? Chapter Ninety-Seven: Man-Eating Pool
The three of us walked all the way with the light of the water stone, and when we reached the foot of the mountain, we could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a bit, and there was an indescribable, very dark like death breath The feeling of being shrouded in the mountains made the already dark atmosphere in the second half of the night even more intense.
Ning Hanzhi walked in front. After Long Biyuan was broken, everyone's expressions were very solemn, but the sound of a gust of wind blowing leaves around could arouse vigilance.
I don't know how long the three of us walked in this tense atmosphere. When we crossed the mountain and heard the sound of the stream flowing, the sky was already gray and it was about to dawn. If we walked a few hundred meters ahead, we would be able to I saw a stream that was neither deep nor shallow, somewhat narrow, and full of stones.
Everyone stood at the foot of the mountain, did not act rashly, looked at the stream with a tacit understanding, and waited for the dawn. The three of us did not act until the first faint sunlight.
Surrounded by mountains, criss-crossing, there are no less than three small peaks on the edge of the creek. Let's start with the nearest ones, until the sky is completely bright, and then we are under the woods that can block the sun. I found a small hole, and the outside of the hole was covered with weeds as tall as a person. Among the weeds, there was a small mottled stone tablet covered with green moss.
I squatted down and was about to skim off the moss on the stele to see what words were engraved on it, but was stopped by Long Bi's eyes.
"This moss is poisonous, don't touch it, I'll come."
She took out a silver knife studded with diamonds, and just as she aimed the blade at the moss, the smooth and bright surface of the knife suddenly turned black.
"I've seen this moss in the Miao Village. Logically speaking, it shouldn't grow here. It is estimated that someone planted it here deliberately, in order to prevent others from looking at the things on the stone tablet."
She gently scraped off the moss, unexpectedly, a corner had just been scraped off, and a head that looked like a bird or a chicken was exposed under the moss. The rest of the moss was scraped off, and only then did the stone tablet show its true colors.
"This is two birds on the bead?" I looked at the totem on it and asked in amazement.
Long Biyuan nodded solemnly, "It's exactly the same as the pattern I saw in the water stone. We may have found the ruins of Minyue Kingdom by mistake."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Hanzhi walked forward quickly, towards the cave beside her. Long Biyuan pulled me to follow after the moss covered the stone tablet.
This hole is very dark, even in the daytime, the sun can't shine in here at all, and there are crisp "clicks, clicks" under my feet from time to time, as if we have guessed something, I looked down and found The ground was covered with slender bones, as well as the skulls of birds or other small animals.
"This is a bone left by a bat."
Just as Long Biyuan's voice sounded, she was about to take out the water stone, but was stopped by Ning Hanzhi.
"Don't move. If there is really a flint hidden here, if there is a commotion before finding its exact location, the mountain may collapse."
"This place is pretty close to what Zhang Jian said. There should have been a lot of bats before. Even if something happened to kill all the bats in the cave, bats from other places would fly here. Why now? None left?"
The more one walked in, the more surprised Ning Hanzhi's eyes became, until a sound of dripping water sounded from the front, and everyone stopped.
"Tick tock"
"Tick tock"
"Tick tock"
"Tick tock"
The dripping sound was not loud, but very regular, almost every five seconds.
The strange thing is that the further we walked in, the sound of dripping water got farther away from us, as if we had missed its direction. No matter how we walked, we couldn¡¯t find the source of the sound of water, let alone see it. The magical water pool that Zhang Jiankou mentioned.
"Did we find the wrong cave? Are there other caves here?" I stopped.
Ning Hanzhi shook his head: "Probably not. Zhang Jian came to look for the ancient tomb for the second time and searched all around. If there are other openings, he will let us know in advance."
"Then we are still going straight down now?" I looked at the bottomless black hole in front of me and asked with some concern.
Ning Hanzhi could answer if he didn¡¯t, but asked a question instead: ¡°Zhang Jian has entered this cave twice, and the two times were different. Now it has been ten years since he came here last time. You say, this cave will Wouldn't it be alive and move by itself?"
"WhatAre you sitting?
"Could it be that there is no water in this pool at all?"
Almost at the same time, Long Biyuan and I both realized this. After looking at each other, we jumped directly into the water. The moment we jumped into the water, our eyes suddenly went dark, and a wave seemed to be trapped The feeling of choking on the water came to my face immediately.
The weird thing is
We didn't feel like we were in the water at all.
The feeling of falling is very strong, as if the whole person has been falling, and the surrounding area is so dark that even Long Biyuan has taken out the water stone, it cannot be illuminated, so the two of us can only determine each other's position by shouting.
I don't know how long it took before we landed, but it was as if we had landed on the cotton. We didn't feel like we fell at all, but there was a faint stench from the cotton, as if something had rotted.
A faint blue light lit up not far in front, I looked up, and the moment I saw Long Biyuan and her water stone, I also saw everything around me clearly
An indescribable nausea and panic spread all over my body, and my pores stood on end. If I could fly at this moment, I wouldn't even want to touch the ground with one foot!
"My God, are they all corpses?"
I swallowed, and looked at Long Biyuan in disbelief, only to see that her face was very ugly, and there was even a faint hint of paleness.
"Everything here is exactly the same as what I saw in the water stone, these corpses"
"I even saw them standing up"
When she said that, I was so frightened that I ran straight towards her, both of us were shaking from head to toe.
It's not that we haven't seen corpses and dead people, but we haven't seen so many corpses and dead people. At a glance, they are densely packed. In terms of area, it is enough to fill a playground. It is simply a huge mass grave!
What's even more frightening is that when we landed on the ground, the reason why we felt like we were falling on cotton was because these corpses had already been piled up into densely packed hills. There are freckles all over the body, and there is a patch under the eyelids, which is very dark and dark, as if he died of a serious illness.
The clothes on the corpses were already in dilapidated condition. We could only vaguely tell from the design on the clothes that these corpses came from ancient times, but they miraculously did not turn into mummified corpses or rot, except that they were covered with dust and had some traces of time. , as if he had just passed away.
"You said these, is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"
I asked Long Biyuan with my heart beating.
She took out a silver knife and replied to me: "It looks like she has some serious illness, but I feel that it's more like being poisoned, otherwise she wouldn't die so ugly."
After saying this, she stabbed the dagger into a corpse at her feet, and pulled it out a few seconds later. There was only a little blood on the knife, but it was not black.
"Isn't she poisoned? That's impossible, right?" Even she, who is good at poison, seems to have failed to understand the current situation.
