Chapter 19 Corpse Transformation
There was a deathly silence in the burial chamber, and the bronze coffin in front of me was empty, except for the scraps of clothing stuck to the bottom of the coffin to prove that the body was still here.....
"The coffin... The female corpse is gone! I said in horror, my body was already extremely cold.
"Damn!" Tie Zhu scolded angrily and glanced at it with a flashlight, "Cai Wen, that bastard!" ”
"Don't speak!" Old Uncle Li said in a low voice.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...."
A heavy crash echoed through the cavern, sounding like a person beating rhythmically...
This dark burial chamber is so strange that I can't breathe nervously at the moment....
At this time, a dazzling purple light suddenly lit up beside him....
I turned my head in surprise to see that it was the Dark Glass Lamp next to me.
"Don't act rashly!" Old Uncle Li held his dark glass cup in his hand and looked around vigilantly, the purple light emitted by the lantern was already strong to the extent of dazzling....
Even in the face of the Ghoul Emperor and the hordes of ghouls, as well as the zombies in the dead man's room, the light of the Dark Glass Jar has never been so strong. This thousand-year-old female corpse may be very tricky.....
Uncle Li said that red light is yin, blue light is living, purple light is corpse, yellow light is ghost....
So now that the purple light is so strong, I'm afraid... The female corpse in the coffin has come back to life....
"Pillar, Chenyi, come here." Old Uncle Li's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "Stay by my side and don't move." ”
"Uncle Li... Why is it inside..."
"The female corpse has been transformed." Uncle Li didn't say more after spitting out a few words.
Corpse?! ... I just felt a chill welling up in my body. The female corpse in the coffin has come back to life... And I just scraped a layer of purple tomb moss off her coffin board...
"Where did Cai Wen run?!" The iron pillar angrily shone a flashlight towards the entrance of the tomb.
In the moment of light, I could clearly see a dark red ribbon flashing through the hole.
I swallowed and foamed at the mouth... That belt... It should be the clothes on the female corpse in the coffin!
"It's going to find Cai Wen." Old Uncle Li said in a low voice. "It seems .... The baby is hopeless. ”
"He deserves it!" Tiezhu gritted his teeth and said.
"The female corpse won't let us go... That hole must not be able to go any further. We have to find another way. ”
I nodded uneasily, "Since the previous tomb robbers were able to come in without breaking the white marble wall, there must be other ways out of the tomb." ”
"Yes, yes, find out if there are any other holes." Tie Zhu's tone was also a little anxious. Although he had always been a tiger, I noticed that his palms holding the flashlight were trembling slightly...
The zombies in the dead man's room have already made us very embarrassed, and now we have encountered a thousand-year-old female corpse, I don't know if the methods of Uncle Li and his apprentices can cope with it...
The three of us fumbled inch by inch on the gray walls of the burial chamber, hoping to find some mystery...
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ....”
At this moment, the sound of footsteps that made my scalp tingle came again...
"How is it so fast?!" My heart suddenly lifted, could it be that Cai Wen has been killed by it, and now it is coming to us again?!
The footsteps are getting closer and closer....
"You go on...."Old Uncle Li lifted the lantern with a gloomy face and walked towards the back....
I didn't dare to catch my breath, and I hurriedly picked up speed with the iron pillar, my hands tapping on one wall after another with my hands.
After a while, I noticed that the stone bricks in front of me had obvious traces of mud masonry, which were obviously out of place with the delicate walls around them.
"Found it!" I exclaimed with ecstasy.
"Really?!" The iron pillar hurriedly came to my side.
"Don't make a sound!" Uncle Li suddenly made a silent gesture towards us.
There was a rustling sound in my ears...
I turned my head to look behind me and was horrified to see the female corpse standing in the middle of the burial chamber!
A pair of black holes looked at us blankly, and the bloody face showed a terrifying hideous appearance!
Its hands lifted little by little, and the joints of its body were as stiff as puppets, and they creaked when it moved...
"Boom!" It jerked to its feet, bouncing its feet, and took a mechanical step forward.
Old Uncle Li hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
Iron Pillar and I hurriedly pulled out the short axe from our backpack and slashed wildly at the wall in front of us.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ....”
The dirt fell with a clatter, and the sound of the female corpse beating and the chopping of the axe mingled. My heart was furious, so nervous that my arms were trembling, and I didn't dare to look back, I didn't know where the female corpse had jumped...
"Poof!"
The iron pillar kicked down the broken mud wall, and in front of him was a dark cavern with no end in sight...
"It's done! Come on! Tiezhu turned his head and exclaimed excitedly.
Only then did I find that Uncle Li's hands were forming strange marks and confronting the female corpse, and the dark glass cup at his feet was shining with a dazzling white light...
And the female corpse in front of her is tattooed like a sculpture!
"Master.... You're in the ...."There was a look of pain in the eyes of the iron pillar...
"Alright... Come on. Old Uncle Li's body trembled, picked up the lantern and turned around and ran towards us.
And the female corpse moved as if she had lost her confinement.
Old Uncle Li hurriedly walked into the entrance of the cave, the dark glass cup in his hand flickered brightly and dimly, and Tie Zhu and I accelerated our steps and followed closely behind.
The road is a bit narrow, with no end in sight, and the deep cavern doesn't know where it leads.
As soon as Uncle Li ran a few steps, he gasped for breath, and seemed to have reached the limit of his body.
The beating sound of the female corpse behind her is getting louder and louder in my ears... It's like you can't get rid of it.
And Uncle Li's pace is getting slower and slower... I anxiously supported him with the iron pillar.
"Poof!"
Old Uncle Li suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When he looked up, I saw a wrinkled face, and his hair was already completely white!
The person in front of him was like an old man in his nineties who was just a breath away from entering the coffin!
I looked at Uncle Li suspiciously, "Uncle Li, what's wrong with you?"
Old Uncle Li's face was pale, dark red blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Let it go... Baby... I can't do it anymore, old fellow. ”
"What do you say?!" Tie Zhu's eyes were shining with tears, and he desperately pulled Uncle Li's arm.
At this time, I was surprised to find that Uncle Li's abdomen was already dripping with blood... This is supposed to be the injury he was injured when dealing with the female corpse just now...
Old Uncle Li slowly sat on the ground with his back against the wall, ".. Still don't get it?.. Beat the watchman... The mission failed.. I have no reason to live.. And I forcibly used the ghost door seal... Excessive overdraft of life... It's impossible to have the strength to finish this journey..."
Tie Zhu hurriedly squatted down and stroked Old Uncle Li's back, "No.. Master.. No, there will be a silver lining for everything. Isn't it?..."
Old Uncle Li lamented heavily, revealing endless sadness, "You are still young... Let's go. The thousand-year-old female corpse has a lot of resentment, and she won't stop if she doesn't kill a few people after the corpse changes. Twenty years ago, he should have died in the Poplar Forest. ”
I heard it in a fog, but I was inexplicably sad, and I didn't know what was going on, so I could only comfort Uncle Li anxiously...
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "A vague figure drew closer and closer in the darkness, and the decaying body throbbed up and down...
The purple light of the dark glass cup became more and more abundant, and the vicissitudes of old Uncle Li's face was also covered with a faint layer of purple...
"Let's go!" Old Uncle Li pushed Tie Zhu's shoulder hard, "If you don't leave, everyone will die!" ”
"Oh yes! Isn't it just a corpse? Tie Zhu wiped a handful of tears vigorously, and there was a resolute look on his face. He held the short axe in his hand and rushed towards the female corpse with arrows, "If you don't try your best, how do you know if you can beat it!" ”
"Pillars! Come back! "Brother Tie!"
The cry landed, but the sturdy body stood in front of the female corpse without hesitation...
Old Uncle Li squeezed out a wry smile sadly, and a tear flowed down the ravine, "Son, we are all damned people, but we have lived for more than 20 years.... Now we are going to Huangquan together.... Possible... That's fate..."
Son..... Don't?! Tiezhu is actually not an apprentice picked up by Uncle Li halfway!? I remember that Gu Ping said before that Uncle Li had a son who didn't know his whereabouts... Is it an iron pillar?!.. It seems that Tiezhu doesn't seem to know....
I stood beside Uncle Li at a loss, it seemed that Uncle Li was dying, in fact, the idea of leaving Uncle Li and them to escape flashed in my mind, but thinking of Uncle Li's master and apprentice escorting me all the way, let me get the purple tomb moss smoothly, although they also had their own purpose just to use me, but they were empty, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty...
"Ahh Ahh The heart-rending screams of the iron pillars sounded in my ears, and in the black fog... The female corpse is holding a bloody arm in her mouth!
I couldn't watch the iron pillar die, so I gritted my teeth, picked up the short axe, and prepared to rush up to help the iron pillar.
Uncle Li grabbed my arm at once, "Come back, baby.. It's useless.." Old Uncle Li gasped hard, "Millennial female corpse..... Beside me... Bad luck is enough to kill everyone, do you want to die again?"
"That'..... What about the iron pillar...", I said anxiously.
As I spoke, I gently held Uncle Li's back with my right hand, because I felt that with Uncle Li's current physical condition, as soon as I let go, he would fall on the dirt.
"Silly child...."Old Uncle Li's voice was already extremely weak, as if squeezed out of his throat, "You.... Let's go. ”
"But... I...."My brain was in a mess and I didn't know what to do.
"Help me.... It's a favor...."Uncle Li trembled and grabbed the dark glass cup beside him and stuffed it into my arms, "Take it.... Go.... Curtain Poplar Forest... I..."
I took the glass cup suspiciously, and I didn't know what Uncle Li meant.
"Curtain.... Poplar... Old Uncle Li's pupils widened suddenly, and he hummed these words out of his throat, as if he had exhausted all the strength in his body.... Slowly closed his eyes.
"Poof!"
There was a violent sound in my ears, and in the black mist, I vaguely saw the strong body of the iron pillar suddenly crack from the middle!
The female corpse suddenly jumped forward...
Old Uncle Li! Iron Pillar!
I held back the tears in the corners of my eyes and stood up with the glass cup in my arms.
There was endless darkness in front of me, and along the narrow passage, I ran forward without looking back....
