Chapter 60: Antecedents and Consequences (I)
The center of the meat ball bloomed, and it was divided into two halves and spread evenly, finally forming a platform more than ten meters high and an area of several hundred square meters, surrounded by burrs several feet long for some plant types. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At a glance, countless strips of blood vessels were connected to the very center of the platform, forming a wall of flesh, which was the core of the meat ball after peeling off the cocoons layer by layer, but the terrifying thing was that there were three dry bones on its side.
"There used to be people here!" Tang Long gasped.
Doesn't this show that someone deliberately built this place! Who is so big of a hand to build such a strange ancient red lotus building in the underground river of the Western Wilderness?!
Tang Long paused, and then walked forward, and the three remains in front of him slowly became clear.
It was a rotting corpse of dry bones, lying on the ground, closest to Tang Long.
"Could it be you, the master of this place?"
Tang Long stepped forward in a few steps, squatted down to take a closer look at the skeleton, and found that the skeleton had been destroyed, the bones on one side of his back were shattered, and the vertebrae were broken into several pieces.
Tang Long stretched out his fingers along his thoracic vertebrae, and touched it down, but before he reached the lumbar vertebrae, "Click!" This human bone dragon immediately shattered!
"This is?" Withdrawing his hand, Tang Long exclaimed, "Someone actually broke this person's thoracic vertebrae with a blow from the back!"
Although it is a skeleton of an unknown age, it is not difficult to speculate on the cause of his death, and it is clear that the man was paralyzed after being severely struck and eventually died here.
Tang Long pinched one of his hand bones, and his fingers used two percent of his strength to grind it, and a few wisps of powder appeared on his fingertips, "This bone is quite hard, although it is not as hard as mine, but many second-rate martial artists can't reach this hardness." ”
The stronger the martial artists on the True Yuan Continent, the better the general physique, and the stiff bones of the body, judging the strength of a person from the hardness of the bones, although it is not very accurate, it is a means of speculation at present.
Gently putting the hand bones back in place, Tang Long said in his heart: "This person, at least a second-rate martial artist, is more likely to be a first-class martial artist...... Perhaps, there may be some so-called pre-primordial powerhouses. Tang Long pondered for a while and left here.
This man will definitely not be the master here, because his strength is not enough.
Walking further, a miniature version of the flesh wall gradually appeared, but it was also two zhang wide and high, and suddenly, Tang Long was stunned, and he saw a wide palm bone on the side of the flesh wall!
This is the second skeleton...... Due to the obstruction of the flesh wall, I only saw his skull before, but now I took a look around and saw his true body!
It's actually four meters high!!
What kind of monster is this?
I saw that the bones of the hands and feet of this corpse were all there, all of them were five fingers, and they had the skeleton structure of a human being!
"This is a human skeleton!" Tang Long couldn't believe it, who could grow so huge? Just by looking at the skeleton, he knew that he must have been a big giant in his lifetime.
"Could it be an orc?"
It's also possible that the minotaurs are rumored to be between four and six meters tall and have a somewhat similar skeleton to humans, "though...... This can't be a minotaur. Tang Long looked at its skull, but did not see the horns peculiar to the Minotaur, obviously, this was either a giant, or a special species.
"Zhu Bajie didn't tell me, and I don't know if there is a giant race in the human race on the Zhenyuan Continent, so let's ignore these for the time being, just call this bone a giant bone first. ”
Putting aside the question, Tang Long continued to observe the giant's bones, and at this time he had already walked to the other side, and he saw the cause of the giant's death!
"There is a wound on his back!"
After going around in a circle, Tang Long finally took a look at the giant and the meat ball!
On the front of the giant, he hugged the meat ball with a pair of withered palms, and his back had a three-foot diameter hole, through which countless blood vessels passed through the giant's body and connected to the meat ball.
At a glance, it was like a ball of flesh sprouting, piercing the giant through it, and coming to the feet of the giant, Tang Long's height of more than seven feet looked very short compared to it, but it reached half of his thigh.
The giant's bones were very thick, and his leg bones were three times the thickness of his own arm.
"I don't know how hard it is?"
Tang Long said, reached out to pinch his leg bone, and when he pinched it, he found that his leg bone was very hard, and the force in his hand increased to fifty percent, but he didn't expect that the bone would not change at all!
"What a hard bone!"
Tang Long said, launching his whole body strength, the grip of one hand of his hand was close to a thousand catties, but he didn't expect to pinch it still!
"Okay, look at the move!"
Tang Long was more energetic, and pulled with his upper waist, but he didn't expect that this skeleton was also very heavy, even if the strength was two or three thousand catties, it didn't move at all.
"Well, you win. ”
This time, Tang Long finally knew how powerful this giant was! His bones weighed at least five thousand catties, and they were extremely hard, even if his whole body had lost his flesh and blood, and the bones had been eroded by time and calcified by the air, but in terms of hardness and weight, he could not compare with it in any way.
"This giant must have been a very powerful figure when he was alive!"
Needless to say, this four-meter-tall giant must be a figure like a strong man of the first yuan, he is simply a humanoid tank, if he runs on the plain, thousands of troops and horses cannot stop him.
Tang Long imagined the scene of his rampage, and immediately shuddered, such a hard flesh body, ordinary knives and guns couldn't hit it at all, even if it was a long-range shot with a five-stone bow, I was afraid it wouldn't hurt him.
"It's just that you met late, and you didn't have the honor to meet each other in the era when you were alive...... It's a pity, it's a Tang Long whispered, let go and walked away.
Buzzing!
Unexpectedly, the skeleton was suddenly shocked.
Looking back, a trace of red light suddenly emitted from the foot bones of the giant's bones, as if Tang Long's strength had crushed the bones somewhere, or maybe it was the flesh ball that unfolded, a large amount of air poured in, and some kind of chemical reaction occurred with the bones, in short, the bones suddenly shattered.
Giggles!――
The giant's left calf bone that Tang Long had pinched earlier turned into ashes.
"Smack!"
A piece of red fell to the ground.
"What's it?!" Tang Long didn't expect that he was curious to make such a change in the giant, and when he saw something falling from his leg bone, he immediately stepped forward to squat down to observe.
"Is it bone marrow?" or hamstrings?"
The first thing he saw was a strip-shaped red object, curled into several circles, Tang Long thought it was something in the bones, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely, it had been sealed here for many years, and the flesh and blood had rotted, how could there still be bone marrow and hamstrings?
"Let me see the true face of Lushan. ”
Tang Long said, stretched out his hand to grab the red object, and it was a little warm in his hand...... When I opened it, there was a dense layer of small words written on it!
"It's a book!"
This is indeed a book that records the supreme martial arts, but it is more of a scroll than a book. Tang Long held the scroll and glared, he was illiterate, if it was a few months earlier, I am afraid that he really couldn't read big characters, but after Zhu Bajie's teaching, at this moment he still knew some words of the True Yuan Continent.
"What is written, I'll see. ”
The scroll stretches out, and a column of four large characters appears on the left side, arranged in a row of four large characters.
“.... I know these guys, ba... Body..... What are the following two words?"
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Long suddenly said, "Wu Ji!"
"Hegemony and martial arts!"
"Hegemony and Martial Arts" is the title of the whole book, and as soon as Tang Long recognized the four characters, he felt a pride and momentum that looked down on the world swooped out from between the words in the book!
What an arrogant tone, let's not talk about what the hegemonic body is, this martial pole is the ultimate martial arts, how can this book be, dare to open this mouth? Tang Long was suddenly curious in his heart, "I want to take a good look, what can you write on it........ Hegemon, the source of blood and energy, the beginning of masculinity. Moving.... Force rises... Three..."Tang Long put away the sudden red scroll.
"Well, it's not that I can't read it, it's just that the environment isn't suitable for a closer look. ”
After Tang Long finished speaking, he stuffed the scroll into his trouser pocket, this thing was very flexible, he tried to tear it, but he couldn't tear even a corner, and he was very assured of its quality.
After coming to this ghost place for so long, he finally gained a little, Tang Long was in a good mood, and then looked at the meat ball held by the giant, and he also felt pleasing to the eye.
"Let me see if there's anything missing. ”
Picking up the leak will temporarily satisfy people's luck psychology, Tang Long carefully knocked the giant skeleton again, but this time, except for some sweat, there was nothing to gain.
A little lost in his heart, Tang Long glanced at the giant's bones, then at the meat ball in his arms, and turned to walk towards the third dry bone.
This skeleton is about thirty meters behind, Tang Long is not in a hurry to look at the meat ball, and it is more important to figure out where these three people appeared and the cause of death.
While thinking, Tang Long had already paced over, and in front of him, there was the same dry human body, the size of a normal human being.
However, he had his back to himself, and on this man, he was still covered with some clothes that had not yet rotted, and a coat was also rotten.
"There is no wound on this man's back. ”
From the tattered hole in the coat, it was immediately recognizable that this skeleton was intact, and he may not have been seriously injured during his lifetime.
But why was he sitting with his back to him? Could it be that this direction would not be attacked by a sneak attack? Tang Long took two more steps forward, and in vain, he found a line of handwriting on the ground.
This is engraved into the platform to show that the font is nearly three inches deep, with a line on the left and right sides, because there is no dust accumulation on the plane, but it can be seen very clearly.
Look at the left column first, which reads: "Down to the five elements of the world, up to the sun, moon, rivers and stars, turn your hands into clouds, cover your palms for rain, earth-shattering, omnipotent." ”
Look at the right column again, "Kneel and worship a thousand times, the fate is established, worship into my door, and suppress demons and demons." ”
It turned out that this person was carving and accepting apprentices, Tang Long thought about it for the first time, he swept around on the ground, saw nothing, and then carefully looked at it, confirmed that there was no font, and suddenly said: "I have heard that the ancients can blow, and when I saw it with my own eyes, only more can blow...... Why don't you write more?"
Tang Long is so reckless, he worships others as a teacher, and he has to kowtow a thousand times? Hurry up and pull it down, he didn't pay attention to a few lines of words on the ground, he didn't pay attention to it at all, raised his head and stepped on it directly.
After two steps, Tang Long walked to the skeleton, glanced at him, and suddenly sat on the ground.
Kowtow a thousand times, worship your disciple?!
Phew!
Turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain?
Phew!
Tang Long straightened his chest and folded his back, and after shouldering with the dry bones, he suddenly pointed to the bones and scolded: "Grandpa, I am on an equal footing with you today!"
