Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 93 Skeleton Heihe
Seeing that I was safe, Lao Yan grabbed the rope and climbed up without saying a word, but his leg was injured and he couldn't use his strength.And those skulls were biting him tightly but they didn't let go, the sound of rattling made my scalp tingle.

"Old Yan, hold on!"

I saw that he was going to slide a few steps after climbing a few steps, and the wound on his leg was getting worse, so I had to drag him up by the rope.

Lao Yan's face turned pale from the pain, but he still persisted.

As soon as I pulled him up, I grabbed the skull and pulled it down, but the teeth of these skulls seemed to have barbs, stabbed firmly into Lao Yan's flesh, and couldn't be pulled off at all.

"Cut it off!" Lao Yan bared his teeth in pain.

I looked at him, became cruel, and finally took out the dagger and cut off his legs. There were three heads, and I pulled them out until the bones were almost visible.After pulling them out, I threw them into the black water, tore off the clothes and gave Lao Yan a simple bandage.

The color on Lao Yan's face was gone, and after a while he said tremblingly: "I never thought there would be such witchcraft..."

"What sorcery is so weird?" I looked at the depression with a sullen face. After we left, the place slowly returned to calm, but the previous appearance of being occupied by skeletons has been deeply imprinted in my mind.

Lao Yan shook his head: "I don't know too well. It is said that the reason why the corpse exorcists can exorcise corpses is because of witchcraft. Their witchcraft can be divided into white witchcraft and black witchcraft. White witchcraft is used to drive corpses away. There are many kinds of black witchcraft, but not many people have seen it, and most of them are used to harm people, so... I suspect it is a kind of black witchcraft."

I was a little strange: "There really are such evil things? I don't know how long these skeletons have been dead, but they can still move?"

Looking at the depression that was slowly calming down, Lao Yan said with lingering fear, who knows!There are too many secrets about the Zombie Clan. These secrets are miraculous to outsiders, and they may be nothing more than a special kind of folk magic.

I asked him if he would go back now?
He shook his head and said that the weirder it is, the more it proves that we are looking for the right direction. He still wants to find a chance to go to the cave just now.

"But your injury?" I was a little worried.

Lao Yan patted my shoulder and said indifferently: "Did you see multiple injuries when you were young? What is this, just rest and rest."

Seeing that he insisted, I didn't object, and helped him to rest in a cool place on the side.

The sky soon became dark, and in Lao Yan's words, it was not possible during the day, so he wanted to try at night.I suggested that he pull the rope on the top and let me go down to look at it. He didn't object, but just warned me to yell immediately if I found something wrong.

I wrapped the rope around my waist, and just as I was about to go down to the hollow, I heard a bell ringing, and hurriedly retreated, helping Lao Yan to hide in a bush on the side.

"The corpse chaser is here again..."

I lowered my voice, Lao Yan nodded, and said that it was only two nights in the middle, and according to this frequency, the amount of carcasses needed to raise the sun god bird is too huge!
"That's right, where did they get so many corpses?" I was a little puzzled, the demand for corpses was too high, and even the black market might not be able to supply them.

Lao Yan sneered, and said that they probably had dug out all the graves in the surrounding area, after all, after a person died and was buried, no one would go to see if the body was still there.Since these people can keep supporting the sun god bird, they must have some means in this regard, otherwise where can they gather so many corpses?
Just as the two of us were discussing in low voices, the bell sounded closer. It was the same corpse chaser we saw last night. There were five corpses standing straight behind him. jump down.

The same scene was staged again, the sun god bird hovered over, pecked the corpse clean, hovered in the air for a while, and then disappeared into the forest.

"That's not right, the Sun God Bird didn't seem to stay so long last time." I rubbed the grass next to my hand, and went straight into the forest after pecking the corpse clean last time.

At this moment, the corpse exorcist suddenly turned his head and glared in our direction, and then he walked over slowly. I was so shocked by his movement that my blood seemed to stop flowing...

With a sullen face, Lao Yan pulled out the dagger from his waist, and said a few words to me silently: I was discovered!

Of course I knew I was discovered, so I also held the dagger in my hand, and whispered to Old Yan: "You hide here, I will lure him away."

Lao Yan's injury was on his leg, so he was not suitable for retreating or fighting.

"Chang'an!" He yelled, I didn't wait for him to react, I rushed out and swung my dagger at the corpse chaser.

The corpse driver moved very quickly, and he dodged my knife nimbly, and I didn't get entangled with him, and ran directly in the opposite direction.

But after running for a few seconds, I realized something was wrong—the corpse chaser didn't catch up!

I hurriedly turned around, only to see that the corpse driver had already reached the place where Lao Yan was hiding, and was about to push the bush away.

"I didn't expect the sun god bird to really exist." Seeing that he was about to find Lao Yan, I suddenly shouted: "You are descendants of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

Sure enough, when the corpse driver heard my words, he stopped the movement of his hands and looked back at me, his eyes gleaming under the moonlight: "Are you grave robbers?"

I chuckled: "So, Can Cong's Tomb is really here?"

The corpse driver knew that he had slipped his tongue, so he stopped talking, but the bell in his hand rang faster, as if he was urging something.I was in a bad mood, and while continuing to deal with him, I looked around.

As the ringing of the bell became more and more urgent, I seemed to hear the howling of the wind, even the bright moonlight dimmed a lot, and the gurgling sound that Lao Yan and I had just heard during the day rang again.

wrong!

I immediately realized the problem. During the day, the sound disappeared as soon as we climbed up, but now the sound is so close that it seems to be right next to my ear.

I hurriedly covered my ears, but because I was still holding a dagger in one hand, I could only cover one side.

The corpse exorcist smiled sinisterly: "You rats who try to disturb the rest of your ancestors, you should pay homage to them with your flesh and blood!"

In fact, I couldn't quite hear what he was saying. I only heard a buzzing for a while, and after trying to distinguish it, I got a general idea of ​​what he meant.I bit my lip, and responded coldly: "Rats? Hehe, why don't you chickens and dogs feed them with your own flesh and blood?"

"How do you know?" The corpse exorcist's ringing of the bell paused, and the sound of the wind and gurgling became weaker.

I was in a bad mood, and I slipped my tongue when I was so excited, but before I could figure out what to do, he said in a ghostly manner: "It turns out that you are the one who has been staring at us for the past few days. is you."

"Chang'an..." At this moment, Lao Yan suddenly emerged from the bushes, because he couldn't stand still because of the injury on his leg.But he didn't care at all. He walked towards the corpse driver step by step, and said in the same gloomy tone: "The ancient Shu Kingdom has long since disappeared in the long river of history. Your persistence is useless at all!"

I sweated for Lao Yan, he was standing behind the corpse chaser, if the other party attacked him, he couldn't run away at all.

But the corpse chaser didn't seem to see Lao Yan, he still stared at me eeriely, as if he wanted to make a hole in me.However, he just stared at me without any movement, not even ringing the bell, and the gurgling sounds in the depression slowly subsided.

Before I figured out what was going on, Lao Yan suddenly gave me a wink, and I suddenly remembered that when I was in Lop Nur, Lao Yan once said that he would hypnotize, so... did he hypnotize the exorcist?
"Still leaving?" Lao Yan opened his mouth without making a sound, and incidentally made a gesture asking me to try not to make a sound.

I replied to him that I understood, carefully bypassed the corpse chaser, carried the old smoke on my back and retreated for more than 20 meters before running wildly.

The corpse chaser isn't scary, but he can control the skeletons in the depression. Old Yan and I have suffered a lot, so naturally we don't dare to make trouble again.

Just as I started to run, I heard the bell ringing again, and it was obvious that the corpse driver followed.

Panting while running, I asked Lao Yan what to do?Seeing the appearance of the corpse hunters coming and going freely in this deep mountain, we know that they are very familiar with this place. If this continues, Lao Yan and I will definitely be caught up by them.

Lao Yan didn't know either, so he just told me to run first, at least stay away from the depression, so that even if I was caught up, I could fight head-to-head with the opponent!
