Chapter 5: Yan Cries Blood
After about three hours, there was no road ahead, so we drove into the dense bushes, marked it, and walked on foot with our gear on our backs.
Fortunately, there is Zheng Wen, a group of river diggers to lead the way, we soon came to the Eli River, at this time it was close to evening, I looked at the surrounding terrain along the afterglow, we were on the edge of a valley, because of the heavy water, the surrounding area looked very desolate, the Eli River is at the foot of the mountain, at a glance, those riverbeds are dry and cracked out of a huge crack, it feels like a spider web, a little scary.
The total length of the Eli River is more than 50 miles, it is in the shape of a circular arc, a bit like the neck of a goose, so it is called the Eli River, as the old road of the Yangtze River, the Eli River course is bent and bends, the folds that are full of eyes and the stone monuments erected all fully show the magnificent scenery at that time, and people can't help but sigh at the magic of nature.
After days of driving, I was already tired and half dead, rested for a night, and the next day we climbed down the river, Zheng Wen They are the people who dig the river, they are very familiar with this place, they lead the way, we avoid a lot of trouble, the big head and the big group of the two seem to be very compatible, only one night of hard work, began to say the south and the north, but also made the whole team a lot of joy.
Kong Sanye is following Zheng Wen's side, and from time to time he will say a few words, the river digger and the earth mouse also have a lot of similarities, one and two, you can increase your own knowledge and experience, but it can be regarded as a learning process, and I seem to be more unsociable, I am neither a soil mouse, nor a river digger, just to find the news of the old man, if it weren't for the old man, I wouldn't be too lazy to form a team with Zheng Wen and them.
In addition to me, Leng Dao is also a lonely person, he is holding a dagger in one hand, his eyes are surprisingly cold, it turns out that he used to be from the special forces, and then he committed an accident, Zhang Dahai's relationship to protect him, and since then he has become Zhang Dahai's exclusive bodyguard, and his personal force is naturally nothing to say.
Originally, I thought that the corpse raising ground was at most about ten square meters, but I didn't expect this corpse raising land to be so big, nearly 100 meters long and wide, no wonder Zheng Wen and they took the initiative to join our team, if it weren't for their leadership, maybe we wouldn't be able to find this place, because it was the bottom of the river, Kong Sanye's theory of earth rats naturally had no effect, so he had to follow behind Zheng Wen stupidly.
Under the leadership of Zheng Wen, we found the place where the Hidden Ghost Cup was born, due to the heavy water a few days ago, the traces were washed away, and it took us half a day to dig the edge of the corpse place, which made me, the person who took care of the store, a little distressed.
The big head is similar, half a day's work, but also grinded out the palm of the blister, full of dissatisfaction: "This hard work, but it is harder than moving bricks on the construction site, knowing that there is a lot of precipitation in the past few days, you should send someone to protect this place, save digging and digging, blind mixing." ”
"Big head, I don't like to hear what you say." As soon as the big head said this, Datuan immediately answered: "We river diggers pin our heads to work with our waists and protect the ground, don't we just tell the police that we are dumping things here, pigs won't do this, not to mention that we are still human." ”
"You're so sarcastic, do you want to quarrel?" Datou said that at this time he was on the bar with Datuan again, and they quarreled a lot along the way, but they were all jokes, not the kind of real contradictions, "As far as your thin body is concerned, you can't even be called a pig, at most you are a monkey, and you are an underdeveloped monkey." ”
Datuan laughed after hearing this, shook the shovel in his hand fiercely, and said with a smile: "My name is Jingjian, which is like you, not to mention the fat body, the head is very big, it must be filled with water, otherwise the brain will not be able to turn up." ”
I shook my head on the side, these two must have been enemies in their previous lives, otherwise they wouldn't be so wrong, and this work is indeed too tiring, everyone rushed out of the fire, and talking can adjust the mood.
At this moment, I felt the shovel hit something hard, and it shook my mouth a little painfully, and several people around me also heard strange noises, and they all came over and dug into my area.
I took a few deep breaths and quickly increased my strength, and when I struck something heavy again, a dark liquid squirted out from under the shovel, which was black and gave a disgusting smell like rotten flesh, and at the same time, I saw a little red dot mixed with the black liquid.
I fixed my mind and looked at the red dot, which seemed to be a kind of insect, the size of a thumb, with a shell, and a pair of huge iron tongs under its jaw, with teeth and claws, and it pounced on us at once, flying at an astonishing speed, and by the time I reacted, I had already been bitten by a strange insect.
"It's not good, it's a blood corpse worm, run quickly!" It was actually Kong Sanye who spoke, after he finished speaking, his body turned over, jumped into the pit lightly, took out the fire oil in the package and sprinkled it, and immediately lit a fire.
The raging fire almost filled the entire hole, and the insects were burned to ashes as soon as they came into contact with the fire, and the corpses fell to the ground, a thick pile, and the smell was very disgusting. I ran relatively slowly, my hair was burned by the flames, my face was unkempt, and my face was red from the laughter of the big group and the big head, so I asked Kong Sanye what a blood corpse insect was.
Kong Sanye said that the blood corpse insect is a kind of insect that feeds on the carrion of the corpse, they have a strong reproductive ability, often there will be thousands of blood corpse insects on a corpse, this kind of insect is extremely fond of flesh and blood, once found, it will be desperate to bite it, although it is non-toxic, but the bite force is very strong, and it can easily tear apart the flesh and blood.
It's just that Kong Sanye doesn't understand a little, the blood corpse insects are afraid of the sun, and most of them survive in a dark place like the tomb, this is the old road of the Yangtze River, and it stands to reason that they will not encounter it here.
"Third master, look!" The big head pointed to the pit, in the dense corpses of blood corpses, there seemed to be something gushing out, I subconsciously thought that there were still blood corpse insects rushing out, and the fire oil was tightly copied in my hand, but I didn't expect that it was not the blood corpse insects that spewed out, but a stream of water that was as red as blood, and soon the entire pit was flooded.
Zheng Wen and a group of river diggers came over and comforted us, saying that this phenomenon has become phoenix blood, which means that there are ancient bronze artifacts buried under this piece, and the times have passed, and those bronze artifacts have been oxidized, and they will be dyed red when they encounter water, so let's not pay too much attention to it, they have seen too much of this imagination.
As soon as he heard the bronze ware, the two eyes of the big head gave off a light, rubbed his hands, and looked like he was going down to dig up the bronze utensils, and then the big group said, this piece is a corpse raising place, and the ghost cup is dug out from here, if you are not afraid of death, you can dig it however you want. The big head was immediately relieved, the last time he hid the ghost cup, he had just recovered his strength, and if he did it again, he would collapse.
Kong Sanye stood quietly to the side, he looked at the red pit below, and said with a solemn expression: "When you first dug this land, did this phenomenon occur every time you dug it?" Zheng Wen nodded, they had dug a total of three times before and after, plus this time it was four times, all of which were the phenomenon of phoenix blood, and he also said that if this was not a corpse raising place, he would have led someone to dig out all the bronze artifacts, and the more fierce the phenomenon of phoenix blood, the more bronze artifacts there were.
I saw that something was wrong with Kong Sanye's face, and immediately asked him what was going on, and Kong Sanye said: "I'm afraid this phenomenon is not phoenix blood, but swallow blood!" ”
He explained to us that I knew that this Yan Cry Blood is a kind of fierce scene, this kind of imagination means that the resentment is strong and persistent, it is a kind of Jedi, like this kind of place, there must be a great murderous thing buried underneath, and this red liquid is not an oxidation product, but a formation after soaking the corpse for a long time, that is, corpse water.
Zheng Wen asked Kong Sanye if he was mistaken, Kong Sanye smiled bitterly, saying that he had just looked at the terrain of this whole area, showing an extremely strong yin and evil aura, coupled with the appearance of blood corpse insects, he could be very sure that this land was Yan Cry Blood, if he guessed correctly, the Hidden Ghost Cup was just one of the appendages of the great evil thing.
I can't help but be a little afraid, such a fierce artifact as the Hidden Ghost Cup, is just a small appendage, if it is a real big thing, how terrifying it will be, and at this time, there are more and more red liquids in the pit, and we can all smell an extremely pungent fishy smell.
Kong Sanye glanced at the pit and asked Zheng Wen: "Zhong Asi excavated this corpse breeding ground for the first time, if you extrapolate it according to the time, is it in the seventh month of the lunar calendar?" ”
Zheng Wen thought for a moment, then nodded, Kong Sanye slapped his thigh fiercely, and said that we must leave here before dark, otherwise there will be big trouble, but as soon as he finished saying this, the sun just completely disappeared on the other side of the mountain, and the whole sky immediately darkened.
