The years of reselling the haunted house

Li and I looked at each other slightly and exchanged opinions.Believing that we both got an affirmative answer from each other's eyes, the two of us each took a torch and leaned forward slowly.

The space below is not that big, and after walking a few steps, they came to the front of the vertical coffin.

As expected, although the lid of the coffin was still tightly closed, there was still a piercing chill from inside.

Inside this tomb, there is a lot of scattered sand and soil, and quicksand is constantly falling on the surrounding walls, which may overturn the entire tomb at any time.There isn't much time left for us down here.

Hearing the screams of those people falling below, I thought it was Prince Jing's corpse that had changed and attacked those people.But after coming down, no zombies appeared, and the lid of the coffin seemed to be tight. It didn't seem like Lord Jing returned to the coffin after attacking those people.

Chapter 1818 Ghost Bud Flower

From this, I judged that the cause of death of those people should be due to being attacked by poisonous gas.

Because of such a small space, after more than 100 years, it is normal to accumulate some poisonous gas.As soon as the hole was opened, those people fell down.Before the poisonous gas had time to spread, they were sucked in by them.They must be in extreme pain, screaming loudly.

The poisonous gas is limited. After all four people died of inhaling the poisonous gas, the outside air also diluted the components of the poisonous gas.So that Ergang may have survived.

However, he may not have inhaled a deadly poison, but a hallucinogenic one.That's why he shouted that there are a lot of treasures here.

I believe that what he saw at that time were all hallucinations, but after his words were passed on, Julio and others were convinced, which led to a large group of us taking the risk to the tomb.

When we got close to the vertical coffin, there was a sound of giggles coming from the direction of the coffin.This sound should have been there all the time, but we were a little farther away just now and didn't notice it.

Now the voice is crystal clear.

I have also judged that there is almost no place to hide people except inside the coffin, the only place is the space behind the coffin.Since the vertical coffin was so big that it blocked all of us from seeing, it should be possible to hide people behind it.

At this time, the voice sounded very clear, not like it came from inside the coffin.So after I made a judgment, I quickly walked around behind the coffin.

Sure enough, a figure crouched there, trembling.

Judging from his clothes, it was the Ergang who fell down with the other four just now.

I went up and pulled Er Gang over.

"Ah, don't eat me, don't eat me." Er Gang let out a howl, broke free from me, hugged his head, and rampaged in this small pothole.

"Get him under control," I yelled.

Er Gang didn't distinguish between direction and severity, and bumped heavily into the coffin several times.Because the force was not weak, the coffin was shaken so that it almost fell over.

Li Weidu also shouted loudly: "Hurry up, come and help the coffin, don't let him fall down."

Li Weiwei and I rushed over quickly and tried our best to support the coffin.

At this time, Ergang hit the coffin again heavily.With a loud bang, the coffin shook, its center of gravity tilted, and finally fell to one side.

Er Gang himself was knocked to the ground by the reaction, and someone rushed up to control Er Gang.

And Li Weiwei and I couldn't bear the weight of the coffin.

Although the coffin felt wooden, it was extremely heavy.

"Quick, Master." I shouted.

Under Julio's command, a few more people rushed up to help us lift the coffin.

But even if several people worked together, they still couldn't stop the coffin from falling.

It can be seen how heavy the weight was, we finally couldn't hold on, we could only let go, and watched the coffin hit the ground heavily.

"Bang..." There was a loud noise, and the dust scattered.

We escaped one after another.

Not only did the coffin fall, what was worse was that the lid of the coffin, which looked very strong, also cracked a gap because of it.From the gap, a trace of cold air came out.

"It's not good, monster, the monster is out, run, run..." Although Er Gang was restrained, he still yelled incoherently.

Obviously, Er Gang's sanity was damaged, and the first five people who came down were four dead and one crazy.

"Ergang, didn't you say you have treasure? Where is it?" Julio continued to ask Ergang.

"Inside, there is treasure inside, and the treasure was taken away by monsters." Er Gang looked terrified, pointing at the fallen coffin and shouted.

"Is there treasure inside? Split the coffin open for me." Julio stared at the coffin with bloodshot eyes.

"Julio, Ergang is already crazy, didn't you see that? Do you believe his words?" I shouted angrily.

Julio walked up and said, "Nonsense, it's all over now. Do you think I can be willing if I don't open the coffin? I don't believe it. The coffin looks old, and there is no cultural relic in it. of?"

As he spoke, Julio took a machete from someone else and was about to step forward.

At this time, driven by his interests, he showed a side that was completely inconsistent with his character.Julio is a bullying guy, so he dared to open the coffin at this time, which was beyond my expectation.

"Wait." Li Weiwei suddenly reached out to stop Julio: "This coffin is unusual, look..."

With that said, Li slightly pointed to the surrounding walls.

Someone held up a torch and took a light, and found that there were tree roots and other things vaguely entangled in those soil layers.

"What is this?" Julio was puzzled.

"You forgot so soon, how did Heizi die?" Li sneered slightly.

Heizi's face was poisoned by pollen because he went down to cut that strange flower, and later got entangled in some tree roots.It was a terrifying scene, and of course we all remember it.

Li Weiwei continued: "Did you see those tree roots or something? There are no large trees on it, so these roots are not tree roots, but the roots of that flower."

"How is it possible? The flower is so big, how could it have so many roots?"

Although Julio didn't quite understand why Li Weiwei mentioned this, he still argued with Li Weiwei.

"Then have you ever seen flowers that can be poisoned by pollen, and can be chopped even with a knife?" Li Weiwei asked back.

"This..." Julio was stopped by the question, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

I asked: "Lao Li, do you remember the origin of that flower?"

Li nodded slightly: "When I first saw that flower, I felt like I had seen it somewhere. I didn't remember it until I came down and saw these tree roots."

"What's the name of the flower?"

Now even Julio stopped, ready to listen to Li gently talk about the flower.After all, this series of weird things were all caused by that flower.

"If I'm not mistaken, that flower should be called Ghost Bud, and it's a ghost bud flower."

"Ghost bud flower, sounds like a very evil name."

Li Weiwei went on to say: "Not only the name is evil, but the experience of its growth is even more evil..."

Li Weiwei thought of the origin of this flower, and told us the story according to his own memory.And the originally chaotic scene calmed down again because of this.Even Julio was listening carefully. After all, no one had similar experiences or insights.

Chapter 1819 The roots on the corpse

Li Weiwei went on to say: "If the soil layer here has not collapsed, I think those roots should have grown from this coffin. These thick roots and vines grew out of the coffin, and the roots and vines penetrated into the soil and grew horizontally, which would make this area The area of ​​the soil is fully occupied. When the root system develops to a certain extent, a ghost bud will grow in the soil. You have also seen that so many roots can only grow a ghost bud flower. Because of this ghost bud The flower grows in the soil, so it does not need photosynthesis like ordinary plants, and its leaves are also black. Only under certain conditions, the ghost bud flower will break out of the soil."

"Nonsense, how could there be roots growing on the coffin?" Julio was quite disdainful after hearing this.

"Look carefully, there are still traces of rooting on the coffin. The crack was formed because of the root of the flower. So the root of the ghost bud flower did not grow in the soil, nor did it absorb nutrients from the soil, but It is to absorb nutrients from the coffin."

"Absorb nutrients from the coffin? The more I talk about it, the more I talk about it, there is no nutrition in the coffin, there is only..."

As Julio spoke, his expression also changed.I can see that although Julio is still very stubborn, he should already agree with Li Weiwei's words in his heart.Otherwise, the strange flower could not be explained at all.

So when Li slightly said that the ghost bud flower absorbed nutrients from the coffin, Julio also realized what was supplying the ghost bud with nutrients.

In the coffin, there are only corpses.

Then the one that can supply the ghost buds with nutrients is naturally that corpse.

This matter is easy to say, but when you think about it, it is an extremely terrifying thing.Especially with the coffin in front of us, the visual impact is much more serious.

"One of the most notable characteristics of the root of the ghost bud flower is its super regeneration ability. Even if you cut it off, it will continue to grow new roots very quickly. But now you see, everything is normal here, and there is no Root regrowth happens, so I feel like the problem is inside that coffin..."

"Come out, come out..."

At this time, someone uttered a terrified cry beside him.

We heard the sound and looked, and sure enough, we found that a root like a tree root quietly protruded out of the gap in the cracked coffin lid.

The color of the roots is whitish, and it looks like new roots.It was like a living thing, protruding from the crack, and quickly divided into two under our noses.Those two roots continued to climb the coffin, and soon divided into two, one became two, two became four, four became eight...

"This is the root of the ghost bud flower, and it really regenerated. Not good, we have to leave here immediately, otherwise this space will be filled soon, and we will all die."

Li Weiwei suddenly panicked, reminded loudly, beckoning everyone to evacuate from here quickly.

wow...

Before Li Weidu could finish his sentence, he heard a crisp sound from the side of the coffin, and the entire coffin lid began to split apart from the crack.The strong coffin lid was broken.

"Ah... what is it..."

"too disgusting……"

For a moment, everyone who saw the contents of the coffin let out exclamations of varying degrees.Regardless of everything, everyone frantically turned around and wanted to escape from the original direction. It seemed that staying here for a second longer might bring great danger.

The lid of the coffin was opened, and there was no gold, silver or jewelry inside.

What appeared in sight was a corpse.

It is not surprising that there are corpses in the coffin.To everyone's horror, countless white roots and buds grew on the surface of the corpse.Those roots were intertwined, almost covering the entire corpse.

The corpse, together with the roots on the corpse, filled the entire coffin.

The coffin lid was actually broken by these roots.

"Roar……"

As the coffin lid broke, the corpse suddenly let out a low growl and rolled out of the coffin.

Those white roots on his body, like his thin feet, kept shaking, looking particularly disgusting and terrifying.

"It's alive, it's a fraud..."

"Zombies, zombies are going to eat people."

There was a burst of exclamation, one after another, and the people present went crazy again, dragging the rope desperately to climb up.

Anxiousness caused chaos, when everyone was pulling the rope, the two ropes were actually snapped.

Half of the rope fell from the sky, and there was a desperate cry from the audience.

Although the pit is not very deep, it is not easy to climb up by manpower.

At this time, everyone was like a group of people who had fallen into a tiger's hole. It seemed that they could only sit and wait for death, with no hope of escape at all.

And the white roots that grew out of the corpse continued to grow outward.

And the growth rate is extremely fast, almost bubbling out at a speed visible to the naked eye.Soon, the half of the tomb hole was filled with those roots.

I also noticed that after the roots touched the wall of the nearby hole, they quickly burrowed in.These seemingly weak roots can break through the soil and drill into those soil layers.It looks effortless, just like pricking tofu with needles.

Seeing this scene, those of us panicked even more.At this speed, within a few minutes, those roots will fill the entire space. Even if those of us are not pierced to death by those roots, we will be suffocated to death by the entanglement of the roots.

Seeing those roots approaching us little by little, the situation is already very critical.

At this time, Julio suddenly grabbed a torch, cursing and about to throw the torch over.

I stopped him and asked, "Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

Julio's face was pale, and he waved the torch in his hand, shouting: "Burn it, burn it to death. That's how we burned it up above, this trick must work."

I scolded: "Fart. Such a small place, if it burns up, we will all turn into roast pigs. Can you use your brain?"

Julio obviously didn't expect this, and his face turned extremely pale again after I said this, and he lost his mind: "Then what should I do? What should I do? Look, it's coming, it's coming..."

While speaking, those spirit snakes whose roots looked like strips were constantly swimming, and were quickly surrounding our group of people.

"Lao Li, is there a way?" I asked loudly.

"No way, time is too tight, it's too late." Li Weiwei became extremely depressed, and I rarely heard such dejected words from him.Isn't this state ready to sit and wait to die?

Even Li Weiwei gave up, and this seemed to be a dead end.

Chapter 1820

But I didn't give up completely. At this time, I would rather believe what Li Weiwei once said.The two of us escaped death and almost went through a reincarnation in the ancient village of Jingjiang, and we were safe and sound in the end, which shows that both of us are the chosen ones.

The chosen one is blessed by God.

Since he is the chosen one, how could he be easily trapped here.
