Chapter 63 The White-haired Old Thief (3)

Right now we only have one lighter in our hands, and my torch was gone when it fell into the water. Only Brother Wei still has two wet torches in his hand.

It is impossible for the wood to burn again when it is exposed to water, but the torch has an oily primer. At this moment, the mice suddenly stopped, not knowing what plans they were making, which made the three of us unable to retreat and dare not enter.

Looking at the torch in Brother Wei's hand, I thought about it.

This torch has an oil starter, and even though it has been exposed to water, it can still be ignited, but only for two or three seconds at most.

For these two or three seconds, something is better than nothing. I lit the torch and threw it as a burning stick, so I could see the situation of the mouse on the other side.As soon as I said my thoughts, Brother Wei and the two immediately nodded in agreement. Dang even lit the torch, and the moment the torch was lit, he threw it towards the rat group opposite.

There were very few oil primers left on the torch, and within two seconds of throwing it over, it went out all of a sudden.

However, it was just these two seconds of light that made the three of us see a very horrifying scene.

I saw that the densely packed group of rats had already climbed onto the stone wall of the cave at some point, so the middle path was given up.Before the light from the lighter was too weak, we couldn't see the scene on the road clearly, and we could only see the square in front of us. Now, with the brief light of the torch, we suddenly saw that in the middle of the road, there was a people!

To be exact, it was a black mummy lying on its stomach!
When the fire shone through, the body of the mummy looked greasy. It landed on all fours, like an animal, and slowly crawled forward. It crawled silently, and it was less than five meters away from us, but we had never seen it before. Find!
On the body of this mummy, there was a child-like, white thing squatting, although I didn't see it clearly just now, but no accident, it is most likely the white-haired old thief that Brother Wei and his wife said!

This mummy has been kept in the cave for so many years, so why is it a fraud now?
Or is it that old white-haired thief who is causing trouble?
It was only five or six meters away from us, and it really scared me, so I took a step back subconsciously.The road under our feet is built along the water-logged cave wall, and leads directly to the mouse cave on the opposite side. It should have been a mine before, but our side has not been developed, so it is a dead end.

As soon as I retreated like this, I squeezed into the doctor behind me. The doctor was caught off guard and was pushed back by me, falling directly into the water.

With the sound of plopping into the water, I yelled badly. Fortunately, the only lighter was handed over to Brother Wei when the torch was lit just now, and it is still on at the moment. In the water, that is really imminent death.

At this moment, I didn't care about the doctor who fell into the water, and immediately shouted to Brother Wei: "Light the torch and throw that mummy!" Brother Wei still had the only torch left in his hand, and the man carrying the old white-haired thief The mummy is already very close to us, and the peculiar stench of the mummy is clearly audible, making it almost nauseating.

Brother Wei reacted quickly, immediately lit the torch in his hand, and threw the torch in the exact direction of the mummy according to the position he saw before.

The bright light of the torch only lasts for a moment, but this moment is enough. The body of the mummy is covered with corpse oil. Brother Wei threw the torch on the body of the mummy without any mistakes. When the corpse oil arrived, the flames instantly exploded, and the whole lying mummy was instantly ignited.

The cave became brighter than ever before.

In the blazing flames, the white-haired old thief let out a squeak, and his fat body suddenly jumped up from the mummy, and retreated into the darkness all of a sudden, where he could not be seen for a while.

"Oops." Brother Wei exclaimed hoarsely.

I saw the mummified corpse wrapped in flames, which didn’t stop at all, and was still crawling towards our position. Only then did I realize that this corpse was not a living person. The living person was on fire, and immediately screamed and screamed. , Rolling all over the ground, but the corpse is unconscious, and whether there is fire on the body has no effect on it.

Until those flames had burned most of its sinews, the corpse would have remained the same.

The stench of the corpse in the cave has been replaced by a burnt smell. In the darkness, an extremely sharp mouse cry was heard, as if it was dying. Together with the sound, the burning corpse suddenly slammed He rushed towards Brother Wei and me.

The flames are coming, Brother Wei and I have no way out, the doctor in the water yelled: "Get into the water!"

Where did he need to remind me, Brother Wei and I turned around and jumped into the water the moment the mummy rushed over.

In the splash of water, the mummy flew into the air. Fortunately, the corpse could not swim, so it did not chase into the water, but watched from the passage above.

The three of us stayed in the water, the stagnant water was extremely cold, and our tense muscles felt like they were going to cramp when they were stimulated by the cold water.At this moment, there is no need to use a lighter, the light from the burning corpse can also allow us to clearly see the environment in the cave.

Right in front of us is a road dug along the cave. At this moment, on that road, besides this burning corpse, there are several other corpses of the same kind behind, and those densely packed rats surround the corpse or above the cave. .

The white-haired old thief retreated to the back, and with the firelight, one can clearly see that the white-haired old thief is fat, and the white hair all over his body is very beautiful and clean, with a mouse face, like a human, showing Put on a serious expression.

When this kind of expression appears on the face of a mouse, it will have a rather weird feeling. Its eyes are red, like two rubies, and its appearance does not look very evil, but rather beautiful.

Those mummies couldn't go into the water, and the little mice couldn't go into the water either. The three of us stayed in the water, as cold as a dog, when we saw the white-haired old thief jump up, and immediately landed in front of us. on the road.

Immediately afterwards, the white-haired old thief's stomach swelled, and before I could react, he heard the doctor and Brother Wei yelling to be careful at the same time, and dragged me into the water.

I was caught off guard, and I didn't have time to hold my breath. I was suddenly pressed into the water by them, and I choked on the water. For a while, I only felt that the trachea and lungs were burning. water poured in.

It can be seen from this that dying by drowning is really a very painful thing. I really can't understand why many people commit suicide and like to jump into the river. Even if they want to die, can't they find a more comfortable way to die?
