Chapter 304 Blood Drops in the Midnight

There were twelve people in the whole team when they entered the mountain, but now there are only nine left.

What Brother Sun meant was to rest and bandage at the same place while waiting for others, and everyone did exactly that. It's a pity that after more than half an hour, the rain stopped, and Sting Tou and Shijiu still didn't come back.

"...This mountain is more evil than I imagined. Boss, should we go back first and make more preparations before coming back?" Yin Zi retreated a little, and Finley glared at him, the impatience in his eyes was about to overflow.

Finley sarcastically said, "How else can you prepare? Why don't you drive a tank to level the mountain? It's the safest way!"

This is a daily quarrel in the team. Whenever they go to the tomb, some people hesitate, and in the end they go with them.

"What kind of vine is this, has anyone seen it before?" Sun Ge asked.

"I don't know. I have encountered vines with suckers that can suck blood in the tomb of King Kong Zhong before, but it is different from this one." Scar pointed to the ferocious and restless vines in the hole, "This thing is like a snake. You see, it will still stand like this."

Yu Xing looked along his fingers. Indeed, the snake-like attack method made the vines look even weirder. Suddenly, he remembered the milky white bone that he brought out in his pocket.

He observed carefully for a while amidst the chattering discussions among the crowd, and finally found out with great interest that this thing——is really a bone!
Ever seen a vine with long bones?See you today.

Holding the bone thinner than his little finger, Yu Xing recalled the fracture he had glimpsed when he cut off the vine. After the bone fell out, it seemed like a cavity inside.

He threw the bone to Scar and signaled him to pass it around: "The inside of this vine is like a section of independent cavity, with plant flesh under the skin and bone under the flesh. There are some nerves in the flesh that connect with the bones. When they When you move, it is this fast bone that supports you."

"Grass, these vines are really going to be fine, they have bones." Luke couldn't help but said, "Why do they have bones?"

Since it was Yu Xing who discovered this, Luke asked Yu Xing habitually.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How would I know? Maybe... there are too many bones buried at their roots, and after being absorbed, the resentment persists, and they grow again through the vine's body?"

"You're telling ghost stories to me here!" Luke felt terrified of thinking about it, regretted asking Yu Xing this question, folded his arms and shut up.

Tsk, tomb robbers are afraid of ghost stories.

Yu Xing is also curious about the cause of vines, but he is not a biologist. There are even ghosts in this world. Is there anything wrong with plants having a little personality?
Just half an hour later, all the vines blocking the entrance of the cave have faded away, and they have turned back to emerald green, clinging to the wall obediently, even wrapping the vines that were cut off by everyone inside. up.

This also proved Yu Xing's idea. He felt that these vines should be sensitive to heat sources, or would be active in an environment with elevated temperatures. Then once the cave cools down, it is not impossible to go in and clean the battlefield. .

He felt that if he had a broom now, he could clean the cave.

"Okay, Shijiu and Sting Tou probably left first, we won't wait." Sun Ge looked at the time, and finally announced the next action in a more tactful way, "Go ahead, pay attention to such things on the road." The cave, and don't forget the poisonous bugs, we'd better get over this mountain before dark."

Everyone echoed, got up from the ground, and stepped on the fallen leaves covering the ground with their boots, making a crisp sound.

Luke was not very emotional, and Aaron, who had the best relationship with him, accompanied him silently, while Dao Scar took the place of Shijiu and walked to Yu Xing's side.

His dagger was always in his hand, because he was the one who carved the marks along the way.

Yu Xing noticed that Scar always opened his mouth slightly when he looked over, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound. After several times, Yu Xing asked, "What do you want to say?"

Scar stroked the stubble, and glanced at his ankle: "It's nothing, I just admire you more and more, you can still tuck your trouser legs so tightly and walk so fast after your ankle is injured, it doesn't seem to hurt. "

Yu Xing thought to himself that this old man was really observant. His legs hadn't fully grown yet, but such a little pain didn't make it show on his face. On the surface, he found an excuse: "I'm just playing. The most injured in extreme sports is the legs, get used to it."

"Hell, you are not in the tomb robbery business. If you specialize in this business, you must be a ruthless person." Speaking of this, Dao Scar even showed a trace of pity, as if he really wanted to persuade Yu Xing to give up painting Throw in the great grave robber cause, but it's clearly out of the question.

Anyway, we have already chatted, and Dao Scar showed full curiosity about Yu Xing himself: "Hey, I heard that the style of your paintings is very weird, like a horror movie?"

Yu Xing: "This adjective was instilled in you by someone with no cultural background."

"Brother Sun said." Dao Scar raised his chin, and Brother Sun happened to take a look this way.

The nine people were close to each other, and they chatted without whispering. In fact, the whole team could hear what the two were talking about.

Yu Xing: "...That's okay, he's right."

"Tsk tsk tsk, did the living vines on this trip give you new creative inspiration?" Scar was unexpectedly interested in this topic, and Yu Xing glanced at him strangely: "Why, do you want to put down the butcher knife and learn to paint with me?" painting?"

"That's impossible." Scar shook his head, and reached out to support Yu Xing: "I think you're being brave, and want to talk a few words to divert your attention."

Yu Xing: Come on, the strange carefulness of the hunk--it's a pity that he doesn't need it.

There were no more moths along the way, but the number of big gray worms and vines inhabiting the small caves obviously increased. Everyone tried their best to avoid them, and finally climbed over the mountain after the sun set. .

They came to a quiet valley.

The air in the valley became more humid, and with the disappearance of the sun, there were bursts of fine coldness, which burrowed into everyone's clothes like maggots attached to the bones.

The surrounding area is quiet. There are fewer trees than on the mountain, but there are many more shrubs. There are also some plants with large leaves blooming, which appear to be full of vitality.

"This is a good place to camp." Finley observed the terrain and waved his hand in a relatively flat leeward place. The team immediately got busy, took out the tents they were carrying, and went to prop up the tents and set up tents.

Yu Xing's tent is a small one-person tent, and Scar has already set up his tent without his hands. In this regard, Yu Xing is very satisfied with his identity as a painter, and he is lazy if he wants to.

After that, they ate a meal of canned food and compressed dry food together, chatted casually, and Yu Xing went back to the tent to rest early.

Although Brother Sun and Scar of this team can get some equipment that needs access, but in his opinion, the financial resources are still a bit short, the tent is not strong enough, and the food is not good enough.

In terms of reaction ability, the level of the team members is uneven, let alone temples and tombs. Even if these people are taken to Coffin Village, they may not all survive.

If something happens, it will hold him back.

Yu Xingqing Mimi is thinking about changing teams.

Since Shijiu can leave temporarily, it means that there is at least one team nearby, right?

Of course, he just thought about it casually and was mentally prepared to react as quickly as possible when he had to leave.

It was getting dark, and his intuition told him that this valley, which had no name on the map, would not be a harmless place. The humidity alone would give birth to many strange animals and plants.

Half of his body was stuffed in his sleeping bag, waiting for the second wave of background release from the system. During the boring waiting time, he silently listed all the information he had in his mind.

about the cemetery.

What the group of tomb robbers, as well as the investment bosses who may exist behind them, are pursuing is the resurrection technique researched by the Yaodao.

Judging from the ancestral hall in Coffin Village, the existence of the black coffin will gradually affect the entire area, allowing people who have died to regain consciousness and mobility—or in fact, only consciousness.

Because when he left when he looked back, Coffin Village was located in a wasteland overgrown with weeds, and there was no village at all. It was hard to say where everything they experienced was real, where it was an illusion, and where it was a special domain created by ghosts.

In any case, there must be many things that can create hallucinations in the temple tomb. Illusion will be an important and terrifying element in the tomb like corpses, ghosts, and organs.

Then there are the corpses. Unlike ordinary corpses, the black ancestral hall endows the corpses in the coffin village with many characteristics that should not be possessed, even including "breeding offspring" that living people can do.

This is proof that the corpse truly has the quality of being alive.

Another point is that the living corpse is very aggressive. He has not forgotten that night, the two villagers who were chasing behind Ju Lan with axes and knives, and knocking on his door in the middle of the night, put their eyes into the gap Peeping at his village chief's wife.During the day, these "people" just chatted a little weirdly, but at night they seemed to be irrepressible, showing ghostly faces.

From Coffin Village's experience, Yu Xing can still pick out some clues, such as resurrection requires a black coffin, the existence of candles is very important, and living corpses have an almost paranoid enthusiasm for the replacement of leaders. They ushered in Zhou Qinghai The scene of dragging Zhou Facai away was still vivid in Yu Xing's memory. He wondered if Zhou Facai was still buried under the big pagoda tree.

Hallucinations, zombies, candles and candlesticks, leaders...

Yu Xing intentionally pieced together these clues, but after all, he failed because they were too fragmented.

But he sorted it out anyway, and his sense of the tomb became much clearer.

It didn't take long before the system prompted to arrive on time. The background this time seemed to be the continuation of the previous one, and it could be picked up directly.

[Before departure, you received an invitation from your friend Carlos. Since you often chat in the WeChat group, he also knows about your joining the investigation studio.He appreciates your ability very much, and hopes that you can go to the tomb with his team, but you have negotiated the price with Sun Ge at that time, pretending to be a horror painter who is a little interested in the tomb, and you are ready to go with Sun Ge let's go. 】

Yu Xing: "?"

Sure enough, there was something about Carlos in it, but Yu Xing couldn't figure it out, why did he reject Carlos?
San is so stupid, if it were him, he would rebel directly regardless of how much money Brother Sun paid him. At such a young age, San has such a strong sense of responsibility, no wonder he is still trapped in family struggles.

As far as Carlos's paper doll ability is concerned, it is a pathfinding artifact in the tomb. I don't know how many times more reliable than these people in Sun Ge's team. Isn't it good to cooperate with Carlos?
But thinking that Carlos would not help him carry supplies and set up a tent, Yu Xing was relieved.

Okay.

[Carlos did not give up, and revealed to you some information he has, such as the legend about the demon way. He has a more accurate version. He also said that he connected with the team that was looking for black temples around the world. That team There is a more accurate guess about the structure of the tomb to attract you. 】

[You didn’t agree, nor did you refuse. You learned from Carlos that their team was leaving three days earlier than Brother Sun, so you replied to Carlos and said, see you at the tomb. If the goals of the two parties do not conflict, you can find Opportunity to break away from Brother Sun's team and round with him. 】

[Carlos heard the words, and secretly told you jokingly, be careful of bugs, vines, dead people and flowers around the tomb.He is unwilling to disclose more content, presumably he uses the information in his hand as a bargaining chip to attract you to join. 】

This is the end of the new information, Yu Xing: "..."

The system is really bad, can't the reminder about bugs, vines, dead people and flowers be told in the background for the first time?

He rubbed his temples, the big gray worm and the vines had already appeared, the former killed Ade, the latter injured the whole team and disappeared two people, what are the dead people and flowers behind?
It sounds quite interesting, I really want to see it soon...

The wind outside the tent was getting stronger and stronger, and Yu Xing gradually felt tired. It took a lot of energy to toss and turn this day.

He burrowed into the sleeping bag with vigilance that he had never let go, planning to rest early, he had heard from Scar that he had to set off at dawn tomorrow.

But I don't know whether he was lucky or not, just when he was about to fall asleep, there was a slight and disorderly sound of footsteps outside his tent.

Yu Xing, who was still asleep, woke up immediately. He squinted his eyes and looked out, and saw a strange figure shining through the moonlight, leaving a deformed shadow on his tent.

It was a tall and thin figure who seemed to be holding something in his hand. He stopped outside Yu Xing's tent and just stood there.

May I ask, what is the experience of waking up and a silent person standing outside the tent?
interesting!

Yu Xing only had this one answer. He took the dagger next to the sleeping bag, pinched the zipper of the tent with his left hand, and pulled it up without hesitation.

The zipper made a buzzing sound, which seemed to startle the people outside. As soon as Yu Xing opened the tent, he found that the person had disappeared.

He probed out, and there was silence all around. The tents of the other team members stayed in place, and no one came out.

What about people?Hide behind a bush?

Yu Xing hesitated for a moment between sleeping and going out to find someone, and the other party made the choice for him.

A drop of blood dripped onto Yu Xing's head. At the same time, a metal plate fell from Yu Xing's side. Yu Xing's eyes adapted to the light. Using the bright moonlight, he could see the contents of the sign clearly in an instant.

It was a name tag, and it was printed on it: thorn head.
