724 Operation Rainforest (12)
Full of devastation - the scene Li Huan saw can only be described in four words.
Because Li Huan specially ordered to leave two to lead the way, and the speed of Wangcai and the ocelot was not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators, Li Huan opened a considerable distance from the large army in a very short period of time. Anyway, he didn't worry that the people behind him wouldn't be able to keep up, Wangcai was a heavy chariot along the road that crashed out of the road, which was very easy to identify. Everyone couldn't get up to Li Huan's speed, but Li Huan didn't dare to slow down, following the direction of the soul thread, the deeper Li Huan went, the more he found that the surrounding jungle began to become wrong.
A huge aura reaction appeared a few kilometers ahead, which happened to be one of the pyramids that the child machine saw, and it also happened to be the direction in which the soul thread came from. Li Huan dared to swear that there were no pyramids here a few days ago, where did they come out in an instant, how did they come out, probably after seeing it, all the puzzles were solved.
"Whew!"
When there were still two kilometers away from the pyramid, the two ocelots behind Wangcai's ass suddenly howled, no longer following behind Li Huan's buttocks, but running in the opposite direction, Li Huan was slightly stunned, and was thinking about the two leading the way.
Approaching the pyramid, the concentration of dead qi increased rapidly, and the sky seemed to become cloudy in an instant, and the air carried the smell of blood that could not be dissolved.
Looking up at the sky, the sky was full of haze, mixed with thick clouds of filthy and dead air, like indissolable ink, which were roughly splashed over the rainforest, and the miserable white sun was powerless to penetrate the unknown thick clouds, so that it could only leave a vague white halo in the sky to prove its existence.
The surrounding trees, no longer overgrown by the aura, but all showed a sickly posture, an inexplicable force soaked their branches, infecting their bodies from every gap in the roots and leaves, the large gray-green rotten patches of gray-brown trunks were shocking, and the dry and deformed branches also struggled to reach into the sky, as if desperately grasping the last ray of sunlight above.
A piece of rotten smell.
Beneath these trees, which are no longer able to tell whether they are living plants or "dead", is a layer of decaying humus, where the black-red soil is no longer a sign of fertility, but a sign of corruption, and the earth that used to be full of life has now become a hotbed of death, and the soil is cemented into pieces of black particles, during which there is a faint fishy odor that is disgusting.
The rainforest, which had been full of life just a few days ago, seemed to be a ruined place forgotten by the living in an instant.
"Why do you suddenly feel that the dimensions of the world are different......" Li Huan muttered to himself: "This is finally the end of all human beings, does Resident Evil and the world of Silent Hill coincide...... Xiao Fei, did you say that this ancient civilization had contact with aliens, and all of this was actually created by aliens?"
That's right, the closer you get to the pyramid, the stronger the feeling of being in a different world gives Li Huan, and as the surrounding scenes become more and more decorated, that feeling is close to reality. If I had to define this scenario, it would be a combination of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. This witchcraft is terrifying, the pyramids that can rise from the ground, the ubiquitous threads of the soul, as if the world created by the combination of biochemistry and witchcraft, if Ernest saw this scene, he would definitely die of shame. is known as a genius in biochemical technology, but he can't even compare to the witchcraft created by an ancient civilization.
Although the Aztecs did not have much technology, they had some traces of a cross-era civilization that have not been explained until now. In addition to the representative pyramid temples and countless gold and silver treasures, archaeologists have also excavated a number of strangely shaped ancient relics, in fact, these ancient relics have been deliberately concealed for decades, until recent years, they have been officially announced.
From these mysterious antiquities, you can see the Aztecs coming into contact with alien civilizations. Aliens descending from the sky and considered gods of the Aztecs.
These UFO-shaped artifacts clearly show the shape of the UFO as a whole, as well as the details of the portholes on the UFO. It should be mentioned here that including those ancient petroglyphs depicting aliens descending on Earth, the ancients actually had a certain reference for creating these stone statues, just as ancient humans depicted the scenes of daily hunting and sacrifice on the rock wall, and it is very likely that the Aztecs witnessed the scene of the arrival of flying saucers and even had some kind of contact with these advanced alien civilizations, and these stone statues are the most powerful evidence.
And such carved artifacts are found in the artifacts excavated from the Aztecs.
Mainstream scientists have long dismissed these artifacts as nothing more than the brains of the ancients, and the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation among tribes have been repeatedly ignored as baseless myths. Due to the limitations of science and technology, the ancients had limited cognition, and it was a normal thing to regard the magical visitors as gods, just like our high-tech spaceship landed in the isolated Amazon primitive tribes, they would also worship us as gods, the ancients could not have professional words to describe the scene they saw like modern people, and could only use some approximate or figurative images to describe, although it was somewhat exaggerated, but it did not affect the fact that extraterrestrial intelligent life had descended on the earth!
Whether others believe it or not, anyway, when it comes to Li Huan, isn't there an alien living in his body.
"This ...... I can't judge, but all I can tell you is that there are aliens. Xiao Fei said dryly, she actually felt quite shocked by this scene: "But don't forget, this is a combination of the wisdom of two ancient civilizations to create witchcraft. Even if they didn't understand science at that time, it definitely didn't mean that they couldn't create similar biochemical technology. Don't forget the stitching monster. β
Dumbo is talking about "Quetzalcoatl".
Xiao Fei is right, for super ancient civilizations like Aztec and ancient Egypt, they are actually accompanied by deification from the moment they are born. Their long ethnic history is full of strange myths and tricks. It can be said that the technology trees they take are not the same path as the current human race, and it is a little too narrow to judge them with the thinking of the current human being.
The most direct example is the "Quetzalcoatl", that kind of thing Li Huan personally saw, its ability to resist blows is amazingly strong, even if it is placed in modern times, with modern technology to create, and concentrate the world's high-end technology, it may not be able to recreate such a monster, just by virtue of this, who dares to underestimate their technology? What's more, they have mastered not only these crooked technology trees, but also the mysterious and unknown powers, combining technology with these unknown powers, the achievements made can only make people break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Xiao Fei didn't think the blow was big enough, and added one: "And according to your system, they may have mastered quite powerful soul spells, which is beyond the reach of science." β
That's right, look at the soul thread like a map cannon, and let people not live?!
It's crooked.,The technology tree that can create Quetzalcoatl.,All kinds of unknown powers.,Soul spells.,Plus 20,000 lives sacrifice.,Mutant witchcraft from ancient Egypt.,It's not letting people live.γ Before discussing it with Xiaofei, Li Huan still felt that he could be hard-hearted, and after discussing it, Li Huan felt that he was also a little cowardly.
However, in view of the fact that these problems are too headaches, Li Huan decided - I don't want to, don't do it, otherwise what are you doing when you come in? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain......
"What a pungent smell...... Wangcai, do you smell it?"
While communicating with Xiao Fei all the way, getting closer and closer to the pyramid, Li Huan suddenly covered his nose, which was a kind of rotten smell of blood. The most creepy thing is that the lifeless atmosphere here makes people goosebumps all over the body.
"Whew!" Wangcai shook his head, it didn't like the smell.
"If you don't solve these dead gases, the big army won't be able to enter at all, this should also be the source of the shielding of the aura detection satellite......" Li Huan subconsciously kicked the ground with his foot, the fertile humus layer, and there were maggots wriggling with white flowers below, and those maggots with white flowers couldn't help but make Li Huan scold: "Disgusting!"
Just as the person who came in to investigate said, this place is full of death breath, air, water, and soil are infected by death breath, there is no doubt that these things that contain death breath are harmful to any living person, although this death gas is not as insoluble as the Flying Yaksha, but it is enough to erode the Qi refining spirit of the fifth layer or so. And if a sturdy ordinary person enters here without any defense, he will be tortured by disease and dying within a minute, even if a cultivator with a stronger physique than ordinary people can resist the breath of death with his own cultivation, it will definitely not be comfortable.
Of course, as for cultivators like Li Huan and them, who were about the eighth level of Qi refining, they could of course ignore such a death aura if they hesitated about the spiritual power barrier and the poisonous body tempered by the spiritual energy, but the foul smell of corruption in the air of this place was not acceptable if they were strong, to be precise, because their sense of smell was more sensitive than ordinary people...... So......
It's horrific that something could make the rainforest suddenly a dead place.
While enduring the smell in the air, Li Huan tried to use Xiao Fei's communication channel to connect to the outside, because of the strong death breath interference, all communication equipment was no longer available, but Xiao Fei's communication was really powerful, and it was connected, and Manager Chen's voice over there seemed very surprised: "Li Huan, can you still make a phone call inside?"
After speaking, Manager Chen hurriedly shouted: "Quick, connect my mobile phone signal to the outside and put it on, there is a communication inside!"
Immediately after, there was a ping-pong sound on the other side of the phone, mixed with some cheers, and it could be heard that it was extremely excited. As for why everyone is excited, because Li Huan and they have been in the rainforest for too long, these elites are cobbled together by dozens of national management agencies, and if they lose one, they will lose one, but since they entered the rainforest, the communication signal has been cut off for almost two hours, how can people outside not be in a hurry, Li Huan's phone call came out, and it was naturally a shot in the arm for everyone.
"Li Huan, why are you the only one who contacts us?" The voice that was busy over there stopped, it seemed that the signal had been picked up, and Manager Chen's voice came: "We still can't find other people's signals, and no one else has responded, how is the situation inside?"
"We have a good mobile communication signal. Of course, Li Huan couldn't say that it was Xiao Fei's credit, so he had to talk casually: "You can't see it outside, and the reconnaissance team hasn't found it, deep into the interior of the rainforest, three pyramids have appeared, which seem to be the source of those soul threads...... I've reached one of them, but I'm not close yet. The others were safe, I was ahead of the way, and they hadn't caught up yet. β
"Oh! It's still our Director Li!"
"Hahahaha, in the end, it depends on our Red Sea trade, Director Li is awesome!"
"This dead air is getting thicker and thicker, will there be any problems with the people inside?"
"Are you a fool? Have you ever heard that our Director Li cleaned up the Flying Yaksha!"
Hearing Li Huan say this on the phone, the employees of Red Sea Trade burst into cheers. Although the camp led by Citigroup felt very shameless when they heard this cheer, as long as everyone is safe, there is still hope to regain face.
Manager Chen suppressed the cheers of the crowd and asked on the phone: "Are you stretching the battle line too long by yourself, I think you should wait for others to join you, safety first." β
"There are three pyramids, I'm going to take a look first, to see what the situation is inside, there are so many pyramids, if you want to destroy it, you must divide the troops, you can't waste time, I will find out the situation of one of them first, and when the large army comes up, I will explain to them. Li Huan said: "I think the dead qi should be caused by these pyramids, if so, I will find a way to see if I can purify these dead qi." After all, the sun emblem is on my body. β
"Are you sure?" asked Manager Chen.
"Well, I've got to go see it first. Li Huan said: "Okay, I'll go over and have a look first." β
After speaking, Li Huan hung up the phone, and now the only communication channel between the outside world and the elite team in the rainforest was hung up like this - Manager Chen still wanted to give two instructions, but before he could say anything, there was only a busy sound on the phone......
After Li Huan hung up the phone, he hung a layer of spiritual power shield on himself, he had seen a bigger scene, the corrosive power of "divine blood" was much more than death, he was not afraid, after hanging a spiritual power shield on himself, Li Huan carefully let Wangcai advance in the humus layer full of death.
Really, it's disgusting, almost every piece of fallen yellow leaf is a wriggling maggot, the white flowers are twisted into a clump, and the surrounding eyes are the sickly yellow and red color, Wangcai walked away in disgust, and soon saw the pyramid that rose from the ground. This is a typical pyramid built by the Aztecs, on all sides, on top of which is a flat-topped altar, Li Huan can see clearly, the black gas rising into the sky, and the soul silk thread that is shrinking towards the top, is released from the top of the pyramid.
I really didn't guess wrong, the dead air that rose to the sky was released from these pyramids, and if the problem of the pyramids was solved, the dead air could dissipate. This pyramid is not high, only about 20 meters in appearance, compared with the "white phantom city", it is simply a son, but now the breath it emits is so impossible to ignore.
Li Huan was about to let Wangcai get closer to see clearly, when he suddenly heard a noise next to him. The noise was not spontaneous, but as if something had broken a dead branch. Li Huan hurriedly stopped, followed the prestige, and when he saw the source of the voice, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart and almost vomited.
What appeared in front of Li Huan was a guy whose body was almost rotten, but he was wearing fresh animal skins, and behind him was a group of guys with even more sluggish expressions, who looked even more tattered, and their bodies were full of rotten and dripping water - these guys had soul threads on their bodies, from the perspective of physics and biology, although Li Huan felt that they were too different from zombies such as purple zombies and green zombies, but this should also be zombies, and they were the most genuine walking corpses.
In fact, Li Huan has seen a lot of zombies, but it is obvious that although Chinese zombies are also resurrected from the dead, at least in terms of appearance, they are dignified, their skin is wrinkled, and their color is not so good-looking, but they are all personal appearances. This directly led to Li Huan's rather irrational optimism about the appearance of zombies, and as a result, this time he almost vomited when he was directly faced with the two most common zombies of the real nature......
Especially the pungent smell of these two guys...... I can't say it anymore.
Is this the resurrection of the Huangquan Guard? Li Huan didn't know.
But what do you do when you see zombies?
Li Huan took out the mountain copper broadsword and swung it twice, seeing Li Huan's movements, these guys also raised the weapons in their hands - the typical stone spear and stone axe of various Aztec eras, and rushed towards Li Huan without saying a word. Li Huan looked at the first guy who rushed up, covered in slime, he swung his knife and was about to cut this guy in half, but at the critical moment, he let the blade go of the opponent's body, and the heavy olivellite big knife smashed into the ground, with a loud bang, and the ground was smashed out of a large pit with a diameter of two meters.
Li Huan looked at the "zombie" in animal skin in disbelief, but the other party did not give up, and pounced on Li Huan again. Their movements are very mechanical and stiff, except for a terrifying shape with a deterrent bonus, looking at their movements, they may not even be able to defeat a well-trained soldier - this is the soldier of the Yellow Springs Guard, weak like this!?
And what surprised Li Huan the most was that although the surrounding dead air was thick, and the smell of blood and rancid smell came from these "zombies" one after another, but at the moment when Li Huan was about to slash with his knife, he was keenly aware of a serious problem! These "zombies" are not "zombies", and the surrounding breath of death is incompatible with them, to be precise, they do not have any breath of death on their bodies, on the contrary, there are bursts of breath of living people constantly coming......
Living!
This thing is a living person!
"Wait!" Li Huan once again let go of these guys' pounces: "Are you alive, are you dead? Can you understand what I say? Where did you come from? Why did so many pyramids suddenly rise?"
Li Huan's first impression when he saw these "zombies" was disgusting, and his second impression was confused.
Most of the zombies Li Huan has seen are incorruptible, which means that they are like steel and can withstand the ravages of time. For example, the level of Purple Zombie or Flying Yaksha, if it is not caused by external forces, they will almost never decay, and they will probably perish with the earth when the life span of the earth is reached.
And these guys are obviously not! Their bodies are rotten, although the degree of decay is different, but they are obviously fresh rot! So Li Huan dares to be 100% sure that these guys must have something to do with the Huangquan Guards - they are neither living nor dead, after dodging several attacks in a row, Li Huan simply used his mental power to touch them up and down, and finally made up his mind, and then almost vomited again. No wonder there is the breath of a living person, to be precise, the breath of a living thing. According to Li Huan's detailed examination of his mental power, it was finally determined that the breath of the living creatures came from the bodies of these monsters.
The organs in their bodies are alive, but they are not human organs......
Li Huan almost vomited again, those organs are extremely fresh, obviously dug up, no wonder I didn't see any other creatures along the way except for the leopard cat group, Li Huan carefully distinguished, those internal organs, almost all of them are spliced together by several animals, it is estimated that the large creatures in the rainforest have been killed by these guys, and as soon as the collector organs are spliced, it becomes a hodgepodge of human corpses and various animal internal organs, this is the so-called Aztec Empire returning to the world?
Those monsters are still constantly pounced on Li Huan, although there is no dead air on their bodies, but they are all connected to a soul silk thread, obviously, the "stitching monsters" that these people and various creatures put together are also controlled by that "leader". These guys looked and dressed in the same style as the Aztecs, and it was probably these guys that the officers at Outpost 113 saw and mistook them for Aztec warriors to resurrect.
After thoroughly figuring out what was going on with these goods, Li Huan felt that he had to destroy them, which was simply a violation of human ethics!
These mobile guys, when Li Huan is determined to eliminate, where is there a chance to fight back, a few "stitching monsters" rushed up with weapons from the cold weapon era, Li Huan swept and slashed, and cleaned up the "stitching monsters" in a few clicks. However, he fought and retreated, not because these guys were powerful, but because they made him disgusting - his body was a simple patchwork of human and animal internal organs, and he was driven by some kind of spell, even compared to the lowest level of black zombies, it was far from it. The most powerful thing is that it will turn into all kinds of pieces with a single slash, and the flesh and blood will fly. Fortunately, Li Huan hung a spiritual shield on himself, and all kinds of flying and rotten flesh and blood could not touch him, otherwise Li Huan really didn't want to fight with these guys who would be broken at the touch and whose flesh and blood were still contagious.
That's right, it's contagious, and it's virulent.
When Li Huan chopped the first monster that was stitched together, he had already discovered this problem. The "stitching monster" of fresh animal skin was stabbed in the head by Li Huan, and his head was slapped directly into the chest, and the bones were suddenly shattered inch by inch, and the flesh and blood flew at that time. Li Huan turned on the spiritual power shield and was splashed by these flesh and blood, but fortunately, the spiritual power shield was not penetrated by these flesh and blood, so the flying flesh and blood were all blocked out, but almost at the same moment, Li Huan also noticed the effect of these "stitching monsters".
They are indeed very weak, very weak, a well-trained soldier can kill a "stitching monster" one-on-one, these monsters are not afraid of pain, and their movements are very mechanical, Li Huan thought at the beginning that they were just sent up as targets.
That's right, they're really targets, and their role is that of targets.
As long as it hits, the flesh will fly, and the flying flesh will be contaminated with the creature, and it will be infected immediately. Within a few days, the infected will become a creature like them, then the next one, and so on. From this point of view, the role of the "stitching monsters" is perfect, and when they thought that if these "stitching monsters" appeared on the periphery of the rainforest, the agents of the law enforcement agencies rushed up, and suddenly the flesh and blood were all over the sky, and then a large number of infected people appeared, Li Huan shuddered.
It's a real-life version of The Walking Dead!
Li Huan originally thought that they had been killed, but before Li Huan could finish his disgust, the minced meat on the ground continued to squirm towards Li Huan......
"Phew! Only a blood-loving civilization like the Aztecs could have come up with such a disgusting tactic...... This is simply a plague monster!" Li Huan spat and jumped on Wangcai's back: "Let's go, no matter how you go down, the fight will be endless!"
After passing through a woodland that had been completely corrupted, with no leaves and tree trunks crawling with maggots, the pyramid that appeared out of thin air was in front of Li Huan's eyes. The pyramid that was discovered by the little flying machine in the distance, connected with countless soul threads, and emitted a sky-high death aura, when Li Huan really saw it, he was stunned.
No wonder it's one size smaller, no wonder it's so short, its material limits its heightβit's not a pyramid, it's a real skull tower! And those dead air and soul threads, like spider silk, rise densely from each skull, that's where the soul threads come from!
"Huangquan Guard......" Although Li Huan was not sure, he had a strong feeling when he saw this pyramid, so he let out a long sigh: "This is the truth of Huangquan Guard?"
The Pyramid of Human Bones, the pinnacle of the bloody Aztec civilization.
Between 2008 and 2012, during the construction of an extension of the Mexico City Metro, workers excavated human skulls dating back to the time of Mexico's Aztec Empire as part of a pyramid that made human bones. This type of shelf is generally used to display the skull of the sacrifice. In the course of this horrific excavation, 13,000 male skulls and 7,000 female skulls were found. These skulls have perforations in order to pass them through the crossbar and eventually arrange them into a conical display of gold characters.
Legend has it that the Aztec civilization preserved the skulls of these victims as long as they wanted to preserve their souls "as a symbol of perpetuity." In other words, the Aztecs believed that as long as the skulls of the victims were piled up into a pyramid, then these souls would remain in the tower forever and would not leave.
Is this the truth about the Yellow Springs Guardian?
Li Huan guessed correctly, this is the truth of the Huangquan Guard. In fact, the Huangquan Guardian said that it was witchcraft, but it was some kind of mechanism. The so-called Huangquan Guardians are tens of thousands of souls and half-souls who have been tortured to the point of almost collapse, and as long as they are touched, they will indiscriminately slaughter every life that sees every life, and are imprisoned in the pyramid.
These soul and half-soul beings are the Yellow Springs Guardians.
In the past, they had been imprisoned in the three pyramids, imprisoned and tortured, and once they appeared, there was no other possibility than to kill on a killing spree. And because of their special life forms, they can control the puppets by stretching out the soul thread. It's not enough to kill these puppets, after killing the puppets, the soul thread is broken, and the Huangquan Guardian will look for new puppets. So, without killing their bodies, these Huangquan puppets are endless.
That's right, it's the Huangquan puppet, which is quite aptly named.
imprisoned tens of thousands of souls here, let them become the Yellow Springs Guardians, and let the Yellow Springs Guardians control the surrounding lives on their own. So the pyramid is the Huangquan Guardian itself, the Huangquan Guardian is the pyramid, and the pyramid is the Huangquan Guard.
Before and after the contact, coupled with the description of the high priest, Li Huan quickly figured this out, but breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, it was not some unusually powerful "head" who distributed hundreds of thousands of soul threads, but the Aztec human bone pyramid, that is, these soul threads emitted by the witchcraft of the "Yellow Springs Guardian" itself, which cannot but be said to be good news. At first, everyone thought that there was an extremely powerful "leader" in the rainforest, and it alone controlled tens of thousands of soul threads, producing such a strong breath of death, if this kind of opponent really appeared, it might end up being the rhythm of nuclear bomb washing. Fortunately, Li Huan guessed correctly, these soul threads are not issued by a "head", according to the current situation, it should be the human bone pyramid that diverges on its own, to put it simply, it is a single soul one by one.
Without that extremely powerful opponent, it can't but be said to be good news.
If the threads of the soul and the breath of death come from witchcraft, then it would be OK to destroy everything in the pyramid of human bones. As for how to destroy it, this skeleton is only more than twenty meters high, before Li Huan and the others entered the jungle, all kinds of supplies and weapons were selected at random, and Li Huan's virtual space was once again filled with dangerous munitions at this time, and it was blown up.
couldn't blow it up, Li Huan tried again to see what the sun emblem on his hand was for.
