Chapter 136: The Source
"What's going on again!" Lao Yu collapsed.
At lunchtime, the entire plain surrounded by green mountains is filled with golden mist. Mixed in the smoke of the cooking, it is difficult to detect.
They were busy lighting fires and cooking, not feeling their physical strength gradually exhausting and sweat dripping.
Ren Yi looked into the distance and looked at the rising clouds in shock: "Such a large area is its territory? ”
Bang!
There was another tremor under the feet of the people, and the sound of slag falling sounded, and the foundation of the whole stockade began to collapse.
"There's something down there!" The crowd exclaimed.
Thorn –
Ren Yi jumped back, and just where he was standing, a rusty spear suddenly pierced the ground!
Large rocks began to collapse out of thin air, and a hole the size of a bowl appeared in the ground, black holes, and slag fell down.
The ground has exposed holes, making people's scalp tingle, and the whole plain seems to have turned into a huge honeycomb coal.
Click.
A rusty and deformed helmet suddenly popped out of the hole, and a rotten strange face underneath was shriveled with only a layer of skin, peeling off like fish scales, and only two holes in the eyeballs.
It was covered in rusted and torn armor, its muscles atrophied and cracked, its limbs so deformed by the heavy layers of soil that it could even see its parasite-like roots between the cracks of its bones.
For thousands of years, all the corpses that have been assimilated by the bamboo forest have been resurrected at this moment, and they have come forward one after another!
Ren Yi was incredulous, "What age are these corpses?" ”
The dense corpses emerged from the hollow like a swarm of hatching bees, and the entire land was covered in an instant.
The mountains surrounding the isolated earthen platform are also falling rocks, and ancient corpses are constantly emerging from them, climbing up the cliffs.
"'Ghost Buddha'!"
Ren Yi's hands were clenched weakly, constantly twisting.
There was a clattering sound in Siye, and countless corpses were twisted and bent like being crushed by an invisible giant hand, and all the limbs were broken.
By the way, why are there so many ancient puppets?
Ren Yi looked at the broken armor scattered in front of him, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his eyes gradually became firm.
It shows that the bamboo under its feet is very old, and when it captured the puppet, it was still in ancient times!
Chances are, it's the source of the "cage"!
They come out of deep layers of soil...... Ren Yi thought quickly, could it be that the taproot is not on the surface, but at the bottom?
Ren Yi was surprised.
"Another batch has come out!" Wu Sihai held the handle of the machine gun tightly, both arms were numb, and he broke down and yelled, "I can't hold on!" ”
Ren Yi twisted his hands again, and an ancient corpse was like an ant frozen in a huge jelly, and it was crushed into pieces one after another.
"You hold on!" Taking advantage of the gap, Ren Yi suddenly looked at the big dark cave under his feet, "I want to go down and have a look." ”
"What?!"
Wu Sihai's eyes widened, Lao Yu and the others were immediately frightened, holding Ren Yi's thighs with their hands and feet and shaking their heads wildly, "Down there are the nests of these corpses!" ”
"Dao Chief, what will we do if you go down!"
"yes, we don't wait to be bitten to death!" The people of Jiuquzhai also stood up from the car, and their anxious eyes were all fixed on Ren Yi.
Ren Yi frowned and glanced at it, this group of people is indeed a problem.
I don't know if it's feasible, so I can only take a risk.
Ren Yi pulled out the "Nanhua Sutra" with his backhand, "'Treasure Letter of Doom'!" ”
Hmmm-
The pages of the book were turned, the wind was howling, and the gorgeous jewelry box inlaid with various colored gems destroyed by "Anandassha" appeared in Ren Yi's hand again!
Ren Yi was overjoyed, "Haha, the things that were destroyed by 'Anandasesha' are back!" ”
The original ability of the "Treasure of Doom" was to absorb internal life energy, and it could only enter in one direction, but it could never get out.
"If the power of this thing is reversed, it may be used to protect the homeless. With my current life energy, I may be able to support the completion of the transformation. ”
"'Ghost Buddha'!" Ren Yi shouted, and the skin on his hands immediately weathered and fell off.
"The 'Treasure of Doom' does not absorb the life energy inside, and does not allow the outside world to enter."
As soon as the words fell, Ren Yi held his breath and concentrated, and the golden light poured back into the "round sky".
The golden frenzy turned to the "Ghost Buddha" to pour it, Ren Yi was drenched in cold sweat, and the "Doom Treasure Letter" suddenly emitted a burst of golden light, and after the light was extinguished, the black wooden box immediately turned white!
Ren Yi stared at the jewelry box on his palm, "It's transformed!" Now it's a shield, and it's never allowed to be invaded! ”
Bang –
Ren Yi threw it in the air, and a black silk thread quickly swam in the air, enveloping Lao Yu and the others, like a huge sea anemone tentacle!
"Dao Chief!" Lao Yu shouted in panic.
"Stay inside, don't worry!" Ren Yi shouted, "Never come out!" ”
In the distance, countless ancient corpses with armor were still pouring towards Lao Yu and the others, but they couldn't get close to them at all, huge fleshy bubbles like black jellyfish wrapped them inside, and these ancient corpses rushed up and were immediately rebounded, no matter how they waved the spear in their hands and fought in midair, they couldn't cause a single scratch on it.
Okay, it's time to tackle the most important things.
The living corpses encountered along the way have only been formed in recent years, and there must be something wrong with the continuous emergence of ancient corpses here!
The "Treasure of Doom" quickly consumed energy, and he felt that every second he held on was difficult.
Ren Yi had a crazy pain in his head, the "sky is round" spun rapidly, the light flow surged in and out, his own healing ability was also opened to the maximum, and the muscles of his limbs were hot.
"Time is running out!"
He no longer hesitated, and ran towards the deep black holes on the ground.
Looking down from above, countless rotting ancient soldiers crawled out of the cave and surged in the opposite direction of Ren Yi. Ren Yi was also gradually approaching the entrance of the cave, and everywhere he went, the tide of corpses was separated by him.
His surroundings were full of ancient corpses and remnants, like a netherworld hell.
Ren Yi looked at the deep hole where dry hands kept sticking out, and jumped forward.
"'Tatsukaze'!"
His figure floated and fell.
I don't know how deep it is, and the smell of rancid smell comes from it. The wind whistled past my ears, and the corridors were sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, and on both sides were craggy stone walls like knives, on which corpses were pasted like a degrading chrysalis.
They even fell by rubbing their armor and knocked off several unconscious corpses.
The light in front of Ren Yi's eyes gradually disappeared, and there was darkness below that could not be seen at a glance.
The further down he went, the more he felt the clear ripples of radiation, repeatedly hitting the stone wall like a tide. There was almost a howl in his head, and countless bloody cuts were cut on his face.
"The radiation concentration is so high, it should be here, no mistake!" Ren Yi endured the extreme pain and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
At this moment, a dark and faint giant shadow stood at Ren Yi's feet, like a sharp sword, stabbing straight into the sky outside the black hole!
"This is the essence of the 'cage'?"
Ren Yi hurriedly stabilized his body and hovered over the thing.
When he saw the scene under the cave clearly, he was stunned by the scene in front of him-
It was a huge bronze tree!
The tree is nearly ten meters tall and stands in the middle of a hollow hole.
It's not so much a tree as it is a collection of countless curved tentacles.
The trunk of the tree is made up of countless twisted lines, exploding at the top, extending in all directions, revealing abnormal weirdness and madness. The greenish-brown patina bulges densely on the mottled surface, bubbling with small bubbles, like dense tumors parasitized by bloodsucking insect swarms.
The distorted shape, the rusty smell of bronze, gives you goosebumps at a glance.
The underside of the tree was covered with white bones in ancient armor, covering almost the entire cavern.
Bronze Tree?!
It's almost exactly the same as the tree that "fell into the moon"!
However, the body of the "cage" is not a bamboo, but a bronze object? Ren Yi could barely believe what he was seeing, how could this be......
"I understand everything!"
Ren Yi's brain was thinking quickly, and he suddenly shouted.
"This weird bronze tree is the root of the mutation!"
In other words, the "cage" is not an adventist, but a secondary monster!
Bamboo forests have deep roots that penetrate almost the entire land, making them susceptible to radiation contamination from the soil. For thousands of years, the bamboo in the southwest has been constantly polluted by this bronze tree, forming a "cage".
The people of Jiuquzhai became living corpses not because of the bamboo forest, but because of the bronze ware.
Their entire stockade made a living by digging and selling bronzes; Judging from the collection of "Falling Moon", there are a lot of this kind of bronze trees, and it is likely to become a totem of civilization, and Jiuquzhai may have dug up a lot.
The villagers have been immersed in an environment full of strange radiation for a long time, which has caused some of the frail people to have abnormal changes, so they have become living corpses.
And the fact that twins are prone to appear in their village is also deeply affected by the "reproduction" ability of the Adventists.
Whether it is Xiao Yulian or Jiang Zhai, they all say that the land here is very fertile, which is also the result of "reproduction".
However, the degree of these two changes is weak, and they have not yet reached the point of mutation. Getting rid of it as soon as possible will gradually return to normal.
Ren Yi looked down at the quaint workmanship of the giant tree under his feet, he was afraid that it had been standing here for thousands of years.
It has profoundly affected the entire land.
What's even more terrifying is that this thing is obviously artificial, and its purpose is sacrifice!
In other words, there was once an organization like the Enlightenment Society, which regarded the Advent as a miracle and tried to communicate with it in every possible way!
And they succeeded, and the giant tree was an "antenna" to convey the message.
This kind of transmission has not been interrupted to this day......
Its essence did not come to this world at all, and it was already so powerful......
Hmmm-
Just as he was hanging in the air and looking at the bronze tree, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.
It was as if a pair of giant eyes had opened in the deepest part of the deep space, and they were looking down at him motionlessly.
