Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 350 The Bottomless Demon Cave

The roads in the tropical rainforest are very difficult. We walked for a long time before. Not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners were exhausted, but after hearing the scream, everyone quickly regained their senses.

After listening attentively, Ma Yi'ao said to others: "Hou Zi and I took the small building to have a look, you stay here and don't move, be careful of everything around you."

Li An'an is not far away, he wants to follow, and so does An Li. Ma Yi'ao said with a serious face: "This place is very dangerous, and the enemy may come at any time. What if the formation collapses and someone takes the opportunity to cut it off? How about that?" , Sifan, you also follow us and keep in touch at any time."

When people go to the mountains, all electronic communication equipment has no signal, and it can only be transmitted by people.

What he said was serious and reasonable. Even if the rest of the people had opinions, they would not question them face to face.

We groped towards the direction of the screams, because it was night, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the walk was not smooth. Fortunately, my eyes have mutated in the lava, and I can see things at night, but It's not that clear, it's barely doable.

After walking like this for about [-] minutes, the previous screams disappeared very early, passing by like a night owl, but we still found the scene by virtue of our induction and breath.

It was by the side of a small stream, surrounded by pebbles and mud, and beside a big rock, two people were lying, surrounded by blood.

Before I stepped forward, I could no longer feel the breath of the people on the ground.

It means that we are late, and people are already dead.

Ma Yi'ao walked the fastest. In his hand was a tree stick that he folded casually and used as a walking stick. He stretched out one end to support the corpse lying prone on the ground, and then lifted it over. I saw the man's face. It was full of fish scale-like tumors, squeezing the entire face into a shapeless shape, coupled with the viscous yellow liquid next to it, soaking and festering the facial features, like evil spirits, knowing that these two corpses are all patients in the leprosy village .

But, how could they appear here?
Who made that scream that looked like Ma Qi just now?
If it is Ma Qi, where is he?
I was full of doubts, while Ma Yi'ao checked the cause of death of the two people on the ground. After a while, he said to Ma Sifan and me after the inspection: "A weapon attack, a sharp knife pierced the heart and died, the blood is still hot. , there are obvious signs of fighting around, they should have gone north."

Ma Sifan asked: "Who are they fighting with?"

Ma Yi'ao shook his head, saying he didn't know, but...it might be our old classmate Tang Dao.

what?
Ma Sifan was a little surprised, saying that the Tianji Department is also in charge here?

Ma Yi'ao nodded, saying yes.

He obviously also recognized that the scream just now came from Ma Qi.

If it was Li Hongjun, he would definitely cooperate with us, but Tang Dao is taciturn by nature, he doesn't like to talk, and he is very indifferent to emotions. This is in line with his identity as the "Nine Lives Cat Demon". So I'm not sure what his reaction would be if we showed up here.

But having said that, despite this, I personally have no opinion on Tang Dao. In fact, I think his heart is actually quite rich, and he treats us well, but he is just lax in expressing it. .

So if he is in danger, it's hard for me to calm down and stand by.

Ma Yi'ao looked at Xiaolou who was full of fear again, and asked him, "Do you know these two people?"

Xiaolou looked at the two people who looked like evil spirits, with a look of unbearable, some didn't dare to look at them, I stepped forward, looked at him, and forced him to look at them, Xiaolou shook his head after seeing it, and said he didn't know, except me Parents, I don't recognize the others anymore.

After the onset of leprosy patients, especially in this late stage, the skin and facial features are all mutated, covered with countless scales, tumors and scabs, it is indeed difficult to regain their original appearance.

We understood this matter, seeing that Xiaolou couldn't stand it anymore, we didn't force it.

There were bloodstains on the scene, heading north, Ma Yi'ao turned to look at me, obviously asking for my opinion.

I thought about it and said go and have a look.

In the final analysis, the Tianji Department and us are actually allies, so there is no need to get too tense.

We continued to grope, and soon came to a cave in the shade of a hill. The opening here was narrow, and there was a ditch about two meters wide in front of the cave. Next to the ditch, lay a dead body. We went forward Looking at it, I found that it was a completely normal person.

Ma Sifan shone a flashlight on the man's face, a little puzzled, but I recognized him immediately.

I have seen this man.

That day Tang Dao chatted with me at the South China Sea Avalokitesvara Dharma Assembly, and warned me not to interfere in this matter, and then left with several people, and the person next to the ditch was one of them.

I still remember his face at that time, extremely indifferent, exactly the same as Tang Dao, but at this moment, he died here.

Ma Yi'ao looked around first, and after making sure it was safe, he checked the cause of the man's death, and found that he was shot in the chest by an arrow, which went straight to the heart and killed him on the spot.

On the other side of the cave, there were messy fighting marks and footprints.

Judging from this situation, there should be many people who clashed here just now.

But when we arrived, the place was already empty. According to the analysis of the surrounding traces, both groups of people should have gone into the cave.

Ma Yi'ao and I were a little hesitant to go in, but at this moment, Xiaolou said tremblingly: "Devil, the bottomless devil's hole."

Ma Yi'ao came to his senses and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiaolou said with a look of panic: "This place is called the Bottomless Devil's Cave - I didn't pick up the name, but the old people in the village have been talking about it. It is said that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a group of demons came out of here. , some are covered in flames, some can fly high, and some even eat human flesh, all kinds of viciousness, ravaged many villages in this area, no one survived, and later angered the people on the entire island, The leaders of the Miao people and the Li people went to the mainland to invite the celestial masters, and after defeating those demons, they sealed them back..."

He trembled all over, and said tremblingly: "When I was very young, I used to come here with older children. In the cave, I did pick up a lot of dead bones, and I saw many strange ghostly symbols on the mountain walls and pillars. , I feel that the legend should be true, but there was only one time when we picked up the bones and some gadgets and brought them home, and after we told the adults about it, our legs were almost broken..."

Hearing Xiaolou's narration, Ma Yi'ao looked at Ma Sifan next to him, and said, Sifan, you go there, tell An'an and them about the situation here, and ask people to come over quickly.

Ma Sifan was a little worried, saying that you wouldn't go in, would you?
Ma Yi'ao laughed and said that we are not so reckless, no one knows what's going on inside, if we break in without any preparation, I'm afraid there will only be a dead end - we will guard outside, you go quickly Come back quickly, be careful on the road, if you meet people from Leprosy Village, try not to fight.

Ma Sifan is a member of the advanced research class, and he is very familiar with these things. He nodded, turned around and left without further words.

After he left, we guarded the entrance of the so-called "Bottomless Devil's Cave", waiting patiently, and beware of people and things that might appear inside at any time——the devil that Xiaolou mentioned just now was actually nothing more than being captured by the countryside. Fools re-deconstruct misinformation.

Those so-called demons, Ma Yi'ao and I actually understand, are just some night walkers in Dashanyeze. They were probably offended by something, so they rushed out of the cave where they lived and killed people wantonly.

This devil's cave must be a place where night walkers live together.

But, are there still nightcrawlers here?

What does it have to do with the land lord who brought bad luck to Jinglong Village?

We were full of suspicion, but at this time, there was a muffled roar in the cave, and Ma Yi'ao and I became tense. I even touched the lava stick out, and with a sudden shake, it became Long stick shape.

The moment the lava rod took shape, a leper covered in wounds rushed out of the dark hole.

The man's face had countless tumors and hard lumps, covered with red and yellow mucus, which was shocking to see, while Xiaolou beside us was trembling all over and shouted loudly: "Father, it's me, I'm Xiaolou."

When the man heard the voice, he was taken aback for a moment, and then walked towards this side. When Xiaolou saw his father, he was full of excitement and walked towards the man. The two approached, and when they were about to touch each other , the leper suddenly let out a beast-like roar, waved his hand suddenly, and grabbed at the small building.

I saw his eyes were red and bloody, and my heart skipped a beat. The lava stick pointed forward and directly blocked the two of them. Then the stick turned and released a fiery breath, pushing him to the ground.

The man struggled desperately, but he still couldn't break free from my lava stick.

When he gave up resisting, his eyes recovered a little bit of clarity, he saw clearly the small building next to him, stretched out his hand, and uttered a few words from his throat: "Small, small building, go, go away, get out of here ..."

After saying this, the word seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he stopped suddenly.

Then he died, never to be heard again.

Xiaolou was crying, and at this moment, I just realized that there was a bleeding wound on his heart.
