Chapter 22: It Was All Planned (Part I)
"Oh my God, this man was sucked alive with blood." Xiyang gasped.
"With a skeleton, you can tell how you died before you were born?" I asked him.
Xiyang pointed to the exposed half of the palm on the outside of the stele and said, "Look here, this person's hand has been sucked into this stele, and you look at this person's posture, at that time, he must have been struggling, but in the end he still couldn't break free." ”
I took a closer look at this skeleton, indeed, in addition to the hand that was "eaten" into the stone tablet, his other hand was supporting hard, and his legs were also showing a posture of one after the other, which was obviously pulling out something, and in fact, he must have wanted to pull out his arm at that time, but he was helpless, and in the end it was still unsuccessful.
I believed what Xiyang said, and something even weirder happened, the big stone tablet actually moved.
Xiyang and I took two steps back vigilantly, carefully observed, and it was just over a minute, suddenly, the stele was overturned by a huge force, Xiyang and I were startled, but this wave of fright was not a joke, and the next second I saw a blood-red thing like a tongue sticking out, more than two meters high.
"I'll go, what the is this."
Countless grass and mud horses were running in my heart, pulling the sun and running back, and at this time suddenly there was a gunshot behind me, and then I saw a white scurry among the trees like a hare, and a few steps in front of us, the muzzle of the gun seemed to be still smoking.
"You fired the gun?"
Jiang Yuan let out a "hmm" and turned to look in the direction of the stone stele, at this time, the big red tongue was gone.
Xiyang held a gun and pulled us to go back, I hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Yuan stood there with great persistence. "It's too late to get out." ”
"Why?" Xiyang asked.
"Do you know why the shelterbelt outside Laoyun Mountain is circular?"
I immediately realized something, turned to look in the direction I came, my heart was cold, and I was a little panicked, because there was no way.
I remember very well the direction we came. There is ankle-length water under my feet, and there is a thick layer of silt under the water layer, and the direction I saw at this time is still there, but under the water layer are pebbles of different colors, and not only that, the water is so clear and transparent that it is suffocating, because when you see the water, you will have an urge to pounce on it. Especially when you are concentrating on the pebbles underwater, there will be a feeling of grogginess.
Xiyang's hand rested on my shoulder, pressed it very hard, a sharp pain made me wake up instantly, the groggy feeling just now suddenly disappeared, and after the mind returned, I went to look at the forest again, and found that the trees in this forest were so strangely colored.
In general, no matter what the subject is, the tree is mainly green. There are dark green, light green and even dark green, which is mainly determined by the reason of the tree subject and the different growth environment. But the trees here are indeed red from the inside out.
Jiang Yuan was also suspicious of these trees, but Xiyang reminded us not to look at them, saying that these trees were fed with blood, and they had become what they are now over time.
I don't really believe Xiyang's words, because there is no such thing as a man-eating tree. Even if it existed, it wouldn't have been like some legends had said it was actually eating people and spitting out bones, but the facts soon convinced me of all this.
I don't know why, but suddenly a person broke into the forest opposite us, and this person was wearing a mountaineering suit. There is also a compass and a compass in his hands, and more importantly, this person is not Chinese.
He kept running, as if he was desperately trying to escape, and when he saw us, he ran towards us like crazy, with a big mouth and a frightened look on his face, obviously having a nervous breakdown.
The inexplicable spirit of righteousness and courage in my bones was about to explode again, and as soon as I took a step forward, I saw Xiyang blocking me behind me, and then made a look with Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan threw the backpack to me, and then helped the mountaineering rope on his waist and walked into the forest with a gun in his hand.
Because the distance is very close, and this person does have some ability, his speed is very fast, after meeting Jiang Yuan, he first grabbed Jiang Yuan's gun very beautifully turned over and fired three shots, and then I felt something shake a little, I didn't see what it was because I was standing outside the forest and the light was not enough, but when Jiang Yuan dragged this person out of the forest and came to us, I found that this person's back and buttocks were covered with leaves, Blood is also clearly visible on the surface of these leaves, and the stems of these leaves resemble blood vessels in the human body.
Sometimes, when the mind is highly concentrated, the potential of the human body can often be exploded, but when the crisis is lifted and this energy is gone, the person will immediately collapse.
This person is like this, when I saw him just now, I felt that I was just scared crazy, and there was no danger to my life, he could run so fast, it showed that his body could still support it, but when Jiang Yuan took him out of the forest and brought him to us, when everything was temporarily safe, the breath that this person had been holding on instantly dispersed.
His face was pale, his eyes circled around the three of us a few times, then he took off one of his rings and handed it to me, saying, "You are the oldest, I will give this to you, help me hand it over to my family." ”
I took the ring and looked at it carefully, it was a very special ring, the pure gold ring dragged on a piece of crystal clear jade, this jade is green, and it is the kind that is difficult to describe in words, such green is the color of life, in the moment of despair, you look at it, it will make you immediately full of desire for life.
"Please." He spoke to me in non-standard Mandarin.
I asked Jiang Yuan and Xiyang to stop the bleeding for him immediately, but Xiyang only shook his head helplessly after checking his injuries, and said, "It's not saved, and the medicine for him is only strong for a while, it can't save his life, and we don't have many medicines." ”
I was anxious, "Then you can save him too, and watch him die." ”
The man coughed twice and leaned against a large rock, the stone behind him stained red with his blood.
He looked at me and said, "You are not the same kind as them, young man, you should not have come here, but since you are here, I give you something in the hope that it will help you get out of here." ”
As he spoke, he took out something similar to a token from his pants pocket and said, "This is the Yin Soldier Talisman, if you want to enter the underground palace, you must break through the Yin Spirit Guard, and this token can allow you to evade the pursuit of the Yin Soldier." ”
Before I could say thank you, I heard Jiang Yuan ask from the side, "Why are you here, have you been in?" ”
The man looked at Jiang Yuan, his eyes were confused at first, and then turned to affirmation, and said, "Why are you here, isn't it because of us?" ”
Jiang Yuan's face turned pale and said, "Why don't you keep your promise, you act first and take your own initiative, catch me and my people off guard, and now, I can't save you." ”
The man pointed to the location of his heart, and said: "There is a letter here, someone deliberately falsely sent information to deceive us that you are trapped, so we desperately broke in to rescue them, and all of them were attacked, I avoided the slaughter because I was one step late, but I have lost my way, and I followed the compass all the way north, fortunately, I met you." ”
Jiang Yuan was silent for a while, although he didn't speak, the faint anger between his eyebrows also made people look a little frightened. (To be continued.) )
