Chapter 52, Statue Monster

"We have to get out of here quickly, run!" After Brother Jiang finished speaking, he pulled up again and ran wildly. After the two of them continued to run for a few minutes, they bumped into Ergen and Sangen from the same village, and the four of them almost collided together.

You, you ... Hurry up and run! Behind, there is... Brother Jiang said breathlessly, and then he pulled two roots, and three of them pulled strongly, and the four of them continued to run wildly in the forest. When they reached a relatively empty place, the four of them sat down to catch their breath.

I said, I said you two are seeing ghosts, or what? As soon as we met, they dragged us away. Nigen said

"yes, what's the matter, there's a tiger in the back?" Sangen also asked

Brother Jiang looked around and said, "That monster shouldn't be chasing after you!"

Nigen looked around and said, "What kind of monster? Where is this monster in the woods?

It turned out that Ergen and Sangen were two brothers, and they had been playing with Brother Jiang and Zhuang in the same village since they were children.

I said that you two are really not interesting! I still heard what the village chief said, and you two went to the mountains to pick lingzhi yesterday, and you didn't tell us! Today, we looked for you in the village and didn't find you, so you two didn't return overnight, right? Then we searched for you in the forest for a long time and didn't see your shadows, and finally we brothers combined, you must have run here and don't go back to the forest! I didn't expect that you two were really caught here!" Ergen pointed to Brother Jiang and Zhuang Qiang

"That's it! You really know how to eat alone! You don't even call my brothers when you go to pick Lingzhi! Where are you hiding the Lingzhi? Honestly, hand it over and divide it with us!" said Sangen, unconvinced

In order to find you two, we have risked our lives to enter this Behui Forest! I heard the village chief say that no one who entered the Behui Forest before was able to come back alive!" Ergen echoed

Zhuang Qiang also hurriedly returned, "All the Ganoderma lucidum we picked was thrown away, and none of them were left, after all, it is important to escape!"

Brother Jiang also explained: "We don't eat alone, the older generation has said, don't go back to the forest is very dangerous, you can't enter! We don't bring you two here, aren't we afraid that you two will encounter danger? Also, two, two, you, look behind you... Brother Jiang pointed behind Ergen, and his voice began to tremble!

Ergen waved his hand: "Jiang Zi, you don't want to come to this set! Don't think about diverting the topic! What about your Ganoderma lucidum?"

But even Zheng Qiang, who was sitting next to Brother Jiang, widened his eyes, pointed behind Ergen and said in a panic, "Ergen, look back, this, what is this?。。。 ”

Ergen and Sangen turned around at the same time, only to see a strange humanoid creature next to a big tree more than twenty meters behind them! It was standing on the ground, all blue-gray, wearing only a pair of blue-gray tight-fitting rag shorts. And it stood motionless, standing straight, like a statue! And the strangest thing about this statue was that it had four arms, and the four arms were spread out in large characters. And the head of this statue is also a little different from the head of a human being, the statue is bareheaded, with a large mouth with fangs open, and it also has an egg-sized bead in its mouth, which is ruddy and translucent, like a precious jade.

"Brother Jiang, has this statue been here all along? Why didn't you see it just now? Or didn't we notice?" Ergen hurriedly asked

Let's go and have a look. After Brother Jiang finished speaking, he walked in the front, and the other three followed him.

Less than ten meters away from this statue, the four of them suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, like a special aromatic smell mixed with various floral fragrances, this fragrance smelled refreshing, and they couldn't help but want to squint their eyes and sleep for a while...

Zhuang Qiang said, "Brother Jiang, you see, this statue still has a round bead in its mouth, it seems to be a treasure!

As soon as he heard the word baby, Ergen instantly came to his senses! He quickly ran to the front of the statue and ran towards the statue quickly! He also shouted, "I saw this treasure first! Don't rob me of it!"

When Ergen ran to the statue, he approached the statue's head, and was about to take the orb from the statue's mouth, but he felt that his brain was getting more and more dizzy, and his limbs were weak. At this moment, the four hands of the statue suddenly hugged the two roots in front of him! The two roots could not break free! The two roots were suddenly hugged by the statue, and they woke up in an instant! He screamed and struggled, but he was powerless to return to the sky!

The statue quickly swallowed the orb in its mouth into its belly, and then opened its big mouth, revealing a long purple tongue! This tongue is in the shape of a tube, it should be hollow, and the tip of this tongue actually has a circle of sharp fangs! The tongue that the statue spits out is like an agile poisonous snake, and quickly burrows into the chest cavity of the two ones! It seems that this tongue in the statue's mouth is not so powerful that it can penetrate a person's body in an instant!

Immediately after, the tongue of the statue seemed to spit out a stream of liquid in Ergen's body! Ergen groaned in pain a few times, accompanied by a convulsion of his body, and after a few seconds, he stopped shaking! In less than twenty seconds, the abdomen of the two corpses began to swell! It seemed to be filled with liquid, just like a pregnant woman who was pregnant for ten months! And at this moment, the tongue of the statue began to suck back! A large stream of liquid in the two bodies was sucked back by the statue! The two swollen stomachs slowly deflated again! Finally, the statue let go of the fluttering two and spit out its long tongue, as if it was very satisfied!

It turned out that this statue was actually a living monster! I called it a statue monster first, but I didn't expect this statue monster to disguise itself as a motionless statue and spit out the fragrant orb in its mouth to attract prey! Presumably, the two dead bears and the deer were attracted by the fragrance of the orb in the statue monster's mouth before they were alive, and then they were killed by the statue monster!

The three people standing on the side were frightened by the sudden scene, and their souls were scattered, where could they still care about saving people! Brother Jiang shouted, "Run! Everyone hurry up!" Brother Jiang grabbed Zhengqiang with one hand and Sanji with the other, and pulled the two frightened people to run behind him! Not long after running, Sangen shook off Brother Jiang's hand, "No! I have to go back to save my brother!" Sangen, who came to his senses, ignored the dissuasion of Brother Jiang and Zhuangqiang, and ran straight towards the statue monster.

"Sangen, hurry back! Your brother is dead!" No matter how Brother Jiang called Sangen, Sangen still didn't stop. Seeing that Sangen was determined to save his brother, Brother Jiang had no choice but to run away with Zhuangqiang.

Brother Jiang and Zhuang Qiang didn't do anything this morning, they ran most of the time, and they didn't eat all day. After running for more than ten minutes, they had no strength at all, so they quickly sat down to rest while the statue monster had not yet come after them. Brother Jiang found a big tree, sat down with his back against him, and was still recalling the terrible scene just now... Suddenly, in the distance, there was something in the tree that was beating rapidly! This blue-gray thing jumped from one tree to another, and was chasing in their direction, it was the statue monster just now! No wonder this statue monster suddenly appeared behind them when the two and three roots were still there just now, it turned out that this thing can not only disguise, but also climb trees!

This thing really can't get rid of it! Why is it chasing it again! Qiangzi! Hurry up and keep running!" Brother Jiang doesn't know if this statue monster is the one just now, or if this statue monster is not only the same one in the forest!

The two of them had just rested for less than two minutes, and they had to get up and run again! A moment later, a stout and tall tree appeared in front of them, with a diameter of more than a meter and a thickness! At the bottom of the tree, there was a big hole in the ground! It could accommodate one person to get into.

Zheng Qiang looked up behind him and saw that the statue monster was getting closer and closer to the two of them! He was also frightened at that time, and he actually got into the hole of the big tree in front of him! After he got in, he found that his feet were empty, and the whole person began to fall! Fortunately, the bottom was only four or five meters deep, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, so Zheng Qiang was not injured, but he was in pain all over his body, and he couldn't get up for a while.

Seeing this, Qiang ran into the tree hole, and Brother Jiang also hurriedly ran into the tree hole, wanting to drag Zhuangqiang out. But he didn't expect that the hole in the tree was empty, and he also stepped on the air and fell, falling on Zhuangqiang's body, crushing Zhuangqiang half to death.

"Is it you?" Brother Jiang touched Zhuangqiang under him in the dim light

"It's me, it's me, get up, it's crushing me!" said Qiang, bitterly

"We're underground, right? Escape, when the statue monster above chases in, we'll all have to finish the fun!" Brother Jiang dragged up and moved forward in the dark underground space. This underground space seems to be a tunnel, about two meters wide, and this tunnel gradually extends downward, leading to the depths of the earth.

Brother Jiang touched the wall made of bricks on both sides, and he whispered to the shape behind him, "Qiangzi! This seems to be a tunnel, I don't know how far it is ahead, so the statue monster hasn't come down, right?"

He glanced behind him and said, "No, let's hurry forward!

After walking forward in the dark for about ten minutes, Brother Jiang touched a stone gate in front of him. The stone door opened a gap, just enough for a person to squeeze in sideways. Brother Jiang said to the strong behind him, "Qiangzi, there is a stone gate in front, there is a gap in the stone gate, maybe someone has been here before, let's go in and have a look, maybe we can find a way out!"

After a moment of silence, there was no strong response from behind Brother Jiang, and he was shocked in his heart! And at the same time, he also felt a suffocating sense of oppression behind him slowly and gently approaching him! Brother Jiang had only one idea at that time, that is, to immediately get into the stone gate in front of him! When Brother Jiang quickly drilled into the stone gate and came to the space behind the stone gate, his clothes inside were already soaked with cold sweat!

The space behind the stone gate was slightly brighter than in the tunnel, but Brother Jiang didn't care. He picked up a brick at his feet and hid on the side of the stone gate, wanting to give it a brick when the statue monster entered the stone gate, so as to avenge the lost partner! He didn't want to run anymore at the moment, the two roots and three roots and the shape were killed one after another, and he himself was afraid that he would not have the face to live again! If he hadn't proposed to enter the forest, these three partners would not have died at all...

Brother Jiang behind the stone gate waited for dozens of minutes, and his right hand holding the brick was numb, and he didn't see this statue monster come in, as if there was something he was particularly afraid of behind the stone gate. Since the statue didn't come in, Brother Jiang ignored it for the time being, and he began to observe the huge space behind the stone gate.

I saw that more than ten meters in front of me, a pillar of light with a diameter of about half a meter shot straight down, making the space here brighter than in the passage. Brother Jiang carefully approached this pillar of light, and then looked up along the pillar of light, it turned out that there was a hole at the top of the top more than ten meters above the ground, so the sunlight could shine in. Brother Jiang looked at the edge of the cave again, and it turned out that the top of this space was a flat ceiling, which did not seem to be naturally formed. And more than ten meters in front of the pillar of light, there is a wall, and a strange giant is painted on the wall in front of it. The giant is strong, more than eight meters tall, and has a blue body. Then, Brother Jiang slowly touched the wall on the left to observe, and as soon as he got closer, he was instantly frightened and screamed! It turned out that there was a row of statue monsters standing neatly under the wall on the left side, and there were about twenty of them! Brother Jiang hurriedly retreated to the right wall, and as soon as he turned around, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again! It turned out that the right wall, like the left wall, also stood a row of statue monsters! But these statue monsters were motionless and did not attack Brother Jiang. Only then did Brother Jiang realize that the place he was in was a square underground palace, with a length and width of about 30 meters and a height of about 15 meters. The environment of the dungeon is also cold and damp, the corner of the dungeon is also full of wild mushrooms, and at the root of the wall on the left, there is a spring the size of a broad bean.

The statue monsters on both sides of the dungeon seem to be overwhelmed by the portraits on the wall in front of them! all of them stand motionless, but it's possible that these statue monsters are dead. Brother Jiang saw that these statue monsters did not move, so he had the courage to go up and check, he calculated, there were twenty statue monsters under the left wall, and there were only eighteen under the right wall! It seems that the two missing statue monsters should be the statue monsters that he saw on the ground just now. Brother Jiang didn't dare to walk out of this underground palace for a while, he was afraid that the two living statues were waiting for him outside the gate of the underground palace! And the hole above his head in the middle of the underground palace was about ten meters high from the ground, and he couldn't go up, and there was no rope around. He searched carefully several times in the dungeon, but there was nothing else in the dungeon except for the statue monsters on both sides of the wall, some broken bricks, and wild mushrooms growing in the corners of the wall.

In order to survive, Brother Jiang didn't care whether the wild mushrooms in the corner were poisonous or not, so he picked the mushrooms to satisfy his hunger. He was so hungry that he had to replenish his energy, and even if these mushrooms were poisonous, it would be better to be poisoned than to be killed by the statue monsters!

Five days later, all the mushrooms in the dungeon were eaten by Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang really had nothing to eat, in order not to starve to death, he planned to venture out of the door of the dungeon, maybe the statue monster guarding the door of the dungeon had already left.

As Brother Jiang expected, the statue monster guarding outside the dungeon had already left, and Brother Jiang returned to the root of the tree he had fallen from through the tunnel. He climbed the old tree roots and climbed the hollow of the tree with great difficulty. After emerging from the hole in the tree, he ran lifelessly, trying to get out of the forest before dark.

Fortunately, he was lucky, he stumbled and ran in the forest for most of the day, and finally ran out of the forest, but fortunately he didn't meet the statue monster along the way. After leaving the forest, it was dark, and a fire appeared not far away. It turned out that Brother Jiang and the four had been missing for so many days, and hundreds of village names in the village had all been dispatched, holding torches to find them.

After seeing Brother Jiang, the village name hurriedly asked where Zhuang Qiang and Ergen Sangen were? Brother Jiang lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he told him what he had experienced in the past few days. When the grandfather in his 80s heard this, he immediately fainted! And the parents of Ergen and Sangen hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Brother Jiang's collar and were about to beat him: "You are damn it! You return my son! Return my son!" Fortunately, the names of the surrounding villages came up to stop and pull away the parents of Ergen and Sangen, otherwise Brother Jiang would definitely be beaten half to death!

After this incident, the village chief severely criticized Brother Jiang, and everyone in the village no longer paid attention to Brother Jiang, avoiding him from afar, and seeing Brother Jiang was like seeing a plague god...

After Brother Jiang finished talking about this experience, his eyes were already moist and he sighed. Lin Luxian and the others also took turns to comfort Brother Jiang.

The experience that Brother Jiang said, what surprised Lin Luxian and the others the most was the blue giant painted on the wall of the Forest Palace. Lin Luxian and the others just wanted to find the Blue Shura Clan and find Yun Tianhyun through the Blue Shura Clan. And don't go back to the wall of the Forest Land Palace, there happens to be a blue giant painted all over, maybe this blue giant is related to the Blue Shura clan! As for the statue monster mentioned by Brother Jiang, Lin Luxian and the others are somewhat familiar, because in the "Mystery of Things" it is recorded that there is a race with four hands, this race is called the Dirt-eating Clan, which is an ancient and evil race! They are all bald, have no gender, and their long hollow tongues with sharp teeth can easily penetrate the bodies of people and animals! And their tongues can also spit out strong acid-like digestive juices, which can quickly digest all the internal organs of the prey into nutrient solution, and then they will absorb all the digested nutrient solution in the belly of the prey! But there is no record of the origin of this visceral eater in the book. However, the visceral eaters recorded in the book are not blue-gray all over, but yellow all over, the same skin color as the human race. As for whether the visceral eaters recorded in the book are the statue monsters mentioned by Brother Jiang, you have to go to the Don't Return Forest to find the statue monsters to find out.

"Brother Jiang, can you take us to Beihui Lin to find this dungeon? Lin Luxian said to Brother Jiang

Brother Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no! I have already lost three partners in Behuilin, and I don't want you to lose your lives there!"

"Brother Jiang, don't be afraid, with us, we can protect you, just a statue is not to be afraid of! Especially him, you can see that he is a powerful character by looking at his eyes, right!" Dian Pu pointed to Lin Luxian and said

"That's right, Brother Jiang, if we meet those statue monsters in Behuilin, we just kill them to avenge your three companions, and save you from feeling guilty all the time. Ao Yi said

We are absolutely able to keep you safe. Xiao also spoke

Hearing Lin Luxian and the others say this, Brother Jiang felt a little better, Brother Jiang has been tormented in his heart for the past two years, his conscience is uneasy, and he has nightmares every night. The people in the village also hated him and disliked him. And now the appearance of Lin Luxian and the others gave him a lot of encouragement, and he thought to himself that if Lin Luxian and the others were really from ancient times, they must all be extraordinary masters! He stood up and said, "Okay! I'll take you there! If you meet a statue monster, you must kill it!"

Before leaving, Brother Jiang bowed to the photos of Zhuangqiang, Ergen, and Sangen in the room of the house, and then said, "I'm really sorry! I let you die unjustly in the forest, but I survived. For the past two years, every day has been a torment for me... Now, I will bring people to avenge you, so that your souls may rest in peace!"
