His expression was one of extreme horror, as if he had seen something very terrible.
His body was trembling, and he stood up and wanted to run, but his whole body kept moving, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
poisonous? !
His consciousness was very clear, but his body was limp and weak, and he could barely move his fingers.
With a creak, the door opened, and Miao Qingfeng walked in from the outside with a smile on her face.
"Congratulations, the clan leader has decided to go to the God Burial Lake. The time is almost up. Get ready to enjoy the scenery on the lake."
The night is quiet, especially in this seemingly paradise place.
Next to the stockade, there is a large lake. Looking at it at night, it is quiet and calm.
On the shore next to the lake, there are a few torches and a few people. In the lake water on the shore, there is a small bamboo raft with a person lying on it.
Um!
His eyes were really big and he made a whining sound.
"Go." Miao Xihe said, and then the two of them exerted force, and the bamboo raft was pushed into the lake, with a bunch of torches on the head of the bamboo raft.
Hurrah, the flames are floating.
This bamboo raft magically headed toward the lake.
There was a splash in the water. If you look closely, you will see a group of tiny fish. They have gathered under the bamboo raft for some reason, swimming in different directions, urging the bamboo raft to float towards the lake.
No, no, no!
The man shouted in his heart. He opened his mouth, but he could only make a whining sound. He could clearly hear the clattering sound coming from the bamboo raft under him. His face was pale and his eyes were wide open. It was very big, and his body was filled with fear, but now he couldn't even tremble in fear.
Beside the lake, those few people stood there quietly. Looking at the bamboo rafts on the lake getting further and further away.
With a crash, the calm water surface of the lake was shattered by something, and a huge figure flashed across the lake.
After hearing this sound, the man lying on the bamboo raft felt his heart skip a beat, and then his mind went blank. What he was most worried about began to happen. In fact, the sound was not loud, but he knew that it was The sound of calling for life is like a person holding a bright knife and constantly gesticulating in front of your eyes. Sometimes he puts it on your neck, sometimes on your chest, and sometimes he tests it. Stabbing your eyeballs, you are sure that this knife will eventually pierce your body, but you don't know when it will pierce or where it will pierce.
Sometimes, what is more terrifying than death is that you know you are going to die, but you cannot avoid it. The fear before death is the most tortured.
No one can avoid death, the key is how to die.
In age, it is undoubtedly the happiest thing to pass away peacefully in your sleep without any illness or disaster.
Struggling, fearing, and dying in pain is undoubtedly the most tragic way.
Crash, the water surface made a sound again.
The swimming fish that originally gathered under the bamboo rafts have disappeared. The bamboo rafts have almost reached the center of the lake, floating quietly there.
Gudong, Gudong,
The man heard his own heartbeat.
Wow,
A huge figure appeared under the bamboo raft.
Woo,
A sharp sound suddenly sounded from the shore next to the lake.
With a crash, the water surface was broken, water splashed, and a huge figure poked its head out.
Click,
Blood spattered, the bamboo raft was bitten to pieces, and the back of the person on the bamboo raft was bitten into two pieces. One piece was still floating on the water. The blood stained a large area of the lake red, but the other piece went somewhere unknown. .
The pain was short-lived, and the middle-aged man died instantly.
Wow, the huge figure appeared again and swallowed the remaining part of the body into its belly.
The water soon returned to calm, but the pool of blood showed that something terrible had just happened here.
With a splash, another group of fish appeared in the water. They came into the lake filled with blood and kept shuttling back and forth, seemingly very excited.
On the shore, Miao Xihe quietly watched what happened just now without saying a word.
Bamboo rafts were broken, people died,
After a while, he turned around quietly and left.
"Well, one!" Miao Qingfeng said.
He moved his body for a while and then left.
Several other people also left one after another.
It's as if nothing happened here.
The village is still the same village.
In the early morning, the sun pierced the darkness, and the sky was bright.
He County, hundreds of miles away.
Guo Zhenghe, who had just arrived in the office, looked at the file bag on his desk in a daze.
"here we go again?!"
He looked around and saw that the windows were closed and the things around him were still in their original positions. Everything was as usual.
He walked to the desk, looked at the file bag, thought for a moment, took out a pair of gloves from the desk drawer, put them on, and then gently tried the file bag. It was very thin, and there seemed to be a few hard pictures in it. Paper.
After opening it, I found several photos.
One picture shows several people holding torches, standing by the lake.
etc!
A corner of the photo is circled in red pen.
That was a person lying on a bamboo raft,
The next picture shows bamboo rafts floating towards the lake.
The next one is still,
This is? !
When he saw the other picture, Guo Zhenghe was stunned.
There was a huge black shadow in the lake.
Although it was at night, the equipment used to take this photo was very advanced and it was very clear.
This was a fish, a very big fish, more than ten meters tall according to visual inspection, and the reference was the bamboo raft with a person lying on it.
Continuing to look down, he saw a very bloody scene. The ferocious beast jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and cut the bamboo raft and the person on it into two pieces. splash.
Guo Zhenghe carefully looked through the picture several times.
This is where
The first thing he thought of was the "Thousand Medicine Valley". He once heard Xu Xinyuan mention that there seemed to be a lake in the "Thousand Medicine Valley".
Hiss, take a deep breath.
There was another meeting in the morning. After finishing the meeting, he immediately went out, made an appointment with Xu Xinyuan, and gave him the photo.
"This is?!"
Xu Xinyuan looked at it carefully. When he saw the big fish, he was stunned.
"Thousand Medicine Valley, this is Thousand Medicine Valley!" Xu Xinyuan said.
"Uncle Xu, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I've been there and was very impressed by the lake. I didn't expect there to be such a monster in the lake!" He was also very surprised.
"Sir, who gave you this photo?"
"I don't know. When I went to the office in the morning, it was already on my desk, staying there quietly. There was nothing unusual in the whole room." Guo Zhenghe said.
He is very disgusted with this silent approach. What does it mean? You can enter his office quietly. This place should be one of the most closely guarded places in the entire county. You can enter his office quietly. If you enter here silently, can you also enter the place where he lives silently? Especially when he is sleeping at night, a person can quietly come to your bed and watch you sleeping soundly. , at this time, can he do anything, including taking your life? !
Thinking about these things, Guo Zhenghe felt scared.
Such an awesome person can exist in He County, but the prerequisite is that it is controllable and under his control, such as Xu Xinyuan sitting opposite him, and other people, not!
"Who did this and what was his purpose?"
"The purpose is obvious. It is aimed at Thousand Medicine Valley." Guo Zhenghe said.
"Then why did you give it to Young Master? Do you think you have any grudge against Thousand Medicine Valley?"
Guo Zhenghe did not speak, but picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.
"Tell me, is the person on the bamboo raft alive or dead?"
"This, but you can't tell from the photo. This person was relatively far away when the photo was taken, but according to my guess, this person is probably alive." Xu Xinyuan said.
"What's the name of this lake?"
"It's called God Burial Lake."
"God Burial Lake, what a strange name!" Guo Zhenghe said.
"This should be a special ceremony." Xu Xinyuan looked through the photos again, "Wait a minute!"
He seemed to have discovered something, so he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked carefully.
"What, did you find anything?"
"It is certain that this person is alive."
"oh?"
"Look carefully, in these photos, his arms have moved. Obviously, his body must have been anesthetized and in a weak state when he was on the bamboo raft."
"You just said this was a ritual, what kind of ritual?"
"This lake is called God Burial Lake. The name sounds unusual. This monster did not grow so big in one day. I think the people in this village will regularly offer sacrifices to this lake, or to this monster, with sacrifices. It may contain living people."
