General Red continued, "Strictly speaking, there are actually only two Celestial Bones here, the two with legs, and the others are servants."

General Nan Ke said curiously: "Servants?"

"They are the servants and armies of the gods, and the purpose of their existence is to serve the gods."

General Red casually examined a phalange, cut open the section and looked at it twice. He Lingchuan saw on the side that the bones in it were still pale red.

After three dry years, the mortal corpses can't even be left with ashes, but the divine remains are still alive, so powerful.

General Red nodded with satisfaction: "These bodies probably fell into the water and did not see the light directly. Later, the mountains and rivers changed, the water disappeared, and they were buried deep underground, so that their vitality has been preserved to this day."

He Lingchuan took the opportunity to ask, "Are the gods also afraid of the sun?"

"I am not afraid of it in a short time, but the power of the true fire of the sun is better than perseverance." General Red replied, "These divine remains are incompatible with the world in the first place, and after being exposed to the wind and sun for hundreds of dry years, their vitality will be cut off little by little."

She added, "But these refer to the lower gods. As for the most powerful gods, they are indelible beings."

General Nan Ke asked everyone's questions: "How many gods are there outside the sky?"

There are so many divine remains in one shell city ruins.

"Five thousand years ago, less than 100,000, the war of the end of the world was reduced by at least half. Now, it's still less than 1450,000 when it's full."

"It took three dry years from the Great Tribulation to the present to give birth to 100,000 Heavenly Gods?" General Nan Ke shook his head, "Too bad, too bad."

One hundred thousand gods sounds like a lot, but in the time of three thousand years, it is equivalent to more than thirty gods being born every year.

If the fertility rate of mankind is so ridiculously low, it will not be far from extinction, right?

The soldiers laughed.

General Hong also seemed to smile: "In the past three dry years, how many human beings have multiplied in the world?"

"Uh......"

"It's not as much as you think, is it?"

But that's because of wars, plagues, and other natural disasters. There is no doubt about the ability of human beings to reproduce.

Without waiting for General Nan Ke to refute, General Hong continued: "The gods have a long lifespan, and it is very difficult to conceive offspring correspondingly, and the vitality and energy required are amazing, and they are by no means as easy as human beings, and they can be born if they want to. Three thousand years to increase 100,000 gods? Oh, thanks to the contribution of the human world."

In the last sentence, He Lingchuan was full of sarcasm.

At this time, another craftsman came to report:

"The roots and bones have grown together."

The roots of the old locust tree are intertwined with the remains of the gods, and some are even embedded in the bones, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other.

Those tiny roots look ...... Much like capillaries.

Through the roots of the tree, the curled remains of the god are closely connected to the dragon's claw old locust that grows overhead.

The Red General did not let the crowd forcibly separate them, but stroked the roots of the tree and muttered, "Interesting, the locust tree actually absorbs nutrients from the divine remains."

"The power of the gods could not have been used by the creatures of this realm, and it wasn't until the demonic energy appeared that this barrier was broken......," she smiled, "This dryad thought it had taken a big advantage, but in fact, it was subtly controlled by the gods. In another seventy or eighty years at most, this locust tree will become the second body of the god's remains. If the Xiqi Kingdom Zuo can continue until then, it will also fall to the bridle."

"Is there any remnant of consciousness in the remains?"

"A few years after the death of the gods, a new consciousness may be reborn in the skin." General Red explained, "This used to happen only to the most powerful gods. But now, time has passed, who can say for sure? 「

"Dig up all the remains and take them away, and as for this tree—" she jumped up and knocked on the trunk, "leave half of the stump to bury in the earth, and cut down the rest and take it away."

The craftsman's face was embarrassed: "General, our guy is useless.

This old tree is so hard that the tool breaks when you pinch it.

General Red pointed to the root of the tree at the bottom of the pit and said, "Cut off the taproot and try again."

He Lingchuan cut off two

The taproots, the craftsmen tried again, and sure enough, this time the tree was cut down.

The locust tree has spirituality and does not dare to oppose General Red again.

Everyone was in full swing, and General Nan Ke quietly asked General Hong, "What is the use of bringing these back?"

"Refining a kind of treasure, a terrible treasure." General Red smiled, "Even locust wood can be used, this is really a surprise."

He Lingchuan and his companions glanced at her a few times while cutting wood.

General Hong and Zhong Shengguang planned to attack Xiqi, in addition to dealing with the sinister problems given by Bega, did they also come for these gods?

What did she want to do with these gods?

It was only after such a hard work and mobilization of the people, and the dispatch of a large army to run a long distance, and a battle to destroy the country, before he got the remains of the gods, then the "treasure" that General Hong wanted to refine must not be an idle thing.

He could feel that as time went by, the entanglement between Panlong City and the gods and with Bega became deeper and deeper.

Rainy night, narrow valley.

The mountains and forests have been empty all night, the barren grass is dripping and raining, and the roots are still lying on the snails with shrunken heads. Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed into the valley and brought in their feet full of mud.

The grass was trampled, and the snail was trampled to pieces with a snap. But this little movement was easily covered up in the crackling rainy night, in the panting of everyone like cattle.

They ran in the darkness, but the valley was full of rocks, one foot high and one foot low. There was an unlucky guy who screamed "ahh

"Hurry up, hurry up, the monster is coming after you!"

"How did we get into the mountains?"

"Fool, it's good in the mountains!" The last man scolded, "Find a cave and hide."

But they were really unlucky, and they found a number of places with bad corners, not to mention caves, and there was not a single mountain nest.

The man at the foot of the mountain was anxious: "I want my mother's life, this is Niutou Mountain, there is only a mountain nest eye halfway up the mountain, there is no place to hide!" What can I do?"

A few people on the side didn't speak, and they glanced at each other.

What else can I do, if the monster catches up, just leave this lame cargo behind and run away first.

That way they might be able to hold on a little longer.

At that moment, his companion pointed ahead and shouted, "Eh, there's light ahead, there's light!"

Everyone looked at it, really.

There were two orange lights in the distance, and the position was very high, it should be halfway up the mountain, and it was still swaying with the wind and rain.

In the dark night as deep as ink, it is really conspicuous.

Where there is light, there should be people.

The cripple man said, "I've been to Niutou Mountain many times, how can there be people there!"

"Quick, get over it!" The men were overjoyed, and they still listened to him, "This is at least a hundred, no, two hundred!"

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and you have to climb up.

The most important thing is that they still carry a burden.

Everyone had a good heart, and they all threw down the wounded companion and strode away after the light.

"Don't leave me!" The unlucky man shouted, and when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he threw the bait again, "I still have two hundred taels of silver, whoever helps me go will give it to whomever I pass!"

Two hundred taels? There was a man who paused and hesitated slightly, but his companions did not look back.

yes, who would believe that this fool could have two hundred taels? At noon, when I eat steamed buns, I am reluctant to add meat. He snorted and rushed forward.

"Run!" Everyone was worried that the screams of the wounded would attract youkai. Several of them didn't dare to delay after falling, so they got up and continued to run.

The cries for help of the unlucky guy behind him became smaller and smaller, and they were soon overshadowed by the sound of wind and rain.

It's an obstacle course. More than a dozen people actually waded through the craggy stone formation in the dark night, and climbed halfway up the mountain with their hands and feet.

Finally, they found the light source.

A piece of eagle's beak rock protruding outward, below is a large and deep cave, about ten zhang in diameter, the higher the terrain is the further inside, the depth is pitch black, and the eye can not see.

The two orange lights they saw, He

However, it is an air dead wind lantern set up outside the cave with a long bamboo pole.

The pole is long, swings with the wind, and sways from a distance.

The dozen or so outlaws didn't have time to wonder why the lights were in that position, because there was a roar from behind.

They looked behind them, and several dark shadows were weaving through the rocks.

Youkai are coming!

"Quick, get in!" They hurried into the cave.

There were several huts in the cave, all with lights on, and figures swaying inside.

The exterior walls of the house are covered with a thick layer of mud.

When they went up, they knocked on the door: "Open the door, help!"

As a result, after two slaps, the door opened.

Everyone looked inside, huh, no one?

Where is the figure reflected in the window?

But without thinking about it, everyone rushed into the house, bolted the door, and blew out the lamp on the table.

The walls are very solid to the touch, as if they are made of triple soil, and the door panel is also covered with a thick layer of mud, and it is almost impossible to find where the door is when closed.

Soon, there was a sound of kicking and tapping outside the door, and it was a youkai scratching the ground.

The crowd held their breath.

Then the youkai started scratching the door, sizzling.

I heard a "pop", and the light on the table came on.

Everyone was startled, but when they turned their heads, they didn't see anyone at the table.

The lights are on their own!

The monsters outside the door were also stunned for a moment, and were immediately attracted by the light, gathered over and pushed the door hard.

The crowd rushed over and blocked the door with all their might.

As for the window, it's too small for the youkai to get in.

However, they didn't last long, and an irresistible force came, and only a "squeak" was heard————

The door opened.

There is no barrier between youkai and humans.

Immediately afterward, the room was filled with roars, screams, and roars, as well as the thud of objects toppling over.

The window paper was splattered with blood.

The door closed silently again, unnoticed by the creatures inside.

Soon, there was a creaking sound in the room.

The mountain wind was stronger, and the two long bamboo poles outside the cave shook violently.

The valley is once again quiet.

Since there were no other visitors, the lantern under the rock went out automatically before the next gust of wind blew.

Heaven and earth are silent, everything is in the sound of rain.

...........

Chiyan country, Shuangyi City.

He Lingchuan arrived here in the early morning, and there were only two main streets in the city, and the prosperity was more than a step worse than that in the territory of Baoshu King.
