Chapter 560: Flying Heaven
Maybe it's too depressing, and we don't want to stay here for a moment, so we move on. As our footsteps and the frescoes disappeared, there was a rare light of fire ahead, and the aura of the leylines became more and more intense, surging incessantly.
Turning another corner, the crowd soon saw two skull ghostfires burning on the wall, and the dark green flames jumped, shrouding everything in a blur.
Directly in front of us, a rotunda appeared, and the hall was brightly lit, but the legendary Saipan bird did not appear.
There appears to be a man in the middle of the hall, sitting cross-legged. The man was bald, hatless, beardless, and wore a blue cloth gown, looking like an old man. Around him stood four piles of bones, almost the same size.
The faint green flames, the trance that reflected the four piles of white bones, the indescribable strangeness, also made us all nervous instantly, not knowing whether the people in this hall were dead or alive, and where they were sacred.
But in any case, people are better than the strange birds, at least that's how I feel in my heart.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, paying careful attention to the surrounding environment, for fear of falling into some trap.
Walking into the rotunda, I found that it was unusually majestic, with a height of more than ten meters on the floor and ceiling, and it was open and spacious.
What's even more surprising is that there are caves like ant nests on the mountain walls around here, which are densely packed, and there are about hundreds.
From a distance, each hole has a diameter of two meters, and there are black holes inside, and I don't know where it leads, like a giant mouth of the devil, which makes people panic in their hearts, as if they have induced dense phobia.
If you look closely, it seems that there is something resembling a rope hanging from each hole, with a steel hook underneath, like a crane hook.
Just as our feet stepped into the hall, we felt a beam of light coming from our eyes.
Looking closely, the old man sitting in the center of the hall suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp and energetic pillars of light poured out of his eyes, like searchlights, which made people shudder.
Then he opened his mouth and began to speak. It's just that I don't understand his language, it's extremely weird, like some kind of dialect or local language, and I don't know what it means.
I was shocked, and secretly wondered if this person was the Gu cultivator in the ancient Qin period that Qian Ziqiang said?
was puzzled, but Tang Hongying, who was beside me, opened his mouth. To my shock, Tang Hongying seemed to be communicating with the old man, she spoke a strange language, and she spoke a lot of babble, and I couldn't understand a word.
But the old man in the center of the hall obviously understood, and before Tang Hongying finished speaking, he snorted coldly disdainfully, his body did not move, but he shouted something in his mouth, and from the tone, it seemed to be the words "shelving and mane".
Before the words fell, I heard the sound of the bone knots of "click, click" in my ears endlessly, and the four piles of white bones around the old man suddenly began to tremble.
Then, I saw that their bodies immediately changed drastically, like transformers, constantly twisting and stretching, and they quickly turned into human shapes, standing around the old man.
These four piles of white bones changed into extremely strange human shapes, they were all skinny, and they looked like a skeleton, but their heads had complete flesh and facial features.
With the bright light of the fire in the hall, I realized that the four humanoid monsters were not skeletons in the true sense of the word. Let's pick up the book
They had intact skin all over their bodies, but the bones were affected by some force, and they actually grew on the outside of the skin, as if they were wearing a pair of white bone armor.
Each monster was about 1.7 meters tall, standing upright, with pale skin on its face, as if it had just been fished out of the water, a pair of scarlet eyes gushing with spurting breath, and white smoke constantly coming out of its mouth with wheezing.
The fingertips and toes of the limbs were full of something like a bone spur, like a fingernail. It was covered in a brown mist, hazy.
The earthy smell and faint smell of decay in the air gradually became turbulent, which was clearly the smell of corpses!
I couldn't believe my eyes, these four strange-looking humanoid monsters in front of me instantly reminded me of the flying zombie recorded in the parchment scroll "Records of the Boundary"!
In the "Vertical Boundary Record", zombies are divided into five types, namely: hairy stiffness, jumping stiffness, flying sky, copper skin, and immortal bones (魃).
Zombies are the most rudimentary zombies and the most common. Removing the special situation of being bewitched by spirits, under natural conditions, if the habitat is rich in food and accumulated over the years, the hair stiff can fade after three years and evolve into a jumping stiff.
Jumping stiff can jump in the air, the power is infinite, it is already a relatively difficult variety, and the flying sky above it is its upgraded version, which is even more exaggerated.
According to records, the Flying Zombie could not be formed naturally, and it required the corpse keeper to use the secret forbidden technique to cultivate for several years before it could be practiced.
The original text in the "Vertical Boundary Record" said that this thing "has introverted skin and flesh and turns outward, strange speed and intangible, and infinite force." Thirty years of flesh turned into bones and bones and skin, knives and guns are difficult to enter, water and fire do not invade, and the tunnel is called copper. ”
It is not difficult to see that this kind of zombie is an alternative among the alternatives, it has departed from the clumsy state of ordinary zombies that rely only on brute force, and it is to win with speed, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
I had never seen this kind of thing before, and I thought it was a mysterious legend, but I never thought that it really existed, and it was still close at hand.
It's just that the record says that because it is a high-level zombie, the eyes of this thing are indiscriminately white, and they are no different from normal humans.
But these four monsters all have a pair of blood-red eyes, and I don't know if it is the result of evolution or the product of the special geographical location of this place.
Before I could figure it out, the bald old man shouted again, and the four flying stiff bodies spun like four white shadows, and they rushed towards us at a rapid speed.
They don't roar like ordinary zombies, they are silent like ghosts, and they are unimaginably fast, and they have killed everyone in an instant.
I shouted to be careful, and held the hilt of the sword horizontally with my backhand, a stinging pain in my palm, and the blade of the strange sword instantly drilled out, and at the same time stepped on the Tianxuan step forward, and the tip of the sword was wrapped in black and red light, and stabbed at the chest of a flying stiff person in front of me!
The flying stiff didn't seem to see me, his body shook, like a shadow, and in a blink of an eye, he avoided the edge of my sword, and he didn't fight back, and he galloped towards the fat man behind me.
When I saw that I missed the stab, I reacted quickly enough, and my wrist flipped suddenly, pulled out a sword flower that was not beautiful but practical, and raised my hand to slash at the back of the flying stiff.
I heard a "bang", and my sword didn't even hit, but fell on the heel of the monster, and slashed on the ground under my feet, and the stone chips flew wildly......
