Chapter 673 Devil Stone
readx;
"That bastard Tereg." The old ghost gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat Tereg's flesh and drink his blood.
"Let's go, let's chase. Even if I die here, I will let that bastard Tyreg die first." Lao Meng got up and walked down the narrow path on the mountain wall.
Li Mu grabbed Lao Meng: "It's not possible to go on like this. We don't have enough incense ash. If we don't have half of the road, the incense ash will be gone."
"What should I do?" Lao Meng was a little stunned.
"What else can I do? Of course I just slide down with a rope." Lao Gui pointed to the edge of the mountain road not far away, and saw that there was a thin wire rope fixed on a stone pillar. Because the rope was too thin and the light here was not good, Lao Meng did not see it.
Li Mu just said that Tyreg and the others should have gone down because they saw this silk rope.
Lao Meng walked closer and looked at it, and said strangely: "This rope is not the rope we prepared when we came."
"Of course not. This should be left by people who came here before. This rope is extraordinary. It is not a synthetic rope we are used to use. It seems to be made of thin filaments of some kind of plant." said the old ghost.
"A normal rope may not be able to withstand the invasion of the blood-colored smiley face, and it has been bitten off long ago." Li Mu added some incense ash to his two bodies: "Old ghost, you are flexible and quick to react. You should take the lead this time."
The old ghost nodded and pulled the rope hard on the side. He felt that the rope was tough enough, so he grabbed the rope and climbed down.
Lao Meng was in the middle, Li Mu was at the top, the three of them had incense ash on their bodies, and there were no blue flame insects here, so they did not attract the blood-colored smiley faces. The three of them climbed down smoothly, climbing down the rope.
"Look at it." Lao Meng suddenly screamed, Li Mu and Lao Gui looked along Lao Meng's fingers, and saw that some mature doll fruits fell down on the canopy not far from them, and fell to the bottom with red light. A red comet gradually disappeared from the roots of the dark ancient tree.
"Those smiling faces are formed after the fruits ripen and fall down?" the old ghost said uncertainly.
"It should be that way." Li Mu said, but he didn't know what these things were useful. The things in the imperial clan were all mysterious. The altar on the Holy Nether Star was also a blood sacrifice of the Holy Nether Clan to awaken the sleeping true dragon magic weapon. I don't know what this strange ancient tree here is.
Li Mu suddenly remembered that Lao Gui said that he encountered the mountains of Dachuan and Tibetan Abyss in another place, and finally blasted it out with a cannon, as if a sea of blood and a dragon soared out.
"Is this also a place where the dragon magic weapons sleep? But here is an ancient tree, and there is no blood pool or blood pool. The dragon magic weapons can't sleep under this ancient tree, right?" Li Mu thought about it and felt something was wrong. Lao Gui and the others did not enter the interior of the mountain. It is unknown whether there are such ancient trees in the mountain, and it may be different.
The three of them kept climbing down. The ancient tree was much taller than they thought. It was already more than a thousand meters down. There was still no root of the tree.
"This tree is so big, just this tree, it's enough to build a palace." Lao Meng exclaimed.
"If you can think of it, you are afraid that you will have the life to live. At night, the whole family will be covered with smiles." The old ghost snorted coldly.
Lao Meng originally wanted to fight with Lao Gui for a few words, but when he thought about the scene that Lao Gui said, he couldn't help but shiver and muttered in a low voice: "I just say it casually, you don't have to be so scary."
"Wait a minute." The old ghost suddenly stopped. Lao Meng didn't have time to brake the car for a while, and sat directly on the old ghost's head, and was thrust hard by the old ghost.
"I didn't sit on your head on purpose. Why are you doing so hard?" Lao Meng shouted, rubbing his big butt with one hand.
"Old ghost. What's wrong?" Li Mu asked above.
"It seems that something is below." The old ghost said in a uncertain voice.
"Is there something? It's not that bastard Tyreg and Leyan, right?" Lao Meng said quickly.
"No, it's a big thing." The old ghost said again.
"You have explained clearly what kind of thing it is." Lao Meng said anxiously.
"How is it like, it's like, half a big plate is embedded on the mountain wall." The old ghost thought for a long time before he came up with such a description.
"Is it dead or alive?" Li Mu hooked his feet with his rope and tried to lean out as much as possible, but Lao Meng's huge body blocked him, so he couldn't see clearly what was underneath.
"There is no movement, I don't know whether it's death or life, and I can't smell anything." The old ghost said after twitching his nose a few times.
"Be careful, go down and take a look." Li Mu thought for a while and said.
The old ghost responded and climbed down first. Li Mu and Lao Meng were apart for a while, so as not to see if there was something going on below later, and the old ghost would not even have the way to escape.
The old ghost gradually approached the object. Li Mu walked down a while and saw a hazy semicircular thing. He couldn't see what it was. As the old ghost said, it was a bit like a plate embedded in the mountain wall.
The old ghost gradually approached the thing, and soon the old ghost landed on the thing. After a while, the old ghost signaled them to come down, and it was safe below.
"Good, what's this thing? Why doesn't it look like a stone?" Lao Meng fell on the thing and kicked the thing under his feet. It felt a little bit, but it felt different from the stone on the mountain wall next to him.
Li Mu also landed on it. The entire semicircular thing was about ten meters long and dark gray. It looked a bit like the mountain wall next to it, but it didn't look like it was tilted marks on it, which seemed to be plowed through the ground.
The silk thread happened to pass by the next thing. After looking at it for a while, the three of them didn't see what it was. Just as Li Mu was about to climb the rope and continue walking down, the old ghost suddenly grabbed him and whispered: "Wait a minute, you can't go down."
"What's wrong?" Li Mu looked at the old ghost in confusion. There was still a long distance below to reach the bottom. Why did the old ghost suddenly say that he couldn't go down?
"This thing is a living thing." Lao Ghost's face turned a little ugly, and he pointed at his feet.
"Living things?" Li Mu and Lao Meng were both shocked.
"This thing is a living thing. What do you think it is?" Lao Meng asked.
The old ghost continued: "I have been to a planet that is almost entirely oceanic. There are many huge marine creatures on that planet, including a marine creature that can prey on fish more than ten meters long. The local natives called the Devil Stone, which is a kind of shellfish."
"You said this thing is shellfish?" Lao Meng widened his eyes and looked at the old ghost in disbelief.
"Yes, it's just a huge sea shell. The devil stone shell sinks to the bottom of the sea. The color of the shell will change with the surrounding environment. When a fish passes by it, it will open the shell like lightning. The tough soft tissue inside will entangle the big fish and pull the big fish directly into the shell. Any big fish pulled in will melt into liquid at most ten minutes. The same volume of devil stone shell can prey on the same volume of big fish and sea beasts. It is a very terrifying creature in the sea. There are almost no natural enemies on that planet, and it is a creature standing at the top of the food chain." The old ghost said slowly.
"You are joking. Can it be digested by a big fish of the same size in more than ten minutes?" Lao Meng said in disbelief.
"Of course, it is impossible to digest. They are a creature with strong survivability. When they have food, they will directly prey. The excess will be converted into a naturally concentrated nutrient liquid and stored in the shell. Then, even if they cannot catch food for several years or decades, they will not starve to death." said the old ghost.
"Look clearly, this is on the mountain wall, where is the sea from? How could there be the devil stone shell you mentioned here? And I don't know how many years have existed here. Even if this thing is a devil stone shell, it has already starved to death. How could it be alive?" As he said that, Lao Meng was about to put on the silk rope and continue climbing down.
Lao Meng had just climbed down a few steps. The stone at Li Mu and Lao Gui's feet suddenly moved, and a crack was silently cracked. A snake-like thing stretched out from the inside and rolled directly to Lao Meng on the rope. Although Lao Meng said it was okay, he still kept paying attention to the things next to him. Seeing that there was actually a crack, something like a giant snake was rolled out from the inside, and he pulled out a long knife and slashed it.
Lao Meng's level eight strength and the sharp long sword slashed on the giant snake-like thing, and it was like a wooden knife slashing on the tires of a large truck. It sank a little and immediately bounced out.
"It's over." Old Meng's face turned pale when he saw that the strange thing had been rolled on him. Now it was too late to escape.
A claw flew out of the old ghost's hand, hooked the fur on Lao Meng's waist, pulled the silk rope behind it, and pulled Lao Meng up from below.
But after just halfway, the thing was rolled over again. The speed was too fast. Lao Meng had been pulled into the air again, and there was no room for dodging. Lao Gui's face changed drastically, but his speed was no longer as fast as the strange thing.
"My life is over." Lao Meng shouted, and he was about to draw a knife and fight the monster, but the knife slashed on the monster, just like before, and it was less than half a minute of the injury.
This time, the strange thing directly wrapped around his body and pulled it down fiercely. The old ghost couldn't bear the strength and ran forward when he was pulled, and was about to fall down. The old ghost's hand holding the silk rope was directly trapped into the star armor by the silk rope, and blood immediately seeped out of the cracks of the star armor.
"Old ghost, let it go." Lao Meng, who had been pulled in front of the shell crack, shouted at the old ghost.
"I'll let your mother go." The old ghost kicked the mountain wall next to him with both legs, grabbed the silk rope with one hand, pulled out a sharp blade with the other hand, and stabbed it hard into the mountain wall. (To be continued.)
