Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 16 Zongzi?

In the dark cave, the dense blue light spots in the distance are particularly eye-catching.To be honest, the scene in front of me feels like a starry river in the night sky, but when I think about the "ghost lantern" that Su Heluo said just now, I no longer have the mood to appreciate it.

I lightly touched Xinran beside me, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what a ghost lantern is?"

Xin Ran took two steps towards me and explained: "Actually, it's a kind of flying insect, but this kind of insect only eats the dead, and you don't usually see it. Like some dead man's cave, mass burial mound, or sacrificial pit. There might be something like this."

"Then why is it called a ghost lantern? It doesn't look like a lantern at all, but it looks a bit like a firefly."

The bugs in the distance look like small light spots, and they don't look very big. The name ghost lantern doesn't sound right at all.

Xin Ran said: "Because they are particularly sensitive to light. It is rumored that someone once walked through the cemetery with a lamp and encountered this thing. The light attracted them. After a while, the person was gnawed into bones, and the lamp he was carrying was on the ground. Also surrounded by these bugs, the faint blue light looks like a ghost lantern, hence the name."

Listening to Xinran's explanation, I immediately understood why Elder Qi made us go out, and it's no wonder Su Heluo's reaction was so strong just now.

At this moment, a few people seem to be looking for something in the bag. I can't see anything in the dark, but I can hear the sound of bags and things colliding around me.

"If there are really many corpses ahead, will there be corpses or something?" The unknown things ahead make me a little nervous, so it's always good to ask clearly.

After listening to my words, Xin Ran burst out laughing, patted me, and said with a smile: "Have you read too many tomb robbery novels, where did you find such a corpse?"

When I heard that there were no dead turtles or anything, I breathed a sigh of relief.

But she followed up and said: "But don't be careless, this ghost lantern can also bite people, so be careful for a while."

As soon as Xin Ran finished speaking, Elder Qi suddenly said: "Wait a while and put a cold light stick in front, everyone quickly pass."

After finishing speaking, a faint white light suddenly lit up in front of him. Mr. Qi held a few cylindrical objects in his hands, which looked a bit like LED light tubes, but the brightness was obviously much weaker.Zhao Longyu also walked to Mr. Qi from behind, took a few cold light sticks, followed Mr. Qi forward quickly, and waved for us to follow.

I followed closely behind Xin, trotting forward quickly.Less than ten meters away from the group of ghost lanterns, Qi Lao and Zhao Longyu threw several cold light sticks towards the right side of the cave wall, and the light instantly attracted them.

Then we quickly ran all the way against the rock wall on the left. I only remember that when we ran past the position of the cold light stick, it was already surrounded by blue light.

This section of the road is particularly difficult to walk. The road surface is sometimes soft and sometimes hard. When walking, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. Every step has a different feeling. Sometimes it seems to be stepping on something soft. From time to time there will be the sound of bones shattering and metal clashing.As for what is under our feet, we have no time to take care of it.The cold light stick just now did attract a lot of ghost lanterns, but we could still see some flying blue lights along the way, so we could only move forward quickly in the dark.

I also tripped and tripped once in the middle, and touched it with my hand, it seemed to be a big bone, and I was so scared that I threw it away.

In the dark, I have no concept of time at all. I just keep following the voice in front of me. It feels like I’ve been walking for a long time. I am all real.

"Ah!" There was a loud shout in front of me, I stopped subconsciously, and the voice seemed to be Su Heluo.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Longyu asked.

"My leg seems to be pierced by something...it seems to be...a long strip...it's a sword." Su Heluo's painful cry came from the front.

Now there is no way to light up to check the situation. Once the flashlight is turned on, the scattered ghost lanterns around will be attracted immediately.I heard the sound of walking in front of him, thinking that Xinran, who was walking behind him, was going to help, so I also followed two steps forward.

Xin Ran suddenly asked: "What's wrong?"

I thought Xinran was asking Su Heluo, so I didn't answer.

Xin Ran said again: "Huang Li?"

"Ah? What's the matter?" She suddenly called my name, which made me very confused.

"Why are you filming me?"

Hearing what she said, I immediately got goosebumps all over my body. When did I take pictures of her?

"I do not have it……"

At this time, I couldn't care about so much anymore, I just took out the flashlight from my pocket, lit it and pointed it forward.

Behind Xinran on the right stands a thing that I'm not sure if it can be called a human being.It was wearing a tattered old armor, completely naked, its face looked like a piece of dried old bacon from the side, the right shoulder seemed to be cut off by the root, and the only remaining left arm At the moment it is resting on Xinran's right shoulder.

The sudden light caused the people in front of them to turn their heads quickly. After seeing this scene, Su Heluo directly said "Fuck", pulled out the sword on his leg, got up from the ground, and limped. run forward.

When Xin Ran turned around, she happened to meet that thing face to face, and was stunned for a while.

Everything happens in an instant.

It stands to reason that I should have been scared to death when I first saw this scene.But at that moment, I hardly thought about it, and I didn't know where the courage came from. I just threw away the flashlight, put the backpack in front of my right shoulder, and slammed into the thing.

My charged impact directly pushed the thing out. Seeing that the blow worked, I pulled it up and ran forward happily.Borrowing the light of the flashlight, we ran all the way to Mr. Qi before stopping. When we looked back, there was a cloud of blue light around the flashlight, and the thing I knocked down just stood up again and moved towards us. Come here.

Under the faint light, that thing is approaching us step by step. Its movements are very slow. Every time it falls, there will be the sound of armor blades colliding on its body, which sounds extremely scary.

After I regained my senses, I looked at the inhuman thing in the distance, and my body trembled uncontrollably.Thinking about the actions just now, I feel even more afraid in my heart.I never thought that such a thing would actually exist in the world. At the moment, all I can think of are words such as zombies and zongzi.

"Back off!"

Zhao Longyu's voice came from beside him.

Holding a soil gun, he came in front of me and Xinran, then bowed, pointed the gun at the thing, and only waited for it to approach before shooting.

About a few meters away from the thing, Zhao Longyu pulled the trigger, and with a loud noise, flames shot out, and the thing was sprayed out by a shot, and fell to the ground without moving.

"died?"

As soon as I said this, I immediately felt a little strange. That thing may not be alive in the first place, or it may be in a special state between dead and alive, but anyway, the appearance of this thing is definitely against the laws of nature .

The next second, the thing actually stood up again, but a large piece of the armor page on its chest had already fallen off.

"Old man, how do you fix it? This thing can't be killed!"

Seeing that he couldn't be killed with a gun, Zhao Longyu also made a mistake, staring at the monster approaching us again, and shouted.
