The Sacred Spring Chapter 21: Counterattack (5)

- Ulabun! Ulabun! -Twenty or thirty meters from the mouth of the inner tomb, the Mask Chief suddenly stopped, knelt on the ground and shouted a series of repetitive phrases.

The fat man was taken aback, pulled the bolt and aimed ahead: "What is this old red-haired calling, there is something in front of you?" -

I held the fat man down and took a few steps forward. In the darkness, I saw a white object standing motionless at the entrance of the tomb. The chief grabbed my arm and continued to shout, "Ulabun, Ulabun- looked very excited.

I patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to be quiet, lest he alarm the one he was talking about—Ulabun—and I took a long breath as the cat leaned down and slowly groped towards the hole. The fat man came up to me and whispered, - Don't go over first, don't care what it is, let's shoot -

I shook my head: "You look at the old red hair, I'll go ahead and explore the truth." You can't shoot indiscriminately until you figure out the situation—

Commander Hu is so enlightened! -The fat man gave me a military salute, and I smiled, then turned and continued to crawl towards the white object.

I felt pain from the small, sharp stones beneath me, and the closer I got to the white object, the more intense my heart beat harder. I didn't carry any illuminated equipment in the dark, and even though I was only three or four meters away from it, I could only faintly see an outline. The thing lay across the ground, not breathing, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time, and there was no sign of life except for the white corners of its clothes that kept shaking in the wind. I picked up the stone on the ground and threw it at it. The stone was then bounced away, and it did not react at all. I got up and walked quickly, only to see an object covered by a white camel hair blanket lying flat in front of the dark hole, which in size and shape looked very similar to a human corpse. I was shocked to figure out why there would be a corpse at the entrance of the cave after we left, I looked at the dark crypt beneath my feet, and a very ridiculous idea suddenly popped into my head: the corpse of the witch doctor had followed us out of the way!

As the saying goes, people are scary, they are scared to death. Standing at the mouth of the tomb, I was shocked by my sudden whimsical and broke out in a cold sweat. I didn't have time to think about it, so I leaned over to the corpse on the ground to uncover the camel blanket and find out. If it was really the remains of a witch doctor covered in a lotus pot, it would be worth the trip, catching a corpse that could move on its own.

I reached out and trembled slightly, feeling that the object under the white cloth would suddenly sit up. I told myself that I had to be calm, and that I didn't need to be intimidated by unwarranted imagination. With a horizontal heart, he grabbed the rough camel blanket. I only heard a scream behind me, and before I could figure out what was going on, the white carpet had been unintentionally ripped off by me. A male corpse with an inch horn on his head and a spiral hole in his body appeared in front of me. The first reaction in my mind was that the witch doctor tricked the corpse, and I quickly stepped back, only to be hit by a solid object, and a pair of thick, powerful palms held me steadily. I turned my head to see that it was the fat man who climbed up with me for some reason, and he was blocked by my body, and he didn't see the lotus corpse on the ground. Just asked: "What the hell, your face is scared yellow-

I didn't bother to answer him, and hurriedly asked, - Who was calling just now? -

The fat man-oh-oh said, "Isn't it that old red hair, who is so frightened when he sees that you are going to pull the white cloth that he faints with a scream." As I said earlier, all reactionaries are paper tigers who cannot resist the test of history. Lao Hu, let me see what is under the cloth! -

I didn't bother to look at an ancient corpse full of holes, and waved my hand to let the fat man see for himself. The fat man glanced at it, almost spit out the meat he had eaten, and pinched his neck and scolded me: "Ahem, cough, Hu Bayi, you are so disgusting, you, you cough, cough, you can't tell me early......-

The fat man let out a sigh after coughing, and then remembered that something was wrong: "I**, isn't this thing buried under the grotto?" Why did you run up on your own? Lao Hu, shouldn't we be targeted by foreigners' zongzi, right? -

I said, "You're beautiful." You're not a peerless beauty. People's foreign zongzi are so idle that they are so angry that they climb up to you all the way to grind. Besides, if it's really a zongzi, he won't jump up and pounce on people sooner, where will it be your turn for me to gossip about him here-

The fat man stabbed the corpse of the lotus peng with a bayonet, but he didn't want to touch it lightly, but actually peeled off half of its skin. Most of the subcutaneous tissue on the entire abdomen of the corpse was exposed, and the necrotic muscles were also covered with pits. The fat man was so depressed that he hurriedly threw out the dead man's skin on the head of the knife.

Although I was also disgusted, my mind was still spinning rapidly: "The corpses in the cave are all dried corpses, why is this lotus corpse still soft and not stiff?" Is it because it has left the cave, out of some special environment, or is it not a thousand corpses in the cave at all? If it hadn't come from the cave, it would have been a lotus corpse that had come out of nowhere-

The Mask Chief, who had been frightened to death by my unauthorized unmoving, was now shaking with his head in his hands. I walked up and nodded at him, and the chief was so frightened that he almost jumped. I thought for a moment, pointed to the lotus corpse on the hill and asked, "Who is he?" Isn't it your 'Eulabun'? -

The chief nodded and knelt on the ground, his palms flat and his palms facing the sky. I've seen this pose on the stone murals in the National Museum, and Shirley Young mentioned it in his commentary to me, that the Incas had to treat the royal family, the Sun Clan, with the palm facing the sky as a necessary courtesy for the Incas, and that only the noble priests, the witch doctors of the tribes, could enjoy this treatment in the Inca, except for the royal family.

The fat man exclaimed: "Dare to love the corpse of that big axe warrior?" -

I don't quite believe that this corpse is the barbarian we killed two days ago, but Lin Fang said that the Cremo people performed a soul summoning ritual on the river beach to resurrect the dead witch doctor. In other words, it was not some big axe warrior who was shot by the fat man in the woods, but the witch doctor of this group of barbarians-

He did not arrive in time for the Malik lair before he died, and after his death, his muted appearance was discovered by the tribesmen, and these ignorant and innocent Cremo people thought that the gods had punished them, so they defied the warnings of the Kremo witch doctors for thousands of years, and stepped into the group burial cave at the top of the Holy Mountain. I reckon that their original intention was to send the body of the Great Axe Witch Doctor into the cavern to appease the wrath of the gods, but they found our camp on the way, and the fight began. And the body of the Great Axe Witch Doctor was abandoned at the mouth of the cave in the chaos, and before he could carry it down—

This is not right, if these wild people dare to climb into the cave to catch us, how can they leave the corpse of such an important witch doctor in the wild? ——

Don't forget, this is a mutated corpse. Even you and I are shocked to see it, how can these Cremo savages, who have never been exposed to science and have a sense of awe for mysterious things, not be afraid! What's more, the witch doctors all crawled into the cave on their own and waited for death. It seems to me that they placed the body of the Great Axe Witch Doctor outside the cave because they believed in the witch doctor's magic and were waiting for him to climb in and eliminate the calamity himself—

But what does this have to do with touching the gold talisman, this is a native Cremo man, and it has nothing to do with our gold captain-

The fat man's joking words hit the light in my heart, I lifted the chief's neck, pointed to the witch doctor on the ground, and then pointed at the fat man, but I didn't expect the chief to understand my Zhang Si, and kept nodding and bowing.

The fat man was furious: "What do you mean by this bastard, fat man, I have become a group of people on the boat with the dead - I told the fat man what I thought in my heart, - the chiefs of the past generations will mutate after death, and the other Cremo people do not know about it, and have always thought that the witch doctor chose to die in the desert for the welfare of the tribe." This suggests that there is a huge secret hidden in the Cremo Witch Doctor. Only witch doctors will pass on word of mouth, since the chief is so in awe of touching the golden talisman, I think eighty percent of them are inseparable from the tomb robbers-

It seems to be a little interesting to hear you say this--The fat man patted his stomach and said,-But it's all empty talk, and we don't have conclusive evidence. The bald scoop is in a coma again, and there is no decent translation. Even if we have a stomach full of words, we can't ask, so let's go back first and eat the barbecue.

As soon as I saw the current situation, I had to nod and go down the mountain, not wanting to arrive at the camp, so I rushed over from afar: "Shopkeeper, look, I found the baby-
