Chapter 565: Stone City
"Brother, look at Sister Qingji and Meng'er. They seem to be seriously injured!" Xin'er shouted.
Wang Shuo withdrew his gaze and looked at the two women. His consciousness checked the bodies of the two women. The two fell from such a height and were indeed seriously injured. They needed to take some recovery pills, but Qingji needed
Take extra care of the sand in your chest.
Wang Shuo took out the elixir and gave it to Qingji: "I don't have much elixir left. If I get this kind of injury again, I won't be able to recover!"
Lan Yusheng nodded and blamed himself: "It's all my fault for not protecting Meng'er!"
Wang Shuo looked at Qingji again and Linshuang said: "Qingji seems to be in pain!"
Wang Shuo's hand lightly scratched the surface of Qingqian, and he pulled it upward as if fishing. The sand in Qingqian's chest was pulled out by an invisible fishing line like a caught fish.
Qingji's chest rose and fell, and she turned sideways and vomited out a pile of bloody sand before she looked better and could breathe smoothly. Wang Shuo also fed her a pill and slowly recovered from her injuries.
Now all they could do was wait for the two of them to recover. They followed Wang Shuo's gaze and looked above their heads. Countless nine-headed worms' bodies were staggered across each other. The place where they landed was just a gap.
The group of people seemed to be standing under a huge mushroom. The nine-headed worms above their heads were like the gills under the mushroom cover, and in the distance that they could see, the bodies of the nine-headed worms gathered together were the mushroom stems.
The desert is the cover of the mushroom, and these nine-headed insects hold up the entire desert.
"This nine-headed insect might really be a branch of a demon tree!" Wang Shuo thought.
Lan Yusheng said: "So, the desert we are in was actually a big pit, and this demon tree grew here, supporting a desert?"
"At present, it is indeed true. What is the origin of this tree and what supports it to live so big? We can only know it by going to its roots!"
Linshuang and Xin'er stared blankly at this scene, which was too shocking.
…
A few hours later, Qingji and Meng'er woke up and began to meditate to speed up their recovery.
When the two of them had almost recovered, their expressions changed when they looked up and saw such an astonishing scene.
"What the hell is this?"
“Unheard of!”
Wang Shuo smiled: "After recovering, we will continue to set off. Since we have come to this place and seen this thing, of course we have to go and find out. We are not just allowed to stroll around here!"
After speaking, several people followed Wang Shuo and walked towards the tree trunk in the distance where many nine-headed insect bodies gathered.
Logically speaking, it should be extremely dark to be at the bottom, cut off from sunlight, but these nine-headed worms actually emit a faint light in the darkness, just like moonlight.
With the help of this light, several people could clearly see the surrounding terrain and scenery.
The ground is rugged and uneven. It can be said that it is almost like jumping on various strange-shaped rocks. It can no longer be described as walking.
As he walked, he observed these stones. They were neither spiritual stones nor minerals. There was an indescribable strange aura in them. However, judging from their dark color, they were obviously not ordinary stones. Wang Shuo picked up a piece on the way and observed it carefully.
After I really had no idea, I stuffed it into the gourd.
The group of people advanced for a full hour, and when they saw that they were about to approach the tree trunk, Wang Shuo stopped first. Seeing this, the group of people also stopped.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Wang Shuo pointed forward: "It looks like there is some trouble!"
Several people followed Wang Shuo's direction and looked forward, only to see stone figures standing in front of them.
These stone figures are lifelike, with various expressions on their faces, as if they were originally living people, as if they had encountered something and turned into stones in an instant. Their expressions and movements make it possible to see what they are doing.
"Is this a real person or a fake one?" Meng'er asked in surprise.
Wang Shuo frowned slightly, these stone figures were the same thing as the black stones on the ground.
Just as Wang Shuo and others paused, a sudden change occurred, and the stone men began to move slowly.
At that moment, a scene appeared in front of several people's eyes. The ordinary streets of the human race were bustling and peaceful.
However, the scene flashed and the scenery disappeared. The stone men looked at Wang Shuo and the others one after another, with expressions on their faces that could not be described as indifferent and dull.
Wang Shuo's gourd trembled for a while, and the black stone that had been stuffed into the gourd flew out and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the stones on the ground gathered and reorganized, just like machine puppets. Several people entered and touched some kind of mechanism.
Houses appeared all around, and the originally barren pit and gravel land turned into a town at this moment.
Countless black stone men walked among the streets. Although they did not attack any of them, no matter what they did, they always looked at Wang Shuo and the others.
"What's going on? It's too sudden!" Qingji said in surprise.
The same was true for the rest of the people. Even Wang Shuo looked shocked. This scene could never be an illusion, but it really happened in front of him.
These stone men lived and rested just like living people. Some stone men even gathered together to discuss Wang Shuo and the others, but there was no sound.
"Go up and talk to them!" Wang Shuo patted Lan Yusheng on the shoulder.
"Ah I?"
Wang Shuo nodded, and Lan Yusheng coughed twice, pretending to ask for directions, and came to a stone man. Seeing Lan Yusheng approaching, the stone man suddenly became wary.
"Dude, do you know what such a big tree is?"
The stone man looked at Lan Yusheng blankly, and then quickly shattered into a pile of rubble with a "boom".
Seeing this scene, the stone figures on the street opened their mouths and ran away. In an instant, there were only six Wang Shuo left on the street.
Lan Yusheng turned around and looked at Wang Shuo: "I didn't do anything!"
Wang Shuo thought for a while: "The scene we saw before should be the original appearance of the city. It turned into stone. It probably has something to do with the towering trees. It seems that if we want to know all this, we have to go to the center of the city.
Look at that big tree!”
The few people moved forward and continued to walk forward. The stone men opened the windows and secretly looked at Wang Shuo and the others.
Although this city is a stone city, its function is more real than Wang Shuo imagined.
Less than half a quarter of an hour after the few people moved forward, a group of stone men on horseback immediately caught up and blocked Wang Shuo and the others.
They were wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands. They looked like human officers and soldiers. They probably came after hearing the "report" that someone was killing someone on the street.
They looked at Wang Shuo and the others with cold eyes, pointing the spears at the six of them, and opened and closed their mouths not knowing what to say.
