395, the ancient city of the jungle
I was about to dodge and dodge, when I suddenly remembered that not far behind me was the big rock, and on the big stone, there were dozens of brothers of the Splendid Alliance, who were already crowded at the moment.
If I dodge and dodge, the dragon will inevitably climb to the big rock, and at that time, I am afraid that these dozens of people will be swept under the waterfall by its tail to feed the king.
I urged the aura in my body, and the nine shadows burst out, and the light and flames around me suddenly exploded, and the wildfire that swept the plain, along the cliff, burned towards the dragon.
The monster did not retreat, but advanced, relying on its rough skin and thick flesh, and rushed straight into the fire.
I was taken aback, and I saw it crawling towards me at a rapid pace, with a large mouth of blood, spewing out clouds of black mist, and those flames were sprayed by the black mist, and they were immediately extinguished, and soon let this beast, alive in a sea of fire, kill a bloody path.
It's just that the farther it goes to the center, the dazzling light of the fire makes it hiss, as if it is in great pain.
But it still doesn't mean to back down, maybe it has discovered my intentions.
The dragon was very cunning, it had already set its sights on the dozens of living prey on the boulder.
I was immediately angry, and it seemed that I had underestimated the way of this beast.
So, with a turn of thought, I urged my true qi, and a pale cyan light flame suddenly burst out all around my body.
"It's a real fire. ”
The fire that was originally stirring up the plain, churning with red tongues of fire, suddenly turned cyan, churning up bursts of blazing heat.
The dragon suddenly hissed and tossed desperately in the sea of fire.
At the same time, I smelled a scorching smell in my nostrils.
This pure green true fire was hotter and hotter than the original, and in a few moments, the beast was already scarred, tumbling and jumping out of the range of the sea of fire, and crumbling on the cliff wall.
I shouted, "Shoot at it." ”
The dozens of people on the boulder, who were opening their mouths wide and looking dumbfounded, suddenly heard my shout, and they were all stunned, and they raised their guns in their hands one after another, and pulled the trigger on the head of the dragon on the cliff not far away.
I heard an earth-shattering sound of crackling, and the snake's body froze, and it rolled and fell down like a kite with a broken string towards the bottom of the waterfall, making a loud bang. It stirred up a big mist of water.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and jumped onto the boulder.
Someone on the boulder asked, "Master Di, is it dead?"
I stretched out my mind and looked down, and found that the beast was not dead, but after a while in the water, it dived deep into the water.
I shook my head and said, "It's not dead, but it won't dare to come up for a while." ”
The crimson pool of water proved that the beast was not lightly injured.
"But we've got to get out of here," I reminded the group, starting to organize them to form a long line and walk down the cliff.
Who knows if that thing will come up and fight us desperately?
The last person was sent off, and I followed behind the crowd.
Half an hour later, we finally stepped on the ground safely, and the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe made everyone excited.
Zhu Lin and Zhao Kun were waiting for us at the bottom of the cliff, and when the two waves of people met, they couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Zhao Kun's face has improved a lot, just two eyes, still a little stunned, and a little divergent.
The kid was frightened, and the old man slapped him twice just now before he became sober. But that ghost thing, it's crazy enough, how can there be such a thing in this place? The old man has lived a long time, and he can only be regarded as having gained insight last time. Zhu Lin said with emotion.
We packed up and counted the number of people, one no more and one no less. Only then did I and Zhu Lin lead us to the hinterland of this jungle.
This time, I had a target, the footprints of the wild men in the jungle were clearly visible, and I watched carefully, spreading my mind and perceiving everything within a three-kilometer radius.
I saw that the sun was getting wester and wester, and the light in the jungle was getting worse and worse.
But it's much better than in the underground river.
After walking for more than an hour, the sky finally got dark.
I discussed it with Zhu Lin and decided that everyone would find a place to eat first, get something to eat, and then have a good rest.
Then send someone to investigate the situation around the place.
They had reached the hinterland of the savages, and they did not dare to make a fire in the jungle, so everyone could only find a small clearing in the forest and sit down to rest.
The crowd took it, used tablets to kill the poison of the mountain spring water, and swallowed some dry food.
After being so frightened along the way, many people still have palpitations, and they have been supporting it until now. As soon as they stopped, everyone suddenly felt as if the bones in their bodies were falling apart, and they were uncomfortably tight.
After a while, many people fell asleep from exhaustion while eating dry food.
I also rested on the root of the tree for a while, and the surging true qi in my body made me have an inexhaustible power.
After a moment, I felt like I was alive again.
I stood up and circled around everyone twice, making sure that there was no real threat within a radius of three kilometers, and then I walked to Zhu Lin's side and said, "Senior Zhu, you and everyone are resting here for a while, and I'll go to Qianqian to explore the way first." ”
Zhu Lin did not object, and told me to be careful.
Farewell, I walked through the forest alone, without any burden, and the speed was naturally not the same, but I had no idea how many wild people there were in this forest, so I couldn't completely abandon them.
Even if I have hands and eyes to the sky, one more person will always have more strength.
The wild man kidnapped Zheng Dashao and his party of four, if they were found at that time, the wild people would swarm and run away with the people, where should I go to find them again? With the help of the Splendid Alliance, my chances of victory are undoubtedly a little greater.
The full moon soon rose into the sky, and it was a fifteenth night.
I walked rapidly through the woods, startling birds from time to time.
Expanding my senses, my scope of exploration is also very broad. But as far as the eye could see, there was an endless sea of trees, except for the long, uninterrupted footprints, which guided me on the forest ground, and made me believe that there was really someone I was looking for. Anything else, just interferes with my vision.
I don't know how much time has passed, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is almost midnight.
The edge of my consciousness finally touched something out of the ordinary.
It was a long city wall, undetectable from the left and right, and five or six meters high.
I was amazed, how could there be a city wall in this primeval forest?
I skimmed the highest treetops to see what was going on.
When I actually went up, a magnificent picture appeared in front of my eyes.
As far as my eye could see, I saw an ancient Chinese city, standing majestically on the horizon in the distance. The city was majestic and magnificent, and it was extremely civil.
Could it be that I'm back outside the mountain, and this is a film and television city, or is it a tourist city that retains its ancient walls?
Puzzled, I swept forward as fast as I could on the treetops, just wanting to get there as quickly as possible.
As I got closer and closer, I found that the city seemed to be a deserted city, and there was a dead silence there, except for a little fire in the center of the city.
Curiosity emboldened me to move forward regardless of it.
When I got to the bottom of the wall, I really saw that the wall was far more than five or six meters high as I thought, but there was a thick layer of soil under the wall, and the roots of the wall had been buried more than a meter into it.
The city walls were broken and dilapidated, overgrown with intertwined shrubs. A towering tree surrounded by several people is growing in the hole of the city gate, holding the top of the door hole, like a huge palm, supporting the city gate and not collapsing.
It was a ginkgo tree, at least 2,000 years old.
The huge canopy, like a golden crown, stood out in the moonlight.
I was stunned for a while, and it took me a long time to react.
Jumping off the treetops, I walked step by step towards the gate hole, stepping on the soft earth as if I were stepping on a Persian carpet, silently.
As soon as I entered the city gates, I spotted traces of human activity.
In a rubble ruin, you can occasionally see small sheds built by people for the benefit of the place, and in the sheds, there are traces of fires and food residues.
A few wild dogs and wild cats haunted the broken walls, their eyes flashing with vigilance.
I walked carefully among the long grass, where I could still make out the traces of the streets of the past, and from time to time I could step on the exposed green bricks and human bones hidden in the grass.
It seems that this place has gone through a brutal massacre, and it must have been full of bones.
After walking a few steps, I found the traces of the wild men, a group of wild men, on the central avenue, carrying water towards the middle of the city. They used simple wooden sticks, in groups of two, carrying mottled bronze tripods with mottled embroidery, and were struggling to move forward.
I held my breath in excitement and ducked behind the broken wall, carefully observing them.
They also have their own language, and they are chattering to each other, not knowing what they are saying.
This is the second time I've really come into contact with savages since I entered the valley.
The first time was when I dodged the following victorious man.
I hope that this time I can smoothly take Zheng Dashao and his party and all of them successfully escape from here.
I cautiously followed behind the coolies who were carrying the water, four or five hundred meters away.
Soon, I spotted batch after batch of savages, and the number of them was so great that it was staggering.
They gathered in groups around a huge platform and built countless tents, and the things used to build them were of all kinds, most of them natural leaves, plantain leaves, palm leaves, and birch bark......
There were occasional fancy things inside, which were actually modern outdoor tents, and even some metal shields, coffin boards, and decaying wooden doors.
It can be seen that this place is not completely closed, and there must have been a few humans who have visited here for thousands of years.
With my little thumping heart in my hand, I dodged and hid in a big tree on the outskirts of the platform, which was another civilization reborn in the ruins of civilization, but they were clearly still in a state of ignorance.
But suddenly there was a question mark in my mind: Who built this city, and how many years have passed since it?
I don't know.
I only saw that the high platform surrounded by the wild men was obviously the work of their own, and they had built this pyramid-like platform with a height of 100 feet from the construction waste of the city.
The materials used to build the high platform are all-encompassing, including large stone rollers, bolted horse stones, strip stones, blue bricks, and even huge stone lions, and a few stout Chinese watches, stone tablets, tiles, and even human skulls embedded in the hollows therein, making this ancient pyramid, like a tomb of human civilization, standing crookedly in a firelight, looking so vicissitudes and so weird.
I carefully observed the social structure of these savages, and found that they had entered a matriarchal clan society, and all of them were gathered in groups of women and several men, and countless children.
Women's position in the family is irreplaceable, and all the dirty work is basically done by men.
Watch as the people gather around the fire, barbecuing the tubers and meat of all kinds of plants. A burst of aroma and burnt fragrance came to the face.
This population is about two or three hundred people. Their chief has not yet been found.
At this time, under the reflection of the firelight, I suddenly noticed a few flashes of light.
That's obviously the sheen that only stainless steel can emit. I was taken aback, and I looked intently, and I actually saw that a wild man was holding a portable kettle, boiling water on the fire, and the style and brand were clearly bought from Song Ruyi's store this time.
There are also two marching pots and a space cup, all in the hands of that family.
The space cup has been burned and deformed by them, and it is used as a child's toy, and it has been kicked around by a few little savages.
That's Zhang Mengmeng's thing.
I was overjoyed in my heart, the things are in the hands of these people, which proves that Zheng Dashao and them must be in the hands of this group of savages.
But all of a sudden, I became worried again, wondering if these savages were eating people or not.
If they were eating people, would they have skinned Zheng Dashao and eaten meat?
Thinking of this, my scalp tingled for a while, and I began to desperately look for Zheng Dashao's personal things.
If the wildlings had eaten them, the clothes would have been left behind.
In the blink of an eye, I really found a light blue jacket, spread in a shed, used as a quilt by the savage, and a little savage was sleeping peacefully on it.
Could it be that they were all really eaten!!
