Chapter 27: The Remains of the Crystal Nucleus
Listening to Li Qing's tone, the situation outside should be very good, Wang Tao didn't know if it was the same as he expected, and he also wanted to go out to see, but now was not the time to go out, so everyone waited for a few more days, but because the ventilation window was opened, the air circulation in the castle was not very stuffy, and at the same time, it was a lot brighter, so everyone passed safely for another 5 days.
"You wait for me first, I'll go out and have a look, Wang Han and the two of you go." Li Qing said.
"Okay."
After speaking, the two of them walked towards the vent, because the ladder that Wang Tao came back from setting fire was on the ventilation window of the castle, and it was not burned out, and it had been erected there, so there was no need to open the door at all, but the two of them just looked around at the vent, their faces were a little bad, and they saw 3 creatures similar to wild horses lying there, turned to Li Qiang and said: "Xiaoqiang, you come up with a shotgun, there are 3 beasts here, everyone go to other ventilation windows to see if there are any other creatures." ”
Li Qiang responded to the order, took the shotgun and walked towards the stairs to the ventilation window, Li Qiang saw the target, picked up the shotgun and aimed it at one of the wild horses, slammed the shot, hit the neck of the wild horse impartially, rolled in place a few times, then did not move and opened his eyes wide and panted, the other two were frightened and ran quickly into the distance.
Li Qing gave a thumbs up and said, "It's worthy of being a sharpshooter." ”
Li Qiang replied with a proud expression: "Awards, awards." ”
The matter here came to an end, and the people who went to check if there were any other beasts nearby also completed their task, and they all said that there were no other beasts nearby, this time Li Qing and Wang Han went down to the ladder after being relieved, and looked around, everything was normal, quietly, looking into the distance, it was originally a dense mountain forest, but now it was empty, and there were patches of black and burned trees on the ground, the temperature in the air was still a little hot, and the dust that had been burned by the fire drifted away with the wind, Li Qing, After Wang Han and the others checked around and made sure that everything was fine, they asked everyone to come out and discuss the next move.
Of course, the gate of the castle is still sealed, and now the gate is not open, everyone gathers at the gate of the castle to discuss countermeasures, Li Xin and Xiaoxue are still in the castle. After all, it's a girl, so it's better to stay at home.
Wang Tao and his group, after discussing for a long time, decided to disperse in groups to find the remains of the crystal nucleus, Wang Tao, Li Qiang, Wang Han group, Li Qing, and a group of people named Sun Yuan. Although everyone dispersed this time, but the distance was not too far away, Wang Tao gave his shotgun to Li Qing, saying that if there was danger, he would shoot immediately, so that everyone could come to support as soon as they heard the gunshot.
After all, this time is to find the remains of the crystal nucleus, and it must be found quickly, Li Qing has always suggested scattering to find, so that the search can be accelerated, at first everyone did not agree to disperse the search, after all, there was something about Du Yu, I am afraid that I am in danger, but after a long day of dispute, I finally agreed to Li Qing's suggestion.
After dividing the group, everyone began to set off, towards the center of the beast planet, Wang Tao walked all the way through the stumbling, coke all over the ground, looking around, a sigh in his heart, a few days ago it was still such a dense and prosperous mountain forest, this just a few days has become a waste area, Wang Tao covered his mouth and nose with clothes, although the fire has been extinguished, but the burned trees still emit a faint green smoke, the green smoke in the sky is still a little choking.
After walking a distance, Wang Tao found that there were charred corpses, different sizes, all kinds, Wang Tao imagined the scene in his mind, in the raging fire, those lives screamed and ran in it, with flames on their bodies, constantly struggling, bearing pain, wanting to do the last struggle for the life that could not be redeemed at all, waiting for them was gradually dying, Wang Tao had a trace of trembling in his heart, and also a trace of guilt, which was also regarded as his own sin, But Wang Tao will not leave a shadow because of this killing, because Wang Tao knows that if you don't die, then it is me who may die, although there are many innocent lives among you, you are so lovely, so kind, no wonder else, this can be blamed on fate.
I don't know how long I walked, anyway, everything here is so unfamiliar, although Wang Tao can't recognize where this is, but it is certain that he has stepped out of the previous range of activities, even if he restores this place to its original appearance, it must be a place he has not been to. The search continues, because there are no trees to cover it, the surrounding situation is unobstructed, there is no danger, even if there is a creature that threatens their own life, they can also be found and fled in time, now they can only see some small creatures the size of mice wandering around, of course, these small animals can be ignored directly.
Wang Tao found a creature with a length of two meters lying on the ground from a distance, covered in darkness, and it could be seen that it was dead at a glance, Wang Tao and the others walked towards the creature, and when they walked to the side, Wang Tao was a little shocked in his heart, the dead creature had a slender body, with a big mouth, and it was roaring before death, even at the moment of death, it did not stop roaring, and the four sharp claws made people palpitate just by looking at it.
Wang Tao said to himself: "If this thing is encountered when it is alive, it will definitely not be able to escape, looking at this body structure, you know that it is extremely fast." ”
"Yes, if you don't burn this place to the bottom, you'll really have to live in the castle for the rest of your life." Li Qiang said.
"Now that I've done this, I hope there really is the remains of the crystal nucleus, if not, all of this is in vain, and I have to think of other ways to start anew, then I don't know when, there will be grass and trees growing here, maybe I have to set a fire."
"Bah, Taozi, can you say something human." Li Qiang rebuked angrily.
"Just kidding, why are you so excited, the meaning of the carving on the wall should be absolutely fine, the painting is very detailed, as long as the crystal nucleus remains can be found, all this can be solved, and it can also confirm our guess." Wang Tao said confidently.
Wang Han also participated in their topic and said, "Taozi is right, as long as we can find the remains of the crystal nucleus, we have an 80% chance of completely leaving this ghost place." ”
Wang Tao and they were chatting, and suddenly Wang Tao saw a scene that made him so familiar, squinting and looking carefully at the distance ahead, it was a yellow mist, the range was very small, that kind of fog was definitely the yellow mist he saw when he came to Nongfu Mountain, when Li Xin chased a little white rabbit and accidentally broke into the yellow mist, Wang Tao and Li Qiang were worried that Li Xin would chase after him, and only after chasing him in could he be regarded as coming to this damn beast planet.
Now the yellow mist appeared in front of Wang Tao's eyes again, but this time the fog was much lighter, Wang Tao squinted his eyes and looked in that direction, only to see that there was a moment in the fog where three people surrounded the big stone in the center, about two meters high.
At this time, Wang Tao said inadvertently: "The remains of the crystal nucleus." ”
