A deep fissure appeared on the mountain. It spread to an unknown length and disappeared into the thick black fog!
Below the crack, there are dinosaur fossil-like bones everywhere, each one almost as thick as an arm, emitting billowing smoke!
But the most shocking thing is the huge tombstone and cave. It is crawling under the earth like an ancient ferocious beast, and thick black mist is spraying out from it!
Especially the dark cave made people feel numb, as if there were evil spirits buried in it. As soon as it appeared, the sound of howling ghosts and wolves could be heard in the surrounding air. The sharp sound seemed to have an inexplicable sound. The fear effect made everyone's legs weak, their scalps numb, and they almost wanted to crawl to the ground. Every cell in their bodies was trembling and trembling! !
How is this going?
Why is there such a huge tombstone here!
And it’s Xu Fu’s purpose?
"Are you sure the words recorded on this tombstone are Xu Fu?"
Someone in the team asked in horror, their faces turning pale!
The police officer who had previously recognized these two words was also shrouded in fear. He swallowed, bravely stepped forward, and observed it again.
After a moment, the fear in his eyes became even worse!
"No, I won't admit my mistake! It's definitely Xu Fu!"
"I have loved studying the history of Sakura Country since I was a child. I know Xu Fu and even searched for his name. This is how it was written!"
"This should be an ancient script from Daxia. I don't recognize the other densely packed characters, but the last few signature words are definitely Xu Fu!"
"I can't remember it wrong!!"
It was like thunder exploding!
In front of the huge underground fissure, everyone was suddenly horrified! !
They still know about Xu Fu. They know that he was an alchemist from the Qin Dynasty in the Great Xia. He traveled across the ocean and came to the ancient Cherry Blossom Country. He was the first person to come to the Cherry Blossom Country in Great Xia. In the Cherry Blossom Country , also has a lot of popularity.
But knowing is one thing, seeing is another!
Why is there Xu Fu’s cemetery here!
Wasn't the place where Xu Fu originally logged in at Shingu in Kishu Kumano to the west, which is now Shingu City in Wakayama Prefecture?
There’s even Xu Fu’s tomb and Xu Fu Shrine there!
And now, why is there another Xu Fu tomb popping up here? !
The dark cave exuded a heavy pressure. The magnificent tombstone seemed to come from thousands of years ago. The rich black air spread from the tomb and the tombstone. Incomparable fear spread in their hearts, making their breathing quicken. !
And why do this cemetery and tombstones still emit black energy? !
What's going on with the surrounding jungle?
What happened to those weird animals?
Am I really not dreaming? !
Seeing all this, almost everyone in Kamijou Ise's team had their brains buzzing. They had no idea what was going on. Was there something wrong with the world or something was wrong with their brains?
But in the end, someone in the team finally gritted his teeth and spoke!
"No matter what, get out of here first!"
"This Xu Fu Cemetery is very strange. The black mist and gas emitted are abnormal. If it spreads, it may be a catastrophe! Let's go back and report all this!!"
"It's time to show our loyalty!"
"Walk!"
Following Kamijou Ise's roar, several other police officers also gritted their teeth and roared, forcibly dispelling a little fear, and then scrambled out of the crack in the cemetery and began to run desperately outside. Get out!
The jungle is silent!
As time goes by, the black fog has completely enveloped the entire forest, and even the falling sunlight is a bit strange, showing a faint gray in the woods.
Even the light of the sun was blocked, and it seemed to become a gray-black sun, which made people feel chills on their spines!
Everyone ran desperately, trying to escape from here. In the process, they also tried to use their mobile phones and other devices to communicate with the outside world and report the abnormalities here.
But in this jungle of black mist, the only sound coming from mobile phones and other devices is the chaotic electronic flow, and the signal cannot penetrate at all.
"Why is this happening!"
"Why is there no signal!"
Looking at the increasingly dense black mist around them, fear gradually enveloped their hearts.
Because judging from the time, they should have entered this jungle for several hours. Except for the first half hour and then going forward, the rest were all escaping outside.
But until now, they have no intention of leaving here. In addition to thick black fog, they are surrounded by dense woods.
"what to do?"
"Captain! How should we get out!"
Huge fear enveloped everyone's hearts, causing them to break out in cold sweat.
Kamijou Ise was already panicking at this time. He looked at everything in all directions and had no idea what was happening here. Everything in front of him was beyond his imagination. The existence of Xu Fu's cemetery and the thick black fog made him He couldn't tell the direction at all!
Gritting his teeth, Kamijou Ise determined a direction and growled: "Go this way!!"
Everyone ran for their lives!
And while these figures were running wildly in the jungle, they didn't notice the changes happening to them at all.
At some point, they all had something in them that didn't belong to them.
They are tiny plant rhizomes.
These rhizomes are as thin as a pencil and as thick as a thumb's width. They are all of a dark color and hang twistedly on their bodies.
These twisted black roots exuded an ominous and strange aura, and were so black that it made one's heart palpitate. They grew out of the wounds previously attacked by many jungle animals, connected to their flesh and blood, and began to grow in their bodies.
In just a few minutes, the black roots on their bodies had grown tens of centimeters long and penetrated into their skin, squirming like blood vessels in their bodies.
But the strange thing is that many police officers seemed not to notice all this at all, and were still running for their lives in a panic.
Not only did these plant roots begin to grow on these people, but as they fled for their lives, the blood continued to drop, and everything around them began to shake.
The entire forest began to become starry, and black spots lit up, like dim stars in the dark night, or like black diamonds scattered on the ground, shining brightly.
Like the sound of sandworms breaking through the ground, one sprout after another sprouted out from all directions.
Some of these seedlings grew from the earth, some grew from rocks, some grew from trees, and some even grew from fallen dead leaves!
These seedlings are only a few inches tall and grow from the jungle in all directions. They have a beautiful black luster, as if they were made of dazzling black gems. They are crystal clear and magical everywhere! !
After a brief stagnation, the rustling sound spread, and the many black seedlings began to grow crazily!
'Boo! ! '
This is the sound of flowers blooming. Black flowers bloom on these plants. They are about half a meter tall, and their whole bodies are as translucent and translucent as black diamonds. The petals are in strips, as if they are connected to the Nine Netherworld. Hell blooms in a non-existent country, with demonic nature, devouring people's hearts.
Everyone was running in the jungle, and the roots on their bodies had grown. Petals and branches and leaves began to sprout from their ears, nostrils, eyes, and skin.
But even at this time, Kamijou Ise and others still seemed not to notice, and still ran away in panic.
The flowers continue to bloom. If anyone is awake here, they will find that these flowers are very much like the flowers of the other side. The petals are slender and spread out, bending backwards, and gathered together, which is particularly beautiful.
However, the flowers on the other side are rumored to be the purest bright red, but these flowers blooming in the jungle are all black flowers, which is unprecedented.
The huge sea of flowers spread in the thick black fog. Kamijou Ise and others' footsteps gradually became sluggish, and their bodies were gradually filled with the rich Higan flowers.
Those in the team who were less injured by animal attacks earlier were doing better, but those who were more injured were now covered in black Higan flowers.
Roots penetrated their skin and flesh, replacing their bones and blood vessels.
Fist-sized black flowers of the other side tore their flesh and grew out on their cheeks, chests, backs, and everywhere on their bodies.
Among them, the one that has changed the most is Murata, who was bitten at the beginning. At this time, his whole body can no longer be seen as human, only a piece of weirdly stretched flesh is left, like a twisted monster. Follow the end of the line.
But even so, they had no intention of waking up and were still running as hard as they could.
The jungle was silent, with strange animals standing on both sides, watching everything quietly.
The thick black fog soaked the setting sun, dyeing the world into a strange and ominous black!
The faint fragrance ripples, making people addicted.
Eventually, over time, these plant rhizomes grow to their maximum limit.
The black sea of flowers spread out, swallowing up the figure whose name had almost become a plant.
Murata, Choji, Maki, Kitajima, now
A police officer lost his life in a daze.
Their bodies have long lost their upgrades, and they have all turned into tender branches, and even their bones have turned into nutrients and dissipated.
Among the many police officers, only Kamijou Ise, who was running at the front, was doing better. He was not injured in the previous escape, and there were not many plants growing on his body.
And just as these black Higanbana devoured his team members one by one, Kamijou Ise, who was running wildly, stumbled, fell down, and hit his head and back heavily on a stone.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The tough stone pierced his back, and the severe pain made his eyes tremble. Then wisps of clarity replaced the confusion, and he woke up.
However, when Kamijou Ise woke up and saw all this clearly, he suddenly became sluggish and desperate!
"What's going on here!"
"what happened!"
Black flowers of the other shore grew between the sky and the earth. Thick mist surrounded everything. The team members, who were stretched like monsters, fell into the sea of flowers. Strange black flowers grew on their heads and eyes.
Seeing all this, Kamijou Ise almost went crazy!
"ah!!!"
The violent impact filled his heart with fear. The desperate Kamijou Ise screamed and ran desperately towards the place where he came from!
And this time, I don’t know whether it was luck or the fact that he was far away from the cemetery. Under a strange change, Kamijou Ise actually rushed out of the jungle and came to the foot of the mountain!
Looking at the strange yet familiar land, Kamijou Ise was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter!
"I'm out! I'm out!!!"
Ignoring the wounds on his forehead and back, Kamijou Ise hurriedly returned to the car, started the vehicle, and rushed towards the Nara Police Station with all his strength! ! !
Along the way, Kamijou Ise kept running wildly. He drove the police car, which was more than 20 years old, to almost 160 miles!
With the car nearly falling apart in violent jolts, Kamijou Ise finally rushed back to the police station in the small county town!
The police station in this small county town was also a little anxious because Kamijou Ise and others had not returned from their missions and were not answering their phone calls.
Now that I saw Kamijou Ise coming back, seven or eight police officers on duty immediately came to greet him!
"Mr. Kamijou! Where have you been today! Why is there no news? We are all worried about you!"
Kamijou Ise staggered out of the car and staggered forward, but after taking a few steps, he fell to the ground with a thud!
"Mr. Kamijou!"
"Sir!!"
Many police officers were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly and anxiously stepped forward to help Kamijou Ise.
Seeing Kamijou Ise covered in blood and his weak body, almost all the police officers were stunned! !
"Mr. Kamijou! What's the matter with your injuries? What happened today!"
"You're so hot! Please hold on, I'm going to get the first aid kit right now!"
"Huh? Murata, where are they now? Mr. Kamijou, why are they missing! Have you seen them?"
A police officer was anxiously busy beside Kamijou Ise, trying to help him stop bleeding and treat him.
However, Kamijou Ise didn't care about this. He grabbed the top person in charge of his town's police station and spoke with dry and trembling lips.
"Chief, sir. Xu, Xu Fu's tomb."
Xu Fu’s tomb?
Upon hearing this, many police officers were stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard wrong, until Kamijou Ise continued to speak.
"us."
"The place we went to today"
"Xu Fu's Tomb"
After hearing this, everyone finally understood clearly, but they were even more confused!
What Xu Fu’s tomb?
Isn't Xu Fu's tomb in the new palace?
What does it have to do with Nara? !
"Danger here"
"Be careful. Don't let the animals get hurt."
"Black mist."
Kamijou Ise spoke tremblingly, the corners of his lips were dry, and blood was constantly flowing out.
"Nakajima-kun, be careful."
"Kamijo, take a good rest! Stop talking now! Hurry up! Call the emergency personnel!!" The top person in charge of the town police department saw Kamijou Ise's anger, and he spoke anxiously and shouted loudly.
However, before the emergency personnel arrived, Kamijou Ise coughed violently, a large amount of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and died in front of the police station.
"Kamijou!!"
"Mr. Kamijou!"
"Sir!"
The first aid worker hurried over with a box on his back, stretched out his hand and pressed on Kamijou Ise's body, his face suddenly darkened.
"died."
Hearing this, almost all the police officers looked extremely ugly!
What happened?
What happened to Kamijou Ise?
He actually received such serious injuries!
What is the tomb of Xu Fu he is talking about! !
"Wait a minute, look at Mr. Kamijou's back! What is this!"
Everyone looked around hurriedly and found that Kamijou Ise's back was already bloody and in tatters.
And on the blood-filled back, black flowers as thick as a thumb grew out!
These black flowers are particularly weird, crystal clear, and their roots seem to be completely connected to Kamijou Ise's back, deeply rooted in the flesh and blood!
"what is this flower?!"
"Black flowers!"
"Why are you behind Mr. Kamijou's back!!"
Looking at these flowers rooted behind Kamijou Ise, almost everyone felt a chill!
This flower is not big, but it is terrifyingly black. The dark petals are open and layered, as if it can absorb all the people's sight. It is crystal clear, but it is ominous and weird!
"This is... a flower called the other side flower!"
"This means the legendary flower of the other side of the Great Xia Kingdom!!"
Some police officers took out their computers, collected pictures immediately, and spoke anxiously.
"In the legend of Daxia, this flower symbolizes ominousness and death. It is a flower in the underworld, connecting the Yellow Spring and the Naihe Bridge!"
"But...the flowers here should be bright red, why are the flowers here black?!"
"And why does he grow on Mr. Kamijou's back?!"
The black Bianhua flower is crystal clear, as if it comes from the land of Jiuyou, with a biting coldness and awe.
This strange scene immediately stunned many police officers!
But soon, the head of the town police station, Nakajima, reacted, realized something was wrong, and spoke anxiously!
"quick!"
"Hurry up and investigate the surveillance to see where Kamijou and the others went today!"
"At the same time, call in all the police officers in the hall and ask them to quickly find Murata and Bei Dao, now they are!!"
"Then prepare the information, investigate all this, and prepare to notify the higher authorities of all this!"
"Hurry up!"
"Everyone take action!!"
The middle-aged man in police uniform held up the brim of his hat and looked at the dark sky in the distance, his expression turning ugly.
"I have a hunch."
"This is about today."
“Maybe it’s not that simple!!”
In fact, just as the person in charge of the small town's police department expected, this matter was not that simple.
The ancient tomb from thousands of years ago reappeared due to a violent earthquake, and thick black fog filled the jungle. How could it be solved so easily?
Just when the police officers sounded the alarm, dispatched personnel urgently, and quickly tried to find out the cause of death of Kamijou and others, no one could notice that a thick black mist was gradually coming from the dark mountains. medium diffusion.
In just one or two hours, this thick black fog covered the entire city.
Night falls.
The thick black fog completely merged with the night, swallowing up the stars, moonlight, and the lights of the entire city.
"Huh? What's going on? Why is it getting dark? Weren't there still stars before?"
"Is the wind blowing? It seems to be several degrees colder."
"It's strange why those mountains over there are so dark."
"Why don't the street lights turn on?"
People near a famous mountain town looked around curiously, but they did not realize the root cause of all this. They just slowly entered the water in confusion and confusion.
Arrive as promised the next day.
No one realized the difference last night, no one knew what happened, and no one knew that the thick black fog had ever come to this world.
But today, in several small towns and cities near the mountains, there are always many people who oversleep, and are late for work and late for school because of nightmares.
At first, people didn't take all this seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary oversleep, and even talked about their nightmares.
But when they waited for the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and even the fifth day, they continued to oversleep and had nightmares one after another, they finally seemed to realize that something was wrong!
"What's going on? Why do I have nightmares every day these days!"
"You too?! I'm having nightmares too, it's so weird!"
"In my nightmare, I feel like I'm in a wasteland, with all kinds of weird monsters filling the world!"
"Really?! Me too! What I dreamed about was also a monster! It was a creature without a head!"
One figure after another was discussing in confusion, but at this time they were not aware of the seriousness of the matter.
And while these people were having heated discussions, no one realized that in the uninhabited areas near these towns and villages, there were small black flowers of the other side, gradually growing in corners, trees, lake bottoms, pools, etc. Wait for the place to grow.
They kept growing and sprouting, and finally on the sixth day, the first little Bana flower sprouted.
Crystal petals like black diamonds bloom on this land.
And with the blooming of these other shore flowers, people gradually began to die in these cities that were once covered by black fog.
The circumstances of their deaths were bizarre. Some died of heart failure, some died of respiratory infections, and some died of cerebral thrombosis.
But there are many more people who died without any basis.
They are often just walking on the road, or going to class, work, or shopping, and then they fall to the ground and lose all traces of life.
Extraordinarily abrupt, extraordinarily fast.
At the beginning, there were not many people who died. Most of them were old people, only one or two every day.
But as just a few days passed, the number of deaths began to rise linearly!
In just one week, nearly a hundred people had died inexplicably in the entire area shrouded in black mist!
Even more than that!
The number and scope of this kind of death are still rising and spreading! !
And before these people died, they all had an extremely terrifying nightmare!
In this dream, they seemed to be on a terrifying battlefield. The sky and the earth were collapsing. Above the sky were countless great monsters, fighting with each other against monsters that were higher than the mountains!
"They said that some of the big monsters are like the sun, some are like big birds, and there seem to be twelve of these monsters in total. Except for this one, the others can't be seen clearly!"
"The only thing I can see clearly is a very weird animal. It has six legs, four wings, no mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, and its whole body is like fire!"
"And beside it, there are large black Higan flowers growing!"
Faced with all this, all the nearby senior officials were completely confused! !
It is obvious that they cannot bear the death of so many people!
Looking at the death report sent from below, many senior officials were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They noticed something was wrong almost immediately and reported everything to the Nara Prefecture official! ! !
And the Nara Prefecture official officials were stunned after seeing the news about what happened here!
What kind of bizarre case is this?
A mysterious dead person?
Will you have nightmares before you die, six hands, four wings? !
They sent personnel to investigate almost immediately. However, before their investigation could produce any results, more people suddenly began to die in the small town and nearby cities! ! !
"What's going on? Why did someone die again!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, why did they die? Could it be radiation or something!"
"It shouldn't be! Why on earth is this!"
"Have you found the reason why they died?"
"No, there are no abnormalities in the bodies of these dead people. Except for a few who have diseases, most of them have no problems at all!"
Faced with all this, almost all the senior members of Nara Prefecture were anxious!
Rapid control measures were used to prevent all this tragedy from happening, but they didn't know the cause at all and were completely helpless! !
And just when the senior officials of Nara Prefecture were watching all this happening, they had no idea how to respond or stop it.
In the small town police station that was the first to notice something strange, the chief in charge of the incident finally belatedly reported it! !
"Sir, sir!"
"We seem to have found the problem!"
"Just a week ago, a case occurred in the area under the jurisdiction of our police department!"
"According to reports, there is a mountain range where animals often attack people. Our captain Kamijou Ise led people to explore, but no one was spared!"
"And in this mountain range."
"We discovered the tomb of Xu Fu, the legendary alchemist from the Qin Kingdom who traveled eastward!"
"at the same time."
“I also found countless black Higan flowers!”
What? !
Seeing these reports from the small town police station, the pupils of many senior members of Nara Prefecture shrank!
Black Hibiscus flower?
Xu Fu’s tomb?
What connection do these have with the deaths of hundreds of people?
However, when they saw the detailed report and photos sent by the police chief named Nakajima, their pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip!
Most of these photos are only at the edge of the jungle, but even so, you can still see extremely dense black mist spreading among the mountains and forests.
At the same time, they suddenly discovered black flowers from the other side of the world in the jungle on the edge of the black mist!
Especially the black diamond-like flowers behind the sacrificed police officer Kamijou Ise are even more weird!
how so!
what happened?
Logically speaking, there are no experiments in this jungle. Why does this happen?
And why is there Xu Fu’s cemetery here?
One after another, Nara Prefecture's senior officials frowned, not knowing at all what the connection between all this was!
But it is obvious that these people who died recently were indeed near this mountain, and they also dreamed of black Hibiscus flowers before they died!
"Something's wrong!"
"Block the news and send personnel there!"
"There may be something unusual about Xu Fu's tomb and this mountain range!"
The head of Nara County spoke in a deep voice, and the remaining senior officials also nodded solemnly.
However, it is obviously too late now. In just one week, countless people have learned about everything that happened here, and the news cannot be blocked.
Fortunately, the people did not know everything about the mountains and Xu Fu's tomb for the time being. Many senior members of Nara Prefecture hurriedly took action. They immediately dispatched professional investigation teams to investigate and study, and held a press conference. .
Claiming to the outside world that it was just an accidental leak of unknown radiation and poisonous gas would give the people a satisfactory explanation, and use this to start moving the people here outwards.
The inexplicable deaths of nearly a hundred people actually aroused considerable public opinion not only in Nara Prefecture, but even in the entire Sakura Country.
Fortunately, the senior leaders of Sakura controlled public opinion in a timely manner and implemented the blockade in a timely manner, which did not spread panic and the news did not reach an unstoppable level.
But even so, some of the news has spread to all parts of the world.
Faced with the news of radiation leakage in Sakura Country, many regions around the world did not take it seriously because it was a very common thing for Sakura Country. They had long been accustomed to it. They were just a little curious. What kind of radiation did people suffer?
And while many regional countries around the world did not take it to heart, only certain organizations in Daxia quietly observed all this.
"Black Higanbana?"
"A monster with six arms and four feathers, no ears, eyes, mouth or nose?"
"Nearly a hundred people died mysteriously?"
"And the Sakura Kingdom exploration team was wiped out?"
In Daxia Nancheng's Wen Dao Bureau, old man Lu Changling held the information he had painstakingly collected with his brows furrowed.
"What's happening in Nara Prefecture"
"Something is wrong, maybe we should send our Qi Refiners to investigate!"
