After hearing the fat man's words, everyone had different expressions on their faces and looked at each other for a long time.
Feng looked extremely confused. He thought the fat man's words were a joke, "The phoenix is ​​something from your ancient myths and legends. How could it appear in reality?"
Wu Xie smiled with unknown meaning, his eyes dropped, and he glanced at Feng's hand that seemed to be clenched to restrain his emotions.
It suddenly occurred to him that he had seen a totem similar to a phoenix in a place before, and the black blind man had specifically reminded him about it at that time.
But the time was not right at the moment, so he did not speak out about it directly.
Zhang Haixing's expression was quite complicated. She glanced at the fat man, then turned around and pointed the flashlight in her hand at a crack in the gravel in front of her. Where the white beam illuminated, a small cluster of yellow and white flowers suddenly bloomed there.
.
The surroundings were cold and dark, and the cluster of fragile little flowers suddenly grew out. This scene seemed particularly strange.
The fat man was stunned for a moment when he came to those little flowers. He subconsciously looked up and wondered: "The cracks are so deep into the ground that no sunlight can reach them. How did these poor little flowers grow?"
"Because this is no ordinary flower." Wu Xie walked up to the gap and held up the lamp to shine inside.
More of these small yellow and white flowers are crowded in the crevices of the rocks. They are spread out in clusters, like moss in a cool and humid place, filling all the gaps between the gravel.
"I remember when my third uncle once told a story, he said that there is a kind of moss that grows on the bones of people and animals. It only has white and yellow stems, leaves and roots, and no flowers. It relies on roe deer to reproduce its offspring, and every time
Tufts start to grow from the head of the corpse, and then decompose and absorb the nutrients on the corpse, and soon spread to the whole body of the corpse, so their elders call this plant corpse head grass."
"This kind of moss will only appear in flooded burial pits. The more corpses there are, the happier it will grow. So even though these corpse grasses look harmless to humans and animals, they are actually quite toxic. The squeezed juice will
It erodes the skin, and if you encounter it in a tomb, no matter how skilled or bold the tomb robber is, you will have to go around."
As he spoke, he turned the flashlight's aperture to the maximum and shined it at the rubble pile further back. "Look, there are more of these small moss in the gaps behind. In other words, in the piles of rocks behind,
It’s very possible that they are all bones.”
The fat man's expression changed several times. He looked at the large moss blooming in the pile of stones behind him and said in a low voice: "In other words, a large number of people died in the front, just like what we saw when we were up there.
"
Wu Xie put on rubber gloves, picked up a long and thin stone, piled it around the stone, selected a place where the corpse grass grew more luxuriantly, and used the stone to shovel away the moss.
, revealing the decomposed bones underneath.
Then he fiddled around a few times and dug out the entire bone. After a quick look, he said, "It's a human skull. It's just that it was so badly damaged that it's impossible to tell how long this person died here."
Already."
The fat man chuckled, "The fat man is even more curious, what kind of treasure is ahead, worthy of these people dying here."
Everyone no longer hesitated and continued to move forward.
There was a section of gravel beach ahead where the corpse grass looked like an ant nest, so numerous that there was almost no place for them to stay.
Wu Xie and the others stood on tiptoes, carefully walking through it as if dancing a ballet, trying not to let their bodies touch the poisonous weeds.
Zhang Haixing, who was walking at the front, suddenly exclaimed. Everyone looked up and looked forward, and immediately held their breath involuntarily.
At the end of the bottom of the gap, behind the rocks, there stood an extremely huge bronze door. Whether it was pattern or material, it was exactly the same as the one Fatty Wu Xie and the others had seen in Changbai Mountain.
But what is frightening is that for some reason, a huge irregular hole has been opened in the giant bronze door in front of you.
"What's going on?" Fatty yelled, "Who the hell blew such a big hole in the bronze door?!"
No one answered, and the flashlight could not illuminate the entire scene of the huge door. They were all shocked by the large hole in the door and were a little at a loss.
Feng couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that someone destroyed this door and entered here before us? Could it be Bai Ci?"
Wu Xie looked at the huge gap, and his mind went blank. The huge hole was like a black hole, attracting all his attention.
A majestic, long and dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Its limbs were waving wildly, as if a giant centipede that had transformed from a monster into a prototype was crawling out of the hole little by little.
As if noticing Wu Xie staring at it, the black figure suddenly raised its head, its eyes were as red as lanterns, its curved jaws were like sickles, and it opened its teeth and claws, revealing the purple-black mouthparts inside, and its mouth opened wider and wider.
It got bigger and bigger, and eventually it even exceeded the size of the hole.
Wu Xie's eyes widened in horror, King Wannu!
That's a huge Wannu King!
He hurriedly warned everyone to be careful of the monster, pulled the fat man around and was about to run away, but a series of sharp noises suddenly rang in his ears.
"Eat it—eat it—"
The high-decibel sound was like two sharp hooks, piercing in without any explanation and without any hindrance, almost piercing through his eardrums and piercing through the other side of his head.
Wu Xie screamed in pain, squatting on the ground and covering his ears to no avail. The harsh noise was everywhere, and he was tortured to the point of death.
Damn it, this Wannu King can actually attack with sonic waves.
Just when Wu Xie was about to pass out from the pain, a familiar call broke through the barrier of noise and entered his mind, awakening his consciousness.
"Innocent! Innocent!"
"Innocent and innocent, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In an instant, all the noise faded away like a tide, Wu Xie slowly raised his dazed head, and when he saw it, he saw the fat man's big, rough head wearing a gas mask.
"Innocent?" The fat man stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, making a gesture. His voice was muffled behind the mask, "Hey, you are finally awake. You scared the fat man so much, do you still recognize this?"
Wu Xie blinked his tired eyes, sat up with his head in his hand, looked around, and found that they had reached the bronze door at some point.
Zhang Haixing and Feng Zheng stood in front of the bronze door and observed the various complicated patterns on it.
"Where is King Wannu?" Wu Xie rubbed his eyebrows and asked him.
The fat man looked confused, "What the hell, King Wannu, are you having a nightmare?"
"Didn't you all see it?" Wu Xie was surprised, then frowned and asked, "Then what's going on with me?"
The fat man said "Hey", "I want to ask you, you were walking fine, why did you suddenly faint? If I hadn't caught you in time, fat man, you would have had to face those people under the grass.
Kissed in the face.”
Wu Xie wanted to recall what had just happened, but when he thought about it for a moment, he felt a severe headache. He hurriedly asked the fat man for a cigarette and lit it. He opened the gas mask and stuffed it into his mouth. He lowered his eyes and took a few deep puffs.
mouth.
He watched quietly as the red sparks in his hand engulfed the tobacco and paper bit by bit, and the misty blue smoke swirled up, blocking the dim light in his eyes.
Since Muyu left, he has been controlling the number of cigarettes he smokes. On weekdays, the guys rarely see him lighting up cigarettes in the shop, but now he must use nicotine to relax his tense nerves and sort out what happened during this journey.
Everything, find the clues that he ignored.
Ever since they entered this crack, everything here has become weird.
The bird sculpture with a snake head, deliberately hollowed-out eyes, gray-white pupils... that sudden sense of familiarity...
The most important thing is why there is a hole in the bronze door here and how the hole was formed.
There is another point that is directly related to himself. Why did he see King Wannu crawl out of the cave? After climbing out, where did King Wannu go?
He couldn't help but begin to wonder, did the scenes he saw before really happen here? It was like the thunder and lightning photos that appeared on some ancient battlefields.
But judging from the behavior of Fatty and the others, it was obvious that they had not seen King Wannu, and there were no traces of King Wannu appearing around them.
In other words, what he saw was most likely fake, and those pictures were actually just hallucinations caused by his tinnitus.
When did you get recruited?
Wu Xie thought about it carefully, then turned to look at the fat man who was chewing on a compressed biscuit. When he saw him looking over, the fat man broke off half a piece and handed it over to him and asked him if he wanted to eat it.
"I'm not hungry yet." Wu Xie shook his head and closed his eyes again.
If it was an hallucination, then the fat man and the others sitting next to him were also part of the hallucination that appeared on the new level?
Wu Xie knew that he had to find a way to verify the authenticity. He didn't know what the mechanism of this illusion was.
He knew that there were some powerful illusions that could bring together the consciousness of all the people in this space at that time, and use the things in their consciousness to weave an unbreakable network, so he had to use someone who could not appear here.
.
If that person can appear, then everything here must be false.
"Wooden fish!"
Wu Xie looked behind the fat man and shouted suddenly.
His attention had been divided between the three fat men. After hearing his voice, the three of them turned their heads in unison and looked behind the fat man.
Wu Xie waited quietly, and then saw a man slowly walking out of the shadows behind a half-man-high stone with lush corpse-head grass growing there.
