Wushan Demon Coffin Chapter 31 Human Coffin
ο»Ώ
Now let's not talk about riding up, it's hard for us to climb the tree steadily, so what can we do?
The rain was cold and sticky on his body, and Lao Hu couldn't think of a way at the moment, his brows furrowed into a knot. How can we escape the current situation? If only there was a heel rope now.
Rope?
I suddenly found that it was less than a meter away from me, there was a turquoise rattan hanging down, I was happy in my heart, quickly reached out to grab it, pulled it, found that the rattan was quite strong, immediately sandwiched the tree between my legs, climbed up along the rattan, with its help, I climbed very fast, and soon reached the canopy, and I didn't have time to observe the surrounding environment, and immediately raised my gun to shoot at the crocodile under the tree.
The position of the fat man and Lao Hu was relatively low, and now due to the impact of the crocodile, they could not reach the rattan, so they could only stand still. I was furious, raising my gun and firing, the crocodile's snoring echoed through the rainy night, and the dark red blood covered the swamp.
I was almost red-eyed, but at this point, the rest of the crocodiles finally knew they were scared and quickly dived into the swamp, occasionally showing a pair of eyes to observe us. Those eyes, cold and bloodthirsty, seem to want to eat our flesh to avenge their companions.
Without the impact of the crocodile, the fat man and Lao Hu quickly grabbed the rattan and climbed up, and the three of us sat on the branches of the tree and looked at each other, pinching each other in a cold sweat. Lao Hu patted me on the shoulder, palpitated, and said, "Thanks to you just now." β
I shook my head and looked at the crocodiles lurking in the mud below, which would pounce on us and tear us apart if we went.
The fat man fiddled with the rattan and said, "Now go down, I see, let's learn from the little brother to climb on the tree, the fat man has observed, the trees here, the canopy is basically staggered, brother be careful, there should be no problem." β
I didn't have a good impression of these vines since Yabda's visit, and I looked around us, and now we were sitting on a large branch, and there were many parasitic vines in the canopy, and there were small purple flowers in the center of the vines, and there was not much left of the night's wind and rain.
The gap between the trees is not large, the branches are basically reaching into each other's domain, and the trunk is thick, which can fully bear the weight of the three of us. I thought for a moment, and then said, "It's not far from the other side of the swamp now, it's a pity to give up, since we can't go down, we just go forward." β
Lao Hu wiped the rain on his face, nodded, and said: "Wu Xie is right, I think that little brother must have seen something, although he is powerful, but since we are an organization, we can't let him go into danger alone." β
Lao Hu has only seen the stuffy oil bottle to cut the bear, and he has not seen the means of the stuffy oil bottle to make the zongzi kneel, and now it seems that he is more worried about the safety of the stuffy oil bottle than me. Since we had the same goal, we didn't say anything more, tightened our bags, and began to crawl on the rainy night.
It had rained a lot, but the trunks were still slippery, and we walked carefully with every step, crawling between the interspersed trunks, but the crocodile still did not give up, and kept following us in the swamp, sometimes seeing the bare back.
Lao Hu was highly alert and took the lead in the front, and some of the short branches that were more in the way were quickly solved by him with a dagger, which was convenient for me and the fat man.
I used to hear the fat man say that he had been fighting for more than ten years, and I had always wondered how he survived when he first started fighting, but now I understand that men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and they are afraid of finding the wrong partner.
The fat man was fortunate to follow Lao Hu back then, otherwise, he might have been martyred for the tomb owner in which bucket.
We didn't speak all the way, and we walked intently between the trunks, and when we were in the middle of the day, Lao Hu beckoned to me and said, "Flashlight." In order to make it easier for me to climb the tree, the flashlight was inserted on the back of my neck, Lao Hu turned his head to look at it, directly reached out and pulled it out, and then took a picture outside, and his brows furrowed.
I started with the flashlight, and my vision was blurry due to my slight myopia and rain, but I could faintly see in the distance that the swamp had come to an end, but strangely, there were still no trees at the end, and there were not even a few fallen leaves, and it seemed to be a black land.
The tree we were in was about six or seven meters away from the black soil from the shore, and the middle was still a swamp.
If I'm not mistaken, the stuffy oil bottle was on that shore to respond to our signal at that time, but at this moment, except for the sound of rain, there is silence in the four fields, could it be that the stuffy oil bottle has gone to other places?
I calculated, except for the time when we were besieged by crocodiles, we were very fast all the way, and there was not too much time between the communication signals at that time, and where could the stuffy oil bottle go during this short period of time?
"How did you get there?" The fat man looked at the situation on the other side and compared the distance between them, we are not long jump champions, how can we jump six or seven meters at once, even if we are professional athletes, this distance is enough.
Lao Hu looked around, a Sichuan character wrinkled between his eyebrows, and then, he grabbed the rattan on the tree, weighed it a few times, and said, "Swing over." "I looked at the crocodile in the swamp and thought it was enough, the reality is not an American adventure drama, and not everyone has the courage to swing over the crocodile's head.
Moreover, the crocodile has a strong explosive power in an instant, and can straighten up and jump two or three meters out of the water, which is in case of a miss......
The fat man patted himself on the fat body, a little embarrassed, and said, "This is very risky." β
Lao Hu didn't say a word, took off his equipment bag, tied it to the end of the rattan, and then put it down, and his hands began to shake the rattan.
The rattan slowly swung up, swinging higher and higher, swinging faster and faster, when swinging in the direction of the shore, Lao Hu fiercely cut off the vine, and the equipment bag carried a vine, and landed steadily on the shore.
As soon as the fat man saw that the experiment was successful, he immediately cheered up and said, "Let the fat man take the lead, naΓ―ve, you are the second, and the fat man will pick you up on the shore at that time." I scolded: "Who asked you to pick it up, damn, I'll come first." Provoked by the fat man's words, I immediately found a vine, tried the firmness, and then pulled it around my hand twice, took two deep breaths, and jumped down like jumping off a cliff, and the vine was shaken vigorously, and immediately swayed.
After the initial loss of gravity, I calmed down, with the arc of the rattan force, gradually swinging faster and faster, when the rattan swing to only about three meters above the ground, I suddenly let go of my hand, the whole person fell over.
After landing on the ground, I rolled directly to cushion the force of the fall, and then, I stared at the halo on the tree, beckoned to them, and motioned for the fat man and Lao Hu to continue.
At this moment, I found that neither of them had any intention of coming over, because the vision was blurry, I couldn't see the expressions of the two clearly, but the fat man seemed to be waving at me, grandma's, did you think it was an air performance, and waved to the audience at a critical time?
I didn't care if he could see it or not, glared at the fat man, and shouted: "What do you see, you can't come over, don't worry, there is a young master, and you can't break your fat body." The fat man waved his hand for a moment, and then, suddenly raised the gun at me, I was shocked, this has never happened, the fat man can't shoot me, and there is no reason to shoot me, is it......
My scalp was numb, and I immediately looked behind me, and a headless black figure stood at the end of the light, as if it was walking towards me.
Immediately after, gunshots rang out.
"Bang!"
As if something had been hit, the headless black shadow suddenly disappeared, and I heard a bang in my ears, as if something had fallen.
Immediately afterwards, the fat man and Lao Hu pulled a vine and swung over at the same time.
After Lao Hu landed on the ground, he rolled on the spot, immediately half-squatted on the ground, raised his gun in the direction where the black shadow appeared before, and after a long time there was no movement, Lao Hu put on his equipment bag, and the three of us looked at each other, and held the gun at the same time, just like the police who went to catch the robbers in the TV series, close together, raising their guns and walking forward quickly.
At this moment, at the end of the flashlight, something strange appeared, to be exact, it was a wooden figurine, without a head, like a humanoid coffin, directly in front of it, near the position of the neck, a hole was broken, revealing the wood that was about to rot.
The three of us looked at each other, could it be that the headless figure just now was this thing?
The fat man frowned and said, "No, I'm packing the ticket, that thing just now came out of nowhere, if I lie to you, my king character will be written upside down." "It's okay if the fat man doesn't say it, but I don't believe it when I say it, but I haven't seen this kind of human-shaped, coffin-like thing.
"What is this?" Lao Hu is well-informed, I asked him.
Lao Hu's expression was a little strange, he quickly looked around, and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." β
The fat man shook his flashlight around, suddenly hissed, and said, "Look there, there are footprints, they must be the little brother!." "I looked in the direction of the light, and there were a row of footprints on the black dirt ground, and the footprints were very shallow, and I could see that the steps of the person walking were very light, and the body should not be heavy.
I saw that Lao Hu seemed to be a little taboo, so I nodded and said, "Let's go." "We followed the trail of footprints, and the more we went, the more frightened I became, because I was shocked to find that this was a mass grave, and not a single tree had grown, not even grass.
In some rural areas, there is a saying that if there is no grass on the grave, there must be something wrong with the dead inside.
But here, there is no grass growing in the whole mass grave.
After walking a few steps, you can see large and small mounds of earth, some of which are large pits, revealing yellowed bones, and I don't know which part of the body they are, and finally, the series of footprints suddenly disappeared.
The fat man looked around and exclaimed, "There are no trees around here, why did the little brother disappear again?" β
I had a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart, the footprints had disappeared in front of a small mound of earth, could it be that the stuffy oil bottle had flown into the sky?
This is obviously unlikely, and I said, "Let's look around." β
Soon, on the opposite side of the small mound, we found a hole, the hole was a little strange, about enough for a person to enter, but this hole gave people a very strange feeling, I just wanted to reach out and touch it, Lao Hu's expression changed, and said, "Don't move!" β
