Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cocoon

Fan Jiyun and the old ghost and the others climbed over the ice wall, they didn't see any jade corridors, what appeared in front of them was a huge underground square, the space inside was very wide, with a total of twenty-seven waist-thick white marble pillars. Every step taken by the five people in the dark space could hear a loud echo, Fan Jiyun took Liu Zhen, and several people came to the front of the big stone pillar, carefully watching the totem pattern carved on the stone pillar.

It doesn't seem to be just a picture, but a kind of text, this kind of text Fan Jiyun doesn't recognize, it is different from the ancient Miao script in the Miao village, it is a text he has never seen, in terms of glyphs, at first glance it looks a little like cuneiform.

Fan Jiyun turned his head and asked the old ghost if he knew the words on it, and the old ghost also shook his head, but he still stepped forward and studied the characters on it with great interest.

Liu Zhen took a flashlight to illuminate Fan Jiyun and the old ghost, and said, "However, it's really cold here." ”

Liu Zhen was right, the temperature in the entire underground square was extremely low, and with their feelings, the temperature was already below zero degrees Celsius, Liu Zhen's teeth couldn't stop chattering, and even the breath he exhaled turned into white mist.

Because the underground space is too empty, many dark places are not clear to everyone, and everyone does not dare to make a loud noise, for fear of provoking some creatures hidden in the darkness. They didn't know if there were any other exits here, so they simply wandered aimlessly among the twenty-seven white marble pillars.

As they walked, they suddenly noticed that there was a stone pillar with a strange carving, which seemed to be different from the content carved on other stone pillars.

The human face is carved vividly, against the background of the unknown words around it, it looks very unnatural, even a little weird, and what is even more shocking is that the surrounding area of this stone pillar is full of bloodstains, the old ghost touched it lightly with the tips of his fingers, and then rubbed it on the belly of his fingers, and said: "The blood stains have not dried yet, it should have just been sprinkled not long ago." ”

As soon as they heard this, Liu Zhen and Shu Jingcheng took out their pistols and were on guard, but Ryazan, who had always been excited, was suddenly stunned at this time, he looked at the face on the white marble pillar in a daze, he always felt that the face seemed familiar.

"Ahh Ryazan finally remembered where he had seen this face, and he said: "I have seen this face. ”

Fan Jiyun was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" I see that the stone pillars here are carved for thousands of years, to say the least, how can you say that you have seen the faces on this before. ”

Ryazan stared at the face on the white marble pillar, as his memory slowly awakened, he was more sure of what he saw, and he said firmly: "That's right, I did see the owner of this face, it was seen in the underground palace in Yunnan, he seems to be called Qin Ye." ”

"Qin Ye?" The old ghost frowned and said, "I've heard of this person, he is a member of the Nanwu Group, and he has been acting as Zhang Hefang's military advisor in recent years. ”

Fan Jiyun said: "Then in this way, the people of Nanwu have already entered this underground palace, this bloodstain should not be that Qin Ye's." ”

Everyone looked down the white marble pillar and saw that the entire stone pillar was almost entirely covered with bloodstains, as if a person covered in blood had been dragged up from the stone pillar.

Fan Jiyun shone a flashlight at Lu, and suddenly gasped, only to see that on the top of the stone room, there was a person's corpse hanging upside down, the corpse was covered in blood, and there were blood stains on the face, but it looked like it had dried up. What's even more unbelievable is that the corpse's legs seem to be entangled in something white, sticking to the roof of the shed, like a silkworm chrysalis, but it hasn't been done yet.

Fan Jiyun took a flashlight at another angle, trying to see what was going on, and when he turned his head, a monster with a sharp beak and a hideous face poked its head out of the back of the corpse.

Shu Jingcheng reacted extremely quickly, immediately raised his pistol, and was about to shoot the monster with his open hand, but fortunately, the old ghost on the side saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Don't do it yet!" Shu Jingcheng didn't shoot rashly.

The monster was entrenched on top of Qin Ye's corpse, and it didn't come down, but just stared at Fan Jiyun desperately with a pair of blood-red eyes, as if it hated the strong light emitted by the flashlight in Fan Jiyun's hand.

The monster looked very similar to a bat, except that the thing's forelimbs were not connected to the wings behind it.

Everyone went to look at the monster, only to see that the corners of the monster's fanged mouth kept flowing out milky white saliva, which smeared this saliva on Qin Ye's corpse, and the saliva dried in the cold, and immediately turned into a hard shell, and the blink of an eye could wrap the corpse.

Liu Zhen looked at the monster and said: "I remember that spiders sometimes like to do this, they catch a prey, they are not in a hurry to eat, and in reality they use spider silk to entangle the prey and store it." ”

Ryazan said: "However, I think that guy is only half a man tall, it should be impossible to kill a person alone, besides, it is impossible for Nanwu's people to let him come alone, he must have helpers." ”

"Then there is only one situation," Shu Jingcheng also raised his flashlight to search above him, and said, "There is more than one monster." ”

Everyone sighed in their hearts, although they didn't know how lethal the monster was, but after all, there was some hair in their hearts. So they hurriedly probed around with their flashlights, and they never thought that the light of the flashlights in their hands would shoot back and forth on the roof of the shed, and suddenly wake up all the monsters entrenched on the top.

All of a sudden, the entire underground square was filled with the sound of chirping, and in the darkness in the distance, more and more small red dots opened up waiting for the five of them to see.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old ghost hurriedly said to Ryazan: "Flares. ”

Ryazan nodded in agreement, took out the flare from his backpack, and fired a shot diagonally upward, the flare emitted a strong and dazzling light, which immediately illuminated the entire underground square. When everyone looked up, their jaws almost fell off in surprise, only to see that the huge roof of the shed was full of white cicada-like things of all sizes, and it seemed that all of them were wrapped in human corpses, like corpse cocoons. And in the countless corpse cocoons, countless bat-like monsters slowly raised their heads like ghosts, staring at them.

"We—we seem to be making a noise until they go to sleep." Liu Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and clenched the gun in his hand, but he didn't have much hope for this gun, first, there were too many bat monsters here, and second, his marksmanship was really not good.

The bat monsters stared at blood-red eyes, and they all seemed to be ready to attack.

Shu Jingcheng has always paid attention to preemptive strikes, "bang bang bang" fired three shots in a row, his hands rose and fell, and three bat monsters fell from the roof of the shed, but everyone did not dare to clap their hands and applaud, because they were afraid that Shu Jingcheng's move would anger other monsters, causing them to attack them together.

But fortunately, although those bat monsters seemed to be annoyed and angry, they didn't dare to come and attack them, only to see that these bat monsters actually began to tear those corpse cocoons, they tore the corpse cocoons open a gap, and then directly bit off the part where the corpse cocoons and the roof were connected, and in a few seconds, four or five corpse cocoons fell to the ground.

As soon as the cocoons hit the ground, the corpses inside immediately writhed wildly, like babies struggling in the womb. Seeing this, the old ghost had already anticipated what was going to happen next, so he shouted at Shu Jingcheng and Ryazan: "Quick, break those corpse cocoons, let them die in the corpse cocoons, if they get out, it will be over." ”

Shu Jingcheng shot twice at the two white corpse cocoons, the bullets passed through the white corpse cocoons, and a stream of earthy yellow juice rushed out of them, and they vaguely heard the moaning sound inside the corpse cocoons. Ryazan picked up his spine staff and rushed forward to puncture several cocoons.

The old ghost took out the string of old copper coins from his waist, shook violently in the air, and said something in his mouth, and suddenly, his eyes widened angrily, and a few screams suddenly crossed the air, and a few wisps of soul followed the old ghost's call into the white corpse cocoon, and the corpse cocoon churned for a while, and then left the yellow juice from the crack.

The speed at which the old ghost manipulated the soul to destroy the corpse cocoon was staggering, but he still couldn't resist the number of corpse cocoons that crackled and fell from the roof of the shed like raindrops, and after a while, they were surrounded by white corpse cocoons, and several corpses in the corpse cocoons had already come out of it, skinless, and bloodily walking towards them.

Fan Jiyun felt numb in his palms when he shot an old bone, and he couldn't lift it, so he had to secretly give birth under the cover of Liu Zhen and Ryazan. All of a sudden, the scene was completely out of control.
