The fire of July is not this hot weather, but Mars far away from the river. But what does this have to do with the sexagenary branch?

I was about to ask. Shi Lingren suddenly covered my mouth, and Hu Qinglan said softly at the same time: "There are voices!" ”

Could it be the rescue team brought by Sister Xiaomo?

We followed the sound of one cliff after another, Hu Qinglan walked in front, the surrounding bushes brushed by, and from time to time jagged leaves scratched her arms and face, but these jagged leaves did not hurt Hu Qinglan at all. After strengthening the White Tiger bloodline, her body has enough ability to resist blows, and these sawtooth teeth are not enough to hurt her. Even Hu Qinglan's physique, after the baptism of the White Tiger God, has become more resolute, and the flesh and skin all over her body have become more compact and strong.

The effect is much stronger than the four great evil arts in Asia!

After trekking through mountains and rivers, the source of the sound finally appeared.

As soon as I got to the place where the sound came from, I froze again: what a big forest.

According to the sunshine law, this should be the core of the mangrove forest, and at a glance, the dense trees are extremely high, and it is almost impossible to see the trees below thirty or forty meters. There are even many trees that are more than 100 meters tall, and the canopy is a mile wide. And on these giant trees, from time to time, you can see colorful snakes hanging from the branches. These snake repairers are also as thick as the mouth of the bowl, seven or eight meters long. And the thick one is like a bucket, coiled on the body of the tree, and it is thirty or forty meters long. Moreover, from time to time, these snakes spew out a colorful mist, filling the air with a sticky, sweet smell! Others had flames burning and spitting snake letters from their mouths, which looked like pillars of fire that were spewing out three or four meters. The whole mountain is covered with forests, and no matter which direction you go, you have to walk under these snakes. According to the volume of these snake cultivators, we are afraid that we will be swallowed as a snack, and I can't be careless to face these snake cultivators, and the snake medicine on Shi Ling's people is no longer as effective as those ordinary poisonous snakes.

Hu Qinglan pinched it in front of me and told me that this was to close my nostrils and eardrums, and Hu Qinglan herself ...... Even the pores all over her body were closed by her.

The question is...... These guys don't seem to be blind like the descendants of thousands of years later, why do I know? I didn't see the snakes staring at us tightly, and the yellow eyes were like big lanterns. Some of the snakes began to swim slowly, adjusting the position of their bodies.

The question is, why do we have to be guarded by you?

Then I found fresh footprints...... and bloodstains. And the victims.

It was a village girl dressed as a woman, and she hurried to the front, apparently the main contributor to the scream...... One of them, because the shotgun in his hand also screamed because of a certain non-mainstream youth...... It seems that I have seen it in Longtan Village, and at this moment, there is no manly "immortal tree!" Immortal Tree! ”

What screamed non-stop, and not far behind them lay the stall owner's wife, who was wearing heavy makeup, but her face was dark at the moment, and she couldn't wake up. There was another man beside her, who was tightly entangled in a branch, the stall owner, and the branch seemed to have eyes, and countless whiskers were inserted from all over the man's body like tubes. The stall owner's face was covered with a layer of black water, which seemed to have a corrosive effect, corroding the man's face to the point that it was no longer visible...... If it weren't for being too impressed, I would almost never have recognized it!

How did these people get here?

I saw the strange appearance of this branch, I didn't dare to get close, and directly shot to break the branch that was entanglement with the man, but I saw that the branch continued to emerge from the broken place with red juice, and this red juice was actually full of blood, I realized that this red juice was actually the blood of this man, and it was being sucked by this branch......

First the killing vine, then the vampire tree?

But at this moment, a huge wind sounded, and then a black shadow swept down from a nearby tree with a strong fishy smell and rushed towards the village girl

The speed of the black shadow was extremely fast, and as soon as the village girl let out a miserable scream, she lost her voice. It was a snake with a diameter of more than ten meters, with two wings on its back, one of its heads the size of a car, two blood-red eyes like two red lanterns, and black scales: a creature that could suffocate people by its terrifying appearance alone!

Its long body was tightly wrapped around the village girl's body, the village girl's face was full of horror, her eyes turned upward, her mouth was wide open, but she didn't make a sound. I know that this is because the snake's body is tightly wrapped around her, squeezing all the air out of her lungs, and it is because of this that she can't even scream. The long letter in the snake's mouth kept stretching and contracting, and its red eyes looked coldly at me and Shi Lingren and others, and then opened its mouth wide, and bit the village girl's head fiercely, swallowing it in one gulp, and the bright red blood instantly flowed down from the snake's head, dripping on the ground drop by drop......

I was hot-headed, and in front of me, people were already in mid-air.

It's out of the Yin God again!

According to Shi Ling and Hu Qinglan, Yin God and Yang God are a kind of realm in the evolutionary route of self-consciousness, which is a collection of metaconscious, subconscious, explicit consciousness or three souls. A clear mind, the soul is not dispersed, like a dream like a shadow, it is similar to a ghost, this yin god also. Reborn, there is a body outside the body, gathering is formed, and scattering is qi, this is the yang god; Strictly speaking, the cultivation realm of the Yin God in terms of consciousness is not difficult to achieve in earnest cultivation under the conditions of having the correct method. It is also smooth to say that it is smooth. Those who have the Wisdom Root Immortal Fate, and even after a few days of preparation, the individual has successfully achieved the Yin God after only one morning of retreat at home.

The power of this route is less affected by the rules of rolling red dust. At the same time, being influenced by the collective unconscious is outrageous. Especially in this collective unconscious, where matter determines consciousness, in the absence of a special medium, the effect of pure consciousness interfering with matter is basically better than nothing.

I have to admit that the suppression of pure consciousness in this materialist world is indeed outrageous. Even if an individual achieves a Yin God, pure consciousness still has no ability to interfere with those dead things. Therefore, in history, those so-called Dan Dao masters were engaged in and around, and their abilities were still limited to influencing various consciousness bodies, lacking physical attack and defense methods. Fortunately, human beings, who dominate the world, have always been conscious carbon-based creatures. So they can influence the higher-ups, but when it comes to the battlefield, they play a very small role, and the more modern it is, the more so.

And then...... I was pulled back by Shi Lingren's call, Hu Qinglan looked at us strangely, and said seriously: "It seems that something has happened outside, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for help to come...... Moreover, don't you see that those snake cultivators are wise? They are deliberately catching and releasing Cao and using these survivors to attract rescue teams! We are on our own! ”

I said incredulously, "Is there wisdom in cultivating snakes? ”

Hu Qinglan sneered: "Don't forget their ancestors, but they come from outside the sky!" Even the first cultural achievements of mankind are related to them, the all-encompassing "Book of Changes" that constantly shows a sense of existence along the way, "Yi" means to be flexible, to change, to be reborn. ”

Shi Ling sighed, yes, although the appearance is similar to that of a reptile, but don't forget that this race has experienced a high degree of evolution in civilized society. It is important to know that as far as the entire race is concerned, the process of civilization evolution is: (1) the local planetary race→ (2) the galaxy race→ (3) the cosmic race, that is, the ultra-high-energy race. The first type of local planetary race - can only control the civilization of the own planet, the scope of activities is limited to the local planet, that is, the planet, can use the mineral deposits and water power of the planet, there are planting agriculture, animal husbandry, etc., there are preliminary industries, military defense, etc. This was the case with the people of the earth 100 years ago. Before the planetary races could use radio, they were called low-level civilizations. Because it can only wait to be discovered by aliens, and it cannot discover others by itself. At the same time, while creating a rich modern civilization, it has also triggered a serious crisis of modern survival.

As early as before the birth of human beings, natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, droughts, wind disasters, and thunder and lightning existed. At that time, however, these divine wars were the driving force behind the evolution of life and the birth of human beings. During the period of the earth's divine war, the earth's outer space was once surrounded by a thick atmosphere, and there was no hard crust on the earth's surface, let alone the sea, rivers and lofty mountains, just like the moon today, which was so monotonous and dead. At that time, asteroids, comets, meteors and other small celestial bodies in the solar system would often take advantage of the gap to bombard the earth, thus triggering volcanic eruptions again and again, causing magma overflow.

It is precisely because of the earth-shaking divine war that has lasted for 1 billion years that a large amount of gas has been released from the depths of the earth, which has been continuously replenished into the outer space of the earth until the primordial atmosphere surrounding the earth is gradually formed; It is precisely because of the eruption and condensation of a large amount of magma that the hard lithosphere on the surface of the earth is slowly formed; It is precisely because the water vapor released from the interior of the earth condenses into water droplets in the atmosphere and falls back to the ground that the prototype of rivers, lakes and seas is formed, and the primitive hydrosphere, known as the "source of life", has developed on the earth. At the same time as the prototype of the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere on the earth was formed, lightning and rumbling thunder created the basic rafters of life in the atmosphere, amino acids. These living substances fall to the earth with the rain that falls from the sky, and flow into the rivers and seas, where they survive and grow under the protection of the marine water bodies. In short, without a series of earth-shaking divine wars in the 1 billion-year-long astronomical period of the earth, there would have been no birth of life and the emergence of an earthly space suitable for life. More than 3 billion years ago, after the earth entered the geological period, the seeds of life produced in the astronomical period developed and grew under new geological conditions. These seeds of life have endured billions of years of catastrophe and are not extinct, but are still evolving. According to the results of the Banshen War, the continental plates continued to divide, drift, and collide, and on the stage of the planet where people lived later, an epic long drama of the magnificent boiling of hundreds of rivers and the removal of mountains and reclamation was staged. Polar shifting and orogeny have brought volcanic eruptions and earth trembling again and again; A succession of co-workers invaded and retreated, bringing about global flooding and glacial downfall. This kind of large-scale geological change of mountains and rivers and vicissitudes of the sea is nothing less than a catastrophe for life on earth. However, it is precisely in these divine wars that batches of organisms that cannot adapt to the environment have been extinct and eliminated, and batches of organisms that can better adapt to the new environment have emerged and developed vigorously. In a certain sense, divine warfare is one of the driving forces for the development of the earth and the natural world. The Quaternary of the Cenozoic Era, 200~3 million years ago, was an epoch-making century for the birth of mankind.

However, the birth of human beings is also closely related to the battle of gods on earth. Man evolved from Australopithecus, and one of the driving forces behind the rebuilding of civilization was the orogeny in the Himalayas and the Alps as a result of divine warfare. Due to the rise of these two youngest mountain ranges on the earth, the entire atmospheric circulation situation has changed, and the global climate abrupt change and temperature plummeting caused by the divine war ushered in the global Quaternary ice age. The rise of the Himalayas and the encroachment of glaciers have served as the "birth wife" of human beings. As the civilization of the ancient gods shrank and withered, one of the apes bravely stepped out of the shelter where they had lived for generations to find a new way to live. This objectively accelerated the evolutionary process from ape to man. To sum up, we can see that it is the sudden changes or divine wars in nature such as storms, lightning strikes, and earth shaking that shape the earth in the solar system and the life, creatures, and humans on it. However, just after the birth of human beings, these ancient gods who were unwilling to retire became alien forces that threatened human life and property, became a factor that destroyed human existence, and became an existential crisis. In other words, an existential crisis is for people, and there is no existential crisis if there is no one. From ancient times to the present, how many people have lost their lives due to existential crises, and how many cities have disappeared from the earth due to existential crises. In the past 100 years alone, more than 20 cities around the world have been destroyed in existential crises. The object of the existential crisis is human beings and society. Although there are countless cities that have been destroyed by existential crises throughout history, and the number of people who have lost their lives in existential crises is uncountable, humanity has not been extinct because of this, and there are more and more cities in the world. It is precisely through existential crises that human beings continue to accumulate experience and learn lessons to become smarter. In particular, human beings have mastered science and technology, constantly exploring and understanding the laws of nature, and using them to resist the ancient gods for the benefit of mankind. However, it is worth noting that as far as modern society is concerned, every place and every country is now in an open system, and it cannot be completely isolated from the world, and there has never been any "paradise" on the earth that is free from disasters and disasters. The technology system is strong and fragile. The power that has weakened the Old Gods still poses a threat.

Even the Grim Reaper is with us. From ancient times to the present, floods, droughts, volcanoes, and earthquakes have threatened the survival of mankind. In order to survive, the humans of the australopithecus chose the place to live and the food they chose; In order to survive, human beings fight with the heavens and with the gods. After a long period of ancient god civilization, the apes became humans, tribes became states, and society finally underwent great changes. Since the beginning of the last century, the world's total population has increased from 1.625 billion in 1900 to 5.284 billion in 1990, and the world's gross domestic product has soared from $0.6 trillion in 1900 to $22.2 trillion in 1990. Due to the rapid development of productive forces, human society has become more and more prosperous, providing rich material and spiritual wealth for human beings themselves. However, the existential crisis has not been far away from us, on the contrary, it has become larger and more varied, more frequent, and the damage caused is more and more serious. Although we are now in the information age, 70% of the world's urban dwellers, or 1.8 billion people, still breathe unhygienic air. At least 800 people die prematurely every minute due to air pollution. Every year - 56 million tons of carbon dioxide are emitted into the atmosphere, most of them through the use of fossil fuels and the incineration of tropical rainforests. Every year - at least 15,000 people, most of them children, die from diseases caused by unsafe water. Every year - more than 500 million pounds of fish and shellfish are caught from the world's rivers, lakes and seas, enough to fill 630,000 refrigerators. -- More than 12,000 barrels of oil spilled into the world's oceans, enough to fill 25 swimming pools. About 38 million tonnes of garbage were dumped from the ship into the sea. -- 180 square miles of forest disappeared. As many as 140 species of plants, animals and other organisms have gone extinct, mainly due to the destruction of forests. -- 63 square miles of land barren due to overgrazing and wind erosion. The world's farmland has lost about 66 million tonnes of topsoil. • Nearly 400,000 tonnes of chemical fertilizers are used around the world to produce more food from degraded farmland. -- Countries around the world produce about $55 billion in goods and services. -- Nearly 140,000 new vehicles of various kinds have joined the long queue of 500 million cars already on the highways of countries around the world. -- The world's 433 commercial nuclear reactors generate about 5 percent of the world's energy consumption and produce more than 20 tons of nuclear waste. -- Military expenditures of countries around the world amounted to more than $2.5 billion; Spending on family planning was $12 million. After the opening of the second child - 450,000 more are born every day, including 340,000 in Asia, 75,000 in Africa, 22,000 in Latin America and 13,000 in other regions. Nowadays, the global population problems, environmental problems, resource problems, and frequent natural survival crises that everyone is concerned about are the results of a new round of mass extinctions in nature, resulting in people's lives and social wealth being constantly swallowed up by existential crises. I don't know how many natural disasters there are. How much divine punishment?
