Between mountains and seas

Chapter 163 My Secret

The surrounding temperature is dropping rapidly, and the steaming mist has lightened a lot, allowing everyone to see more clearly - the outline of the candle dragon is a bit blurred, just now they thought it was the refraction of light caused by the hot air. But now it can be seen that this is not The air twists.Instead, space is distorting.

When Huo Qing landed, before he could stabilize his body, he immediately turned around and looked in another direction. The others froze for a few seconds before following him to look over, and found that the person he was looking at was Gu Rong.

Just now everyone wanted to come over to stop Zhulong, but Gu Furong was the only one who stayed where he was, and now he sat down leaning on the stone behind him.But no one blamed him, because everyone saw a ball of white light flashing on his chest, and in this ball of white light, there was a butterfly of five colors—no, if you looked carefully, you could find that the antennae of this insect were two feathers Shaped rather than filamentous, it was a moth, fluttering about in the white light.

Red, white, black, yellow, blue, a palm-sized moth, but its body is colorful, this is exactly - a five-color moth!

Zhang Sheng blurted out in surprise: "Five-color moth? Why do you have five-color moth?"

However, no one answered this question, even Zhang Sheng himself stopped asking - what is more important than banning candle dragons?

Yes, everyone can see now that Zhulong is locked in an independent space, and this space comes from the five-color halberd on Gu Rong's chest.

Zhulong struggled in the space, but a kind of drowsiness gradually surfaced.It was a very comfortable feeling. If Zhulong could speak, he would probably describe it as sweet and slightly drunk.This feeling suppressed his anger and even his desire for energy, leaving only the pleasure of sinking into a dream.

Everyone watched Candle Dragon's struggle gradually stop, the flames around him disappeared, and when it reappeared in the valley, it was already asleep.

With its huge head resting on its two front paws, Candle Dragon let out a low snoring sound and exhaled bursts of cold air from its nostrils.Yes, it was the cold air. The ice "dragon scales" around Zhulong's body condensed into a whole piece of ice armor again, turning it into a huge ice sculpture.

And with the freezing of the candle dragon, the temperature in the valley dropped sharply again, and the transpiring white mist turned into countless tiny ice flowers, which fluttered and fell from the sky, shining countless stars, which looked too beautiful to behold.

However, the people in the action team were no longer in the mood to appreciate such beauty.

The white light on Gu Rong's chest had disappeared, and the five-color moth emerged from the illusory white light, stayed on his chest for a moment, and then flapped its wings and flew up.With this flight, that beautiful figure appeared and disappeared from time to time, like nothing but reality. After flashing three times, it suddenly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Accompanied by the five-color moth, was Gu Rong's heavy breathing.He seems to have run a heavy-duty cross-country, and it seems to have a low-quality bellows in his chest. Every breath makes a grunting sound like something is broken, making everyone who listens feel as if he is suffocating.

"He, what's wrong with him?" Zhang Sheng subconsciously pressed his chest, feeling that he couldn't breathe freely.

Bai Xin rushed to Gu Rong's side without saying a word, but after pressing her green hands on Gu Rong's chest, her expression suddenly became ugly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yan felt something was wrong, "You can't cure it?"

Bai Xin bit her lip, and was about to gather the power, when Gu Rong shook his head, "It's useless." He breathed with difficulty, and looked at Huo Qing, "You...know..."

"You know?" Zhang Sheng looked at Huo Qing in bewilderment, "What's going on?" He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "This is—that secret?" The reason for the downfall of Gu Rong?This is Gu Rong's secret?

"There is a five-color stone in his body." Huo Qing didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and he looked as if he was frozen, "It should——replace the lungs." Among the five internal organs, the lungs belong to gold, so they should be A piece of white stone, it was the absorption of gold-type abilities that formed a pupa.

But Huo Qing didn't say anything after that, and after a pause, he only added: "Congenital hypoplasia of the lungs."

Bai Xin's healing ability is to stimulate the vitality of the person himself, so that the damage can be repaired and healed.But there is nothing that grows innate, no matter how she treats it, it will not grow, because people are not geckos or leeches, and there is no ability to regenerate in their genes.The ability that is not in the gene, Bai Xin can't be stimulated out of thin air, unless the person himself awakens the ability to create something out of nothing, that's another matter.

So, after the five-color moth hatched and flew away, there was nothing that could replace Gu Rong's lungs for him to breathe.His underdeveloped lungs were no longer able to handle the demands of his body when he was just a few years old, let alone now that he was an adult.So even if he fully expanded his lungs to breathe, it was still not enough.

Dead silence.Gu Rong smiled instead: "I... originally... wanted to send...you guys out. It's a pity..." Originally, he thought that if he could control the hatching speed of the five-color moths, he might have the last remaining energy to send them out of the clock. Well, the door set up by Bi Yinu, if there are five-color moths in hand, there is actually no problem of being able to enter or not.

However, there are not enough five-colored moths left.Nu Wa once left more than a dozen five-color moth eggs, but lost half of them in those ten years, and the remaining half has been used up.That's why Qi Tongmin and He Maochuanxu and Wei Snake just wanted to plot against the Taiyin fox hair in his hand.

But the Taiyin fox hair was destroyed by He Maochuan before he died, and the only one in Gu Rong's body was still in their hands.Qi Tongmin had guessed that Gu Sheng would consider this issue, and he was not wrong.

This is the secret that Bu Qi Tongjue told Gu Rong alone—the key to entering Zhong Shan is in his body,

However, I didn't expect that Zhulong would be so crazy, and the action team suffered a severe reduction in staff in the nameless land, and almost even lost—the centaur, especially Du Weiping and Tang Jia!The former is the most advantageous to fight in this valley, while the latter is almost tailor-made for Zhulong, but none of them can enter the valley!

This made the battle completely slide to a situation that was not good for them, and it also made Gu Rong no longer able to make reservations, so he could only use five-color familiarity to control Candle Dragon.However, in this way, the five-color moth completely hatched, escaped from the pupa shell, and escaped his control.

The fully feathered five-color moth is difficult for even Nuwa to control, not to mention that Gu Rong doesn't actually have the talent for spatial abilities.As a result, he could only watch it disappear and lost the key to go out.

There is no need to go into more detail about this, everyone understands it.Zhang Sheng was silent for a while, and then he said as if he was talking to himself: "Anyway, the task is completed, didn't you just say that you can't get in or out? I'm afraid of a bird..."

This is a bit rough, but no one said anything, even Ji Yan, who has always been well-dressed and wanted to wear a pair of silver glasses even in the world of mountains and seas, was the first to laugh: "That's right, the task is completed, Lao Tzu We are all heroes now. They will live forever! What are you afraid of!"

Gu Rong moved his lips, wanting to speak.He could hear that no matter Zhang Sheng or Ji Yan, or even Huo Qing who didn't speak, they were all proud and somewhat fearful.

It is normal for people to fear death.In this action team, the oldest Du Weiping is not yet 40 years old, and the rest are all young people in their twenties. Who would really not be afraid of death and love life?Just like himself, after predicting that the result of the trip to the mountains and seas would be death, didn't he hesitate for a long time before applying again?

Looking back now, my father hesitated for a while before finally agreeing to this seemingly illegal application. After all, the team had already set off at that time, and he was not on the list, which meant that he did not meet the requirements of the action team.

However, a team member who did not meet the requirements was allowed to enter the world of mountains and seas alone to catch up with the action team that had already set off—Gu Rong thought, his father should have made a prediction...

The two of them, father and son, actually had supernatural talents originally of the earth type, not in foreknowledge.The ability to predict that they have comes from the relationship between their grandfather and the final pen, and because of their grandfather's blood, they barely possess such a power of prediction.And this kind of power will be weakened as the grandfather's blood is diluted more and more, so his predictive ability is weaker than that of his father.

Since this is the case, then my father must have predicted that after joining the action team, he will die, but the success rate of the action team will increase.

At that time, he didn't understand why this happened, but after seeing Qi Tongmin, he knew everything.It's a bit funny to say, if he didn't have the five-color moth egg back then, he wouldn't have lived to be ten years old, but now, he returned the egg.

Gu Rong was breathing quickly. He wanted to say that in his prediction, these people in front of him might still be alive, but he couldn't tell.A pair of underdeveloped lungs can't supply his needs at all, and the air is cooling down, what is inhaled into the lungs is not empty but like countless ice slags, scraping his trachea with sharp edges and corners There were numerous wounds.

In fact, not only Gu Rong, but everyone felt the sudden drop in temperature.The weak Candle Dragon that has been sleeping for thousands of years is really different from the Candle Dragon that has been replenished with rubies.

The ice layer on the ground and rocks is thickening, and the water vapor in the air is condensed into ice beads and snowflakes by the low temperature, and even the breath they just exhaled has quickly turned into a solid body, which freezes on their mouths and cheeks .And in Lengchuan, those chrysalis that were just about to move just now also fell silent now, and turned into pieces of seemingly lifeless stones, and even the glimmer of light was as dim as if it had been frozen. a bit.

This is the true face of the so-called "Gate to the North Pole" - where the accumulated cold is, so it is called the cold door.And the so-called accumulated cold, how can an ordinary "cold" be able to describe it?If it weren't for all the supernatural beings here, I'm afraid they would have frozen to death by now.

However, even the supernatural beings can't stand it now.Among them, Ji Yan was the weakest. Not long after he finished his bold words, his teeth began to chatter and he couldn't stop. The skin on his fingers and cheeks turned from red to blue, and the color became darker and darker.

Bai Xin tried to give him some supernatural powers, but her supernatural powers were healing rather than heating. Even if she could temporarily heal Ji Yan's frozen skin, the continuous low temperature could freeze them again, which was basically a temporary solution. Not a permanent cure.Moreover, other people also began to show signs of being frozen, how long can she maintain her ability alone?

"No, no need..." Ji Yan shivered and pushed Bai Xin's hand away.He wanted to smile at Bai Xin, and wanted to tell her that she wouldn't need to waste her ability, and that it would probably last a little longer if she used it on him.But his facial genital muscles have lost consciousness, and he doesn't know what kind of expression he intended to make. As for saying a few more words, it is even more impossible. I can't feel my tongue, and my teeth are shaking into a ball, completely out of control.

Bai Xin looked around in a daze.Zhuang Juan wanted to grow some plants to light a fire for warmth, but it was too cold here, and he tried his best to grow a small pile of firewood, and he didn't even know if it could be lit.

If this continues...the last straw flashed in Bai Xin's mind: "Go to the ice cave!" The ice cave where the jade red grass can grow may be the last hope.

The temperature inside the ice cave was indeed warmer than outside.Of course it's still cold, but at least it's bearable for people with supernatural powers.Ji Yan's teeth that were fighting with each other could finally rest for a while, but he was immediately attracted by the ice hole: "Fu, Fu Fu array..."

When Bai Xin and Zhuang Juan found this ice cave, they only focused on looking at the jade red grass. At this time, after talking about it with Ji Yan, they found that there were countless runes carved on the walls of the ice cave, just because they were carved on the ice layer. , the runes are also transparent. At first glance, they look like lines formed by the unevenness of the ice layer. If it is not for someone like Ji Yan who studies runes intensively, he will probably ignore them even if he sees them.

Of course, even if Bai Xin and Zhuang Juan discovered the rune, they would not understand it. In other words, they would think that the rune array should be used to maintain the temperature in the ice cave and grow live jade red grass.

"No, it's not..." Ji Yan couldn't pull his eyes out, "This has nothing to do with the Jade Red Grass. These talisman formations can indeed maintain a little temperature, but they are useless in this weather... This talisman is mainly used to strengthen the ice cave and prevent it from collapsing." The temperature inside the ice cave is higher than outside because the ice cave is relatively closed, and the temperature inside has not yet dropped—the effect of this talisman on temperature is That is, let it cool down a little bit.

"It has nothing to do with the temperature?" Bai Xin subconsciously glanced at the Jade Red Grass, and suddenly found that the Jade Red Grass, which was still flourishing with branches and leaves, had wilted!The edges of the large leaves have begun to turn yellow and curl, and some of them are even crumbling, and they are about to fall off. "This! What's wrong?"

Zhuang Juan did not know when he had already squatted beside the Jade Red Grass, and was stretching out his hands to caress the stems that had begun to wither. At this moment, he said thoughtfully, "So the Jade Red Grass is a dormant plant."

Everyone knows about dormant plants. Many plants use dormancy to survive cold or drought, especially in deserts.However, no one thought that there would be dormant heterogeneous plants in the world of mountains and seas.

But in this way, everyone understands that Nu Wa has indeed calculated to the extreme for future generations.When the candle dragon needs to be awakened to repair the talisman array, the candle dragon must have been very weak. At this time, the temperature in the valley has risen, and the jade red grass has also come out of dormancy, and the leaves are blooming and bearing fruit; After repairing, you can use the fruit of Jade Red Grass to put Candle Dragon to sleep again.

Zhulong fell asleep, the temperature dropped naturally, and the stems and leaves of the Yuhong grass, which had completed its mission, were withered, and only the roots were buried in the ground. With the help of Nuwa's corpse, it was dormant again for hundreds of thousands of years for the next use.So what Nuwa has to do is to protect the ice cave intact so that the jade red grass can sleep peacefully.

"Thinking hard, counting for thousands of years, I will sacrifice my life to serve the people to save the people." Ji Yan sighed, dragged his body that was already frozen stiff, and bowed deeply to the peaceful Nuwa in the ice.It's just that Nu Wa did all the calculations, but she didn't count the dozens of five-color moth eggs left by herself. When she needed it, there was not even one left, so that people who entered Zhongshan could never get out.

Huo Qing stood aside silently.In fact, he is very tired.After dragging Zhulong for so long, he was not only physically injured, but even his abilities were overdrawn several times.Although Bai Xin healed his wounds, the overdraft ability could not be replenished. He was still standing only because he did not dare to sit on the ground—the temperature of the ice cave was also dropping. If he sat down, he might be frozen On the ground, I can no longer stand up.

Although he already knew that it was impossible to go out again, he still wanted to persevere.The blood seal of the green clam was still effective, he could feel that Shao Jingxing was still alive, so Shao Jingxing could also know that he was still alive.In the same way, if he died, the Qingfu blood seal would be invalid, and Shao Jingxing would know immediately.

In that case, he will be sad, right?

Huo Qing lowered his head to look at the bloodstains on his wrist that were still bright red.The more he persists - it will make Shao Yixing less sad - for a while, right?Although there may only be a difference of ten minutes or half an hour, but—it would be good to make him feel less sad for a while, Shao Jingxing should be heartless, he should hide cowardly, and shouldn't face such a situation pain...

In fact, at this time, Huo Qing really wanted to see Shao Jingxing again, but he suddenly realized that there were many things he hadn't said to Shao Jingxing.After all, Shao Jingxing always talked more on weekdays, but most of the time he just listened quietly.

At that time, I always felt that there was still a lot of time, and no matter what I said, I could wait until later and speak slowly.But the changes in the world never wait for anyone, in the blink of an eye, he will never have the chance to say anything to Shao Jingxing again...

But fortunately, Zhong Shan's door was closed at that time, and Shao Jingxing couldn't come in.Huo Qing would rather leave endless regrets than engage in any "life and death inseparable" at this time.Don't say that the one who is alive will bear more pain, he only wants Shao Jingxing to live, and living has infinite possibilities.

Maybe Shao Jingxing will forget him, maybe he will find someone who suits him again, someone who loves him more...

No, Huo Qing felt that there would be no one who loved Shao Jingxing more than himself, but maybe for Shao Jingxing, as long as he could replace him, it would be fine.

Huo Qing didn't know what he was thinking, until Ji Yan's exclamation interrupted him: "Here, here is a teleportation talisman!"
