My breathing could not help but quicken a lot. What on earth did these people want to do by carrying out a dead man? But I soon understood.
Those people placed the dead man in the middle of the crowd, and then took off all his clothes. A small middle-aged man stood up and walked to the body, and then slowly took off all his clothes.
When I saw his body, I almost vomited, if that can be called a body.
Almost all the flesh on the body was rotten, and it was purple-black. After taking off only one piece of clothing, a layer of rotten flesh fell on the ground. Black liquid kept flowing down from those rotten places, and some places were even exposed.
bone.
I covered my mouth tightly, afraid that I would spit it out. The little middle-aged man took a knife from the hand of someone next to him, walked to the corpse and squatted down. He picked up the knife and dropped it, and the corpse's head was completely cut.
After cutting it off, the little man quickly peeled off the scalp of the head. The bones were placed on the railing of the hull, while someone carried the scalp into the cabin.
The matter was far from over. Two people came over, helped the headless body up, and sat back-to-back with the little middle-aged man.
Suddenly, the whole body of the little middle-aged man was covered with traces of white. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were many white hairs coming out of his body, crawling into the headless corpse like insects, from the neck.
The wound penetrated into the flesh.
The little middle-aged man raised the knife in his hand again, but this time it was pointed at himself. With a sudden movement, the little middle-aged man's head fell from the rotting body and rolled far away.
The place.
Two more people came up next to them and threw the rotting body into the river. One person picked up the head and brought it to the headless corpse.
At this time, the headless corpse moved strangely, and his hands actually picked up the head, gently touched the hair, and then directly pressed it on the neck.
My whole body felt cold and cold sweat kept flowing down my face. This was really weird. It turned out that the people below were actually changing their bodies. It was probably because the body of the little middle-aged man was too rotten to be used, so he walked out of the river.
A corpse was fished out and replaced.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there was such a weird and evil thing. Shuiyue beside me had buried her head completely in my arms, and she didn't even dare to look at it anymore. In fact, my nerves
I was already stretched to the limit. If it weren't for a man's pride and his desire to lose face in front of women, I would have been so frightened that I ran away.
At this moment, something happened that made my heart beat wildly. The middle-aged man who had just changed his head turned towards us. At the same time, those sitting around also looked towards us.
A strange smile appeared on the dull face, and then they all took their heads off their shoulders.
"No, Shuiyue, run quickly, we have been discovered."
However, Shuiyue in my arms just kept trembling, her whole body softened, and she refused to answer me.
What's going on? I have always thought that Shuiyue's psychological quality is much stronger than mine, but now I can endure it. Why did she become like this? Is it really like what people say, women are strong on the outside?
In fact, it's all just an act, but is there still a soft side in your heart?
But I didn't have time to think about it at this time. The heads below actually flew up one by one as if they had wings. No, they had wings, and those big ears were wings.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of the Feitou tribe. Are these all Feitou tribesmen? But why did they become like this? So evil and weird?
At this time, the only option was to escape. Shuiyue seemed to have lost the ability to move, but there was no way I was going to drop her, so I stood up suddenly, hugged her whole body, and then ran away frantically along the stone path.
.
Both of us are carrying heavy packages, plus Suiyue. If these weights were added together in normal times, I suspect it would be very difficult to even walk, but now I am running very fast. This is completely forced.
Yes, the idea in my heart is very simple. Even if I am exhausted, I don't want to be caught up by those heads. Maybe they will exchange my body for those rotting bodies. Thinking about it makes me feel sick and panic.
But how can a person's running speed be compared to those flying heads? Soon those heads caught up with me, showing their sharp teeth one by one, and biting me one after another.
I had no way to resist and could only passively endure the pain. At this time, Shuiyue in my arms suddenly said: "Wang Fo, put me down quickly and run away alone, otherwise both of us will die."
I had already suppressed a lot of anger in my heart, so when I heard this, I said: "Stop talking nonsense, you have saved me so many times, if I want to leave you, then am I still a man? At worst, we two will be together.
It's good to die, and I think it's worth it if I can have a beautiful woman accompany me to die."
"You are such a fool. My mother-in-law is right. You are all equally stupid."
"Okay, even if I'm stupid, if you're okay, could you please help me get that damn thing off my arm? It's bitten on my numbness. My arm is so sore. It's going to kill me."
I can’t hold you anymore.”
"Pfft" Shuiyue couldn't help but laugh, and then my eyes lit up. She turned on the light and shined it on those heads.
I didn't expect this trick to be very effective. Regardless of whether these heads are monsters or humans, their eyes have already degraded after living in this darkness for a long time. Now when they are illuminated by this light, they suddenly lose their direction and scream.
Flying everywhere.
Some hit the stone wall next to them, and some hit each other in pairs. The scene became chaotic for a while.
It was a rare opportunity, so I hugged Shuiyue and hurriedly escaped from the encirclement, but at this moment my feet suddenly became empty, and the two of us fell directly.
There is a long slope below. From time to time, we encountered raised rocks on the road, which caused pain everywhere on my body. However, instead of slowing down, we rolled faster and faster.
I thought that this would not work. If the speed of rolling down was too fast, it would be no different from falling vertically. The final result would be either death or disability.
I quickly grabbed the stone walls on both sides with my hands, but failed several times. The force of our rolling down was too great, and one hand could not withstand the impact. If I pulled hard, I would only injure myself.
Just when I was at my wits' end, Shuiyue, who had been holding me, moved in my arms. Suddenly, his body suddenly turned over, and both of us were on our heads and on our feet. This immediately slowed down the fall.
Trend. I couldn't help shouting a good idea in my heart, but at this time Shuiyue turned over again and lay directly on me.
As soon as the doubts in my heart arose, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back and buttocks. This girl is really cunning and cunning. She doesn't have to suffer, but she suffers for me.
"Hold me, tighter."
Shuiyue's words rang in my ears, and I subconsciously hugged her waist tightly. Then I saw her take out two daggers and stab them hard at the stone wall behind.
There was a harsh sound, and from the corner of my eye I saw sparks flying from the stone walls on both sides, while our bodies suddenly slowed down.
At this time, I took the opportunity to grab a protruding stone next to me, and finally, our bodies stopped.
I took a deep breath, showed a forced smile on my face, and then turned to look down.
Even though I was breaking out in a cold sweat, I saw that less than three meters below, the steep slope had reached its end, and further down was a dark place. I could barely see the outlines of some jagged and strange rocks, at least ten meters away from the steep slope.
It's a few meters high. If we fell from it at the speed we were going at just now, we would probably die in an ugly way.
"It's really dangerous, Shuiyue, are you okay?" I asked her.
Shuiyue shook her head, found a raised stone and stood on it, pulled out the dagger, looked at it, shook her head and threw it into the darkness below.
"It's you, are you okay back there?" She squinted her eyes. Although she couldn't see her expression, I could guess that she must be smiling.
I rolled my eyes at her, but she had the nerve to ask, but after she reminded me, I felt a burning pain on my back and butt. Under the fierce friction just now, it would be impossible if nothing happened.
, and fortunately we stopped in time, otherwise even if we didn't fall to death, I would have been beaten to death.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. No matter how painful it was, you can't always talk about how painful your butt is in front of a girl. I changed the topic, thinking of what just happened, and asked strangely: "What happened just now?"
?I think something’s wrong with you.”
Her eyes dodged for a moment and she didn't answer me. She just looked up in silence.
Seeing that she didn't want to tell me, I didn't force her, but I suddenly felt very tired. Each of them seemed to know a lot, but no one was willing to tell me, which was really frustrating.
As if sensing my low mood, no one hesitated before saying: "Wang Fo, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't tell you. There are too many things involved here, and it doesn't matter if you know it."
It must be a good thing. In fact, I would rather be like you and know nothing. That might not be a happy thing."
"Tch, don't tell me about happiness. I am an insulator of happiness. Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask. But what's going on with the bone boat? What's going on with those people? You should have some ideas about this.
Right? I want to hear your opinion."
"About the ghost ship..." Shuiyue pondered for a while and said, "I think those people should have died long ago."
