Between mountains and seas

Chapter 98 Between Eight Mountains

Although the wings on that side couldn't be opened, they still tried to check the tiger eagle's whole body, and found that there were also two sores on the tiger eagle's stomach, that is to say, these sores were concentrated in the lower part of the tiger eagle's body. Proof that attacks are all bottom-up.

"Could it be something like Xuanfeng?" Huang Yu was still guessing as he walked.

The sun was setting and they had already left Changyou Mountain.Except for the tiger eagle that suddenly appeared, there were only a few Changyou in the Changyou Mountain. The huge mountain was empty, and it felt a little lonely.

They originally wanted to cut off the sores on Tiger Eagle to see if they could be taken back for testing, but the cut flesh soon turned into pus, and new sores grew in the place where the sores were cut.This situation lasted until three hours later, when Hu Ying's body became completely stiff, and the sores stopped expanding, and soon turned into the dark brown of ordinary wounds, as if they died along with it.

This situation was really weird, so Zhang Sheng, who didn't believe in evil, cut open all the sores he could find, and even cut Huying's stomach open.That's why they spent nearly a day in Changyou Mountain, but still got nothing.

Tiger Eagle disrupted their plans.Originally, they should go to the rest point at the foot of the cabinet mountain when it was dark, but now, they had to spend the night halfway.

Unlike Shao Jingxing, Huo Qing and the others are very used to camping in the wild, so seeing that it was getting dark and the few people hadn't stopped to prepare for their accommodation, Shao Jingxing had to interrupt Huang Yu's discussion: "Then what, we will stay at night Where is it?" They came out with a tent on their backs, but, but what's the use of a tent, can it block the strange beasts that may appear?

Zhang Sheng said indifferently: "Just find a flat place, isn't there a blanket?" Wrap it up, make a fire, and sleep on the spot, OK.

Shao Jingxing opened his mouth and was speechless.Huo Qing glanced at him and said nothing.In fact, they have always been like this. This tent was specially designed for Shao Jingxing to carry.

"Then what..." Shao Jingxing explained in vain, "It's not that I'm afraid of sleeping in the open, just—in case some strange beast comes over at night..."

"Normally not." Huang Yu explained to him, "There are strange beasts on every mountain, but you won't encounter them between mountains."

"Why?" Shao Jingxing suddenly became curious.

"Uh—this..." Huang Yu scratched his head, "It's always been like this..."

Shao Jingxing was very dissatisfied with his explanation: "Forget about aquatic ones, all land-born beasts have four legs. Isn't it easy to go down the mountain? Besides, we just met a tiger eagle in Changyou Mountain Well, isn't it easier for a bird to fly with its wings?"

Huang Yu raised his hand and surrendered: "I really didn't think about this, it was what the teacher said during the previous training. Maybe it's because the alien beasts have a special sense of territory? Or maybe it's because their abilities are cultivated locally, and the mountains gather together. The abilities of different animals may be different, but for strange beasts, the place where they can mutate is the most comfortable place for them. Then, for example, the Changyou Mountain is full of water..."

Shao Jingxing retorted: "There are many places with water everywhere. There is more water on the seaside. Besides, Lin Bo also said that a few years ago, a long right ran out of Linghai Gate—isn't the outside of Linghai Gate even more unsuitable for them? "

"That may be a special situation." Zhang Sheng, like Huang Yu, learned this point in training. It is rare to stand on the same front with Huang Yu, and he also refuted Shao Jingxing, "Birds can fly, but leaving their own territory There are very few of them. Otherwise, they are all running around, and there is no point in fixing the door. There are also some that may not have any specific territory, such as today's Tiger Eagle, which is not clearly recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing". It is likely that there is no territory."

Shao Jingxing has not participated in this kind of systematic training, so he really doesn't know about it.But perhaps because of this, his thoughts are not bound by known knowledge: "I don't think it's right..."

Zhang Sheng snorted through his nose, obviously disdainful: "These are the laws that the supernatural beings have verified in the world of mountains and seas over the years. If you say it's wrong, it's wrong?"

"I'm not saying that the law is wrong, but that the explanation is wrong." When he said this, Shao Jingxing was motivated, and he insisted on arguing with him, "Is everything recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" correct? According to the "Shan Hai Jing", Changyou Mountain is 450 miles away from Guishan Mountain, how can we walk there in one day?"

According to the plan, they will go through Changyou Mountain. If there is no change in the mountain, they will go directly to Cabinet Mountain and reach the rest point at the foot of Cabinet Mountain when it gets dark.

At that time, Shao Jingxing didn't think it was a big deal when he heard about the plan. Now that he was going to argue with Zhang Sheng, he suddenly remembered: The distance between the two places is 450 miles. Even if there are some errors in the measurement, it is at least [-] kilometers. If they walk with their feet, can they walk in one day?Even if it is a supernatural person, running is enough, right?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Zhang Sheng looked at him with even more disdain, and Huang Yu was also a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Shao Jingxing couldn't help feeling something was wrong.

Zhang Sheng curled his lips, and just as he was about to speak, Huo Qing said flatly, "Jing Xing hasn't had time to receive training, and it's normal to have some lack of knowledge. Some people may not be aware of these problems at all."

Zhang Sheng choked when the words came to his lips.He is what Huo Qing said was "not aware of these problems at all". Before the training, even though he had already entered the world of mountains and seas, he never thought about it.

Huo Qing blocked Zhang Sheng back with one sentence, and then explained to Shao Jingxing: "The space of the world of mountains and seas may have been compressed. The current research is speculating that Pangu put the world of mountains and seas into a relatively closed space. Because this space is smaller than the The original world of mountains and seas was smaller - even if Pan Gu was the strongest supernatural being, he couldn't really close a world, so he could only compress the space, so the area of ​​the world of mountains and seas now is smaller than that recorded in the book. The distance between the mountains is naturally shortened a lot.”

This time Shao Jingxing's mouth opened even wider, and there was a tendency of being unable to close it: "Pangu...the heaven and the earth are as chaotic as a chicken?" Isn't a chicken just a circular closed space.Does Ganqing refer to the world of mountains and seas that was sealed off by Pangu?Fuck me, Pan Gu is too powerful!

"Pangu may be a very rare person with spatial abilities." Huo Qing nodded, "After him, there has never been a person with similar abilities. Nuwa may be, but I'm not sure." After all, Nuwa is just After making up for a day, it may be to repair the enchantment on the basis of Pan Gu, not the original creator, so it is hard to say whether she is a space power user.But to be able to fix it, at least one knows something, otherwise there is no way to start, so I think she "may" be.

This news was so explosive that Shao Jingxing was still thinking about it until he was camping.

The camping was indeed as Zhang Sheng said, find a flat place to light a fire, then set up a tent and it's over.At this point, Zhang Sheng looked at the tent with a strange look: "With this place, it's better to bring more food."

This is what he said from experience, but Huang Yu immediately reprimanded him: "We have Brother Shao!" With Brother Shao here, what food do you bring?Food is everywhere!

It's a pity that this time he was teased by Zhang Sheng again: "Where is there something to eat?" There are no strange beasts between the two mountains, so what to eat?

Huang Yu also choked.So in the end, a pot was put on the fire, and the thick soup with seasoning packets was burned in it, and some shredded ham was cut into it. After it was boiled, it could be eaten with noodles.

The ham and noodles are of course brought by Huo Qing. Although these things will be eroded by the power of the mountains and seas and accelerate their decay once they enter the world of mountains and seas, the vacuum-packed things will not be broken the first day. One fire and it's done.

The thick soup in the jar exuded a burst of aroma, but Shao Jingxing just sat there in a daze.He is still thinking about how Pangu managed this. Could it be that he himself turned into this closed space and locked the world of mountains and seas in it?It's really unbelievable, even with the current technology, it is impossible to do it at all.

Huo Qing knew exactly what he was thinking, so he put a bowl of noodles into his hands and said, "You have to eat?" Today, he had a fight with Huying, did an autopsy, and finally found a place to wash in Changyou Mountain. Washing the dirty blood on the body is really exhausting.Even those with supernatural powers, their stomachs have to play empty tricks.

Shao Jingxing took the chopsticks, and another sentence came out of his mouth: "I still feel very strange..."

This time, no one hated him, and Zhang Sheng only cared about eating.Only Huo Qing took the stage and asked, "What did you think of?"

"I just think it's too strange that there are no strange beasts between the two mountains..." It's impossible for the strange beasts not to go down the mountain, otherwise how would the tiger eagle run to Changyou Mountain, and how could the mutated silverfish leave Rao Mountain ?Since it can go down the mountain, why doesn't it appear on the road between the two mountains?What's more, this road is not a flat road at all. It is also covered with overgrown vegetation and piled up with rocks. Is there any difference between it and the mountain?

Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes and lowered his head to pick up the noodles.Huo Qing smiled, "That's a good question..."

"Brother Huo——" Huang Yu couldn't stand it anymore, "You can't be so partial to Brother Shao, can you? This issue, will there be any results after discussing this issue?"

Perhaps it was because they had fought Huying together, and no matter how they disagreed, Zhang Sheng agreed: "Yes. If you have this time, you might as well think about what happened to Huying's sore."

So the topic went back to the original one: "Is it something like Xuanfeng?"

"There is no poisonous stinger in the sore." The black bee is big and poisonous, but one thing is the same as ordinary bees, that is, the tip of the stinger has a barb, which is not easy to pull out after piercing the skin. pull down.Of course, the thickness of human skin cannot retain the stinger of the black bee, but with the thick skin of a tiger eagle - it is impossible not to retain a single stinger in seven or eight sores.

Moreover, the flesh and blood of the wound is so bright red, it doesn't look like poisoning, this has been confirmed before, otherwise, if it is said to be the venom sprayed by some kind of snake, it makes sense.

"No poison, no parasites, is that bacteria?" Huang Yu rolled the last noodle on the chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, "We just can't see it with the naked eye."

This statement is reasonable, but it is still unverifiable.Huang Yu couldn't help but feel regretful: "It's a pity that we can't get some samples. It would be great if we brought a sealed box or something, and it might be useful to bring some fresh pus back home."

However, this time they did not come out to take samples, so they did not bring any special sampling equipment at all. Huang Yu said this, but he didn't say it, just sighed.

After the meal, it was already completely dark, and the surrounding wind made the grass and trees rustle. If it weren't for the law of "there is no beast between the two mountains", Shao Jingxing felt that he would not dare to sleep at all.

Of course, there will be no strange beasts, and someone still needs to be on duty at night. Huang Yu was the first, and Shao Jingxing hugged the cat and Huo Qing and got into the tent—the tent is just that big, just enough to accommodate two people and one cat , As for Zhang Sheng, of course he was sitting outside.

"Have you burned it?" Regardless of Zhang Sheng's contemptuous gaze, Huo Qing directly closed the door of the tent, lay down side by side with Shao Jingxing, and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." The tent is only big enough for two adult men to lie down on, and with the sticky lump squeezed next to his head, when Huo Qing spoke, his breath was blowing against Shao Jingxing's ears, which really made people... um, I can't hold it anymore.

But when it came to business, Shao Jingxing had no choice but to put away the yellow bubbles in his heart, and replied solemnly: "I found one on the other side of the wing. I burned it, and the sore turned black. Cut it off, and there will be fresh flesh and blood underneath." And it didn't continue to fester.

Of course, he carried Zhang Sheng behind his back when he burned it.At that time, Zhang Sheng was perseveringly dissecting Tiger Eagle's stomach—it was a big project—and he didn't even notice that he took the opportunity to get under the other wing of Tiger Eagle.

"So, it is indeed the same..." Huo Qing murmured.

Shao Jingxing turned his head and looked at him: "Then what do you think it is?"

"It's like a curse." Huo Qing was silent for a moment, then said softly.He didn't know how Tiger Eagle got the trick, but at least he was sure that the sore on his body didn't come into direct contact with the skin—his trousers were intact at the time, but the calf under the trousers had live spots. sore.

And how long these sores existed on tiger eagles.The sore was still alive when the tiger hawk died, which proved that the sore was not grown by the tiger hawk itself; and the sore died after the tiger eagle was completely stiff, which proved that the sore was not a living thing such as parasite or bacteria.After thinking about it, Huo Qing still felt that this was a curse.

"But who will put a curse on the tiger eagle?" Shao Jingxing questioned, "And why are they all on the lower half..." Does the Zha Xiaoren only prick the underside of the wings and the belly?

"Maybe it's some kind of strange beast." Huo Qing pondered, "The so-called curse is just a special ability, and it doesn't necessarily require a human to cast it."

"Then what strange beast can curse?" Shao Jingxing was terrified.

Huo Qing couldn't answer this question for a while: "It's good that Xiaojiu is here..." Shao Jingxing yawned, and reached out for his phone: "Otherwise, open the app to look for it." Although there is no communication signal, the app is still Usable.

"Forget it." Seeing his tired face, Huo Qing said, "Go to bed first." If you search the APP, you may not be able to find it if you search for it in the middle of the night.

Shao Jingxing was indeed sleepy, but lying side by side with Huo Qing, he was a little reluctant to sleep: "You often come to Changyou Mountain?"

"How is it possible?" Huo Qing was a little amused.It's okay, whoever runs to the world of mountains and seas, only comes in when there is a mission, okay?

Shao Jingxing also felt that his question was quite boring, but he wanted to find something to say even if he had nothing to say: "How did Pangu manage to turn the world of mountains and seas into a closed space..."

"I don't know." Huo Qing put one hand behind his head and said flatly, "Pangu's ability is indeed unprecedented. Up to now, the Special Affairs Department has not studied it clearly, and no one can copy it. For thousands of years, There is only one Nuwa who can mend the sky."

"Then why aren't the eyes in the original place?" Shao Jingxing was so sleepy that his eyelids were twitching, and he muttered in a daze, "If it's repaired, it should be back to the original place..."

Huo Qing couldn't help being a little funny seeing him like this: "Stop talking, go to sleep."

"I want to talk to you more..." Shao Jingxing was bewildered, and subconsciously rubbed on Huo Qing's shoulder, "Usually you don't talk..." Only when talking about these things in the world of mountains and seas can Huo Qing talk more Some.

The screen of the phone flickered slightly, faintly illuminating Huo Qing's face and his gentle eyes in the dark tent space: "Is there anything to say usually..."

"There are a lot of things to talk about." Shao Jingxing muttered, "There are so many interesting things in life, and it's not just work. Last time when we went to Shimen, something big happened, and we didn't even have time to see the scenery. Wait until we go out this time. , shall we go play for a few days?"

Huo Qing pondered for a moment.In fact, after this "inspection" of Linghai Gate is over, they will definitely be arranged to go to other gates immediately, where there are "a few days" to play.

Besides, even if you don't enter the world of mountains and seas immediately, there are still many things to investigate, and there may be emergencies to deal with...

However, with Shao Jingxing talking dazedly on his shoulder, Huo Qing felt that it was... cruel to break his hope.So he hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
