Chapter 927: Bordering on Despair
The oncoming rhinoceros herd was vigorous, the lizard group behind was densely packed, and Chen Taiyuan looked a little small standing in the middle.
He smiled and ran towards the rhinoceros. Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, Chen Taiyuan jumped high with a tiger and landed directly on the back of a big rhinoceros.
These rhinoceros couldn't notice Chen Taiyuan's position at all, so they rushed forward so stupidly. Chen Taiyuan was not in a hurry to leave, but rode on the neck of the rhinoceros and trampled on the lizard swarm opposite.
It's so cool to ride a bull and step on a lizard, and it's harder than driving a tank. Once a group confrontation of this level is launched, the lizard is definitely no match for the rhinoceros. As soon as they were trampled down, dozens of lizards died, and now there were no more than a hundred.
These guys were fighting chaotically, but Chen Taiyuan quietly ran back to the cave. Fortunately, both extremely tired women slept soundly. Chen Taiyuan arranged the sword dance and went over the mountain. It is enough to leave the sword dance, and in case of a big accident, you can also wake up Xingsha and the Great Elder. When Chen Taiyuan and Sword Dance didn't come, the two girls could support it, and now it is definitely safer to have an extra Sword Dance.
As for Chen Taiyuan's place, it is the land of abundant water and grass behind the second mountain.
It was the only place in the square space where there were plants and water sources, even though they were all contaminated with toxins. Where lizards live for a long time, and rhinos need to drink water, water is the source of life for both species.
Taking advantage of the lizard swarm and the rhinoceros herd, Chen Taiyuan was ready to go to the water source to toss around.
There should be plenty of time, after all, both mountains are low. And the battle between the rhinoceros and the lizards won't end for a while, because they still have to eat after the battle is over!
After this duel of trampling on each other, both sides gradually stopped. Twenty or thirty lizards died, and a few rhinos fell. The rhinoceros was originally a herbivorous behemoth and began to gnaw on the lizard carcasses on the ground, and the scene was quite disgusting. And the lizards also began to eat the dead rhinoceros, and the two races that devoured each other were also extinct.
During this time, Chen Taiyuan had climbed two hills in a row to the water meadow behind the second mountain. Xingsha and the Great Elder have been to the Second Mountain, so they have also introduced the relevant situation in general, but in fact, it is still a little different.
Because here, too, the grass seems to be starting to wither. It should be the events of the past two days, which shows that the changes in the abbot's space are getting worse and worse. Even if the heavens and the earth do not collapse, the lizard and the rhinoceros will die sooner or later. Although they can devour each other, the real source of energy is these grasses.
Cautiously stepping on the dry grass to enter, I found that the small lake was also smaller than the one introduced by the star yarn. It is more than 30 meters long and about 20 meters wide, and it is very shallow and turbid, which is simply a small puddle. It is estimated that it is related to the spatial collapse, and of course the rapid evaporation of the lake water due to the rising temperature is an important reason.
In short, this puddle is too small, maybe it will dry up completely in ten days, but Chen Taiyuan and the others are not in the mood to wait for these ten days.
……
After about an hour, both the rhino and the lizard had eaten and began to return. After eating a belly full of flesh and a mouth full of blood, can they not be thirsty, they must all be concentrated in the water source.
Chen Taiyuan sat on the top of the second mountain, waiting for both groups to return. A smug smile appeared in the moonlight, and he walked away.
After returning to the cave, Jian Wu was waiting for him, but Chen Taiyuan told her to rest quickly, leaving him alone to be on duty for the night.
"Okay, you?"
"Of course, I've killed all the beasts here, and I'm actually on duty at night just in case I slip through the net. ”
"Huh?" Jian Wu was stunned, "Just now these guys were eating on the flat ground across the mountain, don't you ......?"
"Clever!" Chen Taiyuan said with a smile, "I put a teacup of blood in the small lake where they are the source of the water - this is called real bloodletting, it hurts, haha!"
This guy is really willing to do it! I think that after spilling so much blood in the Yingzhou space, the water area dozens of times larger than this was poisoned by him into a dead domain. Although the blood toxicity has been reduced by half, the amount is large and the concentration is high!
However, his self-healing ability is also extremely amazing, and he healed almost after bloodletting, and there is no so far.
So Jian Wu also slept peacefully and had nothing to do all night. It wasn't until he woke up in the early hours of the morning to replace Chen Taiyuan, while the Great Elder and Xingsha were still asleep. A strong person of their level doesn't need much sleep at all, so you can see how tired they have become these days.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that even Chen Taiyuan was woken up by the heat. A stream of fire fell from the sky and burned seven meat and eight vegetables at the entrance of the cave. The temperature was only over 40 degrees, but the cave was burned to a high temperature of 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, and the ghost could sleep.
Xingsha yawned beautifully, and was a little embarrassed: "Wow, I slept so deeply? I don't even know how you fight at night, and I can't even hear the gunshots." ”
Jian Wu smiled: "Of course you can't hear it, I'm afraid it will affect your rest, so I didn't shoot all night." ”
"That's embarrassing for you, why did you drive away those disgusting big reptiles?"
"Take it away, it's a nest, it's all gone!" Jian Wu smiled and put away his backpack, filled it with water and food, and everyone rushed to the back of the mountain together, Xingsha was dumbfounded.
Along the way, they encountered several attacks by flowing fire, and Chen Taiyuan and their dodge were timely. It's just that as there are more and more fires, the area is getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature inside is getting higher and higher.
When they reached the top of the second mountain, the three girls were stunned - there were countless fierce beasts killed on the ground, and not a single one was left alive! Even some aquatic plants that were still verdant at the water's edge were now dry and withered, and if you look closely, they are still a little black.
"You poisonous person, you are so ruthless. Xingsha was so scared that she got goosebumps, "The kind of potion that Wu Xinying made for you is not good, don't make a mistake, it will kill people." ”
Why do you want to think so much...... In short, the Great Elder and Xingsha had been bothering the problem for many days, and the problem that could only be solved by a bloody battle today was easily solved by Chen Taiyuan by cutting his wrist once.
The four of them walked around the polluted water pool and began to search for the third mountain, which was the last area not to be searched. From the water to the foot of the mountain, and then from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there was not much to be found, and the core of the boat in the hand of the Great Elder did not move at all. It can only be said that the hope is getting smaller and smaller, and the four of them are also a little apprehensive in their hearts.
"Come on, there's a hole in there!" Rounding a corner, Xingsha became excited. Because the hole is not only large enough (two meters high and more than one meter wide), but also has obvious traces of man-made. All sides were neatly shaved out, and there was even a pair of stone lions at the door.
"I'll it, this lion is very good?!" Jian Wu rushed straight over, bending down to look at the pair of stone lions that were nearly half a man tall. Let such a guy be a mountain protection beast? It's not majestic, it should have been barbecued by a flowing fire.
The Great Elder frowned and asked, "You can wipe it with a cloth and see if it's made of green jade." ”
Jian Wu took out a bag of paper towels and wiped it, and the result really showed a blue color behind the charcoal gray! Good guy, two large pieces of green jade, all in one.
"Is this also exquisite?" Chen Taiyuan and they were all happy. Everyone's biggest concern was the unknown, and once they found out what the Great Elder knew, of course they were all very happy.
The Great Elder nodded, looked at the sky and surroundings again, and couldn't help but sigh, "Since the legend is true, what about ...... So how much has this square inch of space collapsed? ”
It turned out that according to the memory of an ancient power in her head, there was a huge "overseas immortal hall" in this "abbot fairyland", "the door of the hall is thirty zhang high, and there are giant spirits and immortals coming and going...... There is a pair of green jade giant lions at the door, ten feet high, and the appearance is fierce and ......"
It turns out that this stone lion is ten feet high!
Ten zhang is thirty meters, what a terrible behemoth? Of course, this material is also extravagant enough, thirty meters high, integrated green jade, what a waste.
As for saying that this pair of jade lions is "fierce", it must be, after all, it is thirty meters high, which is equivalent to more than a dozen floors. And it's carved from a complete green jade, how spectacular. But now that the physique has shrunk to this extent, the ferocious domineering spirit is gone.
"Now this lion is only about sixty centimeters tall, and it used to be as high as thirty meters, which means that it has collapsed fifty times!" Chen Taiyuan calculated the gap in astonishment, and looked at the stone temple gate again, "If it was at the beginning, this palace gate was nearly 100 meters high, no wonder it was said that there was a 'giant spirit immortal god' coming and going in it." ”
If all of them were reduced by fifty times, then the original abbot space would have to be a range of 100 kilometers in diameter and vertical, which is not too big or small to be equivalent to the area of a city.
The Great Elder sighed: "Fortunately, this place has not shrunk or worse, but fortunately, the entrance of the cave is the size of a normal door, so we will not be affected when we go in." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in, and found that the inside of the cave was very spacious—even if it was reduced by more than fifty times, it could still be called "spacious". Inside is a huge hall, four or five meters wide and more than twenty meters long, about the size of an ordinary family. But if you consider that it was magnified fifty times in the first place, you can see how majestic it really was back then.
There are also two side chambers on each side, and directly opposite this is a high platform, like the location of the Imperial Dragon Chair, but it is empty.
Everyone was about to walk over to take a look, when suddenly the Great Elder's footsteps stopped. Chen Taiyuan looked sideways, and saw that the core in her hand trembled slightly, as if a muted mobile phone had received a call.
All four of them were excited—it was the fourth core, and it resonated with this core!
Sure enough, it's here!
Of course, it is not difficult to locate accurately, and if you go back and forth a few places to accurately measure, you can naturally determine the general position. But when it was measured, Chen Taiyuan and the others were all dumbfounded, almost desperate.
According to calculations, this fourth boat core was buried in the ground, at a depth of at least fifteen meters. And here, it's all hard stone!
"Dig fifteen meters, we don't even have a shovel, can we dig with a sword?"
Chen Taiyuan scratched his head: "I knew that I would bring some mountain openers* here." ”
"Nonsense, you forgot to move Lanxiang Technical School here, what's the use of saying this. The Great Elder was so angry that he stomped on the ground. It was clear that victory was infinitely close, but at the last moment it was found that there was nothing to be done.
