Chapter 361: Gods and Mortals
Everyone looked at everything in front of them in horror, and the black tornado that gathered no longer expanded, and drilled into the huge mouth in one go.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the huge mouth closed, and a dull sound like thunder rolled out from there, shaking the sand and dust on the ground around it trembling slightly. The bats in the caves were all cowering in the caves, not daring to show their figures.
A moment later, the closed mouth opened, revealing a circle of sharp teeth that had been mostly lost. In the blink of an eye, the House saw a bright white waterfall erupt from the great mouth, spraying on the ground like a waterfall.
The sound of crackling and crashing was constantly sounding, like a dull ballad.
It didn't take long for the white waterfall to disappear, the huge mouth closed, and the huge head slowly shrank back.
The few people hidden in the corner glanced at each other and looked ahead.
As far as the eye could see, a large patch of white bones was displayed on the ground, and it was impossible to see what the ground originally looked like. Most of the white bones were broken, some were broken from them, some were broken into seven or eight pieces, and some of them could no longer see the specific shape.
Most of the bones in this piece are the bones of bats, and some snake bones and monkey-faced eagle bones can be seen sporadically under the layers of white bones.
Obviously, bats are becoming the staple food of this monster and it is also a relatively advanced day.
The monsters didn't move, didn't seem to know they had arrived, or didn't care about them at all. Taking advantage of this, they took a closer look at the monster.
Underneath the skull, the size of a house, two paws like duck webs rested there.
Looking up, he saw a pitch black mass behind the skull, Jiang Xian looked carefully, and saw that there was a lump like a wall, and when he looked up, he could see a partial yarrow growing in this "wall".
And the yarrow in the center had some collapse, as if it had collided with something before.
"How do I look at it, this seems to be ......" Ling Xiaozi touched his chin and said with some surprise:
"Turtle!?"
Jiang Xian and Lin Ruoxue glanced at each other, and both nodded silently, with a realization in their eyes: "If it's really a turtle, then everything makes sense...... Although the various areas we walked in before could be explained according to the deduction and the five elements, you don't think that the closer you get here, the more frequent the Northern Xuanwu Seven Residences will appear? ”
"And a qualified organ should not use the same arrangement frequently."
Ling Xiaozi swept the dust slightly, and looked at the giant turtle that seemed to be sleeping: "That's true, but if the masters here are the turtle and snake statues, and they regard these two as gods they worship and revere, they make such arrangements and choices, and it will be said that it will be over." ”
"Xuanwu is a turtle and a snake."
I see......
Fang Yunye also understood: "If you calculate it like this, in fact, all the organs we came in have traces to follow, and it's not even that difficult?" ”
"That's true, but only if you know the beliefs of the owner here, and at the same time face those monsters." Jiang Xian's eyebrows jumped: "Especially in the innermost part, there is such an invincible existence!" ”
This sentence made everyone fall silent for a moment.
yes, this pitch-black turtle is more outrageous than any trap.
"The hairy turtle is old under the yarrow...... Hehe, it turned out to be such a yarrow old ......" Jiang Xian couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "The sentence left by Mao Ziyuan back then was not just a pun, it was just a matter of everything." ”
Lin Ruoxue also nodded, Mao Ziyuan can be said to be the most powerful person they have fought in the air so far.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Xian: "What are you going to do next?" Still going to pass? ”
Well?
Ling Xiaozi glanced at Jiang Xian and Lin Ruoxue strangely: "In the past? What are you talking about? ”
Jiang Xian nodded, then looked at a few people, and stretched out his hand to point in one direction: "It's too dark here, the light is very weak, where do you look carefully, the flickering there, is there a plaque?" ”
Ling Xiaozi immediately stared at it, because of the existence of the turtle, they didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, for fear of alarming each other.
In this pitch black environment, the distance that his eyes could see was extremely limited, and after exerting all his strength, he vaguely saw a plaque above the entrance of the cave.
"What do you mean......"
"There, it should be the exit, and it is also the last secret of this underground palace." Jiang Xian said these words calmly, and his eyes moved back and forth twice: "If you want to go out, if you want to explore the secrets here, you have to walk over from there." ”
"Hiss......"
Ling Xiaozi gasped, and his eyelids twitched a few times: "What you said surnamed Jiang is true?" Is it really only possible to go from there? ”
"The entrance to the cave is right next to the old turtle! Let's walk over, I'm afraid we'll be swallowed in one bite, right? ”
"Judging by the markings on the map, and the traces I've observed, it's really only possible to walk through there." Jiang Xian spoke unhurriedly and looked at a few people: "But don't worry too much, you didn't notice that the vitality of this turtle is very low." ”
Very low, very low?
Ling Xiaozi's eyes moved, and his mind quickly recalled all the scenes just now.
"Most of its teeth have been lost!"
"When it was eating just now, it was all those bats who took the initiative to enter the ......," Fang Yunye pondered.
"Yes, but the most important thing is ......" Jiang Xian looked at a few people and said slowly: "From the moment we saw it, its body didn't even move. This includes the time when you retract your head and go back to rest after eating. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
The vitality of the turtle is higher than most people think, except for the turtle's limbs, which are extremely unsuitable for running, most of the turtles run on land with a very fast pace.
And the turtle in front of him knew from that toe that it was obviously not a turtle.
The old voice, the lost half of the teeth, and the body that doesn't move after eating......
All of these situations indicate that the turtle is already at the end of its life.
Jiang Xian even suspected that it was already difficult to make other movements except for opening its mouth to eat, and if they came a while later, they would learn that this turtle would die completely, rotting in the ground, leaving behind that huge body.
"And don't forget, Mao Ziyuan has been here. He's going to go from there, too. ”
Jiang Xian looked at a few people: "Hundreds of years ago, this turtle would never be as old as it is now. ”
"Perhaps, he didn't have the will to attack people in the first place."
After saying this, everyone's hearts were at ease, and after each adjusted their mentality slightly, they nodded at Jiang Xian.
Knowing that everyone was ready, Jiang Xian immediately took a step, leaning against the side of the wall, holding the crystal bottle containing the inner pill in his hand, and walked cautiously towards the front.
In the silence and darkness of the road, in the caves on the rock walls on both sides, the scarlet eyes of the upside-down bats are staring ahead. After sensing the arrival of outsiders, they almost flutter their wings and bite their prey.
But an aura that made them inherently frightened wafted out, and those bats that were still impulsive instantly reversed and burrowed deeper into the cave at once.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xian's heart was a little relieved, without the infestation of bats, the possibility of their past was greatly improved.
One-step, two-step, three-step......
Several people cautiously moved their steps, carefully landing on the ground, removing the bones that might have produced sounds, each of which produced only extremely small sounds. Step by step, I got closer and closer to the hole where the plaque was hung.
Getting closer and closer to the three-story tall tortoise.
His feet were lifted from the ground, and just as he was about to fall, Jiang Xian's heart suddenly shook, and his heart contracted suddenly. His complexion changed, and he immediately made a gesture, and the few people behind him instantly seemed to be wrapped in amber, and all their movements froze in an instant.
The next moment, a breeze blew from the front, and with a fishy smell, it slapped everyone's faces.
The unpleasant smell was extremely foul, like the smell of calculus after it had been cleaned, and the body couldn't help but react to stress.
Fortunately, everyone was not an ordinary person, and they held their breath and endured this air current.
"Humph......"
Two muffled noises came from the front, and the turtle's head swayed slightly, moving to the side, and its closed eyes never opened.
Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, stepped forward again, and gestured to several people. They became more careful with each step, trying not to attract the attention of the giant tortoise and reach the entrance of the cave safely.
Fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters......
The distance was getting closer and closer, and everyone's hearts that were hanging at that moment were gradually put down, and when they were only five meters away from the entrance of the cave, the corners of Jiang Xian's mouth rose slightly.
However, a feeling of being watched suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body tightened, and his eyes immediately looked upward, and his heart suddenly sank downward.
Ten meters away, the turtle, which was the size of several houses, opened its eyes.
The cloudy and blood-colored eyes stared straight at the few people, and an invisible fear immediately rose from all over their bodies, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, the body even forgot the instinct to run out of fear.
Will die!
Definitely going to die!
Everyone had this realization in their hearts, the giant tortoise was indeed old, and it was indeed difficult to move, but as long as it was alive, it still had a little bit of vitality. It would be difficult for ordinary lifeforms to escape from it, let alone defeat it.
Once it comes to its vicinity, once it is targeted, it is life and death that cannot be controlled by itself.
They now knew why that muffled roar had caused cave-raving bats to plunge into its mouth.
The life around here, infected by the breath of the giant tortoise for generations, is completely unable to resist, and it is fed into the mouth, and it has even become an instinct engraved in the genes.
It's like the gap between the gods and the mortals in the legends.
