Thank you for the recommendation votes of the two students of MIZO Fish, and ask for another wave of collection recommendations

―――――――――――― shameless dividing line――――――――――

Even the ground at the bottom of this abyss has a hint of an unusual smell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is extremely hard, and it's black, and it feels like a cold and hard touch like dark iron.

Cui Linghong saw me frowning, handed me a few sips of water, and then explained: "I found out a long time ago, you were all lying on the ground just now, so I didn't have time to explain." The black, hard material on the ground is a meteorite, and if my guess is correct, this is the abyss that was smashed out of a meteorite a long time ago. ”

Then I remembered why this feeling was so familiar, it turned out that I had just touched a meteorite. hurriedly said to Cui Linghong: "If you say so, then it is not difficult to understand why there is such a huge ancient tomb here." It was difficult for the ancients to understand the origin of these meteorites, so they would deify them. It is believed that they were gifts from the gods to the world, and that the owner of this tomb should have been chasing this meteorite. And the idea is to try to protect this meteorite buried deep in the ground from being coveted by others. ”

"And there's also the fact that these vine plants don't attack areas covered by meteorites." Cui Linghong pointed to the vine plants above his head.

Before I could speak, I saw the fat man take out the Luoyang shovel from his bag and began to dig meteorites on the ground.

I deliberately asked him, "What are you doing?" Can meteorites also be sold for money? ”

"Damn, I'm going to smear these meteorite powder on my body, walk in these vine plants nine hundred and eighty-one times, and give them the middle finger, telling them that if they are unhappy, they will come and beat Lao Tzu!" The fat man didn't look back, and as he spoke, he struggled to chisel the meteorite on the ground.

I looked up and saw that the vine plants had joined the battle between the corpse eaters and the bats. It's just that the target of the vine plant is only a swarm of bats, which makes the corpse-eating ants that originally fell into the wind seem to come back to life, and become more fearless of death.

I hurriedly walked over and grabbed the fat man, who looked at me with an unhappy look and asked, "What are you organizing me for, do you want to get justice for these plants or what?" ”

"Not to mention, if it weren't for these plants, you two would have fallen to your death. Secondly, what do you say is that you are a big living person and a plant? And you can't use your brain? I said this, pointing to the three representatives of the battle overhead, and I knew that the fat man might not be able to understand it, so he continued to explain: "These plants only attack bat colonies, which shows that the corpse eaters can shield these plants' senses. If it's not the bronze armor on their bodies, then it must be the smell of them. So you can't save effort? Dig up your sister! ”

"Is that the smell of bronze armor or a corpse ant?" The thin monkey also came over at this time and asked.

"It's easy, you come here." I pulled the thin monkey over, picked up a bronze armor from the ground, handed it to him, and let him take the bronze armor to touch the vine plants.

The thin monkey looked greedy for life and afraid of death, shook his head again and again, and I reluctantly picked up another one from the ground and threw it towards the vine plant not far away. Sure enough, those vine plants didn't react after being hit by the bronze armor.

"Looks like so." I shook my head and picked up another piece of bronze armor from the ground. Seeing this, the rest of the people also hurriedly began to pick up the scattered bronze armor on the ground.

And at this time, due to the addition of vine plants, the battle in the canopy is getting more and more intense. As a result, countless bronze armor fell from the sky, and the place where we were was pleasantly became a place where bronze armor rained. If you stay in such a place, you will be stoned to death sooner or later.

I hurriedly beckoned the others to take refuge at the base of the big tree, which was still full of holes and branches, although it was full of potholes. I think it can provide us with a good refuge.

Along the way, we kept dodging the bronze armor that fell from the sky, and soon we passed through half of the abyss and came to the front of this towering ancient tree.

Before, I just looked at it from a distance, and I thought that this ancient tree was unusually tall. Now that we get closer, we find that this ancient tree has brought us more than just shock. I can't even find the right adjective to describe its enormity, with its unique antiquity. The moment I stood in front of it, my head went blank. As an atheist, I even remembered the theory of the Creator. I turned my head to look at the other three and saw that they all had the same expressions.

"Miracles!" Cui Linghong only spit out such a word after half a loud sound.

"Indeed!" The three of us unanimously agreed with Cui Linghong's view.

At this glance, the caves in the tree seemed to be as insignificant as just specks on the body of the big tree.

"I can't believe that there can be such a big tree in the world." The skinny monkey sighed.

"I've been to Africa before, and I've seen bread trees there, and it takes six or seven people to hug them. At that time, I was amazed that there was such a big tree in the world, but compared to this tree, the bread tree was like a bush! Cui Linghong stepped forward and stroked the huge ancient tree, and kept sighing.

As if admiring a work of art, we walked around the giant tree as we caressed it. Even the fat man, who usually has a broken mouth, followed us silently at this moment.

When we turned to the other side of the ancient tree, something unexpected happened.

A huge cavern, which occupies almost half of the body of this ancient tree, appeared before our eyes.

There were several corpses next to the tree hole, and the inside of the tree hole was pitch black and nothing could be seen. The ancient tree was so large that the occasional light from the branches looked like the corpses were more than a decade old.

Although the clothes on their bodies have decayed, they still maintain a relatively intact shape because they are sheltered from the sky and the sun and there is no wind and rain.

It looked like the uniforms worn by the army, and judging from the skeleton, the corpses were supposed to be all male corpses. I counted twelve corpses. The death was miserable, and the mouth was wide open, as if it had been greatly stimulated.

I stepped forward and stripped one of the corpses from its clothes. The clothes scattered to ash and fell to the ground as soon as I touched them. The bones inside are exposed, and there appear to be no visible wounds on the bones.

"How can there be twelve corpses here? Who are these people? Where did it come from? What is the purpose? Cui Linghong also frowned and squatted down, letting out a series of questions, carefully observing the skeleton that I had stripped off a pair of.
