Chapter Ninety-Six: The Living Blood
"Poof...... Burst...... Burst! ”
It was the panting, the gasp of that corpse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info After standing up stiffly, the nose seemed to be pierced by a tiny pinhole with countless holes, panting again and again, echoing again and again. The blood-red eyes were always buried in the skull, and the two pale fangs could only be faintly observed under the entire moonlight.
Its nose is always inhaling hard, and it doesn't know what strange smell it is smelling. Sticking out its long neck, it stumbled slowly towards the jungle, its terrifying eyes always fixed on the sand and gravel on the ground. In particular, the two twinkling bells hanging around its neck echoed through the space at the same time as the sound of its footsteps.
It is said that it is a terrible zombie, but it is more like a bloody living person. Zombies don't move, they only jump, and they not only walk, but they also observe, using their noses to sense all the traces of life around them. In addition, the body was also stained with layers of blood, revealing a cold and cold breath inside and out.
It stretched out its hands and dragged its torso into the grass with the flow of air.
At this time, the old ghost covered his nose and quietly rubbed under its body, walked very softly, and his waist was also bent, and he slipped away quietly from under the eyes of the bloody living man unconsciously.
The strange thing is that the bloody living man doesn't seem to see the old ghost, and his confused eyes are always on the ground, except for the nose constantly breathing deeply, smelling the smell coming from the surroundings, the limbs and body do not have a particularly big reaction.
The old ghost moved almost silently to its back, plucking up the courage to subconsciously glance back at the back of its head. Suddenly in a hurry, he shrank back, turned around, jumped up from the ground in a hurry and ran away.
At this moment, the torso of the bloody living person suddenly trembled, as if he sensed some living object in his nose. Immediately, he turned around and stretched out the old man's arm, grabbed the old ghost's vest, and pulled it back. "Shhh
The old ghost almost felt a heavy iron hook firmly locking his body behind him, even if he ran forward desperately, struggling back and forth, it was impossible to get rid of such a powerful force.
The bloody man pulled it to his crotch, lowered his head and sniffed it again with his nose, and his mouth kept gasping for air, as if he had sucked all the air into his stomach at once, and spewed out of both nostrils in an instant. However, when the air flow was exhaled, it had turned into a hot breath.
When the blood living realized in their minds that it was a person in front of them, they did not immediately take violent measures. Instead, he stretched out his hands very gently, picked up the old ghost at once, and hugged him in his arms, his expression had an indescribable feeling, in short, it was very numb.
The old ghost turned his face to look at it in confusion, and said in horror: "What are you going to do?" ”
The blood-dwelled man did not speak, nor could he speak. He stared at the old ghost with an expressionless face, one hand around his neck, the other around his knees, and as soon as he turned around, he led him all the way to the bottom of the big tree.
There happened to be a coffin under the big tree, and the lid of the coffin had been pried open a long time ago, and it was empty. The bloody man put the old ghost in the coffin.
At this time, the old ghost didn't dare to act rashly at all, and he didn't even dare to suppress the sound of breathing, so he turned his eyes and observed the next move.
After the bloody man put the old ghost inside, he jumped into the coffin himself. At the same time, he stretched out a hand to close the lid that had been lifted to the side, and although there was no change on the outside, it was already pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.
The coffin was already large enough to hold two or three people. After lying down, the bloody man fell asleep after a while, but there was no sound of snoring, no sound of breathing, and no sign of movement. When I slept this time, I was like a dead man, and I didn't roll my eyelids a bit.
The old ghost stayed in the coffin for about half an hour, sleeping with the bloody man. When he realized that he was no longer a threat, he tried to reach out with two hands to lift the lid of the coffin on top.
But when he stretched out his palm and touched the lid, he found that his palm was a little wet, and the lid was also soft. It was as if it was no longer the coffin lid, it was like touching a hot lump of meat, the sticky kind, which was disgusting. When the smell hits my nose, I feel like I want to vomit.
The old ghost could only pinch his nose, and the expression on his face was also very painful, but he didn't dare to speak loudly. For fear of angering the bloody living man sleeping on the side, he had to carefully push the coffin lid on the top while shrinking his body to the other side, leaving a few centimeters of space for the bloody living man.
At this moment, the old ghost's eyes lit up, and a gap the size of a pinhole instantly protruded from the top of the coffin. The narrow gap gradually widened with the orange light shining in from outside, and it seemed as if a faint force was pushing outside.
As soon as the coffin was lifted, the face of a little boy came in from outside, turning two bright and brilliant eyes, and asked in a confused way: "Old fox! How are you in this. ”
The old ghost was almost excited, as if he was looking forward to a rain in a big drought, and looked up at the little boy outside with his neck crossed, and said, "Ah, you came just in time, quickly pull the old man out, it's suffocating here, what a smell, it's stinky." ”
The little boy didn't think much of it, and immediately stretched out a small hand with fine skin and tender flesh, grabbed the old ghost's arm, and dragged him out of the coffin.
The old ghost immediately supported the sides of the coffin with both hands, straightened his upper body and jumped up from the coffin, moving his exaggerated legs and jumping out of the coffin.
The little boy went up and patted the dust off his body and asked, "Why are you in the coffin?" ”
The old ghost wiped the beads of sweat on his head and heart with his sleeve with a panicked face, and after a long sigh, he said: "It's a long story, the bloody living man is in the coffin, we have to find a way to burn it quickly, otherwise it will come out." ”
The little boy said, "They all ran away." The old ghost said: "Let's run away, it's useless to have many frightened birds, as long as the old man is still there, things will take a turn for the better." The little boy smiled and replied, "How could you?" The old ghost said, "What, how could I?" ”
The little boy didn't ask, he just smiled dryly, not knowing what he was laughing at. turned around and ran to the bottom of the coffin, stretching his neck and looking curiously at the bloody people inside.
The old ghost turned his head to look at his surroundings, only to find that the grass on the ground had turned yellow, and slowly began to wither, and had become a pile of dry dead grass.
The old ghost almost went up and slapped the little boy on the top of the head, and said, "Don't look at it, go find some hay and cover this coffin." When the time came, when the moonlight disappeared into the clouds, he burned the bloody man with a fire. ”
The little boy shook his neck impatiently and said, "I'm very tired now, I just want to quietly take a look at the face of this bloody living man, isn't this the monkey-faced ghost of the past?" Why did he die all of a sudden. ”
The old ghost sighed: "Okay, since you don't look for it, then I'll find it myself." ”
After the old ghost finished speaking, he ran into the jungle to collect weeds, some of which were dry and some of which were wet. The dry ones are dried by the moonlight, while the wet ones are the ones that the moonlight does not reach and are soaked with dew.
These grasses only grow on the docks, and everywhere else, let alone grass, not even a small tree can be seen, and the ground is scorched.
The main reason why patches of green grass grow in this place is because there is a thousand-year-old demon tree growing in the center of them, and this demon tree can grow green grass in a radius of dozens of miles as long as there is no water source.
However, these grasses are also very strange, generally speaking, ordinary grass will break when it is broken, and it will melt when it is burned. Weak and vulnerable. But even if the grass here is held with chainsaws, hammers, sabers, even with explosives, TNT, bazookas, these things together are devastating to this grass, it is only an egg hitting a stone, and it is not enough.
These grasses can not only grow so strong, but also have a very tenacious vitality: they do not fall when they are in the wind, and they do not wither in the fire. When it encounters water, it is not stained, and it is constantly when it encounters blades. In the event of floods, they do not sink, and they do not melt in the event of thunder. It can be said that it is invulnerable to all poisons and invulnerable. And the culprit is mainly the thousand-year-old demon tree in the center, which is like an evil terrifying force, completely covering the dry land, so that these creatures will live forever in this cruel world.
The old ghost also discovered this serious problem, he stretched out his hand, but the grass could not be pulled out, but a cut was made on his finger. With a knife, not only can it not be cut in half, but the handle of the knife in the palm of the palm is ejected a hundred meters away.
The old ghost almost gritted his teeth, stepped on the grass under his feet angrily, and scolded: "What kind of thing, you really treat yourself as an iron wall." ”
The little boy thought it was quite funny, so he immediately ran over and said with a smile, "We have dry firewood in the barracks, I'll go get some for you." ”
"What? Dry firewood in the barracks? Why didn't you say it earlier. But now it's too late, then the moon is about to set, we don't have much time, and in the daytime, when the blood of the bloody living person is completely dry, it will be meaningless to burn. ”
"Actually, there can be a better way, as long as there is a mirror, using the reflection of the western line illuminated by the moonlight, to directly shine on this grass, and spread dog blood and fire oil on it, and raise the temperature to a certain level, you can burn a raging fire."
After hearing this, the old ghost angrily went up and slapped the little boy, and curled his mouth and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I uneducated, or are you uneducated? ”
The little boy was instantly dizzy and fell to the ground, and after a while he got up again. He continued to look back at the moon in the sky with a smile on his face, and said, "Look, what is the difference between the moon and the sun when it is so hot." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his other hand and pointed to the meadow, and said, "You see, what is the difference between the green grass and gunpowder?" ”
The old ghost was no longer delivering goods at this time, and his mood suddenly calmed down. Reaching out and gently pinching his white beard, he replied in a deep voice, "Hmm! And then what? ”
The little boy said, "The sky is the fire of the sky, and the earth is the oil of the earth." Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! ”
The old ghost continued, "What do you mean? ”
The little boy said: "In the past, I found a large mirror made of rare materials in the corner of the courtyard of Master Zhang's house, with a length and width of more than three meters. These mirrors are rare on the market, and blacksmiths on the black market don't make them. Maybe it's not enough materials, or maybe it's too expensive. Because it can completely take a picture of the whole person's body, and it can be seen clearly in the mirror. Whether it's eyebrows or eyes, once they appear in the mirror, they will add a lot of bright colors to the original. I've come across this kind of mirror in a strange world before, it's big, it's wide, it's a hundred times more similar than the people in the painting, and I ......"
"Good! You close your mouth first, this kind of mirror has also been seen by the old man, the shape is peculiar, the luster is dazzling, it is indeed a priceless treasure. But do you have it with you now? The old ghost asked.
The little boy smiled, and pulled out a large, long, wide mirror from the inner bag of his clothes, which could completely cover almost half of his entire small body.
The old ghost was completely stunned when he saw it, and asked in a panic: "Such a big mirror, you are hiding it on your body?" ”
After the little boy took out the mirror, he threw it on the ground and said with a smile: "Of course, this mirror is valuable, and it can be exchanged for a lot of steamed buns on the black market, of course I have to carry it with me." ”
The old ghost looked left and right in panic, lowered his voice, and glared back, "Do you know this is theft?" And it's still stealing Lord Zhang's things, even if Lord Zhang doesn't find out, if others find out, you will be unlucky. ”
These words seemed to touch the little boy's heart, and the sweet color on his face suddenly disappeared. Pulling two curved eyebrows, he leaned down and squatted down to put the mirror back, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said coldly with his mouth and eyebrows: "Don't you want it?" You don't want to forget it. ”
After the old ghost saw it, he also hurriedly laughed, walked up slowly, and explained kindly: "Okay, okay, the old man knows about this today, and if someone asks you in the future, you will grit your teeth and say that you picked up this mirror." ”
At this time, the tendons on the little boy's face relaxed, and he stuffed the mirror in his hand into the old ghost's hand. Then he turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing such a move, the old ghost felt very uncomfortable, so he shouted at his back, "Where are you going?" ”
The little boy did not look back, nor did he open his mouth to reply, nor did he care about the old ghost's actions, and walked along the road leading to the town in front of him.
After the old ghost tried to dissuade him again and again, he sighed and shook his head in frustration. Looking at the mirror in his hand, he said to the air, "Huh? This mirror does not reflect in the moonlight, but it can illuminate the human face. It is indeed a rare treasure, this thing is rare and expensive, let alone him, even if the old man sees it, he is excited. ”
As soon as the old ghost finished speaking, a cold hand behind him gently patted him on the shoulder. The old ghost almost didn't think so, and thought it was the little boy's hand, so he took the opportunity to remove the hand, and replied casually: "Hey, don't make trouble, hurry up and find some dry firewood." ”
He had just pushed his hand away when another hand rested on his left shoulder. So the old ghost almost impatiently grabbed the hand, threw it aside, lowered his head and continued to stare at the mirror.
At this time, two cold hands suddenly put on the shoulders of the old ghost, and the strength was very heavy, as if a piece of Ding was pressed down, and there was a very desolate feeling.
The old ghost was almost stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the little boy had already disappeared before that, and the rest of the people had already fled in disgrace. There was no one else on the dock except for the old ghost himself.
The old ghost almost thought of this, and his face began to panic unconsciously. In the next second, he slowly twisted his neck, squinted at the faint afterglow, and his legs turned together. The gaze of the gaze slowly locked behind him.
A pungent smell of blood suddenly rushed to my face, and I could clearly hear the sound of deep breathing coming from my ears. The old ghost only reacted at this time, and the strange person behind him was the bloody living person who was lying in the coffin before, and he didn't know when the god mysteriously came out of the coffin. Just like that, he slipped quietly behind him.
The old ghost was almost in such a hurry and nervous moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of the weakness of the bloody living man. The mirror in his hand couldn't help but let go, "Bang! With a bang, the mirror smashed into the lawn and was shattered. The crisp sound echoed in my ears again and again.
The old ghost's body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't move, but slowly held his breath, his lips seemed to be stitched with a series of lines, and his chin was wrinkled and rippling.
The old ghost was so silent and motionless, he knew very well in his heart that the bloody living man could only rely on his sense of smell to capture the target, his eyes could not see everything around him at all, and he could not hear any sound in his ears.
Sure enough, the blood living man immediately let go of his hands, shook his head left and right, and sniffed everywhere with his nose. It seems that the goal has been lost in the mind, and it is not even known where the target is.
The old ghost almost saw that it had lost its bearings, so don't try to sneak away from under his body again. He held his breath and kept running away. The bloody living people were also looking left and right at the same time, and their mouths kept screaming, looking extremely angry.
The old ghost was relieved at this time, and slowly left from his back step by step. He walked farther and farther, and soon he was ten meters away.
The old ghost has been holding his breath at the moment, and the more uncomfortable his body is. When he felt that he was a little far away from the bloody living man, and there was no longer a threat, he opened his lips and took a deep breath.
But as soon as he opened his mouth to breathe, the bloody living man not far away immediately sensed his location, opened his loudest voice and roared, the voice was like a wolf, long, high-pitched, loud and loud.
The bloody man turned around, facing in the direction of the old ghost, and suddenly opened his legs and pounced on him. It didn't look like walking, it didn't look like running, it could only be described as crawling, or more appropriately with fluttering. The legs never touched the ground, the two hands quickly supported the ground, the body bent into an arched line, flashing back and forth, and in less than a second, the bloody living man pounced on the old ghost.
The old ghost was very panicked at this moment, and hurriedly held his breath again. At this moment, the bloody man quickly stopped moving forward, dragging his stiff and dry body to stand in place, still twisting his neck from side to side to look at it, looking up and down, his expression was also very terrifying.
The old ghost had no choice but to hold his breath all the time, quietly slipped away from behind him, and leaned over to the other end. It can be seen that his face has turned red, his lips have begun to darken faintly, his eyes have been closed in an arc, and the sweat on his forehead is constantly dripping onto his clothes.
The whole person was almost unable to hold it back, so he had to open his mouth again and take a deep breath. But as soon as he breathed, the bloody living man would immediately lock on to his position, like a zombie, constantly looking for the food he needed with the smell of life.
The old ghost saw that the bloody living man came again, and after a quick sigh of relief, he had to hold his breath, and his face had turned green.
The bloody man could not find the scent, so he turned and walked under the big tree.
The old ghost almost felt that he couldn't take it anymore, and if he was holding his breath, he might be about to suffocate. But at the same time, he also thought of a good idea, and immediately dragged the clothes off his body, quickly bit his fingers, smeared a stream of blood on the clothes, and then threw it to the other end and flew far away.
As soon as the bloody man smelled the fishy smell, he hurriedly turned around, quickly pounced on the clothes that had just been thrown into the air, jumped in the air, stretched out two sharp claws, and tore the clothes in half.
Then he lowered his head and squeezed out a long tongue from the two long fangs, constantly adding blood to the clothes, and his attention was concentrated up and down.
The old ghost immediately opened his mouth and breathed heavily, and at the same time turned and ran towards the path as fast as he could, not daring to look back, but relying on his vague hearing to determine whether the bloody man had caught up from behind.
When he ran for more than a dozen steps, he subconsciously turned around and looked at the movements of the bloody living man, and found that it was still under the big tree and kept feeding the blood stains left on the clothes with his tongue.
The old ghost was in a much better mood than before at this time, and immediately turned around and quickly ran to the previous town.
