After Eggplant reminded him, everyone's attention once again shifted to the Xiongnu leader sitting at the entrance of the passage.
I saw that not only was his head turned 180°, but his two arms were also twisted back, facing the four people.
Although the head and arms were twisted, the body remained still, as if each limb of the body had its own thoughts.
Looking at this weird figure, Ji Han couldn't help but complain:
"This Hun leader is also a yoga enthusiast, and his movements are too exaggerated."
Chen Ke frowned and said:
"Brother Ji, stop joking, how should you deal with it?"
Eggplant raised his gun and said:
"What's the matter? Watch me shoot you in the head and give you a gift."
Ji Han hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Don't use a gun. I don't know if there will be any danger after breaking these glowing hyphae. Let's still fight in close combat. This thing has no weapons anyway. Just take off his head like before."
Everyone followed Ji Han's instructions and took out their melee daggers, and Ji Han himself also took out his claw knife.
Four people are within this passage, and weapons that are too long are difficult to use.
At this moment, the Xiongnu leader slowly put his arms on the ground to support his body, then twisted his legs and stood upright.
The whole person's limbs are backwards, and even the head is standing on the back. It looks like a giant insect twisted into a human body lying on the ground.
It's simply a deformity.
The four people felt their scalps numb after looking at it, and they all held their short blades tightly.
The Xiongnu leader, who was lying on the ground in a strange posture, bowed his body, and then used his legs to jump to the wall next to the four of them.
Fortunately, the four of them were prepared, and they distanced themselves on the spot to surround the Xiongnu leader.
At this time, when I looked closely, I found that the Huns leader's fingers and toes were twisted in strange places.
Fortunately, it had no weapons in its hands, and the rusty scimitar on its waist had been thrown aside by Ji Han.
The Xiongnu leader stretched out his hand and slapped Eggplant next to him. Eggplant blocked it with his gloved arm, then pulled the Xiongnu leader over and stabbed him in the neck.
Although the dagger was not long, it still made a large gash on the leader's neck.
If there are no bones, the eggplant can be cut in half with this knife.
Similar to a living corpse underwater, there was no blood flowing out from the scratched wound, but a large amount of transparent gelatinous mucus.
Eggplant wanted to keep the distance, but the Huns leader rushed towards him.
Song Qian raised her leg and kicked the body of the Xiongnu leader to the wall.
Ji Han saw the right moment and stepped forward to strike at Eggplant's uncut neck again, but when he slashed with the knife, the Xiongnu leader waved his hand to block the blade.
Although it was blocked, the four fingers on the palm were all cut off.
Seeing this opportunity, Eggplant went up and stabbed the remaining connected neck again, this time finally cutting off the thing's head.
Seeing the head of this deformed creature beheaded, Chen Ke, who had not done anything yet, breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, everyone discovered that the body of the Xiongnu leader had not stopped moving.
From where the fingers were broken, and where the neck was broken.
A large number of shining white hyphae were drilled out and connected to the severed fingers and head.
The broken place is like a lotus root being cut open, with many silk threads hanging in the middle.
The place where the lotus roots were disconnected slowly shrank, and finally the severed fingers and head were reconnected.
Seeing this, the four people retreated towards the tunnel entrance together.
Eggplant frowned and said:
"Be careful. This guy is different from the one in the water. His severed body can be restored."
Chen Ke remembered the words on the wall just now and asked:
"Is this the body of the god mentioned in the tribal wall texts? It seems that the human body and fungi are symbiotic."
Ji Han nodded and said:
"This should be its normal state. What we encountered in water may have lost this ability because it has been soaked in water for many years and the activity of the fungi has disappeared."
Just as he was talking, the body of the Xiongnu leader changed again.
It's like he's melting, he walks crookedly, and the sizes of various parts of his body are out of proportion.
The four of them didn't know whether to fight or retreat when the Xiongnu leader rushed over and punched Ji Han in front.
Just as Ji Han wanted to raise his hand to block, he saw the right fist raised by this guy suddenly become as big as his head.
As the whole body shook, a heavy punch came!
Ji Han was surprised and was knocked several meters away before he could defend himself. He flew directly out of the innermost tunnel and fell into the circular tomb.
Upon seeing this, the other three people hurriedly retreated to check on Ji Han's condition.
Ji Hanxin said that the body of this thing is like water, and the size of each part can be changed at will.
Are you Luffy's second gear?
He was knocked out of the corridor and landed in a circular tomb, with those thigh-thick luminous hyphae behind him.
Just as Ji Han was about to stand up and fight again, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed.
It turned out to be the irregular deep hole with mycelium drilled in the middle of the circular tomb. It may have collapsed due to the passage of time and the trampling of the cold season.
In desperation, Ji Han hurriedly leaned forward. Fortunately, the whole body did not collapse. Only his lower body fell into the mycelium hole "leading to the divine realm", and his upper body lay outside.
Upon seeing this, the three people hurried over to rescue him. Song Qian rushed over and grabbed Ji Han.
Eggplant did not dare to go directly for fear of trampling on the ground, but stepped forward and reached out to help Song Qian pull Ji Han up.
Chen Ke, on the other hand, lay directly on the ground and grabbed Ji Han's clothes.
But the Xiongnu leader also ran out of the tunnel and attacked the four people again.
Eggplant gritted his teeth and cursed:
"This grandson doesn't have any martial ethics, so he takes advantage of others' danger."
But the Xiongnu leader didn't care about this and punched Eggplant again.
Eggplant had no choice but to pull back his hands to defend himself, and his body slid back a few meters, which showed how strong the force was.
With the help of Chen Ke and Song Qian, Ji Han also climbed out.
The Xiongnu leader charged again, but this time before the two sides could fight, the Xiongnu leader, who was not heavy under his feet, directly trampled the nearby ground again.
Except for Eggplant, who had just been punched away, and Chen Ke, who was standing in the corner after La Jihan came up.
The remaining three people, Ji Han, Song Qian and the Xiongnu leader, all fell into the pit.
Eggplant had quick eyes and quick hands, and before it collapsed and fell, it swung its flying claws at the two of them.
Ji Han and Song Qian grabbed the flying claws and chains together and hit the wall to prevent them from falling.
Worried that one of them would be difficult to support, Chen Ke beside the wall also threw out his flying claws for Ji Han to catch, and leaned towards the eggplant.
The Xiongnu leader was not so lucky, and his body twisted and fell towards the crack in the black stone below.
Ji Han held Song Qian to steady his body, and then began to observe the situation below.
It turns out that underneath the cave is the absolutely black rock outside. There is a crack several meters wide on the rock. The other side of the crack may be connected to the large crack in the canyon outside.
Several thick white-lighting hyphae poked out from the cracks.
Ji Han felt that mycelium could no longer be used to describe them, because the thick and shiny mycelium stretched downward in the cracks, and there was no end in sight.
Just like the sacred tree that reaches the sky in myths and legends.
