Chapter 139: Gu God Mountain
It was already three days after reaching Gu Shentong, and everyone walking in the dense forest suddenly felt that their eyes suddenly opened up, and their vision was broad, and there were bare tree stumps in front of them, thousands of trees had been cut down, and within a radius of dozens of miles, not a single tree could be seen.
And in the distance, a continuous mountain range is scorched black, there seem to be countless caves on the mountain, and bright red flames are sticking out of the cave, as if scarlet heads are sticking out, constantly licking towards the outside of the cave, the whole mountain range has been scorched black, as if it has experienced the baptism of fire.
The clearing left by the felling of trees surrounds this mountain range.
"This is Gu God Mountain?" Xie Yun asked in surprise.
Wisps of black smoke shot into the sky, and the fire in the cave burned continuously, and it was unknown when it would be extinguished.
"That's right, this is Gu Shentong. Lao Ba said, "After Gu Shentong was defeated and retreated, the new leader of Gu Shentong, Blood Shadow, set a fire to Gu Shentong in order to prevent Gu Shentong from being occupied by the people of the major clan alliances. ”
And Boss Qi also spoke: " It is rumored that the underground of Gu Shentong is connected to a vein, these ores are a kind of black stone, very flammable, people in southern Xinjiang often mine them as fuel, and now you can still see the tongue of fire, in fact, this vein is burning, this vein is so big, I don't know how long it will burn, this fire has been burning for half a year, during which there have been many heavy rains, but it can't extinguish the flames, after listening to the witches of the major clans, they said that there is a bigger flame in the underground vein, this is the earth fire, it can't be extinguished by manpower, it can only be burned out by itself, in order to prevent forest fires, so the witches ordered the trees around the Gu God Mountain to be completely cut down。 ”
Seeing this, Xie Yun said angrily: "It's all burned like this, where else can there be anything left?"
Boss Qi smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I'll see you later." ”
With that, his fat body staggered forward. The people of the horse gang followed, and Lao Ba greeted Xie Yun and followed with Xie Yun.
Tongues of fire erupted from each hole, and as the group approached, they could already feel the temperature around them gradually rising.
After almost a few miles of progress, a row of wooden stakes appeared that stretched into the distance.
And there was a person nailed to each stake, all naked, among them were old and young women and children, there were also strong men, and there were even many Gu masters with hideous faces and wings. Apparently they all endured terrible torture before they died. They were nailed to a stake, and although they had been dead for a long time, the temperature around them was very high, and the water in their bodies had evaporated, forming a dried corpse, half a year apart, and it did not decompose.
"The great clans are showing their merits," said Lao Ba, "but it's a pity. The people of Gu Shentong who were caught in the war basically ended up like this. ”
Although he had killed many people, the scene in front of him was still unbearable for Xie Yun, and countless wooden stakes circled around the mountain range where Gu Shentong was located. I don't know how many people died.
Half a year later, the stench on these dried corpses has long been gone, and everyone found a place to tie the horses well, and then walked through the dried corpses. Keep moving forward.
As they got closer and closer to Gu Shentong, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and many of the caravan guys were already sweating. I was already soaking wet, and I just felt as if I was in a huge oven, and the heat waves were rushing in my face, making me dizzy and almost about to suffer from heat stroke.
"Boss Qi, I'm afraid you can't continue to move forward, otherwise the brothers won't be able to support it. Lao Ba Chongqi boss said.
I saw Boss Qi smile slightly, and then I saw him take out a small brocade bag from his waist, and then poured out more than ten miles of blue beads from the bag, with the appearance of blue beads, everyone only felt that the air around them seemed to be cold, and the scorching temperature seemed to have been isolated.
Boss Qi handed the blue beads to Lao Ba and said, "These are Beihai ice beads, divide them, one per person, carry them with you, and they can isolate the heat." ”
Lao Ba hurriedly did as he said, and everyone had this Beihai ice bead to protect themselves, and sure enough, they no longer felt the scorching temperature, they only felt cold all over, and some people only felt so cold that they shivered, and almost wanted to get some warmth in the Gu God Mountain that was close to the burning Gu God.
"Come with me!" Boss Qi's sissy tone seemed to have a hint of excitement that could not be concealed, and the whole person walked quickly towards Gu Shentong.
The crowd had no choice but to follow him. Xie Yunlu secretly observed the surroundings, but after all, he found nothing, so he had to follow everyone.
Everyone quickly went up the mountain, the rocks on the mountain had been baked red by the heat, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of charred ashes, I don't know how many plants and trees were burned by the fire to leave such thick ashes. And beneath the many ashes, there was black smoke, and it seemed that there were still flames burning in it.
Stepping on the thick black ashes, a black carbon floc suddenly rose, these charcoal floc that exuded a burnt smell flew lightly in the air, sticking to people's clothes and shattering at the touch, leaving a small pool of black stains, not long after, all of them were disgraced, so not embarrassed, but they covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and their footsteps did not stop.
Before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, some people felt that it was difficult to breathe, the oxygen in the air was already very thin, and those monks in the Qi refining period could still hold on, while those ordinary people were about to suffocate.
Boss Qi didn't care so much, and only left one sentence: "If you want to get rich, continue to follow me." With that, he walked towards the mountain.
Lao Ba also understood that these ordinary people could no longer move forward, so he ordered them to go down the mountain quickly, and not to give up their lives in order to make a fortune. And he took the three Qi refining period monks and Xie Yun to continue to catch up with Boss Qi's footwork.
Halfway through, Lao Ba saw an opportunity and whispered to Xie Yun: "Brother, I feel that there is something wrong with this Boss Qi, seeing that he is just an ordinary person, but he is not affected by the high temperature here, we have to be careful, if something happens, only by working together can we get through the difficulties together." ”
Xie Yun nodded, he didn't know what Boss Qi, who was really a monster, had in mind, now that he had arrived here, he could only take one step at a time.
When you come to the mountain, you can feel the number of caves in the mountain, and every time you move forward, you can see a cave with raging flames, and the whole mountain seems to have been connected by these caves, and it feels like a huge ant nest.
Boss Qi quickly stopped outside a cave, this cave did not seem to be connected with other caves, because there was no flame coming out of the cave entrance, the outer edge of the cave was already illuminated by the surrounding firelight, and the heel of the cave was shrouded in dark shadows.
The guys of the Arima Gang were happy when they saw this cave and said, "Great, this cave is not on fire, we can go in, maybe there are treasures left by Gu Shentong inside!"
"Idiot!" Lao Ba scolded angrily, "Since this cave is not on fire, then the people of the Great Clan Alliance must have already entered it to see it, do you think they will leave us any treasures?"
The rest of the people also felt that this was the truth when they heard it, so they turned their puzzled eyes to Boss Qi.
Boss Qi said confidently: "I said that I have a secret method, you can just follow me." With that, he stepped into the cave.
The remaining five people, including Xie Yun, glanced at each other, and Lao Ba made a look, so everyone clenched their weapons one after another, and followed Boss Qi into the cave.
In the middle of the cave, there is a long tunnel, the tunnel is very wide, and there is no gravel on the ground, so it is easy to walk. As we went deeper, some colorful murals began to appear on both sides of the tunnel, most of which had peeled away due to the hesitant and continuous heat, and only some could be faintly seen.
One of the murals attracted people's attention, although this mural has also peeled off a lot, but you can still see the general content, only to see that the upper end of the mural is painted with continuous green mountains, and the shape is very similar to the mountain range where Gu Shentong is located. And under the mountains, a large area is filled with yellow paint, which seems to represent the stratum, and there are some black lines in between, which seem to represent the ore veins, and at the bottom of the stratum, there is a red, and in this full red, there is a huge shadow, and in the shadow there are two red dots, which seem to be the eyes of the shadow.
"This ...... It looks like an underground demon. One of the caravan guys took a breath and said.
"Not necessarily," said Lao Ba, "this may be a legend about this world, which has various versions in southern Xinjiang, where I last passed through the western part of southern Xinjiang, where I met a small tribe that insisted that this world was speezed by the sneezing of an incomparably huge elephant." ”
Lao Ba's story caused a lot of laughter, so everyone didn't take this mural to heart, but continued to follow Boss Qi to the depths of the tunnel.
The terrain of the tunnel is getting lower and lower, it seems to lead to the underground, as they continue to move forward, everyone began to encounter some destroyed formations, from the remnants of the tattered formations, it seems that the power of the large array that was previously placed here is very powerful, but it has been broken by the masters of the major clans, so the group did not encounter any danger.
And as it went down more and more, there were more and more remnant formations found along the way, and it seemed that this place seemed to be an important place for Gu God Mountain, which is why there were so many formations here. As soon as they thought of this, the Ma Gang people couldn't help but get excited, if this is really an important place, and Boss Qi really has the magic power to find treasures, then what precious treasures will be discovered at that time, which has already made people feel excited when they think about it.
After walking for almost several hours, I finally came to the end of the tunnel, which was a huge grotto, almost the size of half a football field, and on the wall of the front of the grotto, the totem of the Gu God Mountain was carved. (To be continued......)
