Chapter 136: The Broken Monument
Lao Hai leaned on my back and asked quietly, "Captain, what is your brother holding in his hand, it looks like there is some fame on it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"How do I know, I didn't take it." I don't have a good airway.
The fawn leaned out from behind the rocks and motioned for us to follow cautiously. There was a big turn in the mountains ahead, and the uplifted slopes bisected the mountains on the east and west sides, forming a natural barrier where they disappeared.
We went around an area of the ridge bulge, and suddenly there was a huge broken slope in front of us, the slope was leaning against the mountain, its inclination was not large, on the slope, scattered small mounds of graves, as far as the eye could see, there were no less than a hundred, looking at the degree of damage of those stone tablets, it should be very old, some have broken and collapsed, and some have even disappeared.
We went closer to see, only to see that the words on the stele were all written in Mandarin script, and we couldn't understand it at all, and at first glance I thought it was a picture drawn by a kindergarten child.
"What about 'Uncle Li' and the others, why are they gone?" The fawn looked left and right.
I looked around, and I really didn't see those people, but there was no cover here, and it was impossible for us not to see a dozen people walking here, where did they go in just one minute?
Lao Hai stepped on a grave mound, and grinned: "'Uncle Li' they won't fight again, there are so many graves here, if it were me, I would also be red-eyed, not to mention any gold, silver and jade, even if an iron plate hairpin is fished up casually, it can be worth tens of thousands!" ā
Xiaolu looked at the surrounding graves, shook his head and said: "No, it is impossible for them to make a robbery hole in such a short time, and looking at the formation, this should be a mass grave left over from the Nanzhao period, or it may be a group burial area of a certain clan, you look at the words on these stone tablets, the third word is the same, so I guess this may be some kind of surname." ā
I found a few stone tablets at random, and sure enough, the third text on each one was a very complex pattern, and although the penmanship was different, the glyphs were all the same.
Xiaolu then said: "This kind of grave is generally from the homes of ordinary people, and there will be no burial goods, and 'Uncle Li' will definitely not go down to this kind of tomb." ā
Lao Hai nodded in agreement, and then said, "Then where did they go?" It's too weird to disappear like this for no reason! ā
I suddenly became a little nervous, and a terrible thought began to arise in my heart: these people are really ghosts. After all, among them I saw a person who looked exactly like me, and a young version of Uncle Li, which cannot be explained by science in any way.
After a short stalemate, the fawn pointed to the front of the canyon and said, "In any case, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's bypass these mounds first, and then talk about it when we get to the front." ā
At this moment, there was a slight sound all around, the sound was not loud at first, we didn't pay much attention to it, but after a while, the movement became louder and louder, and gradually came from all directions to us, I clearly heard the sound of thousands of insect feet disturbing on the ground, and the same situation as the last time I met in the yin and yang plank road, I couldn't help but feel nervous, this is the rhythm of the accident!
When I thought about it, I saw that holes the size of fingers suddenly appeared in the surrounding mounds, and the debris in them kept pouring out, as if a gopher was making holes.
"Wow, could it be that 'Uncle Li' and they have become smaller, this is a thief hole?" Lao Hai exclaimed.
As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled "bang" all around, and streams of dark red liquid instantly flowed out of those holes, which was extremely fast, and attacked us from all directions. When I looked at it, I was stunned, it wasn't some strange liquid, it was a pile of bugs!
The bugs were very small, about the size of a fly, dark red overall, and shaped a bit like spiders, but they had many more feet than spiders, and they were moving closer to the center in swarms, looking like a puddle of liquid running down from a distance.
"This ...... It's a fucking burnea! Lao Hai shouted.
"What is a burrowworm? Cannibalism? I asked.
Lao Hai slapped me on the head and scolded: "Aren't you talking nonsense, don't be stunned, run quickly!" ā
As he spoke, he pulled out his legs and ran into the canyon, the fawn reflexively fired a few shots, and found that they couldn't hit at all, those cavity were extremely flexible, and their speed was extremely agile, the speed of the bullets seemed to be infinitely slow down in their eyes, and wherever the bullet marks went, there was only a small circle of open space, and those cavity could not hit at all!
"Stop fighting, the fucking dodge rune comes with it, if you can really hit, I'll call you Dad!" Lao Hai jumped up in a hurry and urged us to flee for our lives.
The fawn scolded angrily, and ran towards us quickly with the eight-one bar on his back, and behind him was a black press, accompanied by the sound of squirping, and the whole valley was filled with fear.
We ran desperately in the direction of the canyon, and the burrowworms, though with their short legs, were not inferior to us in any way, almost clinging to our heels in pursuit.
"No, I won't be able to run if I go on like this, and these insects don't know how to get tired!" I shouted.
"You talk a lot, don't run if you don't want to run, let these cavworms serve you!" Lao Hai turned his head and scolded.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a few burly larvae that had crawled up to my feet, and they were crawling on top of me so fast that they had run to my waist in the blink of an eye, and I was so anxious that I screamed and waved my hand to slap it.
Seeing this, Lao Hai yelled: "Don't touch them! As long as it doesn't touch your skin, it's fine! Keep running, don't get caught up in the back! ā
"So what about these now? I can't wait for them to eat me! I exclaimed, my voice trembling slightly.
Lao Hai was already out of breath, and said excitedly: "Aren't I trying to find a way!" Can you please shut up! ā
At this moment, I was bitten by something on my hand, and it hurt like a tear, and I hurriedly raised my hand to look, and saw a burrowworm burrowing into my flesh, and half of its body had already poked in, exposing its ass outside.
My tears of pain flowed, and I subconsciously reached out to grab it, it didn't matter if I didn't grab it, I grabbed the insect but drilled harder, and I squirted out directly with a breath I was holding, and the feeling of extreme pain made me can't stop screaming hoarsely.
Almost at the same moment, my speed slowed down significantly, and the cavines behind me crawled onto my feet, so dense that my feet could no longer move, and countless insect feet disturbed under my nose. Looking at this scene in front of me, my eyes widened, and I was so nervous that I could barely breathe!
