Chapter 14: The Redtail Scales
As the master said, we walked through seven stone chambers along the way, and if we connected the nine stone chambers, it was an upward diagonal line, which proved that this mountain was very likely to be a cone-shaped soul sacrifice tower for "demon refining", and we were on one of the nine roads leading to the top of the tower.

When we got to the ninth stone chamber, we hesitated. At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that if they pushed open the stone gate in front of them, they would probably be swarmed by 80 bloody slaves who were not afraid of life and death, and would bite us to death. However, the entrance has been blocked, and if you don't go any further, you will either starve to death or die of thirst.
The God of Wealth was impatient at this time: "Don't hesitate, life and death are not just like that." Without opening this door, we have no hope at all. This door has been opened, and perhaps, all concerns are unfounded. ”
It is also possible that the God of Wealth said it. However, it is better to have a plan to increase the chances of survival. I said, "Since the road leading to us now has an exit to the outside of the mountain, there should be eight other roads as well, right?" When the door opens, don't anger the monsters first, if it's not a last resort, it's best to find another way to sneak in, and perhaps, find a safe exit. "If you really meet the monster head-on, everyone will save their lives and run if they have a way."
Everyone was extremely nervous, and they were depressed for a while, unable to speak.
I've been through a lot of things, and although the fear in my heart has spread to every part of my body, I can still calm down as much as possible. I said to Huzi: "Huzi. Open the door. ”
Huzi went to push the stone door, and the God of Wealth and I pointed our guns at the monster that jumped out from behind the door at any time. The master and the god of wealth stood behind us, each holding a knife, ready to fight to the death.
But when the door opened, we were surprised by the surprise...... Behind the door is a stone chamber with a radius of about 100 meters, and a square altar made of bluestone in the middle, which is very similar to the square pyramid of Maya. The monsters we feared before we entered the door, although they did appear before our eyes, they were all dry and twisted, like dried bacon, and they had completely lost their lives, and they were in an orderly manner divided into nine columns, kneeling with their heads bowed in all directions around the pyramid. It seems that they have all contributed all their yin energy to the corpse golem and died as real dried corpses.
But those babies are still alive, according to the master's ninety-nine eighty-one coffins, four under one coffin, then there are 324 babies in front of us. They were all naked, lying on top of each other on the pyramid, occupying half of the space of the stone chamber, guarding the dusty sarcophagus at the top of the pyramid. Luckily, they were all asleep like normal babies and didn't notice us.
I don't have time to look at these terrifying monsters, and the more I look at them, the more irrational they become. I looked left and right, and when I found that there were indeed nine stone doors on the walls of this stone room, I felt a sense of luck in my heart, turned around and lowered my voice and said, "Light! Let's go this way. ”
I was about to sneak up on the nearest stone door, but Huzi stopped and patted me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw that Huzi and the people behind him were looking sideways at the pyramid, their expressions a little stiff and depressed.
I also looked over, and my heart was suddenly shocked, and I was stunned. Just as I was turning to speak to everyone, the three hundred or so babies opened their black eyes with useless pupils almost simultaneously and focused all their eyes on the five of us. Their emotionless eyes, like those of babies in the corner in the middle of the night, make the scalp tingle.
The other party has an absolute advantage in numbers, and I also have a hunch that these babies are definitely not powerless children, and I don't care so much, escape is the key.
I whispered, "Hey, you're stupid? What else to see! Let's go! ”
As soon as I turned around, I pushed the stone gate hard, and Huzi and the God of Wealth also rushed over to help. As soon as the door opened to accommodate the body of a person, I immediately pushed the master into with the bag, and then squeezed in with me. Fortunately, the babies were slow to react, and all five of them managed to enter the door before they thought of attacking us.
The God of Wealth was anxious: "Close the door quickly, quickly!" Here they are! ”
The five of us tried to close the door again, but it was our whim, and we forgot that four babies had quietly opened the stone door and slipped out of the stone chamber under our noses. We had just closed the door when there was a dull thud. The bodies of those babies were like a lump of steel, and they hit the stone door, and the huge impact force produced knocked the stone door out of the crack at one time, and the hands of the five people who put it on the stone door were numb.
The master shouted, "It's useless, let's go!" ”
A few people turned around and ran. However, every time we pass through a stone room, we have to push open a heavy stone door, otherwise the figure of Huzi and God of Wealth will not be able to pass through, so the physical strength will be consumed very quickly. By the time they reached the sixth stone chamber, the hands of the five men were already cramping. This is mainly because I didn't guard against the baby's impact just now, and my wrist was hit by a strong shock, and I felt a faint pain.
By the time of the seventh door, everyone was already sweating profusely, their clothes were soaked, and they needed to rest urgently.
The God of Wealth sat on the ground and asked weakly: "Fourth brother, can you stop running?" You usually have so many ghost ideas, don't you have a way to deal with the group of little ones behind you? ”
"You said lightweight, can you call it small?" I leaned my back against the stone wall and wiped my sweat: "I rarely go underground, and I have no experience in dealing with underground things. ”
The God of Wealth asked, "You didn't mention this kind of thing in your broken book?" Didn't you say that your broken book was awesome? ”
I replied casually, "I'm bragging, you can't hear it." ”
The God of Wealth looked disdainful: "I know you're bragging." The God of Wealth said, took out a small bottle of Erguotou from his bag, opened the lid and took a sip, then handed it to me and said, "Come, be brave." According to my will, let's fight them, and how can we know how good they are if we don't fight. The so-called one husband should not be opened, so we will leave a crack and kill one when they come out. ”。
I objected, saying, "No kidding. You think everyone is like you, you don't take life seriously, you try everything. "Before they catch up, catch your breath."
Actually, I don't have any big regrets when I die, but I feel that the master and the tiger are pitiful, one is born crippled, loyal and honest, and the other is talented and beautiful, slim and slim...... I took a sip of the wine, felt tasteless, and handed it to Huzi...... At this time, I inadvertently noticed a red bug on the earlobe of the tiger.
"Don't move!"
I told the tiger to stay still, and carefully caught a small bug that had crawled into his ear groove. I pinched the little bug's tail and put it in front of my eyes to look at it. The red scales, the lizard's tail, and the feet of six centipedes, mainly the broken mouth of the grasshopper, you can't be wrong, this is the red-tailed scale that I heard the ears calling.
Don't look at this thing as small, it's definitely the best in the insect world. When I was a child, my grandfather caught a few in the mountains and kept them in bottles to play with us, and fed them live frogs and mice every day, the most cruel time was that my grandfather bought a turtle for them to eat, the turtle crawled slowly, could not struggle, was eaten little by little for three days, and finally only empty shells and blood were left.
These insects, especially bloodthirsty, can smell blood through the skin, and can tear through the epidermis in one bite, use the slender and smooth body to drill into the animal's body, and eat all the internal organs in the body. The most special thing is that it becomes very active as soon as it hears the song that his grandfather called "Song of the Dead", and can understand the instructions revealed by the composer in the song, and is controlled by the musician.
I once asked my grandfather why the redtail scales were so special. Grandpa said that because the red-tailed scales were once the fleas on the plague god Liu Yuanda, and "Song of the Dead" is a tune that Liu Yuanda plays every day.
