Chapter 149 Flesh monsters
The carvings on this reservoir are also the image of a half-large boy, with a pair of small horns on his head, which is similar to the form I saw before, but what makes me feel strange is its eyes!&1t;/p>
If it weren't for the material of the stones around it, but simply looking at its eyes, I would think that this is a living person. Its eyes are smart and deep, and it has a hint of anger, which makes me shudder after seeing it! I don't know whose works these stone sculptures come from, and now they are still a master-level figure.&1t;/p>
I turned around and looked at the carvings on the stone wall behind the other reservoirs. I wondered if I had just overdrawn my strength, which led to my exhaustion and hallucination. I felt that every stone carving's eyes looked at me, and I suddenly felt like a ray of light on my back, which made me shivering!&1t;/p>
Just when I was lost in my mind for these stone sculptures, Yuanxiao rushed over and pushed me, "What are you doing stupidly standing up!" He looked at me with my eyes and immediately held his forehead and cursed, "Damn! Are you sick? You still have the heart to appreciate this at this time!"&1t;/p>
I was pushed by Yuanxiao and immediately came to my senses. The short and powerful footsteps of Kui in my ears had become more obvious. I dared not hesitate anymore, and I didn't even look at it and jumped into the reservoir.&1t;/p>
In order to facilitate the gathering of water, the bottom of the pool was tilted when it was built. So as soon as my feet fell to the ground, my body immediately lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, there were some hard things on the ground that just hit my butt, which hurt so much that I couldn't help but scream.&1t;/p>
At this time, Yuanxiao also jumped in. When he heard my scream, he immediately walked over, "Zhuoran, what's wrong with you?" As Yuanxiao stepped forward, a few "cracking" sounds came from his feet, as if something was trampled by him.&1t;/p>
We raised the flashlight strangely and saw that there were many bones at the bottom of the reservoir near the center. I could probably see that some of them were animal bones, and some looked very similar to human bones.&1t;/p>
This present made me feel very strange. We originally thought it would be a reservoir, but now it doesn't seem like this. Who would throw bones into the reservoir? But if it weren't a reservoir, then what are these pools built of stones for?&1t;/p>
However, there is not much time for us to imagine these things at this time, because Kui's voice is getting closer and closer.&1t;/p>
We hurriedly turned off the flashlight, hurriedly huddled in the pool, held our breath, and prayed in our hearts that Kui could pass quickly without us appearing.&1t;/p>
After a while, I lay on the edge of the reservoir and looked out carefully. The three cold fireworks I just threw out had not yet gone out. With their faint light, I saw a black shadow projecting around the corner, and it was getting bigger and bigger.&1t;/p>
I quickly pulled my head back and sat down tightly against the inner wall of the reservoir. I hugged my knees and tried to curl myself up so that my whole body could be hidden in the corner. Then I listened nervously to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.&1t;/p>
I have to say that Kui's feeling is still very keen. When he reached the position where we were hiding, he actually stopped. Maybe it still noticed a trace of strangeness. However, judging from the impact of the flashlight and the cold fireworks on it just now, its main sensory organ is still the eyes. Fortunately, it is not a creature with a sensitive sense of smell, otherwise, we will not be able to escape.&1t;/p>
When Kui walked by us, I covered my beating heart tightly with my hands and buried my head deep into my knees. At this time, we really can't do anything except ask God for blessing.&1t;/p>
But our luck was really good. Kui stopped for a while and then quickly left. Listening to its paces, my heart was finally letting go.&1t;/p>
Lantern Festival also leaned over from the side, "You're leaving?"&1t;/p>
I nodded and let out a long sigh. I was about to stand up, but accidentally touched the bone beside me. Although there was no danger, I still felt uncomfortable. I hurriedly pulled it back into my hand and stood up with the stone wall.&1t;/p>
In fact, I was still a little confused about the bones that appeared here. How could there be so many bones in the reservoir? So I turned on the flashlight and shone it under my feet.&1t;/p>
I once doubted whether this place was used to raise certain animals, but in this case, human bones should not appear. Therefore, I guess there is probably only one reason, that is, sacrifices! Those who die in this pond are sacrifices!&1t;/p>
However, there are many pools like this, and they are widely distributed and occasionally appear along the way. If they are all used to contribute sacrifices, then what is the connection between them? Or what exactly is the object of worship?&1t;/p>
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the deep hole in the middle of the bottom of the pond. The entrance of the cave is not big but looks very deep. Could it be that the object of worship is below? In this way, all the sacrifices in the sacrificial pond will eventually be gathered together through this deep hole, and there is a possibility.&1t;/p>
I glanced at my feet in front of me, and suddenly, I noticed that there were some bloodstains in the middle of these bones. And it didn't look long, which made me feel cold on my neck. I carefully kicked the bones away, but I saw that the source of the blood was a large rat, which was lying on the ground and was dead.&1t;/p>
I let out a light breath and it turned out to be a mountain rat. Rats can be said to be the most widely distributed animal on the earth. Except for the bottom of the water, they are almost everywhere. The underground holes and cracks here are crisscrossed, so it is normal for mountain rats to appear.&1t;/p>
Thinking of this, I wanted to turn my head and look elsewhere, but suddenly my heart changed. Something was wrong. If this mountain rat died here intact, then I would be more likely to understand, but what happened to the blood? Could it be that there are other predators here?&1t;/p>
I bent down and looked carefully but couldn't help but take a breath. The stomach of the mountain rat had been almost hollowed out, and the other places were eaten, with only one skin still intact. Next to its body, there was still a large piece of dried blood. Although it was just a mountain rat, it still looked very scary.&1t;/p>
I stood up suddenly, raised the flashlight vigilantly and looked around, and quickly took two steps back. But suddenly I ran into someone, and I turned my head slightly, and it turned out that it was Lanxiao standing behind me with his back to me.&1t;/p>
I stared at the corpse of the mountain rat, pulled Lanxiao back, and said anxiously: "Lanxiao, look at me! Something is wrong!"&1t;/p>
But I even pulled it a few times, and Yuanxiao was indifferent. Yuanxiao's reaction made me wonder. According to his personality, he was more active than anyone else when encountering such a thing. But this time he ignored me.&1t;/p>
I turned my head curiously and looked at Lantern Festival, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you talk? I have some problems here!"&1t;/p>
Yuanxiao still didn't look at me, her eyes were a little dull. He opened his mouth until I pushed him and said, "Don't talk about your side for now, I, there is even more trouble here!!"&1t;/p>
I was startled by him and asked hurriedly: "What a big trouble?"&1t;/p>
Yuanxiao shook the flashlight in his hand, "You can see it yourself."&1t;/p>
I turned around and looked at the light of the Lantern Festival, but I found that there were only some bones in the ground ahead. The only thing that caught my attention was the skull of one of them. But I don’t understand, what’s worth it for Lantern Festival to become like that. We are not just a student who has just left school and have experienced so many things. It’s so common to see such a skull in such a place.&1t;/p>
I was about to open my mouth to ask about Lantern Festival, but before I could speak, I suddenly noticed that the skull seemed to be a little abnormal, and some white and transparent things flowed out of its eyes. My heart couldn't help but feel cold. Could it be that the skull would still shed tears? And when I went further and looked carefully, my scalp suddenly became numb!&1t;/p>
What flowed out of the eyes of the skull was not tears, nor liquid, but also a long list of transparent bugs connected to the end!&1t;/p>
Thinking of the corpse of the mountain rat just now, I suddenly understood why the mountain rat died so strangely! It was these little bugs that did it! The experience I had at Langbeile’s store is still fresh in my memory. That terrifying scene still occasionally appears in front of me.&1t;/p>
It is this transparent little bug that instantly sucks the flesh and blood of the animals, leaving only an empty skin! I didn't expect to meet them again here!&1t;/p>
A layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on my head. Fortunately, we didn't touch them when we first flipped in, otherwise we wouldn't know how we died!&1t;/p>
My head buzzed and buzzed. I was about to retreat to Yuanxiao and asked with a stuttering stutteringly: "Yes, is it that kind of insect?"&1t;/p>
Yuanxiao nodded, "It should be the kind in Langbeile's store!"&1t;/p>
"What should I do?"&1t;/p>
"What else can I do? Run!" As he said that, Yuanxiao pulled me, turned around and flipped out of the sacrificial pond.&1t;/p>
The sound of Lantern Festival running seemed to alarm the transparent insects. They turned in one direction and swam straight towards me. I dared not be negligent, so I immediately ran away.&1t;/p>
When I jumped out of the sacrificial pool, I found that many people were coming and going around, and some flashlights were shaking constantly.&1t;/p>
I glanced around and soon the second uncle was seen. He and Yuan An were looking at each sacrificial pool one by one, and it seemed that they were looking for something.&1t;/p>
I quickly ran over, grabbed my second uncle, and said anxiously: "Second uncle, something big happened!! Those pools are very dangerous! Call someone out!"&1t;/p>
But unexpectedly, Uncle Er did not show any surprised expression, but just grabbed me, looked carefully, and asked, "Are you okay?"&1t;/p>
