Chapter 309: Broken Corpses Under the Mountain
When Wu Zhiyuan and Hua Gu heard Manniu's question, they suddenly felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.
"Probably not." Hua Gu pondered for a moment and speculated, "We are all from the Black Descending Gate, and naturally we know the key points of the corpse people best, so the corpse man is almost no threat to us, and refining a corpse requires a lot of energy, and it is impossible for Nantian Eagle to do such a useless work." ”
"What if the purpose of refining the corpse is not to use it against you, but to use it against others?" Wu Zhiyuan thought about it and suddenly thought of this.
Hua Gu nodded when she heard this, thought for a moment and replied: "This possibility is not very large, although the corpse man is not afraid of swords and guns, but it is always a mortal body, if it is burned or bombarded by cannons, it can naturally be restrained." Therefore, I think that the Southern Sky Eagle may not have set up corpses here for the purpose of harming people. ”
"What's the purpose of that? He's not going to be fed, is he? The bull's voice suddenly rose high.
"You mean, he probably doesn't want outsiders to get close here?" Wu Zhiyuan vaguely guessed the meaning of Hua Gu's words.
"Yes." Hua Gu nodded, "Or, he hid something near this White Horse Mountain, and he didn't want people from the outside world to see it." ”
"What can he hide in this place where the birds don't? Is it gold and silver treasures? The brute bull answered in a rough voice.
Wu Zhiyuan and Hua Gu didn't pay attention to the words of the brute, because this possibility is not great at all, the Nantian Eagle that Wu Zhiyuan understands is ruthless and ruthless, and has a strong desire for power, and has coveted the Blood Shadow Demon Knife of the Black Descending Gate and the treasure mirror of the Maoshan Sect and the Guiyuan True Scripture for a long time, although it is full of evil, but it is by no means like a person who is full of copper smell.
"If he is really hiding at the foot of Hakuba, I think there is only one place that is most suspicious." Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Where?" Hua Gu and Manniu asked in unison.
"I remember that Adjutant Wang, who escaped from here, said that there is a cave at the foot of this White Horse Mountain, and those corpses rushed out of the cave to attack them." Wu Zhiyuan said softly, "So that cave should be the most suspicious, we might as well start with that cave." ”
Speaking of which, the three of them looked around together, wanting to see if there was a cave at the foot of the mountain, but the nearby rocks were undulating, blocking the view, and the White Horse Mountain was very large, and the scope of the eye was very limited, so there was no cave to be seen at all.
"Damn, this mountain is so big, and the soldier didn't specify the location of the cave, where can we find it?" The brute bull scolded angrily.
"According to Adjutant Wang, the cave is at the foot of White Horse Mountain, so as long as we walk around the foot of the mountain, we will be able to see the cave sooner or later." Wu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
Hua Gu agreed with Wu Zhiyuan's point of view very much, and ignored the idea of the brute, and the two walked directly along the rugged stone road under the mountain.
After walking less than half a stick of incense, a strong smell of blood came to their faces, and the three of them raised their vigilance at the same time, lowered their steps and touched the general direction of the smell, and there was silence around them, and only the subtle "click" sound of the three people's feet stepping on the gravel could be heard.
The smell of blood came from behind a boulder not far away, Hua Gu gestured to Wu Zhiyuan and Manniu, signaling the two to outflank left and right, Wu Zhiyuan and Manniu nodded at the same time, and then went around the two ends of the boulder left and right.
Hua Gu lifted her breath violently, kicked her feet hard, and her figure floated up, and jumped onto the boulder that was as tall as one person, and after her body was stable, she squatted down and looked behind the boulder.
At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan and Manniu also went around to the back of the boulder from both ends, and the two of them saw the situation behind the boulder at the same time, Manniu did not react, and Wu Zhiyuan covered his mouth and vomited.
There was no corpse behind the boulder, only a dead body, and the disgusting thing was that the dead body had already been crushed with liver and gall, and the brain was flowing everywhere, and the boulder was sprayed with blood. Only from the fragments of clothing could be seen that it was an off-white military uniform, which was expected to be one of the people in the team brought by Adjutant Wang at that time.
Hua Gu and Manniu have been dealing with dead corpses all year round, so they have seen more disgusting and terrifying than this, so there is no reaction at this time.
The brute bull spat and walked around to the boulder and cursed to himself, while Hua Gu jumped down from the boulder and squatted on the dead body that had been changed beyond recognition to observe carefully.
"What's wrong?" After a long time, Wu Zhiyuan's stomach churned over the river and the sea gradually eased, and he still covered his mouth, for fear of being vomited out disgustingly.
"Look at the destruction of this corpse." Hua Gu pointed to the corpse's shattered head, as well as the almost hollowed out abdominal cavity, and the thighs of the lower body that were almost only left with leg bones.
"What's so strange about that? It's clearly the work of the corpses. Wu Zhiyuan replied disapprerovingly.
"It's not." Hua Gu shook her head, thoughtful.
"Isn't it?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at Hua Gu with a stunned expression, expecting to get an answer from her expression.
"It's not." Hua Gu continued, "Look at the corpse's stomach, the five organs are almost hollowed out, and the thighs, almost only the bones are left, obviously eaten. But once the corpse is successfully refined, they will no longer eat, and only need to feed the Gu poison every once in a while, they have amazing destructive power, but they will never gnaw the flesh on the corpse. ”
When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, his face suddenly showed confusion, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered a word: zombie! But on second thought, it could never be a zombie, because zombies only suck human blood, not eat human flesh, and besides, this corpse has obviously just died, and zombies cannot appear during the day.
"Could it be some beast?" The bull chimed in.
Hearing this, Hua Gu looked down at the corpse again, and said in a deep voice: "Looking at the bite marks on the corpse, it looks a bit like a beast, but this White Horse Mountain has few trees and is full of rocks, what beasts will wander here?" ”
Hearing Hua Gu's question, Wu Zhiyuan and Manniu both fell into deep thought, and both of them followed Hua Gu's question and pondered, what kind of beast would live in such a place?
At this moment, there was a sound of stones moving in the pile of rubbles not far away, and it could be judged from this sound alone that there was a living creature moving there.
Wu Zhiyuan Hua Gu and Manniu glanced at each other, Hua Gu and Manniu slowly pulled out the scimitar on their waists, Wu Zhiyuan clenched the peachwood sword in his hand, and the three of them dispersed again, walking towards the pile of rocks in a half-circle.
The sound of the stones moving sounded again, and it seemed that the things behind the rocks were not agile or agile enough to make such a loud noise.
Seeing that the three of them were about to walk to the pile of rocks, suddenly a huge black shadow came out from behind the pile of rocks, and the three of them jumped backwards in fright!
