Chapter 62: The Corpse
They continued to walk downward, and they didn't reach the end of the seven incense sticks, and they felt more and more powerful about the dragon.
Lu Yubing said: "In this way, is Hanshan the bones of King Pygmy?"
"Nope. Sui Lan spat out a pungent smoke ring, and she said, "You need to have a good understanding of the history of the dragon clan, and there are usually many kinds of dragons, such as "Yalong", "Giant Dragon", and "Ancient Dragon...... There is also a large number of mixed races of various races. King Pygmy is a half-blood dragon, and Pygmy also means thin in the language of dragons, but it has a noble status, so there are dragon burials. ”
"Are you saying that Hanshan is the bones of a certain dragon, and that underneath the bones of the dragon is the real tomb of King Pygmy?"
Sui Lan smiled coldly, "If this is too much to call its identity, according to my years of research, at least nine dragons have been martyred." ”
"What?" everyone present was taken aback, Sui Lan had never told them such a speculation.
Between the netherworld, heaven and earth are chaotic.
A lone half-blood dragon king stood between heaven and earth, knowing that death was not far away, and rolled up its six wings to coil its ever-passing power. The nine giant dragons around him used their thick and solid wings to encircle the entire sky, their wings were so huge that they towered into the sky, each dragon was a dragon powerhouse born from the creation of heaven and earth, not to mention these nine dragon warriors with the purest blood. The notes they emit make make the earth tremble and the canopy darken. Because they will not eat or drink, they will remain in this position to guard the central pygmy king, waiting for its fall.
And the guardians will gradually die, just like the bad habits of human emperors, these ancient dragons also have this kind of funeral-like behavior.
Such an act hastened the destruction of the dragons.
With that desolate scene in mind, Lu Yubing said, "I only know that the dragon clan has a long life. ”
"Longevity does not mean eternity, especially for half-bloods, which do not live for a thousand years at most. Sui Lan said, "According to ancient books, King Pygmy is a mixture of five tribes. ”
"Wow!" The third man said: "Awesome, isn't this guy inheriting a variety of traits and dominating the dragon clan!"
Sui Lan said: "Usually the purer the bloodline, the more power the dragon inherits, but King Pygmy rarely exerts all the extremes of power. ”
The third said: "Yes, it's not?"
Lu Yubing just laughed.
Sui Lan said: "Didn't I just say that the half-blood dragon clan is particularly short-lived, and King Pygmy seems to have only lived for five years." ”
"What? Five years, isn't that still a doll and dying?"
"But it was only in the past five years that it had reached the pinnacle of the dragon's power and was known as the King of Pygmy, and those who tirelessly sought its power. ”
After saying that, they had already descended to the bottom of the Dragon Eclipse Cave.
It was brightly lit, with more than a dozen tents standing in between, and the robbers, most of them heavily armed, were still carrying out the gray material in carts, and they were exhausted and panting. Lu Yubing called out to one, and pinched the gray matter with his hand, some slight odors, which felt like flour to the touch, and he asked, "What is this?"
"We don't know, anyway, it was full of dragon caves, so we dug them out with manpower. ”
The robbers' cart was far away, and the orange torches in the camp flickered, reflecting all the faces of the people in a terrible and terrible light. Lu Yubing looked at Sui Lan's preoccupied appearance, obviously she didn't know what was going on.
The group walked through the camp and found a huge entrance.
Although the entrance was lit by torches, the interior was indeed pitch black.
Lu Yubing said: "It's been a few days since you opened the entrance, why haven't you found the way yet?"
Sui Lan said: "You can't think of it, here is an intricate labyrinth, we spent more than a year to explore no less than 100 times, each time we have to go through a few days and nights, only found ninety-nine dead ends, and finally I found a feasible way." You came at the right time. ”
A group of people get out of the way, this entrance is narrow at the beginning, only to pass people, but after entering it is very spacious, three tall robbers with torches in front of the road, Lu Yubing, Shi San, Sui Lan, Lao San is in the middle, Mad Dog and the other four brothers behind the palace.
The torch boiled some transparent silk webs, Lu Qingchen grabbed some of them, and found that the silk webs were also gray, spider silk was not like spider silk, silk was not like silk, it was completely untough, and it broke when it was broken, more like some kind of cellulose that had been digested.
Lu Qingchen said: "Bandit leader, do you know what that cartload of gray things is?"
Sui Lan said: "It's the things that ask for the life of those beasts." ”
The road here was indeed complicated, and it took them about an hour to reach the place that Sui Lan had said, and she had someone mark it with black dye along the way, so that they would not get lost.
For some reason, the keels are as white as jade, which is why the black dye looks so obvious.
The first person to light up the nearby oil lamp, and the whole venue lit up, "Oh my God. The third child exclaimed, there were corpses all over the place. It was a human skeleton, apparently for many years, Sui Lan took a puff of her cigarette with satisfaction, and said, "These beasts seem to have been crushed to death by gray matter, I haven't seen the details, pick up three, you come and help me see the talking corpse." ”
Shisan stepped forward, and he saw that these bones had no wounds on their bodies, only empty skeletons, but there were traces of violent struggle before they died, so he said: "It should be that the whole place was suddenly flooded with a large amount of gray matter, and they suffocated to death, so there are no injuries on their bodies." ”
Lu Yubing said: "You are right, but not all right. ”
"Then you must have a better insight." ”
Lu Yubing said: "There is a way to preserve the corpse, poisoning, starvation, or even sucking up the blood and dying. ”
"Where does the toxin come from within the keel?"
"After being buried in this place for a long time, there is a lack of oxygen, and people come dizzy, lose consciousness, and then suffocate to death. Their corpses then emit methane gas, a substance that kills the remaining survivors. ”
He asked, "What about starvation?"
Lu Yubing said: "This is unlikely, if people are really hungry to the limit, they will definitely kill each other in order to eat human flesh, but all the corpses are so intact." ”
"I only agree with your last speculation. He pointed out the tiny, barely visible holes in the skeleton's skeleton, which even pierced the bones, and it was suspected that they had been sucked to death. But this is inside the bones of the dragon, and it has been sealed for an entire era, what can survive here?
In any case, this is all in the past.
Lu Yubing crushed their bones and walked straight towards the dark hole. He found that the entrance to the cave was pitted, as if it had been gnawed by his teeth. Whatever it was, the teeth must be big, and the body is not small.
