Chapter 749 Ruola II
The night was already deep, and a faint mist floated in the valley. Since the death of the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon, the purple halo on the north slope disappeared, and the surrounding area became There was silence and darkness.
The old hunter looked at Bing Zhixie under the light stone, and then at the shadow. He was not sure what was going on, why the young man he brought suddenly became two. He looked at the half-buried corpses and people around him and said, "Won't you save these people?"
It turned out that the ground had been overturned by tree roots at this time, and many students, teachers and soldiers in the camp were dead. The corpses had all been buried in the soil, and some had only half of their bodies left outside, but they were completely petrified.
The shadow said: "These people have nothing to do with us, why should we save them?"
"I thought you were together." The old hunter didn't expect him to say this.
"What are they together? I don't know them at all." Ying said to Bing Zhixie: "Now that you have decided, let's go to the Tomb of the Hero King as soon as possible. Sage's lifelong secrets are buried there. It’s inside.”
Bing Zhixie walked up to Ruola and leaned down to look at her.
Ying Neng knew what Bing Zhixie was thinking and said, "Aren't you going?"
Bing Zhixie said coldly in her heart: "You want to leave her here alone? Don't Forget that she saved your life and mine.”
Ying said: "Then bring her in with you."
Bingzhixie said: "What if there is danger inside?"
Ying smiled: "Yes, I understand. , you really can’t let go of this girl, maybe you really like her.”
Bing Zhixie was too lazy to argue with him, and just wanted to wait until Ruola woke up.
Although the old hunter felt that what Bing Zhixie said was reasonable, he was still worried and said: "After entering the king's tomb, you cannot desecrate him, otherwise... otherwise..."
< br>
"Otherwise what?" Shadow said: "Old man, there is no room for you to speak here."
The old hunter was full of anger, but when he thought about it, he really couldn't do anything to them. He was weak and was not the two of them at all. The personal opponent just lamented.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Ying smiled again: "How could I blaspheme him? He handed over his life's treasures and secrets to me, and it was too late for me to thank him."
< br>This Ying did talk more than Bing Zhixie. He seemed to be unhappy if he didn't say a few words to others. He had to say it verbally when he obviously didn't need to communicate with Bing Zhixie.
Bing Zhixie went to look at the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon again, and saw that the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon were indeed very similar to human eyes. Not only were the pupils, pupils, and whites of the eyes clear and distinct, but even the inside of its eyes were The lens and cornea of the eye are similar to those of humans. At least these are definitely human eyes, living eyes, not the camouflaged eyes unique to some Warcraft.
Shadow said: "With my extensive reading and profound knowledge, I don't know that there is such a monster in the world. Either it is a monster that has mutated from a giant tree, or it is some kind of rare ancient relic. It's really rare. , if you study this kind of monster carefully, you might be able to find something valuable, but it’s a pity that Hullington and Alice are not here. Son, they will definitely be happy with this novelty."
As he spoke, Ying picked up a pink leaf on the ground. When the leaf was pinched with a little force, it would make noises like a three-year-old child. Weird laughter. If you look closely, it turns out that there are many small leaf sacs on this leaf. As the leaf sacs shrink, they will emit weird laughter. This is actually a means of self-protection or temptation for animals and plants in nature, such as frogs' air bags and rattlesnakes' rattles.
Bing Zhixie thought for a while and felt that the situation here was probably like this. As the excavation deepens, the monsters guarding this tomb will gradually be awakened, and the first monster to be awakened is the evil young devil that the old hunter said. This is why previous government archaeologists mentioned being attacked by a large number of unknown monsters in their diaries, but did not mention the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon and other monsters.
The locals mentioned that the mysterious disappearances must be related to the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon, and they must have been excavated as recently as possible, close to the king's tomb. This can explain why not everyone who came here disappeared. , and two groups of government personnel disappeared.
After the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon appeared, all people and monsters entered the dream, including the evil young demons. However, because the evil young demons were not afraid of petrification, they returned to normal after the dream was lifted. , and other creatures were turned into stone by the petrified fireflies of the Phantom Firefly. This is the reason why some people's petrified statues are broken into pieces, while others are intact.
As for where the corpses of the evil young demons killed in the past went, they may have been eaten by the cruel evil young demons, or they may have been taken back underground. The hundred-eyed tree demon with mature thinking and similar human intelligence used its tree roots to throw all the petrified statues into the pits dug by the diggers, and then buried the pits again with soil to fulfill its responsibility. Guard this mausoleum.
So Bing Zhixie guessed and asked the old hunter. After staying here for so many years, he would always know something.
After listening to what Bing Zhixie said, the old hunter said: "Yes, even if your guess is not exactly the same, it is not much different. I have seen what happened here more than once. This is the first time When I saw it, I was confused by the 'dream' of the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon, but fortunately, I was hiding in the underground river where I brought you here. After being confused, I was washed back into the underground river by the river water. After surviving the accident. When I come here again, I am mentally prepared and will no longer be fascinated by the 'dream'. As you said, the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon is the one who buried all the petrified people in the pit."
Hearing this, Bing Zhixie breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the mystery of the disappearance of Beiwangpo Hanggu has been cleared up, and now that the Hundred-Eyed Tree Demon is dead, there should be no more danger on the surface of the Hanggu. , even if there is, it won’t be too big.
At this time Ruo Lan groaned.
The old hunter raised the spar and said, "She's about to wake up."
Ruola slept soundly at first, but as the night turned colder, mist gradually began to appear in the valley, and she was hit by the mist. Cool, gradually woke up. She first saw the old hunter holding the spar, and then saw Bing Zhixie and Ying, with frightened expressions. Bijing Ying gave her a knife at that time, leaving a terrible shadow in her heart. But she quickly calmed down and asked: "What's wrong with me?" Then she saw the old hunter holding the spar and asked: "Who is he?"
Ying squatted next to her and smiled: "You finally "I'm waking up."
When Ruola looked at his expression, she knew that he was the one who had hurt her, and she instinctively leaned towards Bing Zhixie. Ying chuckled: "You think of relying on him, and it's not in vain that he likes you."
Ruola looked at Bing Zhixie.
Bingzhixie said: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Ying said to Bingzhixie: "Why do you deny it? Why do you always deny the true emotions in your heart."
Bing Zhixie looked calm and completely ignored his words.
Ying smiled and said: "You are really good at disguising yourself."
Ruola got up, and then she realized that she was lying on the root of the tree. Then she saw through the light that the hundred-eyed tree demons around her were still staring at her with their eyes open, and she was shocked.
Bingzhixie said: "It's okay, they are dead."
"Dead?" Ruola felt relieved when she saw that these trees were really motionless. Just as Bing Zhixie was about to ask her something, she suddenly shouted again: "Ah! Where are my teacher and my classmates?"
Neither Bing Zhixie nor Ying thought about saving these people. Bing Zhixie actually wanted to save people in his heart, but the habits he had developed over the years and his master's teachings had made him cold-blooded. Ying really never thought about rescuing these irrelevant people in the camp.
Ruo La was in a hurry. She found the half-buried stone statue and dug it up desperately. Then she turned back to Bing Zhixie and asked for help: "Help me, help me save them. They are now saying Maybe not dead yet.”
Shadow said: "There is no need to waste our efforts. The chance of them surviving is not much better than zero. Let's hurry to the king's tomb and have a look."
Most of the people in the camp were killed by the evil young demon. They were brutally dismembered, or were entangled to death by tree roots. I'm afraid not a single one of them survived.
However, Ruola was still digging, asking Bing Zhixie and the others to help her while digging.
Bing Zhixie saw Ruola's begging eyes, her heart softened, and she helped her dig it up. At this time, he must be different from before, and maybe he will never be able to change again.
The old hunter had already taken action. When Ying saw them digging, he had no choice but to help and save people together.
With the help of Bing Zhixie and Ying's magic, the digging speed was very fast, but most of the people dug out from the ground had turned into broken stones. Some half-cut corpses were dug up and the outer layer had turned into stone, but the cavity of the body was still soaked with flesh and blood. The scene was really horrific.
The more Ruola dug, the more anxious she became. These people were her teachers and classmates. Although there might be some opinions and conflicts between them, they must have been with her day and night for so many years, and that kind of familiarity , that kind of feeling is like a family member.
After digging for a long time, I finally dug out a complete person.
Ruola took a look and shouted, "It's my mentor." She hurriedly lifted him out of the mud pit.
The color of the Royal Tutor's body has turned into a cold gray-white, and his skin has completely turned into a rough rock. You can press it up with your hands. His body is still a little soft, but the outermost layer has changed. It turned into a stone shell, but the muscles inside were still very fresh.
Ying said: "As expected of a royal mentor, after so long, he has only petrified to this degree."
Ruo La pulled Bing Zhixie and said: "Save him quickly, you must save him." Save him." Her eyes were filled with pleading and anxiety.
The shadow said: "You are worried about him."
Ruola shed tears and said: "Since I entered the academy, my mentor has been the person who cares about me the most. I have had no relatives since I was a child. , he is like my family."
Bing Zhixie and Ying were startled at the same time: "Are you an orphan?"
Ruola nodded.
Bing Zhixie lowered his head, and Ying's expression became different.
"So you must save him." Ruola cried: "It's all my fault... It's all my fault that I don't like to learn magic. In the end, I can't help at all."
