When the professor saw this scene, he felt as if he was in a dream, as if he had read the illustrations of horror novels when he was a child. There was a mysterious horror in the illusion, and the dew-wet clothes and the gentle breeze all reminded him of it. Professor, this is not a scary and illusory dream, but a real reality. The professor's heart is beating wildly. He took a deep breath, swallowed, and tried his best to control his almost collapsed emotions.

But then, an even more terrifying scene happened:

The stone statue of a naked woman suddenly let out a slight groan. The professor felt that his scalp was numb and buzzing, and he almost fainted. He had never felt such a strong sense of fear since he was a child.

How could this stone statue make a sound? He must be hallucinating, because people will hallucinate when they are in extreme fear, the professor thought silently, trying to maintain his rational thinking.

With trembling hands, he clumsily took out a cigar from his pocket, then lit it tremblingly, and took a few big puffs. It was indeed effective, and he felt much calmer. But at this moment, the professor not only The groaning sound of the stone statue turned louder, and it even coughed, as if it was choking on cigar smoke.

Only then did the professor realize that this was indeed not an hallucination. The moans and coughs were indeed coming from this stone statue without facial features.

The professor hesitated for a moment, pulled out his revolver, pointed it at the stone statue, and shouted loudly in Chinese: "You are a human or a ghost, stand up quickly, or I will shoot you to death, do you hear me?"

After finishing speaking, the professor fired a shot into the sky. This shot was particularly loud in the silent night, startling several groups of mountain birds in the nearby trees to fly.

After shouting and firing, the professor felt that he was more courageous. He took out his flashlight and shined a light on the stone statue on the ground. Under the light of the flashlight, he observed carefully.

Judging from the texture and color of the outside, this is indeed a stone, but what surprised the professor was that the stone was moving slightly, as if it was alive. Not only that, there were moaning, coughing, and subtle... The gasping sound really came from this stone statue.

The professor stared there blankly for several minutes, still unable to believe his eyes or believing that this was reality.

Suddenly, maybe because he was too excited, his right hand holding the gun shook violently, and his finger on the trigger subconsciously pulled it. He heard a bang, and a bullet entered from the gun. Hit the stone statue.

Generally speaking, it is very dangerous to shoot a stone directly with a gun at such a close distance, because the bullet will often be directly reflected by the stone and turn into a ricochet. The lethality of this ricochet is different from that of a direct shot. The bullets are almost exactly the same. Not only are the ricochet bullets that are directly reflected back very lethal, but bullets fired two or three times through the stone can still be fatal.

But something unexpected happened. After the bullet hit the stone statue, it was not reflected back, but went in with a bang. Not only that, under the illumination of the flashlight, the professor was surprised to find that the bullet actually came from the stone statue. Blood oozed from the statue.

How could the stone still bleed? What was going on? Almost at the same time, the stone statue suddenly screamed and its body began to shake violently, as if it was in great pain. It was exactly the same as the reaction of an ordinary woman being shot by a bullet, but Since there are no facial features, the expression on the face of the stone statue cannot be seen, but only its body can be seen twisting and struggling violently. The rainbow above also suddenly swayed and quickly disappeared, as if blown by the wind. It's like blowing away.

At this time, the professor's mind was completely confused, because according to normal logic, he could no longer explain what happened in front of him. He just stood there blankly, with a cigar in his mouth, a flashlight in his left hand, and a gun in his right hand. I stared blankly at the stone statue struggling and groaning in pain. After a long time, it gradually became motionless, as if it was completely dead. The blood flowed all over the floor. Moreover, the blood had a strong fishy smell, which was similar to that of ordinary human blood. The smell is very different.

I don't know how long it took for the professor's mind to gradually calm down. Only then did he slowly realize that this was originally a strange mountain, and all kinds of incredible things would happen here. What happened tonight was just... This is just one of many mysterious phenomena.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in college, his tutor, who had a deep research on various mysterious phenomena of human beings, once told him something like this:

Decades ago, stone tablets inscribed with ancient writings were discovered in some ancient tombs in the Mesopotamian plains that were thousands of years old. After deciphering these ancient writings, philologists discovered that these tablets recorded such a legend, in a mysterious In the mountains, the stones there can also be fertilized. As long as human or animal semen drips on them, the stones can develop into human shapes or various animal shapes.

But the vast majority of fertilized stones will only change into the shape of humans or animals, but will not have life. They are still just stones. However, there are very few such fertilized stones. Due to various changes in time and special environment, Factors can actually transform into living human or animal forms.

The inscription also records that three hunters from a certain tribe once went hunting on this mountain. They were attacked by monkey-shaped stones and were bitten to death. Only one of them escaped desperately. Since then, Hunters in the tribe were often bitten to death by this stone-like monkey. The people in the tribe were very panicked, thinking that they had offended the mountain god, so they burned the two most beautiful girls in the tribe alive, and then As a sacrifice to the mountain god.

But it was still useless. Hunters were still attacked and killed by this stone-like monster. This phenomenon continued for decades.

Archaeologists didn't seem to pay special attention to this record at first. They thought it was just a legend. How could such a thing happen in reality?

However, something incredible happened.

With subsequent archaeological excavations, archaeologists discovered a strange stone. Some of the stones were shaped like monkeys, some were like foxes, and some were like people. In short, they looked like different kinds of animals. And judging from the shape alone, they are not generally similar, but extremely similar, as if they were carefully carved by people.

Some archaeologists initially thought that these were just animal fossils, but after further research, they were surprised to find that they were not fossils.

Because if it is a fossil, the internal structure of these animals should be left in it, but there is nothing in these stones, just stones.

Since they are not fossils, they must have been carved by humans. However, after testing with modern instruments, archaeologists were even more surprised to find that these animal-shaped stones had no traces of carvings at all, and they studied their internal textures in detail. Archaeologists have come to the conclusion that these animal-shaped stones are by no means artificially carved, but are entirely formed by the stones themselves.

But no one could explain why the stones would spontaneously grow into the shape of animals and look so lifelike. Only later did some historians think of the legend that certain stones on that mountain could be fertilized. , and develop into the shapes of various animals, although from the perspective of modern science, this mysterious phenomenon still cannot be explained.

The professor was also very curious when he heard his instructor talk about this. He even asked the instructor specifically what he thought about this matter, because he knew that the instructor had his own unique opinions on almost all mysterious phenomena in the world.

The instructor told him that in fact, the kind of fertilized stone is not a real stone, but developed inside the mountain due to a special environment. It looks like a stone, but it is a special organism. Once a special organism encounters animal sperm and is in a special environment, it will develop into that kind of monster.

The professor thought of this and looked at the stone nude female statue in front of him. He seemed to understand something. Could it be that some of the characteristics of this mountain were the same as the mountain mentioned by the instructor? And was the female nude statue in front of him the instructor? What about that special "stone" I mentioned?

Just when the professor was in a daze, he suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking slightly, and then there was a rumbling sound as if coming from inside the mountain. He seemed to feel that everything in front of him was moving slowly, right next to the "Nude Woman Stone". Next to it, a crack suddenly appeared slowly, and the crack got bigger and bigger, until it reached a width of more than one meter, and then it slowly stopped.

At this time, I don’t know whether it was because he had adapted to the environment, or because he had become more courageous with the pistol in his hand. Anyway, when the cracks slowly opened, although the professor was still surprised, he was no longer as at a loss as before. Holding a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, he looked at the cracks vigilantly and calmly to guard against possible dangers.

After the crack stopped, several shrill screams suddenly came out from inside. The screams seemed to be coming from a well, with a strong echo.

Immediately afterwards, a dark thing slowly crawled out along the edge of the crack. The professor quickly took a flashlight and shined it. Under the flashlight light, the professor could clearly see that another one appeared. The naked woman with the appearance and texture of stone seemed as if the stone statue suddenly came to life. This "stone woman" crawled out and made a terrifying and strange sound from her mouth, which made people shudder.

The professor shined a flashlight on the face of this "stone girl". This "stone girl" was different from the one who was beaten to death just now. The face of this "stone girl" had clear facial features, although the facial features were extremely rough. ,fear.

When she saw the flashlight shining on it, the "stone girl" suddenly bared her teeth, accompanied by a shrill scream. The long and sharp teeth were exposed outside her lips, and her eyes glowed red like a rabbit. Come.
