Chapter forty-eight
Just when I was not careful, the huge creature under the lake rushed up suddenly, opened his mouth and swallowed the ball of falling down.
In the blink of an eye, the flashlight reflected from the bottom of the lake was vaguely seen that it was Han Sen who fell down. Although his limbs were already incomplete and his rotten skin was almost covered with knife marks, he was definitely sure that his body size was him.
Before I could recover, the giant quickly floated up and swayed in front of me. I couldn't describe what species it was, to be precise, I didn't see clearly. The only thing that left me with the impression was its cold and murderous eyes, because just as it was swaying in front of me, I accidentally looked at it.
It can be said that these eyes will be unforgettable for me. Before this, I have never seen such a sharp look and murderous aura that is enough to shock everything. That feeling will make people completely give up the courage to resist at first glance.
Strangely, I thought it would continue to attack me, but I didn't expect it to just wander around and then slowly disappear.
During this period, I was so nervous that I felt extremely nervous. Seeing that this giant disappeared, I suddenly felt relieved. It seems that I have really had a great fortune when I came out this time. I was able to escape the disaster again and again. It can be said that my life should not be lost.
Just as I was a little relaxed, a few bright light suddenly appeared on my head. Then Professor Wu and his team jumped down one after another like dumplings. The splashing water made me tremble again.
When they surfaced one after another, I saw that everyone had new injuries to varying degrees. It must be that they had a fierce battle just now.
With them coming down, I felt even more at ease. No matter how I could be with everyone, I would have hope of getting out. Besides, I fell down by chance, which saved some trouble.
But it was obviously not suitable for chatting at this time. Everyone held up flashlights and looked for a place to stay. The surrounding environment was vaguely visible. With the flashlight, I saw that the right side of the lake was a shallow not far from us, and from there was an uneven slope.
I quickly asked everyone to swim over there, thinking of going to take a break before making plans, but I was exhausted at this time. Fortunately, Qin Xuanling came to hold me, otherwise I really didn't know how to act.
When we all got ashore, I quickly told them what I had just experienced. After hearing the white paper fan, my brows frowned, as if I was thinking.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, I asked him, "Did you think of something?"
Bai Paper Fan nodded and replied, "You just mentioned that you saw a piece of granite engraved with words under the lake, right? I think there may be something strange here."
Qin Xuanling took the conversation and said carelessly, "Then go down and see if there is anything strange."
I suddenly realized that the atmosphere seemed a little abnormal. Everyone was hanging their heads. Only Qin Xuanling and Bai Paper Fan would look at each other from time to time, but I couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Without saying a word, Baipao Fan took out a device from his backpack. I recognized that it was a micro-respirator made in the United States, which was specially used for short-dives. It was only the size of a anti-virus mask. After wearing it, the hydrogen peroxide in the device can be converted into oxygen for people to breathe whenever it encounters water. It is very convenient to use. The only disadvantage is that it does not last long and can only be used for five or six minutes.
Unfortunately, the journey was full of thrillingness. Our diving equipment was almost lost halfway, and only the Siyans had a small oxygen cylinder in their backpack.
Qin Xuanling took the four-eyed oxygen cylinder and inserted the tube into his mouth, nodded towards the white paper fan and pierced into the lake, and then the white paper fan jumped down.
In less than two minutes, they got out of the water one after another, but they obviously changed their expressions. I don’t know if they were tired or had some problems. In short, they looked very bad.
I asked hesitantly, "Is there anything wrong?"
Qin Xuanling said, "The one below is not granite, but a stone coffin. I can't explain the specifics clearly, but it just looks very strange, so we rushed up."
I was surprised for a while, my mind was a little confused. In my memory, it was obviously a piece of granite, but why did it turn into a stone coffin?
By the time of speaking, everyone was exhausted. The trouble just now had already exhausted us, so we leaned against each other and started to rest and would not discuss this matter for the time being.
However, since I fell down, I had nothing to do with what happened to me, and I couldn't help asking Qin Xuanling what happened.
He said slowly. After I fell into the hole just now, everyone was startled. When they came to their senses, Han Sen had already pounced on him. At this time, he had completely lost his will and became completely dead. He almost rushed to the scene when he saw people. After a hard battle, everyone was unable to escape the lottery.
At the critical moment, Qin Xuanling and Bai Paper Fan worked together to subdue Han Sen. Unexpectedly, just as they relaxed, Han Sen suddenly started a attack again. Under the critical situation, Bai Paper Fan had to kick him down.
When everyone thought that I had fallen down before this, they didn't hesitate much, so they simply fought to the death and jumped down.
I thought to myself that this is really better than to be able to get there sooner than to get there. If they had come down one minute earlier and the giant was still there, it would be difficult to say what happened next.
But I still don’t know what the living zombie is. Why did the zombie poison attack Han Sen make him become a living zombie, but it doesn’t have much impact on us.
Qin Xuanling continued to explain that living stalemate is called living stalemate, which is actually a living dead person.
It means that a person infected with blood zombie poison is attacked by the zombie poison when he is about to die, causing a return to his entire body. In this case, his body will be controlled by the zombie poison and become no different from the zombie, but the person does not completely die, so he is considered a veritable living dead person.
If we had time to be prepared just now, we could completely stop Han Sen from going crazy. As long as we let him go through that period of rejuvenation, his body would naturally fail and die.
It’s a pity that time is tight and we didn’t have time to prepare, which made the situation worse, which led to him being strangled by corpse poison and ended up in such a tragic ending.
Speaking of the corpse poison on our bodies, it is actually the corpse liquid of the blood zombie, but this thing can be either big or small. If it is serious, it can kill people. It is just that if it is mild.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to form corpse poison. One is that the deceased is fed by someone when they are buried. The herbs are fermented for a long time and become corpse poison. However, this corpse poison will only damage the skin and will not kill human life.
At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a group of tomb robbers in Luoyang. The leader was named Zhu, nicknamed "Zhuqiface".
Legend has it that this man encountered something strange when he was stealing the Yongchang Mausoleum of Taizu Song. When he pried open the coffin, he found that Taizu's body was not rotten, so he wanted to take off the jade belt tied on the body.
But unfortunately, the corpse was too sunny and could not be forced to take it. He came up with a way, first tied one end of the rope under the shoulder of the corpse, and then put the other end on his body, pulled the corpse up face to face, and took advantage of the momentum to untie the jade belt.
Unexpectedly, a stream of black mucus erupted from the corpse's mouth. The man thought it was Taizu's appearance, and his legs were so scared that he felt weak on the spot. Then he respectfully returned everything back to its original state and withdrew from the tomb.
The black mucus that remains on his face has never been washed away, and has been called "red lacquer face".
According to unofficial history, before being buried, Zhao Kuangyin was poured with many secret herbs made by the sorcerer of the martial arts worldly warlocks to achieve the effect of not rotting the body. These herbs did work, but they also turned into corpse poison and eventually gave the tomb robber a face.
Another type of corpse poison is a bit terrifying. In ancient times, some evil ways would specially train the tomb guardians in tombs for nobles. These tomb guardians were trapped in the tombs and used witchcraft when they were alive. After they died, the resentment and evil spirits in their bodies would turn them into zombies that could move and walk, and then they would be prevented from tomb robbers.
