Chapter 15 Cave Exploration and Demon Hunting

It turned out that the distance between Liaojiadong and Caojia Village was not very far, and after crossing a small hill, we walked a little forward, and we saw the entrance.

The entrance to the Liaojia Cave was completely covered with vines and branches, because it was already autumn and winter, and those vines had turned completely gray, and the surrounding area was covered with rotting dead leaves, emitting a pungent smell. At first glance, it looks like countless human hands are coiled around the entrance of a huge hole.

"How long has it been since no one has been to this place?" Seeing the desolation in front of him, Qin Feng couldn't help but say.

"It's been thirty or fifty years, to say the least." As he spoke, the fat man pulled out a machete from behind him and prepared to open the way.

We didn't delay, we all took out our machetes and prepared to go in. But as soon as the fat man slashed at the vine in front of him, he immediately exclaimed. "Oh shit, fuck, what is this?"

We went around to take a look, and found that the vine that had been cut for the fat man was not completely broken, but in the place of the breach, a dark red liquid flowed out, and it looked like blood.

"Could it be that all these branches and vines have become essences?" Qin Feng said.

"I don't know if these things are poisonous, everyone be careful." After the fat man was taken aback, he didn't feel anything, and after finishing speaking, he continued to do it.

Although it took a little time, we quickly opened a gap in the vine wall. It's just that the red stuff keeps flowing endlessly, and we can only wait for them to run clean before we go inside.

Half an hour later, four people. Four flashlights entered Liaojia Cave. In fact, it's not just Qin Feng, even I don't think there will be any big problems in entering Liaojiadong this time. After all, what kind of people are we? Even the place where such a weird family once lived, plus a goblin, it was impossible to stop the four of us. I think the worst outcome is that we don't find anything in it.

But recalling the old things that the fat man said, I still have some curiosity about the Liao family.

After entering the cave, we saw some words written with a brush on the stone wall, as well as paintings. Although the stone walls in the cave are not very flat, you can see it. The people who wrote these calligraphy and paintings are still quite level.

"Eh, Lao Qin, did you say that there is anyone who accepts these things? Why don't we chisel a painting and try it. Let's see if it sells or not. The fat man asked.

"Can you stop thinking about these things all the time, you want to sell everything for money, you just pick up the rags and forget it." I couldn't help but say that the fat man was beaten, but I didn't realize it until I finished speaking. His own voice actually produced a valley effect in the hole. The echo drifted far away.

All four of us fell silent. It wasn't until the echo completely stopped that Qin Feng said: "This cave doesn't seem to be small, dead fat man, you are such a thief, you must have been here when you were a child." ”

"Who in this place has nothing to do. Lao Tzu is not used to seeing the poor in the village, and when he has the guts, he is already outside. The fat man said.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly poured in behind him. After the sound of the wind passed, there was a jingling sound not far ahead, not the sound of copper bells. But it's also very crisp.

We quickened our pace and followed the sound as we walked on. It took less than a hundred meters to walk. A horrific scene appeared before our eyes. In the cave in front of them, there were hundreds of white skeletons hanging, and at this moment, these hanging skeletons were all swaying in the wind, and when they touched each other, they made the sound we heard before.

Just like the fat man said, the Liao family's heads are very big. Their faces were still the size of normal people, and their heads and skulls were exaggeratedly large.

"It seems that the people of the Liao clan are here." Qin Feng said. "But I don't understand how these people hang themselves on that high place."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, we began to pay attention to the ropes around the necks of those people. I don't know what the ropes were wring, they were black and shiny, and they looked oily.

"It's not a rope, it's a vine." Peanut said.

"Tree vines? Just the kind out there? I was surprised, "But how can the vine grow so suitable, you look around here, there are not many of them, can't the vine know that the Liao clan will hang after the most ugly, according to their heads, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." The fat man said, "The Liao family has lived here for hundreds of years, and they know everything here very well, so maybe they have a way to control these trees and vines." The fat man moved a few steps forward and walked to the bottom of the skeletons, "I think that the death of the Liao family may be related to these tree vines, maybe they have been controlling these tree vines all along, but suddenly one day these tree vines have become fairies, so they killed all the Liao family." ”

"Aren't you talking about drama?" I immediately shook my head, "Didn't the Liao family go to your Caojia Village to ask for help before, I can't say that these tree vines and goblins can look at each other for more than ten miles." I thought they might have been cornered, so they killed themselves" Before I could finish my sentence, I saw the fat man staring at the skeletons with his head tilted up, and he didn't react at all.

"Are you listening to me, eh, fat" I was about to step forward, thinking to myself that the special mother didn't say that the husband sang with the wife, why didn't you pay attention to Lao Tzu when the time came? At this moment, the fat man stretched out his hand to me and took a step back with a serious expression.

Before the three of us walked over, as soon as we saw the fat man's reaction, we immediately knew that something was wrong. So, Qin Feng and I quietly took out our guns, and the peanuts began to move slowly forward from the side.

Everyone was very quiet, always on the lookout for the situation. The wind behind him was still pouring into the hole, and the skeletons were shaking more and more, but until the three of us moved to the fat man, there was no change.

I stood behind the fat man and raised my eyes to look up. The area where the fat man stared was the densest place of skeletons, and all I could see was the bones and joints of the dead and the dark white skeletons. But within ten seconds, I suddenly noticed something unusual.

In the midst of those wobbling skeletons, faintly. I saw a pair of eyes staring at us.

To deal with this situation, we all know that we can't shine the flashlight right away. Now the only light source close to there was the fat man's flashlight, but the fat man didn't dare to shine the flashlight directly at that place. So, between those skeletons, there is still a ghostly darkness. It's just that the eyes we see are very white, but the pupils are the dark green that seems to be shining. These clothes are like human eyes, with eyelids and eyebrows, and I can't help but think in horror. Is there a living person hanging on it?

Qin Feng gently patted the fat man beside him, and the fat man understood, and then slowly moved the flashlight to those eyes. At the same time, Qin Feng's pistol also began to rise.

As soon as the flashlight flashed, we immediately heard "Wow! A very shrill cat meow. Look again at the face under those eyes. I almost bit out my teeth.

Under those eyes. What we saw was actually half a cat face. What's even more terrifying is that half of the cat's face is also rotten, but when the light shines, it opens its festering mouth towards us, revealing a total of four rows of piranha-like teeth.

Qin Feng shot it with a "bang", only to see the cat's face flash, and then there was no shadow.

"Be careful, missed." Qin Feng shouted. We all nervously started to look around with flashlights to find the cat.

I figured out in my heart that we saw the half-human, half-cat thing just now. The head is bigger than the average person, and according to the proportions of a cat, its body should be about the same thickness as me. I suspect it's a leopard.

Just as we were thinking about it, we heard another cat meow coming from the skeletons, and Peanut immediately chased after them as they saw the swaying of the skeletons. Qin Feng and the fat man both fired two robs at it, but they didn't hit anything.

I don't know what the road is for, the dead thing is just scurrying between the skeletons, it moves back and forth quickly, not pulling down two bones and falling beside us.

"Stop chasing." Suddenly, Peanut stretched out his hand to stop everyone. As soon as we stopped, the strange cat above me was gone.

"Just shoot a flare and get it." The fat man said.

"Don't act rashly just yet, there must be a reason why that thing is only hovering on it." As Peanut spoke, we saw that he had already taken a broken bone in his hand.

I know that peanuts have this skill, even in very low light, peanuts can hit things on the top of their heads with things like stones. It's just that the cat in front of us is hidden in the skeleton, and we can't see it, so we don't know if the peanut can hit it successfully.

Then, as soon as the peanut's right arm was stretched out, the broken bone was so fast that he couldn't see the shadow at all. We didn't even hear the bones crashing, but we heard the miserable scream of the strange cat. Then a black shadow fell to the ground.

The movement was unexpectedly loud, and when I saw the shadow in the blink of an eye, I really didn't think it was a cat. The four flashlights shone together, and I saw that there were countless thick wires in front of me. In the scattered mess, we saw the hideous cat face again, and then we found that under the cat's neck, there were those things connected one by one, and we recognized it after a thin distinction, and the damn thing was the tree vine hanging from the corpses on the top of the head.

The bone that Peanut threw out of the cannon hit the center of the cat's eyebrows, and the red liquid flowed down the wound, and I don't know if it was blood or what.

"Is this hanging?" Seeing that the thing was not moving, the fat man relaxed.

I couldn't help frowning, and said in my heart what this special thing is, "Eh, could it be that he is the monster that your second uncle said?" ”

"Possibly, but I don't see what this thing has to do with whether it's a place or not." After speaking, the fat man looked at Peanut suddenly, "Little brother, yo, it turns out that you haven't enjoyed the blessings of human sex, hehe, no wonder I fired so many shots with Lao Qin and couldn't hit, you can do it at once, my second uncle is really not blind"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and a tree vine quickly wrapped around the fat man's neck, and after a few circles, the tree vines that were still spread on the ground stood up immediately, and the fat man dragged the thing back. Peanut reacted, stepped forward, and slashed at the vine before the fat man dragged him away.

As soon as the vine broke, the fat man fell to the ground. Can be both. The strange cat that grew on the vines of the tree was like a jellyfish, and a dozen vines stretched out and pounced on the peanut.

Qin Feng and I raised our pistols and rushed forward, and Peanut immediately retreated. At this time. The fat man also got up from the ground, and after scolding his mother, he also picked up the pistol and joined me and Qin Feng in the point shooting.

The bullets flew wildly, but this time, the strange cat obviously couldn't dodge quickly. And we also found that it didn't seem to be able to go up any further. The vines scurried around the strange head, Iru, and began to run into the cave.

"Don't let it run, what we're looking for may be on him." The fat man shouted. Then we chased after it. Before the thing could get any far, our bullets were almost knocking its head to pieces.

As soon as the thing fell to the ground, all the vines instantly turned gray, just like the ones at the entrance of the cave. It seems to have withered. Now I guess it won't be able to get up again. But he didn't catch his breath yet. Suddenly, we were stunned by what we saw.

Just twenty meters in front of the corpse of the strange cat, there were many houses lined up on both sides of the cave, and those houses were as simple and dilapidated as the fat man said. However, it is not the houses that surprise us, but the ones that are entrenched around them. Clumps of vines. Those things were like parasites, crowded on top of the house. On top of each vine, there is a round cat's head.

I felt like I had stepped into a foreign land, and the strange cats with human eyes were all staring at us intently, wondering how these things came to be.

"Huh." The fat man patted me, "This time your hand is saved, but when the time comes, I guess I will have to find a way to get your head and legs back, and I don't know if my second uncle has that ability." ”

"Fuck you, let's, let's come back another day, that hand" Seeing so many monsters lying in front of me, I really don't want to put my life on the line for a few fingers, and I also think that the thing that the fat second uncle said is probably not these strange cats.

"Whew"

Suddenly, I don't know which cat was the one who barked long. The sound was no different from hearing a cat bark in the middle of the night, and what was even worse was that after the first cat meow, all the cats around began to bark up and down. Soon, we realized what was so scary about these strange cats.

Their voices sounded like normal cats, but I felt a sudden dizziness in my head. In just a few seconds, all four of them began to shake. Qin Feng fired a few shots in front, but it didn't work at all, and in this state, it was impossible for us to hit anything at all.

"Master, you, how are you?" Qin Feng asked.

"I don't know how to do it, I just feel that I don't have the strength to my hands and feet." I replied with a squeak, my hand already on the fat man's shoulder.

Everyone is slowly retreating now, but because we can't use our hands and feet, we can't even reach out and cover our ears. When I was confused, I suddenly saw something strange in front of me, black and not slippery, what kind of thing is this I seem to be a little unable to find the north now, I looked at it for a long time before I found that the black thing was actually my own left hand.

I'm going to go, I can't be poisoned, right? Depend on! Why? Lao Tzu again? But after trying to look at it for a while, I realized that something was wrong. Now, my left hand, which has no five fingers, is on the fat man's back, but I look at it in such a trance, it seems that there are fingers on it, but those five fingers seem to be some kind of claws, and there is something behind it that is connected to the forearm of my left hand.

After watching it for a while, I gradually felt a little chill in my heart. Because I feel that the thing on my left hand now seems to be the glove worn by Yuan Wuyang in the old photo.

But it's not right, Yuan Wuyang is just a right hand glove, and it may be six fingers, why do you see it on my left hand now, just thinking about it, suddenly someone pulled me up by the collar.

It's peanuts.

"Wake up," Peanut said, and I realized that several of us were already lying on the ground. But when I turned my head to look at my hand and tried to say something, I found that my left hand was still wrapped in gauze, and there was nothing.

I couldn't figure out what was going on at this point, even though Peanut tried to drag us up. But the three of us still couldn't move, and the peanuts themselves kept shaking.

"Little, miss. Yes, it's time for you to go crazy and get bloody," the fat man took a lot of effort to say this.

When I heard this, I cried out in my heart, but there seemed to be no other way now. To be honest, at this time, I didn't have the ability to act even if I wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, the knife was at my waist, and I didn't pull it out entirely, so I just pressed my right hand on it and slashed it.

"Yanran. Blood, blood is out, but. But it's time to smash it, why don't you take a sip first? I put my hand to the fat man's mouth.

The fat man gave me a push, "Tell those cats." Say that you, Uncle Yuan, are not easy to mess with. Then rush over and fight with them, give, give us time to escape. ”

"Me"

At this time, Peanut pulled me up from the ground, I was startled, and said I really want to throw Lao Tzu over?

Peanut grabbed my right arm and threw it forward, and I felt all the blood from the wound spill on the ground.

However, what I didn't expect was this. As soon as my blood spilled, the cats around me barked more violently. But it didn't last a few seconds, and suddenly I noticed that there was silence in my ears, and there was no sound around me.

Soon, that dizzy feeling disappeared, and the fat man and Qin Feng quickly stood up from the ground. Peanut handed us the water to drink, and after a few more minutes, the big guy finally woke up.

"I'll go, it's really good, your blood" The fat man turned his worries into joy, looked at the wound in the palm of my right hand, and applauded again and again. "It seems that we can't do without you in the future."

"Do you know how much a drop of blood is Lao Tzu? It's all on your account, and we'll sizzle when we go back. As I spoke, I suddenly shuddered.

"What's wrong, sir?" Qin Feng asked, "Is it a wound?"

"No, me, I just feel a little itchy with the break on my left hand." I said.

Qin Feng's face changed, "Is it inflamed again, how long have you not changed the dressing?" ”

"No," I don't know what to say at this time. Now the itch on the five fractures of my left hand is very strange, and I feel that the itch is no longer on the fracture, but a little above the fracture, which is the joint of my original fingers. But who the hell believes this, I don't have any fingers anymore, how can I still feel itchy?

However, the truth is, I did feel that the fingers of my left hand were itching so badly that I couldn't help but reach out and scratch an empty place.

When a few people saw my uncomfortable appearance, they urged me to ask me what was wrong. I really couldn't help it, so I told me how I felt when I got into my skin.

"It's strange, my fingers are gone, why do I still itch?" Qin Feng was puzzled.

"It's that you don't have any knowledge, the magazine has long said that this is a mental problem, the young lady misses his fingers too much, and the mental problem affects his nervous system, and his brain is like this." The fat man said.

"You, tsk, your mother's brain is pumping." I scolded.

"Bear with me, those things are gone, let's hurry up and go in and have a look." Peanut said.

I nodded, thinking about whether or not to tell me what I had just looked up to, but I thought about it. As we walked inside, we couldn't help but look at the rooms.

The fat man said that those houses were all in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but after dividing the entire courtyard one by one, they were placed here one by one.

"You mean, if you put these houses according to the specifications, you can form a few courtyards or something?" I asked.

"These houses are models made of wood." The fat man looked inside again, and then said, "Tsk, I always think that such a house is not suitable for people." ”

I didn't understand it at once, "Didn't you just say that these are made according to the specifications, although it is wood, but it is no problem to go in with a few people." ”

"It stands to reason that when the Liao family had an accident, they should have been very flustered, at that time, there would be some stirring and messing in the house, but these houses are too standard inside and out, and I feel that this is like some models." The fat man said.

Qin Feng shook his head, "You mean that the big-headed Liao family doesn't live here, but if they don't live here, they won't go directly to the ground at night." ”

"Not necessarily." Peanut said, "Didn't the Cao family have discovered that the Liao family seems to have the ability to live forever? In some habits, they must be different from normal people, and these houses may really be of other use. And"

Peanut stopped, and we urged him to ask what he had in mind.

Peanut continued: "In fact, the Liao family is a very famous family in China, although everyone knows that there are many people with the surname Zhang Wang Li Zhao, but when it comes to the unity of the clan and the commonality of the clan, the Liao family is definitely second to none. In history, the Liao family has left a lot of rumors, and some people even say that the Liao family has been a god. This family originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and its branches are complex, but it seems that there are still some vague connections in these branches."

I'll relay Peanut's next words.

In fact, the key to what he wants to say is that in that "connection", a family has been passed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and now, the number of people is probably unusually large. The longer a family goes through, the weaker the relationship between the separation and the clan will become, and at its worst, it may become two families entirely. However, the Liao family has a very strange and even terrifying force in this regard, which is intentionally or unintentionally pulling those Liao family members together. You must know that Lu Dao, one family is divided into two, and two families may be divided into five or six, so if it is divided, there are countless people in Tiannan, Haibei and Beibei, so the existence of that kind of force is very peculiar in itself, and in turn, it can only show that the people of the Liao family have something special, and they are unknown.

When I walked out of those houses, the sound of the dry bones behind me swaying in the wind and colliding with each other came again. Suddenly, my spine shuddered, and suddenly, a very terrifying thought came to my mind.

"What's wrong?" The fat man turned back to me and asked.

"Oh, it's fine." After saying that, I hurried to follow everyone and involuntarily walked to the front as much as I could.

However, what we saw later disappointed a few of us.

The cave was indeed very large, and we had walked for a long time, and when we finally saw the corner and ran up to see the stone platform where the Liao family had eaten the corpses of the people, we were all stupid.

"Gone?" The fat man ran over and touched the hard stone wall.

"Could it be that those strange cats are really the monsters that your second uncle said?" Qin Feng seemed to want to go back and find out those monsters.

"Don't be too relaxed just yet, maybe it's hiding somewhere we can't see." Peanut said as he raised his flashlight and looked around.

Looking at the busy appearance of the three people, I smiled and said: "Forget it, since we have all found the head, I guess I have no fate with that monster, one less hand is one less, and you will serve Lao Tzu more in the future." ”

"Fuck you, I'm still waiting for you to serve me." The fat man gave me an unhappy look, "Don't talk nonsense, let's come and look for it." ”

I couldn't help but look at them with some gratitude, thinking that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for me to be reduced to being a thief. If I don't think about anything, I will join the torrent of society, where will I know the fat people.

I don't have confidence in my hands anymore, I'm just looking around. Suddenly, Qin Feng in front of him pushed the fat man,

"What do you say?"

The fat man's face was stunned, "I, what did I say about me?" ”

"Don't think I didn't hear it, your special mother secretly scolded me" Between the words, Qin Feng seemed to be really angry. (To be continued......)
