Chapter Ninety-Four: The Headless Witch
"That's right! According to Wei Baozhu, in order to protect the people in the village from being harmed by those sheep-headed people who 'did not wake up', which is what they called Kunwusa, the statues of those lion fish women were used to prevent those sheep-headed people, and the fundamental means of prevention were those purple gems called 'purple cloud star stones'. It seems that the statues here, like those in the fringe villages, should be like this. Bai Yunfei guessed in an affirmative tone.
"Then what is this big statue, the statue of the monster with sheep's brains?" Niu Gang asked.
"It's completely impossible." Bai Yunfei flatly denied: "The statues and the Purple Cloud Star Stone are used to prevent them, how can they be made into statues?" Is this to guard against them or to praise them? And I think that maybe Yulan and us had an abnormal headache just now, and even had a hallucination of fear, all of which were caused by these purple cloud star stones. β
"Is this stone so powerful? What is it made of? Lu Wuyang was instantly interested, these are his favorites.
"I can't say that, this is probably the place where you have the most knowledge of kinds of materials, and if you can't even talk about it, we can't do anything about it. However, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, the statues of the lion fish women we saw in the edge village at that time only had a purple cloud star stone on each body, but there were too many purple cloud star stones on this giant statue, it was like putting on a piece of clothing, how could this be, wouldn't this be a waste? β
"Why did Yunfei say that?" Cao Longxuan asked.
"According to my guess, this gemstone may be an extraterrestrial meteorite, which was collected by the ancients. This meteorite has a strong radiation effect, if the number is small, we humans are not sensitive to its reaction, but the sheep-headed people who have been specially bred are different, they are naturally very sensitive, so they dare not enter the edge village, it is estimated that they are too smart later, driving those mutants with low intelligence, the statue of the lion fish woman in the edge village was destroyed, so that they were able to successfully capture the village and destroy the remaining human beings there. β
Bai Yunfei pointed to his brain and continued: "But I estimate that if this kind of alien meteorite accumulates together to a certain amount, it will double its radiation function, or mysterious energy, so when we are in that statue in the edge village, we can't feel anything, after all, there is only a small one, but here, there are so many on this giant statue, it can not only affect the sheep-headed man who is naturally a hundred times more sensitive than humans, but can completely disturb people's nervous system and make people hallucinate." β
After Bai Yunfei explained, not to mention others, even the usually taciturn Wang Ziming gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Yunfei, your analytical ability is beyond the reach of the great detective Sherlock Holmes!" β
Receiving the praise of others, everyone was happy, Bai Yunfei continued to talk about his guess, and moved his steps forward, and everyone subconsciously followed him, staring at the mysterious and tall statue in the hazy night.
At this moment, Bai Yunfei first showed an abnormal appearance, and he was moving slowly along the edge of the cliff, and when he approached the huge statue as he spoke, he suddenly began
Gibberish is no longer a clear language of analysis.
And his eyes were blood-red, his expression was hideous, and at the same time he was terrified, and he began to wave his arms wildly.
The people who followed him also began to feel the unbearable headache again, and immediately realized that they had broken into the area of effect of this purple cloud star stone, and several people grabbed Bai Yunfei hard, pulled him back, and hurriedly retreated.
"Yunfei, are you affected again?" Li Yulan asked worriedly.
"......Forehead" Bai Yunfei shook his head, rubbed his temples vigorously with his hands, and then said: "It should be that I broke into the forbidden area by mistake again, and I hallucinated, I just unknowingly, I saw an evil phantom floating in the dark night, it seems to be a banshee with a snake body, extremely evil and terrifying, too scary!" Whewβ"
Only then did everyone realize that it seemed that Bai Yunfei's judgment was indeed correct, that Ziyun Xingshi was really domineering, so it was better to withdraw it first.
Everyone saw that Bai Yunfei was fine, so they discussed it, and felt that it was already late at night, this Wei Wang Valley was strange and inexplicable, full of dangers, everyone continued to fight, and they were more tired, if they continued to act, it would be inappropriate, and they should find a relatively safe place to rest.
In the end, it was decided to go back to the exit of the earthquake crack and spend the night in the cave to be relatively safe, after all, mutant creatures are rampant in this Wei King Valley, and all kinds of strange and evil things happen from time to time, so it is relatively safe to stay in the crack and spend the night.
Everyone returned to the exit of the earthquake crack, the charred dead trees were still quietly lying at the mouth of the crack, and there were only two remnants left in the fire, Bai Yunfei asked everyone to scatter the burned charcoal and soot in the crack and outside the hole, the wild creatures were basically reluctant to touch these things, and they could basically avoid the attack of some creatures.
After all this work, everyone already feels hungry, but there is no food in the bag, where can we solve the food ration problem?
At this time, everyone looked at Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang, although these two people were not as experienced as the "expert" Su Lao Ghost in tomb robbing, but if they were compared to surviving in the field, it was the specialty of the two who were born in special forces.
Field survival in the troops, toads, field mice, poisonous snakes...... Anything can be delicious.
"There is a difference between hunting at night and during the day, but if you want to catch your prey, you have to prepare first, and now we are wandering in the forest, and the harvest is certainly not ideal, but we can find some wild fruits to taste first, and then try our luck."
Bai Yunfei said.
So Li Yulan, Su Laogui and Han Debang were left behind in the "camp", and the others began to form a team to find food.
Their efforts to find food were not in vain, and in the rainforest on the left side of the crack where Bai Yunfei had relieved them earlier, they found a few wild banana trees, and the bananas on the trees were sweet and tempting, and everyone was thirsty.
Here you can hear the sound of running water under the steep slope, and everyone discussed going down to drink water, and by the way, put some in the plastic bag left in the backpack and keep it for later use.
When we were fetching water, we unexpectedly found that the stream was full of fish, and we were surprised by everyone's torches, and the shallow stream water
The surface of the water immediately made a chaotic splash.
The truth broke through the iron shoes and found nowhere to be found, and it took no effort to get it, and the people who had eaten bananas alone threw themselves into the stream with joy, and caught a fish, which can be said to be very fruitful.
Back at the mouth of the earthquake crack on the slope, Su Laogui and Han Debang, who were guarding the "home", saw the "meat vegetables" and bananas, and were so surprised that they hugged each other and kissed each other on the face, and then pushed each other away in disgust, and each spat heavily on the ground: "Phew! Then he ignited the broken trunks of the dead trees and began to grill the fish.
The members of the "Eight Immortals" expedition team were finally able to feast on their heart's content, and then they guarded the bonfire at the entrance of the cave and fell asleep.
Before going to bed, Li Yulan used the fish oil from the fish viscera to smear Bai Yunfei's scarred skin, although after so long, those wounds had already formed blood scabs, Bai Yunfei didn't care at all, but she firmly disagreed, saying that it was to prevent his skin from becoming inflamed, so fish oil was used to form a protective film to isolate bacteria.
The night was peaceful, there were no strange or dangerous things, and everyone woke up one after another, feeling more energetic.
Bai Yunfei arranged for everyone to go to the small rainforest at the bottom of the slope on the left side to eat some bananas for "breakfast", and then go to the stream at the bottom of the slope to catch some fish, return to the entrance of the cave, pick up some dry firewood around, bake the fish, divide some for each person, and then distribute the clean stream water in plastic bags to everyone.
Then, he straightened up his tattered clothes and pointed to the rainforest down the slope on the right: "Let's go, guys, that huge statue doesn't stand there for no reason, it must have its value, let's see what the hell is going on." β
To be cautious, the group bypassed the small bushes in front of the rainforest, went straight to the cliff, slowly moved along the cliff, and was prepared to retreat if they had a headache.
I didn't go far from the edge of the cliff when I heard Bai Yunfei say: "What I said, why did I see its outline very strange in the dark night last night, it turned out to be a missing head." β
Everyone also saw that the huge statue was originally a snake-body witch-shaped design, but the sinuous snake body and snake tail were entrenched at the bottom of the valley under the cliff, and only the witch's body was left on the upper body, and the huge head with a strange smile in the beauty had fallen to the bottom of the valley, revealing the neck cavity hole of the black hole, which was very weird, and her head was half buried in the gravel and dirt beside the snake in a reclining position, opening her mouth with sharp fangs, smiling evilly, and it was very uncomfortable to look at.
And the hands of this snake-bodied witch are crossed at the waist with her left hand, her right arm is stretched out, her four fingers are curled up, and only her index finger is stretched out and pointing forward.
And this huge, weird witch is facing the direction of the cliff, so her pointing, naturally, is also pointing to the cliff, but because everyone is standing on the top of the cliff, and this cliff is still a hat-brim protruding situation, even if you lie on the edge of the cliff, you can't see the situation below.
"Quick, let's go back quickly, go down the steep slope where we went down the stream to draw water and fish, and go around from below to the statue of the witch, and see what she is pointing at
What's on the cliff. β
Bai Yunfei hurriedly beckoned everyone to act, and after a pause, he continued: "I have a hunch that there may be something new to discover. β
When everyone heard this, they were extremely excited, and they all rushed down the steep slope non-stop.
Eight men carried their knapsacks along the stream, and the abundance of fish could no longer attract everyone's attention, and after a while of the water, they stepped on a pebble beach by the bay, and looked back, and found that the stream actually flowed down from the top of the hill from the far side of the steep slope from which they had come down, and overflowed over the cliff and fell into the rocky beach, forming a waterfall with a small stream.
The cliff in front of me, though steep, was not the part of the brim that stood out from above, and the surface was full of mud and weeds and low shrubs growing in the dirt.
Everyone continued along the river beach, and the sheltered corner in front of them was finally bypassed, and the eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw a bare and steep cliff stone wall standing in front of me like a knife, making people look up.
And the huge statue of the snake witch with a ten-story height stood in front of the cliff, and the snake body meandered into the mountain, giving people the feeling that the witch with the severed head and snake body was drilled out of the mountain.
Her head fell strangely in front of her, her mouth wide open, her fangs sharp, her smirk slanking, her eyes looking at the cliff facing the statue, and her right hand pointing straight at the bare cliff.
"Be careful, don't get too close." Bai Yunfei, who had suffered hardships, cautiously reminded everyone.
Then he said in an affirmative tone, "You see, the direction of one of the snake-body witch's arms, and the direction in which her strange smile and mysterious eyes are looking, are all the same, as if to show people something. This witch statue must point to some secret! β
