The terrain here is from a high place downward, and the hidden river in the tomb is really something we didn't expect. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When we were in the stalactite cave before, we found that there was a river above the cave, but could this river be the same one we hear now?

I took out my compass and looked at it, and found that the location of the river was in the northwest direction, and I said hello to the fat man Da Zhuang and the two of them, and then hurriedly walked over. The further I walked to the northwest, the dampness that permeated the air was even further, and after walking a distance of almost 100 meters, I found that the temperature around here had dropped a lot compared to before, and we were wearing a lot of clothes, but I still felt that there was cold air drilling into my body.

I shivered a little chill and asked, "Don't you think it's getting a little colder?" ”

The fat man nodded vigorously and said, "I've already felt it, damn, it feels like entering an ice cave!" ”

I also felt a little strange that the moisture produced by the river water was far less cold than that, and although the season was almost winter, there was no snow, let alone the river would freeze and so on.

We walked inside again, and the sound of the water we had heard before gradually became clearer, as if it was not far from us. Da Zhuang turned on the flashlight to open the road at the front, stopped when he walked to the front, and then shouted at us: "Master Wei, fat man, there is water here!" ”

The two of us hurriedly ran over, indeed, in front of more than ten meters we found a river, the width of the river is not very large, the span between the two banks is about ten meters, the water flow is not very turbulent, look at the direction of the river, the source should flow from north to south.

I leaned over, the water of this river is very clear, I can see everything under the river, this river is almost more than a meter deep, and there are smooth stones all over it, but these stones inexplicably give me a bad premonition.

When we passed through the cave just now, we threw out almost everything in our backpacks, except for the necessary items for opening the tomb, even food and water bottles.

When the fat man saw the flow of water, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly went to the edge of the river and began to drink. Indeed, after walking for such a long time, coupled with the physical strength consumed by fighting those corpse rats before, most of the water in our bodies has been consumed.

The fat man didn't care so much, he held his head in the water for half a minute before he raised his head, and then he burped contentedly, and then said to us, "What the hell are you doing there, why don't you drink more water?" ”

Before the fat man's words fell, Da Zhuang, who was vigilant on the side, suddenly shouted, and then let us hurry over and have a look. We went to the place where Da Zhuang was shouting and looked. Only to find that near a wall on the edge of the river, a large cloud of strange green light emerged, and those were actually piled up with nearly hundreds of corpse bones, those corpses seemed to have been dead for a long time, and at this time, there were nearly a hundred corpse rats on it, and there was no panic at all because of our intrusion, but still gnawed on the carrion on the bones.

When we see those corpse rats, our knee-jerk reaction is to take a step back and quickly pull out weapons such as pistols and daggers to take precautions. After the vicious fight just now, the intimidation of these rats has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The fat man's heart was a little panicked, and he said, "Old Wei, what should we do?" Kill out? ”

I looked at the corpse rats, they were still gnawing at the bones, and they didn't look at us, and I whispered, "Wait a minute, these corpse rats don't seem to eat the living." ”

The fat man was a little dazed, and then scolded me: "What the hell are you talking about, you didn't see those corpse rats just now, Lao Tzu almost lost his life!" ”

I quickly shut him up, and then retreated to the edge of the river, if the corpse rats did attack us, there was no cover around us, and the only way to get out was to swim to the other side of the river. The ears of these corpse rats are extremely flexible, and even a gust of wind cannot escape their ears. The fat man didn't notice the stone behind him when he was going backwards, stepped on it and fell on it and fell a dog eating. He fell to the ground and screamed in pain. I didn't pull up the fat man immediately, and stared at the location of those corpse rats with my eyes. The fat man also seemed to realize something, and after screaming, he quickly closed his mouth, and then stared at the place with his eyes in horror.

But strangely, we made such a loud noise here, and the corpse rats were stunned when they heard it, and then looked around, probably not noticing us, and then lowered their heads and gnawed on the pile of bones under them.

I hurriedly took advantage of this gap to drag the fat man up, and then came to the bank of the river, looking at the corpse rats and not doing anything, this is a long sigh of relief in my heart, and then complained to the fat man: "Tell me about you, what else can you do with a dead fat man!" ”

The fat man also knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't say anything when I scolded him, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why didn't those corpse rats come towards us?" ”

I looked at the corpse rats with a flashlight, but they looked a little different from the ones we had seen in the stalactite cave. The corpse rat in the stalactite cave has almost the top reaction speed and ferocity. At the corners of their mouths, each corpse rat could clearly see the two sharp front teeth. And the corpse rats we are looking at, although their front teeth are also sharp, they are far less long than those corpse rats.

I turned off my flashlight to prevent the corpse rats from noticing the light, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these corpse rats don't eat the living." ”

The fat man and Da Zhuang didn't understand it, but after I explained it like this, they both suddenly realized. The fat man sighed and said, "Grandma's, this corpse rat is still classified underground?" ”

I nodded and said: "There are too many incomprehensible places in the underground world, these corpse rats hidden in the underground have undergone changes over time, and have mutated ecologically, although some corpse rats begin to eat carrion in order to survive, but they will not take the initiative to attack humans or living creatures, while the other part of the corpse rats are because of the relationship between living underground, and slowly develop bloodthirsty habits." ”

When we confirmed that the corpse rats were the former, we were much more emboldened, and I lit a paper ball with a lighter and threw it over, and the corpse rats wandering on the pile of bones jumped up and down, and in a short time they all ran away. That's when we dare to put our hearts down and get closer.

Many of the bones piled up there were wearing clothes, but most of them were already in tatters from the bite of corpse rats, and some of them couldn't tell what kind of style they were. Fortunately, we found a relatively well-preserved garment among the bones at the bottom, which is the same as the one we saw when we first entered the tomb, it is also a Japanese-style military coat, and it can be concluded that the person who died here is probably also Japanese!

I looked at the shabby military coat and wondered, what happened to these Japanese after they entered the ancient tomb, how could they have suffered so many casualties? From the time we entered the tomb to get here, we had found almost hundreds of bones.

The fat man came up to me and said, "Old Wei, what the hell is going on?" ”

I shook my head and said I don't know, I can't see anything for a while, if these people died recently, then I can use their physical characteristics before death to determine their real cause of death. But now these Japanese have become a pile of bones, and it is impossible to investigate the cause of their deaths.

The accumulation area of these bones is very large, towards the position of those bones, there are several bones that have been immersed in the river water, when he saw this scene, the fat man finally couldn't help it, and quickly squatted on the ground and vomited, the position of the bones is upstream, and the water that the fat man drank is just past those bones.

The fat man vomited happily, basically spit out all the water he had just drunk, and moaned in his mouth while spitting out, which made me and Da Zhuang both a little disgusting.

The fat man vomited on the spot for almost a few minutes, and his whole body was a little prostration, so he barely stood up with Da Zhuang in his arms, but as soon as he got up, he fell down, and then began to vomit again.

I looked at the bones lying in the water, shattered, and most of the hand bones and skulls of the body had been washed away, and I thought that the bones and slag must have remained in the water. I looked at the fat man with some pity and didn't get him up until he really vomited into nothing.

As soon as the fat man got up, he said intermittently: "His grandmother's, old, old man, hate these Japanese devils to death!! ”

The tone of the last two words was pulled by him, and anyone could hear the unwillingness and anger inside. However, these Japanese are already dead, and it is basically impossible to settle accounts with them. At that moment, I could only find a wooden stick like a child of a few years old, put it in his hand and said, "Don't call, if you can't get angry, go find those bones and spread your anger." ”

The fat man glared at me, but by this time he didn't even have the strength to get up, let alone expend his strength to get angry with some dead people. After resting on the spot for a while, he slowly came to his senses, but when he saw the bones in the river, he was still a little sick, and I thought that a psychological blow to him would definitely not be able to laugh a little.

After I placed the fat man, I looked at the pile of bones before, there was no fat man on the side, my mind was also careful, this careful was finally discovered, I pulled over a corpse bone, and found that the ribs of this corpse had been broken, and the area was also very large, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire chest and stomach.

Obediently, if these ribs are broken, if you don't die, you will basically end up with a lifelong disability. I think I'm a little scared, when I was young, I went out with my friends and accidentally fell down the hillside, and this time I broke two ribs alive, and I spent almost two months of recuperation, and the pain is a little scary when I think about it now.

I dragged another one and examined the ribs of the bones, and found that each one was the same as the first, and the ribs had been broken by something.

This is true of the first, the same is true of the second, the third, the fourth... When I looked at the bones of more than a dozen bodies, I was able to determine the true cause of their deaths.

Before his death, he was hit with a sharp weapon, causing all the ribs to be broken. And looking at the part and strength of the attack, it is enough for them to die in an instant after suffering from the intermediate level!

Who did such a heavy hand? Although these were all Japanese who died, to be honest, I didn't feel sorry for the tragic death of these people in my heart. But after all, they are also human beings, and it is indeed a little unthinkable to die inexplicably in this dark tomb.

I looked at the pile of bones all over the place, looked a little upset, and then sat down, trying to smoke a cigarette to clear my mind. My ass was sitting on top of the military coat that I had turned over. There seems to be something in this military coat, and it hurts me a little.

I hurriedly jumped up, and then searched the inside and outside of the military coat, and only then did I find that a small pocket was sewn on the inside of the military coat. I reached out and felt inside, and it was like I had touched something round, bead-like.

I touched a sharp weapon casually, and tore open the pocket of the sewn underwear little by little, because I was not sure what was in it, so the technique was also very careful, when I tore all the cloth pockets, I found that the bead-like thing inside was just an ordinary iron ball, and the top of the ball had a lot of rust, rust, and it was still a little uncomfortable to put in my hand.

I threw the iron ball aside, reached into the clothes and touched it again, and after a while, I found a piece of paper from the innermost part of the military coat, took it out and looked at it, only to find that it was an envelope, which had been sealed, and the handwriting on it was still relatively intact, and the text was written in Japanese language.

I couldn't read the Japanese or Japanese characters on the envelope, but I could read the name of the person in the lower right corner of the envelope. The man's name was "Fifty-Two in the Well."
