The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 40 The Ancient Well
I stared at the footprints at the door, and I was overjoyed, so I immediately went in to check, to see if I could find any clues.

Entering the house, the first thing that catches the eye is a pile of dark bonfires on the ground, and some plastic bags can be seen around the ashes. In addition, the footprints inside are very messy. It seems that the A group of people had once been quartered in this room, probably overnight.

We speculated before that the group of people were either tourists, or an expedition team or a treasure robbery gang. Now that they are found in this oasis, the possibility of the latter can be ruled out.

These days, many people who have time like to explore to find the meaning of life. Han Zitong said that she has met many such people. The reliable ones are fine, and many unreliable ones are often in danger or trapped in deep mountains and old forests. Li began to regret it, and then called the police, mobilizing a large number of police forces to rescue.In her words, if you don’t have two brushes, don’t learn from foreigners to form an expedition team.

I reckoned that this group of people should undoubtedly be the expedition team. I walked around the room, but there was no information left by them except for some garbage.

I fiddled with the ashes a few times, feeling a little disappointed, when I suddenly heard a rustling sound behind me.

This sound immediately pulled my thoughts away. At this moment, my back is facing the gate, and there are dense vegetation outside the gate. This rustling sound seems to be the sound of some animal disturbing the vegetation.I immediately turned around and looked back, and sure enough I saw the plants on the ground trembling.

The ground plants here are mostly vines and seed grasses, and there are many kinds of cacti. Because the ground is covered by plants, there are many holes. Walking in it, one inattentive, tripping and stepping on the air Needless to say, it is easy to be pierced by plants such as cacti.

At this moment, there seemed to be something crawling under the vines and seedling grass, causing the plant leaves on the surface to vibrate and rustle between frictions.

This movement is quite loud, I thought to myself, what kind of animal is it?Could it be a snake that can crawl under the vegetation?It really made me guess right. After observing for a while, I found that there were indeed snakes under the vegetation.I'm not a biologist either, except for the more common and well-known snakes, I don't know the rest.

Right now, this snake is appearing and disappearing in the grass, only its black back with diamond-shaped patterns is exposed. I don't know what species it is, but although it doesn't show the whole picture, it is at least as thick as a baby's arm, and it can be considered a big snake.

This oasis is uninhabited, and it is normal for animals and plants to flourish, so I was not too surprised. In order not to disturb the diamond snake, I squatted in place and did not move, planning to wait for it to go far away.

But soon, something felt wrong to me.

Why is this snake so long?
Due to the lush vegetation, I can only see the back of the snake through the gaps exposed between the vegetation. It has been swimming forward. It stands to reason that a snake is only about one meter long, but I squatted in place for a long time. Although the back of the snake has been swimming away, it has not disappeared at all.

I was a little nervous, thinking what kind of strange snake is this?

In order to see clearly, I stood up lightly. The higher I stood, the wider the coverage of the line of sight. When I saw this, I almost didn’t make a sound. It was full of black shadows, as if it was not a snake, but a large number of snakes swimming forward in groups.Because their bodies are darker in color and there are too many of them, one connected to the other and squeezed together, I didn't even notice it before, and thought it was a snake.

Snakes are very sensitive animals, I believe they must have found me, but they simply did not attack me.Snakes generally do not actively attack people. On the contrary, they are actually afraid of people, so there is such a word as "to scare the snake".In ancient times, when people walked on mountain roads, where there were many weeds, they would beat with a stick in front of them. The snake sensed the movement and slipped away without waiting for anyone to approach.

Of course, most of the incidents of snake biting people are nothing more than two situations. One is that some people are afraid of snakes when they see them.Second, although snakes like to migrate, they are also very territorial. When humans and snakes meet head-on, they either stay still or run. Of course, the premise is that you have the confidence to run past it.If it rashly enters its territory and arouses its sense of territory defense, the snake will take the initiative to attack people.

My current situation is relatively regular, I am not in the middle of the snake group, I am standing in the room in a regular manner, neither making a sound nor hitting, probably because of these reasons, they are not interested in me.

Thank you Animal World, otherwise I would have been scared to death.

Seeing that they didn't mean to hurt me, I calmed down and planned to wait and see what happened, and make plans after they were all gone.At the same time, I also felt strange in my heart, how could so many snakes gather in one place?Snakes are not social animals.

They are now heading east in groups. Is there anything in the east that attracts them?

My search range is in the east. Now that I'm on the same road with these snakes, don't I have to change my plan?These thoughts were only in my mind for a moment. About 5 minutes later, the group of snakes finally left. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the room, hesitating whether to continue walking east.

At this moment, standing where I am, at a glance, there are still many houses covered by plants. It can be seen that the residential area in the east is very wide. In addition, traces of human beings were found in this house , then the possibility of those people going east is very high.

After thinking about it, I decided to follow up and check. As long as I don't get too close to the snakes, it should be fine, right?

Thinking about it this way, I found a wooden stick on the ground and held it in my hand. I walked forward while exploring the road. I was worried about meeting your snakes, so I walked slowly. In this way, the search will be easier. Meticulous, as expected, about a hundred meters away, I really found a well.

The surface of the well is also covered by vegetation, and vines are climbing on it. At first glance, it is impossible to find the well.If I hadn't walked slowly, so I looked very carefully, I might have missed it.

Seeing this ancient well, I suddenly had a thought: that person's companion would be in the well, did he step on his foot and fall into the ancient well?

According to the degree of camouflage of this ancient well, this possibility is really quite high.

Thinking of this, I squatted down and observed the mouth of the well, and found that the plants at the mouth of the well were densely packed. If someone really fell into it from here, or climbed out of the well, then these plants would definitely not be so complete and dense.

It doesn't look like this well.

I got up and was about to leave, but at this moment, I seemed to hear something coming up from the ancient well, like some kind of echo, which was not very real.

There is no wind from the valley cave, and no echo from the empty valley. If there is nothing in the well, how can it echo again?

There is no wind at the moment, so it cannot be the echo of the wind.

When I heard this, I paused as I was about to leave. What if someone is in this well?It's better to confirm more.

Immediately, I removed the plants on the surface of the wellhead, and looked down. The inside of the well was dark, as if there was no water, and the walls of the well were very dry, but the well was very deep, and the sunlight could not penetrate, so it was pitch black inside. Yes, I can't see anything clearly.

I called out: "Is anyone there?" Suddenly, the voice echoed in the ancient well.

Before the echo dissipated, a black figure suddenly came up from the ancient well in the darkness. The speed of that thing was so fast that I didn't even have time to be surprised and scared. go.

In the next second, I fell headfirst into the well, and fell into the dark and narrow mouth of the well. This feeling is terrifying.The first impression of a well is that it is deep, and the second is narrow. Falling into such a place means not seeing the sun.

Of course, if there is water in the well, it will be even worse. Those who fall on their feet can persist for a while if they can swim, and they can even climb up the well.But if you fall into the well with your head down, even if you can swim, you will not be able to turn over in the well, and you can only drown alive.

So at this moment, I didn't even think about what was grabbing me, I just instinctively felt a great fear of falling into the well.
