Chapter 1330 - The Puppets' Sanskrit
Chapter 1330: The Puppets’ Sanskrit
Someone suddenly interrupted Li Hailou’s words and pointed behind him. “W-What is that thing!”
Perhaps it was because his expression was too panicky, or perhaps it was because the uncomfortable feeling just now was still lingering in the atmosphere.
Everyone looked in the direction that his finger was pointing at!
There were indeed things, one after another, standing in the thick fog, as if they were hidden in the surroundings and were looking at them.
At the beginning, they didn’t notice it.
Now, it looked a little like a person?
No, that’s not right!
How could there be people here?
But if that wasn’t a person, then what could it be?
In an instant!
While the soldiers raised the guns in their hands, their minds were stretched to the limit, just in case something might happen.
However, nothing happened after quite some time…
The strange thing was that those people didn’t move at all, and each one of them seemed very stiff.
It was as if they were stuck there.
The soldiers could not help but look at each other.
They felt that this place was very strange.
If it wasn’t for the captain, they might have stayed in the same place for the rest of their lives.
But now, they had come to such a godforsaken place.
The snakes on the ground were also very strange. It was as if they were hibernating, although it was quite unlikely that they would do so.
“Captain, what should we do now? The place is still far away, and we’re separated by the fog. But why are there people here?” Li Hailou also gritted his teeth, for he really didn’t want to utter the word ‘people’.
Because the fact that some unknown people would exist here was too strange in itself!
Right then, Bai Zhun narrowed his eyes. “Those shouldn’t be humans.”
“Not humans? What are they then?” Li Hailou trembled. To be honest, no matter how mighty he was, he wasn’t as calm as Bai Zhun when it came the unknown.
In fact, no one could act like Bai Zhun.
Li Hailou didn’t understand what was going on with him. Could it be that people who had been to the mountains were all like this.
Or could it be that all the direct relatives of the Tang Family were like this.
Were there no dirty things in their eyes?
Bai Zhun tilted his head and raised his gun to the side. “They look like mannequins which have been placed there some time ago.”
“Mannequins?” Li Hailou heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought you would say something like dead bodies or ghosts.”
Just then, Bai Zhun raised his eyebrows. “Although it’s hard to see clearly here, one thing is certain. These things that look like humans don’t wear clothes. Whether they’re dead bodies or ghosts, they will wear clothes. If they are not wearing white clothes flutter, then it’s not the kind you think. There was a luster on their bodies just now. It should be the wood wax that was applied earlier. That could very well be the exit. Let’s all go over.”
Li Hailou was surprised to hear that from Master Bai. How could he still figure out what those things were wearing clothes or not?!
A few people followed Bai Zhun from left to right.
There were a lot of snakes in this place.
It was a bit like entering a snake hole.
Most of the snakes were hanging on the trees.
They all looked listless, but their eyes were more vicious than the poisonous snakes they had seen before.
And the strangest thing was…
Every snake here seemed to be growing.
That’s right!
It was growing!
For example, when someone stepped on it just now, that snake was still 40 centimeters long, but now it had grown to about 42 centimeters.
If it was anyone else, they might not be able to see such a minute difference. However, they were all special forces, so they were very sensitive to distance and length!
How could this be?
If everything was growing at such a fast speed…
Then it was simply unimaginable!
Moreover, only this circle of snakes looked like this. The others did not.
However, the terrifying thing was that many of the snakes began to crawl towards that place.
Bai Zhun was right. The ones standing there were puppets. One after another, there were many puppets.
They were not tall, but there were things on them. On the contrary, they were all short, with delicate little faces and bodies that had yet to grow up.
It was obvious that these puppets were children that had yet to grow up.
Judging from their clothing and workmanship, these puppets did not look new. They should have been made quite some time ago. They looked a little like the Tang dynasty, but they were not entirely the same. This was because some of the clothing still had kasaya on them, giving them the style of the western regions.
However, the problem corps did not have the mood to look at these puppets anymore.
All their attention was placed on the snakes.
Each one of them grew bit by bit, causing the people who grew them to panic.
“Captain, what should we do now?” someone asked Bai Zhun.
Originally, their mission was to take back the things that the foreign enemy had taken out from their territory and protect the secrets of China.
However, not only were they unable to get through, they also discovered something.
This place was like a huge nutrient pool, and it had a deep influence on snakes.
If they allowed things to develop, more and more snakes would come over. When they grew to a certain level, they would crawl out, and they would all be giant pythons.
For them, a giant python might be easy to deal with, and they could shoot their heads or break their seven inches.
Nevertheless, the python could be quite dangerous to the peaceful world outside the jungle.
For those white-collar workers who were still working, the old people who were eating breakfast, and the students who read books, it would be an unprecedented disaster.
Therefore, they couldn’t let these things run out!
Absolutely not!
As Bai Zhun clenched his right hand, the handle of the gun was stained with blood. “Those puppets are very strange.”
“Puppets?” Li Hailou was anxious. “Captain, why do you think of puppets at this time?”
Bai Zhun raised his eyes and glanced at him. “The snakes don’t dare to get close to them, and… For me, things that have existed for so many years without a trace of damage are not normal.”
With Bai Zhun’s reminder, everyone finally realized that those puppets were indeed abnormal.
Especially those pairs of eyes, it was as if… there really was a child’s soul living within them.
At this moment, there was a cracking sound!
Someone moved something.
The soldiers stood still looked closely.
It was those puppets. They seemed to be pulled by the invisible strings as they walked toward the soldiers step by step. Not only that, they seemed to be singing some kind of song.
At the beginning, the soldiers wanted to shoot them.
But when these puppets opened their mouths, they seemed to have lost their consciousness.
They only felt that the sound was extremely beautiful, like the sound of Buddha from an ancient temple, or like someone was telling the most ancient story. One after another, it was very sad and gentle, and it could make people feel an unprecedented peace from the bottom of their hearts..
