Tomb raiding live stream: Starting as the mute Zhang

"Is the offering still alive?"

Wu Xie stared at the five words on his phone screen, a chill creeping up his spine.

The murals depict mountains of white bones, twisted and tormented souls, and eerie, bloody rituals...

A living sacrifice?

What does that mean?

Are those who were brutally murdered "alive" in some form?

Or something else?

He instinctively looked into the darkness ahead.

The wind howled.

The sweet, fishy, ​​and rotten smell became even stronger.

Faintly, there seemed to be extremely subtle, viscous sounds, as if something was wriggling on a wet, slippery surface, mixed in with the sound of the wind, intermittently.

I couldn't hear it clearly.

But what's even more unsettling is that it sends chills down your spine.

"What? Still alive?"

After recovering, Fatty Wang got up and looked at his phone, his expression changing.

"Holy crap! Don't scare me! This place is creepy enough!"

Xie Yuchen, Huo Xiuxiu, A Ning, and others also gathered around.

Upon seeing the message, their expressions turned serious.

Pan Zi spat, tightened his grip on the gun, and pointed the muzzle faintly in the direction from which the sound came.

Jiang Xun Gu squinted and listened intently.

Neither Zhang Qiling nor "Zhang Qiling" were looking at their phones.

Their gaze remained fixed on the dark depths of the cave ahead.

The beams of flashlight swept across the scene, attempting to penetrate the impenetrable darkness.

Both of their hands rested lightly on the hilts of their knives, which were wrapped in strips of cloth behind their backs.

"Let's go take a look."

Zhang Qiling's voice was calm.

They took the lead and walked forward.

"Zhang Qiling" followed closely behind.

The two maintained a few steps apart, positioned to guard each other.

"Be careful, stay close."

Xie Yuchen gave the instructions in a low voice.

The others immediately followed.

The flashlight beam swayed in the cave, making the bloody and eerie murals appear even more grotesque.

The space is larger than expected.

It looks like a huge underground cave that has been modified.

The ground was uneven, scattered with gravel and thick dust.

The air was damp and cold, carrying a heavy earthy smell and a lingering sweet, rotten stench.

The murals on the surrounding rock walls are continuous.

It recounts the increasingly insane behavior of the tomb's occupant, who wore a tall crown.

From slaughter and sacrifice.

Until they peel off the skin and dismember the bones.

Then there's the use of human bodies for some kind of evil alchemy or ritual.

The content is becoming increasingly illogical.

It exudes a kind of hysterical religious fanaticism.

The levitating live-streaming ball floated silently above everyone's heads.

They faithfully recorded the surrounding environment and murals.

The comments section was scrolling nervously:

The sacrificial offering is still alive? What does that mean?

Creepy!

This mural is terrifying.

I feel like the tomb owner was a psychopathic killer.

Listen, it sounds like there really is a sound...

Shh, listen carefully.

It sounds a bit like... crawling?

Don't scare yourself.

These guys are so calm.

What is Blackie doing?

Black Bear had somehow broken away from the group.

Like a shadow, it slipped to the edge of a stalactite forest to the side.

He did not turn on the flashlight.

He was almost completely enveloped in darkness.

His location was only revealed by occasional reflections from the lenses.

He seemed to be observing something.

I listened intently to the source of that sticky sound.

The procession moved forward slowly.

The deeper you go, the clearer the sticky sound seems to become.

It was no longer a vague illusion.

It was a real, extremely uncomfortable friction sound.

It was like wet, heavy leather dragging across a rough surface.

The sweet and fishy smell became increasingly strong.

It's almost nauseating.

"What's this smell...? It tastes like rotten meat soaked in sugar water..."

Fatty Wang pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice.

Wu Xie also felt his stomach churning.

Suppressing his discomfort, he kept glancing around.

Besides the murals, some traces of artificial construction began to appear at the bottom of the rock face.

It looks like a low wall made of stones.

It also resembles... a simple altar.

On some altars, there are still dark red, dried stains.

"Look over there!"

Huo Xiuxiu suddenly gasped in surprise.

He pointed to a shadowy area on the left.

The flashlight beam immediately focused on it.

In the shadows, near the rock face, there were some things scattered about.

It's not a stone.

But...

Some grayish-white, irregularly shaped lumps.

Some of them still had torn, cloth-like pieces attached to them.

It's bone.

Human bones.

And not just in one place.

As the flashlight beam moved, the group discovered that scattered skeletons were everywhere in the corners, crevices, and behind low walls of the area.

Some of the skeletons are still relatively intact, remaining in a curled or twisted posture.

Some were scattered on the ground, half-covered by dust.

"It seems... the murals aren't entirely fake."

Xie Yuchen's voice was low and deep.

He crouched down and shone his flashlight on a skeleton half-buried under rubble.

The skeleton was very small.

Like a child.

The skull was fractured.

The neck has an unnatural curvature.

"Damn it, how many people did this son of a bitch kill to die with him?"

Pan Zi gritted his teeth and cursed.

"It's not just about being buried alive with the deceased."

"Zhang Qiling" suddenly spoke.

He squatted down next to another set of bones.

Shine a flashlight on the ground next to the skeleton.

There were some fine, dark brown marks there.

It looks like what's left after a liquid dries up.

It stretches out in a winding path.

Pointing to deeper into the cave.

"They were sacrificial offerings. They were brought here while they were still alive."

He paused.

Two words were added:

"bloodletting."

These two characters look like icicles.

It penetrates into everyone's heart.

Bleeding alive...

Just imagining that scene sends chills down one's spine.

Wu Xie recalled the mysterious text message.

My heart sank even further.

The offerings are still alive...

Could it be that the owner of these skeletons still exists in some form?

He looked at the skeletons.

It was as if one could see countless wronged souls wailing in the darkness.

Just then.

Zhang Qiling, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped.

Raise one hand.

He gestured for everyone to be quiet.

Almost simultaneously.

Black bears on the edge of the stalactite forest to the side and front.

She also slightly raised her head.

Look towards a certain direction deep inside the cave.

That sticky, rubbing sound.

It got bigger.

and.

There is another voice.

A low, hissing sound, like a giant bellows slowly pumping.

Accompanied by the "crunch" sound of some heavy object crushing gravel and bones.

The sound is coming from directly in front.

The source of that sweet, fishy, ​​and putrid smell.

Everyone's flashlights.

Subconsciously, I focused the light in that direction.

Light pierced the darkness.

The outline of the cave in front of us was revealed.

It seemed to be a more open space.

The ground has sunk downwards.

It forms an irregular pit.

The edge of the pit.

More and more, messy white bones were piled up.

It gleamed with a pale white light under illumination.

And at the edge of that pile of bones.

The light illuminated...

Something.

A huge, slowly moving body covered in dark patterns.

It was a snake.

No.

To be precise.

It was an outrageously large python.

Its thickest part is thicker than a water bucket.

The dark scales are covered with intricate patterns of black and yellow.

Under the light, it gleamed with a greasy sheen.

A huge triangular head, buried among piles of bones.

It seems to be swallowing something.

Only the latter half of its thick body could be seen, slowly wriggling.

It was crushing the bones below.

It makes a teeth-grinding "crack" sound.

The sticky friction sound and the low hissing sound.

It was emitted by that.

It seemed to be startled by the sudden appearance of light.

His head suddenly rose from the pile of bones.

A grotesque snake face covered in fine scales was exposed to the light.

Its eyes are a cloudy yellow.

The vertical pupils shrank to a thin line.

He coldly observed the group of uninvited guests.

The enormous snake tongue flickered in and out.

The forked tip of the tongue trembled in the air.

It brings a stronger, sweet, fishy, ​​and putrid stench.

The corner of its mouth.

It was also covered with some dark red fragments that looked like flesh and blood.

"Fuck..."

Fatty Wang's voice even changed tone.

Huo Xiuxiu covered her mouth, almost crying out.

Ah Ning's pupils contracted sharply, and she instantly drew the short blade from her waist.

Xie Yuchen, Pan Zi, and Jiang Xungu all raised their guns.

Fingers were on the trigger.

The Wang and Luo families followed behind.

I also witnessed this scene.

A suppressed gasp and gasps of surprise immediately followed.

Some people even felt their legs go weak and almost collapsed to the ground.

The camera on the floating live-streaming sphere immediately focused on the giant python.

The live chat exploded instantly:

Holy crap! What a huge snake!

Is that a python? Or is it a dragon?!

Are you eating bones?

It looks disgusting!

There's blood at the corner of my mouth!

They're about to attack!

Fire! Fire now!

Hey buddy! Hey sir!

How do you fight this thing?

The python was clearly disturbed from its meal.

A fierce glint flashed in his vertical pupils.

Its massive body began to writhe faster.

Head held high.

Assume an attack stance.

The sweet, pungent, and putrid stench wafted over you as it moved.

"Back off!"

Pan Zi let out a low growl.

The gun was already pointed at the giant python's head.

But someone was faster than him.

Just as the giant python raised its head, poised to launch its attack.

A dark shadow appeared, like a ghost.

It suddenly darted out from the shadows of the stalactite forest on the side!

It's a black bear!

He had silently circled around to the side and rear of the giant python without anyone noticing.

He did not use a gun.

He didn't even draw his usual short knife.

He had somehow acquired a piece of something in his hand—

It was a thick, heavy leg bone with a sharp, broken end, which had been picked up from a pile of scattered bones nearby.

It resembles the femur of some large animal.

The python sensed the threat from its side and rear.

It twisted its body suddenly, trying to turn around.

But the bear was even faster!

He pounced like a cheetah.

It moved so fast that it left a trail of afterimages in the air.

In the instant the giant python's massive, scale-covered body swept across.

He stomped his foot hard on the ground.

His body suddenly grew taller.

They narrowly avoided a blow that could have snapped a tree in two.

Simultaneously.

Taking advantage of the momentum of leaping up.

He gripped the thick bone club tightly with both hands.

channel all your strength into your arms.

Aiming at the back of the python's neck, which was relatively vulnerable as it twisted its body.

Slam it down hard!

There are no fancy techniques.

There are no complicated moves.

Only the simplest, most brutal, and most primal power erupts!

"Bang!"

A dull, muffled impact rang out.

It felt like a heavy hammer striking tough leather.

The giant python let out a painful and angry hiss.

Its massive body convulsed violently.

The sweeping motion was interrupted.

His head throbbed in pain.

Having landed a successful blow, Hei Xiazi did not linger in the fight.

Using the force of the recoil.

The body makes a light twist in the air.

It landed steadily a few meters away.

The tip of the bone club in his hand was already stained with a dark, viscous liquid.

He swung the bone club.

He grinned, revealing teeth that appeared somewhat white in the darkness:

"Hey, you've got pretty thick skin."

The python was completely enraged.

The murky yellow vertical pupils were fixed on Hei Xiazi.

They abandoned their original positive goals.

His burly body suddenly sprang forward.

It opened its blood-red maw wide enough to swallow a calf whole.

It carried a fishy smell.

It lunged at the black bear and bit down!

The speed is astonishing!

Instead of retreating, the black bear advanced.

Just as the giant mouth was about to strike.

His body slid to the side in a strange way.

Like a loach, it slid along the scales under the giant python's jaw.

He swung the bone club in his hand again.

This time it was a complete sweep.

It slammed hard into the side of the giant python's open jaw!

"Click!"

Another muffled sound.

Accompanied by a sickening cracking sound.

The python's bite was deflected.

The head is tilted to one side.

Hei Xiazi, once he gained power, was ruthless.

His footwork was incredibly agile.

Wander around the giant python, which is somewhat out of control due to pain and anger.

The heavy bone club in his hand turned into blurry afterimages.

They specifically target relatively vulnerable areas of the python, such as its eyes, nostrils, and jaw joint.

Each strike.

Both are powerful and heavy.

Precise and ruthless.

"Bang! Crack! Bang!"

The dull thuds of blows and the cracking of bones echoed continuously.

Accompanied by the giant python's painful hissing.

And the rumbling sound of the body twisting wildly, slapping the ground, and smashing stalagmites.

Its massive body had become a burden at this moment.

Under Hei Xiazi's ghostly movements and cunning, ruthless attacks.

He appeared clumsy and embarrassed.

The floating live-streaming ball closely followed Hei Xiazi's figure.

This thrilling and brutal one-sided "beating" was clearly recorded.

The comments section is going crazy:

Blackie is awesome!

Use a bone to fight a python!

That's amazing!

So fierce!

The python was completely fooled!

Every move hits the vital points!

It hurts to look at it!

So Blackie is a formidable fighter!

I underestimated him!

The young man and his companions didn't make a move.

It was resolved cleanly and efficiently.

In less than a minute.

The giant python was already covered in wounds.

The scales on the head were broken in many places, and blood was seeping out.

One of his eyes was also cut by the sharp stubs of the bone club.

A murky liquid flowed out.

It becomes extremely ferocious.

But he couldn't even touch the hem of Black Bear's clothes.

On the contrary, the frantic twisting and turning consumed a lot of energy.

at last.

After Hei Xiazi delivered a powerful blow that struck the giant python at the junction of its head and spine.

The giant python let out a mournful cry.

The massive body suddenly stiffened.

Then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

It stirred up a large cloud of dust.

It twitched a few times.

It stopped moving.

Only the thick tail was still twitching slightly, unconsciously.

Black Bear shook his bone club, which was covered in slime.

He casually tossed it aside.

He patted his hands to remove non-existent dust.

They walked back to the group.

He still wore that cynical smile.

It was as if he had just casually swatted a fly.

"Done."

He said it casually.

The cave was completely silent.

Only heavy breathing could be heard.

And the occasional faint sounds of the giant python's corpse twitching.

People from the Wang and Luo families.

The look in their eyes as they looked at Hei Xiazi had changed from fear to horror.

They then realized...

On Wu Xie's side.

There are not only two unfathomable "Zhang Qilings".

Even this guy who's always laughing and wearing sunglasses.

They're all so terrifying!

Wu Xie was also shocked by what he saw.

He knew Hei Xiazi was powerful.

But I didn't expect it to be so fierce.

He took down this giant python with his bare hands (or more accurately, with bones).

Xie Yuchen, Pan Zi, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was also admiration in his eyes.

Zhang Qiling and "Zhang Qiling" never made a move from beginning to end.

I just watched quietly.

Until Hei Xiazi finished dealing with it.

Zhang Qiling then shifted his gaze from the giant python's corpse.

They were thrown back into the depths of the cave.

That pit filled with bones.

Zhang Qiling also looked in that direction.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

pit.

It seems to be more than just bones.

The flashlight beam was focused on that direction.

In the center of the pile of bones, there was nothing.

The outline of a stone platform is faintly visible.

The stone platform is black.

There seems to be something carved on it.

And around the stone platform.

Some broken pottery jars were scattered around.

The ground around the jar.

The color is darker than in other areas.

It looked like it had been soaked in some kind of liquid for a long time.

It has a sweet, fishy, ​​and putrid odor.

It was from that direction.

It emanates in its most intense form.

Wu Xie's cell phone.

It vibrated again.

He looked down.

It's still the same number.

The information is shorter.

Only three words:

"Look at the jar."
