I didn't want to waste all my efforts. I had escaped the fatal attack of the bat swarm, but Fan Tuan was in danger. I thought hard that before Wu Shengli's accident, my life could be said to be very normal, just like countless people of the same age. Even though what happened later
Some things are the result of many coincidences coming together.
After thinking about it, if there is any difference between me and others, then the only difference is that I have eaten the blood eggs of the phoenix.
"Pick him up." I don't want to waste any more time. No matter why I can resist toxins, I have to give it a try now.
Su Xiaomeng didn't know what I was going to do, but she had no idea at all. After hearing my words, she went to help Fan Tuan. I took out the dagger I carried with me and made a cut on my arm. Fan Tuan's mouth was closed tightly.
It took a lot of force to open a gap. I pointed the wound on my arm at Fan Tuan's mouth and let a drop of blood flow into his mouth. Su Xiaomeng helped and kneaded Fan Tuan's neck.
The blood eventually slowly entered Fan Tuan's abdominal cavity. After doing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still very uneasy. So far, there is only so much I can do. How about Fan Tuan, I have to leave it to fate.
However, I have made up my mind that no matter what, I will follow the direction of the giant phoenix to take a look. As time goes by, the numbness in my body gradually disappears, and by the time I am almost back to normal
When I was walking, I struggled to carry Fan Tuan on my back, and then crossed the narrow canyon little by little, and came to the entrance of the cave where the Phoenix disappeared.
As I expected, the scope of this underground space is very large, so large that it is immeasurable. Standing at the edge of the entrance and looking inside, everything is pitch black, and the light beam of the flashlight cannot reach the end. Su Xiaomeng and I ate
After grabbing something, Fan Tuan's body was too heavy. It took more than half an hour before he groaned twice as if he was dreaming.
It wasn't until he woke up that my heart hanging in my throat was completely relieved. After a life-threatening encounter, all three of us felt like we were surviving a disaster. We stayed here for a while to let Fan Tuan recover.
, and then, I followed my original idea to pursue the huge phoenix. In my impression, there seems to be an inseparable relationship between the phoenix and the beak inscription. I don’t know if it’s me.
It's an illusion, but that huge phoenix always makes me feel that it is a secret in itself.
Soon after walking in along the entrance of the cave, we could see that this might be a larger activity place for the Yuantu people. It was not a normal living area, but there were many and obvious man-made traces. They probably carried out some production and sacrifices here.
While moving, I saw two iron chains as thick as thighs, coiled on the ground, still rusty.
"The Yuantu people must be doing something very abnormal." When I saw the iron chain, my premonition became stronger. An iron ball as tall as a person and such a thick iron chain. This kind of product almost consumes Yuantu.
Most of the tribe's manpower and material resources.
We walked and searched all the way, but there were too many relics, and they were too big to take away. This space is a place with a relatively developed underground water system. I saw more than one river, and there were canoes upside down on the ground parked on the river bank.
There are also simple mechanical combinations built with logs and metal. If water power is used, these mechanical combinations may come into play and do things that are beyond the reach of human power.
There seems to be no limit in the vast underground space, and there is no end in sight. I don’t know how long it will take to walk. Near the thick and long iron cables, I saw several very clear gouge marks on the ground. The gouge marks were neat and smooth, maybe
It is half a meter wide and 40 to 50 centimeters deep. These chiseled marks are easily reminiscent of water channels. Fan Tuan said that the Yuantu people were diverting water.
But I thought about it and didn’t think so. Because the doubts in my heart became more and more serious. It was impossible for those iron balls cast by the Yuantu people to be useless. Obviously, the iron balls cast in the smelting field of the basin were ultimately useless.
It has been transported here. The terrain here is not very smooth. It is quite difficult to move such a large iron ball manually. Just imagine, if the iron ball is placed on these gouges, it can be pushed without much force.
They roll.
Thinking about it this way, I felt that the gouge marks were a special transportation channel. The Yuantu people must have used these gouge marks to transport the iron balls to where they were needed. In an instant, the gouge marks became obvious signs, guiding us to the right path.
Location. When you reach the end of these transportation roads, it will be clear what the purpose of those iron balls is.
"Let's eat something before we go." Fan Tuan is wide and fat, and he consumes a lot of energy when he is active. Su Xiaomeng and I have already eaten, but we have to take care of him. We found a place, and Fan Tuan started to work.
As long as a person like him doesn't die, he will never let his stomach suffer at any time. This guy lit a fire with solid fuel seriously, and then took out a small pot, bacon and radish from his big bag
Things like that were stewed in a pot. I felt it was too much trouble, so Fan Tuan said: "What happened just now tells us that people can pass at any time, and we must treat ourselves well if we can survive for a day."
Braised mutton and radish, when the pot is boiling, pour a little white wine around it, and the aroma immediately overflows. The three of us sat side by side, Fan Tuan took the pot from the fire, and Su Xiaomeng went to grab it. The two of us ate with oil flowing smoothly.
, I kept thinking about those iron balls and phoenixes. After a few minutes, a very strange feeling sprouted from the bottom of my heart.
Maybe it was a premonition, it felt like there was someone behind us.
My mind was spinning very fast. If there was someone in this place, my first reaction would be the unkempt and unknown person I met in the river before setting off. As soon as this feeling appeared, it happened in less than a tenth of a second.
It reached its peak within a short period of time. Fan Tuan and Su Xiaomeng were so confused that they didn't notice it at all. I suddenly turned my head and shined the flashlight in my hand at the same time.
At that moment, my scalp almost exploded.
I originally thought it would be the unkempt unknown person, but when I turned my head, I immediately saw a six or seven-year-old child squatting six or seven meters behind Fan Tuan in the strong light. The child was wet all over and his eyes were wet.
It was very big, probably because it had not seen the sun all year round. The cover was very white, and it just squatted behind Fan Tuan with its eyes open, making no sound.
That kind of situation is enough to scare people to death.
For a moment, I didn’t know how to deal with it. The child seemed to be very courageous. After being discovered by me, he didn’t even have any intention of running away. He was still squatting on the spot. Then, I noticed that although his eyes were big, they were very dull.
, the eyeballs turned white, almost blending into the whites of the eyes. Seeing this, I immediately judged that this child must have been staying underground and had never seen natural light, and his eyes had lost their proper function.
"Brother, eat some, it's very delicious..." Fan Tuan was holding the pot and eating happily. He turned his head and glanced at me. Maybe he found that something was wrong with my expression and eyes, so he followed it in confusion.
When I turned around in the direction I was looking, I immediately jumped up as if my tail had been stepped on by someone, and threw the pot out of my hand: "Fuck! What the hell!"
The remaining bacon in the pot spilled all over the floor. At this moment, the child's nose, which had been squatting quietly, suddenly twitched a few times, and he raised his hand to pick up the meat. When I saw this scene, I suddenly realized that it was probably Fan.
The aroma of the stewed meat attracted him.
No matter what, no matter who the other party is, if he appears at this time, it is necessary to investigate deeply. I dropped the things in my hands and turned around to pounce on him. The child was very greedy and had already seen me coming, but he still threw it away.
No bacon spilled on the floor.
In just such a moment of hesitation, I flew in front of him, reached out and grabbed one of his arms. The child's body was so cold that I could barely detect any warmth. Then I looked at his face, which was as white as a dead person.
, I suddenly felt frightened because I couldn’t confirm whether what I caught was a human being or some other “dirty thing”.
But he was very real, not an illusory shadow. When I caught him, Fan Tuan also woke up from the shock and ran over to help.
The child came out of nowhere. There was water all over his body. His arms were wet and his hair was still dripping with water. If you look closely, you can even see a layer of green and green moss-like growth on the surface of the skin.
It was a very slippery thing. It was not until I caught him that the child had no choice but to abandon the broth and meat pieces on the floor and struggled to break free.
Originally, with my weight and strength, as long as I caught him, it would be impossible for him to escape. But the green layer on the child's arm helped him a lot. The whole arm was like a greasy fish.
He broke free from my hand, turned around and ran away. I was completely unprepared and almost made my leader fall.
"Little girl, stop poking!" Fan Tuan yelled and rushed over. His body of more than 200 kilograms was thrown in the air. However, the speed and direction were miscalculated, and he failed to pounce on the child. He suddenly became solid.
After falling to the ground, Fan Tuan's face immediately turned green, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
But he was quite clever. Although he failed to pounce on the child, he grabbed the child's ankle. Immediately afterwards, Fan Tuan rolled on the spot and forcefully pressed the child under his body. The child was under Fan Tuan.
The fat patches on his body were struggling desperately, which looked very funny and weird, like a big fat man hugging a giant salamander tightly.
"Help!" Fan Tuan had a great advantage with his own weight. While pressing the child tightly, he turned around and said, "Come and help!"
I stepped over in two steps. Fan Tuan took out his hand and quickly took off his coat. He pulled the zipper and tied his sleeves into a tight knot, like a sack. He immediately pocketed the child tightly in his clothes.
