Chapter 229: Blood Sacrifice

In order to avoid the invisible "crystal trembling" that kills people in the "Great Thunder Sky Thunder Mountain", I pushed away the countless dried corpses piled up under the sky beam, used them as stepping stones, and walked towards the road leading to the altar layer by layer. Second, I am worried that the thickness of the dried corpses is not enough to offset the "crystal tremor", and I am afraid that the dry corpses are not strong, and people can't help passing by above, and they will step on them and collapse.

But later, the desire to survive overwhelmed everything, and there were no so many scruples at all, except for Ah Xiang's physical strength, and he was missing a right hand, the rest of the people all threw off their arms and played with their lives to carry the corpses, even Uncle Ming didn't care about being smart, he really sold his strength, because everyone knew that this road paved with dried corpses was the only way to return to the world from hell, and many dried corpses may have been completely dehydrated after death after the special treatment of the shaman of Evil Luo Hai City, so it is not heavy, even if it is, The four of us were still tired and sweating profusely.

It didn't take much time, the dried corpses had already been piled up not far from the entrance of the altar hole, and seeing that dozens of corpses could be moved, the last section of the road could be paved, and I was happy in my heart, if it weren't for the fact that these dried corpses that had their eyes gouged out for sacrifices had just been thrown under the beam, and there were so many of them, it would be so easy for us to get out of the water, not to be trapped alive in the water, but also to let the ghosts in this ore shatter to pieces.

But as the so-called disaster does not go alone, the fat man and Uncle Ming hooked the corpse with a mountaineering pickaxe under the sky beam and passed it on. Shirley Yang and I piled up the dried corpses they handed over to the front, and everyone was busy with themselves, when they suddenly heard a strange movement above their heads, and everyone was stunned when they heard the sound, it sounded like it was caused by some kind of force squeezing in the crystal, but in the darkness they couldn't see what kind of situation it was above, only listening to the dense squeezing and shattering sound in the crystal veins above their heads, like a sound invisible dragon, from west to east, sliding abruptly, and the surrounding spars were buzzing and trembling.

The crystals in the cave don't feel anything if you stand next to them and look at them, but the crystal pillars that grow horizontally on the top are not conical and edged. The countless crystal veins are like clusters of sharp sword halberds hanging upside down overhead, once they fall, coupled with its own weight, it is tantamount to a heavy sword giant spear cut down in the air, and when they hear the huge cracking sound of the crystal veins above their heads, they can't help but put themselves in danger.

Just after such a stunned effort, everyone saw a flower in front of them, only to see a natural crystal pillar falling down like a meteor more than ten meters away, and a natural crystal pillar that fell from the dome recovered its crystal luster. With a whimper that pierced the air, the sharp crystal cone fell straight into the ground, and after a loud bang, the crystal's luminous glow was swallowed up by darkness again.

The sound of the crystal cone falling to the ground brought us back to our senses from the shocked state, and the muffled thunder sound that the "Great Black Sky Strikes Thunder Mountain" had been continuously emitting before, was accumulating the crystal trembling energy in the crystal, and the crystal layer in the altar cave was already overwhelmed at this time. It began to shatter and crack, and the dense crystal cones would continue to fall, except for hiding in the belly of the jade mountain, there was no place outside that was safe, but if there was no dry corpse underneath, if you stepped outside, you would die.

At this time, it is not to dodge, not to dodge, out of human instinct, it must be to run and dodge, but those falling ice picks have no rules at all, if you don't run, you can run into the muzzle of the gun, and it is impossible to see clearly and then dodge, the sharp crystals are like meteor lightning, and the speed is too fast.

After the first crystal cone broke away from the crystal vein above, and then in the darkness overhead, there was another cold light flickering, and several star-like cold lights fell, some of which were far away from us, but one of them just appeared above the fat man's head, I just saw it, but before I could call him to dodge, the white light whistled with a "woo". fell in front of the fat man, the pile of dried corpses at the feet of the fat man, could not bear the size of half a tabletop, thin and sharp like a guillotine a piece of crystal, sharp crystal stones, fell on the pile of corpses without even stopping, silently through the corpse, submerged into the pile of dried corpses and disappeared.

But I saw that there seemed to be something missing on the fat man's face on the other side, how could the smile be so twisted, but I didn't see it for a while, seeing that he was fine, I was about to turn around and call Shirley Yang to dodge, only to suddenly find that something was wrong, the tip of the fat man's nose suddenly turned red, oozing some blood, and then the blood gushed like a spring, more and more, the nose was cut off a large piece of flesh by the brush, fortunately, the corpse pile was tilted, he also leaned forward in order to maintain balance, if you press this angle on the flat ground, the stomach also has to cut off a part, At this time, he was afraid that he had already disemboweled, and he didn't feel any pain at all, until he found blood gushing out, he didn't know that his nose was injured, and he yelled and rolled to the pile of dried corpses at the lower level, and smashed Uncle Ming behind him.

I wanted to rush over to help, just took half a step, and then there was a multi-prismatic crystal falling in front of me less than half a meter away, the four-layer dried corpse on the beam was nailed into a rock sugar gourd, and the back half of the four or five meters long cone tail blocked, the thunder above the head became tighter and tighter, and the crystal pendant was also increasing, fortunately, this cave is wide, the depth is huge, and the crystal pendant is not limited to a specific area, scattered everywhere from east to west, without any rules, although the danger is full of dangers, but I found that its aura is concentrated in the place where the crystal pendant is about to fall, The crystal veins there will rattle and rattle continuously, as long as you stabilize your mind, you will not have nowhere to dodge, but I know that this is only a sporadic warm-up at the beginning, and if this trend continues, there will be a situation like ten thousand arrows shooting later, and there will be no place on the ground.

I saw the fat man who fell to the lower corpse pile crawling up with his face covered with blood, covering his nose with his hand and scolding endlessly, complaining that he had broken the blessing that could be developed in the future, I hurriedly called Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang, and asked them to find some turtle shells from the fat man's backpack to help him coat them, the effect of that thing to stop bleeding was very good, Uncle Ming didn't dare to be smart anymore, and pulled Ah Xiang and the fat man to hide in the dead corner under the sky beam, and wrapped the fat man's wounds.

I saw that the place where they were hiding was quite good, so I wanted to beckon Shirley Yang to go over and take shelter for a while, and Shirley Yang saw that the crystal clusters in the cave tightened suddenly. Once a larger crystal layer collapses, not to mention the pile of dried corpses under the heavenly beam, even the inside of the jade mountain is not safe, so the only way to immediately put the "phoenix gall" and the "crystal eye" with the memory of the ghost mother to the altar to prevent the "Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain" from continuing to collapse.

At this time, there was no time to carefully divide it, Shirley Yang's location was already very close to the altar pool, and she had to take a risk. I threw the carrying bag containing the sacrificial vessels over, and after Shirley Yang caught it, he pushed a few dried corpses nearby to the front, which was only ten meters away from the two eye-socket-like pools, I thought she wanted to throw the eyeballs directly into the altar there, but the area of the two pools is very small, they are all naturally formed, and the dragon marrow in Feng Shui is also those waters, and the life and death of each branch of the dragon veins are also from it, although I believe that Shirley Yang will not take unnecessary risks, and it must be certain to do so, But after all, I had to sweat for her.

Shirley Yang didn't do it directly at such a distance, obviously not completely sure, first used a wolf's eye flashlight to illuminate the direction of the pool, and then poured several dried corpses forward, at this moment a crystal that fell from her head fell, smashing a stone figure close to her, and crystal dust debris splashed. The crystal stone fell to the beam, and the stone man staggered and collapsed to the ground, blocking Shirley Yang's way on.

I was completely oblivious to the danger of falling crystals around me, and watched Shirley Young's every move with great nervousness. I saw her staring at the pool through the stone man, her back fell together, as if she had taken a few deep breaths, and in the dense thunder on the top of the cave, Shirley Yang was also engrossed, and threw the "phoenix gall" and "crystal eye" into the pool according to the corresponding position prompted in the mural ceremony, "phoenix gall" and "ghost eye" respectively represent the two energies of the world in the ghost cave, and the two eye-socket-shaped pools in the dragon pill are the intersection of the theory of yin and yang life and death in "the unity of heaven and man". That is, the intersection of the so-called "cosmic holographic theory" and Xuan and the arc, the yin and yang life and death qi at the end of the dragon vein are gathered here like two whirlpools, and the opposite energy can actualize the matter in the ghost cave, so that it truly stays in our world, which is equivalent to cutting off the channel with the imaginary space where the ghost cave is located, and the curse behind it is suspended, and the heme will not be gradually sucked by the ghost cave, but the brand as a sacrifice in the ghost cave will not disappear until death.

Do the secrets of these ancient religions, most of which are difficult to understand, coupled with speculation, really work? I witnessed Shirley Yang finally put the "Phoenix Gall" and "Ghost Eye" into the pool, but I didn't feel any relief and relaxation, there was an indescribable sense of loss in my heart, we have paid too much price for this moment, Shirley Yang looked back at me, probably because he was too nervous just now, his body was a little trembling, and at this time, the black gas surging in the crystal layer of the cave was gradually subsiding, and the indifferent fluorescence began to recover nearby, and the crystal layer no longer vibrate, But there are still a lot of crystal cones that may fall, hanging slightly in high places.

Suddenly turning quiet from the dense sound, I was still a little uncomfortable, wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and said to Shirley Yang, "It's finally over?" We finally persevered to the end, survived the darkness before dawn, poured half a lifetime of mold, and saw the dawn of victory. ”

Shirley Yang's face always had a melancholy look, and at this time it was also dissipating like the black gas in the crystal layer, although the flickering tears swirled in his eyes, but it was a kind of relieved tears: "Well, I finally got through it, thank God for letting me know you, otherwise I really can't imagine how to face all this, now it's time for us to think about going home......"

Halfway through the words, I was interrupted by the sound of gunfire under the beam, and in the sound of the rifle shooting, there was also the shouts of the fat man and Uncle Ming, I secretly screamed bitterly in my heart, and Y Yang's face also changed, not good, is it a mistake in the way of sacrifice? What's the change?

We didn't care about it anymore, pulled out the gun in hand, at this time there was no need to deliberately step on the corpse, Xun Sheng rushed to the corpse pile under the beam, just when he ran to the side of the corpse pile, Leng Buding felt that something was wrong, there was a cloud of ice chips as transparent on the black and purple corpse pile quickly jumped over, like a transparent crystal suddenly had life, and thought it was the eyes glazed, but after a closer look, there was indeed a transparent thing, approaching us at a very fast speed, what shape it was not clear at all. I could only see a long and flat silhouette, moving very fast, and I immediately raised the M1911 and fired a shot at it, but after the gunshot, nothing was left on the pile of dried corpses, and the ghostly thing was gone in the blink of an eye.

Shirley Yang and I asked each other in unison, "What was the thing that appeared in front of you just now?" Then I suddenly felt a slight noise behind me, and before I could look back, I fell to the ground. I only felt that the back shoulder was scratched by a bunch of blades at the same time, a piece of my clothes was hung up, and there was a flower in front of me, a blurry and transparent thing, galloping from back to front, and it could still be seen on the dried corpse, but once it entered the vicinity of the crystal, it evaporated and disappeared, and there was no sound.

That kind of vague and transparent thing, moving very fast, and not only one, but also two or three appeared on the side, because it was difficult to see clearly, it was difficult to aim, and the bullets were limited, so I was not sure that I could not shoot easily, so I had to retreat back now. It may be possible to capture the target on a roof beam with narrow terrain.

Shirley Yang and I retreated back to the altar hole at the end of the stone stem, at this time the gunfire on the fat man and Uncle Ming's side stopped, I don't know what they missed, but here I can't get out, my heart is getting more and more anxious, Shirley Yang suddenly said to me to shoot at the top of the head.

It turned out that at this time there were already more than a dozen transparent and blurred objects, followed us to climb up the beam, and saw that the shape was both like a snake and a fish, I immediately remembered and understood Shirley Yang's intention to let me shoot upward, I didn't dare to slack off, raised the gun to shoot at the crystal veins in the air, the impact of the bullet made a few hexagonal crystal pillars that had been loosened smashed down, snapped a few heavy crystal impacts, only a few large pieces of dirty blood flowed on the ground, and still couldn't see what it was, and these shots didn't matter, causing a chain reaction, A large number of crystal stones fell at the center of the passage, blocking the way back.

But I can't take care of these now, I heard the fat man beckoning me below, I agreed, and saw that there was no movement left and right, so we found a way to go around to the bottom, and saw that the fat man had tape on his nose, and the large blood stains on his face had not yet dried, and Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang were also there.

The fat man and the others were in a similar situation to me, but because Ah Xiang saw it in advance, he was able to find out in advance, and he didn't expect them to shoot this time, but he saved my life and Shirley Yang's life, because we were defenseless, and just now it happened suddenly, and I didn't feel anything, now I think about it, it's really a fluke, the wind and waves are coming, and I almost capsized in the gutter, but what are those things?

The fat man's nose was touched, and he buzzed as he spoke, pointing to a cloud of flesh and blood, and he shot and shoveled a few of them, as if something...... The fish said and kicked the thing: "But it's a human, do you see if it's a man or a fish?" ”

I heard strangely, "Like a man and like a fish?" It's either a strange fish or a strange person, or a mermaid, how does this thing look so blurry and transparent? "With a lot of questions, I squatted down to look at the fat man shot to death, because the whole body is blood, you can already see its size, that thing is more than a meter long, the head is flat, I don't know if it was slapped by the fat man or born like that, its body is thick in the middle, the tail is slender, the whole body is ice crystal-like transparent scales, it can also emit a dim night light, if it is not the whole body is blood, in this strange light cave, it is impossible to see its appearance at all, touch those ice scales with your hand, your fingers are immediately cut, Sharper than a blade, it had no legs, two things that resembled fish fins, but they looked like two human arms, and hands, which were born no different from human hands, but the proportions were so small that even the length of the arms was the size of a normal person's palm.

I carefully looked at it several times, and said to everyone: "This thing looks a little like a baby fish, is it possible to be the kind of amphibious silver doll that goes out of the light, the legend is that kind of thing is indeed the difference between the lights out, very rare, the size is similar to that of ordinary babies, specializing in eating small snakes and shrimps, the powerful dignitaries of the year, often like to raise a live in the jasper glass basin, the lights in the house are extinguished at night, only to see the rarity, it can really show a pass, than a night pearl is more generous, but it does not last long, and can live for dozens of days at most after being caught, And after death, there is a lot of resentment, if there is no thing in the town, ordinary people do not dare to raise it at home, but I have never heard that that kind of thing will directly hurt people. ”

Shirley Yang shook his head and said it wasn't quite like that, and used the "paratrooper knife" to pry open the big mouth of the thing, and we suddenly gasped when we saw it, this guy has no tongue in his mouth, his mouth is full of inverted bones, and hundreds of dense meat suckers, it seems that this thing lives by sucking sperm and blood.

Shirley Young said that maybe the bodies of the slaves who were used as sacrifices were sucked dry by these guys after their eyes were cut off, and it was not known if this blood sacrifice was also part of the ritual of sacrificing to the ghost cave......

At this time, Uncle Ming interjected: "This thing is indeed like a silver doll with lights out, I tossed two of them a few years ago, but they were both made into specimens, and then they were bought by an Indian, and I really haven't seen what it looks like in my mouth." ”

I looked up and said to Uncle Ming, "Uncle Ming, you didn't even take care of your life just now, it seems that we didn't help you in vain, your consciousness has improved, and I saw that at that moment your soul went from darkness to light." "After all, the big thing is over, I can't help relaxing, I was about to sarcastically say a few words to Uncle Ming, but before I finished speaking, I found that there was only a fat man left, and Shirley Yang around, and there was only one person missing, except for the trace of Ah Xiang, I quickly stood up and looked around, the dried corpses in this area have been moved to the sky beam, and many places have exposed the crystal layer below, and there is a long series of bloody footprints on the ground.
