Chapter Seventy-Four: The Problem
Fang Zhongjin's understatement: "I'm afraid we won't live long." But it was so frightened that Lu'er and Ah Xiang forgot to breathe. Could it be that even the queen of worms is dead, and there are still some giant python monsters waiting for them in the depths?
Lu'er hurriedly waved away the frightened emotions in her heart, she looked at Fang Zhongjin's calm appearance, and knew that there might be salvation. She grabbed Ah Xiang, who was about to shout, and whispered, "Don't interrupt, listen to him." ”
Ah Xiang was pulled by her, and swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out, and looked at Fang Zhongjin with a pair of hopeful eyes, hoping that he would say: "I'm teasing you." ”
And Fang Zhongjin also seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, he was still squatting on the edge of the stream, looking at the mountain stream flowing in a daze, and said slowly: "Since the queen is dead, she naturally can't continue to lay eggs in the stream." The poison of our new insect eggs has not been long coming, and the eggs hidden in our bodies have not yet matured, and they have not yet flareed up. But Brother Liu Xiongtian obviously fell down at the stone wall for a long time, just because he was really seriously injured and didn't have the strength to climb over to drink water. Therefore, the eggs in his body have absorbed enough essence and can break out of his body. We don't have any more eggs to drink, and I don't know how long it will be before an adult worm will burst out of our bodies? The death should be exactly the same as Brother Liu. ”
When Ah Xiang heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly leaned over to open his mouth to drink the stream water around him, thinking that he could slow down for a moment.
The deer whispered, "Fool, this queen is dead, how can there be eggs in the newly flowing stream?"
Ah Xiang listened, and sat on the ground depressed, his eyes were red, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Fang Zhongjin also sat on the ground, frowning and thinking carefully. And the deer also squatted down beside him, but it was quiet, not daring to easily disturb his train of thought.
Fang Zhongjin thought for a while, and said to himself: "Brother Liu told me to 'break', but I don't know what to break? I have already looked around this stone cave a few times, and it is surrounded by a whole rock wall, and fine sand and gravel that can no longer be broken. Neither of these things can be 'broken'. ”
He finally fixed his eyes on the large, abrupt rock in the cave, and said in his heart: only such a stone could be broken. It looks very different from the tough, delicate rocks of other places. This boulder is quite strange in terms of color and texture. It is grayish-yellow in color, and has numerous pores on its surface. It's a bit like the Taihu Lake Exquisite Stone. But it looks weird, and it doesn't have any beauty. I don't know how such a huge rock appeared in this cave for nothing?
Fang Zhongjin glanced up at the small heavenly cave above his head, and then looked at the strange stone in front of him. The heart said that this stone was an alien stone, falling from a height of thousands of feet, smashing through the top of the stone, and happened to fall in this cave?
On the other hand, if there is really not a single person who has entered this village of the dead for thousands of years, can he get out alive? Fang Zhongjin knew that there was such a person who successfully walked out. Not only did he leave Eagle Head Mountain, but he also took the eggs out. successfully controlled Zhao Santong and Elder Tang, and led to a big fight between Jinhua County and the beggar gang. and coerced Liu Xiongtian, and finally trapped Fang Zhongjin and the three of them here. He has to do so many things, and he has obviously lived a long time. So how did he survive without the unique mountain stream here?
Fang Zhongjin couldn't help but lock his gaze on the missing corner of the rock. He slowly stood up and walked over to the boulder, which had grown into thin strips. Although it wasn't too thick to hug together, it was taller than the others, and the gap was just below Fang Zhongjin's chest. This height is exactly the height at which the person smashed the stone, and he leaned in to take a closer look, and there were indeed some subtle knocking marks at this gap. Fang Zhongjin finally compared it with his hand, it seemed that if someone really chiseled the stone here, then he might be shorter than himself.
Since Fang Zhongjin was already sure in his heart, he turned to Lu'er and Ah Xiang and said, "Maybe this stone is the secret of our escape from death." If only we could take a stone out with us. Carry it for life, don't let this stone leave the body for a moment, maybe the worms in our body can always be suppressed and not break out. In this way, we can live to old age. ”
Lu'er and Ah Xiang were both surprised and overjoyed. I was shocked that this insect could not be cured after all, and I was glad that it was not a big loss for them to live to the end of their lives. Although the two couldn't guess why they could live to the end of their lives with the stone, since Fang Zhongjin thought that the stone was the key, it must be the key. Even if they don't understand why, they all trust each other.
Fang Zhongjin looked at their mixed expressions of joy and sorrow, smiled and said with relief: "As long as we can get out alive, everything may still have a turnaround." There are many famous doctors in the world, so we went out to find them all the way. As long as we don't die today, there will always be a day when we will be cured. He smiled and said, "Besides, although we have all been hit by immortal insects in this line, we are not all without gains. Isn't it very beneficial for you to learn the strange body method in the cave? Maybe this body method is not indiscriminately engraved on it, and if we learn it deeply in the future, will it help us conquer the worms, and I don't know?"
Ah Xiang finally broke into tears and laughed, and said, "I know the master, ahh He also said that we would not live long, but I would live to be 100 years old. He stood up, patted his buttocks, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Since the stone is the key, what are we waiting for? ”
Lu'er glanced at Ah Xiang and said, "Do you have a tool with you, do you still want to use your flesh to split stones?"
Ah Xiang got angry and said, "Can't we go out of the cave to find tools? Even if the dead man's village doesn't go, my own village is not far from here." It doesn't take much time to get some axes and chisels. If we borrow an axe, we will smash it, and we will not delay for a moment. ”
Fang Zhongjin frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know how long we have left, I don't know if we won't even have enough time to climb to another mountain to get an axe, and the Soul Worm has already broken out." ”
This sentence made Lu'er and Ah Xiang, who were just in a better mood, fall to the bottom again. Do they still have to die in this wormhole?
