When the professor saw this scene, he felt as if he was in a dream, as if he had read the illustrations of a horror novel when he was a child, and the mysterious horror in the unreal, and the clothes wet with dew and the gentle breeze reminded the professor that this was not a terrible and illusory dream, but a real reality. The professor's heart was beating wildly, he took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, and desperately controlled his almost collapsed feelings.

But then, an even more terrifying scene happened:

The statue of a naked woman in stone suddenly let out a slight moan, and the professor felt that his scalp was numb and buzzing, and he almost fainted, he had never felt such a strong sense of fear since he was a child.

How could this stone statue possibly make a sound? I must be hallucinating, because people in extreme fear will hallucinate, the professor thought silently in his heart, trying to maintain his rational thinking.

With trembling hands and clumsy pulls a cigar out of his pocket, he lights it tremblingly and takes several large puffs in quick succession. Sure enough, it worked, and the mood was much calmer. But at that moment, the professor not only heard the stone statue moaning louder, but also coughed, as if it had choked on cigar smoke.

The professor realized that this was indeed not a hallucination, moaning and coughing, and that it was indeed the stone statue with no facial features.

The professor rubbed it, pulled out his revolver, then aimed it at the stone statue, and shouted loudly in Chinese: "You are a human or a ghost, stand up quickly, or I will kill you with a shot, do you hear?"

After saying that, the professor first shot the sky. This shot was particularly loud in the silent night, startling a few groups of mountain birds in the trees next to them, fluttering and flying.

After shouting and shooting, the professor felt that he was much bolder, he took out his flashlight, shone it at the stone statue on the ground, and under the light of the flashlight, he carefully observed.

Judging by the texture and color of the outside, it was indeed a stone, but to the professor's surprise, the stone was moving slightly, as if it were alive, and not only that, but the groans, coughs, and faint wheezing sounds did indeed come from the stone statue.

The professor stared there for a few minutes, still unable to believe his eyes or reality.

Suddenly, perhaps because he was too excited, his right hand with the gun shook violently, and the fingers on the trigger subconsciously pulled it, only to hear a bang, a bullet entered through the muzzle, and then hit the stone statue.

Generally speaking, at such a close distance, it is very dangerous to shoot a stone directly with a gun, because the bullet is often directly reflected back by the stone and becomes a ricochet, which is almost exactly the same lethal as a bullet fired directly. Not only is this kind of direct reflection ricochet, but it has a strong lethality, that is, a bullet fired two or three times through a stone can be fatal.

But something unexpected happened - after the bullet hit the stone statue, it was not reflected back, but pounced and hit it, not only that, but under the light of the flashlight, the professor was surprised to find that blood was oozing from the stone statue!

How can a stone still bleed? What's going on? Almost at the same time, the stone statue suddenly screamed, and its body began to shake violently, as if it was very painful, exactly like the reaction of an ordinary woman to being shot by a bullet, but because it had no facial features, it could not see the facial expression of the stone statue, but only its body, writhing and struggling violently, and the rainbow above it also suddenly shook and disappeared quickly, as if it was blown away by the wind.

At this point, the professor's mind was completely confused, because according to normal logic, he could no longer explain what was happening in front of him. He just stood there with a cigar in his mouth, a flashlight in his left hand, a gun in his right hand, and stared blankly at the stone statue struggling and moaning in pain, and after a long time, it gradually became motionless, as if completely dead, and blood flowed all over the ground, and the blood had a strong fishy smell, which was very different from the smell of ordinary human blood.

I don't know how long it took for the professor's mind to calm down, and he slowly realized that this was a strange mountain in the first place, and all kinds of strange things could happen here, and what happened tonight was just one of many mysterious phenomena.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in college, the tutor who had a deep study of various mysterious phenomena of human beings had told him such a thing:

A few decades ago, stone tablets engraved with ancient characters were found in some tombs of thousands of years in the plains of Mesopotamia, and philologists deciphered these ancient scripts and found that these inscriptions recorded such a legend - in a mysterious mountain, where stones can also be conceived, as long as human or animal ** drops on it, the stone can develop into a human form or various animal shapes.

But the vast majority of fertilized stones will only take the form of a man or a beast, and will not have life, they will still be nothing more than stones. However, there are very few such fertilized stones, which can be transformed into living human or animal forms due to various factors such as time and special circumstances.

The inscription also records that three hunters of a certain tribe were attacked by monkey-shaped stones and were killed when they went hunting on this mountain. Only one of them fled desperately, and since then, hunters in the tribe have often been bitten to death by this monkey with a stone appearance, and the people of the tribe are very frightened, thinking that they have offended the mountain god, so they burn the two most beautiful girls in the tribe alive, and then sacrifice them to the mountain god.

But it didn't work, and there were still hunters who were attacked to death by this stone-like monster. This phenomenon has been going on for decades.

Archaeologists didn't seem to pay much attention to this kind of account at first, they thought it was just a legend, how could such a thing happen in reality?

However, something incredible happened.

With the subsequent archaeological excavations, archaeologists found a strange kind of stone, some of which were shaped like monkeys, some like foxes, some like people, in short, like different kinds of animals, and from the shape alone, not ordinary similarity, but extremely similar, as if it was carefully sculpted by man.

Some archaeologists initially thought that these were just animal fossils, but after further research, they were surprised to find that they were not fossils.

Because if it were a fossil, there would have been a residue of the internal structure of these animals, but there was nothing in these stones, just stones.

Since it is not a fossil, it must have been carved by humans. But after testing with modern instruments, archaeologists were even more surprised to find that these animal-shaped stones had no traces of carving at all, and studied the texture of their interiors in detail, and the archaeologists came to a conclusion that these animal-shaped stones were by no means artificially carved, but completely grown like this by the stones themselves.

But no one can say why the stone spontaneously grew into the shape of an animal, and still looks so vivid. It was only later that some historians thought of the legend that some of the stones on that mountain could be fertilized and developed into the shape of various animals. Although from the perspective of modern science, it is still impossible to explain this mysterious phenomenon, the professor was also very curious when he listened to the tutor talk about this, and he also specially asked the tutor what he thought about this matter, because he knew that the tutor almost always had his own unique views on the mysterious phenomena in the world.

The teacher told him that the fertilized stone is not really a stone, but a special organism that develops into a stone on the outside of the mountain because of the special environment. This special organism, once it encounters the sperm of an animal, in a special environment, will develop into that kind of monster.

Thinking of this, the professor seemed to understand something when he looked at the stone nude statue in front of him. Could it be that some of the characteristics of this mountain are the same as the one mentioned by the guru? And is the female ** statue in front of you the special "stone" that the mentor said?

Just when the professor was stunned, suddenly he felt that the ground under his feet was shaking slightly, and then it seemed to rumble from the inside of the mountain, and he seemed to feel that the qiē in front of him was slowly moving, and next to the "naked female stone", a crack suddenly slowly appeared, and the crack became bigger and bigger, until the crack was more than a meter wide, and then it slowly stopped.

At this time, I don't know if it was because he had adapted to the environment, or because he was bolder because of the pistol in his hand, anyway, when the crack slowly cracked, although the professor was still surprised, he was no longer as helpless as just now, he held a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, vigilantly and calmly shining on the crack to guard against possible dangers.

When the crack was still, there were several terrible screams from inside, which seemed to be in a well, with a strong echo.

Immediately after, something black slowly crawled out along the edge of the crack. The professor hurriedly took the flashlight and shone it over, and under the light of the flashlight, the professor could clearly see that there was a naked woman with the appearance and texture of a stone, as if the stone statue had suddenly come to life, and this "stone girl" crawled out, making a terrible strange cry from her mouth. It's chilling.

The professor used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the face of the "stone girl", which was different from the one who had just been killed, and the face of the "stone girl" had clear facial features, although the facial features were extremely rough and terrifying.

When the flashlight hit it, the "stone girl" suddenly bared her teeth, accompanied by a terrible cry, the long, sharp teeth, showing out of her lips, and her eyes were like rabbits, glowing red.

The professor's heart shrank in fright, he clenched the revolver in his right hand, and almost grabbed it again, but this time he tried to control it, because he didn't want to shoot this weird "stone girl" to death so soon, he needed to keep alive and learn about the origin of these monsters.
