Chapter 21: Human Corpses

I saw that a few of them were surrounding the mass and didn't know what they were stirring up, so I went up too. When I looked at it, I felt a chill in my heart, and the true face of the mass was completely revealed before my eyes.

It was a person with only the upper body, his legs were cut off from the thighs, and the whole body was in a state of "skin and bones" from head to waist, it seemed that the flesh on the body was hollowed out, and only one skin was left to wrap the bones, especially on the face, the skin seemed to be directly attached to the skull, and it was wrinkled, and there were only two black eye holes left in the eyes, so the whole face looked very hideous and twisted, and the whole body had been twisted and twisted from the steps of more than ten meters, and it was almost about to fall apart. It looks even more intimidating.

The monkey looked at it and only smacked: "Damn, what the hell is this thing, is it a human or a ghost?" I wanted to ask the same question, so I looked at Lao Zhao, who kept shaking his head, and it didn't seem clear.

But Kuroko kept looking at the mass in a daze, as if he had thought of something. For a while, several people didn't speak, they just stared at this pile of things that were not human and ghostly.

I picked up the torch and moved closer to it, trying to make sure it was male or female, and the light of the torch illuminated every part of its body, and its skin was very dark and shiny in the flickering firelight.

When I moved the torch to its face, I suddenly seemed to see its skin jump, which startled me, and I immediately called some of them to come and see if I was dazzled, and they were surprised to hear that the skin of the thing was moving, and they all came to see it.

At this moment, the skin of the face jumped again, and several of us trembled almost at the same time, "This thing's face is indeed moving, is it still alive?" The monkey shouted, and then I noticed that not only its face was moving, but the skin of its arms, belly, chest, and even its entire body was throbbing, and on closer inspection, it seemed that something was squirming inside its skin.

Several of us were dumbfounded for a while, I didn't know what was going on, then I glanced at Lao Zhao and the monkey, their expressions were the same as mine, they were all surprised, I looked at the sunspot again, I saw the sunspot's face showed a very frightened expression, I was about to ask the sunspot if he knew what was going on, only to hear him suddenly shout: "Quickly burn with fire!" Before a few of us could react, Kuroko had already thrown the torch in his hand on the pile of things, and the pile of things burned directly as soon as they caught fire.

We immediately took a few steps back, and the monkey shouted as he retreated, "Damn, what's the matter, and I will light it without giving us a little time to react!" Kuroko didn't reply, just watched the fire he lit, and the frightened expression on his face didn't fade at all.

I knew that Kuroko must know something, otherwise how could he be scared like this with his character of not being afraid of heaven and earth. So I walked up to Kuroko and asked, "I said Brother Kuroko, what the hell is going on?" Kuroko sighed, and then said in a trembling voice: "We have encountered a 'human corpse'!" ”。

We don't know what the "human corpse" is that Kuroko is talking about, I've only seen zombies and dried corpses in movies and novels, and I haven't heard of human corpses, I took another look at Lao Zhao and the monkey, and they have been staring at Kuroko, and I don't think they know.

Kuroko continued: "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that we are not afraid of anything in tomb robbery, and we are afraid of one thing, that is, human corpses, not to mention that we encountered human corpses in the tomb, as long as a little trace of human corpses is found, whether it is a treasure stolen or not, you can throw it away Don't worry about it anymore, just remember a child 'escape!'" ’”

The monkey was surprised and said, "Huh? Escape? Is this thing so scary? "I also think what Kuroko said is a little scary, Kuroko continued: "I heard my grandfather say that this human corpse is raised by people, first cut off a person's legs from the thighs, and then pour a poisonous insect called 'water absorption Gu' into the human body,' Water absorbing Gu', as the name suggests, is a very hungry for water insects, as soon as it touches water or things with water, it will desperately suck, this poisonous insect takes the human body as the host, and will quickly multiply after entering the body, and then suck up all the water in the human body, including the skin, to know that the water content in a normal person's body accounts for about 70% of the body weight, and after it absorbs the water, people are only left with a bunch of skin and bones! When the human body reaches the state of skin and bones, the body's There are at least millions of water-absorbing Gu', at this time, a large number of water-absorbing Gu can already control the pile of skin and bones to move around, and people will become human corpses, and water-absorbing Gu control zhì human corpses are looking for new water sources everywhere, if the water-absorbing Gu reaches a certain period of time and there is no water source to suck, it will enter a dormant state, and the dormant time can be as long as hundreds or even thousands of years, the water-absorbing Gu has a very sensitive sense of smell, once it smells that a water source is near, it will immediately wake up, and control the human corpse to obtain water. ”

A few of us only felt furious when we heard this, and the monkey asked, "Before that, we saw that something seemed to be wriggling in the body of that human corpse, could it be that the water-absorbing Gu you said had begun to wake up?" ”

Heizi nodded, sighed and said: "Yes, this water-absorbing Gu must have smelled the smell of water on our body, so it began to wake up, if I light the fire one step later, when all the water-absorbing Gu wake up, I'm afraid I won't be able to burn it for a while and a half if I want to burn it!" ”

After hearing this, the monkey touched his forehead and said: "Oh, my mother, fortunately, you reacted quickly and recognized that the pile of skin and bones was a human corpse containing a belly of water-absorbing Gu, if it weren't for your fire, I am afraid that a few of us would have become the water source of the water-absorbing Gu and also turned into four human corpses!" ”

After listening to the monkey's words, I also felt very afraid, if it weren't for the sunspot, we might not even know how we died. I asked Kuroko again: "I said Brother Kuroko, why do you say that you want to raise human corpses in here, and why do you want to cut off people's legs and then pour the water-absorbing Gu into their bodies!" ”

Kuroko said: "Keeping human corpses in the tomb can not only keep the environment in the tomb dry and protect against moisture, but also kill foreign living creatures, including us tomb robbers!" After the legs of this human corpse are cut off from the thighs, they will rely on their hands and two thighs that are only half cut off after being controlled by the water absorption, at this time they run on all fours like felines, and the speed of movement is very fast, almost reaching the speed of a leopard, so that all foreign living creatures will be spared, so as to achieve the purpose of ensuring that the tomb is not destroyed! ”
