Mysterious Tomb Chapter 144: The Puppet's Appeal
I am not a puppet and I don’t understand the idea of such dead objects at all. Since they are afraid of me for some reason, then take the opportunity to leave.
In this way, we walked out carefully in front of everyone's eyes. The puppet man gave us a gaze and slowly dispersed wherever we walked, and then gradually gathered together, not seemingly intending to leave.
I circled around the lake, but there was no way out except for the dense forest. Even humans had no way to open up in a short period of time. Could it be that those five guys really disappeared?
Just now, when I was circling around the lake, I also paid attention to the bottom of the lake, but I didn’t see any abnormalities underground.
It's not because the bottom of the lake is turbid, but because the inside is too clear, it can be seen clearly at a glance, and there is no abnormality inside at all.
"What should I do now?" While asking Lao Chao, I focused my last hope on the hanging natural pot above my head.
It seems that there is enough space to enter at the mouth of the waterfall. What will be inside? Will it be the destination?
I asked Lao Chao, but he held my arm and looked carefully. When I noticed it, I found that my arms were constantly lying outwards with black water, dripping and unable to stop.
Lao Chao looked at me with a serious expression, "Shopkeeper Shang, the injury has accelerated, and I can't do anything now." He was trembling when he heard his voice.
Just as we were talking, we suddenly saw a puppet man pounced over. When we found out, we had already arrived in front of us and could not avoid it.
Lao Chao was already full of anger. When he saw the puppet man trying to commit an offense, his eyes turned red. He roared and wanted to fight the puppet man to death. He looked quite afraid of people.
Unexpectedly, the puppet man squatted down. Without waiting for us to exclaim, several puppet man rushed up, and together with the one just now, they surrounded not far away in front of our feet, which was a rustling sound.
When Lao Chao and I looked at each other and looked at each other with suspicion, we saw them lying on the ground, gathering beside the black blood dripping from my arm just now, shaking our heads one by one, as if we were smelling the smell.
What is this for? When I was having a question mark, more puppets flocked to me.
Soon, they had surrounded the dirty blood and began to scratch and rub against their faces.
Regardless of whether the puppets had any dirty blood in their hands, they all looked intoxicated. Looking at their palms, holding a lot of soil and weeds, rubbing their faces, as if they were crazy.
Seeing this, Lao Chao suddenly pulled my arm and turned around and ran away. It was so fast that I didn’t have time to react. Asking him the reason, Lao Chao looked ugly, and staring at the puppets was just two words: "Danger"!
With strange screams, the puppets twisted their bodies and actually chased after them.
But this time, unlike just now, the target was me! Because the closest puppets were like evil ghosts rushed out of hell, swaying their teeth and claws, constantly reaching out to scratch at me. That way, it seemed like I owe them their lives, and now it's time to repay them!
After avoiding the attack several times in a row, we finally reached the roots of Xuanhu Mountain. At first we were worried that there was no way to escape, but we didn't expect that there was a stone staircase here.
However, the location is quite hidden, and it cannot be discovered without being close to checking.
The stone staircase is obviously made by manpower and has rough workmanship, just to reach the top, and does not require beauty or meticulousness. Now it has become our life-saving straw. At least with it, it is much more convenient to climb the mountain, and it will not be caught up by the puppets.
"Shopkeeper Shang, you're thinking simple! Take a look, it's easy for us to get up, and they are the same!"
I looked back in the direction of Lao Chao's finger and saw the rolling puppets, pressing each other against each other to get up to the stone stairs. The speed is so fast that it is amazing. At least it should be easy to catch up with us.
Countless empty eyes, bluffed mouths, desperately trying to grab the target's hands. In this situation, and with the current geographical location, I really have the illusion that I fell into a deep abyss and fell into the demon pond. The evil ghosts under my feet wanted to revive their souls, so they had no choice but to ignore morality or rules, squeezed and dragged each other, and tried their best to chase us. What a fucking horror!
It is said that it is not difficult for people to be motivated to do things. I was originally reluctant to participate when I climbed a mountain and beaten to death. With this free time, I would rather find a place to cat.
But now there are countless pursuers, and if you are not careful, you will end up smashing your bones. The lazy, fatigue and reluctance are not felt at all. What I think in my mind is that it is not to be caught by the puppets, even if you can live for one more second, it will be good, and you will be willing to pay any cost for this.
So a racing race was launched on the side of the mountain, which was really hard to fight!
After a while, Lao Chao and I arrived at the top of the mountain, which was the mouth of the hanging pot, where the waterfall came out. Here, there were rumbling sounds in our ears. Even if the two were more than ten centimeters apart, it would be difficult to hear the contents clearly when we talked to each other.
I need to open my mouth slightly at all times, for fear of being deafed by the sound of the waterfall.
Fortunately, the mouth of the pot is tilted towards the sky, and the water flow is tilted down entirely by the impact force. There is only a little more than half a person at the narrower mouth of the pot. If you want to get in, you need to bow forward. Going further, the space slowly becomes larger. Although you can straighten up, because the water flow is too fast, the walls are covered with moss slippery and sticky, and there is no safe place to stand.
Now Lao Chao and I were forced to get into the mouth of the pot, and supported our bodies with the help of our backs and limbs. There was a whirl of water under our feet. It seemed that if we accidentally rush into the water, we might be washed away quickly without any chance of struggling.
Thinking about the height of the lake water here, looking at the rapid impact, I couldn't help but stretch my neck, swallowing hard, and only felt my hands and feet trembling.
Just when I was at a loss, a puppet man rushed up to grab my ankle. Unfortunately, the stickiness and slippage of the four walls was also as fatal to them. When his body leaned forward and exerted force, he lost his balance and fell into the water. Sure enough, he saw it disappear in a flash.
The rumbling sound of water still exists, and I don’t know the moment it falls, or it knows whether it knows fear and despair. In short, when I saw this miserable scene with my own eyes, I couldn’t help but tremble.
At this time, Lao Chao pinched my shoulder because the sound of water was too loud and he couldn't hear clearly, so he could only raise his hand and point behind him. The meaning was very obvious. We had no time to sigh at the thoughts of the puppets, and it was difficult to protect ourselves at this time.
They grabbed me suddenly, and the two of them cooperated with each other and rubbed forward little by little with the help of their backs. During the process, many puppets were washed away. No matter how hard they struggled, it was useless.
Gradually, we had a certain distance from the puppet. Now we were wet, and we couldn't figure out whether it was hot sweat or wet by splashes. In short, there was only one thought in our mind, that is, the farther we ran, the better.
Walking further, the space on both sides expanded rapidly, and Lao Chao and I could no longer borrow each other.
There is no way, now I can only ask for more blessings. So I stood shoulder to shoulder with my nails scratching the inner wall, my feet and back were as stable as possible and began to rub up a little bit.
During this period, I even rubbed a lot of moss on the inner wall, and even chopped my nails, so I didn't dare to relax.
After walking for another period, I began to feel my limbs trembling, but this time I realized that it was really exhausted, almost exhausting every trace of strength in my body.
Looking at the distant way out and watching the untiring puppet man under my feet, I lost confidence in an instant, and I always felt that it was better to accept my fate and forget it now.
Since childhood, my life has been very unhappy. Now negative emotions are rushing all over my body, and gradually even the consciousness of survival is swallowed up. Almost at the same time, my body's strength is unconsciously removed, and my hands and feet slip, and people fall into the water.
Although Lao Chao was right next to him, he couldn't imagine that I could suddenly lose the idea of living. When he found out that he wanted to rescue, he was no longer in a hurry.
Now, I plopped into the water, and I didn't have time to sink to the bottom. I was already being rushed by the rapid flow of water. My back turned into a boat board and began to rotate back and forth on the water.
Then, his body fell rapidly, and the moment before his consciousness was confused, he could see Lao Chao's terrified expression.
"It's over!"
As soon as my mind arose, I was about to close my eyes and wait for death. Unexpectedly, my body suddenly tightened, and then it seemed to be supported by countless hands and feet. It rushed out against the water flow, and then was raised high, so my life was temporarily saved.
When I was in a daze and was about to see which benefactor was saving me, I saw that I was caught by countless puppets.
They cooperated with each other, supported the inner wall in the outermost circle, and then began to gather in the middle like a big net. And I was in the middle of the net, like a butterfly caught alive, and what fate was next unknown.
At this time, Lao Chao had arrived and looked at me and the puppet people in surprise.
Soon, the puppet changed its formation again and moved me slowly out, all the way to the side, the old man was beyond reach.
After holding me firmly, Lao Chao was so excited that he couldn't speak, and the puppet people instantly disintegrated and were washed down by the ruthless water flow. The remaining puppets were actually polite to me at this time.
At this moment, it was as if they had a certain consciousness and had completely escaped from destruction and fighting, and were more like getting along with friends.
I don't know what they want to express, but when I saw that the puppets actually jumped into the water and were washed down from the waterfall, I always felt like something was missing in my heart, or when my friend left me, I couldn't breathe.
"Okay, let's go!" Lao Chao grabbed me, almost close to his ears and shouted.
I nodded and continued to move forward little by little with him in my heart.
What will be next? Is it the destination we are looking for?
Chapter completed!
