Chapter 35: The Great Day of Death
"This dragon is so cunning that he wants to break the three of us apart. ”
"He's not breaking each other, he's going to send us all to the Yellow Springs with a single sweep, he's playing a pre-dinner game with his plate. ”
"It's just disgusting!"
Zilu and Xiaobu watched as the fog grew thicker and thicker, and there was no way to take a step forward.
"In this way, we strung them together with ropes. ”
Xiaobu untied the belt he was wearing on his body, and tied one end to Zilu's waist and the other end to his own waist.
"So that you are not afraid of getting separated. ”
The fog is getting more and more exaggerated, and the little places in front of the heels are completely unclear, and it is a little difficult to even open the eyes.
"Zilu, you have to follow me. ”
The little steps were already starting to be a little unsteady under their feet, and they staggered forward to explore, and they didn't know where they were going.
"Xiaobu, I feel a little nauseous and want to vomit. ”
"Would you like to take a break?"
"No, we have to find Yan Ruoqin quickly! the longer we delay, the more dangerous he will be. ”
"Good!"
Xiaobu and Zilu continued to endure the discomfort churning in their stomachs and walked forward.
"If you can't hold on, tell me. ”
Xiaobu frowned and walked forward with difficulty.
"Yan Ruoqin!
Xiaobu whispered their names, but there was no response in the woods where they couldn't see the road ahead.
"If this continues, we probably won't be able to hold it anymore. “
The mist suddenly came in with a puff of green smoke from the outside, as if a glass cover was covering them, desperately pouring smoke into it.
"Damn, could it be that this dragon has evolved in IQ and led me here, is it a trap he put on me?"
Yan Ruoqin walked alone in this fog, and couldn't find the whereabouts of the little beast at all, and since he heard the scream of the little beast and ran out, he never heard the slightest sound related to the little beast.
The fog completely covered the day, and it was impossible to tell how long it had been.
Xiaobu suddenly felt that the rope around his waist was much looser, and he pulled the rope around his waist.
"Not good!"
I don't know when this rope broke, and Xiaobu hurriedly turned back to find Zilu.
"Zilu, Zilu!"
He had just shouted twice when Xiaobu suddenly heard a rapid gasp. After a while, the voice disappeared from Xiaobu's ears again.
"Zilu, is that you?"
Xiaobu was a little scared now. He crouched on the ground, hugging his knees.
"What are you doing here? Zilu!"
Yan Ruoqin suddenly appeared behind Xiao Bu and patted him on the shoulder, which really startled Xiao Bu.
"Zilu is gone, and I don't know when she got lost. ”
"The fog is so big, how can I find this!"
Yan Ruoqin and Xiao Bu were anxious, and they were dizzy for a while.
"This rope doesn't look like it's been cut, and if you look closely, the length of each strand of this rope is different. ”
"Yes!"
Xiaobu picked up the broken end of the rope and took a look. It is indeed as Yan Ruoqin said.
"Zilu shouldn't have gone far. ”
"How did you analyze it?"
Xiaobu looked at Yan Ruoqin curiously.
"First, this fog is thick, Zilu's stomach pain has not recovered, and she doesn't dare to take big strides forward, and second, this broken part is not cut off by someone, which means that she was not taken away, maybe she just touched a branch and the rope was broken. “
"But I didn't meet any branches or stones along the way, and I didn't have a chance to break the rope that was wrapped around my waist. “
"You're wrong, you're wrong for stretching the distance between the two of you too far, the length of the rope is too long, although Zilu is following your footsteps, the fan shape that the rope can cover, you can't predict it at all. The situation that Zilu encountered behind you is also something you can't predict. ”
Yan Ruoqin analyzed this, and the small steps suddenly opened.
"Gee, how did I make this rope so long. What a mistake. “
Small steps pat the head. Suddenly, I saw something suspected to be a copper coin grass in the grass at my feet.
"Guess what I saw?"
"What?"
"Copper coin grass!"
Xiaobu picked a copper coin grass and shook it in front of Yan Ruoqin and said.
"This thing can represent good luck!"
Yan Ruoqin was confused.
"Big brother, when is this, let's find Zilu first! I really hope that good luck can be used on Zilu. ”
Yan Ruoqin muttered in a low voice, and there was a meaning of blaming Xiaobu in his words.
But the more I walked towards this copper coin meadow, the more I felt that something was wrong.
"Why are there more and more copper money grasses!"
"yes, what's all of it?"
Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu walked and walked, and the copper coin grass at his feet was nearly one person high.
Like peeling off a cocoon, the dense fog that could not be dissolved dissipated with the wind after a while.
What was presented in front of Xiaobu and Yan Ruoqin was a grotesque and rugged city, not a little angry, but this symbolized the prosperity and joy of the lucky copper coin grass.
"Why is this place so eerie!"
Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu seemed to be led here in the dark, there was no one around the city, the moon was high, and it was already late at night when the thick fog dissipated.
"This bone is so big, it shouldn't be an elephant's. ”
"I don't think it's a giant unknown creature. ”
Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu continued to walk forward, and in front of them was the city.
Xiao Bu looked at the rib-like bones of this almost giant creature almost as high as half a city, and the complete skeleton could just wrap the entire city, and the hollowed-out giant beast skull was nailed to the middle of the city, like a totem of the entire city-state.
"What day is it?"
"What day?"
Yan Ruoqin didn't understand what Xiao Bu said. Rhetorical question.
Xiaobu simply pinched his fingers.
"Today is a lunar day. If I'm not mistaken, the moon hangs high, and the shadow is directly behind us, so it should be cloudy. ”
"Could it be that the psychic old man said that the day is the day of death?"
"It's today!"
"So! The dragon separates the three of us?!"
"Oh no! it's Zilu!"
"Zilu is in danger!"
The two of them suddenly realized that the evil dragon deliberately transferred the three of them away from the mountain in order to kidnap Zilu!
"This smoke!"
Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu watched as a wisp of black smoke lit above the city in the distance, and a fire flashed around the pitch black.
The fire was particularly bright in the moonlight, illuminating the ghosts of the entire city shrouded in bones.
"Is it an altar?"
Yan Ruoqin looked at it, the cinnamon branch erected on this city, and the person lying on the laurel branch, was Zilu!
"Zilu!"
Xiaobu and Yan Ruoqin whispered, their eyes full of remorse and urgency, and they ran towards the altar at a speed of 100 meters, and they were already unconscious under their feet.
"Zilu, wait for me!"
"Hold on!"
The presiding priest on the altar walked around in front of Zilu again and again, and his mouth was full of words. Each of the clansmen wearing three skulls stood neatly in front of the altar in deerskin coats, shaking their heads in the same direction. From time to time, he also took out some unknown powder from his hand and threw it towards Zilu in the altar, and Zilu, who was sprinkled with powder, seemed to have lost her ability to move, and was restrained in the middle of the altar and couldn't move.
Although there was no rope on her body, Zilu seemed to be tied by an invisible rope, binding her hands and feet, and she couldn't even shout.
Yan Ruoqin looked at the totems of the three skulls and skeletons on this altar, and his heart tightened. Jing Wushuang also had such a skull skeleton.
"Isn't it? Could it be that we have come to the mysterious tribe of Jing at the foot of Mount Sibinu?"
"Yan Ruoqin, now is not the time to think about this! hurry up and think about how to save Zilu!"
Xiao Bu dragged Yan Ruoqin, who was in a trance, to the altar.
"I heard the master once say that there was a mysterious tribe at this time, they occupied the city of the Heli people, and took it for themselves, and then the southern and northern wars got the magic weapon to defeat the giant rhino, I think the bones shrouded in the city should be the bones of the legendary giant rhino, they hung the skull of the giant rhino in the middle in order to prove their strength and achievements. With this skull, they don't have to do anything about conquering the city. But they later became obsessed with how to make the clan immortal, maybe it couldn't solve the population problem of inheritance, I heard the master say that they searched for the whereabouts of the son of pure yang in the city of the emperor of war several times. “
"Son of Pure Yang, then now, are they going to sacrifice Zilu to the sky as the son of Pure Yang?"
"I really didn't expect it, after looking for so long, it didn't take much effort to come in the end!"
I don't know who was talking on the altar, Yan Ruoqin and Xiaobu hid under the altar and eavesdropped.
"It's been a long time since anyone broke into this no-man's land, and the last one to sacrifice to the gods was a cripple!"
"It's a pity that this flower-like beauty sacrifices to the sky, but there is no way, this beauty has its own spiritual power, and it is a pity not to sacrifice geniuses. ”
"This sacrifice can be managed for ten years of immortality!"
"The clansmen are saved, saved!"
"If you can't find the son of pure yang, it's good to sacrifice a fox. “
The priest on this altar is ready to slide the stick in his hand and light the fire.
"Wait!"
Yan Ruoqin jumped out from under the altar, stood in front of the sacrifice, and snatched the wooden stick from his hand.
"My woman, can you sacrifice to heaven if you want to?"
Yan Ruoqin peeked at Jing Wushuang's location from the bottom of his eyes, among all the sacrificers, only his skull and skeleton were two, even if he covered half of his face, Yan Ruoqin could easily recognize it.
"Yan Ruoqin!"
Xiaobu also jumped up, glanced at Zilu lying on the pyre, and quickly helped her up. The invisible rope trapped her, and she couldn't untie it, so she just took a handful of small steps to hold Zilu in her arms.
Two men who fell from the sky rescued Zilu.
"Today, none of you want to sacrifice!"
Yan Ruoqin picked up a large machete-shaped giant rhinoceros skull on the ground and protected it in front of Xiaobu and Zilu.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Yan Ruoqin glanced at Zilu tenderly. Then he glanced sharply at the people in the sacrifice, and paused in the direction of Jing Wushuang.
Jing Wushuang covered his veil and hung his head.
"Okay, good, three of them were sent at once, at least better than the lame, fence them for me, and all of them are sacrificed to the sky!"
Under the order of the sacrifice, a group of believers surrounded the three of them!
"You're forcing me to kill!" Yan Ruoqin took the bloodthirsty skull machete and slashed it on the ground, rubbing it into a blue fire.
