Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lingmi

It turned out that unconsciously, I didn't know when the road began, and I had walked behind everyone. Because we had already done enough checks up and down when we entered the stone gate, we were already sure that there was no danger around us, so we dared to walk forward boldly. Along the way, all our attention was focused on the unknown darkness ahead, and I had no idea what was behind me. At this time, Bao Ye suddenly came to my side and said to me that there was something behind me, and I couldn't help but feel a thrill, and reflexively wanted to look back to see what kind of thing was following behind me. Fortunately, Bao Ye was by my side and stopped me in time.

Bao Ye said to me softly: "Don't worry, that thing has been following you for a while, and if it doesn't harm you, don't act rashly first." ”

I looked surprised, and my heart said don't act rashly? Feelings are not that there is something behind him that follows him. In so many adventures, I've found a way to deal with danger, especially strange creatures that don't know how to deal with them. To deal with them, we must not sit idly by, and if we want to save our lives, we must strike first. However, since Zhang Hefang and Bao Ye have said that I should not act rashly, I am not good at making any claims. Because I also know in my heart that the so-called preemptive strike, the premise is that you have the ability to strike first, if you don't have that ability, then the preemptive strike is no different from giving your life.

Bao Ye saw that I was nervous, he had experienced a lot of wind and waves, but he was very relaxed, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be nervous, there is me." ”

I nodded smugly and continued to walk in the footsteps of everyone, but I found that my calves and stomach had begun to tremble and become weak, and my steps had become weak. If you want to say that I didn't know what was going on with me from the beginning of the fight, it's really embarrassing for me to know that I know about this matter, and let me pretend that nothing happened.

As I walked, I glanced behind as much as I could, but I couldn't see anything. So, I focused on my ears, and this time I listened, I did notice some different sounds. Although several of us are wearing tourist shoes, we will inevitably make some slight noises when we step on the bluestone slab, but there seems to be another sound mixed with these slight sounds. It was a "rustling" sound, not like the sound of feet stepping on the ground, but more like the sound of a hand scratching a stone slab.

I raised my eyes to look at Zhang Hefang and the others who were walking in the front, they all turned their backs to me and Bao Ye, and they didn't look back. This in itself is a bit of an anomaly. They seemed to be consciously not looking backwards, which deepened my fear of what was behind me.

We kept going, about five or six minutes, but it was like a year for me.

Suddenly, Zhang Hefang, who was walking in the front, stopped his steps, and before I could react, my body was violently dragged by Bao Ye, and the whole person was thrown down on the stone wall next to the road. I saw Zhang Hefang, Bin Zi and the others quickly turn their heads, followed by two gunshots, "bang", which hit straight behind me where I was standing.

I took the opportunity to hurry to see what the thing behind me was, but the thing was extremely responsive, and when it saw that something was wrong, it immediately used its legs to climb and dodge at a great speed along the stone wall of the tunnel like a gecko. It climbed up a corner and roared at us.

I shone my flashlight at the strange creature, and I couldn't help but gasp.

It was an unidentified creature I'd never seen before. It has the shape of a human, but is noticeably shorter than a human. The thing's face was small, but it had a pair of eerily protruding huge red eyes, and whenever it opened its mouth to growl, it showed a row of tiny, dense fangs. The thing was covered in a layer of black, I couldn't tell if it was hair or skin, and it always looked wet. If I had to find an animal to compare it to, it would be monkeys.

At this time, everyone also saw the appearance of this thing clearly, and the old python, who had a deep understanding of strange creatures, shouted at this time: "Damn, it's Lingmi, kill it quickly!" ”

What the hell is Lingmi, I can see from everyone's expressions, except for Lao Python and Zhang Hefang, no one else seems to have heard of it. However, since listening to the tone of the old python, this thing is obviously very dangerous, Binzi and Brother Liao also raised a slight charge and began to shoot at the thing called Lingmi.

What was amazing was that dozens of bullets rained down on Na Lingmi's location, and not a single bullet hit it. Not only was it fast, it was faster, and if he moved on the wall it was like a black shadow, we couldn't see what it looked like.

Modern technological weapons are powerful, but they are useless in front of this little monster. At the critical moment, it had to be up to Zhang Hefang, only to see him shouting at the old man, and the old man raised his pistol to aim at the Lingmi, and the "bang" was a shot. I thought that the Lingmi would easily dodge the bullet again, but I didn't expect that just as the Lingmi was about to move, its body suddenly trembled, and then its whole body seemed to be frozen, and it was indifferent even if the bullet hit.

Then the sound of a bullet piercing through the skin rang out, and a stream of dark red blood erupted.

I was surprised by the sudden change in front of me, and when I turned my head to look at Zhang Hefang, I woke up like a dream. I saw Zhang Hefang's eyes staring at that Lingmi tightly, his eyes leaking a fierce light, and at the same time, a faint fragrance of almonds began to emanate from his body.

It's an illusion! This is Zhang Hefang's specialty. I immediately understood that Zhang Hefang used illusion to control the Lingmi in a short period of time, delaying its reaction speed, so he was shot by the old man.

The reima groaned and fell off the wall. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to take a look. I saw that the little thing was not completely dead, and his body was still convulsing and spasming, Yin Hong's liquid was desperately gushing out along the wound, and a strong stench permeated the entire corridor.

The old python looked at the dead Lingmi, not only sighed, but also said: "It's really Lingmi, fortunately, we finally killed it, otherwise we would never have been able to get out of this burial pit." ”

"What is this for?" I was puzzled and asked, "What the hell is this little thing?" ”

The old python explained: "This monkey-like thing is called Lingmi, it is a very rare creature, even the wizards of southern Xinjiang, they may not have seen it in their lives, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen this thing, before, I have always seen it in ancient books." ”

I remembered that this thing had been behind me for a long time but had not attacked me, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is this thing dangerous, why didn't it attack us first?" ”

The old python lit a cigarette, trying to cover up the smell of the cigarette in the air, and said: "This thing itself is not dangerous, and besides, it is very similar to a monkey, it is an omnivore under normal circumstances, and it is a vegetarian in 90% of the cases." Of course, when I say it's dangerous, I don't mean it's dangerous, but that if it follows us into the grave, it will cause us a lot of trouble. ”

I shook my head, not understanding. The old python continued: "This kind of little monster, don't look at it, it looks like it looks like it's stumbling, and it has a yin and evil face, but this thing is almost a pure yang body, and the yang energy on its body is very, very heavy. Don't forget, this is the burial pit of the priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which means that there will definitely be many ancient corpses in it, and the biggest danger of Lingmi's creature is that it is easy for the dead corpse to cheat the corpse. ”

"Corpse?" I said in surprise.

The old python nodded and said, "That's right, you must have heard that after a person dies, before the first seven, the corpse can't meet the black cat." Because if the black cat crosses the corpse, then the corpse will be scammed. And Lingmi, an animal, even if a person has been dead for thousands of years, as long as they are swaying around, it is very easy to cause corpse fraud. Of course, these Lingmi themselves are reluctant to do this, because often the first thing they do after the corpse is to catch them, or even eat them, and they themselves live in places where yin qi is extremely heavy, which can be regarded as a certain degree of harmony between yin and yang. ”

"If they are easily eaten by dead bodies, why do they have to live in this burial pit?" I asked.

The old python touched his chin full of fat, gave me a blank look, and said, "I never said that this thing lived in an ancient tomb." ”

As soon as I thought of this, I remembered what had just happened, and said, "By the way, what the hell was going on just now?" How could that thing end up behind me for no reason? We've already checked the area when we entered the stone gate. ”

Bao Ye said on the side: "In this case, there is only one possibility of the situation - it is not that Lingmi who appeared in the Yongdao, but that you brought Lingmi in. ”

I said, "How is this possible, how could I carry such a scary thing." ”

I stepped forward, and Bao Ye said at this time: "It's also possible that you don't know when Lu Dao brought it in, you can look at your backpack." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked at Bao Ye's expression, I knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly took off my backpack, and at a glance, I found that the zipper of my backpack was open, and many of the food in it had been eaten.
