Chapter 42 Chapter 42: Corpse Turtle

I still want to step on that thing desperately, it is best to step on it directly, but this time, I am even more curious, what is this thing?Well, I admit that curiosity killed the cat these days. The thing just got out of the mud, and then shook its head vigorously, as if it was stepped on by me just now, and it was very uncomfortable. And then, I widened my eyes in shock, this thing?Is it a turtle?No wonder I can't step on it.It is normal to find a tortoise in an ancient tomb. After all, some emperors and generals in ancient times believed that tortoises lived a long life, and even some perverted ancients even used living tortoises and camel steles.

But this tortoise is obviously a small tortoise. At this time, it has slowly crawled out of the mud. Then, I stared at the tortoise, and my face suddenly changed. There are many kinds of tortoises. Ordinary tortoises are all black and not autumnal. There are also pet tortoises that are raised by people. The green ones are called green fur tortoises, and there are some other colors. But the color of this tortoise, as long as anyone takes a look at it, they will like it from the bottom of their hearts. Even if I am in the desperate situation of the ancient tomb, when I see this tortoise, I still want to catch it and take it back to raise.

Although the color of the tortoise was stained by mud, it was a strange golden yellow—yes, that was the color of gold, exquisite and eye-catching, and even under the beam of light of the flashlight, it actually emitted the unique luster of gold. "Scarab?" I was stunned, could it be that there really is such a thing? I walked over and kicked the beetle. It was struggling on the mud with its stomach upside down, but it couldn't turn over. Immediately, the beetle probably sensed the danger, and turned its head. Shrinking, all four feet were retracted into the turtle shell. After thinking about it, I took out the deerskin gloves, grabbed the beetle, and then found a woven bag and put it in. If I can find a way out, I might as well take it out.

But at this moment, I suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and my back felt chilly. This feeling was like being stared at by a ferocious hungry wolf. I didn't look back, but instinctively, I felt the danger coming. I gritted my teeth, then held up the medicine shovel, and turned around abruptly. Seeing this, I was even more scared out of my wits—the crocodile king with a crocodile face and a human body just now had already started to rot after being stabbed in the eyeball by me. , But at this time, it is rotten, yes, the whole head is only a skeleton, and some parasites are crawling inside, twisting and struggling in its brain, indescribably disgusting.

Part of its body was rotting away, and the other part even exuded a rotten stench, and it was rapidly rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. But he is still alive! I don't know what concept is this, why is it not dead?Or, it died a long time ago, and my poisonous needle just made its rotten body start to rot? Now, this crocodile-like monster with scales on its body exudes an even more unpleasant stench from its body, and it also carries a green smoke... Poisonous miasma? This thing rots, and it really produces a poisonous miasma, and, probably out of instinct, it is approaching me little by little...

I was still holding the woven bag containing the scarab beetles, and I hurriedly took a step back at this time, no—I have to find Shanyue and Heibao as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they are not trapped to death, they will be trapped. The poisonous miasma emanating from this monster is poisonous to death. I pulled the rope hard, then shook my body, and with the strength of the rope, I bounced towards the opposite hole, wanting to just cross the pool and avoid the corpse crocodile. But I never dreamed that the rope, which was originally good, would snap in the middle like this, probably because it couldn't bear the weight of my body?But how is this possible?

Almost without any surprise, I fell heavily into the pool with a plop. "Oops—" I exclaimed, the woven belt that was originally hanging around my waist with scarabs was also scattered, and I was about to get it, when a dead crocodile jumped up from under the pool, and it only jumped at my head and face . "Damn it, damn it!" I cursed in my heart, held up the medicine shovel, and slammed down on the corpse crocodile. Finally, I was fast enough to throw the corpse crocodile into the air, only to survive. At this moment, countless corpse crocodiles rushed out densely, and I even wondered where they stayed in the first place?Why did it come out all of a sudden?Or, are they always lurking under the pool and waiting for me?

"Go away - go away -" I slapped the corpse crocodile with a medicine shovel, and at the same time I stumbled towards the opposite side of the pool. The way out has been blocked, only the hole opposite the water pool, maybe there is another way out, and there are Shanyue and the other three, which make me worry a lot now. But now I can't protect myself, those corpse crocodiles are like ants and wasps, densely surrounded me. "Plop—" Suddenly, water splashed all around behind me, and something seemed to come out of the pool suddenly. I knew I shouldn't look back, but the unconcealable horror and depression made me have to look back.

And as soon as I turned around, I started to regret it so much that I wanted to scold my mother-it was the same as last time, a corpse with something stuffed in its skull unexpectedly emerged from the water, and the half-rotten hands didn't look like that at all. The human hand has already grabbed me. I swung the medicine shovel vigorously, slapped the half-decomposed corpse, and at the same time ran towards the opposite side desperately... But, in the hole opposite, countless corpse crocodiles rushed out, staring at me like this, while on the opposite side, There are also countless corpse crocodiles, plus a half-rotten human corpse.

I really don't understand why people who have been dead for so long are actually dead and unresolved?Become such a monster that is neither human nor ghost, nor does it look like a zombie? Of course, this is obviously not something I should consider. What I want to think about now is how to get out of trouble? what should I do? I didn't want to at all, just fed the corpse crocodile, was killed to pieces, and the corpse turned into a monster in the end?This ancient tomb is a bit weird, I can be sure of this, otherwise, this half-decomposed corpse would not have turned into a monster.

It is said that many feng shui treasure places are treasure places for raising corpses. If the corpses buried here are accidentally injected with the energy of heaven and earth, they may not rot for a thousand years, and then take advantage of the energy to become some weird monsters. Life and death seem to be hanging by a thread, here is the ancient tomb! In the ancient tomb, where there are no strangers, why should I hesitate?Thinking of this, I suddenly reached into the pocket hanging on my waist, and then took out a green pill. While squeezing the pill vigorously, I threw it at the monster opposite. Immediately, I covered my nose vigorously, and ran away. The green smoke flashed away in an instant, like a beautiful green cloud, but only I can tell how terrifying and lethal this green cloud is—as expected, even an animal like a corpse crocodile , itself contains a highly poisonous substance, and as soon as the green clouds were removed, it immediately turned its stomach to the sky, and after a few rolls, it stopped moving. And that monster, after touching the green cloud, fell into the pool and remained motionless for a moment. Then, it began to rot rapidly, and even its bones began to turn black... This is quite a bizarre scene. I have swallowed the antidote a long time ago, but when I touched those green clouds, I still felt really dizzy and stuffy. Even, my chest was cut like a knife, and there was a burning pain. . The skeleton of the crocodile king on the opposite side couldn't hold up the body, and fell into the mud, and began to rot little by little. These creatures that deserved to die a long time ago shouldn't exist, it's just... Is it right for me to do this?I was in a daze. I killed those corpse crocodiles and weird half-rotten zombies, but they couldn't disperse in a short time. Once someone passed by, they would be killed immediately. There are people living nearby, and the possibility of accidental injury Sex is too much... Shanyue and the others are also in this ancient tomb. If they inhale the poisonous miasma, what should they do?Am I saving people, or am I trying to kill people? I clenched my fists for a while, I'd better find the three of them first, and I must find a way to get out as soon as possible, otherwise, once the village chief waits for us for a long time and does not go back, he will definitely find someone to remove the big rock above, and then Well, once the poisonous miasma in this golden well is washed out, it will endanger living beings. Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and ran towards the cave opposite the water pool. But at this time, behind me, there was a "grunt" in the pool, and something seemed to roll out. How could this be?I was stunned, the place where the poisonous miasma went, only people like me who have studied the poison since childhood and took the antidote in advance, can survive, otherwise, the gods have also been brought down? I turned around, but was shocked to see that beetle had come out of the water again. This thing is not dead?Isn't this poison resistance too strong?Or is my medicine not working?But looking at the pile of dead crocodiles floating in the pool, with their belly turned upside down, I believe that my medicine has absolutely no effect. What surprised me even more was that the beetle was lying on the water surface, with its neck raised, and began to swallow green clouds... It was a poisonous miasma, a poisonous miasma visible to the naked eye, extremely poisonous, but it actually inhaled it like a cigarette?No, the scarab is devouring the poisonous miasma? I have traveled to many places, and it is not that I have seen swamps that naturally contain poisonous miasma. Of course, those places are not completely devoid of creatures. I have never seen such a monster that can swallow poisonous mist. Could it be that this thing turned out to be the legendary corpse turtle?
