Chapter Eighty-Three: The Vampire Root Net
The sun looms in the western mountains, and the remnants of the sun through the woods are like crystals that have been shattered and sprinkled on the ground.
There are some mottled figures shaking under the west mountain, and there is a small village here. Hou Yu told everyone that this is our final destination.
A large dirt road runs through the village, and the houses are located near the dirt road.
Walking to the entrance of the village, there is a large stone tablet erected on the side of the dirt road, on which three words are written in traditional Chinese - White Bone Village!
"White Bone Village...... What village has such a weird name? ”
The peculiar name of the village smoothly attracted everyone's attention, and the timid people even retreated exaggeratedly with white faces.
It's really weird. I looked around the village.
The village is surrounded by mountains, which is gloomy, and although the mountains are not as exaggerated as to cover all the sun, they can only receive light at noon, and the sun will not shine on the village as long as it is slightly off.
I had never encountered such terrain and feng shui, and I didn't understand it at all, but my intuition told me that it was definitely not good feng shui.
The stele is surrounded by weeds, and some words can be seen in the vague position of the weeds at the bottom of the stele.
I peeled off the knee-high grass and walked to the front of the stele, the bright red fonts had been erased, and the only thing I could see was the two words at the end - help!
Help - I don't know which string in my memory I touched, and I suddenly felt cold in my hands and feet.
I crouched down in front of the stele, trying to get close to the blurred letters, trying to read what was written on them. However, this is meaningless, and the words in front of it are completely unreadable.
Maybe it's a bloodstain left by a person, but after the blood has dried up, it should be reddish-brown and not so bright. When I reached out and touched it, it was nothing more than red paint, and I saw that the words "help" were written in paint, which made people feel like a prank.
A fresh breeze blew, and there was a rotting stench in the wind, and this smell was close at hand, the stench of rotting meat that I was familiar with.
An alarm sounded in my head, and I stood up and looked around, trying to discern where the smell of rot was coming from.
The smell is very strong, as if it is behind the stone tablet-
Cold sweat oozed from his forehead. There was also the smell of blood in that smell of decay, and the smell was so strong that it was definitely not a corpse of a small object, could it be-
Maybe my nerves were too sensitive along the way, but I just couldn't help but think so.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly peeled off the grass and walked towards the back of the stele. "Whoa—" The weeds behind the stele moved, causing me to stiffen slightly, but I still stiffened forward.
In broad daylight, it's just wild things at best. I was so self-soothing.
I took a step forward, the grass rattling as if something was about to come out.
"Ahh
I didn't know that the woman was screaming, and before I could see what was rushing through, I felt a stench rush towards me, and I was slammed to the ground.
"Ahh I'm sure this eerie voice is definitely not from the brigade.
The women behind him began to cry, and even without looking back, they could imagine them hugging each other or hiding in the arms of the boys. I didn't know what they saw so alarmed, the thing that hit me spread the stench all over me, and I wanted to vomit.
"Ziyi, how are you? Are there any injuries? Brother Fengyu walked up to me, he pressed my shoulder, and looked at me with worried and panicked eyes. That look, as if I had been on a trip from hell, was the kind of look that had been lost and recovered, or even more exaggerated.
"I'm fine, what do you see?"
He shook his head, "It's nothing, maybe we're wrong." ”
How many people are wrong? What can't be said?
He had no intention of taking on the topic at all, or rather avoided it.
"I'll help you up." As he spoke, he pulled me.
"Ahh
It turned out that my body was full of broken glass, probably thrown here by the villagers, and my right palm was punctured by a piece of glass, about five or six centimeters, and I could see the pink tender flesh under the skin.
Blood fell between the fingers and between the broken glasses, and the blood that fell on the glass disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A bad premonition immediately crept into my heart, I shook off Brother Fengyu's hand, didn't care about the wound on my hand, took out the dagger pinned to my waist, squatted down and began to dig.
The pain in the palm of the heart, the blood stains along the dagger fell on the glass and still disappeared. Beneath the glass was a layer of black-green earth, a faint stench that was the same as that of the thing that had hit me.
"I'll do it anyway."
Brother Wind and Rain snatched the dagger and took over my job.
Peeling the soil layer by layer, the smell was even more pungent, and Brother Fengyu had to tilt his head and try to avoid inhaling the disgusting smell directly into his lungs.
The black-green soil began to redden, like dried bloodstains, and the deeper you dug down, the closer the color got to the dried bloodstains, and the dark red soil had a snow-white root web.
I stood aside, blood accidentally falling on the roots, and the snow-white roots shook slightly like a pulse twice before calming down. The blood stains on the root web disappeared, leaving only the blood that had been stained with dirt turned a dark red.
Brother Fengyu made a move, he looked at the root net for a while, and then cut off the snow-white root with a knife.
"Whew-"
After a terrible cry, insects smaller than grains of rice poured out of the roots, and they fled like overflowing water.
"Let's go!" As soon as I picked up Brother Fengyu, who was still stunned in place, I ran towards the dirt road.
Leaving the grass, the insects didn't catch up, and I collapsed on the ground at the same time as Brother Fengyu.
Leaning on him, looking up at the blue-blue sky that looked gloomy, I chuckled lowly: "Brother Wind and Rain, can we get out alive?" What are those bugs, I don't have any idea at all, maybe they eat people, right? Like the blood mantis we saw in the tombs. "My voice is very small, just enough for Brother Fengyu to hear.
I can't catch ghosts, what can I do without money? Brother Fengyu must not have an accident, obviously just to relax for me, but he fell into such a huge trap. Now, who would dare to say that tourism in the middle of the valley is not a trap?
"It's okay, I'll protect you, just like the team leader."
His voice came from behind me, and the words just made me feel bitter. Protect me again! When will I be able to protect others?
It's just Brother Fengyu, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect me this time, so let me, a rookie, protect you.
"Ziyi?" When I didn't answer, he called out to me worriedly.
"Hmm."
"It's okay, we can get out alive."
"Maybe." If the entire Zhongshui Valley is a demon cave, how easy is it to leave alive? "Brother Wind and Rain, can you tell me what you just saw?"
After three seconds of silence, he calmly spat out two words: "Monster!"
