Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 32: Fingers crossed and old

Views:

The roar of the tiger shook the sky, the leaves fluttered, and the huge roar echoed in the mountains, like rumbling thunder, or like a flood rushing, which changed everyone's color. It was the place where they rested just now.

Pang Bo and Zhang Ziling glanced at each other. They knew that Liu Yunzhi and Li Changqing were finished. They were trapped in the den by returning adult tigers, and they would never survive, especially this kind of female tiger that was nursing cubs was the most ferocious.

The faces of the others became very pale. They almost encountered a large beast just after walking out of the ancient forbidden land. If they walked forward, they didn't know what they would encounter. Thinking about it now, although the lifeless forbidden land was terrifying at night, at least it would not be so dangerous during the day.

"I have avoided the crocodile ancestors, gone through dangers, traveled through the lonely universe, and finally came to a living world, but lost my life here. It is really worthless and regrettable." Zhou Yi said, looking at the mountains and forests two or three miles away.

The roar of the tiger must have been caused by Liu Yunzhi and Li Changqing. Thinking of this place, everyone felt chills, and a bloody picture appeared in front of them. The fierce tiger tore apart three bodies, and its sharp claws and white saber teeth were dripping with blood. , Eating flesh and blood, just thinking about that terrible scene makes people feel chills down the spine.

"Go!"

It must not stay here for a long time, the fierce tiger is entrenched here, and its territory is nearby. After rushing out for another four or five miles, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Why is this woodland so quiet? Shouldn't we go back to the ancient forbidden land?"

The towering ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, and the primitive mountains and forests are quiet. There are no birds singing or beasts roaring, and no bees and butterflies flying. All animals seem to have disappeared at once.

There was no wrong direction, but everyone faintly felt that something was wrong, and they became more cautious.

Walking forward for about 2,000 meters, all kinds of towering ancient trees are gradually sparse, and a relatively open area appears in front of everyone's eyes. It is very flat and dry, and stepping on it feels like stepping on marble. Solid, nothing grows here, just some huge rocks.

"Why is there so much darkness ahead, what is that?"

"Appears to be... a huge black lake."

Huge boulders lay horizontally here, blocking everyone's sight just now, and it was only at this time that they passed through a pile of chaotic stones to see the scenery ahead, and everyone was taken aback.

A huge lake lay in front of it, as silent as a block of iron, without any waves, and the most surprising thing was its color, which was pitch black, like ink, so dark and eerie.

"Now I finally understand that there is really bad water in the world. No matter how you look at this big black lake, it makes people feel uncomfortable. I have never seen such a dark lake."

The big black lake is lifeless, without any signs of life. Not only that, but the surrounding open mountainous land has become a barren land, where not even a single weed can grow. This place seems to be a forbidden area for life.

"It seems... There seems to be some sound." A female classmate's voice trembled, her face turned pale.

At this time, the others also heard a strange sound, which was very low, as if they were moaning in pain.

"Click!"

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, as if something hard had broken.

"There...it's there!" Liu Yiyi's face was pale, and she pointed to the shore of the black lake, where there was a huge boulder more than ten meters long.

It seems that there is something lying behind the huge boulder, only part of the body is exposed, the thick skin on the body is as cold and hard as black metal, with the texture and luster of black gold.

"What is that?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Don't worry about it, get out of here!"

A huge black lake, a hard mountain where not a single blade of grass grows, living in such a place is definitely not a good beast.

"Click!"

The crackling sound came again, and the deep roar seemed to be even more painful. It seemed to be struggling, and then turned its body and hit the boulder with a bang.

The boulder, which was seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters long, was knocked over suddenly, and fell into the pitch-black lake water, stirring up black waves.

It wasn't until this time that everyone finally saw the beast clearly. It was only three meters long and less than 1.5 meters high. It was not as huge as imagined, but it was precisely because of this that it was even more shocking. A huge boulder more than ten meters long and seven or eight meters high crashed into the lake. Such a huge force is really appalling.

"What is this?!"

Everyone has never seen this kind of beast before. It has no animal hair, nor is it covered with scales. It looks like it is cast from black molten iron. It is black all over, with a metallic texture and luster.

It is less than three meters long, like a big black iron block, it looks very strong, and has an unparalleled sense of strength. At first glance, it looks like a strong bull, but when you look closely, it is quite different. There are nine sharp horns growing on its head, which are extremely sharp and black. And it actually had five eyes, with blood radiating from the opening and closing. The sharp teeth more than half a foot long in the wide mouth were exposed like daggers, shining coldly, ferocious and frightening, with a tragic and fierce aura.

This is a terrifying savage beast that has never been seen or seen before. It is extremely ferocious at first glance. Just looking at it from a distance makes one's heart palpitate.

"It seems to be shedding its skin..." Someone said in a low voice with a look of surprise.

On the back of the black beast, there is a big opening that is slowly splitting open, exposing part of the new body inside, which is even more black and shiny, as if it was made of Ujin.

"Hurry up, let's get away from this place while it's molting and shedding its shell!"

It is shedding its shell like a cicada. This kind of growth is really strange for a ferocious beast, and it looks very evil. Fortunately, it is transforming, otherwise everyone would not dare to imagine the terrible consequences.

If you find the fierce tiger that roared like thunder just now, I'm afraid it will be as docile as a kitten in front of this vicious beast. It can easily knock a huge boulder seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters long into the lake. How terrifying and unpredictable such a beast is.

Everyone walked around the black lake without any danger, and the deep and painful roar gradually faded away until it disappeared.

Climb up a low mountain again and look at the peak in the distance. The buildings there are more and more clear, the scale is huge, and the palaces are continuous, like a palace in the sky falling into the world.

"Why do I feel my body is hot..." A female classmate said this to another female classmate beside her with some embarrassment.

"I feel the same way."

At this moment, everyone noticed each other's abnormality. Their skin was terribly red, as if it was about to bleed. Everyone felt extremely hot, as if a fire was burning inside their bodies.

This was not caused by the hot weather at all, it was something wrong with the body, and everyone felt more and more burning pain in their skin and flesh, as if they had been steamed in an oven.

"I... can't take it... so uncomfortable!" A female classmate squatted on the ground in great pain, and shouted, "It hurts so much, the flesh and blood seem to be drying up..." She couldn't control herself, she burst into tears and fell to the ground , constantly tossing and turning.

Then the second and third students couldn't bear it anymore, their whole body was blood red, with traces of blood oozing from their skin, they fell to the ground, rolling in pain.

"What the hell is going on, what happened?!"

Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter. At this moment, no one could stand. Almost all fell to the ground, screaming in pain. The flesh and blood seemed to be being stripped off, and the whole body was in pain like a knife.

"Ah..." Someone finally couldn't help it, shouted, rolled around, leaving bloodstains on the ground.

"I don't want to die..." someone yelled in horror.

This was a sudden calamity. No one knew why it happened, and they didn't know their own condition at all. They just felt as if they were being mutilated, and their bodies were slowly being dismembered.

"Let me die... I'm so sick..."

Struggling, crying, rolling, and yelling, many people were almost desperate, screaming loudly, and the pain gradually blurred their sanity.

In the end, everyone's bodies were covered with a layer of blood, like a bloody flame burning. Struggling violently and roaring in pain, this mountain is no longer peaceful, and the nearby birds and beasts are scared away.

This is an inhuman torture, like being in purgatory, experiencing the most tragic torture in the world. In the end, the pain caused everyone to pass out, and no one could maintain sanity.

I don't know how long it took before the mountain gradually calmed down, and the painful growl disappeared.

Two hours later, Ye Fan, who was lying on his back among the weeds, was the first to wake up. The sky was azure and birds and insects were chirping around him. He quickly sat up. There is no longer any pain in his body, and he is even full of energy. His whole body is comfortable, as if he has infinite energy. He feels that he can tear a saber-toothed tiger alive.

However, he soon discovered the abnormality. The clothes on his body became bigger, and they were loose and loose, and they didn't fit at all. He stretched out his hands from the wide sleeves, and the moment he saw it, he, who has always been very calm, suddenly screamed, is this still his palm? It was several sizes too small, very shiny, not like an adult's palm at all.

Ye Fan stood up quickly, he felt that everything was so unbelievable, the clothes on his body were loose and loose, like the costumes of an opera singer. But it's not that the clothes have become bigger, but his body has become smaller. At this moment, his body looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

At this time, Pang Bo, who was not far away, woke up and turned around, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw Ye Fan standing not far away, suddenly showed surprise, and said, "Who are you, little brat? Where did you come from, I Damn, why are you wearing Ye Fan's clothes?!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel something was wrong, turned over and sat up, then stood up quickly, and then yelled as if he had seen a ghost.

"Why did my clothes get bigger, no, why did my body get smaller?" As he spoke, he looked at Ye Fan in surprise, and stammered, "You...you are Ye Fan?" Shut up, because his voice is more and more like a teenager, full of childishness.

Looking at Pangbo not far away, Ye Fan was also in a daze for a while. He was a young and immature boy. He looked about eleven or twelve years old, and he could vaguely see the shadow of an adult Pangbo.

"What's wrong with us?" Pang Bo came to Ye Fan, shouting and shouting excitedly, he was really stimulated.

"I think... we may be rejuvenated." Ye Fan was also shocked, so he could only make such a judgment. Both of them looked immature now, which was very different from before.

"Damn it, such a dastardly thing can happen to us?!" Pangbo yelled for a while, he really couldn't understand why such an incredible thing happened.

"Go and see how the others are doing."

Ye Fan asked him to walk up the mountain together. Just now they rolled down the mountain for tens of meters. Fortunately, the mountain here is gentle and there are many trees growing, otherwise they would have been in danger. It is conceivable how violently they struggled not long ago, and now looking back, the pain still makes people shudder.

When they came to the top of the mountain, Ye Fan and the two were stunned, and Pang Bo shouted: "Who are these depressing old men and women?"

Seeing what they saw almost made the two of them petrify there, and they felt terrified.

More than a dozen bodies were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner. Looking around, there were white heads and wrinkled skins, all of which were extremely old. But these people are all wearing the clothes of familiar people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are seventy or eighty years old, they are really old and out of shape.

"They... can't be Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, right?!"

With a snap of their fingers, the beauty is old, and the two feel dry mouthed, standing on the top of the mountain like clay sculptures and wood carvings.
