Chapter Seventy-Two: Blood Demon
In the unusually silent pit, the sudden sound of the rolling waves in the blood river sounded as if amplified by a megaphone, and our nerves were tensed to the limit.
"There's something in the river!" I looked at Lu Dachuan trembling all over.
Lu Dachuan held a flashlight in one hand and shone it on the fence, and waved it back with the other hand and whispered, "Go back." β
I gave Lin Xian'er a look, she came over to replace me, and Lu Keqin and Lu Keqin took Liu Chang's legs and turned around and retreated to the corner of the high platform and stairs that we had just walked out. I drew my sword, stared at the riverbank, and walked backwards step by step.
The sound of Hanoi lasted for a while, then suddenly disappeared, and the silence in the crater became even more silent, and the slight footsteps and heavy breathing of everyone sounded like we were scared of ourselves.
Lu Dachuan turned his head and glanced at me and asked, "What exactly is the Blood River?" β
"I hurriedly glanced at ......," I recalled, "about four or five meters below the guardrail, a cloud of crimson blood reaching the pit wall opposite. I'm not sure if the blood in the river is flowing, but the blood definitely didn't clot. β
Lu Dachuan muttered to himself: "This is an altar, there is nothing strange about a blood sacrifice pool, but how can the blood not coagulate after such a New Year?" β
"Don't bother brain cells, maybe there's just a small fish in the river that is stunned below, scurrying out to breathe."
Lu Dachuan glared at me and said, "Then you go over and have a look." β
I gave him a blank look: "You don't understand any humor!" β
From the guardrail to the high platform about ten meters, Lu Dachuan and I retreated five or six meters, and there was movement in the river again, first there was a slight sound of "bang", and then like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, there was a loud bang, and a blood-red huge figure suddenly rushed up from outside the guardrail, and the one that rose in the air was five or six meters high.
Lu Dachuan and I didn't care about seeing what it was, so we turned around and pushed Lu Keqin, Lin Xian'er and Liu Changleg into the corner of the river, and then turned around to look at the thing that came out of the river.
In the light of the two flashlights, we saw that the figure five or six meters tall standing in the air outside the guardrail was actually a huge monster head that we had never seen before, its protruding mouth looked like a crocodile, but its head was round like a hippopotamus, but there were no two small eyes or two small ears on it, but there were some disgusting sarcomas like the long pimples on the back of a lazy toad.
I shuddered to see the ugly head dripping crimson blood down the ground, and then I shuddered at the barb-shaped sharp teeth that were no more than one and a half meters long and were exposed from the top and bottom of the mouth, and my sphincter couldn't help but twitch.
The huge monster hidden in the river of blood stuck out its head and remained motionless as if it were asleep, and it didn't react to the light we shone through, I think it must have completely degraded its vision after living in the dark for a long time, and its sense of smell is estimated to be insensitive because it has been in the blood for a long time, so it is estimated that it is using its sense of hearing to find our location, so it does not dare to move.
Lu Dachuan has much more experience in the field than me, and he obviously knows this very well when he is motionless.
As the minutes ticked by, the blood clinging to the monster's huge head, the "ticking" sound that kept dripping into the river made me more and more restless, and I felt something in my chest constantly expanding and expanding...... It had to explode when he went down, so he turned his head to look at Lu Dachuan.
Lu Dachuan sensed that I was moving, turned his face and frowned, shook his head at me gently, and pointed to my feet to signal me to sit down.
I squatted down slowly with light movements, first touched the ground with one hand before sitting on the ground, and then glanced back at Lu Keqin, seeing that her face was also full of fear when she was painted like a little flower cat, pursed her lips and tried her best to endure it, and felt distressed for a while.
After Lu Dachuan also sat down, I dipped my index finger in my mouth and drew a question mark on the ground.
"Wait for the hair!" I said something in my heart, spit on my finger, and wrote after the word "wait": Not the way. He put his finger on what I wrote so dry that I couldn't see it"? "Up, look at me. I wrote a "quote". He shook his head and wrote "big", and clicked on the crotch of his big pants with a "......
He meant to wait, the monster wouldn't find out and we'd sink into the river. I mean, this is its territory, and we're definitely not going to be able to consume it, so we're going to have to find a way to lure it out of the way, cross the bridge, and get through that door. The two of us wrote on the ground with a word, and after a while, my mouth was dry and I couldn't spit and couldn't reach a consensus.
I can't convince Lu Dachuan, and it's not good for me to act without permission, after all, the cooperation is not good, and it's not a joke to provoke the monster. "Just wait!" I said in my heart, it was a compromise, I gently moved back and leaned against Lu Keqin, took her in my arms and let her sleep against me for a while.
Seeing Lu Keqin close his eyes, I also closed my eyes and wanted to relax my tense nerves, but the noise in the blood river sounded again, I hurriedly opened my eyes and looked at the river, and saw the monster's huge head slowly lowered, and thought that it was like Lu Dachuan said, and did not find that the prey was going to retract back into the river, but I didn't expect it to sink a little bit but its mouth stretched over the guardrail, it seemed that it was going to climb to the ground, I couldn't help it anymore, and asked Lu Dachuan out loud What should I do?
Lu Dachuan's eyes were about to erupt into flames when he looked at me.
I pointed to the monster and said, "It's coming, you still have to wait!" β
Lu Dachuan gritted his teeth and whispered: "If you kid is long-winded, I'll throw you over now." β
I'm also a little angry, and the words haven't come out yet. Lu Keqin said: "Don't make any noise, look at it open its mouth......"
Lu Dachuan and I suddenly stopped struggling, shut up and looked at the monster together, only to see that its mouth was like an electric door in a warehouse, slowly opening, and getting bigger and bigger, open enough to drive in a car before stopping. Looking at its two rows of sharp teeth and its large, blood-red tongue that looked like a road, my scalp tingled, and I wondered if this turtle grandson was demonstrating to us, or was he sleepy and yawning?
Before I could figure it out, the monster told me how unreliable my ideas were. Because of the sudden huge suction force in our faces, the bottom of our butts slid as if we were on wheels, and the big mouths that were facing the monster on the ground slid over.
We didn't expect the monster to come to such a yin move, so there was no defense at all, and in a blink of an eye, it slid forward two or three meters, and suddenly we were messed up, one by one, "whooping" screamed and turned around and crawled back, but the suction was too great, and the ground was slippery, and our buttocks turned around, no matter how hard we tried our bodies or slid in front of the monster......
I yelled in such a hurry: "Who told me what to do now?" β
Lu Dachuan shouted in response: "Don't climb, huddle in a group, and use the tip of the knife against the ground!" β
A few of us spread out our limbs and crawled on the ground, the donkeys rolled tightly together, grabbing each other's bodies and clothes, I, Lu Dachuan and Liu Changjiao pressed the tip of the knife against the ground, the tip of the knife rubbed so much that it was on fire, and the speed of sliding away was only a little slower.
"No! The suction of this turtle sun is too great, and there is no gasoline, light a fire to its throat of the dog...... "I didn't finish a word, we slid out two or three meters, and felt that our bodies were flying off the ground, "Hurry! β
"Explosivesβ" Liu Changleg yelled, "Dachuan, I have explosives in my backpack!" β
"Don't say it early on a dog day!" Lu Dachuan let go of us, pounced on Liu Chang's legs, cut a hole in his bag with a knife, reached in and felt a roll of explosives, "!" It's still timed. β
I thought of the door at the end of the stone bridge and exclaimed, "How many?" Don't use it all. β
"TNT explosives, one is enough for it to go to the western sky!" After hearing a few "didi" sounds in my ears, I saw Lu Dachuan lift the explosives into the air, and he didn't need to throw them, as soon as his hand loosened the explosives, under the huge suction, it was like an arrow off the string and instantly entered the monster's mouth.
"Bomb in three seconds, cover your ears and ......"
"Not ......early" I just covered my ears, there was a somewhat dull loud noise behind me, the pit shook for a while, the air "crackled" and fell down, smashing people painfully, I thought that the rocks on the pit wall were blown up and flew up, and Lu Keqin shook the flashlight like a look around, almost didn't spit out, it turned out that what kept falling in the air was a pile of bloody rotten flesh lumps that were still smoking.
Holding back the nausea, I picked up Lu Keqin and ran to the other side of the stone bridge.
Lu Dachuan saw that I pulled Lu Keqin and ran away regardless of them, and shouted, "What tricks are you kid playing?" β
I didn't look back: "Look at what fell from the sky!" β
"Holy shit! If you didn't say it earlier, I thought it was the debris that blew up and covered their heads and didn't dare to get up. β
I ran across the stone bridge, and Lu Dachuan's voice had reached my ears, and I almost touched his nose as soon as I turned around: "! You're too fast, aren't you? β
Lu Dachuan slapped me on the head: "Next time, you kid will be so selfish and twist your head off." β
"Who says I'm selfish?" I pulled Lu Keqin out from behind and showed him.
The dog's day was so energetic that he slapped me on the head several times in a row: "Make you stinky boy uneasy and kind!" β
"Okay! It turned out that I didn't like it earlier. I punched Lu Dachuan in the stomach with a black tiger, and jumped on Lu Keqin's back with a smile, "Sister Keqin, your brother bullied me." β
"Your mother! I'll throw up if you two are so disgusting. Liu Changleg made a vomiting motion.
I saw a piece of rotten meat on Lu Dachuan's shoulder, grabbed it and wiped it on Liu Chang's face: "You should have vomited a long time ago." β
"What...... Whew-" Liu Changleg bent over and vomited.
They looked at Liu Chang's legs, nose, and mouth that were smeared with blood and flesh by me, and they all retched. I laughed evilly in my stomach, and at the same time I endured the nausea, and wiped my hands on the wall of the pit until they were not sticky before I looked like a river of blood.
I thought I would see the corpse of the monster that was killed, but what I didn't expect to see was a dry blood-red riverbed, and the riverbed several meters wide was full of mutilated corpses of human-faced bats.
"Hey! Don't make a fuss, look at the river. β
"Didn't blow up, or did another one come out?" Lu Dachuan raised his head in horror. Lu Keqin and the others also raised their heads, their eyes blurred with tears.
Rubbing his eyes and looking at it for a long time, Lu Dachuan said, "Could it be that we blew up a blood demon, and this entire river of blood is its body?" β
"What Bloodfiend?"
"Legend has it that an ancient sorcery summons demons from blood."
"Witchcraft?! It's incredible! Thinking of the Qimen Dunjia I had seen in the village at the bottom of the lake, my mind returned to the big-headed dwarf, "Who are they?" β
"Hey...... hey" At this time, there was another laugh of a human-faced bat in the air.
"Dog days come so fast!" Lu Dachuan scolded and walked quickly to the stone gate.
I knew he meant that the Blood Demon had only been dead for a while, and the bat realized it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The two gates embedded in the pit wall are all stone, and they are stitched together both around the perimeter and in the middle of the two doors. The five of us fiddled around the mountain walls on both sides of the gate and the guardrails of the stone bridge in slightly different places, but we couldn't find the mechanism to open the door.
"Didn't there be explosives, blew it up."
Without saying a word, Lu Dachuan took out a roll of explosives from Liu's long-legged bag. We quickly retreated to the other side of the bridge and crawled on the ground. I asked Liu Changshan: "We didn't bring explosives when we came, where did you get it?" β
Liu Changleg smiled sinisterly: "Little Wilson brought it in his bag, I didn't expect it to help us so much." β
Lu Dachuan set up the explosives, and just ran back to us and climbed down, when a dazzling light flashed at the other end of the bridge, followed by a loud bang.
The huge shock wave almost flipped us over.
"Fuck, how did you climb so close!" Lu Dachuan scolded and stood up.
I got up and looked closer, but I said, "I'm walking by, the ground is full of flesh, why don't you go?" β
After the huge explosion, the human-faced bats fell silent, but we did not dare to stop, and before the yellowish smoke from the explosives exploded cleared, we rushed across the stone bridge and came to the stone gate.
In the thick smoke, Lu Dachuan groped on the stone gate for a while: "What a hard stone!" β
"Didn't it explode?" My heart tightened.
"It's open, but the hole is not big, I'll go first to take a look......" Lu Dachuan's figure disappeared in a flash.
