Chapter 20: The Return of Dragon Ball (Part 3)
Thanks to this corpse that seemed to be a guiding light, I didn't encounter any live corpses along the way, and occasionally there was a sound of sizzling in the nearby grass, and I could see a snake or lizard crawling away quickly, which must have been the work of the witch.
Although there were no dangers along the way, when it got dark, I couldn't walk anymore.
As soon as I stopped, dragon qi corpses flew to my hair, as if I knew I needed to rest.
Mu Tongtong, are you taking care of me? But I didn't know where to rest.
Ignition? Will it lure the corpse in? Climb into a tree? That's even less safe, the dangerous thing in the woods isn't the beasts that can't climb trees.
I was standing there hesitating, and the forest in front of me glowed with a faint blue light, faint, but I could see it clearly in the darkness.
I didn't react to the corpse, so I took a few steps forward.
The trees in front of them were a little thinner, leaving a small clearing, and a pale blue halo rose from the pile of rotting leaves, and when I squinted my eyes for a while, I realized that they were small groups of flying insects, with phosphorescence on their bodies, gathered together like a ball of blue light.
They rose in large swaths and lit up the forest.
The gloomy vines and trees in the day become like a fairyland under the blue light.
Although I was in a dangerous situation, I was also attracted and involuntarily took two steps forward.
After these two steps, I suddenly felt a softness under my feet, and both feet sank to my ankles, and it turned out that this was another swamp, and those beautiful glowing insects flew out of the swamp.
With the experience of the previous times, I was not too afraid, I was about to untie the spider silk rope in my waist to save myself, when suddenly there was a click from the opposite side of the clearing, which was particularly clear in the quiet night, it was the sound of opening the automatic weapon safe.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the muzzle of a black hole sticking out from behind the tree, and then, a, something came out from behind the tree, and if it wasn't for the gun, I wouldn't have recognized it at all...... That person is Yue Wenbin.
Yue Wenbin's current appearance doesn't look like a person at all, except that he still walks upright.
His hair was gone, his shirt was gone, the skin on his face was gone, his nose was gone, his eyelids were gone, his lips were gone, all of them were reddened flesh and black holes, presumably burned by the digestive juices of the serpent. Kind of like Harry Potter's old rival Lord Voldemort.
Yet, miraculously, he was still alive and standing! I remember that he had at least a few broken ribs when he was dragged away by the serpent, but he was still standing, albeit a little bent...... This is enough to prove that his ribs are absolutely broken...... There is absolutely no delay and difficulty in the action! That's too ...... It's unbelievable! Yue Wenbin saw that I recognized him and laughed.
I don't know if it's a laugh or not, because he doesn't have a nose, Yue Wenbin's voice is more like a snorting exhalation in his throat, he is also slurred when he speaks, and there is a sharp exhalation like a whistle at the end: "See you again." "I didn't dare to move.
It's not because of the muzzle...... Although Yue Wenbin pointed the gun at me, the barrel of the gun was already a little bent, and I wondered if it could shoot normally...... But Yue Wenbin's appearance made me feel terrible from the bottom of my heart, it was horror against an "inhuman".
Yue Wenbin was slowly walking to the open space, those flying insects with phosphorescent light were not afraid of people, they were flying around him, so the pale blue light was trapped around Yue Wenbin, so that I could see clearly: the reddened place on Yue Wenbin's head and face did not look like exposed flesh, but as if it was covered with a layer of reddened skin, which looked and felt thick, like ...... I can't describe what it feels like, but it doesn't look like human skin, but like some kind of reptilian skin.
Yue Wenbin compared the gun, slowly moved from head to foot, and from foot to head, like a cat playing with a mouse, after a while, the skin of the place that was originally the lips was lifted, revealing two rows of white miserable teeth, which made me tremble: "You are walking very fast!" I subconsciously cleared my throat.
I once saw an article on Sister Xiao Mo before, saying that if you are kidnapped or threatened, you should try to talk to terrorists, because some terrorists are psychologically repressed and cause manic crimes, and a long silence may exacerbate this mania...... I think this makes some sense, especially Yue Wenbin, I think Yue Wenbin definitely belongs to the kind of manic and weird person in his heart now, so I also want to say a few words to ease the atmosphere.
But as soon as he coughed, Yue Wenbin suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at himself, and pulled the trigger sharply in his hand.
Click...... His nerves were stretched to the extreme, and he knew that it was impossible to dodge the bullet, but he still subconsciously wanted to retreat.
Because his feet were still stuck in the swamp, he threw himself back like this, and sat down on the ground.
But the trigger just went off like that, no bullets came out, and the magazine was empty...... Yue Wenbin laughed out loud, leaning forward and back with laughter, as if it scared me, which was an extremely funny thing.
It's just that I can't really say it's a laugh like that, I only see a crack in my face, and in the crack are two rows of white miserable teeth, and then from the crack comes a kind of whistle-like movement, which makes people shudder.
Yue Wenbin himself laughed and casually raised the gun again, and his mouth made a "pop" simulated gunshot, as if he was having a good time.
After playing so happily for a long time, he put away his smile, threw the gun to the side casually, and showed a fierce light in his eyes: "What about Mu Tongtong's stinky girl?" "I sat on the ground and felt my body slowly sinking into the swamp.
At this moment, I suddenly had an idea...... Since the gun is useless, why not lure Yue Wenbin over? He has a rope, but Yue Wenbin doesn't have it, and now he has only one rope left to save himself.
Just get stuck in the swamp and see how you can climb out! I had the bottom of my heart, so I was not so afraid, and I made up my mind, and replied, "She is making a fire over there, and she wants to come and find something to eat." Yue Wenbin stretched out his tongue and licked it when he heard "eating", "In the faint blue light of his lips, he didn't seem to realize that his tongue was thin and long, and the color was still purple and black, not like a human tongue at all, and it could almost lick it on his chin when he stretched it out."
Yue Wenbin didn't seem to be aware of it, and exhaled sizzly: "The good things are all in your backpack." "Suddenly something was wrong.
Yue Wenbin's sizzling voice is really not something that people can bring out when they speak, but it seems to be...... It seems to be the sound of reptiles, especially snakes.
Thinking of his chin-length tongue, he suddenly remembered what Mu Tongtong once said: On this dragon vein, all creatures are devouring their own kind, and they are all materials for raising dragons.
So if Yue Wenbin is like this now, will it also be mutated? How did he escape from the serpent? Is it also ...... Engulf? He swallowed the serpent? This is really terrifying! But his long, purple-black tongue resembled a reptile.
Yue Wenbin didn't know what I was thinking, and slowly walked over to me: "Where did you put the food?" "I feel strange again.
The backpack is on me, such a big backpack, even if it is night, with the light of these phosphorescent insects, Yue Wenbin should be able to see it, why do you still ask? Did he think the food wasn't in the backpack? "At her place." I casually pointed behind me.
While slowly standing up, he stared nervously at Yue Wenbin's feet, and suddenly made a movement to run.
Yue Wenbin was really fooled, and suddenly quickened his pace: "Want to run? Just a few steps, Yue Wenbin had already reached the middle of the glade, in fact, he had only walked two steps into the swamp, but because he rushed too quickly, by the time he found out, the mud had sunk to his knees, trapping himself in the middle of the clearing.
I let out a long sigh of relief.
Now there is a distance of about thirty meters between himself and Yue Wenbin, and everyone is knee-jerk, but they have ropes, and they are on the edge of the swamp, very close to the trees next to them.
Yue Wenbin moved for a moment and pulled out one foot, but then the other foot sank deeper, and he took two more steps forward like this, and the mud had risen to the middle of his thigh.
And I had untied the rope of spider silk, hung on a nearby tree, and pulled myself up with great difficulty, and looked like I was about to get out of trouble.
The sizzling voice in Yue Wenbin's throat suddenly became louder, like a snake spitting out a letter, and the purple-black tongue also stretched out.
I pulled the silk rope in my hand and looked back.
At this glance, I saw an extremely strange scene: Yue Wenbin fell down, lying on the swamp with his limbs outstretched.
It was only then that I was horrified to discover that there was a thin layer of skin between Yue Wenbin's outstretched fingers, just like the limbs of a lizard.
Lying on the swamp like this, the pressure was immediately dispersed, and the whole body no longer sank.
Then he slowly swung his body, like a snake, and gradually pulled out the two legs that were stuck in the mud.
A cold sweat broke out on my back.
Yue Wenbin stirred, and more phosphorescent insects flew out of the swamp, illuminating the open space even brighter.
Now he can tell that the red skin on Yue Wenbin's head and face is actually full of thin snake-like scales.
He's not a human anymore, maybe a lizardman...... My hand pulling at the silk rope stopped.
I supposedly should have pulled myself out of the swamp and fled for my life at this time, but something else suddenly occurred to my mind...... This scene seems familiar...... Is it exploring and discovering? It is said that in a town under Larimer County, Loveland, Colorado, Ohio, USA, strange things are frequent. According to eyewitness accounts, the frogmen, the green-clawed monsters of Indiana, and the lizardmen, gathered in the area like three brothers, after all, they are all amphibious creatures, with scales, webbed or claws, and no hair on the top of their heads.
On May 25, 1955, at half past three in the morning, a driver saw three dwarfs on the way home, he stopped the car and came out to see, only to be surprised to find that these three things were not people, but with strange chests, mouths like frogs, wrinkles on the head, and a glowing thing, similar to a device, the driver decided to call the police, and when the police arrived, no trace was found. On March 3, 1972, two Loveland policemen encountered the frogman again, also in the early hours of the morning, at first they thought it was a dog, but it stood up, about 4 meters high, and looked similar to what the driver in front of him had witnessed, the guy walked along the embankment towards the Miami River, and two weeks later, one of the two policemen encountered the ghost again, this time he shot it, but it didn't hit, and let it run away. There was suspicion that it was a diver selling drugs, but no media attention was paid to the height issue, and the traffickers either hired children or dwarfs to wear diving suits. And if it's a drug dealer, why wear such a strange costume? Isn't that very conspicuous to pull hatred? And why is it always that place?
Later, people found something similar in the neighborhood, which was classified as a lizardman, Bigfoot and the like, at that time it was the era when the Japanese tried to buy the United States, and some investigators hired by the Japanese consortium thought that it was the legendary kappa in Japan, it seems that it did have a little taste, the Japanese kappa was originally described as a child, with a turtle shell on its back, and a dish on the top of the head in the recess, this dish is the main feature of the kappa, and it is also where the demonic power lies, as long as the water in the dish is not dry, it is infinitely powerful, It is even possible to wrestle with people on land, but from this main feature, we can also know a little bit of the mystery of its origins, and the Japanese kappa has a saying that it is a demon spirit imported from China, and according to many aspects it has this characteristic. For example, in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were many monsters, and even the important minister Wen Qiao returned to Jiangzhou and walked to Niuzhu Rock, seeing that the water was unfathomable, it was said that there were many monsters underwater, and Wen Qiao asked people to light the rhino horn and go into the water to take care of it. After a while, I saw monsters in the water coming to cover the fire, strange shapes, and those wearing red clothes in horse-drawn carriages, just like an undersea city. Wen Qiao was suffered by a monster and died less than ten years after arriving in the town at the age of forty-two.
Therefore, the imperial courts of the Northern and Southern Dynasties have made friends with Dan Dao, beware of the strange, Liu Yiqing of the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty specially collected the disciples to compile the "Youming Lu", which specifically mentioned the "water worm", also known as the "insect boy" or "water spirit", its naked human body, different lengths and sizes, eyes, ears, nose, tongue and lips, wearing a basin on the head, receiving three or five feet of water, only the water is brave, and the water is not brave, and until now, the legend of this kind of demon spirit in China has not disappeared, but the identity has changed to a monster of a water monkey, and there is no symbolic bowl on the head. Now Japan, eastern China, and the coastal areas of Fujian basically have its legends.
What I thought about was what would I have become if I had made it to the end, entered the stone chamber, and killed the mutated animals that competed with me? Could it be like Yue Wenbin, who mutated into something that is not human, and that insects are not insects? This thought was just a flash, and he immediately understood that he shouldn't think about this at this time, but Yue Wenbin had already pulled his body out of the mud completely.
Immediately after, he landed on all fours and ran on the mud of the swamp.
I remember there was an episode in "Discovery and Discovery" about Jesus the Lizard.
It's a little green lizard-like thing that can run on the water.
The membrane between the toes distributes the pressure and keeps them from sinking.
They run in strange postures, swaying from side to side in a zigzag pattern, with their limbs outward, and their tails to control their direction.
Now Yue Wenbin's movements are exactly the same as those lizards, except that he has no tail and crawls quickly on the mud surface.
If this matter were put on a normal basis, I would probably laugh to death, but now I not only can't laugh, but I am also scared to death.
Yue Wenbin's movements were extremely flexible, and as soon as I stood on the hard ground, Yue Wenbin pounced on me.
I am glad that although Yue Wenbin has become a reptile, he has not had time to grow poisonous fangs.
However, he didn't dare to be bitten by Yue Wenbin, so he hurriedly resisted Yue Wenbin's jaw to prevent his head from being bitten off.
Everyone was rolling on the edge of the swamp.
I found that Yue Wenbin no longer knows how to pinch the neck of his opponent like a human, in addition to the webbed membrane on his hands, the nails at the ends of his fingers also seem to have degenerated, and he can't scratch them with his nails if he wants to.
He was tightly clamped, and his two legs were also wrapped around himself, in an extremely ...... The extremely misleading posture entangles me to death, like a snake wrapping around a man, and at the same time opens its mouth to bite me.
And my body became very soft, but the muscles were extremely solid, and I was bound by myself, and the taste was similar to being entangled by a snake, and I couldn't breathe.
I didn't have this kind of outlaw to fight, and Yue Wenbin was now so powerful that he had completely gained the upper hand for a while.
I held my chin with one hand to keep myself from being bitten, and scratched at the ground with the other.
Yue Wenbin's two legs were wrapped around his waist, and he pressed the universal knife hanging on his belt, unable to pull it out.
He finally touched a branch, picked it up and stabbed it in Yue Wenbin's eyes.
I didn't even stab it in the first time! Only then did he realize that although Yue Wenbin no longer had eyelids, his eyeballs were covered with a transparent film, which was still very tough, and a broken branch could not be broken.
But although it can't be broken, the pain still hurts, Yue Wenbin involuntarily leaned back, his hand was released, and he took the opportunity to break out of his upper body, pressed Yue Wenbin to his lower head, and desperately pressed the other party's head into the mud.
Yue Wenbin fluttered like a fish out of water, and I pressed the weight of my whole body on it, and I didn't let go.
If it were an ordinary person, his face would be suffocated after being pressed in the mud for a few minutes, but after I pressed it for five minutes, Yue Wenbin was still fluttering. I was horrified to find that in just a few minutes, two teeth in his mouth had indeed grown.
I really couldn't hold it back, and as soon as I loosened it slightly, Yue Wenbin, who had become a half-human and half-beast, turned over violently, and threw himself out instead.
