Chapter 70: Enter the Black Tower
"People? How can it be! "The second uncle's statement is simply unbelievable to me, how can that weird and terrifying face below be a person!
I wanted to take another look at the well to make sure that the second uncle was dazzled and didn't see clearly. Before I got to the well, the second uncle grabbed the water bag with one hand and grabbed me with the other, "Don't rub it in, go quickly!" ”
I saw the nervous expression of the second uncle, and I couldn't help but be a little scared by him, and I followed him and prepared to go out, but as soon as we ran two steps, we heard a strange sound suddenly coming from the mouth of the well.
When I looked back, I saw a withered arm slowly sticking out of the well, and the most frightening thing was that it was so thin that it was only the thickness of a rolling pin. But its fingers were extraordinarily long, almost as long as its forearms.
I was shocked, "Is this a person?" If this is really a man, what would he have been like when he was alive! ”
The second uncle also looked stupid, and the two of us forgot to run away for a while.
Slowly, the dried corpses in the wellhead climbed up, and when we saw the whole picture of this thing, our eyes widened. It did have the shape of a human being, but it was as if all the parts of a person's body had been elongated. The long, narrow face, the slender arms, the slender hands, each part is so disproportionate, could it be that the people who once lived here look like this?
It wasn't until the corpse jumped off the edge of the well that my second uncle and I came to our senses, "Run!" ”
At this time, this praying mantis-like dried corpse was less than two meters away from us, and my second uncle and I squeezed out of the door with our hands and feet, so it was not an exaggeration, I almost rolled out.
The first thing I did when I went out was to stay away from the door, my second uncle and I stood in a place where the sun could shine, and it was bright outside, and this kind of dried corpse zongzi would never dare to come out. Despite this, we stared nervously at the exit of the stone house. After a while, there was no movement, and we were relieved.
The line of falling into the tomb has at least thousands of histories, during which the fish and dragons are mixed, and the ability is even more uneven. The various methods that have been handed down are also true and false.
For example, to deal with things like zombie zongzi, the common means are black donkey hooves, black dog blood, rooster blood, etc., which are really varied.
But those who have really robbed tombs and fought upside down know that nine times out of ten, these methods will not be used at all, and if they don't work, they will be put aside, and they will not have a chance to use them at all.
In the same case as I just now, even if I had a black donkey's hoof in my hand, would I dare to go up and stuff it in its mouth? Can it stupidly stand still and stuff me? And it really doesn't necessarily work!
And there is one thing that really scares all kinds of zongzi zombies and ghosts, and it is absolutely oppressive, that is, sunshine!
There is a method of tomb robbery called the Great Exposement! That is, the entire top of the tomb is blown up, so that the ancient tomb is exposed, in that case, as soon as the sun comes out during the day, no matter what is in the ancient tomb, all the fun is finished!
But this method is not for anyone to dare to use, unless it is official. Otherwise, as soon as there is a sound here, it will be alarmed everywhere, and it will be strange if you are not captured alive!
My second uncle and I breathed a sigh of relief, left the stone house, and walked back with a few water bags. On the way, I suddenly remembered something, "Second uncle, there is that kind of thing in this well, do you think this water can still be drunk?" ”
Hearing my words, the second uncle was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had drunk the water from the well, and then thought about the strange appearance of the dried corpse just now, the second uncle threw down the water bag in his hand, bent down and retched.
I patted the second uncle and said, "Second uncle, in fact, you also want to open a little, there are always these risks in taking water in the wild, you said that no one has died in the river, the dead body is soaked in the river and rotted, and the water is not still drunk by anyone!" ”
After listening to my words, the second uncle retched even more, "You kid don't say it, I feel better!" ”
The second uncle tossed for a while, slowly regained his composure, looked at the water bag in front of him, and sighed, "Let's keep this water, when it's time to die, don't talk about this kind of water, even urine has to be drunk!" ”
We returned to the camp, and when Shi Tao and the others saw me and my second uncle coming back, they immediately greeted us.
Kong Xue said angrily: "Why have you been gone for so long, we thought something was wrong, and we were about to look for you!" ”
"I'm sorry!" I said apologetically, "I was fetching water with my second uncle just now, and I encountered a little episode. ”
"What's wrong?" Shi Tao asked.
So the second uncle motioned for everyone to sit down, and then told him about the praying mantis-like corpse that I had encountered, but the second uncle didn't mention the matter of Uzinamu. I could guess what was going on in his mind, so I didn't tell you anything about it.
After listening to our story, Shi Tao nodded, "It seems that here, it is not as simple as it seems, there are not only those two lurking earth dragons here, but I am afraid there are other things hidden underground." ”
"Let's go!" The second uncle stood up, "No matter what it is, it's already here, there's no reason not to go in and take a look." ”
Hearing the words of the second uncle, I gradually had an expectation in my heart, just in the Acropolis I found such a legendary thing as Uznamu, so in a more secret place, even in the royal city, what kind of treasure will be hidden!
We carried our own gear, four water bags, one for Dawut and one for each of the remaining three.
"Oops!" Kong Xue suddenly screamed.
We were taken aback, and I quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Under the weather? ”
Kong Xue shook her head, pointed to the water bag and said, "There are dry corpses in this well, can this water still be drunk?" I looked at the second uncle, who raised his eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, Kong Xue also thought of the question of hygiene.
I comforted her, "It's okay, let's be prepared, we really have no way to drink again, and you just said that it is a dried corpse, which means that the corpse and the well water are separated, so it is not a big problem." When we find the underground river, we can replace the water. ”
Kong Xue nodded at this time, and reluctantly packed the water bag, "How to drink this water, it's disgusting to think about!" Or replace it as soon as possible! ”
I smiled, the water system here should be the same, as long as it is in this area, the water is not the same everywhere, but I didn't say it, so as not to have a shadow in everyone's heart when they drink water.
The second uncle stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the mark in front of the black tower, and I stepped forward and asked, "How is the second uncle?" Is the earth dragon still guarding the gate of the Black Tower? ”
The second uncle nodded, "Wait a minute, I have observed that the earth dragon will leave for a period of time every morning and afternoon. Sometimes we will go outside the ancient city, and at that time, it is the time for us to enter the Black Tower. ”
"Earth dragon leaving? Where do they go? "I'm a little curious about the habits of this strange animal.
The second uncle said: "How do I know, maybe go and pee!" ”
I smiled, "This earth dragon is quite exquisite, and it still runs so far to and pee!" ”
The second uncle continued to stare at the mark on the ground and said, "Are you willing to crawl and step on your own?" ”
And just like that, while waiting, another long time passed.
Suddenly, the second uncle beckoned to us, "Quick, prepare, that earth dragon is leaving!" ”
I'm still a little worried, "Isn't there another one for the second uncle?" If we go there, will we be attacked by the other one? ”
The second uncle shook his head, "Probably not!" As far as I could see, it wasn't near the Black Tower. ”
We packed our gear and said goodbye to Tatsugo, then climbed off the roof and headed for the Black Tower.
Along the way, the second uncle kept observing his markings and always paying attention to the movements of the earth dragon.
When he arrived at the door of the Black Tower, the second uncle reminded: "As soon as you enter the door, there will be a dead corpse, you should be mentally prepared, don't be afraid!" ”
I nodded, "Second uncle, don't worry, I've seen the world!" Not a corpse! ”
Shi Tao took out the sapper shovel, dug up the sand at the entrance of the black tower, and got into it first. Then my second uncle and I helped Kong Xue in again.
I turned my head to let the second uncle go first, but the second uncle waved his hand, and I suddenly found that the marks not far behind him were swinging one after another, and they were knocked back and forth in an instant.
I exclaimed, "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”
When the second uncle looked back, his face also changed greatly, "Damn!" How did it come so quickly this time! As he spoke, he pushed me hard, "Get in!" ”
The second uncle had a lot of strength this time, and I was pushed in, and at the same time, the second uncle also rushed in. The two of us bumped into each other and rolled inside.
I felt as if I had knocked something down, and it was scattered in a clatter. I rolled all the way to the wall before I stopped, and I felt my head dizzy.
The sand outside the black tower rolled for a while, and from time to time there was a roaring sound of the earth dragon, it seemed that it was very dissatisfied with our entry, a large amount of sand flew in, we were squinted and couldn't open our eyes, after a while, the earth dragon gradually quieted down, it seems that it has no choice but to accept this fact.
I touched the sand off my face, opened my eyes, and suddenly I saw a dry face lying on my chest, almost face to face!
I screamed in fright and hurriedly jumped up, only to find out that it was the corpse that was originally leaning against the wall, which was broken up by me and my second uncle, so some "parts" fell on my body.
I was nervous as I jumped and slapped myself, and some of my dry limbs were shaken to the ground and became more fragmented. The second uncle hurriedly stopped me, and then put the bones back together, muttering in a low voice, "Don't blame it, don't blame it, we are also unintentional!" Friend, you go over early, and you reach Bliss early! ”
The second uncle glanced at me, "It's not the first time I've gone to the ground, a dry corpse scared you like this!" I didn't know who it was just now, and I swore that I had seen the world! ”
I argued, "Second uncle, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, when you open your eyes and see a face like that, right in front of your eyes, you can't stand it!" ”
The second uncle ignored me and just sighed. Suddenly, Kong Xue pointed to something on the ground and said, "Look at what it is, it seems to have fallen from a corpse." ”
We looked in the direction Kong Xue pointed, and sure enough, there was a metal-like thing on the ground, and when the second uncle picked it up, it turned out to be a ring.
The second uncle raised the flashlight and carefully inspected the ring, and when he saw the inside of the ring, his face suddenly changed, "My God, how could it be them!" ”
