Chapter 114 Falling into a Ghost Cave
Chapter 114 Falling into the Ghost Cave
Xiao Ran stared at the corpse-scented konjac with vigilance. Apart from turning its head, the demonic flower didn't seem to have any other plans for the moment.
Regarding Xiao Ran's statement, Professor Chen added: "I have also heard that this corpse-scented konjac originally grew in the Houyuetian Kingdom and flowed to the Central Plains through the Silk Road, but it became extinct because of the unsuitable soil and water. It is said that this corpse-scented konjac
The fragrant konjac grows in ancient tombs and can keep corpses from rotting and letting the corpses emit fragrance. I thought this was just a myth mixed in historical materials, but I didn't expect it to be true."
The fat man heard this and asked: "So what Brother Xiao said just now is true? Could this big taro eat people?"
Professor Chen shook his head: "It may not necessarily eat people, but it is said that this corpse-scented konjac is also called the flower of evil spirits. Once it grows, evil spirits will live in it, and living people can no longer approach it. What Xiao Ran said just now counts.
Explained the origin of the name of this evil spirit. This flower is not only dangerous, but also extremely rare. Everyone must be careful..."
According to Professor Chen, everyone should not only be careful not to be harmed by the corpse-scented konjac, but also be careful not to harm the corpse-scented konjac.
"What do you mean?"
The fat man stared at the coffin of the Kunlun Sacred Tree, unable to move his eyes away. Any of the treasures in the pile of funerary objects just now were exquisite pieces that could shock the world, so there must be something even more extraordinary in the queen's coffin.
Moreover, the fat man wanted to see the true face of this exquisite queen who had tortured everyone all the way.
Professor Chen said: "We would rather not go there than take any risks."
Now we are only a few dozen meters away from Queen Jingjue's coffin. The purpose of Xiao Ran's trip, in addition to looking for possible fragments of the Faqiu Seal, is to help Prince Gumo completely eliminate Queen Jingjue. The soul-locking spirit beads have also promised
, if you kill the queen, you can also lift all the curses and prevent everyone from being buried in the sand at sunset.
But now that Professor Chen was opposed to moving forward, Xiao Ran didn't want to take so many people and take risks, so he had to use a flashlight to pretend to check the environment, and took the opportunity to hide behind a giant-eyed stone statue, while Professor Chen was still discussing with several other people about corpses.
Between the fragrant konjac and the Kunlun sacred tree, I took out the pendant of Bei Jiuguo.
This guy was suppressed by the power of Queen Jingjue and had been silent all the way. However, although he could not speak, his other functions were still there. He secretly asked: "Xiaojiu, can you hear me? Is the Faqiu Seal fragment here?
In the Queen’s tomb?”
Bai Jiuluo trembled slightly, and the tentacles around the pendant slowly rose up, condensing into a pointer again, but pointing squarely at Xiao Ran's chest.
Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that he still had the fragment of the hair mound seal in his clothes, so he took out the cloth bag containing the fragment, put it under Bei Jiuguo, and asked again.
This time, Bei Jiuguo's pointer continuously turned left and right, and then pointed at Xiao Ran again.
"You mean, apart from this fragment, there is nothing else?"
Baijiu Kuo's pointer slowly ticked up, like a nod, and then slowly dispersed and retracted, turning into a silent copper button shape again.
Xiao Ran quickly stuffed everything back into his clothes. In this case, he can take care of the queen without any worries. There is still nearly an hour before sunset, which should be enough.
But where is the fragment that existed in the Western Territory before? Xiao Ran felt very confused for a moment. It couldn't be hidden in another ruins of an ancient Western country buried in the desert, right?
Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind. He turned around and saw the searchlight pointing at Shiliang, illuminating the ghost cave characters on it. Hao Aiguo, with Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng, were excitedly heading towards Shiliang.
Walk away.
After all, in the Queen's mausoleum, apart from the tattered funerary objects and the rare Kunlun sacred tree, the most valuable thing is these ghost cave writings with unknown meanings. These writings are likely to record all the truth about the ghost cave, which is more valuable than the black stone outside.
The ghost cave inscriptions in the pagoda are even more precious.
But Xiao Ran was shocked. He had already said that the corpse-scented konjac would harm people, but why did these nerds insist on killing people?
He rushed over, shouting as he ran: "Stop! It's dangerous!"
A strong floral fragrance suddenly penetrated his nostrils. He felt dizzy and stumbled to the ground.
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang rushed over to help him up. When they saw the hole in his gas mask, Shirley Yang took out the first-aid medical tape from the bag and wrapped the hole carefully: "This can help you deal with it a little bit..."
Xiao Ran shook his head. He was anxious for a moment, but he was taken advantage of by the smell of corpse-scented konjac. He pointed at the three people who had already reached Shi Liang and said: "Quickly stop them, otherwise it will be too late."
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked at Xiao Ran suspiciously, as if he had gone crazy.
"Bang!"
At this moment, gunfire suddenly rang out, frightening the three of them. Looking at the sound, they saw the fat man holding a gun and aiming it at the three people in front of the stone beam, with smoke still coming from the muzzle.
"Fat man, you are crazy..."
Before he finished speaking, the fat man shot again, knocking off the shovel that Chu Jian was holding in the air in front of the stone beam. If he hadn't taken action in time, Chu Jian's shovel would have hit Hao Aiguo on the head, and Hao Aiguo would have killed himself.
The shovel stabbed into Sa Di Peng's belly.
The three of them were staggering like drunken men. Sa Di Peng, who was bare-handed, clumsily picked up a stone and walked towards Chu Jian.
Hu Bayi finally came to his senses at this time, and ran towards the stone beam together with Xiao Ran and Shirley Yang. The fat man who was closer took the lead, rushed over and threw Sa Di Peng to the ground.
The next three people arrived one after another and held Chu Jian and Hao Aiguo down. The three members of the archaeological team kept struggling and laughing like crazy, shouting: "She is alive! She is alive!"
Xiao Ran and others had no choice but to take out the climbing rope and tie the three people back to back for fear that they would hurt themselves and their teammates.
Hao Aiguo and others no longer struggled, but sat on the ground and giggled.
"I didn't expect that I would actually be possessed by a ghost! There is indeed a ghost in this flower!" the fat man exclaimed.
Xiao Ran pulled the three of them up with the rope and said to Hu Bayi and the others: "Take them far away and use explosives to clean up this broken flower!"
Fatty and Shirley Yang were relatively close to the three of them, so they pulled them and ran back.
A muffled sound of "pop" came from behind. Xiao Ran and Hu Ba turned around subconsciously. The originally closed corpse-scented konjac flower between them had now opened all its leaves, as quietly as a big mouth.
Facing the two of them.
In the middle of the bright red and green leaves, the dark stamens twisted, shaped like a closed eye. As the stamens fluctuated, the eyes slowly opened, and there were actually two pupils in the eyes, staring at Xiao Ran and Hu
August 1.
Under the illumination of the lights, the pollen was like snow flying in the sky, almost completely covering the goggles of the gas mask.
Those large grains of pollen spread out one by one and turned into white flying ants with heads, thorax, abdomen, legs and wings, constantly hitting Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi's faces.
Xiao Ran tried his best to block the flying ants with his hands, but suddenly a withered black hand stretched out from the ant colony and slapped him in the face.
He felt a strong push that made him retreat continuously, and his feet fell straight into the black hole abyss behind him.
The ant colony dissipated in an instant, and he saw a masked man staring at him on the edge of the cliff, as he fell further and further away.
The fear of falling made him struggle hard. His body tightened suddenly, and the darkness in front of him suddenly became blurry, then slowly became brighter.
"Hoo!"
Xiao Ran sat up suddenly, as if he had a nightmare. He felt that his eyes were white, his ears were buzzing, and there seemed to be a cold wind blowing from his cheeks.
He rubbed his eyes and his vision slowly recovered. At this time, he was actually on a snowfield.
"Are you okay!"
A familiar voice sounded, and a man in military uniform squatted in front of him, his face full of concern.
It's Hu Bayi!
