Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 30
At first glance at this scene, my heart was broken, but then I found that these corpses hanging on the top of the cave were not just dead, but had been dead for a long time, and they couldn't even smell the smell. It's been a long time, I don't know how many years.

But these are not mummified skeletons. Although they look ragged, they still feel a little greasy. How should I put it?It's like the smoked old bacon that the farmhouse hangs on the stove, it has a very weird feeling.

When I recovered, I heard Qin Liluo whisper: "Shhhhhhhhh, don't disturb these guys."

After hearing this, I couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What, this... can they still be alive?"

Qin Liluo turned her head, looked at me with squinted eyes, smiled slightly, showing her white teeth, and said, "What do you think?"

I couldn't figure out the meaning of her words. All I could think about were zombie ghosts in folklore. I opened my mouth, but didn't dare to say another word.

The few people stood still, Qin Liluo pushed Yuchi who was full of reluctance, and Yuchi turned around, pointed at me, and said in a commanding tone, "Go ahead."

I was taken aback and said why?
Yuchi said: "Follow us, and under our protection, you have to take the necessary responsibilities—will you step forward? I won't force you, if you don't step forward, then go out, leave here, none of us will Who do you owe..."

If it was the first time we met, if I was so excited by him, maybe I would really leave.

However, I have already come here, and I dare not walk around alone.

Under such persecution by Yuchi, although I was reluctant in every possible way, I knew that I was brought here by them, and it was originally used for thunderstorms. After some hesitation, I still couldn't resist, so I said bravely: Just leave, I don't want to take advantage of you."

I stepped forward and carefully walked under the old bacon one after another.

Although these corpses that have been hung up for an unknown number of years are not smelly, the oil dripping from their bodies on the rocks below has been infiltrated all year round, but they are extremely slippery. I took off my shoes when I entered the water. They all came here with bare feet, and they walked on the road soaked in corpse oil, which was disgusting and slippery. They walked very hard, and almost fell to the ground several times.

I remembered what Qin Liluo said just now, and I was afraid that if there was any big commotion, these dead people would really come back to life, so I couldn't help but become more cautious, arched my body, lowered my center of gravity, and guarded against falling at any time.

Fortunately, the aisle where the dead bodies were hanging was not too long, so he walked so frightenedly and cautiously, and finally walked through it.

I came to a corner, scratched the soles of my feet on the ground, and wiped off the disgusting grease stains on the soles of my feet. When I thought that these grease stains were probably the corpse oil dripping from those corpses, my stomach gurgled. The stomach was churning endlessly, and the sour water was coming out, and I almost vomited it out on the spot.

And just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard Yuchi who was not far behind suddenly shouted: "I'll go..."

what?
I turned around, but saw the light of the flashlight behind me flicker suddenly, and then Yuchi fell to the ground, and then I saw a large dense black bug the size of a fingernail, crawling out from nowhere , rushing towards Yuchi who fell to the ground.

Not only that, when this movement came, a gust of wind blew up from nowhere, blowing from behind me.

The cold wind was so cold that I couldn't help shivering all over.

call……

All the tranquility in the cave corridor seemed to end with Yuchi's fall.

Qin Liluo, who had been carefully following behind me, did not turn around to save Huang Mao Yuchi, but rushed forward with a panicked face, like a gust of wind, passed me in an instant, saw me with a confused face, stretched out He came to grab me: "Why are you standing there? If you don't want to die, run away..."

When I was pulled by Qin Liluo like this, I panicked and hurried forward, but just after taking two steps, two black shadows suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, holding a sharp weapon, and stabbed viciously at me in the head.

I was startled, and rolled forward subconsciously, avoiding the thorn, and looked with the help of a distant light, only to see that these two figures were actually puppets.

It is indeed a puppet, a bit like something in a shadow puppet show, with strings pulled on it.

Their faces are human-like, lifelike, but stiff and dull.

This thing is rigid and ridiculous as a whole, but the pair of eyeballs are very energetic. At first glance, it seems that it is not inlaid with glass beads or gemstones, but like a living thing.

In fact, the sensitivity of these two puppets is as real as that of living people. After I avoided their first attack, they actually jumped up and rushed towards me again.

I held the short blade in my hand, swung it suddenly, and just slashed on the puppet.

Boom!
The short blade was standing on the puppet's arm. I thought that even if I couldn't cut off the opponent, I could at least cut off a layer of sawdust. After all, the short blade Ma Yi'ao gave me was well-made, and it could be regarded as cutting iron like mud. I never thought that the short blade seemed to slash on the gold and iron. Not only did it not hurt the opponent, but a huge force was transmitted back, making me staggered and a little unstable.

My body swayed for a while, but another puppet caught up with me and stabbed me in the heart.

Although I have practiced with Fat Hua and Ma Yi'ao before, but where is my vigor at this moment, I feel a little flustered and can't avoid it, and at this moment, a snow-white long hair that is as slippery as cream sticks out from the slanting spines. kicked the puppet's chest heavily, knocking it back a few meters away.

The person who saved me was none other than Qin Liluo. After kicking her away, she glanced at me, turned her head and left without saying a word.

I could feel the disdain in her eyes, as if she was saying, "I've done my best."

It is very unpleasant to be despised by someone, especially a beautiful woman, but this unhappiness is so insignificant compared to the life and death in front of me, I got up and ran forward with Qin Liluo , but felt the whistling of the wind behind him, and the two damn puppets followed closely like cheetahs, not like things carved out of wood at all.

Who is manipulating these things?

This scene is really ridiculous, the living are being chased by the dead, but I know that as long as I stop, I will die here, and in this fierce running, my mind is a little blank, but I still I kept lingering on the above question, confused, and even forgot to pay attention to the fate of the other two people.

After running like this for a while, I suddenly heard a scream, stopped subconsciously, and saw a gap about two meters wide in front of me.

The gap was bottomless, and because Qin Liluo didn't notice it, he stumbled into it. Although he reacted in time, he just clung to the edge opposite the gap and almost fell into the bottomless pit.

I was reminded by Qin Liluo, so I stopped suddenly, but I didn't expect that the puppet behind me suddenly bumped into it, and I lost control and fell directly into the gap.

Subconsciously, I stretched out my hand and scratched around, but I heard a scream from above, and then Qin Liluo also fell down.

Both lost their support and fell downwards.

The situation at that time was so critical that I fell into a mud pit before I could even react.

boom!
The so-called mud pit is naturally very shallow. Fortunately, when I fell down, I felt that there was a soft, slippery and cold object under my body, which buffered the gravity and offset the force of the fall. The limp body hit me, but it was Qin Liluo who fell down with her. She was not very heavy, but she still had weight after all. She fell so suddenly that she almost didn't crush me to death.

I was lying on the bottom of the slippery pit, feeling the pressure of the beauty, pain, and some inexplicable joy, but at this moment, I heard a scream from the beautiful woman above me, and then the short-term peace around me was broken. The child became lively.

Countless cold and slippery things were wriggling around me, and even a living creature passed under my feet. The clear and cold touch made me understand it all at once.

snake!
Yes, a snake is a snake, and it's not just one, but a large group - we actually fell into the snake's nest, although it was dark, but I could feel that there were countless long snakes swimming around, there were Some retreated, some approached, and some opened their mouths, spitting out slender letters, and demonstrated towards us.

Thinking of these slippery, soft, menacing, cold-blooded animals, I immediately got goosebumps all over my body, and Qin Liluo beside me was not as calm as before, and the screaming sound made the whole cave into a mess .

This girl looks calm and calm, but she still has a natural fear of snakes, a cold-blooded animal.

How to do?
At that time, my mind was in chaos, thinking that I was done, I was done, and there must be no way out, but when Qin Liluo's behavior was abnormal, I calmed down instead.

I am a man and I have to stand up at this critical moment.

Even if she looks down on me.

With such demands on myself, I calmed down surprisingly quickly, and then I found that although there were countless long snakes around me with coiled tails, their upper body raised high, and shaking constantly, as if they were about to open their mouths to bite at any time, after all, none of them The poisonous snake dared to step forward.

Why is this?

My mind was thinking fast, and while feeling the advance and retreat of these long snakes, I suddenly thought of something.

What is a long snake?They are cold-blooded animals, and they have a whole set of reaction mechanisms to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The reason why they are so cautious, as if they are facing a big enemy, must be that they regard me as a big threat, so they hesitate to move forward like this.

But what kind of threat am I?
You know, although I have a short blade in my hand, as long as several long snakes swim up to bite me, no matter whether they are poisonous or not, I can't prevent them.

Then why don't they come up?
After a few seconds, I finally figured out one thing - the only explanation is probably that they are afraid of my identity.

A night walker, and a night walker with the hidden blood of the "Lingming Stone Monkey".

Are they afraid of this?
