Chapter 16: Dawn: The Scourge of Bloodlight
The grass ticks are bloodthirsty, they must have been attracted by the snake blood here, the number of grass ticks in this forest is too terrifying, and they are obviously hungry and faint, and they all gather here.
I lowered the torch and burned the grass ticks on the bushes around me, and I was bitten several times on my foot, and I didn't have time to deal with it, so I had to let it go and find a way to break through.
The fat man made a temporary torch with a rifle, and we forced them away with the fire, and lifted Pan Zi up, and when we saw that Pan Zi's back was all hung with hematomas, he should have been bitten just now, and his back was pressed under the grass and was not found.
The fat man immediately burned it with a torch, and a large piece fell off at once, and then we dragged Panzi's backpack and hurried away.
Fortunately, Panzi's blood had stopped, and no more grass ticks were provoked, and when he looked back, he saw that the body of the python had been completely covered with black spots, and soon this thing would be sucked like the bones of the snake seen in the canyon, leaving only a layer of skin.
"I didn't rate this thing when I was evaluating the four evils, I was really wronged by it." The fat man looked at it and said with a sigh.
We carried Panzi all the way to a swamp, and fearing that the blood on our bodies would attract the grass ticks again, we washed all the blood on our bodies and Panzi's backpack with water. Washing and washing, the sky was brightened, and the dawn finally came. I looked at the white light from the sky, yù cried without tears, this was the second dark night I had spent here, and if it was possible, I really didn't want to have a third.
The fat man asked me where I was going, and I took out my compass and climbed up the tree to learn from Panzi.
The light of the morning light was dim, yù was not bright, I climbed the tree, and suddenly I smelled an extremely clear air, jīng couldn't help but feel excited, this ghost place, if there is anything good, the morning should be the only thing that can make me feel good, this is probably because the night here is too terrible.
I took a deep breath and was just about to look around, when I was stunned to find that there was an incomparably wide area in front of me, and in front of me, only fifty or sixty meters away, there was a huge temple-like black sè ruins.
I don't know how to describe this feeling of mine, I thought I would see a large canopy, and as I had seen before, this sudden behemoth made me unable to think for a moment. It took me a long time to realize: if I hadn't climbed the tree in this place, I might have kept moving forward, passing by so close to this temple.
Unlike the ruins seen before, the temple is completely a monolith, a huge and complete multi-storey structure, which cannot be seen in the current light, but it feels like the scale may be much larger than what we see, and looking at the outline, it is much better preserved than the ruins in the rainforest. There were only a few places in the entire site that I could see that there were weeds and trees, and I saw large dry boulders that I had not seen in a long time. The ancient reliefs of the Western Regions on the pillars and walls of the temple look like tiny patterns on a boulder at this distance, making people feel extremely mysterious.
I walked there with the fat man, and in less than two minutes we were out of the woods and into the confines of the ruins, and the trees were thinning.
From under the tree, the ruins are even bigger and amazing, how to look really like Angkor Wat, everywhere is a stone corridor, unknown square towers, and finally came to a high place, saw the huge temple behind the canopy, the fat man was stunned, I looked at it while admiring and said to him: "If this place is developed, it will be the ninth wonder of the world, do you believe it?" ”
"I believe it." The fat man suddenly saw something and pointed me in a direction, "It's not the Nine Wonders of the Fucking World, it's also a great miracle of ours, look over there." ”
I looked in the direction of his finger and saw that on the flat ground in front of the temple, there were a dozen large tents in a row, which turned out to be a field camp.
The tent is canvas, very big, very old, large and small are very scattered, Yan sè is the gray sè of the stone, so I didn't find it from a distance just now, this is not Aning Their tent, but it is not old enough to stand here for more than ten years, a hope flashed in my heart, and at this time the fat man has already shouted:
"This is your third uncle's tent, I recognize the fat man!"
I was ecstatic in my heart, and I almost shouted, this is really a mountain and a poor water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, it seems that God has played me enough, and wants me to rest.
The fat man and I immediately rushed to the camp, and I didn't know where the strength came from, all I could think about was resting and sleeping.
We ran wildly through the open field before the ruins, this is a square made of huge boulders, there are many huge pools in between, the water is living water, very clear, you can see the corridor under the pool, the depth of the corridor is pitch black and I don't know where it leads, obviously these parts were originally above and below the water, now it is submerged, we see the huge temple, maybe only the roof of the temple at that time, or the top floor, how magnificent this building is, it is really impossible to estimate.
Before he got close to the camp, the fat man began to scream, and after screaming for a long time without responding, he ran and ran, and found that something was wrong with this camp.
The whole camp was furiously quiet, no one moving, no figures, no sound of conversation or activity, dead silence, as if deserted.
We ran to the edge of the camp and stopped, exhausted, the excitement of the moment was gone, I already realized that the rest might be far away from me, the fat man gasped, quiet, listened carefully, the camp in the morning light was not sound at all, the silence was like a rainforest, I didn't feel a little life.
The fat man muttered, "No, we may not be here at the right time." ”
