With a bang, Yue Guanchao lifted the coffin lid and turned it over completely. Song Siyuan touched the indentation and felt the words on the coffin lid. However, she had never learned Braille and her finger touch was not precise. After touching it for a long time, she could not analyze what it was. .
"It's too dark here, why don't you turn on the flashlight?"
"Hey... don't dare to open it, something will happen."
Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Song Siyuan had already opened her backpack and took out the flashlight.
There was a click and the flashlight lit up.
This incandescent light instantly illuminated the surroundings, and she could see clearly the marks on the coffin lid: I was taken away by them, go to the underworld to find me!
"I was captured by them, go to the underworld to find me!"
Song Siyuan repeated these words, feeling an ominous feeling in her heart.
However, before she could figure out what was going on, the light source of the flashlight had already attracted the female corpse figurine.
She looked at the ground. The female corpse figurines looked up and screamed, with gray and pale faces, like ghosts emerging from purgatory, trying to capture them like crazy.
Lu Fengjian looked at the corpse figurines on the ground and explained to Song Siyuan:
"I forgot to tell you that these female corpse figurines are particularly sensitive to light sources. Once they encounter bright light, they will bite like crazy."
Although Song Siyuan didn't understand why the female corpse figurines were acting like this, she understood everything when she saw them go crazy.
She quickly read through the text on the coffin lid before the corpse figurines came, and turned off the flashlight in time before the corpse figurines caused trouble.
This feeling of racing against time made the three of them break into cold sweat, and their hearts were in their throats!
"Just now, Aying left us a message. It seems that she was captured by these corpse figurines and taken to the underworld."
After Song Siyuan relayed what she read, everyone was shocked. They only knew that a sacrifice was needed to restart the Dragon Vein Spiritualization Ceremony, but they didn't expect it to come so early.
"Then if it's what you said, it was indeed the corpse figurines who captured you, but why did they only seal you in a coffin and take Aying to the Yin Tower?"
No one can answer Lu Fengjian's words. There are too many secrets in Aying's body. Maybe she is the one who wants to be sacrificed by the corpse figurine.
While they were silent, the corpse figurines around the altar were also changing, and the chains began to shake at some point.
He took a closer look and saw that the corpse figurines were slowly crawling over along the iron chains, and gray-green ghostly faces kept gathering towards them.
"Isn't it said that they are sensitive to light sources? We have turned off the flashlight, why are they still crawling towards us?"
Until now, Yue Guanchao was not sure whether his judgment was right or wrong. Seeing the corpse figurines surrounding them, several people raised their foreign guns and shot at these ghost things.
The house was leaking and it was raining continuously. They should have hid in the darkness, but the fire caused by the firing of foreign guns once again exposed their positions, attracting more corpses to attack one after another, causing the chains to scream loudly.
As a result, the three people fell into a dead situation!
Without shooting, the corpse figurines would be able to spot them by following the light, and they would definitely be bitten by them.
But if they shoot, the intense fire is equivalent to the smell of blood, which makes the corpse figurines extremely excited.
They were in a dilemma, and the atmosphere gradually became depressing. They could only avoid the female corpse figurines by constantly walking around the copper rope array.
Just when everyone thought they were dead, a roar of vicissitudes suddenly sounded in the distance, like an old dragon's low moo, which made everyone feel respectful.
Yue Guanchao looked up and saw the old man Wu Tuman running towards him. He was walking on the ground between the chains and came to the side of the three of them in an instant.
"Uncle Utuman, weren't you up there? When did you come down?"
Song Siyuan waited for reinforcements, all the worries on her face disappeared.
"Hey, don't mention it. We are defeated by Tang Dianrong, so we have to evacuate first. I don't know where Tang Dianrong has gone. I have been looking for him for so long, but I haven't found any trace of him."
After Wu Tuman finished speaking, he opened the water bag on his waist. When the unknown liquid was poured out, all the female corpse figurines suddenly wailed, as if they were hit by hot oil and scattered toward the surrounding trees.
Yue Guanchao turned on his flashlight and observed carefully. He found that the corpse figurines were splashed with unknown liquid and completely lost their ability to move. They lay on the ground as if paralyzed and could not get up. They occasionally trembled a few times and emitted large amounts of foul smelling gas from their bodies.
But for a moment, the green-gray corpse skin on their bodies was like an inflated balloon, expanding along the markings, as if there were snakes and insects swimming under the skin, gradually gathering towards the fine lines.
With a pop, the corpse figurine swelled to the extreme and finally cracked completely.
Where the cracks opened, many small transparent snakes came out, and then the corpse quickly decayed and turned into a skinny and rotten corpse.
These snakes are like slugs, no longer than an arm, and their bodies are as thin as chopsticks and covered with fine golden scales. They are covered in mucus, and only their heads have fine lines with silver rings.
The pair of red eyes flashed fiercely in the dark night. The snake letter spat out slightly and disappeared into the cracks of the altar bricks with a hissing sound.
"What is this?"
Everyone saw the little snake with golden scales disappearing, and the corpse was no longer moving. They could almost guess the reason why the corpse figurine bit people. However, after all, they had never seen such a vicious snake, so they couldn't help but feel eerie and disgusting.
"Uncle Utuman, what did you splash? It smells so strong."
After all the corpses disappeared, they descended to the ground along the rock climbing rope. Utuman breathed a sigh of relief: "They arrived in time. You will know what is in the corpses."
Yue Guanchao took out his dagger and cut open the tattered corpse. What appeared inside made everyone's eyes widen.
What exists in the corpse figurine is not a human at all, but an old fox that has rotted for a long time. It is just that its size is very large, just enough to fill its skin, so it has a human form.
"Uncle Utuman, isn't this the legendary fox that turned into a human?"
Yue Guanchao thought of the story of the fox fairy in his childhood, and felt a slight chill coming from the back of his head.
The old man Wu Tuman glanced at the dead old fox and snorted coldly: "If it is really a fox fairy, how can we win with just a few of us? This is a ghost poison fox made of snake poison. The evil fox in the north It’s just a technique.”
He paused and continued to say to everyone:
"Ghost foxes are usually made from old foxes. Before they die, they will be filled with mercury to keep their bodies incorruptible. At the same time, they will also put golden snake eggs in their brains. When they die, the golden snake will break out of its shell. , taking over the body of the old fox, a willing person can control the golden snake to harm people through the Gu technique. This kind of thing is afraid of cold and light, and is naturally repulsive to things that can emit light."
"So, they are generally used as tomb guarding animals. Once a tomb robber enters the tomb and lights a candle, he will be attacked by the ghost fox. As for why they are wearing human skin, it should be related to the mysterious ritual of this altar! "
"Just now, I saw something strange when I came down. Wu Yueniang used her beast control whistle to summon a corpse figurine. Most of the corpse figurines in the altar can listen to the summons of the Sushen tribe."
