Chapter 63: What Are Skeletons?
Xie Fei chased him along the passage, only to see that the skeleton was really like a guide, waiting for him here.
"Brother Skeleton, do you really mean well when you say that Mr. Li has good intentions?" Xie Fei asked the skeleton with a smile. He only had a 50-50 opinion about whether Mr. Li was good or bad.
Seeing that the skeleton was silent, Xie Fei said to himself again: "Let's believe him for once, and I'll believe you for once." Before he could finish speaking, the skeleton rolled on the spot and disappeared.
Xie Fei walked over and took a look. Well, he was convinced this time. This skeleton was really a roundworm in the belly of the ancient tomb, and he could see clearly everywhere.
Where the skeleton rolled, there was a large hole as thick as a bucket. The hole was messy and the traces did not look natural, let alone man-made. Xie Fei lay down at the entrance of the hole and looked in. There was something inside.
There is a "swishing" sound of water.
Where there is water, there must be an exit. Xie Fei still firmly believed this in his heart. Without any hesitation, he lowered his body and dived into the hole.
All the way downhill, the skeleton rolled extremely fast in the cave. Xie Fei's legs were down and he couldn't see the situation in front of him. Within a few seconds of coming down, stars were shining in his eyes and he couldn't even scratch his body.
No matter how many holes there were, my whole body and even my crotch were in terrible pain.
There was no sun or moon in the cave, and Xie Fei didn't know how long he had been sliding down. Suddenly, he felt his feet were empty, and he fell down from the cave with a "pop".
Xie Fei felt severe pain in his ninja buttocks. He raised his head and looked around, and saw that the skeleton was still not far away from him, glowing slightly red. Then Xie Fei saw the faint red light clearly.
He saw that he fell from the passage, but he was in a cave. The range of the red light was not large. Xie Fei could not see how big the cave was, but he saw that the height was more than three meters high. On the top of the cave
, there are stalagmites more than half a meter long hanging everywhere, with crystal water drops on their tips.
The water dripping from the bamboo shoots formed a stream not far from his feet, and the skull was now soaking in this stream.
Xie Fei had not had a drop of water for many days. He looked at the creek and didn't care whether there was dirt or witchcraft in the water. He squatted down and drank "gudong, gudong".
The spring water was clear and refreshing, with a slight sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue. Xie Fei finished drinking the spring water and fell to the ground.
"Brother Skeleton, it seems that you really take care of me."
Hearing this, the skeleton turned its head slightly, its eyes flashing red, as if it was praising Xie Fei and quite satisfied.
If there were outsiders here, looking at this moving skull with a strange red light in their eyes, they would turn around and run away in fear. But Xie Fei smiled slightly. "I hope you don't let me die."
Too miserable.”
Upon hearing this, the skull flashed red again. It swam along the stream and into the cave.
Xie Fei had almost rested, so he stood up and chased the skeleton in the direction it was swimming. Xie Fei was immediately convinced. Whether the skeleton was rolling on the ground or swimming in the water, he could run faster than himself.
I haven't eaten much for several days, my stomach is full of water, and I am always a few steps behind when I hurry.
"Brother Skeleton, where are you taking me?"
Xie Fei was chasing this person along the creek on the bank when he suddenly felt cold. The water drops on the roof of the cave dripped onto his neck. Xie Fei stretched out his hand and touched it, but something didn't feel right. He looked again
.
"Oh my god, it's actually blood."
Xie Fei's scalp went numb and he looked up again, but he didn't see anything unusual. The cave was still eerily quiet, except for the sound of dripping water, there was no other sound.
I looked down again and saw that I ran along the road. There was not much light in the cave. Now I looked down and saw that the stream had turned blood red at some point. The skeleton seemed to have noticed something unusual about Xie Fei and stopped.
Come down.
Xie Fei squatted down, picked up a handful of water, and sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose. Even though he didn't have Lao Wu's magical nose, he could still smell it. The water was filled with this other smell. What was it specifically?
I can't distinguish the taste yet, but it is very familiar.
After the skeleton saw Xie Fei's actions, it swam slightly back. Xie Fei was so frightened that he kept retreating. This was the first time that it actively moved towards him.
The scene remained frozen like this, and time seemed to be frozen. Apart from the sound of water dripping from time to time, the only thing left in his ears was his heart beating violently "Plop, Plop". The strangest thing was that Xie Fei didn't know
, what is it going to do next? Xie Fei has a feeling that he has been played by it from the beginning, from the sudden appearance of the skeleton in the waist pit, to the disappearance of the bronze platform for no reason, and then to the way it led him to this cave.
, everything seems to have been planned by it.
The skull kept staring at Xie Fei like this for a few more minutes. However, it looked like it was fine again. It shook its head and continued swimming along the stream.
Now, Xie Fei began to hesitate. There was obviously something wrong with the stream. Should he continue to follow it? Where would it take him?
Seeing the red light getting further and further away from him, and the darkness slowly beginning to swallow up the only glimmer of light in front of him, Xie Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Just die, or live again in twenty years at the worst."
Thinking about it, Xie Fei quickened his pace and followed closely behind the skull.
The gathering of water droplets made the stream wider and wider. Xie Fei followed the skeleton and saw that there seemed to be another passage in front of him. The skeleton had already gotten in one step ahead of Xie Fei. When Xie Fei walked up to it, he bumped into someone without paying attention.
On the wall, a burst of fire suddenly broke out in my heart. Regardless of the nosebleeds flowing out of my face, I lowered my head and followed the skeleton in.
This cave is just like the previous ones. It is not natural at all and it is not excavated manually. However, the stream also flows out along this channel. Xie Fei no longer cares about this. He simply breaks the jar and throws it. People will die.
Either he died, or he died, Xie Fei had to understand how to die.
I don't know how long I climbed, but I saw that the cave was very narrow. Thanks to my thinness, if it were Cui Yuan, he probably wouldn't be able to crawl out even if his skin peeled off.
Just as Xie Fei was thinking about it, he saw the skeleton stopped and floated on the water.
Xie Fei was about to ask it why it didn't leave anymore.
