Chapter 203: Luring the snake out of the hole
Ziyang sat down on the ground and looked at the stone slab in front of him in a daze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lao Wang is gone?" He couldn't accept that fact anyway.
Almost within a day, Xiao Hei and Lao Wang died one after another.
Just now, Lao Wang was still talking and laughing with everyone.
Just yesterday, Xiao Hei was silently by his side.
Seeing Zi Yang's depressed appearance, everyone didn't know how to comfort him. Su Rui held Ziyang's hand and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”
Sorry what? She didn't know either.
At the beginning, if Su Rui hadn't taken the initiative to contact Ziyang in school, if he hadn't taken them to the Gobi Desert for an adventure, if he hadn't invited them to join the Tibet Project...... Maybe none of this will happen.
But if it's just if, there are no assumptions in life.
Zi Yang was silent for a while, and asked softly, "Lao Wang, ...... he What will become of him? ”
Su Rui looked at him, "The juice of the purple leaf gentian is highly toxic, and when it comes into contact with blood or even skin, it will react with the human body, thereby transforming the functions of the human body and making it mutate ......."
Su Rui stopped at this point, even if she didn't say it, everyone knew what would happen to Lao Wang.
If Lao Wang hadn't been "devoured" by the purple leaf gentian, there was no doubt that he would have turned into a zombie, like the giant corpse they had encountered in the wasteland, like the Ermao they had just seen, a soulless walking corpse.
The crowd fell silent.
Su Rui said with palpitations: "I didn't expect the venom of this purple leaf gentian to be so weird, not only can it take people's lives instantly, but also 'erode' the victim's body, making people mutate into a creature beyond death - now it seems that the biological weapon that Hitler was looking for back then should be the purple leaf gentian." ”
Zi Yang suddenly sneered: "There is no immortal spring in this world at all. The so-called myth of immortality is nothing more than a mutation after poisoning! ”
Jin Guoqiang nodded: "If the 'Immortal Army' that Hitler wanted to build back then refers to this, then we must really be glad that he did not succeed in the end, otherwise, the entire human race will fall into disaster." ”
Everyone fell silent again, Jin Guoqiang was right, with such a powerful vitality and unsolvable venom infection as the purple leaf gentian, if it was given growth conditions and space, the chain reaction it produced would be enough to change the biological chain on the earth.
Zi Yang got up abruptly and walked around the cave with the night pearl in his hand, as if looking for something.
Su Rui looked at him in surprise: "You, what are you going to do?" ”
"What to do? I'm going to save the planet! Didn't you listen to Jin Guoqiang, this thing can change the world, I'm going to destroy it! Ziyang laughed as he spoke, but there were tears in his eyes.
The purple leaf gentian swallowed Lao Wang, and even Xiao Hei's corpse fell below, Ziyang would never just throw them away.
"But, we are ...... like this now" Su Rui hesitated, they even had a question of whether they could save their own lives, how to save the world?
The purple leaf gentian below is so huge, and the tentacles are as fast as electricity, and the juice contains highly poisonous, let alone destroying it, even getting close is a problem.
Zi Yang said, "Think about it, since the purple leaf gentian can hollow out the sarcophagus below, why has it been locked by the Golden Spirit Bone Tower?" ”
Jin Guoqiang looked at the swastika on the stone slab and said, "What do you mean, is it the sealing power of this rune?" ”
Zi Yang shook his head: "I don't believe in theology, I believe in science. There must be something in this golden spirit bone tower that it is afraid of! ”
Su Rui's eyes lit up, "What you said makes sense!" This purple leaf gentian was able to penetrate through the crack in the stone slab, but it stopped in the blood dragon wooden coffin, indicating that there was something in this tomb that could restrain it. ”
Zi Yang nodded: "As long as we can find what suppresses it, we can go all the way deeper, find the core of the purple leaf gentian, and then ......"
Ziyang threw a piece of C4 explosives in his hand.
The explosives were dug out of a cow's bag. When searching below just now, Zi Yang untied Niu Da's backpack and hung it on himself, and by the way, he also put away the detonator that Li Tianming threw on the ground.
Although there is only one piece of explosives left, if it can directly hit the vital point, there is still a chance to destroy the purple leaf gentian tree.
At that moment, everyone dispersed, looking for anything "suspicious" in the cave, Zi Yang poured out all the jewels in several layers of gold drawers, spread them all over the ground, and looked at the treasures all over the ground and was worried, if it was really the things in the golden spirit bone tower that suppressed the purple leaf gentian tree, then how could they tell what kind of thing it was?
Ah Chong said: "Use the simplest way to bring it up and test it in the same way." ”
Jin Guoqiang shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous, what should I do if this thing can't be controlled?" ”
Ziyang thought for a while: "There is no other way, but to take the risk and try!" ”
Turning to Su Rui, he said, "You just said that the leaves of the Purple Leaf Gentian once stayed in the Blood Dragon Wooden Coffin, right?" ”
Su Rui nodded.
"This shows that at least the Blood Dragon Wood is attractive to it, okay, then we are like this!"
Zi Yang said this and this to everyone, and several people looked at each other. Ah Chong nodded and said, "You can try!" ”
Su Rui and Jin Guoqiang glanced at each other, Zi Yang's method was too dangerous, but other than that, they had no other better solution, so they had to take a risk.
At that moment, everyone began to act separately, and Ah Chong and Zi Yang lifted the lid of the blood dragon wooden coffin that was thrown aside, and smashed it open with gold bars.
Ah Chong used a throwing knife to cut the longest piece of wood into an arm-thick wooden stick and handed it to Ziyang, which was also turned out of the ox's big backpack, and it came to a great use at this time.
Su Rui and Qingwen untied the mountaineering rope that Li Tianming tied to the golden bottle and made a looper on one end.
When everything was ready, Ah Chong wrapped the hand holding the knife in a down jacket and gently cocked the corner of the stone slab covering the hole.
Su Rui and Qingwen put the hiking rope on the corner of the stone slab, and then stood far away, holding the other end of the rope with both hands.
Ah Chong squatted at the entrance of the cave and stood by.
Ziyang stood on the edge of the pit, holding the two-meter-long wooden stick in his hand, and secretly prayed in his heart: I hope this method will work.
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and nodded: "Pull!" ”
Su Rui and Qingwen pulled the mountaineering rope together, the stone slab was uncovered, Ziyang threw a night pearl down, looked down and couldn't help but feel numb in the scalp, under the fluorescent light of the night pearl, I saw that there were dozens of tentacles at the bottom of the cave densely intertwined, like a group of snakes in J.
Zi Yang threw down a few pieces of blood dragon wood in his hand, and the "group of snakes" seemed to be stimulated, their heads were raised one after another, and they writhed around the blood dragon wood, as if the smell of blood dragon wood made them even more excited.
Zi Yang slowly lowered the blood dragon wood in his hand, although this blood dragon wood was nearly two meters long, but it was still three or four meters away from the bottom of the cave, and at such a distance, the group of snakes at the bottom of the cave did not seem to be affected.
Zi Yang was about to lie down and stretch out his hand, when suddenly an arm-thick tentacle jumped out of the hole, and suddenly wrapped around the blood dragon wood, and quickly "swam" around the wooden stick.
The tentacles of this purple-leaf gentian had been sticking to the rock wall below the cave entrance, in the blind spot of their vision, so Ziyang didn't notice it at first, this surprise startled him, and his body fell back to the ground, and the blood dragon wood he was dragging in his hand brought out a "tentacle".
Ah Chong's eyes were quick, only to see a flash of cold light, the tentacles were cut off by the waist, and a stream of blue-purple liquid splashed out.
As soon as the rope in Su Rui and Qingwen's hands was loosened, there was a bang, and the thick stone slab was covered again on the entrance of the cave.
Everyone smelled a smell of rot in their noses, and Zi Yang saw that Ah Chong's arm wrapped around the down jacket was splashed with dots of blue and purple juice, and stammered and asked, "Ah Chong, you, are you okay?" ”
Ah Chong shook his head and stepped forward to step on the tentacles that were still writhing.
The severed tentacle was more than a meter long and the thickness of a wrist, and it was still tightly wrapped around the blood dragon wood, as if it was about to break the blood dragon wood.
Zi Yang slowly looked closer, and found that there were rows of suckers under the tentacles, and at this time, black thorns drilled out of the small holes of the suckers, all of which were deeply inserted into the blood dragon wood.
Su Rui understood why Ermao, who was hit by the tentacle, fell to the ground and died in an instant, and when this tentacle attacked, a stinger would stretch out from the suction cup and inject venom into the body of the person being attacked.
Everyone gathered the night pearl together, and they could see the whole picture of this tentacle.
The purple-leaved gentian they saw just now, most of the vines were only the thickness of fingers, but this vine was much thicker, like a python, with a round head, full of scales the size of fingernails, and the branches were bare, and there were no leaves like small hands, it seemed that this should be a main trunk - of course, there was still a big gap from the main trunk the thickness of the bucket in the sarcophagus.
Qingwen used a mountaineering rope to tightly wrap the head of the tentacle with the blood dragon wood, and then wrapped it around the blood dragon wood for a few more turns, binding the tentacles tightly to the blood dragon wood. The severed roots are wrapped in pieces of cloth from a down jacket and pestled to the ground.
Now, the "remnants" of this purple leaf gentian are tied to the blood dragon wood by the five flowers, ready to be interrogated by everyone.
Ziyang gasped, picked up a gold bar from the ground, and slowly approached the tentacle, but there was no response.
Ziyang rubbed the gold bar on the tentacle a few times, but there was still no response.
Su Rui picked up a string of silver ornaments, picked it up with a wooden strip and slowly placed it on it, but there was no response.
Coral, agate, jade, crystal, pearl, ...... Almost everything in the golden coffin has been tried, and the tentacles have no response.
"Is this thing dead?" Jin Guoqiang, who was lying on the ground, asked.
Ah Chong shook his head, his tentacles were still twitching and writhing slightly, and the stingers in the suction cups were still biting the blood dragon wood.
Ziyang was a little discouraged, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, but was smacked by something.
Zi Yang touched the piece under his buttocks, took a photo with the Night Pearl, and found that it was a dzi stone the size of a small thumb, with various strange symbols such as circles and triangles displayed on it. Ziyang's heart moved, and he inserted the dzi stone into the wooden strip, slowly approaching the tentacle.
Suddenly, the tentacles writhed desperately, and the scales of the head vibrated violently, making a "hissing" sound, like the sound of a rattlesnake.
