Chapter 229 Blood Sacrifice

In order to avoid the invisible crystal tremors in the thunderous mountains that struck people from the sky, I pushed away the countless mummies piled under the sky beam and used them as stepping stones to walk towards the road leading to the altar. At the beginning, everyone was still there.

It's a bit hard to let go. First of all, the mummies with two big black holes on their faces are really too hideous. The empty bodies that have lost their lives were once full of living people with flesh and blood. Most of them are still alive.

I retain the tragic scene of struggling and crying when death comes. Secondly, I am worried that the thickness of the mummies is not enough to offset the crystal tremors, and I am also worried that the mummies are not piled firmly enough to prevent people from walking over them, and they will collapse if they step on them.

.

But later on, the desire to survive became overwhelming, and there were no such worries. Except for Axiang, who was physically weak and missing a right hand, the rest of them threw away their arms and tried their best to carry the body. Even Uncle Ming didn't care.

I was being clever and really tried my best, because everyone knew that this road paved with mummies was the only way to return to the world from hell. Many mummies may have passed through the special path of the priest of Evil Luohai City after death.

After handling it, we were completely dehydrated, so it was not heavy. Even so, the four of us were still sweating profusely from exhaustion.

It didn’t take much time for the mummies to be piled up not far from the entrance of the altar. Seeing that dozens more corpses could be moved to pave the last section of the road, I felt happy in my heart.

The mummies of the sacrifices were just thrown under the sky beam, and there were so many of them. It was really difficult for us to escape from the water. We would not be trapped alive in the water, but we would also have to be shaken by the ghost in the ore.

of being shattered to pieces.

But as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Fatty and Uncle Ming used mountaineering picks to hook the corpses under the sky beam and carry them up. I and the mummies they handed up were piled in front. Everyone was busy busying themselves when they suddenly heard a burst of sound coming from above their heads.

There was a strange noise, and everyone was startled when they heard it. It sounded like it was caused by some force squeezing the crystal. But in the darkness, we couldn't see what was going on above. We could only hear the crystal veins above our heads.

The sound of dense squeezing and shattering was like an invisible giant dragon, sliding across from west to east, causing the surrounding crystals to buzz and tremble.

If you stand nearby and look at the crystals in the cave, you won't notice anything, but the crystal pillars that grow horizontally and upside down are not pyramids or edges. The countless crystal veins are like clusters of sharp swords and halberds hanging upside down above your head.

Once it falls, plus its own weight, it will be like a heavy sword and giant spear chopped down in the air. Everyone can't help but feel in danger when they hear the huge cracking sound of the crystal veins above their heads.

After being stunned for a moment, everyone's eyes were dazzled. They saw a meteor falling like a meteor more than ten meters away. A natural crystal pillar that fell down restored its crystal luster the moment it broke away from the dome and fell.

The sharp crystal cone fell straight to the ground with a whine that pierced the air. After a loud noise, the crystal's luminous light was immediately swallowed up by darkness.

The sound of the crystal cone falling to the ground brought us back to our senses from the state of shock. The muffled thunder that kept coming out of the Thunder Mountain before Mahakala was accumulating the crystal tremor energy in the crystal. At this time, the crystal layer in the altar cave had already

Overwhelmed. It begins to break and crack, and the densely packed crystal cones will continue to fall. Except for hiding in the belly of the Jade Mountain, no place outside is safe, but if there are no mummies underneath, you will die as soon as you step outside.

It's neither a matter of hiding nor not hiding at this time. Out of human instinct, one must want to run to avoid, but those falling ice picks have no rules at all. If you don't run, you will hit the muzzle of the gun if you run.

, and it is impossible to hide after seeing clearly. The sharp crystals are like meteors and lightning, and the speed is too fast.

After the first crystal cone detached from the crystal veins above, there was another cold light flashing in the darkness above the head, and several icy rays of light fell like falling stars. Some were far away from us, but one of them happened to appear above the fat man's head.

, I happened to see it, but before I could tell him to avoid it, the white light roared. It fell in front of the fat man. The pile of corpses at the fat man's feet could not hold the size of half a table. It was thin and sharp like a guillotine.

A piece of crystal, a sharp-edged crystal stone, fell on the pile of corpses without even stopping, then silently passed through the corpses and disappeared into the pile of mummies.

But I saw something was missing on the fat man's face opposite, why his smile was so distorted, but I didn't notice it for a moment. Seeing that he was fine, I was about to turn around and say hello to avoid him, when I suddenly realized something was wrong. The tip of the fat man's nose suddenly changed.

Yin Hong, some blood oozed out, and then the blood gushed out like a fountain, and the flow became more and more. A large piece of flesh was cut off from the nose. Fortunately, the pile of corpses was tilted. In order to maintain balance, he also leaned forward.

If he pressed this angle on the ground, a part of his stomach would have to be cut off, and it would probably have been disemboweled. He didn't feel any pain at all. It wasn't until he saw blood gushing out that he realized his nose was hurt, and he rolled to the side while yelling.

In the pile of mummies at the lower level, Uncle Ming behind him was also knocked down.

I wanted to rush over to help, but as soon as I took half a step, another polygonal crystal fell less than half a meter away in front of me. The four layers of mummies on the ceiling were nailed into candied haws, with the last half four or five.

The meter-long cone tail blocked it. The thunder above the head was getting louder and louder, and the crystal pendants were also increasing. Fortunately, the cave was wide and deep, and the crystal pendants were not limited to a specific area. From the east

They are scattered everywhere in the west, without any rules. Although dangers are everywhere, I found that the precursors are concentrated in the place where the crystal pendant is about to fall. The crystal veins there will rattle continuously. As long as you hold steady

I'm so stunned that I won't have nowhere to dodge, but I know that this is just a sporadic warm-up at the beginning. If this trend continues, there will be a situation like thousands of arrows shooting at a time, and there will be no foothold on the ground.

land.

I saw the fat man who had fallen on the pile of corpses on the lower floor got up with his face covered in blood. He covered his nose with his hands and cursed endlessly. His complaints ruined the good fortune he would achieve in the future. I quickly called Uncle Ming and Axiang and told them to get rid of the fat man.

He found some turtle shells in his backpack and applied it on him. The stuff was very effective in stopping bleeding. Uncle Ming didn't dare to be smart anymore, so he took Axiang and the fat man and hid in a blind corner under the sky beam, and bandaged the fat man's wounds.

I saw that the place they were hiding in was quite good, so I wanted to say hello and go there for a while. I saw that the crystal clusters in the cave suddenly tightened. Once a larger crystal layer collapsed, let alone a pile of mummies under the sky beam,

Even the inside of the Jade Mountain is not safe. The only way is to immediately put the phoenix gallbladder and the crystal eye with the memory of the ghost mother on the altar to prevent the thunder mountain from Mahakala from continuing to collapse.

At this time, there was no time to explain the location in detail. It was already very close to the altar pool, so I had to let her take the risk. I threw the carrying bag containing the sacrificial vessels and caught it, then pushed the nearby mummies to the front, which was two meters away.

The eye socket-like pool is only ten meters long. I thought she wanted to throw her eyeballs directly into the altar there, but the area of ​​the two pools is very small and both are naturally formed. The dragon marrow mentioned in Feng Shui is those waters.

The transformation of life and death of each branch of the dragon vein also comes from it. Although I believe that I will not take unnecessary risks and I am sure that I will be sure to do so, after all, I have to worry about her.

However, he did not take action directly from such a long distance. He was obviously not completely sure. He first used a wolf-eye flashlight to illuminate the direction of the pool, and then dumped several mummies forward. At this moment, a piece of crystal fell from his head.

, hitting a stone man very close to her, causing crystal dust and debris to fly. The crystal stone fell from the sky, and the stone man staggered and collapsed to the ground, blocking the way forward.

Behind me, I completely forgot about the danger of the crystal pendant around me, and watched her every move with great nervousness. I saw her staring at the pool across the stone man, her back rising and falling, as if she had taken several deep breaths, and she stood on the top of the cave.

Amidst the thunder that was as dense as a downpour, the phoenix gallbladder eyes were thrown into the pool according to the corresponding positions indicated in the mural ceremony. The phoenix gallbladder eyes represented the two energies of the world in the ghost cave, and the dragon pill

The two eye socket-shaped pools in the middle are the intersection of the Yin and Yang theory of life and death in the unity of heaven and man, which is also the intersection point of Xuan and Arc in the so-called holographic theory of the universe. The Yin and Yang energy of life and death at the end of the dragon vein are like two

Gathered here like a whirlpool, the opposite energy can materialize the material in the ghost cave and make it truly stay in our world, which is equivalent to cutting off the passage to the imaginary space where the ghost cave is located, and the curse behind it is also

If it is stopped, the heme will no longer be gradually sucked away by the ghost cave, but the mark as a sacrifice to the ghost cave will not disappear until death.

Most of the secrets of these ancient religions are difficult to understand. Coupled with the speculation, I am not even sure whether it will really work. I watched the Phoenix Eyes finally being thrown into the pool, but I didn’t feel anything.

I feel relieved and relaxed, and there is an indescribable feeling of loss in my heart. We have paid too much for this moment. I looked back at me, probably because I was too nervous just now, and my body was shaking a little. At this time, the crystal layer of the cave was surging.

The burning black air also gradually subsided, and the cold fluorescence began to return nearby. The crystal layer no longer vibrated, but there were still many crystal cones that might fall, trembling slightly at high places.

The sudden change from the dense sound to silence made me a little uncomfortable. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said: It's finally over. We finally persisted to the end, survived the darkness before dawn, and spent half a lifetime.

Damn, I finally saw the glimmer of victory.

The melancholy look on his face was dissipating like the black air in the crystal layer at this time. Although twinkling tears rolled in his eyes, they were tears of relief: Yu survived, thank God for letting me know

Otherwise, I can’t imagine how to face all this. Now we should think about going home.

Halfway through my words, I was interrupted by the sound of gunfire from under the sky. Amidst the sound of rifle shooting, I heard the shouts of Fatty and Uncle Ming. I screamed in pain in my heart, but I didn’t know what happened.

It’s also changed. It’s not good. Could it be that the way of offering sacrifices was wrong or something else happened?

We didn't think about it anymore and drew our guns in our hands. At this time, we no longer had to step on the corpses deliberately. We rushed towards the pile of corpses under the sky beam. When we rushed to the pile of corpses, Leng Buding felt something was wrong.

Something as transparent as ice shavings jumped up on the black and purple pile of corpses. It was like the clear crystal suddenly came to life. I thought it was a eyesore, but when I looked carefully, I saw that there was indeed something transparent.

It was approaching us at a very fast speed, and it was impossible to see what shape it was. I could only see an outline that was roughly flat and long, and it moved very fast. I immediately raised it and fired, but

After the gunfire, nothing was left on the pile of mummies. The ghostly thing disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I asked each other in unison: What was that thing that appeared in front of me just now? At this time, I suddenly felt a slight noise behind me. I didn't have time to look back, so I fell to the ground. I only felt that my back shoulder was scratched by a bunch of blades at the same time, and my clothes

A piece of it was hung up, and there was another flower in front of me, a blurry and transparent thing, rushing from back to front. It could still be seen on the mummy, but once it entered the vicinity of the crystal, it evaporated and disappeared, and there was no trace of it.

any sound.

That kind of fuzzy and transparent thing moved very fast, and there was not just one, but two or three appeared on the side. Because it was difficult to see clearly, it was difficult to aim, and the bullets were limited. I couldn't shoot easily if I was not sure, so I had to retreat now.

Behind. It may be possible to capture the target on the narrow beam.

We walked back to the altar hole at the end of the stone stem. At this time, the gunshots from Fatty and Uncle Ming stopped. I don’t know what they did wrong, but they couldn’t escape here. I was getting more and more anxious and suddenly said to me.

Quickly shoot over the head.

It turned out that at this time, there were already dozens of transparent and fuzzy objects following us up to the sky beam. The shape looked like both a snake and a fish. I immediately remembered that I understood the intention of shooting upwards and did not dare to neglect it.

, raised the gun and fired at the crystal veins in the air. The impact of the bullets caused several loose hexagonal crystal pillars to fall down. There were several heavy crystal impacts, and only a few large pieces of dirty blood flowed on the ground. Still unable to see.

It didn't matter what it was, and it didn't matter what the shots were. It caused a chain reaction. A large number of crystal stones fell at the center of the passage, blocking the way back.

But I couldn’t care about that now. When I heard the fat man calling me from below, I said yes and looked to the left and right. There was nothing happening, so we found a way around to the bottom. We saw that the fat man had tape on his nose and a large amount of blood on his face.

Qian, Uncle Ming and Axiang are also here.

Fatty and others were in the same situation as me, but because Axiang saw it in advance, we were able to wake up in advance. Unexpectedly, their shooting saved my life and mine, because we were unprepared at the time. What happened just now

Suddenly, I didn’t feel anything. Now that I think about it, it was really a fluke. There were strong winds and waves, and I almost capsized in the ditch. But what on earth were those things?

The fat man's nose was pressed, and he spoke in a buzzing voice. He pointed at a mass of bloody things. He used his gun and shovel to kill a few of them, and then kicked the thing like something: but he

Mom looks a bit like a human. Look, is it a human or a fish?

I heard something strange. It looked like a man and a fish. It was either a weird fish or a weirdo, or it was a mermaid. Why did this thing look so fuzzy and transparent? With a lot of questions, I squatted down and looked at the mass that the fat man had shot to death.

The thing, because the whole body is covered with blood, you can already see its size. The thing is more than one meter long and has a flat head. I don’t know if it was photographed by a fat man or it was born that way. It is thick in the middle of the body and has a slender tail. It is all over the body.

The transparent thin scales like ice crystals can also emit dim night light. If it were not covered with blood, it would be impossible to see clearly in this weirdly lit cave. As soon as you touch those ice scales with your hands, your fingers will be cut immediately.

It has a slit, which is sharper than a blade. It has no legs, but two fin-like things that look like two human arms. It also has hands, which are no different from human hands, but the proportions are too small.

Even counting the length of his arms, he is only as big as a normal person's hand.

I looked at it carefully several times and said to everyone: This thing looks a bit like a giant salamander. Could it be that kind of amphibious silver doll that extinguishes the lamp? According to legend, that kind of thing does have the difference of extinguishing the lamp. It is very rare and large and small.

Similar to ordinary babies, it only eats small snakes and shrimps. In those days, powerful dignitaries often liked to keep a live baby in a jasper and glazed basin. They would turn off all the lights in the house at night to see the rarity.

, it can really show off, and it is more luxurious than putting up a luminous pearl, but it does not last long, it can live for a few dozen days at most after being caught, and it is full of resentment after death. If there is no thing to keep the house, most people will not dare to raise it at home.

, but I’ve never heard of that kind of thing directly hurting people.

He shook his head and said that it didn't look like the big mouth of the thing was pried open with a sword. When we saw it, we suddenly took a breath of air. There was no tongue in this guy's mouth, and his mouth was full of discolored bone spurs, as well as hundreds of densely packed flesh.

Suction cup, it seems that this thing makes a living by sucking sperm and blood.

It is said that maybe the slaves who were used as sacrifices had their eyes cut off and their bodies were sucked dry by these guys. I wonder if this blood sacrifice is also part of the ritual of ball sacrifice in the ghost cave.

At this time, Uncle Ming interjected: This thing really looks like a silver doll that extinguishes the lights. I bought two of them a few years ago, but they were both made into specimens. Later, they were bought by an Indian. What did they look like in their mouths?

I really haven’t seen it yet.

I raised my head and said to Uncle Ming: Uncle Ming, you didn't even care about escaping for your life just now. It seems that our help to you was not in vain. Your consciousness has improved. I saw that at that moment your soul moved from darkness to light. After all, it was a big deal.

That's it, I couldn't help but relax. I was about to say something sarcastic to Uncle Ming, but before I finished speaking, I realized that there was only Fatty left and one person missing. Only Axiang was missing. I quickly stood up and walked towards

Looking around, we found that all the mummies in this area had been moved to the sky beam. In many places, the crystal layer below had been exposed, and there were a long series of bloody footprints on the ground. Shumeng
