Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

Xiao Tang's actions startled Alfonso, and he made gestures again and again: "Relax, elax, takeiteasy... I just want to check on his condition, nothing else."

"There's no need to look, he's dead."

Xiao Tang made a judgment without even looking at Amao. This attitude is obviously unconvincing. Even Uncle Zhongyi felt that it was too hasty, so he persuaded from the side: "Let everyone take a look, a few Younger people always grow up together, just treat it as the last look..."

Before he finished speaking, Mazi yelled at the top of his voice, "Look... old man... look!"

Amao obviously had his pupils dilated and his body was stiff, but at this moment he suddenly twitched, spitting out green foam from his mouth, emitting a strong and pungent smell, like acid spilled on tiles, It still smelled like burning hair.Everyone retreated one after another, covering their noses and retching non-stop.

Fadu stared at him in astonishment, and soon discovered that the part of him wrapped in green water plants began to rot, and then thick white smoke began to emit from his whole body, and the shape of the human body gradually disappeared in the white mist, turning into There was an inexplicable puddle.After a few minutes, a healthy person turned into a green skeleton, and even the rubber diving suit melted.

After a few more minutes, those skeletons also began to dissolve, leaving only a strong stench wafting in the air.

"What the hell is that...what the hell is that glowing flower?" All this happened so suddenly, Fadu couldn't help shaking, the fear that surpassed all previous cognitions swallowed him like a huge wave .

"Cordyceps. It is recorded in the ancient books of the ancestors of the Tang family that this kind of thing can only grow in places with extremely cold and extremely dark corpses. It uses luminous flower discs to attract prey. It is similar to the life mechanism of Venus flytrap. The only difference Its digestive juice is a strong acidic substance. Because it is difficult to find food in the place where it grows, once it gets it, it will digest the prey as quickly as possible and then convert it into nutrients for storage. Have you seen "The Deer and Ding Tale"? ?In ancient times, there was no technology for making acid, and the corpse water used by Wei Xiaobao is actually the digestive juice of Cordyceps corpse."

Fadu sat down slumped, although it was only a one-sided statement, but he would always feel better after knowing its origin.

"Can you hold on?" Seeing that his face was so ugly, Xiao Tang leaned over and held his hand, "There should be no need to go into the water ahead, go and change your clothes first, your face looks like a ghost."

The warmth from the palm of his hand suddenly gave him inexplicable courage: "I'm fine, I'm just tired...Xiao Tang, since you already know that he is hopeless, why are you trying to bring him back? This is not your style at all. .”

"If I don't bring him back, can you give up?" Xiao Tang looked contemptuous, "You are too brainy, at least let you see how he died, so that you won't scold me for being cold-blooded and heartless."

Fadu clasped his hands together and said Amitabha: "If you want to cut off other people's hands without saying anything, isn't that considered cold-blooded and heartless?"

Xiao Tang sneered: "Okay, next time I won't cut off other people's hands, but directly cut off your legs."

Fadu: ==

There is no skylight in the cave, so it is impossible to distinguish between morning and evening. The magnetic field here is so weird that not only the compass is out of order, but even the mobile phone and watch are not working properly. We can only rely on the biological clock to roughly tell the time at this moment.

The poisonous mist from the corpse had gradually dissipated and disappeared, but everyone dared not relax and withdrew a few hundred meters away before lying down on the ground to rest.The ground in the cave is wet and slippery, and there is a lot of natural black nitrate in the deposited silt, so we can't light a fire to keep warm, and everyone can only wrap their sleeping bags tightly to resist the cold.

Because the temperature was too low, Fadu hid in his sleeping bag and kept shaking. Even though he was exhausted, he couldn't sleep well.

After finally falling asleep, the horrifying dream came as promised.

The surging ground fire, the howling monks who were swallowed by the sea of ​​flames, and the severed arm that gradually charred and deformed under the baking...

Fadu suddenly woke up from his sleep, those horrible scenes seemed to be still in front of him, his eyelids were extremely heavy, as if the soaring resentment hadn't had time to pour out, and he was in a hurry to drag him back into the dream.

He opened his mouth wide and tried to make a sound, but he tried his best but couldn't do what he wanted. Instead, his breath was choked in his chest, and he fell into a vortex of fear that was gradually suffocating.

"Fa Du! Fa Du! Wake up!" There was another familiar earthquake, pulling Fa Du back from the nightmare.

"Little Tang..." Fadu pulled the corners of his mouth into a half-smile, "The next time you wake me up, please be gentle... Aw..."

Xiao Tang didn't know how to be gentle. Seeing that he woke up, he let him fall to the ground, kicked him in frustration, and then remembered to ask him: "What's going on, it's the white snake again this time?"

"No. I saw a dark cave. I don't know why a fire broke out suddenly. Many monks inside were burned to death... This dream has appeared for the second time, and it is very real."

"Where is that? When did it happen?"

"I don't know. The interior looks like a temple, and it looks like a cave as a whole. It's very dark inside, with thick candles lit. As for when... Monks' costumes haven't changed for thousands of years. Big, I can’t be sure. By the way, their cassocks are very special, even under the firelight, they are dazzling, and I don’t know what material they are made of.”

"Twice in a row, it proves that this dream is extraordinary. When you dream again, don't always stare at those pictures, you try to look at the surrounding environment."

"... Can people control dreams?"

"Others may not be able to, but you must be able to."

"You trust me that much?"

"I just believe that the blood relationship of Huasheng Temple will not cheat."

"roll!"

In order to save electricity, only two lights were on.In order not to hinder everyone, Xiao Tang lay down next to Fadu and listened quietly to his narration of dreams. He also tried his best to lower his voice when talking. There was a fluster for no reason.

He turned over and sat up suddenly: "Xiao Tang, I seem to be sick."

When Xiao Tang heard this, he also sat up: "What's wrong with you?"

"I can't breathe in my chest, my heart is beating fast, and my throat is very dry..." Fadu said, and he felt that Xiao Tang was groping for his hand, and it took him a while to realize that Xiao Tang was doing something. Feel for his pulse.

"There seems to be no problem. According to your description, it is probably due to physical exhaustion and mild dehydration. Drink some water and sleep well and you will be fine. Okay, go to sleep, I will watch over you."

Xiao Tang's guarantee was more effective than sleeping pills, and Fadu actually slept until the time to set off again this time.

Seeing that everyone was ready to go, Fadu immediately blushed: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's hard to believe that so many people are waiting for me here."

"We're all used to coming and going in the wind and rain, so we can bear this hardship. But you are weak, and you haven't slept well these days, so I let you rest for a while." Uncle Loyalty After finishing speaking, Xiao Tang walked back along the dark passage: "We explored just now, there should be no danger ahead, everyone can proceed as planned."

Fa Du stared at Xiao Tang, feeling incredible: "Xiao Tang, are you a monster? You are always so alive and kicking, and your energy seems to be inexhaustible."

"Fa Du, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Tang didn't respond to what was just a joke, but Uncle Loyalty suddenly lowered his face, as if this was a topic that couldn't be brought up.

"Let's go, I don't know how far this secret passage is, we have to speed up, otherwise the supplies will be even more insufficient." Xiao Tang came over as usual, grabbed Fadu and left.

The secret passage in front is not easy to walk. The structure of the stalactite cave is very strange, and the caves are often interlocked and superimposed. Their footsteps are pounding on the stalactites. It seems that the ground under their feet is empty at all, and it should be connected to other places. cave.It is precisely because of this that they have to be extra careful. Once they step through the cave wall with too much force, they will fall into a deeper unknown cavity, basically there is no return.

Fadu walked with his head buried for a while, and suddenly saw two red light spots flashing in front of him like yesterday.Probably because the biological resources here are even more scarce. These two corpse caterpillars are obviously smaller than the ones they met yesterday. Their flower discs are no bigger than a basketball. The seaweed-like leaves hang weakly in the air, and the red light is much dimmer.

When Fadu saw the Cordyceps corpse, he felt shuddering: "Didn't you say that there is no danger ahead?"

"As long as you don't touch it, it will never wake up." Xiao Tang replied calmly, "This kind of thing is absolutely pediatrics here, and you will get used to it after seeing it too much."

Fadu lowered his voice: "You knew there was such a ghost thing here when you came here?"

"I read the information about Corpse Cordyceps from ancient books. I used to take the other road. If conditions permit, of course I choose the avenue. Who would go into the water hole? It's strange, Corpse Cordyceps They must absorb nutrients to grow rapidly. As you can see, there is almost nothing to feed them here, but they grow so big, where did they get the nutrients?"

How could Fadu have the heart to listen to Xiaotang's soliloquy, the secret passage in front of him was almost full of corpse caterpillar fungus, they spread on the left and right and on the wall to form a whole piece, and the bewitching red light illuminated the whole secret passage , like a road full of colorful lights.If you don't know their details, you may still find this scene full of joy.

Xiao Tang also stopped, and sincerely admired: "It's so beautiful."

If it wasn't for the precepts first, Fadu would have wished to punch him on the spot.Liked for such a terrible scene, Xiao Tang, your aesthetics is really amazing!

"Don't you think these corpse caterpillars grow very special?"

Fadu suppressed his nausea and asked, "What's so special?"

"They grow neatly on both sides and on the wall of the cave, but they don't grow in the middle of the road. They are so neat that they seem to be planted deliberately by someone."

"You mean, these ghost things are artificially planted?" Fadu asked, "Then what is the purpose of them planting these things? Is it to prevent outsiders from entering?"

Xiao Tang shook his head: "Or to prevent the things inside from coming out."

"What's in it? What's in it?"

Xiao Tang smiled inscrutablely: "Have you ever played Plants vs. Zombies?"
