Chapter 41: The Cave Demon
Chapter 41: The Cave Demon

Head? I almost subconsciously thought that it would be the head of Ryazan or Gao Peng, but immediately, Old Man Yuan shouted to us inside: "There is nothing to do, nothing to do." ”
Chen Bing was a little impatient and asked, "Master Yuan, what's going on?" Whose head is that? ”
Old man Yuan snorted twice and said, "Where does the old man know whose head it is, but looking at it like that, it should have been a head a long time ago." ”
As soon as I heard this, I was relieved, and after a while, the old man Yuan had already jumped to the bottom of the gap in the mountain, and as soon as he landed, he said: "My mother, this place is indeed bright enough, but it is also scary enough." ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Bing asked.
Old man Yuan deliberately played a lawsuit and said, "You will know the truth when you come down." ”
Chen Bing thought for a while and asked, "Is that Ryazan down there?" ”
"I haven't seen it yet."
Chen Bing looked at me again and said to me, "Then you go down first." ”
So, several of us also went into the crevices of the mountain in turn. I slid down about two meters, and I saw the human head that Old Man Yuan said. However, because I had some psychological preparation in advance, I was not frightened, but I felt very abrupt.
It was a male head with one eye blind, and I don't know who he was, but it was true, as Old Man Yuan said, this human head had been around for some years. Although the muscles on his face are not completely rotten, his epidermis is black and unusually dry, and he has a large scar on one of his eyes, so I assume he was blind in one eye.
I continued to run down, and by this time, I could already see Old Man Yuan's feet. I fell, and as soon as Old Man Yuan saw me, he smiled bitterly and said, "Young man, are you here too?" ”
Subsequently, Chen Bing, Liu Yi, Shu Jingcheng and other three people also slid down in turn. Sure enough, the place here is much more spacious than the landslide, but it is not really big, and the most important thing is that the upper part of the cave has a lot of extremely irregular rocky ground hanging down, so that people can't straighten their waists at all, and if they are not careful, they will probably hit their heads.
When the five of them reunited, they picked up their flashlights to check the situation in front of them, and all of them gasped under this light.
What kind of cave is this, it is like a corpse pit, and we see that there are all kinds of corpses piled up everywhere in the deep and narrow cave, and to our surprise, these corpses are men and women, and in terms of age, almost every age has them. There were some soldiers in ancient armor, and some long-haired corpses, but they didn't look like modern women, but ancient men, but probably because of the passage of time, their clothes had rotted into pieces, and from time to time there were a few rather fat rats scurrying around their bodies.
There are also some corpses, their clothes are very modern, I even saw a few corpses wearing the uniforms of Kuomintang soldiers during the Republic of China, and I can also see some corpses wearing Mao suits, and closer to them, I can even see some corpses wearing modern clothes and wearing firearms and weapons.
Without exception, none of these corpses were fully corpsed, and their bodies were often fragmented, either missing an arm or missing a leg, as if they had been torn down by something, which made people shudder.
Chen Bing frowned slightly and said, "It seems that these are the ancestors who have always been looking for the old man's cave. ”
I suddenly had an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I said that these people from all ages and generations have come here to find the old man's cave, in order to pray for people who can break the cycle of life and death and live forever?
I couldn't help but say, "I thought that old man's cave had always been just a secret. ”
Chen Bing said: "It is indeed a secret, a secret of a few people, although there are many dead bodies here, but outside the primeval forest of Shennongjia, the vast majority of people still don't know that there is such a place in Ludao." ”
I nodded silently, and suddenly thought of my father's words - the matter of witches has always been a secret of a few people.
Old Man Yuan sighed heavily on the side at this time, and said: "Oh, I really don't understand, what's so good about immortality, wouldn't it be happy to live for seventy or eighty years in this life?" The so-called immortality, how can it be so easy? ”
Everyone didn't reply, but everyone without exception felt that what he said was right, immortality is not only a physical requirement, but also a test of a person's psychological quality. Whether a person can endure absolute loneliness, whether a person has been able to pass the test of immortality, even I am not sure that I can accept that I can live forever with peace of mind.
At this time, Liu Yi said on the side: "Actually, maybe these people here don't want any immortality skills at all. ”
Old Man Yuan nodded, and said in a rare deep voice: "It's just a group of chess pieces, only those who are rich or powerful in the world will stupidly ask for any kind of immortality." ”
Everyone was silent, and Chen Bing said: "Don't worry about this for now, since we have arrived here, we have to move on, and I don't know where that Ryazan is in Ludao." ”
I said, "Why don't you use the walkie-talkie to ask him again?" ”
When Chen Bing heard this, he glared at me, snorted coldly, and said, "I think it's better to forget it." ”
I was speechless, and everyone had to step on the piles of corpses under their feet and slowly walk forward, although some of the dead bodies looked very sturdy, but often when they stepped down, the whole body "snapped" and all collapsed, and we could only pray secretly.
The submachine gun in Chen Bing's hand has never been put down since he entered here, and Shu Jingcheng also clenched the pistol in his hand, looking around vigilantly, because none of us are stupid, the corpses here are piled up, they must have died here for some reason, and according to the situation of their corpses, it is very likely that they were attacked by some kind of creature.
The smell of rotting corpses in the air made me dizzy, and I hit my head several times with the rocks at the top of the cave, and our progress became slower.
As we walked, I suddenly heard a few gurgling calls, which were so piercing in the silence of the cave that I got goosebumps all over my body.
Everyone hurriedly looked around, but in the cave, the echo was unusually obvious, and the sharp sound bounced back and forth from the stone wall, and we couldn't tell where it came from.
Among the five of us, Shu Jingcheng had the best eyesight, but he seemed unusually calm, the pistol clenched in his hand but did not raise it, but left the flashlight in one hand on the inside of the cave and kept strafing, I looked at the place where the light pillar of his flashlight swept over, and suddenly, a thin, white naked figure crawled into the shadows on the side of the cave along the upturned stone wall like a spider.
At that moment, my eardrum shook, and with a "bang" gunshot, Shu Jingcheng raised his pistol and fired the first shot.
I didn't hear the sound of the bullet hitting the stone wall, so I estimated that this shot should have hit the target, but I saw Shu Jingcheng's face twitch violently, and he seemed to be a little angry.
He missed, this is the first time I have seen Shu Jingcheng miss, his marksmanship, I have personally learned, this miss is not so much to make me feel disappointed in Shu Jingcheng, but to make me feel afraid of the figure just now.
"Cave Demon!" I heard Old Man Yuan shouting, "It's a cave demon!" ”
I saw that Old Man Yuan's expression was ugly, and I knew that a great disaster was coming, but in a short period of time, we did not encounter the attack of the figure just now.
Grunt, again, this time, Shu Jingcheng was engrossed, it seemed that every sensory nerve in his body was tense and waiting for the thing to appear again, this time, he quickly locked onto the target and fired another shot, this time I could see clearly, the shot hit the figure in the stomach, but I still heard Shu Jingcheng curse in a low voice, I know him, when he shot, he must have aimed at the head of the thing.
But because of the strange rocks in this cave and the lack of light, his vision was greatly limited, and the movement of that thing was so fast, it was not easy to hit it.
Fortunately, Liu Yi and Chen Bing still had submachine guns in their hands, although their reaction speed was much slower than Shu Jingcheng's, but there was a submachine gun sound, and the thing still fell from the stone wall after all.
A few of us hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that the body of the thing was extremely strong, but the limbs, ah, no, were six limbs extremely long, and the white feeling was that his palms were very similar to the soles of his feet, and there was not much difference, and their palms and soles were very rough, which was why they could crawl back and forth on the cave wall for something.
We saw that he had almost no eyes, only two black dots the size of sesame seeds distributed on the left and right sides of his little head, but it was a bloody mouth that made people shudder.
Although we killed a cave demon, but the old man Yuan still seemed to be very nervous, in the dark, I seemed to see him shivering, everyone rushed forward to ask, the reason, but the old man Yuan said: "The cave demon has always been a social creature, this time, our lives are difficult to protect." ”
