Chapter 14: The Blood Splattered Dragon
"A, I went to the front to observe the terrain, about forty meters away from here, there is a clearing, and further on there is a dead end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Benjamin said.
Su You looked at this Benjamin, he was the first to detect the air, he was also Yang Song and them just now, and now it is he who is exploring the way, it seems that this person is Aaron's right-hand man, and he is also a terrific character, which cannot be underestimated.
"Another dead end?" Aaron picked up the map and frowned.
Su You also posted it and looked at it, "The map is also marked with a dead end? What's going on? ”
Aaron shook his head, "I don't know very well, when your friends wake up, we'll go over and see." ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
A cough sounded suddenly.
"Yang Song, how are you?" Qi Shan asked.
Yang Song opened his eyes and saw that it was his own young master, and a dignified seven-foot man actually cried, "Young master, I'm not dead?" That's great! I can still see you! ”
Yang Song's voice was very loud, Xiao Kai and Liangzi also woke up one after another, and they were also very happy to see the familiar Su You and Qi Shan.
Because the steps were very narrow, everyone had to line up in a "line".
"It's not convenient here, so we'll take them to the open space in front of us so that we can take care of them." Felix suggested.
This open space is not large, only about 10 square meters, but it is a pretty good resting place for this group of people.
"What the hell happened to you? What about my uncle and Dalong? Su You couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't mention Dalong's goods! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have almost died! Ryoko said angrily.
Xiao Kai stabbed Liangzi and signaled him to control his emotions, after all, they are all partners, and it is not easy to get too stiff, and then said: "Here's the thing......"
In the next period of time, Xiao Kai told the story in detail from beginning to end.
It turned out that, like Su You, it all started with that thick fog.
Su Zuoyi, who was walking in the forefront, was the first to notice that something was wrong with the team, he asked Xiaobai, who followed closely behind, to go around to the back of the team, and the two checked one by one, when Su Zuo also checked Xiaokai, Liangzi and Dalong, Xiaobai's voice came from the back of the team: "Su You and Qishan are gone!" ”
Su Zuo also asked everyone to form a circle hand in hand, and walked along the rope to Su You's original location, only to find that there were blood stains on that section of the rope, and it seemed that Su You was taken away! Xiao Bai's side also found that there were blood stains in Qi Shan's location, so it should be the same group of people who robbed the two of them!
Su Zuo also asked everyone to stay where they were, and he and Xiaobai went out to look for them, for the safety of Xiaokai and them, so they asked Dalong to stay and protect them.
Yang Song's protector was anxious, and Dalong was also worried about Su You's comfort, so the two of them stiffened their mouths, but after all, it was not a deep hatred, Xiao Kai and the others persuaded them a few words, and the matter was over.
But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Su Zuoyi and them to come back, something happened.
Dalong suddenly stood up and ran in one direction, due to the suddenness of the incident, the others did not react, only felt that the rope on their wrists was suddenly tightened, and they had to go in the direction of force.
At the beginning, they thought that Dalong had discovered something, so they all tried very hard to follow, but when they were exhausted, Dalong was still running, like crazy, and that speed could no longer be called the speed of "people"!
The three of them shouted desperately, trying to get the dragon to stop, but to no avail.
The running "Great Dragon" was extremely strong, and even if the three of them were half-dragged on the ground, it did not affect his speed in the slightest. Gradually, the three of them lost consciousness.
It didn't take long for the three of them to open their eyes in a daze, and found that the place where they were was was a large cave, and they were all leaning against the innermost wall of the cave, and in front of them, in the center of the cave, was a huge pool, which blocked their way out.
"Where's the kid Dalong? I'm going to fix him! "Ryoko is very angry!
"For now, we'll have to get out of here first." Xiao Kai said, he was curious, there was no other road around, Da Long put the three of them here, how did he get out, the only way was this pool that I don't know how deep.
"Since he can get out, so can we!" Yang Song said, walked to the side of the pool, and looked at it with a flashlight, "The water is very clear, the depth is good, and there is a thick layer of white stones of different shapes in it, we should be able to wade out." ”
"White stone?" Xiao Kai and Liangzi walked to the side curiously to look, it doesn't matter what they see, Xiao Kai's cold sweat is down, where is this white stone, this is clearly a human bone!
"Oh my God! How are there so many human bones here! "Ryoko is also a professional, so you can see it at a glance.
Yang Song was still stupid for a long time to react, and he was so bad that he still treated them as white stones, and he had to step on them! I felt a chill in my heart.
"If I'm right, this isn't a pool, it's a sacrificial pit!" Xiao Kai said.
Yang Song shuddered, "So, what is that?" ”
"It is a pit for sacrifices, ancient people used to sacrifice, such as worshiping gods, worshipping ancestors, etc., collectively referred to as sacrifices, and generally sacrifices are made of livestock, that is, cattle, sheep and pigs, but," Liangzi glanced at Xiao Kai, and the other party's face was not very good-looking, "But in feudal society, there are many strange customs, such as the sacrifice of boys and girls in some places......"
"What? You, you mean, the bones in this pit are all children's? Yang Song said incredulously, and then glanced at the huge pool, the thickness of the white bones in it, I don't know the bottom, "What a sin!" What a child! ! ”
While they were talking, there was a sudden violent shaking, and a high stone platform rose up in the middle of the pool, not very high, about the height of a floor!
Finally stabilizing his figure, Yang Song stared at the stone pillar in front of him with wide eyes, on which was carved an entrenched dragon, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Liangzi wasn't sure what this was for, and turned his head to look at Xiao Kai.
At this moment, Xiao Kai was already trembling, his face was like ashes, as if he had seen death.
"Xiao Kai? This is? Ryoko had never seen Xiao Kai like this, and he was also shocked, in his memory, Xiao Kai was always so knowledgeable and confident, there was nothing he didn't know, and there was nothing he couldn't explain!
"We... I'm afraid it is... Can't get out! Xiao Kai said tremblingly.
It turns out that this thing is the manifestation of the blood sacrifice, this thing is called the "blood collection platform", as the name suggests, that is, the blood sacrifice is used to collect blood containers, the blood sacrifice is a very miserable way of sacrifice, it will put the living flat on the top of the platform, after fixing, it will draw out two guillotines from the platform, from the bottom to the top of the human body to cut the human body into three sections, the blood flowing out of the human body flows along the side of the pillar of the dragon carved on the side, during the flow, it also plays a certain role in filtration, the blood flows to the bottom, there is a blood collection trough, The clean blood filtered out can be used for human consumption or as a lubrication for machinery.
After listening to Xiao Kai's introduction, although Yang Song felt chills for a while, he didn't know why Xiao Kai said that they couldn't get out.
"Xiao Kai, since that's the case, shouldn't we just go around? Whether it's for human consumption or mechanical lubrication, and now there is no one on it, neither can it be done! Ryoko analyzed more rationally.
"How can it be so simple, Liangzi Yang Song, you take a closer look at this dragon pillar!" Xiao Kai pointed to the extremely long beard of the dragon engraved in relief, "Look at its beard, it is not a simple decoration, but a circulating structural device, after the blood is filtered, it flows into the bottom blood trough, and then the blood trough flows into the body of the dragon through this long beard!" ”
When Xiao Kai said this, Liangzi's face was not very good, and Yang Song seemed to understand something.
"If I'm not mistaken, this whole device doesn't collect blood for people or mechanical lubrication at all, but ...... In order to raise this dragon! Xiao Kai whispered, as if the dragon was alive.
If so, it proves that it is this dragon that dominates here, even if the ancients were superstitious, they would not bury countless children to feed a stone dragon for no reason, there must be something wrong with this!
"Let's go out right away while there's still no change!" Liangzi pulled Xiao Kai and Yang Song and was about to wade over, and everyone understood that if they stayed here for one more minute, there would be more danger.
Stepping on the white bones in the water, especially when they know that they are human bones, the feeling is really chilling, but whenever there is a second way, they will definitely choose without hesitation!
The three turned off their flashlights and did not look at the contents of the pool.
Just as they were walking to the bottom of the dragon pillar, Yang Song suddenly stopped.
"Yang Song, what's wrong with you?" Ryoko asked.
"It smells of blood." Yang Song said. He has been accustomed to a life of fighting and killing since he was a child, and bloodshed and death are commonplace, so he is extremely familiar with the smell of blood.
"How can it be ......" Ryoko was just about to speak, when a drop of cold liquid fell on his face.
Ryoko turned on the flashlight and saw that it was blood!
"Hahaha......"
A shrill laugh came directly above the trio, especially eerie in the silent cave.
"Who's there?" Yang Song had the courage to turn on the flashlight and shine it upwards.
"Ahh
The three of them saw the people above clearly, and they all shouted.
Sitting on the stone platform above the Panlong Pillar is none other than the "big dragon" who brought them here!
I saw that the big dragon's face was covered with blood, and the boss with a grin at the corners of his mouth was smiling weirdly at them, and his facial features were also a little distorted, tilting his head, looking at them directly! His legs were dangling in the air, and blood was dripping down his feet.
I'm afraid, Yang Song and the three of them are also men, even if there is something wrong with Dalong, but after all, they are their partners, and they can't watch him die of blood like this!
"Dalong? How did you get up there? You're hurt? Is it serious? Hurry down, we'll bandage you! Yang Song said, his voice trembling.
"Hahaha......"
The "big dragon" didn't speak, just kept laughing, and the voice echoed throughout the cave, making people's hearts chill.
"I think Da Long seems to have been tricked, if he stays here, we will be the same as him!" Xiao Kai said with a frown.
People are like this, choosing between their own lives and the lives of others, and the vast majority of people will choose to give up the lives of others, which is a reasonable thing and understandable.
The trio didn't plan to continue wasting time here.
Just when Yang Song took back the light of the flashlight, the afterglow swept to the dragon and saw the dragon's changes!
"Little Kailiangzi, come and see this stone dragon!" Jansson exclaimed.
I saw that the outer skin of the stone dragon was peeling off piece by piece, revealing the scarlet inside, and the huge space was instantly filled with the smell of blood, which made people sick.
However, the three of them didn't care about the unpleasant smell, and their attention was all on Shi Long.
The inside of the stone dragon kept appearing, and it kept dripping blood, and the scarlet liquid fell into the pool one by one, and after a while, the entire pool became a "blood pool"!
"Oh no, let's go!" Xiao Kai shouted.
It's just too late, the pool of blood overturned in an instant, and Liangzi and Yang Song were already lying in the blood and didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Xiao Kai also lay involuntarily in the pool of blood, and just a second before he lost consciousness, he saw the distorted face of the "big dragon" smiling strangely at him!
