Chapter 194 Spirit Insect!
Right here between the lightning and flint.
Zhang Hao felt that his thoughts were getting more and more stagnant, about to stop, and his body movements became slower. He watched the tree fall down in just a short moment, as if he could not reach it even if he had the fastest speed in the world. There is no way to avoid this tree.
But at this moment, he turned his hand upward hard, and the thunder calamity wooden hammer, not much bigger than a palm, appeared in his palm!
In fact, he was fully prepared when he set out on this road.
The sudden loss of contact with the little red paper man is enough to show that there is something weird in these things, and it also proves that on this road, there is very likely to be an existence that the little red paper man is completely powerless to resist, and may threaten His presence is gone.
Therefore, Zhang Hao put the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer in his hand and held it tightly from the beginning, just to deal with emergencies.
After all, the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer is the only thing he currently has that has offensive power and some self-protection capabilities. Compared with other things, the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer is more useful.
But I have to say that his considerations are correct, and his worries are also completely correct. Holding the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer in your hand is a huge advantage!
As long as, when the big tree falls down, he hits his head with the thunder calamity wooden hammer, it will wake him up instantly, let his thoughts become unobstructed, and then he will be able to change from this strange and weird situation now. Get out of the situation.
While he was thinking, he tried very hard to control his hand and raise it quickly, but his movements were still very slow. Compared with the fallen tree, it was almost supersonic speed, a sonic speed.
However, at this moment, all the surrounding sounds disappeared, and his movement of raising his hand seemed to be completely restrained, and his whole body remained motionless.
Furthermore, the feeling of sluggishness and slowness completely disappeared, replaced by a complete stagnation of thoughts and the feeling of time passing by, no longer at all.
The only thing he could do was to watch the trunk of the big tree collapse towards him.
Just when the thick trunk of the big tree was about to touch his face.
Zhang Hao's eyes moved and he tightly grasped the thunder calamity wooden hammer in his hand.
Boom!
Suddenly, a sound like thunder echoed in his brain, instantly shattering everything in front of him like broken glass, and then completely shattered.
The next second, Zhang Hao opened his eyes, gasping for air, looking around in panic, and sweat was already covering his forehead.
He turned his head and looked around. There was no fallen tree, nor anything unusual. Everything was exactly the same as the scene he had just seen, without any changes.
The only change was that he felt his head hurt a little.
Presumably it is the function of the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer? After all, before he opened his eyes, he did hear a thunder. The thunder seemed to appear suddenly and then shatter and reshape all his thoughts.
Shaking his head, Zhang Hao looked down at his body, hands and feet.
There was no change or injury at all, just the same as before.
So that means the feeling just now... was an illusion?
No, that's not right.
If the falling tree was an illusion, the feeling of stagnant thinking and sluggish body movements was extremely real, and this feeling had been with him for a long time.
As a mountain walker who has experienced many hallucinations, Zhang Hao can distinguish hallucinations from reality through his feelings at the time afterwards.
If it was a hallucination, then when he recalled this feeling again, it should be a little illusory, not completely real, let alone the full experience he had just now.
And he still hasn't figured it out yet. When he was holding the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer, did he lift it up or did he hit his head with the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer?
If he knocked, then why didn't he see the action of raising his hand? And what about the feeling of raising your hand?
After all, at that time, he was just thinking stagnantly, rather than completely losing his senses. He could still feel the feeling of nerves pulling on his arm when he raised his hand.
But if he didn't knock it, then what happened to his headache, and what about the thunderous sound he heard when he came out of that state?
It feels like the current scene is just like the time when the fox was getting married, the time he encountered it seemed like his soul was out of body, and it seemed like he was in a state of fantasy.
However, this time the feeling was more obvious and even more unpredictable for him.
He raised his hand, stroking the stubble on his chin, squinting his eyes, and thinking carefully about everything he had experienced since just now.
He really underestimated the mountain treasure [Human Shadow Mountain Rock].
But think about it, [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] has been in Hengshan for many years. A mountain treasure for so many years must have some tricks of its own, and there is definitely more than one mountain treasure like [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] in Hengshan. , there are also many spiritual herbs, spiritual insects, mountain spirits and other things.
It makes sense for [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] to unite with a certain mountain spirit to protect themselves together. It is even possible for two mountain treasures to join forces.
Interesting, this thing is getting interesting.
If he can get two mountain treasures at once, then his trip to Hengshan will be a huge profit. He even got a spiritual grass and mountain rice just now.
When the time comes to go back and plant mountain rice into the spiritual soil, you won’t have to worry about watering the spiritual soil. It’s so wonderful. It would be great if, in addition to the [Human Shadow Mountain Stone], there was another mountain treasure, or something like a mountain spirit, and something that could help the spiritual soil, or the growth of spiritual things in the mountain.
In this way, he can completely turn the spiritual soil into a small world, and let the spiritual grass he collected further multiply, grow, take root and sprout in the spiritual soil. As long as he keeps multiplying, he can get more spiritual grass.
As time goes by, there may not be as many spiritual grasses in the mountains as there are in his spiritual soil, and maybe even the [Mountain Spirit Earth Statue] can evolve into [Xuan Huang Earth], which is like killing two birds with one stone!
After temporarily collecting his divergent thoughts, Zhang Hao still focused on the matter in front of him.
With the previous lesson, he directly held the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer in his hand this time, staring at the surroundings with his eyes. As long as he found anything wrong, he would immediately swing the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer, or hammer It's totally fine to hit the other party or hammer yourself, as long as you can keep yourself awake.
Of course, it is better to knock the other person. If you knock yourself too much, you will easily feel too uncomfortable. Hearing thunder at such a close distance is not something ordinary people can accept.
He just walked forward, walking very cautiously.
The scene passing by has not changed at all, there are still those tall and thick trees, there are still those weeds on the ground, and there is still a weed-free forest path next to your feet.
This place is inaccessible and is an undeveloped area, and almost no one comes here. There are still some forest paths like this. If no one has walked through it in recent years, this is the road. There must be something different about it. An ordinary place.
Thinking about it, he still prefers the latter view. After all, Zhang Hao, who had just experienced that weird and strange feeling, really wanted to find out who was the guy hiding behind and helping [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] escape. What.
Carrying a basket in one hand and a Thunder Tribulation wooden hammer in the other, Zhang Hao walked slowly. From time to time, he would squat in front of a certain stone, checking the traces before and after, confirming the traces of the [Human Shadow Mountain Stone]. At the same time, he also Looking for other traces.
For example, the traces left by the thing that helped [Human Shadow Mountain Stone].
It didn't take long for him to find traces that seemed to be that thing on the trunk of a tree.
There was a dried mark on the trunk, as if something lay on the trunk, leaving something like mucus behind. Then as the thing left, the mucus was dried by the hot air. .
In this case, it means that this thing has been here before. Judging from the heat of the air in the woods, the thing should have been away not long ago.
It should be right in front.
Zhang Hao squinted his eyes, and while he was thinking, he heard an unusual sound.
"Zizzizi..."
The sound came from the front. It seemed like it was made by some kind of creature or the sound left behind by something passing through a certain place.
Zhang Hao did not step forward immediately, but stood there and listened quietly.
After all, he didn't want to experience the feeling just now a second time, and he wanted to grab that thing once again without giving it a chance to react.
"Zhengzhengzheng..."
At this time, the voice came again, this time more clearly, as if it was ringing in my ears.
This time, Zhang Hao finally heard the sound clearly. The sound was like the sound of a piano or a guzheng, similar to the sound of a musical instrument.
Zhang Hao's brows suddenly wrinkled, and his expression became serious, awe-inspiring, and full of vigilance.
When he just heard the sound, he had a feeling of wanting to walk over, but he suppressed this thought and stood there, motionless, never moving forward.
This sound sounds very weird, not like what an animal can make at all, and the sound of a beast does not sound like the sound of a musical instrument at all, but more like certain types of sounds recorded in the "Mountain Travel Notes" Spirit worm.
In the "Illustrated Record of Traveling in the Mountains", there are records of spiritual grass, spiritual insects, etc. Spirit grass can be planted in spiritual soil, or used to recuperate the body, etc., while the role of spiritual insects is specifically For the purpose of holding a house, or to help mountain walkers, provide assistance when walking in the mountains.
However, most of the spirit insects are not capable of providing help when walking in the mountains. They are more used to raise, or to hold down the house, or to improve the luck of the mountain walker, or to enhance various momentums.
Just like the so-called raising imps in folklore, in order to improve official luck, wealth, career luck, etc., the role of spirit insects is the same, and it is specially used in this aspect.
However, there were more spiritual insects in ancient times. Mountain walkers of all ages would basically encounter some when walking in the mountains. However, with the changes of the times, the number of spiritual insects has significantly decreased, and it has continued to decrease. The specific reason for the decrease is unknown even to Mr. Xu, the previous walker.
Therefore, Zhang Hao, who learned about this matter, did not take the spirit insects to heart at first because he might not encounter them.
But today, he seemed to have indeed encountered a spirit insect, and it was the kind of spirit insect whose cry sounded like the sound of a musical instrument.
However, it is too late to look through the "Mountain Travel Record" now. Maybe the spirit insect will run away if I turn around. It is better to think of a way to catch the spirit insect.
Moreover, Zhang Hao vaguely realized that this spirit insect was probably the thing that helped [Human Shadow Mountain Stone]. It was probably this spirit insect that made him fall into that feeling of slow movements and stagnant thoughts.
