Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 63 Petroglyphs
The speed of the human-faced fish was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, I raised my foot and kicked the Lantern Festival out in a hurry. As a result, the human-faced fish pounced and hit the cliff wall hard.
I thought I could knock it out, but I didn't expect this guy to be very tenacious, twisted a few times, turned around and pounced again. The huge and powerful tail flicked and rolled the seven meat and eight vegetables that I and Lantern Xiao took to the side.
Lantern Xiao shot in a hurry, but the bullets attenuated very badly in the water, so it was difficult to cause effective damage to the human-faced fish, and a few bullets hit its body, and I felt that it didn't even penetrate the scales.
Immediately after that, the human-faced fish shrank and rushed towards the Lantern Festival again, at this time, the Lantern Festival breath had reached the limit, and it began to float desperately to breathe. In a trance, I seemed to see the human-faced fish floating up, and I began to gesture desperately to Lantern Xiao, but he couldn't see it at all.
Suddenly, I saw a figure flickering, it was Wenmo. I saw that he suddenly turned on the flashlight and shone it into the eyes of the human-faced fish.
Creatures that live in the dark generally have two extremes of vision, either extremely strong or extremely poor, like those whose eyes have deteriorated.
I didn't expect this human-faced fish who had lived in the dark for a long time to have visual ability. This explosion in the darkness had a greater effect on the human-faced fish with excellent eyesight, making it temporarily blind, so it quickly dodged, temporarily gave up the Lantern Festival, and swam to the side to lurk.
I swam to Lantern Xiao's side, only to see him gasping for breath, the wound on his forehead was torn again, and he was still oozing blood.
Seeing me swim over, Lantern Xiao smiled bitterly at me, "I'm afraid I can't escape this time, buddy, let's go!" To be able to live one is one! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" I looked at him in disbelief, "How could I possibly leave you here alone!" Let's go together! ”
Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "It's me who the human-faced fish recognizes!" I'll stay, and you'll have a chance to escape!" ”
"Fuck your uncle!" I yelled, "I must not watch you die!" ”
Lantern Xiao was angry all of a sudden, "Zhuo Ran, you stupid X, what nonsense!" I can't watch you die of being tired by me! Get out of here! ”
I stretched out my hand to pull the Lantern Festival, but he kicked it back hard, "You can't go!" Saying that, Lantern Xiao actually picked up a gun and pointed it at me.
I stared blankly at Lantern Festival, tears blurring my eyes.
Kong Xue in the back was already crying, "Tang Yuanding, let's go together, there will be a way to go!" ”
Hearing Kong Xue's words, Lantern Xiao smiled, "Yes, it's okay to listen to you call me my name before I die." Kong Xue, don't be sad, you should also understand that those who do this business will end up in this way. Lantern Xiao sighed softly, then his face changed, and he roared: "Go!" Come on! "Raise the gun and fire two shots in succession, and a huge gunfire echoes in the river.
At this time, Wenmo also floated up and said to us: "That human-faced pig is coming up soon, let's go!" Maybe one of us will survive! In Wenmo's words, I still felt a deep sense of despair.
Lantern Xiao said calmly to Wen Mo, "Wen Mo, if I stay and drag the human face pig, can you guarantee that they are alive." ”
Wen Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, then looked at Lantern Xiao deeply, and nodded after being silent for a few seconds, "I promise!" ”
"Good!" Lantern Xiao nodded and turned to look at me, "Zhuo Ran, I'm sorry for you, I involved you, if I have the opportunity in the future, I want to have a good chat with you, in short, you remember, you have to live well!" There's no time, let's go! After speaking, Lantern Xiao turned around and quickly dived into the water.
I was just about to dive into the water to catch up with Lantern Festival, but I was caught by Wenmo. I shook it hard, but Wenmo's strength was so great that I couldn't break free at all, I turned around and said, "Wenmo, you are so powerful, you must be able to save Lantern Xiao, right?" I beg you to save him! ”
Wen Mo shook his head gloomily, "All I can do now is keep my promise." "I felt dizzy and my heart ached. Kong Xue on the side was already crying.
"No!" I shouted, Wenmo ignored me, dragged me up, pulled Kong Xue and swam to the shore, I turned around and saw that a huge splash suddenly sank downward, and my heart sank with it.
I was dragged up to the river beach by Wenmo, sat on the ground and looked at the calm river, forgetting the cold, forgetting the hunger, forgetting the fear, I only had the figure of the poor mouth in my mind, and said to me with a smile: "Zhuo Ran, your uncle!" ”
Kong Xue lost her voice and was in pain, "It's all my fault!" It's all my fault! ”
Hearing Kong Xue's cry, I couldn't help but think, yes, who is to blame? Don't you blame me? Isn't the Lantern Festival here to save me? So am I the murderer of the Lantern Festival?
Wen Mo came over and patted me, "Clean up, get out of here quickly, don't let him die in vain!" ”
I nodded, looking at the equipment of the Lantern Festival, my tears flowed down involuntarily, will I never see them again?
Why did I come here by accident, is it just to witness the death of a good friend!
At this moment, my heart is like a knife.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the river, "Seeing you so sad, even if you are really dead, it is worth it!" ”
Lantern Festival! I felt a rush of ecstasy, and hurriedly ran to the sound, and sure enough, a familiar figure was lying on the edge of the riverbank, waving at me.
I quickly helped Lantern Xiao up, raised my hand and punched him in the shoulder, "Great, you kid is not dead!" ”
The return of the Lantern Festival surprised us all, and Kong Xue cried with joy.
"How the hell did you get rid of the Human-Faced Fish?" I asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Yunxiao smiled awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed, which made me a little confused, "What's wrong with you?" I hurriedly asked.
"I... I pee! Lantern Xiao scratched her head, "As a result, as soon as the human-faced fish approached, it immediately ran away like an electric shock." And so I came back! ”
I was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing, Kong Xue snorted for a moment and laughed out loud. Wen Mo said with a smile: "This is indeed a good way, the human face is the most taboo and filthy, and now I have met a nemesis!" ”
The experience of turning danger into a disaster, coupled with the resurrection of the Lantern Festival, made us feel very good, but we still didn't dare to stay, who knows if the person will go and return. And it seems that God favors it, the water level of the river has dropped again, and the river beach has been exposed. We hurriedly packed our things, ignoring the fact that our clothes were still wet, and hurried along the river beach, I really wanted to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.
On the beach where the river had just receded, it was still very wet, and we walked briskly on it, keeping an eye on the river from time to time for fear that the fish would rush over again. We walked along the river beach for a long time, although the body was wet and very uncomfortable, but there were no snakes, no human face fish, no dried corpse dumplings around us for the time being, which made our mood relax a lot.
We looked around and stumbled upon a large area of murals on the cliff on the side of the river beach, which intrigued us, this ancient tomb has brought us too much weirdness and unusualness, and we hope that these murals will give us some answers.
The beginning of the mural depicts a war, one side of the war looks like a tribe, and the painting is more detailed, it seems that it should be the tribe of the tomb owner, while the other side of the war is a little rougher. I laughed dumbly, it seems that this painter's heart is not big enough.
Judging by the frescoes, the result of the war was that the clan lost and a migration took place.
In the next mural, the tribe and the other side are fighting another war, and it seems that the war is very fierce, with heavy casualties on both sides. Unfortunately, this tribe failed again this time, and was chased by the other party, and had to migrate again. It can be seen from the picture that the journey was very difficult, the low morale of the defeat in the war, coupled with the difficult conditions, this migration, the tribe paid a lot of price.
I continued to look, and at last they came to the foot of a great mountain, which was high into the sky, and a golden light fell from the sky to the top of the mountain, and it looked like a miracle. The tribesmen fell down at the foot of the mountain in worship.
This mountain, this golden light falling from the sky, how can I look so familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, a thought flashed through me like lightning, isn't this golden light the wonder we saw in the lama temple, which is called "the knife splitting the sky". In this case, this mountain should be in the Qilian Mountains, which is probably the mountain where we are. It dawned on me that the place we were in was more than just a tomb.
My heart was beating wildly when I saw the mural, and I couldn't wait to keep looking: this tribe settled here, built houses, and carved totems. Back in antiquity, people had their own totem worship, and the totem of this tribe seemed to look like a snake. Next, the picture changed, and a man in a robe, but his face was not clear, and he seemed to be raising the altar.
I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw this, and said to myself, "Where do you seem to have seen this scene?" ”
Wen Mo next to him, hearing my words, said, "It's in the tomb we just entered here." ”
"Yes!" As soon as I patted my head, it was in the first burial chamber we entered, and I was very impressed by this man in robes, because he painted in a strange way, and the clothes on his body were very finely drawn, but his face was blurred. I was anxious to make sure that the paintings here were the same as the ones in the tomb, so I continued to look down, but I didn't expect that the next few murals were peeling off because of the passage of time or artificiality, which disappointed me.
But is it just a coincidence that the frescoes in that burial chamber happened to take over the frescoes that had been lost here? Or is there something else going on?
