Chapter 32: Wrapping the Rope of Corpse Blood
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and I cursed in my heart, I'm going to be unlucky now. Seeing that I fell, Lao Zhao jumped down from the stone tablet and pulled me up and flew over the stone tablet pedestal. I was considered to be in a safe place, and I still have palpitations when I think about the scene just now.
"What's going on?" Lao Zhao asked me.
"Alive, moving." I gasped and said to Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao glanced back at the Bone Raising Building and said, "Let's go up first." After listening to my description, the three of them stared at me with big eyes, and I saw their expressions, so I had to say, "Don't believe it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." ”
"It's not like you're dazzled, Zero." The pit said contemptuously.
"When did I miss your master, I think I could see at a glance that you were a scumbag, and you have been confirming it until now." I sneered at the pit. Just as the two of us were arguing, Lao Zhao asked, "Then why did you fall to the ground just now?" Lao Zhao asked, there was a bang in my head, and I forgot about it in a hurry, and I muttered: "Just now, I felt, I felt that something was pulling me on the ground." As soon as these words came out, I felt a chill down my spine, and when I looked at the others, I was also shocked. They may not believe what I said before, but it's even more strange that I fell on the ground, and I'm a young and strong man, and I don't have bad legs.
"Are you convinced?" Lao Zhao asked.
I nodded, I didn't step on anything when I went down just now, it couldn't be because I was careless and tripped over something, but when I ran back, I obviously felt a backward force, so I fell forward.
"You mean, a hand came out from the ground and grabbed your foot?" Lao Zhao continued to ask. I wasn't sure about that, and in my hurry, I didn't care about what was being pulled, maybe it was a hand, or something else. But no matter what it is, it is scary enough, and what people are most afraid of is what they can't see.
"Brother Zhao, if we still have to think of a way, let's go back the way we came." I said tentatively to Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao glanced at me and didn't say anything, he had persuaded us to retreat several times before, but now he didn't say a word.
"I'll take a look." As he spoke, Lao Zhao had already jumped off the stone stele, copying the sapper shovel in one hand and a strong flashlight in the other, approaching the bone building step by step. We watched him on the stone monument, moved little by little to the bone-raising building, squatted down, and turned on the flashlight to observe the skeleton in front of us. In the darkness, there was just a little light, and a person was facing a pile of white bones, and the scene was extremely strange. We strafed around with flashlights, hoping to find something, but nothing but darkness and darkness.
After a moment, Lao Zhao stood up. Turning my head to walk back, I shone my flashlight at him, only to find a wrist-thick red rope flying towards him behind his back, and I shouted, "Be careful." Said that it was too late, Lao Zhao turned around with a bounce, and the sapper shovel in his hand slashed backwards hard, this split was impartial, and a shovel cut the flying red rope in the air, and a bright red liquid gushed out, and the remaining red rope quickly retreated. After landing on the ground, Lao Zhao was about to retreat, but he fell to the ground on his back, and the whole person slid towards the bone building. It's not good, just looked behind him, but there was still one under his feet, and the moment Lao Zhao fell, he grabbed his feet and dragged him into the bone building, and the speed was so fast that he was about to be dragged in.
In a hurry, I wanted to jump down to save Lao Zhao, but Song Jin stuffed the arrow with the insect ancestor in his hand into my hand and flew to the bone building, not jumping, but really flying, I think this should be the light skill mentioned in martial arts. Song Jin, who was driving light skills, quickly caught up with Lao Zhao who slid towards the bone building, took the sapper shovel in Lao Zhao's hand, chopped it at Lao Zhao's feet, and finally stopped at a position half a meter away from the bone building. The two of them did not dare to delay, and the two of them hurried back to join us.
Lao Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm old, I'm old, I'm not going to do it." As he spoke, he patted Song Jin on the shoulder again to express his gratitude. I and the pit looked at each other, although the scene just now was extremely terrifying, but what we were saying in our hearts now was: I can't imagine that Lao Zhao will also have a time of trouble.
"How's it going, do you see it clearly?" I asked Lao Zhao.
"Same as you said." Lao Zhao thought for a while, and then added, "Didn't you all see it, that thing just now." ”
"What was that just now, and why did it attack someone?" I asked.
Lao Zhao shook his head and said: "I can't be sure, because this is a question about the bone cultivation building, I also told you before, the bone cultivation technique, which is an evil art with improper mental skills, has not been handed down, but it existed in a certain religion at that time, and I don't know too much about the specific situation, and I can only judge it by guessing at present." This red line, let's put it this way for the time being, is the key to the entire bone building. Saying that, Lao Zhao pointed to the red line with the thick wrist that was severed on the ground, and said, "What do you see flowing out of there?" ”
We looked at Lao Zhao's hand, and saw that half of the red line was still writhing on the ground, but the speed of twisting was getting slower and slower, and there was a tendency to stop, and at one end of the wound, a red liquid flowed out, which looked like it should be blood.
I told Lao Zhao the answer, and Lao Zhao listened and said, "It's also right and it's not right." ”
I rely on, yes, no, no, yes, no, what kind of statement is this, I am anxious to get Lao Zhao's answer.
"Just now when I was cutting the red thread, or rather, the blood rope, to be exact, I saw that in addition to the liquid, there were insects flowing out of it. A red worm that lives in this blood rope, and in terms of this way of survival, it is parasitic. Lao Zhao explained. As far as I can guess, the reason why this blood rope is so agile is also because of the presence of these parasites, in other words, the blood rope itself may not be alive, and these parasites work together to build the blood rope and are themselves part of the blood rope. Then ......"
"And then?" We asked, wide-eyed.
"And then parasitize on this mountain of bones in front of you, remember the thin red line you just saw on the skeleton? That is the parasitic whiskers at the very end, relying on these parasitic whiskers, relying on countless parasitic whiskers, gradually twisted into a huge blood rope, this is a tree-like system, the blood rope is the last trunk, and the white bones are the soil of these blood ropes. Just now it was about to catch me in, probably because it was attracted by the breath of a living person in my body, so it was eager to catch me in and suck the blood out of my body, and finally I became the one. Saying that, Lao Zhao pointed to the bone mountain in front of him, meaning that he had also become a member of these white bones.
According to Lao Zhao's analysis, could it be that this pile of white bones was originally made by a living person? And then one by one they were sucked into white bones, it was so disgusting. Or maybe there weren't so many white bones at the beginning, and as more and more people were captured by the blood rope, these corpses were arranged in a regular manner, rather than artificially?
"But if you continue to parasitize like this, no matter how many white bones there are, there will always be a time to suck them dry." I am partially skeptical of Lao Zhao's analysis.
"That's not necessarily, since it's parasitic, it definitely requires the survival of the host, and once the host dies, the parasite will die unless it looks for a new host. What is Sorcery? Sorcery must have its incomprehensible aspects and means. It is through sorcery that the longevity of these bones can be maintained, and the bone marrow hematopoiesis provides a continuous supply of blood to the blood rope. As for what kind of evil arts, I don't think I'll ever understand it without cutting open the bones, and it's still based on the situation of having cutting-edge equipment and preparing a few gods. References. "Lao Zhao answered my questions again, the meticulousness of thinking is really admirable, I often call myself a master of logic, but I am inevitably ashamed of myself in front of Lao Zhao.
But Lao Zhao has said so much, in the end, I still don't know something, why did the owner of this tomb build such a bone building here, just to show the power of his evil magic to the tomb robbers who may appear in the future? Those who understand the eyes are praised, and those who don't understand the eyes can only be stunned and don't know why. Or is it used to prevent theft? At this scale, this anti-theft tool is not too obvious, there is a great chance that it will be bypassed, and it will not be in vain to become the Maginot Line in the ancient tomb at that time. Is it for the sake of aesthetics? This must be the most idea, this thing doesn't look good at all, even I, a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, look at such neatly arranged and stacked white bones, and feel that it has no beauty at all.
There must be some secrets in this that we have not solved, as long as we solve this unknown mystery, we will naturally understand the inevitability of the existence of this bone building. In my heart, I would rather believe in the inevitability of corpse oil in this thing, otherwise it would be impossible for this General Wu Si to waste all his strength to kill so many people and make this bone building.
I've also thought about whether to bypass it, but thinking about the existence of such a terrifying thing next to you, how can we feel at ease if we go around, so the four of us discussed, either we don't leave, and if we want to go, we must figure out the purpose of this bone building, otherwise it will be more auspicious to go further. And I also have an idea in my heart, which is to destroy it as much as possible after learning the secret, so as not to fall into the hands of people with bad intentions and leave it to the world.
