Between mountains and seas

Chapter 138 Another Pillar

In the darkness of the night, the ground was suddenly torn apart in a dull rumble, and red flames rushed up from the gap, spraying countless burnt red sand, like a miniature crater.

Seeing that a ball of red fire forcefully pushes the cracked ground away and is about to rush out, the surrounding scenery suddenly shakes slightly, and double images appear.And the small crater also first separated a shadow, and then merged into one again. However, after the overlap, the fireball that was about to rush out of the ground disappeared suddenly, leaving only the ground that was thrown into a mess, and the fireball from the ground. Along with the sand and stones, many charred and dried fragments of rat corpses were thrown out...

Shao Jingxing lay disheveled on the ground panting, and it took him a long time to speak: "Are you still alive? Hurry up and get off me if you are alive... I will be crushed to death by you!"

So the two people who fell on him moved and climbed down one by one.Wang Chenggang said sorry in a daze, but Tang Jia snorted, and then exclaimed: "What kind of place is this!"

Shao Jingxing was used as a meat pad, and was hit so hard that he almost vomited blood. Even though both of them had climbed down, his eyes were still dark and his chest was tight. From the fresh air, he could tell that they were definitely not in the ground anymore, and the surroundings were also crowded. It was very quiet, and there was no sound of mice, so he closed his eyes and asked feebly, "Where is it?" Isn't it in the woods?

"This is, this is—" Tang Jia was the one stacked on top, so she was basically not injured, but it was hot and stuffy in the fireball before, and the exposed skin was scorched hot.But now the surrounding area is very cool, and the feeling of suffocation was instantly swept away, so she began to look around, but when she saw it, her eyes almost popped out!

"Look!" Tang Jia stared blankly at the towering black pillar in front of him, and couldn't describe it, "There's a pillar there, it's so thick..." She felt that her words were dry.

When Shao Jingxing heard the word "pillar", he suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a huge gray-black pillar, towering high from the forest in front of him, piercing into the sky and into the clouds, it was extremely spectacular.

"Ao Zuzhu!" Shao Jingxing got up abruptly, he couldn't care less about chest tightness and dizziness.They actually broke through the space and fell from the rat beast's territory to another foot pillar!

But the position of this Aozu pillar is different from the previous one.This is not a desert, but a forest, but the light is dim now, and he can't see clearly what is going on with just a few stars.

"What pillar?" Tang Jia asked blankly, "What kind of place is this?" She didn't even figure it out, wasn't she still in a cave just now?

Shao Jingxing didn't intend to explain to her: "I'll go and have a look!" Another scorpion pillar, this is too important, maybe we can find a clue!

"Wait for us!" Tang Jia didn't dare to separate from Shao Jingxing now, and followed closely.

The further you go, the denser the trees and the dimmer the light.As Tang Jia was walking, she tripped over something and fell down, hitting her face hard on the ground.

"Ouch——" Tang Jia gritted her teeth. There seemed to be a rock buried in the soil under her body, and the part protruding from the ground just came into intimate contact with her chest.Fortunately, the protruding surface is still flat and smooth, otherwise...

The sky was pale, the darkest period before dawn had passed, and the light of the morning sun penetrated into the woods.Taking advantage of this morning light, Tang Jia looked at the rock under him, but he was facing a black hole - in the middle of the milky white stone, there was a fusiform black hole, and there was a slight sound of screeching inside. It seemed that some insects were startled by her and were crawling in a panic.

"Ah!" Tang Jia cried out involuntarily, and rolled her body to the side desperately, for fear that some insects would crawl out of the hole.

But when she turned over, she found that what tripped her was also a milky white stone, protruding from the ground in a triangular shape, and its texture was very similar to the one she hit.

"What is it?" Tang Jia looked around and found that there were many such milky white stones on the nearby ground, but most of them were buried in the soil, and the parts exposed on the ground were also covered by weeds, so they didn't pay attention if they didn't look carefully. less than.

Right next to where she was sitting, there was such a small stone standing there pointedly. Tang Jia pulled it out from the soil with a random twist.

This stone is slightly thicker at both ends and slightly narrower in the middle, like a short stick.And under it, it seems that the same stone is buried in the soil.

"What are you doing?" Shao Jingxing hurriedly went to have a look in front of Ao Zuzhu, seeing Tang Jia sitting on the ground and not getting up for a long time, he couldn't help feeling a little impatient, "Did you fall?" He didn't hear her complain of pain.

"There are some strange stones here." Tang Jia dug in the soil again, and dug out a longer stone, but from the dug gap, there was still a similar milky white underneath.

"Stone?" Shao Jing walked over and looked at the two stones, "What is it?" These two stones are similar in shape, if they are connected together, why would they look alike...

"There are also here." Wang Chenggang dug out a larger white stone from the soil on the other side.This stone was quite big. Wang Cheng had just planed it several times, only the half-round head was exposed, and there was obviously a long section buried in the soil below.

"Stop digging." Shao Jingxing suddenly felt a little nervous.But he said so, but he ran to dig up the soil around the rock that Tang Jia had "intimate contact" with just now.

Tang Jia couldn't help curling her lips: "You—" You didn't want others to plan it, but you planed it yourself, and even planed that rock specifically. Isn't Young Master Jing a pervert now?

But before she could utter her words, Shao Jingxing had quickly dug up a large piece of soil around the stone, exposing most of the surface of the "stone".You can see clearly now, this thing... looks like a... skull!

"What is this!" Tang Jia scrambled to the side to hide.Although this skull does not have normal eye sockets, the lower part is very similar to a human skull, especially the mouth!

And this thing is so big!This, what the hell is this thing!

Shao Jingxing stared at that skull - he had seen this stuff before, in that cave - it was the skull of a member of the Fangfeng clan!

"You—" Shao Jingxing cast his eyes on the two "small stones" that Tang Jia dug out, "it should be the finger bones." As for what Wang Cheng just dug out, it might be the humerus—that is, the end of the upper arm bone.

Tang Jia let out the scream of the chicken being strangled again, and moved to the other side.But soon she screamed: "There are also here!"

Yes, the light was a little brighter now, allowing them to see more things clearly—in this forest, there were at least three or four huge skeletons, all of which belonged to the Fangfeng clan.

"They ran out?" Shao Jingxing looked up at Ao Zuzhu.It can be inferred from the Aozu pillar of the Gonggong family that the situation of these four Aozu pillars should be similar, that is to say, they are basically used as prisons, so if this Aozu pillar is made of Fangfeng If someone with supernatural powers came to "refine" the five-color stone, then these members of the Fangfeng clan should not be able to escape.

"Who do you think ran out?" Tang Jia calmed down a bit, and asked Shao Jingxing inexplicably, "Also, what are these bones?"

How could Shao Jingxing have the time to explain to her: "Go, go ahead and have a look!"

The woods suddenly thinned out around the Aozuzhu. Shao Jingxing found some raised mud clods from the ground at a glance. Although it had been overgrown with weeds after a long time, it looked like ordinary ground, but he still vaguely recognized them. Out of the shape of a puppet—this should be the clay puppet guarding Ao Zuzhu, but it was knocked down and scattered a long time ago.

What's going on here?Shao Jingxing worked hard to think with his brain.

Obviously, the breaking up of these puppets must be due to the work of Fangfeng, and perhaps the bones on the ground are the result of the battle.Combined with the corpse he saw in the cave and the chrysalis shell inside the skull, it can be concluded that the rescue operation must have been successful, and someone escaped with the eggs in the body.

As for how many people escaped, it is hard to say.Or maybe there was only one, and ended up dying in the cave, or maybe there were more... Shao Jingxing suddenly remembered the legend of Dayu punishing the Fangfeng Clan—could it be that the reason was not that the Fangfeng Clan was late for the meeting of the princes, but because the Fangfeng Clan destroyed Did Nuwa's plan come true?

Speaking of which, Shao Jingxing felt a little strange when he read "Yu Zhu Fangfeng" in the book.

Although Yu did not "govern the world with virtue" like Yao and Shun, and was later criticized for passing the throne to his son and changing the "public world" into "family world", but after all, he also walked through the wilderness for the sake of water control, and went through the family three times. A person who does not enter is by no means a violent king. How can he kill someone just because he is late?But if Fangfeng had done such a thing, it would make more sense.

While thinking about it, Shao Jingxing walked to the front of Aozuzhu.

This Aozu pillar was very similar to the one he saw in the Great Desolation Mountain, and it was also engraved with oracle bone inscriptions. Shao Jingxing took out his mobile phone and took a picture of them——after meeting the Aozu pillar last time, the Special Affairs Department The logistics department specially replaced them with special mobile phones. The parts inside are all specially made and extremely corrosion-resistant.Of course, there is no signal when you enter the world of mountains and seas, but you can still use it to take pictures. It is much more convenient than the last time they traced the text and pattern on the lining of the backpack, and it can also avoid tracing mistakes.

He clicked and clapped around the foot pillar, and wanted to climb up to have a look.Although I guessed that there should be the bones of the Fangfeng people inside, but seeing is believing is more reliable, isn't it?

"You still want to climb up?" Tang Jia was so scared and tired that she sat on the ground and didn't want to get up. Seeing that Shao Jingxing didn't intend to go out, she really didn't want to stay with these bones anymore. "What can there be up there?" Huh? Let's go."

Shao Jingxing just rolled up his sleeves: "Just wait underneath, I'll climb up to have a look." Of course, time is indispensable to climb up and down again, I'm afraid Tang Jia and Wang Chenggang will have to wait for a long time, "Don't you Run around."

Tang Jia said angrily, "Where are you going? I'm going to starve to death—" She had been sitting on a mound, kicking her feet around indiscriminately while talking, and suddenly felt that something was stuck on the bottom of her trousers. The thing got stuck, so I flicked it with my hand, but my tentacles touched a handful of smooth and greasy things, not like branches or weeds.

Tang Jia looked back subconsciously, and saw a cluster of dark red branches stretching out from her feet at some point, and between the leaves, a bright red snake was coiled on a branch, and its head had already reached her. The legs, and what she touched just now were the smooth scales on the snake's back.

"Ah!" Tang Jia screamed and jumped up, "There is a snake!"

Shao Jingxing turned his head abruptly, and found that at some point, a few tree branches stretched out from behind him.

The woods surrounding the Aozuzhu were originally some distance away from the Aozuzhu, that is, the place where the four clay dolls were originally guarding was an open space—although these dolls have been reimbursed for a long time ago, the open space is still reserved There were only sparse weeds growing, no higher than ankles; that's why Shao Jingxing was able to see the shapes of those discarded dolls from the ground at a glance.

And if he wants to go to the front of the Aozuzhu to take pictures, it is equivalent to walking to the center of the open space, which is at least four or fifty meters away from the edge of the forest, but now, the forest is moving forward quietly—— , It's not that the woods moved forward, but those branches stretched like rubber bands, and now they have extended behind him!

"Ah!" Wang Chenggang also let out a short exclamation.After he had been broken, he was the closest to the woods at this moment, and was pulled down by a branch wrapped around his ankle, and dragged into the woods.

Shao Jingxing threw a fireball over.His aim is very good now, the compressed fireball is only the size of a peanut, and the bullet hits the middle of the branch accurately, and the branch is blown to blood spatter...

That's right, it was blood splashing, and what flowed out from the stubble of the broken branch turned out to be something like blood, with a bloody smell.

Wang Cheng had just narrowly escaped death, and even crawled to Shao Jingxing's side: "This, this forest is alive!" If he had been dragged in just now, he knew it would be impossible to come out again.

Tang Jia also screamed and ran over: "What kind of place is this!"

Shao Jingxing murmured, "Song Shan...maybe..."

In the night just now, even if he was a supernatural being, he couldn't see clearly in the woods. He just felt that the color of these trees was a bit different from ordinary trees.But now it was almost dawn, and the fish-belly white on the horizon was enough for him to see clearly—the branches of these trees were dark red, but the leaves were reddish red. They looked like maple trees, but they were not ordinary maple trees...

He has seen this before, isn't this the maple that grows in symbiosis with snakes?In the cave where Fangfeng's bones were found, he was almost entangled by these things!No wonder, these maple trees were originally used to guard the Aozuzhu here, no wonder they chased them into that cave!

"What should I do?" Tang Jia dragged Shao Jingxing tightly, "There are snakes, there are snakes!" They walked in the dark woods just now and didn't find them. Now that they think about it, there may be snakes everywhere they walked. Just stare, it's horrible!

Shao Jingxing gasped from being pinched by her long nails: "Don't pinch me!" Yu Snake is a wood-type beast, he can burn it with fire.The problem is that this piece of woods looks endless, and it can't be burned!

"The branch is coming!" Wang Chenggang also yelled.If he could maintain a little composure in the Rat Beast's territory, he couldn't be composure now—these fast-growing and bleeding trees are so weird that it makes people feel hairy.

Climb up to the Aozu post?Shao Jingxing's first thought was this, but he immediately vetoed it.

They are already standing at the place where the clay dolls fell. It can be seen that after these dolls are damaged, they can no longer pose any threat to maple and snake breeding. go up.And even if they don't follow, as long as they surround them, won't they be able to surround them to death?Can they really survive here for ten or eight years by catching and breeding snakes?

So you still have to escape.

But is there a way out?There must be.Otherwise, how did the Fangfeng clan member escape?

"Follow me!" When danger was ahead, Shao Jingxing's head always turned quickly—following the bones of the Fangfeng clan, that was the most likely way they escaped back then!

Tang Jia was about to go crazy: "That's in the woods!" Did Shao Jingxing lose his head, was he trying to throw himself into a trap?

But Shao Jingxing didn't listen to her at all, he took her by the hand and rushed into the woods as soon as he greeted Wang Cheng.His hands were so strong that Tang Jia couldn't help being pulled by him, and she rushed into the woods. At a glance, the maple branches all around seemed to be wriggling, as if there were countless snakes swallowing between the branches and leaves. The blood-red Xinzi made Tang Jia scream in fright: "Ah——"

The sharp cry rippled away like water waves, Shao Jingxing felt dizzy and almost vomited.As soon as he screamed that it was not good, he vaguely saw the maple tree in front of him. The branches that were stretching towards them actually shrank back, and the snake among the branches turned around and crawled back along the branches. Already——Tang Jia's voice, did it work?
