Chapter 199 Demon Slaves
Han Shuna's face, which was burned into a black hole by the "Infinite Karma Fire", opened her mouth to me with difficulty, as if she wanted to make some sound, but the mouth without lips could only open and close suddenly.
I wanted to ask Chuyi beside me to see what happened. Is there any such precedent in the Karamir Mountains before? If anyone who was burned to death would even get corpses? But when I turned my head, I found that Chuyi, who had been talking to me again, was gone, and only the cold wind in the cold night mixed with heavy snowflakes poured into the ice wall.
My heart seemed to be frozen by the wind and snow. My whole body suddenly shivered. I sat up and raised my eyes again. Chu Yi sat beside me with a hunting rifle, holding his leather pocket, drinking barley wine, and then looked at the place where Han Shuna's body was placed. There was no trace of the snow on it. It turned out that I had just been sleeping, but in such a short time, I had a nightmare.
It is not surprising that if you think about something on the day and dream about something at night, it may be that on this dark and cold night, you can see the strange golden mummy of the snow mountain and the tragic situation of Han Shuna being burned to death. The scene lingers in your mind, so you have such a strange dream. But the panic in the dream is really real, maybe there is some subtle omen?
Chuyi handed me a leather wine bag next to me: "You fell asleep as you just said something. I saw you were exhausted today. I heated up the wine. If you take a few sips, the god of barley wine will help you relieve your tired body."
I took the wine bag and sucked two big mouthfuls. I stood up and wanted to confirm again. I had to see with my own eyes that Han Shuna's body had not changed under the "Snow Hill" to be at ease. I had dealt with her before. Even if it wasn't, I was an accomplice this time. I didn't want to wait until there was any change in her body before dealing with it. Then it might damage her body. The most difficult problem is this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got together, I suddenly heard a long "whisper" sound behind the ice wall, and a flare rose into the night sky. This was when we camped, in order to prevent the evil wolf from sneak attacking, several trip-haired flares set up on the periphery were all placed behind several ice mounds, which were the only place to approach the camp from the periphery.
There is a small parachute on the flare, which can make it hang in the air for a while. When the cold wind blows, the pale flares sway in the night sky, illuminating the already snow-white glaciers, making them shine white and shine.
In this white snow mist, more than a dozen giant wolves were exposed to the dazzling light of the flares. The closest of these wolves, only a dozen meters away from the ice wall we built, was indeed coming to attack by the night of heavy snow from goose feathers. I saw that they were close to each other. When I was camping, I analyzed the glacier structure here. It has not snowed for a long time this season. The shooting sound of light weapons does not easily cause the avalanche on the snow peaks. So I simply pulled out the M1911, pulled the sleeve back, raised the gun to shoot. Chu Yi also raised his hunting rifle, aimed at the evil wolf that was stalking, and bombed it out with a bullet.
The wolves quietly approaching on the snowfield may have wanted to wait under the ice wall and start another attack. Unexpectedly, they were still more than ten meters away, and the dazzling light made them at a loss and they became a living target on the snow.
When the fat man and others heard the gunshots, they immediately picked up their weapons and ran out to help. The long and short guns were fired, and more than a dozen wolves were killed immediately. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three giant wolves turned around and rushed back. They were all knocked down by the fat man with a rifle. The wolf corpse fell in front of the ice wall, and blood was spotted on the white snow.
Just as the last wolf was shot by the fat man, the flares hanging in the air gradually faded, and finally the glacier was covered by darkness, and only the whine of the strong wind and snow were heard. The wind was gathered below in this Phoenix Divine Palace located in the Longding Glacier. The gap between the snow mountain and the snow mountain was a ventilation duct that sucked in the strong wind. The higher the upward direction, the smaller the wind. There was basically no wind at the top of the snow peak. This glacier could be compared to a trumpet-shaped wind shaft with a wide mouth and narrow bottom. In addition, the heavy snow drifted, the visibility nearby was very poor.
The fat man squatted under the ice wall to shelter the wind and said to me: "Commander Hu, this time we gave the wolf pack a warning, and they didn't dare to come again. Finally, they could sleep peacefully. I will go back and continue to sleep. If you have anything, you will call me. I just dreamed of marrying a wife. I woke you up halfway through my marriage. I have to continue making a sequel when I go back..."
I told the fat man not to underestimate the enemy. It would be too late to sleep until the day of victory. Now this is far from over. When the white-haired wolf king's wolf skin is stripped off and hung it on the wind horse flag, their wolves have no heads, so it is not a problem.
At this time, Chu Yi said: "Brother Duji is right. These wolves are very deceitful. You need to be careful that they attract our attention here. In addition, other wolves come around from behind. Once they get close to the evil wolf, they can't use guns, which will accidentally hurt their own people."
After the guidance of the guide Junior First, we all felt that this possibility was possible. Junior First, we knew the habits of wolves very well. Judging from the small-scale contact just now, the wolves would definitely divide their troops to capture our back path. Our camp was next to the tomb of the main religion of the Reincarnation. There were ice ditches on both sides, which were not easy to pass. Although mechanisms equipped with flares were set up in front and back, we could not expect them to work.
After a moment of discussion, everyone decided to instead of sticking here and being disturbed all night, they might as well take the lead and attack the wolf before it launched an attack from behind.
The first day of the Chu Dynasty is estimated to be the main force of the wolf pack, and they come from there to the wind, and the gunshots and the smell of people will be noticed by them. The evil wolves must have wanted to take advantage of our carelessness after we win and scatter and rest, and suddenly pounce on them. If we are surprised, we will confuse them and act quickly. Once they are allowed to detect changes, it will be difficult to eliminate these evil wolves tonight.
Shirley Yang said that wolf has strong perception ability, and we are in a good mood again, and it is easy to be exposed. What should we do to confuse them?
The first day of Chu 1 turned over and jumped out of the ice wall, dragged the nearest wolf corpse back, and let everyone wipe some wolf blood on their foreheads. According to the legend of the locals, among all things, only human souls live on the forehead. The evil wolf is a Hungry Ghost of Shura. Its nose and eyes cannot feel the human body, but can only see the human soul. Moreover, it takes a day and night for humans and animals to die before the soul leaves the body. Therefore, the wolf blood that has not died for a while also contains a wolf soul. Use it to apply it to the forehead to cover the human soul, and then it can confuse the wolf pack.
I thought to myself that although this legend may not be true, applying a strong smell of wolf blood can indeed hide the human scent. So, according to the first day of the Chu 1st, I inserted the wolf's neck with a paratrooper knife. The wolf had just died for a few minutes and was not frozen, and the blood was still steaming.
Everyone used three fingers to dip blood, wiping a horizontal stroke on their foreheads, and then with weapons, they turned off the light source they carried on, and quietly touched the ice slope behind. This ice slope is located approximately the center of the Longding Glacier. There are many ice slopes similar to high and low, and there are many undulating ice slopes on this ancient glacier. At the beginning, we didn't pay attention, but we just thought that this raised ice slope could block the wind and snow, so we camped down the slope. Until Shirley Yang and I confirmed the location of the nine-story demon tower in the ice fight, we felt that this ice slope was extraordinary, and it was very likely that it was the place where the crystal corpse of the glacier was buried.
Everyone wrapped Uncle Ming and A Xiang in the middle, lying on the snow, lying on the ice slope, and leaning below the ridgeline of the ice slope. Our equipment is enough to cope with the polar environment. The altitude of the dragon top is not high, and there is a saying: "Warm after the wind, cold after the snow." The real cold wave will not come after the snow fall, and the wolves will retreat into the forest before the snow stops, otherwise they will be frozen to death by the cold wave. Although it is heavy snow at this time, it is not too cold, but even so, lying on the snow on the ice is enough to bear it.
I pressed my hand down and signaled everyone to stop. Chu Yi and I covered our mouths and only exposed the wolf blood on our foreheads. Then we first poked our heads out of the ridge of the ice slope to watch the movements down the slope. If the wolves attacked, this would be a must-pass place.
On the dark earth, there were only snowflakes flying all over the sky. I looked at it for a long time and found nothing. The lead clouds in the sky were heavy, without any light. The visibility was too low, and there was a blurry and hazy darkness around. At this time, Chuyi pulled my sleeves and pointed his fingers slowly down the slope. I followed his hand and watched intently. In the wind and snowy night, there were a few small green light flashing slightly. Because the snow was very heavy, if it weren't for Chuyi's guidance, it would be almost impossible to see it.
I turned on the light flashlight and shook it at the fat man and others behind me, meaning that I had discovered the lurking wolf pack and was preparing to fight. However, the guide Chu Yi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, rushed down the ice slope, and ran straight for the few green lights in the dark.
I don't know why he did this. Could it be that something sudden changed, but I couldn't let him take risks alone. So I carried M1911, raised the "Wolf Eye" flashlight and ran after him. Behind me, the call of Fatty, Shirley and Yang, and others came: "Come back quickly, what are you two doing?"
On the first day of the New Year, I rushed to a place and stopped. I stood still. I was about to ask him what was going on. But I found that there were seven or eight giant wolfs upside down in the snow. The wolf's neck was cut off by a sharp tooth knife, and blood flowed out. Several of them had not yet died. They stared at us with vicious eyes, but they were bleeding too much and they were already extremely moved. The god of death would come to them at any time. We saw those green wolf eyes on the line of Bingpo, which were theirs.
Chu Yi squatted down and looked at the wound on the wolf's neck: "It was the white-haired wolf king, and they will not come again tonight." After that, he used a hidden knife to kill the wolf who had not yet died, and returned to the back of the ice slope with me.
When we told everyone about the situation, everyone felt it was inexplicable. Obviously, we had an accurate estimate at the beginning. The wolf pack wanted to attack from behind, but I didn't know what happened. The wolf king would bite so many similar people to death and then retreat quietly. Even the guide Chuyi, who is very familiar with wolf nature, didn't understand why.
Shirley Yang stepped on the ice slope under his feet and said to everyone that there are probably nine-story demon towers under the ice layer. The customs of the demon country can only be buried after death. Like the leader of the Rinpoche, those clergy with high status are not qualified and can only be buried in the ice caves around the holy land. In the long rap poem "The King of the World's Enemy Pearls", the White Wolf is a demon slave of the Demon Country. The King of the Enemy Pearls once led the army and fought fiercely with the wolves led by the Wolf King.
Although the Demon Kingdom has been destroyed for a long time, the ancient contract between the king and the wolf pack may not have expired. The wolf pack is still carrying ancient curses. Perhaps the wolf king discovered that this was a demon tower dedicated to the evil gods, so he had to give up his original plan and bite a few wolf to sacrifice and sacrifice. This is somewhat similar to the ancient legend of the American Indians about the wolf pack. Is this also the case in Karamir, Kunlun Mountain?
After hearing what Shirley Yang said, I remembered that in the tomb of the Ghost Mother in Kunlun Ya Dafenghuang Temple, there was once a huge wolf skin and a wall carving that drove the wolf slaves. Therefore, the possibility that Shirley Yang said should exist.
Since the wolves will not come to harass them again tonight, they can sleep peacefully and will dig out the most important "glacial crystal corpse" tomorrow, so everyone returned to the camp to rest.
I suddenly remembered that nightmare and always felt that it would be inappropriate to not confirm Han Shuna's body, but it would be better to let Uncle Ming know about this, so as not to cause any misunderstandings. I advise Uncle Ming to burn her body overnight and take the ashes back.
Uncle Ming was already confused at this time and was about to agree, but the guide Chuyi strongly opposed it. It was less than a day and night before Han Shuna died. Her soul had not left yet. When she burned the body with fire, her soul would also feel the pain of karma and fire. It was very bad for the dead, and it would bring disaster to everyone.
As the saying goes, follow the local customs. Although we do not believe in this set of rules, it is difficult to refute them. Everyone had to come to Han Shuna's body. I asked Uncle Ming if he could cover the body without using a blanket, but roll it up and wrap it up. This only benefits are not a place to care. Uncle Ming was silent for a moment before nodding slowly.
I pushed away the snow on the corpse. As soon as I reached out and touched the blanket, my heart suddenly became cold. The blanket was empty and the corpse covered below disappeared. I suddenly removed the blanket. At some point, a not-so-large ice hole appeared on the ice surface below, and there was a huge ice gap below.
Could it be that Han Shuna's body fell down? Everyone rushed to watch. I held up the "Wolf Eye" flashlight and shone down. I found that under the bottomless ice abyss, a figure flashed and flashed into the dark place. I hurriedly tracked the beam of the flashlight. I saw a woman crawling there with her hands and feet on the vertical ice wall between the ice cracks. She was facing her back to us, but her hair had already shown her identity, that was Han Shuna.
Seeing that the dead man suddenly came alive again, the fat man thought that there must be a demon to put his body in his body, so he raised his rifle and wanted to shoot. I stopped him and shouted at him, "Han Shuna, where are you going!"
