The giant bird failed to make a single blow, and quickly vacated, wanting to attack again.
Dong Linhai carried Wang Que on his back, Allen supported Lin Hangzhi, Dong Zheng embraced the exhausted Victor, and the Wonton Splitter team ran towards the nearest boulder and hid behind.
The wind was very strong, and Dong Zheng put one hand on Cui Zuojing's head and protected him in his arms. The teenager completely regarded this as the deep brotherhood between his teammates, and didn't think much about how ambiguous this posture is now.
The dog was not damaged by the lesions on the organs, and the bear with the seamed heart could not be treated. Victor reluctantly stretched out his claws and put it on the back of her hand, using purification to ease the pain of her shock.
Wang Que escaped.
"I'm fine." She whispered, "Uncle, take a good rest."
Realizing that these abominable invaders could no longer be driven away, the giant bird called out unwillingly. After circling for a while, it finally flew towards the top of the mountain before the sun set and left.
Cui Zuojing walked out from behind the boulder. There were only some low shrubs and herbs growing at the bottom of the canyon, and there were large and small rubble. He took out the Tang Dao and saw that the blade had been broken into a small Mouth, hissed in distress.
Being able to persist in his hands for so long, until now, has not been damaged, the quality of Tang Daozhangyue is self-evident.
In the next area, you will have to find a better weapon manufacturer to repair it. Cui Zuojing thought silently.
The bottom of the sun had already touched the sea level, and it would be dark in fifteen minutes at the most, and they hastened to speed up the canyon.
A bird with a long neck flew overhead, and its size was so friendly that it made people want to cry compared to the antlers and the terrifying giants just now.
Cui Zuojing: "Follow it?"
Dong Zheng nodded, and everyone trotted behind the bird. The bird seemed to be in a hurry and didn't notice that there were so many stalkers behind.
As it progresses, the canyon gradually narrows, and the mountains on both sides are in the shape of an inverted trumpet. There is only a line left at the top, and it is difficult for the dim sky to shine in.
It was not very good to go, and everyone had to slow down.
At this time, Dong Zheng suddenly felt an unusual data fluctuation, he reached out his hand to stop Cui Zuojing, and said in a low voice, "Something's wrong."
Cui Zuojing didn't notice it at all. It stands to reason that with the instinct he has struggled with over the years, it is impossible to be unaware before the real danger comes.
But he still chose to believe in Dong Zheng, and vigilantly held the knife in front of him, preparing for a possible crisis.
A minute passed and nothing happened.
Even Dong Zheng himself began to wonder if he was hallucinating because of excessive tension. He was about to speak, but the mountain wall not far in front of him made a loud noise, and then he was smashed into a huge hole!
The dust was flying, and everyone raised their arms to cover their heads and faces in the splash of gravel, and turned sideways to avoid them. The bull with four hooves in the air didn't have time to relieve the momentum, and slammed into the opposite mountain wall, causing the ground under their feet to tremble!
The bull shook his head furiously, and the two horns were so sharp that they could stab a person into a sieve. Only then did Cui Zuojing realize that there was a person lying on the back of the bull!
The man with blond hair and gray eyes grabbed the right horn of the bull with one hand, and held the hair on the side of the bull's neck with the other hand.
Seeing that the bull couldn't get rid of this man, he rolled to the ground on one side, intending to crush Domingo to death!
Just before he fell to the ground, the man let go with a frightening reaction speed. He pulled out a silver crossbow arrow from the quiver at his waist and put it on the bull's neck, and he rolled to the ground.
The arrow only pierced a shallow head, and the slight pain did not attract the attention of the furious bull. The bull rolled hard, and the arrow was hit by the ground and pierced directly into the bull's neck!
Blood gushed out from the thin blood groove on the arrow.
Rao suffered such a fatal injury, the bull still turned over and stood up, roaring and bowing his head towards Domingo, the horns were facing him!
Domingo was half-kneeling on the ground, his hair and clothes were covered with grass blades and dust. He took off the crossbow from his waist and quickly took the arrow and wound it. His movements were not messy at all, he didn't even look at the target, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
The crossbow shot accurately into the bull's left eye, in the middle of the pupil.
The arrow pierced the bull's eyes, brain and brain stem, and instantly took its life. Its legs froze suddenly, but the momentum of its huge body could not stop, and it fell forward, causing a cloud of dust. .
Falling down at Domingo's feet.
Not far from the crowd watching the whole process: =mouth=!
On the boat, because of the need for filming, they also had a little plain contact with Domingo. In their impression, although this man was tall, his behavior was very gentle, and he was not at all like a battle with such a high level of force or violence. unit.
Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing were also surprised. In their opinion, the power cabin just showed that Domingo's arrows were very good. At that time, he did not directly face the gluttonous beast. It was more like a surprise attack to kill it. .
Facts have proved that people can not be seen.
Domingo pulled two arrows out of the still twitching bull, took a cloth from his pocket, wiped the brains and blood from them, and put them back into his quiver.
He raised his eyes and finally looked at the people on the other side, his eyes stayed on Dong Zheng's face for a moment, and then fixed on Cui Zuojing.
So far, Cui Zuojing has a good impression of this person, so he took the lead and took a step forward and greeted: "What a coincidence, I met here."
Domingo patted off the floating soil on his body, nodded and said, "It's quite a coincidence."
Cui Zuojing walked to the corpse of the bull and saw that it was incomparably majestic, with different hooves, two horns circling with strange lines, raised his eyebrows and said, "This bull—"
Domingo: "The bull of the sky, the legendary symbol of famine."
Allen turned to a certain page of the book and said, "Ah yes, it's called Gugalanna, and we need one of its hooves... By the way, brother, you don't know about the book, right? We need to follow the instructions above to collect relevant information Items are fine, if you don't mind, give us a cow's foot?"
Allen thought he was speaking in English for the sake of communication, but Domingo said in Chinese: "Please."
Allen: "You can speak Chinese too. It's even more standard than me. Why do I feel that the whole world can speak Chinese?"
Domingo smiled lightly. He looked at Alan beaming over, with quite heavy and complicated emotions surging in his gray eyes, which seemed to be... a kind of nostalgia
Cui Zuojing slowly narrowed his eyes.
Allen ran to the bull's body, which was still a little angry, and beckoned to Cui Zuojing, "Cui Er, come and cut its hooves."
Cui Zuojing chopped off the bull's left front hoof with a knife. Allen put it away and made a mark on the book.
Alan: "There are still six or seven things missing, um... It seems that there are so many that are not easy to handle."
At this time, Dong Zheng suddenly said: "De quéciudad eres?" (Where is your home?)
Domingo glanced at him and immediately replied: "Madrid." (Madrid)
"No se oye nada de lo que dices en chino." (You can't hear Chinese accents at all)
Domingo nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
The others were confused by their conversation.
Dong Zheng suspected that Domingo was not Spanish at all, so he casually said a test in Spanish. Domingo answered very fluently, and it seemed that he really knew Spanish.
The rest of Dong Zheng is not very good. The things he has learned in college have not been used for many years, and he has almost forgotten them, so he can only put his doubts aside for the time being.
"How did you get here?" Cui Zuojing asked. They landed from the southeast and crossed the entire island to the canyon in order to collect materials. What did Domingo do
"Follow it." Domingo pointed to a long-necked bird flying through the sky, his face returned to his usual calm, "There is something wrong with this thing."
Everyone heard the words and looked up. Cui Zuojing crossed his chest with his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said, "So you followed the bird along the way? The speed is fast enough."
Cui Zuojing still had some doubts about him between the lines, but Domingo didn't seem to mind at all, and continued: "These birds will return to their nests in the evening, this place is full of strange creatures, maybe you can find them What clue."
Dong Zheng: "Then let's go and have a look."
The bird flew forward along the canyon. It was not too fast, but it was still a little difficult for everyone walking on the ground to catch up.
The sun was about to set soon, and the last light of the sky shrouded everything in darkness. They chased after them, and after passing through a distance of several kilometers, they saw the dark tombs in front of them.
Countless tomb bags were scattered in a relatively open space in front of them. Crosses were inserted crookedly on the tombs, and many others were already incomplete.
The long-necked bird they were chasing landed on one of the crosses, retracted its wings, and turned to look around.
Everyone suddenly realized that the bird had a human face on its neck.
Dong Linhai couldn't help but whispered: "What the hell, tomb robbery notes? This is the Genting Tiangong we are going to enter?"
The human-faced bird raised its head and raised its head towards the sky and let out two weeping howls, and then slowly disappeared.
More and more birds are coming from far away, much faster, as if rushing home before dark.
Everyone hid behind a bulge on the mountain wall. Cui Zuojing looked at it for a while, then turned to Domingo and said, "You know what this thing is."
Domingo: "They are called 'ba', which first appeared in ancient Egyptian mythology, referring to spiritual power, that is, the soul in every human being. After a person dies and is made into a mummy in a normal way, Ba Qingchen will follow the sun and leave the cemetery. , foraging in the woods, and returning to the flesh at sunset."
More and more birds returned to the cemetery, each on a certain cross, weeping at the sun that had set at sea level, and then returned to their sleeping bodies underground.
Allen flipped through the books with a flashlight in one hand and said, "This is not within the scope of collection."
"There is something else over there." Domingo pointed in the direction of the tombs, and he also stuck out half of his body. Because of his height, he was just lying on Cui Zuojing's body. When he spoke, his warm breath hit the ground. On the side of the boy's neck, Cui Zuojing didn't notice this and asked, "Where?"
Dong Zheng: “… … … … … … …”
Dong Zheng took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
He wasn't even willing to start, where would he get this passerby who didn't know where he came from
Dong Zheng pulled Cui Zuojing back and whispered, "Look, is there something shining?"
He was about to pull the boy directly into his arms, Cui Zuojing staggered, his ears were a little itchy from Dong Zheng's breath, he thought what was wrong, looked up at the man, and asked with his eyes: "?"
Dong Zheng just looked at him and didn't speak.
"?" Cui Zuojing only felt that the atmosphere was very strange. He rubbed his itchy ears and looked in the direction Dong Zheng pointed.
Dong Zheng glanced at Domingo, and the man with blond hair and gray eyes was also looking at him, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes, as if he saw through his shameful thoughts.
Dong Zheng frowned, he has always been calm, but he wanted to explode in place at this time.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
The sky was completely dark, so that little green light was much more conspicuous, and it lit up in the middle of the tomb group.
Cui Zuojing came out from behind the bunker and walked towards the tombs quietly.
He planned very well. If the action disturbed any creature, he could immediately return to the prisoner space and hide. As long as Dong Zheng was safe, he would be safe.
He approached the tombs step by step, and all the human-faced birds had returned to their dead bodies at this time. In the darkness, the emerald light was even more conspicuous.
Cui Zuojing approached, and found that it was a cushion-cut emerald, with liquid slowly surging inside, emitting a faint light.
The gem is inlaid in the center of the tallest cross in the tomb complex. Unlike the surrounding wooden crosses, this cross is carved from hard milky white rock. It is engraved with complicated patterns and incomprehensible characters. The most important of the tombs.
Who is going to be buried here
The British expedition that got here hundreds of years ago? The books did not specify how many people were in the expedition, but if the state funded the exploration, there should be no shortage of people.
If most of these people died on the island and were buried here by the remaining companions, then the person in this tomb should be a leader.
No matter how Cui Zuojing looked at it, he felt that this gemstone looked like a very important thing, and the other onlookers saw that there was no danger, so they followed one after another.
Lin Hangzhi: "Looks like a key item, do you want to take it down?"
Dong Linhai: "I think if you take it down directly, the brothers underground will probably think that we stole his things, crawl out and let us return it."
Dong Zheng raised his hand and touched the gem lightly. The cool touch gave rise to some unusual fluctuations. This was a peaceful and friendly fluctuation. It was not blocked by the firewall and entered his program kernel unimpeded.
"This thing shouldn't be dangerous."
Cui Zuojing nodded, and he circled the cross again, but found no other clues.
"Then... I buckled it down?"
"Wait a minute." Allen dragged Wang Que and ran away first, in case of any accident, he could take the dog, who had not fully recovered from the shock, to dodge as soon as possible, "Okay. , you do it."
Cui Zuojing: "You all stay a little further away."
Seeing that everyone had left the tomb, Cui Zuojing took out a piece of paper from his pocket, gently inserted it into the gap between the gem and the cross, and with a pry, the emerald green gem fell into his palm.
He turned it over and saw that on the back of the gem there were words written in Greek letters, but unfortunately, he couldn't read it.
While he was observing the gem, the stone cross slowly cracked, and soon it collapsed into countless pieces of rubble.
The earth trembled, and a shrill cry came from the ground, and a face appeared on the tomb where Cui Zuojing was, shouting angrily at the young man, two looming wings crawling on the ground, as if trying to struggle Come out!
But the sun had long since dropped below sea level.
If there is no light, these birds may not be able to come out.
Cui Zuojing thought about it, put the gem into his pocket, and walked towards the crowd. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his ankle.
The dry, hard touch seemed to break the boy's ankle!
Cui Zuojing lowered his head and saw the dry hand that belonged to the mummified corpse and the arm that was twisting desperately to the depths of the ground, and said, "Hi~"
Then he lifted his other foot and kicked it hard.
With a bang, the dry hand was broken into two pieces, and the people under the ground would have been brittle long after they died, and there was no way to stop Cui Zuojing's blow.
The body and soul could not stop the despicable outsiders in the world, and the righteous masters woke up one after another, struggling under the ground to break free. In an instant, the ground of the entire canyon shook violently, and countless withered hands stuck out of the tomb. Reaching towards the sky, as if trying to grab something.
A single mummy is very weak, and Cui Zuojing can easily destroy it, but it can't bear the large number of ants, and it can kill an elephant if there are too many ants.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man ran away. The rest of the people in the distance immediately started to flee. The shaking continued, and it even became more violent. The gravel kept falling from the cliff above. I was desperate to find a suitable shelter.
It seems that this gem is indeed an important prop. At this time, Cui Zuojing still had time to think about other things: After the gem was pulled out, the corpse came out. Did they want to take back the gem, or was the gem used to suppress the corpse
Mummy corpses have been crawling out of the tomb one after another. They are covered in mud, and their eyeballs have rotted away, leaving only two black eye sockets. They are wearing the costumes of European medieval sailors. Just like Cui Zuojing guessed, they were all in the same year. Crew of a British expedition.
With a loud bang, a huge rock was shaken, fell from the half waist of the canyon, and hit the road in front of everyone's escape.
"Go here!" Domingo immediately turned around and ran to his right. Everyone had no time to think about it but could only believe him and follow behind the man.
The light of the flashlight in Dong Zheng's hand swayed with the pace of running, illuminating the mountain wall in front of him. Allen couldn't help but howl: "There is no way at all, brother, are you sure you want to go here?!"
"Trust me." Domingo ran to the mountain wall and stopped, took a deep breath, and slammed his shoulder against the stone wall.
The stone walls were stitched together, motionless.
Seeing this, Dong Linhai also followed his example and rammed with his shoulder. He rammed, and heard the muffled sound of the cavity when he hit, and said with joy on his face: "There is a passage in here!"
"Get out of the way!" Allen kept backing more than 50 meters, Cui Zuojing chased after him and passed him, and gave him a puzzled look.
Allen bowed slightly, slammed his feet on the ground to activate his ability, and the whole person rushed towards the stone wall like an arrow in an instant.
clap la la-
The stone wall broke through a big hole under the high-speed collision, and there was a hole in the back, only a thin layer of two centimeters blocked them. Domingo rushed in first, Aaron climbed up from the rubble in a daze, Lin Hangzhi pulled him, and everyone ran into the deeper part of the dark cave together.
The structure of the cave is very complicated. There are two or three forks between each intersection, winding into the unknown depths. They followed Domingo all the way, and the sound of the mummies was quickly thrown away.
Assuming that it was safe for the time being, everyone gradually stopped and looked around.
This cave looks like a natural formation. There are many associated crystal minerals embedded in the cave wall, which emit blue fluorescence that can barely illuminate. Water is constantly dripping from the stalactites on the top of the cave and falling on the stalagmites directly below, making a clatter. A soft click.
The cave was cold and damp, Lin Hangzhi was sweating all over, but now that he stopped, he felt a little cold.
When he finally had time to breathe, Dong Zheng looked at Domingo who was looking at the cave wall and asked with a frown, "You seem to be familiar with Li."
As soon as he said that, the rest of the people also noticed the difference: "Yes, how did you know that there is a cave connected to the back of the stone wall?"
Domingo turned around and said calmly to Dong Zheng: "It's not convenient for me to say this. No one stipulates that I must tell you everything."
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
Dong Linhai stood up vigilantly, ready to act before Domingo made any move.
"Would you like to say it's your own business? In the same way, we are just asking, you don't have to make everyone unhappy, right?" Cui Zuojing saw the situation was not good, and persuaded a little. He was too lazy to take care of such things. Peacemaker was never his job, but for some reason, Domingo always gave him a very dangerous but familiar feeling.
This man can't be bothered.
Domingo still gave Cui Zuojing face very much. Hearing that, he continued to look at the stone wall, as if he wanted to stare it out for some kind of flower. Dong Linhai pouted and whispered to Dong Zheng: "Brother, do you really want to continue walking with him? I always feel like he will trick us."
"Let's wait and see. There are so many of us, so being careful shouldn't be a big problem."
At present, Domingo has provided them with much more help than he has hidden dangers. There are too many strange creatures on this island, even the more knowledgeable Cui Zuojing and Wei Wei. Keto can't recognize one or two of them, but this Domingo can say it every time.
And it doesn't look like he had prepared it because he knew the contents of the box in advance. That is to say, these cold and partial knowledges that can only be found in the isolated classics have always existed in his mind.
This man is dangerous.
