Chapter 25 Fragrant

(Sorry for being late, but will continue tomorrow)

It's a dead man. But if it was just a dead person, a person like a fat man who had read countless corpses would not be so surprised. And for me, I followed the fat man to rob two tombs. But I don't dare to say that I have read countless corpses, but that is also a big nerve for corpses. But when I saw the corpse for the first time in the fat man's gaze, I couldn't help but gasp.

Probably because the weather was too hot, the dead man was wearing only a pair of underpants. The rest of the skin exposed to the air, and even the entire face, all took on a faint yellow color. And if you look closely, you will see that his skin is even a little transparent. The whole person was like a balloon filled with water, and the inside of the body had melted into water except for the skin.

The fat man frowned, drew his dagger, crouched down, and then lightly slashed the dead man's arm with the tip of his knife. I saw that where the tip of the knife cut, the skin was immediately cut. The yellowish liquid flowed down the wound.

For some reason, looking at this pale yellow liquid, I suddenly thought of broth.

I was stunned for a moment, wondering how I could have thought of this food, and then reflexively wanted to vomit. But before I could vomit, the fat man grabbed me: "Okay, don't fucking pretend." The corpse did not smell of decay. ”

I was stunned again, sniffed, and realized that there really wasn't that disgusting rancid smell. And I went to the side of the wound and smelled it, strangely, still no.

"Damn, what's going on?" I looked at the fat man, "Could it be that this man just died?" ”

The fat man shook his head: "It doesn't look like it." As he spoke, the fat man carefully broke the dead man's face towards us, and then he was about to roll his eyelids. But this sentence, the whole body of the corpse has melted very badly. No matter how careful the fat man was, the man's face and neck were broken. All of a sudden, the pale yellow juice began to trickle out.

I don't know if I haven't had a good rest for too long, and my brain is wrong. Or is this the case? As the juice slowly trickled out of the dead man's body, I smelled a very strong fragrance.

Damn, when did Lao Tzu become so perverted and have an appetite when he saw a dead man? I pinched my face to keep myself awake. But after pinching, I realized that the smell seemed to be real. It's not an illusion.

"Fatty," I said, "do you think?"

Before I could finish speaking, the fat man nodded: "That's right, it's so fragrant." ”

It doesn't seem like I'm having a problem with my sense of smell. "How so?"

The fat man shook his head. At this time, he also succeeded in opening the eyelids of the dead man.

The moment my eyelids were opened, I noticed that the person's eyes were completely cloudy. This is a sign that you have been dead for a long time. The pupils of a person who has just died are dilated, and the eyes of a person who has been dead for a long time must be cloudy. It's like the eyeballs and whites of the eyes are fused together.

The fat man lowered his eyelids and carefully turned the corpse over again to examine it carefully. But in the process of turning over, he scratched a few more skins. The rich fragrance instantly filled the entire tent.

The fat man and I subconsciously covered our mouths and noses and retreated. But after waiting outside the tent for a while, we realized that we didn't feel any discomfort from the smell.

I looked at the fat man, and the fat man looked at me, and then tilted his head. Meaning, go, go ahead and get to the bottom of it.

I followed the fat man back to the tent, and found that the juice inside the whole corpse was almost dry. There was a large puddle of large yellow liquid dripping from the ground.

The fat man cautiously walked around the liquid and went to observe the corpse again. After a while, I saw the fat man stand up and say, "Judging from the time of this man's death, it must have been five or six days ago." As he spoke, the fat man touched his chin and said, "This shows that this camp seems to have been abandoned for a long time." ”

"That's not right." I said, "If they leave, even if the body can't be taken away." All the equipment and equipment in the camp should be taken away, right? ”

The fat man thought for a moment and said slowly, "That'...... What if your uncle and they escape? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the fat man meant. "You mean, they met the same bugs we encountered here, and then they were forced to abandon the camp and escape?" "But after that, I have a feeling that something is wrong. After thinking about it, I found a flaw. Then he asked the fat man: "If they encountered those bugs, then this person should have been bitten to death by those bugs." But this man's death is different from what we've seen before. As I spoke, I looked at the dead man lying on the ground again: "When this man died, his whole body melted, like a balloon." I don't want to be attacked to death by those bugs. And the dead people I met before didn't smell so good. ”

The fat man nodded and looked at me with appreciation: "Yes, the young man knows that he is analyzing the problem." Reward you with a little red flower. ”

I rolled my eyes and told him to fart less, and quickly said.

"Your uncle, they abandoned this corpse and fled, this inference should be reliable." The fat man said. "But as for whether they were attacked by bugs or something else. It's hard to say. Although the mystery of the lightning strike in this canyon has been revealed, some mysterious phenomena are still a mystery. It's like the bugs we encountered. You say, how can there be such arrogant bugs in nature? Its posture that even people dare to take the initiative to attack, if it is placed in nature, it is not against the sky. ”

I nodded, and so did my heart. Then he looked at the fat man: "Then what should we do now?" My uncle, they're long gone. It's like they fled, but I think it's possible that they went inside the ancient temple. ”

The fat man took the dagger and wiped it on the tent, then put it into the scabbard: "What else does this say, this place is definitely not safe." Let's either go into the ancient temple, and then find the entrance to the underground palace inside. Otherwise, you'll have to go back the way you came, and come back next time with more awesome equipment. So saying, the fat man walked out of the tent, crossed his waist and looked around the camp, and asked me, "I don't know if you have found anything." ”

I walked out and took a look around. Although I always felt a little strange in my heart, I couldn't say it for a while. So he asked the fat man, "What?" ”

"There is no trace of a bonfire in this camp." The fat man said. "In other words, when your uncle and they arrived here, they didn't stay until the next morning."
