Chapter 385: Crystal Skull
"Hmm! No. Throwing away the citrine scales in his hand, Ma Shuo scratched his long hair.
It's February in the spring of 1511, and it's time for everything to come back to life. But the City of Truth is still the same, and silence and depression will always be the main theme here.
In the past three months, Ma Shuo has gradually promoted the search in the city, and has completely turned over nearly ninety percent of the area.
During this period, six kinds of things were also discovered—not ordinary animal organs and tissues, but gemstone crystals that resemble various colors.
Discovering such an obvious pattern saved him a lot of time in his subsequent search.
I just found the crimson beast pupil two hours ago, and now I have dug up a small box of jewels. It's a pity that the few gem scales inside are not the only ones he is looking for.
In addition to corpses, the most common thing in the City of Truth is money and jewelry, and even weapons made of rare metals can be turned out one or two every once in a while.
But no matter how valuable these things are, Ma Shuo won't need them at all now.
No matter how valuable the treasure is outside, it is not as precious as a handful of water in the City of Truth. In addition to ensuring that he eats and drinks Lazar, Ma Shuo spends all his time wandering around the city.
Lowering his head and glancing at the gold and silver jewels all over the ground, Ma Shuo turned around and left without hesitation.
It's a good thing to find a pattern, but finding one in more than two hours is a bit unrealistic for Ma Shuo himself.
Luck is not something that comes every day, so he took a deep breath and moved his shoulders: "Keep looking for it honestly!"
After speaking, he jumped up lightly after running with the force under his feet, turned over in the air and landed steadily, looked back at the two-meter remnant wall behind him and smiled.
Just as he was about to turn around and move on, he caught a glimpse of a reflection at the base of the wall.
"Huh?" The footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked back at the reflective place again, and Ma Shuo was involuntarily stunned.
Indigo scales?
Most of them were buried in the dust, and only a few of the tails were exposed.
The color was very inconspicuous in the shadows of the corners, and if he hadn't been standing at the right angle to see the scales reflecting the faint light of the opposite wall, he would have missed it completely.
Scales!
The word kept echoing in his head, and Ma Shuo quickly walked to the corner of the wall and squatted down, picking up the dust and picking up the scales, and suddenly felt a burst of warmth.
Spotlessly clean and crystal clear. Feel the touch of melting in your hand and throw it into your mouth without hesitation.
Closing his eyes and waiting for it to melt and swallow it in his stomach, Ma Shuo immediately sat down cross-legged and waited.
A feeling of fullness just came from the stomach, and then a boiling heat flowed through the body.
The body has been subjected to four heat flows, and not only is the heat gradually decreasing, but also the temperature has been adapted.
At first, it was necessary to use ice and snow to cool down, but now it can be carried by force.
"Uh-huh!" gritted his teeth, experience telling him it would be over soon. As the temperature reached its peak and disappeared instantly, it wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead and stood up.
I feel that the heat brought by the beast pupil has been reduced by more than thirty percent.
Since the golden beetle, the feeling of fullness in Ma Shuo's stomach has not subsided. The food in the package has not been eaten, and even the only small packet of salt left has not been opened.
But when you should be thirsty, you get thirsty, and that doesn't change.
After the heat completely dissipated, Ma Shuo got up and jumped lightly twice. Feeling that his body had not changed much, he continued to walk forward.
This time he became more cautious, and there was less than a tenth of the search range left. If he found nothing, Ma Shuo could only turn around and search again.
When night came, Ma Shuo also came to a road about 30 meters wide. It is the main road that runs through the center of the city and is the easternmost frontier.
While searching within a ruined wall, he faintly heard a beast roar in the distance.
"Xiong?" Ma Shuo raised his eyebrows, and immediately got up and looked out of the city: "Anger?"
Someone's coming!
With such a concept in his head, Ma Shuo immediately gave up looking for the skull, easily climbed over the broken wall with one hand support, and quickly ran towards the edge of the city.
I climbed up to the ruins of a small stone building in three or two, and listened carefully with bated breath.
"Huh!"
"Whew!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"Hey!"
Somebody was fighting a bear! And they were armed, but they weren't hot weapons!
With this concept in mind, Ma Shuo lightly jumped off the six-meter-high wall, turned around and went back to continue his search.
Anyway, these people can't get in, and even if they do, they'll die here.
On January 1st, the day of the Ten Thousand Beasts Festival, more than a dozen men and women came from the southwest, all dressed as soldiers of the Maple Leaf Country.
Ma Shuo watched them walk into the city and circle in place, less than two meters away from each other but shouted for help, and the others rolled on the ground and cried without turning a deaf ear.
Until three or four days later, one by one, they committed suicide in despair, or were accidentally killed by stray bullets. Ma Shuo didn't even blink his eyes, and sat leisurely on the wall reading the story.
It's a pity that I didn't pick some nut hazelnuts at that time, otherwise it would have been very enjoyable to eat while watching.
Now someone has come outside the city, and it is clear that they are here to die.
But Ma Shuo's attention now is all focused on finding the skull. These people blindly came to the City of Truth to die, and Ma Shuo had no way at all.
Even if there is a way, he is too lazy to care, and he is not idle and has nothing to do?
As soon as he had searched the yard, he heard the bear roar violently, and then it was completely silent.
Ma Shuo, who was returning to the main road, groped in the corner of the wall with his feet, nodded and smiled and said to himself: "Kill an adult bear in three minutes, no matter how big or small the size is, this person's strength is good!"
Then he sighed again: "I hope you don't go into the city!"
After the second and third places were searched, there had been no major movement outside the eastern city, which made Ma Shuo feel relieved.
Only the people of the North Sanker can come from the east, and the death of the Maple Leaf Country is dead. But Ma Shuo has a relationship with Bei Sanke after all, and Old Man Liu, An Ruihong, and even Shi Niang and Baron are good to him.
If this man enters the city, he doesn't know whether he should save him or not. If the other party asks him why he came here after being rescued, he can't explain it clearly, but he is asking for trouble.
Just when Ma Shuo was thinking wildly, he also searched a large pile of corpses and bones.
When he came to the fifth large courtyard, he saw a skull in the middle of the foundation of the wreckage of the main building.
When Ma Shuo was shocked by the huge and strange skull, he heard the voice of two men talking in the distance: "Danny, that kid hasn't come out for a few months, and he must have starved to death inside." Let's go back, don't wait!"
"No, Anhu. This kid must have important news about Xiaobai in his hands, if I can't wait for him tomorrow, I'll go in and find it myself!"
