Chapter 2394 Strange
"This stone sculpture seems to be a living creature!"
Lin Chen said seriously, pulling Doctor Bird's mouth back.
At the same time, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone sculpture, and gravel continued to fall. Soon, the entire surface peeled off completely, revealing a strange flower as tall as a man.
This flower is exactly the same as the one carved on the stone before, with buds like sunflowers, but underneath there are legs like tree roots.
After the flower was resurrected, it seemed that she had not yet reacted and was shaking in place.
"Go quickly!"
Lin Chen shouted in a low voice, pulled the doctor's beak and backed away.
At this moment, a vine shot out quickly and wrapped around Dr. Bird's Beak's thigh. The vine was full of thorns and scratched Dr. Bird's Beak's thigh.
Lin Chen clearly saw a black liquid flowing into Dr. Bird's Beak's leg! It was poisonous! And Lin Chen even realized that the poison was exactly the same as the poison in Mr. Darren.
"Break!"
The Red Shadow Sword appeared in Lin Chen's hand, and he slashed the vines. The vines were cut off by the sharp sword, but soon, a large number of vines shot out and entangled Doctor Bird's Beak again.
Doctor Beak was not weak, but he immediately became weak after being stabbed by the thorns of the vine.
"Doctor Lin Chen, leave me alone!"
He shouted at Lin Chen.
And when he fell to the ground, he could find that the stone sculptures around him were shaking, and the strange flowers all around him had awakened.
"Half Phoenix Flame!"
Lin Chen threw flames towards the ground, and the vines were burned by the fire, and they were finally taken back.
Lin Chen took the opportunity to pull Doctor Bird's Beak, put it on his back, and immediately ran forward.
At the same time, all the strange flowers in the rear were resurrected, chasing Lin Chen one after another.
"How come there is such a strange flower in the world? Is it a plant, an animal, or an insect?"
Doctor Bird's Beak is trembling now.
"This is not surprising. There is Cordyceps Sinensis in China, which is actually similar to this flower!"
Lin Chen frowned and said: "You are poisoned now, the same as Mr. Darren, so we can be sure that we have found this poison!"
After a pause, he added: "Now, let's leave here first, and then look around to see if there is an antidote!"
As he spoke, the flowers from behind were also chasing after them quickly. What surprised Lin Chen and the two was that these flowers were extremely fast and agile.
Moreover, they not only run on the ground, but also on mountain tops and rock walls. The thorns on their vines are extremely sharp and can hook onto smooth rock walls.
Lin Chen didn't dare to stop, he also lost his flashlight, and rushed forward with all his strength.
At this time, a bright light appeared in front of us, and it seemed that we had reached the end.
After rushing out, Lin Chen found that he was on the other side of the mountain. There were ancient buildings on the land in front of him, like a kingdom, and the entire kingdom was also surrounded by majestic black mountains.
Afterwards, Lin Chen ran down the mountain road.
At the same time, those strange flowers also chased out, their speed was faster, after all, they were going down the cliff wall.
As a last resort, when he was still a hundred meters away from the bottom of the cliff, Lin Chen jumped down. After landing on the ground, he ran towards the ancient city without thinking.
After entering, the strange thing is that all the strange flowers that I was chasing after have disappeared.
Lin Chen slowed down and paid careful attention to his surroundings.
"Doctor Beak, how are you?"
"I'm not dead yet, but I found that there seems to be something weird inside my body, running around!"
"hold onto!"
Lin Chen quickened his pace, and suddenly, stone tablets appeared in front of him, with strange paintings carved on them.
"Wait a minute, these ancient paintings should contain information about this ancient city!"
Dr. Birdbill shouted, and the two of them started looking along the ancient paintings.
In the first painting, a man wearing a mask appeared, and countless people were kneeling to worship him. It was obvious that this man should be a priest or something.
In the second painting, a large number of strange flowers began to appear, and everyone was kneeling before the strange flowers.
The third painting shows strange flowers growing on the mountain, and a large number of people are tied up in chains at the foot of the mountain.
In the fourth painting, the mountain split open and a large number of strange flowers rushed into the ancient city.
The fourth painting was obviously not finished. It was probably because the strange flower rushed in and everyone died.
"Are these strange flowers raised by people in the ancient city?"
Doctor Bird's Beak guessed: "It's just that what did the people in ancient times do with these strange flowers?"
Lin Chen frowned and pondered, guessing: "In order to live forever, the strange flower has the ability to make people live forever, and the food of the strange flower is human beings. The two complement each other!"
"Until there was an earthquake, strange flowers rushed into the ancient city and killed people crazily. Everyone in the ancient country died!"
"And without humans as nourishment, the strange flowers are also sleeping!"
"This is also the reason why the strange flower woke up after you touched it!"
Doctor Niubi also agreed with Lin Chen's guess. He just had one doubt: "Can these strange flowers really make people live forever?"
Lin Chen immediately shook his head. In order to live forever, people in ancient times were willing to try anything, such as mercury-containing elixirs and so on.
"Look at this high priest, does the mask he wears give people a strange feeling?"
Lin Chen said again.
Doctor Bird's Beak looked at the paintings on the rock and nodded immediately.
I saw the high priest painted on the rock. He was wearing a large cloak and a big mask. The thing painted on the mask looked like a flower.
"Look there are many chains at the bottom of the cliff!"
Lin Chen pointed to the black mountain in the distance.
I saw densely packed chains under the cliff, and each chain tied a white bone. There were too many, and they were probably former slaves.
After the fall of the ancient country, these slaves had no food and drink, and were tied up in chains. They either starved to death or were sucked to death by strange flowers! Moreover, their bones were all black, indicating that they were all poisoned.
The most terrifying thing is that these poisons prevent bones from melting for thousands of years.
"Go to the city and have a look, maybe there will be an antidote!"
Lin Chen carried Doctor Birdbill on his back and then entered the stone houses to search.
I saw that except for the ancient stone table and bed, there was nothing inside.
After so many years, everything except the stones has weathered.
After a search, there was nothing in the city, and the two of them felt extremely strange walking in the empty city.
"Dr. Lin Chen, I don't know if I'm timid, but here, I feel like there are many eyes staring at us!"
Doctor Bird's Beak looked around and whispered: "And, I think I heard someone talking!"
"That's the sound of the wind!"
"Although the ancient city is surrounded by mountains, the wind blows through the gaps in the mountains, causing strange noises and making people feel like someone is talking!"
Lin Chen comforted.
Rumble! At this time, earth-shattering sounds came from all around, and the black mountains all around were shaking, like an earthquake.
"I understand, it's an underground river!"
Doctor Beak suddenly thought of something: "There is a rich underground river under this desert. Whenever the river water rises or sinks, this mountain will be affected!"
