Chapter 32 The corpse-raising place
I quickly retracted my hand, turned around and raised my foot, preparing to kick the mummy away. I kicked over, but found that the skinless corpse did not fall apart, but rolled to the side with flesh and blood, as if there was no sign of attacking us. I stood up in wonder and looked at the place with my ears, and found that we had rolled directly from the ridge into a large pit covered by thatch. The bottom of the pit was filled with soft black mud, the surface of the mud, and the mud was filled with the skinless corpse I had just kicked away. I quickly pulled a cube of grass leaves and wiped off the rotten mucus stuck to my hands. I was looking at the surrounding environment, but my ears screamed:
"Little Li Zi! These skinless corpses seem to be not dry yet!"
When I heard this, I found a nearby one and started researching it. Sure enough, as the ear said, the most obvious feature of these skinless corpses compared to those we had fought with us before was that they were still very wet and sticky and even more disgusting. However, the good news is that they would not attack us either.
I couldn't help but remember the guess that Uncle Dachuan said to me when he was "watching the cave" when he was exploring the cave, that the cave might be connected to the corpse-raising ground. Now it seems that this stenchy pit with rotten corpses is the so-called corpse-raising ground. But what exactly is it that moved these corpses of humans and animals to corrupt here?
While thinking, we had already investigated most of the situation in the corpse pit. When we approached the last area covered by grass, I seemed to step on something and shrank listlessly.
This feeling seems familiar, is it: Corpse Flower Ghost Vine?
Thinking of this, I quickly signaled that I could be careful. The two of them approached the grass from both ends in a protective formation. After standing in a certain position, I signaled that I could use a wooden stick to push the grass away.
Sure enough, behind the grass, the green corpse and ghost vines were curled up, lying lazily on the mud and "snorted" and resting along the vine in the large gray-brown flower bud nearby. It seemed that something was vaguely struggling, but I couldn't see whether it was a human or a deer. Seeing this, I quickly signaled my ears to come closer. Seeing the ghost thing was resting with a full meal, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I thought that I was scared by your repeated attacks. If I didn't take this opportunity to kill you, a ghost flower, my Li Ang's word "Li" was written upside down!
When I saw me asking him for fire, I naturally understood and took out the lighter and handed it to me. I was on fire and was about to approach the fluff, but suddenly I felt that it was a bit unfair to burn the prey in the bud. I then took out a Swiss army knife and used the knife technique I had practiced on the operating table to cut the rhizomes connected to the buds according to the lines, so that my ears dragged the buds to one side and cut them open. Then I gently returned to the ghost vine that was nourishing the spirit, and lit a tentacle near it. The ghost vine probably
I was still sleeping, and the buds were cut off and the tentacles were roasted, but I still didn't know it. Until I lit the four or five tentacles hanging on the side of the ghost flower, and then lit some weeds to cover the torso of the ghost vine without the buds, strengthening the fire. The ghost vine suddenly woke up and tried to find water to put out the fire. But I didn't know that this was not a waterfall, and the water was insufficient, and the fire was fierce. Let it struggle, but the flames blew up. After a while, it was too hot and black.
I saw that the fire gradually faded and the ghost vine burned out. Then I turned around to help my ears cut and peel off the fibers of the buds, revealing the inner layer of flesh. This made us startled:
The vague appearance in the bud was clearly the shape of a person.
My ears and I quickly did the same thing, piercing a hole in the flower buds there, allowing oxygen to penetrate, and then carefully expanding the hole, peeling off the skin layer by layer like a ox-cutting, revealing the people inside.
When I saw that the man's hands and feet were still struggling, it seemed that he was still breathing. I quickly cut the buds from the inside out, making my ears push from the back and pour out the person inside. When I pulled out the sticky flower juice, I saw the man's pale face and immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
It turned out to be Uncle Okawa!
My ears were also startled and quickly helped me to lift Uncle Dachuan up and let me control the juice in his chest, and then put him flat with me. Seeing that Uncle Dachuan had only inhaled and did not vent, I quickly knelt beside him, pressed his lungs with both hands, and pressed hard...
After five or six minutes of rescue, he heard a "wow" sound. As he coughed out a mouthful of thick phlegm wrapped around the juice, Uncle Dachuan finally woke up, then came to his senses, sat up alertly, and saw that it was us, he breathed a sigh of relief and focused on his previous experience.
It turned out that Uncle Dachuan and Feng Shui Week were on the night. After the time came, he was a little anxious, so he asked Feng Shui Week to call Gao Maocai and Feng Jinhua to arrive at the class, and then went to Xiaojie. Who knew that like us, he vaguely heard the bell of Boss Mi's white horse, and followed the sound to this corpse-raising site. Uncle Dachuan was very skilled and brave, so he pulled the thatch and climbed down to investigate. He found a cave entrance where I burned the corpse flower ghost vine just now. I guessed that it might lead to the cave room we entered during the day, so I found a branch and lit it with matches, made a torch, and then went from the corpse-raising site.
The cave entrance on the rock wall entered the cave, and indeed encountered some mummies we killed. Uncle Dachuan saw that he was weak and had a large number of skinless corpses. Before he entered the cave, he had to break the back with a torch and exit the cave. However, when he came out, he accidentally found that the corpse flower ghost vine was ambushing outside the cave, and was swallowed by the big flower buds. He was paralyzed by the mucus on the flesh teeth of the flower teeth and could not move. If we hadn't just fallen to rescue him, we would have to explain it here. Speaking of this, Uncle Dachuan still sincerely thanked us:
"Uncle is so proud this time, thanks to you who came in time." As he said, Uncle Dachuan asked how we found this place. I had to chase the horse with my ears. I lit the sky lantern of my ears, and the horse was knocked into the pit. Uncle Dachuan didn't understand the revolutionary friendship between me and Erduo (experienced being pitted), so naturally I didn't know why I lit the sky lantern. But he didn't delve into it. Until he heard us say that Axia and the Cultural Relics Office entered the cave again overnight, he said it was not good. Then he regretted that he originally thought that he could enter the cave room from the entrance of the corpse pit, but he burned the cave when he broke the back before, and now he couldn't pass, so those skinless corpses ran out from the front of the waterfall. So, counting the time, when the skinless corpses ran out, they should have just met the cultural relics office and the group.
I thought it was not good. If Axia was the only one, she would encounter a corpse monster of that level, self-protection and escape would not be a problem. I was afraid that Axia, who was kind-hearted, would put herself in danger in order to save Gao Maocai, Lin Hui and others. When I thought about it, I suddenly felt a chill rising from the back of my back.
Without further ado, the three of us hurriedly climbed out of the corpse-raising pit along the vines, climbed over the ridge, and rushed to the entrance of the cave that came out during the day. As soon as we confirmed that there were no skinless corpses nearby, I urged Uncle Dachuan and his ears to enter the cave. However, as soon as we entered the cave, we were stunned. The dozens of sarcophagus that were parked here during the day actually disappeared! In the moonlight, the center of the cave was empty, but the ground was smooth, and it was repeatedly grounded by terrazzo...
This strange sense of incongruity suddenly made me feel like a helpless prey fell into a trap carefully arranged by a cunning hunter hiding in the dark!
