A few of us fled into the cave in embarrassment. As soon as we entered, the torches went out.
When I asked, I found out that my head had been burned on the wetsuit. Because it was made of rubber, it was emitting black smoke.
But even if he hid in the cave, he could still hear the terrifying screams of "wow wah wah" outside.
We were all very tired and our heads were getting old. Seeing that he was breathing heavily, I hurriedly helped him find a place to sit down and rest.
Dou Sprout Zai and I were both slightly injured to varying degrees, and Brother Yu’s clothes were torn, and his entire back was stained red with blood.
The crows on this island are committing suicide attacks like crazy! I have never seen anything like this before!
"Brother Yu, you lost a lot of blood, can you hold on?" I asked.
Brother Yu nodded and said it was okay, but judging from the expression on his face, it must be very painful.
Xiaoxuan said in an annoyed tone: "It's useless to blame me. Brother Yu was injured just to protect me."
Brother Yu grinned and said: "It doesn't matter Xiaoxuan, I am a martial arts practitioner with rough skin and thick flesh, so it won't be a big problem if I get scratched twice."
Dou Sprouts gasped and said, "Is it because we dug out the iron pot that we incurred the crow's revenge?"
I said, what does the iron pot have to do with crows? You can’t hit them with eight poles.
"Who brought a flashlight?" Dou Sprout asked.
I shook my head.
Brother Yu and Xiaoxuan also said that they didn’t know where the flashlight was lost.
The next second, a beam of light lit up in the cave.
Turning on the flashlight, he said in a deep voice: "Crows recognize people and hold grudges. This is not an accident. Didn't you realize that the main target of these beasts is Xiaoxuan?"
"Head...what do you mean??"
"Yunfeng, do you still remember that strange bird last time? The one Xiaoxuan killed."
He told his head what he thought was the reason.
"What weird bird?"
"Brother Yu, you didn't come last time, but a very big forest eagle whose cry was a bit like a woman's cry was killed by us."
"Boss, I don't understand why we killed the bird and the crow retaliated. I checked online that day and found out that the bird should be a protected animal such as a forest eagle. It might have flown from the surrounding wetland park."
He said suspiciously: "I speculate that there is such a possibility."
Dou Sprout scratched his head and said: "I know, that strange bird may be the bird king on the island. Think about it, Zhao Xuanxuan killed the bird king. We were recognized when we went to the island today, so we incurred revenge! I
At that time, I persuaded Zhao Xuanxuan to let the strange bird go, but she didn't listen. Who can I blame now?"
After hearing this, Xiaoxuan bit her lower lip and did not refute Dou Sprout Zai's words.
I said: "Xiaoxuan's handling was fine at the time. No one could have predicted what happened tonight. It's useless to talk about it in hindsight now. Think about how to solve the problem."
I agree that crows hold grudges and recognize people. I dug out a lot of bird's nests when I was a child, and I was chased by a crow several times and pooped on its head. If it doesn't recognize people, why did it head towards me?
Shiting on the ground? But attacking people in groups. I have never seen this happen before, and this is the first time I have experienced it.
"What time is it Mineko?"
"It's just two o'clock. It's still early before dawn. How about we hide here until three o'clock? See if the crows outside will disperse." I said.
"where you go?"
Xiaoxuan suddenly stood up and walked deeper into the cave. I caught up with her and asked.
"I'm going to look for that eagle's body and see if it's still there. We can't hide here."
"I'll go with you."
Xiaoxuan nodded.
Grabbing the flashlight, I walked with Xiaoxuan deeper into the cave.
If I remember correctly, keep going straight and then turn a corner.
After walking for only a few minutes, I suddenly smelled an insignificant "stink".
It smells like a rotten can.
"Xiaoxuan, I have a bad feeling. Just wait for me here and I'll call the leader."
When I called the leader, Xiaoxuan could no longer be seen at her original position.
I immediately took a flashlight and looked around.
Suddenly I saw Xiaoxuan squatting in the corner, her head buried between her legs, motionless.
"Scare me, what are you doing over there?"
"It's nothing, I'll take a rest." Xiaoxuan stood up and said.
"Botou, smell this smell, it's very strange."
"This is corpse odor, Yunfeng, but it doesn't look like corpse odor on a human body. Let's go to the front and have a look."
I went over to hold Xiaoxuan's hand and felt that her palm was a little cold, so I held on tighter.
After walking deeper into the cave, within about ten minutes, we saw the body of Lin Diao.
Still in its original position, no decay.
Think about it, it's only been less than three days, and it's winter now, so it won't rot so quickly.
Dou Sprout stepped forward and kicked him: "Fengzi, do you think this is an eagle?"
"It's a forest eagle. It may belong to the owl category. It has no natural enemies on this island."
"Botou, if it's not the smell of the bird carcass, then what is it?"
He looked deep into the cave again and said nothing.
At this time, the bean sprouts behind me suddenly said loudly: "Zhao Xuanxuan, are you still laughing?"
"Boss! Look at Zhao Xuanxuan! This incident happened because of her! She still dares to laugh!"
"Nonsense, when did I laugh?"
"I saw it! Don't even think about denying it! You just laughed!"
"Damn Bean Sprouts! I didn't laugh! You're blinded!"
Xiaoxuan retorted with a dark face.
Dou Yazai said excitedly! "Brother Yu! Did you see it? Zhao Xuanxuan was clearly laughing just now!"
Brother Yu patted Dou Yazai on the shoulder: "I didn't see it, maybe you were too nervous, Ya Zai."
Seeing something in the avatar, he suddenly quickened his pace and walked forward.
It's a mouse.
Dead rat.
There were about twenty of them, their tails were entangled with each other very tightly, and they died not long after.
We saw this kind of thing last time! He squatted his head on the ground and looked at it. He frowned and said, "The rat king I saw in the past would loosen its tail if the rat died. What's going on?"
Xiaoxuan asked doubtfully: "Could the head be related to that ancient corpse?"
What Xiaoxuan said is actually what I want to ask. Everything here is abnormal. If according to previous speculation, the crow attack is related to the forest eagle, how can the mouse explain it?
And where is the source of the stink?
When I think of the lacquered corpse lying in the coffin, I feel sick in my heart.
Xiaoxuan asked again: "Is it possible that the crows and dead mice that attacked us were controlled by an invisible force, and this mysterious force led us to hide in the cave and return here?
"
Dou Yazai immediately answered: "It's really possible. Think about it, that ancient corpse had been stretching out its hands and pointing its head to ask for money from the dead. We burned our clothes to it at that time. Now it has reacted. It's true.
It’s up to us to ask for money.”
I took a deep breath and asked Brother Yu what he thought.
Brother Yu shook his head and said: "Actually, I didn't quite understand what you were talking about. What kind of ancient corpse is reaching out? Burning clothes requires money? If there are unclean things in this cave, then maybe I can try to escape."
Bean Sprouts hurriedly sought medical attention and said excitedly: "Yes! Brother Yu, you have been a monk for more than ten years! You should be saved as soon as possible! Now it's all up to you! This place is so damn evil!"
After hearing this, Brother Yu clasped his hands together and recited the sutra loudly.
Brother Yu was chanting sutras and walking forward.
Dou Sprout followed Brother Yu and gave me a look, signaling me to follow him quickly.
