Chapter 65: Dead and Alive
When the victors went back to cheer and celebrate, the corpses of the losers could only lie on the cold mud floor, allowing the blood to flow on the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It didn't take long for some fine bloodthirsty vines to extend along with the smell of blood in the air.
But after all, they have no senses, only tend to instinct, and sense that the dirt around the corpse is full of blood, but they don't know that the source of this blood is in the heart of the corpse.
So, dense vines lay around the corpse, on the blood-soaked soil, absorbing the blood nutrients in the soil in a way unique to plants.
This situation had been going on for a while, and just as the blood was gradually congealing, a delicate sprout suddenly emerged from the soil beside the corpse.
It grew rapidly and grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when it grew to the same height as the corpse, the top trembled slightly and swayed from side to side, as if to explore whether there was any danger around, and then it touched the corpse on the side, and as if it had found a treasure, it quickly grew and climbed up along the bare, bloodless pale skin.
The sprouts searched left and right on the surface of the corpse, and soon, it found a bloody hole in its heart, and drilled into it, and then, even the seeds buried in the soil were dragged by the sprouts into the corpse.
When the seed burrowed into the hole in the heart, it was only quiet for a moment, and then I saw a large number of living creatures of different thicknesses on the chest of the corpse, which seemed to be green tendons, and began to spread out in all directions under the skin surface.
They quickly wrapped the corpse's head, shoulders, and left arm, only in the empty gap in the right arm, a few vines could be seen coming out, as if they had visited it, and after not feeling the flesh, they retracted, and soon formed a thin net in the gap, enclosing the gap.
Only then did I know that what was spreading under the epidermis of the corpse was not green tendons or blood vessels, but the thin vines that had taken root and sprouted in it!
These tiny vines quickly spread to the entire corpse, dense, like cobwebs, denser than blood vessels.
When finally even the soles of the corpse's feet were covered, the dead corpse suddenly convulsed, and then, as if it had been electrocuted, the corpse began to jump on the ground like a fish thrown onto the riverbank.
After struggling for a long time, the corpse's eyes suddenly opened, but the eyes that were originally pupils and whites of the eyes were only a chaotic dark green at the moment. It blinked, tried to move its remaining left hand, and then braced itself to its feet.
Fortunately, the reason why this place was originally chosen as the battle ground for Rob and Luo Teng was because it was far enough away from the populated place, so few people usually came here, otherwise someone saw a corpse that had obviously been stabbed in the heart, the blood had almost been drained, and the corpse that had been dead for a long time suddenly came back to life, and I don't know if it would be scared to death.
After Luo Teng's corpse stood up, its body stood in place, swaying, feeling soft and unsteady. It is like a newborn toddler who has just been born, and has not yet become familiar with its own body, so it hesitates to take a step, but as soon as one foot is raised, the other foot immediately loses its balance, falls flat on the ground, and lies directly on the ground.
But it did not give up, and struggled to stand up again, and it took a while for it to learn to walk on human feet, although it was very slow, and it did not alternately lift its feet, but it kept moving forward with its right foot and its left foot behind it, and after repeating this action, it was able to move little by little, in the direction of the forest.
The new flesh is a completely new way of control for it, and it can't straighten its waist, so its upper body is either bent forward or backwards, but fortunately it doesn't use its eyes to observe its surroundings, otherwise it would not be uncommon for it to hit the wall directly.
In this way, it is like a person with some kind of osteopathy, bending over and walking towards the forest, occasionally encountering stones or small potholes on the land, and tripping directly, but it still insists on getting up and moving on.
Gradually, it went farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the bushes of the ruined forest, and disappeared.
And such a strange scene, no one knows.
…………
In a dilapidated two-story villa with no doors and windows, Tao Xian and Hua Niang Wujing were staying in a room on the second floor.
Hua Niang was sweeping the garbage on the floor and piling them up in a corner of the room, presumably using this place as a temporary place to live, while the Five Classics muttered that she didn't know what she was talking about, looking up at the wall from time to time, knocking on it, as if she was looking for something, and Tao Xian was standing in front of the window with only aluminum alloy left, looking outside, not knowing what she was looking at, or what she was thinking.
Just as the three of them were doing their own things, there was no door frame, and outside the bare red brick door, a vine only the thickness of iron wire quietly extended along the corner to the inside.
Among the many vines on the floor of the room, the movement of this vine was inconspicuous, and even the flower girl who was cleaning the floor did not notice that it was quietly infiltrating.
It walked along the corner of the ground wall, bypassed Hua Niang, passed under the foot of the Five Classics, and was about to crawl along the wall to the window where Tao Xian was standing, but only to hear Tao Xian, who had been standing in front of the window, say: "Since you are here, then show up!"
Hearing this, Wujing and Hua Niang reacted at this time, someone was nearby, and hurriedly made a fighting gesture, but soon, they heard a coquettish laugh from outside the door, and then a woman wearing a cheongsam and stepping on high heels appeared at the door.
Seeing the visitor, Wujing and Hua Niang were relieved and relaxed.
"Tao Xian, you have become powerful!" Qinglan walked into the room, glanced at the Five Classics and Hua Niang, and said with a smile: "Five Classics, Hua Niang, long time no see!" Hearing this tone and the feeling of calling out the name when they met, it was obvious that several people had already known each other, and even very familiar.
Wujing looked Qinglan up and down, as if he was a little surprised by the changes in the other party, his mouth opened and opened, but he couldn't say a word, and finally he could only close his mouth and scratch his head a little depressedly.
On the contrary, it was Hua Niang, who looked at Qinglan in surprise and said, "I wish ......"
Before he could say a word, he was interrupted by Qinglan's interjection: "My name is Qinglan here!"
Perhaps it was Qinglan's words that reminded her, and the look of surprise on Hua Niang's face faded away, revealing a complicated look: "...... Qinglan ......" then looked Qinglan up and down, and asked in a complicated tone: "You have been wearing such clothes in the past few years?"
"Hmm. Qinglan nodded, lowered her head and looked at the goose-yellow cheongsam embroidered with cyan orchids on her body, and then asked, "Is there anything that can't be done?"
Hearing this, Hua Niang sighed and said, "You have changed. ”
The smile on Qinglan's face was slightly restricted, and her tone seemed to comfort the other party: "The world is changing all the time, and people will naturally change with it." ”
Wujing looked at Hua Niang, and then at Qinglan, and honestly didn't intervene, and hid to the side.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little bleak, Tao Xian hurriedly came out to play a round: "Everyone has been reunited after a long absence, although there is no good wine and food, but it is okay to sit down and talk slowly." ”
The corners of Qinglan's mouth curled slightly, and said: "This may not be as you wish, these nine ruins seem to be safe, but who knows if there will be any secret agents or anything like that around here, in case someone finds out, it will be difficult to do." If there's anything, let's talk about it quickly!"
What Tao Xian said just now was to stir up the atmosphere, of course, he also knew that it couldn't be as he said, so he sat down and talked slowly, and the three of them secretly rushed to Jiuxu to meet with the person who was second to none in the Red Moon Army's wandering group and the most promising person to become the chief of staff of the legion, not to catch up with the past.
The room was empty, and the original wooden furniture and the like had long been broken wood by the erosion of time, and several people could only stand in the room and talk about things.
After what he said just now, Tao Xian didn't have time to care whether the current atmosphere was hot or cold, and said directly: "Old Mu, I hope you can go back." ”
"Oh?" Qinglan's eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of a woman's charm in the flow of her eyes, which made the flower girl who had been paying attention to Qinglan on the side couldn't help but sigh again in her heart, and couldn't help but think: Hongyan is really a disaster!
"What about this side?"
"You look for a chance and make it clear. ”
Hearing this, Qinglan didn't reply immediately, but lowered her head to think, Tao Xian didn't urge her, he believed that although this order came a little hastily, but as a person who almost became the 'wise man' of the legion, it was impossible not to expect such a thing, perhaps, she already had a planned idea.
"Now...... Not yet. Qinglan frowned slightly and said, "It's not the time yet, we have to wait." ”
"Okay!" Tao Xian nodded very dryly: "Then we will stay in Jiuxu for a while, but not for too long." ”
"Half a month!" Qinglan thought for a while and gave a time limit: "After half a month, whether it is successful or not, I will inform you." ”
"Then during this time, can we still meet?" said Hua Niang suddenly.
Qinglan glanced at Hua Niang, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Of course you can!"
