Chapter 489: The Land of the Dead
The icy rain fell down, and the raindrops that dripped from the dust clouds had a strange gray color, and when they fell to the ground, they quickly condensed into ice particles in the low temperature of minus twenty degrees, and when stepped on them, they made a rustling sound.
Under the dark sky, a huge primeval jungle towers, some of the tall trees reach into the sky, some are thousands of meters high, and the old vines are like dragons hovering in the jungle.
This is the jungle of Africa, once one of the largest on earth, but now the sky is covered by clouds of dust, the plants are withered, the tall trees are dead, and the old vines have dried up, and there is a dead silence and barrenness.
Everything withered and withered, but what remained unchanged in this jungle was the danger that existed everywhere, and from time to time there were various howls in the dark distance, and even the earth trembled, it was a huge monster walking through the jungle.
The further you go into the jungle, the taller and more dangerous the withered trees become.
A number of burly black men quietly walked through the jungle, wearing animal skins, armed with bone clubs, bone knives, or stout iron rods and bows and arrows, and quietly advanced in the jungle.
It is common knowledge that everyone in the last days has great danger outside the wilderness, and they will lose their lives at any time, but often danger is accompanied by this opportunity, whether it is hunting mutant beasts to obtain things on mutant beasts, or discovering precious plants in the wild, it can bring great wealth to people.
There have been people who have become rich overnight because they accidentally collected a magical plant, there have been people who have discovered strange minerals and doubled their value, and there have been people who have successfully ascended to the position because of breakthroughs in life and death, in short, a huge wilderness, waiting for people to explore and discover.
A black girl in leather armor, tall, long-legged, big-breasted, full-bogged, full of wildness, her figure walked through the tall trees like a ghost, walking silently, without making any sound, from time to time making various gestures behind her, reminding her companions to follow.
Suddenly, the black girl stopped, half-crouched on a huge dead branch, her dark skin was the best disguise, and it was as difficult to find as if she were invisible in the gloomy world.
As she carefully recognized what was ahead, her eyes flashed with deep unease and fear.
In front of them, in the cold air, a faint black mist filled the air, and under the dark sky, it was not discovered at all, if it were not for the best people in ten miles, it was easy to ignore and break into the faint black fog, and then, the result was death!
That black mist is a terrible toxin, and if you take a little breath, the consequences will be unpredictable!
The deeper the faint black fog became, the thicker the black fog became, and at the same time, a white skeleton was hidden in the jungle, which was the end of rashly breaking into the black fog area, with human bones and monster bones.
The black girl quietly retreated with fear, came to her companions and said in the native language: "We cannot go forward, if we go any further, we will enter the edge of the land of death, we must take a detour or retreat"!
When the four words of the land of death came out, the bodies of the dozen or so black people present all shook subconsciously, the people who lived on this land, no human department knew the horror of the land of death, a hundred people went in, and two or three could come out It was already the favor of God.
"Retreat, or take a detour, or we'll all lose our lives in vain," said one of the strong black men with a bone knife in his hand, and even if he had the strength to be close to the king's level, he would not dare to set foot in the land of death.
"However, there is not much food for our tribe, many people are hungry, and some people are sick, and there must be a harvest in exchange for food and medicine, otherwise our tribe will be wiped out in history," someone frowned and said with deep concern.
"Then we can't lose our lives here, we are the hope of the tribe, if we die, there will be no real hope for the others," sighed the strong black man with a bone knife.
Their tribe is not big, only about a thousand people, living in a dark cave, people with strong combat power will come out to look for food and precious things in exchange for the materials of the tribe's life, people with no combat power can only wander around the tribe to find something to eat, for several years, there are very few people around the tribe who can find food, often hungry not to mention, once sick, death is the inevitable end.
Originally, they still had two ways to go, one was to migrate and leave to find another place to live, and the other was to go to the big city to seek a chance to survive, but no matter which one is very difficult, if you migrate, you don't know where to go, what dangers you will encounter on the way, and going to the big city is not as beautiful as you imagined.
"Look, what is that"? In the midst of the indecision, someone pointed to the front and said with a look of surprise.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, all stunned, then ecstatic, and then frowned at a loss, hundreds of meters away from them, in an inconspicuous stone crevice, there was a blood-colored flower, the size of the bowl, emitting this faint blood-colored halo, very faint, not paying attention to it at all.
"Bloodhalo Flower! It is one of the important materials for the manufacture of limb repair potions, even if it is eaten directly after processing, as long as it is not a broken hand or foot injury, it can be quickly recovered, if it is made into a potion, with other materials, it can regenerate limbs after taking it, and one flower is worth 30,000 gold", someone exclaimed in a suppressed voice.
Everyone looked at the words with burning eyes, their eyes were fanatical, once they got which flower, exchanged for money, they could go to the city dozens of miles away to buy food and medicine, enough to support their tribe for half a year's survival!
"However, the Blood Halo Flower grows in the Land of the Dead, and although it is only on the edge of the edge, the poisonous mist is not something any of us can afford," someone said with a wry smile.
"What to do"? Someone asked.
"Be sure to get the Flower of Blood Halo"!
After the silence, the black girl who had served as a waiter before said as if she were dead: "I'm going to collect the Blood Halo Flower, my speed is fast, a distance of several hundred meters, I can come back in four or five seconds at most, it should be fine in such a short time."
"No, that kind of poisonous fog is not something that can be resisted by holding your breath, even if it is contaminated with your body, it will be poisoned"!
"It's okay, I'll activate the energy in my body to form a protective shield outside, and in a few seconds, I'll be back before the poison gas corrodes the protective shield"
After some conversation, the people who were unwilling to give up the blood halo flower could only let the fastest black girl pass, among them, only the black girl and the black strong man with the bone knife had the combat power of the feudal level, only the two of them could stimulate the energy, and the others only had the life level of the warrior level at most, and they would die if they entered, while the black strong man was slow, so the burden could only fall on the black girl.
After discussing, the black girl took a deep breath, her body flicked on the tree, flew out like a sharp arrow, and quickly galloped towards the place of the blood halo flower, when she entered the faint black mist area of the land of death, the air outside her body trembled, and a layer of white energy appeared, isolating the poisonous mist from contaminating her body.
However, everyone underestimated the terrible black mist, when the black girl's energy appeared, the poisonous mist was like a scorching flame burning ice and snow, and the energy outside her body quickly dissipated, and it would soon be contaminated with her body, and then the consequences would be unimaginable!
The black girl also knew this, but she gritted her teeth and did not quit at the first time, but continued to sound as if she were at home, and in less than two seconds, she came to the lace of the blood halo under the pressure of the poisonous mist, and reached out to pick it.
But in an instant, a hideous figure appeared on the lace of the blood halo, and the black girl didn't even have time to say a word, she was swallowed by the terrible and hideous black shadow, and in the click of rejection, blood dripped down, and the black girl was devoured clean!
"No, ......", the others who saw this scene in the distance immediately exclaimed, extremely sad, because they did not pick the blood halo flower, because their companion was one less, because their tribe had one less strong support.
When the exclamation was over, everyone was terrified again, on the edge of the blood halo, a hideous and huge monster appeared, a python with a head as big as a car, covered with cold and black scales, at least a hundred meters away, a veritable behemoth, that amazing aura made people frightened.
"Black armor poisonous python, everyone go quickly", the black strong man at the feudal level reacted immediately, not to take revenge, not to snatch the flower of blood halo, but to escape!
They have already lost one of their companions, they can't afford to lose any more, and although they still have a fight, they will die more people, and if they fight, they will attract other monsters, and when the time comes, they will be wiped out, and they will have to flee!
Crackling...... sound of trees breaking, the huge black python rushed out like a dragon, and the withered trees along the way were broken by its huge body, and quickly rushed towards these black people.
"It's too late, let's fight"! The black strong man roared in horror, and instantly rushed towards the black python with a bone knife in his hand, and the bone knife slashed down, with amazing power, splitting the air into twisted ripples.
However, the black python was even more terrifying, its tail was like a steel whip and a patrol twitch, and with a muffled sound, the black strong man was pulled out with a knife, crackling and smashing several big trees, and after landing on the ground, the black strong man spat blood and looked desperate.
......, an arrow flew out, tearing through the air with a piercing sound that pierced the eardrums, but the arrow was enough to pierce the rock and nail into the python's body, and not even a single scale could penetrate it!
The giant python opened its hideous mouth and pounced on a black young man who was already frightened, in front of that terrible mouth, although the black young man was close to two meters tall, it was still not enough for the other party to swallow in one bite!
A white shadow appeared out of thin air on the head of the black python, a young man with white hair dancing wildly, and he appeared so suddenly that all the black people did not see it, not even the terrible python.
The young man stood on the head of the giant python, a little on his toes, and the huge black python's head smashed to the ground as if it had been smashed by a meteor.
"Guys, can you understand me? How far is it from the land of the dead"? Huang Yi stood on the head of the giant python that was already dead, but his huge body was still subconsciously twisted, looking at the stunned few black people and asked.
The language he used at this time was the native African language used during the recent exchange with the Ummah, and it was obvious that this language was very 'popular' in the land of Africa, and all the blacks present could understand it.
Among them, the strong man who was the first to react was pulled out by the tail of the giant python flew over, looked at Huang Yi with great respect in the same language and said: "Dear lord, thank you for saving us, please let us make the highest blessing to your kindness first, I'm really sorry, we are very poor now, and we can't afford anything to thank ......."
"I just want to ask how far this place is from the land of death," Huang Yi interrupted.
The black strong man looked at Huang Yi, bent down slightly and pointed behind Huang Yi and said: "Honorable lord, behind you is the edge of the land of death, the past few hundred meters are covered with poisonous fog, and it is already the place of death."
"Well, well, you guys get out of here quickly, it's dangerous, I already feel that more than a dozen mutant creatures as powerful as this python are about to come", Huang Yi nodded and nodded to a few black people who were already sluggish.
"Thank you, ...... adult", before the black strong man finished speaking, he found that Huang Yi had disappeared.
Suddenly, they looked at each other, thinking that they were dreaming, the last moment they were full of despair, and the next moment the thing that made them desperate was already dead, if it weren't for the huge body of the python, they really thought they were dreaming.
Just when they were stunned, Huang Yi appeared again, holding a blood-colored flower the size of a bowl in his hand, with a faint blood-colored halo on the flower, and threw it to the other party and said, "Do you want this flower?" Take it and leave quickly, well, if you can take this python with you, take it with you, and stay here to become food for other monsters!"
After saying this, Huang Yi disappeared again, this time he really left, and went to the depths of the land of death.
Although what happened to the black people present just now was incredible, but they reacted quickly, put away the blood halo flower, several people looked at each other, grabbed the dead python corpse, and quickly left, although the living python is extremely terrifying, but the dead python, even if the body is 100 meters long, it is only a dozen tons, it is not difficult for them to take it away, and after bringing it back, this python is enough for their tribe to eat for a while......
Entering the land of death, the faint poisonous black fog was a fatal thing for the previous blacks, but for Huang Yi, there was nothing at all, and a slight shock of vitality prevented the poisonous mist from contaminating himself.
"Is this the place of death? It's really terrifying, although it's only the periphery, but this kind of poisonous fog is no longer something that people below the monarch level can afford, it can be said that it will die, and the deeper it goes, the more intense the poisonous fog becomes, I can't imagine what the center will look like, but this is a challenge, but the ministry knows if Ding You has come, maybe he is hiding somewhere, killer, the strongest means is never to fight, but to hide, and the hidden killer is the most terrifying, especially the moment of shooting, represents the beauty of death"!
Walking through the poisonous jungle, Huang Yi secretly said to himself in his heart, Uma said that the center of the Land of the Dead is actually a valley, and at this time, there are tall dead trees everywhere, and it seems that there is still a long way to go from the center.
This is worthy of the so-called land of death, only dozens of miles deep into the land of death, Huang Yi felt that the poisonous gas here was at least five times higher than that of the periphery, and this was still without knowing how far away the center was.
Moreover, in his perception, the entire jungle is full of large and small poisonous snakes, some hidden in the rotten soil, some disguised as dead vines, some entangled in big trees, some hidden in underground caves, snakes everywhere, large and small, snakes of all colors!
This is the home of snakes, this is the sea of snakes, just entering the land of death for dozens of miles, Huang Yi felt that there were only tens of thousands of snakes of all sizes, the small ones were only a few meters, and the big ones were thousands of meters in size!
However, when he entered the nest of snakes in the land of death, none of the snakes approached him, not because he was too strong and those snakes did not dare to come, but before he came, Huang Yi brought something special to deal with snakes.
Realgar, this kind of snake is extremely annoying, although it can't really kill the snake, but the smell of realgar is unbearable for any snake, smelling the smell of realgar, big and small snakes don't want to attack Huang Yi, it's okay if they don't take the initiative to escape.
Huang Yi's realgar doesn't actually have any taste, but it is more effective than any realgar, because the realgar he brought is strengthened and processed by him, before he came, he bought a hundred catties of realgar powder, each catty was pinched into a round ball for strengthening, and finally got a piece of strengthened +10 realgar, without any taste, in addition to the basic effect of realgar has been strengthened, with a special effect, snake repellent, almost no snake will approach him on the body, and, once faced with snakes, The combat power of snakes has to be reduced by two layers!
Since he came here, it is impossible for Huang Yi to prepare, he will not be arrogant, he feels that he is already strong to the point where the world can go, and he will definitely not ask for hardship if he can save effort and relax.
For others, in addition to facing the terrible poisonous fog when entering the land of death, they also have to be careful of all kinds of poisonous snakes everywhere, but for Huang Yi, with the male yellow, the snakes will not take the initiative to attack him, the only thing to face is the poisonous fog.
As it went deeper and deeper, the poisonous fog in the air became more intense, and after a hundred and ten miles, the poisonous fog was no longer faintly black, but showed a pitch-black color, twisted one by one, in such an environment, there were not even many dead trees, and the poisonous fog turned into powder and rotted on the ground.
When he arrived at this place, in the face of such a severe poison, Huang Yidu had to be a little serious, and the vitality outside his body was swallowed, forming a transparent vitality shield to resist the invasion of the poisonous mist.
Walking further in, the black poisonous mist began to change color, turning into a faint green, as it went deeper, the green poisonous mist began to deepen, in this area, there were no more plants, all of them were bare, and there was occasional stagnant water on the ground, all of which emitted this faint green light, which had actually eroded everything in this world.
"It is worthy of being the land of death, this is already a highly poisonous world, in this position, most of the monarch-level powerhouses are no longer able to survive, and I am a little reluctant, I am afraid that only king-level powerhouses can be safe and sound, however, all things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing, and where there is poison, there are often things that resist poison ......."
Standing in the green poisonous mist area, Huang Yi no longer moved forward, but looked around, and when he saw a huge green python coiled on the ground, his eyes lit up, and he galloped over without hesitation.
The green python, like the legendary cyan, coiled on the ground, the thick body is already comparable to a train, when Huang Yi passed, the green python's head was raised high, more than ten stories high, the snake was swallowed, and his eyes looked at Huang Yi coldly.
"This monarch-level python can't even speak? I remember that the original snake girl was already able to speak......", Huang Yi said secretly in his heart when he flew towards the green python, but as soon as he thought of the snake girl, he thought of the picture of Zhao Xue's death, and stopped thinking about anything else.
Of course, he didn't come specifically to deal with this green snake, but to coil it into a circle, and the plant in the center of the green snake was like an emerald-like plant.
The leaves are like orchids, but they are as clear as emeralds, and there is a faint halo, and not only that, but in the center of that small plant, there is also a fruit the size of a fist, as bright as a diamond.
Hisss ......
As Huang Yi approached, the frequency of the cyan snake letter became faster and faster, but the body was constantly twisting, looking very uneasy, of course, not because he was afraid of Huang Yi, but because Huang Yi had something on his body that made him extremely annoying.
"I thought you would run, but it seems that this plant seems to be very important to you, but if I want it, then I'm sorry", Huang Yi said secretly in his heart when he crystallized the green snake.
Reaching out and grabbing it in the air, he breathed his vitality, formed a big hand, pinched the head of the green snake and shook it, and with a snort, a monarch-level green poisonous python was pinched to death by Huang Yi.
didn't forget that he had repaid a thousand debts, Huang Yi didn't waste the energy crystals in the head of this monarch-level mutant python, and only went to pick the brilliant fruit after putting it away.
After getting close to the magical plant, Huang Yi smelled a very comfortable fragrance, which was simply a miracle in the highly toxic area, especially around the fruit, within a radius of 100 meters, the violent green poisonous mist was never approached, so it can be seen that the magical plant must be a highly poisonous thing.
But just as Huang Yi was about to pick, a black shadow appeared out of thin air, rushing towards the plant as fast as possible...... (To be continued.) )
