Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Story Brought by the Demon Fox
The smoker lit a cigarette, took it, straightened up, and stood up on its hind legs, enjoying the clouds and spitting fog as it staggered from side to side like a child who had just learned to walk. Seeing its funny appearance, Xiu'er said happily, "Look, it can walk." ”
"Beauty, I've lived for more than nine hundred years, and it's not difficult to walk a few steps, but it's more tiring to move forward like this, and I generally like to walk on all fours." The demon fox replied with a smile, "You people haven't eaten or drunk for a long time, do you want to stop and rest when you get to the front?" ”
At this time, everyone had walked out of the second house, and the fat man couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but when he heard that he could eat, he was instantly interested again, but he was still a little worried and asked the old ghost, "How about it, can we stop and rest?" Could this demon fox have any intentions? ”
The old ghost was embarrassed when he heard this, "This is the first time I have seen this legendary animal, but I think that since everyone is in the same boat now, it will not want to scuttle the boat." ”
The previous wave of people really swept this place clean, except for the thick dust, each room is empty, many of the wooden items that look like bookshelves still have traces of books once placed, and the shallow dust around it means that after the completion of this ancient tomb, there are really a lot of burial goods.
It is strange that these houses built purely of wood have survived so many years of rain and magma, and they have remained in such a good state without mildew and decay. I think these pieces of wood must be priceless, but this can't be told to the fat man, otherwise he will definitely want to tear down a few of them.
Under the leadership of the demon fox, everyone keeps moving forward, to a certain extent, even I can feel that the house is slowly rotating all the time, repeating the combination, about this problem, big head, Heizi and Pang Qinghe still can't come up with a reasonable explanation if they want to break their heads, after all, the house is different from small items that can be manipulated at will, such a large volume and such a heavy weight want to move again and again, how complex the tricks need to be used, although we haven't seen it, But it must be something like a perpetual motion machine, using knowledge we don't know about the natural world to trigger it to stay motivated for so long.
Time passed little by little, everyone was a little dizzy, and the demon fox saw this and said, "Your physical strength is not good, now is not the time to stop, otherwise we have to start all over again on the road we have walked before, and we must reach the position of the yang point in one go in one go before we can rest." ”
"It's been more than three hours since I walked, and how long it will take, how do I feel like I've been going around in circles, let's just talk about this house, I can't remember how many times I've walked through it." Amu gradually couldn't bear it, and asked impatiently.
The demon fox listened to his complaints indifferently, smoking the cigarette of the smoker leisurely, and the line of movement looked like a drunken old man. It slowly puffed out its cigarette, "Now can you understand what kind of desperation it would be to walk into this tomb and see only these same houses no matter how you walked?" ”
"Hey!" Listening to this tone that Lao Tzu doesn't care what you are like and just keeps up, Amu can't help but get angry.
"Hold on for another hour and you'll be there, everyone calm down and keep going!" At this time, the smoker announced the good news coldly, knowing how long it would take to stay up was a good thing, although at this moment, I was already sore, and I just wanted to lie down on the spot. Xiu'er was also panting, sweat on her forehead was running down her cheeks, and when she saw me looking at her, she could still show a 'I'm fine' expression.
When the demon fox heard that the smoke ghost had easily revealed the mystery, he stopped saying nothing and walked forward on his own, unconsciously speeding up.
"Yo, fox, slow down, we're running out of sight!" The fat man screamed.
"Hmph, didn't you say you wanted to rest quickly? Then hurry up and keep up. There was a hint of displeasure in the words.
Pang Qinghe immediately noticed it, and said with a light smile, "Smoker, it's all because you have to reveal the mystery, it wants to tease us, but when you say this, there is no fun." ”
Sure enough, as soon as the demon fox heard that the annoying smoker was scolded by Pang Qinghe, he immediately slowed down with a smile on his face, and raised his chin towards the smoker like a show-off.
Pang Qinghe over there quietly looked at her, and as soon as the smoker heard her words, he naturally understood what he was planning, so he said apologetically, "Oh, I'm really embarrassed, I'm too smart." ”
"Goo." As soon as these words came out, the demon fox became more and more happy.
Come to think of it, no matter how many years it lives, it is still mentally the same child, eager to be praised, to be more powerful than others, and if something happens that upsets it, the dissatisfaction will immediately manifest itself. In this case, we have to obey it, after all, we have all seen the power of this hellish place, and if we really provoke it, pat it on the ass and run away, we will all be doomed.
"Hehe, since this beauty has said so, then I will accept your apology. At the same time, I'm in a pretty good mood, and there's still an hour to go, so let me tell you a story to pass the boring walk. ”
Seeing that no one objected, the demon fox cleared his throat and continued, "Presumably you humans will not be interested in the story of the animals, so let's talk about the people in that laboratory." The first time I saw them, it seemed to be more than 70 years ago, more than 40 humans suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, divided the area like animals, opened the mountain and chiseled stones, and it took nearly a year to finally build the laboratory, this year because of various accidents, it can be regarded as a lot of casualties, but the man with an exaggerated wrench didn't care at all, just found a random place to bury the dead body. And every time someone dies, more will join in the next day or on the third day. If it continues to develop, the number of people will increase. So after the laboratory was fully operational, they began to go deep into the forest, hunting all kinds of wild animals, but never killing them, always returning to the laboratory with all kinds of animals that were dying, and most of these animals would be discarded after four or five days to lure more large animals to come and forage. So, for the first 10 years, their hunting went very well, and I heard from those in white coats that they would soon progress to the human stage. ”
