Chapter 65: The Tomb of the Hundred Ghosts
"Don't talk about it!" Zhao Huchun said, "Let me first help my brothers from seventeen years ago to avenge me!" He was gasping for breath now, probably because his body was weaker from the running just now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I sighed heavily, I didn't know whether to act excited or frightened now, but because I had so many emotions in my heart, so chaotic, I could only show a hint of flatness, saying, "If you kill it now, you will kill someone!" ā
"You say...... You say this monster is human? Zhao Huchun said.
I frowned, shook my head, and said, "It's human, but it's not human!" It turns out that the legend is true, and the mountain ghosts are the product of destroying the mountains and forests and destroying the environment. The mountain gods sent them to punish all evils, but they sent our kind! ā
"Ke Shao, what exactly do you want to say?" Fat Bao said impatiently, "If you know what the origin of the mountain ghost is, hurry up and say it!" You say half of this and don't say half of it, which makes people very upset, do you know it, and make a mistake! ā
"Remember when the one-eyed old man who lived at the foot of the mountain took us up Longtou Mountain, we rested for a while in Yingxu Pavilion, and did you see a big white pit not far away?" I say.
"Remember! It's called the Dead Pit! The one-eyed old man said that because of the development of industry on Longtou Mountain before, the nearby domestic water was polluted, so ......" Feibao's eyes widened at this time, and he was so surprised that he was almost speechless, "Could it be ...... Could it be that this ......"
"What the hell is a mountain ghost?" The wolf was in a hurry.
"It is a victim of the development of industry!" I looked at the mountain ghost above who was still screaming and said, "It is probably a deformed child abandoned by the villagers near Yongtou Mountain." The one-eyed old man said that decades ago, after the water in Longtou Mountain was polluted, many babies died soon after birth, and many of them were deformed throughout their lives. Babies who died were abandoned in the pits of the dead, and some deformed babies who were not dead were also abandoned there. ā
"It resembles a human, with hair and a beard, but the rest of it is naked, with long nails, just a little deformed. It also has intelligence, it can design traps, and it can use the traps here to ambush us. They can still remember the power of the gun in their minds after being hurt by a bullet. These are characteristics that only humans have in advanced primates. ā
Instead of showing surprise and fear, everyone was silent. We all repent of human deeds! Mountain ghosts are victims of human development!
"What should we do with that mountain ghost above?" The wolf said, "Kill it, and we will become murderers." It's a bit inhumane to leave it like that. But if we let it go, our lives are in danger again. ā
I'm also struggling with what to do with this guy.
"Just hang it like that!" "It's annoying to me, let's go!" ā
"Why is it so strange!" Hotaru said, "It seems to be saying the same thing all the time!" ā
"Say something!" "It's frightened and overly screaming!" How could such a deformed person who had been in a cave for so long speak! ā
As soon as Hotaru said this, I went out of my way to listen to it. Although the mountain ghost has been making a low doll sound, the frequency and pitch of its sound are the same every time, and it is obvious that it is uttering the same sentence.
My heart sank, "Oops! ā
"What are you doing?" Fei Bao asked.
"It's asking for help from its companions!" I say.
"No, it won't!"
"The diary says that the archaeological team was attacked by a group of mountain ghosts seventeen years ago! It definitely has companions! ā
"That's right! Listen to the sound it makes very regular! "It's the instinct of the pack of beasts!" ā
Thinking that nearly forty of the most skilled PLA soldiers in the archaeological team seventeen years ago were wiped out, even if we have forty fat treasures here, it is estimated that we will not be able to withstand it. Without saying a word, I immediately let everyone run away. I saw a path at the end of the pile of stones, and I motioned for everyone to run that way.
But within a few steps, all of us stopped. Because we all heard a sparse noise behind us, in the direction in which we were entering, as if something was coming rapidly towards us from a distance, and there were quite a few of them.
"His boss's, it's really fast!" Fei Bao said.
We all retreated to a semi-enclosed triangular stone mound closest to us, ready for battle.
There was a "pop" sound, and I don't know who stepped on something. The sound was the same as the sound of stepping on broken wood.
"Ahh Hotaru yelled and stepped back to my side.
"Here...... Here are dead man's bones! Hotaru said.
I took a closer look, and it was really a pile of human bones. I looked further into the triangular stone mound nearby, and it turned out that there was a dead man's bones inside. Just now, all the attention was focused on catching the mountain ghosts, and I didn't notice the white bones here.
I looked at the human bone on our side and saw that it was missing a hand, and then I looked at the triangular stone mound nearby, and the human bone was either missing arms and legs, or fingers, or the head was unusually large and small. I also saw some metal particles covered in rust.
"This is the grave of the mountain ghost!" I say.
"What? Mountain ghosts also have graves? Fei Bao said, "There seem to be a lot of these triangular stone mounds here!" ā
By the light of the flares just now, it was roughly estimated that there should be hundreds of such triangular stone mounds here, that is, there are hundreds of mountain ghost graves here. That's a staggering amount!
"The mountain ghost is coming!" Qixing said.
By this time I had heard the sparse advance sounds coming to the entrance of the passageway. All of us flashlights shone at the hole. Then a series of dark shadows burst out of the hole.
I found that the appearance of these mountain ghosts was really deformed. Although their limbs are very developed, some of them lack arms and legs, some have no entire lower body, some look black, not like yellow people at all, more like Africans, some of their facial features are twisted together, especially terrifying, and some have long fangs. They are more like ghosts than people. They were all lying on the ground, naked, with their heads scattered and staring at us, and occasionally baring their teeth at us. They all look old.
"What the hell! Only a dozen! "I thought they were going to have an army!" Scared my brother. We've got guns, and we'll be able to get them done in no time! I really can't understand why the archaeological team seventeen years ago was wiped out by these dozen mountain ghosts! ā
"Don't underestimate them!" Zhang Long said, "They have a lot of strength and are very agile!" ā
"Only a dozen of them!" I say.
"What do you mean?" Hotaru asked, "Brother Jinke, you seem to have known that there are only a dozen of them." ā
"Because most of the mountain ghosts died seventeen years ago!" I said, "Most of the graves here are mountain ghosts who died in battle with the archaeological team 17 years ago. I thought of the fierceness of the battle between the archaeological team and the mountain ghosts back then, "No matter how good your skills are, how can thirty or forty pistols deal with hundreds of mountain ghosts with agility and amazing strength!" ā
