Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Mass Grave
Looking at the stones again, my heart is furious. These messy things like broken stones, are all human bones?
"Ah, look at this, isn't it a skull?" Tian Xin screamed again, and suddenly kicked a "stone" under his feet away.
If you look closely, the slightly flattened "stone" does look like a broken celestial spirit cover. Another "stone" that was hit looked like a half-amputated tibia of the leg.
I felt a shudder, and glanced at Tian Xin again. This is the first time I've seen her scared like this, her expression is a little dull, her whole body is trembling, and it makes people feel distressed.
I sighed, put my arm around her shoulder, patted her on the back, and whispered a few words of comfort. Tian Xin was frightened, and now she was the most vulnerable.
After Tian Xin's mood calmed down a bit, I squatted down and picked up a stone from the ground. I tapped it with my finger and sniffed it near my nose, and I suddenly shuddered, this is really a bone!
There is no doubt that Tian Xin saw something extremely terrifying, so he was frightened and his spirit collapsed a little. In this case, her words are generally not worth trusting, and at most they should be used as a reference.
If I hadn't been cautious enough to really check the "stones" on the ground, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed Tian Xin's words at all, and I just felt that she was talking nonsense.
Several "stones" were picked up in a row, and after examination, without exception, these were all fragments of bones. Could it be that Tian Xin's words are true? Aren't Da Meng and Xiao Bai more than lucky?
I was anxious and eager to learn more from Tian Xin. It's a pity that Tian Xin's spirit is already very sluggish and can't withstand the stimulation.
No matter how gentle my tone is, no matter how tactful my inquiry is. As soon as this stubble is mentioned, Tian Xin will scream and burrow into my arms.
This situation is the most frustrating, and I even tried to use a requiem charm to completely stabilize Tian Xin's emotions. However, the requiem was used on her body, but it had no effect.
In desperation, I could only try my best to comfort Tian Xin first. After calming down, she gently fell into my arms, sometimes her body twitching slightly, which was a trembling of fear.
"Tick tock......" I don't know when, a slight dripping sound sounded in my ears.
At first, I was busy comforting Tian Xin, and I didn't care about the slight noise. It was probably after Tian Xin lay on my chest, quietly as if asleep, that I noticed the sound of water droplets.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sound of water droplets seems to be getting clearer and clearer. I looked around blankly, even staring at the running water above my head for a long time, but there was no source of the dripping sound.
"Smack!" With a bang, water dripped on my face.
My heart trembled, is it really leaking? Kidding, we're at the bottom of the river right now, and if all the water leaks out of it, the whole space will soon be flooded.
I still don't quite understand how this space came to be, but I'm sure that if the water poured in overhead, the two of us would not be able to withstand the strong pressure and would be crushed to death here.
No matter how good my water skills are, it is impossible for me to escape in that situation, let alone I still have Tian Xin with me now. With her current condition, if there is a real emergency, the two of us will definitely be in a hurry.
"Isn't it? It's quite dry here, and there shouldn't have been a water leak time, so why did we leak as soon as we came? I muttered to myself and wiped the drops of water from my cheeks with my hand.
No, when the water dripped on my face, it was warm and seemed to smell fishy. I looked down and saw a blush on my fingers.
Subconsciously raised my head, and I was startled: "Damn, ghost!" ”
A bloody face hung over my head for some reason. In a panic, I grabbed Tian Xin's arm and desperately hid backwards.
What was dripping on my face just now was not water at all, but blood still carrying body temperature. Taking a few steps back, I noticed that the face was also somewhat familiar.
"Da Meng, you are ...... Big Fierce? "I was amazed.
Da Meng's familiar face was now a blur of flesh and blood. The skin on his face was so badly broken that it was almost impossible to see the original appearance, and if I wasn't familiar enough with him, I probably wouldn't have recognized it.
"Hiss, hiss......" opened his mouth violently, revealing his white teeth.
He should still be conscious now, his eyes are extremely complex, and there is a strong desire to survive. He stared at me so hard that his lips squirmed, but he couldn't make a normal sound.
"Ahh Hell, devil is going to eat us! Tian Xin woke up again and roared hoarsely.
She clung to the hem of my shirt, and the bruises on her arms were very hard. Her screams were too loud, her voice was severely affected, and her whole body trembled violently.
I glanced at Tian Xin, gritted my teeth, and suddenly reached out and slapped her on the back of her neck. Immediately afterwards, Tian Xin's body went soft and fell into my arms.
Tian Xin, who fainted at this time, was far easier to deal with than Tian Xin who was awake. Her spirit broke down, and waking up was a big problem.
Looking up, I noticed that the injuries on Da Meng's body were far more serious than those on his face. He no longer has a piece of good flesh in his body, his clothes are not covered, and his skin is open.
From my point of view, Da Meng looked like he was hanging upside down. However, it wasn't the rope that held him around, his feet seemed to be stuck in the running water above his head, and only his body was dangling.
"Da Meng, how are you? Why is this happening? I took a deep breath and felt very uncomfortable.
After a slight hesitation, I put Tian Xin on the ground first and rushed directly towards Da Meng: "Da Meng, you hold on, I'll save you." ”
What I didn't think about was that Da Meng's eyes rolled and shook his head at me: "Hiss, hiss, ......"
He was supposed to want to say something to me, but he couldn't make a normal sound. At this time, I didn't care so much, I just thought about saving him.
I grabbed Da Meng's arm and tried to put Da Meng down. But Da Meng shook his head more violently, and shook me away with all his might.
I was thrown to the ground, and after struggling to get up, I couldn't help frowning: "Da Meng, what's wrong with you?" Are you still awake? ”
"......Shhh I...... Leave me alone, run away......" Da Meng said with great difficulty.
For the current Da Meng, it is definitely not easy to say a word. As he spoke hard, blood oozed from his face and dripped to the ground.
After saying that, there was a "poof", and Da Meng suddenly fell. For a moment, blood splattered, and a complete blood-colored human form was printed on the ground.
"Quick...... Run! Da Meng, who fell to the ground, raised his head and shouted.
His eyes widened, and the light in his eyes flickered. The next moment, Da Meng got up from the ground with agility and pounced on me with his teeth and claws.
Da Meng's eyes had darkened, and in my experience, he had lost consciousness. And looking at Da Meng's current skills, if I resist him, I can't take advantage.
Although I am very sad about the current situation of Dameng, now is definitely not the time to hesitate. I made a quick decision and immediately picked up Tian Xin and dodged the fierce attack.
"Whew!" With a thud, he grabbed me on the back.
There was a burning pain in my back, followed by a warm current gushing out of my back, and even getting hot.
"Whoosh!"
A golden light flew out of me, and by the time I could react, a straight blood streak appeared on Da Meng's face.
The blood streak vertically split Da Meng's face into two halves, and the blood stains slowly cracked, and you could even see the inside of Da Meng's head.
"Sail, thank you! Thank you for freeing me! Da Meng opened his mouth and made a strange sound.
He was smiling, even though his whole face was cracked, but he was smiling at me. From his eyes, I read a lot, some are relieved, some are relaxed, and even have a trace of guilt.
"Nope! How so? "I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Da Meng died, he was killed by me! I just watched his life go by, his eyes closing and never opening again.
"Da Meng, you open your eyes! Open your eyes quickly, how can this be? I rushed forward and hugged Da Meng before he collapsed.
My hands were shaking, but my movements were light and I didn't dare shake them violently. His injuries were too severe to allow for even the slightest injury.
"Da Meng, wake up! Open your eyes, no, you won't......" I was already a little incoherent, and tears fell on Da Meng's body.
"Smack!"
A black thing fell out of the bloody crack on Da Meng's face, which looked like an obese bug, about the thickness of an adult's finger.
However, the worm had broken in two, and dark red juice oozed from the broken place, exuding a fishy smell.
"Fanzi, Da Meng is dead. Look at it, it's not your fault, it's the worm that hurt him! Suddenly, Xiaobai's voice came into his ears.
Mu Ran turned around, and Xiaobai was lying on the ground a few meters away from me, looking up at me with difficulty. He looked very embarrassed, and the injuries on his body were no better than those of Da Meng.
Xiaobai stared at me directly, his eyes were flat, but his tone was full of coldness: "Fanzi, Da Meng has been relieved, you should feel lucky." ”
I hugged the body of Da Meng and froze in place. I vaguely felt that Xiaobai had changed a little, whether it was the tone of his speech or his cold expression, it was a little unfamiliar.
"That's the corpse control worm, it's already invaded Da Meng's head. It has already destroyed Da Meng's brain, and will gradually eat away at Da Meng's corpse until he becomes a pile of bones! Xiaobai explained in an indifferent tone.
It's the worm, and everything is the work of the worm. The insects first controlled Da Meng, and then with the help of Da Meng's corpse, they forcibly brought Xiaobai here.
On the way, Xiaobai struggled, but he was not a fierce opponent after being controlled. That worm has mutilated countless lives, and the broken bones everywhere are ironclad evidence, and this space at the bottom of the river is a mass grave that has buried countless lives!
Xiaobai's explanation sounded very reasonable, and I also believed seven or eight points. I was so immersed in the sad news that Da Meng had died, and I didn't have the energy to analyze the whole thing in detail.
Why did Da Meng die like this? More than an hour ago, he was still a vigorous man, and Xiaobai and I also thought about taking him to Haicheng City after everything was done.
But he is dead now, even if he knows that even after he was invaded by worms, he was already doomed to die. But his death at my hands is also an undeniable fact.
Holding the corpse that was getting cold, my thoughts were extremely complicated. If it were possible, I would rather die the one who was me, how innocent Da Meng was, why die here?
"Fanzi, Da Meng will not die in vain, I will avenge him." Xiaobai stood up and walked towards me step by step.
