Chapter 12 Ghouls

More than a dozen blue dorsal fins were showing on the surface of the water and wandering around the boat...

"One, two, three, four.... There are also seventeen ghouls. ”

The water had already submerged my heels, the boat was tilted to one side, and I stood on the boat in despair ... Finished.. Finished. One ghoul almost killed us, and now there are seventeen more.... How could it be coped, and the ship was about to sink ... I just feel like I can't escape it.

Old Uncle Li stared thoughtfully at the mountain wall full of potholes... It seems that there is nothing he can do for a while...

I looked up at the sky, and the hazy sky covered by white fog made me see no shadow of hope...

"Baby, don't be discouraged." Uncle Li patted me on the shoulder.

"Is there any other way?" Looking at the ghouls around me, I smiled wryly.

Uncle Li said: "Of course there is a way, but it depends on whether you have the courage." ”

I asked, confused, "What else can I do?" ”

Uncle Li didn't answer me, "Pack up your things." Old Uncle Li said that he hurriedly stuffed his lantern and short axe into his backpack.

Old Uncle Li was put on a backpack, jumped over, and plunged into the pit in front of him.

That one.... A pit full of skeletons!

"It's okay! Come here! Old Uncle Li stuck out his head and shouted at me.

Jumping into a pothole .... That's the way to go.

Sooner or later, I'm going to die anyway, and it's a while to live a little longer.

I slowly moved to the side of the boat, the water was up to my knees, and the boat continued to sink. The ghouls seemed to sense something, and sped around me.

"Whoa!"

A dozen ghouls swarmed up, leaping out of the water and lunging at me almost at the same time.

"Jump!" Old Uncle Li shouted.

At the last moment, I gritted my teeth, jumped up, and threw myself into the hole.

A ghoul's claw almost grazed my calf, clawing at the squeak, but only into the air.

I had jumped into the pothole, but because my vision was blurred, my front half of my body reached into the hole, and my thigh hit the rock below, and I bared my teeth in pain. Hell, my feet are still in water!

Uncle Li hurriedly grabbed my arm and dragged me into the cave.

"Poof!"

The waves were more than five meters high behind him, and the boat sank to the bottom of the water in an instant under the repeated impact of the ghoul swarm.

Realizing that the ship was empty, the ghoul immediately turned around and rushed over.

A dozen shadows quickly approached me in the water, and a muscular ghoul shot out of the water like an arrow from a string, opening its bloody jaws and covering me.

I had just climbed into the cave when my heart pounded and I quickly kicked at the ghoul.

"Smack!"

With a kick on its head, the ghoul wriggled and fell into the water.

I sat down in shock, beside me was a pile of white bones, and Uncle Li covered his injured arm and said, "We won't stay here for long." ”

I nodded as I looked at the ghouls in the water outside the cave, these beasts had amazing jumping ability, and they might jump up at any time, and we had to find another way out as soon as possible.

I took out the flashlight from my backpack and shone it into the hole, and I found that the dark and dark hole stretched all the way inside! There is no end in sight to the road of bones.

"This cave is so deep!" I was surprised and said, this is also too strange, are the potholes here so deep?

"Sure enough, there is no cave." Old Uncle Li looked at the bottomless pit like an abyss and said, "Let's go, let's go inside." ”

I whispered, "Why don't you... Let's wait here for the passing ships to rescue us..."Uncle Li's decision is not always right, Tie Zhu and Cai Wen have already encountered an accident, I really don't want to take any more risks...

"Baby." The corners of Uncle Li's mouth were lightly raised, with a hint of banter, "Do you think there will be a ship coming here?"

"But...."I looked at the black rumbling cavern and the piles of white bones around it, and my heart was enveloped by a thick sense of fear....

"Here...," Uncle Li blinked, "there may be something that can save your life." ”

"Really?!" My body is vibrating, will there be purple tomb moss in this hellish place? Or, what about Uncle Li.....

"Hehe, baby, after my years of experience...."Old Uncle Li looked at the darkness in the distance with a deep gaze, "This should be a cemetery." ”

"Why?" I'm completely confused, are so many caves the entrance to the cemetery? If it's really a cemetery .... Why didn't the people in Wangjiazhuang find out?

Uncle Li said: "The bones here should be the craftsmen who built the mausoleum, and usually the owner of the tomb kills the workers who built the mausoleum in order not to be known about the secret of the cemetery." Ghoul... It is a tomb guard monster that is relatively easy to raise, and the entrance to the cave here can indeed lead to the cemetery, but each road intersects with each other to form a huge maze, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get out. ”

Build this cemetery .... Thousands of people were mobilized?! What a horrible scale this must be!

"That's... What can we do? I asked, confused. Could it be that so many people have died here, and we can get out?

Old Uncle Li didn't answer my words, and lowered his head and took out his lantern from his backpack.

It's this mysterious lantern again... I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Uncle Li put the lantern in the palm of his left hand, and to my surprise, the core of the lantern burned out of thin air!

A faint red glow emanated from the lantern....

Noticing my surprised gaze, Old Uncle Li said lightly: "This dark glass cup can be burned with only yin qi, we only need to find the place where yin qi is heaviest, and that is definitely the main tomb!" ”

I bowed my head slightly, I didn't expect this lantern to be so magical...

Old Uncle Li looked at the lantern in his palm, and his eyes revealed complex emotions that were difficult to fathom.

The red light of the lantern gradually converged in front of it.

"Baby, keep up." Uncle Li immediately took a step forward, and I swallowed and foamed at the foam and followed.

There was a fishy smell in the humid air, the narrow passages were barely enough for us to walk side by side, we fumbled in the darkness by the faint light, and our feet creaked as we stepped on the bones on the ground if we were not careful...

What's even more terrifying is the unknown darkness ahead, and whether there will be a ghoul swooping down behind you...

My heart was pounding like a rattle, and my nerves were tense like arrows.

As we continued walking, I noticed clusters of white grass growing on the wet walls.

"Sure enough, this is Lingyunzhi." Old Uncle Li happily picked one plant and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, then dragged down two or three more plants and put them in his backpack, "The common thing in the ancient tomb is Lingyunzhi, we have come to the right place." ”

I'm also a little excited, and now, I'll be able to find Purple Tomb Moss soon.

We continued to walk with our hands on the mud wall...

At this moment, the bright light of the lantern suddenly mixed with a trace of cyan light...

I was just about to continue to take a step, but I found that Uncle Li was standing in place like a stake, and his face suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?!" My heart tugged at it.

"Red light is yin, blue light is living, purple light is corpse, and yellow light is ghost." Old Uncle Li muttered, pointed to the glimmer of green light and said, "There are living creatures ahead." ”

What the?! What other living creatures are there in this place besides us?!

What could it be? People are still .... Ghouls, but I think it would make me even creepier if there were people in this ghost place...

Uncle Li glanced at me, his palm slowly moved to the short axe behind his back, and I also clutched the dagger in my hand.

When I walked a few steps further, I found that the space in the cave suddenly became larger, and the area was like a living room...

My eyes fixed on the hole in front of me, where two bloodied figures lay there. This is...

Cai Wen and Tiezhu!

That's right, although I can't see their faces clearly, I still remember their body shapes and clothes, and I'm sure this is Cai Wen and Tiezhu!

That's great! They haven't been eaten yet, and while they don't seem to be doing well, as long as there is a glimmer of life, it's enough to make me feel lucky.

I was just about to run over to save them, when Uncle Li's pincer-like shriveled palm grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing..."As soon as my words came out, Uncle Li hurriedly made a silent gesture, and he pointed to the big stone behind the hole...

I squint... Blue dorsal fin, pimpled skin... Oh my God, there are six or seven ghouls out there!

They all crawled motionless on the rocks with their eyes closed, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of their bellies, I would have thought they were corpses.

Uncle Li hurriedly pulled me back a few steps and came to the narrow hole. I said anxiously: "Cai Wen, they are still alive!" We're going to save them. ”

"Of course I want to save it." Old Uncle Li said softly: "Cai Wenhe and Zhuzi should just be poisoned and fainted." Ghouls are social animals, and social animals will have a leader. After catching food, they will usually bring it to the leader to eat first, that is, let their boss eat it first, and they can only eat it after the boss is full. For ghouls, after the ghoul catches the food, he first injects trace amounts of toxins through saliva to stun him, and before he dies, he takes a breath and leaves the freshest food for the ghoul emperor. ”

I was surprised and asked, "So... Where's their boss?"

Old Uncle Li frowned and said, "I should be coming over soon." We don't have much time, so we need to hurry. ”

"But there are so many ghouls around, what are we going to do?"

Old Uncle Li grabbed some dirt from the wall and pasted it on his face, "Ghouls have very poor sight and hearing, but they have a keen sense of smell, we only need to use the smell in the cave to cover up the breath on our bodies." ”

I hurriedly followed the example of Uncle Li and pasted mud on myself.

When our skin was almost completely covered in mud and smelled of must, we crept to the clearing.

The group of ghouls still lay on the stone and did not move, only the wings of their noses flapped slightly. But I knew they would pounce on me and tear me to shreds when they woke up.

Tiptoeing to the cave, there were iron pillars and Cai Wen in front of me, I unconsciously held my breath, and watched out for the stones under my feet and slowly picked up Cai Wen.

Feeling his heartbeat, I couldn't help but rejoice, this guy is still alive.

When I stood up with Cai Wengang on my back, I found that Uncle Li was dragging the iron pillar with a distorted face.

How could I forget! Old Uncle Li's arm was bitten, and he couldn't use his strength at all, and Tie Zhu was a strong man, how could he move his back!

I put down Cai Wen and was about to exchange with Uncle Li, but Uncle Li waved his hand, gritted his teeth and lifted it violently, holding the iron pillar on his shoulder.

I noticed that Uncle Li's whole body was shaking like my antique bicycle on the mountain, and Uncle Li motioned for me to go quickly.

I was just two steps away from Cai Wen, but I found that the blue light of the lantern on the ground in front of me skyrocketed! Old Uncle Li's face turned iron....

Yes... The big guy is coming!
