Although I had already thought in advance that no matter what I encountered, it would be better than those human-faced beetles in the back, but when we saw this tent in the depths of the river, I couldn't help but slow down.

I thought it was a boulder, but I didn't expect it to be a tent. I even think that the chances of encountering monsters here are much greater than the chances of encountering tents. In the depths of this dark and gloomy underground, in the middle of this wide, dry river, there was a lonely tent, and the whole scene looked indescribably strange.

Shi Tao, who caught up from behind, patted me, "Quick!" The beetle in the back is up! ”

I came to my senses, quickened my pace, and ran towards the tent. As we got closer to the tent, I could get a good view of the tent, an old-fashioned thin canvas tent that was less windproof and cold-proof, but lightweight and portable.

The tent is not very big, it is covered with dust, apparently this tent has been here for many years. Who set up camp here many years ago? Could it be the people of the four major families twenty years ago.

Just when we were about two or three meters away from the tent, the lifeless, as if it had been sleeping for many years, suddenly a small light turned on!

This sudden situation caught us off guard, and everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at the tent in front of them in horror.

Has anyone been living here all along? But this is impossible, in such a place, not to mention the environment, even the supply of drinking water and food is very problematic, and there are all kinds of dangers such as human-faced beetles. Could it be that there are really top masters hidden in this world! Or maybe it's not people at all!

Thinking of this, cold sweat oozed from my forehead instantly, compared to these two situations, the scary thing is that it seems that the latter situation seems to be more likely!

We were still hesitating in front of the tent, and the sound of rustling behind us was already near.

We turned around and saw a dozen or so basin-sized human-faced beetles forming a semicircle in front of us, and their huge claws fluttering terribly. We slowly backed away, our backs almost resting on the tent.

I asked in a low voice, "What are we going to do!" ”

The second uncle looked at the human-faced beetles in front of him, and glanced at the tent behind him again, "It's really not good, so I can only ask for help from the one in the tent!" It doesn't matter if it's dead or alive! ”

The second uncle's words made my heart feel inexplicably cold, and I couldn't help but feel anxious when I saw that the semicircle composed of human-faced beetles had become smaller and smaller.

After thinking about the words of the second uncle, it seems that he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and even a dead person has to be begged by a living person! I whispered: "This senior in the tent, if your heroic soul is still alive and I don't know if you can save you, I will definitely repay you and tie the grass ring!" "When I said this, the tent behind me was still dead silent, and there was no response.

Shi Tao and Kong Xue looked at me in surprise, although I felt a little embarrassed myself, but judging from the vision in the tent just now, this place was unusual, I thought that there might be an unexpected effect, but I didn't expect it...... Alas!

Shi Tao stretched out his hand and pulled out the short knife: "It's really not good, I'll fight it in a while!" Zhuo Ran, I'll stop them in a while, you take Xiaoxue to run first! ”

I also pulled out a short knife, "You can't stop so many of them, let's go ahead for a while!" ”

The second uncle sighed, "Run an eggplant!" No one can run! ”

Kong Xue also took out the dagger, although her voice trembled a little, she still said strongly: "Don't underestimate me as a girl!" ”

As we were talking, all of a sudden, the dim light in the tent behind us suddenly turned green, and then the green light flourished. Seeing this scene, we were shocked, and instinctively wanted to take two steps back, but behind were those face beetles, and we were caught in the middle of a dilemma!

At this moment, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the human-faced beetles that were still showing their teeth and claws suddenly began to shrink back like a great enemy, and finally fled in a hurry.

I looked at the tent behind me, and the green light had slowly dimmed. My heart was beating wildly, could the people in the tent really hear me?

A few of us glanced at each other, and we could see confusion and uneasiness in our respective eyes. We walked around the tent and found that the entrance and exit of the tent were closed, the zipper was closed, and it was covered with dust, apparently no one had touched it for many years. In other words, no one has been in or out for a long time.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but start to feel a little nervous, this situation should mean two possibilities, first, there is no one in this tent at all. Second, if there is anyone in this tent, it must be a dead man! Thinking of this makes my back cold, could it really be a ghost who helped us just now?

The second uncle shone the zipper of the tent entrance and exit with a flashlight, and then carefully stretched out his hand. The second uncle's hand pinched the pull tab of the zipper and pulled it gently. Unexpectedly, this tent has been around for a long time, and many of the materials outside have decayed, and the second uncle's force, the copper-toothed zipper, the whole thing fell from the tent.

With this shock, the door of the tent also opened in an instant, and at the same time, we saw two feet in the tent near the door. Our hearts also sank, and sure enough, there were people in this tent!

We looked through the tent and saw that there was a small table inside the tent, and there was a small bottle on the table, and the green light came from the small green bottle. By the light, I could see a person lying on the floor of the tent, but the green light inside the tent was a little dim, and I could only see a general outline, and I couldn't see it clearly.

We didn't dare to enter, so we turned on our flashlights and shone into the tent, and I saw the man on the ground, a young woman, covered with a dark green dress. After observing for a while, there seemed to be no danger, so we rushed in.

Shi Tao looked at the woman on the ground and found that she had been dead for many years. And what makes us feel very strange is that from her face, this corpse does not show any signs of decay, and from the degree of decay of the tent, we can probably deduce that this corpse has been here for at least fifteen years, and the preliminary inference should be about twenty years. It's unbelievable that a corpse didn't decompose twenty years ago.

But I always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this corpse, except that it was not decomposing, but I couldn't think of it for a while.

In the whole tent, what attracted us the most was the small bottle on the small table that still had a green light. I reached out and picked it up, and found that the bottle was very delicately made, with a flap on the side of the bottle, which opened and closed as it shook. Through the bottle, we see that there is a slender wick inside, and the wick shows two different colors, yellow and green, and it is the green wick that burns at this time.

I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see any doorway, so I handed it to the second uncle. The second uncle took it and took a closer look, and immediately said "Huh".

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "What?" Second uncle, do you know this thing? ”

The second uncle nodded, "I did see it once, this kind of lamp design is very ingenious, this wick is added with white phosphorus and some medicinal materials, the medicinal materials can cause different flame colors, and the smell after burning can achieve different purposes, such as insect repellent, I think the haste of those human face beetles just now, nine times out of ten has something to do with this lamp." ”

Hearing what the second uncle said, I think it is indeed very possible, "But, second uncle, why does this lamp light on its own?" ”

The second uncle smiled and pointed to the small flap next to the small bottle, "This part is very flexible, and it will move with a little breeze and vibration." Every time the flap is turned, there will be some air into the bottle, and the white phosphorus in the wick will burn, thus igniting the wick, as the outside is relatively stationary, the flap is not moving, it will isolate the air in the bottle from the outside world, and when the air in the bottle is consumed, the light will be extinguished. But as soon as the flap is touched again, the air entering the bottle reacts with the white phosphorus, and the light lights up on its own again! ”

After listening to the words of the second uncle, we suddenly realized that this was the case, we thought it was a ghost fire lit up!

Having figured out the secret of the lamp, we turned our gaze to the female corpse, whose face was pale but still seemed soft and elastic. A thought flashed through my mind again, I seemed to have seen this situation somewhere, I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly I thought of something, and a thunderclap sounded in my head.

I slowly lifted the position of the flashlight, the bright white circle of light slowly moved from the corpse's face to her arm, I slowly grabbed the clothes covered by the female corpse, and gently lifted it, and when I saw one of her arms, my mind went blank instantly, my feet went soft, and my body slammed backwards on the small table.

The small bottle on the table, which was still shining with green light, rolled down all of a sudden, but fortunately, the second uncle was quick and took it in his hand, "Big nephew, what are you doing?" Why can't you stand still! ”

I trembled and pointed to the corpse's arm and said, "You, look, she, she's missing a hand!" ”

The second uncle frowned, and hurriedly looked in the direction I pointed, "It's really one missing!" Then the second uncle suddenly looked at me, "What do you mean, the hand that pulled you away in the first place!" Could it be her hand? ”

I nodded slightly, feeling my heart stopping.

In an instant, everyone fell silent, and everyone's expressions became ugly!
