Chapter 1776 Turning on the Mechanism
As soon as he heard about the ‘fetal demon’, Kun, who was furious, immediately calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him. Her face changed horribly, and her voice was a little out of shape: "Put these three stones on the ground in the pavilion, and the 'fetal demon' will come out?"
"Most likely." Bing Zhixie is now almost 100% sure It was concluded that the so-called 'fetal demon curse' was related to the secret hidden here, but he didn't know what this 'secret' was yet. The mechanism here is designed to be so secretive and strange, it must be hiding an astonishing 'big secret'.
Kun was holding fire in her heart, but she had no intention of thinking about Bing Zhixie deceiving her and her tribal grandmother. A man was whispering next to him, probably asking for God's blessing.
Besides the wild fruits, there were three half-cooked, palm-sized fish beside the campfire. These fish should have come from the ditch. Bing Zhixie noticed that there were some small fish and shrimps in the ditch, but he did not see them. Such a big one should have been found by Kun. He took the fish stuck on the branch and continued to bake it. After it was cooked, it didn't taste very good. The meat had many thorns and didn't taste fresh and tender. No wonder Kun didn't eat it much.
Bing Zhixie looked at the grilled fish on the branch in a daze. He was thinking that there were fish in this place, but why were there no wild animals? If the wild beasts here are extinct due to the influence of the ‘fetal demon’, then why are the fish and snakes still there? Could it be that the impact here is selective?
This kind of thing is not impossible. For example, many diseases will be transmitted to each other before humans, but will not be transmitted to animals and monsters. The impact here is directed at a specific group of people, first of all, humans, and secondly. Certain animals and monsters gave rise to the Qianling Tribe and the special situation here.
This is a very reasonable conjecture. Before they entered here, wild animals such as deer could still be seen in the mountains and forests outside, but in small numbers, but they disappeared here.
Thinking of this, Bing Zhixie suddenly thought: "Ah, could it be the blood temperature?"
Kun heard his sudden voice and cast his eyes: "What?"< br>
Bing Zhixie found that the affected and disappeared species, including humans, seemed to be warm-blooded. On the contrary, those cold-blooded species of pterosaurs, flying dragons, fish, snakes and insects were not affected.
The more I think about it, the more likely it is that the influence of the so-called 'Fetal Demon Curse' is on the blood. If this influence can be distinguished by warm-blooded animals and cold-blooded animals, it will reasonably explain the various phenomena that occur here. situation.
He suddenly stood up, and Kun also stood up and asked: "What's wrong?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Take these stone slabs, let's turn on the machine now."
< br>"Now!" Kun was startled. She looked at the sky and indicated that it was still night.
Bing Zhixie said: "I really want to know what the 'Fetal Demon' is now. Don't you want to see it right away?"
"I..." Kun hesitated, but quickly made up his mind: " Okay, I also want to see what the 'Fetal Demon' is!"
She is the number one female warrior of the Qianling tribe, and she is not afraid of any beasts. Although she had an instinctive fear of the 'fetal demon', at this moment, her bloodshed and courage still defeated the fear in her heart.
The stone slabs are very heavy. Kun carried a square one on his back, Bing Zhixie held a moon-shaped one between his hands, and the pair of wing-shaped ones were carried by Pegasus. The two men and the beast soon arrived at the surrounded stone pavilion. Under the stone pavilion, the unnamed skeleton was still lying quietly, quietly illuminated by the cold moon in the sky. Bing Zhixie picked up the slate key and placed it one by one on the reliefs of the three pillars. As expected, each piece matched the gap on it. He originally wanted to activate this mechanism after dawn, at least it would be more convenient during the day. But in such a mysterious place, there may be no difference between day and night. If there is danger, it will be the same danger to him no matter it is day or night. This may not have much impact on Kun, who has lived here for a long time. In many cases, the darkness in the dense forest cannot distinguish between day and night.
The three stone slabs were placed separately. The two stood in the stone pavilion and waited for a while, but saw no movement.
Kun looked left and right, alerted for a few minutes and asked: "What are we standing here for? Where is the 'fetal demon'?"
Bingzhi said evilly: "Is the agency broken? No Maybe, several of the Shimen mechanisms are working fine, but the mechanism here will only be more secure. If the mechanism is really broken, then. But it's bad." He said to Kun: "Wait a little longer."
After another seven or eight minutes, Bing Zhixie came out of the stone pavilion and became alert: "There is a sound!"
Kun quickly picked up the sword in his hand: "What's the sound? Where is it?" She heard nothing, but she didn't dare to be careless.
Suddenly the pegasus next to him began to neigh and raise its hooves from time to time.
Bing Zhixie said: "It's the sound of water. It's everywhere nearby." He ran to the nearest ditch to find the sound, and he heard the soft sound of water below the ditch. This soft sound of water is different from the previous sound of water, but the sound of waves caused by falling water.
Kun remembered that he still had the crystal lamp he picked up, and hurriedly handed it to him. Bing Zhixie lit up the lantern stone and walked all the way to find the ditch. Not far away, he saw a piece of brick protruding from the ditch. Kun asked unexpectedly: "What kind of mechanism is that? Is this what it is when you open it?"
Bing Zhixie discovered that in the ditch, a gap was exposed under the big piece of brick arched out, and the water in the ditch was flowing continuously. Inject it into it. Moreover, he found that the water flow in the canal seemed to become stronger and the sound of water became louder. The entire large circular area echoed with the sound of water. The sound in each place was not loud, but the combined sound was quite shocking, especially in the closed round valley.
After half an hour, the sound of water still did not stop. It seemed that the whole process of filling the ground with water would not be over for a while. Bing Zhixie decided to rest for the night first, but this was annoying. How can people sleep with the sound of water? Thinking about it, I can only go back to Shiting to rest, at least it will be a little quieter there.
Bing Zhixie slept on the edge of dreaming and waking up all night. This state of shallow sleep felt very bad for a person who was injured, poisoned, and physically tired. On the contrary, Kun was sleeping soundly. There was a long Qianling Waterfall next to the Qianling tribe. She was used to hearing the rumbling sound of water day and night.
While sleeping, in addition to the sound of water, I also heard some other sounds. It was not until the middle of the night that the sounds became more intense, and the nearby ground began to shake. Bing Zhixie got up from the ground. He knew that the operation of the mechanism was about to end. The Pegasus in the garden was frightened by the trembling on the ground and moved back and forth uneasily, and finally flew into the sky.
Kun jumped up from the ground and asked if the 'fetal demon' had come out.
Bing Zhixie did not answer, only said: "Follow me."
