Chapter 193 Guard 194
“We got lost not long after we entered.”
“Maybe it’s normal for you to feel lost, but as long as you follow my brother, you will never get lost. At least we can go back the same way."
She seemed to have thought of something, and her face began to look ugly. "My brother's thinking is different from ordinary people. He is used to labeling everyone with numbers, or. It's something. When he was in the forest, he would keep numbering the direction, location, and special things around him." She paused, glanced at Jiang Cheng, and said, "It's not the kind of thing you think of, starting from 1. That kind of arrangement, as for what it is."
"Excuse me," Jiang Cheng said, "I'm not interested in your brother's talent at all. I just want to know what's going on in the forest."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "I don't know how to describe this forest to you. In short, this forest is not something you and I can understand. My brother seems to understand, but unfortunately, his expression is limited."
"I only know that he is He was emphasizing a sentence," Su Xiaoxiao suddenly sat up straight, and then his whole aura changed and became solemn, "He said that this forest is alive."
"The forest. Is it alive?" The fat man who came over blinked.
He inexplicably remembered the black mist he had seen in the gaps in the forest before. It was like a quagmire. One glance made people unable to take their eyes away, and eventually they fell deeper and deeper into it.
“That’s right,” Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be worried that Jiang Cheng wouldn’t understand. After looking at the forest, he quickly looked back, “At least in my brother’s understanding, at different points in time, he encountered For the same tree, he will give it another number.”
Jiang Cheng leaned against the rock, but his eyes were focused on the forest, "You are saying that in your brother's perception, this tree is no longer the tree he encountered before."
"That's it."< br>
"What about your perception?" The fat man asked: "Has there been any change in this tree?"
"No."
"The injuries on your bodies are How?" Jiang Cheng asked suddenly.
After hearing this question, Su Xiaoxiao's body shivered violently, but she controlled it well and quickly returned to normal.
"We were lost in the forest, and finally found a place." She paused suddenly when she said this, and Jiang Cheng didn't urge her. He knew that the former didn't want to say it, but was looking for a suitable adjective.
“Altar?” Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and asked.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he thought to himself, this is us asking you, not you asking us, how do we know what the hell you found in the forest.
“Let’s talk about the phenomenon,” Jiang Cheng said with relief.
"It's a giant round stone plate with a diameter of about 10 meters," Su Xiaoxiao recalled: "It's pure white, and there are densely packed tombs nearby."
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said: "According to As far as I know, no tribe has the custom of building tombs for sacrifices. They will only take the heads of rival tribe leaders or nobles."
"Listen to me," Su Xiaoxiao. No dissatisfaction, she's just too tight She was so nervous that she didn't want to mention this experience again. "There are tombs near the giant stone plate, but the giant stone plate is filled with all kinds of skeletons."
She swallowed her saliva carefully. : "There are people, and... and there are all kinds of creatures."
Jiang Cheng looked at her and could clearly feel the fear in this woman's heart, and he also understood that women were not just buried in graves. As well as being frightened by the skeleton, she must have found something else.
Especially her choice of words.
Various creatures
Why not various animals?
Obviously this kind of wording is what normal people should use.
“What did you see in that pile of bones?” Jiang Cheng lowered his voice.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to expect Jiang Cheng to ask such a question directly. She raised her head suddenly and stared at the latter's eyes with trembling eyes, as if trying to catch some clues.
But obviously, she failed.
Jiang Cheng’s eyes only reflected his own shadow.
"I don't know what those are. In short, they are not the creatures that should exist in our world," Su Xiaoxiao said in a trembling voice: "They are all kinds of strange things, some of them look like frogs and lizards, but they are far larger than the normal size. It's much bigger, 2 meters. No, it should be 3 meters high, Even bigger, some of them have wings on their backs!"
Recalling the scenes she had seen, Su Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and the only blood color faded away, "They look like it! Back from hundreds of millions of years ago."
Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Believe me, there was no such thing hundreds of millions of years ago."
Su Xiaoxiao must have been too excited, which also caused the injury to his lungs. She began to cough violently, but just when she was about to continue talking and describe the weirdest and most terrifying place, she found that Jiang Cheng straightened up slightly.
This was a feeling that was difficult to describe in words. In just a short moment, she seemed to see the shadow of something from the latter's body. What was it?
Or who is it?
The strange feeling of familiarity was fleeting, but Su Xiaoxiao never doubted her own feelings, just like she never doubted her brother's judgment.
"If I guess correctly, those things you mentioned on the altar," Jiang Cheng breathed out, and when he turned his face again, everything was as usual, "are they alive, right?" he asked softly.
The fat man was suddenly startled.
Although Su Xiaoxiao was surprised, she didn't lose control because she knew clearly that Jiang Cheng probably saw the scars on his brother Su An, especially the gunshot wound on his back.
"In addition to the creatures you mentioned, the people on the altar also came to life," Jiang Cheng said: "Some of them had guns, and they were the ones who injured your brother."
"Yes."
The fat man, whose brain had been down for a long time, finally began to reconnect, "You said. You said that some guys who had turned into skeletons came back to life?"
"And injured your brother with a gun?!"
"Yes," Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be answering Fatty's question, but her attention never left Jiang Cheng. There was something special about the latter that attracted her.
Deja vu.
"I think you should have guessed it," Su Xiaoxiao said: "Those people are the teammates who came ashore with the old woman."
"But for some reason, he died in the forest, and his bones were piled on the altar. At a certain opportunity, everything on the altar will be resurrected, and then..."
Su Xiaoxiao did not say the next words, After all, it was no longer necessary for the man in front of him.
This is very much like this forest, or even some kind of automatic defense mechanism on this island. Once an outsider steps in, the altar in the forest will be activated, and then the "weapon" will be resurrected. "Our killing moment.
The "visitors" who are killed will be re-integrated into this defense facility and become new "guardians".
This theory is not difficult for fat people to understand, but what is difficult is to believe it.
Does such a facility really exist?
Didn’t the doctor say this is a shadow of the real world?
Since it is a shadow, it means that there is such a place in the real world, and there will also be such an altar in that place.
There are piles of bones piled on the altar. This is impossible
