Lao Kaban was a rough man, originally at home he was also a real farmer, and had some taboo about the dead. After repeatedly warning them to guard the body well, he and Chaozi walked towards the depths of the cave together.
The dim light inside the cave was emitted from the rocks on the top of the cave, and one had to stoop to walk, so it shone on their two faces with a pale white. Old Ka said this was fluorescent stone, but Chaozi felt that it didn't seem like it, because fluorescent stone needed to absorb light sources to shine, while this seemed to be able to emit its own light.
Chao Zi was interested in such strange and unusual things, but these glowing objects seemed to be inside the stone and hadn't appeared yet, more like those white lights had penetrated through the stone and shone down.
Two men walked in this deep cave, perhaps also to boost their morale. Chaozi said that there might be night pearls here, and if they were all night pearls, then what would they do as soldiers? One person could knock a few back and guarantee wealth. However, Old Kaban was adamant that even if there were night pearls inside, they belonged to the country and couldn't be touched. Just as the two of them were arguing over whose the "night pearls" were, Chaozi's flashlight suddenly shone on a pile of white bones in front of him.
These white bones were all covered with a thick layer of silken substance on the outside, and both of them felt a wave of nausea. The bones piled up high, lying horizontally and vertically, leaving only a narrow path in the middle that could barely allow one person to pass through sideways.
The two of them were discussing whether to continue advancing or not. Chao Zi said that since they had already found one, they should first send someone down the mountain to inform the others and have them come together before proceeding. Most of their comrades-in-arms were injured and needed treatment, and the situation here might be more complicated.
But the old squad leader felt that since their mission was to find the search and rescue team, now they have only found one of them, which means they haven't completed the instructions given by their superiors. As soldiers, obeying orders is their duty, so they must continue searching.
In the end, Old Card, as the class leader, had no choice but to let Chaozi follow him and continue walking inside.
These bones all appear to be from animals, ranging in size from rabbits to yaks, and there are also many wolves. What's even stranger is that in this desolate place, they discovered a large number of bronze ritual vessels. Superzi, due to his family background, had the first reaction of finding an ancient tomb, and immediately became spirited and excitedly crawled inside until he saw five wrapped-up and cocoon-like white corpses hanging upside down from the cave ceiling, at which point he was stunned.
Why is it said to be a corpse? Because one of the hands was not fully wrapped and exposed a few fingers. Old Kaban didn't say a word and wanted to rush up and take down the person, after all five corpses were put down, they opened another cocoon, and inside, only the dry body remained.
Lao Kaban decided to stay behind and continue to row the boat, while Chaozi went ashore to shout for help, so that they could bring the body back. They confirmed that this was indeed one of the six missing exploration team members, as the backpack and clothes were wrapped inside.
Chao Zi took the order and rushed out hastily, just as he reached Bai Gu's place, the gun inside fired. His heart skipped a beat, as a reconnaissance unit, opening fire was only possible in extremely special situations, that is, when life was threatened!
He didn't have time to think, turned his head and ran inside, the gunfire stopped after only two shots. He shouted Old Ka's name in front of those corpses, but there was no response, Old Ka had vanished!
Just as he was about to search, the gunfire outside suddenly became chaotic, and one head couldn't take care of another. Chaozi hurried back with his 81 rifle, wondering if the wolf pack had come again. Before he reached the entrance, a loud explosion sounded, and flames burst in from outside, knocking Chaozi to the ground with a massive shockwave. He knew it was a hand grenade that had exploded!
He waited until he stumbled to the entrance of the cave, only to see a ground full of corpses, a gruesome sight, with human bodies and incomplete claws, the same kind of claws he saw here today, but much smaller.
Lao Kaban Chang, never managed to walk out of the cave again. Only two small warriors remained, who rushed out under the cover of their comrades: a young man from Jiangxi and He Yichao.
According to Xiao Lao's description, shortly after they entered the cave, the corpse at the entrance underwent a change. Countless fist-sized spiders crawled out from inside the corpse, and at first, they just felt their scalps numb, but those spiders pounced on the warriors like hungry wolves seeing sheep. The people who were caught off guard were bitten by these extremely fast-moving spiders and immediately fell to the ground, unable to move or escape, and died.
After the sound of gunfire had passed, the originally wounded warriors were nowhere near able to deal with these sudden enemies, and they fell one after another. Just as it seemed that the entire army was about to be annihilated, Deputy Squad Leader pulled the pin on a hand grenade and gave a vicious kick to Little Old Table who was standing at the outermost position, sending him flying outwards.
Later, Chaozi pulled Xiao Laozhang back with difficulty. The team immediately launched a rescue operation and a large number of soldiers armed to the teeth arrived at the unfamiliar cave in batches. Finally, after paying the price of three lives, they found Lao Ka who had become a mummy.
According to the herders in the Tibetan area, this is a Snow Wolf Spider that has not been seen for hundreds of years. They only knew about its existence through oral traditions passed down from their ancestors.
To prevent the spider from crawling out of the snowy mountain and harming more people, the leader of the team thoroughly blasted the cave and buried this tragic history. Because there are many things that cannot be made public, once they are made public, the entire Tibetan region will fall into a state of terror.
After listening to Chaozi's account, even Cha Wenbin felt deeply grieved, let alone Zhuo Xiong, who had fought alongside him and could understand the strange occurrences in that mysterious place.
"Another species from there, don't you think it's strange, Old Wang?" asked Zha Wenbin. The corpse silkworm was also from there, Zhuo Xiong had encountered one before, and now this Snow Domain Wolf Spider is also from there, not to mention that Stone Daddy often becomes its food.
Old Wang has been to many places in his life, and their organization is even more so. However, that place is the least mentioned in their records. Because it's too mysterious, so mysterious that even they can't collect more detailed information, and that person had confessed before, it's their forbidden zone.
Shitou Die can basically confirm that he died in the mouth of this snow domain wolf spider, as for how he got here, Cha Wenbin still doesn't know, but he knows he can't stay here anymore, however what he wants to find is not far away. Because spiders are always accompanied by another thing, which is a tomb.
When Cha Wenbin helped many people move graves, he would often find spider tracks in the grave. No matter how well the tomb was sealed, there would always be a web of spiders. Nobody knew how they got in. But from these webs, he could tell whether the owner of the grave lived well or not below, because different webs represented different meanings, and the spider became the messenger tube for the owner of the grave. Generally, he did not want to kill this insect.
"We'd better get out of here quickly, since he's come, it means there's an unusual presence here, although we were one step ahead but lost our lives, it also warned us that the danger here far exceeds our expectations."
After burying Shi Tou Die, everyone gathered in a small area, and Cha Wenbin didn't plan to give him super relief. As a person who cultivates the ghost way, as long as he goes underground, those people he harmed during his lifetime will go to seek revenge from him. Although hatred can be resolved through Taoist rituals, some grudges are irreconcilable, so many people do wrong things and often need to spend their whole lives accumulating virtues and doing good deeds to cultivate themselves in order to seek peace for their souls after death.
Since there are snow wolf spiders appearing here, there must be more than one. As expected, as they advanced, these spider webs were seen everywhere, some of which were already very old and worn out, probably due to the wind and rain.
No matter how much this conforms to legend, it's just their speculation. For thousands of years, the Foolish Old Man could move mountains; why can't people create another myth?!
This is a pyramid-shaped bamboo forest. When they walked to the highest point of this bamboo forest, which is the top of the pyramid, a large empty space was exposed in front of them. There were no bamboos, nor spiders, only collapsed brick walls and broken stone carvings. This was a square, an abandoned square.
The wind here is very strong, so strong that the soul flag standing in the middle of the square is waving in the wind. The big red ghost seal on it is twisting its body like a crimson earthworm, telling people that this is not a place you should come to.
Cha Wenbin stood here, with a feeling of overlooking the mountains and rivers. His slightly trembling lips made his forehead sweat, but it was soon blown away by the wind.
"Ah, it's been a long time... Wen Bin finally spoke up: 'The central palace of the west and south is the position of death. We're done for.'"
