Chapter 18: The Shark Corpse Pit
Gura ...... Gura ......
I crawled so fast this time that some small gravel was stuck in the wound, and it was itchy in pain, and I didn't care if they came with me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was a feeling of force pulling me along and a strange crash as if it were pointing me the way.
Behind him, there was the sound of human breathing and stumbling, and knowing that the two of them were following, they were even more desperate to drill in. Originally, there was a sticky and salty taste of seawater between inhaling and spitting, but as the gurgling sound became clearer and clearer, the smell in the air changed little by little. At first, it was a faint fishy smell, similar to the smell of the strange fish in the stalactite cave, and then gradually turned into a pungent smell of dead rats, and the more I climbed, the more disgusted I became, the stomach acid and bile flowed upstream, stuck in my throat, and just as I was about to vomit, the black rocks in front of me immediately switched to a white light.
I hurriedly shouted, "Yang Qiancai!" After that, the line of sight went blank.
His eyes were stimulated by the sudden white light, and he couldn't focus for a while, and his eyes were white. I only felt my right ankle being pulled by someone, and then I seemed to fall into a puddle of mud, and the first thing I felt was the terrible smell that came to my nose compared to the stimulation of the sticky touch on my body. The strong and pungent smell of dead rats forced me to hold my breath, but I couldn't help it, so I took small breaths through my mouth instead.
I heard the muffled hum of the cart and the gimmick nearby, and the boulder hanging in my heart fell instantly, and I thought we had succeeded. But I couldn't call them out when I opened my mouth, my face was full of disgusting mud, and I was afraid that if I did, I would make my mouth full of stinky mud.
I finally looked around.
"!" I cursed so loudly that I almost didn't freak out.
A half-swollen corpse floated in front of me, and some of the unshed hair on the scalp was sticking to the rotting and wrinkled skin.
Fuck, it's not a mud pit at all, it's a rotting corpse pit.
?
Surrounded by floating corpses that had not yet fully decomposed, those corpses were swollen and white, some of the flesh had been peeled off and separated, some of the bones were exposed, and some of them had even melted into corpse water, I really fucking fell into a puddle of corpses, and the shock was more intense than those crooked human animals.
As soon as I remembered that I was still breathing through my mouth, it felt like I was swallowing these dead bodies, and my abdomen churned even more violently, and the vomiting sensation that had been choked in my throat overflowed completely uncontrollably, and I struggled out of the puddle of corpses. The bones were hooked by clothes, and some of the corpses were brought up together, and I kicked wildly, just to kick the disgusting object away from my side, as far away as possible.
I crawled to the side and vomited so hard that I couldn't even burst out of my tears and snot, and I didn't have the strength to hold myself up.
In my current life, I have also experienced several times of eternal separation from my relatives, and I have seen several corpses. When I'm bored at home, I don't watch CSI less (American Crime Series), although I am not accustomed to corpses, but I didn't expect to face it and I still can't accept it, especially the mutilated rotting corpses.
Qian Cai is not much better, I see that she is also vomiting on the side and is about to turn it over, and what is better than me is that she can still stand up on her own.
At this point, my ankles suddenly felt like they were being pulled, and before I could react, I was dragged in the opposite direction of the grave, and I was thrown into a large pool of water.
It came so suddenly, my mouth was filled with a salty liquid, and I instinctively reflexively held my breath and kicked out of the water, which was not deep, and my feet were still on the ground. My tongue was numb with the bitter taste of seawater, and I gulped vigorously a few times, trying to reduce the bitter and salty taste on my tongue, but it was more than a hundred times better than the dead rat-smelling corpse water.
I shook my head and wiped the water from my face, the soaking of the seawater stinging from my wound. Black corpse water and salty seawater, I choose salty seawater.
Feng Xin looked at the car on the other end, then swept his gaze to me, shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows, and gestured with his hand to ask me to wash off the corpse water on my body. Qian Cai also couldn't wait to jump into the water, constantly holding the water and splashing it on his face, anxious to wash away the stench, the sea water was crystal clear, the wonderful thing was that the bitter and salty taste and the smell of rotting corpses did not contradict each other, and melted into an indescribable taste. It smells very bad, but I can't help it, I can't breathe or not, so I have to endure it for as long as I can.
"This smells disgusting, you, turn around." Qian Cai was soaked in the water, and only one head was left on the surface of the water and yelled at me. I realized she wanted to undress, answered her and turned to the shore.
Although the pool is full of seawater, the rocks on the periphery have obvious traces of polishing, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the polishing is not very smooth, and the original roughness of the rocks is still retained, and the whole feeling is like an artificial beach.
Ziche took off his shirt, wrung it out and wiped his hair, I did the same, but the clothes were already in tatters, and it was even more serious when I twisted it hard, and it was even more serious to wipe the hair, and I couldn't resist it and then wear it back, and the shoes were kicked away by me, and the shoes soaked in the black corpse water were washed clean, and I was not interested in wearing them, not to mention that these shoes were still a little foot-eating.
The farther I went to shore, the stronger the stench became, and I resisted a little.
But apparently there were people who were not affected by the rancid stench at all, Feng Xin sat on the shore, stroked his long hair, "It's really slow."
"Educating newcomers is not an easy task." Ziche shrugged, pointed at me with his chin, and glanced at me.
He continued, "You're really not funny, just leave someone and leave, so you can take one with you." It seems that he was reluctant to follow me.
The first time I saw the two of them chatting, I thought it was a novelty.
Feng Xin pulled his hair behind his ears, his hair was green and waist-high, and it was still wet and difficult to tidy up, so he had to let his hair hang down. He shook his head and smiled, "Because I'm not sure, this cave is quite unusual, and I was probably able to come in because I bled in the cave and it felt like a seal." As he spoke, he raised his left palm, and there was a cut wound.
"Do you have the bottom of your heart?" Ziche raised an eyebrow.
"Nope. Look, the corpses." Looking at Feng Xin's eyes, I felt the urge to vomit when I saw the rotting corpses full of pits.
Ziche squinted and didn't speak, and then Qian Cai also came up, and the scratches on her thighs were soaked in the seawater. I guess she'd rather die in the sea than be stinky to death by the corpse water, just like me.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Those are not human corpses, they are mermaids, although they are mutilated, but it can be seen that their fish scales have been forcibly stripped off, and their purpose should be to seal the skin of the tomb." Feng Xin said lightly.
"Holy! Shouldn't that be a long time ago? Why hasn't the corpse decomposed?" I think of fur, and I wonder if these mermaids were skinned after death or ...... I can't help but feel a little hairy when I think about it. How much skin can a mermaid peel off? Look at the corpse pit, there are enough to choke on.
Ziche replied, "Maybe the physiology of mermaids and ordinary people is not the same."
"It seems to me that the more I look at it, the less it looks like a tomb, more like a prison, they have sealed something here, and those mermaids are the victims of this." Feng Xin said.
I remembered what Qian Yu said, "They gave up here for some reason." It seems that they have not only given up here, but also determined not to come back.
I looked at the pile of corpses, indeed, the skulls and skeletons of those corpses felt larger than the average person, and it was more obvious that the upper jaw even had a pair of fangs, the humerus of the upper limbs was also disproportionately long, and there were some skeletal remains that I couldn't recognize. I was too frightened to notice these details when I was in the grave just now.
Feng Xin tied her hair back, "The point is what they want to hide."
In this ancient beach, I kept staring at the corpse pit, gradually getting used to the smell of dead rats, and thought to myself that this was the smell of fish corpses mixed with human corpses.
Somehow, a bone deprived me of all my attention, and I walked up to see that it was a shinbone, and in an instant a chill spread from the soles of my feet to my back.
The tibia, a bone that a mermaid shouldn't have.
