A Visitor to the Mountains Chapter 8 The Smell of Blood

The tomb is calm, the water around the hall is not alarmed, under this silver mirror-like water, hundreds of figurines sleep here, for thousands of years, with the same posture to guard the owner of the tomb. Because of the sweltering heat, the stagnant water in the pit of the figurines gave birth to a layer of water vapor, which wrapped the palace in the center of the water, with fireflies, revealing a faint green light. The palace is faintly "floating" in the middle of the water, like a dream.

Seeing the changed taste, I swallowed.

"It's gone."

Xiao Yong looked for a long time on the ground and said with a little unwillingness.

The mysterious trail of footprints disappeared at the entrance of the tomb, and our trail was broken.

"I said, forget if you can't find it, it's hard to keep looking for it, the main burial chamber is there, and the boiled duck is in your mouth, you don't eat it!" The youkai pouted.

"That's our brother, of course you're not in a hurry! I'm going to dig up that. The bald man said through gritted teeth.

The monster was about to fight back, but the mustache said, "If you don't get that trouble out now, you'll have to die later." ”

"It's coming again, grandpa let it eat peanuts!" The youkai flashed his submachine gun.

"You're no match for him." The eagle reminded him.

I watched them argue, but I didn't mention a very important thing, and I said, "There's a tricky question. If we want to reach the palace in the water, how can we get there? The water is full of piranhas. ”

"It's true that in the current situation, we can't get into the water." Tang Zhengcao echoed.

"Find that trouble first, and then find a way to cross the river." The eagle took a few steps back and forth at the water's edge and pointed at us.

"The murderer certainly won't go into the water, it must still be on the road. If it wants to go to the south and west of the cemetery, it must bypass the stagnant water, so it has to go to the north of the cemetery. "I grabbed my flashlight and walked a few steps north.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." The eagle patted me on the shoulder.

……

There is no difference between the north and east graves, the same waterlogged figurines pit and firefly curtains, but they look more profound. At the junction of the tomb passage and the tomb, we accidentally found a pair of ear chambers.

Everyone was as excited about this discovery as they were discovering a new continent, and they couldn't wait to go in and have a look, but the eagle stopped us, and he whispered:

"That trouble, maybe it's in there. We want to be ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the monster crooked his mouth and chuckled, shook his hand away, and strode in alone with a gun, and said as he walked: "What the hell is the Laush, grandpa, when have I ever been afraid!" ”

Seeing him enter, the bald man was not far behind and followed.

I walked at the end of the line, standing outside the ear chamber, and in front of me was Tang Zhengcao. Because of the death of the fat man and others, I was very afraid of walking at the end and wanted to go in quickly, but Tang Zhengcao kept walking very slowly, hesitantly blocking the door of the ear room, I couldn't help but be anxious, so I pushed him, but he didn't move as if blocked.

"What are you doing?"

He looked absent-minded, and when I asked him this, he actually showed a weak expression.

I remembered the restless look in his eyes when he was looking for the grave before: Could it be that this kid is hiding something from us?

He seemed to read my doubt, hesitated for a moment, and whispered in my ear:

"There's something wrong with this tomb, let's run away!"

I was shocked, what does this mean! Run now? Where to flee?

Tang Zhengcao saw that I was unmoved, and added: "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to get out!" ”

What kind of song is this, run away now, don't say what you can't say, it's very likely that you will be shot to death before you take two steps.

"What are you two doing there, hurry up and look for it together!" Just as I was struggling, the mustache called us over.

I clearly saw a wave of despair rise in Tang Zhengcao's eyes, and he walked into the ear chamber with a dead face. I followed him nervously, breathless.

Yes, even though I seem to be a little more familiar with these tomb robbers now, tomb robbers are still tomb robbers, and since they are willing to take such risks for profit, they will definitely kill people for profit, and Ah Chang is a good example. Thinking of this, I feel that I have been beaten back to my original form in an instant, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and this form will not change because I am particularly hardworking.

In addition, what is the problem with the tomb that Tang Zhengcao said? His panicked expression just now is still imprinted in my mind, what's wrong with the tomb? Did he see any danger? That thing? Or is there something else? What the hell is he hiding from me.

My heart was disorganized, and I didn't have the heart to observe this ear chamber at all, I approached Tang Zhengcao's side, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong with the tomb, but the bald man shouted at the right time:

"Someone the fuck has been here!"

The monster kicked open a coffin lid and answered: "I said that I haven't looked for any treasure for a long time, this has already been swept once!" Who is so lacking in virtue, and he doesn't leave us some! ”

The whole transept was in shambles, littered with broken ceramics, broken wooden strips, broken coffins, skeletons, and fragments of small bronzes, which of course were worthless in the eyes of the tomb robbers.

"Gotta it, in vain, what a-"

The youkai was about to turn around and go out, when the eagle quickly grabbed his arm while holding his 45 pistol with his other hand.

The monster was about to attack, and when he saw the eagle's face full of horror, he knew that the situation was not good, and he became vigilant.

"What's wrong?"

"I smell the blood again." The eagle whispered.

Everyone stopped talking. All eyes followed the eagle's flashlight throughout the room. Eventually, that spot of light rested on a few coffins in the southeast corner. The coffins were very broken, and some of them had fallen apart because they had been rummaged through. Under the illumination of the beam, we were surprised to find that there were a few finger prints on the coffin board of several coffins-

Blood-red finger prints.

My heart went to my throat. Everyone looked at each other, hesitating to go over.

Seeing this, the monster snorted coldly, cursed in his mouth, and walked up with a gun.

"Ye Feng......" The mustache pointed a gun at me and motioned for me to go over together.

With a youkai in front of me, I was bold enough to follow him.

Standing in front of the ruined coffin and skeleton, I held my breath and cooperated with the youkai, trembling with the flashlight.

As the saying goes, the most terrifying thing is the non-figurative thing, and when it actually appears, it is not so scary. At this moment, it should be the most terrible moment of our trouble, we don't know what it is, but we are getting infinitely close to it, the eyes that peeked at me in the dark before, are now in some coffin. Almost instantly, their owners would crawl out of their coffins.

Which coffin, which white bones?

Horror, infinite horror hangs over my heart.

My flashlight swept over every coffin, skull, bone.

Suddenly, that familiar sense of peeping came again-

That thing is looking at me again! I felt my hair stand on end. Where? I cried out helplessly in the depths of my heart, and at the same time, I caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of my eye—

Reflected from the coffin.

I subconsciously looked for it-

It was the reflected light of a pair of eyes.

In a coffin, through the half-concealed lid, I saw a miserable white face with a blank face......
