Chapter 58 Kunlun Sacred Tree, Corpse-scented Amorphophallus
Chapter 58 Kunlun Sacred Tree, Corpse-scented Amorphophallus
Xu Feng pondered for a moment.
He said, "How about this, let's go to the other side and take a look. If there is any danger, we will turn back immediately. How about that?!"
It's not that Xu Feng is afraid of death.
He had been through so much torture and was now exhausted and wanted to go back and have a good rest.
"it is good!"
Everyone agreed with Xu Feng's proposal.
So several people lined up in a row and walked towards the other side of the river.
suddenly.
Old Hu, who was walking at the back, spoke in a rare loud voice: "Everyone, look behind us!"
Xu Feng and the others looked back.
Just as they got onto the bridge, a lot of big rats appeared.
Each of these giant rats is as big as a rabbit.
The eyes are blood red.
At this time, he was looking at them eagerly.
These mice were the same mice that had been eating the insects on the island in the middle of the lake.
Before, they came and went in a hurry.
I didn't see what they looked like.
Now they were crouching by the bridge, staring at them hungrily, which allowed Xu Feng and the others to see clearly the appearance of these big rats.
These mice are at least three times larger than ordinary mice.
It's really about the same size as a normal rabbit.
They have barbed hair all over their bodies and look like hedgehogs. If you don't look carefully, you might really mistake them for hedgehogs.
What is most surprising is their eyes, which are round and blood red, just like rabbit's eyes.
They gathered at the bridge head, more and more, and seemed a little agitated. Many of them were walking back and forth, but their blood-red eyes were always staring at Xu Feng and his companions, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
"Everyone be careful! There's something wrong with these rats!
Old Hu reminded.
The fat man curled his lips: "Need I say more? These little beasts look too weird?!"
"Look at the look in their eyes. They simply think we are bugs!"
After the fat man finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but think of the scene of the big rat gnawing on the bugs just now, and they couldn't help but shudder.
"Fatty, shut up!"
Aning said coldly.
She has always been a talker, and it is easy to tell that she is really angry this time.
"Idiot!!"
“This Queen of Jingjue is really crazy!!
Zhang Qiling suddenly said in a hurry.
His body seemed to be frozen as he stared at the big rats.
"I finally understand why Jingjue Ancient City has become one of the top ten dangerous places."
Zhang Qiling's expression was horrified and his voice was trembling.
"Everyone, be careful. This rat is completely different from the gerbil we saw in the hall before."
“It’s a species of rat that’s now extinct.”
"They're called corpse rats!"
The fat man asked curiously, "What the hell! What the hell are corpse rats?"
"To put it bluntly, these rats only eat corpses!"
"As long as there is enough carrion, they can live up to three or four hundred years."
"But because they have been eating all kinds of rotten meat for a long time, all kinds of toxins have accumulated in their bodies for a long time. So these corpse rats are a super virus reservoir. If you are scratched or bitten by them, you will immediately be infected with various deadly viruses. There is no cure..."
Zhang Qiling didn't finish his words.
But everyone has completely understood it.
"Damn it, this ancient country of Jingjue actually raised something that brought disaster to the country and the people?! They are totally devoid of conscience!!"
The fat man cursed loudly.
"That's right! If these corpse rats escape and enter human settlements, it will be a disaster!!"
Shirley Yang said with a look of disbelief on her face.
Aning sneered: "You should think about ourselves first! These rats are eyeing us covetously. We might become their food soon."
Seeing more and more dead rats gathering, the six people were terrified.
"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"
Xu Feng summoned the Ghost Sword.
Then he took out the fairy wine gourd from the ring and handed it to Shirley Yang.
“Pour gasoline on the bridge!!!”
"quick!!!"
Shirley Yang was stunned for a moment, then took the gourd and immediately began pouring gasoline onto the bridge.
The unique pungent smell of gasoline immediately spread over the stone bridge.
Xu Feng is extremely grateful now.
I spent hundreds of millions to buy this fairy wine gourd.
It is indeed a must-have treasure for home travel.
Not to mention storing water and drinks.
The stored alcohol and gasoline alone saved him countless times.
"Yes! Rats are afraid of fire. If we set this place on fire, it should be able to stop them!!!"
The fat man suddenly realized.
"You retreat to the gasoline side first! I'll tell you to light the fire later, so hurry up and light it!"
Xu Feng stared at the dead rats and said in a deep voice.
The fat man wanted to stay, but was stopped by Lao Hu.
"We are behind him and can come to Xiao Xu's aid at any time. Besides, Xiao Xu is alone, so he won't be a burden and will be able to escape more easily!!"
Upon hearing this, the fat man hesitated for a moment, then followed Lao Hu and the others to retreat.
When the corpse rats saw that Lao Hu and his companions seemed to be leaving, they could not wait any longer.
The most impatient corpse rats that kept walking back and forth could not hold back and launched the attack first, rushing towards Xu Feng on the stone bridge.
"ignition!!"
Xu Feng looked at Lao Hu and the others, immediately poured his internal energy into the soles of his feet, jumped up with force, and shouted loudly at the same time.
behind him.
After Xu Feng removed the power of the Demon Lord, the pressure on the corpse rats suddenly disappeared. They were a little confused at first.
Why did that terrifying aura disappear?
Wait until you see Xu Feng running away.
They shuddered.
The food is running out?!
Suddenly.
They are catching up.
In an instant, countless corpse rats swarmed onto the stone bridge.
Fatty here.
Received the order from Xu Feng to light the fire.
He immediately threw the lighter in his hand into the gasoline.
boom!
The flames instantly rose.
Then it spread rapidly along the oil pond at lightning speed.
In an instant.
Most of the stone bridge was set on fire.
Xu Feng also landed safely under the concerned gazes of Shirley Yang and Aning.
He looked back.
I saw a group of dead rats rushing into the oil pool.
Their bodies were immediately covered with gasoline.
Wait for the flame to burn over.
They instantly turned into a ball of fire.
It made a squeaking sound and rolled around in the fire, screaming.
The other corpse rats behind saw this.
They all stopped outside the fire.
I saw that the flames really stopped those corpse rats.
Xu Feng and his companions immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"These fires won't stop them for long, let's go!"
Xu Feng said.
Everyone else nodded.
The group quickly ran into the big cave behind.
In the cave.
Although there are no forks in the road and the whole road leads to the end, it has many twists and turns.
They walked for a long time but still didn't reach the end.
Just when they were wondering if they had encountered another trap like the Soul-hanging Ladder or the Ghost Wall.
at last.
They reached the end.
"here it is………"
Everyone was stunned at the dreamlike scene in front of them!
It is the exit of the cave.
Outside the exit was the bottomless abyss cave.
But this time, they saw a stone beam hanging in the air.
This stone beam extended right from the exit of their cave. It was thin and long, extending just above the bottomless abyss.
The edge of the stone beam is engraved with obscure runes.
They were exactly the same runes as the ones they had seen on the murals in the corridor before.
The most important thing is that at the end of the stone beam, there is a huge piece of wood.
The wood is more than two meters in diameter and looks like a section of a large tree, which has been cut directly without any processing. The branches on the trunk are still there, and there are even many green leaves growing on it.
More than a dozen large iron chains were tied to the trunks of the logs, connected to stone beams, and fixed the huge trees to the ground.
What was even more peculiar was that there was a huge green flower growing on this piece of wood. The flower was as big as a large bucket, with a small mouth and a thick belly. The petals were curled together and were emerald green all over. There was a large blood-red leaf around each side and the flower had taken root in the wood. Its branches and vines, together with the large iron chain, tightly wrapped around the piece of wood.
Everyone was shocked by the amazing sight before them.
Even if it is Xu Feng.
He knew that this should be the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue.
He had also read the description of this plot in the original novel and watched related TV drama clips.
But neither the novel nor the TV series could describe even a fraction of the amazing sight before our eyes.
"This, this, this is the Kunlun sacred tree!!"
An excited voice broke the silence and woke everyone up.
Everyone looked at the person who spoke.
It was Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling looked at the huge tree with his eyes shining and his cheeks trembling with excitement.
"Kunlun Sacred Tree?!"
Xu Feng asked curiously.
In fact, he had already seen the information prompt, but he saw that Zhang Qiling seemed to know it very well, so he deliberately inquired about the news.
[Item name]: Kunlun sacred tree
[Item Level]: Ninth-grade spiritual material
[Item Ability]: Nirvana Rebirth
[Item Description]: A piece of trunk from the Kunlun sacred tree, with the magical effect of nirvana rebirth and resurrection from the dead.
The fat man rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly: "This thing is a treasure, right? Hehe..."
As he said this, he was about to step forward.
Xu Feng grabbed him and said, "Fatty, don't act rashly!"
The fat man looked at Xu Feng in confusion: "Young Master Xu, what are you afraid of? At most, the Queen of Jingjue will come back to life. We have killed many zombies along the way. She is just a woman, how powerful can she be?!"
Xu Feng stared at him: "Fatty, didn't you see the flower on the coffin?"
The fat man sensed Xu Feng's seriousness and immediately lowered his voice. "Young Master Xu, are you saying that there is something strange about that flower?!"
Xu Feng nodded.
The fat man immediately took two steps back and looked at the flower in surprise. "It looks so strange, I thought it was a giant taro. I was also wondering, how could a plant grow on this coffin? Could it be that if we bury the queen as a seed in the sacred tree, she will sprout and bloom?"
Xu Feng was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, then he looked at Zhang Qiling: "Captain Zhang, do you know this flower?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head: "I haven't seen it, but I think it's very strange."
Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't have any more information, Xu Feng said, "This flower is called the corpse-scented arum. It is an extremely rare plant. I'm afraid there is only one left in the world, and this plant is very dangerous."
Corpse-scented konjac? !
