Chapter 111: Unthinkable
Qin Zhen was very aggrieved by Lao Gu's choking, but he didn't say anything about Lao Gu's point of view. Such a strange-looking creature, floating inside the mountain of Mount Everest like a lonely ghost, must indeed not be a good kind.
What's more, according to the meaning of Yebei, all the terrifying and strange creatures here are the identity of a kind of guardian. So since it's a guardian, how can it be that you don't have any real skills at all? Just relying on one's terrifying appearance to scare people will not scare away outsiders. It must be in some mortal danger before it is "entrusted with a heavy task". Only in this way can you act as a guardian.
Yebei also confirmed Lao Gu's statement, and while beckoning everyone to continue walking, he said cautiously: "Remember, any species that appear in such an abnormal place will not be normal. So you have to always have a mindset towards the alien to be wary of them, and you must not take them lightly. Otherwise, you may die a miserable death. β
Although such admonitions and exhortations seemed a bit too direct and cruel, Qin Zhen knew that what Ming Yebei said was not wrong at all.
Lao Gu didn't have the heart to ask at this time: "Night Boss, a few of us are also species that appear in this abnormal place...... You say we're ......."
Before Lao Gu finished speaking, Yebei decisively continued: "It's not normal." If you are normal, you should be eating and drinking tea at home at this moment, and live the normal life of most people in this world in your bustling city. Instead of appearing in the eerie mountain cave of Mount Everest. β
The words made Lao Gu speechless. Qin Zhen also shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly. Who's to say it's not, they should be normal. How could it be in such an abnormal place?
"Boss Ye, your theory is really thought-provoking, thought-provoking, with a profound philosophical theory, and a kind of ......" Lao Gu patted his ass endlessly, but Yebei didn't listen to it at all. He looked at the pitch-black white sandalwood trees on both sides, and said, "I think these trees may be the root of the ghost mother." Maybe...... They are not black themselves, they become pitch black because of the fact that they are kept year after year. Now it seems that the trees and spiders have completely adapted to each other. β
After hearing this, Qin Zhen exclaimed: "Isn't it only poison that causes blackening, don't you tell me that these trees can be blackened like this, it's all because of the poisonous ...... of the ghost mother spider" Qin stared at him in horror.
But Yebei calmly replied: "It's possible." β
"......" Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi Lao Gu glanced at each other. All were somewhat unbelievably shocked.
Yebei continued: "You should be able to see it too. The trees occasionally glow green on the outside of their pitch-black surface. These features are indicative of highly toxic symptoms. I think you'd better stay away from the tree, and although you don't know about toxicity, you'd better try to avoid accidents. β
Everyone subconsciously moved closer to the north of the night, avoiding the trees on both sides as much as possible. Qin Zhen felt that Yebei still said it tactfully. If only this tree was what he had analyzed. It must be next to death, touching death!
Jiang Qi, who had never spoken, couldn't help but say worriedly at this time: "It's really unimaginable." How poisonous is that ghost mother spider to make so many tall trees on both sides turn black......
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Qi's words made Qin Zhen and Lao Gu both stop in shock. Because they all have a question raised by this sentence......
That is, there is no way that a single spider has the ability to quench so many trees with venom! Does that mean......
Look at the trees on either side that you can't see as far as you can see. Qin Zhen's face was like ashes.
Lao Gu pulled the night north in front of him, and counted tremblingly: "Night boss...... You see, we're just a spider and a tree...... Those 100 trees are equivalent to 100 dead faces...... Here......"
Yebei tilted his head slightly and said, "Just because there may be countless ghost mother spiders here, I didn't let you stop for a moment." β
Qin Zhen and they were taken aback! This night Bei's style of acting is really better than Yudong! It turned out that he had already counted this qiΔ in his heart, but he was afraid of bringing them unnecessary pressure and fear, so he didn't say anything. He was using practical actions to quietly lead them to escape.
Lao Gu was also a little breathless, as soon as he thought that there might be thousands of "dead faces" here, he couldn't control his feelings anymore. At this time, he said excitedly: "Night boss! Now that this place has become an encirclement of the enemy, let's stop being so calm, okay? Run!! β
After hearing this, Yebei immediately stopped: "No! Don't make a big move, just go. If you run for your life now, and wake up all the ghost mothers who have been sleeping in this forest, then even if the gods come, they won't be able to save us. β
After listening to Yebei's words, Lao Gu immediately closed his mouth. He covered his mouth and looked around in horror. It seems that even my own breath and movement are too much!
Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi were naturally extremely nervous, although Jiang Qi did not have Lao Gu's panicked uneasiness, but it could be seen from the thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead that he must be extremely nervous now.
Horror spiders with big human heads are coming all over the place, what a terrible picture it will be! Qin Zhen couldn't imagine what it would be like to be overwhelmed by those "rotten women's faces".
Although I don't know who brought these terrifying spiders here, this person's methods are inevitably a little too extreme. No matter what his purpose was, even if he really wanted to protect this cave from outsiders, he shouldn't have done such a desperate thing. If an accident happens and these spiders wake up and get out of here, it will be the result of life!
Protection is a righteous thing, but this person's reckless behavior has changed the meaning of protection itself. Of course, it is also possible that as Yebei said, that person believes in primitive religion, which is why there are these weird and terrifying "masterpieces".
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen hesitated, and finally opened his mouth and said to Yebei: "Brother Bei...... You see, if we can leave, is there any way to cut off the roots of these ghost mothers? I always feel that there is such a big hidden danger in the interior of Mount Everest, which is really terrible! β
Yebei turned his head, looked at Qin Zhen with an unexpected expression, and then smiled slightly and said, "These...... Is it the consciousness that Yuto brings to you? β
Qin Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect Yebei to ask like this. But in fact, if you think about it, although he himself has a certain sense of justice, he really can't get to Cheng DΓΉ who "cares about the common people". This kind of great love may not be something that ordinary people will have. If a small ordinary person with firewood, rice, oil and salt is worried about the safety of the people of the whole country every day...... That's definitely going to be considered a neuropathy.
But since coming into contact with Yudong, some things have probably really been passed on to Qin Zhen and Lao Gu subtly. They all unconsciously deepened a sense of purpose that they had never felt before. Maybe they are not as noble as Yudong's Cheng DΓΉ of "sacrifice one of me and make thousands of families happy", but in the current situation where they are unable to protect themselves, they still think of the terrible danger left by these ghost mother spiders in the mountains, which can already prove their change.
In Lao Gu's words, this is the soul sublimating and the consciousness improving......
Yebei smiled faintly and said, "No wonder you have become friends, maybe you both have some similarities in nature." Don't worry, I'll find a way to cut these things off when I can guarantee a safe departure. They are sleeping here, like a cooling nuclear energy source on Mount Everest, and they are in danger of breaking out at any time. β
Qin Zhen nodded again and again, and when he heard Yebei say this, he was relieved. After all, only Yebei has the ability to do this. And they, even if the soul is sublimated...... For such a task, I can only be more than willing and not enough.
At this moment, a miserable white face suddenly appeared in front of them! This sudden appearance really scared Qin Zhen and them. Especially Lao Gu, although he didn't dare to speak loudly now, when he saw the ghost mother spider, he still subconsciously took a step back, and then scolded in a very small voice: "His grandmother's!" This thing doesn't poison people, but it can also scare people to death! It's always so startled and suddenly appears! I'm going to have to catch it alive in a moment and unload it on the spot! β
Qin Zhen didn't have the heart to listen to Lao Gu's scolding now, and his two eyes stared at the ghost mother in front of him in horror. This time, the ghost mother spider didn't play the trick of "Surprise". It didn't leave again, but just hung there, in front of their eyes......
Since I couldn't see the spider silk suspended in mid-air, it really looked like a rotten dead face hanging in the air at the moment......
For the first time, I saw the appearance of this spider clearly, and it really deserves the title of "ghost mother"! Its claws seem to be weirdly twisted behind its back, so at first glance, there are no claws to be seen, only a human face-like body. This is also the reason why Lao Gu didn't expect this thing to be a spider after looking at it twice.
The disgusting folds of that body made it look as if the face was rotten. The pale color was already disgusting, and with these folds, it was a terrible feeling. If you have to describe it as a dead face, it is also a face that died in a tragic car accident. (To be continued......)
