Chapter 391: Mirage
"Ahh
"Where are the snakes?" Yang Shanshan and the others also walked over, and sure enough, they saw a small green snake swimming on the bank of the river, just leaning against the tent.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!" Hu Tianyi said, and he had already felt a dagger in his hand, ready to throw it out to stab the snake.
"Snake snake, snake snake, how can there be a snake snake!"
At this moment, Xiaoxue ran out upside down, saw that the little green snake's eyes lit up, and grabbed the little green snake with one hand, and pinched it in his hand curiously to play with it.
"Whew!" The little green snake suddenly felt like a big enemy, spit apricots at Xiaoxue, and actually opened his teeth and bit Xiaoxue.
"Oh, you dare to bite Xiaoxue! Xiaoxue beats you!" Xiaoxue puffed out her mouth and directly tied the little green snake into a knot, and twisted it in her hand.
The little green snake stuck out its tongue and burped in two clicks.
"Uh, this ......" Yang Shanshan's face was full of black lines, where did this girl come from, is it too?
That's Zhu Yeqing, she can't be mistaken, although the size is not big, but it is also a highly poisonous snake!
"Little girl, are you alright, show me your hands. Yang Shanshan walked over and took Xiaoxue's hand and looked at it.
There were two red marks on it, as if it had been poisoned.
"Xiaoxue is fine, this little thing still wants to bite me, Xiaoxue wants to eat you, eat you!" Xiaoxue said angrily.
"Is it really okay?" Yang Shanshan said with some suspicion.
You must know that although it is not much fatal to be bitten by Zhu Yeqing, it is a blood toxin, which will follow the blood circulation, and the wound will be extremely painful, and it will swell and even rot in a short time.
But Xiaoxue didn't feel any pain at all, isn't this snake poisonous?
"It's okay, a snake can't bite her. Xia Jiu walked over with a smile on his face.
Xiao Xue happily handed over the little green snake, "Daddy, I want to eat the snake snake!"
"Okay, eat snake snake. Xia Jiu took the snake and looked at it, this meat is a bit small.
"What are you laughing at, your daughter was bitten by a snake and you're still laughing. Yang Shanshan glanced at Xia Jiu.
Xia Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't you find a problem? ”
"What's wrong with a snake? Isn't it good to have a snake?"
"It's so scary, there are snakes, we want to go back to the cave!" Wang Sisi said in fear.
"Hehe, you guys are so stupid, since you entered Death Valley, have there been any living animals and plants? What does this snake mean? It means that this river has actually come out or reached the edge of Death Valley. So that's a good thing!"
As soon as Xia Jiu said this, everyone suddenly realized.
"So, we're safe?" Hu Tianyi said strangely: "Xia Jiu, you wouldn't have known about it a long time ago, did you?"
Xia Jiu didn't reply to this question, but looked at the direction of the hillside and sneered: "It won't be too peaceful tonight!"
If nothing else, the people in the cave are in danger.
But what's the matter?
He had already reminded, and more than once, that these people did not believe that they had any way, and that the path was chosen by themselves.
It was impossible for Xia Jiu to forcibly let those people come to the river.
After observing this day, he finally figured out what this Death Valley was.
As expected, this is supposed to be a cemetery, and this is not a man's graveyard, but the burial place of an ancient mirage!
The mirage is a special type of dragon that is not the son of a dragon.
The creation of mirages is difficult. He is a snake and a pheasant mating in the first month, giving birth to a very small egg, this egg will attract clouds and thunder in the sky, the lightning strikes the egg and pushes it into the soil, in a few tens of meters it will become a coiled snake, in two or three hundred years, the soil around the egg turns into stone, begins to rise to the sky, find the moonlight after the rock falls, there will be a mirage to appear.
Therefore, the mirage is extremely rare, it has an incredible ability, that is, it can see all kinds of illusions from the breath exhaled from its mouth, and it is the top master of creating illusions in ancient times.
It is said that the mirage's illusion can be a world of its own, and it is very powerful in terms of spatial attainments.
Although tens of thousands of years may have passed, there are still all kinds of incredible existence in the place where the mirage is buried.
So from the moment you step into here, strange things happen.
The praying mantis people are real, but they are actually fake.
Liu Lao killed the mantis people on the cliff, but only the first one was real, and the back were all phantoms.
The corpse that Zhang Gong turned over is also fake, or the current Zhang Gong is fake.
This kind of illusion has reached the point of moving from illusion to reality, from idealism to materialism.
Therefore, the exorcism had no effect, and even Xia Jiu couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
If it is really a mirage, it is really powerful, tens of thousands of years and hundreds of thousands of people have passed, and there is still this kind of power.
How many secrets does this Kunlun have? This is the periphery of Kunlun, there is a mirage, what is inside?
Xia Jiu took out the ingredients, brought a lot of food in his ring, lit a bonfire and put a lot of mushrooms and vegetables, and boiled the snake soup.
Soon the camp was filled with a burst of aroma.
"It's so fragrant!" Yang Shanshan sniffed.
"Drink snake soup tonight!" Xia Jiu smiled, took out the dishes and chopsticks, and filled everyone with a bowl of soup to drink.
However, the two girls didn't dare to eat snakes, so they had to cook instant noodles and eat them.
After eating, Hu Tianyi sprinkled snake repellent powder around the camp, so he didn't have to worry about snakes and insects coming in.
A group of people went to bed early, while Xia Jiu and Denise sat by the campfire.
A few hours later, a scream broke the silence of the night.
The direction of the screaming was the small hill where Liu Lao and they were camping.
"Something happened!" Li Xiucai hurriedly ran out of the tent while putting on his shoes.
Hu Tian and Zhang Heng also came out, and looked at the direction of the hillside in panic one by one.
Xia Jiu also stood up.
It's finally here!
"What should we do, shall we go and see?" Zhang Heng asked worriedly.
"Do not leave the river. Once inside, you may not be able to find your way. ”
Xia Jiu's brows furrowed, and his eyes looked deadly ahead.
Although he heard the voice, his divine thoughts couldn't sweep it in.
It was as if there was a layer of mist inside that blocked his thoughts.
"Then what should I do? Our classmates are still inside, what can we do!" Wang Sisi and they were also very anxious.
In fact, Xia Jiu was also a little hesitant, whether to go in or not, in fact, according to what he thought, it had nothing to do with him whether these people lived or died, he just had to protect the people around him.
But if you don't go in, judging from the breath inside, by tomorrow morning, there should be a group of dead people inside.
Among these people, only Liu Lao may be able to come out alive.
"I'll go in and have a look. Xia Jiu finally made a decision.
Although he is not familiar with the people inside, this student is also funded by the Wuji Group.
Maybe I will have to work for Wuji Group in the future.
"Stay in the camp and don't go out. ”
Xia Jiu said and walked towards the dead wood forest.
"Xia, I'll accompany you. Denise followed with her sword and shield.
As soon as the two of them entered the dead wood forest, they were a little stunned.
Because the surrounding scenery is completely different from the daytime.
Here, it is actually a dense jungle, surrounded by bushes and towering trees.
It's all dead wood!
Denise said with a wary face: "Natsu, I don't feel right, these trees don't seem to be angry. ”
"It's an illusion!" Xia Jiu said coldly, "It should be the mirage of the dragon, you follow me." ”
Xia Jiu has a super strong memory, and he remembers the surrounding terrain very clearly during the day.
There was a broken rock in front of him, but he remembered that it was flat.
With one foot down, his whole body instantly took off into the air, and then fell to the ground hard.
"Natsu, are you alright?" Denise startled.
Xia Jiu got up and looked around tightly.
"It's not a hallucination, it's a figuration. This pain is real!"
Xia Jiu didn't want to waste time, so he flew out directly with Denise in his arms.
Fortunately, the location of the hillside has not changed much, and there is still a fire there.
"Xia Jiu, come here!"
Next to the hillside, Professor Li and the others saw Xia Jiu and hurriedly beckoned.
They looked very flustered.
"What's going on?" Xia Jiu frowned.
"There are mantis people, many, many mantis people, and they attack us!" Professor Li said tremblingly.
He was followed by several students, all shivering, and several of them were still wounded.
Zhen Yu also squatted aside, his teeth chattering, and he didn't say a word.
"What about Old Liu?" Xia Jiu looked at the entrance of the cave.
"Old Liu, they are still in the cave, why don't you go and take a look?" Professor Li said with a strange face.
Xia Jiu nodded and walked towards the front.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a creep in his whole back.
Professor Li grinned widely, a strange smile on his face, and the long scythes in both hands slashed fiercely into Xia Jiu's waist.
The sharp double knives directly tore Xia Jiu's clothes and cut into his body.
However, with a "ding", Professor Li's double knives stopped, as if they were stuck by something.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Xia Jiu turned his head and looked at Professor Li with satisfaction and confusion.
Because he couldn't see whether it was a hallucination or a mantis man.
"Whether you are true or not, kill me!" Xia Jiu's eyes lit up, and he hit Professor Li with a punch.
Professor Li was blown up in an instant, and at this time, Zhen Yu and those students had already turned into praying mantises, and they all roared and rushed towards Xia Jiu.
Denise shot an arrow, directly pinning Zhen Yu to the ground, and then swung the long sword, instantly cutting through the two mantis people.
And Xia Jiu also moved, and the Undefeated Emperor's Fist shot out a burst of golden light, and all the mantis people were all smashed.
After a few seconds, the mantis people gradually dissipated into a colorful mist.
Sure enough, it was an illusion.
It's certain that this is mirage.
Xia Jiu and Denise didn't stop and went directly up the hill and rushed into the cave.
Before they could enter the cave, they heard the sound of fighting inside.
There were several corpses at the entrance to the cave, most of them students.
"Bang!" A figure flew out of the cave, his body was rotten, Xia Jiu looked at it, isn't this Professor Yang?
Professor Yang has also changed?
"Is it all settled?" said Liu Lao angrily.
Xia Jiu walked in and saw that there were actually seven or eight mantis corpses in the cave, and no one could tell whether it was true or false.
But the fighting was fierce, and many people were injured.
"Are you Xia Jiu!?" Professor Li immediately exclaimed when he saw Xia Jiu.
Everyone looked at Xia Jiu in shock, and Liu Lao even took out a spirit talisman and said coldly: "If you want to lie to me, go die!"
He shouted and recited a spell, and more than a dozen stones actually floated on the ground, and the stones passed through the spirit rune, and suddenly appeared blue light, shooting towards Xia Jiu like a laser.
