Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Rupture

My scalp exploded, and I thought I had encountered a ghost, really, is this thing really alive? The fat man had already rushed in front of us, didn't stop, grabbed us and ran away, shouting: "Why are you in a daze!" We were taken out by the fat man for a few steps, but we still didn’t react at this time. Looking back, we saw an even more bizarre scene. The face of the stone carving was actually broken, and the facial features were displaced, as if something was wrapped in the stone. something, to come out of it. "Damn it!" I cursed loudly, thinking that my premonition was indeed right, and immediately ran wildly.

We were in a large area of ​​ruins, with rocks and vines underneath, and it was really difficult to speed up. We had to run along the mountain of the ruins, where it was convenient, and fell several times, and our knees were broken. We ran until we were exhausted, and then turned back. Look, I realized that I didn't run very far, but the stone sculpture was still in place, and I didn't chase after it. I couldn't see clearly at this distance. When we were running wildly, our physical strength had pulled us out of the distance. Both Fatty and Pan Zi ran farther than me and were still running forward. I hurriedly called them to stop.They rushed back and pulled me. I grabbed them and told them to hide first, and then look at the stone sculpture in the distance.

They were quite surprised to find that the stone sculptures did not chase after them. We panted heavily and looked at them for a while, but the stone sculptures in the distance remained motionless. Only then did we relax, the fat man panted like a bellows, and said with difficulty: "What's the matter? Xiao Wu, it doesn't move, could it be a mechanism?" "We didn't touch that thing at all, how could it be a mechanism? And the mechanism can't do that." This is absolutely impossible to be a mechanism, the overall stone carving, plus it is sandwiched between two giant trees, if it wants to turn its head, it will make a huge movement, and the two trees may even be twisted, so Even if there is a mechanism, it cannot be rotated, there is no doubt about it.But, no matter what I thought, it was clearly the other way around, which was just too weird.

I was actually prepared for what might happen in the West Queen Mother Kingdom, but such a thing was beyond my imagination. At this time, Pan Zi took out the binoculars from the equipment and looked in the direction of the statue. I asked how it was?What is it?But Pan Zi showed a very surprised expression and said, "Fuck me? Gone?" "What?" I immediately grabbed the binoculars and looked there, and sure enough, the back of the stone sculpture appeared in front of us, however, that ferocious face disappeared. Before I put down the binoculars, the fat man snatched them away. My mind was in a mess. Could it be that what we saw just now was a hallucination?Impossible, the three of us were so scared that we almost peed our pants, so what happened?What about the face we just saw?Could it be a ghost?

"Damn it, is someone playing with us?" The fat man stood up. We were afraid that he would be reckless, so we immediately pulled him to sit down again. The stone here was unstable, and the fat man staggered and slipped, so we hurried to pull him again.Inadvertently, I saw that on the boulder about ten meters away behind me, there was a huge relief of a human face, which was exactly the same as the one I saw just now. It also looked forward blankly, like the expression of a corpse. When I ran just now, I ran all the way and didn't pay attention to the ruins around me, so I don't know if the relief was there in the first place.

When Fatty and Pan Zi saw it, they immediately felt something was wrong, and stood still.The fat man said, "Damn it, it's not alive." "More than one!" Pan Zi said, pointing to one side. When we looked, we found that there were relief sculptures of human faces on the surrounding boulders every now and then, some big and some small.But most of them are hidden by vines, and it's not clear if you don't look carefully. If you look carefully, you will find that the scale is astonishing.Almost everywhere.The place where we lay down was less than ten meters away, and there was a huge human face. The strange thing is that all the reliefs here are human faces, and there are no patterns of bird bodies.

When the fat man saw so many dull stone eyes looking at him, he couldn't help panicking, so he picked up Pan Zi's gun, and I immediately held it down, telling him not to act rashly.I can already feel something is wrong all around, these don't seem to be reliefs. But before I could clearly figure out what these things were, suddenly, one of the reliefs cracked open, and then I saw a strange scene, all the broken stones floated up. I stared dumbfounded, and thought to myself, did I finally lose my nerve?Are you hallucinating in broad daylight?Pan Zi yelled, "Damn it, it's a moth!"

I suddenly realized, and looked carefully, sure enough, the floating stones were all black moths, these human faces were arranged by these moths, no wonder they suddenly appeared and then disappeared.Immediately, the human face reliefs around them began to twist and crack, and a large number of them flew into the air and scattered in all directions. These moths are obviously lying on the ruins here. After being disturbed by us, for some reason, they lined up to look like human faces. Soon the sky was almost covered with black debris. We didn’t know if these moths were poisonous. We all subconsciously covered our mouths and noses with our clothes. However, things with protective colors are generally non-toxic. Watching the moths gradually Flying away, like black petals all over the sky, it is quite sensational.

The fat man caught a few moths and said he wanted to take a closer look. He didn't know what species these moths were, but he caught a few and failed to catch them.Our hearts gradually let go, and it was a false alarm.But it's not our fault, the situation is appalling. We stayed where we were, and didn't dare to act rashly for a while. The moths flew away one after another, leaving only a few sporadic ones. At this time, we saw that the original ruins had changed. In the place covered by the moths just now, A large area of ​​white was exposed. If you look closely, you will find that there are groups of white snake sloughs, entangled in the vines of the plants, which look like the white intestines of some animals.

The fat man jumped down, and when he saw the vines, he picked up one and cursed. Most of the snake sloughs were rotten and riddled with holes. There are hundreds of moths in the gaps in the ruins and in the gaps between tree roots. Just now, all these moths stopped on the snake sloughs. They may be attracted by the fishy smell above. This may be the hiding place for these snakes when they shed their skins. We felt chills when we saw it. The scale of this ruins is huge. How many snakes need to live here to shed their skins to such a scale? The fat man climbed up and showed us the snake skin he picked up. The head part of the snake skin is swollen, and you can see the shape of a cockscomb. It is indeed the skin that the poisonous snake sheds. This snake skin is as thick as a calf. , thicker than the snakes we saw before, it seems that we can't estimate the shape of the snakes here.

The fat man obviously felt disgusted, frowned, and didn't even look at it. Snake slough is a very valuable traditional Chinese medicine, which can be sold for more than 100 yuan per catty. The scale here, there are at least several tons of slough, and the value is astonishing. If the fat man knows about it, he probably won't feel so disgusted.But I just knew it and felt goosebumps all over my body. Pan Zi touched the snake's skin and said, "This skin is still very tough, it seems that it has just shed. This is where they shed their skin. Snakes usually shed their skin in places they think are safe. If you encounter one or two people here They will think that their territory has been violated the most seriously, and they will definitely attack us. I don't think it is suitable to stay here for long." I looked back. If I wanted to go backward, I had to go through the area where these snakes sloughed. It was extremely unpleasant, but Pan Zi was right to worry, there might be those poisonous snakes in the hidden places here. We set off immediately and hurried out of the area, expecting to encounter at least a snake or two, but it went so smoothly that we found nothing.Thinking about it, it seems that snakes are rarely seen during the day. It seems that these snakes are nocturnal animals, which also shows that this forest will definitely be very lively at night. I went deep into it and smelled a disgusting fishy smell, which was very weird. When I walked out of the ruins and followed the terrain back to the woods, the contents of my stomach were already stuck in my throat. After re-entering the rainforest, the feeling of covering the sky and the sun came over again, but after a period of time just now, I feel that the air in the rainforest is simply enjoyable. The humid air with the smell of swamps is much better than the smell of snakes. Soon, The feeling of my vomiting is gone. After being delayed in the ruins for a while, Pan Zi walked extremely fast, but his physical strength had reached the limit, and we stopped talking, so we walked for four or five hours.We clearly felt that the terrain was lowered, the water flow in the swamp was turbulent, and the sound of waterfalls could be heard everywhere, but we just didn't know where. Pan Zi took out the dry food, and we continued to move forward while eating. Not long after, we finally encountered a waterfall, a fault that suddenly lowered the terrain, and I don’t know what it was ancient relics. Along the way, I am almost sure that this valley is a concave terrain, the center of the valley should be the lowest, so that all the water will flow there, I feel that the West Queen Mother Palace should be there, but at this time it is not at all It doesn't matter anymore. After we passed the waterfall, we were all soaked, and there was another cave under the waterfall. The water seemed to seep into the ground, and the vegetation became denser. It's just pushing forward for a certain distance, and then I lose my sense of direction. Uncle San and his fellow smoke thinned out quickly, and even if we adjusted the compass, we were worried that we would go too far, so Pan Zi had to stop and climb up the tree to find out the direction. I was completely lost at this time. As soon as Pan Zi rolled over, the fat man and I leaned against the tree to catch our breath.But it didn't take long for Pan Zi to point out the direction, and Dao was already close to Third Uncle and the others, urging us to move on. Looking at the watch at this time, I have been walking non-stop for a day. I have never experienced such an intense trek in this environment. Now I can still stand. I think it is indeed a lot stronger.But now it's beyond the limit of my physical strength, and I feel like I can fall asleep as soon as I sit down. Fatty discussed with Pan Zi and the forced march started again. Fatty saw my pale face and knew that I was exhausted, but it was impossible for him to help me under the current situation.Can only keep talking to me, let me divert attention. The surrounding scenery was monotonous, and there was no topic to talk about. The fat man just looked at the things in the water and asked me, "Xiao Wu, you said that these waters flooded the dilapidated house, are there any bright objects?" I said that according to the exploration experience of the ancient city of Loulan, there are naturally some things, but because the ancient city was buried by water, you don't have to think about things like silk and bamboo slips, and there may be some pots and pans left.what do you wantShouldn't it be itchy again. The fat man hurriedly said that it doesn’t itch or itch, how can you look at you and me with an undeveloped perspective, this time our goal is to get a big ticket, I will retire when I get the things, how much are these bottles and cans worth? No matter what, we have to find something that can be put up for auction in the Beijing Hotel. I listened and sighed, thinking that there are so many annoying things that you still have the mind to think about this. Talking while walking, it was helpful at the beginning, but then I felt more and more blurred in front of my eyes, things in the distance gradually became unclear, and the trees became blurred.I thought I was going to faint, it was really embarrassing.But the fat man said, "Damn it, why is it foggy?" I tried my best to calm myself down, rubbed my eyes and looked around, and found that it was really fog, not my eyes were blurred. I don’t know when the fog came up, it was gray, and the forest in the distance was completely invisible. The trees a few meters away also turned into strange shadows one by one.A cold breath began to envelope the surrounding forest. I don't know if it's due to fatigue or the drop in temperature.I began to have extremely restless heart palpitations, and a sense of entanglement oppressed my heart like a nightmare. We were outside the sea of ​​trees last night. We don’t know if there is fog in the sea of ​​trees, nor do we know if the fog is poisonous, but we can’t care so much, and we didn’t bring gas masks. We tore some clothes, covered our mouth and nose with wet, and walked a certain distance, and we didn't feel any discomfort, so we put it down.But at this time, we found that the fog was so thick that we couldn't see anything.
