endless route.

Chapter 170 9. The Giant Turtle Pagoda of Xianhai Lake

The stone path in front of it looks strange. I don’t know how old it is. The stone surface is full of vicissitudes and cracks, deeply embedded in the soil, and covered with gray moss.

Moreover, the height, width and width are also different. From a distance, each step of stone slabs is scattered and inclined, like a path leading to an evil temple in the mountains and forests, with an evil nature.

"Master Xian, it's better to have a road than no road."

"Master Ji should have just walked along the road."

Zhang Ergou, the little Taoist and others didn't know where the road led to, and Ji Dao never told them about it.

But the path left by the ancients.

Should be no problem.

"Put on the gas mask and gloves." Zheng Yun decided to take a look along this road while it was still bright, and ordered everyone to be fully armed.

Then he sent two ghost generals to walk in the front with long knives in their hands, and cut down the branches that invaded the road.

"Master Xian, look over there."

When everyone put on the equipment carefully, Zhang Ergou suddenly shook his body and raised his finger to the top of their heads in the northwest.

Crowds of black shadows hovered high in the sky.

Turned into a string of small black dots.

After a rough estimate, the black bird was two or three times larger than the crane, and I don't know what kind of fairy bird was hunting.

"My lord, the gravity coefficient of this planet is about 0.7 Earth, but the bone structure of such a huge bird should be extraordinary." Kaidester said with bright eyes.

The crane we saw on the road just now is comparable to the ancient pterosaurs on Earth. The black bird we see now is much larger than the pterosaurs, and is really extremely rare.

"Go ahead."

"Don't get caught."

Zheng Yun waved his hand immediately, and told the little Taoist priest with the demon dog to follow the ghost general, and the rest followed closely behind into the vegetation.

He has seen cranes carrying people with his own eyes, and he knows that these birds are not fuel-efficient lamps, and humans are also in their diet.

Don't neglect!

Following the two ghost generals in front, they raised their knives silently and cut off the branches of strange plants they had never seen before. Everyone lined up and walked in the center of the stone path.

This time I went completely into the rainforest.

The left and right are opaque and unknown vegetation, among which there are many climbing plants and strange fungi.

On a planet with a low gravity coefficient, the advantages of climbing vines are very obvious. It is not a problem to grow three to fifty meters long. The thigh-thick vines are entangled like a group of snakes.

Walked less than [-] meters.

They got into a group of red vines, and the surrounding trees were entangled to death by the blood-red vines, and a full hundred meters in front of them was dripping with blood.

I don't know how long this climbing vine has lived. It is like an arch bridge in front of the field of vision. The delicate vines are like blood thread worms, covering the entire stone road.

The scene looked appalling.

It was like a river of blood overflowing a stone road.

If the ancient people were walking at night with lanterns and suddenly saw this scene, they would be paralyzed with fright on the spot.

"Master Xian, this thing is poisonous." Zhang Ergou took out a small pouch, looked carefully, and told Zheng Yun.

But there is no need for him to say.

Zheng Yun could also see it.

There is no trace of green on the left and right of the red vine, and there is not even a single weed in the soil, obviously poisoned by it.

Plants are by no means a supporting role in the evolution of life. The intensity of competition is also extremely cruel. No one can survive billions of years. Even the most harmless tomato can actually secrete highly toxic.

But not fruit.

Just in the growth phase.

The fruit is still edible.

"Can you go around?"

Zheng Yun looked to the left and right, this bloody climbing vine was not easy to mess with at first glance, even they had to stay away, unless they brought a box of paraquat over to try to compete with it.

"It seems not."

The others looked left and right and shook their heads.

Although Zheng Yun and the others hesitated, the ghost general walking in the front did not hesitate, stepping on the climbing vines and turned over.

"Ghost..."

Zhang Ergou was startled.

Zheng Yun followed immediately.

The ghost generals with the cold fairy jars on their backs can't get through, and they need to help each other to pass this level safely.

It's been like this all the way since.

The demon dog pulled the leash and walked straight forward, probably smelling their master's smell, the savior was eager to ignore the danger.

This scene made Zhang Ergou deeply envious. After his fake death, the blood monkeys he raised applauded happily, as if they were going mad, and even fell happily from the treetops.

It's a big filial piety.

There is really no comparison.

They went deep in one breath for a long time, and they never encountered obstacles, because they didn't touch anything, they didn't take anything, they walked as quietly as possible, their nerves were tense and cautious.

But every once in a while, I heard some strange movements in the depths of the woods, and I couldn't tell what the source of the sound was.

Zheng Yun would say a few words to the walkie-talkie every [-] meters, hoping to get a response from Ji Dao, but there was no response all the time, indicating that Ji Dao was at least five kilometers away.

There is no choice.

Can only continue to move forward.

About two kilometers away from the west gate of Tiangong, the stone road in front of them suddenly turned uphill, and the water of Xianhai Lake could be faintly seen in the gap between the vegetation on the right hand.

This stone path is parallel to the coast of Xianhai Lake, but it is getting closer and closer to Xianhai Lake. Looking up, the vegetation turns into a dark and treacherous corridor, leading to a deep place.

"and many more."

Zheng Yun suddenly stopped everyone.

He has been looking for the traces left by Ji Dao on the road, and at this moment he finally found something. He saw a series of dry and fine fragrant sand on the side of the stone road.

He didn't see this at first.

It was the demon dog in the hands of the little Taoist priest. It suddenly shifted from the center and walked along the left side of the road. Zheng Yun looked to the right and found these very strange biological feces.

The fragrant sand of a normal creature, even if it is not wet, should be complete, and it will not be scattered all the way like this.

Squat down and take a closer look.

Zheng Yun guessed with more certainty that the fragrant sand obviously had artificial traces, and it must have been sprinkled by Ji Dao along the way.

"Master Xian, what's the matter?"

Zhang Ergou asked puzzledly, and Kadster and the others immediately squatted down, looking nervously at Zheng Yun.

Although this section of the road is mostly led by Zhang Ergou, Zheng Yun and Ji Dao are the real "masters of the Tao", and Zheng Yun's words carry more weight than their words.

Especially those little Taoist priests.

As soon as the word "wait" was spoken, their legs were so frightened that they immediately stopped and waited for Zheng Yun's instructions.

Cadster thought the same way.

When he saw the Han Xian in the rainforest tank before, his brain froze for a moment. The Han Xian who killed countless teammates and forced him to linger on his last breath was actually given as a decoration.

At this moment, Zheng Yun's expression was solemn, he must have discovered something important to everyone's life and death, then every word Zheng Yun said next was extremely critical, and they needed to take it seriously!
"Pick up this thing and apply it on your body."

Zheng Yun picked up a piece of fragrant sand and said seriously.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads, held their breath and looked at the object in Zheng Yun's hand, only to see that it was... dry poop?

Although I don't want to believe it.

But no matter how you distinguish it, the gray-brown solid in Zheng Yun's finger is a kind of biological feces...

Some people are wondering why.

Some people just get started.

The little Taoist's admiration for Zheng Yun is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and they don't care about the reasons.

Zheng Yun asked them to pick it up, even if Zheng Yun said it was a treasure for them to eat, they didn't hesitate.

Although they are Yin soldiers, they can't refuse Zheng Yun's order, but there is still a difference between subjective and passive.

"Master Xian, is this Xiangsha?"

Zhang Ergou picked up one and asked.

Fragrant sand is a type of Chinese herbal medicine, and it is also the general name of biological medicine feces. After being subdivided into different types, each has its own elegant name. Many people turn pale when they smell feces, but they may actually drink it.

Moon sand, luminous sand, ambergris, and white clove are all famous fragrant sands, which existed before the Ming Dynasty.

"Ji Dao threw the fragrant sand here, there must be some reason, maybe it forced some things back here, and at the same time, it also allowed us to go all the way smoothly and get here safely."

Zheng Yun nodded to explain.

No matter what Ji Dao forced back here, they could bring these fragrant sands with them in case they were needed.

It was like yesterday to dispel the cold immortals on the Lianhuan ancient ship. The method of Xiangsha restraint has a long history and is reasonable, and it can be regarded as the key magic weapon in dangerous places outside the territory.

Its principle is very scientific and easy to understand.

Creatures in nature often use feces to track hunting or delineate territories, and the weak can also use the smell of feces to avoid hunting and hunting. This is an instinct that has been imprinted deep in the genes for hundreds of millions of years, even in humans.

In the early years, there was an ancient method of treating phobia or hysteria, which was to bring people into the hut, and after smelling it, they could heal themselves, and the patient would feel safe when they smelled the same smell.

This fragrant sand restraint method.

It is a thorough ancient oriental empiricism.

There is nothing to study about its principle, but it is extremely difficult to summarize and organize. It needs to be searched deeply and dangerously, and after countless attempts, it can finally be compiled into a book.

It is not easy to come by.

There is no need to feel disgusted.

Hearing Zheng Yun's words, everyone started their hands one after another, picked up the fragrant sand and moistened it with water, and spread the smell on their bodies.

Then the team moved on.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the little Taoist also referred to Zheng Yun, squatting on the side of the cobblestone road, pointing at something and calling in a low voice: "Master Xian, is this also something left by Master Ji?"

Zheng Yun looked sideways.

It turned out to be an exquisite copper cup with some liquid in it. It was placed on the ground in a triangle shape by three ordinary branches. It looked like a sacrifice. It looked extremely strange.

"It should be."

Zheng Yun frowned and nodded.

But they don't know this stuff.

"Copper cup? What's the use of this?"

Zhang Ergou also showed doubts. He raised his head and looked around, only to find that a huge rock in front of him was actually engraved with a very strange inscription: "Look at this side, Lord Xian."

Zheng Yun also looked up.

The inscription is like a Taoist talisman, with a complex structure of winding and winding, more than 40 centimeters in length, but it is just one character, with a treasure head on the top and a walking side below.

A mess in the middle.

There are gold, wood, water, fire, sun, moon, cloud and rain.

"..."

Everyone was silent.

This kid Ji Dao was born in Tiangong, according to what he said, he learned Tiangong's fairy arts, but Tiangong's other magic arts dare to be called the plenum, and he has learned very complicated skills.

No one knows the origin of the inscription on the copper cup, what it says, and what is the purpose of placing it.

"The inscription on this stone should be ancient, and it was not drawn by Ji Dao himself. It may be that it needs to be sacrificed. Ji Dao has already sacrificed it. Let's go directly." Zheng Yun didn't think too much.

The team moves on.

This walk is two kilometers.

Although there is a shock, it is not dangerous.

The fragrant sand and various methods that Ji Dao sprinkled along the way may be because he encountered some danger and was forced to spill things, otherwise he didn't need to sprinkle it at all, as long as he smeared all the fragrant sand on his body, it would be enough to protect his body Safety.

Think of it this way.

Ji Dao's journey is really dangerous.

Just seven or eight kinds of fragrant sand were sprinkled, and various strange methods were left in three or four places, and there were also several thirsty blood spots that could not be clearly identified as human blood, which could be life-threatening every time.

But no matter how many dangers Ji Dao encountered, it actually helped Zheng Yun and others who came later escaped many dangers, especially the Xiangsha dispersal method, which saved a lot of trouble.

This is what the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade.

But it was not completely without danger. Halfway through the gap in the grass and trees on their right hand, they saw immortal beasts churning in the lake in Xianhai Lake, with a length of at least thirty feet!

This scene is breathtaking.

Everyone in Zheng Yun took out their binoculars to observe, but they saw that the thing resembled the ancient long-necked dragon on the earth, and it was also like the "dragon" mentioned by Ji Daokou, and more like the legendary "fairy lake monster". '

It is five kilometers until you walk out of the west gate of Tiangong.

When Zheng Yun picked up the walkie-talkie again to inquire, some faint echoes finally sounded from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

I can not hear you.

But Ji Dao is ahead.

Within ten kilometers at most!

After hearing the news, Zheng Yun couldn't help making people speed up. Their journey had been delayed for too long, the sun was setting and the sky was covered with yellow clouds, and it was already evening in the Heavenly Palace!
If the delay continues, they may have to spend the night outside the territory, which is absolutely unimaginable danger.

The team immediately accelerated.

But if the speed is fast, negligence is prone to occur. After running less than 1000 meters, the ghost general walking at the front of the team suddenly raised his knife and stabbed it fiercely into the dim vegetation.

欻拉.

Haw Haw!
The sharp screams echoed in all directions.

They didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, but now they were completely shattered by that unknown thing!

Zheng Yun quickly took a few steps to look around.

On the long knife of the ghost general, there is an indescribable thing, which looks like an owl's body with sharp teeth, and on the slender fangs, it even sprays poison into the air...

"Stay vigilant."

"Go ahead."

Zheng Yun picked up the thermal imager and looked around at the creatures around the rainforest, and at the same time took out the walkie-talkie and asked, "Ji Dao, can you hear me? How is your situation?"

rustling.

There was a lot of noise coming from the intercom.

Some faint human voices were mixed in.

Ji Dao should be still alive, but I don't know if he was injured or lost any key parts.

Can't care about anything else.

Zheng Yun led the people to run forward.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the corridors built by weird vegetation are getting darker, and the stone road under the feet is gradually becoming unclear, but the rainforest is becoming more and more lively.

With the arrival of night, there are birds, big and small, moving in the distance, one after another, and there are also some thick calls that seem to be giant creatures, which makes people's scalp numb.

Those who should go home should go home.

Those who should travel at night should go out immediately.

The night barrier is gradually rising at the edge of Xianhai Lake, and it is foreseeable that their side will also be covered by the fog barrier in a short time.

Run two or three kilometers quickly.

The voice on the walkie-talkie gradually became clearer, but it was always within a certain range, which meant that the distance between them and Ji Dao was only slightly closer, and at the same time, it meant that Ji Dao was not directly ahead.

According to the triangulation method of the walkie-talkie, Ji Dao was in front of their left or right, within about eight kilometers.

But they are in danger on the left and right.

On the left is a steep rock wall towering into the sky.

On the right hand is the dangerous heart of Xianhai Lake.

These two sides are not places where people can go!Ji Dao could not fly up the rock wall, and at the same time it was impossible to swim into the lake.

Where did this Jidao go?Did he fork in the road, or was he forced to go to the lake?Could it be that he was eaten by Jiaolong and brought into the lake in Jiaolong's stomach?
"Master Xian, what is that in front?"

Zhang Ergou looked around with the binoculars, suddenly found something, trembling all over, pointed to the front right and whispered.

Zheng Yun picked up the binoculars and looked at it. The sight made him tremble all over, and a series of chills appeared on the tailbone!

The stone path under their feet draws a small arc in front of them, clinging to the foot of the steep rock wall. About four or five kilometers away, the stone path and the lake are completely adjacent.

At this moment.

On the shore of the lake, there was a turtle-like creature with a body length of ten meters lying on its stomach. It didn't look like an ordinary turtle, but more like a turtle, one from ancient times.

Because there is a hexagonal tower on the back of the turtle.

At this moment, the sky is gloomy, and the tower is pitch black, and I can't see the material clearly, but there are at least two floors, the pointed cornices are in a strange style, and the structure is delicate and scary.

What's happening here?
How long did Da'ao live?When did this tower melt into its back?What's weird inside the tower?
