Chapter 13 of the Chinese New Year Short Story

The closer the footsteps go, the harder my hand grabbed the bowstring, and I naturally knew the pros and cons of the bow and arrow as a long-range weapon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Appeared! Faintly, a white figure slowly walked inward from the white jade gate. Closer...... Closer...... I gritted my teeth, suppressed the timidity in my heart, and pulled the bowstring tightly with all my strength without moving. I'll have to wait until it's within 100% range of me that I can kill with a single hit before I can shoot this life-threatening silver arrow!

The clear sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, like a song composed by the Grim Reaper, so that the strange patterns and symbols originally engraved around the corridor also danced and sang this march of death. The atmosphere in the corridor was already extremely strange, and my back was cold like never before......

Here it comes! I took a deep breath, concentrating all my attention, no longer distracted by the strange atmosphere around me, and staring at the white figure in front of me that was becoming clearer and clearer.

it! In the next second, I finally saw the white-haired corpse clearly, but I couldn't help but let out an exclamation. I could see its blackened face, with no nose and no lips! See its green, breathtaking eyes! I could see its shriveled body covered with white hair and its extremely sharp nails! I could see the silver axe that shone with a cold light in its hand! ...... It turned out to be the strange corpse with an axe......

There is a saying that there is nowhere to find when you step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, but for me at this time, I don't have the heart to congratulate myself on finding this axe corpse so quickly. All my energy and brainpower, the moment I saw it, was focused on how to kill it with one arrow.

My hands trembled a little, and my mind began to answer myself with some confusion: Where to shoot? Where will it kill it with one hit?! Heart? No, no, the heart target is too small, and I'm not sure if this monster really has a heart. Where to shoot that? How else can you die with one blow? Where? Right! Head! Headshot! As long as you get a headshot, you will definitely die!

I saw the axe corpse, so naturally it saw me. The moment the axe corpse saw me clearly, he stopped and stood in place, and the moment the strange footsteps disappeared! Without the slightest hesitation, I let go of the bowstring of the life-and-death battle......

The arrow turned into a silver light and shot out, heading straight for the door of the axe's strange corpse! I had used almost all my strength with this arrow, and at such a close distance I was convinced that it would not miss a single bit, and I was absolutely 100% sure that it would pierce the charred head of the axe corpse. But what I never expected was that the next second I shot this arrow with confidence, a strange scene was staged again......

As if he could guess the trajectory of the arrow, the axe corpse sat on the ground without warning in the midst of the lightning and flint! In an instant, the arrow flew straight above its head and disappeared outside the white jade gate, and then, there was a crisp loud sound!

Dog day! What's the matter, I can't believe my eyes, so close, to miss? How can it be?! It's impossible!

I don't have to think about it anymore, the silver axe glowing with the cold light of the forest has already launched a fierce attack on me, slashing at me, and the axe corpse obviously does not intend to give me any chance to escape.

Damn it! It's over! I was so shocked that I hurriedly parried with the bowstring in my hand. The axe corpse seemed to be furious by my previous arrow, and the teeth without lips kept making a strange "clucking" scream, and the axe in his hand was close to slashing at me frantically.

I really can't remember too many details about the fight, because I was already scared myself.

What was that experience like? The sight of a strange and furious monster, no nose, no lips, green eyes glaring at you, and a shriveled hand with long sharp nails, holding an axe, and constantly slashing at you, is simply terrifying.

I'm afraid that anyone, in the face of such a terrifying strange corpse, will be beaten and lose even the slightest strength to fight back......

The only thing I remember vividly was the indescribable, heart-rending pain in my neck at the end of the battle, and then there was a blank space in my brain. And in my eyes it was like, like, maybe...... Seeing his headless body, he fell straight to the ground......

Conscious...... Slowly recover, the first thing to feel...... That's right, it's the cold feeling of something on one cheek......

I closed my eyes and remained in this position, lying on my stomach inside the sarcophagus, not wanting to move any more. It was an unprecedented exhaustion, not only physical, but also spiritual, and sure enough, in the end, I was back in this sarcophagus......

What the hell am I doing...... Why do I have to go to my damn subconscious to find some damn truth! Perhaps, I will never be able to solve this terrible illusion in my life. Perhaps, I was destined to become a vegetative person, forever experiencing the cycle of life and death in my subconscious. Why? Why! Why is fate unwilling to let me go, let me keep that comfort? All I want is a peaceful life......

The faces of relatives and friends came to mind one by one, and after painful failures again and again, the persistence I once had had been exhausted, and I could no longer control my emotions, tears slanted out and slipped to the bottom of the coffin.

How many people, in the face of the coming difficulties, are full of pride and indomitable courage. How many people have been smoothed out by failure in difficulties, and finally succumbed to fate and chose to give up.

Things in the world are sometimes not so complicated, the difference between winning and losing, losing and winning may only be a millimeter, and this so-called millimeter is just the initial insistence, nothing more......

I don't remember how long I cried in this sarcophagus, all those courages, beliefs, persistence, everything, all fell into collapse at this moment, and I unscrupulously vented my emotions and depression. I think even the strongest man will have a sad side in his heart, and what about me? I'm really in the depths of my heart now......

After a long time, I sat up and slapped myself hard, the stinging sensation of redness and swelling in my cheeks woke me up from my loss and reaffirmed the persistence in my heart.

The key, which I had kept in my arms, was once again missing, but for me, it didn't matter anymore. I stood up, a surge of blood spreading through my chest, I would no longer be afraid of any strangeness in this illusion, since it was within my own consciousness, then I should be the one who was feared by all monsters! Even if I die a thousand times, I'll solve it all, because I'm the master here!

I turned out of the sarcophagus and moved my muscles and bones, courage is such a thing, there is really a kind of magic, once ignited, it will spread along the blood all over the body, so that the fear will completely disappear, let the dawn of fearlessness guide the hope to move forward.

Without hesitation, I took a firm step towards the small bronze door of the burial chamber again......
