Chapter 95: The Weakness of the Stone Fetus
This scene is so amazing, I see Lao Huang can't make any sound with his mouth open, if it doesn't bite, I really want to go up and touch it, to see what the place where it comes into contact with the stone wall is like, whether it is soft or hard.
No wonder Brother Shen said that the jade walks in a straight line, it doesn't need to go through the cave at all, it can directly pass through the wall and cross the wall, and the impossible I imagined before turned out to be true.
"What the hell is a stone fetus?" Lao Huang asked.
"A spirit born in a stone, this is a myth, isn't Sun Wukong a stone fetus, I didn't expect it to really exist, it seems that novels are sometimes not necessarily fake, imagination comes from life."
I don't know what to say, this stone fetus is completely different from Sun Wukong, it is a terrifying creature that can bite people in reality, I don't know how long it has been living here, it is a kind of spirit generated between heaven and earth, maybe even older than this ancient tomb, the person who built the tomb may have seen it.
"I'm just guessing, it's hard to say what it is, and it could be something artificial." Ah Chuan added.
Who could have created this unique creature? Only nature can have such a miracle.
It all happened so suddenly, I completely left the jade behind, and now that I think about it, I can't see the jade anymore.
The stone tire was beaten into the cave wall, and the jade also disappeared into it, it only exposed most of its head, and its body was almost completely embedded in it, I felt a panic, its body could melt into the stone wall, but the jade could not, it was likely to have smashed the jade just now.
Even if it's not broken, it's embedded in the stone wall, how can we get it? If it weren't for this stone tire, it could have been dug and chiseled, and it wouldn't have been there watching us smash its body.
I was terrified of its strange mouth, its head tilted at such an angle that it seemed to have only a thin layer of skin attached to it, and its body was so small, but it was like a bottomless pit that could swallow everything.
No wonder Ah Chuan didn't use the armor, he must have had concerns, this unknown creature is best not to be easily tempted, if something really happens, it will be too late to regret it, its body can be soft or hard, the armor is likely to get into it and never get out again, and it will definitely die if it is sealed in a stone.
"What about jade?"
I turned my head to look at Brother Shen, obviously he didn't know, but I just subconsciously felt that he could do everything.
Brother Shen shook his head, Lao Huang reached out and pulled me next to me, I quickly turned my head, and saw that the stone fetus moved.
It was moving slowly, as if it were showing us, and it grinned again, and the smile grew more and more eerie, and it slowly sank into the stone wall, as if mocking our powerlessness.
I'm even more panicked, if it escapes, it can pass through the wall, we can't catch up anyway, the underground space here is extremely vast, it can hide in the stone wall for hundreds or thousands of years, I don't think the stone will die.
Brother Shen moved, he quickly stepped forward, and even reached out directly to pinch its head, I saw that his hands were full of green tendons, and the fingers that were in contact with the stone tire were also bloody, and he was pulling the stone tire out with all his might.
I looked at him dumbfounded, he used his hand directly, and he was not afraid that the stone fetus would show its fangs again, the fall of the stone fetus stopped, it seemed to be really pulled by the god brother, and it didn't open its mouth to bite him, the god brother pinched its head, it can open its mouth, but it can't make the head disappear.
"Hehe, just take out the jade, do you think no one can cure you?" Ah Chuan leaned forward and smiled cheaply, as if he was the one who pulled the stone tire.
I watched Brother Shen's hand in a daze, I was worried that the stone fetus would suddenly appear in that state of dissolution, melting Brother Shen's hand in it, but it didn't.
Ah Chuan's eyes bent, he showed a look of sudden realization, the armor on his hand raised his head in an instant, and I saw that the face of the stone tire was deformed, as if he was afraid.
"I see, your body can be shaped, but it can't melt into things, you'll die, right?" There was a clear threat in Ah Chuan's words.
The anxiety and panic disappeared in an instant, and I felt a strange emotion in my heart, and I wanted to laugh a little, the stone fetus was terrible, and once I caught its weakness, it would be nothing.
The stone fetus did not move, there was a panic in its white eyes, its eyes were slowly turning to the armor, it seemed to understand, I saw it stretch out its little hand from the stone wall little by little, holding the jade in its hand.
When I got closer, I saw that its hand really filled all the patterns of the jade, and it could never pull it out, and it took out the jade, and it compromised.
Its little hand let go, and the jade fell into Ah Chuan's palm, and Brother Shen let go, and I saw that its face showed a resentful look for a moment, and it quickly regained its expressionless face like a stone carving, and its speed became faster, as if it was afraid of being caught again, and it disappeared into the stone wall almost in the blink of an eye, and it was never seen again.
The stone wall changed back to its original state, there was no trace of anything getting in, Lao Huang couldn't help but raise his hand to touch it, and his mouth was amazed: "It's really a god." ”
I also touched it, and I thought it still had a soft touch, but no, it was hard, it was a real stone wall.
If it is barely explained scientifically, it can be understood as the interlacing of atoms, leaving a large gap around each atom, which will not disperse by gravity, and it is likely that it has the ability to control the gravitational force between atoms in order to pass through the middle.
If this is the case, it is understandable that something will die if it is fused into the body, it will not be able to completely restore the structure of the body, and the arrangement of the atoms will not change its original properties, but it is a thinking and living thing, and it is difficult to say what impact it will have.
But one thing doesn't make sense, if it melts itself, it can't bring jade into the stone wall, I can only understand that it can turn things that come into contact with the body into that strange state, this is all my conjecture, no one knows what the principle is.
The temperature in the cave seems to have risen slightly, and the water under your feet is not as cold as it was just now, as if nothing had happened here.
I still had the last look in front of my eyes, that ghostly look of resentment that shouldn't have been on a baby's face, I felt like I was breathing sluggishly, and I didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to let it go.
It seems that everyone didn't notice that scene, their minds were all on the jade, and I don't want to say that what should come will always come, and I can't plant the seeds of fear for everyone.
"It's a pity, maybe there is only one thing in the world, and it will be of great use if it can be subdued." Ah Chuan looked regretful.
They must have collected a lot of strange things, and only when they see more can they understand more, and I can't imagine what use this stone fetus can be, but it is very convenient to steal things.
Ah Chuan casually gave the jade to Brother Shen, and Brother Shen took out the previous piece and handed it to me together, I was stunned for a moment and didn't take it.
"Take it." Lao Huang pushed me up next to me.
I don't want to take it, the jade is too unsafe in my hands, I'm the one who is the most injured now, if there is danger, the jade is likely to be lost again, I've brought so much trouble, I don't want to drag them back anymore.
"Hey, I'll take it for you, I can't stand your grinding the most."
Lao Huang grabbed the jade from Brother Shen's hand, stuffed it into my pocket, and gave me an inexplicable look.
Brother Shen began to lead the way again, he led us back from the original path, it seems that this cave does not lead to the tomb, we have entered the underground interlaced network, this place is completely natural, there is no trace of artificial excavation, we must be far from the tomb.
I didn't have a sense of direction, the terrain here was gentle, but I could tell from the current that it was going all the way down, and we were getting deeper and deeper into the ground, and it seemed that we were getting farther and farther away from the tomb.
The tomb is on a high place, and we will inevitably have to climb it, and I have to walk on the ground now, and I will have to wait for them when the time comes.
We walked a long way, and it seemed that we were back in the direction of the graveyard, which was full of forks in the road, and it only took a few hours to travel in a straight line, and it would take me several times as long as I could, and I was getting more and more overwhelmed, and the feeling of dizziness was lingering, and my vision was blurry, and my tinnitus could not be stopped.
We rested twice, Xiao Qi also helped me with a medicine, I couldn't notice the passage of time, just dragged my heels behind, the road was very peaceful, we didn't encounter any more abnormal situations.
The water in the cave was sometimes deep and shallow, but fortunately there was no place to dive, my pants were almost soaked, the wet fabric stuck to my skin, it was cold and uncomfortable, my dizziness was getting worse, and my feet were empty from time to time.
We've been walking for too long, I'm tired and sleepy, but these people don't seem to need to sleep, I twist my stiff neck to look at Lao Huang, who is also hobbling and panting like a cow.
His complexion was very bad, there were two big dark circles under his eyes, I couldn't help laughing, Lao Huang turned his head to look at me, stretched out his hand as if he wanted to skim me, but he felt that it was difficult, and his hand was raised halfway up and put it down.
Brother Shen stopped suddenly, he turned his head to look at the two of us, he didn't say anything, we must have looked very depressed, I felt like a father who was praising day by day, running towards an unattainable goal, and finally died of exhaustion.
"Daze, you are a national treasure now......" Lao Huang muttered weakly.
I can feel the huge bags under my eyes myself, and I feel warm in my heart when I look at Lao Huang, at least not that I am listless.
"The hole is dry, and we'll be on the way in six hours." Brother Shen stopped, and he was standing at a fork in the road.
Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi didn't object, they didn't seem to have changed much, but after walking for so long, even a robot should add some lube.
It was a small cave, it was dry, and a cool breeze carried the moisture in, it was wet and cold, and the bottom of the cave was uneven, so it was not a good place to rest.
