People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 317 Red Mist
Everyone has to admit that what Ding Sitian said makes sense.

But there are also some points that are difficult to explain. Let’s not mention the plants, but as far as animals are concerned, whether it’s eagle owls or tree lizards, what they encounter are all regular sizes. Makes sense.

In view of these factors, Chen Ziyan shook his head: "Although there is some truth to this statement, it cannot be used to draw conclusions."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were dumbfounded when the three of you talked about each other. Hu Bayi was a bit better. Triumph is completely at a loss.

So the fat man, who was confused by what he heard, took this opportunity to decisively stop: "Why don't we study this issue later, let's study the matter in front of us now."

Chen Ziyan also felt that it was time to stop this topic, otherwise there would be no results until tomorrow, so he also said:

"The fat man is right, let's talk about the matter in front of us first."

Seeing this, Hu Bayi also answered: "Yes, the most urgent thing now is the way ahead. It is now confirmed that this mountain god probably exists, but the cognition of the ancients is very different from ours, so it is still very difficult to determine what it is. Difficult, now we can only make a preliminary analysis."

He didn't mention Shirley Yang's method again, because he knew very well in his heart that it would be unrealistic to completely reproduce the method used by Li Yiren in the relief.

Chen Ziyan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Old Hu, do you think that mountain god is anthropomorphic or humanoid?"

Anthropomorphism is a non-humanoid creature that has been shaped into a human form by extracting features, while a humanoid is a creature with a humanoid body.

"Be human."

Hu Bayi thought for a while, and said: "From what I see, this mountain god is most likely a thousand-year-old zombie king. Think about it, the black face has bristles, and the face is lifeless. No matter how you look at it, it matches the zombie."

"According to the description in the relief just now, the Yi people sent those big toads into the cave, but they were not eaten whole, but were sucked into the blood and turned into dried toads. This eating method is also very suitable for zombies. Habit."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, glanced at the golden mask in Chen Ziyan's hand, and then continued: "As for the way the barbarians passed, I don't think it would be as simple as just feeding the other party. There are secrets we have yet to learn."

He actually wanted to say that the golden mask might be a treasure to suppress corpses and ward off evil spirits, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it. It's better to have evidence for such an unfounded guess.

When Wang Kaixuan heard Hu Bayi say that the mountain god might be a fine old zombie, he couldn't help feeling a little weak, so he forced himself to say calmly:

"As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. This old zongzi has lived here for so long, and I have never seen him go out to do anything illegal. He is probably a good citizen in the zongzi. If you want me to say, there is no need for us to If you can't get along with them, let's just catch a few big toads as a meeting gift later, we're new here and follow the rules, we won't suffer."

After finishing speaking, this guy may feel that the words are a bit soft, so he added: "Of course, we can't be tough with our skills, but it's unnecessary, it's a matter of giving each other face."

Although these words are high-sounding, but no one knows what this guy means.

But as soon as Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, Shirley Yang said: "I don't think this mountain god may be a zombie. There have been rumors about zombies since ancient times. Even the barbarians in the frontier shouldn't regard him as a mountain god."

There is nothing wrong with this, except for some special clans, generally speaking, few people would enshrine corpses as gods.

But if Shirley Yang said so, it almost completely overturned Hu Bayi's guess.

Ding Sitian took the initiative to answer after hearing the words: "If the possibility of zombies is ruled out for the time being, it is very likely to be some kind of humanoid creature."

Hu Bayi went on to say: "It is very possible to be human-like, but it is still unknown. If you want me to say, just go and have a look. If it is really impossible, just come back and catch toads."

Although he wasn't annoyed by Shirley Yang's veto, he was still somewhat upset, so he didn't want to guess again.

What is the situation, you will know if you see it with your own eyes.

Wang Kaixuan was very supportive of this, and immediately followed up and said: "Yes, that's the way it should be. Whatever he is, he has no right to speak without seeing it."

Chen Ziyan looked around at the crowd, and brought the topic back to the beginning: "Then go and have a look, have you figured out how to get there?"

The topic has deviated too far from the main body, and it is time to get back on track.

Hu Bayi was the first to express his opinion: "I think it is more appropriate to walk on this fossil tree. Slowing down is not a hindrance, but if there is enough room for maneuvering, it will be a great advantage."

This was the reason he had thought up just now, but he was distracted by the matter of the mountain god, so he didn't say it.

After thinking about it, the others felt that this was a good reason. The waterway returned quickly, but the scope of action was limited to the boat, which was far less spacious and flexible than the fossil tree.

Especially in times of danger, the gap between the two will be even greater.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Ziyan said directly: "In this case, let's walk on the fossil tree."

He can do both, and the difference between the two is actually not that big to him.

After that, the few people simply packed up their things, mainly the hovercraft below, and then started to move forward on the fossil trees hanging above the water.

Although many of these fossil trees are connected together, there are occasional gaps, but these gaps can be crossed, which is not an obstacle that is difficult to overcome.

After continuing to advance for more than a hundred meters, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized that the surrounding mountain walls began to shrink.

He calculated silently in his heart, and found that he and others should have arrived at the central interface of the calabash cave by this time.

The roots of plants extending from the roof of the cave here are gradually scarce, which makes the air less humid and hot than before.

Soon, Chen Ziyan saw the junction of the two caves, but there were no fossil trees for them to settle down, and in the end, the distance of more than ten meters could only be waded.

After arriving at the joint in the center of the calabash cave, Chen Ziyan found that the water level here was just parallel to the bottom of the narrow cave in front of him.

Moreover, the gourd cave is in a downward sloping posture, which also causes a drop in the water here after flowing through it, forming a waterfall with a small water flow on the other side.

Not paying too much attention to this small waterfall, Chen Ziyan grabbed the entrance of the cave with one hand and looked inside.

With the help of the flashlight, he found that the slope inside was very steep, and the mountain wall was still in an arc that could not be used by force, which led them to use ropes to descend if they wanted to pass.

Fortunately, they all carry the required tools, so it saves a lot of trouble.

Without too much hesitation, Chen Ziyan immediately explained the situation on the other side, and then began to call for other people to arrange downhill locks.

After installing the fixed rock wedge and climbing rope, several people slid down the rope one after another.

In the process of falling, Chen Ziyan did not forget to look around, but it was so quiet here that there seemed to be no sign of life at all, like a still dark world.

Compared with the cave they just left, it is like two worlds with completely different life and death.

When Chen Ziyan looked down and found that the flashlight was blocked and couldn't shine too far, he threw a cold fireworks directly down.

He had a hunch that it was not long before landing, so he had to be clear about the situation below.

With the fall of the cold smoke and fire, the cold light completely shone down below, allowing Chen Ziyan to really see the situation below him clearly.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a secluded tan, followed by a large piece of wet superimposed rock.

After a few people landed smoothly, they each held their weapons and moved along the superimposed rocks on the edge of the cave.

After walking tens of meters cautiously like this, a figure with a cold halo suddenly appeared on the water in front of him.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan hurriedly waved to the people behind him, and they immediately turned off the light source knowingly, and then hid behind the nearby rocks.

But the faintly fluorescent figure fluctuated in the water, but never came towards them.

Hu Ba must take a look, and then said to Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, this seems to be the kind of female corpse from before."

Although in such an environment, without a light source, their vision has greatly deteriorated, but the fluorescence that comes with this figure outlines its own outline.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "Well, it should be."

This point is not too biased, if it is not really clear, he would not even say the word 'should'.

Wang Kaixuan took a look around, and then said: "I think this is probably a single person, let's just rush over later and forget it, if this guy doesn't come out, it's fine, I really dare to block the way, the fat man just unloaded it!" Eight dollars!"

Seeing just such a corpse, Wang Kaixuan's courage grew instantly.

But before he finished speaking, he saw several female corpses slowly appear beside the corpse in front of him.

Because of the posture of these female corpses, the silhouette of the body is more clear. They are all in an awkward posture with their backs facing upwards and their arms and legs bent downwards.

The appearance of these female corpses seemed to be a signal. Under the gaze of Chen Ziyan and the others, within a few minutes, the pool in front of them was already full of female corpses, and even behind them, it was hard to count the specifics. If you think about it, there must be hundreds if not thousands.

With so many fluorescent corpses gathered together, the ghostly light directly illuminated the entire cave.

However, this kind of light is not warm at all. Instead, it makes people tremble uncontrollably as if they have fallen into a freezing hell.

After observing for a while, Shirley Yang said in a low voice: "These corpses are indeed the ones we saw before, but there are more of them this time. It seems that they are gathering for a certain purpose, not for us. of."

Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement: "There are so many that they don't seem to be moving, but in fact, if you calm down and look at them, you can find that they are actually moving towards the deep water all the time."

Then he continued: "Let's wait here and see the purpose of these things."

He knew very well why these female corpses came here, and he naturally knew what to do now is more appropriate.

Although the others were curious, they also knew that Chen Ziyan's decision was right, and it was the best choice at such a time to wait and see what happened.

The female corpses in the pool slowly floated forward, and with the fluorescent light on their bodies, a group of red clouds soon appeared in the sight of several people.

The red cloud and mist connected to the water surface, silently engulfing corpses one after another.

With the help of the light gathered by the corpses, it can be seen that this thick red cloud is like brightly colored paint, making it impossible to see the situation inside. It has been continuously absorbing the floating corpses, as if there is a bottomless pit inside. Same.

"This red mist should be the poisonous gas recorded on the altar, but I didn't expect it to have such a bright color." Chen Ziyan said quietly after observing for a while.

The scene in front of me coincides with the content of the previous relief on the altar, the difference is that the giant toad is replaced by a floating corpse.

Shirley Yang said next to her: "The color of poison in this world is often directly proportional to its toxicity. The more bright red, emerald green and colorful things are, the more violent the toxicity is. How toxic it is, but just by looking at the color, it is absolutely extraordinary."

She felt that if she hadn't waited for someone to put on the mask in advance, she would have been hit by the trick long ago.

Hu Bayi is concerned about another aspect: "If the red mist in front of me is really the one recorded on the altar, it means that the so-called mountain god is inside."

He vaguely saw a figure swaying in the fog, but it was only a glimpse, and he couldn't see it very clearly.

But his intuition told him that it should be the so-called mountain god.

Wang Kaixuan answered with a bit of aversion: "Then this mountain god is really evil, don't care what kind of thing he is, but if he eats like this, how many corpses of girls will be harmed by him!"

The commonality of human beings made him instinctively loathe this cannibal species, even for corpses.

Ding Sitian has been observing the surrounding situation since she came down, and at this moment she suddenly said: "No matter what is in this fog, as long as there is this poisonous fog, we can do nothing to each other, why not take this opportunity to find the exit first. "

She thought it would be a good choice to sneak out quietly while the creatures in the fog were eating.

Anyway, no matter what kind of mountain spirit and water monster this mountain god is, he is trapped in this gourd cave and cannot get out, so there is no need to waste energy to pay attention to it.

Past experience told her that when encountering such restricted things, avoiding the edge is the best choice.
