Chapter 11: The Mountain of Corpses
By the time I crawled out of the altar, the screams outside had already resounded with gunshots.
Standing on the top and looking down, under the altar, the situation in the small square is in full view.
The hill of corpses formed by the remaining team members had already squirmed at this moment, and every dead corpse came to life, stretching out their hands at the Qin soldiers not far away, their mouths wide open.......
Their eye sockets seemed to be forcibly enlarged, and their eyeballs became larger several times, all of which protruded, and they looked like the eyes of dead fish, full of dullness and indescribable death.
The flesh of the corpses had been corroded and melted to the point that nothing was left, but for some reason, they could still scream in their mouths.
No, to be exact, it should be a scream.
Like the screams of the living on the verge of death, full of despair, the voice was so poignant that it seemed to penetrate my brain and make me feel the fear they had experienced.
But what puzzled me the most was that the pile of corpses was not separated.
That's right, it's not separated, maybe some people don't understand what I said, the corpses are all alive, how can there be such a thing as inseparable?
But that's just the way it is.
The lower bodies of these corpses were wrapped together like chaotic balls of yarn, entangled with each other, as if they had tied a dead knot, completely and forcibly fused together.
Although this is the case, the corpses that suddenly come to life can move.
It's like a giant ball of yarn with feet at the bottom, able to move slowly.
The feet that support their huge "flesh" are the pile of corpses at the bottom...... It is their arms that support their bodies to make movements that move.
I swear.
I've never seen anything so weird, neither in a book, nor in a story, nor even in a bizarre dream, and I can't imagine anything like it!!
What the fuck is this?!!
Not far from this pile of corpses, there were some human mutilated limbs scattered around, and just by looking at them, those human limbs were still very fresh, and the broken places, the flesh and blood were alive, as if they had just been torn from the living people.
More than ten meters away, I could smell the unpleasant smell of blood.
Without much thought, I turned my head and looked at Qin Bing and their group of people, roughly counting...... It doesn't seem to be counted, everyone who needs to see it knows it.
Originally, there were not many team members who came with us to do things, but now there are suddenly six or seven less, and the contrast between the front and back is so great that I feel like I have seen it wrong.
"Come down and help!!" Qin Bing roared, holding the muzzle of the gun, and kept pulling the trigger.
The fiery snake flew frantically at the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets that had been processed by the official internal gentleman were like roars, and they rained down on the giant monster like a roar.
That monster is no longer a corpse, it can't be separated, it's a separate existence.
My gut told me that the monsters were alive, but the dead air on them couldn't hide it.
It was the breath of the dead, and only those who had been dead for a certain period of time could emit such a strong breath of death.
"Don't go near it!! This monster moves very slowly!! It can't catch you!! I shouted, "Run around the altar, shoot as you run, just fire two shots every now and then to get its attention, and I'll take care of the rest!" ”
Hearing my words, Qin Bing responded loudly: "Okay!! ”
As soon as the words fell, he and the rest of the team began to retreat, slowly retreating around the altar, and firing two shots from time to time to attract the attention of the monster.
The moment the bullet touched the monster, there was a muffled bang, and it exploded directly, and it couldn't hurt it at all, and it could only cause a certain amount of ridicule to it.
If you want to inflict substantial damage on this monster, you have to use some special means.
As far as the current situation is concerned, summoning the Villain and letting it help me deal with that monster should be the best policy, not only will there be no loss to me, but the odds of victory should be quite good.
But after thinking about it for two seconds, I decisively gave up this option.
Now there are only two possibilities, either the people of the old religion are far away and have avoided this place of trouble.
Either they are reluctant to give up the platform, and they are still hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, waiting to ambush us.......
I think it's most likely the latter.
Since I haven't played against a really strong enemy, the hole cards I have shouldn't be exposed too early, so it's easy to fall into a passive situation.
Playing passive in front of the old religion is basically equivalent to looking for death.
Don't look at the last time I teamed up with the Evil Son, plus Qibao and Chang Longxiang, and cleaned up a group of old sect gentlemen together, but think about it carefully...... The strength of those gentlemen should not be considered the best in the old religion.
may not even be considered upper-class, but can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class or even middle-class gentleman.
This time, our position is not the home field, but the deep mountains and old forests, which are not suitable for us to fight.
When the old sect built a Dharma platform here, there must be a group of people who are familiar with this place, and they also know what the situation is around us and what means are most appropriate to use to clean us up.
"Hurry up!!"
Qin Bing's roar interrupted my thoughts, and when I came back to my senses, I looked down and saw that the speed of the giant monster's movement gradually became faster, basically about the same speed as a normal person walking.
"It doesn't seem to be familiar with this body yet....... Chen Qiuyan said in a low voice: "If you don't solve it quickly, Qin Bing and them will be in danger." ”
"How did that monster come out?" I asked.
"I don't know...... I got up very suddenly........" Chen Qiuyan frowned and said, "But before that...... I remember something flying out of the woods......."
"Something flying over?" I was stunned, and my heart suddenly lifted.
If what Chen Qiuyan said is reliable, then the reason why this group of corpses will cheat the corpses may be related to the thing that suddenly flew over.
"Yes, a black thing, I can't see what shape it is, it's too fast......." Chen Qiuyan said to me while recalling, and made a few gestures: "It's about the size of a fist, it's a black shadow." ”
"Where did it fall?" I asked tentatively.
"Right in the middle of that pile of corpses, on top of the pile of corpses, but I just looked at it and didn't find it." Chen Qiuyan frowned, and said with some distress: "I know what you are thinking, I have looked for it before, but I haven't seen it, it seems to have disappeared." ”
"It shouldn't go away, it could be ......."
As I spoke, I looked at the rat crouching at our feet, looking like a great enemy, and asked, "Do you see that thing?" ”
The rat heard me ask, looked up at me, and squeaked twice.
"Do you know where it is?" I asked again.
The rat shook his head directly, indicating that he didn't know.
"Does that thing smell?" I asked unhurriedly.
The rat didn't respond to me immediately, it looked at me with confused eyes, as if it was remembering, and after ten seconds or so, it nodded and squeaked twice, indicating that there was.
"If you remember the smell, look at the monster and smell it carefully." I whispered, "Try to tell where the smell is, and if you don't, shake your head." ”
This time, the rat was silent for a longer time, like a curious kitten, poking his head forward, looking at the moving monster very seriously, and his nose moved, he should be smelling.
After more than a minute, when the speed of the monster slowly increased, and became like the speed of a living person racing, the rat squeaked and screamed.
It stood on its hind legs, its two small paws constantly flapping its abdomen and making a squeaky sound.
"On the stomach?" I asked.
The rat shook his head and continued to pat, screaming a little anxiously, and rubbing his belly with his little paws.
"It says..... Could it be in the stomach? Chen Qiuyan asked tentatively.
"Squeak!!" The rat screamed excitedly, nodding his head incessantly.
"It's amazing, you can smell it in your stomach." I couldn't help but laugh.
The monster was made up of many corpses, and the corpses, except for the head, were all flesh and blood, and only bones remained.
Through the gaps in the bones, the smell of dead bodies is removed, in this case, given the squirrel's sense of smell, there is indeed a certain chance that it can be smelled.......
"What are you going to do?" Chen Qiuyan asked me, "Dig that thing out?" ”
I shook my head and said don't worry.
"Wait for me to refine a Gu first."
