Chapter 32: The Worm Coffin
Chapter 32: The Worm Coffin
When I remember when I was young, I heard an old saying that "it is better to hear a ghost cry than to see a ghost laugh".
Whether it is a lonely ghost or an old corpse in the mountains, ordinary people always like to associate ghosts with bitter cries when they mention ghosts, especially female ghosts. It's never a good thing to bump into ghosts, but as the old saying goes, it's better for a ghost to cry than to laugh.
Ordinary ghosts and ghosts are tired of resentment and weeping, which is terrible, but fortunately, this kind of ghosts still have some human nature and can still be reasonable. However, if the ghost you encounter is not crying, but laughing, then be careful. Ghosts laugh because they are angry, these ghosts do not feel sorry for themselves, they are bent on killing the living, they are very dangerous, and they can't communicate at all.
Right now, that's the case with the figure in front of us. Although he didn't laugh out loud, the shriveled lips grinned, and everyone was still creepy. I looked at the coffin next to me, and found that the coffin was opened at some point, probably, the zombie in front of me came out of it.
I've seen a lot of lonely soul monsters, but the real human zombie, it's the first time I've seen it, and I'm so frightened that I retreat straight behind Zhang Hefang.
Zhang Hefang didn't look scared, but his expression also looked a little nervous, and Bin Zi on the side even charged slightly, and I also took out my pistol and waited for it, Xiao Xia seemed to have a lot of research on the dead body, and there was not much fear on his face. However, no matter what, among the few of us, the most calm is still that Long Bujin. She stared at the zombie with her hands down.
Just as we were staring at the zombie in front of us for fear that he would suddenly stand up and attack us, there was a slight noise behind us.
I hurriedly turned around, and found that behind us, the lid on the top of another hexagonal coffin had been opened, and a gray-blue dry hand suddenly stretched out, as if it was about to crawl out of the coffin.
Bin Zi was bold, and he didn't say much when he saw this situation, and pulled out the short knife that was originally tied to his calf and cut off the zombie's arm, just listening to the "ding", although the zombie's skin and flesh were all broken, but the bones were intact. Bin Zi saw that it was not a solution, and actually stepped on the head of the zombie who was about to crawl out of the coffin with his foot.
However, we soon found that this method did not work at all, because, after a while, almost all the lids of the hexagonal coffins around us were opened in an instant, and a group of zombies began to try to crawl out of the coffins.
Bin Zi looked at the situation in front of him and scolded: "What a fucking evil sect, there was nothing at all just now, why are they all corpses changed at this moment." ”
As the zombies began to crawl out of their coffins one by one, the stone chamber began to fill the stone chamber with a strong smell that looked like rotten oranges. Xiao Xia sniffed it, was shocked, and said, "This is the smell of corpse grass." ”
Bin Zi nervously looked at the zombies that kept crawling out around him, and said, "What kind of corpse grass is not corpse grass, I just want to know how these ghost things suddenly came out." ”
Xiao Xia said: "These corpses are not corpses, they should be zongzi themselves, but they were suppressed with corpse grass before." ”
The corpses had all crawled out of the coffin by this time, looking around one by one, as if they were figuring out where they were, like someone who had just woken up.
Bin Zi was a little anxious, and said: "Xiao Xia, your specialty is the witch doctor, you said that these things were suppressed by the corpse grass, then you can get some more corpse grass to suppress them." ”
Xiao Xia clenched the pistol and glanced at Binzi, and said, "Do you think it's so easy to get the corpse grass?" Moreover, although its name is Corpse Grass, it is not actually made of one type of grass, but is made of a variety of herbs, and it is impossible for me to configure it here. Moreover, in order for the corpse grass to be effective, it needs to meet many conditions, such as oxygen content and temperature, etc., we have been here for so long, and we have torches, the light has become stronger, the temperature has increased, and the carbon dioxide we exhale has increased greatly, all of which will cause the corpse grass to lose its effect and bring them back to life. Moreover, these zongzi seem to be able to know that they are not corpses at all, they are made into zongzi by others. ”
"Bang"!
Binzi fired a gunshot, and instantly shattered the head of a zombie, but the zombie didn't dare to be afraid at all without a head, and still walked towards Binzi step by step. At this time, the zombie that had been crouching there also stood up and began to walk towards us.
"Holy!" Bin Zi scolded: "It's the first time I've seen a dumpling with a broken head still moving, who did this?" ”
I looked at the situation in front of me, and immediately remembered the water corpses in Kurosawa Lake, and said: "It is very likely that they were made by the priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom, have you forgotten the water corpses in Kurosawa, these zombies may exist to protect the burial pit." ”
"Bang!" I also fired a shot at a zombie coming at me, but I didn't hit the head, only the chest.
I regretted it a little after I shot it, because the zombies seemed to be particularly sensitive to sound, and after we shot them, the zombies moved significantly faster.
However, even then, we have to shoot, otherwise it may be too late by the time the zombies surround us. Bin Zi began to strafe with a slight charge, and took advantage of a gap to turn around and shout at Bu Jin: "Since they are like water corpses, then you can chant a spell again and let them stop attacking us." ”
As soon as Bin Zi finished saying this, a zombie's arm smashed into his head like a hammer. Binzi dodged, but he was still hit the shoulder, his body was weak, and he almost knelt on the ground, which shows the strength of the zombie, not only that, the zombie's nails were like steel nails, directly cutting Binzi's skin, and his shoulder suddenly blood gushed out. And those zombies became even more arrogant when they smelled blood in the air, and after a while, it was like a vicious circle, and there were two dozen zombies besieging us, and now they were almost standing opposite us.
All of a sudden, gunshots rang out in the stone chamber. Binzi's two shuttle bullets quickly ran out, but instead of putting down his gun, he smashed the zombie's skull with the butt. Zhang Hefang's pistol also followed, and all the bullets were exhausted, and he also showed his embarrassed appearance.
I still have plenty of bullets, so I'm in front of everyone for the time being, but looking at their reactions one by one, I feel that I may have overestimated them before. I thought they could be like the ghost catchers in the novel or movie, and they could kill a zombie by dividing it by two, but now I realize that wizards are not as invincible as I imagined, and zombies are not as fragile as I imagined. Now, most of the zombies' bodies have been completely damaged by our bullets, but they continue to run towards us, and the battle soon enters the stage of bayonets.
When my bullet missed, I picked up my pistol and smashed it at a zombie's head, but my own hand was numb from the shock, but the zombie's head was nothing, and we were quickly cornered to the end of the wall.
Bu Jin wanted to cast a spell, but there was no time, and the black-pressed zombies kept pouring towards us. Zhang Hefang handed me the torch, but it didn't work, I often hit the zombies on one side with the torch, and the zombies on the other side rushed over.
Seeing that he was at the end of his rope and fell into despair, Zhang Hefang suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted something strange loudly, and then he rushed in front of a zombie like a madman, and his thumb poked into the zombie's eye socket like a steel nail.
Naturally, the zombie doesn't feel pain, but he still has a shocking hole in his eye socket. I was wondering why Zhang Hefang was doing this, when suddenly, Zhang Hefang's wrist flipped, and a bug with a large head and a hard shell and small tentacles burrowed into the zombie's head along the zombie's eye socket.
It's a corpse tick! I still have a deep impression of this strange Gu worm, because it was such a Gu worm that manipulated my mother's body in the first place. Although I now know that it is very likely that I am not her biological at all, after all, after living together for more than 20 years, I still have a deep friendship with her. This time, watching Zhang Hefang use this Gu technique again, I didn't know what it was like to be in my heart.
After the corpse tick burrowed into the zombie's head, the zombie was stunned for a moment, and then its whole body stood there straight, motionless. Then, Zhang Hefang made a spell, and then quickly recited a large number of spells in his mouth, pointing sharply at the other zombies.
Suddenly, the zombie that had been burrowed into the head by the tick was like one of our people, and began to do everything in our power to help us stop the other zombies.
My eyes lit up and I said, "This is a good solution, quick, are there any more corpse ticks?" ”
Zhang Hefang shook his head and said, "My Dao is no better than that of the Dragon Girl and the Gu Master, and the corpse tick cannot carry too much Gu worm, otherwise it will be easy to be counterattacked." After speaking, Zhang Hefang turned his head to Bu Jin and said, "Dragon girl, take advantage of the vacancy, you can quickly recite the mantra." ”
Bu Jin nodded, and she did the same preparatory movements as under Lake Kurosawa, and then began to chant the incantation aloud, as usual, as if the chanting did not come from her throat, but from the surrounding walls. However, this time, the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade on Bu Jin's chest did not emit any light, could it be that the spell failed?
Bu Jin tried several times to no avail, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
Binzi saw this situation and said, "What's the matter? Why doesn't it work? ”
Zhang Hefang frowned and said: "Impossible, the spell of the earth royal attendant plus the spirit demon jade, there is no reason to fail, unless there is a situation, that is, these zombies voluntarily became zombies to guard the burial pit of the priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom before their deaths." ”
I took a breath and said to myself that there are really all kinds of crazy people in this world, and it is really hard to understand that someone would voluntarily make someone into a zombie in order to help others protect something.
In the blink of an eye, the zombie controlled by Zhang Hefang had almost been dismantled by his kind, but the zombie was very hardworking, seeing that his body was about to be torn apart by other zombies, he actually pounced out at once, knocking down three or four zombies.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Hefang was about to step forward to retrieve the Gu worm and press it on the other zombies again, but as soon as he took a step, a zombie's claw smashed over, impartially, and smashed directly on Zhang Hefang's back.
Bin Zi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rushed to Zhang Hefang's side to help, this time a part of the zombies had been led over by the two of them, and the gap in front of our eyes was re-exposed. I was holding the torch, and suddenly I noticed something strange - the hexagonal coffins in the four corners of the stone chamber had not been opened, but had been placed there quietly, and nothing unusual was noticed. Moreover, of all the hexagonal coffins, only the four corners did not emit any light.
My intuition told me that these four coffins must be extraordinary, and I even had a strong urge to tell me that these four coffins were the only way to save us. However, it is a coffin after all, and so many coffins are full of zombies, and it is impossible to guarantee that these four coffins contain even more vicious zombies. However, this intuition is very strong, because compared to other coffins, these four coffins are too unusual.
I wanted to rush over and open the coffin, but I was afraid that I would poke a leak, so I couldn't help but look back at Bu Jin, and was surprised to find that she had also discovered this strange phenomenon, and, as if I had a heart, she said directly to me: "Go and open those four coffins." ”
With Bu Jin's words, I don't know why, I no longer hesitated, including Xiao Xia, the three of us immediately ran towards the coffin in the four corners, and after Bin Zi saved Zhang Hefang, he also took Zhang Hefang to the coffin in a corner.
I looked at the coffin in front of me, and the sound of zombies approaching behind me made me scramble, hoping that these four coffins would save our lives.
I quickly opened the coffin, and the first thing that caught my eye was a black thing, accompanied by a small sound of "swishing, hissing", and after a while, the black thing came out of it like black water, I looked closely, and couldn't help crying: "Fuck, it's not a lifesaver at all, it's a bunch of bugs!" ”
