Chapter 149: Flesh Monster Worm
The carving on this cistern is also a half-sized image of a teenager, and it also has a pair of small horns on its head, which is similar to the form I have seen before, but it is its eyes that make me feel strange!
If it weren't for the material of the stone around it, and just looking at its eyes, I would have felt that it was a living person at all, its eyes were smart and deep, and with a hint of anger, which made me shudder after looking at it! I don't know who these stone carvings came from, but they are still the most important masters.
I turned my head to look at the carvings on the stone walls behind the other cisterns, I don't know if I had just been physically exhausted, causing prostration and hallucinations, I felt that the eyes of every stone sculpture were looking at me, and suddenly there was a feeling like a man's back, which made me shudder!
Just when I was distracted by these stone sculptures, Lantern Xiao rushed over and pushed me, "Why are you standing stupidly!" He looked at my eyes, and immediately held his forehead and scolded, "Damn! Are you sick, and you still have the heart to appreciate this at this time! ”
I was pushed by the Lantern Festival, and I immediately came back to my senses, and the short and powerful footsteps in my ears had become more obvious. I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and I didn't look at it, and I turned over and jumped into the cistern.
The bottom of the pond was built to facilitate the flow of water, so it was built at a sloping point. So as soon as my feet hit the ground, I immediately lost my center of gravity and fell to the ground. I didn't expect that there was something hard on the ground, right on my ass, and I couldn't help but scream in pain.
At this time, Lantern Xiao also jumped in, and when he heard my scream, he immediately walked over, "Zhuo Ran, what's wrong with you?" As Lantern Xiao's footsteps progressed, there were a few "clicks" under his feet, as if something was broken by him.
Strangely, we raised the flashlight and found that there were a lot of bones at the bottom of the cistern near the center. I can probably tell that some of them are animal bones, and some of them look a lot like human bones.
This discovery struck me as very strange. We thought it was going to be a cistern, but now it doesn't seem like that's the case, and who's going to throw bones into it! But if not cisterns, what are these pools made of stone for?
However, there is not much time for us to imagine these things at this time, because Kui's voice is getting closer and closer.
We hurriedly turned off our flashlights and cowered in the pool, holding our breath, praying in our hearts that we would pass quickly and not notice us.
After a while, I lay on the edge of the cistern and looked out cautiously. The three cold flames that had just been thrown out had not yet been extinguished, and by their faint light, I could see a dark shadow cast around the corner, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
I quickly withdrew my head and sat down against the inner wall of the cistern, hugging my knees as far as I could, so that my whole body was hidden in the corner, and then listened anxiously to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer.
I have to say,Kui's sense is still very keen,When it walked to the place where we were hiding,It actually stopped,Maybe it still noticed a trace of abnormality,But from the impact of the flashlight and cold fireworks on it just now,Its main sensory organ is still the eye,Fortunately it is not a creature with a sensitive sense of smell,Otherwise,None of us can run。
As Kui walked past us, I covered my beating heart with my hands and buried my head deep in my knees. At this time, we really can't do anything but ask God to bless.
But our luck was good, and after a short pause, we left quickly. Listening to its footsteps go away, my heart finally relaxed.
Lantern Xiao also probed over from the side, "Gone?" ”
I nodded, letting out a long breath. I was about to stand up, but I accidentally touched the bone next to me, and although it was not dangerous, I still felt uncomfortable. I hurriedly withdrew my hand and stood up against the stone wall.
Actually, I was still a little confused about the bones that appeared here, how could there be so many bones in the cistern, so I turned on the flashlight and shone it under my feet.
I used to wonder if it was used to raise some animals, but in that case, there shouldn't be human bones, so I guess there was only one reason, and that was sacrifice! Those who died in this pool were sacrifices!
However, there are many pools like this, and they are distributed over a wide area, and they are occasionally found along the way, and if they are all places used to make sacrifices, then what is the connection between them? Or what is it aimed at?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the deep hole in the middle of the bottom of the pool, the hole is not big but it looks very deep, could it be that the object of worship is below? In this case, it is possible that all the offerings in the sacrificial pool will eventually come together through this deep cave.
I glanced at my feet in front of me, and suddenly, I noticed that there were some blood stains among the bones, and it didn't look like it had been very long, which made me feel a chill at the back of my neck. I carefully kicked the bones open, only to see that the source of the blood was a large rat lying on the ground, dead.
I exhaled lightly, it turned out to be a mountain rat, rats can be said to be the most widely distributed animals on the earth, except for the bottom of the water, they can be found almost everywhere, here the underground cavities and cracks are crisscrossed, so it is normal for mountain rats to appear.
Thinking of this, I wanted to turn my head to look away, but suddenly my heart turned, something is wrong, if this mountain mouse died here intact, then I can better understand, but what happened to the blood? Could it be that there are other predators here?
I bent down and took a closer look, but I couldn't help but gasp, this mouse's stomach had been almost emptied, and the rest of the place had been eaten, only the epidermis was still intact. Next to its corpse, there were still large traces of dried blood, and even though it was just a mountain mouse, it still looked very terrifying.
I stood up, vigilantly raised my flashlight to look around, and quickly took two steps back. But I suddenly bumped into a person, I tilted my head slightly, and it turned out that Lantern Xiao was standing behind me with his back to me.
I stared at the corpse of the mountain mouse, pulled Lantern Xiao back, and said anxiously: "Lantern Xiao, look at me!" Something is wrong! ”
But I pulled it a few times, and Lantern Festival was indifferent. Lantern Xiao's reaction made me wonder, according to his character, when he encountered this kind of thing, he was more positive than anyone else. But this time he ignored me.
I turned my head curiously to look at Lantern Festival, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak? There's a bit of a problem on my side! ”
Lantern Xiao still didn't look at me, his eyes were a little dull, until I pushed him, he opened his mouth and said, "Don't talk about your side, I, there is more trouble on my side!" ”
I was taken aback by him and hurriedly asked, "What's the big trouble?" ”
Lantern Xiao shook the flashlight in his hand, "Look at it yourself." ”
I turned my head to look at the flashlight of Lantern Festival, only to find that there were only some bones on the ground in front of me, and the only thing that caught my attention was the skull of a human being. But I don't understand, what's worth it about the Lantern Festival to become like that, we are not students who have just left school, and we have experienced so many things. In such a place, it is simply too common to see such a skull.
I was about to open my mouth to ask Lantern Xiao, but before I could speak, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something unusual about this skull, and something white and transparent was coming out of its eyes. I can't help but feel a chill in my heart, could it be that this skull will still shed tears? And when I took a step further and looked closely, my scalp was numb!
What came out of the skull's eyes wasn't tears at all, not liquids, but a long string of transparent bugs!
Thinking of the corpse of the mountain rat just now, I immediately understood why the mountain rat died so strangely! It's these little bugs! The experience I had at the Lambelle store is still fresh in my memory, and that horrific scene still occasionally comes to my eyes.
It's this kind of transparent little insect that instantly sucks up the flesh and blood of the animal, leaving only an empty skin bag! I didn't expect to meet it here again!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on my head instantly, but luckily we didn't touch them when we first turned in, otherwise I wouldn't know how I died!
My head thumped and buzzed, and I quickly retreated to Lantern Xiao's side and asked with a stammer, "Yes, is that kind of bug?" ”
Lantern Xiao nodded, "It should be the kind in Lang Baylor's shop!" ”
"What then?"
"What else can I do? Run! With that, Lantern Xiao pulled me, turned around and climbed out of the sacrificial pool.
The sound of Lantern Festival running seemed to alarm the transparent insects, and they turned in one direction and swam straight towards me. How dare I slack off, and immediately pull out my legs and run.
When I jumped out of the sacrificial pool, I noticed that there were many people coming and going, and some flashlights were shaking.
I glanced around, and soon found the figure of the second uncle. He and Yuan Anzheng were looking at each sacrificial pool one by one, looking as if they were looking for something.
I hurriedly ran over, grabbed the second uncle, and said eagerly: "Second uncle, something is wrong!" It's dangerous in those pools! Get someone out! ”
Unexpectedly, the second uncle didn't show any surprised expression, just grabbed me, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
