Chapter 868 Life Window Period
The old ginseng has a very high level of intelligence, probably not weaker than others, and is full of desire to survive. When Brother Yaozi mentioned giving it a way to survive, the eyes on the ginseng's body were bright, wishing for little stars to emerge, but Brother Yaozi had just
After mentioning the things related to this place, after the transformation finished, the old ginseng fell to the ground with a "gudong", and the transformed eyes, mouth and nose gradually faded away and disappeared as if the ice and snow were melting. I wonder if it was my imagination.
A light layer of pale color appeared on the ginseng body, which looked like dried ginseng.
I was stunned by this scene.
this……
This special girl is a real drama queen. At this critical moment, she still wants to do this for us?
"What a fool, if there is a way to heaven, you won't take it. If there is no door to hell, you have to break in!"
Lao Bai couldn't hold himself back and picked up the old ginseng from the ground. He didn't know whether he was really angry or he had been thinking about tasting the old ginseng for a long time. He pulled a strip from the old ginseng with a click.
Genxu, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, stuffed it into his mouth and just chewed it twice. His whole body was agitated. He covered his throat and shouted: "Hot, hot, hot..."
As ghosts cried and wolves howled, nosebleeds rolled down like broken beads.
This time, Lao Shen didn't complain of pain anymore, and complained that her leg was broken. She just lay on the ground motionless.
Lao Bai calmed down a little, and when he saw the weird looks in our eyes, he knew that his petty little thoughts had nowhere to hide. For a moment, his face became a little uneasy, and he blocked his nose that was still spurting blood with one hand.
, grabbed Lao Shen with one hand, and sneered: "Do you really think you'll be fine just by pretending to be dead? Or because you have a kite, you think we don't dare to stew you, so we put on a knife-like appearance.
Can you pass the test with just your posture? Let me tell you, no way! Even if a grasshopper jumps over my palm, I still have to squeeze out two ounces of oil for it, let alone a baby like you, you
Isn’t it true that love draws nourishment from people? Well, I’ll satisfy you and open a beauty shop in Taiyuan later. I’m afraid you really don’t know what horrific atrocities women today can do to you in order to lose weight. Don’t even think about it in this life.
"Detachment, if you don't believe me, try it. Do you like to drink oil? It won't kill you!"
Old Ginseng remained motionless.
I saw that Lao Bai was talking nonsense again, so I dragged him aside. At this time, I no longer looked at this Lao Ginseng with the mentality of watching a drama. This guy is not the King of Changbai Mountain Ginseng. If he is really a person, his character
I guess it's on par with Lao Bai. You don't have to expect this kind of thing to have any special attachment to this place. To make it willing to bet on whether we dare to kill it rather than reveal it can only mean...
For it, there is something more terrifying than us.
After pondering for a while, I squatted down in front of Lao Shen and said expressionlessly: "If I guessed correctly, you are not the spiritual treasure bred by the real heaven and earth at all, right? Lao Shen has become a spirit, and so on.
Although it is rare, it is not unheard of. As far as I know, there seems to be no old ginseng spirit that is as evil as you, drawing nutrients from flesh and blood. This should be the reason why you have grown to this point.
Predatory growth...this should be the specific thing this place gives you.
As for you, the fact that you are still stuck in this place after reaching this point is not because you like it here, but... you can't leave at all, right?
What if, I say if, as long as you help us, we will not only spare your life, but also take you out of here?"
The old ginseng who had been pretending to be dead finally made some movement, a few roots twitched a few times, and then his eyes, mouth and nose reappeared, and his eyeballs rolled around, as if he was looking at us one by one. After a while,
, it shook its head and said: "The hope is very slim. If you want to take me out, you must completely clear this place. Otherwise, as long as I leave here, everything I get from here will be taken back the moment I step out. I will
It becomes... well, really air-dried, and will float away when the wind blows...
But it will be difficult for you guys to demolish this place!"
Immediately, the guy shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I can't tell you anymore. Besides, I will be heard. I can't bet on you. The chance of winning is too small."
It is indeed a killing game!
This result is not surprising.
After talking with the old herbal collector, I was prepared for this, and naturally I would not feel panic. The game is all set by people, and the game is broken by people. Winning or losing just depends on the level of means.
He smiled and asked: "Then do you think we can still go out now?"
Although I was smiling, due to my mentality, there was no smile in my eyes, only darkness and coldness.
Lao Shen didn't dare to continue talking to us, and was about to continue cooking the meat with the hob to the end, but he was stared at by me until he was so scared that he said uncomfortably: "Maybe... I'm afraid... I can't get out, right?
Well, I have been listening to you. I know what you are going to do. The person you are looking for... he is the owner of this place! At that time... I was still very young and only left some vague memories.
A long, long time ago, at that time, this place was not like this. Something exactly like it once came here, and many people were worshiping that thing..."
The person Lao Shen was talking about should undoubtedly be Xing Wei, but he used that thing to describe it. In other words... after Xing Wei arrived here, he restored the original appearance of the Yumin?
I don’t think Lao Shen can see Xing Wei’s true face. Yumin is the best at disguising among the old monsters. Basically, he can’t tell any clues even with his yin and yang eyes. If we can’t, this Lao Shen shouldn’t be able to either.
It seems that restoring Xing Wei's true colors will help him settle here.
In addition, what Lao Shen said a long time ago...
I couldn't help but have a thought in my mind - could it be that this is the ancestral land of the Feather People?! Just like the ruins of the thirty-six overseas countries we have explored, this is a similar place?
The more I think about it...the more I think it is possible!!
Lao Shen secretly observed me for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Um...can I go? There's really only so much I can say..."
I interrupted my thoughts and forced a smile on my face: "What do you think? Just like we said we would try not to kill you, you said it yourself this time. There is a high probability that we will not be able to leave, and it is very difficult to win.
Slim…”
Lao Shen was about to bounce up from the ground immediately, but with his quick hands and eyes, he stepped on it with one foot.
Seeing me pinching my fingers again, the roots all over Lao Shen's body stood up, as if raising his hands in surrender, and said repeatedly: "Okay, I admit defeat! Instead of dying now, I might as well take a gamble with you, at least I will still have something to lose."
A ray of hope!”
I shook my head slightly. I would never have thought to myself that there would be a day in my life where I would be hurting each other with a ginseng. I curled my lips and said, "Now, can we talk?"
Lao Shen shook his head, rolled his eyes and glanced at me, lowered his head and said: "Now I understand that you are the most ruthless of these people. They are also ruthless, but they have a bottom line, and you... have no bottom line, force me
If you're in a hurry, you can do anything!"
Shaking the roots, he spread his hands as if helpless, and then Lao Shen said: "This place... is alive! To be precise, the forest in front of it is alive, and everything here is monitored by it.
Stay!"
We looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Immediately, Brother Yaozi asked: "You mean, every tree in the forest has become a spirit?"
Lao Shen said: "Not every tree has become a spirit, but... they are a whole. At one time, there were no woods at all there, but suddenly one day, woods grew up overnight, and there were towering ancient trees everywhere.
, some roots spread far and wide.
On that day, the dying animals and people all around will come here involuntarily.
That is to say, from that day on, those dead people and animals will be absorbed as nutrients, and then... there will be some feedback to us, everything here
Herbal medicines, including mine, are grown from the corpses of dead animals and dead people!!”
Zhang Xinya poked me and asked in a low voice: "What kind of monster is this? I've never even heard of it..."
It’s just that she hasn’t heard of it, but I’ve heard of it?
Looking at Brother Yaozi and the others, they all had the same expressions, only confusion and horror remained.
Lao Shen immediately said: "I have never seen it, but I can feel it. It really exists. I can sometimes hear its heartbeat. It is sleeping underground. When the person you are looking for comes,
Sometimes, I can even feel its joy...
It is everywhere and dominates everything here!!"
After a moment of silence, I said: "It definitely did not appear by chance. Whether it is a miraculous way of appearing or this weird way of existence, it should be caused by some kind of evil magic that we don't know about. Only those big
Only a bloody sorcery on a large scale can produce such a horrifying thing!"
I looked at Lao Shen and asked, "Did anything happen here before this thing appeared?"
"Well……"
Lao Shen fell into memories, and after a long time, he said: "I was still very young at that time, and I only had some vague memories. In fact, they were not memories, but... some scenes from the past that I traced back to after I became wise, so I
Not sure if it works...
At that time, there were actually people here. Due to environmental reasons, there were many herbal medicines here at that time. Many herbal collectors would come here. Some herbs grew on the cliffs on both sides. I remember too many people fell to their deaths after slipping.
Here it is.
And then, yes, someone built a tall stone temple right inside!
Then things became different here.”
As Lao Shen said, all it remembers are incomplete pictures and very little useful information.
However, relying on my intuition in the Taoist profession, I still captured some key points after it raised these points: "Temple...it seems that this thing appears here, and it is very possible that there is something hidden there."
The secret of the Feather People! Well, that temple is the key to solving this problem! The things cultivated by this kind of evil magic are like centipede insects, dead but not stiff. If you want to solve it, you still have to resolve it from the root!"
Brother Yaozi also asked: "Is that temple still there?"
"exist!!"
Lao Shen immediately said: "But it is in the deepest part and has to go through the woods, which is very dangerous...
If you must do it.
afternoon!
The time when the sun sets is your only chance. The time is very short. If you can get through, you will pass. If you can't get through, you may have to stay here forever.
Don't ask me why, because I don't know why. I only know that during that period of time every day, its heartbeat will be very weak, and its strength should also become weaker. As for what you will encounter in the woods at that time
I don't know what I got, I never dared to go deep there, but... that time is probably the safest time in the forest."
Then, Lao Shenba paddled for a long time, and we gradually came to understand that using our time, it would be about two hours.
In the two hours after the sun sets, we have to get rid of all the entanglements and walk through the woods!!

(In the past two days, I have attended an offline exchange party in the Himalayas in Hangzhou. I have been very busy and gained a lot, but I also socialized a lot. It is inevitable to get drunk. I am extremely sorry for the interruption. I bow to everyone here. There may not be many updates in the past two days.
