Chapter 356: Blood stains the earth and bones like a mountain
Rustling......
Rustling......
The bats hanging upside down on the roof of the cave moved slightly, their apparently larger than normal bats and the collision of rocks made a sound as if they were polished by invisible blades hanging overhead.
As long as the blade is condensed, it will slash down fiercely.
Jiang Xian's mind was tense, but there was no trace of panic, he looked at everything in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, I have a little preparation, it may be useful." β
Well?
Ling Xiaozi's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said, "What preparations, how to cooperate?" β
"If those bats rush over, protect me." As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xian immediately reached out to take the backpack behind him.
The amplitude of this movement was the largest after they opened the gate, and it immediately attracted countless pairs of blood-red eyes to look straight over, and in an instant, dozens or hundreds of bats moved in unison.
They spread their wings and fell from the roof of the cave, like a whirlwind of red and black in an instant.
In just a moment, he came to everyone!
Not good!
Lin Ruoxue, Ling Xiaozi, and Fang Yunye had a spirit in their hearts at the same time, and they immediately moved their hands, and the light of the flashlight was turned to the maximum, and they shone straight at the rushing bat.
The strong light gathered by the military flashlight was unbearable even for humans, and this creature, which was in the dark all the year round and was sensitive to light, immediately let out a terrible cry, and the flight route suddenly became chaotic.
But before a few people could be happy, the bats that had just been chaotic for a moment suddenly circled and rushed straight like arrows!
At this moment, they didn't care about the light that confused them, they just wanted to tear the prey in front of them apart!
Everyone's hearts sank, it was too fast, these bats reacted too fast!
Ling Xiaozi whisked the dust in his hand, Lin Ruoxue's short blade was connected to the ribbon, and Fang Yunye over there directly took out his firearm and pulled the trigger in front of him.
Bang bang bangββ!
Bullets poured out in an instant, firelight flashed in the darkness, a few muffled sounds sounded in the sky, and several bats fell straight down. However, there are too many bats, and they are too close to bats!
Although a few bats have died, the remaining groups of bats have rushed to the crowd!
The fangs that flickered with cold light wanted to directly bite the bodies of several people.
The sword light and dust waved in unison, and under the flying flesh and blood, they couldn't stop the bats that had surrounded them.
"The surname is Jiang! It's not good! Ling Xiaozi waved in the dust: "Dao Ye can't hold it anymore......"
"Don't worry......" The look on Jiang Xian's face was slightly relaxed, and he took out a sealed crystal bottle in his hand: "I'm ready." β
Kiss......
With a gentle sound, a faint fragrance lingered around for a moment. The bats, which were red-eyed and constantly besieging a few people, shook their bodies violently, as if they had seen a natural predator, and rushed out of the way at a faster speed than when they came.
Not only that, but the bats that had been hanging on the roof of the cave and had never moved, also moved in unison, making a "squeaking" sound, and quickly flew up, turning into a large red and black storm, and quickly retreating into the distance.
At this retreat, there was a space of sixty or seventy meters around several people, and there was not a single bat.
Ling Xiaozi was stunned for a moment, he blinked, how could this kind of scene be so familiar?
He turned his head and saw Jiang Xian, who was carrying a big black umbrella behind him and holding a crystal bottle in one hand, his eyes twitched, and he hurriedly leaned over.
looked at the contents of the crystal bottle, looked at Jiang Xian again, and said viciously: "The surname is Jiang!" Didn't you say that Nedan was thrown out!? β
"Yes, it was thrown out. Ruoxue can testify. Jiang Xian looked at Ling Xiaozi and said unhurriedly: "But what I lost was your small Inner Dan at that moment, and later I obtained a larger Inner Dan in the Shadow Cellar and kept it." β
"Xu Zhenren knew that he was going to southern Yunnan this time, so he made a refining, saying that he could better exert the kingly aura of the gecko itself and deter some creatures who were naturally afraid of it."
"No, it's going to work."
"Ahem......" Ling Xiaozi looked at the inner dan in Jiang Xian's hand, his eyes lit up: "That, surnamed Jiang, you lost one of my inner dans, and I don't care about you anymore, who made us brothers." β
"However, the relationship is so good, you will definitely compensate for the loss."
"I don't think I need anything too good, this crystal bottle can be given to me with Nedan."
As he spoke, his figure approached Jiang Xian, and when the last word came out, he stretched out his hand suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, he instantly grabbed the crystal bottle that presented the inner pill!
However, he was faster than Jiang Xian, with a flick of his wrist, the crystal bottle disappeared directly, and looked at Ling Xiaozi with a smile: "No problem, but I'm still useful, let me keep it first, I will borrow you." β
The corners of Ling Xiaozi's mouth twitched, are you borrowing this seriously?
I'm afraid that when you return it, there will be only one bottle left!
"With this Neidan, we don't need to be afraid of these bats......" Lin Ruoxue looked at Jiang Xian: "Just go now?" β
"Well, now." Jiang Xian nodded, and took a step forward, holding the crystal bottle in his hand, and everywhere he went, the bats pushed away one after another, and although the scarlet eyes looked here, the greed had turned into fear.
A few people were walking on the road, and after a few steps, a crisp sound came from under their feet.
It was the sound of stepping on bones, Fang Yunye looked down, and saw that there were all bones on the ground, bats, rats, snakes, monkey-faced eagles...... There are still people.
The bones were stacked on top of each other, and it was hard to tell if they had died in battle, or if they had been dragged here and eaten after being turned into corpses.
Walking towards the front step by step, suddenly, Jiang Xian's footsteps stopped, he and Ling Xiaozi both squatted down, put on gloves, picked up a broken piece of armor from the ground and observed it carefully.
"It's ...... Cotton nails? Lin Ruoxue came up and could tell the type of armor at a glance.
"Yes, it's the cotton armor of the Qing Dynasty."
Jiang Xian nodded: "The Qing Dynasty raised troops in the northeast because of their royal family, where it was cold, and the iron armor would make people frostbitten, and the cotton armor could have a bulletproof effect after adding water to block firearms." So the armor of the Qing army in the past dynasties was cotton armor. β
"The weather here in southern Yunnan is hot and there is a lot of miasma, so it stands to reason that cotton armor is not used much. But it's cold here, and there are so many monsters, and cotton armor is much better than ordinary armor. β
Jiang Xian stood up as he said and continued to walk forward.
The further they went, the more broken bones and broken cotton armor there were, and as they moved forward, there were more bones on the ground, but the variety gradually decreased.
After about a few dozen steps, only human bones, bat bones, and ...... were left Snake bones!
Jiang Xian's expression moved slightly, and a conjecture faintly rose in his heart.
He continued to walk forward, the passage in front of him became wider and wider, and after walking for a long time, he turned a road opening, and the sky in front of him was cheerful, and a vast space came into view.
But the moment they saw this space, Jiang Xian's pupils contracted suddenly, and they subconsciously took half a step back, and took a sharp breath of cold air.
In front of their eyes, a dense pile of bones gathered into a hill more than ten meters high! Human bones, snake bones, bat bones...... The hideous and twisted bones fell together layer upon layer, and under the light of the dim blue lights next to them, they looked extremely terrifying.
Like, the hell where the demon king was born.
But here, there are no demon kings, only a huge bat that is only more than two meters long, some of them hang upside down on the top of the cave, and some of them are burrowed in the peak of the bones, and as Jiang Xian moves forward, they scatter and flee in all directions.
Several people glanced at each other, but did not immediately walk up, their eyes kept looking around, from the ground to the wall, every location, carefully inspected.
The floor walls here are different from the rest of the place, not the usual bricks and stones, but more solid stones, comparable to basalt.
But now the solid rocks were soaked in a dark red blood, and every part was full of craters, slashes and axes, and even scorched black marks from the explosion of gunpowder.
With such a thick color of blood and such a strong trace of war, anyone can see at a glance that there was a big war here.
There was a terrible battle.
The pieces of broken cotton armor already explained the name of one of the forces.
"Shhh...... Wu Sangui had a big fall here back then! Ling Xiaozi couldn't help but stumble and said: "A large number of corpses and bones have not been collected, no matter how you look at it, they are all defeated, and they dare not collect the bones of the soldiers." β
"Moreover, those who can wear cotton armor must be his elite soldiers, and they are his generals." Jiang Xian also nodded on the side and said, "These people can be said to be the core force of the Pingxi Palace. β
"Even their bones didn't dare to converge, Wu Sangui must have been defeated and lost back then."
"But how did he come here to fight these monsters?" Ling Xiaozi said with some puzzlement: "And you can't run if you can't beat it, looking at this blood-soaked scale, it has been a stalemate for a long time." β
"It's not necessarily a disadvantage from the start."
Fang Yunye suddenly opened his mouth and looked around: "Wu Sangui has been fighting for many years, and his soldiers and generals are all good at fighting and will not make that kind of mistake. β
"Could it be that they had the upper hand at the beginning, even achieved the phased goal, and were about to win the big game, when suddenly the situation took a sharp turn. At that time, if you want to evacuate, you will have to pay the price of this blood. β
"Makes sense......"
Jiang Xian nodded thoughtfully, he walked to the front of the White Bone Mountain, looking at these peaks where bat bones, human bones, and snake bones were entangled with each other, a faint thought appeared in his heart.
He turned around and walked to the side, crossed the Mountain of Bones, and looked behind him, his eyes shrinking violently!
