Chapter 18 Mountain Boy

"Holy! What the fuck is this! Gao Peng roared.

After Ryazan dragged the monster out of the tree hole, he waved his arm and pressed the monster directly to the bank of the stream. He frowned, and hurriedly retracted his hand, stepped on the body of the thing with his foot, and then put his hand into the stream and washed it twice.

I saw that the thing seemed to be very strong in the tree hole just now, but as soon as it was dragged out by Ryazan, the sunlight shining outside suddenly became sluggish, and it actually let out a "hiss" wail.

Gao Peng had never seen this kind of thing, which was normal, but as soon as I saw this thing, I immediately thought of Jiang Daolin who was soaked in the fish tank. It's just that this thing is still a little different from Jiang Daolin, the most prominent point is that its body is almost completely transparent like a jellyfish, and the organs in the body are clearly visible. The body of this thing is very thick, although the traces of limbs can still be faintly seen, but the whole body has completely become a snake-like form, the only difference is that this thing has not yet grown scales. Look at the face of the thing, the size is no more than the size of a palm, there is no hair, and the whole head shows a bare triangular shape, but although the facial features are blurred, it is definitely a human face.

Gao Peng saw that no one paid attention to him, and he was even more worried, so he shouted: "Hey, which of you two give me a word, what the hell is this, I drank that water just now, I won't be poisoned, right?" ”

Ryazan raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Peng, shook his head, and sighed: "Fierce and auspicious, you look at this ghost thing, say that it is not poisonous, can you believe it?" ”

As soon as Gao Peng heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he sat on the ground, and he lost his temper when he landed, and said stumblingly: "My God, isn't it, I was poisoned before I started the expedition?" After speaking, he looked at Ryazan again, and his tone suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and said respectfully: "Ryazan, ah, no, Brother Liang, what are the symptoms after this poisoning?" ”

Ryazan didn't even look at him, pointed to the monster on the ground, and said coldly: "It's become the same as it." ”

"Huh?" Gao Peng let out a desperate cry and said, "Change, become like it? Then you might as well let me die. Look at it, even the little brother doesn't know where he went, is there any way to save it, Brother Liang, I am a child in my life, and I don't want to graduate before enjoying the joy of life. ”

Ryazan smiled: "Let's take one step at a time, it's really not good, you can ask Master Peixi's girlfriend, she may be able to save you." ”

As soon as Ryazan's words fell, Gao Peng immediately ran to Bu Jin's side to ask long and short questions, begging bitterly, but Bu Jin did not have any expression on his face, looking at Gao Peng's appearance, he seemed to be very confused.

Seeing Gao Peng walking aside, I couldn't help but ask Ryazan: "Hey, he's my good buddy, don't you die and don't save him." ”

Ryazan looked at me, suddenly showed a wicked smile, and then said to me: "My Lord Peixi, you are still so naïve, why should I save him, he has nothing to do at all." ”

"Huh?" I was surprised, "Didn't you say he would turn into this monster?" ”

"That's for him." Ryazan smiled: "I see that kid always looks restless, so I can't help but scare and scare him, so that he doesn't have to provoke me again, hehe." ”

I pour! The heart said that it is really easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and Ryazan's character does not forget to ridicule and have fun no matter what the situation is, and he always looks like an optimist.

But we didn't have time to talk nonsense, I saw that the monster on the ground had become dying, and my breathing had become very weak, so I asked, "This thing is very similar to Jiang Daolin." ”

"It's basically the same breed." Ryazan said.

"What?" I said in surprise, "Are you saying that apart from Jiang Daolin, there are other people in this world who have that ability to be almost immortal?" ”

Ryazan glanced at me and said, "He never said that he alone has that kind of ability in this world, but he is immortal in this state, are you willing?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head, and said to myself that if I lived like that for hundreds of years, it would be better to kill me now.

However, with the monster in front of me and the impact that Jiang Daolin brought to me before, I have a new understanding of the so-called immortality, a proposition that human beings have been pursuing since ancient times. The so-called immortality can be roughly divided into three forms: physical immortality and spiritual extinction; The body dies, but the spirit endures, and both the spirit and the body can survive. A normal person, he will definitely choose the third form of immortality, because of the first two forms, the first form can only make me think of a puddle of meat puree, while the second form reminds me of ghosts.

I looked at the monster on the ground and said, "However, this thing is different from Jiang Daolin." ”

Ryazan explained: "Jiang Daolin has only been in that state for only twenty years, and during this time, his body is constantly changing—more and more like a snake, and this guy must have been in that state for a longer time." ”

I carefully recalled Jiang Daolin's state, indeed, his baby-like body, and his limbs that gradually melted together, as well as the eyes, tongue, and teeth, all showed that he was evolving in the direction of the snake.

I was shocked, Jiang Daolin has not completely transformed into a snake in twenty years, and he can clearly distinguish the form and size of a person, so how many years has this thing in front of him survived?

That is to say...... The skin in this creek is what it has been shedding over the years. I said.

"That's right," said Ryazan, "but it has become very weak because of it, and, I think it is in its current state, it must have just molted." Now with a glare of light, he is almost hanging. ”

I looked down, and sure enough, the thing was slumped on the ground and motionless except for its faint breathing. It seems that the so-called physical immortality comes at a cost, and they are not completely immortal, they are afraid of the sun and prefer dark and damp places.

It occurred to me that if this thing was made by a human, then we should try to communicate with him, but it turned out to be disappointing. This thing has completely lost the ability to speak, and can only make a snake-like "hissing" sound, which is also expected by me, Jiang Daolin was already quite difficult to speak at that time.

"So what do we do with it now?" I asked.

Ryazan thought for a while and said, "Let him bask here, immortality is not in line with the laws of nature, this kind of thing, it's better not to exist." ”

I looked at the disgusting thing on the ground and nodded yes. It suddenly occurred to me that the story between man and snake seems to have a long history, and there are stories related to man and snake in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, whether in the East or in the West. The most famous, such as Nuwa in ancient Chinese mythology, is the head of a human and the body of a snake; For example, in the Western Bible, the story of Eve who was seduced by the snake and stole the forbidden fruit, the legendary ghost stories about the snake are even more numerous.

Is it a coincidence or an inevitability that snakes have appeared quite secretly throughout the development of human history?

The matter of witches has always been a secret of a few people.

It occurred to me that perhaps these so-called secrets had gradually revealed various clues in the course of thousands of years of human history, but ordinary people had not delved into them.

At this time, Gao Peng suddenly came to my side, I was surprised, he actually said to me with a crying voice: "Boss, boss, you can help me beg my sister-in-law and let her save me." We are such good buddies, can you bear to see me become that virtuous? ”

I smiled and said, "Don't care, you're fine, it's all Ryazan who is lying to you." ”

Unexpectedly, Gao Peng didn't believe what I said at all, and said to me: "Boss, don't comfort me, I know that generally a terminally ill person, his family will tell him that there is nothing wrong with him, but in fact, the matter is big!" ”

I looked at Ryazan, and said that the joke was a little too big.

At this time, Bu Jin suddenly made a silent gesture on the side.

The three of us didn't know why, so we followed Bu Jin's gaze and looked at the woods across the stream. But seeing that the low bushes were very thick, after a few moments, there was a sudden rustling sound, and the bushes shook twice.

A few of us didn't dare to come out, but we looked closely, and through the dense foliage, we saw that there seemed to be two small black shadows muttering something behind the bushes.

I tried to take two steps forward to see what the little black shadow was, but Ryazan stopped me. Rao was like this, and within five seconds, the muttering came to an abrupt end.

Ryazan lowered his voice and sighed secretly: "It's still been discovered." ”

Discovered? I wondered who had found out who was here. The fact is obvious, since just now, those two little black Ying have been secretly watching us, so we should have discovered them.

However, probably because the sound of our conversation just stopped abruptly, the two black shadows also stopped talking.

Suddenly, the bushes moved again, and then two black monkey-like faces poked their heads out of the bushes. When I saw that face, I was shocked, and I saw that the face was full of black hair, and the eyebrows were like monkeys, but the top of the head was obviously coiled with black hair, just like the bun of ancient scholars.

My first reaction was a wild man, because there are too many legends about the wild man of Shennongjia, which is simply known to women and children, and soon after I got to know it, I saw that the thing leaned out, and the whole height was only half a meter, which was not as tall as the legend was at all.

I subconsciously took out the long knife in my backpack, worried that the thing would come and attack, but I didn't expect the two things to look at us, they seemed to be very shy and scared, and they searched and got into the dense forest behind them.

I didn't wait for a reaction, but I heard Ryazan rush and ran into the dense forest, saying, "It's a mountain boy, chase after it." ”
