Chapter 223: Corpse Shell

This is a corpse shell, and as the name suggests, this is an animal that eats corpses, especially those that love to eat people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sharp barbs on its small melon seeds could easily scratch the carcass into minced flesh and then weep for a feast.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government developed an ancient tomb in Hubei, where there lived a large nest of corpse shells, the first time I saw it, the archaeologists did not know what this thing was, came up to see it, as a result, this nest of corpses climbed onto the legs of an archaeologist, and instantly bit the calf of the archaeologists to expose the white bones, fortunately, this group of people was many, and they got these corpses down with their hands and feet, and trampled them to death.

This is a fact that my mentor also talked about this incident, and there are articles in the book that reported on it at the time.

Since there is a corpse shell here, there must be a nest hidden somewhere, and my leg is injured, and if there are dozens of these things all of a sudden, I really can't handle it.

I carefully studied the terrain behind me, there were no cracks in the stones, and it was unlikely that the husks would come out, so I was relieved to lean on.

Then I thought about another question, the main food of the husk is the corpse, whether it is animal or human, it always has to eat, it can appear in this hole, there must be its food here.

I sniffed carefully, and it seemed that there was a real stench of corpses, drowned in the damp and messy smell at the bottom of the cave, but the smell was so ethereal that I couldn't tell where the source was.

This place is said to be a forbidden place of death, and I used the dagger to insert it in order in the surrounding stone walls, and suddenly the dagger sank into the gravel, and it broke, and I suddenly felt bad.

As I pulled out my dagger, two shells squeezed out of the gap between the daggers, and I slashed them one at once, killing them before they could get close.

As I expected, dozens crawled out one after another behind these two husks, like a black tide.

Oh my God, with my leg wounded, so many enemies popping up almost killed me.

I didn't think about it with my brain, I climbed up and killed a few with a dagger, and some of the shells had crawled to the injured legs, but fortunately with the protection of the pig bones, those shells didn't eat my flesh for the time being, so I hurriedly used the back of the dagger to pull them down.

I moved a rock, smashed some of the husks, dragged my wounded leg, crawled to the other side, picked up a boar's leg bone as a weapon, and pulled out the husks that crawled towards me one by one.

Although this weapon could not kill the corpse shells for a while, it was much more powerful than the dagger, and sometimes it could throw out five or six corpse shells that crawled over at the same time.

My other hand was not idle, and I used the fire fold as a weapon and burned it to the corpse shell, which was afraid of the fire and slowed down the attack for a while.

It took a lot of effort, and finally, their offensive momentum was blocked, and it became a stalemate.

This is their territory, and I can't use them.

For the time being, I used the fire to frighten them, but after a while, they realized that the fire was not enough to kill them, and they would definitely come back and attack me more frantically.

While they were frightened, I threw another stone at them, killing two of them, causing them to stir up for a while, but finally they didn't attack again.

I threw rocks one after another, killing a dozen of them one after another, until I had picked up all the rocks around me, and there were still a dozen of them left, basically posing no threat to me.

The remaining dozen or so corpse shells, looking at my big fat meat, just couldn't eat it, and gradually gave up, began to retreat one after another, and ran away after a while.

When the alarm was lifted, my nose smelled a strong smell of corpses, needless to say, it was all wafting from the place where the corpse had crawled out, which seemed to be a hole.

I crawled over and hollowed out the place with a dagger, revealing a black hole, and a strong stench of corpses rushed out of it.

I pinched my nose, this smell, really rushed!

The light of the fire reached inside, and there were two very decomposed corpses as far as my eye could see, and it was no longer obvious that the appearance of men, women, and grades was long gone.

How could there be anyone in this hole?

To be sure, the two highly decomposed corpses were definitely human, and could not be any other animal.

Who are they? How could you die here?

How could this trap-like hole be separated from a hole with dead bodies only by a wall?

Without thinking much about these brain-burning questions, I feel that this is a place where it is possible to get out, especially if I have bad legs and feet, and this seems to be a hidden passage that can take me to.

I dragged my legs and crawled over, and there were a few shells in the cave that saw me come in and swished into the darkness.

The first thing I wanted to find out was who these two bodies were, how did they get in, and why did they die here? Can I follow their path to the ground?

These are two corpses of Qing Dynasty people, because there are faint braids that can also be judged, but there is no way to distinguish the specific person of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

The tools these two men brought in were very special, and I was familiar with them, the ones that the traditional Captain Touching Gold had: probes, crowbars, compasses, ropes, and other necessities for tomb robbing.

It seems that this ancient tomb is hidden in this cave, otherwise Captain Jin would not have been running in vain to explore.

I don't know what caused them to die here, could it be a husk?

Can these dozens of husks kill these two people so easily?

Obviously not so easy.

I'm too busy to take care of myself, what else can I do to help them collect their bodies? Two seniors who touched gold, rest here in peace.

Because the bodies were so decomposed, it was impossible to see the cause of their death.

I picked up a few things on them, like crawling on the other end of the hole, how I wish there was an exit there, and get me back to the surface quickly.

That leg was injured, so I crawled very full, and if my luck was a little bit worse, I'm afraid there would be a corpse here, and the probability of this kind of thing happening is quite high.

I tried my best to climb out of this hole as quickly as possible, but it wasn't fun at all, and I didn't know if there was another group of corpses.

"Hey, heyβ€”" Two sneers suddenly floated out of the darkness.

It was a gloomy voice.

What is a gloomy voice?

For example, when we speak, we are all modulated and frustrated, with high and low tones, so that it seems emotional and rendering.

The cold voice is a very flat tone, without any emotion, and a very mechanical sound.

Is it human? Is it a ghost?

I was frightened and stunned.

Other animals are not scary at all, but the most feared thing is human voices. (To be continued.) )
