The night was getting deeper, and a faint mist floated in the valley. Since the death of the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon, the purple halo on the north slope disappeared, and the surroundings became silent and dark.
The old hunter used the light stone to look at Bing Zhixie, and then at the shadow. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, why the young man he brought suddenly became two. He looked at the half-buried corpses and
Humanity said: "Don't you save these people?"
It turned out that the ground had been overturned by tree roots at this time, and the bodies of many students, teachers and soldiers in the camp had been buried in the soil. Some only had half of their bodies left outside, but they were completely petrified.
Shadow said: "These people have nothing to do with us, why should we save them?"
"I thought you were together." The old hunter didn't expect him to say this.
"What are they together? I don't know them at all." Ying said to Bing Zhixie: "Now that you have decided, let's go to the Tomb of the Hero King as soon as possible. Sage's life-long secrets are buried there."
Bing Zhixie walked up to Ruola and leaned down to take a look at her.
Ying Neng knew what Bing Zhixie was thinking and said, "Aren't you going?"
Bing Zhixie said coldly in her heart: "You want to leave her here alone? Don't forget that she saved your life and mine."
Shadow said: "Then bring her in with you."
Bingzhixie said: "What if there is danger inside?"
Ying smiled: "Yes, I understand. You really can't let go of this girl. Maybe you really like her."
Bing Zhixie was too lazy to argue with him, she just wanted to wait until Ruola woke up.
Although the old hunter felt that what Bing Zhixie said was reasonable, he was still worried and said: "After entering the king's tomb, you cannot desecrate him, otherwise... otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Shadow said: "Old man, there is no room for you to speak here."
The old hunter was full of anger, but when he thought that he really couldn't do anything to them, he was weak and no match for the two of them, he just sighed.
Seeing that he had stopped talking, Ying smiled again and said, "How could I blaspheme him? He gave up his life's treasures and secrets to me, and it was too late for me to thank him."
This Ying did talk more than Bing Zhixie. He seemed to feel uncomfortable if he didn't say a few words to others. He had to say it verbally when he clearly didn't need to communicate with Bing Zhixie.
Bing Zhixie went to look at the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon again, and saw that the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon were indeed very similar to human eyes. Not only were the pupils, pupils, and whites of the eyes clear and distinct, but even the lenses and corneas in its eyes were distinct.
They are almost the same as human eyes. At least these are definitely human eyes, living eyes, not the camouflaged eyes unique to some Warcraft.
Shadow said: "With my extensive reading and profound knowledge, I don't know that there is such a monster in the world. Either it is a monster that has mutated from a giant tree, or it is some kind of rare ancient relic. It's really rare.
, if you study this kind of monster carefully, you might be able to find something valuable, but it's a pity that Hullington and Alice are not here, they will definitely be happy with this novel thing."
As he spoke, Ying picked up a pink leaf on the ground. When the leaf was pinched a little harder, it would make a weird laugh like a three-year-old child. If you look closely, it turns out that there are many small leaf sacs on this leaf. With the leaf sacs
The contraction will cause a strange laugh. This is actually a means of self-protection or temptation for animals and plants in nature, such as the air sacs of frogs and the rattles of rattlesnakes.
Bing Zhixie thought for a while and felt that the situation here was probably like this. As the excavation deepens, the monsters guarding this tomb will gradually be awakened, and the monsters that are awakened first are the evil monsters that the old hunter said.
Young demons. This is why previous government archaeologists mentioned being attacked by a large number of unknown monsters in their diaries, but did not mention the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon and other monsters.
The locals mentioned that the mysterious disappearances must be related to the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon, and they must have excavated as recently as possible, close to the king's tomb. This can explain why not everyone who came here disappeared, but two groups of governments
Everyone is missing.
After the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon appeared, all people and monsters entered the dream, including the evil young demon. However, because the evil young demon was not afraid of petrification, after the dream was lifted, they returned to normal, while other creatures
The petrified fireflies of the phantom firefly were turned into stone. This is why some people's petrified statues were broken into pieces, while some people's petrified statues were intact.
As for where the corpses of the evil young demons killed in the past went, they may have been eaten by the cruel evil young demons, or they may have been taken back underground. As for the hundred-eyed tree demon with mature thinking and similar human intelligence,
Use its roots to throw all the petrified statues into the pits dug by the diggers themselves, and then rebury the pits with soil to protect this mausoleum responsibly.
So Bing Zhixie guessed and asked the old hunter. After staying here for so many years, he would always know something about the situation.
After listening to what Bing Zhixie said, the old hunter said: "Yes, even if your guess is not exactly the same, it is not much different. I have seen what happened here more than once. When I saw it for the first time, I
I was confused by the 'dream' of the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon, but fortunately I was hiding in the underground river where I brought you here. After being confused, I was washed back into the underground river by the river, and I escaped death. I came back later.
Here, with mental preparation, you will no longer be fascinated by the 'dream'. And as you said, the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon is the one who buried all the petrified people into the pit again."
Hearing this, Bing Zhixie breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the mystery of the disappearance of Beiwangpo Hanggu has been cleared up, and now that the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon is dead, there should not be any danger on the surface of the Hanggu. Even if there is
It won't be too big either.
At this time Ruola groaned.
The old hunter raised the spar and said, "She's about to wake up."
Ruola slept soundly at first, but as the night turned colder, mist gradually began to appear in the valley. She was cooled by the mist and gradually woke up. She first saw the old hunter holding the spar, and then
When she saw Bing Zhixie and Ying, they showed fearful expressions. Bi Jingying stabbed her at that time, leaving a terrible shadow in her heart. But she quickly calmed down and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Seeing the old hunter holding the spar, he asked, "Who is he?"
Ying squatted next to her and smiled: "You finally woke up."
Ruola knew by looking at his expression that he was the shadow who had hurt her, and instinctively leaned towards Bing Zhixie.
Ying chuckled: "You think of relying on him, but it's not in vain that he likes you."
Ruola looked at Bing Zhixie.
Bingzhixie said: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Ying said to Bingzhixie: "Why do you deny it? Why do you always deny the true emotions in your heart?"
Bing Zhixie looked calm and completely ignored his words.
Ying smiled and said: "You are really good at disguising yourself."
Ruola got up, and then she realized that she was lying on the root of a tree. Then she saw through the light that the hundred-eyed tree demons around her were still staring at her with their eyes open, and she was shocked.
Bingzhixie said: "It's okay now, they are already dead."
"Dead?" Ruola felt relieved when she saw that the trees were really motionless. Just as Bing Zhixie was about to ask her something, she suddenly shouted again: "Ah! Where are my teacher and my classmates?"
?”
Neither Bing Zhixie nor Ying thought about saving these people. Bing Zhixie actually wanted to save people in his heart, but the habits he had developed over the years and his master's teachings made him cold. But Ying really didn't.
I thought about helping these irrelevant people in the camp.
Ruola was anxious. She found the half-buried stone statue and dug it up desperately. Then she turned back to Bing Zhixie and asked for help: "Help me, help me save them. Maybe they are not dead yet."
Shadow said: "There is no need to waste our efforts. The chance of them surviving is not much better than zero. Let's go to the king's tomb as soon as possible."
Most of the people in the camp were brutally dismembered by the evil young demons, or were entangled to death by tree roots. Fortunately, no one survived.
However, Ruola was still digging, asking Bing Zhixie and the others to help her while digging.
When Bing Zhixie saw Ruola's begging eyes, her heart softened and she helped her dig it up. He must be different from before now, and maybe he will never be the same again.
The old hunter had already taken action, and Ying saw that they were all digging, so he had no choice but to help and save the people together.
With the help of Bing Zhixie and Ying's magic, the excavation speed was very fast, but most of the people dug out from the ground had turned into broken stones. Some half-body corpses were dug out and the outer layer had turned into stone.
, but the cavity of the body was still soaked with flesh and blood, and the scene was really horrific.
The more Ruola dug, the more anxious she became. These people were her teachers and classmates. Even though they might have some opinions and conflicts, they must have been with her day and night for so many years. That kind of familiarity and that kind of feeling were like
Like relatives.
After digging for a long time, I finally dug out a complete person.
Ruola took a look and shouted, "It's my mentor." She hurriedly lifted him out of the mud pit.
The color of the Royal Tutor's body has turned into a cold gray-white, and his skin has turned into a rough rock. You can press it with your hands. His body is still a little soft, but the outermost layer has turned into a stone shell.
His muscles are still very fresh.
Shadow said: "As expected of a royal mentor, after so long, he is still only petrified to this degree."
Ruola pulled Bingzhixie and said, "Save him quickly, you must save him." Her eyes were full of pleading and anxiety.
Shadow said: "You are worried about him."
Ruola shed tears and said: "Since I entered the academy, my mentor has been the person who cares about me the most. I have had no relatives since I was a child, and he is like my family."
Bing Zhixie and Ying were startled at the same time: "Are you an orphan?"
Ruola nodded.
Bing Zhixie lowered his head, and Ying's expression became different.
"So you must save him." Ruola cried, "It's all my fault... It's all my fault that I don't like learning magic. In the end, I can't help him at all."
