2 Chapter 72: The Swamp of Bones
After a long time, several vicious dogs slowly walked up to the old dog and spat out the contents of their mouths to the ground.
Looking at a few small pebbles on the ground that were still stained with blood, the old dog said slowly: "These are the cow treasures on the Minotaur's body, which have detoxification and healing effects, you can accept them for the time being, and wait for a while, and give you something together, which can be regarded as not indebted to each other." ”
After that, the old dog prophet jumped on the back of the three-headed dog, and the figures of the big and small quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that there were no dogs around, the third Zhang Guojie hammered Shi Yijian in the chest, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a sixth child, you are still hiding very deeply, tell me quickly, what secrets are still hidden in you, hurry up and confess honestly." ”
Shi Yijian was asked by him, and before he understood what was going on, he heard the second Fu Jitian speak: "The five immortals of fox yellow, white willow and gray can get three of them, in the Qimen rivers and lakes, I am afraid that only the sixth of our family can do it, and it is really worthy of being the successor of the new generation of the Yanling Shi family." ”
The eldest Sun Xiaobo answered: "In the Taoist Inheritance of Different Aspirations, there is a book about the Spirit Demon Control Array, and it is rumored that if you can gather all the five immortals and form the Five Elements Great Array, then you must not walk sideways." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all interested, and they all said that they wanted the boss to tell the story.
However, as soon as the seven brothers listened intently, they saw the old dog prophet hurrying to this side with a three-headed dog.
Looking at some fruits on the ground that were as dry as red dates, as well as a fruit that was as red as blood, crystal clear, and shaped like an egg, Shi Yijian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Prophet, what are these things?" ”
"These are the totem fruits on the totem tree, ten years of flowering and ten years of fruit, among which there are too many variables, tens of millions of flowers, can be formed, less than dozens, and can become dried fruits, less than ten, and finally can really become totem fruits, only a few or two."
The old dog paused and continued: "Despite this, anyone who can become a fruit can be regarded as lucky, although the dried fruits in front of you are not as valuable as the real totem fruits, but they can enhance the Yuan Shen, can quickly recover physical strength, and can help you travel thousands of miles a day." ”
Looking at a small pile of heavenly treasures on the ground, everyone was a little moved, but no one dared to reach out to take it, the bezoar was okay to say, but the totem fruit was the treasure of the evil dogs, after all, it was the treasure of the evil dogs, if they were all taken away, it would definitely be inappropriate.
The few people hesitated, so they asked the old dog about some things about the Bone Swamp and the Black Rock Mountain.
Inside this bone swamp, perennial miasma, there lives a group of ghost-eyed three-legged toads, as large as a calf, which can spew green venom, and once it is stained, it will slowly melt like a lit candle.
As for the Black Rock Mountain, it is even more dangerous, and it is full of bottomless karst caves.
There are hundreds of ghost-faced bats entrenched in the cave, although these ghost-faced bats have no venom, but they are extremely ferocious, once they smell blood, not to mention ordinary demon beasts, even ghost-eyed three-legged toads can be sucked by them until only a toad skin remains.
Seeing that everyone was still indifferent, the old dog picked up a dried fruit at random, spit it directly into his stomach, and then glanced at the three immortals beside him who were already drooling, and asked, "Such a good thing, do you three want to taste it?" ”
When the rat spirit heard this, he immediately jumped to the old dog's side and said flatteringly: "Yes, dried fruits, it's useless for a few of them to ask for it, it's the most suitable for us spirits, eating it can enhance the primordial spirit, which is just right for us." ”
As he spoke, it grabbed one with one claw, threw it at the two-headed snake and weasel, and then lowered its head and swallowed one directly.
After a while, the weasel, who was still a little lacking in energy, also became lively.
When everyone saw it, their spirits perked up, and they saw the third Zhang Guojie say with a hippie smile: "Since the prophet gave it to us, we don't accept it, it's a big disrespect." With that, he quietly pushed Shi Yijian, who was still stunned, with his hand.
Shi Yijian immediately understood, smiled, and said, "Yes, then we might as well be respectful." As he spoke, he directly picked up the rat essence and threw it away, packing all the totem fruits and bezoars.
After bidding farewell to the old dog prophet, the group continued on their way.
After passing through the Vicious Dog Ridge, the descent gradually began, and the terrain here slowly became flat and easy to walk on, with a wide view, and occasionally a few unknown birds flying out of the low trees.
All the way through the mountains and rivers, the sky has gradually darkened.
The seven brothers carried dozens of pounds of backpacks and drove for a day, and they were already sleepy and tired. So after discussion, it was decided to set up camp in a clearing with a wide view to replenish his strength.
After a busy time, I finally ate a bite of hot food.
Everyone sat around, drinking soup, smoking cigarettes, feeling a breeze blowing by, and the nervous and depressed mood was finally relieved after a full meal, and then they had the heart to blow water and chat, and tease each other.
I only heard the third Zhang Guojie exhale a long puff of smoke into the sky: "Eh, boss, the long night is a long sleepless sleep, the last time I was telling a story, I was interrupted by the old dog prophet, now, you have to continue the previous article." ”
When the eldest Sun Xiaobo heard this, he smiled: "Storytelling is not my specialty, inquiring about gossip is my interest. Now that the sixth child has his true biography, it is better to let everyone dig it up and expose his romantic deeds from childhood to adulthood one by one. ”
Shi Yijian smiled: "Where is it, there are three great immortals at the bottom of the box, I have seen them all for you, and I will have to rely on you to take care of them in the future." ”
The second Fu Jitian pushed Shi Yijian and said: "The seven families in the southeast, your Shi family is the deepest hidden, while there are all people now, you can quickly give us a show." ”
The fourth Fan Ming answered: "Yes, hurry up and perform one, the performance is good, after you go back, ask the third child to take you to eat and drink spicy food, sing songs every night, if you don't perform well enough, then our brothers will eat yours and live yours, so that you can taste what is the best friend." ”
Everyone agreed, Shi Yijian was pushed out in a burst of laughter, and he had no choice but to show his hand.
Just before everyone understood what was going on, they saw Shi Yijian's eyes suddenly emit two strange green lights, and then his whole body was gradually shrouded in a mist. Gradually, layers of mist began to rise along with the place where everyone was squatting.
Where the mist spread, the six people instantly felt that they couldn't breathe, and hurriedly shouted to stop.
After the fog dissipated, Shi Yijian was already tired and out of breath, and he lay down on top of his rucksack.
Everyone was from the Qimen, and they vaguely felt that there seemed to be a trace of cold aura mixed with this mist, and they inevitably had a trace of doubt in their hearts.
When I asked the reason, I learned that the ancestor of the Shi family's ghost eyes still had a slight relationship with the Three Realms Ghost Domain.
While everyone sighed, they were also a little envious, jealous and hateful.
Although the seven brothers kept talking and had no intention of sleeping, they had a long way to go, and only by sleeping could they recover their strength well and deal with the unknown variables that followed.
After letting the three immortals take charge of the vigilance, the seven-person team fell asleep with their heads covered by the sky and the ground.
Watching his companions snoring one by one, Shi Yijian was sleeping, so he took out a photo of his girlfriend from his bag and looked at it carefully. When this love is strong, although it has only been a few days, it seems to be every three autumns. Li Tong's smile in his mind seemed so cute.
Xu Zheng beside him seemed to have something on his mind, and he couldn't sleep either, he looked at the photo in Shi Yijian's hand, and whispered: "Sixth brother, smiling, what are you looking at?" ”
When Shi Yijian heard this, he quickly put away the photo and replied: "Little brat, hurry up and go to sleep, otherwise I will beat your ass." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, so they looked at the red moon in the sky in unison, which had become full and shiny.
Inadvertently, a trace of soft light from the red moon shot into Shi Yijian's eyes, which seemed to resonate.
He couldn't help but think of the scene when the third prince took him to the roof of the building to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to the bright moon, and his heart moved, why not use the ghost eye to try to absorb the essence of heaven and earth from the red moon in this world.
Thinking of this, Shi Yijian walked to a stone ten meters away, sat cross-legged, looked up at the red moon, and the moment he stared at each other, a trace of red light visible to the naked eye penetrated into his eyes, itchy, but he didn't feel any burning pain.
In this way, Shi Yijian sat there motionless, and I don't know how long it took, when he suddenly heard someone shouting his name.
Shi Yijian retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the crowd, and suddenly there was a click in his neck, and it hurt so much that he hurriedly reached out to massage his neck to soothe his muscles and bones.
At this time, the sky has faintly broken down.
Shi Yijian responded, stood up, and blinked, but except for feeling a little dry, it didn't seem to be anything unusual.
He patted the dust on his buttocks, stretched his waist, took back the three immortals standing guard, packed his bags, and set off towards the bone swamp with everyone.
Although the distance between the Bone Swamp and the Vicious Dog Ridge was long, the terrain here was flat and slowly sloping downward, and the Seven Brothers hardly felt much effort all the way down.
Three days later, the seven-man team finally reached the edge of the bone swamp when the red moon was dim and the sky was bright.
Unlike the swamps they imagined, the swamps of the human world are generally well-watered areas that are heavily covered by low plants such as weeds and mosses.
But the swampy land here is a little dry and cracked, and walking on it is like walking in a field after the autumn harvest.
Above the unobstructed plains, you can occasionally see a very peculiar kind of low trees, which have thick trunks and leafy branches.
The trunks and branches of the trees were covered with dense roots, which were intertwined with each other in piles and reached into the ground.
The eldest Sun Xiaobo looked at the map in his hand and said: "This is the swamp of bones, don't look at the dry land here, the deeper you go, the more sparse the road under your feet becomes." In the depths of the swamp, except for the ground around the trees, which is mostly yellow and black mud, we can only surround these trees when the time comes. ”
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the rustling sound of the collision of branches immediately sounded in my ears, as if to warn the seven people of demonstration.
