The former No. 1 in the rivers and lakes (Mu Haocang's past) Chapter 23: The scarecrow has a secret in his body

Under the constant persecution of these scarecrows, the three of them finally had no choice but to disperse first.

Since the scarecrows were so tall that they looked like a wall in front of them, the three of them didn't know exactly where they were in each other.

had to barely cope with the battle on his side.

Paul, on the other hand, was distracted by the battle, which led to the scarecrow being caught by the swarm.

His body was gradually overwhelmed by countless scarecrows, and Paul was overturned for a moment before he could even cry for help.

The intense feeling of squeezing is something that Paul still haunts.

Just when he thought he was about to be strangled to death.

The scarecrow who was holding him suddenly let go of his arms and lowered him.

Paul, who didn't know why, saw that he seemed to be saved, and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

After a glance, he was horrified to find that the scarecrow, who was still alive and well, had fallen to the ground like a bird with broken wings.

Not far away, the silly baby also stood up slowly with a sluggish face, and cast a puzzled look at Paul.

The two looked at each other for a long time, as if they were asking each other what was going on.

After a simple eye contact, the two still didn't communicate.

Paul thought of Lao Liu first, so he struggled to his feet and began to look back and forth.

If nothing else, Lao Liu should have fallen not far from them at this time.

But I watched it for a long time, but I didn't see half a living person.

Turning his gaze to the silly baby, he found that he was standing in the middle of a pile of scarecrow corpses, dusting his butt incessantly.

At the moment, finding Lao Liu is the top priority, and there is no room for delay.

Knowing this, Paul no longer hesitated and set out on a quest to find it.

Walking among the corpses of these scarecrows, Paul felt more like a medical soldier who helped save lives during World War II.

Even though the scarecrows were lying motionless on the ground, Paul was still wary of them.

If they are resurrected again for a moment because they are not paying attention, it is not the end of a calf.

Naturally, Paul did not dare to touch these scarecrows who fell to the ground, so he had to find the little gap that they exposed when they fell to the ground, and kept taking tentative steps forward with one shallow foot at a time.

After going around like a thief for a long time, Paul still didn't find anything about Lao Liu.

During the doubt, it was thought that it might be because the scarecrow had just fallen down en masse, and it was accidentally crushed underneath.

You know, putting aside the weight of these scarecrows, it is such a huge body, with only half of it, it must be able to cover Lao Liu's whole body tightly.

Following this conjecture, Paul also slowly leaned down and turned his face sideways, wanting to see if he could find Lao Liu under these scarecrows.

Without touching these scarecrows, Paul tried to look at them from many different angles.

But the existing scarecrows all fell together when they fell to the ground, just like the stacked arhats we often say.

Obviously, just by the small gap between their bodies, it is absolutely impossible to see the inside scene.

Coupled with the tons of black strange blood that were splashed in the battle before, it greatly interfered with Paul's sight.

It seems that these scarecrows must be removed.

In desperation, Paul only came up with such a solution, although it does sound a bit too risky, but in this situation, if you want to find Lao Liu, there is only this way.

He slowly stretched his hand towards the scarecrow on the ground, and extreme fear and nervousness took over his entire mind.

Tentatively tapped the scarecrow's body, and then hurriedly withdrew his hand again.

Fortunately, the scarecrow seems to be really dead, and there is no movement.

Seeing this situation, Paul's heart that had always been hanging slowly relaxed.

stepped forward, used all his strength, pushed the scarecrow in front of him away, and then looked inside.

No!

With less worries in his heart, Paul's search was much faster.

And the stupid baby in the distance saw that Paul was stepping in the middle of the corpses of the countless scarecrows at this time, and her face turned a little pale with fright.

glanced at the scarecrow lying at his feet, and subconsciously took two steps back.

However, when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Rao is Paul's reckless style, but nothing happens.

That means that these scarecrows may really be unable to move!

Thinking of this, the stupid baby couldn't stop scratching the back of her head.

I thought to myself that since Paul didn't call him to help, he wouldn't have to go over and make trouble.

Finding a more spacious place around, the silly baby sat down and began to wait for the result of Paul's side.

And the other side of the time.

Leaning over, pushing hard, flipping over, looking, disappointed.

Paul didn't know how many times he had repeated the same action.

Finally, Paul couldn't hold it anymore and looked at the countless scarecrows in front of him.

For the first time, Paul really felt his own powerlessness.

In that case, even if you find it, you will be dead.

Paul's face was sluggish, and he muttered to himself.

Looking back at the location of the silly baby at this time, he found that he was sitting leisurely on the ground at this time, like an old man and an old lady over seventy.

It seems that Lao Liu's disappearance has nothing to do with his half a dime.

Suddenly angry in his heart, Paul tore his throat and yelled at the fool a few words loudly.

And what's even more infuriating is that this stupid baby's ears seem to be deaf at this time.

Even though Paul shouted with all his might, it didn't do anything at all.

Feeling a little hoarse, Paul simply stopped shouting too much.

coughed twice, and walked towards the silly baby step by step.

On the way, something caught Paul's attention.

"Huh?"

Turning his face in some bewilderment, Paul crouched down and put his hand into the mouth of a scarecrow.

After fumbling around inside, Paul finally pulled something out of it that didn't feel slippery.

In Paul's hands was a small oval, dark green bone with a smooth skin and slightly pointed ends.

And directly below this small bone, there is a long little tail.

At first glance, it looks a lot like the tadpoles we usually see in creeks.

Paul tried to squeeze it a few times, but found that there seemed to be a small amount of moisture stored in it.

I looked at it for a long time, but I really didn't find any useful names.

And the appearance of this thing also made Paul feel quite puzzled for a moment.

Why is there such a strange gadget in this scarecrow's mouth?

Could it be that the ancients deliberately put these scarecrows in when they made them?

What is the purpose of this thing that looks like a mutated tadpole?

Is it a folk custom in ancient China?

Clearly, Paul could not answer any of these questions.

As a foreigner, although he had learned some Chinese folk customs and habits in the early years, Paul had never used that knowledge once.

It's really a book to be used when you hate less!

Paul sighed helplessly, and then put the dark green bone in his hand into his pocket.

Although this thing seemed to have nothing to do with anything that was going on here, Paul subconsciously thought of it.

This mysterious little bone must be the key to solving these many strange mysteries.

Even everything that has happened so far, and those terrifying mutant creatures that don't know where to hide.

It is very likely that it has a decisive connection with the mysterious little bone in his hand at this time.

As the saying goes: to exist is to be reasonable.

Paul was always convinced of this idea.

Since this mysterious little bone flower appeared in the scarecrow's body, then he must have some kind of special meaning.

Paul never thought that the ancients would have wasted their time doing things that seemed inherently meaningless.

And this mysterious little bone should be the key to unraveling the mystery of this scarecrow's corpse.

It's also one of the only clues I get now.

On the other hand, all the mysteries in the world are not also through the accumulation of clues bit by bit, so as to achieve the effect of converging into a river, and finally successfully uncover the truth.

Looking at the countless scarecrows lying on the ground, an extremely terrifying and interesting idea suddenly popped into Paul's mind.

In the mouths of all the scarecrows present, there won't be these dark green bones, right?

There is no way to put only one!

As the saying goes: it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all.

Equal distribution should be the fairest way in a sense.

Following this conjecture, Paul once again picked himself up and began to frantically pick at the mouths of these scarecrows.

One, two, three, four.

In a sense, this job is much easier than finding Lao Liu in this corpse pit.

It only took half an hour for Paul to find no less than twenty small dark green bones that were the same as those in his hands before.

But that's not all, except for these mysterious little bones.

Paul even stumbled upon the stumps and severed arms of some animals.

This really scared Paul.

I sat on the ground and gasped for a long time before I finally recovered.

Looking at the countless stumps and severed arms scattered on the ground, as well as the corpses of various small animals, Paul was also a little inexplicably nauseated.

It was then that Paul began to understand that not every scarecrow had that little green bone in his mouth.

It can be said that the existence of this small bone is actually a very rare case.

Most of the things in the scarecrow's mouth are actually the broken body parts and organs of some small animals.

As he looked at the sight, Paul became more and more unable to understand what was going on.

What is the meaning of stuffing animal carcasses into the body of a scarecrow?

All of this, at this moment, seems to be even more elusive.

Feeling a chill in his heart, Paul trembled his legs and stepped backwards.

He just couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him.

Behind all these things, what kind of creepy truth is hidden.

Paul didn't know this, but all he could be sure of now was to get out of this place where there were no people and no ghosts.

"No matter, no matter! Whatever it is! Labor and management are gone! ”

Paul muttered in horror.

At the same time, on the other side, the silly baby who was lying on the ground leisurely was also attracted by the slight movement faintly coming from the side.

He sat up, squinting sleepily as he looked at the location of the giant stone door.

This look can be said to be completely sleepy in an instant.

Widening her eyes in horror, the silly baby thought that there was something wrong with her eyesight.

I saw that the huge stone gate not far away at this time opened a gap slightly.

It was as if the heart had stopped abruptly at this moment.

"This door! How... It's open! ”

And what they didn't know at the moment was that something even more creepy and hairy than this was also going on quietly in secret.
