Holy Bone

Chapter 994
According to Mo Lao's method of knotting ropes and keeping track of events, the rest of the journey really became much smoother. The team went all the way deep into the mountains and forests without returning to the original point.

It's just that the further you go in, the louder the roar of the wind is, as if countless ghosts of the dead are trapped in the mountains and forests, and they can't get out.

Mo Lao, who was at the forefront, turned his head and shouted to the team to keep up. He got separated from the team here, and no one could save him.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise, which startled the team that was engrossed in their journey, and the sky and the earth were instantly pierced white by a flash of lightning, and then dimmed instantly.

Click!

Rumble!
The lightning was getting faster and faster, Jin An looked up and saw the sky above the head was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was blowing violently, blowing up the wind and sand that captivated the eyes.

"It's going to rain heavily!" The old Taoist looked up at the sky and said solemnly.

"It's raining? This is the Gobi desert. There are ten suns above our heads that are scorching the earth. Where is the rain coming from?" Someone made a puzzled voice.

But his voice of questioning immediately shut up, stimulating the lightning to illuminate the mountain forest, and everyone saw a winding dry river bed in the mountain forest.

When they ran close to the riverbed, they found that this was not the only riverbed, and there were several branches joining together in several other places.But without exception, these are all dry riverbeds.

None of the people present were stupid, the river bed, the thunderstorm, the heavy rain, the flood, everyone who reacted, immediately accelerated their pace and hurried to leave the forest before it rained or find a safe place to shelter from the rain.At this time, no one cares why it can rain here.

People always say that the power of the sky is unpredictable, and a downpour will come as soon as it is said.

Rumble!
The torrential rain was like a waterfall, throwing dust on the ground, and the roar of the rain was like a thousand troops charging with iron hooves.

Although Luo Tian sacrificed Fengshui Lingzhu to isolate the outside world from the wind and rain, and temporarily opened up a shelter for the team, but the heavy rain continued like a waterfall, making it even more difficult to distinguish directions in the dark night, which was already difficult to see, which was not conducive to breaking the formation.So the team discussed and planned to find a high ground to rest first. They couldn't go on the road tonight, and it was a big taboo to go on a rainy night.

In the end, they found a crack on a mountain peak to take shelter from the rain. The crack had serious wear marks from time to time, and it should have cracked naturally due to weathering.

This rainstorm is not all a bad thing, at least it solves the urgent need of water shortage

After everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and drank enough water, they began to take out the water bladders, and filled them with water one by one.

crackling.

A few torches flickered lightly, providing dim lighting to the cave, and Jin An placed the statue of a human-faced god at the entrance of the cave to watch the night.

The rain outside was still heavy, like a big funnel opened in the sky, and the rain was pouring like a torrential rain, with no intention of stopping at all.

Just when everyone was sleeping or meditating to recover their strength, and when the only sound of rain was left in the cave, there was a muffled rumble that woke up all the meditators.

But the rainy night was vast, and it was pitch black outside, so I couldn't see much.

"That movement, a bit like the movement of landslides like buildings falling?" Uncle Lin frowned and looked at the dark world outside the cave.

"I think so too." Master Xuanlei nodded in thought.

The morale of the team immediately became tense: "Landslide? Is it because of the heavy rain that it was washed and collapsed by the heavy rain? Will our place be affected as well?"

Everyone immediately felt a sense of crisis. The mountain had already been weathered and cracked. If one of the many peaks collapsed first, their mountain must be at the top, with the highest probability of landslides.

Thinking of this, everyone began to carefully look at the cave wall above their heads and the surrounding cave walls with torches in their hands, so as to eliminate the crisis in advance.Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, something fell from the wall of the cave above his head and fell hard to the ground.

It was a piece of dry soil, and a huge centipede was curled up in the soil.

"Sea centipede!" Everyone was stunned, since they entered the forest, they encountered strange things along the way.

The insects in the soil clods are curled up and have centipedes. Everyone immediately recognizes the insects in the soil clods as sea centipedes.

It's just that this sea centipede is much smaller, only two fingers long.

The whole body of sea centipede is shriveled and lacks moisture, just like the mummy of centipede in traditional Chinese medicine.

As the heavy rain continued, the resonance of the mountain and the rain made the cave precarious, with a lot of dust and dust falling down.

Moth

Moth

……

One after another, the soil was shaken down by the rain, the soil shattered all over the ground, and the centipede mummy fell out.

Almost every one of these muds can fall out of the centipede mummy, and in a short period of time, seven or eight pieces fell off.While Jin An was studying these mummy centipedes, the amber stone in his arms showed a new change, and another crack appeared.

This matter immediately made Jin An take care of these centipede corpses.

At this time, there was movement outside the cave. After the heavy rain washed away, a few rocks rolled down from the mountain, just fell on the entrance of the cave, and a few dry centipede corpses fell out.

These centipede corpses are not only found in the cave, but also outside the mountain.

What happened next was even more treacherous.

When those centipede corpses were poured by the rain, their bodies re-swelled and became full, and their carapaces became shiny again.

"Aren't these centipede corpses dead? Could they all be alive!" Someone in the team said in surprise.

"How is this possible! These centipede corpses have been sealed in the mountain for thousands of years, how could they still be alive!" Someone showed an expression of disbelief.

"The world is full of wonders. We have even seen the wonders of the sun rising and the sky darkening, and the setting sun brightening. This is the Godland of Returning to the Ruins, and no matter what happens, it is possible." Another person frowned and said in thought.

The old Taoist also gathered around to watch the excitement, and then said in amazement: "Actually, this is nothing new. The old people in the countryside have heard the saying 'Grass seeds for thousands of years, fish eggs for ten thousand years', which roughly means that as long as the environment is stable , Fish eggs can survive for a long time, and then hatch into small fish in a suitable environment. Farmers often encounter small fish and shrimps in the farmland after rain.”

Among the people present, they were either high-ranking people who were well-clothed and well-fed, or people who practiced hard. How could they hear these folk stories, and they listened with gusto for a while.

"Unexpectedly, Daoist Chen besides traveling around, knowing astronomy and geography, is also close to the lives of the people, and knows many folk affairs." The third prince praised him, making the old Taoist smile from ear to ear and pretending to be calm and ethereal. A little funny.

Jin An raised his brows and said, "After the old Taoist said this, I also remembered something... There is a zombie fish that will bury itself in the soil before the dry season, and can sleep for up to four years without eating or drinking. , until the next rainy season comes and the rain revives."

"In this way, these zombie centipedes are similar to zombie fish."

As if to fulfill Jin'an's words, those zombie centipedes swelled with water, and after they were full, they shot suddenly, like an arrow off the string, shooting at the old Taoist priest who was squatting on the ground and looking at them all the time. The speed was very fast and the angle was tricky. It was so vicious that even the old Taoist had no time to react.
