Chapter 874 Headless Bones
Wushuang always followed my words without any compromise, and this time was no exception. As soon as I finished speaking, he had already taken off the Mo Dao on his back, and lifted the cloth covering the blade.
The Mo Dao, which weighed several dozen kilograms, easily cut out a flower in his hand. Then his eyes became cold and stern, staring at the tiger corpse on the ground. His breath was heavy, and with a low drink, the Mo Dao stabbed forward sharply.
.
He knew that I was not targeting the tiger's body, but that the Mo Dao was stabbing directly towards the bottom of the body.
The surrounding white bones broke and flew away, making a crisp sound of "click, click, click", and the broad blade almost completely penetrated into the humus under the white bones.
However, Wu Shuang didn't know what he felt. He frowned and did not immediately turn the tiger corpse over as I asked. He hesitated for a moment, took a small step back, and pulled out the Mo Dao in one fell swoop.
Poof!!
A burst of bright red blood immediately spattered out, like an arrow from the string. Wushuang immediately turned his head to avoid it. However, after the blood arrow passed, the mist of blood was like the lingering drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, falling down freely.
It streaked across Wushuang's fair face, leaving several shocking blood stains on it.
I was about to remind him that the blood was strange, but Wushuang shook his head slightly, wiped the blood off his face with his fingers, paused, and said in a deep voice: "The blood is hot."
A living thing?
I frowned and stared at the bottom of the tiger corpse. The place where Wu Shuang had stabbed me with Mo Dao was seeing blood pouring out continuously. In the cold and smelly environment, after the blood spread out, it suddenly surged out.
A white mist of heat arose, and eventually spread rapidly in the humus, and penetrated into some of the weathered white bones on the surface, leaving only their shapes, so that a strange dark red color appeared on these white bones, which was indescribable.
If I were not 100% sure that these were the bones left by some creatures that had been dead for many years, I would have thought that these bones were evil.
Before I could react again, for a moment, I clearly felt the humus beneath my feet squirming.
It was like something was twitching under the soil. It was very slight, but I still felt it.
"cut!!"
Wushuang, who had been observing the tiger corpse, suddenly rose up without any warning. With a sharp shout, the Mo Dao in his hand stabbed out like lightning and penetrated into the humus under the tiger corpse again. Then he held the Mo Dao in one hand and exerted force to kill the tiger corpse.
The tiger corpse jumped up with a bang.
White bones and dirty soil were flying everywhere. The moment the tiger corpse was picked up, I could clearly see that countless blood vessels had spread out on the tiger corpse.
To be precise, those blood vessels were protruded from the ground and connected to the tiger corpse. The blood vessels were like the infusion tubes used for hanging bottles in the hospital. They were extremely willful. After Wushuang picked up the tiger corpse, it actually pulled
It has grown a lot and is squirming freely. It is actually sucking things from the tiger carcass.
There are too many, densely packed, almost one after another.
We have never seen such a weird and infiltrating evil scene. Lao Bai was so shocked that he exclaimed "Oh my God". Wu Shuang was probably also frightened. After several provocations, he found that he could not pull those blood vessels out of the ground.
After coming out, Mo Dao swept back and forth, cutting off the blood vessels in an instant!!
In an instant, every blood vessel turned into a water gun, probably due to the excessive pressure that caused the blood to splash out. After Wushuang flew the tiger corpse away and cut off the blood vessels, these blood vessels did not fall limply to the ground.
, still maintaining an upright position, blood and water splashed outward crazily. After countless blood vessels gathered together, it looked like a fountain spewing blood and water.
Several of us were unable to dodge, and a lot of blood fell on us in a short time.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long, only a few seconds. The countless blood vessels that had stood upright fell back to the ground, no longer showing a bright red color, but a milky white color. They quickly shriveled up, but the severed places were still there.
It's just bleeding out.
Lao Bai knelt down and observed for a moment, his throat surged a few times, and he suddenly said: "I swear, I will never have a heart tube again in my life."
I felt that this guy was sent by God to punish us. I didn't think it was anything at first, but after he said that, I felt a little disgusted. It was so similar.
As an indispensable part of Northeastern barbecue, after coming here, we ate a lot...
Wushuang is really a bit of a tiger. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and grabbed the milky white tubes with his hands. I didn't have time to stop him, so I tried my best to pull them out. It looked like he wanted to directly pull them out.
It's like pulling the things connected to these blood vessels out of the ground.
Fortunately, after the blood was drained, these blood vessels seemed to have lost their vitality, but they no longer showed any evil signs.
Wushuang pulled the tubes and took several steps back. His delicate face turned slightly red. For him to be like this, one can imagine the toughness of these tubes.
It was probably collapsed to the limit, and with a series of "crack, bang, bang, bang" sounds, the tubes broke, and Wushuang was knocked to the ground.
From the beginning to the end, nothing was pulled out from the ground, only seven or eight meters of pipes were pulled out by Wushuang.
After waiting for a while, I saw nothing strange and didn't cause any danger, so I squatted down and looked at these things carefully.
No matter the texture or color, it does look very similar to some kind of heart tube and yellow throat.
Blood is also hot.
"Is that thing really alive?"
"Well, it seems that it uses these tubes to absorb nutrients from the corpse. The source of these tubes is in that evil thing. Are they considered its organs? Damn it, I have never heard of such an evil thing.
"
"Based on what we know so far, the number of these tubes is quite a few, and can even be said to be huge. Lao Shen said that it is omnipresent and controls everything here. It seems that it relies on these tubes to control it?"
"..."
Many thoughts flashed through my mind one by one.
"Jingzhe, don't just look at those disgusting things. Get up and take a closer look around. Something's not right here!"
Brother Yaozi's voice suddenly came from the side.
Seeing his serious expression, I turned my attention away. I stood up and looked around carefully. I vaguely understood what he was talking about and asked, "Here...are they all human bones?"
There are bones everywhere in the grass, but most of them are bones left by some birds and animals in the mountains. There are also human bones, but they are very rare, less than one ten thousandth. They are found in all periods, and some have no internal organs, flesh or blood.
There is only a layer of dry skin and bones left. It can be seen that these people have no obvious fatal injuries. They should be like the birds and animals that died here. They passed by here when they died and were attracted in for some reason.
After death, the body becomes nourishment.
But the place we are in is completely different. It is densely packed with bones, almost all of which are human bones. They are stacked on top of each other and spread into the distance. There is no end in sight, but by visual inspection, there are probably at least thousands of human bones!
This...is a mass grave!!
My attention has been focused on the tiger's carcass before, and I have seen too many dead bones along the way. I have become a little numb to it. If Brother Yaozi hadn't reminded me, I didn't even notice that the white bones here were strange!
!
Brother Yaozi said: "It's not just human bones. Have you noticed that there are no skulls here at all! There is not a single skull. In other words, these people are not like the birds, beasts and dead people we saw before. They did not die.
They were attracted here for some reason, and they were killed artificially!"
I immediately understood the implication of his words: "Lao Shen said that in the early days, although medicinal herbs were everywhere here, it was not as evil as it is now. Until someone built a huge stone temple here, and then the unknown
The evil thing appeared.
A stone temple, my understanding is, a place of worship.
Are these headless bones left behind by people who were originally used as sacrifices? Are they the origin of that evil thing?"
Brother Yaozi nodded slightly and agreed with my statement.
I looked at the time, it was already around five o'clock, and I was very, very close to the woods. It was dark there and nothing could be seen. It was as if something had blocked our sight. There was no obvious change.
, in my understanding, since that evil thing is closely related to everything here, if it is obviously weak, there must be something happening here. Since everything is as usual, it means that the so-called window period has not arrived at all.
Or because of the arrival of a few of us, the window period will not come.
After thinking about it, I said: "Let's take a look around separately. Don't spread too far. Search carefully. Since it is a mass grave and many people were executed in the past, there will always be some clues left behind.
Let’s see if we can find some clues to confirm the identity of these executed people, and maybe also confirm who built the stone temple inside, this will be helpful to us!”
The crowd immediately dispersed.
Facts have proved that my guess was completely correct. In a mass grave of thousands of people, it is impossible for every person who was killed to be searched cleanly, and not a single piece of clothing or jewelry could be saved.
It didn’t take long for Lao Bai to find what we were looking for!!
