Is the off-road vehicle they are riding in now the same one they were in before entering the mummy forest?

Zheng Shu's heart was getting more and more confused and anxious, and he was about to inform everyone of the clues he had found, when he heard Zhan Meng pulling his throat on the roof of the off-road vehicle, roaring excitedly and happily like a gorilla: "Day~ah~I~look~to~grass~plain~"

"Where, where?!" Ying Yiling and Song Quyou, who had been closing their eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them, were also so excited when they heard it, staring at the green grass in front of them, their eyes shining, "We've really returned to this grassland!" ”

Their "adventure" out of Naurlota City began with stepping out of a vast grassland, so when this grassland reappeared before their eyes, Ying Yiling, Song Quyou, Zhan Meng and others should have thought that they had successfully left the Temple of the Lost Lands and could return to Naurlota City as long as they rode all the way forward.

Who would have thought that in the end, the off-road vehicle would take them to the entrance to the lush, green, seemingly peaceful and beautiful mummy forest instead of the red-roofed gray bricks and exotic architecture.

- Like the protagonists of the game Run from the Temple, they go around and around, and finally return to the original starting point of the adventure.

The impact of this cognition was too great, so that everyone was once again shaken off by the inertia released by Bu Jiuzhao's sudden braking, and they couldn't find the north, and they didn't have the energy to say anything else, so they only opened their mouths wide and stumbled and asked, "Step driver...... Are you driving in the wrong direction? ”

Bu Jiuzhao didn't show much surprise at the appearance of this forest, and said indifferently when he heard this: "No, I have been driving forward in a straight line." ”

Song Quyou struggled and asked, "Then, what if you want to turn left or right, but you don't turn?" ”

"The sun is setting."

Bu Jiuzhao's words were a little clueless, and after that, he let go of the hand holding the steering wheel, and glanced at the sunset that looked like a raging molten flame from the rearview mirror: "The sun is setting in the west." ”

Ying Yiling didn't understand what he meant: "What? ”

"When we set out from the city of Naurota, we headed west to the Mummy Forest." The young man in the passenger seat opened his lips slightly, his voice was gentle and slow, like a misty light rain, soft and light, but the content of his words was inexplicably creepy, "Now the sun is setting behind us, so we are in the east in front of us, and the direction back to Naurota City is not wrong." ”

"He's right." Yun Qian closed her eyes with a serious expression, and then Xie Yinxue continued, "You probably can't read the treasure map, but I, Zhan Meng, and Mu Yuji can understand it." The treasure map shows that the entire treasure hunt is a circle, so we will theoretically be able to return to Naurotta by heading east after coming out of the Temple of the Lost Lands. ”

Song Qu looked at the towering green trees in front of him in a daze: "But there is no Naurota City here. ”

There was only a forest of weeds that hid murderous intentions, blocking their way back.

Every participant knew how dangerous the forest was after dark, but they had to go in, because if they stayed here, they would surely be chased by the golden snake.

Zheng Shu, who was in the back seat, watched the figure of the golden snake chasing them gradually become huge from the small in the distance to the shortening of the distance, and took the lead in opening the car door and jumping down, pulling Mu Yuji and running inside: "Don't be in a daze, quickly enter the forest!" ”

The trees in the mummy forest are towering, the leaves can cover the sky, and the terrain is complex, and all kinds of living creatures have a strong atmosphere, they can hide in it to avoid the pursuit of the golden snake, Song Quyou's only worry is: "It will be dark soon, and we will die if we go in......"

Especially the bag on her body that was bitten by mosquitoes yesterday is not complete, and her skin is still yellow.

Mu Jinhai, Yi Yao, and You Lan pounced in front of Liu Buhua and begged him: "Doctor Liu, take out your mosquito repellent flower lotion and apply it to us!" ”

So within three minutes, except for Bu Jiuzhao and Xie Yinxue, the rest of the participants, including Bian Yuchen, all became Minions.

Zheng Shu was still trying to pull Bu Jiuzhao into the water: "You don't want Xie Yinxue to be a widower, right?" ”

Step Jiuzhao: "? ”

He told the truth: "Those mosquitoes can't bite me." ”

Zheng Shu listened to it, only to feel that Bu Jiuzhao was pretending to be forced again.

In contrast, Bian Yuchen's words were much more elegant, and he said to Xie Yinxue: "It will be safer if you paint it." ”

As a result, Xie Yinxue was as unmoved as Bu Jiuzhao: "My eyesight is good, mosquitoes can't bite me." ”

At this point, the others did not persuade them much, and felt that they did not apply it and there was someone who could help them attract mosquito fire.

The group then abandoned the buggy, carefully avoiding the sharp branches and some jagged leaves around them, and cautiously walked towards the depths of the mummy forest.

The golden snake did not chase into the rainforest as they imagined, and only stopped at the entrance, spitting out the snake letter, glaring at them unwillingly from the crack in the tree with its scarlet snake pupils, but did not move forward half a meter for a long time.

Yi Yao glanced back and asked, "It doesn't dare to come in?" ”

Zheng Shu sneered: "The spear of destiny in the thirteen hands can stab it, these trees in the mummy forest are very sensitive to wounds, if it dares to come in, it will be pierced with a spear when the time comes, and I don't know who it will die in the end." ”

Song Quyou sniffed and said in a trembling voice: "There is a golden snake outside that can't go out, and it's too late to find a safe camp, what should we do now?" ”

"If it's too late, we'll have to find a safe camp." Ying Yiling took her hand, pulled her and said firmly, "If we want to die, we have to die on the road, don't stop and wait for death." ”

"yes, I don't accept dying on the road." Jamon pulled out the treasure map from his fanny pack, "Let me see how the safe camp goes, is the route the same as the one we walked before?" ”

Zheng Shu said: "I think it's the same, I'll show you something." ”

Jamon asked her, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Photos." Zheng Shu said and put the crippled group photo of the three of the Moon Shadow Treasure Hunt Team flat in his hand, "This is what I found in the trunk of the off-road vehicle just now." ”

You Lan was stunned for a moment, and then understood the deep meaning of Zheng Shu's words: "You mean ......"

"The car we were in—" Bu Jiuzhao paused and looked back, taking advantage of his height advantage and lowered his eyes to them, "it's the same car from beginning to end." ”

If it weren't for the gold necklace with the undead spring around their necks, it would be hard not to wonder if they had actually reached the Temple of the Lost Lands, or perhaps they had been wandering around the mummy forest and had never gone out at all.

Mu Jinhai pulled the necklace of the immortal spring water out of his collar and looked at the small bottle through the evening sunset: "How can this be, is it because we took the immortal spring water?" ”

In most adventure movies, there is often a curse on the place where the treasure is located.

Therefore, while the explorers obtained the treasure, they also carried a curse and eventually died without a place to bury.

So their current situation is due to the fact that they have obtained the immortal spring water, which has caused everyone to fall into the curse of infinite reincarnation?

After listening to Mu Jinhai's suspicions, Zhan Meng said, "But the task given to us by Enoch is to bring back the immortal spring." ”

"What Enoch said was that we should find the undead spring and not return empty-handed, not that we must bring the undead spring back." Yi Yao, who has been "played" by Lock Changsheng many times, knows how to pick words too well, or it may be that when he saw the money, he couldn't forget the gold under the marble slab road in the inner hall of the Temple of the Lost Land, so he said his idea, "Maybe what we want to bring back is not the immortal spring water, but the gold." ”

Yun Qian thought for a moment and said, "I think I can try it, it's too late tonight, but tomorrow is the third day, and we still have enough time." ”

Mu Yuji also nodded in agreement: "Then let's find a safe camp tonight, set off again tomorrow morning for the Temple of the Lost Lands, return the immortal spring water, and then take some gold and leave." ”

Chapter 205

However, there is always a certain gap between the plan and the reality.

Coupled with the fact that they had entered the mummy forest later than the first day, it was already completely dark before they had even finished their halfway to the safety camp.

And this time, they didn't have the good luck of the first time - not only were Thirteen injured again in order to protect Bian Yuchen, but Mu Yuji and Ying Yiling were also targeted by the Mummy Tree.

The reason is that the clothes on their bodies are not fully wrapped like the mercenaries, needless to say, Ying Yiling's small suspender shirt is needless to say, Mu Yuji's Meiwa uniform is exposed to the thighs, and the girls' skin is still delicate and fragile, and the mummy forest is dimly lit at night, and they can't see the surrounding environment clearly, and when they run, they are accidentally scratched out of some small blood marks by broken branches.

Although the injuries were not serious, the mummy tree smelled the blood and peeled off the bloodstains, like inner hairs deep into their flesh, like sandworms in the desert that had been hungry for a long time, burying themselves in their veins and sucking the blood in their bodies.

Fortunately, Liu Buhua was familiar with how to deal with the mummy tree in the human body, and after everyone finally arrived at the safety camp after going through dangers, Liu Buhua immediately injected poison into their bodies according to the same method used to treat Thirteen the night before, and after the branches of the mummy tree escaped screaming, he gave them another dose of antidote.

After finishing the matter, Liu Buhua collected the needle and said, "Okay, sleep for one night and get up tomorrow and you'll be fine." ”

"There's still thirteen, you haven't injected him yet." Bian Yuchen grabbed Liu Buhua's sleeve and said, he didn't know why the young man started to pack the medical box, obviously thirteen was still lying on the ground.

At this time, the branches of the mummy tree completely submerged into Thirteen's body, and sprouts sprouted from his back in contact with the ground, burrowing into the mud and twisting and growing wildly, sucking Thirteen into a dry corpse almost instantly, leaving only a slight rise and fall in his chest to prove that he was still alive.

- to live in excruciating pain.

It's as if he should have ended up with such a fate in this life.

Either he was sucked dry by the tree of the mummy and died of the last drop of blood, or he died for the liver and brain of Bian Yuchen he was protecting, and there seemed to be no essential difference between the two.

However, Liu Buhua can roughly understand some of Thirteen's thoughts, and if he were him, he would also be willing to protect Xie Yinxue in this way, so Liu Buhua sighed and said to Bian Yuchen: "I can't give him an injection." ”

Bian Yuchen was stunned, and his expression was stunned for a moment.

Liu Buhua continued: "This poison can only be fought once per person. ”

"Controlling the dose and time well can stimulate the regrowth of human flesh and blood for the first time, so that the wound can heal quickly."

"But the human body that has already been attacked by the poison once cannot withstand the attack of the poison a second time, and will become resistant to the antidote, causing the second antidote to lose its effect, so if I give him the poison again, he will die."

Liu Buhua put his hand in his pocket, his long pink hair gently swayed in the night breeze, the look of pity on his face and the indifferent posture of standing by were intricately intertwined, at this moment it was really a bit like Suo Changsheng set his mad doctor identity in this copy: "Once he dies under my potion, it means that I killed the person, and I will also die at his hands on the day I clear the customs, how can I give him an injection?" So Mr. Bian—"

"You just let Thirteen die."

Bian Yuchen didn't say anything for a long time after listening to Liu Buhua's words, his eyelashes drooped, and the emotions in his eyes were dim and difficult to distinguish in the jumping bonfire.

Instead, Song Quyou covered his arm and asked, "Then Mu Yuji and I ...... You have to be careful not to get hurt, you can't be parasitized by the Mummy Tree anymore, right? ”

Liu Buhua nodded: "Yes." ”

"Not necessarily."

Bian Yuchen suddenly laughed, he half-squatted on the ground in front of the young man who was living like a mummified corpse with all the withered flesh and blood under the skin, took off the crystal bottle containing the immortal spring water from Thirteen's neck, twisted the cap and put the bottle mouth to Thirteen's lips, and asked slowly: "Thirteen, do you want to live?" ”

"If you want to, drink it."

Want to live?

Thirteen opened his heavy eyelids at Bian Yuchen's voice, and also asked himself in his heart.

The personality of each "thirteen" is different, and some "thirteen" feel that they will die early and be liberated as soon as possible, and they can calmly die righteously and generously; Some "thirteen" think that it is the supreme honor to be able to die for the Bian family and protect the young master, so they are equally fanatical in their desire for death; What about yourself this thirteen?

Thirteen thoughts: He wants to live.

You only live once, who knows what happens after death?

At least he hasn't lived enough in this life, even if he can live a few more days and watch the sunrise and sunset one more time.

Thirteen squirmed his lips and greedily drank all the immortal spring water in the crystal bottle.

Everyone stared intently at the rolling Adam's apple of the thirteen, watching the flesh and blood under his withered skin bulge and plump, and suddenly understood what it meant to be "the living dead, flesh and bones" - it turned out that the treasure map did not deceive them: the immortal spring water can really make people immortal.

Bian Yuchen took two steps back, gave up his position to Liu Buhua, and said, "Now, you can rest assured that you can give him poison." ”

The Immortal Spring could only make Thirteen immortal, but it could not remove the mummy branches in his body, on the contrary, the mummy branches took root and grew faster after absorbing the host's more vigorous life force.

"You cows."

Liu Buhua gave Bian Yuchen a thumbs up, and stepped forward to inject poison into Thirteen according to his words.

It's just that now Thirteen and the mummy branch have fused too deeply, and as soon as the poison enters the body, the mummy branch can't stand the torture, howling and tearing Thirteen's skin to escape from this body.

And the pain of opening the skin and flesh is basically unbearable without painkillers.

Thirteen was covered in blood, broken tendons, and rolled on the ground in pain, and under the cold moonlight, people couldn't tell for a moment whether the screams in their ears were Thirteen or the tree of mummies.

And Xie Yinxue lowered her eyes and looked at this scene, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she had something on her mind.

Bu Jiuzhao, whose attention was always on him, held the young man's wrist: "What are you thinking?" ”

The young man's eyelashes paused, lowered lower, took away all the light in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing." ”

Bu Jiuzhao didn't feel that Xie Yinxue was sorry for Thirteen.

There are very few things in this world that can affect the emotions of young people, he was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't hold back: "Xie Yinxue, do you also want to drink immortal spring water?" ”

After asking, without waiting for Xie Yinxue to answer, he tightened his five fingers, clenched the young man's thin wrist tighter, and said in a deep voice: "I told you." You have to pass the tenth level to get immortality, and now these ...... It's all fake. ”
