Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 70 Weird
Zhou Chang and the four of them quickly walked to the location of the donkey team, and Herman was very happy to see that Zhou Chang was safe and sound, and stepped forward to give Zhou Chang a hug.
If it had been before, Zhou Chang would definitely have avoided the smell of Herman's body, but now his nose seems to be out of order, and he can't smell Herman's body at all, so he let him hug himself and say some rambling polite words.
Lao Feng also stepped forward to greet Zhou Chang, but he found that Zhou Chang had a pungent stench on his body, which was emanating from his clothes, obviously because of the lake water. Seeing that Zhou Chang didn't seem to be aware of the smell on his body, he looked at the sloppy Herman again, and wondered if this young man had stayed with this wandering poet for a long time and got used to this smell?
However, when Zheni came over, he couldn't help frowning, he found that this guy also had a smell, but the smell on his body was not that strong, and he didn't notice it just now.
After all, these people are also his customers, and Lao Feng can only secretly disdain the smell of these people in his heart. He made himself as accustomed to the smell as he could, and then suggested to them to set out at once, for they were running out of water, and a new source of water must be found at once.
Zhen Nie shrugged his shoulders indifferently and looked at Taizhang on the side.
Taizhang also nodded, and didn't seem to have any opinions.
So, Lao Feng took out the star disk, and after positioning the direction, according to Zhennie's map, everyone began to find Eleri again.
Along the way, Herman, who had eaten and drunk, couldn't help but sing poetry again.
Although his voice was still as bad as ever, he could also kill some time during this boring journey, so he didn't stop him.
When the evening came, they still had no water source to be found, so they were forced to camp on a relatively flat mountain.
As soon as the morning dawned, the crowd continued on their way.
By noon, they had entered a larger basin. The basin is covered with green trees and vigorous herbaceous plants.
On the grass on the periphery, there were several black class sheep gnawing on the grass, and when they saw Zhou Chang and the others, they jumped a few times, and then ran towards the bushes.
A stout porter was a little slanderous when he saw the herd of black spotted sheep, and said that he would catch one and improve the food.
He said hello to Lao Feng, pulled out the scimitar pinned to his waist, and chased after him.
Some porters whistled and shouted, "Da Kui, it's up to you whether you have a bloody stomach today." ”
The other porters who didn't open their mouths also coaxed, "Da Kui, if you can slaughter a black-spotted sheep, after you go back, Lao Tzu will find a beautiful girl and let you be crooked." ”
The porter named Da Kui suddenly turned his head and said to everyone with a smile: "You say it yourself, and Lao Tzu chooses a girl by himself." ”
He didn't slow down when he spoke, and by the time he finished speaking, he was already in the woods.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Taizhang saw the porter named Da Kui enter the woods, and suddenly said to Lao Feng.
Lao Feng was stunned when he heard this, "What's strange?"
"The sheep breed did not have the black spotted sheep species, but the other two tame sheep breeds were crossbred with a mild temperament, which is very suitable for human feeding. Taizhang said lightly.
Lao Feng couldn't help but pout, thinking to himself that there is no wild black spotted sheep, this guy is too suspicious. "You mean, this group of black sheep is fed by someone, and since they are fed by humans, why are they afraid to see us?"
Taizhang glanced into the woods, "That's why I feel weird. ”
They were talking, while Zhou Chang was quietly taking care of the fat man.
The fat man sat on the back of a donkey, his eyes were glazed, and he muttered in his mouth, he was going to fly to the sky for a while, and he was going to see Xiaowei for a while, and Zhou Chang kept coaxing him on the side.
At this moment, there was a sudden cry of terror in the forest, and the fear and horror in the sound seemed to come from the depths. Everyone outside the woods couldn't help but shiver when they heard it.
No sooner had the scream fallen, and a heart-rending scream came from the woods.
The scream was as terrible as being disemboweled, and the internal organs had been removed. Everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps, and the fat man, who was still talking nonsense, was also startled, fell off the donkey's back, and hid in Zhou Chang's arms.
"Well, it seems to be Da Kui's voice," said a porter in horror.
Lao Feng's face twitched, he was a businessman who liked to take risks and speculate, he didn't know what to do with this kind of terrifying and dangerous thing, and subconsciously looked at Zhennie.
Before Zheni could answer, the kind-hearted Angelina had already rushed into the woods.
Seeing Angelina suddenly running towards the woods, Zhou Chang was afraid that he was in danger, so he pushed the fat man leaning on his arms to Herman and chased after him quickly.
"Two guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead, haven't they learned the lesson of last time?" Taizhang looked at the backs of Angelina and Zhou Chang, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and followed.
Zhen Nie squinted at Lao Feng, who was looking at him, "Do you want to come along?" ”
"Huh?" Lao Feng reacted to the meaning of Zhe Nie's words for a while, was stunned for a moment, then reacted, waved his hand and refused: "With you going, I believe that Da Kui will definitely be fine, I am staying here to take care of the donkey team." ”
Before Lao Feng's words were finished, Zhennie had already strode towards the woods.
At this time, Zhou Chang had already caught up with Angelina, and the two entered the woods one after the other, they carefully recalled the direction of the sound, and then walked towards that place.
He didn't go far, and suddenly found a man lying in front of him, the man was missing a left leg, his stomach was also cut open, and the blood swam red the ground around him, and countless maggots and flies landed on the flesh that was turned inside and out, greedily licking and eating the flesh and blood of that person.
The man's face was just covered by weeds, and he could tell if this person was Dakui.
Angelina felt a tumbling sensation in her stomach when she saw the corpse in such a tragic state, and she resisted the nausea of vomiting and walked over with a hard head.
Zhou Chang was a little frightened when he saw the person whose stomach was dissected, and according to his temperament, he would not walk towards the corpse if he was killed. But now that Angelina had walked over, he had no reason to retreat, so he had to follow with him.
As they approached the corpse, they finally saw its face. A large part of his face showed signs of being bitten by wild beasts, and in some places his bones were exposed, and several maggots arched up and down the man's mouth, and maggots wriggled happily in the sunken eye sockets.
Seeing this, Angelina finally couldn't help it, and with a wow, she spit out all the dough that she had just eaten for a short time.
Zhou Chang is now a living dead at this time, and his five senses are in a state of suspended animation, so the dead corpse in front of him is just that he feels a little scared, and he does not react as violently as Angelina.
Zhou Chang glanced at Angelina, whose face had turned pale because of vomiting, and couldn't help but walk over and tap her back a few times.
Zhou Chang was about to exit to ask Angelina if she wanted to go back to rest, when he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him, "This person looks like he has been dead for a while, and he shouldn't be that porter." ”
Hearing Taizhang's familiar tone, Zhou Chang's heart was a little relieved, at least with him, the danger was a little far away from him. Zhou Chang looked back at Taizhang and found that Zhennie had also followed, he was standing behind Taizhang, he had already covered his face with a veil at this time, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could see his thick eyebrows erected.
"This should be the owner of the flock of black-spotted sheep," Zhenie bent down, picked up a rag on the ground, and sniffed at the side of his nose, "There is a wet and sticky snakey smell,"
As he spoke, he dusted off the rotten leaves and grass scattered on the ground, and found that there were footprints the size of a finger on the ground, which were somewhat like gecko's feet, but the weight of the ground was obviously several times greater than that of the gecko, and, judging from the traces of the footprints, it seemed that there were webs, which should belong to amphibians.
Zheni already had a clue, "The person who killed this person should be a snake-like amphibian with legs, with sharp teeth and poisonous teeth. ”
Hearing Zhe Nie's description, Zhou Chang's mind suddenly flashed the strange snake with ten legs called pickled rot, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's pickled rot." ”
At that moment, Zhou Chang told everyone about the characteristics of pickled curd that Hella told him.
Angelina also saw the snake planted in this place, pickled and cruelly skinned scene, she vividly remembered, heard Zhou Chang say that this snake does not like to eat meat skin, likes to eat rotten maggot meat, gastric juice gushing, and can't help but vomit.
When Zhou Chang met them, Herman had mentioned the matter of the long-legged snake, and at that time, Zhenie thought that Zhou Chang saw a strange lizard and didn't care.
However, since Zheni smelled the breath of snakes on the fragments of his clothes, it meant that the thing was really a snake, but he had read all the books on the continent several times before, and he had not seen any text about the long legs of snakes. Could it be that after thousands of years of imprisonment beneath the Dark Lands, new creatures have appeared?
Taizhang frowned when he saw Angelina, who was vomiting, and suddenly said, "Since this dead body is not the porter's, then let's look elsewhere." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for the approval of the others, he walked to the left-hand side first.
Angelina covered her mouth, forcibly spit out, and quickly followed Taizhang.
Taizhang heard the sound of footsteps behind him, glanced sideways, saw that it was Angelina, and asked lightly, "Are you okay?"
Angelina nodded, "I can hold it." ”
Taizhang shook his head, then ignored Angelina and walked forward.
Zhou Chang followed behind Angelina, his brows furrowed tightly, from the moment he entered the forest, he felt that something was wrong, but he could say why.
Zhennie, who was walking side by side with Zhou Chang, saw the strangeness on Zhou Chang's face. Zhenie has always been very attentive to this young man who is full of magic. When he accidentally obtained the constitution of the living dead, he was even more suspicious of his identity.
Seeing Zhou Chang's eyes looking around, Zhe Nie suddenly asked, "Zhou Chang, what are you looking at, have you made a discovery?"
Zhou Chang shook his head, "I always feel as if someone is following us, but I can't even see sparrows around here." ”
Zhen Nie was about to answer Zhou Chang, when he suddenly heard Angelina shout: "There is a corpse in front, let's go over and take a look." ”
Hearing Angelina's cry, Zheni swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and followed Angelina's gaze to see a flesh-and-blood corpse lying horizontally under a huge metasequoia tree.
Looking closely, the corpse's face was still slightly undulating, and it didn't seem to be completely dead.
Angelina screamed, then quickened her pace and ran towards the corpse. But before she could run far, Taizhang's right hand grabbed his shoulder with lightning speed, pulling her back with force.
Angelina was anxious, and the steps under her feet were vain, Taizhang pulled so hard, her body leaned back, fell backwards a few times, and her hands swiped quickly in the air a few times before she narrowly stabilized her body and did not fall.
Taizhang glanced at Angelina apologetically, "That thing is so disgusting, you'd better not go over, beware of even throwing up your stomach." ”
Although, he wanted to apologize to Angelina, but as soon as the words of apology came to his lips, he cut into the words above.
