The Companions

Chapter 245: Eighteen petals

Views:

Coming to this conclusion shocked me myself. I have heard of corpse flowers many times before, and I know that corpse flowers grow on dead human bones and are still on the colorful people. I have seen corpse flowers on their clothes.

This time in this cold cave, I first saw the pattern of the corpse flower on the stone gate. As soon as I entered, I saw the black flower, swaying with the wind.

Naturally, my first reaction was that it was a corpse flower. A closer look confirmed my idea. Linglong said in surprise: "What, how can there be a corpse flower in this world? The corpse flower is a flower in the legend, and it is impossible to appear in reality."

I said: "There are not only black corpse flowers in this world, but also red and white, but black is the most common. This is not a legend, it is real."

Senior Yuyinzi once told me about corpse flowers, saying that there are three colors of this kind of flowers: black, white and red. What I see here is the black corpse flower.

Chen Ye asked, "Xiao Kang,...what is the use of this corpse flower. Is it a poisonous flower or a flower that is good for people?"

I thought for a while, shook my head and said: "I only know that the corpse flower grows on the pile of dead people. I don't know if there is poisonous gas. Senior Yuyinzi has not said that, maybe no one knows whether the corpse flower is good or bad."

Maybe there is no such thing as good or bad corpse flower, it depends on how people treat it. The black corpse flower swayed in the wind, strangely strange. The impression of the flowers was mostly bright and eye-catching. Suddenly a black corpse flower appeared, which was more or less unexpected.

The three of us stood and looked around in the cold winter. I sensed it again and made sure that there were no Gu worms in the dark. I asked Chen Ye to look around to see if there was any hidden weapon.

Chen Ye said: "There is ice in this ice cave. Even if there is a hidden weapon, it will be frozen by the ice, and there will be no more cold arrows."

The stone in my heart fell to the ground and rushed forward quickly, but at this time, Linglong moved faster, and rushed in front of me in a flash, and quickly rushed to the innermost part of the cold cave, with a sharp hand drawn out of her hand. The dagger, guarding under the corpse flower, screamed: "Don't snatch the corpse flower from me, it belongs to me."

The inside of the cave was very open and bright, the dagger was glowing, and the blade of the dagger was faintly darkened with poisonous snake venom. I stopped and said, "Linglong, this flower was discovered by the three of us. How could it belong to you alone? Do you want to swallow this corpse flower?"

Chen Ye also ran forward, stopped by my side, and said, "Miss Linglong, this corpse flower suddenly appeared here, which is mysterious and unusual. The various organs here are carefully arranged, probably to protect the corpse flower. I persuade us. No one should take this corpse flower away, or it will cause changes, and we may not be able to escape."

Linglong sneered and said: "Chen Ye, I have no grudges with you. Don't be nosy. Xiao Kang, I must take this corpse flower. It can save people's life... If you let me take the corpse flower away , I'm sure I will never trouble you father and son again, and we will no longer be enemies!"

Listening to Linglong's meaning, she understood the role of the corpse flower, and the purpose of taking the corpse flower away was to save people. I thought for a while, and said, "I heard Uncle Bai said that Guo Xin'er and my Abba Xiaoguan lived in Camellia Cave before. If you took the corpse flower away, do you want to save Guo Xin'er!"

Listening to the conversation between Abba Xiaoguan and Bai Yueming, this Guo Xin'er is not Abba's big enemy. They just have some misunderstandings. Linglong wants to use this corpse flower to save people. I don't have to snatch this corpse flower with her.

Linglong hesitated for a while, and shouted: "Yes! I just save her old man. If you let me take it away, I remember your great kindness. If you want to fight, let's fight here!"

The eyes are wide, and the nerves in his body are tense. I said, "Linglong, you put the knife away. The corpse flower has appeared many times. I just wanted to come over and study it. I didn’t think of taking it as my own. Don’t worry, you took the corpse flower to save people. I Let it be for you. At most I only need you to give a petal, which is always okay!"

Linglong looked at me suspiciously: "Really not a trick!"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "It's not a trick. I believe in Xiao Kang, and I will never lie to a girl. You can pluck the corpse flower, as long as you give me a petal. I will take it home and ask Senior Yuyinzi for advice. With my dad!"

Linglong glanced at Chen Ye again. Chen Ye said, "Although Xiao Kang likes to be slick, he will never lie to you."

Linglong then buckled the dagger back, and the hostility on her body was greatly reduced, and she shouted: "Okay, then I will believe you once, come here, I don't need a dagger to deal with you. Let's take the corpse flower off together!"

Only then did Chen Ye and I walked forward. The three of them passed through the tall ice statue and walked a few steps up the ice layer until they came under the black corpse flower.

The corpse flower is seventy or eighty centimeters high, and it grows on the ice at all, and there are some black leaves on the flower.

"Human skull!" Linglong exclaimed, "It's at the bottom of the corpse flower!" The roots of the corpse flower spread out from under the ice layer. Through the ice layer, you can vaguely see the densely packed human skulls under the ice layer.

I was sweating from the back of my spine. It seems that the rumors are true, and it is possible to grow corpses on the pile of dead people. With so many human skulls piled up, it is possible to grow a corpse flower.

Chen Ye looked at it for a while and said, "Xiao Kang, it's strange. These human skulls don't have bodies, only skulls. They are densely piled together, and they should have been placed together specially. Only if people placed them specially, it is possible. So neat!"

I broke out in a cold sweat again, ignoring the cold of my body, and turning my mind quickly, could it be that little-eyed weird man, who collected these human skulls here, and then waited for the corpse flower to bloom.

I said, "Maybe it's the little-eyed weirdo! Since he trapped us here. Then we will take his corpse flower away, which is also our revenge on him!"

I walked over, looked back at Linglong, and said, "Give me your dagger. I'll chop off the corpse flower!" Linglong bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, then handed the dagger to me.

I took the dagger, held the vines of the corpse flower, and then began to saw the branches and vines of the corpse flower, picking the corpse flower and taking it away. When I touched the vines of the corpse flower, I felt very cold, like falling naked into the ice water in the winter.

I fell to the ground with my ass, and the dagger also fell on the ground, saying: "The vines of this corpse flower are too cold, there is no way to cut it, and it seems to be very hard!"

Linglong picked up the dagger and said, "I'll give it a try!" Linglong was eager to get this corpse flower. When she touched the corpse flower, she fell to the ground just like me, and her whole face was pale with cold.

Chen Ye said: "Xiao Kang, Linglong, if I am not mistaken. The reason why this cave is formed with ice is most likely because of this corpse flower."

I barely got up, and I could see the gas out clearly. I looked at the black corpse flower and said, "I wanted to take it away with the rhizomes, but now it seems that I can only take the petals away! Linglong, you find a bag and pluck off the petals. I only need one. The petals will do."

Linglong's lips were completely white, and she nodded reluctantly, and said, "Okay." After finding the small bag, she walked forward again, shivering constantly. I found the flower of the corpse flower, first plucked a large petal and put it in my pocket. Then Linglong pulled the bag and quickly picked off the petals.

The cave was getting colder and colder, and I gritted my teeth and speeded up. Every time I took off a petal, I heard a creaking sound, as if something was cracking.

Chen Ye looked around nervously and said, "Xiao Kang, the ice layer in this ice cave is cracked!" With a thud, the ice on the top of the mountain also fell and hit the ice statue. , The ice cubes crumbled into dregs, and some splashed on our bodies.

When I tore off the last petal, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, Linglong, there are 18 petals in total, one here for me, and a total of 17 petals for you..."

Linglong smiled and said, "Anyway, I am very grateful to you..." Before the words were finished, only the sound of Ka Ka was heard.

Where I, Chen Ye, and Linglong were standing, the ice immediately shattered and cracked. The three of us fell together and yelled at the same time. After the ice cracked, we fell into the human skull.

The human skulls that were originally piled up also scattered in an instant. Hundreds of human skulls jumped and scattered quickly, as if a string of beads suddenly broke and some scattered.

Some of these skulls are white, some are black, and occasionally there are two green hairs. The three of us fell among human skulls, waving our hands violently, and finally our feet fell to the ground and barely stood up.

Looking at the human skulls in one place, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. At least a thousand human skulls were used in the whole platform. I don't know who collected it.

Crackling, the huge ice statue in front of us also cracked the ice layer on its body, and it fell to the ground one after another, waiting for the ice layer to fall on the ground. That ice statue is not a statue at all, but a zombie.

Fortunately, the zombie stood motionless, completely stiff. Where we are standing, we can only see his back.

Kaka, there was another sound of crushing ice falling to the ground, and the ice layer on the two iron chains also fell on the ground. The iron chains were wrapped around the zombie. Each iron chain was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The iron chains were wrapped around the zombie, and the other two ends were embedded in the stone wall.

I, Chen Ye, and Linglong were stunned. For a few seconds, I didn't know what to say.

"Ha...Ha..." Just as I was about to speak, I heard a breath of breath in my ears, which was from the zombie in front of the three of us.
