Zi Yang sat down on the ground, staring at the slate in front of him.
"Lao Wang is gone?" He couldn't accept the fact anyway.
In almost a day, Xiao Hei and Lao Wang died one after another.
Just now, Pharaoh was still chatting and laughing with everyone.
Just yesterday, Xiao Hei was silently guarding his side.
Seeing Zi Yang's desperate look, everyone didn't know how to comfort him. Su Rui held Zi Yang's hand and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Sorry what? She didn't know either.
At the beginning, if it hadn't been for Su Rui's initiative to contact Zi Yang at school, if he hadn't taken them to go on an adventure in the Gobi desert, hadn't invited them to join the Tibet Project... perhaps all this would not have happened.
But if it is only if, there is no assumption in life.
Zi Yang was silent for a while, and asked softly: "Old Wang, he...what will he become?"
Su Rui looked at him, "The sap of purple leaf gentian is highly toxic. After it comes in contact with blood or even the skin, it will react with the human body, thereby transforming the functions of the human body and causing it to mutate..."
Su Rui stopped here when she said that, even if she didn't say anything, everyone knew what would happen to Lao Wang.
If Lao Wang had not been "swallowed" by the purple leaf gentian, he would undoubtedly become a zombie, like the giant corpse they encountered in the wasteland and the Ermao they had just seen. The walking dead without soul.
Everyone fell silent.
Su Rui said with lingering fear: "I didn't expect the venom of this purple leaf gentian to be so weird, not only could it kill people instantly, but it would also'erode' the victim's body, making people mutate into a creature beyond death. Come, the biological weapon Hitler looked for back then should be the purple leaf gentian."
Zi Yang suddenly sneered: "There is no fountain of immortality in this world. The so-called myth of immortality is just a mutation after poisoning!"
Jin Guoqiang nodded: "If the'undead army' that Hitler wanted to build back then refers to this, then we really have to be grateful that he did not succeed in the end, otherwise, the entire mankind will fall into disaster."
Everyone fell silent again. Jin Guoqiang was right. Infected with the powerful vitality and insoluble venom of the purple leaf gentian, if given the growth conditions and space, the chain reaction produced would be enough to change the biological chain on the earth.
Zi Yang stood up abruptly and walked around the cave with the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, seeming to be looking for something.
Su Rui looked at him in surprise: "You, what are you going to do?"
"What? I want to save the earth! Didn't you listen to Jin Guoqiang's words, this thing can change the world, I want to destroy it!" Zi Yang said while laughing, but there were tears in his eyes.
Zi Ye Long Dan swallowed Lao Wang, and even Xiao Hei's corpse fell below. Zi Yang would never just abandon them like this.
"But, we are like this now..." Su Rui hesitated. They even had a problem whether they could keep their lives. How to save the world
The purple-leaf gentian below is so huge, and its tentacles are as fast as electricity, and its juice is highly poisonous, let alone ruining it, even approaching is a problem.
Zi Yang said, "Think about it, since the purple leaf gentian can hollow out the sarcophagus below, why has it been locked by the Golden Spirit Bone Pagoda?"
Jin Guoqiang looked at the swastika on the slate and said, "Do you mean the sealing power of this rune?"
Zi Yang shook his head: "I don't believe in theology, I believe in science. There must be something it is afraid of in this golden spiritual bone tower!"
Su Rui's eyes lit up, "You make sense! This purple leaf gentian can penetrate through the cracks in the stone slab, but it stops in the blood dragon wooden coffin, indicating that there is something in the tomb that can restrain it."
Zi Yang nodded: "As long as we can find what is suppressing it, it will be easy to handle. We can go deep and find the core of the purple leaf gentian, and then..."
Zi Yang threw a piece of C4 explosive in his hand.
This dynamite was turned out by him from a big cow bag. When searching below, Zi Yang untied Niu Da's backpack and hung it on his body. By the way, he also put away the detonator that Li Tianming had dropped on the ground.
Although there is only one dynamite left, if it can directly blow the key, there is still a chance that the purple leaf gentian tree will be wiped out.
At the moment everyone dispersed, looking for anything "suspicious" in the cave. Zi Yang poured out all the jewels in several layers of gold drawers, paved the floor, and looked at the treasures all over the floor, worrying, if it is true If the things in the Golden Spirit Bone Pagoda suppressed the purple-leaf gentian tree, then how do they judge which kind of thing it is
A Chong said: "Use the simplest way to bring it up and do the same experiment."
Jin Guoqiang shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous. What should I do if this thing can't be controlled?"
Zi Yang thought for a while: "There is no other way, just take a risk!"
Turning his head to Su Rui said: "You just said that the leaves of the purple leaf gentian used to stay in the blood dragon wooden coffin, right?"
Su Rui nodded.
"This shows that at least the blood dragon wood is attractive to it, well, then we are like this!"
Zi Yang said this to everyone, and several of them looked at each other. A Chong nodded and said, "You can try!"
Su Rui and Jin Guoqiang glanced at each other. Zi Yang's method was too dangerous, but apart from that, they had no other better solution, so they had to take a risk.
At the moment everyone started to move separately, A Chong and Zi Yang carried the blood dragon wooden coffin lid that had been thrown aside, and smashed it open with gold bars.
A Chong used a flying knife to cut the longest piece of wood into an arm-thick wooden stick and handed it to Zi Yang. This flying knife was also turned over from Niu Da's backpack, and it was very useful at this time.
Su Rui and Qingwen untied the climbing rope Li Tianming and the others had tied to the golden bottle, and made a looper at one end.
After everything was ready, A Chong wrapped the hand holding the knife in a down jacket, and gently raised a corner of the stone slab covering the hole.
Su Rui and Qingwen put the climbing rope on the corner of the slate, then stood far away, holding the other end of the rope with both hands.
A Chong squatted at the entrance of the cave and stood by.
Zi Yang stood by the pit, holding the two-meter wooden stick in his hand, and prayed secretly in his heart: I hope this method will work.
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and nodded: "Pull!"
Su Rui and Qingwen pulled the climbing rope together and forcefully, the slate was uncovered, Zi Yang threw a Ye Mingzhu down, lowered his head and couldn't help the scalp tingling. Under the fluorescent light of Ye Mingzhu, I saw densely packed bottom Dozens of tentacles are entangled together, like a group of snakes in the middle.
Zi Yang threw down a few pieces of blood dragon wood fragments in his hand. The "group of snakes" seemed to be stimulated, and their heads were raised and twisted around the blood dragon wood. It seemed that the smell of the blood dragon wood made them more excited. .
Zi Yang slowly dropped the blood dragon wood in his hand. Although this blood dragon wood was nearly two meters long, it was still three or four meters away from the bottom of the cave. At such a distance, the group of snakes at the bottom of the cave It does not seem to be affected.
Zi Yang was about to lie down and stretch out his hand. Suddenly, a tentacle with the thickness of an arm came out from the entrance of the hole. It was wrapped around the blood dragon wood and quickly "swimmed" up around the stick.
The tentacles of this purple leaf gentian have been stuck on the rock wall below the entrance of the cave, in the blind spot of their vision, so Zi Yang did not pay attention at first, this unexpectedly startled him, and fell back to the ground. , The blood dragon wood dragged in his hand brought out a section of "tentacles".
A Chong's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he saw a cold light flashing, his tentacles were cut off by his waist, and a blue-purple **** splashed out.
The ropes in Su Rui and Qingwen's hands were loosened, and with a bang, the thick stone slab was re-covered on the entrance of the cave.
Everyone smelled a fishy smell in their noses. Zi Yang watched A Chong's arms wrapped around the down jacket being splashed with dots of blue and purple juice, and he stammered and asked: "A Chong, you, are you okay? ?"
A Chong shook his head, stepped forward and stepped on the still twisting tentacle.
The severed tentacles were more than one meter long, and their wrists were thin, and they were still tightly wound around the blood dragon wood, as if they were about to break the blood dragon wood.
Zi Yang watched slowly and found that rows of suckers were growing under the tentacles. At this time, black thorns were drilled out of the holes of the suckers, and they were all deeply inserted into the blood dragon tree. .
Su Rui understood why Ermao, who was hit by the tentacles, instantly fell to the ground and died. When the tentacles attacked, they would stick out a stinger from the sucker and inject the venom into the body of the person being attacked.
Everyone gathered Ye Mingzhu together, and they could see the whole picture of this tentacle.
The purple-leaf gentian they saw just now, most of the vines are only finger-thick, but this vine is much thicker, like a python, with a round head and nail-sized scales, and the branches are bare. Download address●, there is no leaf like a small hand. It seems that this should be a backbone-of course, there is still a big gap from the trunk of the bucket in the sarcophagus.
Qingwen tightly wrapped the head of the tentacles with the blood dragon wood with a climbing rope, and then wrapped the tentacles tightly on the blood dragon wood a few turns. The truncated roots are wrapped with a piece of cloth of a down jacket and pestle on the ground.
Now, this "remnant body" of the purple leaf gentian is tied to the blood dragon tree by Wuhuada, ready to be interrogated by everyone.
Zi Yang took a breath, picked up a gold bar from the ground, and slowly moved closer to the tentacles, without any response.
Zi Yang rubbed the tentacles with gold bars for a few times, but still did not respond.
Su Rui picked up a string of silver jewellery and slowly placed it on it with a wooden stick, without responding.
Corals, agates, emeralds, crystals, pearls... Almost everything in the golden coffin has been tried, but the tentacles have no response.
"Is this thing dead?" asked Jin Guoqiang lying on the ground.
A Chong shook his head, his tentacles were still twitching and twisting slightly, and the poisonous thorns in the suckers were still biting the blood dragon wood.
Zi Yang was a little frustrated and sat on the ground, but was stunned by something.
Zi Yang took out the thing under his butt, took a photo with Ye Mingzhu, and found that it was a little finger-sized dzi stone with various strange symbols such as circles and triangles displayed on it. With a heart move, Zi Yang inserted the dzi stone on the wooden strip and slowly approached the tentacles.
Suddenly, the tentacles twisted desperately, and the scales of the head vibrated violently, making a "hissing" sound, like the sound of a rattlesnake.
