"So, Miss Yang is also in danger?" Fatty looked at Lin Feng and asked with a smile.
"Of course it's dangerous, but who am I, Brother Feng? I can completely handle this risk, and Shirley loves me so much, so naturally he won't hurt me. As for those guys who want to take advantage of the tiger's mouth, they are not mine at all. Opponent." Lin Feng said a little bit.
"Oh, there's no need to eat the cold jellyfish. That madman, hurry up and get something edible. Now that you're running for your life and airborne, the little food in your stomach has long been gone." Fatty He simply sat down on the ground and said.
"Do you think this is a suitable place to camp? If there is a monster coming out of the river, it can drag you in at once, just like the overlord salamander we met before. You have experienced its power firsthand. Yes, although its tongue tastes good, it is still more dangerous when the tongue is still on its body." Lin Feng said.
"Okay, what you said makes sense. Pull me up. I don't have the strength to get up anymore." The fat man stretched out his hand.
Everyone cheered up and walked forward along the river valley for about ten minutes before discovering a cave. The cave had traces of artificial construction. Lin Feng and Hu Bayi went in to investigate, and then called Axiang. I took a look and found that there were no living or dead people inside, so it was considered a relatively safe place.
This cave is not dark like ordinary caves. Instead, when the flashlight is shined, a bright light flashes through. There are many natural crystal stones on the cave wall, which is dazzling.
"It looks pretty good, but it's a pity that it's not very valuable." The fat man muttered.
Looking further inside, there is a stone platform. On the stone platform is a black humanoid wooden statue more than a foot high. There are also some cow skulls piled in the corner. This should be a place for sacrifice.
"Madman, you said that this yak was born in the territory of the Demon Kingdom and has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. Not only did it have to be caught and eaten by them, but it also had to be killed and sacrificed for no reason. Isn't this bad luck? It's really for them. It feels worthless." The fat man said, sitting far away from the pile of bones.
Ignoring the fat man's words, everyone started to light a fire to cook. Eating a hot meal in this cold underground was also helpful to boost morale. Shirley Yang skillfully took out the solid fuel from her bag and raised the fire. Fortunately, the cow There was a lot of wood beside the bones, which could be used to make a fire. When everyone saw the fire, it was like meeting their relatives. They all sat around the fire and stared at the fire in a daze.
Since everyone had lost some luggage before, Lin Feng couldn't bring out a big dinner, otherwise it would be too fake. They just cooked a pot of vegetable soup, a little beef jerky and some butter tsampa for each person. It's relatively simple, and everyone still eats it with gusto.
Uncle Ming was the only one who was dejected, probably because not only did he not achieve the purpose of this trip, but he also lost an arm. He just took a bite of dried meat, drank some soup, and then sat there staring at the fire in a daze. After a while, the fat man saw him take out the thirteen-whiskered porcelain cat that he had regarded as a treasure from his bag, and smashed it hard, smashing it to the ground, and the cat's head was smashed off.
Uncle Ming seemed still upset when he saw this, so he was about to pick up a stone next to him and throw it at the cat's head. As soon as he picked up the stone and held it in his hand, he heard a surprised sound,
"Then, what is that?"
Uncle Ming pointed to the place where the cat's head rolled down and said with some trembling. At this time, he was already a little scared.
When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but look over and saw a hole the size of a bowl not far from the cat's head. A green branch actually stretched out from the hole. The branch seemed to have just grown, but it didn't. It grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant a bright red flower as big as the mouth of a bowl bloomed, which looked quite strange.
"Ah! That...that's not a flower, that's a man's body, and there's a lot of blood on it." Axiang, who had been silent until now, suddenly pointed at the flower and exclaimed, while hugging her tightly. Holding the fat man's arm, the fat man was also shocked when he heard this, but the beauty in his arms made him lose most of his vigilance.
"Axiang, are you mistaken? This is just a flower. It just grows faster. There is no body of a man."
Axiang ignored the fat man and just repeated what he just said over and over again. Hu Bayi was about to ask Axiang what the corpse looked like, but before he could ask, he saw the flower change again and wither quickly. At the same time, a fruit grew from the flower.
The fruit was about the same size as a longan. When Hu Bayi saw the fruit, he couldn't help but stepped forward and picked it off. The branches without the fruit turned into fly ash. Hu Bayi looked at the fruit and said,
"I don't know what this fruit tastes like."
"What else could it smell like that of dead people? Didn't you hear Axiang say that it is the fruit grown from a dead man's corpse?" Lin Feng said angrily.
After Hu Ba heard this, he took off the dagger from his waist, put the fruit on the ground and cut it in the middle with the dagger. A stream of bright red liquid flowed out from inside, and at the same time a pungent fishy smell filled the air, making everyone nauseous.
Lin Feng quickly grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and sprinkled it, covering the bright red liquid. The pungent smell slowly subsided. Hu Bayi seemed to have remembered the origin of the fruit.
"This is probably the blood bait of the Fruit of Life."
Everyone was confused. Hu Ba must calm down and explain to everyone what blood bait is. Legend has it that in some places with extremely strong vitality, if a corpse is buried, the corpse will die and become immortal. This kind of corpse is called "Xuanwu". "Giant corpse", and the cave or underground where the Xuanwu giant corpse is located will continue to grow the fruit of blood bait.
"Then does this thing have any other effect besides disgusting people?" Fatty asked.
"I've never heard of any special effects of this thing." Hu Bayi shook his head.
"Then what should we do now? Ignore this thing, rest for a while and leave here, or go down and remove the cancer of the old society." Fatty said.
"I think we should find the source of this blood bait and get to the bottom of it. Maybe we will find some clues about Evil Luo Sea City here, which is better than us wandering around here. What do you think?" Hu Bayi looked at everyone and asked. road.
"Well, I agree with you in principle, let's get started. I'll expand the hole so that we can see clearly what's going on below." Lin Feng said as he took out a German engineer shovel from behind and started digging. Lin Feng expanded the hole to the extent that it could accommodate one person in less than three minutes without asking for help from others.
Then he pretended to take out a dozen light sticks from the bag and threw them down, and then the scene inside was displayed before his eyes.
