Chapter 428: The Wasteland of Bones (Part II)
Chinese This walk is more than two hours. Although I didn't travel fast, it was long enough to accumulate.
We slowly became numb from curiosity, there were too many bones, and all of them were the bones of powerful behemoths.
My spirit has been tense, and the consumption of two hours has gradually made me tired. Just when Hu Lai asked me if I wanted to rest, a different scene finally appeared in front of me.
A mountain, a mountain like an arched bridge, stands on the distant skyline, full of verdant greenery, in stark contrast to the scorched earth here.
"Margins?" Yellow hair was puzzled.
"It's not a margin, it's like an oasis." Hu Laidao. Without saying a word, I immediately picked up my spirits and headed for that direction.
The closer I got, the more I realized that this arched mountain, which was actually said to be an oasis in the scorched earth, and the tall trees on it could be seen from afar.
Slowly approaching, at the beginning of the ground only sporadically appeared some weeds, and then slowly become more, and some shrubs appeared, and when approaching the main peak of the arch bridge, the tall trees are straight to the sky, the canopy is like an umbrella, a lot of vitality.
And what surprised us even more was that there was no killing machine inside, and it was a safe place.
"I'll go, this can't be another hallucination, right?" After testing it, there was no killing intent in it, Cao Nan couldn't believe it.
Not only him, but we were all suspicious. Previously, the mythical little hell was deceived miserably, obviously a ghost, but in our eyes, it was a fairyland, and it was almost sacrificed, and Xiong Da even gnawed a bite of the dead corpse.
Encounter this fairyland-like again
"Oasis", we all have a psychological shadow.
"Go in and have a look, be careful." Huang Mao Road. We nodded and cautiously walked inside. At this time, we found that although it was full of life, there were no animals, not even mosquitoes, but it was not the kind of deathly silence, which really made people feel confused.
"What kind of mountain can grow into the shape of an arched bridge?" I asked suspiciously, the core of this oasis is the arched bridge-shaped mountain, which is lush and green, and can be seen from afar.
The bottom is suspended in the air, a hundred feet high from the ground, which is very peculiar.
"Caves? Weathered rocks? Cao Nan tried to explain, but after saying that, he began to shake his head, otherwise this kind of thought.
We headed towards Gongqiao Mountain, and it became more and more difficult because the vegetation was so dense that there was no way to pass through it, so we had to cut it as we went.
This walk lasted another two or three hours, and by this time the sky was already dark, and it was time for another night to come under the abyss.
When we waited for the walkway to the foot of the arch bridge mountain, we had to stop. Because there is no road at all, there are cliffs on both sides, and the middle is huge and stout
"Arch bridge", the arch bridge is overgrown with tall trees. I can't figure it out, this
The span of the "arch bridge" is 100 meters, and if it is dirt, it is simply impossible to form such an arch bridge, because the strength of the earth is not enough to support it, and it will definitely collapse.
The only possibility is the cave formation, where the rocks below have been impacted, leaving only one dangling in the air
"Arch Bridge". But the same question arises, if it's rock, how can the trees on it be so dense?
The entire oasis is the most densely populated by trees growing on the arch bridge, if not at all
Under the "arch bridge", it is overgrown with various kinds of plants, and it is completely encased, and it is impossible to see what is inside.
The rocks are so fertile, more fertile than the soil? It doesn't make sense! I voiced my doubts, and everyone looked at each other, unable to come up with a reason.
"You'll have to go up to find out." Huang Mao said, paused and said
"But the question is, do we need to go up, or do we need to move on through the oasis?"
"The point is, there's no way up if you want to." Qi Donghai looked at the cliffs on both sides, and frowned deeply.
"Otherwise, let's rest for a night and leave here, there are more strange places in this Falling Demon Abyss, and there is no need to waste too much time and physical strength because of this." Someone persuaded him.
"Yes, finding your way out is the most important thing." It didn't take long for someone to chim.
"...... "These are five or six people who are walking with us all the way, they don't have the secret **, they just want to leave this abyss as soon as possible."
Huang Mao then looked at me and asked
"You think, if you want to go up, it's not that there is no way, it's just a little troublesome."
"Forget it, let's rest." I pondered for a moment and shook my head, although the words of those people had their own small calculations, they were not unreasonable.
The "arch bridge" is difficult to climb, it is too laborious, and secondly, they are not wrong, there are too many magical places and scenes under the falling demon abyss, and it is impossible for them to explore every one.
The third is that I am also tired, my spirit is highly nervous and sharp, and my energy consumption is very large. The decision was made, and the people cheered and immediately began camping.
They were well aware of their subordinate position, and took the initiative to cut down trees and weeds, clear a relatively large open space, pick up a lot of branches, and light a bonfire.
The Demon Abyss is dangerous everywhere, this place looks quiet, but no one dares to guarantee that it will be safe, the bonfire can not only illuminate, but also scare away some things that are afraid of light and heat, it is the best choice for camping.
Everyone sat around the bonfire and shared some dry food and wine, and Huang Mao began to arrange for the night to be on duty, taking turns to sleep at night in case of accidents.
The danger here seems to be smaller, Huang Mao simply divided into five groups, and the five of us were separated from the others, after all, there are strangers here, and we must guard against one hand, and we can't all sleep.
Xiong and I were in a big group and arranged to be on duty in the second half of the night. So we went to sleep first, and then we were woken up in the middle of the night.
Xiong was bored, so he was tinkering with that big stone mill. I feel a little funny, and my heart says that you can just carry a plaque, and carry a merit box, even if you want both, you can barely understand, but this big stone mill is too exaggerated, and it is completely the rhythm of exhausting people and not paying for their lives.
"Is this stone mill any use?" I couldn't help but whisper. Hu Lai once said a very classic sentence: Don't despise and laugh at anyone's abnormal behavior, because you feel abnormal, because you don't know the inside story, if you follow his train of thought, you will be the same as him.
Bear Avenue as a result
"My grandmother loves tofu, this big stone grinds heavy enough, and the bean flour must be very fine, so that the tofu is delicious."
"...... "I was speechless for a while, grinding tofu?" Just because I love tofu, I grind a big stone for thousands of miles and carry it home?
The most important thing is that the fall of the demon abyss is so dangerous, the slightest difference in speed is the difference between life and death, and such heavy grinding is completely cumbersome.
This...... It's too filial, isn't it? I can't help but be curious about Xiong Da's origins, he mentioned his grandmother many times, this must not be an ordinary old lady.
And this guy is full of brute strength, which ordinary people simply can't have. After thinking about it, I asked
"Xiong Da, where is your home?"
"My family?" Xiong Da raised his head, grinned, and said
"My family is in western Sichuan." I nodded, the accent was right, and I followed further
"Isn't your grandma very powerful, I think your dragon-seeking ruler is not ordinary."
"That's a must." Xiong Da's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said
"My grandmother is a respected person in all walks of life, and everyone likes her."
"Yes, yes." I smiled and nodded, and continued to set
"Then what's your grandmother's name, and how did you get the strength of your body?" This guy's strength is definitely one of the strongest I've ever seen, a punch down is enough to knock a cow away, the stone grinds as heavy as iron, and he has been trekking with us for so long with his back on his back.
Not only is the strength strong, but the endurance is also amazing. But as a result, Xiong Da shook his head, and said with an urn
"Then I can't say it, my grandmother has explained, I can't mention her to anyone, and I can't talk about myself." I
"......, although honest people are good at clichés, but if he admits death, it will be very difficult to cheat."
After that, I knocked on the side and asked several questions, but Xiong was mostly tight-lipped and told me very sincerely that his grandmother would not let me say it.
For a while, I was like a thief, and my heart was empty. At this time, Xiong Da began to tinker with the merit box again, and there seemed to be something in it, but it was locked and could not be opened.
I suddenly became curious again, the merit box is used to donate things, and it is up to you to donate as much as you like or not, and it is normal for the merit box in the temple to have something.
The heart said that he took a fancy to this merit box and carried it so far, could it be that he took a fancy to the donations inside?
Having said that, the donations of the ancients are really valuable. Xiong Da tinkered twice, took out the dragon ruler, and began to pick the lock.
But this lock is not made of ordinary copper and iron at first glance, it is not gold or jade, and Xiong Da blushed and couldn't pry it open.
I thought about it for a moment, pulled out a wire, and asked
"Why don't you let me try?"
"Okay." Xiong Da directly pushed the merit box to me. I took it, turned on the flashlight and observed the lock cylinder, I couldn't help but be happy, although the material of this thing is extraordinary, but the safety of the lock cylinder is not complimented at all, it is not as good as the cheapest kind of lock outside, because it has a total of two bullets, I can even imagine what the key looks like.
Without a word, I rolled the wire, inserted it into the lock cylinder, and with a slight twist, the lock opened, without any technical content.
The technique of unlocking is taught to me when Huang Mao was bored, and the principle is very simple, that is, the marble is in a straight line, and the wire or a few slender needles are all sharp tools for picking locks.
It is difficult for those who don't understand it to be deep, and those who understand it don't feel that there is any technical content at all. Xiong Da definitely didn't understand, his eyes widened, and he gave me a thumbs up
"Brother Leizi, you are so powerful!" I smiled, corrected, and said
"My name is Meng Lei, not Leizi." He called me Leizi along the way, which made me a little painful, I thought there would be no intersection with him, but it turned out that I still had a bit of fate with him.
Especially when he jumped up to attack the big demon bird, I felt a majestic power, and even some blood boiled.
"Your surname is Meng?" As a result, when Xiong Da heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened again. I was inexplicable, said
"Yes, my surname is Meng."
"My grandmother asked me to come out this time and find someone surnamed Meng, you are also surnamed Meng?" Xiong Da asked.
"Yes, my surname is Meng." I nodded speechlessly, among the hundreds of surnames, Meng is not rare.
Xiong Da touched his chin and opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to ask but was not sure. I saw that he wanted to ask, but hesitated, and suddenly I was a little curious, but I was not in a hurry, so I took out the water and took a sip.
Sure enough, Xiong Da quickly asked
"Since you are also surnamed Meng, do you know a person named Meng Yanji?" I was struck like lightning.
Meng Yanji, isn't that grandpa's name? Xiong Da who met on this expedition actually wanted to find his grandfather?
I was stunned for a moment, is this a coincidence? It's still some kind of arrangement in the dark, and it's amazing.
Swallowing a mouthful of water, I nodded and said
"I know Meng Yanji, what are you looking for him?" Xiong Da scratched his head and said
"He's my grandfather."
"Poof...... Ahem, cough, cough, cough ......" I immediately squirted out half of my saliva and began to cough violently. Xiong Da actually said that Meng Yanji was his grandfather?
! God, what's going on? I'm going crazy directly, my grandfather, how did he become the grandfather of the bear?
Could it be that grandpa is still small outside?
"You...... Don't talk nonsense! "I jumped straight from the ground in shock, it was so big, it was so big that it made me spin around.
