Chapter 44: The Empty Shell

The hands in the watch began to rotate rapidly, as if they would never stop, and they began to spin wildly, and the buzzing sound echoed here all the time......

I don't know what happened, but we didn't feel the time change except for the clock, and the scenery around us was the same.

At this point, it occurred to me that something happened.

Could the anomaly on the hour hand of the watch be related to the magnetic field?

It was the magnetic field that caused the watch to malfunction...... It's very unlikely, but it's definitely not possible!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out a compass from my bag, which I had always used as a compass, and now it came in handy.

Seeing my movements, Qibao and Chang Longxiang also instantly understood what I meant, and took out military-standard compasses from their pockets.

The hands didn't rotate, and there were no other inexplicable situations, which made my heart go hairy.

"Up the hill...... Hurry ........"

As I said this, my voice began to tremble uncontrollably, and the strange stars in the sky seemed to be moving unhurriedly along the same orbit as if the sun was rising in the east and setting in the west......

The stars return to their positions, and the star gates are wide open.

Those beings that we can't imagine are embarking on a journey home, across the deep sky and the sea of stars, heading straight for our world......

I could faintly hear the buzzing of my watch...... The sound of footsteps from above the sky......

They may be coming.

At this juncture, everyone seemed silent, and their steps became a little flustered, as if something terrible was chasing us from behind.......

The feeling of trembling our legs when we walk has made our previously stable emotions fall into panic again.

Almost everyone can feel that there is something more cruel than the calamity....... Something more frightening than the end times....... It is descending from the sky unhurriedly......

It is no exaggeration to say that that feeling is even more unacceptable than dying.

At this time, the fog in the mountain has completely dissipated.

In fact, I don't think this mountain range can be regarded as the real Kunlun Mountain, because the more I climbed, the more I found that this mountain was the same as the Kunlun Mountain in my memory...... The greater the difference.

There is only one big difference.

Snow.

Climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top, we only saw dense woods, no ice or snow, and the temperature remained in a strange condition, and the climate was not so extreme at all......

I remember that the Kunlun Mountains looked quite desolate, and in those old photos, the Kunlun Mountains were snow-capped mountains....... But now the higher I go, the denser the woods become, and the breath of life that is hard to ignore is constantly manifesting itself from the mountains, and even I can hear the heart of this majestic mountain beating.

"I was here many years ago......"

Suddenly, the old ancestor opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere a little by chatting, and walked beside me and chatted with me.

"At that time, the area was very desolate, there were no trees in sight, and from the foot of the mountain, there were glaciers everywhere that did not melt, and the temperature was much cooler than now.......

The old ancestor sighed, and his expression was also a little emotional: "Now such a change...... Nine times out of ten, it was made up by the turtle grandsons of the old sect....... I really don't know what they're trying to do........ Obviously to bring disaster to this world....... But it makes it look like it's full of life........"

"Maybe they're idle." I replied.

Hearing this, the old ancestor glanced at me, looked at me face to face, and laughed together.

Maybe we're also having fun in the midst of suffering, and we can still fucking laugh at such a critical juncture.......

"Don't you know, Kunlun Mountain at that time was not generally desolate, let alone under the mountain, even within a few miles of this vicinity, there was no one to see, and it was only later that people ........"

The Ancestor was talking to me about this, but before he could finish speaking, he quickly stopped.

Not only that, but the expression on his face also stiffened, his eyes flickered, and his muscles tensed as he looked at the things that were scattered all over the mountain path in front of him.

That's a lot of people...... No....... It's the people who have become empty shells.

On the forest path leading to the top of the hill in front of us, there were many people in different costumes kneeling on the ground, hands clasped in front of their chests, heads slightly bowed, as if in prayer, and even I could feel the devotion in their backs.

Once they were alive, but unfortunately now they are empty shells.

The person closest to me, who was only two meters away from me, walked up and looked at it, and saw that the man's skin had dried up and cracked, and his eyes were gone, and his sockets were empty, and he couldn't see anything, but he didn't close his eyes.......

I crouched down, carefully observed the corpse, and touched it lightly with my hand, only to find that his skin had become very hard, a bit like air-dried pottery, and an indescribably smooth.

Sensing this, I couldn't help but gently tap him with my hand.

Immediately, there was an empty echo in his body, like a hollow pottery, and the crisp sound made me stunned for a moment.

His body was hollow, and his whole body was an empty shell, with no internal organs, no flesh and blood, and nothing in his body.

Looking through his empty eyes, all I could see was darkness and a glimmer of fire....... Fire??

At this time, the empty shell corpse in front of me had already undergone a mutation, and in the depths of his eyes, red veins with temperature appeared unhurriedly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene at this time is very strange, not only the dead body in front of me, but also the dead corpses we can see all around.

Their dryness was like the surface of the skin of pottery, and countless cracks were abruptly opened, and in these cracks, there were many things similar to lava, which were flowing slowly and silently.

At this time, our group of people were all observing these strange dead corpses, and everyone was surprised by the abnormal changes that appeared on their bodies, and no one expected such a thing to happen.

But what we didn't expect was that at this moment, the corpse next to the spider boy suddenly exploded.

It's like a piece of pottery that has been cracked, blown into pieces of ceramic, and it doesn't look like a human corpse no matter how you look at it.

At the same time, the lava-like stuff inside it seemed to come to life, gathering into a clump of balls, and crashing into the spiderboy closest to it.

My ancestor and I reacted quickly, and almost immediately rushed to the spider boy's side, trying to pull him away, but I didn't think that the speed of that thing was also fast, even if we saved the spider boy in time and didn't let the lava hit his chest, but his arm was still ......

"You...... Your hand ......." The killer looked at the spider boy with a blank expression, and his voice trembled.

Without waiting for him to say anything more, I yelled directly with the old ancestor and shouted in unison.

"Don't be stunned!! Come on!! Get around these dead bodies!! Fast!! ”

Only half of the spider boy's sleeve remained, and only half of the arm hidden in the sleeve remained.

From the elbow position downward, all the parts that touched the lava were instantly evaporated into nothingness, and the terrifying lethality made me feel terrible when I looked at it.

I have to say that the spider boy was so hard that he lost half of his arm, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, and his face was pale and he was carried out by me.

The others didn't dare to hesitate, and with the sound of the corpse exploding, we also detoured as far as we could, intending to head to the top of the mountain from the other side of the mountain road.

"What the hell is all that magma......" I said through gritted teeth, my heart beating fast, "my flesh can't even resist their temperature....... The few drops that sputter out of it can penetrate my flesh....... This lethality is more terrifying than my Miao knife......."

"There's something else."

The old ancestor said, his voice was obviously a little trembling, constantly urging us to run.

"Something has been thrown down from the mountain...... Right behind us!! ”
