Chapter 113: Monsters
This village is much bigger than I imagined, and according to estimates, Yang Feng and I should be in the center of the whole village at this moment.
In the center of the village, there is a square stone platform made of bluestone.
There is a fallen humanoid stone statue on the stone platform.
The statue is huge, at least about four or five times larger than the average person.
In addition to the statue, there is also a rectangular Si Ding, which looks like an incense burner, which was used for worship in ancient times.
If my guess is correct, this stone altar is supposed to be an altar, and the stone man is most likely the ancestor of the tribe, or a god of spiritual worship.
The face of the stone statue is blurred, and it is wearing armor and holding a war in its hand, because no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the whole stone sculpture is covered with a thick layer of moss.
As I got closer, I noticed that the statue was still wrapped in several large iron chains, one end of which was attached to a pillar at the corner of the square stone platform.
Because the chains have been covered with thick dust, if you don't look closely, you will think that they are the rhizomes of the surrounding trees.
The stone statue of this man was chained to the altar, and it seems that his previous guess was wrong, if it was a god or ancestor revered by the tribe living here, how could it be chained?
Scraping the moss dust off the surface of the chain, it was found that there were many indentations on the surface of the chain.
Seeing the dent, my pupils suddenly contracted, and I immediately remembered the golden python that had been chained in the water prison under the underground burial lake. And the chain that locks the python is almost exactly the same as the chain that locks the stone statue in front of you.
"Could it be...... Who once lived here, is it really a Gaoshan people? ”
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pulled Yang Feng to hurriedly retreat, away from the stone statue.
"Why don't we go over?"
Yang Feng was puzzled and asked me suspiciously.
I smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know, I once saw this kind of iron chain locking a stone python before, and then the python was resurrected, and I was almost swallowed by it." ”
"Are you afraid that this statue will also be resurrected?" Yang Feng was puzzled and asked again.
"Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, for the sake of safety, let's go around this stone altar."
Yang Feng naturally has no opinion on my words.
At that moment, I took Yang Feng around the altar and through the ruins of the roof beams, and when I rested during the period, I found several blood-sucking mountain strangers on my body.
After about half an hour of walking, the trees in front of me were getting more and more water, and some of them had turned into a swamp. Fortunately, the roots and stems of the trees around us were intertwined, so we could climb up from the roots even if we accidentally got stuck in the mud.
It's just that in this way, we move much slower.
Finally walked out of the scope of the stone house village, there was no gravel around, and the sky had begun to darken slightly, and the time of the day passed unconsciously.
Fortunately, although the environment here is complicated, we have not encountered any dangers, let alone terrible things.
Soon after, we saw a second creature in this forest, in addition to the vampire mountain stranger.
It was a black poisonous bee that was as big as a thumb and made holes in trees.
A moment later, the sound of birds could be heard above the dense woods, and the occasional fluttering of leaves, but the figure could not be seen.
Unexpectedly, at dusk, this forest suddenly became alive.
In order to confirm the direction, I climbed to the top of a large tree to check before it was completely dark.
The big tree tens of meters high, it took a lot of effort to climb up, and after stabilizing his body, he looked around, and saw the terrifying towering giant tree in the distance at a glance.
We were traveling in the right direction, and we were very close to the tree.
Looking down from afar, I saw that the big tree was like a pillar piercing the sky, and its base and position, the huge and complex root system formed a huge soil slope.
Although it is not the first time I have seen it, it is still shocking to look at it at this time.
This tree is so big that it is beyond human comprehension. I can't think of any other tree in the world that can grow so big, except for the legendary Fuso Sacred Tree that inhabits the golden crow tree.
Calm down, I estimated the distance, and it would probably take us a day to get close to the giant tree.
Now that it's starting to get dark, it's very dangerous to rush at night, and after a day's walking, I may be able to persevere, but Yang Feng can't persevere.
It seems that we will have to find a place to live for the night, and as for the rest, we will wait until dawn to make plans.
"I wonder if Lu Ji and they have reached the bottom of the giant tree?"
As I climbed down from the tree, I thought about it, and my mood began to get restless again.
Stepping on the ground, I told Yang Feng in detail about the current situation, and then the two continued to move forward.
It didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and I took out a flashlight from my backpack to illuminate it.
After an hour, we finally found a place to rest.
It was a tree hole more than three meters high, and the tree was hugged by four or five people, and I don't know how the tree hole was formed, but it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate two people.
As the sky gets darker, so does the temperature around you.
It was originally a hot day, but it suddenly turned into a cold winter wax moon, and even the hot air exhaled turned into frost and mist.
This huge temperature difference between day and night can be difficult to adapt to.
The two of them burrowed into the tree hole and found that the tree hole could accommodate two people without feeling crowded at all. In addition, to Yang Feng's delight, there was also dry grass in it, which was very warm.
My mood is different from Yang Feng's, because this tree hole looks like a nest of some kind of creature, and this creature is definitely not small.
One thing I remembered was that since this place was an isolated secret place and a primeval forest, there might be something strange to live in.
When I was a child, I heard stories from the older generation about man-bears, and they described them as monsters, clever and cunning, and specialized in catching children to eat.
Of course, this is just a horror story made up by the older generation in order to scare children and make them not run into the mountains, and its authenticity needs to be verified.
However, it is rumored that there was such a thing as a human-bear in their time, but in fact, the human-bear was a kind of simple-minded, large-scale beast with developed limbs, not cunning, and even very timid.
It inhabits dense forests and rarely intrudes into villages.
That being said, when I was innocent as a child, how do I know if what the adults say is true or false? Even now that I've grown up, there are still some shadows in my heart.
And this tree hole in front of me looks a lot like the legendary lair of man and bear, otherwise I really can't think of any creature that needs such a large tree hole as a habitat.
The inside of the tree hole was very warm, and Yang Feng, who had lost his memory, was like an innocent child, obviously not so worried.
After a day's journey, she looked tired, lay down in a nest of soft, soft withered grass, and fell into a deep sleep in a short time.
I wanted to beckon her to leave and find another place to rest, but when I saw her like this, the thought in my heart was dispelled at once.
Innocent people are the easiest to get happiness and satisfaction, at least not so many troubles. Sometimes when I look back, I was so happy when I was a child!
I sighed, put down my backpack, unfastened my whip, and sat down at the entrance to the cave.
The ghost boy was summoned by me and ordered him to keep a sentry nearby, and he cheered and ran up to the top of the tree.
Half an hour later, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and when I looked out through the hole in the tree, the branches and leaves were moving and whirring.
After a while, it suddenly rained.
At first, it was a drizzle, and at the end it poured down, thunder continued to explode in the sky, electric snakes streaked over, and the bright lights in the gloomy forest flickered, making it even more terrifying.
It's even colder at this time!
Smack, smack, smack、......
Tick! Tick......
The sound of rain on leaves and water droplets on the ground, combined with the occasional thunder and thunder, made it difficult for me to sleep.
And Yang Feng in the cave slept more sweetly, for most people, this kind of weather is the most suitable for sleeping.
Tightening my clothes, I lit a cigarette and smoked it.
Listening to the sound of the storm outside the tree hole, I shrank back into the hole to avoid getting wet from the rain.
Half an hour later, the rustling rain finally made me sleepy.
yawned, thinking that there was a ghost boy guarding outside, there should be no accidents, and even if there was an accident, the ghost boy would call the police to wake him up as soon as possible.
After I had no worries, I began to close my eyes and rest, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
I slept very deeply, and in the second half of the night, in a daze, I suddenly felt that my hands were wrapped in a wet, fluffy thing, and the thing was still moving.
I rolled over, then woke up and sat up in shock.
When I opened my eyes and looked out of the cave, I couldn't see anything in the dark.
At this time, there was a sudden thunderclap in the night sky.
Between the lightning and thunder, I saw a black and wet terrifying monster lying outside the cave, and its eyes were staring at me and Yang Feng in the cave.
Seeing this, my scalp immediately went numb, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
At that moment, the monster moved again, and then I saw a huge claw grabbing at me.
The situation is critical, and I can't think about why the ghost boy didn't call the police, and when I saw it stretching out its claws and grabbing it, I retracted it with the conditions to launch it.
But the tree hole is only such a large space, and Yang Feng is already inside, so I have already squeezed on Yang Feng as soon as I retreat.
Pressed by me, the latter rolled over in a daze, muttering something.
And the black claws were still grabbing at me.
At the last moment, I touched the mountain whip beside me, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I raised the mountain whip and pushed my claws aside while the other party had not yet exerted force.
Then he roared, drove the whip forward, and slammed his bow into the monster lying outside the cave.
Syllable!
Bang!
Before the other party could react, I bumped into him all at once.
The force of this collision is not trivial, the other party was lying outside the tree hole, and when I hit him, he immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
And I fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and hit a big tree to a stop.
Thanks to the water and dead leaves on the ground, and the tree holes are not high, this fall did not hurt the muscles and bones.
Quickly struggled to get up from the muddy and muddy ground, and when he looked up, he saw that the black monster was about to get up, and in the darkness, he only saw that the other party looked like a human, but his whole body was covered with hair, and he was by no means human.
The opportunity is rare, the opponent falls to the ground is the best time to attack, don't think about it at the moment, after two strides, he leaps forward, raises the whip in his hand, and smashes it down with all his strength......
