Chapter 166 The Shadow on the Tree

Following the direction of his finger, I looked up and saw seven graves neatly arranged at the back of the cemetery, next to the woods.

Because the distance was too far and the sky was too dark, I couldn't see very clearly. I took out my mobile phone to illuminate it and walked a few steps forward. When I came to the seven graves, I was stunned!

Lu Daqian also noticed something unusual. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, hunched over and lowered his head, staring at the grave in front of him in amazement. Big beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

"What...what happened to become like this?!"

I saw that all seven grave heads had been dug open, and the coffin lids were scattered nearby. However, all seven coffins were empty!

"Who did this? What a crime!" Lu Daqian squatted in front of the grave, slapping the ground with both hands.

I felt a little tight in my chest and took a breath. I came to the mound of soil that had been dug up and turned over the soil with my hands. It felt a little cold and slippery. I took another photo with my phone and found that the soil in the grave was very dark in color.

, some are black, and there is some black liquid mixed in them.

My pupils shrank, and I hurriedly went behind the tombstone to take a look. The back of the tombstone was actually covered with moss!

My heart skipped a beat, so I jumped down into the grave pit and lay there looking at the empty coffin for a long time. My heart suddenly became cold and I murmured:

"The coffin has signs of being soaked in water. It seems that the bodies were not stolen by others!"

Lu Daqian, who was still beating his chest, suddenly raised his head and looked at me in surprise,

"It was not stolen by others...this...what does this mean?"

"I crawled out on my own!"

Lu Daqian was shocked and collapsed directly on the ground.

Although I was also upset, I didn't dare to relax, so I picked up the limp Lu Daqian and walked towards the woods behind the cemetery.

"Where else are we going..." Lu Daqian's voice was a little weak.

"Those corpses may be nearby, we have to go look for them...it will be troublesome if they reach the villagers' houses!"

Walking into the woods, the mist seemed thicker than when we were in the cemetery, and the musty smell became more and more choking. I always felt something was unusual, so I stopped and took out some herbs from my backpack, tore them up and handed them to Lu Daqian.

Tell him to stuff it into his nose to properly block the fog and musty smell.

I stuffed some myself, and just about to continue walking forward, I saw something hanging from a tree not far away. The thing was swinging back and forth, pressing against the trunk of the tree and making a "creep" sound.



Lu Daqian and I looked at each other, then cautiously moved closer, and then we saw clearly that the person hanging on the tree was actually a person! It was a female corpse!

The female corpse's hands and feet naturally drooped, her head turned to one side, a green silk piece was wrapped around her neck, and her eyes were open...

"ah!"

Lu Daqian exclaimed and backed away. He pointed at the face of the corpse and said:

"She...she was killed by Qing Yi. We had obviously buried her before, so why is she hanging here?"

Just when we were suspicious, a lazy voice suddenly sounded behind us,

"village head…"

Lu Daqian and I looked back at the same time and saw an old man in a shabby undershirt staring at the two of us with drooping triangular eyes. His neck was tilted forward and his face was covered with wrinkles.

The chapped and white mouth opened wide...

This weird expression made my heart beat a few times unconsciously...

"Old Xu?! You... aren't you already... dead..."

Lu Daqian spat out a few words dryly, then his feet softened and he collapsed on the ground.

\"I'm not dead...\"

Lao Xu's stiff mouth opened and closed, making a hoarse and low sound.

"Xiao...Xiao Lin..."

Lu Daqian kept tugging on my trousers, unable to speak completely.

I looked at Lao Xu warily. He was covered with a lot of mud, as if he had just crawled out of the soil! My eyes slowly moved downwards, and I found that his feet were bare, and his lower body pants were in tatters, with leaks leaking from them.

There was a stream of smelly liquid...

He was indeed dead, but for some unknown reason he did not realize it.

I slowly put my hand into my backpack, and just when I was about to take action, Lao Xu wandered around me and walked towards the depths of the woods behind me with a strange smile.

I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. After hesitating for a moment, I slapped my forehead and realized that he wanted to lead the way!

Thinking of this, I took out a polished copper coin from my backpack and stuffed it into Lu Daqian's hand.

"Take this copper coin and go home quickly. It will protect you temporarily."

"But…"

"Stop it, you will only distract me if you follow me!"

After saying that, I turned around and chased Lao Xu.

Following Lao Xu step by step towards the depths of the woods, a second body hanging on a tree slowly appeared in front of him, followed closely by the third...the fourth...

For a while, there were corpses hanging on trees swinging back and forth everywhere around me. I counted exactly seven corpses, and these corpses turned out to be female corpses!

I stared at this strange scene in stunned silence. Even though I was mentally strong, I couldn't help but get goosebumps at this moment.

"Uh...ah!!!"

A scream came from my ears. I turned around and saw that Lao Xu fell to the ground in pain while holding his head. His body began to twitch violently, and streams of black corpse blood flowed out from his seven orifices...

"I...I'm not dead..."

He kept repeating this sentence in his mouth until he finally lay there motionless.

I was shocked. It seemed that Lao Xu was indeed here to lead the way. Now he has completely stopped moving, which means he has arrived at the place!

Realizing this, I immediately became alert.

"hehe…"

At this moment, I suddenly remembered the woman's cold laughter, the sound echoing layer by layer in the dark woods...

My heart tightened and I looked back and forth. I was horrified to find that all the laughter came from the female corpse hanging in the tree...

"Are they all alive?!"

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of muffled sounds suddenly came from all directions. My body trembled, and I quickly turned around and glanced around. As a result, I was stunned when I saw it!

All the female corpses hanging on the trees fell to the ground, and then slowly got up...
