Nine out of ten fears in the world come from being caught off guard.

The reason why people can scare people to death is not because they are ugly and cannot bear to look directly at them, or they suddenly slap a big face in front of others. People with poor psychological quality may get over it in an instant.

What's more, ghosts are scary?

Nowadays, I have a very high immunity to such unclean things, but the moment I was caught by the opponent, I still felt a rush of cold air from my crotch to my forehead, and I jumped up with a "pop", instinctively

Move back.

Ordinarily, this kind of unclean thing is basically far more powerful than a living person, making it difficult to compete with it.

My whole body was tense, and I was ready to fight with the opponent, but in the end I easily got rid of the opponent's entanglement. On the contrary, it was because I was too strenuous when I retreated, and I was staggered and almost fell.

I fell to the ground. For a moment, I was a little confused. But before I could react, a scream of "Ah" suddenly sounded in my ears. It came even more suddenly, and it had a deafening effect, which shocked me.

My head was "buzzing", and the remaining clarity was wiped out by the roar. My legs went soft and I sat directly on the ground. I felt like I had a cramp in my lower abdomen. If my reaction speed hadn't been good,

I immediately clamped my legs together, and I was so scared that I peed.

When I came back to my senses a little, I saw Lao Bai's hateful face.

I swear, if I was really scared to the point of peeing today, I would definitely stuff my underwear into my mouth. How could a grown man scream so horribly and coquettishly?

Fortunately, Brother Yaozi and Zhang Xinya reacted very quickly. The moment I broke away from each other, they stopped in front of me. Two bright flashlights were immediately aimed at the direction of the stretched hand. The one in Brother Yaozi's hand.

The short sword was raised high, but strangely it did not swing it down. Instead, it tilted its head, as if thinking about something...

I was extremely puzzled by the weird attitudes of these two people. I glared at Lao Bai fiercely, then pulled the other person's sleeves and stood up.

On one side of the wide corridor, there are several iron cages of different sizes, connected in a series. At first glance, they are the kind of iron cages used to hunt wild beasts in the mountains. Some of them are rusty and look like they have been kept here for countless years.

Some of them are still shining with a cold metallic luster under the light, and they are at least 60 to 70% new. These things should have been picked up by the old fox from the mountains.

However, these iron cages are now filled with men and women who look miserable.

Under the bright light of the flashlight, these men and women shrank and slumped in the cage, looking haggard. They probably stayed in the dark for too long, and their skin showed a sickly pale color. It was difficult to adapt to the bright light of the flashlight, and they covered their heads one after another.

eyes.

The first one is a woman who looks like she has long hair, which is stained with mud and filth, so that it is stuck into pieces. The sides of her cheeks are sunken, and she is sitting on the ground with her eyes covered, and there are waves of low sounds in her throat.

roar.

I was so impressed by those dry and pale hands, this was the one who pulled me!

"Is this a human or a ghost?"

Lao Bai exhaled softly.

Brother Yaozi glanced at him angrily: "Didn't you see that you are still panting?"

Indeed, this tomb is quite cold and gloomy. If you can see the faint white water vapor coming out from the mouth and nose of the person in the cage, there is no doubt that he is alive.

However, their appearance is really no different from that of evil ghosts.

"Are they from the pastoral area?"

Zhang Xinya sighed softly: "I've been tortured into this state. I'm not a human being, I'm not a ghost!"

I glanced over a few cages and took a look. There were about twenty or thirty people. Their clothes were in tatters, but I could still vaguely see that they were the clothes of fellow villagers. However, the number was much smaller. They must have been beaten.

This gang of evil spirits has caused harm.

Probably after hearing the word "pastoral area", the woman who was dragging me through the fence suddenly raised her head. Under the light of the flashlight, she could not open her eyes, but she growled "babble", pale.

His withered hands kept patting the iron fence, making a "clang" sound, but tears kept falling from his eyes.

Here, it seems that she is the only one who still has some strength. The others can only cover their eyes with their hands and collapse in the cage...

This scene definitely stimulates people's nerves. When they were taken away, you probably wouldn't expect anything good to happen, but seeing so many people being tortured in front of your eyes does challenge the limits of people's endurance.

Brother Yaozi hesitated for a moment, walked over, knelt down and looked at the woman carefully, and at the same time softly comforted her, telling her not to be nervous. We were entrusted to save them.

I got closer and was immediately forced to take a step back by the stench in the cage. The environment inside was really... I guess they were all eating, drinking, and peeing in there during this period. They were able to persist until now, probably all because of their will to survive.

.

I observed the woman in front of me. Her lips were chapped and her throat was swollen, but she couldn't say a word. Seeing this, I immediately knew something.

He was obviously thirsty and hungry, his throat was dry and hoarse, and he couldn't speak at all.

I took out water and dried beef from my backpack. As soon as the other party saw these things, he immediately stretched out his hand in front of me.

"You are in such a bad state right now. If you eat like this, it will kill you!"

I whispered something and waited for the other party to calm down, then kneaded the beef and threw it into the water. For a hungry and dying person, his sanity was long gone. I didn't dare to give it to him directly.

When the cow swelled and the water became turbid, like mud, he handed it to the other party.

The other party took the thing, raised it and was about to pour it into his mouth, but he quickly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and got up to feed the man next to him...

Seeing this scene, something seemed to be touched in my heart.

People are actually afraid of hunger. It's okay to be naked, but if they really lack that morsel of food, anything will happen. In the past, there were many things where people exchanged food for food. At this point, she was still willing to hand over the food in her hand.

To others, that look always makes me feel a little sad.

At that moment, I grabbed her and said softly: "You can eat first. We still have a lot of dry food, which is enough for you to eat and drink separately. You need to calm down first. This place is not safe. We still have some questions to ask."

you!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, but she was a calm person. She probably rushed over to me at all costs. She also heard our conversation. After a slight hesitation, she took a sip from the bottle and drank. To be honest, this thing definitely doesn’t look good.

Well, normal people would probably not bother to take a look, but in her hands, it was like the most precious treasure in the world, and she drank it in small sips.

But even so, it was still unbearable for a person who had been hungry for a long time. Soon her face changed, she bent over and vomited, coughing repeatedly, and there was a faint blood color in the vomit...

"Okay, don't eat anymore, let's regain our strength before talking!"

Let me remind you.

At this time, Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya had already taken out all our dry food. Fortunately, we didn't lose anything this time, and there was still a lot of dry food left. Then Brother Yaozi cut open the locks on the iron cage one by one, letting them

The two went in to rescue people, while he himself stayed on guard, staring at the end of this wide corridor, where there was a dilapidated wooden door...

The woman calmed down for a while, finally recovered a little, and her face became a little more cheerful. Although her voice was still hoarse and intermittent, she could at least speak: "Thank you..."

"I'm just being entrusted by others, and that's how it should be."

I sighed, pointed to the wooden door, and asked, "What's in there? Is it something harmful?"

The woman thought for a while and told me that there used to be a lot of scary things there, but recently they all ran away and now there was only one fox left.

She also said that not long ago, the fox put them into a cage, locked it, and said to himself - "The time has come, the world has been decided, who can make a comeback? As for you people, just...

Let me fend for myself in the cage. I am old and it is time for me to return to the God of Coiled Snake. One day, I will return with God."

Then, the old fox never came out again.

The woman only knew that before the old fox went in, he ate a lot of food, which was so scary that all of them together might not be able to eat that much. It felt like they were almost exhausted...

After hearing this, I couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

The time has come and everything has been decided?

Could it be that we are still a step too late after all?

Has the old fox achieved his goal?

Also, why did the old fox eat so much before going in?

I couldn't figure it out, so I simply put the problem aside. Since there was only one old fox left, the threat was gone for the time being. As for the two evil creatures, they must have not returned yet, otherwise it would just be a small wooden door.

He really heard what we said, and there was no way he could hide it from the other party. He would have come out to kill us long ago.

After thinking about it, I asked again: "What did it do when it captured you?"

When she talked about this, the woman's whole body trembled, and her eyes flashed with fear. Obviously, it was a nightmare more terrifying than hunger.

"There is a corpse, the corpse of a woman. I accidentally heard the fox chanting that it was their king!"

The woman trembled: "We were forced to sleep with that corpse every day. The corpse was very scary. As soon as we lay down in it, it immediately turned around and held us in its arms. Moreover, we had to bleed it every day to feed it.

she.

I noticed that on one side of the two arms of the female corpse was a tattoo of a monster with a body and a snake tail, and on the other side was a tattoo of a weird fox. The weirdest thing was that it was obviously just a pair of tattoos, but when the female corpse was holding me

At that moment, I felt like those two tattoos came to life and were staring at me!

That feeling... is so terrifying, and it’s not just me who feels this way, everyone does!”

Female corpse hugging someone?

This should be the energy that swallows people.

Feeding blood, I think this is related to the evil art of raising ghosts.

Plus those two tattoos seem to be alive...

Connecting everything in the tomb, I seemed to vaguely guess what Donghu wanted to cultivate?

At that moment, I immediately asked: "Is there no sign of decay on that body?"

"yes!"

The woman said without thinking: "At first, I thought a living person was asleep. It wasn't until I was hugged by the other person that I realized that the other person had no body temperature or heartbeat. He must be dead, but his body was not moving at all."

I’m not stiff anymore, my skin is whiter and more elastic, and it doesn’t stink at all. It also exudes a light fragrance, which smells great..."

After hearing this, my expression became extremely strange.
