Between mountains and seas

Chapter 144

Even if he bumped into the softest belly of Invention, Shao Jingxing felt as if he was grabbing the ground with his head, and his eyes were about to stare.

He hugged Invention's thigh with all his strength, then opened his eyes and looked down, his heart tightened suddenly - Invention was hit by this, frightened and flew upwards, already more than 20 meters above the ground!

Shao Jingxing quickly looked away, not daring to think about what would happen if he let go and fell.In fact, he already regretted it so much at this moment, why did he jump up when his head became hot?I really thought I was Iron Man!What if I made a mistake and didn't embrace the invention just now?Iron Man still has a layer of iron armor on the outside, and he can still resist it if he falls to the ground. If he falls from this height, hehe...

But now it's too late to regret, let's think about how to get rid of the invention first.

Invention was actually hit hard by Shao Jingxing.In desperation, Shao Jingxing launched it with the force of the explosion of two compressed fireballs. It was like a humanoid missile. If it wasn't for the fact that the body of the supernatural being is different from ordinary people, and he cleverly wrapped a layer of flames around his body, it would be With such a powerful impact, he himself had to hit his head and bleed.

Of course, the effect of force is mutual, even because the abdomen is softer than the head, so Shao Jingxing's eyes were staring at him, and he found that his internal organs were similarly knocked out, and he almost vomited his breakfast.

And it wasn't just a matter of being bumped, it was discovered that the thick feathers on his abdomen had been scorched by the flames wrapped around Shao Jingxing's body.

Invention had never suffered such a disadvantage since he was born, so he snapped irritably, wanting to give Shao Jingxing a paw.But Shao Jingxing hugged one of its thighs tightly, curled up his body, and found that the legs were not easy to bend, so he didn't catch it after kicking twice. Instead, Shao Jingxing grabbed the feathers and climbed up for a while, stretching towards it. A fireball was ejected from the lower part of the opened wings.

With a bang, it was found that the entire huge body was crooked.Shao Jingxing attacked the weakly defended areas, the feathers on the lower part of the wings were softer than other places, and he was bald all of a sudden, revealing the red skin inside.

This was more severe than just now, the burning pain penetrated from the skin to the inside, and found that half of the wings were not flexible.It bent its neck angrily and wanted to peck Shao Jingxing, but the latter shrank behind its thighs and did not show his head.During the entanglement, he discovered that his huge body began to swirl and fall in mid-air, and finally landed on the ground with a plop.

At this moment, the concrete road had shrunk back more than ten meters, so the invention fell into the quicksand, and of course Shao Jingxing, who was under its belly, was not spared. When he was pressed by the heavy body of the invention, his legs sank to his knees in an instant.

Shao Jingxing was hit so hard that his blood surged, but luckily he was prepared, he quickly clawed off Invention's wings, grabbed its feathers and climbed onto its back.Half of Invention's wings were scrapped by him, so of course he refused to let it go. His two legs stuck in the sand and couldn't be pulled out for a while, so he screamed angrily and bent his long neck to peck at him.

One person and one bird rolled into a ball in the quicksand.Invention's body was too heavy. Although it flew very nimbly in the air, which was completely unreasonable, after falling into the quicksand, it finally returned to the realm of physics and sank very quickly.

Invention quickly discovered this problem, and he flapped his wings trying to pull himself out of the quicksand, ignoring Shao Jingxing.Shao Jingxing managed to push it to the ground with great difficulty. How could he let it fly again? With one hand, he grabbed the long feathers on Invention's back, leaning down with his whole body, and while Invention was flapping its wings frantically, he moved towards the side where Invention was injured. Another compressed fireball was thrown under the wings.

This time the operation was precise, and when Invention tightened its wings, the fireball exploded.Hearing a deafening cry, he found that half of the wing had completely drooped—although its wing bone was not hollow, it was blown into three pieces under the impact, and the embers were squeezed out from under the wing. Almost set Shao Jingxing on fire.

Invention struggled frantically.With one wing broken, it is no longer possible to fly again.It made a shrill and hoarse cry, and there was an immediate response.Shao Jingxing looked back, and dozens of scorpions had already appeared by the edge of the forest.

Song Si is a pheasant with a human face. In fact, except for the weird face, it doesn't have much variation. No matter in terms of size or attack power, it is similar to an ordinary pheasant.Ji Xiaojiu once explained that this may be because Guanti Mountain has been surrounded by quicksand since ancient times, and the beasts in the mountain will not be attacked by outsiders, and there is no need to evolve advanced skills.

In short, apart from the danger of quicksand, Guanti Mountain is actually a relatively safe place in the world of mountains and seas.But now, the size of these scorpions is larger than before, and bright blue-red colors appear in the dark light brown feathers on the body surface, which is similar to the color of the feathers on Invention.What's even more frightening is that their eyes are all bloodshot, and the eyeballs are covered with spider webs of blood. When they stare at people together, it really makes people feel creepy.

If it was on flat ground, Shao Jingxing would not be afraid of these things.Although he doesn't know what kind of mutations have appeared, he will burn them if they dare to come, but they can still run if they are burned.

But the problem is, he is now rolling into a ball with the invention, and still rolling in the quicksand!Looking back, the concrete road just now has retreated several meters. Obviously, this small-scale overlap will soon end. If he can't beat it, where will he run?

If I didn't care about the invention just now, I would have fled first...

A thought flashed in Shao Jingxing's mind, and he vetoed it himself - if Huo Qing was there, he would definitely not let Invention escape, after all they could still find a way out in the world of mountains and seas, but once Invention escapes, those outside Ordinary people don't understand anything, they will definitely die!

I think when I was in the botanical garden, a nest of human snakes ran out and ate several people. If the Beaulieu had not been stopped by them at that time, or the later weeters had not been attracted by them with smoke, ordinary people If you meet someone, who will suffer and who will die?

Therefore, if it was Huo Qing, he would definitely stop the invention first.But, if it was Huo Qing, he wouldn't put himself in such a dilemma, would he?He can press the invention to death in the quicksand, but what should he do?Did it die together with the invention?No, no, he doesn't want to die yet!

At this moment, Shao Jingxing didn't know what was going on in his mind, but his mind was spinning wildly, but his body was firmly pressed against the nape of Invention's neck, desperately pressing its head into the quicksand .

Invention screamed hoarsely, and wisps of black mist leaked out from under the feathers, wrapping around Shao Jingxing's body as if alive.

The black mist diffused on the ground, and the color of the yellow-gray quicksand also dimmed. Some grasses growing on the sand nearby immediately faded to a withered yellow color when touched by the black mist, and then turned into yellow when blown by the blown wind. For tiny crumbs, disappeared without a sound.

Shao Jingxing didn't notice it at all.He is now surrounded by flames all over his body. When the black mist touches the flames, it sizzles softly, and he shrinks back suddenly like a snake that has been burned. the skin below.

At this time, Shao Jingxing suddenly heard piercing screams from behind, and a dozen or so dragons flapped their wings and rushed over together.

"Get out!" Shao Jingxing freed up one hand, and threw a big fireball backwards.The fireballs surrounded the huddles, and there was a bang, and the broken feathers flew away with the skin and flesh that had been burned instantly. A dozen of the scorpions were instantly blown up beyond recognition, and some even exposed their bones. It seems that the alienation has not strengthened. their defensive capabilities.

But as soon as Shao Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, he saw these gut-piercing Songs actually staggered to the ground and flew up again!Some of them dragged their guts, some had half of their wings covered in white bones, and one had half of its head blown off, and the only remaining eye had lost the luster of life, but it didn't affect its continued flight in the slightest!

Nima!Shao Jingxing was about to curse out loud.Dare to feel that this mutation is a corpse change!

A group of zombie birds flew over crookedly, pecking and clawing at people, this scene was not too pretty.But Shao Jingxing didn't even throw the fireball this time - he already understood that these scorpions would not be able to kill him without killing the invention; Be buried by zombie animals!

The flame wall erected behind was hit by the zombie birds and made a series of small explosions, but Shao Jingxing didn't turn his head, and pressed the invention into the quicksand with all his strength.

It was discovered that although it could turn other animals into zombie beasts, it was still a living thing. After the black mist from its body was burned by Shao Jingxing, the feathers as thick as scales were quickly charred, and its flesh was scorched.Moreover, its head was also pressed into the quicksand by Shao Jingxing. After several struggles, it finally became silent.

All of this actually happened within a minute or two, but Shao Jingxing relaxed at a breath, feeling as if he had run a marathon, and his whole body was exhausted.At the back, the wall of flames that had been pecked to pieces by those zombies couldn't hold on any longer, and turned into clusters of small flames, which flickered in the air for a few times before extinguishing.But as soon as the invention died, the zombies seemed to have been pressed the stop button, and fell to the ground with a clatter, turning into a pile of charred bones.

Suddenly there was the roar of a motorcycle in front, mixed with hoarse shouts. Shao Jingxing looked up and saw a motorcycle rushing towards him like a mad cow on the concrete road that had retreated tens of meters. He didn't wear it, his hair stood on end in the wind, who else could it be if it wasn't Huo Qing!

"Ah Qing!" Shao Jingxing's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to stand up and wave his hands, he felt that something was wrong. When he lowered his head, he realized that during the struggle with the invention just now, one person and one bird had sunk into the quicksand unknowingly—he Both of his legs had already been buried in the sand, and they were still sinking!

Damn, what's going on!Shao Jingxing panicked immediately.During the fight just now, it seemed that the quicksand had not sunk so fast. It was quite difficult for him to press Invention's head into the sand.But now, the quicksand sank to the knees, and then crawled up the thighs!

Shao Jingxing struggled to stand up, but only then did he notice that the suction of the quicksand was surprisingly strong, and his sinking speed was surprisingly fast, which was completely different from when he and Tang Jia Wang Chenggang were trying to climb out of the quicksand together.

"Ah Qing—" Shao Jingxing struggled twice, and found that most of his huge body had sunk into the ground. He didn't dare to move anymore, so he could only look up at Huo Qing.

Huo Qing's face was stern.His motorcycle with a particularly well-silenced engine now sounds like an F1, and its speed is no worse than an F1. It rushed to the end of the concrete road in the blink of an eye.With a bang, the motorcycle jumped high and flew towards Shao Jingxing. Huo Qing waved his hand in mid-air, a metal chain wrapped around Shao Jingxing's waist, and pulled him up...

The waist was strangled so hard that Shao Jingxing almost vomited.But the effect was immediate, he was pulled out more than half of him like a carrot, and it seemed that he would come again—but at this moment, the quicksand under him suddenly flowed like water, and a vortex appeared instantly, and the invented corpse rushed The ground was drawn in, and a broken wing bone of this bird did not know when it pierced through the flesh, pierced Shao Jingxing's trousers, and hung him up.

Before Shao Jingxing could pull out his pants, he was sucked in by the whirlpool of quicksand together with the invented corpse.When it was dark in front of his eyes, he only had time to shout: "Ah Qing, let go!" Then he was buried.

Very dark - this was Shao Jingxing's first thought.

The second thought was - my butt hurts from falling, and my waist hurts too.

Before he had a third thought, he suddenly woke up - where is this!He remembered that he fell into quicksand, but this is obviously not quicksand!

A slight sound came from nearby, Shao Jingxing was startled, but then his heart moved: "Ah, Ah Qing?"

Immediately, a ball of white light lit up, illuminating the surroundings.It's very empty, there are blue bricks paved tightly on the ground, and other things can be vaguely seen.But Shao Jingxing didn't care about it now, he only saw the motorcycle lying on the ground not far away, and Huo Qing illuminated by the headlights.

"Ah Qing!" Shao Jingxing felt like crying.But before he could cry, Huo Qing had already rushed to his side, groping up and down on him: "Are you hurt?"

Shao Jingxing liked Huo Qing's hands on him very much, but this time he really couldn't care less, as soon as Huo Qing touched his waist, he screamed: "Ah!" It hurts so much!

Huo Qing picked up Shao Jingxing's clothes by the light of the motorcycle lights, and saw purple bruises around his waist, one after another, all of which were clear chain marks, and many places were still worn off His skin was peeled off, and the bruises on his head were bloodshot again, which was shocking when it fell on his fair skin.

Huo Qing: "..." He strangled it with a metal chain just now.

Shao Jingxing also remembered that it was Huo Qing's fault, so he quickly pulled down his clothes: "It's okay, it hurt a little bit just now, and it's okay now." Actually, it's not, his ribs still hurt a little now, and he was really strangled just now light.But speaking of it, if it wasn't for the sudden vortex in the quicksand, Huo Qing would have pulled him up!

"Where is this?" Shao Jingxing looked around, as if he was in a large building.The lights of the motorcycle did not reach the edge, and it was still dark in the distance.

Huo Qing touched Shao Jingxing's waist through his clothes, and pressed on his ribs. He felt that although Shao Jingxing flinched, he didn't overreact. It seemed that his bones were not injured, so he felt relieved: "It seems to be a It is located in a palace. The building materials should be coated with special paint, which can absorb light.” So the motorcycle lights are not far away.

"Special paint?" Shao Jingxing looked carefully at his feet, and he found that the color of the one-foot-square blue brick was surprisingly dim. Just now he thought it was because it was too old, but now he saw clearly that the surface of the blue brick was not worn or weathered in the slightest. , as if it had just been paved yesterday, but the light appeared blurry, as if it had been swallowed by something, and it was no longer bright.

"This kind of craftsmanship existed in ancient times." Huo Qing looked around, "It's often used in tomb passages."

Shao Jingxing trembled: "Tomb?" Could it be that they fell into someone else's grave!He is someone who has read a lot of tomb robbery novels, and there are too many traps in the cemetery, such as the dragon breaking stone, the fire dragon roof...

"Very likely." Huo Qing patted him, "Don't worry, there should be no mechanism here."

"How do you know?" Shao Jingxing was very suspicious, "Aren't you afraid of tomb robbery?"

"There's nothing to steal." Huo Qing lifted the seat of the motorcycle and found something inside, "And the mechanism here is outside but not inside. Ordinary people can't get in at all."

"The agency is outside?" Before Shao Jingxing could understand, Huo Qing had already twisted the thing in his hand, and suddenly a faint golden light spread out from his hand, replacing the dimmed white light of the headlights, illuminating the surroundings.

This thing looks like a glass ball with many facets. The light is not as bright as the headlights of a car, but it can illuminate a wider range. Even the specially treated floor tiles can't absorb its light. Shao Jingxing The child saw the wall a dozen steps away—it really was a palace-like building, and they landed in a corner of the hall.As far as the eye can see, there is only a flat ground, and there are small red bricks half a foot wide between the large blue bricks that are one foot square, paving a road leading to the center of the palace.

"What is this?" Shao Jingxing's eyes fell on the glass ball first.The motorcycle lights quickly dimmed because they were eroded by the power of mountains and seas, that is to say, they are still in the world of mountains and seas, and they are still in places where the power of mountains and seas is strong.But this glass ball is not affected...

What's inside the glass ball is—a pale golden powder?

"You should know." Huo Qing looked at Shao Jingxing helplessly with the eyes of a scumbag, "Bright stem grass." Of course, it is the refined essence.

"Why haven't I seen you use it before?" Shao Jingxing was surprised, "This is much easier to use than flashlights and torches!"

"The performance is unstable, and it can only be used in places where there is no light, otherwise it will quickly fail when exposed to light." The cost of these few grams of powder is not low, and a flashlight is usually enough. Isn't there no combustibles in this place? ?

Shao Jingxing wanted to ask again, but Huo Qing had already pointed to the middle of the palace: "Look, what is that?"

Shao Jingxing turned his head in response, and saw a huge shadow emerging from the darkness.As Huo Qing walked a few steps forward on the road paved with red bricks, the pale golden light had faintly illuminated one of the shadow's feet—it was not a human-footed animal claw or the like, but a tripod foot. , with a small humanoid creature embossed on it, in the shape of arms and legs.

"Is it a tripod?" Shao Jingxing squinted his eyes in amazement and looked hard, and found that there was more than one tripod, "One, two, three...nine, nine tripods?"
