Chapter 118: Thunder and Lightning

Hearing the fat man's words, the expressions on everyone's faces were different, and they looked at each other for a long time.

Feng is face was at a loss, he was joking when he was only a fat man, "The phoenix is something in your ancient myths and legends, how can it appear in reality." ”

Wu Xie smiled inexplicably, his gaze drooped, and swept over Feng's hand that seemed to be clenched in order to restrain his emotions.

It suddenly occurred to him that he had seen a phoenix-like totem in a place before, and the black blind man had specifically mentioned him about it at that time.

But the timing was not right, so he didn't say it directly.

Zhang Haixing's expression was quite complicated, she glanced at the fat man, then turned around, and pointed the flashlight in her hand at a gravel gap in front of her, where the white beam illuminated, there was a small cluster of yellow and white flowers suddenly blooming.

The surrounding forest was cold and dark, and the small flowers that were weak and couldn't help the wind suddenly grew out, and this scene was particularly strange.

The fat man was stunned for a moment when he arrived at those little flowers, subconsciously looked up, and wondered: "This crack has gone down so deep into the ground, and the sun can't shine at all, how did this little poor flower grow?" ”

"Because it's no ordinary flower." Wu Xie raised his feet and walked to the gap, holding the lamp and shining it inside.

More of these small yellow and white flowers grew in the cracks of the stones, spread out one by one, like moss in a cool and damp place, filling all the gaps between the gravel.

"I remember when my third uncle once told a story, there is a kind of moss that grows on the bones of human and animal corpses, only white and yellow stems, leaves and roots, no flowers, and reproduces offspring by roe deer, and each cluster starts to grow from the head of the corpse, and then decomposes and absorbs the nutrients on the carrion, and will soon spread to the whole body of the corpse, so their old generations call this plant corpse grass."

"This kind of moss will only appear in the buried graves that have been flooded, and the more corpses there are, the happier they will be, so don't look at these corpse grasses that are harmless to humans and animals, in fact, they are not small, and the juice squeezed out will corrode the skin, and if you encounter them in the tomb, no matter how brave the tomb robbers are, you have to walk around."

As he spoke, he twisted the aperture of the flashlight to the maximum and shone it towards the pile of rubble further behind, "You see, there are more of these little mosses in the crevices in the back, which means that these piles of rocks in the back are probably all bones." ”

The fat man's face changed a few times, and he looked at the large moss bushes blooming in the stone pile behind him, and said in a low voice: "In other words, a large number of people have died in front of you, just like what we saw when we were above. ”

Wu Xie put on rubber gloves, picked up a slender stone, circled around the stones, selected a place where the corpse grass grew more luxuriantly, and used the stones to shovel off the moss bushes, revealing the decomposed pitted bones below.

Then he fiddled around a few times, dug out the whole bone, and said, "It's a human skull, it's just that it's so badly damaged that I can't tell how long this person has been dead here." ”

The fat man snorted, "The fat man is even more curious, what kind of treasure is there in front of him, and it is worth these people to die here one after another." ”

The crowd did not hesitate any longer and continued to walk.

There was a section of gravel beach ahead, where the corpse grass looked like an ant's nest, and there were so many that they almost had no place to stay.

Wu Xie and the others stood on tiptoe, carefully passing through it as if they were dancing ballet, trying not to let their bodies touch these poisonous weeds.

Zhang Haixing, who was walking in the front, suddenly exclaimed, and everyone looked up and looked forward, and suddenly held their breath involuntarily.

At the end of the bottom of the gap, behind the rocks, there stood an incomparably huge bronze door, both in terms of pattern and material, exactly the same as the one that Wu Xie Fat Man had seen in Changbai Mountain.

But what is frightening is that for some reason, a huge irregular hole has been broken on the bronze giant door in front of him.

"What's going on?" The fat man shouted, "Who the hell blew up the bronze door for such a big hole?!" ”

No one answered, and the light of the flashlight did not shine the whole picture of the huge door, and they were all a little overwhelmed by the large hole in the door.

Feng couldn't help but speak, "Could it be that someone broke this door and entered here before we did, could it be Bai Ci?" ”

Wu Xie looked at the huge opening, his mind was blank, and the huge hole was like a black hole, attracting all his attention.

In a trance, a majestic, long, large black shadow appeared in front of his eyes, its limbs waving wildly, like a giant snake that had changed from a monster to a prototype, crawling out of the hole little by little.

As if noticing that Wu Xie was staring at it, the black shadow suddenly raised its head, its eyes were as red as lanterns, and its curved jaws opened its teeth and claws like sickles, revealing the purple-black mouthparts inside, and its mouth opened wider and wider, and finally even exceeded the size of the hole.

Wu Xie's eyes widened in horror, King Wannu!

That's a giant King of Ten Thousand Slaves!

He hurriedly reminded everyone to be careful of the monster, and pulled the fat man to turn around and was about to run, but a series of sharp noises suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Eat it—eat it—"

The high-decibel sound was like two sharp hooks, and without saying anything, it pierced in without hindrance, almost penetrating his eardrums and penetrating through the other side of his head.

Wu Xie screamed in pain, squatting on the ground and covering his ears to no avail, the harsh noise was everywhere, and he was tortured to death.

Damn, this King of Ten Thousand Slaves can attack with sound waves.

Just when Wu Xie was about to faint in pain, the familiar call broke through the barrier made of noise and entered his mind to awaken his consciousness.

"Innocent! Naive! ”

"Innocent and naïve, what's wrong with you? Wake up! ”

Suddenly, all the noise faded like a tide, Wu Xie slowly raised his dazed head, and saw the fat man's big furry head wearing a gas mask.

"Naive?" The fat man stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, comparing it to two, and his voice was muffled behind the mask, "Hey, you can be regarded as awake, you scared the fat man enough this time, do you still recognize it?" ”

Wu Xie blinked his sour eyes, sat up with his head propped up, and looked around, finding that they had walked to the bronze gate at some point.

Zhang Haixing and Feng Zheng were standing in front of the bronze door and observing the various cumbersome patterns on it.

"What about the King of Ten Thousand Slaves?" Wu Xie rubbed his eyebrows and asked him.

The fat man looked inexplicable, "What Wannu King, naïve you have a nightmare?" ”

"None of you saw it?" Wu Xie was surprised, and then frowned, "Then what's the matter with me?" ”

The fat man said "hey", "I still want to ask you, why did you suddenly faint when you walked well, if it weren't for the fat man, I reacted and caught you in time, and I would have to kiss those brothers face to face under the corpse grass." ”

Wu Xie wanted to recall what happened just now, but as soon as he moved his brain, he felt that his head hurt badly, so he hurriedly asked the fat man for a cigarette and lit it, lifted the gas mask and stuffed it into his mouth, lowered his eyes and took a few puffs.

He watched silently as the scorching red sparks in his hand engulfed the tobacco and paper little by little, and the misty blue smoke swirled upward, blocking the faint light under his eyes.

Since Muyu left, he has been controlling the amount of cigarettes he smokes, and the guys rarely see him light cigarettes in the shop on weekdays, but now he must use nicotine to relax his tense nerves, sort out all the things that happened during this journey, and find clues that he has ignored.

Ever since they entered the rift, everything here had become weird.

A statue of a bird with a snake's head, deliberately hollowed-out eyes, and gray-white pupils...... That sudden sense of familiarity......

The most important thing is why the bronze door here broke a hole and how the hole was formed.

There is also a point directly related to himself, why did he see the King of Ten Thousand Slaves crawling out of the hole, and after climbing out, where did the King of Ten Thousand Slaves go?

He couldn't help but wonder if the scenes he had seen before had really happened here. It's like the thunder and lightning that appeared on some ancient battlefields.

But judging from the fat man's performance, it is obvious that they have not seen the King of Wannu, and there is no trace of the King of Wannu around.

In other words, what he saw was likely to be fake, and those pictures were actually just hallucinations caused by his own tinnitus.

When did you get recruited?

Wu Xie thought about it carefully, turned his head to look at the fat man who was gnawing on the compressed biscuits, and when he saw him, the fat man broke half a piece and handed it over to ask him if he wanted to eat it.

"I'm not hungry yet." Wu Xie shook his head and closed his eyes again.

If it is an illusion, then are the fat people sitting next to him now also part of the hallucinations that have appeared in the new layer?

Wu Xie knew that he had to find a way to verify the authenticity, and he didn't know what the mechanism of the formation of this illusion was.

He knew that there were some powerful illusions that could hold the consciousness of all the people in this space together, and use the things in their consciousness to weave an unbreakable web, so he had to use someone who could not be here.

If that person can appear, then everything here must be fake.

"Wooden fish!"

Wu Xie looked behind the fat man and shouted abruptly.

His attention has been scattered on the three fat men, and after hearing his own voice, the three of them all turned their heads and looked behind the fat man.

Wu Xie waited quietly, and then saw a half-human-high stone block with a lush cluster of corpse grass, and a person slowly walked out of the shadows there.

Neither Zhang Haixing nor Feng had ever seen Muyu's original face, but the person who appeared had Muyu's original face.

Wu Xie looked at the fat man and naturally stepped forward to talk, Zhang Haixing and Feng did not express their vigilance against the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar face, and all their performances were natural.

Wu Xie looked down at the cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his hand, his eyes were gloomy, and then he turned his wrist and poked the cigarette butt into the palm of his left hand.

Zila—the smell of cooked flesh quickly spreads, but the palm is still intact.

Everything only exists in imagination, Wu Xie thought silently in his heart, this time he pulled out the big white dog leg pinned to the back of his waist, closed his eyes, and slashed at his wrist without hesitation.

There was a "clank" sound, and he slashed at something in front of him, and with the force of the blade bouncing back, he knew that he had most likely hit something like a stone.

Wu Xie opened his eyes suddenly, and found that his face was tightly pressed against the crow statue in front of him, the big white dog's leg in his hand was cutting at the snake's head, and his left hand was grasping the snake's head, but he also helped him block it by mistake.

His gaze shifted to the right, and when he saw the extra snake head, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a small hole appeared between the two gray eyes, staring at him like a paper man with eyes.

The memory was like an enlightenment, and he suddenly remembered what it was.

Corpse Turtle Pill, this thing is Corpse Turtle Pill!

Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat, since the corpse turtle pill had been broken, what about the corpse turtle king inside, where did he go?

He stopped in place and didn't dare to move, he could only use his afterglow to keep sweeping around, but he didn't have night vision, and he couldn't see anything clearly here, and he didn't know why the Corpse Turtle King didn't choose to attack him after he came out, maybe he flew away.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a faint white light in the corner of the grotto, which was the flashlight that was about to run out of power.

Wu Xie was bold, like a puppet with a string, he slowly moved his body, squatted down a little bit, leaned over to look, his body suddenly froze, and he couldn't wait to disappear in place immediately.

Dog day! The two missing corpse turtle kings were squatting in the white light of the flashlight at this moment.

What to do? What to do?

Wu Xie was anxious in his heart, and the insects were at his feet, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to trample the two corpse turtle kings to death with one kick after hanging on it for so long.

Once he accidentally makes a mistake, the consequences are unimaginable.

He racked his brains to think about what else he was carrying, and what else could kill the corpse turtle king in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, there is, peace buckle! There was the blood of a wooden fish in the peace buckle.

If it was really the road to heaven, Wu Xie secretly rejoiced, quietly took out the chain from the collar, took off the jade button on it, and then aimed at the two red insects in the shadow of the lamp, and threw them over with a "whoosh".

With his pimple hitting the sparrow's head, the Ping An buckle landed accurately between the two corpse turtle kings, and it shattered into two halves at once, and the liquid inside flowed out to attract the attention of the corpse turtle king.

Wu Xie watched as the two insects crawled onto the red liquid flowing out of the jade buckle, and then remained motionless.

After waiting for half a minute and confirming that the two insects were indeed not moving, Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, carefully climbed down from the grotto, and immediately touched the backpack he had placed under the stone wall before climbing up.

He remembered the approximate location where he had put it down, quickly found it, took out a spare flashlight from it and lit it, and then immediately turned around to look for the fat man.
