Battle of Longchang Chapter 2 Flying Centipede
Yuan Mei said coldly: "It seems that this is the place where Lei Yuhao and his corpses are abandoned, and the five hundred people who tied them should all be here." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "Is it necessary for Lei Yuhao to go to great lengths to transport the body here?" And that slate doesn't seem to have been touched for years, but the tethered pillar hasn't even been the first seven, how did it come down? ”
"With such a neat stack of corpses, I think there must be something different here, this tunnel is so huge, I'm afraid that the entire Longchang underground is empty, and there must be more than one entrance." ”
The second master said to himself on the side: "If you kill someone, you will kill someone, what does it mean to strip off your clothes?" Lei Yuhao: What's the use of them in military uniforms? ”
"You're wrong, they don't want clothes, you see. Yuan Mei said and took a small step forward, stopping in front of the leash, under the reflection of her torch, the huge red symbol on the chest of the tether pillar was particularly obvious, this symbol was somewhat similar to the kind of charm drawn by Uncle Jiu on the yellow paper, and it seemed that it might also be a kind of charm.
"This is a corpse fixing spell, and according to legend, Xiangxi corpse chasers often use this kind of charm, which is used to slow down the time for corpses to decay. ”
"This head is smashed, what's the difference between rotting and not rotting?" ”
"I think that's why Lei Yuhao has to count the days every time he kills, the right day, the hour, and the special location here will make the talisman have an unexpected effect, but I don't understand what use these corpse talismans will be. ”
"Then they won't get up, will they?" The second master asked a little nervously, hearing him say this, my heart was also beating up and down.
"I don't know, but this corpse talisman wasn't drawn to raise corpses. ”
"Why don't you get them to get up and draw this?" Why don't we go back and find another way. "I agree with the words of the second master, looking at the corpse of Bai Huahua in front of me and the scarlet charm on their bodies, the goosebumps on their bodies have never gone down.
"It's the same when you go back, Jingmen is already the best choice you can do, and who knows what traps there will be in the other caves." Yuanmei said categorically.
Seeing that she was so determined, there was no room for negotiation, so she had to light another torch, one for each person, and slowly walked forward, still led by the second master, but he just took the first step, but stood still, Yuanmei was blocked tightly in the back, and couldn't see anything, so she had to ask softly, "What's wrong?" ”
"How do I feel like the dead body just blinked. His voice trembled a little at the moment.
I had a vague premonition that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Go back first, see it clearly, and then leave." ”
The team as a whole took a few steps back, and the three of them huddled together, silently looking at the dead corpses, and suddenly I found that there was a dead corpse that seemed to really wink at me, and the hairs on my body suddenly stood up one by one, and then the second master shouted: "That, look at that." ”
The dead corpse he was referring to actually slowly opened its mouth, as if sighing, opened it for a while and slowly closed it, and within a few minutes of closing, the dead corpse's eyelids seemed to cramp, and kept shaking, and at the same time, the sound of the rope just heard sounded in his ears.
Such a slight sound was amplified several times in the tunnel, and the people who listened to it were numb in their scalps, and no one dared to speak, they were all looking for the source of the sound, but the sound was ethereal, far and near, and the more I listened, the more I realized that this movement was coming from the corpse.
Yuanmei stretched out her hand and pointed at the corpse of the tethered pillar, we looked along her fingers, only to see that the mouth of the tethered pillar also slowly opened, and after a while, a black-headed centipede with the length of a palm jumped out of it.
After the black-headed centipede came out, the thief sniffed everywhere, and learned that Suosuo climbed up the belly of the tethered post, and two rows of dense thin pointed feet knocked on the belly and made a gurgling sound, which was so real to hear that it seemed to be close to the ear.
To be honest, I'm most afraid of this thing in my life, but I can't say I'm afraid, but as long as I see this thing, I feel uncomfortable, and all I usually see are red-headed centipedes, and this black-headed one is still the first time, plus I don't know if human flesh is too nutritious, it can grow so long, I feel tense when I see it, and I don't dare to move.
The black-headed centipede crawled to the chest of the tethered pillar, and began to arch down with its black head, while gnawing on its huge chelicerae kept gnawing, only a few bites, and the skin broke a small hole, just the size of which allowed it to enter and exit, and then it dragged its long body, and drilled into it, and after a while, I heard a long hoarse breath coming from the throat of the tethered post.
I obviously felt that the second master on the side shuddered, and asked Yuanmei without looking back: "Commander Li, this, this thing, does it bite?" ”
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it, but judging from the fact that I'm naked, this thing probably can't penetrate the clothes, and everyone has pierced the cuffs and cuffs of their pants." ”
When the second master and I heard the sound, we hurriedly threw the torch to the side, hurriedly tied the cuff of our trousers, and then stuffed it into our socks.
Yuanmei is much more convenient than us, she was originally out to save people, wearing tights similar to night clothes, and there is a shirt in the sleeve that is torn off.
After packing up, we looked at Yuanmei with a pretended calm look, she looked at us, didn't say a word, and took the lead in striding forward.
It's not because the second master is timid, but because of the experience of this way, things like snakes, insects, rats and ants will react a little slower and a half-beat, which means that the people who go behind are the most dangerous.
We followed, wide-eyed, searching around for the black-headed centipede, fortunately, maybe these things were not of much interest to the living, except for swimming back and forth on the dead corpses, and did not pay attention to us, but even so, it was the first time that I had such close contact with the centipede, and my legs began to tremble slightly.
Further on, the road became narrower and narrower, and the three people turned sideways, holding torches, and moved forward step by step from the gaps in the mountains of corpses, and at this time they could clearly hear the sound of black-headed centipedes burrowing in the corpses, watching them keep coming and going from their ears, noses, eyes and mouths, followed by a strong stench, choking people's tears.
The three of them held their breath and didn't dare to breathe, although at present, this centipede is really not interested in us, but in front of and behind them, lying full of dead corpses, on the way forward, they stretched out an arm or leg from time to time, and the dead corpses were disturbed by this centipede and kept opening their eyes and closing their mouths, how could it not make people tremble.
I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, but Yuanmei in front of me suddenly stopped and whispered, "Listen." ”
Although she knew that she had a reason, she still complained in her heart, Commander Li, you can't wait until the past to listen to it, why don't you leave at this juncture?
At this time, there was a buzzing sound in my ears, as if a huge bee flew overhead. The second master also urged behind: "Let's go, I'm choking." ”
Before the words fell, Yuanmei had begun to move forward, moving faster and faster, because it was walking sideways, she couldn't run, she jumped forward one by one, experience told me that the big fly just now was probably not ordinary, so she also stepped up her pace, and followed step by step.
And this pile of corpses seems to have no end, jumping for a long time, but there is no end, I am full of anxiety here, but the second master said in the back: "Hey, what is it?" What a big fly. ”
"Don't look, that's not a fly, let's go!" Yuanmei's voice was full of anxiety and fear, and the second master also heard the strangeness in his words, closed his mouth and followed behind like a crab, jumping forward with his teeth and claws.
I jumped so fast that I didn't even know that my pants were holding the hand of a dead corpse, and when I jumped up, my pants tightened, and I screamed in my heart: It's broken!
At the same time, I feel that the corpse pile next to it is shaking, and the top one is crumbling to fall, this nearly 100-meter-long corpse pile is all criss-crossed and piled up, as long as it collapses, I am afraid that the front and back will collapse in chains, at this time, the front is not visible, the back is not seen, if it really collapses, we all have to be buried, I would rather let Lei Yuhao die with a hammer than be buried in this foul-smelling corpse pile, and let the black-headed centipede drill around me.
But things are always afraid of something, I watched the corpse pile around me shake for a while, a corpse slipped from above, and went straight to the second master, the second master lost his eyes quickly, lowered his body, and rushed forward, just ran from under it, and the corpse fell on the opposite corpse pile impartially, and brought down two corpses, and then a series of reactions occurred, only to hear the continuous sound of the corpse pile collapsing behind him, Yuanmei wanted to stop and see what was happening behind, I pushed her and shouted: "Go away!" The back collapsed! ”
Hearing this, she hurriedly jumped forward, and jumped about a dozen steps, she suddenly changed her body, and began to run wildly, and I saw that victory was in sight, and increased the speed of my feet, and just like that, the three of them jumped out of the pile of corpses, and behind them was a mess.
I ran more than ten meters behind Yuanmei, stopped my feet, and gasped for breath, while the second master ran closer, ripped off the mask on his face, and shouted: "Don't stop, catch up." ”
We didn't know why we used the torch to shine backwards, only to see that from the collapsed corpse pile, a black-headed centipede came out of the black press, straight to us, Yuan Mei and I also ripped off the mask on our faces, chased after the second master, and there was a buzzing sound on the top of my head, I asked Yuan Mei while running: "What the is this?" ”
"Flying centipede, hurry! ”
Flying centipedes? And flying centipedes? This thing doesn't usually climb slowly, but with wings, how fast is that? Thinking about the thing that was drilling in and out of the corpse, it was coiling on the top of its head at this time, and it was like a whirlwind under its feet, and it instantly surpassed Yuanmei, and she seemed to run desperately forward.
In order to delay time, the second master threw the torch behind him, and I felt the fire flashing behind my head, and it was immediately extinguished, followed by a fishy smell of burning rotting corpses permeating the entire tunnel.
I was still running wildly regardless of it, and the second master behind me shouted pantingly: "Don't, don't, don't run, no, no." ”
I heard it was gone, so I hurriedly stood on my feet, and looked back, sure enough, except for the second master and Yuanmei, who were holding on to the wall and panting, sweating profusely, everything was quiet, and even the flying centipedes on the top of my head disappeared, and I felt that my legs were weak, and I couldn't support it and sat on the ground.
