"Draw bones out of sanity and reality

After the execution, he screamed for the madness of this world

Wake up in a never-ending nightmare

An amusement show full of intrigue

I will be your death row inmate

There was nothing but blood on his hands

Trapped in this paradise

I'm going to make you bleed like I am

So make me your death row inmate

The veins are filled with venom

Trapped in this paradise

I'm going to make you bleed like me!"

In the early morning wilderness, a specially reinforced and modified sturdy off-road vehicle is speeding on the dirt and stone road.

The passionate heavy metal music was playing and singing, Vicky liked it, Kidman didn't hate it, and Zhu Peng sat alone in the spacious back seat of the off-road vehicle, he flipped through one book after another of the strange legends about the crystal skull of the Sodaro Forest:

Some say it is a miracle of ancient civilization, some say it is a fake polished by modern technology, the biggest lie of this century, and some say it is a savior that can save the world from destruction before the end comes......

Zhu Peng flipped through the book and read the book very quickly, dozens of lines at a glance, and he would hardly pick up and read a book after putting it down, so after this journey, as time passed, the books stacked next to him were already thick and half a person high.

"Chino, what's the catch?" asked Kidman, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turning her head sideways.

"Most of what is written in these books is hearsay, but in a basic way, the Crystal Skull seems to be the most powerful in three aspects: calculation, foreknowledge, and the resurrection of the dead. Even if it is a legend, there must be a relevant basis, and the civilization inheritance of the exterminated Tyguri is closely related to these three aspects. Zhu Peng closed all the books, closed his eyes slightly, and began to sort out his thoughts comprehensively.

At this moment, Zhu Peng is like a terminal processor in the center of a huge database, abandoning all his emotional calculations, and completely deducing the future according to the existing information with absolute reason and supreme perspective...... It is scientific fortune-telling, based on all known information, to deduce a certain possibility of future development, that is, trend operation.

Taking the Sino-Japanese War as an example, at the beginning of the war, the Western countries overwhelmingly believed that China had already carried out drastic reforms to win, because the gap in the national strength of the two sides and the war potential could not be reasoned, but the Sino-Japanese War really started, and the semi-colonial and semi-feudal China at that time was defeated by the modern war of the Japanese at a speed that stunned the Western powers.

This is the fragility of feudal agrarian civilization in the face of modern industrial civilization, and the gap in rank.

In the end, however, China won the final victory, as the Western countries initially believed, in what is known as the trend calculation.

No matter how clever the Japanese are at the gambling table, China, a big fat man who is powerful and heavy, loses and presses again, and as long as he wins, Japan will spit out the advantages he has taken before.

Because the big fat man on the other side pressed it and refused to let it get off the table easily.

Therefore, after the war, China did not want Japan's war reparations at all, although that amount of money was a lot, but it was a dead money, and China wanted Japan's interest-free loans and technical assistance.

Technical assistance, which is the key to turning dead money into living money, and interest-free loans tie Japan to the chariot of China's economic development...... If you want me to be able to afford to pay it back, don't bother with technical assistance, which in a way is also the founding leaders who are absolutely rational and supreme in their thinking about the future.

It is very cool to ask for a large amount of war reparations, but that money can't save China, so that this country has modern technology as soon as possible, has an industrial base, is the real salvation, as for the interest-free loan I have not repaid, I will talk about it later, even if it is repaid, the interest-free loan, 10,000 yuan 40 years ago and 10,000 yuan now, is it the same?

Besides, why should I repay you so easily with the money I borrowed by my ability? You have to go back with your ability.

Imagine if China had been defeated in the war, and Japan would have provided large amounts of interest-free loans and technical assistance.

After all, this is a cruel world that speaks with strength, and the past, present, and even the future have never changed.

At dusk that day, Zhu Peng met with Miss Miru, the client of this mission, and the three of them lived together in the small town of Stern on the side of the Sodaro Forest, and almost grew up listening to the terrifying legends of the Teccuri people in the Sodaro Forest, so Miss Miru's younger brother Dalter had the idea of exploring this ancient forest. Then he confirmed the horror of this forest.

"Hello, Mr. Constantin Chino, you have always been my brother's most admired idol, may I ask if we will enter the Sodaro Forest now?" Miru was a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses, who was not beautiful but looked very intellectual, and she shook hands with Zhu Peng with a little excitement.

Zhu Peng noticed that the girl was wearing a suit, and she seemed to be ready to enter the forest at any time.

"I understand the eagerness of you and your family, but on the one hand, my assistants are already tired, and on the other hand, I also need to do some preliminary research...... It's been two weeks, so I think it's worth it to spend another day to make us more prepared. ”

“...... Yes sir, you are the most professional and I listen to you. Hearing this, the girl looked a little depressed, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed with Zhu Peng's statement.

"Kidman, you go to the client's house and check Dalter's room to see if any clues are missing. Vicky, you hire the best forest guide or hunter in the town, explain the situation to the other party, and the commission may as well be higher. After gaining the client's understanding, Zhu Peng assigned a part of the work for Kiman and Vicky, while he himself carried the Burning Crossbow to the Sodaro Forest alone.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, this town is close to the Sodaro forest, there are actually a lot of lumberjacks and hunters, and if the scope of work is only on the periphery, there will be no problems.

The primeval forest in front of me is too vast and huge, and the remains of the Teccuri civilization are in the deepest core of this forest.

Syllable!

Shooting a fat hare with one shot, Zhu Peng withdrew his revolver, walked over and took some of the hare's blood and put it in the palm of his hand, and then poured low-grade holy water to dilute it, and the two blended together peacefully, without any violent reaction.

(There is no negative energy radiation effect at all, and the power is completely concentrated in the most core area?At least, the flora and fauna in this area are naturally growing.) ）

"Are you here to hunt deer? If so, you'll have to go inside, I'm the best hunter in the area, Jill Conder, and I'm glad to see you. While Zhu Peng was observing the Sodaro Forest, a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a gray vest with silver hair turned out from the depths of the forest.

He walked up to the front with a double-barreled shotgun in both hands, admired Zhu Peng's marksmanship, and then stretched out his palm to shake hands with him.

It was at this time that Vicky trotted in from the direction of the town, a slight but not noticeable lame, and his growing strength and pace made up for it.

"Teacher, the best hunter in town, Jill Conder, is out hunting today, shall we hire someone else, or shall we wait another day?"

"It's not necessary, it's already delivered to your door. Looking up and down at Jill Kant, who was holding a double-barreled shotgun in front of him, Zhu Peng said.

............

That evening, at the client's house.

Zhu Peng's palm burned into a fierce fire, and then he "pierced" it into Vicky's thigh, and the bone spurs disappeared wherever the fire went, and its power almost recast the young man's thigh bone.

After it was done, his palms shone softly again, and with the holy water to heal Vicky's wounds, he quickly completed this simple operation.

"Try it and see how it feels. Zhu Peng said after he stopped.

Vicky, on the other hand, spat out the glue stick he was biting, and he stood up and walked up and down the room with a sweaty but excited look.

"Teacher, it's totally fine, my leg is totally healed!"

“...... If it weren't for the fact that this mission was very dangerous, I wouldn't have cured this leg for you at all, during the period of your disability, your cultivation effort has increased by 20% compared to the past, especially for the exercise of your legs, if you can continue to persist like this, and then heal your legs after many years, your leg skills can be extremely good, but now I can't take care of it for the time being. "If you lose your current life because of the pursuit of future achievements, it will inevitably look stupid.

"Teacher, will this mission be difficult?" Wei asked when he saw Zhu Peng's solemn expression.

"At their peak, the Tygurids had the highest civilizational achievements of the feudal era, and their calendar and astronomical system were astonishingly accurate to this day, and they were a race with a population of millions...... But it was completely destroyed in one day, how far do you think the power to destroy it has reached?" Speaking of this, Zhu Peng sneered.

"But that's why it's so much fun. ”

The next day, a group of people who had purchased a lot of forest equipment under the guidance of Jungle Hunter Jill entered the Sodaro Forest.

Jill Kant was a widower, middle-aged widower and childless, a man who loved hunting and adventure, and once one became interested in his work, the depth of his study was often incomparable.

Therefore, Jill can become the strongest hunter in the town, just taking tourists into the forest to hunt deer every year, he can have a leisurely and leisurely mix without worrying about food and clothing, but this time his hunting goal has become different, from deer hunting to ghost hunting. Of course, Zhu Peng's remuneration is really generous enough.

In the dense and humid dense forest environment, a group of seven people slowly walked forward.

Zhu Peng's three people, the guide Jill Kant and the three Milu sisters and brothers, among which Miss Milu's brother and sister are underage, but they insist on dying and dying together, Zhu Peng tilted his head, and chose to let go.

Jill Kant was at the front, then Kiman and Vicky, then the Miru siblings, and finally Zhu Peng, who wore a trench coat and carried a flaming crossbow.

The first and middle stages of the journey were peaceful, with Jill Kant, the strongest snake, saving them a lot of tedious little troubles, but when they arrived at their target two days later and found the tent that Dalter had set up earlier, the situation gradually turned weird.

"It's not like the site of a mountain bear attack, it's too clean, and it's not winter. If it's a mountain bear, it won't drag all the carcasses away. "It is true that beasts full of aggression during mating will attack the camps of visitors, but most beasts will not eat large quantities of human flesh unless there is a great lack of salt, otherwise the high biomass in the human body will discourage the beasts.

"There was no sign of food that had been clearly arranged, and the belongings in the tent had not been taken, and the other party had come simply to kill and hunt...... The possibility of being a monster is already very much."

In the end, before Kidman could say the word "high", Zhu Peng suddenly pulled out his revolver and shot at the dense forest.

Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, when the six-round revolver hit the third one, the shadow of the running between the bushes was somewhat faintly visible.

It's just that his running speed is extremely fast, with Zhu Peng's marksmanship at this time, he still only stumbled on the fifth shot, and hit the opponent's back in the sixth shot, and the other four bullets were all empty.

"Don't chase. At this time, Kiman and Vicky both drew their guns, but Zhu Peng stopped them.

He himself leaned over and poured some low-grade holy water at the blood spilled after the other party was shot, the pale golden solution reacted violently with the black-red blood water, and the holy water seemed to suddenly turn into sulfuric acid, rustling and foaming at the same time and emitting white smoke.

(I've found the right owner.) ）

"Vicky, all of you are here to be on guard, don't disperse until you don't get fatal. Throwing the flaming crossbow on his back to Vicky, compared to Kidman, this kid has more time to practice crossbowarts, and at the same time, Zhu Peng cast a spell to summon the King Kong giant ape to protect everyone, while he himself followed the red fire dog that he had just summoned to chase and kill the monsters that ran away with blood and breath.

In the dense forest, Zhu Peng chased for more than 20 minutes with a scimitar and a clawed buttock.

(Have a certain amount of intelligence, and have the ability to counter the chase and hide their own breath.) The elk was too tired to run at this time, Zhu Peng walked up and took the piece of flesh and blood that the monster had dug up from his body from its horns, and did not let the Red Fire Dog smell it again, but used it as a medium to activate the power of the fate card, and the confused memories suddenly poured into his mind again:

Gorgeous and magnificent forest buildings, splendid civilization settlements, noble and sacred red high priests...... Then the camera pans to the panicked adults, the doomsday prophecies they are talking about, the mad high priest and the red-eyed religious warriors, a blood-colored picture, like the bones of a hill being piled up and burned, the sacred crystal skull on the stone tower, the terrible blood, the high priest standing on the mountain of corpses of his people laughing wildly, until he himself is enveloped in the blood-colored light.

(Found it, Doomsday Prophecy, the blood sacrifice of the Tecuris...... I see. As the power of fate dissipated, the flesh and blood of the monster in Zhu Peng's hand turned into something like ashes, and then he casually threw it away.

Now the power of fate is extremely precious, if it is not something important enough, Zhu Peng is not willing to use it at all, but the religious artifact sacrificed with the life and blood of millions of people, if it can be held, it means that it is at least an epic demigod level, and it is worth his waste.

When Zhu Peng returned to the previous camp again, the scene was in a mess, the King Kong giant ape had already been attacked and dissipated, and almost everyone present was more or less injured, but fortunately, they were not seriously injured. When they saw Zhu Peng walking out of the dense forest with a scimitar, everyone took a long breath.

"Originally, I planned to go to Gaotan City to follow Mr. Constantine Chino after this vote, but now it seems that the meal of the witcher is really not delicious, and I still be honest as my guide in my hometown. "Jill Kant suffered a claw on his back, and the injury was not light, but after being washed with holy water and bandaged, there was no problem in his movements.

"Teacher, the ogre did come back to attack us after you were gone, but I shot a crossbow in its arm and temporarily repelled it. Vicky walked up and handed back the flaming crossbow, but Zhu Peng waved his hand and refused.

"I don't need to hold on to it anymore, I've found the location of its nest. It is true that Dhart is not dead yet, but I would like to warn you that the next journey is likely to be more and more dangerous, and although we will protect you without endangering your own lives, you are already starting to get injured now, and if you continue to walk, I am afraid that you will die. The first half of the sentence was addressed to Vicky, while the second half of Zhu Peng's sentence was addressed to Miss Miru, the task client.

Zhu Peng was reluctant to talk to this glasses lady, because the other party's name was quite tongue-twisting when she was addressed, especially when this woman was still very stubborn many times.

"You are already an adult, and at the same time you are the guardian of your younger siblings, so naturally you have to bear the price for your choice, and keep going, you and your younger siblings are likely to die, but if you go back at this time, you will also have to face the danger of monster attacks...... The mission I accepted was to hunt down and eliminate the monsters, and it is not our duty to protect you, my assistants have already protected you once in that round, and I will never allow them to put their lives in danger again for protecting you on the next journey, although it is too much to say, but do you understand what I mean?"

“......... I understand, Mr. Konstantin, but if I don't see my brother, I can't feel at ease at all, my younger brother and sister feel the same way as me, after the death of my parents, we brother and sister live together, we are one. The girl thought for a moment, then hugged her younger siblings and said.

"Admirable affection, disgusting stupidity. Shaking his head, Zhu Peng raised the silver revolver in his hand, and he took the lead in the direction of the remains of the Tygurids.

The Tygurian civilization is one of the five major jungle civilizations in the world, with outstanding achievements in astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, art and occultism.

If in a normal world, such a thing would have been investigated countless times by archaeologists and do-gooders in that world, but the entire Sodaro Forest was very close to the edge of the Great Rift in the world, so under the effect of civilization inhibition, this million-level civilization was destroyed one day, diluted and even forgotten.

When Zhu Peng and others came to this civilization ruin, the jungle city, they saw a giant building that was half a jungle and half a city, lacking human population, and the vitality of the Suodaro Forest was slowly fading the traces of its past, but between the ruins and broken walls, you can still see the prosperity and glory of this civilization in the past.

It is not easy to create such a stone city with handicraft, although it is impossible to compare with the modern city, but the stone city is still full of a historical weight and simple grandeur.

The Tyguri people are particularly fond of the stone frescoes, which depict the astronomical calendar, historical contributions and heroic biographies of their civilization.

"Oh, according to the Teccurian calendar, it seems that our time is coming to an end, the end of the world. As a result, the world has not yet ended, but they have died first, which is really interesting. Because of the vivid descriptions on the stone frescoes, even if Kiman and Vicky did not understand the Tyguri script, they could still get a rough idea. In particular, the three siblings of Jill Kant and Miru on the side are all locals, and they know more or less about the Tygurids, and they are willing to tell them about the Kidman.

While looking at the slate mural and listening to the explanations of his companions, Vicky, who was carrying the flaming crossbow, smiled and said a word, but he was looked at by his teacher with a very strange look, which made the young man feel a little inexplicable in a panic.

"Yes, it's probably not a good thing to see through the future that your own strength is not enough to deal with, and the Tygurids died in astronomical derivation and development is too clever. Zhu Peng walked ahead, and he followed the guidance of the power of the trajectory of fate, and soon found the monster's lair after seven turns and eight turns.

That monster was actually the only son of the Sacred High Priest of the Teccurids, and the only survivor of that bloody catastrophe, just a child who witnessed such a tragic event, and then grew up slowly relying on the corpse of the mountain, and soon became half-human, half-demon, half-human and half-beast under the long-term immersion of negative energy, especially since it was still close to the edge of the Great Rift of the World, and the breath and power of the lower plane were easier to grow and infiltrate.

From Zhu Peng's point of view, for that child, it may be easier and happier to die under his father's scepter.
