Chapter 18 Lifespan
After walking four or five miles,
"Why is this woodland so quiet, shouldn't we go back to the Ancient Forbidden Land?"
Towering ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, the primeval mountains and forests are quiet, there are no birds and beasts roaring, and there are no bees and butterflies flying, and all the animals seem to have disappeared all at once.
There was no mistake in the direction, but everyone faintly felt that something was wrong, and they were more cautious and cautious.
Walking forward can be about more than 2,000 meters, all kinds of towering ancient trees gradually thinned, a relatively open area appeared in the eyes of everyone, very flat and dry hard mountain, stepping on it feels like stepping on marble as solid, here there is no grass, only some huge rocks.
The boulders in this place were horizontal, blocking everyone's sight just now, and it was not until this time that they could see the scene in front of them clearly through a pile of rubble, and everyone was taken aback.
A huge lake lay in front of it, silent as iron, without a wave, and the most surprising thing was its color, pitch black, like ink, black people.
The black lake was lifeless, showing no signs of life, and not only that, but the surrounding open mountain terrain was a barren land, where not even a single weed could grow, and it seemed to be a forbidden area for life.
At this time, everyone else also heard a strange noise, very low, as if they were humming in pain.
"Click"
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, as if something hard had cracked.
"There...... It's there! Liu Yiyi's face was pale, and she pointed to the shore of the black lake, where there was a boulder more than ten meters long.
It was as if something was lying behind the boulder, revealing only part of its body, and the thick skin on its body was as cold and hard as jet-black metal, with the texture and luster of ugin.
"Leave it alone, get out of here!"
Huge black lakes, hard mountains with no grass, inhabiting such a place, must not be a good beast.
"Click"
The sound of shattering was heard again, and the low roar seemed to be even more painful, as if it was struggling, and then it flipped its body and slammed into the boulder.
The boulder, which was seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters long, was knocked over at once and rolled into the inky black water, startling a black wave.
It was only then that everyone finally saw that the beast was no more than three meters long and less than one and a half meters high, not as huge as imagined, but it was precisely because of this that it was even more shocking that the three-meter-long body could knock over a boulder more than ten meters long and seven or eight meters high into the lake, such a huge force was really terrifying.
It is less than three meters long, like a large black iron block, and it looks very strong and has an incomparable sense of strength. At first glance, it looks like a strong bull, but on closer inspection, it is very different, with nine sharp horns growing on its head, which are incomparably sharp and black. And it had five eyes, and blood shot out from the opening and closing. The sharp teeth more than half a foot long in the wide mouth are exposed like daggers, and the cold light is shining, hideous and terrifying, with a tragic and ferocious aura.
This is a terrifying beast that has never been heard of or seen, and it is extremely ferocious at a glance, and the mere sight of it from a distance makes people's hearts palpitate.
"It's like it's molting......" someone whispered, looking surprised.
On the back of the black beast, a large hole was slowly cracking, revealing some of the newly born bodies inside, even more black and shiny, as if made of Ugin.
"Let's go, while it's molting and shedding its shell, let's get away from here!"
It is shedding its shell like a cicada, and this way of growing is really strange to a fierce beast, it looks very demonic, but fortunately it is transforming, and if it is not human, everyone would not dare to imagine the terrible consequences.
The crowd was in no danger, and they walked around the black lake, and the low, painful roar behind them faded away until it disappeared.
Climb a low mountain again, look at the peak in the distance, the buildings there are more and more clear, the scale is very vast, the palace is continuous, like the heavenly palace falling on the earth.
Ye Qing knew that the palace was a huge opportunity, and in the original book, Lin Jia and the others also got huge benefits to be qualified to compete with the world's top Tianjiao.
"How do I feel hot...... "A female student said to another female student next to her, a little embarrassed.
"I feel that way, too."
At this moment, everyone discovered each other's abnormality, and the skin all over their bodies was terrifyingly red, as if they were about to drip blood, and everyone felt extremely hot, as if there was a fire burning in their bodies.
This was not caused by the heat at all, but the physical condition, and everyone felt more and more burning pain in the flesh, as if they had been steamed in the oven.
"I ...... Stand...... It's uncomfortable! A female classmate squatted on the ground in pain, shouting: "It hurts, the flesh and blood seem to be drying up......" She couldn't control herself, tears flowed for a long time, fell to the ground, and kept turning around.
Then the second and third students couldn't bear it, they were covered in blood red, and there were traces of blood oozing from their skin, and they fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
"What the hell is going on, what's going on?!"
Everyone realized the gravity of the matter, and at this moment there was no one left to stand, almost all of them fell to the ground, letting out a scream of pain, flesh as if it was being peeled off, and the whole body was in pain like a knife.
"Ah......h
"I don't want to die......" someone shouted in horror.
This is a sudden catastrophe, no one knows why it happened, no one knows their condition at all, only feels like they are being scolded, and their bodies are slowly being dismembered.
"Let me die...... It's uncomfortable to die......"
Struggling, crying, rolling, screaming, many of them were on the verge of despair, screaming loudly, the pain blurred their minds.
Eventually, everyone's bodies were covered with a layer of blood, like a blood-colored flame burning. Fierce struggles, screams of pain, this mountain is no longer peaceful, and the birds and beasts nearby are scattered in shock.
It is an inhuman torture, like being in purgatory, experiencing the most tragic torture in the world. In the end, the pain caused everyone to pass out, and no one could stay sane.
I don't know how long it took for the mountains to gradually fall silent, and the low roar of pain disappeared.
