Chapter Fifty-Three: The Six Strange Ferns

This can't be the vegetable cellar of the ancients! There would be so many jars of sauerkraut in the tomb, but it is estimated that it would have been spoiled long ago when it smelled this smell, otherwise I really wanted Jin Santu, who likes to cook, to take two for lunch.

"Damn, what's the smell, who of you in your pants?" Jin Santu scolded at Ning Yuan and the stunned son.

The two looked at each other innocently, confirmed that their eyes were not pulled by the other party, and shook their heads aggrievedly at Jin Santu.

The three of them looked at Bai Maxiao behind him, he was staring at the jar curiously, and he was not afraid of disgusting and reached in.

"Dude, that thing can't be touched!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Maxiao had already pulled out a stinky cabbage, "What?"

The head of the cabbage was like a shrunken bud, and the moment it was pulled out by the white horse, it suddenly opened and bloomed with five petals, one on the top and two on the left and right, looking like a hand. The inside of each piece is covered with sharp barbs like teeth. It looks like a terrifying mouth again.

The big mouth suddenly bit Bai Maxiao's hand, and the whole thing was wrapped inside, and suddenly the hundreds of barbs pierced into his hand.

Hakuba let out a scream of pain, and a swordless finger exploded in the thing's mouth, and the thing immediately fell apart.

Fortunately, the reaction was fast, and those thorns had not yet penetrated into the flesh, otherwise there must have been hundreds of blood holes.

But this was not the end, and five more buds poked out of the jar, facing the white horse, and although they could not see the eyes, they seemed to be staring at him.

The white horse was so frightened just now that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, and when he tried to move a little to the side, the five buds would turn to him, like a group of children staring curiously at this outsider.

This has made everyone star, and no one knows if this thing will suddenly attack like a snake, bite you on the neck, and give you no time to react.

Bai Maxiao unconsciously moved back, knocked over a jar behind him, the jar fell to the ground and shattered immediately, a puddle of fishy liquid spread out, everyone covered their noses, this sky-high smell is very spicy, and the thing that flows out of the jar makes everyone even more creepy.

There was a white bone in the jar, but it was not a natural corruption, and there were some sinew attached to the white bone, as if a person had been removed alive from all the flesh, and the flesh was gone, only this bloody white bone, and a large pool of blood on the ground, and six flower buds scattered on the blood.

After overturning the jar, Bai Maxiao saw the whole picture of this thing that looked like a flower bud, how to describe it, like six bracken growing on the head of a snake, but these bracken are now shrunk into a flower bud, once it unfolds, it will be like the big mouth that was burst just now, and each leaf is full of sharp teeth.

I can't tell if it's a plant or an animal, but since it doesn't grow in the soil, it's an animal, but what kind of species is it?

The other five people present did not show as much exaggeration as Bai Ma Xiao on this scene, but it was not to the extent of calmness, to be precise, it was more like being too scared to move, as if it had just bitten Bai Ma Xiao and had already shown its strong aggressiveness, plus the white bones connected to the flesh that came out of the smashed jar were enough to show the horror of this thing, if the person who was bitten just now was an ordinary person, it was estimated that it would be the end of this white bone.

The thing that was thrown out was motionless, I don't know if it was dead or alive, but in the jar that was opened by Bai Ma Shino, the five flower buds were still staring at Bai Ma Shino, and I don't know if it would bite him from five directions in the next moment and remove all the flesh from his body.

was facing each other, and suddenly a white light flashed, and the sound of the sword couldn't bear it, and a sword cut off the five buds.

Without that thing to stare at, Bai Maxiao suddenly felt less terrifying, and quickly stood up and asked, "This...... What is it?"

"It's a six-way fern, it's a ...... I don't know what it is. Jin Santu seemed to have lingering feelings about this thing, "Anyway, let's get out of this tomb quickly, once this thing has identified its prey, if it officially attacks, it will be much faster than a cat." ”

Cats react two or three times faster than humans, and if this thing is faster than a cat, it is not something that ordinary people can resist. Sometimes absolute power suppression is not terrible, what is terrible is speed suppression.

Jian Yin held up his sword and said disdainfully, "No matter how powerful this thing is, it chops off all its heads with a sword, and it's not a dead thing?"

Jin Santu smiled bitterly and said, "Who said that what you cut just now is its head?"

Before Jian Yin could ask a rhetorical question, the five flower buds on the ground that had been cut off by her suddenly twitched, and from their fracture there was a new snake tail growing with the twitching, and then the five flower buds each split into six, and in an instant, the five severed heads turned into five complete six-headed monster snakes, which were the so-called Liuqi Strange Ferns in Jin Santu.

This terrifying splitting ability made Jian Yin speechless, and the sword was also convincingly put down.

"How can this thing be killed?" Jian Yin put away her sword, she knew that a physical attack would only have the opposite effect on this thing at this time.

Before everyone could wait for Jin Santu's answer, a pillar of fire that suddenly appeared answered the question perfectly. The pillar of fire swept past the five newly split ferns, and suddenly their whole bodies were on fire, and after a strange writhing, they spread on the ground and turned into a pile of charcoal.

"This time, the third master, I came prepared, these things will never be a problem again!" Jin Santu proudly patted his weapon, a stunned man who was carrying two iron cans and holding a steel pipe in his hand.

If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be called *****.

Bai Maxiao guessed that he would bring a weapon, but he didn't expect to bring such a domineering thing, this is something that can be bought with a life, but it is a terrible felony to be found.

It seems that the crime of tomb robbery is not small.

Bai Maxiao didn't bother to ask him how he got this thing, he was more concerned about another thing: "Big brother Niu Pi, can you borrow me to play?"

Jian Yin snorted coldly, took a step back and said, "This thing is extremely dangerous, and it is even more dangerous to buy it from unknown channels like his, who knows if it will suddenly explode?"

Hearing her say this, Bai Maxiao took three steps back, he understood that Jian Yin was not alarmist, and the two iron cans on his back were like gas canisters that would explode at any time, and the stability was extremely worrying.

Jin Santu said with a smile: "Big sister, don't worry, the third master, I am definitely military quality, absolutely genuine!"

Bai Ma Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "Compared to these monsters, the explosion is not terrifying." By the way, big brother, the thing in the tomb you are talking about, is it this treacherous fern?"

"I don't think so. White Bird Ling suddenly interjected, "Judging from the descriptions on these murals, these things are not murder weapons, but they look like ...... Some kind of food. ”

"Food?" Hakumashio immediately became interested in the murals on the walls.

I thought it was a comic strip, but I didn't expect it to be a large complete mural, which is perfectly connected on the four walls of this stone room, like a world map, and the end is very cleverly connected.

Because of its age, the painting looks pale and mutilated, but it is not difficult to see that the painting depicts a large scene, which can be divided into three parts.

The first part is a group of people kneeling in front of many altars, one person kneeling in one jar, and six open hands-like things are exposed in the jar, which looks like treacherous ferns, and several people in front of the jars have been bitten on their heads, abdomen and limbs by the six treacherous ferns, and a few have been dragged into the jar, only exposing their two feet at the mouth of the altar, and the whole depicts the scene of the treacherous fern eating people, and the people in the overturned jar should have been eaten only bones in this way. However, judging from the kneeling posture of the people in front of these altars, it is more like a sacrifice, or a feeding.

The second part is also a pile of jars, the difference is that the human beings in this part are not eaten, but each holding something like a long-handled clip, which is the kind of tool used by the roadside sanitation workers to pick up garbage, the difference is that the long-handled part of the tool in the painting is very thick, and it does not seem to be hard, and the long-handled clips in the hands of several people are obviously curved. They used this tool to pinch out the fern from the jar with one hand and put it on a plate in the other, looking like waiters in a restaurant.

In the third part, a new face finally appeared, in a large palace, a human-like monster sat in a high chair, and below it knelt a large group of humans, holding in their hands a plate containing a ball of treacherous ferns, like slaves offering food to the king. And the monster-like king looked very strange, with fiery red skin, open wings on his back, but no feathers, two horns on his forehead that bent backwards, his face was no different from that of ordinary people, and even his facial features were very delicate, and his hair was blonde. The overall shape looks a bit like a demon in a movie, and it seems that this is a group of humans who worship demons.

The whole mural depicts a slave feeding the demon, and the devil's food is the fern, and the fern's food is people, and the man picks the fern to feed the demon, which is a triangular relationship, and this food chain is also very clear.

Or maybe this is a god and monster in myths and legends, but Hakumashi doesn't know much about mythology, so he can't tell what kind of monster it is.

Putting aside these two amnesiac girls, Jin Santu, a veteran tomb robber, must have some understanding of ancient mythology, so it's right to ask him.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Jin Santu, Ning Yuan, and the stunned people hiding far away against the wall, and the fire extinguisher in the stunned hand was aimed at Bai Maxiao.

, these people won't treat me like a tricky fern, right? Could it be that I am scared stupid? Bai Ma Xiao was about to ask, when he saw Jin Santu squeezing his eyebrows at him, this unexplained grimace made Bai Ma Xiao angry, and was about to scold, and the white bird Ling and Jian Yin next to him also looked at him.

Kenyin is also a quirky, and it's acceptable for her to make faces along with her, but Shiratori Ling is joking with them, which is by no means a normal picture.

Bai Maxiao immediately realized that there must be something wrong here, seeing that although they were grimacing, they had one thing in common, that is, their expressions were distorted in one direction, and along this direction, Bai Maxiao turned his head and saw a five-petaled mouth, completely covering his face.
