Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 35: Drinking blood and collapsing the heart
The Master of the Hundred Bones did not break his promise, prepared his own horses, and took Miss Qi with them to the Dead Village.
It was late at night, and Dai Luan dozed off on Mu Wan's horse. If she hadn't held the reins with her arms, she would have fallen off the horse. When she got back there, Dai Luan woke up again. She always felt that this girl was still
I haven't grown up yet, and I feel sleepy from time to time, just like a child.
She stuck her head out from the mouth of the well, and it was pitch black below. The moon was hidden in the clouds tonight, so it was hard to be sure what was below. Dai Luan threw another stone down, but no sound was heard.
"I was wrapped around my upper body by the monster and dragged directly down the well. At that time, I felt that there was water under the well and I couldn't breathe. I struggled for a long time before I escaped up the well wall. But when I came up, the traces of water on my body disappeared." Shanhai
Remembering.
Shi Wuqi walked around twice. He picked up a large stone on the ground. When he looked at the stone from side to side, they saw clearly that it was actually half a human skull.
"Ah! That's the bowl it filled with water for me."
"He was a carpenter. He died less than two hundred years ago. He had a wife and a concubine, but no children."
Dai Luan was stunned by Bai Skeleton Master's words. Mu Wan looked at him with some suspicion, but his appearance seemed like that.
"Can you know everything?" Shan Hai asked.
"The longer time passes, the less we can know; the more complete the body is, the more we know." Shi Wuqi said.
He came to the well again and threw the half skull back into the well.
Although there was no echo, other sounds came up.
Gah, crunch—
Dai Luan kept retreating.
"Master Lin, do you dare to go down with me?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Mu Wan took the rope that had been prepared earlier, but Shi Wuqi said it was not needed yet, and jumped down without hesitation. Shan Hai did not take the rope, but just took two unburned torches, and then jumped down too.
But before the two girls could react, Miss Qi, who was standing blankly by the side, suddenly jumped into the well.
Shi Wuqi raised his arms, caught her steadily, and put it down carefully. The torch burned, and Shanhai brought one of them to him, and he handed it to Miss Qi.
Without the restraints of ropes, they walked further. When they came to the place where they saw the bones, they took a few steps forward and found more bones. Most of them were buried underground. How do you look at the exposed parts?
All have human characteristics.
Miss Qi held up the fire, while Shi Wuqi leaned down and slowly stroked the broken bones with his white hands, as if comforting some small animal.
"This is a washerwoman with rheumatism; this is an old man, very stubborn; here, he is an idle man, and he has passed on many villagers' things. Well, this and the old man just now are ordinary people."
It was as natural as buying vegetables in the market. Although I had seen many monsters, this seemingly ordinary but unusual scene still made Shanhai feel a little creepy.
However, after going around in such a big circle, they still couldn't find the source of the sound just now. Even the skull that was thrown was missing, maybe it was "taken away".
"I don't think it's possible," Shi Wuqi said, "You are too yang-yang, and I - Qi doesn't count. The two big men are afraid that you won't want to show up. I think it's better to call them down."
, I think that little girl is quite suitable."
"Don't even think about it."
"Okay. Just talk, don't get excited."
As soon as they said this, the familiar voice came again. The two of them immediately became alert, tensed their nerves, and listened quietly to the location of the sound source. But it was so spacey here that it was difficult to judge.
Suddenly, Miss Qi turned her head behind her. Her face turned completely around, as flexible as an owl. Shan Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that she was just a corpse, and it was no big deal. She was born beautiful.
, as a dead person, she was "maintained" too well, and coupled with the strange talent of the Hundred Skeleton Master, she could always make people forget that she was dead.
Looking in her direction, something was approaching.
There were about a dozen relatively complete skeletons with torn and tattered fabrics hanging on their bodies, staggering toward them.
Unexpectedly, before Shanhai could figure out a countermeasure, Miss Qi suddenly rushed forward.
The sharp hand knife and the movement of her legs are perfectly coordinated, and the crisp sound of broken bones can be heard endlessly. It seems that she is in this state. Her movements are faster than the wind, sharper than a knife, and harder than a hammer. As long as
In a few clicks, a few moving bones turned into pale debris on the ground.
Finally, she grabbed a section of the spine with one hand and inserted her fingers between the ribs. It seemed that she just closed her palms easily, and the bones were crushed into pieces.
During the whole process, Shan Hai almost didn't react at all. On the other hand, Bai Skeleton Master looked as relaxed as if nothing had happened. If he hadn't clearly known that he was the one in charge of this conflict, he might have felt that he couldn't even
Not as good as a dead person.
A terrible spell indeed.
Shi Wuqi bent down, picked up a short broken bone, and examined it.
"There are more than this number of bones," he asserted. "There are more than a dozen families in this village. Even if the whole village is here, the total number of people will never exceed a hundred. But judging from the scale, it is probably more than that. This rib belongs to a little boy who has just grown up."
, but the bone is older than the old man just now. Perhaps the crazy bone has been doing evil for several generations."
"Really?" Shanhai couldn't react.
Although it was the middle of the night, apart from this inexplicable fight, the two of them found nothing, and they had never even seen the messenger behind the scenes. Returning to the bottom of the well, Shanhai asked Miss Qi if she could go up by herself.
"Usually I can just carry it on my back, but the mouth of the well is not big. Once I get up, I can throw a rope down."
So the two jumped up briskly one after the other, like two light birds. After returning to the ground, Shanhai saw the two girls making a bonfire, leaning together and feeling sleepy. A Luan fell asleep again, but Mu Wan
I slept very lightly and opened my eyes immediately when I heard the slightest movement.
Shan Hai estimated that they walked a long way down there. In addition, the battle was very fast and the underground was very deep, so the people on the ground might not be aware of what was happening below.
Mu Wan woke up Aluan, and then threw the rope down according to Shan Hai's wishes.
They could indeed feel someone grabbing the rope from below, and it was not heavy. They pulled the rope back to allow Miss Qi to come up faster. Master Bai Skeleton stood aside, seeming to be thinking about something.
When Miss Qi came up, she was about to grab the edge of the well with one hand. Mu Wan grabbed her and was about to pull her up.
At this moment, an accident happened.
Something pulled at the rope in an instant, pulling the rope down with terrible force. Miss Qi, who had just left her weight on the rope, suddenly fell down before she could get up. Mu Wan tightened his grip on her arm, his expression changed.
She was much more frightened than she was. Lord Bai Skeleton didn't expect this scene. He rushed up and was about to pull her other hand. But before Miss Qi handed over her other arm, the more powerful force seemed to grasp her.
He tightened her legs and pulled her downwards violently.
There was a dull sound of water below.
She fell.
She fell, but her left wrist was still in Mu Wan's hand.
Mu Wan's instincts were aroused, and Dai Luan was even more sleepy. She had heard and seen many bloody deeds while walking around the world. It was the first time that such a weird and indescribable thing had happened to her.
. She froze there, not moving for a long while, while Shi Wuqi stood beside the ancient well made of stones, staring at the dark hole with wide eyes.
"No blood?"
The first person to react was Aluan. After she said this, Mu Wan came back to his senses and tore off the left forearm of the remaining Qi girl from her wrist. She was very strong and could hold on even if her body was separated.
It was very tight. As Aluan said, there was no trace of blood on the broken section from the elbow joint.
Even though the firelight was not very bright, she could still see that the bones were pitch black, contrasting clearly with the fair skin.
"Qi——!!"
The Master of Hundred Bones shouted at the top of his lungs. Ever since he saw him, he had never found him to be so ungrateful. But he didn't have time to feel too much. Looking at the posture, he stepped onto the wellhead and decided to go back to the well to save her alone. Shanhai
Recalling the sound of water, I immediately grabbed him from behind and tried my best to persuade him to calm down.
"Let go!"
"Do you know what's going on next? Didn't you hear what happened just now? The monster may have cast some kind of magic again. If you go down and fall into some kind of trap, it won't be that simple!"
Even Mu Wan was a little anxious: "You should calm down first. I think you didn't make any big mistakes just now, but if something like this happened on the way back, there is something wrong no matter how you think about it."
Shi Wuqi's breathing was still rapid, but his movements were a little more relaxed.
Dai Luan approached cautiously.
"Wu Qi, let me ask you something, don't be unhappy with who Ah Qi is to you? If you can control the corpse, if something goes wrong, you can just replace it. Why are you obsessed with her?"
What a childish thing. The other two frowned slightly, feeling that it was not the right time to ask this question - although they were also very curious about the answer to this question. Come to think of it, the dignified Lord of the Hundred Bones, who always seemed frivolous, was
It is indeed strange for a dead man to show such strong behavior that is inconsistent with other people's perceptions.
This question did make Shi Wuqi a little annoyed. But the displeasure lasted only for a moment, and he did not have an attack. He calmed down, and with an ugly expression on his face, he pushed away Shan Hai's blocking hand and took two steps to the side.
Mu Wan didn't want to hold a dead man's arm anymore, so she handed her arm over. The stiff and slender arm suddenly became flexible and soft when it came to the hand of the Hundred Skeleton Master. He held the hand gently in his arms,
It rested on his shoulder.
"Can we still take him back? I mean, if we find Miss Qi." Mu Wan asked him.
"able."
He sighed and his eyes fell on Dai Luan again. The moon poked his head out from the clouds and mist, and the weak light shone down, making his eyes dim.
