Chapter 80 Living Sacrifice
I quickly found the grass juice that Ouyang Mo gave me and handed it to Liu Xing. After taking it, she looked at me coldly and explained when she saw me staring at the bird on the ground.
"This is a long-calling bird. It is also called a baby bird because its sound resembles that of a baby."
"Baby bird." I said this thoughtfully. This naked bird curled up with a metal silver ring on its head does not look like a child, but I have never heard of it.
A creature like a baby bird.
"But why is this thing here..."
"It can't see light, and if it touches a metal object outside, it will immediately go into hibernation. It would be more suitable for the chirping bird to live here."
There are no metal objects in this place, and it is isolated from the world and cannot see any light. The chirping bird cannot see light, so it is normal to live here.
"So..." I looked at the chirping bird on the ground and said, "What happened just now was because of the chirping bird?"
"I don't know." Liu Xing said in a deep voice and looked at Chen Shandao, "I always feel that something is wrong with this place. All things are interdependent. Since there is a singing bird, it must have its natural enemy."
"So the sound just now was not that of a chirping bird, but that of an unknown creature in the cave?"
My back felt cold, and I looked at Liu Xing passively. No matter how interested I was, I didn't want to step into this cave again. It was scarier than that underground palace.
But the most important thing is how did Liu Xing catch Jiuchingniao?
Also, what was Liu Xing’s purpose in catching Jiuchingniao?
Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Xing thought I was afraid. He slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Shan on the ground. He helped Chen Shan up with one hand and said, "We'd better get out of here as soon as possible."
"Yeah." I nodded and followed Liu Xing. The two of us changed to the cave on the right, but we didn't expect that greater danger would follow.
Different from the tense atmosphere just now, this cave was obviously much quieter. During this period, I wanted to help hold Chen Shan up, but she just shook her head and kept walking in front.
But this cave seemed to have no end, until finally I heard Liu Xing's low breathing, and then she knelt heavily on the ground. Chen Shan was forced to fall to the ground, and he looked normal after drinking Qingyang grass juice.
A lot.
A pair of eyes fixed on me, pointing to the back. Before I could react, I felt something grab my back. I turned around in horror to face a particularly hideous and terrifying face. The liquid on it was not...
It stopped falling and landed on my facial features. My facial features were sealed by this liquid and I could hardly breathe.
He struggled to run to the side, but the Qianyang Sword appeared from nowhere at this time and pierced the monster directly. The monster fell heavily to the ground with a hysterical scream.
The sound coming out of the nostrils is exactly the same as the sound heard in the cave on the left.
I was so frightened that I backed away repeatedly. Chen Shan walked to me impatiently and helped me up: "Are you okay?"
"What on earth is this?" I looked at the things on the ground in confusion. From the moment I saw the candle dragon, everything developed in an uncontrollable direction.
The things I once saw in textbooks actually appeared in front of me, and now I won't be surprised no matter what strange things I see.
I'm just curious that the natural enemy of the long-calling bird is such a big monster.
"I don't know." Chen Shan looked at Liu Xing and took a deep breath. When Chen Shan said this, I walked to the edge, sat down, and lit a cigarette. Just as I was about to calm down, I vaguely saw the monster raising its head and looking towards me.
, that look is somewhat familiar.
I couldn't remember it for a moment, I just put the cigarette in my mouth and looked at Liu Xing doubtfully, hesitated for a moment and said, "That thing seems to be able to smoke?"
As I said that, I stood up carefully and walked to the monster. I gestured to the cigarette in my hand and it didn't refuse when I saw it. I carefully put the cigarette into its mouth, but the monster just chewed it.
I couldn't help laughing when I saw this and was about to go back when I heard the monster's hysterical voice.
Even Liu Xing didn't expect the monster to be so strange, but he grabbed me and threw me to the side, and then made an attack movement.
Chen Shan said darkly in my ear: "What on earth did you just do?"
I felt aggrieved. The monster kept staring at me, so I naturally felt that it might need it, and maybe it could let us go after taking advantage of me. But who would have thought that something like this would happen later, and I would offend the monster myself.
Don't want to either.
"Stop talking." Liu Xing lowered his voice and carefully took out the Jiucing Bird, gently took off the bracelet around its neck, and then carefully let go of the Jiucing Bird.
As the Jiuciao bird slowly flew up, the bare Jiuciao bird's body was soon covered with feathers, its body enlarged infinitely, and it kept waving its wings towards the monster on the ground.
When Liu Xing saw this, he whistled, and the long-calling bird became huge and flew directly towards the monster on the ground.
At this critical moment, along with the chirping of birds, I saw the monster on the ground gradually transform into a human.
Seeing the situation on the ground, Liu Xing gritted his teeth and tried his best to fly directly to the Jiucing Bird. It took almost a lot of effort to catch the Jiucing Bird.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the bracelet was put back on Jiucingniao's neck. As soon as Jiucingniao came into contact with the metal, it shrank back to its original state, naked and huddled on the ground motionless.
When Liu Xing walked to the ground and saw the face on the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is it him?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shan took out a flashlight and shone it on the face of the man on the ground. His expression was a bit complicated and unpredictable.
"How could it be Song Zixuan?" Not only the two of them, but also me were a little surprised. What happened when we entered the underground palace to make Song Zixuan become like this.
Liu Xing whispered: "No wonder I haven't been able to find his whereabouts. It turns out it's because of this."
Then he lifted Song Zixuan and put it aside, took out the medical kit and carefully bandaged Song Zixuan's wounds.
Just as he was carefully lighting a fire in this small space, Chen Shan rarely spoke and his face looked a little strange. Liu Xing looked at Song Zixuan on the ground with a complicated look, and said coldly: "The person has been found, we can return the way we came.
.”
"It has reached this point and it is impossible to go back."
Chen Shan finally spoke and looked at Song Zixuan on the ground complicatedly.
"Also! Don't tell anyone about Song Zixuan."
Liu Xing's eyes moved as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason he remained silent.
After several people rested for more than three hours, Chen Shan proposed to get up and continue setting off.
Liu Xing has been acting strange since she entered the cave. She has no relationship with me and is unwilling to let me enter the cave.
And looking at Jiuweiniao's fighting power, we knew that she couldn't catch it easily, so something must have happened.
But what makes me feel a little strange now is that this place has nothing to do with the northwest Qilin Mountain. If it doesn't matter, why does Chen Shan have to go in.
Our original purpose of entering this cave was to find the whereabouts of Song Zixuan.
While he was thinking wildly, he saw Song Zixuan on the ground twitching non-stop, looking very scary!
Liu Xing directly grabbed Song Zixuan, took out the rope from the backpack and tied up Song Zixuan.
Seeing my confused look, he frowned and explained: "He has turned into that monster. The sound of the chirping bird just stimulated him, so he became like this!"
"But... we need to find an antidote as soon as possible, otherwise he may never become a human again!"
So all the problems have returned to their original point. Regardless of Chen Shan's selfishness or not, as long as we want to save Song Zixuan's life, we can only choose to move forward.
"Bang -" followed by a loud noise, the sound of chirping birds came from the cave on the left.
Liu Xing and I looked at each other, immediately picked up Song Zixuan and turned back to look in the direction of Chen Shan.
"Leave quickly!"
The four of us set off in a hurry. We don't know how long we ran, but our bodies seemed to have no strength at all, and only the instinct in our bodies kept running.
Finally, Chen Shan was so tired that he sat down on the ground, not even bothering to wipe off the sweat on his head: "I can't do it anymore."
"That." I looked back at Chen Shan and couldn't bear it. After all, he was already a middle-aged man over fifty. If it weren't for the curse, he wouldn't be like this.
Liusu's face suddenly flashed in his mind. That man was so powerful and had eternal life, but judging from his attitude towards Ouyang Mo, he didn't seem to care about eternal life.
Just like this Chen Shan, he obviously has the face of a young man, but his body can no longer support him.
Liu Xing looked back at the direction he came from, then looked at Chen Shan who couldn't move on the ground and nodded: "You guys rest here, I'll watch."
"Forget it." I held Liu Xing and sighed, "You must have been very tired just now. That long-crowing bird probably won't catch up so quickly. I'll go outside and watch."
The most important thing is that I need to find out what happened with the violent noise just now.
Liu Xing did not refuse after hearing this. He gave me a complicated look and took out the dry food and handed it to me: "Be careful."
I nodded, then walked to the corner and sat down. I stared at the direction not far away for a long time to make sure that the sound came from below.
When Liu Xing fell from above, we should have been above Tianchi. There was a water cave underneath. The water passing through this water cave would reach the hot springs above Qingfeng Mountain.
So if someone releases a bomb underground, it is possible to make such a loud noise, but I don’t understand what their purpose is?
My head was spinning rapidly, and soon I finally understood, with a flash of panic in my eyes, that they were going to bury the three of us alive.
Shangyang Village’s so-called sacrifice of using peony jade pendants in exchange for the longevity of living people is just one-sided. They want to use the three of us to sacrifice to the mountain god alive and trap us in this place forever.
Thinking of this, I almost stumbled to where I was just now, only to find that Liu Xing and the others were nowhere to be seen.
