Chapter 22: Fire in the Leylines
Lu Haotian stretched out his hand and grabbed the tail of the white-haired yellow skin and dragged it back vigorously, but the originally well-behaved yellow skin didn't know what crazy he was doing this time, relying on his smooth fur to break free from Lu Haotian's hands, and then lowered his head and pouted the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks and inhaled hard at the nostrils of the dead corpse. After sucking one body, he was not satisfied, and then he jumped on the other corpse and took another sip in the same way.
Lu Haotian scolded: "You white-haired brute, don't you kick your nose in the face? I don't think you are good enough to do it!" He stretched out his hand to hit the yellow skin.
smashed down with a punch, and the yellow skin reacted quickly, and before his fist fell, he rushed behind Wushuang. Lu Haotian couldn't take it back for a while after trying too hard, and it happened to hit the chest of a dead corpse. Suddenly, it was as soft as hitting a sponge foam, and a putrid liquid from the corpse's mouth sprayed onto Lu Haotian's face.
"Damn, I'm going to have to pick your skin today! I'm so angry! Even if I'm not disgusting, I'm angry! Wushuang, don't stop me!" he shouted at a yellow-skinned man.
"Okay, don't look at what kind of place this is? Enough trouble, Mi You? The little guy is human, it won't harm us, I don't believe you look at those two corpses!" Wushuang pushed Lu Haotian away and said.
Lu Haotian looked back again, and saw that the two corpses were rapidly wilting, and they had just been hit by an iron fist by himself, and a large piece of the corpse's chest sank, and at the same time, the corpse spots that should have appeared on their exposed skin appeared. This is what happens nine days after the death of two dead people.
"Brother, what happened just now? Could it be that Huang Pizi saved us?" Ma Ya asked.
"I don't know, but people die without decay called 'cute corpses', I have always heard that cute corpses are easy to get up, presumably they have life forms beyond the scope of our human understanding, and just now the yellow skin took a breath in front of their noses, and also sucked out the grievances left in their bodies after death, and prevented the phenomenon of corpse fraud in time. β
Lu Haotian glared at Huang Pizi angrily and asked, "Then according to your meaning, we still have to thank him?" Let me tell you, you don't need your woman's kindness, this little play should be so evil, maybe one day when you fall asleep, you will lie on the top of your head and suck your yang energy. β
"Huh...... Little one, will you?" Wushuang grinned as he hooked his index finger to the white-haired and yellow-skinned jaw.
Huang Pizi closed his eyes very happily and squeaked in response.
The three of them continued to explore the inside of the Laojingou mine, and the bodies of the victims of the geophysical exploration team could be found in almost every corner of the pit, and their dead appearance was not much different from that of the two companions in front of them, all of them were in a state of aging and the corpses were not decomposed. The yellow skin sucked out the last trace of resentment in the corpse's body with the sharp-beaked monkey gills on the top of their heads, and it looked very pleasant.
Wushuang has always had a question in his heart, why did all these members of the detective team die, but his grandfather escaped alone? In addition, his grandfather did not show abnormal symptoms of aging when he died, why is the corpse here so strange?
"Lao Tie, if you want me to say, you are too cautious, and you always think about simple problems too complicated. Do you think that your grandfather did not become senile before he died? Then let me ask you, what kind of person will have the phenomenon of depletion of the functions of the organs of the whole body? Naturally, it is a person who runs out of oil and is about to live his life, so let's call this kind of death a natural death. And those who get cancer and terminal illness due to long-term use of hormones, fertilizers and foods, even if they die unnaturally, they will definitely not have the phenomenon of systemic organ failure. Think about it, Dong Ye's whole body organs are failing, isn't it also a phenomenon of aging? It's just that the symptoms are not as obvious as these corpses. "Don't look at Lu Haotian as a rough person, but when it comes to analyzing the problem, he is the head of the road.
Ma Ya asked, "So there is some mysterious substance in the cave that can devour the life span of human beings......?"
As he walked, Mushuang made marks on the route he had taken. The pit was many times larger than expected, and the three of them walked around it for more than an hour through many low caves, but none of them could lead to the Qing Dynasty tomb, but they were getting farther and farther away from the cave entrance.
He was very cautious, and returned to the entrance of the cave with Ma Ya and Lu Haotian. It had been more than three hours since they came ashore from the Dobkul River, and the three of them were all dressed in dry clothes, so Wushuang took out his lighter from his pocket and tried it, but fortunately it was still lit.
"Lao Tie, you're wrong, you're not kind, you asked me to throw the zippo out, and I still have my own? Hurry up, don't be a bad buddy, give me a cigarette." β
"Don't talk nonsense, you go and rip off the clothes of those dead men for me. β
"Rub, the dirty work is mine every time, and in the end, the sister let you soak it, what's the matter!" Lu Haotian complained and stripped off all the clothes on the dead corpses.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Wushuang asked Ma Ya to hand the fire barrel to Lu Haotian, wrap the dead man's clothes around the muzzle of the gun, and then set it on fire. Say, look at the firelight, we will go wherever the wind in the cave blows out, even if we can't find the ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty, we will definitely be able to find an exit to leave the cave. There are too many forks in the mine, and if we don't use this method, we won't be able to get out even if we go to dawn.
The wind in the mine was cloudy, and the footsteps of the three of them never stopped, and they had been walking in the long mine for an hour, but they still did not see any exit ahead, and they never reached the ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty. Except for the footsteps of the three people, only the drops of water seeping from the rock peaks above their heads were still dripping. The further he walked inside, the higher the temperature, Lu Haotian took off his T-shirt and walked bare-chested, sweating profusely.
Fortunately, they brought some water with them when they passed the Dobkul River, but it is difficult to say how high the temperature will be if they continue to walk. From the experience dictated by Dong Ye, it can be analyzed that there are a large number of hot springs underground here, and it is likely that it was an active volcano a few years ago.
"Lao Tie, it's not a way to go like this, my kettle is visible, I think we haven't gone far, let's flash back, it's a big deal, let's go back the same way, anyway, there is still a rope in the waterway of the Dragon Cutting Ridge." β
Wushuang told Lu Haotian that you were too naΓ―ve, if I guessed correctly, the tomb robber who attacked us had already called his accomplices, and now they are waiting at the door of the old Jingou mine to ambush us.
"In this way, let's go separately, I and Ya go this way, rat, you take the fork on the left, whoever finds the first exit will shout, but you remember, you have to make a mark while walking. Wushuang said.
Lu Haotian said: "Ah? Why should I go by myself? How scary is this black light?
"Huh...... Look at your little bit of interest, why don't I let the yellow skin be your companion?"
