Chapter 164: Gathering Helpers
I shook my head to sober up as quickly as possible, and suddenly I found myself lying by the blood ditch around the temple, and I was so frightened that I quickly crawled to the side. I can't help but fear that if I fall five centimeters further, my head will fall into the blood channel, and maybe I will have fed those flesh monsters by this time.
Suddenly, I heard Lantern Xiao shouting eagerly, "Tang Jian'an, come here!" ”
I struggled for a moment, then sat up and looked at where Lantern Xiao and them were, only to see everyone slowly retreating in horror, only Tang Jian'an was still stupidly staying in place, looking left and right curiously, sometimes looking at Lantern Xiao and the others, sometimes looking at the tall dry corpse.
At this point, I noticed that the corpse was moving even more, and he began to shake his still stiff body and take a step forward, and I could even hear the clicking sound of his joints.
Compared with the small zongzi that broke out of the stone wall of the sacrificial pond before, the position of the eyes of this tall dry corpse is not empty, in the dark eye sockets, although the two eyeballs have also become atrophied, but they are still faintly recognizable, although it looks a little abrupt, but the bad premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, I know that this zongzi is definitely extraordinary.
Tang Jian'an didn't react to Lantern Festival's shouts, but the dried corpse seemed to notice Tang Jian'an's existence and turned his head towards his position.
Lantern Xiao was startled, and wanted to rush to the rescue, but was grabbed by Wen Mo next to him, "It's useless for you to rush up!" No one is its opponent! ”
Lantern Xiao struggled twice with all his might, but he couldn't break free at all, and at this moment, the dry corpse stepped in front of Tang Jian'an, grabbed his neck, and lifted Tang Jian'an's whole person with one hand. Tang Jian'an grabbed the hands of the dried corpse with both hands, and his legs kept kicking in the air. His face turned red, and his mouth grew up, but he couldn't make a sound.
The dry corpse had a veritable dead face, and looked at Tang Jian'an's struggle coldly, which made people look a little frightened. I suddenly remembered the self who strangled Tang Jian'an's neck just now.
Seeing that Tang Jian'an's struggle was useless, Lantern Xiao suddenly raised his gun and fired two shots at the dry corpse. I didn't see if the bullet hit the dry corpse, but the two shots of Lantern Xiao did work, and the dry corpse turned his face to where Lantern Xiao was, and raised his hand to throw Tang Jian'an out.
At this time, we didn't have time to take care of Tang Jian'an's situation, because at this time, the dry corpse was already approaching us step by step. Everyone fired a few more shots, but it still didn't have any effect, the second uncle ran over and reached out to help me up, and asked, "Eldest nephew, are you okay?" ”
I shook my head: "I can't die yet!" ”
The second uncle breathed a sigh of relief and helped me put my coat back on. We looked nervously at the dried corpse, but instead of continuing towards us, it stopped in front of the drum. Just when we didn't know what he wanted to do, the corpse raised his shriveled arm, which was like a wooden stick, and then slammed it down against the fur war drum.
The sound of the "dong dong" drum suddenly came to our faces, which was simply deafening, like fists, smashing heavily on our brains and hearts. I finally understood that when Tang Jian'an struck hard just now, it can be said that he didn't beat the drum at all, and the sound he made was less than one-tenth of that at this time.
I also realized that the sound of the legendary Kuipi War Drum is so shocking, but the legendary Kuipi War Drum is not in the hands of the Yellow Emperor, how did it get into the hands of the old Chiyou Department? I think that the history of antiquity is definitely not as simple as we know, but these thrilling or suffocating events have been dissipated in the long river of history, occasionally leaving a piece of dust, allowing us to get a glimpse of the line.
The corpses kept beating the war drums, and we covered our ears as much as we could and stepped back. But fortunately, although the sound of this war drum is very impactful, it is not very lethal to our spirits. Although the sound was also painful, it was not mad.
Lantern Xiao scolded loudly: "Damn!! This big zongzi was beating a drum before he died, right? When I was alive, I didn't knock enough, and when I died, I knocked again! ”
It would be nice if things could really be as Lantern Xiao said, I think this dry corpse has survived until now, and it will definitely not be just to give us a war drum solo, there must be his special intentions. The corpse no longer had the consciousness of mind at this time, but he was completely acting according to the habits of his life.
And at this moment, in the darkness on the left, in the dense roots that hung down, suddenly there was a strange sound, as if something was crashing and running, and it was approaching us. I quickly reminded loudly, "Everyone, be careful, something is coming from the left!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, a thunderous sound was heard among the roots. The second uncle's expression changed drastically, and he pulled me suddenly, "That one rushes over, everyone get out of the way!" Before he could finish speaking, a huge black shadow had already rushed out of the dense tree roots.
Like a heavily loaded truck, we hurriedly scattered to dodge. Despite the fact that Kui only has one leg, it is faster than we thought. And at this time, its state seems to be even more violent, especially its eyes, I don't know when they have turned red.
I was dragged to the ground by the second uncle, Kui roared past us, and a guy from the Yuan family couldn't dodge, and he was knocked out in an instant, and his life and death were uncertain.
While rushing out of the side of the huge crater, Kui also drove a lot of tree roots that were broken by it, and rolled down from above. This scene after scene caught us off guard and overwhelmed.
We've just dodged Kui's attack, and we haven't had time to catch our breath. A ghostly short figure crept closer to me from the darkness, but fortunately, Wenmo's perception was very sensitive, and when it was about to approach us, it was still discovered by us. When it was directly illuminated by the bright flashlight, it still made a cry like a baby's cry, and it turned out to be the little dumpling with horns on its head on the stone wall of the sacrificial pool.
We are very afraid of its roar attack, and I hurriedly reminded Lantern Festival and Tian Laosi, "Turn on your phone and play music!" ”
Immediately, the noisy rock music sounded again, and at the same time, the sound of the war drums continued, coupled with the thunderous roar of the kui, these sounds surrounded us, I covered my ears tightly, feeling that my head was about to explode, I believe that if this situation continues for a long time, we will soon be driven crazy without that little zongzi.
At this time, Yuan An shouted loudly: "Quick!! Fast!! Knock out the Kuiskin War Drum, and the dry corpse seems to be summoning helpers! ”
Lantern Xiao said with some pain: "Uncle An, that's a legendary artifact, the Kuipi War Drum!" Isn't it a shame to be so wasted!! ”
"What a pity!!" Yuan An roared, "My life is going to be gone, what nonsense is there!" Fast!! ”
Lantern Xiao gritted her teeth, raised her gun and shot at the Kuipi war drum in front of the dry corpse, and the others also pulled the trigger, and the gunfire rang out for a while. No matter how amazing the skin on the drum is, the drum body is just ordinary wood that has been treated. The bullet hit a hole in it.
Everyone's marksmanship is also good, and the goal of the Kuipi war drum is very large, so the drum body was soon interrupted, and after the dry corpse knocked it hard a few times again, the originally intact Kuipi war drum suddenly became fragmented and scattered on the ground.
I don't know what the dried corpse was like, and I couldn't tell what facial expression it was, but it did pause slightly. Then, the corpse stepped over the shattered drums of war and pounced on us again.
We did not hesitate to raise our guns and shoot, and retreated as we went. For a while, the whole scene was extremely chaotic, with dried corpses, small zongzi and kui, constantly attacking us alternately. We could barely parry.
We wanted to retreat all the way, but it was not as simple as we thought, they seemed to be besieging us, we kept dodging and retreating, and we kept changing direction. Eventually, we were forced to go back to the temple again.
However, when we retreated here, we also unexpectedly found that Kui and the little zongzi seemed to be a little afraid of this place, and they didn't dare to go too far. However, we still did not dare to be careless, because the tall dry corpse did not seem to have such concerns, and not only that, but he was still trying to get close to this place.
Could it be that there is something in this temple that attracts it? When I thought about this, my heart moved, if we could figure out what was inside this temple, maybe we would be able to find a glimmer of hope for us to leave safely.
I took out a cold firework from my bag, lit it and threw it into the temple.
The cold flame I threw out was a little high, but it bounced back into the door frame after it hit the door frame.
By the light of this cold firework, I finally saw the inside of the temple, where something seemed to be placed on a stone table.
Not only me, but the others were also trying to look inside the temple while guarding the corpses.
"What's that in there?" Lantern Xiao asked after looking at it. "Looks like a weapon? The short sword of the big zongzi was taken away by me, does he want to go in and get another guy to fight with us. ”
"No, no," I said, after some careful recognition, "I don't think it's a weapon, but a horn!" ”
