Chapter 138 Mummy in the tree hole

Lu Jing used the magic technique to obtain two important pieces of information from the lizard.

One of them is still about the white horn, which, as Lu Jing expected, was like this, standing at the top of the food chain in Shuosen Island. Its movements are always paid attention to by other extraordinary creatures, especially the active areas where the former often appear, which are an absolute forbidden area for them.

The direction of the lizard when it comes, that is, the brown and red woods in the northwest, and white anacondas appear in it every day.

The question was over here, but because of Lu Jing's absolute control over the lizard, the latter told all the news he knew about the brown and red woods.

This includes the second piece of information. The white anaconda once broke out in a fight with someone there, but the result was that humans retreated.

The lizard was nearby at that time, but was hiding in secret, not for the sake of watching the show, but for the flesh and blood of both sides of the battle.

Unlike the practice of human extraordinary people, these extraordinary creatures are extremely simple and crude in ways that strengthen their extraordinary abilities. That is, to devour other extraordinary creatures as much as possible, and to promote qualitative change through quantitative change.

By chance, this lizard happened to have a strong perception of this aspect, otherwise it would not have rushed into the trap prepared in advance for the half bottle of blood.

The result of the battle was undoubtedly the retreat of humans. Lizards did not dare to trouble the white anaconda, so they targeted humans who were constantly emitting bloody smell.

However, when the lizard was tracking a tree with strange "fruits" growing among the branches, he saw the man crawling in. Then it could no longer smell the other person. He wanted to lean up to check it, but he smelled a very disgusting smell and finally had to turn around and leave.

After learning this information, Lu Jing immediately determined that the "fruit" was most likely part of the shelter built by the man, and the outside was protected, so that he could avoid the pursuit of the lizard.

It is not clear whether this person is dead or alive at this time, but this does not prevent Lu Jing from going to the place to take a look.

The reason why he was able to establish a shelter on Shuosen Island was clearly designed to stay here for a long time. If this person was still alive, he would definitely have a full understanding of the white anaconda and would have a significant effect on the continued battle. Even if he died or left long ago, some things worth referring to in his shelter might be left in his shelter.

With the memory of the lizard, Lu Jing and his group, who had a clear target, quickly found the area where it tracked the person.

Stepping on the vine platform to climb to a high place, Lu Jing raised his hand and pulled off the dry and yellow grass ring tied to a branch, turned his head and said,

"Sure enough, there are other people here. The grass ring should be a marker to prevent getting lost in the forest. Our direction is correct... You can see if there are similar existences nearby."

"Captain, I think I've found it."

Fu Ju put down the telescope, raised his hand and pointed to the front left, and the other three looked in the direction of her finger. They saw a branch on the top of a giant tree that was embraced by more than a dozen people a hundred meters away? A small wooden platform was quite eye-catching.

"Don't rush to lean over, Xu Zhuo? Let's see the situation first."

If there were still people inside? They would have been treated like enemies by rashly breaking over. Lu Jing looked at Xu Zhuo beside him and said.

"Get it? Wait for a while."

Xu Zhuo raised his life wheel and observed the platform through its sniper lens? Then he said?

"I haven't seen anyone yet. The trunk behind the platform seems to have a door opened. It may be a wooden house opened inside the trunk... There is a ventilation window on it, but it's tightly closed? There should be no one inside? There is a lot of moss growing around the external platform, which is not like someone is constantly moving. It is basically certain that no one lives there."

Managing the vines to lift the group to the edge of the branch where the platform was located, Lu Jing first glanced at the wooden platform full of wet moss, and then turned his gaze to the wooden door on the trunk. Perhaps because he had not opened or closed for a long time, he could only vaguely see a half-person-high outline on the edge? If it weren't for a half-moon-shaped handle in the middle, it would be difficult to recognize it.

"Don't move first? I'm not sure if this platform can support everyone's weight."

Lu Jing took the lead in stepping on the platform, and did not rashly reach out to open the door. Instead, he printed black-line compound eyes on the surface of the tree branch. As his thoughts turned, the bark, including the wooden door, gradually cracked.

Sure enough, the inside of the trunks of this area had been hollowed out. Lu Jing only cut a small part of it, and the entire bark drooped down, and at the same time, he could smell a strong herbal smell.

However, when they saw the scene inside, everyone fell into silence at the same time. They saw a mummy dressed in a navy blue Taoist robe sitting upright in a tree hole of about the size of a platform under Lu Jing's feet, and the surrounding tree hole walls were carved with a large number of crooked words.

"How could a Taoist priest appear here... a monster catcher?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"No, this is not that simple. I have wondered from the moment when I first knew that there was a white anaconda in Shuosen Island before everyone, and you think, if this is really a monster catcher, is it necessary to fight for a snake on the uninhabited island?"

Lu Jing pointed to some bottles and unused herbs placed in the tree hole, and then said,

"These things, coupled with such a strong herbal smell, are enough to prove that he had tried to heal himself before... Even if he was seriously injured, he still refused to return to the submarine island for rest, but stayed in his original place to heal. Judging from his condition, it is very likely that he would be seriously injured and unable to cure. Will a normal monster catcher respond to this kind of response when facing a monster he cannot defeat?"

The monster catcher is not a guy who wants to go up to fight for life and death with others when he sees monsters or extraordinary creatures, let alone the white snare lives in the uninhabited Shuosen Island and has never attacked a merchant ship. The degree of harm cannot be said to have to be removed.

"Judging from the size of the tree hole, he didn't leave a space for the second person from the beginning. So this person should be specifically for the anaconda, perhaps because he wanted to get something from it?"

Gorman looked around the tree holes, and his eyes returned to the mummy. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and said again,

"Captain, see if there is something in the sleeve robe on the left arm of the corpse?"

Lu Jing, who had just approached the door, heard Gorman's prompt and immediately summoned a vine and lifted her sleeves.

A neatly folded yellowed paper strip and a jade pendant are revealed.

Still using vines to retrieve these two things, Lu Jing unfolded the note with one hand and took the jade pendant in front of him. As soon as he looked at it, he was stunned and stood there, then brought the jade pendant closer, and said in a deep voice,

"Tongtian...The word "Tongtian" is on this jade pendant!"

"Isn't this the Taoist Master Tongtian?"

The sudden discovery made Fu Ju not react for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment before asking.

"It shouldn't be. Regardless of whether the Taoist Tongtian died or not, when I went to inquire about the information about Taoist Tongtian, I learned that he was at least 70 years old. If you look at the corpse in the tree hole, whether it is a skeleton or skin, it is not something that an elderly person should have. This jade pendant is not just a symbol of the Taoist Tongtian, but in my opinion, it looks more like the identity card of the Taoist Tongtian!"

"Xu Zhuo is right. He is not a Taoist man in Tongtian, but a disciple in Tongtian Taoist temple. The jade pendant has his Taoist name, Taoist Minghui... This is what it means. The statue of the god in Tongtian Taoist temple was taken away by the monster. As a disciple, he naturally has the obligation to take it back."

Flipped the jade pendant in his hand, Lu Jing pursed his lips, recalling his previous experience in Tongtian Taoist Temple, which is now in Songyue Taoist Temple, and frowned again.

"What's strange is that the giant carp didn't mention this when we came to find the statue of God. Logically speaking, since it pays so much attention to the statue of God, there is no reason not to know that Tongtian Taoist Temple had sent people here... What had happened long ago, why did it act like it had just known?"

Thinking about doubts in his mind, Lu Jing didn't stop his movements. He expanded the note and checked the content above. His expression became more and more strange the next second.

"Is it his last words?"

Xu Zhuo noticed Lu Jing's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"No, you'll know if you look."

Handing the note to Xu Zhuo, Lu Jing walked into the tree hole and began to look at the text on the surrounding walls.

"If you want to control the white anaconda, you must first use the Earth Gang to summon the talisman to capture its soul, and then use the statue of the gods to strengthen its body. Only in this way can you take away the soul and make it respect you... What is recorded on this paper is the method of controlling the anaconda?"

After reading the content word by word, Xu Zhu felt his scalp numb for a moment. The Taoist priest from Tongtian Taoist Temple was not here to steal the statue of the gods. In fact, the statue of the gods was most likely sent by him, and it was accompanied by a talisman!

"The giant carp is lying to us. The statue of the god back then was not taken away by the anaconda, but the people in Tongtian Taoist Temple wanted to subdue the latter. Judging from this situation, it was obviously a failure... Why should a Taoist temple try to subdue such extraordinary creatures and assist in practice?"

Gorman frowned.

The three people outside were confused by the information revealed on the paper, but they heard Lu Jing's chanting sound coming from the tree hole:

"You see people with snakes in their heads, snakes, fish scales, earth cows, wooden horses, don't blame them. This is not as strange as dreams, dreams are not as good as awakening, and they have ears, eyes, hands and arms, which is particularly strange. Big words cannot be spoken, and great wisdom cannot be thought. Like dragons, dragons, snakes, turtles, fish and clams, dragons can all be used. Just a dragon, it cannot be a dragon, nor can it be a snake, turtle, fish and clams...What do these words mean?"

Beep~beep~beep~

The call from the conch sounded at this moment.

"Hello?"

"Lu Jing, we saw the monster!"

A voice of excitement came out in panic.

"What, you found the anaconda so soon?"

Lu Jing looked surprised. He didn't expect that the government's fleet would progress so quickly.

"Uh... I'm talking about other monsters. As for the anaconda, we saw a huge white snake scale, which should have been shedded by the anaconda!"
