death row

Chapter 241

After hearing this, we all felt that this method was unbelievable, but it was just right. It seems that human wisdom is really endless. It is really amazing to be able to open up space to support two kinds of giant creatures and let them grow normally without destroying the local ecological balance. God's fault.

"But if two giant beasts are raised together, can they live in peace?" I asked.

"To be precise, they live in the same cave, but the cave is divided into two. The body of the giant gecko is stuck in a stone wall. It has been like this since the first time we saw it. It should be the evil spirit of the year. The beast master did it on purpose."

"Maybe he was worried that the Gu beast would become uncontrollable once it grew up, so he thought of an idea to fix its body in a certain space to block it, and the living space of the giant python is on the back of the Gu beast, that is, in the same room as its tail. , The small hole on the stone circle we are standing on is located above the tail, when the blood sprinkles on the tail, it is the beginning of attracting the giant python to attack."

"It's no wonder Taoist nuns pour blood here. It turns out that the stone circle has such a function. It's really amazing." I admired from the bottom of my heart.

The man in sackcloth shook his head and said: "You are wrong, this function was only used by people after the giant python grew up, but the real function was not like this at the beginning, can you think of its real function?"

We looked at the conical stone wall carefully, but we couldn't find anything unusual. Seeing that no one of us spoke, we said: "It seems that no one can think of it. In fact, the function of this thing was to kill people. This Gu beast, because it was worried that the body of the Gu beast would grow too big, so it polished a conical stone top above the fixed body."

"Once the body of the Gu beast breaks through the limit and grows to the conical stone top, it will be pierced into the body by the sharp stone top to kill the Gu beast. If it can grow to the top of the stone, it must be at the tail, and it cannot cause fatal damage."

"As time passed, people discovered another dangerous situation. This is also related to the giant beast itself, because the size of the giant beast is always growing, and the grotto that fixed it is gradually bursting. The evil beast master Based on an accurate calculation, based on its growth rate, it will break free this year at most, and by then the entire Qingxi Mountain will become its old nest."

"This may cause great suffering to the local ecological environment, and the people living here will also be in great trouble. Of course, given the environment and landforms of Wuliang Mountain, it is impossible for the islanders to dispatch troops and use heavy weapons, because the losses caused by this method It may even be more destructive than the Gu beast itself, so the plan to raise the white python has changed. The evil beast master pinned his hope on the white snake. If it can strangle the Gu beast, then the loss to Wuliang Mountain can be minimized .”

I didn't expect human beings to have such a plan, but we also understand why there is a saying about the day when the old dragon crosses the catastrophe. It seems that "crossing the catastrophe" is impossible. Humans will never let such a huge giant When the beast breaks out of the ground and invades the human world, at most it kills the white coastline.

Thinking of this, I felt somewhat inexplicably sympathetic to the Gu Beast, because it was created abruptly by human beings, but will be destroyed by human hands. This kind of fate is really worthy of sympathy.

Mai Ren said: "You already know the plan, so I hope everyone can successfully complete this mission."

Everyone who said a word looked at each other, and I said: "What task are you and we going to accomplish? From what we just said, we can't hear any connection?"

"There is a deep relationship, because first of all, due to the particularity of this mission, it is impossible for soldiers to intervene. We can only find civilian forces with special backgrounds to intervene in this matter. Your identities are the most suitable." looking at us.

Liao Xingtian suddenly realized: "No wonder you helped us inexplicably along the way. It turned out to be for this reason. I just want to know why you didn't say it earlier."

"The reason is very simple. If you don't see these strange things with your own eyes, how many people can believe such things? Besides, it's not easy to refuse when you promise my favor, right?"

"But what about the evil beast master in the yew bush? Did you kill it?" I asked, never believing in my heart that Xie Chenglin had the ability to kill that woman.

The man in sackcloth said inexplicably: "The evil beast master's ability is much higher than ours, I don't want to cause trouble for myself, besides, the evil beast master is a group in Qingxi Mountain, not a single person, even we You need their permission to enter the mountain, so why kill them?"

"But there was indeed an evil beast master blocking the way at the entrance to the mountain. Today we passed by and found an extra tomb, and her name was still on the tombstone."

I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Could it be that there is another force here, and he killed the evil beast master?But if he had the ability to kill ghost beast masters, then of course he wouldn't be an ordinary person.

The man in sackcloth frowned slightly and said, "Take me there to see the situation."

We explained the situation clearly along the way, and when we arrived at the earthen graves next to the yew clump, the man in sackcloth looked around and said, "Is this the cemetery of the ghost beast master and her family?"

After getting an affirmative answer, the man in sackcloth carefully looked around the cemetery. After a long time, he clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Don't you see that the soil in these graves is the same? Whether it is the so-called The old tomb or this new tomb, the color of the soil is basically the same?"

"This..." We were stopped by the question, and none of us noticed the color of the soil in the earthen tomb. At this time, it seems that the difference is really not big.

The man in sackcloth said to us again: "This kind of situation can only explain one point: the tombs are basically newly built, and the purpose of the other party's doing this is just to deceive people. If my inference is correct, there are no dead people in these tombs at all, or The dead are not what you see."

"The reason why she asked you to kill her is precisely because of this situation. She knows that you will not kill an irrelevant person casually, but when you see this grave, you will not doubt whether it is true or not. This is her real purpose."

"But there's no reason for her to do this? We met by chance, so does it make sense for her to deceive us?" Liao Xingtian asked.

"I don't understand the reason why she chose you, but these tombs are newly built, and I think the person who dug the graves couldn't have done something inexplicable, so there must be secrets in this tomb. It is recommended to dig it out to have a look, because I can be sure that these graves are not for burying dead people at all.”
