Chapter 17: The Cry
After being attacked, Betsy instinctively wanted to resist. At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ears: "Shhhhh ”
And this voice is the Wang Hai who disappeared before. Squatting next to him, there are also Zhang Jingrui and Li Zeyan. After seeing that her companion was safe and sound, Betsy finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded obediently.
Several people hid in the house for about ten minutes, and after making sure that it was safe, Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Betsy.
"Wang Hai, you're scared to death! Are you alright? Betsy didn't blame him for what he did, she knew that there must be a reason for him to do so. Wang Hai had been locking Betsy in his arms out of worry. Now after reacting, his face suddenly turned red and hot, and he hurriedly said to Betsy: "That, don't get me wrong, I won't deliberately take advantage of you." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Jingrui sighed: "Let me tell you." That Ma Yuezong, we suspect that he is not human. Just before entering the house, Wang Hai inadvertently patted Ma Yuezong on the shoulder. At that time, he threw himself into the room behind him, and did not find the details. It wasn't until he patted Zhang Jingrui on the shoulder that Wang Hai remembered something.
"When I patted Ma Yuezong on the shoulder, I felt that it was very soft. It's like, he doesn't have bones......"
The three of them soon realized that this "Ma Yuezong" was probably killed together when the strong man disappeared, and then the ghost disguised himself as him and followed everyone all the time. Unsurely, the three of them lost their attention for a while.
In the end, Zhang Jingrui proposed to hide in the house and wait and see, in the event of losing news of the trio, Betsy would definitely come to find their whereabouts. And Ma Yuezong has always been timid and cowardly, and he will definitely not propose to enter the house to look for them, otherwise it will be easy to be suspected.
Sure enough, Betsy lived up to their expectations and really went to the house alone.
"I knew you wouldn't leave your companions behind." The joy on Wang Hai's face was quickly replaced by solemnity: "It's just that girl named Gu Meng...... It should be more than auspicious by now. ”
"No way, that's her own choice." Li Zeyan took out a crumpled letter from his pocket and was stained with dark black blood and said, "It's already the ninth, if you don't stop her, it's too late." ”
The three of them had already successfully found the key prop Blood Book, coupled with the ancient coins in Li Zeyan's hand, as long as these two things were put into the mouth of the female corpse, they could successfully prevent the birth of the fetus in her womb.
Without further ado, the four of them immediately set off for the mountain. When they came out of the house, they found that the sky outside had been covered with dark clouds, and it was now noon, but the sky was as dark as night.
"Oh my name, we've got to hurry!" Li Zeyan realized that something was wrong, and several people immediately quickened their pace and rushed up the mountain as if flying. Along the way, they saw layers of thick black fog spread halfway up the mountainside, mixed with the cries of men, women and children, and the wails of the unjust dead souls were extremely terrible, making several people shudder.
"Ahh Becky's ankle was suddenly grabbed by a ghost hand sticking out of the ground, and when the ghost hand touched her skin, it made a "zizi" burning sound, and the girl let out a cry of pain along with the smell of burning.
"Let her go!"
Wang Hai remembered the tragic death of the middle-aged man on the beach, and immediately pulled out the kitchen knife on his waist with red eyes and slashed at this ghost hand. Unexpectedly, this time his attack had an effect, and this ghost hand was really cut off by him in three or two.
Wang Hai dropped the kitchen knife and put Betsy behind him, and Zhang Jingrui, who was on the side, was quick and used a wooden stick to knock down the ghost hand who was about to attack the two. "Let's go, there are more and more ghost hands!"
At this moment, the dirt road in the mountains is full of disastrous and thin arms, and from a distance, it looks like a dense bamboo shoot breaking out of the ground, and the scalp is numb to see. Li Zeyan rushed to the front to open the way, a dagger in his hand was flexible and beautiful, and every time he could accurately cut off the ghost hand that hindered everyone's progress.
"Wang Hai, let me down, I'll drag you down if I go on like this." Betsy felt the heavy panting of Wang Hai beneath her, and she said to him as she endured the pain in her ankle.
Becky's left foot had been severely corroded from the attack just now, and at the moment there were only a few pieces of flesh attached to the bone, which looked terrible. But even so, this strong girl still gritted her teeth and survived, and was not willing to drag her companions down.
"No, I won't leave you." Wang Hai lifted her up hard, gritted his teeth and sped up.
Zhang Jingrui, who was on the side, said while resisting the attack: "That's right, besides, these ghost hands are obviously controlled by the female corpse!" ”
They can't afford to lose a single companion anymore. The female corpse is still one last human life as a sacrifice, and before reaching the cave, no matter what, she must live! A strong desire to survive erupted in the hearts of several people, and under the leadership of Li Zeyan, the group overcame obstacles and avoided the attack of the ghost hand with difficulty, and finally really reached the cave.
Looking at the dark cave entrance in front of him, several people were already scarred, and the most serious one was Li Zeyan. As a pioneer in forging ahead, he faced numerous attacks along the way. At this moment, Li Zeyan's arms, abdomen, and thighs have many corroded wounds, and a skin near his ribs has completely melted, and Bai Sensen's bones can be vaguely seen through his ragged clothes. With such a serious injury, without any treatment, even a strong adult man may not be able to survive for long.
"Let's go." Zhang Jingrui immediately stepped forward to support Li Zeyan, and the four of them limped into the cave**.
Under the raised black rocks were four pitch-black coffins, which contained the corpses of Gu Meng and the others who had been used for living sacrifices. Li Zeyan was too injured to climb, and Wang Hai's arm was also injured while protecting Betsy, so the final responsibility fell on Zhang Jingrui.
"Leave it to me." Taking the ancient coins and blood book from Li Zeyan's hand, Zhang Jingrui carefully put these two things into his bag. He then began to slowly climb along the bulge near the stone wall. The last hope of everyone is in Zhang Jingrui's hands.
After climbing the stone wall, he chose a place to stay, and finally jumped onto the stone where the female corpse was.
Uncovering the three thin human skins covered by the corpse, Zhang Jingrui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after seeing the smiling face of the female corpse.
"Don't be afraid, I can." He trembled and broke open the female corpse's mouth, plucked up his courage, and stuffed the ancient coin and the blood book into it.
The corpse's eyes suddenly opened at this moment. After facing the female corpse's cold eyes, Zhang Jingrui screamed in fright, and the whole person sat aside.
The terrible thing did not happen, only to see the corpse turn into a cloud of black smoke and disappear in front of him.
"Knot, it's over?" Zhang Jingrui didn't expect it to be so simple in the end, and after being stunned for three seconds, he was in ecstasy, poked his head out of the stone, and shouted to his companions below: "It's okay!! The female corpse is gone!! ”
"Great! Well done Zhang! Wang Hai excitedly gave him a thumbs up, and said to Li Zeyan and Betsy beside him: "It's over, we can leave!" ”
"No, it's not over yet." Li Zeyan half-leaned against the wall, his face pale: "Did you hear that?" The cry of a woman. ”
Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, and after calming down and listening, he found that it was indeed as Li Zeyan said, in this dark and dense cave, a woman's cry came. And where the cry comes from...... It was a coffin that came out of the ground.
