Chapter 67: The Vanishing Man
Those humanoid landscapes composed of plants and trees have very clear outlines of limbs, and even the clothes worn on them are extremely detailed, although only the color of the plants and trees in the clothing part is darker and denser, but everyone can distinguish it intuitively...... Some people wear long-sleeved jackets, while others wear undershirts.
The appearance of these humanoid landscapes is not consistent, if you look at it with the naked eye, you can completely distinguish men, women and children, and even see the difference in the figure of each person, the difference in the contour of the facial features...... That kind of spirituality, which is difficult to describe in words, is not artificially pruned, as Mr. Skeleton said, each of these landscapes looks like a living person!
"Old man, what are those things?" Chen Xian walked forward quickly, keeping a safe distance of about five meters from the old man and children, and asked quietly, "Are those dummies made by your village?" ”
Hearing the word "dummy", the old man smiled and said, "Of course we didn't make it, don't you look at these things so delicate...... We big bosses can't figure it out. ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man took out a box of unopened paper cigarettes from his pocket, slowly unpacked the dirty packaging, and then lit one for himself, leading the child far ahead, and said without looking back.
"These are miracles left by the gods."
After receiving this answer, everyone looked at each other for a while, and no one spoke.
A miracle left by the gods?
"Old man, you said that all the people in the village have come to worship that god...... Where did they worship? Lu Yisheng couldn't help but ask curiously, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes from time to time, because the longer he stayed in this Meishan, the more unbearable the uneasiness in his heart became, and his heartbeat rate never returned to normal from beginning to end.
"It's around here." The old man replied without looking back.
At this moment, there was a burst of birdsong in the sky, and it was only then that everyone realized a problem.
When they walked in the plum mountains before, they couldn't hear any animal activity at all, whether it was a large animal or a small creature that should be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests...... None of them.
Insects and birds, these animals that are common in the mountains and forests, seem to have disappeared in this plum mountain, as if they have never appeared, and they cannot be found in the forest until now..... Walking into this strange pine forest, everyone gradually heard the sounds of animals.
I don't know what kind of bird is flying in the sky.
Their hissing voice is extremely hoarse and sharp, like an invisible steel needle, and the moment they appear, they take the initiative to drill into everyone's ears, although the volume is not very loud, but it does sound very headache...... I only felt that the eardrum was pierced by them, and it was indescribably uncomfortable.
When the crowd followed the prestige to see what kind of bird was so annoying, they saw that at the top of some of the pine trees, there were nine giant black birds the size of children standing in the canopy, and they made the hoarse and high-pitched cry.
In appearance, they resemble crows on Earth, and many features are similar to crows, but they are obviously enlarged in size, with a height of about one and a half meters alone, and the length of the wingspan is unknown for a short time...... However, they are very different from crows in one place.
It was also because of this characteristic that Chen Xian and the others wondered if this animal could be some kind of abnormal life?
Their heads are in the shape of a large black tumor, with dense folds that resemble brain tissue, and on top of these folds are many thumb-sized eyeballs, each of which is black and white and similar to the structure of a human eyeball, and they all have independent eyelids, and each blink is very obvious.
When Chen Xian noticed these giant birds, they were also silently staring at Chen Xian and them, and their hundreds of eyes were rolling wildly, and their dense gazes were constantly moving on everyone, as if they were scanning these outsiders with a strange humanized look.
Looking at their deformed appearance, it is very consistent with the positioning of "abnormal life" in everyone's impression, but after careful observation and identification, plus Mr. Skeleton's special examination...... Only one answer was obtained.
These deformed beings are just ordinary birds and birds, and although their vitality is so strong that they are almost close to that of humans, no matter how you look at them, the particle energy in their bodies is also in a state of equilibrium, and they do not have the characteristics of those abnormal life forms from head to toe.
"Why do these things look so weird...... Lu Yisheng muttered softly, looking at the giant birds who were staring at everyone with a nervous face, "That head looks so crazy......
"Maybe it's a creature unique to this world." Chen Xian replied in a low voice, his eyes couldn't help but become a little curious.
What is the world really like?
If this is really a parallel space of the original world...... Or maybe it's some deformed and remote corner of time and space...... So what is it like in this world, what is it like outside Meishan? How much worse is the level of technology compared to the original world? It shouldn't be to the point of exaggeration like science fiction movies, right?
For this unknown world, Chen Xian is both vigilant and curious, after all, not everyone can encounter this kind of thing, but it is a pity that the perennial white fog on Meishan blocks the line of sight, otherwise it would be a glance from the top of the mountain...... You should be able to see some of the nearby towns.
"Boss!!"
Suddenly, Lu Yisheng shouted in Chen Xian's ear, which frightened Chen Xian instinctively.
"What's wrong?!" Chen Xian hurriedly asked.
Lu Yisheng grabbed Chen Xian's arm with a pale face, if he was a little thicker-skinned, it was estimated that he would be able to get into Chen Xian's arms directly like Mu He.
"The man is gone!! The old man and the child are gone!! ”
Hearing this, Chen Xian hurriedly looked forward.
The old people and children who were walking a few meters away before have completely disappeared at this moment, as if they had never disappeared silently...... This kind of strange thing makes Chen Xian seem incredible, if he wasn't quite awake, he might really think that he was dreaming!
Although the old man and the child walked in front of them and kept a certain distance from everyone, the distance would never exceed five meters.
Within a range of five meters, they evaporated without making a sound..... Who would dare to believe such a thing?!
"Why are people gone?"
Mr. Skeleton was also stunned, and it seemed that he didn't notice that the old man and the young man had disappeared, and he didn't notice this until Lu Yisheng reminded him of it.
"You didn't sense anything?" Chen Xian asked him a little anxiously, hoping to get some clues from Mr. Skeleton, after all, his strength has not been reduced in this world, and he can still maintain the most primitive combat power.
"Nope." Mr. Skeleton said, scratching his big bald head in confusion, puzzled by the phenomenon of the two men disappearing into thin air, "I didn't sense anything...... Odd...... How did they disappear......"
"Which of you saw it?" Chen Xian asked.
"Nope." Xu Yanan shook his head, as if he was a little scared, and quietly hid behind Chen Xian, "As soon as I looked up, the people disappeared, and I didn't see how they disappeared." ”
"Me too." Li Daosheng's face was full of sadness, he only felt that Chen Xian had brought him to death, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a loss, and he also regretted his grudge with Chen Xian at the foot of Meishan, and couldn't help asking, "Are we in danger?" Are those two people trying to yin us? ”
"I don't know."
Chen Xian glanced at the meat saws that were carried by Mr. Skeleton all the way in the box, and felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
"It's fine."
Mr. Skeleton was very calm, not taking this matter to heart at all, and there was that slightly stiff smile on his face from beginning to end, as if this leather bag was not perfectly integrated with his body, and said with a smile: "I will protect you...... These low-level beings are no match for me...... I'll eat them when they show up again......"
Hearing Mr. Skull's comfort, everyone calmed down a lot, after all, his combat power was still quite convincing, but Chen Xian didn't take his comfort to heart, because Chen Xian found something that made him creepy, just when he was looking around for the traces of the two people, he accidentally found that he had a ...... on the back of his hand Something strange appeared.
"I seem to be in trouble."
Chen Xian said with a pale face, looking at the dense green dots on the back of his hand, he felt that his scalp was about to explode.
These seem to appear out of thin air in the form of balls embedded in their pores......
How does it look a bit like the seed of some kind of plant??
