Chapter 660: Blood Leeches in the Coffin
Hearing Wen Feng's cry for help, Wu Zhiyuan and Wen Qing hurriedly rushed to the opposite side of the coffin, and the two took a closer look, only to see Wen Feng lying on the ground, struggling on all fours, but other than that, it didn't look unusual. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Wen Qing hurriedly wanted to go over to help Wen Feng up, Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to hold her, and said vigilantly: "Don't go over, look at him." ”
Wen Qing looked at it and saw that Wen Feng's whole body was covered with white slime, and the ground under him was also full of slime, which may have caused him to fall to the ground.
Wen Feng struggled for a long time, got up several times and fell to the ground again, and finally Wen Qing reached out to help him up.
"Don't shout for help if you fall down in the future!" Wen Qing glanced at Wen Feng with a displeased expression.
"No, ...... just now" Wen Feng hurriedly explained, but Wen Qing didn't pay attention to him at all, but turned to look at the slime on the ground.
Wu Zhiyuan leaned over with a lantern in his hand, and the two squatted down to take a closer look. I saw that the mucus on the ground was more than the inner wall of the coffin, more viscous, and the smell of fish was stronger.
"You say, what could this mucus be?" Wen Qing looked at Wu Zhiyuan, wanting to hear his explanation.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't speak, but shook his head, as far as he knew, this smell was only found by fish in the river, and coincidentally, the surface of the fish's scales also had this similar mucus, but this place was a burial chamber, how could there be fish?
Wu Zhiyuan stood up and walked around the mucus area with a lantern, and found that the mucus area was roughly spindle-shaped, located under the coffin, facing away from the stone door. He wiped a little mucus with his finger and put it in front of his eyes to observe, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Senior sister, listen to me, ...... just now" Wen Feng came behind Wen Qing at this time, trying to explain what had just happened.
"Now don't say anything, wait obediently by the stone gate, don't make any more trouble." Wen Qing turned his head and said.
Wen Feng was in a hurry, and walked towards the stone door with a flick of his hand, he glared at Sheng Wanxiang who was standing next to the door, and squatted aside alone and sulked.
Wu Zhiyuan and Wen Qing stood next to the mucus area, wondering in their hearts what this mucus was and where did it come from? Except for the coffin, this is the only place where there is this kind of slime, and it can be guessed that the slime here comes from the coffin, and it should be something with this mucus that crawled out of the coffin silently, but why is there no other place? Could it be that after it climbed out of the coffin, it only moved around this one area?
Suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan thought of something, he suddenly raised his head to look overhead, but he was disappointed, there was a dome stone wall above his head, and there was nothing.
Just when Wu Zhiyuan and Wen Qing were at a loss, they suddenly heard Sheng Wanxiang exclaim: "Uncle, behind you!" ”
Wu Zhiyuan and Wen Qing turned to look at Sheng Wanxiang at the same time, only to see that she was stretching out her hand and pointing behind the old man who had been standing next to the coffin, and in the coffin behind the old man, there was a bulging and black thing faintly bulging at this time, because the light was too dim to distinguish what it was.
The old man was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that the shape of the bulging thing in the coffin suddenly changed and shrank into the coffin.
Wu Zhiyuan's eyes were quick, and he rushed to the coffin with a lantern, shining the lantern into the coffin, and at the same time looked inside, shocked by what he saw. He didn't quite believe what he was seeing, and it was actually in front of him, in this coffin.
"This ...... Could this be ......" Wen Qing's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the contents of the coffin, and his expression was frightened.
Inside the coffin, there was a fleshy thing, which was gray-brown all over, covered with black stripes, thin at both ends, thick in the middle, soft as boneless, lying at the bottom of the coffin like a puddle of mud.
"How is this possible?" Wu Zhiyuan stared at the contents of the coffin in disbelief, because he recognized that this thing was actually a leech!
Leeches are mostly born in the shallow water between rivers, and there are many species, among which there is a kind of blood leech that feeds on the blood of humans and animals, called blood leeches. Leeches can attach to humans and animals, bite through the skin of humans and animals, and suck blood. Leeches have a strong ability to survive, especially the eggs of leeches, even if they are exposed to the sun for several days, as long as they encounter water, they can survive immediately.
Leeches also have a layer of mucus on the surface, which does not look much different from the mucus in the coffin and on the ground, and also has a fishy smell.
If there are blood leeches in the tomb, Wu Zhiyuan can also understand it, but what he can't understand is how there is such a big blood leech here? And, it's still in this coffin.
Leeches crawl slowly, but silently. Presumably, it was in this coffin at first, silently dragging Wen Qing's uncle into the coffin, swallowing it alive into its abdomen, and then sucking the blood flowing out into its abdomen. When Wu Zhiyuan and the others checked the coffin, it happened to crawl from the coffin to the ground again. Wen Feng was dragged to the ground by the leech, and when he shouted, the leech crawled back into the coffin, so when Wu Zhiyuan and Wen Qing turned to the opposite side of the coffin, they didn't find anything.
"How can there be a leech in this coffin?" Wu Zhiyuan asked the old man, after all, he was the person concerned, and he might know a little bit about the inside story back then.
"I don't know." The old man replied with a wave of his hand. "I only know that the people of the Jiang family were poisoned by corpses, and all of them became zombies, and they were later cremated and buried here, and I don't know anything else."
Wu Zhiyuan looked at Wen Qing suspiciously, Wen Qing seemed to have found a more reasonable explanation: "Leeches have tenacious vitality, if the people of the Jiang family drank the water with leech eggs back then, then there are leeches in their bodies, even if the corpses are cremated, those blood leeches parasitic in the body can survive." ”
Wu Zhiyuan nodded, so many years have passed, and the truth can only be speculated, what the truth is, maybe it has long been lost in the flowing water of time.
"I was dragged down by this thing just now, even if the ground is slippery, with my ability, it is impossible to fall easily." Wen Feng took the opportunity to play at this time.
Wu Zhiyuan and Wen Qing ignored him, which made him look a little embarrassed, of course, this embarrassment finally came down to Wu Zhiyuan, which also deepened Wen Feng's prejudice against Wu Zhiyuan.
"What to do with it?" Wen Qing wanted to consult Wu Zhiyuan's opinion, the Laoshan faction was not good at dealing with this kind of anomaly.
"Although the leech is a disaster, it is not an evil thing, as long as we seal this tomb and prevent this leech from escaping, it will not pose a threat to the people in the town." Wu Zhiyuan explained, "The most threatening thing is the charcoal corpse. ”
"We've got rid of the charcoal corpses." Wen Qing smiled slightly.
"Then let's do it now and seal this tomb!" Wu Zhiyuan smiled, handed the lantern to Sheng Wanxiang, and began to look around for the slate, but the tomb was empty, where was the slate?
