Chapter 289: Ancient Beasts
The Hydra, which was still fierce and fierce a moment ago, was eaten by tens of thousands of bone-defying black crows in a short time.
There was not even a trace of flesh and blood left on the white snake skeleton.
The bloodthirsty ferocity of the Bone Crow can be seen.
When the skeleton of the hydra fell into the river, the crows that covered the sky gradually dispersed and returned to the cave on the cliff.
Soon, Qianyue flew over the wide river bend with Ji Tianxing, and his figure disappeared above the river.
Next, the road was smooth and safe, and there were no accidents.
About two hours later, Ji Tianxing and Qianyue finally arrived at the source of the Great River.
A majestic mountain with a height of more than 4,000 meters stands at the end of the great river.
There are a few touches of golden sunset, through the layers of mist in the sky, reflected on this peak, making the mountain peak covered with a layer of faint golden light, which looks more mysterious and magnificent.
There is a huge black hole at the foot of the mountain, and the rolling river water is gushing out of the huge black hole.
Ji Tianxing and Qianyue stepped over the majestic mountain peak and continued to fly forward.
He looked ahead with burning eyes, and his face showed a look of anticipation.
"Great! I've finally left the Manado area and are about to enter Lake Mochizuki!"
He silently guessed in his heart, what was Mochizuki Lake like?
How could he find clues to the Star Beads in the lake?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qianyue carried him over the majestic peaks.
A huge wasteland appeared in front of him, and the ground was a dull yellow color, exuding an air of desolation and loneliness.
Ji Tianxing looked down from the sky and saw that the wasteland was covered with dark yellow sand, scattered with many boulders, and there was almost no green and plant existence.
Most of the boulders were buried by the yellow sand, and the exposed parts were severely weathered and rough.
As gusts of wind blew through the wasteland, the yellow sand was swept up into the sky, and the boulders continued to peel off debris and scatter in the dust.
Farther in the wasteland, the ground cracked into huge ravines, densely connected like spider webs.
Even if the wind blows up the sand and dust in the sky, it cannot fill the criss-crossing ravine.
This area, halfway between the wasteland and the desert, is not only dry and lifeless, but only gives the impression of ancient vicissitudes.
Ji Tianxing saw the boundless and vast wasteland, and immediately frowned.
While he looked around, he muttered secretly with confusion: "According to the marks on the map, this should be Mochizuki Lake." ”
"But there's not even a drop of water here, so what's the lake?"
He was both puzzled and a little unconvinced.
He hovered and flew over the wasteland all day, carefully observing the terrain around the wasteland, and took out the map and compared it several times.
In the end, he had to admit that this was indeed Lake Mochizuki!
It's just that, for some reason, the former Lake Mochizuki has disappeared, or it has dried up, and it has become a wasteland full of cracks!
This result made Ji Tianxing's mood a little heavy, and his eyebrows frowned.
He risked his life to pass through the Forest of Death, the Sea of Fire, and Manado Mountain, and went through hardships to get here, how could he give up so easily?
Even if Mochizuki Lake disappears and becomes a vast wasteland, he will continue to investigate, and he is bound to find the clues of the Heavenly Star Bead.
He steered the Thousand Moons, flying continuously through the wasteland, probing the situation along the way, not missing a single clue.
As he entered the depths of the wasteland, the wind in the sky became more and more furious, rolling up yellow sand and dust all over the ground, obscuring the sky.
He and Chizuki braved sandstorms and hurricanes, persevering through the wasteland, looking for possible clues.
Time passed, and a day, two days, three days passed quickly.
In three days, Ji Tianxing and Qianyue flew around the wasteland more than a dozen times, almost stepping on every corner of the wasteland.
Qianyue's strength has been exhausted, so she can only retract back to the size of a kitten and burrow back into the treasure bag to sleep.
Ji Tianxing trekked alone in the wasteland and walked on foot for a whole day, continuing to explore clues.
He braved sandstorms and hurricanes, covered in yellow sand and dust, and almost became a native man.
But even so, he still refused to give up, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Soon, the fourth day passed.
Ji Tianxing still couldn't find any clues, and the disappointment in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He couldn't help but be suspicious, secretly wondering if there was a problem with the clues of the mysterious ancient book, or was there a problem with the map of the Foggy Hidden Mountains?
After four days of sleepless searching, he almost ran out of strength, and he was extremely tired and tired.
That night, he found a small stone cave in the wasteland, and he went into the cave to escape the storm, and used his energy to regain his strength.
After a long night, at dawn, the raging hurricanes and sandstorms gradually stopped.
The whistling wind outside the stone cave gradually subsided, and the yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun gradually dissipated.
The sky gradually cleared up, and the wasteland fell silent.
By the time dawn came, Ji Tianxing had finished his exercises.
After a night of recuperation, he became energetic and energetic again.
Seeing that the sky outside the cave was bright and the storm had stopped, he couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Great, the storm that lasted for days and nights has finally stopped!"
He hurriedly walked out of the cave, ready to continue his journey and search for clues.
However, when he walked to the entrance of the cave, he suddenly showed a surprised expression.
The entrance of the stone cave was originally buried by yellow sand.
At this moment, the yellow sand at the entrance of the cave was gone, revealing large areas of black-brown rock.
The yellow sand ground outside the cave has also sunk by more than 30 meters.
Ji Tianxing jumped from the entrance of the cave, crossed an arc in mid-air, and landed in the yellow sand below.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the stone cave, and was stunned on the spot.
I saw that a black stone sculpture dozens of meters high and ancient vicissitudes of life was standing in front of him.
This black stone carving, I don't know how many years of vicissitudes of life, the surface has long been rough and blurred by wind and frost etching, and countless stone chips have been peeled off.
Most of the stone carving was submerged by the yellow sand, only the upper body was exposed, and it could be vaguely seen that a monster beast with a strange shape and incomparably fierce was carved.
Ji Tianxing stared at the stone sculpture and observed it carefully for a long time, and finally recognized that the giant beast carved by this stone sculpture seemed to be the strange beast Lu Wu in ancient legends!
The 'stone cave' where he rested last night was actually the big mouth of Lu Wu's stone carving!
"It seems that this stone sculpture was buried in the yellow sand before, and it did not see the light of day. ”
"The raging storm blew away all the yellow sand that buried the stone sculpture before it was revealed. ”
"How can there be stone carvings of ancient beasts in this wasteland, and will this have anything to do with the disappeared Mochizuki Lake?"
