The place where the jar rolled down happened to be at Huizhen's feet. He kicked it inadvertently, and there was a sound of the jar breaking, which shocked us.
Huizhen jumped away quickly, opened her eyes and looked down. The pottery jar may have become very fragile because it has been there for too long. It broke into several pieces and oozed out a pool of stinking black liquid. , particularly unpleasant smell.
"What is the problem."
Huizhen immediately covered her nose, pulled me back some distance, frowned and said, "Why does it smell like a corpse?"
I glanced nervously and said nonchalantly, "This thing is probably corpse water, fat man, let's stay away from it."
Just when Huizhen was about to agree, the corpse liquid in the jar had almost leaked, and a wrinkled thing was exposed under the black corpse liquid, which attracted Huizhen's attention.
He found a wooden stick and carefully rummaged under the corpse liquid. After a while, he used the wooden stick to pick up a piece of yellowed human skin, held it directly in the air, and exclaimed,
"This skin must have been taken from a living person and is still intact."
I took a closer look and saw that it wasn't the case.
The human skin is hollow, with black hair attached to it. The head of a living person must have been chopped off and forced into this pottery figurine. After hundreds of years, the flesh and bones inside have decayed. , only human skin and hair are left.
"Fat man, throw it away quickly, it's disgusting!"
I couldn't help feeling a chill, so Huizhen quickly threw away the human skin.
Huizhen immediately obeyed, stood up and said, "I thought there might be something good in the jar, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting. It is probably a burial object used by the ancients for sacrifices. These guys are really cruel."
As Huizhen spoke, she clasped her hands together and recited Amitabha silently.
But while he was chanting sutras over the human skin, I suddenly noticed that the corners of the mouth of the human skin moved strangely, as if something was covered underneath and was crawling strangely.
"There's something wrong with this thing!"
My eyelids twitched, and I quickly pulled away from Huizhen, intending to leave, but Huizhen asked me what was wrong with a puzzled look on her face.
I looked uneasy and pointed at the wrinkled human skin and said, "Just now... it seemed to have moved."
"Are you mistaken? How can human skin move on its own?"
Huizhen was stunned, lowered his head in confusion, and looked at the human skin with me.
He soon verified my statement. The human skin was indeed slowly squirming, as if there was something underneath that was getting ready to crawl out.
"Depend on!"
I was so shocked that I couldn't help but cursed at the same time and took two steps back.
Then there was a soft "pop" sound from under the human skin, and the skin under the eye socket was propped up by something unknown, forming a small bulging point, which slowly wriggled to the dark eye socket.
Not long after, an insect only the size of a fingernail emerged from the eye socket of the human skin oozing with corpse juice. Its oval back was covered with small gray spots, and it was covered with a layer of carapace. The shell is hard and spreads out like wings, making a vibrating sound of "buzzing".
Huizhen and I opened our mouths at the same time. Before we could figure out what this thing was, it suddenly jumped up from the human skin, spread its wings and buzzed around. Then it revealed a pair of small green bean-like eyes and froze without moving. On my face and Huizhen's face.
This thing was not big, but it exuded a strong corpse odor. There were four pairs of insect hooks under its abdomen, which were sharper than knives. As its wings buzzed and flapped, a black smoke actually came out of its body. The strong stench made people feel sick and shuddered at the same time.
"Corpse..." Huizhen seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly turned pale, showing an expression even uglier than that of her dead father.
I also showed an extremely horrified expression. Legend has it that zombies are cultivated from corpses. Because they have been growing up by eating the carrion of dead people, they are extremely poisonous. They are also accompanied by a large amount of corpse poison. It is impossible for ordinary people to be bitten. Medicine can save you!
I was still in a daze, but the fat on Huizhen's face shook violently, and she pushed me and shouted, "Zhou Xuan, run!"
The moment we turned around, the corpse cricket that was originally hanging in the air began to vibrate its wings faster. With that weird "buzzing" sound, I looked back and found that the thumb-sized thing had already moved towards We flew over.
The zombie flew over very fast, like a bolt of lightning, and rushed in front of him with a fishy smell in the blink of an eye.
As the distance got closer, I smelled an extremely strong smell of corpses, felt my forehead swelled, and almost forgot to dodge.
Fortunately, Huizhen reacted in time and pulled me hard from behind. I lost my center of gravity and hit the back of my head on the stone wall. Tears of pain almost burst out of my eyes.
It was too late to cry out in pain, and the zombie jumped into the air. Its body cleverly turned in the air, made a circle, and pounced on us again.
"Damn it!"
My scalp was numb, and I was groping around with my hands on the ground. Suddenly I touched something sharp. Without thinking, I chopped it hard into the body of the corpse.
It wasn't until I hit the corpse that I realized that what I touched in the mess was actually a rusty dagger, which was probably used by the owner of the tomb for burial.
The material of this dagger is very hard, and it has not been corroded by the patina after so many years. It can be seen that it is not made of ordinary materials.
But when the dagger hit the corpse hard, a "click" sound similar to the collision of steel could be heard in his ears.
Is this insect's shell so hard?
I was frightened. I looked again and saw that I had lost track of the corpse frog. I looked around and found no whereabouts of the corpse frog. I was wondering where the corpse frog was hiding when I heard Huizhen’s panicked shout. call,
"Zhou Xuan, it's lying on your dagger!"
As soon as Huizhen finished speaking, I felt the dagger in my hand beating. I looked down at the edge of the dagger and found that the corpse was not chopped into pieces by me. Instead, it opened its hook and lay on the tip of the knife. , with its cross-shaped mouthparts open, it was biting crazily on the dagger.
I immediately felt that the blade was out of control and almost fell to the ground. Every time the zombie bit it, it would make a gap in the dagger. In just a few seconds, there were several more holes in the edged dagger. .
What a tough mouth this must have!
I simply couldn't imagine the consequences of being bitten by a corpse cricket. I was so frightened that my face turned pale, I dropped my dagger and ran forward.
Click, click!
As Huizhen and I ran, the sound of more jars breaking could be heard in the tomb passage. I illuminated it with candlelight and discovered that the entire stone hall was covered with such black jars.
As the tank cracked, human skins "popped" out one after another.
Under every wrinkled human skin, there is a corpse cricket the size of a thumb!
These beasts were running rampant under the human skin, some crawled out along the eye sockets, and some simply flew into the air with the human skin. From a distance, you could see dead faces floating everywhere in your sight. It was as scary as you want.
"Run!"
My scalp was numb, and Huizhen’s facial features were so frightened that they were almost deformed. Without saying a word, he bravely ran into the depths of the tomb passage.
