Chapter 17: Choices
The battle of the behemoths was fierce and unusual, and the jungle that had grown for an unknown number of years was razed to the ground. Countless exotic flowers and trees and exotic animals were affected by this battle and lost their lives.
The golden giant elephant stood alone among the corpses of a broken tree snake, a strange sound wave emanating from its body.
The four besieging beasts were all bleeding from their acupuncture holes, and they were wailing incessantly, as if they were about to die under this force.
Suddenly, this force was gone. I saw that the giant elephant's face turned blue, and his whole body seemed to shake a little.
The snake venom injected into the body before did seem to have a great effect on its body, which provided a glimmer of life for the other giant beasts besieging the giant elephant.
As the giant elephant was affected by the snake venom, the giant beasts felt that the power that constantly destroyed the body had finally disappeared, but because the distance was too close, the giant beasts that had suffered most of the damage were still unable to move, and could only rely on the strong recovery ability of their bodies to regain control of their bodies little by little.
For a moment, both sides seemed to lose control of their bodies at the same time, and it was up to them to see who could recover first.
This indiscriminate attack finally stopped, and although Ning Hao was some distance away from the battlefield, he still felt uncomfortable for a while, and streams of pure qi and blood emanated from the blood essence, making up for the scarred body.
"It seems that this place is not suitable for a long time!" Ning Hao wondered if it was time to evacuate this dangerous place. If this move is repeated a few more times, won't it cost a small life?
Just as he was about to leave, Ning Hao hesitated and stopped.
After this battle is over, no matter which side wins, in fact, it has nothing to do with Ning Hao. Ning Hao's original intention was just to find that group of cultivators, even if they were really dead, he also hoped to find something like a secret book or magic weapon that could cultivate immortal methods.
Even if he leaves now, when this battle ceases, how can he go about finding traces of these monks?
"The giant elephant seems to have swallowed the monks in one gulp, and just now the giant elephant has come out of the ground, could its nest be underground?"
Ning Hao seemed to forget the pain in his body and wandered under the tree to think.
On the one hand, there was a potentially life-threatening battle, and on the other hand, it was likely that there was only one chance adventure, Ning Hao thought for a while and seemed to have a decision.
In the long journey of life, every choice is a junction to a different direction, and each intersection leads to a completely different future, and it doesn't matter how you choose and how you choose.
Just don't regret the choices you've made.
If Ning Hao lived in the 21st century, he would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation, why should he risk his life to pursue this kind of dream that may not be realized.
It's like a button with red and green colors, pressing red will give you 100% of the million, pressing green will give you half the chance of getting 100 million, and the other half chance of getting nothing.
In the past, he would not hesitate to choose the red button, but as a little mouse in the jungle, after countless lives and deaths, Ning Hao seemed to have a different choice.
I saw Ning Hao firmly running up the dirt slope and into the depression.
At this moment, the battle of the giant beasts had long been far away from the original dirt pit, and the rat looked at it carefully, and the pitted dirt pits were left on it, Ning Hao knew that it was the traces left by the giant beasts in the battle.
At this time, there was only Ning Hao in the depression, and the snakes had already crawled towards the new battlefield, and even some who had not yet had time to keep up with the team had turned into corpses in this attack of the giant elephant.
Ning Hao nimbly ran to the mound where the golden giant elephant broke through the ground, and in the center of the mound was a black hole.
The rat came to the great hole and looked inside, but it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside.
Wealth is always in danger.
Ning Hao gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and jumped in.
It is a wide, huge tunnel that leads diagonally into the ground and does not seem to be a straight route.
Groping his way through the darkness at the beginning, he saw that the vast and huge walls were inlaid with stones that emitted a faint light, like bright stars in the night sky.
As he went deeper, the dirt around the cave gradually became regular and neat, and it was obviously not like such a golden elephant could be sorted out.
"Could it be that someone built this cave, and the giant elephant just lived here later?" Ning Hao felt that things suddenly became strange.
And why would an elephant live underground, or was there something else he didn't know about?
More and more questions surged in Ning Hao's heart. But having chosen this path, he can only go on.
Suddenly, a much brighter light appeared in front of me.
Ning Hao slowed down and cautiously poked his head over, only to see that it was a wide cave.
The cave was empty, clean, and there was nothing. The flat floor and smooth walls seem to have been specially cleaned by someone.
Colorful light shone down from the rat's head. Gemstones that glow with multicolored light are set in the walls of the cave, like the sky of a jungle night, full of magical atmosphere.
Ning Hao walked into the cave in the five-colored light, and there was silence all around, as if this was really just a place for the giant elephant to rest.
Unconsciously, Ning Hao walked to the center of the cave, and he found that the ground did not seem to be completely flat, and there were deep or shallow ravines all over the cave, as if someone had carved something on the ground.
"Isn't this an elephant, it's a pixiu?" Ning Hao walked around a few times unwillingly, but found nothing, not to mention excrement, not even messy gravel clods.
Suddenly, the blood essence in the body beat like a heart, and a strange fluctuation spread from the blood essence to the whole body of the mouse.
The rat circled around the wall and suddenly found a hole in the dirt in an extremely deep corner.
The entrance to the cave was about half a person high, enough for Ning Hao to drill through.
Inside the cave was a much smaller room, and there was nothing else in the empty room, except for a bare humanoid skeleton.
The skeleton sat cross-legged on the ground, with his heart facing the sky, like an old monk in his meditation.
"Human bones!" Seeing the humanoid skeleton, Ning Hao thought it was one of those monks, and hurriedly approached to observe.
As Ning Hao walked through this small hole and entered the room, an astonishing pressure suddenly descended on Ning Hao.
Ning Hao felt that a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the empty eye sockets of the white bones, and those eyes flowed with five-colored brilliance, staring at Ning Hao non-stop.
This gaze was deep and weird, and in front of it, Ning Hao felt that there was no trace of secrets in his body.
