Chapter 164: Killed
When I went to the mountain, I actually had a little doubt in my heart. Because although Hu Lao Liu said that it might be muddy, let alone muddy, now not a single drop of rain has fallen. It's even a rare cloudless sunny day.
Is it really possible to rain in this weather? Anyway, I'm observant and haven't seen it for a long time. But as if it was about to hit me in the face, after about five minutes, a huge thunderous roar began to be heard in the sky, which directly startled everyone.
"Master, it seems like it's really going to rain......" Pan Hu leaned over to my side and whispered, with a magical look on his face. It is estimated that Panhu and I think the same thing, and I don't think it will rain in this cloudless sky.
Gradually, the beautiful fairy-like glow was gradually covered by the dark clouds drifting from afar, like thick ink, and I was shocked to see the dark clouds that converged at a terrible speed and covered the entire sky.
Because, now, the celestial phenomenon is also very strange - the sky in the center of our group is covered with dark clouds, and the rest of the area is still a clear scene. If I didn't know that Hu Lao Liu was an ordinary person, I would have to wonder if he was a lich.
As long as the lich has this ability to call the wind and rain, I couldn't help but ask when I looked at this magical scene, why does it only rain in this area? Hu Lao Liu smiled lightly and said that this is a kind of spectacle that only happens on the White Mountains.
"Spectacle?"
Hu Lao Liu nodded, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the banyan forest in the south, our group of people are all new arrivals, so we may not be able to identify the branch in the middle of this white mountain, but it is easy for him.
The map of the entire White Mountains was already memorized in his own mind, and as long as he remembered these plants as the dividing line, he could divide the entire White Mountains by area. And the area where we are currently located is the area that Hu Lao Liu himself named "Yin Hai".
In this place every year close to October, there are almost no sunny days. And once there is a sunny day, it is a sign of rain. And today's sunset is very rich, based on this, he speculated that it may be muddy.
"Is it the reverse sky?" I was stunned, and then I couldn't help but blurt out. Hu Laoliu nodded, glanced at me appreciatively, and said that few young people now know about the existence of the reverse sky. After all, reverse heaven is not included in the scope of science, and exists only as a legendary meteorology.
Hu Laoliu said that whether it is archaeologists from the outside world or geologists, their advantage is that they are rich in knowledge, but their disadvantage is precisely here. They trust their knowledge and experience too much.
For the unknown, the residents of Luofeng Town have no scientific basis for prompting, they just laugh it off and don't pay any attention to it, and this is the reason why they will easily die in the White Mountains.
They didn't know that the existence of this white mountain was a miracle in itself, and they didn't know that in the depths of the white mountains, the legendary Mingjing Kingdom was also real. There are so many phenomena here that cannot be explained by science.
And because of this, I believe more in what I see and hear with my own eyes than in science. In the past, when I passed through this Yin Sea area, I didn't suffer less.
And this place, in my opinion, is also the first hurdle that most outsiders need to go through, as long as they are on the right path, they will definitely reach the Yin Sea District on the first day, and after that, they will ...... They can only ask for more blessings for themselves. ”
I nodded silently, looking at the strange celestial phenomenon, and I also had a little more awe of nature. Soon after, as Hu Lao Liu expected, mud began to fall in the sky, and we all opened our umbrellas.
I reached outside and tried to catch the mud spots, and found that the mud spots that had fallen from my palm were red, and at first glance they looked like rust. Seeing this, Hu Lao Liu said that if the mud spots get on his body, wash it off early, this thing is corrosive.
If you leave it alone, you will find that there are more dark potholes on your skin when you wake up after a day. I immediately wiped the mud off the speck.
When we got to the top of the mountain, we put up our tents first, fortunately we brought special material tents, but we bought this kind of tent to prevent sulfuric acid rain, and we didn't expect it to be able to withstand this strange mud spot.
After that, I asked Panhu to stay and build a small hut for the horse, and then led the horse to the lake to wash it, put a towel on it, and hurried back to the mountain. However, because the fur of the animal is difficult to rinse, Hu Lao Liu said that it will still leave a mark tomorrow.
We got into the tent and listened to the sound of crackling outside, and after a while the whole white tent turned dark brown, and I asked Hu Lao Liu when the mud would stop. He said it would take at least two hours.
It was muddy, but it contained water, and it wasn't easy for us to get the campfire up, so we thought we'd wait until the mud stopped. And just as we decided to pull up the tent and rest for a while, we heard screams not far away.
The voice was very familiar—it was the cry of the Red Moon! Panhu and I glanced at each other, and immediately knew that something might be wrong, and when I went out to take a look, I found that Hongyue and Wang Ermazi, who were under the hillside, were dirty, just like rolling on the ground.
"What's going on!" Panhu immediately went down to give the two of them next, Hongyue couldn't cry, it seemed that she was directly blind, and there was not a trace of blood on her face. After Wang Er Mazi gasped twice, he said intermittently that he had to save Ling Xiao.
"Yes, there are boars!"
I was so angry that I couldn't help but pat Wang Ermazi's head, and said in my heart that you kid has a stubborn temper, if you are obedient and keep up early, won't it be fine? I asked Panhu and Wang Er Mazi to take the guys, and then prepared the three of them to go to the cave where they were just now.
I knew that Wang Tiancheng heard it, but when this guy saw me turn his head, he immediately went back to the tent, pretending to be asleep, obviously not wanting to mix blindly. And Hu Lao Liu wanted to come with me, but I refused.
Although his physical strength was good, it was too reluctant to deal with the boar at that time, and it should be the best choice for the three of us young people to go together. Following Wang Ermazi's guidance, we immediately rushed to the vicinity of the cave, but we couldn't find Ling Xiao at the first time.
This neighborhood is a mess, the tent is estimated to have been hit by a boar, the iron frame has been folded into several sections, miserable, it is estimated that it is impossible to use it again, and now there is a tent missing, I can't help but feel distressed.
Just as we were about to separate and search around, we suddenly heard a beast cry in the forest on the south side. The boar's cry is not particularly scary, but it is very penetrating. When I rushed to the scene with Panhu and Wang Ermazi, I found that Ling Xiao was already very "miserable".
The robe on his body was already broken and could no longer be worn, and there were several blood marks on his body, and to make matters worse, I saw Ling Xiao holding his stomach all the time, and a large amount of blood kept pouring out of his abdomen - probably the flesh was torn open by the fangs of the boar.
Even though the situation was bad, I was relieved in my heart, after all, now that Ling Xiao was still alive, the worst ending had been avoided. When the time comes, after entering the Hidden Mountain Leyline, there are places that need to use this guy, and if he hangs up like this, it will be troublesome.
"Roaring ——!!"
After Ling Xiao found out about us, his face immediately showed joy, he wanted to come to our side, but the boar's movement speed was very fast, and its huge body immediately blocked Ling Xiao's route.
Then again, the boar was at least twice as big as I expected. I looked at the black-furred boar in shock, and wondered if this giant beast could still be called a boar.
The boar was at least three meters long, and its limbs were thick and strong, with unusually well-developed forelimbs, almost like a calf. A pair of long fangs were curved, shining with a cold glow at the sharp tips, which would be a blessing if it was stabbed on the body and not directly pierced.
The more I look at this mountain boar, the more I feel that it is not easy for Ling Xiao to survive until now, then again, I still have to blame Wang Er Mazi and Hongyue for this matter. If these two guys are obedient, where will there be so much. But it's useless to talk about that now.
I let the frightened Wang Er Mazi and Panhu separate first, and the three of them formed a triangular formation, keeping the same distance. The boar seemed to be in a state of excitement, and did not notice anyone coming until we surrounded it with weapons, and it did not notice us until we surrounded it with weapons.
The boar's front hooves kept digging on the ground, spitting out bursts of whitish heat from its mouth, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, this angry look made me feel a little worried. I feel that its head, or the first half of its body, is too strong.
If you have to make an analogy, this body shape is similar to that of a German bulldog, and the first half is the same as an iron fight, giving people a feeling that no matter how they fight, there will be no problem. In the appearance of surrounding this mountain boar, we also let the injured Ling Xiao retreat to the side first.
This boar seemed to hate Ling Xiao, and when he was about to leave first under our protection, the boar let out a roar of rage, and was about to rush towards us with his head on his head.
At this time, Ling Xiao happened to run in my direction, he stopped for a moment, I shouted at Ling Xiao to let him continue to run without stopping, and then I also took out a piece of talisman paper from my arms, and silently decided in my heart, when the boar and I were still some distance away, I threw the talisman out.
Since I had wrapped a stone in the rune paper beforehand, the burning rune paper did not lose its direction - I lit a purification talisman, and of course I couldn't purify mangosteen, but this time I used a special kind of purification fire. The name of the flame is Three Lotus Fire.
The Three Lotus Fire has a characteristic, that is, it is very viscous after burning, it is essentially the same as an ordinary flame, but because the flame is viscous, it is difficult to extinguish once it is stained. The Three Lotus Fire is more lethal than ordinary purification fire in all aspects.
However, the reason why I didn't use almost all of these Three Lotus Flames before was because the rune paper of the Three Lotus Flames was very laborious to make. The materials to be consumed are very precious, and I am a little reluctant, so this is the use of ordinary purification fire.
