Chapter Twenty-Six: What Happened Once

But I can't get excited now, any thought that is too subjective will lead to the failure of such 'communication', and I can only calm down and look at it from the perspective of a truly calm bystander.

The strange light of the fire beats, the completely unfamiliar language is chanting some kind of prayer, the hideous bronze masks, the completely naked men and women, the body is painted with the totem that looks like a demon, and in the middle of the crowd there is an old man with gray hair who is less than 1.55 meters tall and dancing an aggressive and primitive dance to the beat of the prayer

Looking at all this, if it weren't for the clarity in my heart that reminded me that this was the real scene that happened in this cave, I would have thought that I was back in a primitive tribe, or I was on the set of some mysterious horror movie.

When the long prayer was finally over, and all the kneeling men and women stood up, I was amazed to see why I had always felt that something was wrong with these people, just as I had just seen those ghosts!

They were very short, very short, the old man who danced was even the tallest among them, most of the men and women were no more than 1.5 meters tall, the head wearing a hideous mask was large, the neck appeared a little thin, the body was a feeling of dysplasia, the limbs were thin, and the belly was slightly protruding.

Who are these people? My mind is messy, at the moment the dancing old man stands in the middle and says something, the language is unusually unfamiliar, I go south and north, not to say that I can speak a lot of languages, but I have some understanding of the languages in the land of China, even if I meet some who can't speak, I don't understand well, but I also roughly know which local dialect or which minority language family it belongs to.

But I don't have a clue about this old man, because the way of pronunciation is so foreign to me.

My brow furrowed, and I watched it all quietly, and the old man, after speaking excitedly, pointed to the crack in the roof of the cave, and then I saw a person who was bound in through the gap, and then a rope slowly lowered him.

Then, the second, the third

A total of seven people were put down, and finally, a few more people in bronze masks pulled ropes and slid down from the gaps, pushing the seven people who were bound all over their bodies to the waterhole!

These seven people and the people in the cave should belong to the same place, they all have the iconic big head and thin neck, they look like the body of a dwarf, but slightly taller than a dwarf, these seven people are not wearing masks, so I can see their appearance very clearly, there is not much difference from the appearance of Asians, the only difference, and the difference that is extremely impressive, is that they are all gray eyes, looking unusually cold and ruthless.

So why these seven people? I had a feeling in my heart that something might happen next, and my throat was a little dry, and I had to think about irrelevant issues to divert my attention.

But this unintentional thought made me really notice a detail, that is, these seven people are much taller than the others in the cave, the male is about 1.6 meters, and the female is about 1.5 meters, which is already the normal height of human beings.

In the blink of an eye, the seven men had been pushed down from the edge of the pool, then forcibly pushed down, and laid down in a strange way of spreading their limbs completely, and then tied ropes to each of their limbs.

Then the old man stepped forward and said something, and the crowd began to cheer, and then scrambled to pull the ropes.

I want to close my eyes, since ancient times, there has been a torture of five horses splitting the corpse, but this way of pulling the rope with manpower is much more cruel than the torture of splitting the corpse of five horses, after all, the speed of the five horses splitting the corpse is very fast, the tortured person does not have to bear too much pain, death means the end, in this scene people are still alive, but they are pulled by the limbs like this, from the beginning of the execution, they have been making that earth-shattering scream, accompanied by the excited cheers of those who pull the rope, with the fire that keeps jumpingIt's like hell!

But I couldn't close my eyes, or this communication would be interrupted, and I could only watch the torture be carried out, and watch the limbs of the seven tortured people being torn off in a very irregular way, but I could not die to relieve this pain, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and the howls continued

Then, the torn limbs were thrown into the water with ropes, and the mysterious old man came forward, knelt down again towards the pool, said something in an excited and frantic tone, and bowed a few more times.

Behind him, his people knelt down and bowed a few times, just like him, and then they began to run out of the cave as if they were afraid of something, and they ran for their lives along the ropes that hung from the gaps.

Before the fire was extinguished, the seven tortured men were thrown here without the ropes, and they kept wailing in pain, until they could only moan because of the excessive blood loss, and they were extremely weak

Still, I see people struggling to get away from that waterhole, but how can they do that? And there will be no one to save them here, they are faced with the despair of life and death, and the fear of the unknown.

I'm not stupid, and judging by the behavior of these ruthless 'grey-eyed people' (let's call them grey-eyed people), there must be something in this waterhole that they adore and fear, so I can tell that these seven people must still face the fear of the unknown.

Thinking like this, I set my eyes on the waterhole, which was quiet, and the surface of the water, which had been stained red with blood just a moment ago, had faded and returned to its original dark and dull color, and I could not see anything.

I don't know what I think, but since I didn't find anything in the waterhole, I looked at the stone pillar that protruded along the mountain wall, and looked upward, but it really made me find something unusual, and this discovery really made my mind unsteady all of a sudden, and this communication was interrupted.

But I couldn't care anymore, I saw a purple bunch at the top of the stone pillar, faintly emitting a mysterious fluorescence, but before I could see clearly, this communication was interrupted.

But it doesn't matter, I took the flashlight from Xiao Chengqian, who was still in that kind of mysterious communication, and then shone towards the top of the pillar, and found that the top of the pillar hidden in the darkness, the mysterious purple covered by black was still there, and it still had a very faint purple fluorescence, because of the darkness in the cave, they grew in the middle of the pillar, and I didn't even notice its existence when I entered the cave at the beginning.

It turned out that these gray-eyed people were not worshipping the waterhole at all, but worshipping the purple plant that grew on the top of the pillar, and there was some seepage on the top of the cave, and occasionally a drop would drop on the purple plant, was this how it survived?

My face turned ugly, and at this point there was only one thought in my mind, how the hell am I going to get up?

But I didn't want to, at this moment, Xiao Chengqian let out a cry of fear, and suddenly woke up from that kind of consciousness exchange, looked at me in shock, and gasped for breath.

I didn't rush to tell Xiao Chengqian about the discovery of the purple plant, but asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Chengyi, it's terrifying, there are terrible things in this pool, let's get out of here, get out of here quickly!" Xiao Chengqian's mood was a little unstable, and the resentful ghost over there, when Xiao Chengqian woke up, his face once again showed a sad look, and he had the same fear!

I suddenly realized that becoming a ghost is naturally to have an unscrupulous hatred for my 'creditors', but these gray-eyed people who were brutally killed did not dare to hate because they were afraid, and could only complain, so they did not become a ghost!

What makes them so afraid, it is naturally the existence underwater, judging from Xiao Chengqian's performance, the underwater existence must be an amazing guy!

But I can't leave, the purple plant is also one of the disasters of Kunlun, the ancestor once showed that this kind of fruit also has a cause in him, how can I, as a disciple of Lao Li's lineage, turn a blind eye?

I put my hand on Xiao Chengqian's shoulder and motioned him to calm down, only to find that I was still holding the pen in my hand, and I suddenly had a bolder idea in my heart, but before that, the first thing was naturally to appease Xiao Chengqian.

"Xiao Chengqian, don't be so excited, you have to at least tell me what you saw, right?" I asked.

Xiao Chengqian calmed down a little at this time, and asked me with some doubts: "You didn't see it?" ”

"Because I found out something else, I was so excited that I broke off the connection." I calmly explained to Xiao Chengqian.

Xiao Chengqian took a deep breath, and then said to me, "Do you remember the huge monster we met before we came in?" In this waterhole, there is an even stranger monster inside! ”

I was stunned for a moment, there are still monsters in this pool? How could such a huge monster exist in such a small waterhole?
