Chapter 148: Ancient Beasts
PS: Thank you Cangmeng for your tips and monthly passes. In all kinds of tired and dark situations, it was everyone's support that gave me the determination and motivation to keep writing. Thank you
Taking advantage of this moment, Yebei pushed Qin Zhen and shouted, "Hurry up!" This is most likely a strange beast created by the Guge Dynasty in the past, and if we really fight, I am not sure that I will be able to defeat it! Let's see if we can run out while it's about to break through the wall! ”
As soon as Yebei finished saying this, Fu Tianlei in front seemed to have received an order, turned around and continued to rush forward.
Qin Zhen thought about it, since Yebei had already said that he was not sure, it was better not to fight this battle. I couldn't figure out the movement of this thing just now, and I didn't dare to approach it without permission. Now that the thing is about to break through the wall, it's a good time to escape. Even if you really can't run, it's better to go back and continue to fight when the time comes.
Qin Zhen pushed Lao Gu while running forward according to Yebei's instructions. Yebei was still behind the mat, and just when he was about to catch up with Qin Zhen and them, the thing in the wall burst through the mountain rock and completely jumped out!
In the panic, Qin Zhen only glanced back in a hurry, and just that glance made him feel cold! The only thought in my head was: what the hell is that......
Most of the monster's body was wrapped in a layer of metal "armor" that was neither copper nor iron, and its head was crowned with the Buddha statue with ancient silver eyes, and its face was all wrapped in copper armor, so it was impossible to see its true face at all.
It looked like a tiger. But it's not quite like ...... Because its tail is also full of copper armor, but the length is two or three meters long!
Seeing Qin Zhen, who was panicked, Yebei pushed him violently and said, "What are you looking back at!" Whatever it is, you can't help it! Come on! ”
Having said that, these two-legged ones can't outrun four-legged ones after all. As the thing moved quickly, the sound of metal grinding against the rock was especially harsh! It was as if someone from behind was holding a machete and slashing at the wall, attacking them.
Lao Gu couldn't help but turn around, and immediately shouted, "Damn!" I'm going to meet a lion spirit or a tiger spirit, right? How can there be tigers on this snowy mountain? ”
"That's not a tiger." Yebei said in a deep voice behind him, as if he had his own inference about the "species" of that thing.
In fact, after seeing so many strange and weird things. Qin Zhen also had a hint of speculation about the thing behind him. It's just that it's too bizarre. He couldn't say for sure for a moment. The main thing is that it's too late to run for your life, and you don't have time to think about what it is.
But seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer to them, it was almost behind Yebei. Qin Zhen felt that he could even smell the rotten aura emitted by that monster. Just by virtue of this cold, rotten breath. Enough to prove. This thing is not a normal living thing. And in terms of the current distance between them. Qin Zhen also understood that he couldn't escape after all.
At this moment, Yebei suddenly lowered his waist. Then he turned sideways and stabbed the dagger back! But with a sharp sound of "bang", Yebei's dagger collided with the monster's bronze armor, and even exaggerated the sparks generated by the metal collision.
I don't know what material this monster's armor is, after Yebei's dagger went down, it just pierced a little bit. Apparently still far from its lethal position. At this moment, from the eye sockets under its "mask", you can vaguely see the fierce eyes behind the armor without any temperature!
After Qin Zhen saw that look, he subconsciously felt that the situation was not good. He grabbed Yebei and pulled it to the side, shouting loudly: "Be careful! ”
As expected, the monster suddenly roared! And the "copper tail" more than two meters long behind him swept over in an instant! Because Qin Zhen pulled Yebei away, the tail was pumped on the mountain rock at this moment, and he was stunned to cut off the Buddha statue on the rock wall! The rocks shattered and fell from the heights with a clatter.
Qin Zhen and the others hurriedly protected their heads and dodged in all directions to avoid being injured in the fall of the boulder.
Seeing that his attack had not succeeded, the monster immediately began the second round of attacks without delay! Qin Zhen and the others all thought it was strange at first, this thing's mouth was not sealed, why did it use its tail to attack the enemy? But now Qin Zhen completely understands, that tail is comparable to a white bone divine whip! If you smoke it, it's a landslide! With this guy who doesn't need it, who will open his mouth and bite like a mad dog?
Fu Tianlei, who had always been at the front, became the last one in the team after everyone turned around, that is, the one farthest away from the monster. At first, he was just observing from a distance, and even though he saw that Yebei was in such danger, he was still silently observing.
Until this moment, I saw that the monster went berserk and destroyed the entire corridor. He then walked to Yebei's side and pointed his gun at the monster. And said in a cold voice: "Yebei, you should know that this is 梼杌." We can't win. ”
After all, Fu Tianlei shot the monster's head! But the evil thing is, the monster didn't know whether it was by chance or on purpose, but tilted its head and dodged the fatal shot! Immediately afterwards, he pounced on Fu Tianlei and no longer gave him a chance to shoot!
In this process, Qin Zhen has been shocked by what Fu Tianlei said. He said it was a 梼杌...... That's really the case......
In Qin Zhen's conjecture before, he had actually thought of this strange beast. Because this monster is like a tiger and is not a normal living thing, after seeing the creatures of Wang Yu and Bai Ze, Qin Zhen is convinced that the ancient beasts legendary in the Classic of Mountains and Seas do have things.
So when he saw this extremely fierce beast, Qin Zhen subconsciously remembered one of the four legendary beasts-Han Zhu.
Aside from the fact that the father of this fierce beast is the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is clearly recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there is indeed a existence of this creature. The body is like a tiger, and the tail is eight feet long. Coupled with the armor of this monster, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a strange beast that has been armed.
Although Qin Zhen had thought of this possibility before, when he really got Fu Tianlei's confirmation now, he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked! How many mysterious and terrifying creatures are there in this world that they have never seen? Those records from ancient times have become myths and legends in the long river of time. But in these treacherous secret realms, they reappear again and again! It seems to refute and ridicule the fact that the ignorant world has made them illusory and extinct.
For this kind of strange beast, Qin Zhen knew that there was no way to resist or hurt him. So at this time, I can only follow Yebei, waiting for the opportunity to do something for this vicious battle.
Yebei saw that the slapstick was frantically biting Fu Tianlei, and he hurriedly raised the dagger again and chased after him. The width of this corridor is not large, and it is definitely impossible to toss for this huge ancient beast. The more they couldn't toss, the more it seemed that they were at zero distance from the monster.
Qin Zhen shouted anxiously at this time: "I don't understand, how can this thing appear in the Himalayas!" Does this thing mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas say that it will appear in the snow-capped mountains? Obviously not! ”
Lao Gu also pulled his neck and shouted: "What the hell/the Classic of Mountains and Seas!" Ancient mythical beasts are all this virtue? Mixed to the point of being a watchdog? What kind of person can have such a skill?! ”
Regarding Qin Zhen's incomprehensible question, presumably Yebei couldn't answer them completely. The appearance of this kind of anomaly is itself a vision. Since it is a vision, there is no way to explain it. In other words, there can be no rational explanation at all. What's more, this monster that was originally a beast of the wilderness has been decorated as a guardian beast with a very religious and regional color. This is really impossible to explain with known theories.
And Yebei had said before that even if he lived alone in the Himalayas for ten years, he would not be able to know one percent of this mysterious mountain range. There are too many mysterious and weird secrets here that the world can touch lightly.
At the beginning, the Guge Dynasty was so prosperous and glorious, but like Loulan and other places, it suddenly disappeared without a trace in one night. In addition to the desolate and majestic ruins of the building complex, only the eerie and terrifying cave of ten thousand corpses remained.
With such a strange dynasty, it seems natural to create strange creatures.
While Yebei pounced on the saki, he did not forget to learn his lesson and stab it with a dagger where it had no armor. But that's it, and the monster doesn't suffer any serious damage.
Seeing that this thing was invulnerable and invulnerable, Yebei had no choice but to entangle the monster while shouting to Fu Tianlei and Qin Zhen: "Run!" Keep running! There must be an exit ahead, and you can't spend all your time here! ”
Qin Zhen looked at Yebei, who was evading Hanji's pursuit, and was in a dilemma for a while. How could he let Yebei fight alone?
But looking at Fu Tianlei again, he didn't even hesitate at all, he directly picked up Qin Zhen and ran forward! Lao Gu and the others saw that Qin Zhen was taken away by Fu Tianlei, so they chased after him in shock.
Qin Zhen never thought that Fu Tianlei would pull him and run for his life. So at this moment, while struggling to break free from Fu Tianlei's clamps, he shouted in surprise: "You are unkind and unjust to be a turtle with a shrunken head, don't pull me!" You run your own and drag me for what! I've got to help Nightnorth! ”
After hearing this, Fu Tianlei sneered without slowing down his running speed at all: "Are you going to help Yebei?" You're holding him back, aren't you? Sue you, don't think too highly of yourself. I pulled you in, firstly because Yebei wanted me to do it, and secondly because you were still useful. ”
Lao Gu and Jiang Qi, who have been chasing Fu Tianlei, have always been left behind by Fu Tianlei although they have tried their best to catch up.
And after Yebei didn't have any worries, he also let go of the means to fight against that Hanqi! and looking for an opportunity to get out. He knew that it was almost impossible to kill this ancient beast with his own strength. (To be continued......)
