"Good fellow, so many heads of reckless elephants!" The bustard turned and said yes, then threw me the kerosene lamp in his hand, and then quickly pulled out the pistol stuck in his waist, loaded it, and aimed it in the direction of the pile of reckless elephants.

The bustard was about to pull the trigger, but saw that the seven or eight elephants did not move, but continued to stay motionless and look at us with that strange and sly smile. This kind of "standing still" made the old bustard suspicious and didn't dare to do it easily, so he subconsciously moved a step back, raised his head and looked at the monsters in front of him.

"Something is wrong." Tang Haitang also felt the hint of this quiet atmosphere. She raised her wrist to aim at the elephants, but the demon avoidance rope in her hand did not shake as usual, "The rope did not move, and I couldn't detect any demonic energy nearby." ”

"No movement? Did they deliberately restrain their demonic energy? ”

"No, even if it is restrained, it is impossible not to reveal the slightest demonic energy."

The bustard and I also went to check the ropes we were wearing, but there was no movement.

We cast our gaze again on the spectacles, who were still staring at us with the same smiling eyes, their faces frozen in hippie smiles, and the light of the kerosene lamps reflected on them, reflecting a kind of oily glow like powder.

"Why do you look so stiff?" The bustard noticed the strangeness of these phenomena, and as he spoke, he slowly moved towards the position of the monsters, keeping his fingers on the trigger on guard.

"Be careful." Tang Haitang admonished.

The bustard nodded. As he got closer, the kerosene lamp in his hand shone more and more clearly on the bodies of the elephants that were pestleed. And those reckless images still continued to stand there quietly, their posture remained the same, their expressions frozen, and they still showed the strange expressions of smiling and grinning, like terracotta figurines.

It didn't take long for the bustard to get close to the front of the elephant, he clenched the pistol, did not dare to slack off, carefully raised the kerosene lamp in his hand, approached the elephant, and looked at it carefully with his eyes wrinkled like a mung bean.

Then we could see in the clear light that there were dry cracks on the face of the elephant, unevenly distributed, as if cracked, especially at the corners of the mouth, there were also cracks, grinning all the way to the back of the ear, as if the mouth had been split, which was very terrifying.

As the bustard's light continued to move down or to the left and right, we could see that the monster had these "cracks" on its body, and we also noticed that the red belly pocket on its chest was already worn, and many pieces of rags were torn into it, hanging scattered. At the same time, we also found that the skin of this elephant was not as moisturized as we had seen before, but more like a dry corpse, like a corpse that had been drained of water!

The old bustard saw something more or less in his heart, and gently wiped the elephant's body with his hand, and rubbed it in his fingertips for a while. Turning to us, he said, "This demon is very dry, and the muscles all over his body are stiff and feel like coking coal. It is like a water demon, and it is impossible for there to be no water on the body, and these phenomena in front of him should already be dried corpses. ”

"You mean, these monsters are dead?" I was a little surprised.

The old bustard lifted the lamp, stepped on his feet, and looked at the few elephants behind him—they all looked so immovable. The old bustard nodded: "It's really strange that these statues still maintain such a posture when they die, and I'm afraid there is something evil in this demon mound that makes them die like this." ”

I stared at the images in front of me, and they still maintained that smiling posture at this moment, staring at us unmoving. Although they knew that these monsters were dead, their eyes seemed to be alive, with the cunning and eerie smile of a child, and they looked particularly frightened, like little ghosts asking for their lives.

I asked the bustard, "What about what we saw in the cave before?" ”

The bustard shook his head. "Maybe it's a hallucination, maybe these images are ghosts, I can't tell, this place is always unpredictable."

The bustard's attention was not here, but quickly shifted to the silver rings on the hands and feet of the elephants and around their necks. The old bustard said that these demons are "blessed demons" for demon thieves, and they are carrying "gold bags", and the old bustard is a person who loves money, how can he let go of the ducks cooked in front of him. So, the old bustard carefully unbuckled the silver ring on the neck of the elephant in front of him, took it off, and put it in his hand to watch.

"Tut-tut, it's a first-class product, although the silver is not worth much these days, but it can be sold for more or less money." The old bustard blew the ash on the silver ring, wiped it with his sleeve and put it in his pocket, and laughed: "Hey, if you don't say that it looks like a moving mussel shell, this is a pearl when you break it." One, two, three, four, five, six, hehe, there are so many reckless signs, I haven't opened the coffin yet, and my pocket is about to be filled. Master, I like such demons. ”

The old bustard grinned proudly, and reached out to touch the silver ring on the hand of the elephant in front of him.

It was at this time, by the light, that I seemed to see the eyes of the reckless elephant suddenly move! I was startled, for fear that I would be dazzled, so I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully, only to see that the eyeballs were really moving, turning left and right twice, and finally stopped on the old bustard in front of me!

The old bustard was picking up the silver ring at this time, and did not notice the movement at all. And then, I saw that the corners of the elephant's mouth began to twitch, and then the body, all of which shook slightly, and the stiff flesh was like a machine in disrepair that was running and vibrating again!

Uncle Bai and Tang Haitang both noticed this situation. The monster in front of you seems to be about to revive the terracotta warriors!

"Bustard!" I shouted.

As soon as my words fell, the bustard also happened to subconsciously raise his head, and at this moment, the reckless image in front of it completely "lived", and his two hands suddenly put on the bustard's shoulders, and then the whole body pressed towards the bustard!

The old bustard was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and was thrown to the ground by the elephant, and after a few rolls, the elephant pressed on the old bustard's body.

The elephant grinned and rode on it, still with that weird smile on its face, it looked at the old bustard, the corners of its mouth kept upturning, and the cracks next to it were stretched open, revealing black carrion!

The next second, the elephant opened its mouth. This monster's mouth is also like a baby's, and it won't be as wide as the previous catfish demon. But to my horror, when it opened its mouth, I found that it didn't have a tongue, but instead it was blood-colored "bugs" growing out from under the gums! Each "bug" is the thickness of a finger, writhing unscrupulously in the mouth, and the top is also lined with a ring of dense small teeth, which looks like the intestines have become sperm!

Before I could react, one of the "bugs" bit directly and quickly on the bustard's arm!

"Ahh The old bustard shouted in pain. At this time, although the old bustard's kerosene lamp was out of his hands, he also had his hands free to move. So the old bustard quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist and quickly slashed towards it, and the "worm" was cut in half. Then he raised his hand and stabbed the dagger hard into the back of the monster's head.

Ka!

The dagger pierced the elephant's skull and pierced the hard flesh deeply! The old bustard, this guy usually sheep, but when he does the right thing, he hits the nail on the head with a ferocious hand, and the reaction just now is definitely an emergency speed that only a person who has been crawling for a long time can have.

But to our surprise, the monster didn't react at all! It didn't seem to feel pain, its face was still smiling, and the "bugs" growing out of its mouth were shaking like poisonous snakes about to move, and they seemed to have the playful expressions of a child who had succeeded in a prank.

Truly!

Immediately afterward, we heard the strange laughter again, and hurriedly heard the sound and looked, only to see that the remaining elephants behind us were moving one after another! They cracked their mouths stiffly, evoking a series of terrifying and terrifying amplitudes.
