With the discovery of the bronze pillars leading to the forbidden land of the gods, we struggled through the dense forest for five days, thankfully not encountering any more dangers.

The man with the scar shouted loudly in front of him, there should be something new to discover, we walked over and saw two erected wooden stakes, different from the bronze pillars we found before, the ornamentation on the wooden stakes is more elaborate and exquisite, and the top is a hollow carved three-eyed unicorn pattern.

"Didn't the priest say that the bronze pillar could take us to the forbidden land of the gods, why is this a stake, are we in the wrong place?" Liao Kai looked back and asked distraughtly.

Wen Ru and Ye Zhiqiu looked carefully around the pillar for a long time, the two wooden stakes were gray-red, the lines were staggered, the structure was very fine and uniform, light and hard.

"It's maple!" Ye Zhiqiu said excitedly to Wen Ru.

"We're looking for bronze pillars, not for you to tell what kind of wood it is." Gong Jue can seize almost any opportunity to raise the bar with Ye Zhiqiu.

"I don't understand, you don't even know what this maple means." Ye Zhiqiu was triumphant and didn't care about the palace lord.

"Maple may be ordinary in other places, but it's unusual here." Wen Ru looked excited.

"What's so special?" Tian Ji asked.

"Maple has an extremely extraordinary significance to the Miao people, the Miao people regard the maple tree as a sacred tree, extremely awe-inspiring, I remember when I was a child, there were tall maples everywhere near Liaofu, and the tree was often covered with red and hung colors, cigarette smoke, and offerings were displayed, at that time I was still a little afraid to approach, knowing that it was a sacred tree." Liao Kai stepped forward and stroked the carved maple wood, full of emotion.

Wen Ru nodded and told us that since ancient times, every time the Miao people migrate, they must first plant maple trees, and the maple trees can be planted to settle down, otherwise they will migrate to other places.

"Look at these two maple trees are more than 1,000 years old, for the thousand-year-old maple, not only is it not allowed to cut down, even if it dies, no one dares to cut it, unless it is with the permission and auspices of the priest, cut down the naturally dead maple tree, used to worship the ancestors."

"Miao people worship maple as the king, this custom originates from a legend, it is said that the leader of Jiuli Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor in the defeat of the deer, and the blood where he fell turned into a blood maple forest, the Miao people evolved from Jiuli, so in the minds of the Miao people, the maple tree is the incarnation of Chiyou, so the maple tree is divine, it is their ancestors who worship and worship the blood-stained Zhuolu for generations, the soul returns to the loess, and turns into the maple tree." Ye Zhiqiu told us like a few treasures.

"The maple tree is the sacred tree of the Miao people, but this custom should be inherited from the Jiuli people, and the maple trees that are more than 1,000 years old are not allowed to be cut down, and two thousand-year-old maples are erected here, and there are three-eyed unicorn totems of the ancestral gods of the Jiuli tribe on them, which shows that ......" Wen Ru turned his head to look ahead. We have reached the forbidden land of God! ”

"There's a way here." The palace lord crouched on the ground and brushed aside the grass, revealing a gravel slab buried in the dirt underneath. "These are all man-made, and it seems that we have really found the forbidden land of the gods."

Liao Kai was very excited, and hurriedly asked Scar to lead people along the stone path in the grass, through the dense woods, all the people in front stopped, we walked up and looked at the scene in front of us in surprise, a huge garden appeared in front of us, full of colorful purple and red.

This is probably the largest flower I have ever seen, the blooming flowers are the size of a basin, and gorgeous and gorgeous, like a beating flame, the most amazing thing is that these flowers only have two symmetrical petals, the color of the flower rises and falls, the enchanting is incomparable, the petals are high erected flower branches on both sides, the shape is extremely rare.

"This ...... What kind of flower is this? I asked Ye Zhiqiu next to me.

She also shook her head blankly, looking at the knowledgeable Wen Ru, his expression was also very puzzled, the general pulled us back and lowered his voice and said tabooly: "Things must be demons, I look at such a big flower in a panic, and you haven't noticed that there are so many flowers here but you can't smell the slightest fragrance of flowers?" ”

Liao Kai's expression was gloomy, and he probably thought that he had found the forbidden place of the gods along the stone road, but what he didn't expect to see was the bizarre garden and these huge flowers in front of him.

Liao Kai asked Scar to lead people to continue walking along the road, the stone road was blocked by the garden, and if you wanted to continue to move forward, you had to go through the garden, Scar sent three people to explore the way in front, and the general asked us to go to the rear, the girl seemed to have an inexplicable love for flowers, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to get closer and see those strange flowers.

The three people who were exploring the path found a passage in the garden, turned to us and beckoned to us to follow, and I had just taken a step and grabbed the others.

"What's wrong?" The palace lord should have seen my frightened expression and asked suspiciously.

"I ...... I just seemed to ...... It's like seeing the flower move...... I rubbed my eyes, a little uncertain.

"Nonsense, of course the flowers move, I didn't see the wind now." Ye Zhiqiu tried his best to shake off my hand. "What are you doing now, you are afraid of anything, a flower can make ......"

Cha!

Ye Zhiqiu's words were not finished, the three of them standing in front of the giant flower suddenly had different heads, and the bloody human head rolled to our feet, Ye Zhiqiu screamed and hid behind me with his hands trembling, we were stunned and looked at the person who knelt on the ground, the blood that gushed out splashed on the flower, and as the blood dripped from the petals, we were horrified to see that the strangely colored flower was really moving.

The branches that stood on both sides of the flowers slowly lowered, and all the flowers around us slowly approached us, and the corners of my mouth involuntarily squirmed, and everyone invariably stepped back, I think they, like me, couldn't believe their eyes.

It turned out to be a praying mantis!

"Magic Flower Mantis!" Tian Ji's voice was terrified.

"You've seen it, don't say it sooner." I squirmed and glared at the pheasant.

"Who has seen it, I will see one in the ear hole of the old lynx in Yunnan when I was a soldier, but ...... But it's that big. Tian Ji raised a finger and looked terrified. Thief, your mother, why is it so big here, it's going to be fine. ”

Ye Zhiqiu poked his head out from behind me and told us timidly, the magic flower mantis is known as the king of the praying mantis, the appearance is gorgeous, it can imitate flowers, the body shape is unique and the number is scarce, it is originally an extremely precious insect, but there is absolutely no magic flower mantis more than two meters high.

"It's said that things must be demons, no wonder Lao Tzu looks uncomfortable, and what the hell are you doing in a daze, running." The general raised his gun in both hands and said loudly.

As soon as we moved, those giant magic flower mantis immediately swarmed over, and Scar's people were in a mess, Scar picked up the Thomson submachine gun in his hand and shot it into the sky: "What are you panicking, no matter how big it is, it is a group of praying mantises, and the guns in your hands are used as firewood!" ”

Only then did those people react, raised their guns and fired at the Demon Flower Mantis rushing over in a panic, after all, they are flesh and blood, even if they are really evil under such strong firepower, they can't parry it, I thought they could suppress those creepy praying mantises.

Dangdangdang......

The sound of metal crashing came and went, and the magic flower mantis was not knocked down, but rushed into the crowd like a bamboo like an invulnerable bamboo, and its forearms were like two knives and axes, and the people below were divided into two in an instant, and in a moment the blood flowed in front of us, and five or six people were killed on the spot and the death was terrifying.

These magic flower mantis were not afraid of bullets, Tian Ji raised the gun for a long time without pulling the trigger, as his mouth slowly grew, the muzzle of the gun was lowered, and his voice trembled: "Helmet...... Armour?! ”

Not only Tian Ji, but each of us was shocked, these huge magic flower mantis were covered with bronze armor, the weak parts of their bodies were tightly covered, and their heads actually wore triangular helmets, except for two eyes that showed murder, the others were protected in the helmets.

"Thief, your mother, it's really a sperm, such a big magic flower mantis, and it's still wearing armor." Tian Ji was not stunned when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was probably stunned by these praying mantis in front of him.

The bullet shot at the Demon Flower Mantis's body, it couldn't penetrate at all, and at most it could only make the Demon Flower Mantis take a few steps back, but as long as the person who was approaching the scar had no power to parry, Liao Kai had already lost more than ten people in a moment.

The Demon Flower Mantis was attacked, and was completely enraged, and all his attention was focused on Scar and the people under him, the stone road that was blocked before is now unimpeded, and the general asked us to run along the road quickly, Ye Zhiqiu has been supporting Wen Ru, and there is no way I can only follow her.

Scar and his men fought and retreated, covering Liao Kai to flee with us, through the dense woods, the stone path disappeared into the edge of the cliff, and below was the abyss, a wooden bridge tied with thick vines to the opposite cliff.

I cautiously crossed the wooden bridge, Scar and his men were not left, but the invulnerable magic mantis had appeared on the other side of the bridge.

"If we let the Demon Flower Mantis cross this bridge, we will definitely die if we have no way back." I pulled out my sword and beckoned to Tian Ji and Gong Jue. "Cut the bridge before they come over."

We walked up to the bridge, cut a few knives and found that these vines are particularly hard, should have been soaked in tung oil, although they can be cut, but the magic flower mantis coming from the bridge is getting closer and closer to us, the person with the scar is not determined at all, only dare to shrink behind the bridge and shoot to stop, but to no avail, the armor on the mantis can not hurt the slightest fire.

The vine had only been cut in half, and the Demon Flower Mantis that had rushed to the front was already close to me, and when I looked up, I could clearly see the forearm inlaid with a sharp bronze blade, slashing down at the top of my head.

Bang!

With a gunshot behind me, the Demon Flower Mantis in front of me tilted its body and fell off the suspension bridge, and the blood splashed from the mantis spilled in front of me.

The general held the gun as if he was a different person, aiming and shooting and pulling the bolt skillfully in one go, and the accuracy of the marksmanship surprised me, the only thing that the Demon Emperor Mantis's body was exposed was the two eyes on its head, but the general actually pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, and the gun and gun could hit the eyes of the mantis from the gap in the moving helmet.

The praying mantis that rushed up couldn't get close to us at all, and how could the flesh and blood resist the lethality of the bullets without the protection of armor, and the general killed one when they came up, and we were dumbfounded.

"A group of eight lambs, what the hell are you doing, hurry up and cut it!" The general scolded and shot at the same time, still shooting through Yang without missing a hundred steps.

We just came back to our senses and slashed hard, when the bridge was about to break, I let the palace lord and Tian Ji go back first, I came to make up for the last knife, the general just ran out of bullets, his gun stopped, the mantis on the bridge immediately approached, I took a deep breath and slashed the suspension bridge, the mantis on the bridge fell into the abyss, but the magic flower mantis closest to me jumped high, I stumbled and fell to the ground, the mantis has jumped over the broken bridge and slashed at me.

At the last moment, the general pressed the bullet and raised the gun with one hand, and pulled the trigger with a calm face, the sharp blade was only a few inches away from me, only to hear a bang, and the mantis body fell crooked next to me.

I gasped for breath in shock, turned my head to look at the general, and suddenly found that he was so tall, and I squeezed a wry smile out of my mouth.

"Old thing, I didn't know you could use a gun."

"It's all said, it's still easy for this guy to do things." The general reloaded the bullets, still with the same expression that borrowed his grain to return his chaff. "When Lao Tzu killed the Japanese son, he didn't have you a little bastard."
