Chapter 60: A Strange Encounter in the Forest of Steles
But at this time, I saw the look of expectation on their faces, so I kept a cautious eye and said, "You are asking blind people about this matter. I don't know anything, and the old man didn't tell me anything."
After I finished speaking, I felt that it was not convincing enough, so I faced the monkey. "Monkey, tell me, you should know how tight the old guy's mouth is. Do you think he might tell me these things?"
The monkey thought for a while and shook his head: "Indeed, the old man is like a tiger's belly. It can only go in and out. It is really difficult to get something out of his mouth."
Hearing what the two of us said, the three fat men all looked disappointed. I didn't want to continue discussing this issue, so I asked them: "How did you get here after we separated? I have suffered a lot.
"After that, I told what happened to me.
Monkey first told what he and Shuiyue had experienced. At that time, I had been dragged into the cave by the hozen. They both saw it at that time, but they didn't know that I was dragged in on purpose. When they found out that I was in danger, they both
Became anxious.
Shuiyue came here first, and she was more worried about my personal safety. Regarding this, Monkey explained to me that it was not that he didn't care about me, but that he was not as fast as Shuiyue. I guess he was carrying that copper bump on his body, so
He just couldn't catch up. He definitely belongs to the type who wants money rather than his life.
At this point, I interrupted and found that the copper bump on the monkey's body was gone. I asked him, but saw him sighing with a depressed look on his face and said, "Don't mention it, I'm unlucky.
When we got home, the monkey took away all the fat in our mouth."
It turns out that this matter has something to do with me. At that time, Shuiyue was only focused on saving me and climbed towards the tree hole alone. As a result, the big hozen suffered a lot at Shuiyue's hands and did not dare to chase her anymore.
Together with two others, they surrounded the monkey.
The monkeys were already stretched to cope with two of them, and now a more ruthless one came over, and they couldn't bear it anymore. The copper bump on their back was scratched off by a hozen.
Immediately the monkey became red-eyed. That thing was priceless, and he was holding it as if it were his life. As soon as his mind became hot, he immediately took out a detonator from the package, lit it, and threw it. As a result, the detonator naturally fell down.
, eventually causing a landslide.
Only now do I understand why those rotten trees suddenly collapsed. It turned out to be because of the good deeds of monkeys.
At that time, in that situation, no one could care about the other, and I was completely isolated from them. When I fell, they also fell. It’s just that they were not as lucky as me and were thrown directly.
On the tree trunk, if Shuiyue hadn't hooked a tree hole with his talons at the critical moment, their end would have been miserable.
They came down from the outside of the giant ghost locust tree like me, but I came down from the branches, and they climbed directly from the rock wall outside, so I had to stop when I reached a place without branches.
And they climbed right to the bottom.
The scene below is completely different from what I saw. The roots of the giant ghost locust tree appear to be very flat, and the crisscrossing roots cannot be seen, but they are filled with large and small stone tablets. The tallest stone tablets are nearly
Five meters in length, and the shortest one is only a few dozen centimeters. They are all carved from pitch-black rock. Some are covered with inscriptions, while others are completely blank.
They didn't know much about those inscriptions, but Shuiyue said that they repeatedly mentioned the name "豕hydroxy国" and the words "天神".
I have never heard of the "Bohun Country". It may have been a small country at that time, or even just a stronger tribe. As for the "God of Heaven", it reminds me of many things, especially after seeing the huge long-haired man.
Behind the three-headed and six-armed shadow.
Are there really people with three heads and six arms in the world? I have asked myself countless times in my mind, but the answer I got is still not sure. However, I feel that the "god" on the inscription is most likely that kind of thing, but
I don’t know the specific meaning of its existence. Is it an object of spiritual worship? Or is it a real leader? If it is the latter, it would be incredible.
The forest of steles seemed chaotic, but it actually hid mysteries. It was like a maze. They wandered around for a long time but could not find the way out. Finally, they discovered something strange on a relatively huge stone monument. That stone monument looked different in color.
It is shallower and much smoother than ordinary stone tablets, much like a tombstone.
The two briefly discussed it and decided to dig it up and take a look. When they dug to a depth of just over one meter, they saw a sarcophagus.
This sarcophagus is very strange. The entire body is carved out of dark gray rock, with some reliefs carved on it. There is a huge human face on the lid of the coffin, covering the entire head of the coffin like a mask.
When they opened the coffin lid, they were stunned. There were no bones inside, but a piece of purple-red human skin. The human skin was in very good condition, but it looked like dry bark on the face.
It was also covered with a bronze mask, and its eyes were so hollow that it was very chilling.
"Mom, what the hell is this? Why is there a human skin in this coffin?" Monkey couldn't help shouting. After saying that, he rolled his eyes and turned to look at Shuiyue: "Sister-in-law Hu,
Lend me your dagger, and I'll see if there's anything hidden in the skin."
Although they didn't get along for long, Shuiyue basically understood his nature. Knowing that he was greedy again, she handed the dagger to him without saying anything.
The monkey used a dagger to cut open the human skin, and he actually made some discoveries. The human skin was stuffed with something, including a piece of paper made of animal skin, with some weird symbols and lines carved on it.
, it looks like a painting and recording something.
From their feeling, they knew that this animal skin paper must be a very important thing. But just when they were about to put it away, a monster with black mucus and green hair suddenly came over and snatched it away.
They held the animal skin paper in their hands, then jumped into the coffin, picked up the human skin inside and ran away.
The two people who were unprepared were shocked. Fortunately, the monster did not attack anyone, otherwise they would probably suffer a big loss.
Without much hesitation, they chased after the monster. Although the monster was very ugly and ferocious, it just ran for its life and did not attack anyone. So their courage gradually became bigger. The monkeys chased and stabbed the monster with daggers, several times.
It was stabbed every time, but more mucus flowed out from the stung area, but the monster didn't feel it at all and still ran forward quickly.
Finally, Shuiyue took out her eagle claw, shook her hand, and just caught the monster's head.
What happened next was a bit scary. With Shuiyue's strong pull, the monster's head fell completely from its body, but its body still ran forward quickly. After running a few steps, it fell to the ground with its hands and feet.
Use both hands to crawl forward.
Both of them were stunned. They were able to run away so fast without their heads. It was terrifying to think about it. But they didn't stop either. No matter how evil it was, as long as it didn't hurt people, it was nothing good.
Scared.
Not long after chasing, they suddenly found that they had walked out of the Forest of Steles, and they couldn't help but feel overjoyed. At this time, the monster had arrived in front of a stone wall, and his figure flashed and got into a stone cave.
The two of them dived in without thinking. There were many forks inside, but the monster left some black mucus wherever it walked, and they didn't lose it along the way.
For nearly an hour, they chased to an open place, where they met Ashue and Fatty. The team of two people turned into four people, and they did not stop until they encountered a small lake. The monster
It has disappeared into the lake, and that small lake is the sacred lake.
After listening to their experiences, I suddenly understood something. The green-haired monster must be the one I was chasing before, but I chose to enter the bronze door at that time. When I came up from the lake,
They had just chased me to the lake not long ago, so they were able to find me so quickly. This was a complete coincidence, but it was because of this coincidence that I could stand here safely now.
But why did the monster care so much about the animal skin paper? And where did it go when it got into the lake? I suddenly remembered the giant bronze door I saw in the lake. Could it be that the monster entered the giant bronze door?
Is the door open? I consciously told me that there must be something hidden there, but I may never have the chance to know it again.
After listening to Shuiyue and Monkey's experiences, Fatty told what happened to him and Axue, which was equally exciting. The route they took was roughly the same as ours, and they also entered the inside of the giant ghost locust tree.
, but what aroused my interest the most was that they actually encountered the wooden palace floating in the air inside.
In fact, it is not floating in the air, but is built on the top of the tree. The surrounding and top are fixed with transparent crystal stones, so it looks like it is floating.
There is not much to talk about in the past, only some experiences in that wooden palace are interesting to talk about.
At that time, they were shocked when they saw the wooden palace. At that time, they had not discovered those transparent crystals and thought that the palace was really floating. This was so incredible to people.
When they encountered such a place, they naturally wanted to go and check it out. In fact, at that time, they all thought that this wooden palace was the ultimate secret here, and they were a little excited, but how to get there became a problem.
Their ropes had all been lost, and the palace was nearly ten meters away from them. It was impossible to survive with bare hands, at least that's what they thought at the time.
