Chapter 7 Fungi
These steles are all gray-white, and the texture looks very ordinary, but it should be some years old, and I can smell the very special smell of old things that are very simple and vicissitudes.
Those intaglio black patterns, in fact, can't be called patterns, but when I looked closely, I found that they were all in a mess, with no rules at all, just like random ink.
After studying it for a while, I still don't think these patterns make much sense.
The sense of danger I felt earlier may have been my delusion.
It's meaningless, it's not threatening, it's just a very ordinary kind of stone monument.
But no matter how you think about it, if these stone tablets are really found by Xiangjiang ghosts piece by piece, then there must be something unique about them, but all of this has to be based on the premise that the sixth master is not joking with me.
"Sixth Master, what are these stone tablets written on?" I stood in front of the first stele and asked in confusion.
I've been walking around here three times in a row, but I still don't see anything, so I have to ask for help from the sidelines.
The sixth master didn't mean to embarrass me, and raised his hand lightly: "You press your palm on the stone tablet, and you will be able to see those things." ”
Hearing him say that, I couldn't help but hesitate a little.
To be honest, my instincts tell me that it's best not to touch these tablets directly with your physical body, otherwise, .......
"I can't die anyway, so I won't lose if I try." I comforted myself and boldly placed my palm on the stone tablet.
Almost instantly, many black iron spikes similar to metal emerged from the stele, piercing my palm without me reacting......
The spikes seemed to be alive, and as soon as they pierced my palm, they twisted and deformed, bending my body and putting my palm on the stele.
It must be false to say that it doesn't hurt, but it doesn't hurt as much as I imagined, it's like being scuttled a few times with a sharp weapon, and the pain comes and goes inexplicably fast.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I noticed that my head had become a little heavy, as if I had drunk too much, and I was dizzy......
When it was completely dark in front of my eyes, I could still vaguely hear the voice of the sixth master.
"Some of the answers you want are now in front of your eyes, take a good look......."
Confusion, sober consciousness.
This process of tossing and turning constantly tormented my cranial nerves, which was more uncomfortable than the feeling of being out of my body.
I don't know how long it took, but the consciousness that had recovered and dissipated gradually coalesced, but I still felt a little delirious, and my brain was extremely uncomfortable.
However, the blurring of consciousness only limited my thinking, and did not affect my ability to see and remember some things, but only lost part of my ability to think.
At first I saw darkness.
Unlike the darkness that you see after falling into a coma, it is something that can be seen clearly in a state of extreme wakefulness.
They were like maggots on the tarsal bones, and they seemed to be very interested in me as a living person, and I could feel them burrowing through my pores.......
Just when I was unconscious, as if I had flown up, floating in the void, a dazzling and brilliant light suddenly lit up in front of my eyes.
I don't know how to describe it, it's definitely not any of the colors we know in later life, it's so dazzling, but it's not dazzling.
It was a light that was full of life and seemed to make people rejoice.......
Just as I was staring at the light in a daze, the picture suddenly turned, as if it had teleported, and the place I was in was no longer that dark space, but in the middle of a desert.
This desert seems to be boundless, and at a glance, there is no edge at all.
The desert I could see was as smooth as a painting, and I couldn't see any sand dunes or any undulations, revealing an indescribable weirdness.
When I was about to brave myself and go out to take a look, I heard a loud bang, and a huge crater with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared nearly a thousand meters away from me.
Before I could figure out what was going on, strange creatures just came out of the pit.
The creatures are almost always the same, and it's certain that they're monsters of the same race.
Seriously, it's the first time I've seen something so weird.
They are supposed to be living creatures, able to move freely, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are animals, but their physical appearance is far from the animal in my impression.
The tallest of these monsters is forty or fifty meters, and the shortest is twenty or thirty meters.
Their heads resemble a giant crimson mushroom, with something like mycelium growing around the edges, like a curtain on a hat, covering their faces.
The most unstoppable thing is the bodies of these monsters.
Their bodies were humanoid, they didn't resemble any animal form, I couldn't tell their limbs and torsos, and no matter how I looked at them, their bodies were much weirder than those of the Brain Monsters.
The bodies of these creatures are dark green with a bumpy surface, and as a whole, they resemble a pile of dark green plant rhizomes, thicker near the head and thinner on the tail.
They didn't feel any threat to me, and the smell was distinctive, I could smell the scent of wildflowers, and they had a misshapen breath of life from start to finish.
It's really weird.
After looking at it carefully for a while, no matter how distorted their appearance is, no matter how deformed, I don't think they are monsters, this inexplicable feeling is something that the brain monster Beigong has not seen on them.
Just when I was puzzled, I heard a voice.
It's not the Sixth Master's, and it's not anything I've ever heard.
The voice was incomparably unfamiliar, indistinguishable from men, women and children, and the tone was as calm as stagnant water, but it sounded like an indescribable cordiality.
"Disciples, loyal followers, the one closest to the source of life......."
When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, and then I thought of a lot of things.
Are these monsters called fungus??
I guess that's right...... Their heads look like wild mushrooms, isn't that true to their name!
Just as I was wondering what they were trying to do in their collective appearance, suddenly, there was a very familiar sound of horns in the sky.
The whining sound was very dull, like thunder falling from the sky.
It was the voice of the Sandman....... I remember that every time it appeared, it brought this kind of horn sound like a warning!
It looks like this place is still the old world...... These creatures are called fungus, and they are the monsters of the old days, right?
But it's really weird...... Why do they make me feel so harmless?!
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly rose, and countless yellow sand was swept into the sky by this gust of wind.
The whirring wind exploded like thunder, and with the wind and the yellow sand, the sky gradually changed color, and the huge and twisted figure also walked in the yellow sand and came with the wind.
Is the Sandboon really here?!
I don't know what kind of stimulation those creatures named Disciple Fungus received, not long after the Sand Body appeared, the giant creatures rushed over this side, like moths to a fire, one after another pounced on the Sand Body One.
The physique of the fungus is not small, but if you compare it to the sand-bodied, it is only up to the knees.
But it's still a little scary for all of the fungus to pounce, and the two legs of the sandman are full of these things, and I feel a little numb when I see it.......
Those apprentices seemed to be injured, and the moment they touched the sand, many of them trembled wildly, and made a sound like an insect chirp, buzzing non-stop.
As a king of the old days, being haunted by such a bunch of monsters made the sand-bodied man angry.
But what really angered it didn't seem to be the rude actions of these monsters, but something else.
Because I heard it clearly, the sand-bodied man whispered almost through gritted teeth.
"Betrayer....... Damn it!! ”
As soon as the words fell, the sand-bodyed man bent down and grabbed four or five mushrooms with a casual grab, and didn't seem to use much effort, so he pinched those mushrooms into meat sauce.
Countless dark green slurries poured out of the corpse and poured down from the sky like rain......
