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

Chapter 443 The Man Behind the Tree
With this movement, the squirming black shadow suddenly stopped as if it had sensed something, and then it turned its head suddenly. I saw that it was the big civet cat not long ago.

how is it here
Seeing that it was a civet cat, I was not afraid anymore, so I relaxed my vigilance and walked to the door immediately.The civet cat is not afraid of people. After looking at me for a while, it went about its own business. Only then did I see that it was scratching the soil on the ground with its paws, as if digging a hole, and the location of the hole was Isn't it just the place where we buried the 'year-old corpse' not long ago?
I was stunned for a moment, but I wasn't worried at all, because the old corpse was buried ten meters deep, and I wasn't afraid of being dug up by the civet cat, but it seemed a little strange to dig it up like this.I stood at the door and watched, and it was digging there, and it would look at me from time to time, as if it was human. I didn’t feel sleepy at all, but I couldn’t help being refreshed by seeing it, so I walked forward and said; " Hey, civet cat, can you understand me?"

As soon as the words fell, its digging paws stopped, and it turned to look at me, with a pair of big yellow eyes that seemed extraordinarily spiritual.

Can you really understand?Could it be that some kind of little monster has become a spirit?Things like mountain spirits are among the most talented people in heaven. To humans, it is evil to hurt human life, but to heaven, human life and beast life are no different.Therefore, people like Zhou Xuanye's attitude towards mountain spirits and ghosts is not like that shown in the movie, they want to kill demons and demons at every turn, and do justice for the heavens.On the contrary, as long as it is not too harmful, it is generally the route of peaceful coexistence.

I saw that the civet cat seemed to understand what I said, and I became even more interested. I immediately squatted down and said, "What are you doing?"

It shook its fur, stopped looking at me, turned around and continued digging, its two paws moved so fast that it had already dug a hole more than half a meter away.I originally thought that the old corpse was buried ten meters deep, and it shouldn't be able to touch it, but at its speed, I'm afraid it can really be dug out.

Immediately stopped and said: "You are not going to dig up that year's corpse, are you? Fat civet cat, let me tell you, this thing can't be dug out, it is very powerful." Waiting for it to recover by itself, I don't want to release this thing again.

Of course, the fat civet cat ignored me and just dug on its own. Seeing this, I simply stretched out my hand, and while it was digging, I was filling in the soil.

The fat civet cat's fur exploded, stopped digging, turned its head, and barked at me.It was a little bit like a house cat, and a little bit like a baby meowing.

After adding it, its digging speed suddenly accelerated, and it moved its position, pointing its butt towards me. Before I could react, the soil it dug up covered my head and face, obviously deliberately taking revenge on me .

For a moment, I was angry and funny, took a step back, and said: "Anyway, I also reminded you before that it is your benefactor. Didn't everyone say that spirits want to repay their kindness, so you treat your benefactor like this?"

The raccoon cat ignored me, but dug faster. In just a short while, it dug a meter deep.I didn't think it was a joke anymore, so I immediately reached out and grabbed the fat civet by the back of the neck, intending to pull it up, but the fat civet was quite heavy, so I didn't pull it up, it backed up and kicked my neck On the ground, the sharp claws swiped and pulled, and there was a sudden burst of burning pain.

Now I'm a little angry, and I said to myself, you fat civet cat, you have such a temper, I don't want to pay attention to you.Immediately stood up, grabbed it with both hands, and lifted it up at once.

The civet cat struggled immediately, and I decided to send it a little farther away, so I caught it, passed through a piece of broken tiles, came to a broken brick wall, and threw it out.

The civet cat was thrown by me and rolled on the ground, covered in mud and fallen leaves. It stood up and grinned at me. Its yellow eyes revealed very obvious anger, but it was just anger, nothing more. fierce look.

It seems that even if this civet cat is a spirit, it is a relatively peaceful spirit.

"If you dare to dig that hole again, I will throw you into the water next time." Cats should be afraid of water, right?
I don't know if my threat had an effect, the civet cat stopped barking, and stood there looking at me with its big fluffy tail raised high, which was a friendly gesture.

I glanced at it, and it seemed that there was no sign of madness, so I walked back with a flashlight, walked five or six steps, looked back, and found that the civet cat jumped onto a crooked old tree at some point, condescending looking at me.

I felt something was wrong, and felt that the civet cat might not let it go, but I couldn't figure out why it wanted to dig up the old corpse.

However, when I walked back to the original place, I suddenly saw a very astonishing scene.The hole that was originally dug by the civet cat for only about one meter became extremely deep at some point. The light was lowered by a dozen, and it must have exceeded ten meters. And at the bottom, where are the traces of the old corpse?

At the same time, I found that the ancestral hall next to us was actually completely dark. There was originally a bonfire burning in the ancestral hall. Even if the bonfire was extinguished, there should be charcoal residues.

My first reaction was that the old corpse came out and probably attacked the rest of the people, something happened to them!

But at this moment, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, even the chirping of insects in the grass in summer has stopped.Even if that old corpse came out, that thing would most likely burn people, and it wouldn't eat people. With the abilities of Zhou Xuanye and others, it's impossible for them to be completely helpless.

But why, there is no movement at all now?
I turned the lights into the ancestral hall, and saw that there were still our equipment bags on the ground of the ancestral hall, but there was no one there. There should have been a lot of extinguished and scattered firewood in the place where the bonfire should have been.

All this proves that something must have happened during the time I was gone.

My long experience of being on the brink has taught me that even when the situation at hand seems unthinkable, it's time to stay calm.Taking a deep breath, I calmed down, and my brain became clear. The tense nerves made me feel sleepy, and my brain started to work at a high speed.

There is a lot of dust inside the ancestral hall, so there are bound to be some traces left behind.I took a look with the flashlight, and I saw a lot of chaotic footprints, but these footprints, without exception, came towards the door.Outside the door was a piece of slightly damp muddy ground. Since everyone had dug a hole in this area before, there were many footprints around it. At this moment, it was difficult to discern the whereabouts and situation of Zhou Xuanye and others after they left the door.

But among these footprints, there is still a trace that is particularly eye-catching.

It was a strip track, like some kind of large snake left when it crawled over.

The hole suddenly opened in front of me, the snake-shaped traces, and the civet cat who came to dig the hole just now, I suddenly realized that the accident that Zhou Xuanye and others suffered might be related to the big black snake I saw before.

The civet cat is obviously a monster, and ordinary snakes would never dare to eat it. The big black snake wanted to bite it before, and I thought it was a bit clever. I was really deceived by the size of the snake before. Although it is not as good as the desert The big snake in the movie, but it is definitely not something that can be killed with a stick.

Immediately, I shouted the names of Zhou Xuanye and others, and searched the ground with a flashlight. Although the footprints were difficult to distinguish, the trace of the snake was very clear.Immediately, I rushed back to the ancestral hall, took the weapon, and then followed the snake-shaped mark to find it.

In the dark, I shouted the names of Zhou Xuanye and others, but no one answered me. There are only two possibilities for this situation, one is that something happened, and the other is that they have gone away.It didn't take me long to lose the civet cat, so in such a short period of time, everyone shouldn't be able to go too far.

That being the case, there is only the first case.

What exactly is the big black snake, and what is the situation of Zhou Xuanye and others?
The snake prints stretched all the way into the weeds, and the weeds had obvious traces of being crushed, which did not hinder my search.I walked slowly along the way, and before I knew it, I walked out of the area of ​​the dilapidated building. With the light of the flashlight, I saw that there were many ancient trees and rocks around, and it was quite difficult to walk, but the snake mark disappeared when it arrived here without a trace.

There are many rocks in this place, the rocks are covered with moss, and the heights are scattered, forming many large and small gaps. I wondered in my heart, did the big black snake get into some of the gaps?
Snakes that grow naturally are generally good at finding natural gaps as caves. The big snake disappeared here, and there may be stone caves around it.

Immediately afterwards, I thought again, could it be that Zhou Xuanye and the others were dragged into the snake den?The thought sent shivers down my spine.

"Boss! Dumb! Brother Zhou! Aunt Ke!" I didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly looked around for possible clues with the flashlight, but I shouted around, but there was no response at all, only my own voice was silent. In the dark night, it seemed extraordinarily deserted.

The mountain wind in the summer night was actually a little cold, and I shivered when it blew, and at this moment, in the darkness, someone suddenly called back: "I am here!" The voice came from the right, and I will When the lights were turned on, there were dense forests over there, and there were old trees as thick as two people hugging each other everywhere, and no one could be seen at all.

"Who is it?" I asked one more question. It should be that the other party replied too quickly just now, and the tone seems to be a little strange, a little strange.I saw a lot of weird things, so I couldn't help but be more careful.

I asked this question, but the other party didn't respond.

"Boss?" I yelled, but the other party still didn't reply.

Just when I was wondering, a human face appeared from behind a big tree not far away. It was Tan Ren's face, as if he was peeping at me. To be honest, Tan Ren and Peeping are two The word does not match at all, so at this moment, I have a strong sense of disobedience.

He held out his hand and gestured to me, beckoning me to come over.

I didn't move.

"You are not Tan Ren, who are you!"
