Indiana Jones

Chapter 403: Ghostly Vision (06)

None of them could tell what material the steps were made of. It was neither wood nor stone. It was certain that they were very hard, so there was no need to worry about them collapsing.

The steps are wider than what they saw below. At least six horses can go up and down. There is a special horse path on one side, and the railings are made of the same material as the steps. They are very strong. There is a platform as a buffer, each platform has a size of [-] square meters, and the repair is very elegant. The steps and railings are covered with gray and white vines, which are not the ones they have seen outside, and they seem to be old. Some of them are dead, but they are full of toughness and can't be pulled or cut. A large number of them are crawling everywhere. They look like dead snakes. They are very disgusting. There are a lot of messy footprints on the steps and platforms. It was left by the group of devils who just passed through, but the strange thing is that they found a few footprints of their own people, which were very light and incomplete, and seemed to follow these devils up. Not a few people.

With these steps, it is not difficult to climb the tree, and they dare not turn on the lights. The light here is dim, but it is not invisible. In order to prevent being discovered by the devils, they chose to move forward in the dark, so as to protect themselves from being attacked to the greatest extent. Find out, and try to give a surprise attack to the enemies above.

A few people did not speak, and walked up cautiously all the way. The tree was really too big. It took more than ten minutes to walk along the steps without making a circle. The wood of the trunk was hard, showing a dark blood color faintly. , I don’t know if it’s the color of the tree itself or because the roots have just sucked the blood of those corpses, but for such a thick and big tree, that little blood is really nothing. With the blood of thousands of people, they really couldn't figure out whether it was a tree or a monster.

There was no accident on this step, and no mechanism was encountered, but Lin Feng said that there must be something strange in the trunk, but he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, and of course, they didn't have time to stop and study , it is not safe to be on this step. If the enemy finds it blocking here, it is almost like letting the meat on the chopping board be slaughtered. No matter what is on it, you have to go up first to find out. Besides, there may be little devils behind , they cannot fall to the point where they are attacked from behind.

After climbing up, they didn't know how long it took before a bigger platform appeared in front of them. The platform was filled with coffins of unknown material, there were dozens of them, all of which were arranged in a fan shape around the tree trunk. When it was opened, the coffin lids were thrown all over the floor, many of them were broken and messy everywhere, but without exception, the coffins were all empty.

"Some have just been opened, and some have been opened for a long time." Lin Feng said.

"Is it dead?" Tan Lin said.

Si Xuanyi shook his head: "It's impossible that there will be no dregs left, even the bones in the ditch below have not rotted away. Why is the one in this coffin so special? And there is nothing left?"

"Even if it was dragged out by the person who opened the coffin, you have to look for some traces?" Zhang Daigua said, "Could it be thrown from this column?"

"Nonsense, we didn't see it when we were down there, so we can't throw them all into the ditch, right? That's not something that ordinary people can do. Even if a little devil can be so boring, the bones inside those that were opened in the early years What? People before are so boring? What's the point? It's purely for fun?" Lin Feng felt that this was impossible.

"That doesn't mean it was empty at first, right? It's not easy to transport this thing up, and it seems impossible to leave it here idle?" Zhang Duogua looked at the remaining unopened coffins.

"There's no need to open it." Lin Feng saw what he was thinking, reached into a coffin, and touched the bottom, "There must have been something here before, but it was taken out later, from the footprints on the ground It seems that a small part of it was done by devils, but where did the things in this coffin go?"

"Do you think it will contain something very important?" Si Xuanyi asked.

Lin Feng shook his head, not sure whether he was denying or expressing that he didn't know.

"There's a switch on it..." Zhang Daogua found a button beside a coffin, and pressed it while talking, Lin Feng didn't even have a chance to stop it.

What was unexpected was that the observation was suddenly shaken, as if he had been bumped violently by someone, and Zhang Duo jumped in fright, he quickly stepped back and picked up the gun, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Can your hands not be so handy?" Lin Feng was so frightened that his forehead was covered with sweat.

"What's the matter? This shouldn't be some mechanism, or, how could it be pressed on the coffin?" Zhang Duogua is not an idiot, he can still figure out this simple truth.

"How do you know that there is nothing wrong with the coffin?" Lin Feng pulled him aside and found a crack in the coffin, and a black hand stretched out from the gap.

When the fisherman saw it, his expression changed and he immediately stopped everyone: "The corpse has changed, don't approach it."

"Damn it, what the hell is this?" Tan Lin backed up a little anxiously, touching the wound, the pain made him almost lose his breath.

"Boom..." The coffin board was suddenly knocked into the air, spinning in mid-air, and slammed into a tree trunk not far away. It was smashed to pieces with a loud noise. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone, otherwise it would have been like this One hit is enough to crush a person.

As the smoke and dust drifted away, a black figure jumped up from the coffin and squatted beside the coffin. It was small and skinny, exactly the same as the one they had seen before.

"Damn... I finally know where that mummy came from." Tan Lin subconsciously went to take out the gun, but as soon as his arm moved, the wound hurt so much that his eyes turned black, Si Xuanyi stopped him and pulled him behind him, "Don't rush to shoot."

Lin Feng had already drawn out his knife to confront the thing. Obviously, the mummy still couldn't understand the situation, and squatted there blankly facing them, motionless, like a statue that suddenly appeared. If these coffins were originally filled with this thing, Then they know why the coffin is empty without others explaining.

"What should I do?" Zhang Daigua whispered to the fisherman behind him.

"Cold salad, how the hell do I know?" the fisherman scolded angrily.

"Whoosh..." Right here, the thing suddenly leaped high and rushed towards Lin Feng who was closest to it. Its body began to change rapidly in the air. The mouth, where the chin was no longer visible, seemed to spread even bigger, like a huge rag that rushed towards Lin Feng from top to bottom...

Lin Feng moved extremely sensitively and dodged it with a short body, and slashed the back of the thing's head with his backhand. With his strength and the sharpness of the knife, he didn't break the flesh of the thing, but smashed the thing to the ground like a stick .

As soon as the thing landed on the ground, it bounced up for the second time and rushed towards Zhang Duogua who was closest to him. This kid was completely unprepared. He wanted to run at first, but the thing was too fast to give him a chance, and neither With Lin Feng's skill, he just stretched out his hand to block it before being thrown on him, and at the same time began to shrink rapidly trying to wrap it in...

"Help..." Zhang Daogua rolled on the ground and struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of the thing no matter what.

Lin Feng stepped up and kicked the thing on the head. In the confusion, they heard a crisp sound of bones breaking. Picked it out from Zhang Duogua, but he didn't move it after two times in a row. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough. At the same time, he used his hands to pull the thing in two directions to fly it away.

The black mummy fluttered in the air and landed lightly on the railing at the edge of the platform, soundlessly like a fallen leaf. Lin Feng turned over and stood up and quickly backed away. The thing was not rushing up. Only then did they realize that the thing's head had been hitched. In front of the chest, it seemed that the neck was interrupted by Lin Feng. Before everyone could catch their breath, the thing suddenly jumped up again...

"Fuck...it's still here..." Zhang Duogua scrambled and fled back.

At this moment, something flew over and hit the mummy, and the huge impact force knocked it out involuntarily. It turned out that the fisherman picked up half of the broken coffin lid and threw it over. The coffin board flew out with the mummy and fell off the platform together...

It happened so suddenly that everyone was fighting that thing almost by instinct. If it wasn't for Lin Feng and the fisherman, they might not be able to deal with it. All this happened within a few seconds, and the winner was decided almost instantly. It wasn't them The psychological quality is too good, but they don't have time to be afraid at all. They didn't react until the thing was blown out.

"This should be the place where the corpses are raised, hurry up." The fisherman found that the coffins were all connected to the tree trunks by the red root-like things, and there seemed to be something strange, so he immediately called everyone to leave.

Just now Zhang Duogua was kicked by Lin Feng and almost lost his temper, but he didn't have any temper at all. If it wasn't for this kick, he would have been controlled by that thing now, it was just the brief touch on him just now He has been pierced with countless blood holes, but thanks to Lin Feng's quick reaction, these blood holes are very shallow, and the positions of those blood holes are all close to his spine and the back of his head. If Lin Feng was a little slower, he would probably be finished up.

But before they could move, a caracal sound suddenly came from the coffin. It seemed that the organs were opening one by one, and the coffin also began to make creaking noises.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Feng's face changed instantly: "Go, go quickly."

"Fuck, I only pressed one, why do I have to come out?" Zhang Duoguazi was frightened out of his wits, and was the first to rush to the stairs closest to him, but he regretted it when he ran up the stairs. Why didn't you rush down the stairs, at least there is still a way to survive if you go down, you don't know anything about the situation above, if you can't get through, it will be troublesome to start?But he was not given a second chance at all, and the coffins that were still sealed had begun to shake, as if the things inside were trying to break free from the cage and escape.

Everyone rushed up the stairs, all the way up, and there were loud bangs and bangs behind them, as if something inside was hitting the coffin vigorously, or it seemed that the thing had lifted the coffin lid and jumped out .

They can only go up along these steps, for fear of being overtaken by the things behind them, no matter whether there are any traps or not, they don't care about this at all, but they are lucky, there is no accident, it's just this panic It is inevitable to stumble and stumble. Although a fall on this staircase is not fatal, it will still bleed, especially the wounded Tan Lin, who was exhausted due to the pain of the injury. How could she endure such a tossing? It's not easy to persevere. It didn't take long before I was so tired that my face was pale and my legs were trembling. I couldn't move my feet. The others were not much better. Their physical strength had been exhausted when they were in the trap in the cave. It's almost the same, and he hasn't recovered along the way, and he can't stand the violent toss of Jundong at all. It is not easy to persist in such a high-intensity run until now.

"Rest... Take a break." Si Xuanyi couldn't stand it any longer, so he called the others to stop.

In fact, except for Lin Feng, everyone was very tired, and it was not easy to persevere until now.

"This...tree...how...he...damn...how... tall?" Zhang Duogua was so tired that he was out of breath, lying on the stairs and could no longer get up.

"Yeah...we...we have been running for...why haven't we reached the top yet?" Si Xuanyi also felt strange.

"It's actually not far." Li Feng leaned on the railing and looked down. The distance from the platform just now to their current position is only three or four circles of steps, but the tree is so thick that they couldn't understand it at all. How can there be such a big tree in the world.

"Sure enough, they all came out..." The fisherman also lay down on the railing and looked down. The platform was full of moving corpses, wandering around like ghosts.

"Fortunately, we weren't spotted." Lin Feng said, "otherwise we wouldn't be able to get rid of it at this speed."

"Well, how high is...?" Tan Lin asked with a pale face.

"We've only climbed halfway." Lin Feng looked up, "I couldn't even see the top, I thought we were making fast progress, but now it seems that's not the case, we felt close to halfway before." I'm afraid the distance is only a little more than one-third, this tree is ridiculously big."

"Let's... hurry up." The fisherman reluctantly stood up.

"I'm so tired...I'm dying, I really don't want to take a step." Zhang Daigua said.

"Those things come up." The fisherman pointed down feebly, and moved his feet with difficulty to climb up.

"What?" Si Xuanyi took a look over and almost fainted from fright. Those mummified corpses were climbing up the tree trunk, not the steps. Judging by the speed of that thing, it wouldn't take long to catch up with them.

"Damn it, I thought I got rid of it..." Lin Feng cursed, obviously, he was very afraid of those things, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"If you can't, just fight..." Tan Lin couldn't move a step.

"Don't pretend to be a fucking bear, get up for me..." Si Xuanyi went to pull his arm, but he couldn't do it at all. It was only when Lin Feng came back and lifted him up that he managed to move on. No need to think about it Knowing that at the speed of that thing, it won't take long to chase them...
