Chapter 1081: Seeking the Source in the Valley (1)
The interruption of thinking made Xu Changqing feel quite unhappy. He looked at Vera coldly, frowned, and had no intention of answering his inquiry. Instead, he stretched the gem in his hand towards those people, with a slight teasing intention, and said, "I'll give you your things?"
"Don't get close to me, don't get close to me!"
"Take it away, take it away!"
Now these people dare not become greedy for this thing anymore. They all avoided it. If there was not a more terrifying existence outside the house, they might have all escaped from the house.
On the contrary, Vera was able to face Xu Changqing's teasing relatively calmly. Although she also looked fearful on her face, she did not avoid it in such a slight tact. Instead, she carefully observed the gem with interest.
"Can you tell me what this is?" Even though Vera was filled with fear, she still had a strong curiosity about such mysterious things.
In fact, Xu Changqing did not know that Vera was leading the hunting trip and chose the Tungus area for the Tungus explosion. From some records of her family, she knew that after the Tungus explosion, some mysterious things often happened in the primeval forests in the Central and Siberian Plateau, and her grandfather even obtained a treasure here that allowed the Oliver family to safely survive World War I and World War II. However, the diary did not record what this treasure was, but only used a large number of words praising the gods to praise the treasure. The clever one could infer from the way these praise words that it should be something like gems.
Before she decided to come to Tungus, Vera had never thought of finding the treasures she had found. She just wanted to satisfy her strong curiosity and explore the way, familiarizing herself with the environment first so that she could bring her people here next time. However, what she unexpected was what happened yesterday that made her see the legendary mysterious things, such as the mysterious whispers that night, etc. She liked occultism very much. Therefore, she had read some books on occultism, including many novels describing the indescribable mysterious horrors in American Rocklid literature, so when she heard the mysterious whispers that were not within the category of sound, she associated it with it.
Therefore, when she saw the extremely supernatural fire fox this morning, Vera was actually not as obsessed as others, and still maintained a certain degree of awakening. However, she did not stop her companion from her behavior because she felt something strange about things. Instead, she was curious and caused the fire. This led to the incident of chasing the beast cemetery. Even at the entrance of the valley, she was the first gem to see. She was just careful and thought that such a top gem appeared in an environment full of bones, so she did not dig it. Instead, because of her intentional or unintentional actions, the companion also discovered the gem, digging it out first, and finally became the current situation.
Vera, who was born in a big family, has had special training in identifying people since she was a child. Before, due to fear, excitement and other emotions, she was unable to calm down and see the surrounding situation. Now that the situation has stabilized, she naturally has regained her ability to think. It is not difficult to see Xu Changqing's uniqueness with her eyes. It is also obvious that Xu Changqing must have a certain understanding of the monsters outside and this devil's gem, and is not even afraid of these terrifying things at all. In other words, Xu Changqing is the one who dominates everything in this hut, and it is also the key to whether they can leave alive.
When he heard Vera's inquiry, Xu Changqing looked at the other party and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and signaled Yakov to clean up the mummy on the ground. When he heard the order, Yakov stepped forward and grabbed the corpse on the ground with one hand. He opened the door like throwing garbage and threw the corpse out.
Just as Yakov closed the door, Vera and others vaguely heard some strange noises coming from outside. These strange noises included the sound of insects crawling and the sound of beasts swallowing their prey. In short, any sound can make them have endless imagination.
Xu Changqing moved the chair back to the stove, then put the gem in his hand in his pocket without hesitation, and said, "Since you don't want this gem, it's my turn. But I won't take your things in vain. You'll go to bed here tonight. I can guarantee that you won't have anything to do. In addition, if you can walk to the nearest town tomorrow during the day, you will be safe."
As he spoke, he saw him walking to the two young men whose dark spots were almost covering their bodies. He pointed his skills to the foreheads of both of them. Then everyone saw a faint golden light emitted from where their fingers were pointed, and it expanded outward. The dark spots all dissipated when they came into contact with the light, and soon the two young men's bodies returned to their original state.
This scene shocked everyone. Even though they had seen the terrifying monster outside, they had never thought of seeing such a sacred scene. They might not know what the faint golden light was, but this did not prevent them from having association. Even though they did not feel the light personally, the inexplicable sacred feeling that arises when the light appeared, and the speculation that the light was associated with the Bible story when it was dispelled by the dark spots, made materialist believers instantly turn into devout religious believers, and they couldn't help kneeling on the ground as if they were reciting their most familiar prayers, completely treating Xu Changqing as the Western agent who exists in the world.
When everyone was shocked by this miracle scene and changed their faith, Vera, who had already prepared herself, looked at Xu Changqing with excitement because she found the goal of her trip and couldn't help asking: "What's the light just now? Is it the Holy Light of the Lord? You..."
Xu Changqing raised his hand to interrupt Vera's repeated inquiries, pointed to the two young men on the ground who still had a faint light on their bodies, and said, "They are fine, but they will be weak for a while, as if they had a serious illness." After briefly explaining the situation of the two, he quarreled Vera and the others to look at it, and said, "I want to go to the beast cemetery you have visited tomorrow to see. Who among you would like to be a guide?"
As soon as Xu Changqing said this, the room immediately became quiet. Although Xu Changqing had just shown his miraculous ability, they could vaguely feel that the monsters wandering outside could not pose a threat to Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing's behavior of watching the companion turn into a mummy just now made them feel a little worried, worried that if something happened, Xu Changqing would not take action to treat them.
Just as everyone was hesitating, Vera suddenly raised her hand and said, "I, I can be your guide."
"Then it's up to you!" Xu Changqing didn't care about Vera's positive attitude. He nodded calmly, then sat next to the stove, looking through the books he hadn't finished reading, as if he was not going to pay attention to other things.
Vera was naturally very happy to see Xu Changqing nodding in agreement. Although her reason told her that it would be dangerous to walk with Xu Changqing and others, her instinct drove him to approach Xu Changqing and others, and her strong curiosity about mysterious things and her unwilling adventure personality made her throw her reason behind her and make decisions completely according to her instinct.
As for the others, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Vera stand up, as if they had escaped a disaster, and the so-called companionship and friendship seemed less important in the face of a life-and-death crisis. Although they were also curious about Xu Changqing, Yakov and others, and even about the various things they had encountered before, this curiosity and the just-begrown belief and the possible great life and death and great horror were not worth mentioning. However, while they were glad that they had escaped a disaster, they also vaguely felt that they seemed to have lost something very important.
After that, there was nothing wrong all night. Vera and others were already exhausted due to the daytime events, and encountered various incredible things, which also had a great impact on their spirits. So after they settled down, they could not resist their physical and mental instincts, and fell asleep one by one without any concern about any accidents.
Yakov was actually very curious about what the gem that Xu Changqing had put in his bag, but he did not take the initiative to ask. In his opinion, if Xu Changqing needed to know, he would tell him if he didn't need him to ask, and he would not need to know. Even if he asked, it would be useless. So with a strong curiosity, he completed the training lessons that Xu Changqing had prepared for him, and also found a blanket to spread it on the ground, and fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Outside the Hunter's hut, the monster formed by the natural resentment did not leave, but kept spinning around the house. It was not that it did not try to get close, but there was always an invisible force around the hut that repelled it, and sometimes even swallowed the resentment of the beasts on it. If this monster had intelligence, it would definitely see the comparison of the strength of the two and would not continue to stay around the hut. But the problem is that this natural resentment only has instinct, and its instinct is to regain its treasures, so this confrontation situation of continuous impact, devouring and repelling continued until the moment when the first ray of sunlight appeared on the mountaintop in the distance in the morning.
Although this natural resentment is powerful, it is not as powerful as it can resist the yang energy of heaven and earth. At the moment the sunlight appears, it quickly faded back at an unparalleled speed. As it faded, the cold mist that enveloped the surrounding forest for a night also dissipated. The forest seemed to have returned to its original state, but careful people could find that there was no sound of wild animals or birds moving in this forest, and even the chirping of insects disappeared, as if all the living creatures in this forest were dead.
