Chapter 68: The Stone Statue
"How so!"
This place is full of thatch. My wrist was bleeding.
"Is there a plant in your place called hairy grass?"
I asked again, but the girl didn't know what to ask and shook her head.
Trichophyllum vulgaris, a plant of the genus, is a medicinal herb plant of the world, and has a miraculous effect on abrasions.
——
Looking at the other side from a distance, the neighing sound of the spore polluted beast that the high priest had transformed into resounded in the sky, and due to her excessive struggle, there was a slight abrasion on her waist, but this level of damage was not a fear at all for this spore beast that could be humanized, it was just a small problem.
Because her body has the ability to regenerate at a high speed, even if she cuts off an arm, she will grow new ones in a few seconds, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. It's like being connected.
"Bastard, that stinky boy, dare to play with the old lady, next time let me arrest him, I will definitely not be able to spare him."
The spore beast waved its claws and roared wildly, and her roar startled a crowd of birds, and the surrounding wild animals, deer, boars, leopards, etc., all fled in panic.
Her roar was not simply to vent her emotions, it was to gather her subordinates and summon several worker-bee-level spore beasts that had been waiting around, about five or six. They began to gather together. Move in the direction of the High Priest.
Several spore beasts came up to the High Priest, quietly waiting for orders.
At this moment, the ugly spore beast transformed back into a human form, taking on the form of a high priest, and she took off her trench coat, revealing her sexy, plump figure, habitually licking her seductive lips, and said angrily.
"What are you guys doing here, hurry up and catch that kid for me, if you can't catch him, stuff the old lady into the dirt."
The high priest's eyes were sharp, and she swore not to give up until she achieved her goal.
Even if he transforms into a human form, the High Priest is still a spore beast after all, and its essence has not changed, and the spore* flow does not exactly need sound, but can also pass through smell. It may seem like a no-brainer, but it is. Let's take the queen of spore beasts as an example, you think, there are tens of thousands of base individuals in the spore beast group all over the world, and there is only one queen of them, and the intelligent and fortress-level spore beasts are easy to say, after all, they have intelligence and can survive alone. But what do you think about the actions of those thousands and hundreds of worker-level spore beasts? How do they act normatively without wisdom? Not to mention the fighting.
If you rely on sound alone, this is absolutely unreasonable, so the main thing is to rely on smell; The queen regularly secretes a radioactive hormone, and this hormone can be scattered around the world with the wind, just like the queen casts a super net large enough to cover the land, and then sends small soldiers to work for her in this large net, and she can use this way to easily control the entire spores, of course, the meaning of the queen can also be transmitted through this way.
The sapient sporozoites also release hormones that make it easier to communicate with the queen.
Zizi.
After the High Priestess vented her anger and frustration, she ordered several spore beasts to scatter and disappear into the jungle to find the man who had just played her.
——
Qiu Yi Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains and forests are dense, at the top of a ridge in the north of it, in front of the entrance of the karst cave, there are two figures, a man and a woman, and the appearance is quite upright. Boys are slightly older than girls. Both were slightly tired.
Since there is no such herb, then give up.
I endured the pain and looked ahead a few times, and found a cave on the top of a ridge not far away, which was particularly dazzling in the middle of the night, and the entrance of the cave emitted a faint red light, which was faintly red and extremely attractive.
"Do you know what the name of that place is in front of you? Judging by your appearance, you should be a villager of Qiu Er Village, because this is a radius of hundreds of miles, and I heard that there is only one village. ”
I gestured to the glowing cavern in front of me and motioned for the girl to answer my question.
Seeing that I was not speaking with a local accent and was dressed in a way that did not match her style, I did not expect that this would immediately alert her, and the girl hurriedly took a few steps back and kept a relatively safe distance from me.
"Are you a foreigner, a businessman, or a guest on a journey?"
Her expression was complicated, revealing a hint of doubt.
Although she was wary of me, after all, I had just rescued her, and her attitude towards me was still more respectful.
I shook my head and whispered.
"Neither."
Her brow furrowed slightly, revealing a wary look. The girl took a step back again.
"And what are you here for?"
I wondered why the girl would ask that.
"The purpose? What purpose can I have, strictly speaking I'm being exiled here...... Oh, a captive. ”
She almost told the truth, and if she were to say that she was an exiled warrior, it would have left a very bad impression on her. Fortunately, I noticed it early, and after my eyes rolled around, I immediately changed my words.
"Captive? So you say that you are a soldier Lo. ”
The girl's expression changed at this time, from the vigilance just now to a softer. And the tone is much softer.
"Well, it used to be, but now you have seen my appearance, and I am now reduced to an ordinary villager."
"I've lost my qualifications as a fighter."
I spread my hands out and made a helpless expression.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Not wanting to continue the topic, I abruptly changed my tune.
"I'm an orphan, I don't have a name, and I don't even know what my parents look like, I've been abducted and trafficked to this village since the moment I was sensible, but I'm very happy, the uncles and aunts in the village are very kind to me, they are very kind to me, they not only adopted me, but also raised me for so many years."
The girl's face was happy, and she suddenly crouched down and sat down beside me, helping me to carefully treat the wound.
"Although I don't have a name, Aunt Huang gave me a nickname, called Girl."
The girl said.
"Don't move, bear with me, although these small wounds are not serious, they are easily infected, so it is better to deal with them."
The girl found some weeds from a haystack, put them in her mouth, chewed them slowly, chewed them and gently applied them to my wound with her hands.
The girl's movements are very light and skillful.
"This method was given to me by my aunt, she is the local doctor in this village, although she can't read a few words, but her medical skills are very shrewd."
I didn't see it, this girl's hand work was still quite meticulous, and when I treated my wounds, I didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
The girl looked at me and suddenly asked curiously.
"Since you are from the outside world of Qiu Er Village, then you must know the outside world very well, there must be a lot of interesting things outside, it must be very beautiful."
The girl grew up in a village, locked up in this narrow and remote country, and her desire for the outside world became more and more longing.
"The outside world is fine, there are many new things that you haven't seen before, with buildings, there are buildings! There were cars, there were trains, and marshmallows ......"
I sketched the outside world to the girl, of course, I just said the better side, I'm a person who can't lie.
"Marshmallows? What is that, can you eat it? ”
Oh, isn't there a marshmallow in this village?
"It's okay to eat, and it's sweet, if you have the chance, I'll treat you to it next time."
Although my mouth should be accepted, I don't have a bottom myself, and it's a headache whether I can go back or not.
The girl looked excited in anticipation, and she suddenly stretched out her hand, palms downward......
Hey? What the hell is she doing?
Suddenly, the girl took my hand. Overlap my palms with hers.
"This is an agreement between you and me, you must remember to abide by it."
With that, she smiled and retracted her little hand.
And I froze where I was.
[This way of agreeing is a custom in Qiu Er Village, which is popular among children. 】
Then she said solemnly.
"Actually, I don't lie to you, I really don't know about this place, because this area is a forbidden place in the village, and the villagers have always been not allowed to approach easily, and I only confirmed it in my heart after seeing the cave, the cave in front should be the place where the big stone statue of the god Huangsi is placed, and this cave is also a place for sacrificial activities."
As she spoke, the girl's body subconsciously trembled.
I looked deeply at the cave.
In that case, it's all the more worth exploring.
"Girl, let's go."
The girl asked curiously.
"Where to go?"
I pointed to the cave in front of me and smiled, but this smile was an extremely strange and terrifying smile in the girl's eyes.
"Of course, it's the cave."
I also learned the girl's local accent.
Hey, the girl hesitated, she just escaped death, and this time she is going again!
"Wait, you haven't told me your name yet."
Without waiting for the girl to speak, and without seeing if she nodded in agreement with me, I grabbed her arm and dragged her by force.
On the lawn hillside, the wind was strong, and I shouted in answer to her.
"Lin Mu, my name is Lin Mu."
She shielded herself from the wind with her hand and nodded heavily.
After crossing a jungle and crossing a few rocks, we climbed to the entrance of the cave, and the girl asked in confusion from exhaustion.
"Lin Mu, what are you pulling me here for, this is the cave of the Phoenix God, let's leave quickly."
The girl tugged at the corner of my clothes and urged me to leave.
"Wait."
I waved her to wait, and not far from the front of the cave, I saw a statue, three meters wide and five meters high, with a stone pillar on the lower body, and an animal body on the top, with two heads, dorsal fins, a long tongue, fangs, and a sharp tail fin, which looked ugly like a mutated sporozoite.
But I am sure that this stone statue is definitely not a phoenix god, it is crudely made, and the structure of every part of the body is put together at random, so I came to a bold conjecture and conclusion in my mind.
These points are enough to illustrate a problem, no one in this Qiuer Village has ever seen the true face of the Phoenix God at all.
And the statue of the god Huangsi in front of them is just a random creation of the four dissimilarities according to their imagination of terrifying things.
