Chapter 67: Awakening
Hu Jingjing followed behind Li Xixing and went straight through the huge alien beast bones.
The huge alien beast bones are like the keel of a giant ship, and walking in them gives people an inexplicably strange sense of oppression.
Especially in the belly of this giant beast, Hu Jingjing saw a large pile of rotten iron.
Some metals of various colors were twisted into various twisted flakes by some force, and then decayed into the shape of large snowflakes.
Imagining how the beast had devoured these things, she felt more and more awe.
However, Li Xixing did not consider these.
He pondered for a moment as he walked through the bones of the great beast, then gathered up some dead branches and dead wood, made two fires, and then covered each with some floating earth.
In the strange spiritual rain, above the ancestral mountain, where birds were flying, two pillars of smoke were lit, one thick and one light.
"What are you doing here?"
Hu Jingjing watched his actions and asked when he started to move again.
"One thick and one light, this is the wolf smoke that represents safety in the border army. Generally, in order to make the smoke column more conspicuous and intense, cow dung and wolf dung are used in the wasteland, plus some unique pigments. ”
Li Xixing turned his head to look at her and said, "If he comes, at least I know that we are safe so far." I release wolf smoke at regular intervals. ”
Hu Jingjing was stunned for a breath before he understood what he meant.
Next, as long as it is safe to make sure that it is safe, Li Xixing will definitely continue to burn such a pillar of smoke again, if it is somewhere, there is no longer a pillar of smoke lit, it means that she and Li Xixing have encountered a mortal threat and have died.
"If we are dead, there is no need for him to come up for us anymore. He will make the choice himself. Li Xixing looked ahead indifferently and said.
Hu Jingjing's mood was a little low, "Are you sure he fully understands what you mean?"
Li Xixing didn't look at her, "He's much smarter than me, so he naturally understands." ”
The two of them had no words to say, so they quickly fell silent, and a large number of corpses appeared in front of them, especially many of them were still in human form, not as fine as the bones outside the ancestral mountain.
In terms of appearance, the bones that reappeared in the field of vision of the two of them, covering the mountain road in front of them, were relatively intact, and it seemed that they died much later than the people outside the mountain.
Whoever steps on thick bones, especially many of them that are still humanoids, will not feel good.
Hu Jingjing tried her best not to step on the heads of these bones, but her face became more and more pale as she listened to the various strange cracking sounds of these bones under her feet.
"Are these people the last to commit suicide in this ancestral mountain?" she couldn't help but ask.
Hearing her words, Li Xixing, who had been squinting his eyes slightly, frowned, and his face was uncertain, but thinking that she had only just arrived at the battlefield from Changling after all, and it was already very good to have such a performance in this situation, his face softened, and said, "You should be able to see where the fatal injuries of these people are." ”
Hu Jingjing was stunned.
These dead people have only skeletons left, since Li Xixing said so, the fatal wound must be on the skeleton, and it is easy to see.
She was naturally a little ashamed, her eyes fell on the bones in front of her, and her gaze suddenly became awe-inspiring.
Almost all of the corpses had no obvious signs of sword cuts, but all of the corpses had a small hole in the center of their skulls.
The hole is the size of a pinpoint, and this is the result of weathering and peeling around the hole over the years.
Li Xixing turned his head to look at her, originally wanted to remind her to look at herself, but thinking that this was the time to quickly divide life and death after all, instead of the usual teaching and training of recruits, he still held back and said directly: "Look at the back of the skull." ”
Hu Jingjing took a deep breath, she tried her best to calm her mood, and then found the crux of the problem.
The human skull, especially the skull of the cultivators, was even harder and denser, and what pierced the eyebrows of these cultivators at that time should have been many times smaller than the tip of a needle. If such a sharp object can penetrate the center of the eyebrows, it must have a strong impact, and it should be extremely sharp according to common sense.
If you pierce through the center of your eyebrows, you can easily get out of the back of your head.
However, there were no corresponding holes in the back of the skull.
There was a soft snap.
Li Xixing directly cut open one of the most complete skulls.
Hu Jingjing knew what he was doing, endured the uncomfortable feeling, and looked inside as carefully as possible.
There were no signs of impact on the back of the skull, and nothing remained in the entire skull.
"It can't be a practitioner. ”
Li Xixing didn't want to waste any more time, he looked at Hu Jingjing, and said slowly and seriously: "The time when these bones died is not consistent... Even if it was done by the same powerful cultivator, in different time periods, his cultivation would inevitably change, and it would be impossible for him to be so precise in condensing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi or controlling a certain weapon, so as to accurately pierce everyone's eyebrows, leaving no other traces. ”
It can't be a practitioner, so what is it?
Hu Jingjing looked at Li Xixing.
Li Xixing was silent for a while, and said, "It's still too late for you to leave at this time." ”
"True courage is to be afraid, but still do it. My heart is now telling me what to do, so I guess I'm someone with real courage. Hu Jingjing paused and laughed, and then she began to move, continuing her journey along the road paved with these bones, upward.
Above her and Li Xixing, the mountain path closed slightly, entering another relatively flat valley, so it looked like a huge gray-white waterfall, and it looked like a demon mouth that devoured flesh and spit out the bones.
Li Xixing followed in the footsteps of Hu Jingjing.
For some reason, his mood was calmer at this time than when he first entered the basin.
He was even a little grateful to the stubborn girl beside him, because he knew that she was right, going on the road alone, even to meet the final death, would be too lonely and miserable after all.
At the end of the mountain road of corpses, at the end of the mountain road, a little bright yellow appeared.
It was a totem pole-like column, with a unique soft crystal light on its surface, which looked like a long amber column.
Li Xixing and Hu Jingjing's eyes were naturally attracted by this crystal pillar, but what they didn't notice was that when they unconsciously looked at the mysterious patterns on this crystal pillar, the inside of this crystal pillar had changed.
Something very small, keenly perceiving the breath of fresh flesh and blood.
The breath of fresh flesh and blood made them begin to awaken.
"Shhhh
The amber-like pillar that was more than a foot long trembled inexplicably, and at the same time made a breath-like sound.
This sound is a number of subtle sounds sounding at the same time, blending together, so it is clearly palpitating.
