Chapter 55: Strange Books and Strange Fog

Although nothing else unusual happened after Tenzin Kava was ingested into the white marble sarcophagus by the ghost hands, I still cautiously approached the crystal box that had been opened by Tenzin Kava, and everyone took a few steps back and waited with bated breath.

The surroundings fell silent all of a sudden, and there was no movement except for the whistling of the mountain breeze in my ears.

As I got closer, I finally got a good view of the crystal box.

The box is square, the length and width are an arm, but it is not so much a box, but a transparent crystal ore, because the box presents a natural ore shape, without any artificial traces, the so-called "open the box", in fact, the whole crystal ore cracked from it, revealing a black ancient book hidden in it.

There are no characters on the cover of the ancient book, and the cover is made of unknown black leather, revealing the scaly lines of ichthyosaurs on the surface, and the faintly shiny black scales will even open and close slightly like living creatures, reminiscent of the gills of fish that keep opening and closing when breathing, and the whole book looks unspeakably strange and ominous.

I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand to the ancient book.

The moment my fingers touched the ancient books in the crystal box, a red light suddenly lit upβ€”

I looked down and saw that the blood jade hanging on my chest suddenly glowed, and it automatically emerged from the mountaineering suit, floating in the air, like a pocket lantern, radiating a cloud of red light.

Just when I didn't know why, the ancient book in my hand suddenly began to change - black streamers emerged from the ancient books, and then like a school of fish tracing upstream, the stars poured towards the blood jade on my chest, and as soon as the blood jade was touched, it was like a sponge meeting water, and it was immediately sucked in by the blood jade......

This process was completed in a matter of seconds, and then, the four words "Nether Blood Book" engraved on the book-like blood jade were red and glowing, and the blood jade slowly opened again like an extremely small book, and lines of blood-red small characters appeared in front of my eyes-

But alas, the blood script that appeared in mid-air turned out to be the kind of cuneiform script we had seen in the Tower of Babel in Somol, a combination of various geometric figures, and none of us could decipher this strange writing.

The only thing that can be determined is that since this book can be absorbed by the blood jade, it means that it is a strange thing that belongs to the same source as the blood jade, and the content in it is written in the strange cuneiform script of the land of the sea and the sky, so it cannot be the secret book of the Western Xia royal family that Tenzin Kawa said - it is said to record the mysterious Xingyao divination cultivation method, "The Golden Wheel Buddha Ding Daweide Blazing Light Nine Yao Holy Star Secret Codex".

Even now I begin to wonder if this strange book with such a lengthy name really ever existed. It can't be Tenzin Kawa who came out to deceive us, right?

The real purpose of him must follow us through hardships and dangers to break into the country of heaven and sea, is actually this book of heaven?

When I was helpless against the lines of blood letters, my eyes occasionally drifted to the white marble sarcophagus on the side, but I couldn't help but be startled!

The huge white marble sarcophagus gradually became translucent in front of my eyes, only to see a humanoid shadow in the sarcophagus, a few seconds later, the transparency of the sarcophagus has been so high that Tenzin Kava's appearance in the sarcophagus is clearly visible, I saw that he was really naked, a black cyclone tightly wrapped his body and rotated rapidly, Tenzin Kava hugged his head, obviously in great pain!

"Hey!" I was so shocked that I couldn't care about anything else, so I threw myself on the white marble sarcophagus and shouted inward, "Tenzin Kava! How are you? Can you hear me?! ”

But Tenzin Kava in the sarcophagus only raised his mouth to the sky and opened his mouth wide to make a miserable howl, as if he couldn't hear my shouts, and even if I pounded the surface of the sarcophagus hard, he didn't react at all.

I immediately understood that there was probably the same space between the inside and outside of this sarcophagus, otherwise no matter how well it was sealed, it would not be possible to isolate the sound of directly hitting the sarcophagus wall, or that the Tenzin Kava inside the sarcophagus was completely out of control......

In a daze, two pairs of powerful arms suddenly dragged me away from the edge of the white marble sarcophagus, and at the same time, the roar of the old knife sounded in my ears: "Aji, is your mother evil or what's wrong?" How suddenly you went crazy! ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw the angry face of the old knife, and the other person who helped drag me away was Hyde.

"Can't you see?" I pointed to the white marble sarcophagus in front of me and shouted, "Tenzin Kava is in the sarcophagus!" ”

The old knife knocked me to the ground: "Nonsense! Of course we know that guy is in the sarcophagus, haven't we all seen him caught in by a ghost claw? Why are you so excited all of a sudden, do you want to stay in there too? ”

"Wait a minute!" Shen Tangzhi also walked up, "You just said, 'Can't you see'?" What do you mean? Can you see what's inside the sarcophagus? ”

I was stunned: "Can't you see?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Could it be because of the absorption of that mysterious ancient book by the blood jade?

At this time, the situation in the white marble sarcophagus changed again.

The black qi that swirled around Tenzin Kava separated into several strands, and it was burrowing into his body from his mouth with his mouth wide open in the sky, this process was extremely fast, and in a few breaths, all the black qi entered Tenzin Kava's body!

The next moment, Tenzin Kava suddenly closed his mouth, and his head suddenly turned in my direction, staring at me!

And I was shocked to find that at this time, Tenzin Kava's head was already a flat snake head!

And the pupils in one of his eyes have also become snake-like vertical pupils, and there is no trace of humanity in his eyes, replaced by a ferocious beastly light!

Like an eagle! Like a wolf! Like a snake!

Like all cunning and cruel animals!

And in the next second, Tenzin Kava raised his left hand, and when I didn't understand what he was going to do, his head that had turned into a snake opened its bloody mouth, and it actually bit his own palm and began to gnaw on his own arm!

Blood poured down and splattered Tenzin Kava's body, but before he knew it, a snake's mouth opened and closed, and he had swallowed an entire forearm......

I couldn't help but gasp!

Isn't this hellish scene exactly what we see in the murals in the Borobudur Bone Tower?!

According to the mural depiction, the tribal ancestors of the ancient kingdom of Somol sent their leader into the mouth of the mysterious serpent, and when the mouth opened again, the head and body of the tribal leader had been separated, and began to gnaw on their own body with their independent heads...... As the gnawing increased, the head of the tribal leader turned into a snake head, and slowly grew into the snake body of a black snake, and when she completely turned into a snake body, only a white skeleton was left on the ground, but this skeleton was missing the head.

Tenzin Kawa's behavior was almost identical to that depicted in the mural, and at this moment, he had devoured his entire left arm, and then raised his right arm......

I didn't hesitate any longer, and while getting up from the ground, I shouted at Shen Tangzhi and them:

"Not good! Tenzin Kava is also going to change the snake! We need to get out of here! ”

But the question is, where do you run for your life?

The four of us looked around, except for the circular burial platform that had been suspended in the air for some reason under our feet, and the surrounding clouds and mist were strong winds, and we walked to the edge of the funeral platform, and looked down at a sea of dark blue fog.

Do you want to jump from here?

But it was completely unclear whether it was the sea or something below, and the blue mist obscured everything.

I glanced left and right, and when the old knife saw my action, his eyebrows raised:

"You're not going to tell me you're going to make us jump from here, are you?"

Before I could say anything, Shen Tang said first: "Whether it is your dream realm or that ancient painting, it is clearly pointed out that there will be a huge body of water above the ice at the bottom of the sky, but you have to consider how far this sea of extreme heaven is from our feet, we don't know. If you jump straight down, the risk is too great - in case there is a change in the sea over a period of 10 million years, causing the sea level to drop or even dry up...... It's all possible. ”

Hyde directly began to calculate: "F=MG, the weight of the body multiplied by the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 can get its own pressure, and the force area of the water depends on your posture before falling into the water...... Roughly estimated, except for Shen Tangzhi, if the three of us men enter the water in the wrong posture, 50 meters will be in danger, even if everything is perfect, but if the height difference exceeds 100 meters, the mortality rate is almost 100 percent......"

The old knife shrugged at me, since Shen Tangzhi and Hyde had made the reasons for their opposition so specific, he didn't need to say anything more.

But I still insist that the only way for us to survive is to go down. While they objected, my eyes were still desperately looking for a chance to get under the burial table – and finally, I realized something was wrong!

"Look at the fog down there!"

"Blue, what's wrong?" The old knife didn't even bother to look at it.

I didn't care about him, and continued: "Normal fog will surge, but I see that now, those fogs are not moving! ”

Everyone took a look, and sure enough!

The thick blue smoke is only a dozen meters away from us, and you can see something strange if you look closely.

Shen Tangzhi guessed: "Could it be ...... Is time standing still in the blue mist below? ”

"There's no time to guess, let's just do the experiment."

With that, I took off my mountaineering suit, which was missing a sleeve and full of holes, and threw it down.

The mountaineering suit was blown by the mountain wind, swayed and drifted away, and finally hung on the blue mist!

"Since clothes can be hung, it is possible that they can also bear our weight! At least not to fall to your death right away, right? ”

As I spoke, I looked back and saw that Tenzin Kava had already gnawed on his legs, and a long snake body had appeared under the snake's head, and it was not too long before the snake transformation was completed.

"He's almost done! Jump down, there's no time! ”

I urged everyone, I quickly ran to the pile of clothes and backpack of Tenzin Kava, and directly put Tenzin Kava's mountaineering suit on his body, anyway, he was already about to turn into a giant black ruba snake, and it was impossible to use it anymore, and the same was true for other things, I poured the contents of his backpack directly to the ground, and quickly looked for available resources.

At this moment, the wind blowing over the burial platform suddenly became stronger, and a loud rumbling sound was faintly heard in the distance......

Could it be that the mountain is about to collapse?

Just thinking about it, Shen Tangzhi ran over and pulled me and said, "Jiguang, go quickly!" ”

"Wait a minuteβ€”" I was stuffing the magazine on the ground into my backpack, and I picked up the M4 carbine and belt on the ground and carried it behind me.

The wind became more violent, and Shen Tangzhi had to come up to me and shout: "This is the sound of a big storm!" ”

"What?!"

"Remember when we first entered the Dhaulagiri area, a guide told us that there were more than three tropical depressions forming over the western Pacific Ocean? When those tropical depressions get stronger, they form tropical storms! In the mountains, the impact of storms is much more severe than on flat land, and we may be swept away by the galesβ€”"

"Okay, let's go!"

I pulled Shen Tangzhi and turned around and ran back, at this time the old knife and Hyde had already jumped down, and we also jumped down directly holding hands.

At a distance of more than ten meters, it is a matter of an instant to jump down, and as soon as our feet touch the blue mist below, they actually bounce up directly for several meters, as if jumping on a trampoline, and they have been upside down several times before they can stand firmly.

The sensation coming from our feet was very strange - the mist was so solid that we could walk on it, and it felt like we were stepping on foamed rubber, and it felt like a bouncy fruit gummy to the touch.

When we looked back, we saw that the blue mist was stacked in a cylindrical shape behind it, extending all the way to the bottom of the burial platform - it seems that it was the semi-solid blue mist that held the circular stone platform and allowed the entire burial platform to "levitate" in the air out of thin air.

The semi-solid blue mist looked like a thick syrup sticking to each other, and there was a faint path in it, and the path and steps could be faintly discerned, and the four of us hurriedly ran forward, and it didn't take long for a snake hiss to be remembered behind us, followed by a "bang", followed by a slight vibration under our feet

The old knife changed color and scolded: "It's over, Tenzin Kava's turtle grandson has completed his transformation, and he has caught up!" ”

I looked behind me, and a huge black snake head had appeared behind us!

"Hissβ€”β€”!"

The strange snake hissed, and its body writhed, and it had already quickly burrowed into this secret way.

"You go first!" The old knife suddenly stopped, turned around and picked up the M4 carbine, and yelled: "Damn, you still don't give up when you become a monster, it's too deceitful!" ”

As he spoke, the muzzle of the M4 carbine burst into flames and roared.
