Chapter 44: The Secret of the Poppy Man
The poppy king is dead, and the elders are nowhere to be found. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Each poppy flower is the same bewitching, and it is impossible for a human child to recognize the elders from these poppy people, and their transformation into a human is almost the same appearance.
News of the source of the Dark Crystal was almost completely cut off.
The poppy king and the elder are immortal, and this secret is very related to the throughput time of the black crystals.
and Zipei vaguely remembered an accident he had experienced, as if he had almost squeezed a son of darkness into a dark king baby. The source of the dark crystal must be in this landscape. And these secret poppy kings and elders must know it.
It's not just Zipei who is looking for the Dark Crystal, but the surviving poppy people are also looking; There are pits everywhere in the place where they used to breed, they are looking for gold like they are searching, Zipei naturally knows that gold in this world is not important, they must be looking for dark crystal deposits.
Zipei had seen the Children of Darkness, but since the Children of Darkness had escaped the previous time, they had disappeared.
One day, Zipei saw a lot of poppy people racing towards a place, and Zipei thought that they must have found a mysterious place, and this place might be related to the Dark Crystal.
These days the poppy giants have carved out the land and have been very productive; After the death of the poppy prince and the poppy giant, the entire poppy kingdom was in a state of anarchy. They follow legends and rumors wielding shovels everywhere, and there are caves dug everywhere, but they still have nothing to gain.
A deep cave was discovered and quickly spread, where a large number of adventurous poppy people ventured.
I don't know how many poppy people were stuffed into that cave, but for a few days, I only saw flower people enter, and I never saw anyone come out.
Zi Pei and the four of them also came to the cave, but Zi Pei saw a big entrance, I don't know if the hundreds of years old cave entrance has been completely widened and the old traces have been completely eliminated, or this cave entrance is purely new, it is unknown.
At the entrance of the cave, poppy people can be seen walking in one after another, but for so long, I have never seen a poppy man come out, and they all seem to be rushing to the cave without hesitation.
Zipei and a few poppy men walked into the cave.
The entrance of the cave was very large, and Zipei felt a little puzzled, he had never seen a scaffold since the entrance of the cave, as if this hole was naturally generated, with the body of the earth as a support.
A cold wind blows, the cold wind is cooling, I don't know where it comes from, this cold wind does not come from the place, but from the stone wall.
They are extremely fast, their antennae and legs come out at the same time, the tentacles climb the cave wall, and the legs lead the light body, and in a flash, they are far ahead. They are not as fast as them, and they are afraid of stepping into the air.
Soon there was a fierce sound of swords ahead.
It's weird, how can there be people fighting here? Could it be that there are other humans in this cave?
Sure enough, there were people, when Zipei and the four walked in, and there was more than one person, at least they saw five people.
The side was covered with various poppy vines, rotting and smelling foul. The side was crowded with the red juice of the poppy people, perhaps the blood of the poppy people; The blood of the poppy people is difficult to coagulate in the cold air and is as thick as a red slurry.
A man was fighting against a few poppy people, not that the poppy man's vines were cut down by that man, but this man was also extremely difficult to move, his legs were bound by the poppy man's vines, and he couldn't move at all, but he was as comfortable as ever, and he never panicked; It seems that he is at ease.
"He's not human, he's a humanoid youkai." Shui Mei has already found out through the mist on the wall of this cave.
"Don't you smell a very different smell of blood?"
Zipei naturally didn't smell it.
"Although he is incarnated as a human, his scent cannot hide his true body, he is a snake spirit. Kahneman snake — snake spirit. ”
"There are a few other women next to it, all of them snake spirits."
This is the first pass in the cave, what exactly are they guarding, and they were discovered by the poppy people, so many poppy people have sneaked into the cave one after another.
"Kendi, why are you so slow, it's over quickly, it seems to be more troublesome later."
A woman's reproachful voice.
Kendi held his hands at this time, much faster, and with a circle, he cut down all the poppy vines around him, and the poppy people turned into a mist of petals and floated around, their blood flying in the air, like a blood-colored mist splashing all around and sinking into a pool of blood on the ground. Their blood is much denser than the pools of blood on the ground.
Zipei walked to their side with knee-deep blood in a pool of blood, and when they got closer, the strange fishy smell was particularly strong, and it seemed to be a little choking.
Luckily, it's a clean place after the pool of blood, but it's a little slippery.
Zipei's blood-colored buds lit up the entire cave and dazzled their eyes. If you stay in the dark for a long time, you don't dare to face this light, so you have to avoid it.
"Who are you here to harass our Qingxiu?"
Zipei ignored them, and when he saw that they had moved out of the way, he went straight in.
"Sister Qing, is this our home or theirs?" "Our home, of course." "But they ignored us as if they had entered their own home. What if they disturb our children? ”
"Kendi, Kenya, stop them."
A wide curtain of poisonous fog shrouded the front.
"The Kahneman snake is the most venomous snake known in the world, and even a little bit of its venom can kill people in an instant."
It seems that they are far away from the four of them, and they can't spray the venom directly to the four of them, but they spread a curtain of poisonous mist in the entrance road.
Zi Pei pointed at the blood-colored bud and spewed out a thick flame from the tip of the sword towards the poisonous mist.
"It's useless, their venom is fire-based. The more the flames of the blood-colored buds burned, the more poisonous the mist purified, and the more poisonous it became. ”
As the water girl said, the poisonous mist was not dispelled by the fire, but spread away like the fire saw gasoline, and the poisonous mist that was still green just now turned purple-brown.
"Not good! The poisonous mist has been burned into tiny particles by your fire, and they have become more toxic. ”
It's a tiny particle flying in mid-air.
They harnessed these particles and pounced on the four of them.
Zipei never thought that there was still venom in this world that was not afraid of flames?
"Just keep burning them, burn them into pieces."
Zipei knew that instead of dodging, it was better to let the flames form a protective wall.
The flames erupting from the blood-colored buds grew thicker and more intense; This fire is not an ordinary fire, and it is expected to have an unexpected harvest.
Soon the burning area became smaller and smaller, and the snake spirits felt that danger was coming, so they had to increase the spray of venom, and they surrounded Zipei and the four of them, and the poisonous mist also surrounded Zipei and them, and the poisonous mist was only a sword away from them.
At this time, a raging fire ignited in all directions in Zipei, and the flames were directly rushed towards the poisonous mist, as fierce as a tiger encountering a wolf pack.
The poisonous mist was invincible and tried to escape, but the flames had surrounded them, and they had nowhere to escape. These poisonous mist and poisonous particles floating on the flame are calcined in the flame.
By the time the flames burned out, the snake spirits had long since disappeared. They fled.
There were a few black and translucent particles lying on the ground, which were the poisonous particles of Zipei's blood-colored buds.
"You must not grasp these particles with your hands."
"You can't drive it with your strength." Zipei thinks that these particles are very deadly, and it is better to be careful.
It is safe to hold these dozen grains of poison in a small porcelain bottle.
When inside, it was very quiet, empty and empty, and it seemed that the poppy people had never crossed the first layer of defense.
Zipei felt eerie, and felt an inexplicable uneasiness from her heart.
"Help!" A low, hurried voice came.
Listening to the voice is Kanazawa, how did she fall behind the back of the line? There was no sound in an instant, Zi Pei followed the sound and chased after him, he saw that Jin Ze was wrapped in a huge tail, her head was drooping, and she must have fainted at this time.
The end of the tail swept from Zipei's waist, Zipei dodged with agility, and the tail swept the stone stalactite, and the table-sized stone stalactite was instantly smashed into pieces.
Zipei took advantage of the tail's retraction to lift the blood-colored bud and cut it down to the tail; Seeing that the sword was about to be stained with the tail, I saw that the tail flashed, the sword fell into the air, and only one thing was heard to land.
The long tail was gone, and Kanazawa was abandoned by the tail and fell to the ground. She was unconscious.
Jin Mei looked at Jin Ze, and Shui Mei and Zipei chased after the black shadow of the tail.
In the deep hole, I saw a huge black python with its head down, its head with five pairs of eyes, and a big long letter swallowing in the snake's mouth.
A swallow swept with a strong wind, and even the stalagmites were swept away by the letter.
When the black python saw that the blow missed, a pair of eyes glared at Zipei; The water girl waited for an opportunity next to Zipei. At this time, the black python was much more careful.
"Watch its eyes!" Zipei watched as its eyes were shaking, and from the deep eyeballs, he saw a beam of fire rushing out of his eyes.
There is also a small nuclear reactor hidden under the eyes of the black python, which, like the giant's, is a tiny nuclear reaction residue encapsulated by aluminum after the explosion of a nuclear bomb.
It's just that this nuclear reactor is much more advanced than the giant's, it is absorbed by the python and sinks into the fundus of the eye, and in combination with the optic nerve, the black python itself can control the nuclear reactor.
In the blink of an eye, a beam of fire burst out from the bottom of the black python's eyes, Zipei flashed, and the other eye rushed towards the water girl, who was also very agile, and turned into zero, only burning a small amount of water.
It's just that the wall of the cave was hit by the firelight, and a large hole was penetrated in the middle, and at the edge of the hole was a thick layer of glass inlaid with a faint light.
"If you are shot, I am afraid that the toad armor on your body will also be shot into a hole, and your body will be turned into ashes." Seeing the vitreous body on the cave wall, Zipei was scared into a sweat.
Taking advantage of the moment when the black python was kicking, Zi Pei cut the poisonous snake in two with a thousand steps, and he didn't dare to stop for a while, because he found a beam of fire chasing it.
"This fire is very strange, even if it is stained with the black python's own body, it is also an understatement, and it has no effect on the black python."
Naturally, this black python is not afraid of fire.
In the distance, Zipei was quietly watching his masterpiece, the black python was cut in half, it had to die?
But the strange thing is that there is not a trace of blood on the joints of the two halves of the viper's body. The knife edge is very even, but nothing spills out.
Zi Pei saw that the bodies of the two pythons were moving, but the eyes of the python were burning, and it blocked it with firelight to prevent it from getting close to Shui Mei.
The back half of his body swayed violently, and a moment later, a head emerged from the incision.
And the tail of another black python also grows.
A snake was cut in two by itself, and instead of dying, one became two. This snake is really rebellious, and it still makes people live?
"Looks like the chop has no effect on it."
The snake can regenerate all its organs in a single break, and in a very short time.
Obviously, the pressure on Zipei and Shuimei has doubled, at the beginning, a snake had five pairs of eyes, but in fact, only one pair of eyes posed a threat to Zipei and Shuimei, who were close together, and now the two snakes and four eyes pose a threat to Zipei and Shuimei.
There are also two large tails, which are also a threat to them.
Four large lanterns hung in the air, and they shot wildly, and the light of the fire pressed against their bodies, scorching their clothes, and soon Zipei was in rags.
The two black pythons deliberately touched Zipei's sword with their bodies, and their purpose was obviously to want Zipei to cut them in two so that their individuals could increase at twice the rate.
Zipei was helpless against their suicidal attacks.
Zi Pei and Shui Mei were trying their best to avoid the collision between their swords and the black python, and the sharpness of the swords was enough to cut the two giant pythons in two, and Zi Pei did not dare to take this risk.
The black python's intentions seem to be the exact opposite of Zipei's water sister, they attack only to show the flaws in their bodies, they are just trying to protect their heads from being cut off by the sword.
"Nest!" Zipei summed up this kind of fight in two words.
The two black pythons had countless flaws in their bodies, but Zipei and Shuimei did not dare to hit these flaws with their swords; As a last resort, they can only use the back of their thick knives to knock at the python's huge body.
