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

Chapter 60 Soul

A picture appeared in my mind, Qiu Huangxi was swallowed whole by the giant python, and then came out from the inside, tearing open the giant python's belly.

is it possible?

Of course it is impossible, because although the giant python swallows the whole thing, the huge pressure will make the bones of the swallowed animal crushed, that is to say, no matter whether you are dead or alive before being swallowed, after being swallowed , will definitely not survive.

Assuming that the bones were all broken, how could Qiu Huangxi tear open the giant python's belly?Besides, she is not a zombie. Even if a normal person survived in the python's stomach, how could she tear the snake's belly open with bare hands?

Could it be that Zhou Xuanye did something wrong?He can manipulate Qiuhuangxi to crawl out of the vertical hole, so it seems that it is not difficult to manipulate her to crawl out of the snake's belly?Now that Tan Ren brought me to this place, is it because of this giant python?

Could there be some clues on this giant python?
Thinking of this, I suppressed my nausea, squatted down and began to search the body of the giant python. The snake body was washed by groundwater, and there was no blood in the body, only the whitened flesh was left. The body of the snake exuded a strong stench .I rummaged around for a long while, and I actually found something.

At the position where the giant python was close to seven inches away, I found a very strange thing.It's a black, longan-sized thing that looks like a pill.I squeezed it hard and it was hard.

what is this?
stone?

It is very normal to have stones in animals. For example, bezoar is a medicinal material processed from cow gallstones. It is not uncommon to find some large stones in the body of some large animals, but the black one in front of me The stones are smooth and smooth, and there seems to be a layer of dark light on the surface, which is very strange.

I held it in my hand and looked at it for a while, and I didn't know why the stone had grown into a round shape, but suddenly I remembered the saying that a snake becomes a spirit, and I thought, could this really be a good snake? , this thing can't be its inner alchemy, right?

For things like mountain spirits and monsters, my knowledge is limited to TV dramas. Of course, this idea is just a flash. After all, reality is not a TV drama, let alone a novel. How can it be so easy to encounter such legendary things as snake spirits? arrived?
If it was really a snake spirit, how could it be so easy to be killed by Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye?
Thinking of this, I continued to search for the snake's body. In the end, I almost searched the whole snake inside and out, and found nothing strange.I couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and said to the air: "Boss, what exactly are you trying to tell me, can you remind me?"

The only thing that responded to me was the rumbling sound of groundwater and a dark wind blowing from nowhere.

The wind was mixed with water vapor, and it was bone-chillingly cold. I squinted my eyes and looked towards where the wind was blowing.

If there is wind, there must be an exit, but the place where the wind blows is downstream.

what should I do?
Should I sit on the ground and wait for death, or give it a go?
You might say, if you stay where you are, you will die sooner or later, since you will die, why not try your luck?In fact, everyone understands the truth, and I naturally know this truth, but when a turbulent underground river is really in front of you, when you know that there are huge piranhas in the river, when you have tried it once, When you are hit and suffocated like a stone, do you really have the courage to fight for this hope?

I hesitated for a long time, and what came to my mind was the feeling of falling into the water before, my body was out of control, I choked on water, suffocated, and I was thrown against the stone wall again and again. It is all luck that I have not died yet.

Do you have the courage to go through something like this again?

As time passed, besides the cold, I gradually felt hungry. This kind of hunger was not strong at first, but as time went by, it reached an unbearable level.I couldn't help looking at the giant python beside me.

Snake meat is actually a very clean thing, with little blood, white and delicate flesh, and it doesn't look disgusting.I tried to cut a thin slice, bit it with my front teeth and the tip of my tongue, and suddenly found that the meat did not have the fishy smell I imagined, but a slight sweetness. The snake meat is chewed in the mouth, it is delicate and strong, and the taste is unexpectedly good. If you add some soy sauce and wasabi, it will be perfect!

What is the use of eating a piece, but the seductive stomach is even more hungry. Hungry people scratch their hearts and livers, and the fire is burning. I don’t care about other things. I start to cut the snake meat. After cutting it, I wash it in the extremely thorough groundwater. , reluctantly found a psychological comfort, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

When he was full, there was a fist-sized hollow at the back of the snake.For some reason, looking at the part of the corpse that I had eaten, I suddenly felt a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

This feeling is inexplicable, and the reason is unknown, but it is definitely not a good idea.

I looked away, trying to distract myself.After a person is full, most of the blood runs through the stomach and intestines to help digestion and absorption. Therefore, it is often the time when the brain responds the slowest and the body is the most exhausted. This is why many people have the urge to lie on the sofa after eating.

I'm almost the same now, touching my bulging belly, the thoughts in my mind slowed down a bit, maybe it's because of the slowness, so some things can be thought clearly.For example, in my current situation, at this moment, I realize that in this situation, it is impossible for someone to save me.

Zhou Xuanye is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. I believe he will not give up on me easily, but... he does not have this ability.Even if he can manipulate corpses and master the art of refining corpses, he still cannot fight against nature.The terrain and structure here make it impossible for him to descend to where I am now.

Then, if you want to survive, if you want to fight for a chance, you can only rely on yourself.

I took a deep breath, stood by the groundwater, and said, "Boss, are you really not going to show up? I'm going to jump, do you have anything else to tell me?" There was still no movement around, But my chest suddenly became hot.

In this cold environment, this trace of heat was very clear, I was startled, and couldn't help but look down at the hot spot on my chest.It was a small pocket with my plastic lighter and my keys and the concretion I had just dug out of the python's carcass.

I opened the zipper of the pocket, and the plastic lighter was probably useless. The key was lying in the pocket, and on it was the black bead. The moment I looked at it, I suddenly found that the inside of the bead seemed to be Something flashed by.

Reminiscent of the heat just now, I suddenly realized that this bead is probably not as simple as I thought, maybe it is not a stone?I couldn't help picking it up, and looked carefully at the light of the lighter. Suddenly, I saw a human face inside the bead's muddy and unclear interior.

It was a human face with no facial features but only an outline, as if it was looking at me through the surface of the beads.

I was startled, at this moment, I heard Tan Ren's voice again: Help me...

To be precise, the sound didn't come from my ears, but from the depths of my brain. At this moment, I understood that Tan Ren was in this bead!

He appeared before to guide me to this bead!
I took a deep breath and squeezed it tightly, fearing that my hand would tremble or slip, so I threw it into the groundwater.I couldn't help but asked, "How can I save you?" Everyone is dead, and the corpses don't know where they are. How can I save you?
Also, how did Tan Ren's soul get into this bead?

Tan Ren didn't answer me, the heat of the bead disappeared, and the faces inside became more blurred. In the end, the bead turned back to an ordinary, ordinary, unremarkable, pill-like thing.The so-called art industry has a specialization. I really don't know anything about these mysterious and mysterious things. If I really want to find out what's going on, and want to 'save' Tan Ren, I'm afraid I have to find Zhou Xuanye.

No!

Can't wait any longer.

Now I'm not alone, and I still have Tan Ren's soul in my hands, I can't just wait here to die!

The courage brought by my companions is enormous. At this moment, I made a decision and said to the 'Tan Ren' in my hand: "This is the only way. If you can get out alive, Zhou Xuanye must have a way to save you. If you die It's over... Let's be two water ghosts in this ancient underground waterway, so we can be companions."

Immediately afterwards, I put the beads away, zipped up, walked along the platform to the end of the corner, took a deep breath, and jumped into the Taotao underground river.
