Chapter 194: The Land of Life and Death
The meaning of the sentence 'when the sun sets' obviously refers to which side is 'that side of the mountain'. To the west, 'on the ground level', these two directions are like a point where two lines meet, where the treasure is buried.
With the whereabouts of the treasure, everyone got excited. Although this was just a guess, everyone felt it made sense and felt that the treasure must be in that place.
Alice looked at Bing Zhixie, she was happy, from the bottom of her heart.
A group member asked: "Are we still looking for the mountains here?"
"Looking for nothing." Carter scolded happily: "Why are you still working here? Tomorrow morning we will go find the real treasure."
Bertha said: "'When the sun sets When the time comes, the road to the treasure is opened, and the guardians wake up from their sleep.' These words are easy to understand, but the last sentence, 'On a full moon night, only the wise can find the key to the treasure.' Judging from these two sentences. , our future is still unknown. ."
Carter said: "Bertha, don't let everyone down. How can we know what's going on until we get there? It's just the guards mentioned in the riddle. Will wake up, I don’t know what it is, it seems there is a battle going on.”
Bing Zhixie was still thinking about it as she looked at the map, because if she wanted to hunt for treasure, she would have to go back and go to the west. , which will waste more time.
Jack knew what he was worried about: "Hey, brother, let's go with us. We don't know what will happen when we get there. You have such a smart mind, maybe there is something else you need to solve. ”
"Yes, yes, master, master, let's go." Of course Alice wanted to go, after all the effort, how could she not be willing to see the treasure.
Bing Zhixie is not a very hesitant person. The matter has already reached this point anyway, and it is not far behind in the next few days. The important thing is to let Alice grow up quickly and let her see some things. , otherwise it will be dangerous wherever he goes in the future: "Okay."
Sang Duo glanced at Bing Zhixie and the others. This time she didn't say anything, but she didn't say anything nice either. Maybe after she In my heart, outsiders are always outsiders.
Icebeard raised his head and looked left and right. Of course he was also one of those who would be taken away. Jack wanted to repay him well.
After a night's rest, we set off the next day. Although the injuries of the wounded in the team have not healed yet, it will not be a problem if they are left on the Dragon King Crab. It is estimated that their bone injuries will be healed by magic before they reach their destination, which will only take a few days.
There weren't many monsters in the forest and snowy plains, so this time it went very smoothly, and we basically reached the place marked on the map without encountering any difficulties on the way.
Bertha said: "It should be right here."
The map must be a map after all, and there is no way to reach a specific place.
Jack said: "That's it."
Bertha wondered why the leader was so sure, but she knew the reason from his eyes.
Different from the dense pine forests elsewhere, the trees here are very sparse, with one branch in the east and one branch in the west. They grow very differently. In a small open space not far away, a few trees looked a bit obvious and abrupt.
Actually, it’s not that these trees are really unusual. Ordinary people wouldn’t pay attention if they passed by here. It’s just that they came here with a purpose. Naturally, they felt strange when they saw the distribution of these trees. conspicuous.
Bing Zhixie suddenly jumped into the air, flying higher and higher. Only when he was in the air could he have a full view of the trees here. Seeing this desolate place that was completely different from the lush woods elsewhere, and then taking a closer look at the distribution of the trees, he was startled: "This is..."
When Jack saw Bing Zhixie fall, his expression Youyi: "What's wrong?"
Bing Zhixie frowned slightly and said: "This is the 'land of life and death'."
"The land of life and death!!" Everyone's expressions changed when they heard these words.
But Alice didn’t understand: “What is the land of life and death?”
Eshuson pulled her and said: “The land of life and death is very complicated. Simply put, it is the place of the dead. The place of resurrection."
"The resurrection of the dead..." Alice was startled, looked at her feet, and immediately dared not say anything.
Bersha said: "Is this really a place of death and life?" "Yes." Bing Zhixie nodded and said: "Excluding the surroundings, just looking at the distribution of trees in this area, it is based on the formation of the 'world of the afterlife' The magic star array in the 'afterlife' is a magic star array that exchanges life for death. The tree is used for living and the corpse is used for death. The life energy obtained by the tree during the day becomes the energy for the awakening of the dead at night. Origin.”
Carter was startled: "In other words, this is really a place to hide treasures!"
"If your riddle is correct." Bingzhixie said.
Everyone looked at each other and backed away, exiting the open space. It was already afternoon when they arrived here, and the night was now turning west, and it was almost dusk.
"When the sun sets, the path to the treasure is opened, and the guardians wake up from their deep sleep." A member secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The awakened guards are..."
"Immortal zombies!" Jack gritted his teeth secretly.
Sando said: "Cousin, do we still want to look for treasure?"
"Yes, of course." It was Carter who spoke, and he deliberately raised his voice very high to He was emboldened, but he didn't think that this would show his guilty conscience.
Every member of the group felt a little heavier.
At this time, Bertha still had the talent to boost morale and said: "Brothers, there are mountains of treasures right in front of us. After entering the mountains of treasures, do you still want to return empty-handed?"
When it comes to the treasure, everyone's eyes light up and they are eager to do something big.
But Bing Zhixie looked at Jack secretly. Until now, he had not taken the lead to say a decisive word, letting his subordinates do everything. In this way, the members of the group do not know what he is thinking, so they naturally feel that he is unfathomable and does not make decisions easily, so he is less likely to make mistakes. Use the opinions of the group members for his own use. If it suits his own needs, he will agree to it. If it doesn't fit his opinion, he will find a way to get the group members to deny it. If he makes a mistake, he will just agree with the opinions of the group members. Such a person seems to be influenced by the members, but in fact he has the qualities that a leader should have.
Seeing that everyone was eager to give it a try, Jack said: "Do you have any other opinions on Bertha's statement?"
"No!"
"Okay."< br>
Carter also shouted: "I won't give up until I see the treasure."
"But, what should we do?"
Carter waved his ax and said: "Since we are using trees as an array , then cut down the tree.”
“It’s useless,” Bing Zhixie said, “If you want to keep it. If this array operates for a long time, or permanently, it will definitely not use magic crystals as its energy supplier. The endless growth of the tree maintains the normal operation of this array for a long time. "
Carter said: "Yes. , so we need to cut down the tree more and slow down to find the treasure.”
Bing Zhixie shook his head: "Do you think a contemporary hero like King Sauron would never think of this?"
"This..." Carter thought about it. If it was so easy to be broken, then It's too simple.
Bing Zhixie said: "The so-called land of death and life, many people only hear its name and don't know the reality. The land of death and life is not just the implicit 'world of the afterlife'. I have checked it just now. In fact, the land under our feet has become part of the 'afterlife', even if these trees are cut down,' The dead body will also be awakened through the energy of the moonlight in the afterlife. Because this is a forbidden technique, I don't know the specific nature of it. I only know this, but I still advise you not to cut down these trees. It’s related to the treasure.”
Actually, what Bing Zhixie said was just an intuition. Because living on trees as a ‘rebirth realm’ can indeed ambush others inadvertently, but once discovered, it will be useless. King Sauron, a great hero in this world, would never create such a defensive formation that could be easily broken, so he checked the land and found that the land here was indeed different. But now that the land has become the realm of the afterlife, aren’t these trees redundant? So he considered it from the perspective of King Sauron. If someone found this place and discovered the secrets here, what would he do to protect his treasure? He will definitely find a way to prevent this treasure from being obtained by outsiders, and those who enter here will definitely cut down the trees first. In this case...
Bing Zhixie thought this way, and felt that these trees should not be cut down.
Jack knew that Bing Zhixie was very witty and he was the one who solved the secrets in the map and riddles. There must be some truth to what he said, so he ordered the members not to cut down the trees.
