Chapter 233 The Finale of Death (23)

Everyone was extremely cautious, Tang Feng tiptoed ahead, suddenly, Yelena stopped him with her hand, Yelena gave him a wink, Tang Feng peeped, and there were several men in black lying in the alleyway ahead!Are they dead?still in...

Tang Feng was suspicious, but Yelena pulled the trigger and fired two shots at those people. Those people fell to the ground, motionless. It seemed that they were indeed dead!Tang Feng and Yelena maintained a high level of alert, but quickened their pace.Soon, the two walked up to those men in black. Tang Feng felt dizzy after only one glance, and even Yelena, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, felt nauseated for a while.

I saw six men in black lying in disorder in the narrow alleyway. Their bodies were covered with bullet holes, but they had stopped bleeding at this moment, and the exposed heads of these men were attacked by something, bloody and bloody. It was horrible, and even one person had exposed his bones.

"This...how did they die?" Tang Feng asked in puzzlement.

Makarov knelt down and observed carefully, and said, "Look, each of them has gunshot wounds, but obviously this is not the cause of their death."

"Oh! Then they are..."

"Look here." As he spoke, Makarov pointed to the chest of one of them. "The ribs have been broken, pierced through the skin, and exposed! There is only one thing that can do this!"

"You mean—giant python?!" Tang Feng said in surprise.

"There are also giant pythons here?" Liang Yuan panicked and looked around in a hurry. There were skeletons everywhere. Where did the giant pythons come from?

"It's not just the python!" Makarov said again, "I'm afraid there are other snakes, and there are many snakes, that's why their bodies are so miserable!"

Yelena nodded, "In a panic, these people fired shots, and even killed each other when their spirits collapsed. The snake probably left here without swallowing them because of the gunshots!"

"Then what should we do now?" Tang Feng asked.

"You must leave here quickly and get out of the mandala!" Yelena said.

Han Jiang pointed to the alleyway behind, "Let's go over there!"

No one said anything, and everyone walked to the back alleyway. Not long after, a few white bones appeared on the ground!Everyone was even more astonished, "This...these people have become a pile of bones so quickly?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

"They died before they could shoot, and were swallowed by snakes," Makarov murmured.

"Yes, they were swallowed by the giant python. When I fought against them, I estimated that there were at least six people on the other side, and there are only four skeletons left here!" Han Jiang analyzed.

"It seems that there is more than one giant python! And I guess these few skeletons were swallowed by thousands of little snakes!"

Tang Feng's words made everyone even more frightened.Yelena urged: "Go! Get out of here!" But as soon as Yelena finished speaking, Liang Yuan screamed, because a snake was wrapped around her ankle.

Tang Feng pulled out the dagger, cut off the snake on Liang Yuan's feet, pulled Liang Yuan up and ran forward.The five people did not dare to stay, and ran forward desperately, as if there were countless snakes chasing them behind them.

Running, Tang Feng suddenly felt the ground under his feet began to tremble again, and the skeletons on both sides of the alleyway began to change, and various strange expressions appeared on the faces of these skeletons. For a moment, Tang Feng felt that these skeletons seemed to be endowed with Life is trying its best to get out of the skull wall and attack itself...

With a sound of "bang--", Tang Feng, who was running, was blocked by something. Tang Feng didn't have time to take a closer look, and continued to pull Liang Yuan forward. Running, Tang Feng instinctively waved the gun in his right hand. The dagger seemed to be fending off the skeletons that kept coming out beside him, but when he really stabbed the dagger at the skeleton beside him, it didn't hit anything.

Tang Feng didn't care to think too much, he felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, there were countless pairs of fleshless arms grabbing him, and there were countless big and small snakes coming out of the hollow body of the skeleton... Finally, Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan out of the narrow alleyway, but before he could feel happy, he found himself back in the rotunda again.

Tang Feng stood in the center of the circular hall, turned around and looked, Han Jiang, Yelena and Makarov also rushed into the hall, Tang Feng was dizzy for a while, at this moment, he could no longer distinguish whether all this was his hallucination, or those The skeleton is really possessed by the soul!
"What... what's going on? We're back in this hall again!" Yelena said in surprise.

"It seems that we are completely lost in this skeleton mandala!" Makarov said dejectedly.

"It's not just lost here, there are also these skeletons possessed by souls and thousands of snakes!" Yelena said again.

"Have you noticed, where is the man in the cloak?" Han Jiang reminded suddenly.

"It seems that they left here!" Makarov said.

When everyone was surprised, several snakes came in from the top of the rotunda, and then three giant pythons slid out from the three doors of the rotunda respectively. The mandala was still trembling, and the snakes More and more, tens of thousands of snakes continuously drilled out of the gaps and tops of the skeletons, approaching Tang Feng and the others little by little...

Tang Feng tried his best to calm his mind down. He knew that he would not be able to get out of the mandala any more. Ba Siba... Tang Feng thought of the inscriptions of Ba Siba and Liu Bingzhong. Is there a big mystery in the mandala?What big mystery?Tang Feng closed his eyes and carefully chewed the words in the inscription. Suddenly, Tang Feng opened his eyes, and he understood a little bit, "Basiba built the skeleton mandala back then to block the road leading to Mi City from the outside world. , why didn't he just destroy the long embankment leading to Mi City? He must still want to leave a passage into Mi City, but he can't let people easily find this passage..."

Han Jiang interrupted Tang Feng's words, and said angrily: "What are you going to say? It's already this time!"

"What I want to talk about is the great mystery of the skeleton mandala!" Tang Feng's words were unusually calm.

"Big mystery? Have you figured it out now?"

"Basiba left this passage leading to Micheng, but in order to prevent people from easily entering Micheng, he created a suspicious formation in this mandala. It is very likely that these snakes were also raised by Basiba back then." Tang Feng said.

"You mean these snakes were raised by Basiba?"

"Yes, he wants to leave a passage, and he doesn't want ordinary people to get out of here easily. Obviously, the passage he left is not for the party members, but for them to enter Mi City if necessary one day. Then, I think Ba Siba must have a special method so that his people will not get lost in the mandala, let alone be in danger like us in the mandala!"

Tang Feng's words reminded everyone, "Yes, Basiba must have left a special passage in the mandala for his own people!" Han Jiang deduced.

"No, it doesn't necessarily have to be a special passage, it may very well be some specific route in the mandala, and that special passage is the great mystery of the mandala!" Tang Feng said firmly.

"A specific route? Where is it?" Han Jiang asked impatiently.

Just as Tang Feng was about to speak, he suddenly caught sight of Liang Yuan who had been silent all this time, "What are you talking about?"

"Chanting! Now when I get nervous, I think of that scripture."

"Chanting? It's the scripture your father taught you!"

"Well, that's the scripture!"

Liang Yuan stopped chanting, strange to say, the mandala no longer shakes, the skeletons that are about to move have also returned to calm, and the snake in the circular hall no longer moves forward. Liang Yuan looked at the scene in front of her in amazement, "Is it ...Could this have something to do with the scriptures I recited?"

The crowd confronted tens of thousands of snakes, Tang Feng was still thinking about the big mystery of Basiba, he took two quick steps, and came to one of the skeleton walls, those snakes did not rush up, but retreated, Tang Feng Feng clearly saw the scriptures inscribed on the bones, and read out these scriptures in a low voice. Everyone was puzzled, followed Tang Feng's footsteps, and walked slowly around the circular hall. In front of the gate that he had never entered, Tang Feng stopped in his tracks. After a suffocating silence, Tang Feng suddenly turned around, his eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "I...I think I found Ba Siba's Great mystery!"

"Say it!" Han Jiang urged.

"Basiba engraved the Tripitaka on these skeletons, not only to save the souls of the dead, but also to hide a secret - the skeletons engraved with scriptures are arranged in a certain order. In short, we only need to Follow the order of the Tripitaka, and you should be able to walk out of the mandala."

"That is to say, it is difficult for people who don't understand Buddhist scriptures to get out of the mandala?" Liang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Yes, only eminent monks who are proficient in Buddhist scriptures can walk out of the mandala smoothly in accordance with the order of scriptures on these skeletons and white bones!"

"So, are you okay?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng.

Tang Feng nodded hesitantly, "I was interested in the Tripitaka when I was in school, and I learned it from Professor Luo later, so it should be fine."

"Hurry up, then! I don't want to wait here until dark!"

Han Jiang's words startled everyone. Han Jiang fired several shots at the snake on the door, and then covered the crowd to pass through the snakes and rush into the alley in front of them.A few snakes landed on them, and Liang Yuan kept screaming, until Tang Feng threw the snakes off him, and Liang Yuan stopped screaming.

Tang Feng walked in front. He walked quickly through the lanes according to the order of the "Tripitaka". He only stopped when he encountered a fork in the road, carefully identified it, and then chose one of them in the correct order to move forward. Strange to say, they didn't meet snakes or men in black on this journey, and the mandala was surprisingly peaceful.

The front suddenly opened up, and the hot sun was waiting for them at the exit of the mandala. Although it was daytime, although they could see the sun above their heads, the sunlight could not enter the mandala. The whole mandala was gloomy. At this moment, Tang Feng only Wanting to quickly expose his cold body to the scorching sun, he couldn't help speeding up his steps, but Makarov's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Wait, Tang Feng."

Everyone stopped and looked at Makarov. Makarov turned sideways, panting heavily, looked at the sunny exit of the mandala, and looked at the gloomy and gloomy mandala at the other end. Suddenly asked: "Tang Feng, you just said that only those who are familiar with the "Tripitaka" can walk out of the mandala, so what about the general's people?"

"The general's people? If they walked out of the mandala before us, then some of them must be familiar with the Tripitaka, but I think they are still wandering around the mandala at this moment! Or they just quit the mandala .”

"Oh! Are you so confident? If it's what you said, then we can get rid of the general, at least temporarily." Makarov said.

"I think so. We can at least temporarily get rid of those men in black. Master Basiba helped us. Our main opponent is probably that oasis of death!"

"Oasis of death?!" Tang Feng's words shocked everyone again. Just walked out of the eerie mandala, and are going to enter another terrifying oasis of death?Everyone was thinking wildly, and walked out of the skeleton mandala. The scenery in front of them was even more surprising. They seemed to have come to another world. The desert here has receded, and at the end of the long embankment there is a lush green. The outlines of some ancient buildings can be vaguely seen. Is that the Mi city they are looking for?

【No.13 Oasis Trap】

Tang Feng walked to the end of the long embankment. Here is a large green grassland. On the edge of the grassland are towering trees. There are cedars, yews, and many trees he doesn't know. Everything is so peaceful. Can't see the slightest danger.

As his feet walked from the white sand to the soft grass, Tang Feng seemed to be shocked by electricity for an instant, and that strange feeling hit his whole body again.Everyone walked carefully through the grass and came to the edge of the forest. Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang. Han Jiang walked into the forest first, and Tang Feng followed Liang Yuan into the forest.

"This... this is really amazing! Are we still in the desert?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

Tang Feng pinched Han Jiang hard, and asked, "Are you sure?"

Han Jiang gritted his teeth in pain, and cursed: "You must be sure to pinch yourself! You actually pinched me!"

"I can be sure now that we are not dreaming and this is not a mirage!"

Tang Feng's words eased the tense atmosphere of the crowd. He couldn't see anything scary about this oasis. Everyone walked forward for a while, and Tang Feng suddenly noticed that the grass under his feet was gone, replaced by a layer of lichen. Can't help but be surprised, "The plants here are too strange, many of them shouldn't appear here, and there are many I haven't seen at all!"

Looking up at the forest, Makarov exclaimed, "That's right, many plants here shouldn't be here at all, and there are many plants I've never seen before."

Tang Feng thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps... maybe this is because of the special geographical and climate environment of Wild Wolf Valley, a stable small environment has been formed here. This stable small environment is isolated from the world, and it is likely to retain many Ancient plants that we have never seen before created this magical oasis, and Yuan Hao discovered this oasis and decided to build Micheng here."

"But I can't see anything dangerous here?" Liang Yuan looked around the dense forest curiously.

"Maybe danger will come soon, it's better to be careful!" Tang Feng warned Liang Yuan.

"Tang Feng, your words reminded me of a terrible thing!" Yelena suddenly said nervously.

Everyone stopped and turned to Yelena together, "Oh, what's so terrible?"

Yelena looked around for a while, and Yelena's eyes looked as if something terrible would come out of the dense forest soon, "Tang Feng said that the unique small environment here is isolated from the world, and many ancient times that have disappeared will be preserved. Plants, I...I suddenly thought, if the unique small environment here can preserve many ancient plants that have disappeared, then, will it also preserve many ancient animals that have disappeared?!"

Yelena's voice was not loud, but it made everyone present feel horrified. Everyone's mind was filled with the huge and terrifying unknown skeleton at the seaside.Could that monster still exist in this oasis?
Tang Feng stared at the surrounding dense forest with terrified eyes, silently, "Can't see any animals?"

"What is the name of that monster on the Qixue Jun stele?" Han Jiang suddenly remembered the awkward name.

"Kai Li!" Tang Feng said.

"Judging from the meaning of the inscription, Basiba and the others have already invaded Micheng. I think Kublai Khan's army should have wiped out Kaili, otherwise, how could they have invaded Micheng?" Han Jiang deduced.

"Have Kui been wiped out? But the inscription did not clearly mention the ending of those monsters! It only said that Ba Siba was rationalized by Buddhism." Tang Feng also recalled a few words about Kui on the Xuejun stele.

"I just deduce according to common sense that Kaili is extremely vicious. We have seen this in Qianhu Town. If Kublai Khan's army can't destroy Kaili, how can they attack Micheng? Zhi' is just a nice way of saying it, I think this 'transformation' means to eliminate, so is it possible that Basiba is really a god-man who can teach ferocious beasts?"

"When I saw the inscription at the time, I was puzzled by this sentence. But that's what the inscription said. If the cockroaches are eliminated, just say that the cockroaches are eliminated, so I think there must be something strange in it!"
