Chapter 216 The Crying Baby Corpse
The smell of the corpse?
I looked at Mo Xiaobai and looked around. Although the air below the ancient tomb was not good, it was very neat. The eternal lights and candles on both sides were faint and flashing slightly. On the bluestone slabs under my feet were our elongated figures, which were reflected on the stone wall and twisted, looking very strange.
Where is the corpse?
I reached out and knocked on the stone wall. An empty sound came. Nangong Feiyan looked at me and said, "There are all empty behind the stone walls. We have just walked through many stone chambers, and the inside is also empty. Not to mention the corpses, there is not even a coffin."
But if there is no corpse, where does the smell of corpse come from?
I sniffed hard, and there was indeed a mixed and strange smell in the air, which was hard to describe, but I couldn't smell whether it was the corpse.
The hunter often walked steadily in front of him with a hunting rifle and a hunting knife, without looking back. His figure gradually lengthened under the eternal light and walked faster and faster.
I was about to tell him to walk slowly, but suddenly his body flashed and disappeared between the stone walls.
I hurriedly chased after me, and when I looked, I realized that there was another passage ahead, and Chang Hunter had turned in.
The passage was much wider, but there was no eternal light. It looked dim. I chased Chang Huowen and was about to call him, but suddenly I found that there were a few figures standing in the darkness ahead.
I was shocked, and took a slight step back and looked at me closely. However, the figures were motionless, standing in two rows against the wall in front of me.
Nangong Feiyan and Mo Xiaobai stood beside me, and the three of us looked at each other, and I thought to myself, are these corpses?
Chang Hunter stood in front of those figures, stopped, turned around and said to us in a short time: "Come on me, rush over, remember, don't talk."
He said these words quickly and quickly, and his voice was low. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked over.
Although I don’t know what path he led us, there is no other way to imagine at the moment, so I just want to follow him. What the taboo master wants to take is a risky road.
When I walked to the figures, I realized that it was not a corpse, but a personal pottery figurine, standing opposite each other on both sides of the passage, lowering my hands and looking down. I boldly came over and looked at it. It was indeed made of clay pottery.
Looking back at Mo Xiaobai, he didn't react, but looked at these pottery figurines with curiosity, with no abnormal expression.
I breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved, so I turned around and continued to follow Chang Liehuo.
In this way, we moved forward. The passage of this terrain was not long. Every time we were about one meter away, there were two terrain opposite each other. Along the way, there were probably hundreds of terrain figurines on the way. When we reached the end of the passage, there were once again a bright light appeared in front of us. Looking back with the light, there were densely packed with terrain figurines behind us. At first glance, it was like two rows of uninvited corpses standing there, which made people feel creepy.
Chang Hunter did not stop, so we had to continue walking forward. He seemed to be very familiar with this place, and passed through one passage after another, and then turned again, and it turned out to be another passage of terracotta figurines.
I walked here with a worry again. There was a tomb passage in front of me, and there was a lampstand every ten meters. However, the eternal light inside was already out. I leaned over and saw that the lamp oil inside seemed to be still there, but the wick was broken.
I couldn't help but wonder, and followed Chang Liehuo while walking and watching. After turning a corner again, many white bones suddenly appeared in the tomb passage in front.
We were collectively surprised, but the hunters seemed to be accustomed to each other. They turned around and waved to us, indicating that it was safe and there would be no danger.
We had to bite the bullet and walk forward, carefully avoiding the bones all over the floor when we stepped on our feet. But the more we walked forward, the more bones all over the floor were. We almost reached the door of the tomb, and there were almost no place to step on our feet.
I was just frightened, and Nangong Feiyan suddenly said, don’t be afraid, these are all craftsmen who built the tombs. After finishing their work, they were gathered together when they left the tomb passage and killed and buried with them.
When she said this, I felt more and more uneasy. I looked up at the stone door of another tomb chamber in front. The stone door was hidden. We walked in carefully. This was a relatively large tomb chamber. It looked nothing special, like an ear chamber, and there was a passage next to it. There were many gold and silver pottery on the ground, and a huge bluestone coffin in the middle. There were also several pottery figurines standing on the left, front and back of the coffin.
The coffin cover on the coffin was covered with a vague cover and was placed there. I was wondering if there would be any situation there. Mo Xiaobai rushed over without hesitation, leaned over into the coffin, and shouted, "Oh, this is empty..."
He shouted out with a voice, and immediately broke the silence around him. Chang Hunter turned around suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he said quickly: "Take him away..."
We were also shocked at the same time, because we often said clearly just now, don’t talk.
However, when we turned around and were about to walk towards that passage, a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the tomb chamber, and at the same time, a layer of smoke rose.
The crying made my hair stand up all over my body, and the smoke came silently, instantly filling every corner of the tomb. I thought it was not good, so I tightly covered my mouth and nose and ran to the entrance of the passage, but Mo Xiaobai didn't move. He was still standing next to the sarcophagus, his eyes were dull, and suddenly reached out to push the lid of the sarcophagus.
I was shocked. There must be something strange in the sarcophagus and I could not move. I rushed over and grabbed him. However, I was still one step slower. The moment I rushed over, he had already pushed the sarcophagus away. Then he trembled all over and suddenly fell down softly.
I reached out and grabbed him, and at the same time subconsciously glanced into the sarcophagus, I was shocked. The smoke inside the sarcophagus was still gushing out. It turned out that the source of the smoke was here. In the smoke, I vaguely saw a short mummy lying inside, with her face like an orange peel, with dark brown skin, wrinkled, and no facial features. There was a black and shriveled thing on her forehead.
At that moment, my heart was dazed for a moment, as if I saw the thing on the mummy's forehead open, and my hair stood up all over my body. It was actually an eye, with almost no pupils, staring at me woodenly, and it seemed to emit a faint light in the smoke.
My mind was confused, and suddenly I saw Nangong Feiyan and Mo Xiaobai looking at me with ferocious faces and slowly walked over. Chang Hunter slowly raised his hunting rifle, and the black muzzle pointed straight at me.
I said in surprise: "You, what are you doing..."
But they didn't say anything, just looked at me with a hideous face and sneered step by step.
I couldn't help but take two steps back. Mo Xiaobai suddenly jumped up and rushed towards me viciously. I was caught off guard and was knocked down by him. He then stretched out his hands and grabbed my neck without hesitation.
This guy was so powerful that I was very surprised. I tried to push a few words from my throat with my hands: "What are you doing..."
His eyes were blood red, red and weird, and red was afraid of people. He gritted his teeth and said, "Stack you, the evil ghost, and strangle you, the evil ghost..."
How come I became an evil ghost? I became more and more panicked, and I didn’t have any strength at all. The strength in his hand became stronger and stronger. Gradually, I couldn’t speak anymore. I didn’t know where he got such a strong force. I pinched my neck and clattered. I struggled desperately, but the strength on my body seemed to leave little by little, and my eyes were getting black.
In a hurry, my hand accidentally touched a pottery bottle next to me. I thought I was sorry, saving my life is important now, you can lie down for me first...
I grabbed the long neck of the pottery bottle, swung it up, and was about to smash it on his head.
At this moment, a bang sounded in his ears, and a fire suddenly burst into his body, and then a fire broke out on my body. I saw him roll his eyes, lower his hands, and fall to the ground weakly.
I woke up instantly, fell to the ground, covered my neck and coughed violently. When I saw Nangong Feiyan squatting beside me and looking at me, Mo Xiaobai was lying on the ground, his body kept rising and falling, and he was panting heavily. His eyes when he looked at me had returned to normal.
The smoke in the tomb was still there, and my mind was still a little confused. I looked up and saw that Chang Hunter stood in front of the sarcophagus at some point. I felt a stern and shouted, "Don't look at that eye, hold your breath..."
But he ignored me and stood there and watched, suddenly raised his hunting rifle, and a bang of gunshot echoed in the tomb. At the same time, a baby's cry sounded briefly, mixed with bursts of crying, but after the gunshot disappeared, the smoke gradually dissipated.
Suddenly, my mind felt much more awake. After Chang Hunter fired the gun, he hurriedly greeted us and ran out without looking back.
My feet were a little weak. Nangong Feiyan supported me, grabbed Mo Xiaobai, staggered, and ran to the passage next to me.
The baby crying behind us continued, but gradually faded away. We ran away in this corridor for life. Finally, after not knowing how far we ran, we could no longer hear the cry. We stopped. Mo Xiaobai immediately collapsed. Chang Liewo stood aside and looked back at the passage with uneasy eyes, while Nangong Feiyan helped me sit on the ground.
I leaned against the stone wall and breathed heavily. Although the air quality here was not very good, it should be at least harmless.
