Chapter 29: The Seal
What has been sealed for thousands of years is not only hidden history, but also unspeakable evils.
Guanglong, Hina Ling, and the old couple worked together to drag the rope up a large section, and the incision was made to avoid the destruction of the crystal pillar.
Yipinlan is about to climb to the top of the crystal pillar. As the root of the crystal pillar broke, its tendency to collapse and destroy became more and more obvious, and the deep cracks also extended to the top, and the upper mouth became farther and farther away from the top of the mountain.
All things have spirits. The crystal pillar has not been broken for more than a thousand years, and its vitality is fully maintained in the roots, and its roots are damaged, and the upper part naturally collapses. A thousand-year-old treasure was destroyed. Jin Lao couldn't help but sigh: "The magnificent mirror array and the crystal pillar that has stood for thousands of years are all because of our incense. Should we be here? ”
The speed of the crystal pillar crack extends faster than that of a pinlan, and when it reaches the upper mouth, the crack begins to develop horizontally, and the rate of cracking intensifies. Guanglong thought that the shattering of the crystal pillar was more conducive to saving people, and now the inclined posture made it difficult for even a pinlan to climb out, let alone pull out Chaoluan.
Just when Yipinlan was about to reach the top of the mountain, the crystal pillars that lacked the support of the roots were swaying under the wind and rain with their ropes, but they could not escape the arrangement of fate. The thousand-year-old crystal finally collapsed, and the fragments flew everywhere, falling like stars, and falling like a waterfall for 3,000 feet.
Without the restraint of the crystal pillar, the rope connecting Yipinlan and Chaoluan followed the vibration and began to make a pendulum action. They hold the rope tightly and make it slowly and steadily.
Guanglong could see clearly from the top of the mountain, countless large and small fantastic crystals of all sizes fell rapidly, and all of them smashed into the zombie group on the ground, seriously injured. There was also the hanging Chaoluan, and the top one was safe and sound.
The ruined crystal pillar eventually returned to dust, and lost its former glory. This is like a thousand-year-old crystal of ice, who will tell the immortal legend for it?
The angry zombie group below, trampling the fragments of the crystal pillar at will, reaching out to reach the Chaoluan hanging on the rope. In fact, Chaoluan was still more than ten meters away from them, and he couldn't reach it at all. However, there were too many zombies, and the injured had not yet had time to get up, and they were invisibly stacked layer upon layer, and they actually rose up.
Don't panic, the zombie group has no sense of cooperation, they are just a plate of scattered sand. Just wait for Yipinlan to climb up with the rope, and Chaoluan will be saved.
After a long wait, Yi Pinlan climbed up with a dangling rope. didn't wait for her to rest, everyone worked together to pull Chaoluan up. The pile of zombies is still some distance away, and it can't be done. They didn't dare to slack off, for fear that if they slackened, they would let Chaoluan die in the mouth.
It was difficult for them to pull it up before, but now with the addition of a female man, it was easy to pull Chaoluan up. At this time, he was angry.
Finally got through the crisis. They lay around the mouth of the cave at the top of the mountain, gasping for breath, no longer worrying about the zombies, to hell with them. The stars in the sky gradually lost their luster, and in the depths of the distant clouds, the warm sun began to appear. The unbearable darkness is about to pass, and the light of expectation will be far away.
The old couple Jin checked Chaoluan's injuries and the situation was not optimistic. Chaoluan, who was only covered by underwear ~ pants, breathed weakly, was charred all over, and his body was full of wounds and debris. He endured unbearable fire, tearing, cutting of lenses and crystals, and the test of cold, and it is a miracle that he survived. He must be rescued immediately.
Yi Pinlan remembered the hard-earned white ball, hurriedly searched around, and asked Xiaoling again, almost vomiting blood in anger.
It turned out that the young Ling who got the white ball didn't take it seriously at all. In order to save Yipinlan and Chaoluan, she casually kept the white ball aside. When Yi Pinlan asked, he remembered it, but the white ball was long gone.
Guanglong smiled helplessly. The white ball was snatched by Chao Luan at the risk of his life, but his idol was none of his business.
Yi Pinlan jumped like thunder and said, "Lost? Do you know how Chaoluan got it, and if he dies, are you worthy of him? ”
Xiaoling was so frightened that she almost cried, knowing that she had no idea about it. She said, "I... Not intentionally. Then I don't have to repay the kindness I gave you to save you, it's okay to settle the two. ”
Yipinlan's eyebrows were upside down, and he couldn't wait to slap the ignorant eldest lady.
There is no one here, and the white ball was captured by the big bird? But there were no birds in the sky. Look at the strange rocks at the top of the mountain, walking on it is very easy to produce side slips, is it because of the external force to roll down the mountain? It's hard to find, there are woods and the sea below, and they either fall into the hands of the fathers, or they sink into the sea. Thinking about the white ball missing out on them, it seems that fate is still shallow.
The mountain wind is howling, and the early dawn is the strongest, especially on the bare mountains, there is no green vegetation to cover it. Guanglong couldn't help but shiver.
Yi Pinlan and Xiao Ling were still arguing endlessly, and Mrs. Jin was dissuading them, completely forgetting about the seriously injured Chaoluan.
Jin Lao coughed and stopped: "Is there still an end?" You don't care if Chaoluan lives or dies. If the ball is lost, fate will find it; People are going to die, and it's too late for you to see them. Throw him here, and freeze to death! ”
Yi Pinlan was also full of shame, seeing that Chaoluan's injury was serious, the top priority was to go down the mountain to warm up and replenish energy.
It's easy to go up the hill and hard to go down. The mountain is steep, the rocks are cold on the way, and if you go down, you will only fall to pieces. The rope that pulled Chaoluan up was still tied to the boulder, just enough to be held down the mountain, and I don't know if it can reach the bottom of the mountain.
Looking around at everyone, it seemed that only Guanglong was the best candidate to go down the mountain with his back to Luan. The old couple are old enough to be carried; Xiao Ling's tearful eyes were full of pity and couldn't bear to look at them directly; Yipinlan is full of heroism, and others dare not offend. Hey, even if Guanglong is unlucky, who made him a villain.
They made a difficult descent down the mountain along the rope. Guanglong struggled to carry the Chaoluan, and sometimes had to slide down. With the help of ropes, the faster they can travel. Halfway up the mountain, Yipinlan knotted another rope. Finally they barely reached the path they had taken into the cave. Fortunately, the mountain road slowed down, and it was only a step away from the road from which it came.
Finally landed near the cave, Guanglong was too tired to get up. Seeing that the stone gate was wide open and could not be restored, Guanglong was worried that the zombie group would run out of here, or escape from the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
From then on, it was much easier to go down the mountain, Yipinlan and Xianling carried the injured Chaoluan, and Guanglong was able to rest for a while. When the sun rose, they hurried to the foot of the mountain.
At the edge of the woods, they decided to make a fire on the spot to cook and heal Chaoluan's injuries.
None of them had the necessary medicines and antibiotics on them, so they only lay Chaoluan flat on the beach and used the fire to keep him warm. Yipinlan went deep into the woods to look for local herbs, and the rest of the people couldn't help but stay and take care of them.
Chaoluan's state is extremely unstable, his half-open eyes are empty and focusless, there is always no air intake, and his body is still cold after being warm for a while.
Xiaoling is a lot more sensible than before, and took the initiative to fetch water to wipe off the smoke and dust on Chaoluan's body. Not only did she feel that she was at fault first, but she was also sad that her fans were uncertain about their lives and deaths. Even Guanglong didn't dare to conclude whether Chaoluan could survive to the end.
Yipinlan found unknown herbs, red and green. She mashed the medicine, gave part of it to Chaoluan internally, and applied the rest externally to the wound. According to her, the herb called Sunset Green can relieve pain and dispel blood stasis and regulate qi and blood disharmony. An overdose can increase blood flow and act as a pacemaker. Whether Chaoluan comes back to life or not depends on his own creation.
They did their best, and all that remained was silent prayer. Everything was arranged, and the breakfast of the old couple was also done.
Breakfast was not very rich, with leftover pheasant meat from yesterday, a few green avocals, cooked sabertooth vegetables, and scattered wild vegetables. Although it was simple, they still ate with relish, and compared to the quality of the food, it is the truth that they can live until the next moment.
They stopped talking because of Chaoluan's injury, and looked back from time to time to see how he reacted, expecting him to continue smiling at them.
Yi Pinlan never forgot the lost white ball, and remembered what Mrs. Jin had said about the seal, so she asked, "Old lady, what did you say about the sealed white ball?" ”
Mrs. Jin was stunned for a moment, and recalled: "I am also speculating. Remember what's on the mural? We all thought it was a sacrifice, and it looked like that at the scene. Actually, no, the painting shows the sealing ceremony. ”
They are like an initiation, and they are breaking through the heavens in one word. The black hole turned out to be the sacred place where the ancients sealed the mysterious white ball. Why seal in the belly of a giant?
Mrs. Jin explained: "In ancient times, it was much bigger than this kind of giant. As for what is so particular about hiding in the stomach, it is not known. ”
Yi Pinlan nodded in agreement: "Giants are not strange. We live in a time when biodiversity is different from your world, and there are so many species that will stab your mind. ”
Jin Lao continued: "In this way, the zombie group on the top of the cave has been guarding the sealed white ball. So when we take out the white balls, they are summoned to attack us. When they dropped the white ball, the zombies did not chase after it, but sat around the white ball to watch and pray, which is enough to prove this.
Guanglong agreed with their inference. When they inadvertently steal the white orb inside the giant's body, it seems to trigger some kind of mechanism to awaken the zombie horde on top. In other words, the zombies are not attacking them, but taking away the white ball, which is really defending. The zombie hordes that lost the white balls will definitely not give up and really want to rush out of the mountain? Prison Island has never been at peace.
Can zombies really follow orders? And obeyed for a thousand years? It's a little different from the zombies that Guanglong has encountered.
Wait, Guanglong has a more terrifying idea. It is true that the people in the mural are not raising silkworms, but walking corpse insects!
As early as ancient times, people began to raise terrifying walking corpse insects in large quantities, creating zombies to guard homes and important things, and also to use them in war. Guanglong saw the steel and iron bones of zombies, and when he met such a legion that was not afraid of death and no pain, the enemy fled in despair. Looking at the situation where the zombies are bent on guarding the white ball, it shows that the zombies can be controlled at that time.
The Walking Dead Worms, which were originally sleeping, actually woke up again and studied upgrades, allowing them to see the light of day again.
Guanglong didn't tell everyone the terrible walking corpse worm, and saying it would definitely cause an uproar~ waves.
Yi Pinlan worried: "As you say, we must escape from the island, otherwise the zombies will run out and hurt people sooner or later." "They don't have a white ball to cover up, and they don't have a guarantee.
Jin Lao thought about it and said, "In my opinion, this is a veritable volcanic island, and if they can escape from the volcano, they must have come out of the cave when we came, but it will take time to find it." And they can't move during the day, don't they die at the sight of the light? "There's really no need to worry too much.
They actually crawled out of the crater. However, depending on the degree of decay of the volcano, it should be that the extinct volcano will not erupt.
Xiao Ling on the side said with disdain on her face: "What's so good about the white ball, you all like it?" Snubbed me as a big living person. "She was clearly jealous. Guanglong suspects that Hina Ling deliberately threw away the white ball.
If you don't mention it, Yipinlan is full of anger. Xiao Ling glanced at her and stopped talking.
Guanglong comforted Xiao Ling and said: "Don't take it to heart, it's a big deal that the two of us have one, call him a white ball and a black ball, in short, it's a ball." ”
Hinale was about to fight, knowing that he was joking.
Elder Jin muttered, "Most of the sealed things are ominous, but they may also be heirloom treasures. The white ball doesn't belong to us after all, it's no fate! ”
Where did the white ball come from, what did it do, and why was it sealed. All kinds of questions are sealed in the dust of history, and no one can solve them, tempting them to scratch their hearts.
They also guessed that Xiao Ling shouted happily: "Look, Brother Chaoluan is awake!" ”
When they finally woke up, they were overjoyed. But seeing Chaoluan's eyes wide, bloodshot, and full of despair.
