Chapter 040: Strange Stones

When Gu Sanqian woke up, there were only a few remnant stars embedded in the ink-like sky, and the sky was unusually dim. Originally, he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly under such a sky, but at this time, he could see it clearly. It is a pit with a radius of 100 meters and a depth of several meters. The collapsed trees burned around the pit, and the billowing heat wave brought suffocating smoke to the face, and the ancient three thousand coughed violently.

"Hiss~"

The cough affected his body, and the pinprick pain spread all over his body, causing Gu Sanqian to gasp, and a lot of smoke was inhaled into his mouth, and he coughed violently again.

"What is this place?"

"Why am I here?"

"What's going on here?"

......

As soon as this thought arose, the memories in his mind appeared in front of his eyes like pictures one after another, and he instantly remembered the scenes that had happened before.

"I don't know what happened to the others, let's find a safe place to adjust first!" Gu Sanqian said secretly.

He hurriedly glanced around, and suddenly found that the fire around him was spreading towards him, and the crimson flames were like a giant python with the crisp sound of burning trees quickly rushing towards him, and he had to force down the distracting thoughts that arose in his mind, and tried to turn over, and then pressed his body down, trying to keep his body close to the ground and crawl forward.

Like a caterpillar crawling forward, he slowly crawled towards the safe area ahead. He didn't look back, not even at all, even when he felt the heat coming from the soles of his feet. He knew that every second of time was precious at this moment, and every second of time had to be used to get out of the range of the fire, once he was burned by the flames, he was afraid that with his current physical strength, it would be difficult to get out of the range of the fire.

There was no escape, and he was greeted only by death, either by fire or by smoke.

The instinct to survive made Gu Sanqian's spirit highly concentrated, and the scenes that had swept around him before kept flashing in his mind, over and over again. The approximate range of the effects of the burning trees on each other, and the unexpected situations he could deal with, were repeated in his mind over and over again.

His body was fragile and his strength was limited, and the best way for him to avoid the fire and smoke was to crawl against the ground.

The stinging pain came from the soles of the feet, which were the shoes on the feet that had been ignited by the flames. Gu Sanqian's brows furrowed slightly, he shook his feet and shook off his shoes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to endure the pain and speed up his progress. Not far in front of him was the edge of the pit, and there was a huge gap at the edge, and although the trees were burning on both sides of the gap, there was a small stream about three or four meters in front of the gap, and the place where the gurgling stream flowed was obviously a safe area.

Gu Sanqian's gaze was only that safe area, his body was trying to arch forward, the intense pain stimulated every nerve in him, his teeth were about to shatter under his bite, but he didn't feel it, he only had one thought in his heart, rush to the safe area to live.

"Boom!"

A burning tree collapsed, and the burning pieces exploded like fireworks, and several sticks of burning wood the size of a bucket rushed towards him with a 'crackling' sound.

Gu Sanqian didn't panic in the slightest, all this was originally in his expectations. He had seen the tree burning, and he knew it was not far from collapsing. Naturally, he wanted the tree to fall when he left, but he had to think about the worst, and he had to calculate what to do if the tree fell when he moved forward.

Sure enough, the tree still fell down as he was advancing, although he didn't expect a few wooden bars to fly, but the way to deal with it was enough, and it was very simple, I saw him roll to the right side, and instantly dodged the attack range of these wooden bars. Then he arched some distance forward, rolled a few more times, and came to the opening of the pit.

Looking at the safe area that was close at hand, Gu Sanqian's tense nerves also relaxed slightly. At this moment, as long as he didn't stupidly rush into the fire, the fire around him no longer threatened, all that was left was the smoke billowing around, and he only needed to take a few steps forward to get out of the smoke, and he would be basically safe by then.

"Roar~"

Not far away, there was a terrible howl of a wild boar, followed by a slight tremor on the ground.

Gu Sanqian's face changed suddenly, originally he thought that the animals that were close around him must have been burned to death, even if they were not burned to death, they would flee from here, he never thought that there was an unlucky wild boar here, and listening to its miserable howl was very close to him, but the sound was a little fluctuating under the cover of the flames and could not determine the direction.

Gu Sanqian endured the pain in his body, his eyes showed a frenzy, his clenched teeth made a creaking sound, he gathered all the strength of his body to stand up, and ran towards the safe area that was close at hand.

The safe area, the same safe area, as long as you get there, you don't have to worry about fire and smoke, or even normal beast sneak attacks.

"Bang!"

A huge force came from under his feet behind him, and his body was thrown into the air, and he glanced down in mid-air, and roared with red eyes: "Damn wild boar!"

Hearing the miserable howl before, he couldn't tell the direction of the wild boar at all, and his spirit was crazy focused on that safe area, so the wild boar rushed from behind and hit him fiercely.

Gu Sanqian, who saw this scene in mid-air, had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart: "I was pulled by a wild boar as a cushion, I was pulled by a wild boar as a cushion back......"

"Bang!"

"Click... Click..."Gu Sanqian seemed to hear the sound of bones shattering all over his body, and these sounds echoed in his mind, even masking the sound of him landing on the ground.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, dispersing the smoke around it.

"Ah!!h

Almost instinctively, Gu Sanqian's body rolled frantically towards the center of the pit like a gourd rolling on the ground.

"Bang!" Gu Sanqian's head hit a stone, comparing his head to a stone, Gu Sanqian's head lost, and suddenly cracked a big hole, and the blood gushed out as if he didn't want money, splashing on the stone, and the stone greedily absorbed the blood that was spilled on it.

Gu Sanqian looked at everything around him a little stupidly, the pain in his body had already been numb, if it weren't for the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss, it is estimated that his spirit at the moment would be more awake than when he just woke up, but the blood loss was still more, his brain had already produced vertigo, and in a trance he saw a stone.

It was a pitch-black stone, the size of an adult's fist. There are many facets on the stone, each smooth as a mirror and the same size.

The stone was greedily sucking his blood.

Greedy?

Gu Sanqian's mind was a little inexplicable, he actually saw the emotion of this stone, could there be anything more weird than this?

"That's right, it must be a hallucination caused by excessive blood loss......"

Before the word 'Jue' of the word hallucination could be spoken, Gu Sanqian closed his mouth, because the blood that had seeped into the ground in his sight was actually sucked into the stone in an instant, and then the stone seemed to be alive and emitted a strange red light that drilled into the crack in his head and into his brain.

"Pounding ......"

The stone made a heartbeat sound in his head. At the same time, the red light on the surface of the stone also shrank as if it were beating, and the red light lines like waves spread out in all directions, extending to the limbs and bones of his body. The broken meridians and broken bones where the red light passed were slowly healing.

He glanced at the location he was in, and found that it was in the middle of the pit, and although there were no burning trees around, there was smoke in it, but fortunately, the smoke was flying upwards, and his position was relatively low, and there was no shortage of air or anything.

The threat to his life was alleviated, and Gu Sanqian exhaled a long breath, his mind slightly relaxed.

"This stone is really weird!"
