Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Gu Worms

God, what the hell is this?people?monster?Or rather, ghosts? Anyway, such things can no longer be regarded as creatures. Although they seem to be human on the surface, yes, they still maintain a human body, but their faces are covered with black scales. Layer upon layer, like fish scales—no, these are definitely not fish scales, these are the scales of the strange snake we killed just now. I smelled a rotten fishy smell that made people want to vomit. The body of this monster was wet and scalded with black liquid, not like water, but rather smelly.Under the light beam of the flashlight, their heads were all weird, with a big lump bulging behind their heads, as if two heads had fused together.

this monster?Could it be that Fatty Hu pulled it up in the black hole?Or, was this what my grandfather looked like when he died?From grandma's stories, including old man Jiang's dictation, the terrifying scenes that I have described countless times in my heart, are now presented in front of me in such a real way... I don't know why these corpses that have passed away for the New Year seem to have life like living people and start to attack us. Maybe, as Fatty Hu said, it is a kind of witchcraft? "Fatty Hu——" I have already grabbed onto the copper coffin in three steps and two steps, and fell down along the copper coffin—as for what is below, I don't even have time to think about it.

This mechanism is too powerful, why not a log, dust? If it was that, even though it would be fatal, it would be better than encountering these vicious ghosts. bang bang bang— Fatty Hu raised his pistol and fired indiscriminately. However, there were ghosts pouring out from all directions in the tomb. They were not fast, but approached the outside step by step. A ghost was wet all over, and stretched out his hand to grab it. I raised my hand and waved the ancient bronze sword, and the cold light swept across it, and the black finger was cut off in front of my face—then where is it still a hand?It was clearly claws, covered with scales, and some black slime, wet and exuding a rotten fishy smell.

However, although I cut off his claws with a sword, and saw that the claws that fell on the ground quickly rotted into a red-black liquid, which smelled stinky, but the remaining half of the arm was still grabbing towards me straight. . This ghost is unconscious, I don't know why, at this time, such a thought unexpectedly flashed through. Immediately, with a flick of my long sword, I slashed fiercely at the ghost's head—with a bang, the ghost's head was instantly cut in half by my sword, but a black jet suddenly shot out from inside. The elongated monster rushed towards my face.

I was taken aback, the ancient bronze sword in my hand grew colder, and slashed at the long black ghost fiercely. The monster almost stuck to my nose and fell into the ground. Holding the flashlight in my left hand, I made a move to the ground, and I was scared out of my wits?This is the above thing? human brain? I have seen the shape of a human brain in a picture, but now the things on the ground are black and coiled together. At first glance, it looks like a human brain, but the human brain is white, but this is black. Yes, moreover, there seemed to be some fine scales sandwiched in it, exuding an unbearable fishy smell, although it was cut off by my sword, it was still twisting and struggling desperately on the ground.

Like a snake?Like an earthworm, or... neither? I looked up, the ghost whose head was cut off by my sword, lost the support of the monster in its head, fell limply, and gradually turned into a red-black liquid... "Hit them over the head!" I yelled. I now understand that the reason these corpses can move must be that some evil person implanted this terrifying Gu worm in their brains.And this Gu worm definitely has a parasitic effect, if it pounced on me just now, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape at this time. Fatty Hu fired a few more shots. His marksmanship was very accurate. After killing a few ghosts, he had already retreated towards me.

The bronze coffin under my feet has sunk more than three inches into the ground. Fatty Hu jumped over with a whoosh. His tonnage-level weight once again exacerbated the sinking of the ancient bronze coffin. "Brother Xu—Brother Hu—" At this moment, Dandan's voice came from the southeast corner of the tomb. "Dandan!" I was anxious. However, I almost didn't even think about it, and immediately swung the ancient bronze sword, chopped down the front monster, and ran towards Dandan. "Bang bang bang—" There was a series of bullets behind me, and the ghosts around me fell to the ground one by one.

With a flashlight in my left hand, I watched Dandan slapping the ghosts around him with his hands. One of the ghosts actually grabbed Dandan's neck vigorously. It was like the claws of birds and beasts, clasping Dandan's white and tender neck, pinching it so much that it almost submerged into the flesh. "Don't be afraid—I'm coming!" I comforted Dandan, and then, the ancient bronze sword slashed at the ghost fiercely.The ghost's head was split in two, and a mass of black jets rushed towards Dandan's face. "Be careful!" I was shocked, but I wanted to chop off with my sword, but it was too late.

"Bang——" A bullet almost flew past my scalp, hitting the black lacquered thing, which fell to the ground, and it was a Gu worm similar to a human brain, still twisting on the ground struggle. Dandan probably has never seen such a terrifying, scalp-numbing thing in his life, and he screamed out in surprise. I gave Dandan the flashlight, and dragged her desperately towards the ancient bronze coffin. Now, this copper coffin is our only way to survive. The ancient bronze coffin has fallen into the ground two feet deep, and the blue bricks on the ground are slowly closing. I didn't care so much, so I pushed Dandan down.

But, at this moment——I looked at the closed green bricks, full of despair, could it be that I was going to die here. Behind me, a ghost suddenly hugged me tightly from behind, bared its fangs, and bit my neck - I swung my sword backhand and slashed wildly. "Damn it!" Fatty Hu yelled, and suddenly stretched his hands on the green brick floor that was about to close, and shouted, "Quick!" As soon as my eyes were darkened, I just jumped down, and the moment Fatty Hu let go, the blue bricks on his head began to close together. I hugged Dandan and lay on the bronze coffin, and Fatty Hu also folded tightly. On me, it felt, fucking bad enough.

It was dark all around, I don't know where this bronze coffin will sink, will there be a way out ahead, or is there another dead end waiting for us? However, there is one thing that I am very pleased with—the space for the ancient bronze coffin to sink seems to be very large, at least, it is not the kind of suffocating small room. To be honest, I was very worried at first. If this ancient bronze coffin sinks, it will only be a small independent space that can only accommodate a coffin. The three of us will be completely finished, and we will definitely be squeezed into flesh Sauce. Fortunately—the ancient bronze coffin is still sinking, and there is a lot of space, so I didn't feel any difficulty in breathing. "Fatty, get up, let me see where this is?" I called to Fatty Hu who was on top of me. "Boss Xu, this coffin is so small, how can I move it?" Fatty Hu gasped. "Dandan—Dandan—" I hugged Dandan vigorously, fearing that she would be crushed, and shouted, "Where's the flashlight?" Because when I was fighting with the ghost just now, I handed the flashlight in my hand to Dandan. . However, the person in my arms was silent and did not answer me. "Dandan—" I called again. "I still have a spare flashlight here..." Fatty Hu was groping in the dark while talking, and after a while, a beam of attention suddenly lit up. Dandan's cheeks were red, and she had already fallen into a semi-comatose state. I couldn't help frowning, what should I do?And Fatty Hu also followed the attention of the flashlight and groped to get up. "This--it seems to be an elevator?" Fatty Hu held up a flashlight to shine on it. I followed the light beam of the flashlight to look over, and sure enough, we were in a small sealed space, with the bronze coffin under our feet, still falling. "Where is this sinking?" Fatty Hu asked. "There should be a way out!" I supported Dandan, and stretched out my hand to touch it. This girl's whole body was burning. If I didn't go out to treat her quickly, I'm afraid that this girl's life would be taken here. "Damn it, wait until it's downstairs, Fatty, I still want to open it!" Fatty Hu stomped on the coffin twice, and even spat. At this moment, I suddenly heard an extremely weird moan, which seemed to come from below. "Fatty—" I shouted hastily. "What's the matter?" Fatty Hu stared at me with a big nerve and said, "Don't stop me, I've decided to open this coffin." "Did you hear any sound?" I asked hurriedly. "No?" Fatty Hu shook his head again and again, but at this moment, there was another groan that seemed to be in pain and gasped again from inside the coffin. This time, it didn't matter that I heard it, even Fatty Hu heard it. In an instant, both of us changed our faces. The person in this ancient bronze coffin has been dead for an unknown number of years. If the body is well preserved, there may still be a few remains. Otherwise, there is a possibility of decaying into ashes. How could anyone moan? "Is there someone in this coffin?" Fatty Hu looked at me blankly. For a moment, cold sweat broke out on my back. If there is a living person in this coffin, what is the concept?I thought again of the flattened face under the coffin, that ferocious smile... I hugged Dandan vigorously. Although I was stepping on the bronze coffin, my whole body was in cold sweat. I have never encountered such a horrible thing in my life—the ancient bronze coffin is still falling slowly, and the speed is still not high. unhappy. "Bang——" Suddenly, I heard a violent sound, and then, water splashed in all directions, and icy lake water poured into my neck. "Damn..." Fatty Hu scolded his mother loudly, and held up a flashlight to shine on me. I originally thought that there should be another tomb below the bronze coffin, but I never dreamed that there was actually a lake below—and this heavy bronze coffin just sank under the water. Therefore, the moment the bronze coffin fell into the water, we naturally fell into the cold underground lake. "Boss Xu, are you still alive?" Fatty Hu shouted fearlessly. "I'm alive and well!" I shouted angrily. Shocked by the cold water, Dandan woke up suddenly, then hugged me vigorously, sobbed and cried. "Don't be afraid, it's okay, we'll be out soon!" I comforted Dandan. "Don't stand and talk without back pain, get out? Is there any way out here?" Fatty Hu scolded angrily. I sighed in my heart. When the bronze coffin fell just now, I still had a sense of luck in my heart. There was no dull feeling in this tomb. For the sake of sighing—with this underground lake, the circulation of air is naturally guaranteed. Moreover, there should be a way out of this undercurrent, but the question is—where is the way out?We don't have diving suits, and the water quality is not very good. It is completely impossible to dive out like this. "The treasure you got, is it just gone?" Fatty Hu lifted it up with a sigh, and the ancient bronze coffin sank underwater. We didn't have a diving suit, so it was completely impossible to get it up and open it again. The fat man sighed. "Look, where... there is someone..." Suddenly, Dandan who was lying on my shoulder said in a low voice. "People?" I was taken aback, besides the three of us, where else is there?Could it be Professor Qian and Xiao Zhang?Or Xiao He and Huang Chang? I turned around and looked in the direction of Dandan's finger. This underground lake is not like the one we encountered just now. It is dark and has no edge. It is not far from us, and it has come to an end... However, now, on the shore not far away, there is a black figure standing there, motionless! "Don't be afraid, maybe it's a bronze servant!" I comforted Dandan. Fatty Hu held up the flashlight and pointed at the figure, but because of the darkness all around, the pale flashlight beam was too dark to see clearly. I can only vaguely see that there seems to be a black shadow somewhere, like a person. "Go—" Fatty Hu drank, and first swam towards the shore. No matter it was the above thing, now, I was soaking in this icy lake, after all, it was nothing. Immediately, I also hugged Dandan and helped her to swim to the shore. "If you can't find anything, Fatty, I'll take this bronze servant back. Anyway, it's worth a few bucks!" Fatty Hu said with a strange smile. "That's a cultural relic!" Dandan said in a low voice, but he really didn't have the confidence to say that. Fatty Hu's speed was very fast, and he was close to the shore not long after, but at this moment, the shadow that was originally looking vague disappeared out of thin air under the beam of light of our flashlight. And on the other side of the lake, unlike the place we entered just now, there is a pavement of green bricks, but rotten sand, which looks very much like the Yellow River Ghost Beach... "Where is anyone there?" Fatty Hu held up a flashlight and shone randomly on the river beach. Indeed, there is a dead silence all around, where is anyone? "Wait!" I turned on the spare flashlight, shone it on the river beach, and pointed to a row of wet footprints, "Someone—look at this!" On the rotten sand, now, under the beam of the flashlight, a row of footprints is clearly printed, extending into the darkness far away... If this was not in a pitch-black ancient tomb, such a situation would be too common, but now—this is an unknown ancient tomb, and the footprints are really frightening. "Could it be to teach them?" Dandan said in a low voice, while wringing the clothes on her body vigorously... "These footprints don't look like the professor's!" I shook my head, the footprints are not the professor's or Xiao Zhang's. Of course, they don't look like Huang Chang and Xiao He's, but rather like that old man Jiang... However, Old Man Jiang is already dead. Fatty Hu gestured at me, the meaning was obvious, and he followed the footprints to see. I nodded, now, we have no other way, we don't know where this is, and we don't know where the way out is, the only way is to follow the footsteps, if we can find Qian to teach them, that's good too. The rotten river bank was not that big. It didn't take long for the footprints to reach the river bank. Then, after a few footprints, the wet footprints just disappeared out of thin air... Dandan, who was close to me, gently tugged at the corner of my clothes, motioning for me to look forward, and I was stunned once again... A majestic palace actually appeared in front of us like this. At the door, there was a row of thick stone pillars carved with complicated patterns. I was busy using a flashlight to illuminate the ground. There were no footprints on the ground, only a thick layer of dust, showing that no one has been here for a long, long time. "Get rich!" Fatty Hu grinned loudly. He was just regretting that the ancient bronze coffin had sunk underwater and could not be opened. Now seeing this huge palace, he suddenly regained his energy. "Look at the decorations on the stone pillars..." Dandan held up a flashlight, pointed at the decorations on the stone pillars, and said in a low voice. "What's wrong?" I asked. "This is definitely a lot of things from the Han Dynasty!" After all, Dandan also studied archeology, and he can almost identify the age of cultural relics at a glance. I nodded. I just glanced at it just now and found out that this palace is majestic and majestic. What makes me even more unbelievable is that the ancient building thousands of years ago is located in the underground world. Why can it be preserved so intact? Moreover, it is the ornamentation on the stone pillars, which is definitely not the style of the tombs of the Han Dynasty. If I am not wrong in my judgment, it should be before the pre-Qin period, and to be more specific - it may be the Western Zhou Dynasty. The problem is, this architectural style doesn't look like the Western Zhou Dynasty... Specifically, this architectural style is different from any dynasty, and it is definitely not the style of any period of history that I am familiar with.Everything here has an indescribable weirdness. "Look!" Dandan pointed to the two words on the top of the main hall with a flashlight, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, look at those two words, aren't they the same as the two words on the stone tablet outside?" "Yongzhen!" I shined it with a flashlight, and sure enough, above the main hall, there were two big characters of bird seal, majestic. On the gate of the main hall, there are Yin and Yang fish engraved, intertwined into a Tai Chi pattern.What is this "Yongzhen" in the end? "Is anyone home?" Fatty Hu stepped forward again, patting the two stone doors and calling. Only then did I realize that this door—is actually a thick stone, and Fatty Hu’s line of calling the door, don’t you know how to change it?The heavy stone gate remained motionless. "Boss Xu, no one is at home, let's rob the house and leave!" Fatty Hu said proudly. "You open the door and go rob!" I really don't know what to say to this fat man, this hall really doesn't look like a tomb... But if it wasn't an ancient tomb, why was the palace built underground? Seeing that what Fatty Hu said was interesting, Dandan not only burst out laughing, but I sighed in my heart, this girl is very strong, her whole body is drenched and shivering with cold, but she didn't say a word. "铛——" The sudden sound suddenly sounded above our heads, and it hit my heart heavily. I couldn't help but trembled for a while, and Dandan beside me couldn't help but trembled for a while too. . "What... sound?" Fatty Hu was very surprised, and turned to me and asked. "I don't know!" I shook my head, and while speaking, I had already raised my head to find the source of the sound, which was too abrupt in the deathly silent underground world. Then, I was stunned to see that there was a huge ancient bronze clock hung on the pillar in front of the main hall... death knell? I shivered involuntarily, is this the death knell?But why, it hangs here, and—who rang it? This bell will never ring for no reason. "Is this an ancient bronze clock?" Dandan's eyes straightened. For an archaeologist, such a well-preserved ancient bronze clock is definitely rare. "铛——" the death knell rang again, with a long lingering aftertaste, hitting our hearts hard. I don't know why, but a sense of fear rose in my heart, and my whole body was cold... "This clock is so weird!" Fatty Hu shouted suddenly, and his voice immediately overshadowed the ancient clock. But this time, we could see clearly that the ancient clock rang just like that, and no one struck it at all. "铛——" the sound of the death knell struck very regularly. "clang--" "clang--" I counted it carefully, and the death knell rang nine times, and then it was silent again, and the surroundings fell into silence again—a terrible silence. The three of us are like clay sculptures and wood carvings, frozen in place, not knowing how to move, the sound of the bell is really breathtaking. Probably unable to bear this kind of depression, Fatty Hu suddenly pulled out his gun and shot at the huge ancient bronze clock. The bullet hit the ancient bronze clock and then flew out. Since the ancient clock was not pierced by bullets . The ancient bronze bell was hit by a bullet, shaking and making a hoarse sound, which was extremely unpleasant, completely different from the mournful sound just now.
