Chapter Twenty-Three: Sacrifice

The four of us and a giant insect were instantly swept up by the air wave generated by the explosion at the bottom of the bridge!

Now not far from the riverbank, only a few meters away, I felt a wave of heat push me into the air. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity, I almost crossed the river safely, it seems that I am destined to seal the tombstone today, and I am either burned to death or fell to death, and the horizontal and vertical are determined to die this time. At this critical moment, the giant Western Regions dung beetle spun violently in mid-air and knocked the four of us across the river with its body. Instinctively, I protected my head and neck, and fell heavily on the hard stone bricks, and my whole body hurt as if I had fallen apart.

Turning my head and seeing that the three of them had also landed safely, and making sure that there was no danger to their lives for the time being, my hanging heart was half relieved. It is estimated that the three of them also fell into a rut, although the parts on their bodies looked complete, they were afraid of internal injuries.

The giant Western Regions dung beetle failed to go ashore in order to save us, and I was pleased that the giant insect had many feet and moved quickly enough, and it was holding a few bronze chains tightly with three pairs of legs at the moment, and it was not very dangerous for a while.

But the unbelievable happened, the bronze bridge caught fire, and the fire quickly spread to the entire bridge on both sides, and then the raging flames burned all the way up along the bronze chains on the bridge railing.

Just look at the whole bronze bridge as if it was alive, like a bean worm that has just gotten off the oil pot, twisted into a ball, struggling and shaking. This scene in front of me is completely beyond the scope of my previous understanding of natural science! This fire has only been burning for a while, and the bronze object is just burning hot at most, how can it burn itself? By the light of the fire, I looked up and saw that at the end of the bronze chain, there was a huge plant in the shape of a human face, which was actually one with the bridge railing below, and it was all shaking violently consciously. It turns out that the bronze bridge itself is part of this huge plant, and the main branch vines grow almost exactly like the shape of the bronze chain. Everyone has always thought that the bridge railing and bridge bow are made of bronze, but they are not touched by hand, but the visual effect makes people fake and real, it seems to be made of metal materials, but in fact it is a rattan bridge made of bronze main branches.

If we had crossed the river by feeling the chains at the beginning, it would have been death! This is a bridge, and it is clearly the right and left hands of monsters. I looked closely, and as the beggar said, you must not look up when crossing the bridge, no matter what happens. It turned out that there were countless finger-thick branches hidden in the darkness. As soon as a creature touches the main branch, the thin branch hidden in the darkness immediately stretches down along the main branch and sneaks up, making a clattering sound that makes people mistakenly believe that a creature is crawling down. Once a person raises his head, the thin branches can be directly inserted into the person's mouth, piercing the intestines and stomach, running through the whole body, and then emptying the blood of the entire body and turning it into plant nutrients, as evidenced by so many dried corpses that raise their heads!

Countless main branches were burned off in an instant, and with a bang, the entire vine bridge fell into the underground river. There was also a crackling and burning sound in the river, and the smell of roasted grasshoppers could be clearly smelled. No matter how many bugs there are, they will all be burned to ashes. There are a very small number of five-flowered cows with fire on their bodies and desperately climb up the river bank, and they will be burned into black carbon halfway through.

The giant dung beetle in the Western Regions that saved our lives, it also knew the power of the fire, and desperately climbed up the branches. The huge plant in the shape of the face of the person above shook its entire body desperately, as if it could feel the pain of the fire. Countless main branches and thin branches were thrown by the power above, and the sky was full of fire, and then they consciously concentrated and moved closer together. This approach is amazing, and it actually tightly wraps the giant insect into a fireball. The giant worm tried its best to shake it off, but it couldn't get out. In a matter of seconds, its whole body was ignited by a fire, and with its last breath, the giant worm turned to look at me. The bug brothers must have finally fulfilled their mission and successfully completed the task of this life, and this relieved look was like saying goodbye to an old friend for the last time.

My brain was hot, and I wanted to rush over to save it, but I didn't have that ability, and if I could cut off this vine by flying, the worm would fall into the fire below, and I shouted:

"Brother Bug, don't worry, your life-saving grace, I will never forget the tombstone!"

With that, the giant insect blinked again, and the blue eyes turned from bright to dark, completely extinguished, and a huge fireball wrapped around the branches and fell into the underground river. The giant worm ended its life so heroically, and its sacrifice will be remembered by me for the rest of my life!

You waited for thousands of years in this cold and dark underground, and finally lived up to your mission, and at the cost of your own lives, you sent a few of us safely to the other side of the river. I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and I silently said:

Brother Bugs, life-savers! You have endured thousands of years of physical pain, mental shackles, and death is also a relief, and the judges below will know your merits and will not embarrass you. I hope that you will be reincarnated as an adult in the next life, and you will definitely go to a rich and noble family, with fine clothes and food, and live and work in peace and contentment. If you become an adult in the next life, I would like to be reborn as a horse and carry you all over the world! Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world and taste the life together!

I sighed with emotion, and the fire spread to the main torso of the face-like plant, and the plant shook vigorously, as if it felt unprecedented pain, and wanted to run wildly. But the roots seem to be stuck by the stone wall above the cave, and they can't escape, and they can't get out. After a while, the whole face-like torso on top of Gonggong's head burned, like a skull on fire, with a hideous face, shouting and screaming at me, and the scene was very terrifying and weird.

I wanted to ask my sister what the name of this plant was before it burned to ashes, but I turned my head to find that all three of them were leaning down to the ground and looking into the depths of the cave, and they were very fascinated by it.

I don't know if I don't look back, and I'm shocked when I look back.

By the light of the fire, this underground natural cave is very huge! Vast and magnificent! It's empty! The whole cave is like an enlarged version of the ancient Roman Colosseum, and we are in a position like a spectator in the arena, and we also buy tickets for the edge soy sauce. The sinking pit in front of you is like a huge sand table, and there are miracles built by humans in this natural cave!

The first thing that catches your eye is a dense silvery forest lined up neatly, and behind the woods there is a magnificent dungeon!

This lonely city stands on a wide wall, and it looks far away. Beneath the vast cavern, this ancient brick wall rises and falls along the dark cave walls. The city wall is high, and each of the four corners is built with a corner platform, which is square. The corner platform protrudes from the wall, and there is a corner tower that is taller than the enemy platform. The silver woods resemble rows of samurai on horseback, protecting the city from foreign invasions. The picture is familiar, isn't this just like the scene in the mural! It can be described as a wonder of the ages, and the huge pit in this underground natural cave has already made people stunned, and an underground city has been built here. Dongyi Ghost King, who are you sacred, who can open up the world under the nose of the ancient capital of Qi! This makes me feel as if I have traveled to thousands of years ago, and the hard-working and intelligent Dongyi laborers in front of me have spent countless blood, tears and lives in exchange for the underground ancient city of the prosperous Dongyi Dynasty!

The underground river burning behind it turned out to be the outer moat of the city, wrapped in a silver grove and surrounded by a square around the dungeon. As the lit dung beetles of the Western Regions roamed around, the entire moat continued to burn, like a fire dragon, revealing almost all the scenes of this underground cave.

There is also an inner city in the city, the inner city wall is slightly higher than the outer city, and there is a circular platform in the center. Although it is a bird's eye, after all, there is a silver forest between us and the city, which stretches for hundreds of meters and blocks the dungeon around it. The wall next to us is about a few hundred meters long and more than a dozen meters high. The gray city walls and the two black gates can still be seen a little clearly, but it is difficult to explain what structures and buildings are inside.

I was fascinated by this, and my sister suddenly shouted:

"Don't look at it, run, it's dangerous!"
