Thousand Lantern Night

Fatty unloaded a cock from his back and shot right above our heads.He moved so fast that when Poker Fing said "Don't worry, let's go", the zongzi at the hole about three or four meters above us had already been shot.

I don't know what the texture of the zongzi is, but it caught fire with a bang after two shots, and the dry wood was blazing.

Now the space is bright.I looked up and glanced over, and there were many slow-moving zongzi crawling out of the black hole in the stone wall of this domed shrine-like space.That number is like sounding the rallying call.I could feel my scalp tingling.

I evaluated the current team's combat effectiveness. Xiaohua was injured and obviously couldn't fight for a long time, so with Poker Bottle, Fatty and my overall strength--it can't deal with so many zongzi!

While struggling, Poker-Face said flatly, "It's okay. They won't attack."

Xiaohua also interjected: "The corpse breeders use the secret sound to control the attack of the zongzi. As long as they don't accept the call from the secret sound, they will not be aggressive. Let's go."

The fat man put away the gun and muttered: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I wasted a round of ammunition."

Xiaohua ignored him.The little brother remained silent as always, just pulling me forward.The fat man suddenly became embarrassed, and chased after Xiao Hua and asked, "Oh, Master Hua! Master Xie! Tell me what a corpse breeder is! Hey, descendants of the Nine Schools, masters, masters, tell me!"

I secretly thought it was funny, turned my head and looked at those zongzi dancing wildly, how could I feel that this scene was super joyful.A bunch of zongzi are twisting and turning like a mechanical dance. This is the rehearsal. How about going to the □□ Square to perform at the National Day and the Spring Festival tomorrow?

After walking for a while, the fat man was finally too tired to scream, and Poker Face suddenly said: "The corpse breeders are a race in Miaojiang in the legend. They are good at using dead people, using a special method to prevent them from deteriorating and domesticating them." , regard them as weapons of war. They call the dead corpses that have been domesticated successfully ghost drop. The corpse breeders have a special call to control ghost drop and order them to attack. The name he just said is trying to Awaken the decomposed corpse."

What Poker-Face said was very general, but I can roughly imagine what kind of tough war we would have faced if Qinai hadn't been knocked unconscious just now.

We walked for a while, and suddenly the fat man behind us yelled, "Yo Hua'er, can you make it? How about I carry you?"

Looking back, Xiao Hua was holding her abdomen with one hand and propping herself up on the stone wall with the other, looking very bad.Just as the fat man was about to go up to help him, Xiao Hua pushed him away suddenly, "Get out!" almost sternly.

I'm a little surprised.Although Xiaohua doesn't like fat people, he is not usually so unmannered.From this, I judge that Xiaohua's situation is really bad to a certain extent.He pushed the fat man away, and he couldn't stand still, kneeling on the ground on one knee, as if he couldn't stand up.

I quickly turned around to help him.Xiao Hua struggled to stand upright, panted and leaned against the stone wall, and said directly, "Go ahead first."

He meant to leave him alone.According to the ancestral precepts of the Xie family, everyone shoulders their own burdens and no one is obliged to take responsibility for others. Therefore, when encountering such a situation, they will overcome difficulties and strive to survive, while others must continue to complete the agreed tasks.

I frowned at him.

Many things from the past flashed through my mind.

I know that I will never leave anyone behind.Even if such a decision is very irrational in a critical situation.

I shook my head, indicating that Poker Bottle should take a rest.

Xiao Hua said: "No one has the right to make decisions. We all know that we must get things out as soon as possible, and if we get stuck, who can guarantee that everyone will be safe? Wu Xie, remember what I said, no matter what the situation is, you can only use Minimal sacrifice!"

I gritted my teeth and looked at him.

Of course I do.When I was exploring the cave with him, Xiaohua said that it was very irrational for me to take the risk of turning back to rescue him.In his view, everyone must take responsibility for themselves.

Xiaohua was expressionless, and even had a bit of a murderous look on her handsome face.He said, "Wu Xie, go forward."

I clenched my teeth even tighter.I'd love to punch him over and carry him on my shoulders.But I also know that Master Hua has the pride of Master Hua, and he will never allow that.

The fat man came up and put his arms around my shoulders, and brought me forward with half pressure and half hug: "You are innocent and obedient, Mr. Hua will handle it. We will wait for him up front. With Mr. Hua's ability, I still have to count on you, right? You It's not just worrying about-"

The fat man has a strong physique, and I couldn't turn my head back when I was hugged by him, and I knew in my heart that he wanted to avoid everyone's embarrassment, so I had to follow silently.Poker-Face was already ahead for a while, and the fat man pushed me to keep up.

When I turned a corner, Xiaobai came out of my chest and licked my chin.The warm, cool and moist feeling woke me up. I looked at Xiaobai and thought of the fine snake scales covering Qinglin's face. I suddenly wanted to slap myself.

Xiaohua is clearly holding on!The fact that he didn't want me to see it meant he couldn't be worse off!

I pushed the fat man away violently, and ran back.The fat man let out an "hey" behind me and shouted, "Brother! Stop Tian Zhen!"

When I stumbled back and ran back, I saw Xiao Hua knelt on the ground and curled up into a ball.He pressed down on the stone firmly with one hand, and the nails were full of blood.

I didn't know what mood I was in at that moment, I really wanted to yell at him: "Do you think this is handsome!" I went up to break his hand with red eyes, and pulled the clothes on his abdomen with all my heart.

Xiaohua's face turned blue, she couldn't make a sound, she just tried to push me away.But he couldn't use any force at all. During the dispute, he suddenly bit my wrist.

The cold teeth cut through my skin, blood came out, and Xiaohua's eyes suddenly opened wide.He then took a deeper bite, nearly snapping my wrist off.When the fat man came up to fend him off and gave him a hand knife, my wrist was already bloody.

"Oh my god, brother, bandage Tianzhen!" The fat man yelled to the back as he supported the fainted Xiaohua.But then he muttered: "Where is his mother's little brother?"

I just noticed that my little brother was gone.Grinning my teeth, I held my injured hand, alert in my heart: Is there something going on in front of me?I poked the fat man and told him to follow quickly. The fat man bandaged me casually, sighed and carried Xiao Hua on his back, and followed the direction the little brother was walking just now.

After walking for a while, the fat man suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh, I'll wipe it! Could it be Quedan?"

He glanced at me and explained: "We were chasing the guy who pretended to be you before, but later found that the guide was following us secretly. In order to prevent them from responding to each other, I asked Feng Ying and the others to follow the fake naive, and I turned back Catch that tattooed monster. I chased and chased, and felt that the caves in this place seemed to be interconnected, just like snake caves, so I couldn’t catch him. Then I ran into a guy pretending to be you somehow, and that’s it. There's a fight."

I opened my mouth in surprise while listening, and said to the fat man with gestures: "How is it possible? Brother and the others said that Quedan has been killed by their joint efforts! There is no way they will miss."

The fat man thought about it for a while, and shook his head: "Impossible, your fat grandpa can't be mistaken. It's that weird guy!"

I don't know what to say.Anything can happen in this kind of place, what the fat man said is the truth.So, is it true that Dan has an immortal body?

The fat man asked me suddenly: "Naive, that guy said he is a Shouling clan. Do you know what happens to the Shouling clan?"

Shouling people?As the name suggests, they are the clans that live near the mausoleum. Generally speaking, their destiny is to pass on from generation to generation, and to do the work of guarding and maintaining the mausoleum forever.

The fat man shook his head: "This is only what it looks like on the surface. In fact, since ancient records of dynasties, almost all rulers have been seeking the secret method of immortality. The fate of the Shouling people is actually bait."

饵？

Fat people seldom speak seriously, so I am not used to it.So when he said that word, I didn't have much reaction.Just an "ah" to signal him to continue.

"I said naive, do you know what bait is?"

nonsense.I pointed to my mouth, isn't it something to eat?

The fat man nodded: "That's right. The bait is the feed. The Shouling people are specially used as feed to feed the royal family who died in pursuit of immortality."

A strong nausea rushed up my throat in an instant, I pressed my chest unbearably, and almost spit it out.

However, the fat man didn't mean to be joking at all, and continued: "In the early days, those who guarded the tomb were all convicted people. You think criminals are already dead, so why don't you let them use their residual energy? Although dirty, but This is also a real thing. Later, the rulers allowed those sinners to form villages to live in and allow them to reproduce, but they must abide by a rule: when the tomb needs feed, there must be someone from the mausoleum to feed it.”

I started retching.Then, while suppressing the acid water that was rising up, I remembered what Que Dan said: "Our family lives in isolation in this desolate Gobi, and its influence has become smaller and smaller. We even suspect that it is just It's a lie. I don't want my descendants to continue this kind of life, so I want money so that they can leave here, go to a prosperous place like yours, and live a normal life."

That's right.As a clan bearing such a fate, they must hate this way of raising them in their hearts.Until now, there is no power to restrain them, so they must be eager to end this fate, right?But judging from Quodan's approach, if he just wanted to destroy this place where countless people of his tribe were buried, he didn't need to let us die at all.About the man-eating mountain, and the feeding of living things that keeps some kind of power going—I rubbed my temples, and just barely seemed to find the purpose of my actions.

The fat man gave me a hand: "We have to catch up with the little brother quickly, and don't let those insidious guys take advantage of it."

At this time, there was another burst of piano sound in front of him.I looked around nervously, don't let a group of half-stone, half-human monsters come out again.But suddenly he heard the sound of an object falling to the ground in front of him, and then Poker Bottle appeared: "Don't go forward, the place where the sound is made is above."
