Chapter 138: The Dried Corpse in the Tree Hole

Lu Jing used the magic technique to obtain two important pieces of information from the lizard's mouth.

One of them is still about the white forest snake, as Lu Jing expected, like this existence standing at the top of the food chain of Shuosen Island, its movements are no longer watched by other transcendent creatures all the time, especially the activity area where the former often appears, for them is an absolute forbidden area of death.

The direction in which the lizards came, that is, the brown-red woods to the northwest, where white forest snakes appear every day.

This was the end of the question, but because of Lu Jing's absolute control over the lizard, the latter told all the news he knew about the brown-red forest in one go.

This includes the second piece of information, where a battle broke out with someone, and the humans were defeated.

The lizard was nearby at the time, but it was hiding in secret, not to watch the show, but to focus on the flesh and blood with extraordinary characteristics on both sides of the battle.

Different from the cultivation of human transcendents, the way these transcendent creatures enhance their own transcendent abilities is extremely simple and crude, that is, to devour the flesh and blood of other transcendent creatures as much as possible, and to promote qualitative changes with quantitative changes.

Coincidentally, this lizard happened to have a strong perception of this aspect, otherwise it would not have rushed into the trap prepared by Lu Jing in advance for the sake of that half bottle of blood.

The result of the battle was undoubtedly the defeat of the humans, and the lizard did not dare to trouble the white forest snake, so it set its sights on the humans who constantly exuded bloody aura.

However, when the lizard tracked down a tree with strange "fruits" growing between its branches, it saw the man burrowing in, and then it could no longer smell the smell of the other party, and tried to lean up to check it, but smelled a very disgusting smell, and finally had to turn around and leave.

After Lu Jing learned this information, he immediately judged that the "fruit" was most likely part of the shelter built by the man, and the exterior was also protected, so that he could avoid the pursuit of the lizard.

At this time, it is not clear whether this person is dead or alive, but this does not prevent Lu Jing from going to that place to take a look.

To be able to establish a shelter in Shuosen Island, and specially arranged around it to make it clear that he intends to stay here for a long time, if this person is still alive, he must have a full understanding of the white forest python, and it can play a big role in the battle to connect with him, even if he is dead or has left a long time ago, he may have left something worth referring to in his shelter.

With the lizard's memory, Lu Jing and his party, who had a clear goal, quickly found the area where it was tracking the person at that time.

Stepping on the vine platform to climb to a high place, Lu Jing raised his hand and tore off the grass ring that had dried up and turned yellow tied to a branch, turned his head and said,

"Sure enough, there are other people here, the grass ring should be a marker, to prevent getting lost in the forest, we are in the right direction...... Check around to see if there's anything like this. ”

"Captain, I think I've found it. ”

Fu Ju put down the binoculars, raised his finger to the left front, and the other three looked in the direction of her finger, only to see a small wooden platform quite eye-catching among the branches of a giant tree hugged by more than a dozen people a hundred meters away.

"Don't be in a hurry to lean over, Xu Xi, let's take a look at the situation first. ”

If there were still people inside, they would not be treated as enemies if they rushed over, Lu Jing looked at Xu Xi beside him and said.

"Understood, wait a minute. ”

Xu Chu lifted the wheel of life, looked at the platform through its sniper scope, and continued,

"I didn't see anyone for a while, and the trunk behind the platform seemed to have been opened with a door, probably a wooden house opened inside the trunk...... There is a ventilated window on the top, but it is closed, and there should be no one inside, and there is a lot of moss growing around the platform outside, which is not like a state of frequent activity, and it is almost certain that it is uninhabited. ”

Manipulating the vines to lift the group to the edge of the branch where the platform is located, Lu Jing first glanced at the wooden platform covered with damp moss, and then turned his gaze to the wooden door on the trunk, perhaps because it has not been opened and closed for a long time, the edge can only vaguely see the outline of a half-person high, if it is not for a half-moon-shaped handle in the middle, it is really difficult to recognize.

"Don't move, I'm not sure if this platform can support everyone's weight. ”

Lu Jing stepped onto the platform first, and did not rashly reach out to open the door, but imprinted black compound eyes on the surface of the branch, and when his mind turned, the bark of the tree, including the wooden door, gradually cracked.

Sure enough, the inside of the trunk in this part of the area had already been hollowed out, and Lu Jing only cut a small part, and the whole bark drooped down, and at the same time, he could smell a strong smell of herbs.

However, when they saw the scene inside, everyone fell silent, only to see a dry corpse dressed in a navy blue robe sitting in a tree hole about the size of the platform at Lu Jing's feet, and a large number of crooked words were carved on the walls of the tree hole around it.

"How could there be a Taoist priest here...... Monster Hunter?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked with some hesitation.

"No, it's not that simple, I've wondered since just now why anyone knew before everyone else that there was a white snake on Shuosen Island, and you think, if this is really a demon hunter, is it necessary to fight for a snake on an uninhabited island?"

Lu Jing pointed to some bottles and jars in the tree cave and the herbs that had not yet been used, and then said,

"These things, combined with such a strong herbal smell, are enough to prove that he has tried to heal himself before...... Even if he is seriously injured, he still refuses to temporarily return to Qianhe Island to recuperate, but stays in place to heal, looking at his state, it is likely that he is seriously injured and will not be cured, will a normal demon hunter make this kind of response in the face of monsters that he cannot defeat?"

The Demon Hunter is not a guy who wants to go up to fight others when he sees a monster or a transcendent creature, not to mention that the white forest snake lives in the uninhabited Shuosen Island and has never attacked merchant ships, so the degree of harm must be uprooted at all.

"Judging by the size of the tree hole, he didn't leave a vacant seat for the second person from the beginning, so this person must have come specifically for the forest worm, maybe he wanted something from it?"

Gorman looked around the tree hole, his eyes returned to the dried corpse, and suddenly as if he had found something, he spoke again,

"Captain, do you see what's in the sleeve robe on the left arm of the corpse?"

Lu Jing, who had just approached the door, heard Gorman's prompt, and immediately summoned a vine to open his robe.

A neatly folded yellowed note and a jade pendant are revealed.

Still using vines to retrieve these two things, Lu Jing unfolded the note with one hand, and brought the jade pendant to his eyes with the other, and was stunned in place after just a glance, and brought the jade pendant closer, and said in a deep voice,

"Passage to heaven...... This jade pendant has the word Tongtian on it!"

"This can't be a Heavenly Daoist, right?"

The sudden discovery made Fu Ju not react for a while, and he was stunned for a moment before asking.

"It shouldn't be, and regardless of whether the Tongtian Daoist died or not, when I went to inquire about the news of the Tongtian Daoist before, I learned that his age is also ancient, and then you look at the corpse in the tree hole, whether it is a skeleton or a skin, it is not at all what an elderly person should have, this jade pendant is not so much a status symbol of the Tongtian Daoist, in my opinion, it is more like the identity card of the Tongtian Dojo!"

"Xu Chu is right, he is not a Tongtian Daoist, but a disciple in the Tongtian Dojo, this jade pendant has his Dao name behind it, Minghui Daoren...... This makes sense, the statue in the Tongtian Dojo was taken away by demons, and as a disciple, he naturally has the obligation to take it back. ”

Flipping the jade pendant in his hand, Lu Jing pursed his lips, recalling his previous encounter in the current Tongtian Dojo, that is, the Songyue Dojo, and frowned again,

"It's strange that the giant carp didn't mention it when it asked us to look for the idol, and it stands to reason that since it was so concerned about the idol, there was no reason why it didn't know that the Tongtian Dojo had sent someone here...... Why did it make a gesture of what had just happened?"

Thinking about doubts in his mind, Lu Jing didn't stop moving, unfolded the note, checked the content on it, and the next second, his expression became more and more strange.

"In them are his last words?"

Xu Chu noticed Lu Jing's expression and couldn't help asking.

"No, just look at it. ”

Handing the note to Xu Chu, Lu Jing walked into the tree hole and began to look at the words on the surrounding walls.

"If you want to control the white worm, you must first summon its soul with the earth gang, and then fix its body with a god statue, so that you can take its soul and make it respect your command...... What is recorded on this piece of paper is how to control the forest worms?"

Reading out the content word by word, Xu Chu only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, this Taoist priest from the Tongtian Dojo did not come to grab the idol at all, in fact, the idol was most likely sent by him, along with a talisman!

"The giant carp is lying to us, the idol was not taken away by the forest snake at all, but the people of the Tongtian Dojo wanted to subdue the latter, and in this case, it obviously failed...... A Taoist temple, why should you try to subdue this transcendent creature and assist in cultivation?"

Gorman furrowed his brow.

The three people outside were confused by the information revealed by the contents of the paper, but they heard Lu Jing's recitation from the tree hole:

"You see the head of a snake and the body of a snake, the armless fish scales, the earth ox and the Trojan horse, you don't blame it, this strange thing is not as good as a dream, the dream is not as strange, there are ears, eyes, hands and arms, it is strange. Words can't speak, wisdom can't think. If the dragon is like a dragon, if the snake is like a turtle, if the fish is like a clam, the dragon can do it. Jiao, Jiao, Jiao, not a dragon, nor a snake, a turtle, a fish, or a clam...... What do these words mean?"

Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~

The call of the transsion conch sounded at this time.

"Hello?"

"Lu Jing, we saw a monster!"

A voice with a bit of excitement came out of the panic.

"What, you found the Snake so quickly?"

Lu Jing looked surprised, he didn't expect the progress of the government's fleet to be so fast.

"Uh...... I'm talking about other monsters, and as for the Mori Python, we saw a huge white snake scale, which must have been shed by the Mori Python!"

Tang Tuan added again.
