Chapter 18 Chapter 17 Centipede Corpse

It was like a wild animal biting, and in the blink of an eye, there was a hideous face in front of my eyes.The strange face was extremely pale, deformed and distorted, the facial muscles and skin of the whole face drooped weakly, like dry old bark full of wrinkles.At the moment, the strange face opened its mouth halfway, staring at me with two empty eye sockets without eyeballs. Oh my God!This is clearly a rotting corpse whose eyes have been gouged out and the bones of the face have been crushed! I screamed without image, raised the shotgun and pushed it away with the butt, and pulled the trigger.This shot was too tense, and the shot missed. Fortunately, the shotgun fired shotguns, and the distance was very close. Although it missed its face, there were several other places on its body that bloomed.

The shot was fired too hastily. I was sitting on the iron chain dangling from side to side, but now I was pushed by the strong recoil, and I lost my balance, slipped a lot backward, and then went straight back.I was shocked, feeling bad, and subconsciously grabbed it with my hand, but fortunately I didn't miss it, so I struggled with one hand and was suspended in the air. The iron chain is too thick to hold with one hand at all, and it is impossible to exert strength. After a while, it becomes a little difficult to grasp.I struggled to grab the other hand, but when I looked up, I saw that the thing had come close, and in a blink of an eye it was already close at hand.The flashlight also fell in a panic, and I only saw a shadow in the blur, swaying and slowly approaching me, with a hand reaching towards my face.

When I saw it, I was sweating again, thinking that this thing must not be so kind, so I reached out to save me.I looked at the current height in a blink of an eye, and said ruthlessly: Damn!If I don't dance again, I will probably be able to feed the rice dumplings, so I let go of my heart. The next step is vertical free fall. Before I had time to think about the consequences of falling from such a height, I fell heavily on the stone platform, rolled twice and lay on the side. There was a pain in my lower limbs, and soon I almost disappeared. perception. At that moment, I thought that probably my leg was broken, and I was terribly afraid. Sanpao quickly ran over and turned my back on the stone platform. Enduring the pain, I told him to let Ying Ge come down quickly, the situation above was very bad.

San Pao quickly lit another fire, and the surrounding illumination was much higher. With the light of the fire, we could see at a glance that Ying Ge was moving towards the totem stone pillar along the iron chain with Master Feng on his back.I couldn't laugh or cry when I saw it. I dare to say that this guy didn't let me go up to cover, but to be a target for that thing. At this time, the firelight clearly showed the appearance of the thing. It was an extremely thin and withered body, dressed in worn-out plate armor, and tightly bound by iron chains. What was frightening was that this thing There are actually eight hands, and each arm like dry wood is also locked by iron chains.It obviously noticed the eagle's movement, twisted its limbs and wanted to jump forward, but the iron chains restricted its range of motion so tightly that it could only move about three meters away from the sarcophagus.

The strange corpse made a fuss for a while, but couldn't overcome the shackles of the iron chain, and gradually returned to the sarcophagus, and finally survived. "Is this his mother's cave for raising corpses? How did the bred thing be so virtuous? It's as thin as dry wood, with only long arms but no flesh!" Sanpao felt disgusted, frowned and scolded. Long Shao said: "This is the corpse of a centipede. This kind of thing is mentioned in the records of Nanling. It is very dangerous. The ancestors here locked it with iron chains. It is a correct choice." San Pao said: "Hundred feet? Are you talking about eight legs or a hundred legs? I looked at both eyes, and I only saw eight legs in total!"

I frowned after hearing this, and asked, "Then what is this? Is it still a human? Could it be some kind of special deformity that was found on purpose?" Long Shao replied: "It is not easy for this kind of alienated thing to survive. Centipede can only be an exaggeration, but it is actually impossible. This one has only grown to eight feet and has been placed in the corpse cave. The location is right, which means that it should be rare, I think it is likely to be a conjoined deformed person!" While speaking, Ying Ge had already climbed down the stone pillar neatly, and Sanpao and the others hurried forward to meet him, and as soon as he landed, Master Feng on his back fell to the ground.

Master Feng trembled slightly all over his body as if suffering from epilepsy, Ying Ge grabbed the mask on his face and pulled it vigorously, unexpectedly the mask was stuck so tightly that it didn't move at all. Still firmly stuck in his face. When I frowned, I wondered if my face would be welded to death, right?That would be miserable, and it is estimated that there is no way to take it off in this life. I am afraid that Jiuzhijin will transform into Batman in the future. "What's going on?" Sanpao stepped forward twice, he was afraid that he would really break off Master Feng's face, so he didn't dare to use too much force, he only broke it twice symbolically, and asked in doubt.

Ying Ge frowned and said: "Damn, it can't be that thing?" Seeing our puzzled eyes, Ying Ge continued: "When I was fighting, I once had an ambush on the banks of the Mekong River. It was a beautiful battle, and dozens of Vietnamese soldiers were reimbursed on the spot. That time we Our mission was to lay an ambush, but the battle was so exciting that the leaders at the time got so excited that we ordered the pursuit. We chased for more than ten miles in the jungle, and finally wiped out all the remnants of the soldiers, but then we I found something was wrong!" Ying Ge showed a frightened look on his face, and continued: "When the Vietnamese people were almost cleaned up, we suddenly found that our number was wrong, and there were a lot of people missing for no reason. There were seven or eight people missing in the group of thirty people. , and these are not combat casualties, this situation is very serious, so our next task is to find those missing comrades. We searched in the jungle for two full days, and finally found their bodies in an abandoned ancient city ruins, almost Everyone is dead. The strange thing is that none of them have any scars on their bodies, and their faces are covered with a white mask, which is tight, without eye holes or mouth holes. One of our soldiers felt strange and put one of them The mask was torn off, and as soon as the mask was torn off, a bunch of disgusting worms crawled out of his mouth, my God! The whole chest of that man was full of worms, and they were all eaten away." Ying Ge finished. He wiped his face with a look of lingering fear.

"Later, I heard from those veterans that this kind of thing is called a 'ghost mask'. There are wandering spirits in the ancient city attacking us, which made us all have psychological shadows in the future. When we saw the mask, we would shudder!" Sanpao didn't believe it and said: "This kind of thing really happened? Then, wouldn't Jiuzhijin be miserable now? According to what you mean, we should destroy him humanely next?" My legs gradually regained consciousness, but fortunately, they were just a little cramped, not to the point of broken legs, I rubbed my legs and said: "I can't see, the mask is just a dead thing , There is no evil in itself, and generally those who can hurt people are tampered with, which may be related to some witchcraft, and the area we are in is the most popular place in Burma."

Sanpao didn't quite believe my words, so he turned his head and said, "Witchcraft? Can it be so powerful? The mask itself will put you down while you're not paying attention, how amazing is it?" I said to me: "Then don't tell me, there are weird things in this place beyond your imagination. Some witchcrafts are almost like magic powers. They are amazing, and they are all recorded, so they may not be false. Lan You should have heard the story of King Mausoleum!" This Lanling Mausoleum is not the Nanling Mausoleum we are looking for, it is only a letter difference, but the legend of the mask of King Lanling is very famous.Legend has it that King Lanling was generous and benevolent in nature, and he didn't like war, so his army's combat effectiveness was very poor, and he was defeated when he fought with the enemy.Later, King Lanling obtained a ghost mask obtained by a wizard. After wearing it, he immediately became murderous and murderous. He was extremely fierce with one enemy against a hundred.Later, he led an army all wearing the masks of evil spirits, conquered all over the world, and wiped out all kinds of enemies.And just after everything was done, he suddenly discovered that the mask on his face could no longer be taken off.

There are many versions of this legend. The more scientific one is that this mask is a kind of Gu technique, which controls people through a special Gu insect, making people extremely aggressive.This special Gu technique was very popular in the pre-Qin period, but it was lost later. It is said that in the period before BC, the guards of Darius of the Persian Empire were this kind of army wearing silver masks, and they also went to Greece. Brilliant record all the way. After listening to my narration, Young Master Long thought for a moment, then came to Master Feng, and stretched out a hand to touch the back of his head.Suddenly, his expression changed, and he yelled "Oops", and then he pushed his thumb against the back of Feng Shiye's head, and then he held it firmly. After a while, Master Feng yelled strangely and coughed a few times. Long Shao took advantage of the situation and pulled hard, the mask was torn off abruptly, and there was something like a long white intestine attached to it. Master Feng vomited violently, and streams of extremely unpleasant green water gushed out from his mouth and nostrils.I was so disgusted that I quickly turned my face away. What I didn't expect to see was even more disgusting. I saw a white jade-like centipede that was more than a foot long attached to the mask that was torn off. It was different from ordinary centipedes. The legs of the white centipede are very short, but extremely sharp, like uncapped pins being stuck on it. Long Shao pointed to it and said: "This thing crawls into the throat of a person, and its head penetrates the nasal cavity. The needles on their feet will penetrate into the flesh of the mouth like a hook, and they will not let go. Inject a neurotoxin through the tip of a needle to invade the human brain and control human behavior!" When I saw this thing and heard Long Shao's description, I immediately got goosebumps all over my body, and subconsciously stayed away from it.After the white centipede shook its head twice, it retracted into the mask and coiled like a snake.Sanpao cursed, and stepped forward to step on him to death, but was stopped by Young Master Long.Long Shao said that this thing is a Gu worm, very evil, easily attacking it is easy to be poisoned, there is no guarantee that its corpse will not attract others of the same kind. Long Shaoyi said that San Pao had to stop, but he was not relieved. He turned the mask upside down and stuck it on the ground, and moved a big rock to crush it to death. Damn caterpillar, don't let people touch you anymore, I'll keep you in the Wuxing Mountain, and after a few years, wait for the next group of people to come and rescue you!" After listening to it, I laughed and said that the next group of unlucky ones will probably be recruited if they save it. You are not killing harm, you are simply setting up traps to harm people.San Pao replied that I was interesting enough, so why don't I put up a "Dangerous" sign there? The joke was almost over, we all restrained ourselves and looked around for the exit.I didn't find the exit at first glance, but found many corpses with the same black mask on their faces. Judging from the attire, there were people who were buried during the burial, and there were also people who came in to be recruited later.I was quite puzzled, we came here according to the map on the stele, and it is said that few people should have set foot in this kind of place, how could there be a large number of bones from different periods.Thinking about what happened to Master Feng makes me even more uneasy. There are so many corpses here, and it is not a small trouble to encounter a ghost hitting a wall and blinding one's eyes.
