Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 41 The Wolf-faced Bat
Those hundreds of mummified corpses were like weathered jerky, exuding a strong breath of death.Our previous excitement and emotion suddenly disappeared, replaced by deep fear.Although we, as professional archaeologists, often deal with dead bodies, this is the first time we have seen so many dead bodies gathered together. The scene is both spectacular and weird.

Gu Meidi said: "Could it be that this is a grave for thousands of people?"

I said: "Probably not, these dead bodies look more like funeral objects!"

Professor Ye nodded and said: "These ordinary people are victims of the feudal dynasty. I guess these mummies were craftsmen who built the ancient pagoda. After the ancient pagoda was completed, the brutal rulers made it All the craftsmen were turned into mummies and hung on the top of the plank road!"

Professor Ye spoke calmly, but I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.I looked back and found that since I stepped on the plank road, the top of the plank road was covered with mummies, but our attention was not on the top of the plank road, and the light was dim, so we didn’t notice it before.Now knowing that there are so many corpses hanging above my head, I only feel my scalp go numb.Just think, what a frightening thing it is to walk under a group of dead bodies!

Gu Mei flute held his chin and said: "I have a question, if these dead bodies are really the craftsmen who built the ancient pagoda, wouldn't it be more clean for the ruler to kill them directly? What about the top? Does the ruler have any special purpose in doing so?"

I said: "If we can guess the purpose of the feudal rulers, then we will be as perverted as them. Maybe they hang the mummies on the top of the plank road just for decoration?"

"Huh!" Gu Meidi glanced at me: "Tuobagu, you are really perverted! I will make you into a mummy tomorrow and put it in my living room as a decoration!"

I shivered suddenly, it really is the most poisonous woman's heart!

Not long after continuing to walk forward, Professor Ye suddenly stopped.

Gu Meidi and I asked with some doubts: "Professor Ye, is there something wrong?"

Professor Ye raised his index finger to his lips, signaling us not to speak, then he closed his eyes and listened intently, the expression on his face gradually becoming serious.We didn't know what problem Professor Ye was thinking of, so we could only stand behind him, not daring to disturb him.But Professor Ye's heavy expression made our hearts start to beat uneasy.

Suddenly, Professor Ye opened his eyes: "Did you hear any sound?"

Gu Meidi and I were taken aback at the same time, the sound? !what sound? !

Professor Ye turned around and looked at the bronze iron tree in the center of the ancient pagoda, his face sinking like water: "Listen carefully, the voice seems to be coming from that bronze iron tree!"

Gu Meidi and I looked at each other, neither of us spoke, we each put our ears up and listened intently.The interior of the ancient pagoda was extremely silent, only the whistling sound of the dark wind passing through.But soon, a strange fluttering sound pierced through the wind and reached our ears.

Gu Meidi looked at me in surprise: "Did you hear that?"

I nodded: "I heard it, the sound is so weird, I don't know what it is coming from!"

The fluttering sound gradually became clearer. At this moment, Gu Meidi suddenly pointed at the bronze iron tree and shouted: "My God! Look quickly! Look quickly!"

The sound of Gu Mei Di was sharp and hasty, as if he had seen something incredible.

I fixed my eyes and looked into the distance, and I was stunned and silent.I saw those icy blue light spots on the bronze iron tree suddenly shine brightly, flashing and flashing, like flickering blue light bulbs, and like countless ghosts and monsters that are about to move, adding a touch of mystery to the bronze iron tree and magical.We stared blankly at those ice-blue light spots, not knowing what those light spots were.

In our surprised eyes, those ice-blue light spots slowly floated away from the bronze iron tree, floating in the air like ghosts.For a moment, the scene inside the ancient pagoda became grotesque, and the ice-blue light spots were like stars dotted in the night sky, so beautiful that it made people feel unreal.We seem to be in a strange and ghostly space, and we have forgotten where we are.

Gu Meidi's pupils shone with a blurred brilliance, and she shouted happily like a little girl: "Wow! What are these things? They are so beautiful!"

As the icy blue light spots drifted away and flew up, the weird fluttering sound broke out instantly, shattering our intoxicated dream.

We watched in amazement at the ice-blue light spots flying in the air, and felt an uneasy premonition in our hearts.

Before we came back to our senses, those flying ice-blue light spots suddenly gathered into a group, like a cloud with a strange blue light, flying towards us in a fluttering manner.

I involuntarily clenched my pistol, and cried out, "Grandpa, what the hell are these things?"

Professor Ye's eyes froze, and the expression on his face became very ugly. He only heard him say in a deep voice, "It's a bat!"

bat? !
Gu Meidi and I were taken aback, why are these bats ice blue?It is so strange!

But in the blink of an eye, those blue bats had already flown above our heads, and at this time we could already see the faces of these bats clearly.In fact, in my impression, bats are not scary animals, but the blue bats I saw this time made me feel sincerely scared, because these blue bats are so ugly and hideous.

These bats are very big, each bat is as big as a football, and their bodies are fat and round, like round lanterns.Their heads are pointed and long, and they look a bit like wolves, looking very fierce.Two rows of sharp fangs are exposed to the air, enough to tear prey to pieces.Just imagine, what kind of ugly creature is the appearance of a bat with the face of a wolf!Now, however, such hideous creatures hover above our heads, threatening to swoop down on us at any moment.

The blue bat looked domineeringly at us, the uninvited guests who broke into the ancient pagoda, exuding a strong murderous aura.They flapped their wings desperately, and hundreds of huge blue bats flapped their wings at the same time, making a strange fluttering sound.

I don't know if Gu Meidi and I were stunned or what, but we didn't react at all to the murderous bats.

Professor Ye suddenly roared like thunder from the side: "Run! These are wolf-faced bats. We will die if they stare at us!"

There was a tremor in Professor Ye's voice. The wolf-faced bats could scare even Professor Ye, a veteran of the world, which shows that these bats are really not good.Gu Meidi and I woke up like a dream, and ran quickly along the plank road behind Professor Ye.

As soon as we ran, the hundreds of wolf-faced bats hulala all chased them up, flapping loudly, and behind us, it was like firing a cannon. Even at a distance of more than ten meters, we could feel the waves The strong wind coming.

Those wolf-faced bats came so fast, quickly closing the distance between us.At this speed, we will be overtaken by them if we run another ten meters at most.At this moment, we have no good mood at all. The dreamy beauty that we thought was strange and strange just now turned out to be bloodthirsty and murderous wolf-faced bats. This depressed feeling is as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

Although we have been to many places with Professor Ye, those are all scientific investigations under the condition of absolute safety.However, this time, it is the first time that we risk our lives and face death.Perhaps until this time, we can deeply understand how dangerous and fatal the profession of archaeology is!

Watching the wolf-faced bats swarming up, Professor Ye, who was running ahead, suddenly turned around, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and swept at the wolf-faced bats rushing forward.

Only the sound of rattling could be heard, and the flames shone on Professor Ye's face. Professor Ye clenched his teeth, his face was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat, and roared from the depths of his throat: "Ah, ah! Go to hell! Bar!"

The golden shells jingled and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, like the deadly note played by the god of death, echoing endlessly in the empty ancient tower, shaking our ears dumbfounded.

Although those wolf-faced bats are extremely fierce, they can only be beaten passively in the face of the hot weapons invented by humans.After this round of berserk bullet rain, dozens of wolf-faced bats rushing to the front were instantly pierced by bullets, bursting like balloons, and strange and enchanting balls rose in the air. The blood mist and the pungent stench made us unable to open our eyes.Seeing this, the rest of the bats retreated one after another, and there were many fragmented remains of bats scattered on the ground.

"Let's go!" Professor Ye raised his chin at us, changing magazines while running.

We thought the threatened wolf-faced bats would just let it go and stop chasing us.However, we were wrong. After calming down a bit, those wolf-faced bats gathered together again and chased after them desperately.

As we ran forward, we turned around and shot from time to time. The bats were overwhelming, and basically we didn't need to aim. Just shooting a random shot would kill a bat.After a while, the blood and corpses of wolf-faced bats were scattered all along the long and narrow plank road. The scene was very tragic.

The wolf-faced bats that smelled blood became even more frenzied. Some wolf-faced bats pounced directly on the corpses of their companions, devouring the corpses of their companions in the blink of an eye until only a pile of white bones remained, which was particularly terrifying.These wolf-faced bats are like soldiers who are not afraid of death. They rushed up one after another, and then fell down in pieces.The waves of attacks came one after another without stopping at all.

In the face of vicious wolf-faced bats, our ammunition will soon run out, and without firearms to defend ourselves, we will lose the capital to fight wolf-faced bats.How can we fight these bats with our bare hands now?
