The Ghost Valley Relic Palace Chapter 48 Fight to the death
Just when I wasn't paying attention, the behemoth at the bottom of the lake rushed up, opened its mouth and swallowed the lump that had fallen.
In the blink of an eye, through the flashlight refracted from the bottom of the lake, I vaguely saw that it was actually Han Sen who fell, although the limbs were already a little mutilated, and the rotten flesh and skin on his body were almost full of knife marks, but looking at the shape, I was absolutely sure that it was him.
Before I could recover my senses, the behemoth quickly floated up and shook in front of me, I couldn't describe what kind of species it was, I couldn't see it exactly. The only thing that struck me was its cold, murderous eyes, because I inadvertently glanced at it just as it shook past me.
I can say that these eyes will be unforgettable for the rest of my life, I have never seen such a sharp look and a murderous aura that can shock everything, and the feeling of being able to give up the courage to resist completely at the first glance will make you completely give up the courage to resist.
The strange thing is that I thought it would attack me again, but it just wandered around and then slowly disappeared.
I have been holding my breath all this time, and I am extremely nervous in my heart, and I suddenly relaxed when I saw that this behemoth was gone. It seems that I was really lucky to come out this time, and I was able to escape the catastrophe three times and twice, which can be said to be fate.
Just when I was a little relaxed, a few bright lights suddenly fell from the top of my head, and then Professor Wu and the others jumped down one after another like dumplings, and the splash made me shiver again.
When they surfaced one after another, I saw that each of them had new injuries to varying degrees, and it must have been another vicious battle just now.
With them coming down, my heart is more steady, no matter what, I can be with everyone and have hope of going out, and I fell down by mistake, which saved me a little trouble.
But apparently this is not suitable for talking, everyone has raised flashlights to find a place to stay, the surrounding environment is only faintly recognizable, by the light of the flashlight I saw that the right side of the lake is not far from us is a shallow, from there is an uneven slope.
I hurriedly beckoned everyone to swim over there, thinking about going to rest first and then making plans, but at this time I had already collapsed, fortunately Qin Xuanling came to support me, otherwise I really didn't know how to act.
When we were all ashore, I quickly told them what I had just experienced, and the white paper fan frowned as if he was thoughtful.
I saw that his expression was wrong, so I asked him, "Did you think of something?" ”
The white paper fan nodded and replied, "You just mentioned that you saw a piece of granite with words engraved under the lake, right, I think there may be something strange in this." ”
Qin Xuanling took over the conversation and said casually, "Then go down and take a look, if there is anything strange to see." ”
I suddenly noticed that the atmosphere seemed to be a little abnormal, everyone drooped their heads, only Qin Xuanling and the white paper fan looked at each other from time to time, but I couldn't see anything greasy in it.
Without saying a word, the white paper fan pulled out a device from his backpack, which I recognized as a miniature breathing apparatus made in the United States, which was specially used for short-distance diving. It is only the size of a gas mask, and the hydrogen peroxide in the device can be converted into oxygen for people to breathe as long as it encounters water, which is very convenient to use, and the only drawback is that it does not last long, only five or six minutes.
Unfortunately, this way is thrilling, our diving equipment is basically lost halfway, only the four-eyed backpack has a small oxygen tank.
Qin Xuanling took the four-eyed oxygen cylinder and inserted the tube into his mouth, nodded at the white paper fan and turned around and plunged into the lake, and then the white paper fan also jumped down.
In less than two minutes, the two of them came out of the water one after another, but the two of them obviously changed their expressions, and they didn't know if they were tired or what problems they encountered, in short, they looked very bad.
I hesitated, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Qin Xuanling said, "The one below is not a granite, but a stone coffin, I can't tell you the specifics, but it just looks weird, so the two of us hurried up." ”
I was amazed for a long time, my mind was a little confused, and in my memory, it was obviously a piece of granite, but how did it become a stone coffin again?
By then, everyone was exhausted, and the toss just now had already exhausted our strength, so they leaned on each other to rest, and did not discuss this matter for the time being.
However, since I fell, he didn't know anything about what happened above, and he couldn't help but ask Qin Xuanling what had happened.
He said slowly, after I fell into the hole, everyone was startled, and when he came back to his senses, Han Sen had already pounced, at this time he had completely lost his will, and became a complete zombie, almost pounced on people, and after a hard battle, everyone was not spared.
At the critical moment, it was Qin Xuanling and the white paper fan who worked together to subdue Han Sen, but when they were slackening, Han Sen suddenly broke out again, and in that critical situation, the white paper fan had no choice but to fly up and kick him down.
Thinking that I had fallen before this, everyone didn't hesitate much, and simply jumped down in a desperate fight.
I thought to myself, this is really better than a coincidence, if they come down a minute early, that behemoth is still there, and the rest of the story is very difficult to say.
But I still don't know what a zombie is, and why the corpse poison made Han Sen a zombie when it hit him, but it didn't have much effect on us.
Qin Xuanling went on to explain that the name of the living zombie is actually the living dead.
It refers to the person who is infected with blood zombie poison when he is dying and is attacked by corpse poison, resulting in a phenomenon of returning to the light of the whole body, in this case, his body will be controlled by corpse poison and become no different from zombies, but the person has not completely lost his breath, so he is a veritable living dead.
If we had had time to guard just now, we would have been able to stop Han Sen from going berserk, as long as he was allowed to get through that period of returning to the light, his body would naturally fail and die.
Unfortunately, time was tight, and we didn't have time to prepare, which made the situation worsen, and as a result, he was strangled by corpse poison, and finally ended up in such a tragic end.
Speaking of the corpse poison on our body, it is actually a bloody corpse fluid, but this thing can be big or small, serious enough to kill people, and slight to be like that.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to form corpse poison, one is that the deceased is poured herbs to prevent the corpse from decaying when he is buried, and as a result, the herbs are fermented for a long time, but they become corpse poison, but this corpse poison will only hurt the skin, or human life.
At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a group of tomb robbers in Luoyang, led by a leader surnamed Zhu, nicknamed "Zhu Lacquer Face".
Legend has it that this person encountered a strange thing when he stole the Yongchang Mausoleum of Song Taizu, when he pried open the coffin, he found that the body of Taizu was not decomposed, so he wanted to remove the jade belt tied on the corpse.
But the corpse was too sunk to be taken hard, so he came up with a way, first tied one end of the rope under the corpse's shoulder, and the other end was put on his body, pulled the corpse up face to face, and took advantage of the situation to untie the jade belt.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a stream of black mucus erupted from the mouth of the corpse, and the man thought that the great grandfather had appeared, and his legs were weak in fright on the spot, and then he respectfully restored everything to its original state and exited the mausoleum.
And those black slimes have been left on his face and have not been washed off, and he has been called "vermilion face" since then.
According to the wild history, Zhao Kuangyin was poured a lot of secret herbs made by the warlocks before he was buried, in order to achieve the effect of the corpse not decaying, these herbs did work, but they also turned into corpse poison and finally gave the tomb robber a flower face.
And another kind of corpse poison is a little terrifying, in ancient times, there were often some crooked ways that would be specially for the dignitaries to train the tomb keepers in the tomb, this kind of tomb keepers were trapped in the mausoleum when they were alive to perform Gu magic, and after they died, the resentment and evil qi in the body would make them become zombies who could move and walk, and then achieve the role of preventing tomb robbers.
It is precisely because this kind of zombie has been subjected to Gu magic in its body, so corpse poison can be naturally formed, and once it is infected, it will be paralyzed at least and killed at worst.
