Chapter 16: Warning from the Road Builders!
??I lowered my body and used the sword sheath to lift the corpse over. There was a big hole in his stomach. The surrounding area of the hole was painted black and a black y-body flowed out. **** was very neat. I put the scabbard into his stomach and stirred it.
It was empty inside and all the internal organs had been eaten.
"It should be that I enter his body first and then eat from the inside out."
The demon said.
Her words made me feel cold behind my back and I quickly spoke.
"Are you dead or alive at that time?"
"Look at his hideous expression, do you think he is dead or alive?"
"hiss…………"
"Well, if I entered my body, I would rather commit suicide than suffer."
I took a breath of air, got up and put away my sword, looked at the road ahead, and a hint of fear arose in my heart. I was so scared that I quickly stabilized my mind. I was timid if I didn't enter. Not only was it embarrassing, it also affected my combat effectiveness.
"Let's go, don't talk, always pay attention to the movements under your feet, and run away as soon as something strange happens."
"Oh, no, defend quickly!"
“……………………”
Yaomei looked at me in a cold sweat, and I laughed a few awkwardly. Recently, the tongue error has become more and more serious.
I walked in front, Xiao Shi was on his shoulders and Yao Mei's eyes never stopped and turned.
The black soil under your feet is very soft, and when you step on it, it is like stepping on cotton. Each foot will leave a clear footprint on it.
But something strange happened. According to the principle, such a damp soil would definitely stick to the shoes between the feet. But I looked down and looked at it several times. There was no difference between my heels on the yellow sand, so clean that there was no dirt.
This is bad news. The soil is wet and does not stick to shoes. There is only one place where this happens, that is, the corpse-raising site.
Because the y-qi in the corpse-raising area is sucked into the soil in large quantities, it will become a suction cup. When the soil is driven, it will be sucked back by the suction cup. This is why there are so many swamps in the corpse-raising area.
But it is impossible to appear in a desert. If it is a corpse-raising land, there is another possibility, that is, artificial land. This type of corpse-raising land is also called cold land, which is not a swamp, as the name suggests. However, a formation is artificially arranged in a certain place and a large amount of cold air is sucked into the defined range. In this way, a small amount of water can be used to create a corpse-raising land.
I remember the old man told me about this kind of division of land, as well as the corpses and creatures they have raised, and he once said something that needs special attention.
However, because I didn't pay much attention, I couldn't remember it for a while.
I thought hard for a long time, but still didn't expect it.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing my entangled look, Yaomei couldn't help but speak, staring at me with her eyes.
"It's okay, let's keep going"
I shook my head and continued to rush. As I walked, the footsteps of the group suddenly became blurred. We walked about a kilometer away from the body.
The footprints on the ground have completely disappeared, whether they are human or horse.
"Stop, can't leave anymore"
I quickly grabbed Yao Mei and frowned and looked at the dark land in front of me. The formation of the land was particularly strange. There was a shape about four meters wide in the middle, which was composed of black earth sacs. On both sides, you could clearly see the sand wall of thirty or forty centimeters high formed by yellow sand. The black earth sacs and yellow sand combined together, allowing the flowing yellow sand to form a sand wall like a guardrail, surrounding the black earth sacs.
Overall, you will be surprised to find that the black earth sac forms a winding road that extends into the darkness.
"Why do we go on the yellow sand?"
The demon said.
I shook my head, thinking about the purpose of this construction, and combined with the types of corpse-raising places recorded in the ghost story.
"Nine, the combination of corpse-raising land and death road"
Xiao Shi suddenly spoke on his shoulder. When I heard this, I suddenly realized it and slapped my thigh and said happily.
"I know this thing"
"What?"
"This is called the road to heaven. There must be a huge stone gate ahead, and behind the stone gate is an oasis. The peddler who rushed to the scene said one thing."
"The oasis is a paradise in the desert!"
"The oasis is a paradise in the desert?"
Yaomei was still very confused and looked at me with confusion.
"The road under our feet is composed of corpse raising ground and death road. The road of death was recorded at the end of the Qin Dynasty. It is said that this route consists of countless corpses' blood and soil after death. After years of precipitation, this black soil evil path finally forms. None of them can survive because it is covered with a powerful curse."
"But after we left so much, we didn't feel uncomfortable?"
"Look back and look behind you"
When Yaomei heard this, she immediately turned her head and looked behind her, and was immediately frightened and her body trembled.
"We have no footprints, and there are still camels?"
The demon cried out.
The camel has been following us all the time, but now it has disappeared for no reason.
"I doubted that since their footprints became blurred, you think that human weight will leave traces on this soil quality. Even if human beings can't keep it, the horse carrying the weight will definitely stay, but when you look ahead, there is no trace at all."
I pointed to the road of death ahead and said in a hurry.
"Yes, but what does this mean? Maybe the soil was automatically closed, which caused the footprints to disappear, and the camel might not have noticed it, and it might not have been followed by it even though it was behind it."
"We came in from the outside, not from the inside, right?"
Seeing that Yaomei was still confused, I was going to explain it to her slowly.
"Uh-huh"
"So why did the outside not disappear, but the inside disappear? If it is automatic closing, it should be the first to close first, then the second to the next, but now it is reversed."
After hearing what I said, Yao Mei fell into deep thought and looked at me blankly.
"What's not leaving footprints?"
I continued to ask her.
"If it is a creature, then there is only a soul body"
Yaomei said slowly. As soon as she finished speaking, we both almost felt as if we were hit hard.
"Go back quickly, we've left our bodies behind."
I said in shock.
Yaomei was also frightened. The two of us turned around at the same time and ran back desperately. As the footprints under our feet became clearer, I seemed to have thought of something.
"Run according to the footprints we came in"
Yaomei nodded in panic, and we began to run back as we came, running all the way. Soon we saw the corpse, as well as the camel who was standing behind the corpse, and the camel standing aside and smashing the mouth.
"Go into your body first"
I shouted to Yaomei, we walked around the corpse and rushed into our body. We only felt a shock coming, and we suddenly opened our eyes.
One looked at the other in a daze, but suddenly his feet eased, and Yaomei's bodies and I sank down little by little.
I turned around and folded the shovel c behind me, then grabbed Yaomei and pulled it back desperately.
When the two of us climbed out, the camel had already sank, and the supplies we placed on the camel also sank.
Fortunately, Yao Mei and I were carrying important things on our backs, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses.
"Huhu, it's so scary, this ghost place"
The demon was covered in black mud and lying on the black mud, breathing heavily. From where we were lying, the whole road was like a swamp. When people walked on it, there was no chance to survive.
"This is a warning from the road builder."
As I said, I opened the black soil in front of me with one hand. There was a row of stone slabs under the black soil, with dense words carved on it, and I took a closer look.
I suddenly found that the words on the stone slab were all soul-shaking texts, as the name implies, to shake the soul out of the human body.
