Volume 2: Dream of the Nu River Chapter 016 Corpse Forest

"Nani, such an evil nature!" Yu Fatzi was taken aback, "It's good that I didn't take it." ”

"These beetles, will secrete a corrosive liquid through continuous death, devouring close objects, once the unsuspecting tomb robbers touch the rotten jade, or make the temperature rise, they will definitely die, even if they are lucky to escape, they will be poisoned and festered after encountering, if not treated in time, it will quickly spread throughout the body, and finally the whole body will suppurate, festering and dying."

Fat Yu asked, "Then what's going on now?" I don't want to die so early without catching anything! ”

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, touched it in his pocket, and then found a jade-like thing, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I still have a smell of jade, and it is invulnerable." ”

Smelling jade is a substance containing spices that invades rocks, also known as golden fragrant jade. It is a necessary weapon for the tomb of the golden captain, it can exude a rich and charming fragrance, and the drier the environment, the stronger the fragrance, with the effect of dispelling the evil spirit of poisonous insects. However, this thing still has some effect on ordinary poisonous insects, and it is difficult to have any effect on evil insects like cockroaches.

"Fatty, you better put this thing away, it's okay to smell fragrant jade smoked mosquitoes and cockroaches, deal with cockroaches, don't be foolish!" I said directly, "You should stand back, don't wake up the rotten jade." ”

Huai Rujin and I glanced at each other, but they didn't say a word. I was actually anxious, and I didn't want to worry more about Yu Fatzi, so I said to Yu Fatzi: "This thing is insolvable in the tomb, and the best way is to withdraw quickly." ”

Huai Rujin nodded, "My father has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of insect jade, but whenever he encounters insect jade, he must withdraw quickly, and he can't stay longer, otherwise the carbon dioxide content in the tomb will rise, and the temperature will inevitably rise, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

I turned to Huai Rujin and said, "I was surprised that this tomb had been stolen, but it was still very neat inside, and it seems that the person who came in before must have opened this coffin." ”

Huai Rujin still didn't speak, and he should be a little anxious in his heart. I wanted to close the coffin and leave, but I was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so I had to let it open. The three of them left the tomb before they took a breath, and Yu Fatzi wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and his heart was full of joy.

"Why is this road so long?" We walked along the cemetery, hoping to find the robbery hole that the previous people had entered and went out, but after walking for a while, we couldn't see the end, and we didn't know where to go.

I wondered, "Impossible, this is obviously the way out, and there is no other exit, both ends are closed, could it be that you have entered a hole of the ghost lady again?" ”

"Why do I think it's eerie here?" Yu Fatzi shuddered.

"Don't scare yourself."

"If you encounter something that disturbs the rotten jade, it will be bad." I secretly said in my heart, "Although there is nothing dirty in this tomb, it is really not peaceful. Otherwise, why didn't the people who came in at that time go back the same way? ”

After walking for a while, I finally saw the end of the tomb, and there was a stone door in front of it, like the entrance of the bomb shelter. As soon as I entered the room, I realized that it seemed to be a Buddha cave, which was full of Buddhist sitting statues, in the middle was the Buddha Virujana, and on both sides were the yellow, red, black and white Buddha masters, collectively known as the Five Buddhas. The appearance of the five Buddhas is iris shoulders and jackals, which is extremely terrifying. There is also a coffin under the pedestal of the Buddha statue.

Huai Rujin and I looked around, and finally walked to the coffin together.

"Why is there a Buddha statue in this tomb?" Yu Fatzi was puzzled.

"What's this?" I said, "Maybe people believe in Buddhism?" ”

"yes, you see there's a coffin here?" Yu Fatzi pointed to the coffin and said, "I don't know who is in here?" It was the first time that Yu Fatzi saw the coffin in the Buddhist hall, circled around twice, and said, "Do you want to check in and see?" ”

I thought about it and judged: "In my opinion, this should be an empty coffin, the owner of the tomb is likely to believe in Buddhism during his lifetime, and he can still come to worship every day in such a Buddhist hall here." ”

Yu Fatzi leaned over to the gap in the coffin lid, shone it with a flashlight, and said, "But there seems to be something inside!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." I walked over and looked at it in disbelief, and sure enough, I saw a black shadow, lying in the coffin, "This is really evil!" I looked at Huai Rujin in confusion, "Miss Huai, what do you think this means?" ”

"I can't tell, I haven't seen it." Huai Rujin shook his head.

Yu Fatzi blew violently, blew the dust off the coffin lid, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what it is, just open it and look at it!" ”

I felt a little strange, shook my head and said, "Something is wrong, stop the fat man!" ”

Yu Fatzi gave me such a sudden call, startled, just wanted to scold, suddenly felt a cold hand, looked down, only to see that the coffin lid did not know when it opened, a dry hand stretched out from the gap, was grasping Yu Fatman's wrist.

Yu Fatzi was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, took a few steps back, sat down on the place, took off the flashlight, and rolled out. It was at this time that Yu Fatzi lay on the ground and saw a thief hole under the rock wall of the Buddha cave, and he shouted: "Run, there is a hole here!" ”

Before Huai Rujin and I could react, a figure jumped out of the coffin, and when we looked closely, we realized that the person was Gu Aba, but he was already unrecognizable, and half of his face was torn off with his belt and flesh.

It is impossible for a normal person to be alive.

I immediately became alarmed, ", no! ”

"Let's go." Huai Rujin urged, "This place is not suitable for a long time, it is not suitable for hands!" ”

"You're right." I resolutely gave up entanglement with it, and immediately informed Yu Fatzi to get in first, and then the two of us also got out. But then I heard a ghostly cry from the front of the cave, like a human crying, "Fatty, what's going on up ahead?" ”

Yu Fatzi didn't know what the situation was, so he just buried his head and crawled forward. Finally crawled out of the ground, he was going to relax and stretch his muscles, but he didn't expect to see the sun outside, and he regretted it in a blink of an eye, and wanted to drill back again.

"What are you doing!" I saw Fat Yu come in again and kick him out.

"Li Rui!" Yu Fatzi hugged me in fear and said, "Scared me to death, scared me to death." ”

"Damn, I've seen the bright sunshine, you're scared." I didn't care, and when I looked up with a smile, the muscles on my face suddenly froze.

"Oh my God!" I was shocked.

Huai Rujin also came out and involuntarily took a breath of cold air, "Corpse Forest!?" ”

In front of me was a valley with trees growing from corpses. The corpses stood there with different expressions and postures, the branches and leaves above swaying in the wind.

Those corpse trees are strange enough to make people faint. Corpse trees grow on corpses, just like cordyceps. The corpse stood upright on the ground, all the corpses, male and female, naked, the back of the head until the Heavenly Spirit Cover completely disappeared, and the trunk grew from there, so the thickness of the trunk was the same as the size of the head as usual.

The corpse tree can grow to a height of more than ten meters, but it looks like it is only supported by two feet, in fact, the whole corpse has been occupied by the roots, and there are some very small but very long roots on the soles of the corpse's feet that burrow into the ground, which makes the corpse tree look top-heavy but standing.

There are almost hundreds of corpse trees in the entire corpse forest, and the corpse foundations of these corpse trees have been lignified, and the skin is close to brownish-green, dry and rough, and even has bark-like textures on them, and is covered with moss. In terms of vintage, there are at least a hundred years. Because the corpse has been deeply integrated with the corpse tree, the corpse tree absorbs the original blood and other water of the corpse, and the water that maintains the contour of the corpse is provided by the root system of the corpse tree, so most of the organs on the corpse will dry up and fall off, especially the eyes, the eyeballs fall out and hang on the side of the nose.

And some of the female corpses, the chest will continue to absorb water, forming two water storage bladders, when filled with water, under the eyes, the whole is translucent, and sometimes you can see green fluorescence. It may be a phenomenon of photosynthesis of parasitic plants or fungi.

As soon as I saw this corpse forest, I knew that the road ahead must be difficult, but now there is no way back. I turned around and discussed with Huai Rujin, "It seems that if you don't go back, you can only break through!" ”

"Wait, what do you mean, what do you mean? Is it dangerous? ”

"Nonsense, this is the forest of corpses, don't you see these corpses? We're all dying here. ”

"Huh?" Fat Yu's eyes widened, "You said they were all killed by these trees?" ”

I don't know how the corpse forest came to be, but I know that those who die in the corpse forest will eventually become corpse trees. Once upon a time, there was a degraded official who led his family through a wooded field, and the whole family died tragically, and when they were found, there was a forest of corpses.

"Fat man, I'm a dignified captain who touches gold, but I'm not scared, no matter how terrifying it is, isn't it just a tree? You can still me. ”

As soon as we walked into the corpse forest, the sound of the wind in the forest slowly entered our ears, and people's minds were confused. Those corpse trees were terrifying, and Yu Fatzi naturally trembled his legs when he saw it. It didn't take long for me to realize that something was wrong, the corpse trees seemed to be constantly moving in place, but when I looked back, there was no movement.

"Be careful, everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a gust of wind swept in front of me, and a corpse tree flashed in front of my eyes, I was suddenly frightened, and strode back sharply, who knew that at the same time as he retreated, there was also a tree behind me blocking my retreat. It was then that I realized that the feet of these corpse trees were flexible, and they could move quickly, and they were almost silent.

Not only me, but Huai Rujin and Yu Fatzi were attacked at the same time. Huai Rujin's skills are better, jumping in the air, his feet are horizontal between the two trees, a standard one-word horse, and the two trees are clamped. However, even if the corpses on the other two sides were clamped over, Huai Rujin had to immediately climb the wall.

Yu Fat got up from the ground, his body was full of the roots of the corpse tree, his face was distorted with fright, he was panting, his eyes were red, and he almost cried.

I managed to escape from it and continued to rush forward, but suddenly I stumbled and stretched out one leg horizontally. Before I could dodge, a branch struck me like lightning and slashed at my neck, and I ducked with my head short, but I was hit by a branch behind me, and I fell to the ground on the spot.
