Between mountains and seas

Chapter 108 The Living Stone Conjecture

Is Shao Jingxing courting death?of course not!

The reason why he fled in the opposite direction to these people was because he felt that these strange beasts that shouldn't have appeared here would end up chasing the kestrel—if he hadn't thrown away the Jiuqu bead on his body.

Under such circumstances, Chongming's group would eventually flee in all directions, and it was very possible that they would throw him out to stop these strange beasts, just like what the round-faced mercenaries wanted to do just now!

It's only fools who want to get close to them, because they are being used as a backstop by those bastards.One cannot trip over the same rock twice and fall to his death.

While cursing, Shao Jingxing quickly burrowed into the woods.The situation was exactly as he had imagined. After breaking through the entanglement of two maple trees, the forest in front of him returned to normal, leaving only those immobile cedar trees and ailanthus trees—he escaped from the encirclement!

After running for more than ten meters in one breath, Shao Jingxing turned his head to look, and saw that the two maple trees that attacked him just now could not be seen - dare the trees really move, did they go to besiege Chongming and them?

Yes, this is called retribution!Shao Jingxing thought in relief.It's best to kill Chong Ming's gang!

However, he has to find a way to get out of here now.Otherwise, if those Yu Snakes killed Chongming and the others, it was impossible to guarantee that they would not search for new prey on the mountain;In short, for the sake of safety, it is better to sneak away quickly.

But the question is, how to slip?The bottom of the mountain is surrounded by quicksand, and it is too dangerous to pass alone in the dark.

Shao Jingxing thought for a while, and heard the noisy voices from Chongming gradually moving to the foot of the mountain, and finally made a bold decision - to go back to the cave.

Chong Ming and the others probably hoped to use the quicksand to trap the besieged beasts into a group, but that was none of his business.The cave is where they escaped from. Few people would have thought that he would go back. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place.Even if Chong Ming and the others were fine in the end, as long as he didn't think of going back to the cave to find him, he would be safe.

Of course, the worm might still be near the cave, but Shao Jingxing is not so afraid now, because he thinks that the worm should only like wood-type energy, and probably not interested in his fire-type energy.

However, the most important thing for him to go back to the cave is to find a way to raise the snake.

Yes, the ground shook when the brooding snake appeared, it was not an earthquake.Of course, there was the vibration caused by the cracks in the ground, but more, it should be a common phenomenon of barrier cracks - others may not have noticed it if they escaped quickly, but because Shao Jingxing turned back to engage in round-faced mercenaries, he was there. At that time, I saw the ghosting phenomenon at the bottom of the cave.

At that time Shao Jingxing didn't have time to think about it, but now that he had some free time, he couldn't think about it.If this phenomenon is a manifestation of a crack in the barrier separating the two worlds, then is there a barrier in the world of mountains and seas?Although he has never seen how the tiger eagle and the scorpion appeared where they should not appear, but when he fell off the cliff, there was a double image at the end of the chain that Huo Qing flew out of, which is enough to prove that he fell into a crack .

Why is there an enchantment in the world of mountains and seas?Or is this an isolation method similar to an enchantment?The mountains in the world of mountains and seas are surrounded by this kind of enchantment, so that all kinds of strange beasts are restricted to their own territory, so there are no different beasts between the two mountains?

While thinking, Shao Jingxing quietly walked back to the cave.

The other end of the crack in the cave should be Songshan where the snake was raised.

Yes, Shao Jingxing wanted to go to Songshan.

Songshan belongs to the Dahuangnanjing family. Although it is not in the same department as Nanshanjing, it is basically in the south, at least further south than Guanti Mountain.And on Rongtian Mountain not far from Song Mountain, there is a fixed gate.

Of course, there must be a lot of snakes in Songshan, but now that there are so many snakes pouring into Guanti Mountain, the number of snakes in Songshan will decrease instead.Besides, Song Shan didn't have any other beasts other than raising snakes, and his fire-type supernatural ability had a certain restraint ability against wood-type snakes. If he really went there, the situation might not be worse than it is now.

That is... What mountain is there between Songshan Mountain and Rongtian Mountain?Shao Jingxing really couldn't remember it, he just remembered that there was a mountain in the middle, and the distance was very close - but the mobile phone was also dead, and he couldn't even check it on the app.

The cave is a bit of an unrecognizable place now.A large number of maple trees had grown up before, and the ground and mountain walls were full of cracks. Coupled with the damage caused by the battle, it looked horrible.However, Shao Jing walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down, and found that the cave was well maintained. Although a corner collapsed, it was supported by the huge skeletons inside.

From this point of view, even if the cave really collapses, these bones can hold up, which is really a good hiding place.

Shao Jingxing almost wanted to collapse the cave a bit more, so that no one would think that he would come here from the outside.Then even if he can't find the crack and go to Songshan, he doesn't have to worry that Chongming's gang will find him.

"You're really back..." A familiar gloomy voice suddenly sounded, Shao Jingxing turned his head in horror, and saw a pale silver bubble-like space emerging from the darkness, and He Maochuan walked out of it.

"Why are you still here!" Shao Jingxing blurted out.

"Ha——" He Maochuan laughed sullenly, "Tell me, how did you attract those breeding snakes?" Those maple trees popped up endlessly, and Chongming tried his best but could only force them It's impossible to drive away if it's a little farther away.And as more and more snakes are raised, these things become more and more courageous, and sooner or later they will launch an attack.

As soon as He Maochuan saw this trend, he hid in the Taiyin space.

Now that his body is getting weaker, it is no longer possible to use Taiyin's fox fur to tear and travel through space as he pleases. When he entered the world of mountains and seas, not only did he lose Monkey and Fudou, but the rest of them also went to the wrong place , already made him aware of his problem, so this time, he didn't want to take Chongming and others to escape together.

But after all, Taiyin is a shikigami with extremely special abilities. Even among Abe Seimei's twelve shikigami, this is the only one who can tear and control space.Although there is only a handful of hairs, the hairs themselves still have a small independent space.

Of course, this space is very small, and it is only enough for He Maochuan to hide in alone, and he cannot move at will, but it is very suitable to use it at this time, and he also caught Shao Jingxing!

In fact, not only He Maochuan felt that he was unlucky when he met Shao Jingxing, Shao Jingxing also felt that every time he met He Maochuan was the most unlucky.For example, this time, not only was he besieged by a group of alien beasts, but now he also got a big black pot on his head: "It's none of my business to raise snakes!"

"It's none of your business?" He Maochuan sneered, and Snow Maiden and Inugami immediately appeared from left to right, enveloping Shao Jingxing, "I still remember the red ants that suddenly appeared last time."

Red ants are none of his business, okay?

However, He Maochuan obviously didn't believe it, and just smiled darkly: "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it."

So easy to talk to?Shao Jingxing suddenly felt even worse: "What do you want to do? Well, if you don't care about them, how are you going to find Pi Hanxi?"

It's good that he didn't mention Pihanxi, but when he mentioned Pihanxi, He Maochuan suddenly remembered the scene of being fooled by him last time, and the old hatred and the new hatred came to his heart together - even if Chongming and others died, he If we go to recruit new poachers, we will never let Shao Jingxing get away with the tricks!

"It's more reassuring for you to die, so that I don't have to worry about your tricks anymore." For example, if you attract some other strange beasts.

As soon as He Maochuan finished speaking, Xue Nu's body suddenly swelled up, instantly becoming twice its original size, and she stepped out to Shao Jingxing's side.And the hair on Inugami's back exploded, and it seemed that he was about to jump over and bite him.

"Wait!" Shao Jingxing took a step back, and a small wall of fire was set up in front of him to block the Snow Maiden, "I know how those strange beasts came from!"

Xuenv's outstretched snow-white arm touched the fire wall, and it was scorched black in an instant.It is connected with Ka Maochuan, and Ka Maochuan almost immediately understood the power of the wall of fire through the feeling of the snow girl, and his face could not help but change slightly.

In his feeling, this wall of fire is quite domineering, Xuenv only lightly touches it, and it seems that the arm is still intact, but the strength in the arm has almost disappeared by half!

This kid's ability has grown again - He Maochuan came to a conclusion almost instantly.He still remembered the fireball that Shao Jingxing had shot that surrounded the bride. If Shao Jingxing had fired another fireball like this just now, Xuenv would have been burned to ashes in an instant. After all, its ability was actually not as good as that of the bride. So it's rather special.

From this point of view, if Shao Jingxing made a desperate effort to kill Xuenv, all of He Maochuan's energy sources would be cut off, and he could only release Inugami to fight him, and the result might be a loss for both sides.

In this case, it can be said that Shao Jingxing is not at a disadvantage, and may even have the upper hand.However, he said that he wanted to tell He Maochuan how those strange beasts came from?

Is this going to lie to him again?He Maochuan stared at Shao Jingxing's face, his heart turned rapidly.What's the point of him deceiving himself at this time, it would be more beneficial to kill Xue Nu in one fell swoop just now when he didn't know the details.

"Hey, don't believe me, these strange beasts really have nothing to do with me!" Shao Jingxing felt a little relieved when he saw Xue Nu retreating to He Maochuan.

This kid actually wanted to tell him the reason why the strange beast appeared?

He Maochuan could hardly believe his own judgment. Just when he was about to scold Shao Jingxing and try to deceive others, he suddenly thought of a possibility——couldn't it be that this kid actually doesn't know his true level of ability?

As soon as this conclusion appeared in his mind, He Maochuan had a feeling of not knowing whether to cry or laugh.Indeed, when he met Shao Jingxing for the first time, he was better than a rookie, and his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense was better than his ability.But this meeting only took a few months, and Shao Jingxing's strength had already improved a lot.

If the bride of the net was still there, He Maochuan could not care about Shao Jingxing's improvement. At that time, he had enough ability to play the role of dog god better, and even use Taiyin's fox fur to imprison or kill opponents.

But now it is different.Shao Jingxing's ability improved, but his energy was declining, one ebb and the other, and now he dare not say that he can surpass Shao Jingxing.

Fortunately, this kid doesn't know yet!He Maochuan thought of Shao Jingxing's cowardly face back then, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart—is this kid so used to being cowardly that he doesn't know his own strength at all?

It has to be said that He Maochuan got the truth.Shao Jingxing really didn't know that he now had the strength to fight He Maochuan. In his heart, he was still the rookie who was chased by the mountain spider and screamed, but he was a little more courageous—— That is to say, from running away when seeing a strange beast in the past, to now daring to burn the tiger eagle's ass.

"You tell me. If you still want to lie to me—" He Maochuan was ecstatic in his heart, but his face remained calm.Coax this kid to tell the secret first, and then find a chance to kill him!

Yes, he must be killed!Otherwise, if he discovers his true strength, he will be the one who is unlucky.

As He Maochuan was thinking, he secretly signaled Inugami that he was going to use Inugami to attract Shao Jingxing's attention, and then let the cat sneak up on him from behind. It must be a fatal blow so as not to leave any future troubles.

At this time, he suddenly heard Shao Jingxing say: "Actually, it is the bead that the Kestrel carries on its body that attracts these strange beasts."

"Nonsense!" He Maochuan retorted subconsciously, "If it was that bead, why were you all fine before!"

"Because the worms in the beads hadn't hatched at that time." Although Shao Jingxing didn't know his own strength, he didn't really intend to believe that He Maochuan wouldn't attack him after hearing the secret, so he was thinking desperately while talking. way of escape.

He Maochuan didn't expect him to say such a reason: "Bug? What kind of bug?"

"That bead is actually a bug egg." Shao Jingxing said, with a flash of inspiration, "Do you know what else was in that skull before? There is a pupa shell, which looks very much like the living stone you mentioned!" Other things can't impress He Maochuan, but the living stone will definitely be able to.

Sure enough, when He Maochuan heard the word "living stone", his eyes lit up immediately: "What did you say!"

Shao Jingxing then described the empty chrysalis shell to him, especially emphasizing the feel: "...It is exactly the same as a stone. I think, the living stone you are talking about is a chrysalis?"

"Nonsense." He Maochuan thought for a moment, but still didn't believe it, "How could a living stone be a chrysalis!"

When Shao Jingxing was making up nonsense, his mind was spinning quickly: "How is it impossible? Do you still remember that you said that when Ashiya Aoi was born, a pair of five-colored moths flew in his yard? And after the death of Emperor Murakami, There is also a five-colored moth on his body. Compared with "Ashiya Aoi is a five-colored moth that becomes a spirit", do you think that "the living stone is a pupa, after hatching, Emperor Murakami lost the organ that could replace the heart and died", would it be correct? Would it be more reasonable?"

The five-colored moth turning into a spirit is obviously nonsense. After all, it has long been proven impossible for a person to turn into a moth, and Liang Zhu is just a story.Even if someone is alienated, they still have to maintain some of their characteristics, and it is impossible to completely transform into another species.So Ka Mochuan just listened to it casually at the beginning, and even thought that the saying that there were five-colored moths on the body of Emperor Murakami was false, maybe it was just a coincidence that some other butterfly flew into the house.

However, now that Shao Jingxing connected the five-color moths that appeared twice, He Maochuan suddenly felt that Shao Jingxing had indeed discovered something that had been ignored all along.This sounds so reasonable!

"If the so-called living stone is just a stone, it would be too unreasonable." Seeing that He Maochuan had listened to his words, Shao Jingxing secretly rejoiced, "Facts have proved that even if an inanimate thing undergoes alienation, it is not something that the human body can directly absorb. It can be absorbed and utilized. Not to mention something as important as the heart, if you replace it with a stone, how can it meet the needs of the human body?"

The human body can be said to be an extremely sophisticated operating system, and the gap between life and death is even more like an abyss. If energy can replace human organs, wouldn't the supernatural beings be able to replace what they lose with energy?But this is obviously impossible.It is impossible for a person with supernatural powers to grow back their own limbs without losing their hands and feet, and they will die if they lose too much blood.

He Maochuan nodded involuntarily: "So you think that the live rock brought by Ashiya Aoi is the egg laid by the pair of five-colored moths?" He also saw the bead, if Ashiya Aoi's mother regarded the eggs as a A gem or something is also very possible.After all, some poor people have never even seen jewelry.

"That's right!" Shao Jingxing was worried that he couldn't make up the story, but He Maochuan didn't expect He Maochuan to connect the story himself, so he nodded quickly, "The death of the monkey is because the larva in the egg absorbed his power. Think about it, absorbing the power grows longer." Big bugs naturally have energy in their bodies. The heart belongs to fire, and I think the pupa brought by Ashiya Aoi was formed by absorbing fire-type abilities, so the color is red."

"You have a point..." He Maochuan murmured, "However, my ancestors once saw live rocks covering the bottom of the river. How can this be explained? Where did so many chrysalis come from? And why were they banned?" In such a cold place?"

God, why is this little devil thinking so much?How can he make up this?
