Chapter 17: The Female Corpse



Can the Demon Tower make people immortal?

Rehamman's last sentence suddenly made me feel very uncomfortable, according to experience, it is definitely not a good thing to have something to do with immortality. I subconsciously glanced at this wooden tower, hoping it wasn't the so-called Burning Finger Demon Tower.

After packing up the gear, we first made a chisel around the ice cave, then threw a rope about 20 meters into the hole, and then I carried the sorted and streamlined equipment bag, stuck the flashlight upside down on my waist, and began to follow the rope with the light down.

Gradually, I descended to a depth where the sunlight could not penetrate me, and even the shadow of Rehaman could not be seen.

The ice cave is relatively narrow, and at first you can see obvious traces of artificial excavation, however, when you go down to a depth of about 10 meters, the entrance widens, but this is obviously not man-made, and it can be seen that under this ice layer, it is actually a large ice cave.

The cold air in the cave is overwhelming, the silence is incomparable, this wooden tower is still not in the end, this feeling, reminds me of the bronze tree in the Qinling Mountains, and suddenly I have a feeling of Mao Sensen in my heart, however, just when I was concentrating on sliding down, the flashlight on my waist suddenly shone on something.

At first glance, it seems to be a figure.

And it was a figure climbing upward, about seven or eight meters underfoot.

I was startled at first, but quickly forced myself to compose, then I grabbed the rope with one hand to hold my body in place, stepped my feet on the wooden tower next to it, and then pulled off the flashlight from my waist and shone it downward.

This photo immediately confirmed what I had just seen.

At the end of the flashlight, on the wooden tower, climbed a man.

Due to the light and distance, I could only see a human figure, and his clothes, not like a modern one, and I was almost immediately sure that there should be a corpse underneath.

When I thought of this, I suddenly chuckled in my heart, and said that my luck should not be so good, this is really a Burning Finger Demon Tower, right?

The figure below remained motionless, maintaining the upward movement, as if staring at me from below, making the soles of my feet feel full. But my experience over the years is not in vain, although I was uneasy, I was not too afraid, so I plugged back the flashlight and continued to go down.

Soon, I shrank near the corpse.

The corpse was at my feet, it was erected in a strange position in the hollow position of the wooden tower, and due to the low temperature, the corpse was not only not decomposing, but lifelike, but its face was stiff and bruised, and it looked a little terrible.

This is a female corpse, the clothes on the body have obvious Tibetan characteristics, at the junction of Qinghai and Tibet, in the early past, almost has been assimilated by the Tibetans, so it is not surprising that there are Tibetan characteristics of clothing here.

The wooden tower itself has no place to stay, it is completely just made of round wood, there is no skeleton, no skin, and the wood itself is hollowed with a layer of ice, so it is very slippery, it stands to reason that this female corpse should not be able to stay on the wooden tower, unless it is because the corpse and the wooden tower are frozen together.

Although the face of the female corpse is terrifying, it is more terrifying than this, and I have seen a lot, so I patiently observed the part where the female corpse and the wooden tower were combined, and the strange thing is that the female corpse was not frozen.

I think it's a little strange, looking at the shape of this female corpse, it has been placed here for at least a few hundred years, and it should have been frozen with the wooden tower a long time ago, but now it is not the case?

What's going on?

Could it be that the female corpse often moves, so it is not frozen?

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I felt goosebumps all over my body, and I couldn't help but scold myself in my heart: Wu Xie, Wu Xie, it's not the first fucking time for you to fight, don't you know that the most taboo and blind thinking in the fight?

I forced the thought down, but the words of Rehaman came to my ears again, and he said...... The people on the Burning Finger Demon Tower are all alive.

I'm not sure if it's a Burning Finger Demon Tower, or why a female corpse pops up here, but the combination of extremely similar scenes makes it impossible not to think about it.

So, I decided to leave the female corpse alone and go on to see if anything I could find. I entered the mountain this time, not for the inverted bucket, but just to find the clues left by the stuffy oil bottle.

If the stuffy oil bottle really came here, then it proves that there must be some information he needs below, and I may be able to use this information to understand where the stuffy oil bottle is going next, and even, maybe I can learn about the past of the stuffy oil bottle, not the memory of the past forty years, but the longer past.

He is a living person, although sometimes he does not look like a person, but he definitely does not jump out of the cracks in the stone, he should always have parents, he should always have a hometown, he should always have a childhood, all of this, even the stuffy oil bottle himself has forgotten, and this place, maybe there will be some clues.

The stuffy oil bottle said that to find the end, he had to recover his lost memories.

When I thought of this, I was about to go on, but as soon as I turned my head, I happened to be opposite the face of the female corpse, I don't know if it was my delusion, I felt that the female corpse's eyes seemed to move.

This feeling made me feel very uncomfortable, and I immediately increased my speed of movement, but I only went down about two or three meters before my rope came to an end.

This time we prepared a total of two ropes, the first one is still hanging on the cliff, which we need to use when we go back, and the second one is the one in my hand, which is slightly shorter, only twenty meters, and now it is to the end, and then the wooden tower is still not finished.

I couldn't help but be secretly frightened, it seems that the height of this wooden tower is more than 20 meters.

How did this wood get into the mountains in ancient times? Under what difficult conditions was such a tower built?

I'm not sure if it's a bucket under this tower, but after seeing the female corpse, I feel that even if it's not a bucket, it's definitely not a good stubble. Just at the end of the rope, I saw a second corpse.

It was also a female corpse, the same was placed in the gap between the wooden towers, the clothes on her body were covered with a thin layer of ice slag, her face was stiff and bruised, and there was almost no difference from the female corpse above except for her posture.

I couldn't help but glance at the position where the female corpse and the wooden tower intersected, and sure enough, although the female corpse was safely parked on the wooden tower, it was not frozen with the wooden tower, as if it was constantly moving.

The idea came to my mind uncontrollably, and I felt a little dry on my tongue, and my intuition after a long time told me that there must be something bad hidden behind this situation.

Subconsciously, I took out a flashlight, looked up at the female corpse above me, and then the flashlight went over, but the wooden tower was empty.

I was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the cold hairs on my back stood on end in an instant.

Don't...... Am I misremembering?

I couldn't help but guess, so I moved the flashlight and shone it at the wooden tower above from different angles, and at this time, I saw the female corpse from before.

It was originally an upward female corpse, but at this moment, the posture has changed to climb down.

Deathly silence.

I felt that my breathing was heavy, and in the silent ice cave, it seemed very clear, and then, my first reaction was, there is a problem here, and there is a big problem!

I should go up first, and then think about it in the long run.

Although I really want to see what is at the bottom of the wooden tower, I still understand the reason why I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and judging from the situation in front of me, these female corpses are obviously problematic.

While thinking, I immediately put the flashlight in my mouth and pulled out the gun with my free hand, just in case. At the moment when I drew my gun, the female corpse above the wooden tower suddenly slid down!

Her emaciated body, like a slippery fish, slid along the gap between the wooden towers, in the wooden towers that were frozen out of a layer of ice, and in just a moment, she slid in front of me, because it was blocked by the female corpse in front of me, so the female corpse's head hit the female corpse's back, and a strange inverted T shape was formed between the two, the female corpse was headed down, her feet were facing the sky, and the wide Tibetan robe on her body was upside down, revealing the scene inside the female corpse's clothes.

is naked.

But it was absolutely impossible to arouse my impulse for the female body, because it was a corpse, and likewise, the skin under the clothes was a white, stiff lump of flesh, stiff towards the sky, with an indescribable strange feeling.

This sudden change shocked me subconsciously stopped breathing.

After the female corpse fell, parallel to my face, there were a pair of blue and white feet, except for the sound made when she fell and collided with another female corpse, I thought that the entire ice cave returned to a deathly silence.

Could it be a coincidence?

Is it because the wooden tower is too slippery, so the female corpse fell? Self-comforting to come up with this reason, I looked down, and in an instant, my heart really stopped.

As I lowered my head, the female corpse that had slid down slowly turned its head, her eyes moving stiffly, and then, a stiff smile appeared on her face......

As she laughed, the corners of her mouth became bigger and bigger, and I didn't think about it, only one thought: Zongzi corpse, run!

But before I could make a move, from the open mouth of the female corpse, a burst of black smoke suddenly appeared, and it sprayed on my face at once, because the distance was too close, I couldn't dodge at all, first I smelled a foul smell, and then my face was itchy and crisp, and there seemed to be countless small insects crawling again, and they crawled along the orifices of the human body while crawling down.

I instantly understood that it wasn't black smoke, it was a parasite.

But it was too late to wake up at this moment, because I was startled by the female corpse's smoke-breathing action, I subconsciously dodged, my hand slipped, and I was immediately planted off the rope.

Because there is a wooden tower next to it, there are wooden sticks that stretch out horizontally from time to time in the wooden tower, so just after falling, before experiencing the feeling of weightlessness in the heartbeat, the back hit a piece of wooden stick.

In an instant, there was a sharp pain in the back.

After this impact, the body slid off the wooden stick and fell down, followed by another bang, and the whole back twitched in pain. But I had the better luck this time, not a single stick, but several, so I was held up and didn't fall any further, while at the same time, almost all the squirting in my face was crawling down my nostrils.
