Chapter 119: Jade Meteorite Magma
Not surprisingly, the fat man also fell for it, and hung motionless on the grotto, his eyes closed.
Wu Xie quickly climbed up, turned on the light to take a closer look, and found that the two gray-white eyeballs on the snake's head were still intact, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then pinched the soft flesh on the fat man's arm and twisted it vigorously.
"Whew-" The fat man shuddered and screamed in pain, his eyelids fluttering wildly.
Wu Xie used to slash his wrists to scare himself awake from the illusion, but he couldn't use this trick against the fat man.
Scare and intimidation can only be counterproductive to a person with a fat personality, and he must be woken up by the method that most stimulates him to produce intense emotions, such as anger caused by pain.
So Wu Xie once again mercilessly pinched the soft flesh on the fat man's inner thighs, there was the most meat here, so he used more force than just now, and twisted it hard.
The fat man opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were as big as a copper bell, and he grabbed Wu Xie's hand, and the scolding had already blurted out, "The little hairy beast of the dog day dares to bite your fat man, see if I don't pull out your dog teeth!" β
Wu Xie's hand was clamped by him, and after shaking it twice, he found that he couldn't break free, and hurriedly called out to him, "Fatty." β
The fat man grabbed the vicious dog that bit him, and was about to pull out his teeth when he opened its mouth, when he suddenly heard Wu Xie calling him.
"Dog thing...... Well? The fat man suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, he realized that the dog teeth in his hand were actually Wu Xie's fingers.
"Naive?" The anger on the fat man's face froze, and he was a little confused, "What's the situation, what about the dog?" What about the dog that pounced on the fat man and bit him twice? β
"Hurry up and let go, Lao Tzu's hand is about to dislocate you." Wu Xie bared his teeth in pain, "It's just you and me here, the dog from there." β
The two climbed down from the grotto, the fat man looked left and right, finally came back to his senses, and muttered: "The fat man thought that we had walked to the bronze gate, but I didn't expect to walk for a long time and still stand still." β
Wu Xie briefly told the fat man about his hallucination, and when the two of them combined, they found that the scenes they experienced in the illusion were roughly the same, that is, it was very likely that their thinking and consciousness were mixed together at that time.
Wu Xie pondered: "It's still unclear what exactly made us hallucinate, it is very likely that there is something strange about those stone statues, or it may be something else that is difficult for people to detect, and we have been tricked unconsciously." β
"What about those two guys?" The fat man shone around with the light for a long time, but he didn't see the shadows of Zhang Haixing and Feng, and he was suddenly angry, "It's numb, I can see that those two people have a ghost in their hearts, so they left us two and ran away." β
"Oh no, they won't take all our food." The fat man's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went to check the backpacks of the two of them, and when he saw that the canned dried fish in it was still there, he snorted coldly, "They still have a little conscience." β
Wu Xie put away the big white dog's legs and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's just that each is his master, since we have been robbed, we have to hurry up." β
The two of them immediately set off and trotted along the gravel beach, and after a few minutes, they came across the stone mound covered with corpse grass.
Wu Xie was surprised, "Coincidence? β
"That's a good fit." The fat man smacked his tongue, "What the hell is this illusion about, it's so magical, it can even be predicted what we can touch behind us." β
"Naive, you say, the bronze door won't really break a big hole, maybe it was Zhang Haixing and the others who blew it open." The fat man said angrily.
Wu Xie shook his head, "It's hard to say, you have to see it with your own eyes to know." β
The two of them immediately did not dare to delay any longer, and quickened their pace through the corpse grass, and when they were about to reach the end of the rocky beach, the two of them stopped together.
At the end of the rocky beach, there was indeed a large, irregular opening, but in a towering dark green wall that shimmered faintly, that is, the end of the bottom of the crack was not a bronze door.
What appeared in front of them was an incomparably tall arc-shaped meteorite wall, like a divine sword falling from the sky, straight into the middle of the mountain, with countless twisted and complicated threads on it, circle by circle, much like the pattern on the ancient and mysterious sacrificial vessels.
Wu Xie took a closer look at the lamp and knew that this meteorite wall was formed purely naturally, and there was no trace of artificial processing.
This is a large piece of jade meteorite stone vein, although the composition is a little mixed, but its research value is beyond imagination, it is directly from a huge high-temperature meteorite fell on the mountain, under the action of the earth's gravity, with the momentum of opening the world, the stone mountain was split hard.
In the process of falling, the burning meteorite body was constantly cooled and solidified by the cold snow-capped mountain, and finally stayed in the middle of the mountain, and it took tens of thousands of years or even longer before it became the magnificent scene they see in front of them today under the action of geology, climate, silica, etc.
After listening to Wu Xie's explanation, the fat man said quietly, "The fat man suddenly had the illusion of dreaming of returning to his hometown, and asked by the way, is this thing worth it?" β
Wu Xie nodded and said, "The common jade meteorite is about 1,000 yuan per gram, but a huge jade meteorite vein like this one has immeasurable scientific research value, and it is roughly estimated that one gram will cost at least more than 50,000 yuan." β
The fat man gasped, rolled up his sleeves in three or two times, and stretched out his arm in front of Wu Xie, "Naive, do you want to stop pinching me?" I have a feeling that we're probably still in the Illusion right now. β
Wu Xie pushed his arm away and sighed, "No need to pinch, the places where the meteorites that fell marked on the Warring States Silk Book, although this situation is rare, but it is normal to think about it." β
"This dream is so wonderful that the fat man doesn't want to wake up a little."
The fat man wiped off the suspicious water stains on the side of his mouth with the back of his hand, rubbed it twice, and ran to the bottom of the jade meteorite wall, his eyes were like searchlights, and he collected more than a dozen jade meteorites without cracks in the stone pile and stuffed them into his backpack.
Wu Xie waited for him to finish loading before he spoke, "Zhang Haixing, they have been in for a long time, and it is likely that they are about to get the things inside, so we have to speed up." β
"Oh, the chicken neck is open!"
The fat man picked up two small ones again, ran back and stuffed them into Wu Xie's hands, and said with words in his mouth: "It's not easy to trek through mountains and rivers to come on this trip, and I have to get some souvenirs to bring back." β
The hole in the jade wall was the size of half a small truck, more than three meters high from the ground, and the broken pieces of jade meteorites that fell on the ground should have fallen when they chiseled this big hole.
Wu Xie looked at the stones stacked under the wall that they should have stepped on by Zhang Haixing, and then beckoned the fat man to move a few pieces from around and stack them on top, then stood up and said, "I'll climb up and take a look first." β
The fat man nodded at him, Wu Xie nodded, took off the backpack and let the fat man hold it, then bent his knees slightly, and his legs jumped up violently, and he grabbed the edge of the hole the moment he jumped.
Wu Xie used his arms hard, and as soon as he climbed up half of his body, before he could see what was inside, the scorching breath rushing to his face staggered him and almost fell back below.
The fat man saw that the situation was not good, and immediately dropped his backpack and raised his hand to support his buttocks, "What's so naΓ―ve, what's up there?" β
"It's not clear, but I feel a little dangerous." Wu Xie replied to him, supported his body with his elbows, held his breath and climbed up.
Above was a tunnel with a short distance, and Wu Xie looked ahead, and his eyes were full of large patches of dark green and red and yellow colored jade light.
He seemed to be in the middle of a brilliant heavy oil painting, the scorching light of the fire shining through the end of the tunnel, giving him the illusion that he was standing in a kaleidoscope scorched by flames.
The air was hot, Wu Xie reached out to the side and touched it, the meteorite wall was hot and scary, and he suddenly had a very ominous premonition.
The fat man was still waiting underneath, Wu Xie turned around and asked him to throw up the backpacks of both of them, and then dragged the fat man to climb up as well.
"? Why is it so burning here? The fat man screamed as soon as he looked at it, touched the meteorite wall, and wondered, "Are our brothers and sons suddenly teleported to the legendary Flame Mountain?" β
Wu Xie glanced at him silently, "Maybe...... Sort of. β
"Why do you look constipated, isn't there something really big in the back?" The fat man asked.
Wu Xie sighed and said melancholy, "The situation is even more tricky than I expected before, and it is likely that there will be a large magma pool behind it. β
"What's that?" The fat man plucked out his ears, he couldn't believe it, he threw the bag on his back and walked forward with his feet, and Wu Xie hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked quickly through the five or six meters long tunnel, standing at the edge of the tunnel mouth, looking at the surging and boiling red magma below, which occasionally spewed upwards with cones of fire, and the two looked at each other, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.
After standing on the edge of the cliff for a short while, the gas masks on the faces of the two of them already showed signs of being roasted, and they hurriedly retreated back into the tunnel.
Wu Xie took off his old gas mask, the hot air was no longer blocked, and when he hit his face, his face was instantly reddened by the firelight, as if he had been burned by a red-hot soldering iron.
After only taking it off for a while, his face was already too hot to stand it, and Wu Xie hurriedly took a new gas mask and put it on to block the heat.
As soon as he didn't pay attention to holding it steadily, the old gas mask fell straight into the abyss of fire below, like a bird that suddenly died in mid-air, and before it could fall into the magma below, it had already turned into ashes in the surging heat wave.
Seeing the gas mask die, the fat man's lips trembled uncontrollably, and he swallowed hard, "It is said that it is difficult to live in hell, and it is difficult to see the light of day." β
"Naive, we are really standing at the gate of hell this time, Lord Yama is estimated to have taken the book of life and death and sent two ghost-hooking ghosts to wait for us at the entrance of the station."
Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from Wu Xie's forehead, licked the dry skin that curled up at the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you go to the Nai He Bridge, since Zhang Haixing and they can get by, we will definitely be able to walk over." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed upward, "Look, the bridge is on it." β
The fat man looked up and saw more than a dozen bronze chains the thickness of buckets hanging in the air above the cliff, lying between the jade cliffs on both sides.
The large bronze chains were also wrapped with many slightly thinner chains, climbing on them like tree vines, and every other moment, a pear-shaped black thing fell under the chains, tightly wrapped around the thin chains, like a butterfly's cocoon.
Wu Xie squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that those "cocoons" were actually iron cages, but they were deformed by the scorching temperature here, and the cages should still contain something relatively heavy, and the chains were wrapped in black and pressed, and they couldn't see clearly.
The heat was so hot that the fat man put his hands together and put a lens tube in front of his eyes.
Suddenly, I don't know what I saw, the fat man didn't care about the heat, his eyes hurt, and he pointed to the top of the bronze chain and shouted: "Zhang Haixing, the grave, hey, those two bastards are walking on the Nai He Bridge." β
Hearing him say this, Wu Xie hurriedly moved his position, and also looked up in the posture of a fat man, and sure enough, he saw two black figures above the bronze chain, one thin and one strong, walking on the top of the chain with difficulty, but they went up early and were about to go to the other end.
"Quick, quick!" Wu Xie urged, "Let's also go to the 'bridge'." β
After that, he turned his head and looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw the pitons laid down by Zhang Haixing on the meteorite wall.
Wu Xie and the fat man grabbed the pitons and climbed up, and in a few moments they climbed to the same height as the bronze chains.
The two of them stood on the chains one after the other, and when they looked down, a sense of dizziness hit uncontrollably, although the two of them did not have a fear of heights, but under the threat of this height, coupled with the fatal magma at the bottom, the two of them still couldn't control some leg trembling, almost softened on the chain, and immediately retreated.
The fat man scolded a few swear words to strengthen his courage, and said to Wu Xie: "The fat man goes first, naΓ―ve, you go behind, it's really not good, let's lie on it and crawl over, at most our knees are hot and bald, it doesn't matter." β
The two changed positions, and the fat man took a deep breath, carefully stepped on the chains, opened his arms to maintain balance, and his attention was always focused on the front, but it was not difficult to walk.
The chains were very wide, and when I got to them, I realized that the thickest bronze chain was actually made of several thinner chains twisted like twisted twists, and there were many thinner chains wrapped around them, so be careful not to slip and fall down when you walked on them.
The fat man has already walked ahead for a while, and the more he goes, the smoother he goes.
Wu Xie closed his eyes to cheer himself up, and silently recited in his heart, "Water below, water below", after a few times, the fear in his heart was indeed reduced a lot, and he quickly stepped on the chains.
Zhang Haixing and Feng at the front had already come to the end, and they looked back at the back, and did not express surprise to Wu Xie and the others who were chasing after them.
Zhang Haixing waved her hand casually, and then took Feng to turn around and walk into the opposite cave.
