The heat wave of the flames is blocked in the passageways that extend in all directions, but it is not so obvious.

At the entrance of the river, you will not feel much increase in temperature.

Su Xian entered it with the magic lantern, and with his familiarity with the route, he quickly approached the place before.

Even here, the aftermath of the heat has dissipated.

Further inside, the scars of the flames were all over the ground.

He began to slow down and move forward cautiously.

There was no movement ahead.

But that doesn't mean anything.

One step, two steps...... Taking the third step, he turned the corner again, and saw the "demon" in the passage again.

What caught my eye was a huge body that was no different from before!

"How is that possible?"

Su Xian almost subconsciously clenched his fists, but then he noticed that the huge mouth of this "demon" ...... No, it's the whole head that's gone!

Squeezing into the passage was no longer the monster from before, but a mass of black flesh that didn't even have a head!

With the death of the "demon's" brain, the mass of flesh lost the suppression of its biological instincts and began to grow outward without restraint, it redeveloped from its original charred core to its current size, and in a very short time it swelled to its current size, and perfectly stuck itself in this passage again!

The growth rate is almost visible to the naked eye, and when it no longer grows up and down, it starts to grow laterally.

Su Xian watched carefully for a while, raised his foot and kicked, kicking a charred black gravel into the body of the meat, but it did not produce any reaction.

After observing for a quarter of an hour, seeing that the volume of the lump of meat had expanded again, Su Xian cautiously approached and reached out to touch the black skin of the lump of flesh.

There is mucus on the epidermis, which is very thick and cold, but it does not seem to be poisonous.

Suddenly, there was a dark sound in my ears, fluttering like duckweed.

"There will be a time when life will eventually pass, and a hundred years will be nothing but a shudder on the fingertips, a flick of the fingers, and everything will be empty. When I was in the prime of life, I crisscrossed the battlefield, and I did not fall down at night, but now I am just a dying old man, rotten and dry, like a broken candle in the wind, which is extinguished in an instant. But I won't die just now! The world is big, and I am the world. Supporting the common people, erecting a male monument, casting Wanding, refining the god pill. The elixir can be achieved, and eternal life can be expected! ”

Su Xian was suddenly shocked, and retreated, staring at the lump of flesh in front of him that was still wriggling and growing with an extremely strange expression.

It took a long time before he withdrew his gaze and muttered, "At that moment just now, I thought it was this lump of meat talking...... This dark sound that came out of nowhere is really getting weirder and weirder. ”

As if to confirm the truth, he touched his hand to the lump again.

"Life has a ......"

It's still the same sound.

But this is clearly not a description, but a record of the speech of an emperor who calls himself "I".

Listening to this record, it seems that I can see that the emperor is standing on the top of the mountains and rivers, although his body is rickety, but his bearing is eternal, majestic and heroic.

"Supporting the common people, erecting a monument, casting Wanding, refining the god pill...... This Dan word has the meaning of red! Immortal Pill, Immortal Pill, it seems that my idea is not wrong. The lump of flesh in front of him must have a great deal to do with the wooden box that the tomb robber Augusta brought out of the mausoleum. ”

"The words on the seals of those boxes come from 3,500 years ago, although they are not Chinese characters, but they are very similar to Chinese characters, and now it seems that it should not be just a matter of likeness, it is likely to be the evolution of the broken Chinese characters that have been passed down to this world, and their interpretation methods and word formation methods have certain similarities."

Su Xian took a step back, wiped his palms, took out his palm-sized notebook from his waist bag, and flipped to the blank page.

From memory, he wrote down the previous translations of the text of the letter by Professor Buck and Mark in turn.

Professor: "Eternal, unfamiliar, red".

Mark: "Old, life, red".

"Eternal" vs. "long-along" are two translations of the same script.

Normally, there should be a translation between the two that is wrong, but in reality it is not.

Both translations are correct, but they are just two different meanings of one word.

In the same way, the same is true of "unfamiliarity" and "life".

The words "eternal" and "long" correspond to - "long".

The words corresponding to "unfamiliar" and "life" are - "raw".

The last "red", Dan has the meaning of red, that is, "Dan".

Together, it is the "elixir of longevity".

Su Xian was aware of this when he saw this second translation in Mark's notebook, but he was not sure of the correlation between the ancient characters and the Chinese characters, and he was not yet confident in his own judgment.

But now that he had heard the record of the unknown emperor's words, he was finally convinced of it.

Hidden in that wooden box is a "Longevity Pill"!

But after taking this "elixir", can you really live forever?

……

Throughout the ages, after the monarch has forged great deeds, there are almost no people who do not pursue immortality, but those who succeed ...... Civilization is broken and cannot be queried.

……

But here's one of the most obvious examples.

Su Xian looked at the lump of meat in front of him, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

This lump of meat is obviously because of taking that "Immortal Pill", or a part of the "Immortal Pill", that it has become what it is now.

A large amount of life force continued to pour out of its core, and even though it was dead, its vitality was not cut off, so that it would continue to grow and be stuck in the passage.

And the mutant wild dog before, the back half of his body is gone, but he can still run so far alive, and I think its mutation has a lot to do with the "Immortal Pill".

Perhaps the "elixir" was broken for some reason, and the lump of meat ate most of it, and the dog only ate a little scrap.

It is not yet clear what happened during this period that led to this result.

……

But this can at least prove that the "elixir" is not a finished product.

Of course, it is also possible that it has simply expired, after all, it is a drug from 3,500 years ago. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

……

"Anyway, now we should find a way to get rid of this lump of meat, if we let it continue to grow like this, I'm afraid it will be squeezed out of the drain over there overnight."

Thinking like this, Su Xian put away his notebook, picked up the card album of "Luo ●", and shone at the lump of meat.

Nothing happened as a result.

Sure enough, anything that is still alive cannot be included in the card book.

Su Xian spun around in place, and soon thought of a second method - a life sacrifice!

……
