Mountain Village Ghost Story 21

monster

As soon as Zhou Yan entered the tunnel, he felt wet and cold. His clothes and pants were stuck to the hard stones, but his skin was aching from the cold.

What came from the nostrils was a stench and rotten smell, and the strange animal cry disappeared when they entered the tunnel.

His eyesight is very good, he can see the two furry heads of Zhang Wenwen and Pang Ziyu are trying to climb down slowly, this corridor is slanted down, he can't see the figures of the two npcs.

However, with Zhang Wenwen and Pang Ziyu watching, there shouldn't be any serious problems.

After walking for some time, Zhou Yan felt that he was about to freeze. He heard the trembling voice of Pang Ziyu in front of him: "Zhou Yan, ask if Qi Sixian has arrived?"

Isn't Qi Sixian in front of them?

Zhou Yan suddenly stopped and said, "Isn't the npc in front of you?"

Pang Ziyu and Zhang Wenwen's faces turned pale with fright, and their voices became phony.

Zhang Wenwen shouted in a crying voice: "Don't, don't scare me, they obviously didn't go ahead."

"They're up there." Ji Fangwei's calm voice sounded from behind.

Zhou Yan firmly grasped the ground with his fingertips, took a deep breath, and looked up mentally.

Qi Sixian and Hu Ling crawled on the top of the tunnel like geckos. Their limbs were firmly attached to the wet and cold stone wall. The wrinkles and ravines on their faces almost outlined their thin skeletons. It turned into a mummy that seemed to have been sucked dry.

Their fragile eyelids slowly opened, and their black bean-like eyeballs were embedded in the hollow eye sockets. They looked at Zhou Yan and others and said, "Student, why don't you go forward."

Seeing such a terrifying scene, Zhang Wenwen trembled with fear, but couldn't help sobbing: "Why, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Qi Sixian slowly raised his head to look forward, and said: "It should be here soon, it should be here soon."

He was carrying two heavy equipment on his shoulders, and his clothes were shattered by the belt, and the plastic shell hit the stone wall from time to time, making a sound that made Zhou Yan feel distressed.

It's the kind of pain I feel.

Zhou Yan looked at the wobbly machine above his head and said, "Leader Qi, do you want me to help you get this machine?"

Qi Sixian thought about it for a while, and felt that this posture was indeed a little uncomfortable. This team member named Zhou Yan is also the most reliable, and he can be absorbed into the Dongyuan Research Institute in the future to become the backbone of strength.

He handed the camera to Zhou Yan and said, "Take it."

After Zhou Yan took it, as expected, the system sounded a reminder.

【Ding!Congratulations to the player Zhou Yan for getting the props - special camera]

[Introduction: Please use the precision equipment carefully to avoid damage. 】

Zhou Yan put it into the system's inventory. This must be an important item. At this moment, he already had a vague guess in his mind, but he just needed a little spare time to verify it.

For example, the tape inside should have important hints.And where is the telegram sent by Qi Sixian?

Finally, the corridor under him changed, it was no longer so narrow, and it allowed people to walk half-stand up slowly, and gradually there were some uneven patterns on both sides of the smooth stone wall. Zhou Yan stroked it carefully, and always felt that his hands It was sticky, and he stopped his hand immediately.

Somehow his eyesight was affected, his eyes were always hazy, his fingers twisted the things on the stone wall, and he felt a slippery feeling.

This reminded him of the bad experience of the previous dungeon.

What is this?

As soon as he took it to his nose and smelled it, he was almost fainted by a strong and heavy stench, and even his consciousness began to gradually blur. It made his chest feel as if it was overwhelmed.

Zhou Yan quickly held his breath, and he felt the ubiquitous sense of prying eyes come and go again, as if something was staring at him in the dark.

"There is something."

He opened his mouth to say this sentence, but his mouth seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make any sound.

The feeling of oppression made him almost unable to breathe, and cold sweat broke out. Zhou Yan felt as if he had been immersed in water. His trembling hand called out the flashlight, and with the last of his strength, he turned on the ultraviolet lamp in his hand, and the mist While tumbling, he saw a dark yellow vertical pupil close to him.

In the dark purple fluorescent light, a scarlet bloody mouth opened suddenly, and just as it was about to swallow him, someone grabbed him by the collar.

Zhou Yan, who was about to breathe just now, had his throat blocked again, and then there was a violent noise in his ears, and he fell into a deep coma.

jingle.jingle.

The continuous crisp sound flowed into his body like a clear spring, awakening Zhou Yan's drowsy brain from the dark nightmare.

Ji Fangwei looked down at Zhou Yan who was in a coma. His slender eyelashes were still clinging to tiny drops of water, and faint blue blood vessels could be seen faintly on his thin eyelids. His lips were very white, which should be the result of being eroded by Yin Qi just now. , even the slightly raised arc of the corner of the mouth is like a withered flower at this moment, calm and lifeless.

Ji Fangwei was a little confused, he had already dispelled the Yin Qi in his body, why he still hasn't woken up.

Putting his fingers on the man's neck that was a little chilly, he suddenly felt his pulse beat faster.

"you're awake?"

Zhou Yan knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, his heart was beating violently uncontrollably, the sense of crisis made him tense his muscles, he wouldn't want to kill himself anymore, would he?

Although he didn't know what happened, he was still alive at this moment, and he seemed to be leaning on someone's leg. If he wanted to kill him, he could have killed himself early in the morning. Why wait until this time?

Zhou Yan still moved his eyelashes cautiously, pretending to just wake up, and even blinked, as if he was not used to the light in front of him.

bright?

This time, he was really not used to the sudden light, and all of a sudden, there were colorful blurred spots in his vision, which made him shed tears in an instant.

Ji Fangwei immediately understood his predicament, covered his eyes with his hand, and said, "There is candlelight here."

Zhou Yan felt that his eyes were warm, and he was a little puzzled by the appropriateness, so he could only change the subject and said, "Where is this place?"

Ji Fangwei looked at the everlasting lantern in front of him, and said, "The tomb of King Nanyan."

Zhou Yan thought of the clear yellow animal eyes he saw before he fell into a coma, and he couldn't help feeling cold all over, and said, "What happened just now?"

Ji Fangwei felt the itch in the palm of his hand, it was his eyelashes that could not be shaken, so he put down his palm, carefully lifted him up, and said, "Something has attacked us."

The corners of Zhou Yan's eyes were a little red from the heat, and his strength was running low, but he didn't care about these things, and all his mind was attracted by the weird thing in front of him.

This is a monster that has been spliced ​​indiscriminately, with a huge gray nose like a pig being pressed on the face of a black bear, and the entire bear head is mounted on the body of a huge lizard.

The body part of the lizard came from nowhere. It was five meters long. Its huge body collapsed like a mountain in the narrow tunnel, blocking the entire hole tightly. It should have fallen here from above.

For some unknown reason, the steel-like skin on its body lifted off countless pieces of fish-like scales, densely all over its blue hard skin.

Zhou Yan felt that these scale-like skins should be artificially made, because under the gleaming scales were white flesh that was still bloodshot, and he could even see that the bottom of some scales had begun to rot in black and green. With a light touch, the seemingly indestructible scales immediately fell off like fallen dead leaves.

The monster's eyes should be extracted from some kind of giant python. Its eyelids are drooping, revealing cloudy yellow eyeballs, black pupils dilated into round shapes, and a long gray tongue sticking out of its mouth.Between its brows was a cluster of cold arrows, which happened to cut off its nerves, causing this vicious and ugly giant to lose its life completely.

Zhou Yan stepped forward lightly, he wanted to see what was connecting these monster parts.

Ji Fangwei followed behind him, hesitant to speak.

What connects these strange parts is not a thin thread that can be explained by science, but a series of red spells, nailed to two different parts like steel needles, and stitched into an indescribable monster body. There is a dim light shining.

Who on earth created such an item?

"Where did they go?" Zhou Yan recalled the scene before he fainted, and asked again, "Why did I faint?"

"Being separated by the monster attack in the cave, as for you," Ji Fangwei paused, looking at Zhou Yan with a reproachful look, "Did you touch something again?"

Zhou Yan hid his hands behind his back guiltily. Ever since he had a keen five senses, he really couldn't hold back his curiosity.

Ji Fangwei saw the flickering of his eyes under the eyelashes, showing full fear, and pretended to be serious and said: "Your previous paper figurines consumed your energy, and the tunnel is full of yin, and I smelled the monster's saliva, to be in a coma."

He paused, wanting to mention the ashes that fell on that shoulder before, his curiosity was too heavy.

At this time, there was another strange cry in the deep stone path, coming from all directions like a tide, and Zhou Yan could almost see countless pairs of bright beast eyes watching them from the darkness.

"What the hell is this?" Zhou Yan frowned, and wanted to take a closer look at its appearance, and said, "The core of this dungeon should be this spell."

Ji Fangwei said: "This monster should not be alive."

Zhou Yan wanted to say something else, but when he saw Ji Fangwei make a familiar silence gesture, he grabbed his wrist and stuck it to the wall of the corridor, and put on the invisibility cloak on the two of them with the old trick.

Ji Fangwei: "It's better to look at living things than dead things."

Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at the source of the strange scream.

Monsters of different shapes crawled slowly from the depths of the passage, and they made completely different beast calls. Zhou Yan observed that the shape of each monster's head determined the howl they made. The bottom of the deer's feet is pressed with a cow's hoof. The body of some monsters is made of bulging fish skin, and a long and slender horse's tail is sewn on the end.

They blinked crooked eyes and came to the corpse of the slain monster, and opened their mouths to devour the huge monster.

There was no scene of dripping blood and rivers of blood as he had imagined. Zhou Yan discovered that what they tore apart was only the outer skin of this monster, and its interior was hollow. gas.

The dead monster was like a punctured ball. After a while, its body gradually flattened. The animal skin was torn off by the other monsters that surrounded it, leaving a skeleton that was much smaller than its body.

It turned out to be a human skeleton!

The sharp arrowhead pierced right in front of his forehead with such force that more than half of his skull was cracked.

This is exactly the same as the state of the paper figurines in Huaishui Village. Could it be that these monsters are also imprisoned living souls?

Zhou Yan couldn't help pressing his back tightly against the cold stone wall. At this moment, he understood that the tomb was the real key to this dungeon.

There must be someone secretly manipulating everything, is it the mysterious King Nanyan?

It is said that the corpse raising place can make the corpse immortal for tens of thousands of years, and even attain enlightenment and immortality. Is he still alive?

After the spliced ​​monsters enjoyed the sumptuous feast, they let out strange screams again.

Suddenly, bursts of roaring thunder came from the distant sky, and the power through the thick layers of soil was not so huge, but rather dull.Even the entire stone path began to vibrate slightly, some broken sand rustled down and landed on the invisibility cloak, vaguely depicting two figures close together.

But the herd of beasts didn't see the figure appearing in the originally empty tunnel, because the mild thunder caused a burst of commotion among the herd of beasts. Slowly walk deeper into the stone path.

Maybe follow them to find hints on what to do next.

Just as Zhou Yan was about to keep up, he suddenly realized that there was a temporary teammate beside him at the moment, turned his head to signal, and said, "Go together?"

There was no fear at all, as if he was asking Ji Fangwei if he wanted to go for a kebab together, relaxed and comfortable.

Ji Fangwei put away the invisibility cloak, a little surprised at Zhou Yan's eager reaction, and said, "Let's go."

Before leaving here, Zhou Yan couldn't help but look back at the skeleton again, and said with some concern: "I don't know where the others went?"

Ji Fangwei said: "There is no prompt from the system."

The implication is that they are still alive, if they act together with the two npcs, they should also be able to gather in one place in the end.

The corridor the two walked was not as sloping downward as before, but slowly upwards. The stone wall was lit with ever-burning lamps at intervals, illuminating the path forward for the two of them.

Only now did Zhou Yan realize that there were stone bricks scattered on both sides of the building. These stone bricks were neatly cut and it was obvious that they were made after manual polishing. How could they be randomly placed on both sides?

The walls are uneven, and the wet soil is exposed, and the traces of tools can be clearly seen, as if someone has expanded the passage here again.

Moreover, although the air here has a stench, these candles are very bright, obviously because the air here is circulating, and there is no dull feeling.

As Zhang Wenwen mentioned before, the underground exists as an extremely vast space.

Zhou Yan couldn't help thinking of some tomb robbery movies. To be honest, he also participated in the creation of several big rice dumplings and the production of props. Now that he is in such a real environment, he suddenly has the illusion of dreaming back to reality.

The movement of the herd of beasts in front gradually disappeared, and it was obvious that they had gone far away. He couldn't help speeding up his pace, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a mark in the corner of the earthen wall.

"Wait." Zhou Yan called to stop Ji Fangwei.

He walked slowly to the corner, where a pattern was vaguely engraved on it.

The person who described it used a few strokes to draw a semicircle, with a horizontal line drawn underneath, and a circle of distorted lines surrounding the semicircle.

Ordinary people might laugh it off when they saw this inconspicuous graffiti, but Zhou Yan is always very sensitive to images, and the window grille he saw in the guest house instantly appeared in his mind.

It is a scene of a sunrise horizon surrounded by golden dragons.

"Dongyuan..." Zhou Yan muttered two words to himself, "Yuan character, I remember it is an ancient bronze inscription, and that coin is also engraved with bronze inscriptions..."

He stood up suddenly, hit his head against a solid object, and then let out a muffled groan.

Zhou Yan's head also hurt, he was so focused that he forgot that there was a teammate beside him.But just now, Ji Fangwei probably hit it hard enough.

He touched the back of his head, stood up cautiously, and said to Ji Fangwei who had an unhappy face, "Sorry, I almost forgot someone was there."

Ji Fangwei's face turned even darker, his chin was slightly red from the impact, and it didn't look like no one should enter.

His voice was a little dull, and he said, "What did you find?"

Zhou Yan rubbed the back of his head and said: "This tunnel has been widened, and I suspect it has something to do with the Dongyuan Research Institute. There is also this Yuan character, which I have learned before, is an ancient bronze inscription, and the coins that Pang Ziyu ate , the font on it is also in bronze, there must be a connection between them."

Ji Fangwei also bent down to observe the graffiti-like pattern, his eyes turned cold for a moment, and said, "This is not only related to Dongyuan, but also to..."

He didn't speak.

Zhou Yan shrugged secretly, Ji Fangwei had a lot of secrets in him, and he claimed that he was not a person who likes to explore other people's privacy.As long as he doesn't hurt himself, he doesn't care about these.

"Go on."

The two continued to walk forward, the body temperature gradually became colder, the front was pitch black, and there was a huge space waiting for them.

There was even the sound of howling wind blowing from the front, blowing the corners of their clothes.

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, his vision felt to be shrouded in black mist all the time, he could only see a distance of two or three meters ahead in the darkness, no matter how far away he could do nothing.It should be what Ji Fangwei said, the Yin Qi here affected his eyesight.

He summoned the ultraviolet lamp, hesitating to turn it on.However, he thought for a while, if this world is based on reality, then King Nanyan's tomb should also follow the real tomb specifications.

According to the previous information, he is just a king of a small border country. According to common sense, this place should be in the tomb room in the tomb. He couldn't hold back his hand that was about to move, and said to Ji Fangwei in advance: "I touch it." the walls of this place."

Ji Fangwei understood that he was reporting to himself to prevent the previous situation from happening.Without waiting for an answer, he stretched out his hand towards the pitch-black wall, stroked it lightly, and said, "Stone brick."

Zhou Yan withdrew the ultraviolet flashlight in his hand. If it was built of stone bricks, there should be murals recording the life of the tomb owner in the tomb. His own ultraviolet lamp will most likely damage the murals in the tomb.

Be sure to keep a normal flashlight in your toolbox next time.

He took a look at the ground with an ultraviolet flashlight, and found piles of clay-like bottles and jars, which looked like ordinary utensils.

It's just that the mouths of these bottles and jars are all tightly sealed by the soil.Zhou Yan suddenly saw something among the bottles and jars, which seemed to be a long tube-shaped object.

Going forward and looking down, it is a flashlight dedicated to archaeology, engraved with a relief of the rising sun and surrounded by golden dragons, it should be a tool left by the Dongyuan Research Institute.

Zhou Yan picked up the flashlight and heard the system prompt.

[Congratulations to player Zhou Yan for obtaining a common item - a flashlight with super battery life. 】

[Item Introduction: Please turn on the flashlight and explore the darkness! 】

This is tantamount to a clue.

Zhou Yan turned on the flashlight.

A series of strange and colorful murals appeared in front of his eyes.
