(Self-talk before the main text: My pace is really too slow. My friend told me that you have to have intense conflicts at the beginning, and then you have to have waves of climaxes one after another.

It's a pity, I think The world I want to describe with words is not like that. I should lay the groundwork little by little according to my temperament. Words are pigments and ink. What I want is a long scroll with majestic and majestic brushwork. It's beyond my ability to create arbitrary freehand landscapes.

"What!"
Yanxuan was shocked when he heard that the two holes turned out to be two eyes. He turned back to look at the two dark hole entrances in disbelief.
The owner of the natural eyes should have died a long time ago, otherwise how could the monster build a nest inside, but... if those two holes are really eyes, what kind of dead head was left here, something like that , how huge such a monster must be...
"Two eyes..." After hearing this, Lu Pingchuan squinted and looked at the two holes, and then said, "Well, it sounds quite similar. Hey, Brother Qian, let me help you!"
Two eyes!
The hole that Qian Chao got into before turned out to be just an eye socket!
Then he discovered something strange in the hole, and then he poked out another eye socket that was covered by earth and rocks!
Eye sockets!
The socket of one eye can actually allow a person to get in by bending slightly!
What on earth is this? How big it would be, the eye socket would be like a hole!
Because of Lu Pingchuan's help, the excavation was not going slowly.
Lu Pingchuan was very strong, so Qian Chao asked him to dig up along the mound, and told him not to dig through, but to dig down all the earth and rocks above.
Qian Chao himself dug deeper.
Gradually, Tang Ping and the others could see more and more clearly.
Along the two eye socket-like holes, Qian Chao removed a slowly extending, clear-cut bone like a jawbone. Several people also saw that as the earth and stone were cleared away, between the jawbones Below, sharp teeth as thick as the waist are exposed in the soil, but those sharp teeth are still buried in the soil, and the end of the jaw has been cleaned by Qian Chao, which is a medium-sized hole. There should be the nasal bones.
Lu Pingchuan dug out almost all the earth and rocks on the hill, exposing almost all the buried features. The earth and rocks between the two entrances and above and below were cleared away, and the slightly raised eyes above the two eye sockets were removed. The brow bone and the rounded parietal bone above reveal the true appearance.
Tang Ping and the others were tired of watching. Qian Chao was squatting on his frontal bone covered with a row of sharp teeth and cleaning it carefully. Lu Pingchuan seemed to have finished his work and was standing on his round parietal bone with arms akimbo, watching carefully. feet.
What the two of them were standing on turned out to be a ferocious skull as big as a hillock, and the two hole-like eye sockets were facing Tang Ping and the others, seemingly staring at them!
"Oh my god!" Yanxuan murmured, "This is... this... what kind of thing has such a big head!"
Li Jian said nothing, he was also shocked by what he saw.
The same was true for Tang Ping. Looking at the huge skull, she searched rapidly in her mind for any monster or spiritual beast with a head like this. But even if it looked like this, how could it be so huge?
Qian Chao stood up and looked at Lu Pingchuan behind him, and found that his place seemed to be finished. He looked at Tang Ping, who was standing dumbfounded, and then walked closer to the eye socket of the skull. It still smelled bad, but he still I got in, and it took me half a cup of tea to get out again.
"Brother Lu, leave the rest to me." Qian Chao said.
"Yeah" Lu Pingchuan agreed and jumped off the huge skull.
Stretching out his hands, Qian Chao used his best ability to control objects to the extreme. He completely wrapped the hill-like skull with spiritual energy, and then slowly and steadily lifted it up from the earth.
The earth and rocks on the skull fell one after another, and then the huge skull was dragged by Qian Chao to an open grassland nearby and placed down.
"Good boy, hehe!" This was the first time in his life for Lu Pingchuan to see such a big skull. He couldn't help but be very excited. He turned to Tang Ping and asked, "Sister Tang, what kind of thing has such a big head?"
Tang Ping just shook her head. She couldn't recognize the skull of a monster now.
"Can't you recognize it?" Qian Chao also asked.
"I...well, I really can't recognize it. I can't think of any monster that looks like this," Tang Ping said, and then she thought of something. "Is there anything else down there? Is it possible that there is only one head?"
"It seems to be gone. I just looked at it. Wait, I'll go take a look again." Qian Chao said.
The hillock that was originally formed by this huge skull has become a big pit now that the skull has been dug out. Qian Chao searched the pit carefully and confirmed that there might be something under the soil here. There were no other bones connected to the huge skull nearby, but a few pieces of very good-quality ore were found, which was an unexpected gain.
"No more," Qian Chao returned to the group and said, "There is only one skull here."
Hearing Qian Chao's words, Yanxuan was very surprised and said, "Could it be that... this thing... was beheaded?"
These words aroused Li Jian's interest. He walked behind the big skull and looked carefully at the broken bones, but nothing could be seen.
"It's hard to say." Qian Chao got closer to the huge skull. "It's too old. Look, this bone is almost as stone-like. Who knows how this guy died back then."
Because there was already a lot of soil attached to the skull, Qian Chao frowned and took out a spiritual sword. He held the sword in his left hand and clasped the thumb and index fingers of his right hand together. When the two fingers glowed slightly, he flicked it on the skull. There was a trembling "buzz" sound on the Spirit Sword, and all the soil on the huge skull was seen fluttering away. The entire skull was as clean as if it had been washed with water, but it had been buried in the soil for too long. , the bones that should have been dim moon white were mottled by the earthy color.
The five people looked around the skull with curiosity. In front of these five people, the skull was as big as a painting boat.
The five of them had not seen huge monsters before, such as the Mountain Bearing Beast and the Mountain Guarding Beast that were carrying a mountain on their backs. If those two big guys had died, their skulls would have been much larger than the one in front of them. There was also the island of giant trees where the spiritual spring water was found, the big wood beast that finally emerged from the hole, and of course the equally large sparrow. Their skulls seemed to be much smaller than the one in front of them. It's just that the five of them have seen living monsters before, and they have also seen dead ones, but this is the first time they have seen such a big skull.
Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping again with curiosity. Among the five, Tang Ping was the most proficient in the study of monsters, and she should be the most likely to recognize the skull of a monster.
It's just that what Tang Ping has learned and known are all living monsters. Those spiritual beasts with flesh and blood, fur and fur, and spirituality intact are what she has learned. What Fairy Guhuo taught is dead. , even those that have turned into skeletons, are really areas that she has not touched.
Lu Pingchuan remained silent, just looking left and right at the big skull. Then he suddenly said, "What do you think this looks like?"
After hearing what he said, several people looked over.
"Brother Lu, tell me quickly, what kind of skull is this?"
Seeing several of his companions looking at him, Lu Pingchuan said: "Hey, I used to go hunting with my father when I was at home. We hunted a lot of wolves in the mountains. The wolf meat was average, but the wolf skin was pretty good. The meat on the wolf's head was pretty good. If it's all rotten and only the bones are left, it's quite similar to this big guy, but there's a big difference in size, but it's really similar, I used to play with wolf heads a lot."
After listening to Lu Pingchuan's words, Tang Ping's heart suddenly became brighter. When she looked at the huge skull, it did look a bit like it. If the skull had blood, flesh and fur, it would really look a bit like it. It’s a wolf head, but it’s not necessarily a wolf. In addition to wolves, the skulls of dogs and foxes probably look similar to this. Alas, it’s too big to judge.
Li Jian stepped forward, stretched out his hand, tapped his finger on the skull, and sighed: "It seems that this guy has been dead for who knows how long. His bones are really like stones."
Seeing him like this, Yanxuan also reached out and touched it. As expected, it was heavy and hard. He didn't know how long this big skull had been buried in the soil, but it was actually made into a nest by several monsters and beasts and lived in it.
What's the use of this thing? Qian Chao thought in his heart. You can imagine his surprise when he discovered that the evil-faced tamarin's lair was actually the skull and skeleton of a monster. He was also a naturally curious person. Since he had discovered something incomprehensible, Naturally, I want to get it out to find out. Although I have looked carefully now, I still don’t know the origin of this guy, and... what is the use of this thing?
During the excavation, Qian Chao discovered that this thing was almost completely petrified. It was almost an ordinary stone. Of course, it was much harder than ordinary stone. But even so, for the art of refining, the skull was not even half useful.
If there weren't so many ugly colors on this thing, I could get a larger study room in the future and put it in as an ornament. Well, that might be good, but the colors on this big skull are so mixed now that it would be even more ugly when displayed.
Then this thing seems useless.
"I want to take it back and show it to my master. She should know what kind of monster skull this is."
Tang Ping said as she took out an empty storage bag. If this bag contained the skull, it might not be able to hold anything else.
"A Ping, what's the use of this thing?" Looking at Tang Ping's satisfied look, Yan Xuan asked her curiously.
"Well... let's just say it's about learning," Tang Ping said, "Sister Yan, I'm from the Yuling Sect. Naturally, the more knowledge I have about these spiritual beasts and monsters, the better. I can't recognize this skull, but look at it. It actually looks a bit like the wolf head Brother Lu mentioned, but the wolf I know that can give birth to such a big wolf, oh no, it should be said that the real wolf with such a big body should be in the extreme north of our Central Continent. , shouldn’t be here, so I was curious, so I went back and asked my master for advice. By the way, Mr. Qian, please write down this place. I will talk to my master when I get back."
Qian Chao nodded after hearing this, took out the map and started marking it.
Tang Ping continued: "Actually, I still have a guess about this skull. Well, it's just a guess."
Hearing this, Qian Chao stopped the pen in his hand and asked, "What's your guess? Tell me."
Tang Ping walked up to the big skull, put one hand on it, and said, "I think everyone has heard of the legends about the 'Millennium War' and the 'Cross-Sea War' in Central Continent, right?"
Naturally, several people have heard of this legend. Even Yanxuan heard it mentioned in Qixia Mountain. At that time, it was just a story.
"Of course I've heard of it. What does this story have to do with this big skull?" Yanxuan asked.
"The Thousand-Year War did not happen here, but the cross-sea battle after the Thousand-Year War, our Five Spirit Sect area was the battlefield of that war. There was no Five Spirit Sect at that time, and there were only five major sects in Central Continent. Sect, the monks from the five major sects joined forces and fought a protracted battle with the monks from outside the territory here. It is said that this battle was more intense than the Thousand Years War, and more people died."
Having said this, Tang Ping patted the big skull.
"This thing, although my knowledge of spiritual beasts is limited, I also know that such spiritual beasts can only be found in the far north of Central Continent. Such spiritual beasts are extremely difficult to find, let alone tame. Moreover, such spiritual beasts are extremely difficult to find, let alone tame. It is also impossible to kill the spiritual beast..."
"Why is that?" Li Jian asked.
"That kind of spiritual beast is called a true spirit beast. Although it is not as divine as a dragon or a phoenix, it is the ancestor of the wolf in the world and is called the Great Sirius. In front of the Great Sirius, even if it is the Nascent Soul A monk of this level is as vulnerable as a child!"
