Between mountains and seas

Chapter 143 Invention

One of those "young people" that Qi Tongmin talked about, that is, Comrade Shao Jingxing, was burning his head against the quicksand at the moment.

"This won't work..." Tang Jia had a rope tied around her waist, and she was just pulled back from the quicksand by Wang Chenggang, her face turned pale with fright, "It doesn't work, it's still sinking!"

Shao Jingxing squatted beside him, scratching his head desperately.

The last time he came to Guanti Mountain, he fell into the quicksand. If he hadn't caught a Nafu, he might have been buried alive.I remember at that time he thought about whether he could crawl out of the quicksand if he cut off branches and spread them on the quicksand, and then lay down to maximize the contact area between his body and the ground.

That time his experiment was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Fu Dou and the monkey, but now it seems that it is useless not to interrupt, because Tang Jia has already tried it just now, and with her weight, she is still attached to the cushion under her body. The branches of the tree sank together, and if it wasn't for being pulled back with a rope tied around his waist, he would probably have sunk as well.And she only climbed seven or eight meters.

"Perhaps a place farther away will be better..." Shao Jingxing pointed to the short shrubs about 20 meters ahead, "Look at that place, can you go there and try it?"

Tang Jia hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, what are you kidding!" The rope tied around her waist was only about 15 meters away. If she wanted to go to a place of more than 20 meters, she would have to untie the rope. How could that be possible!

"It won't necessarily sink. Your posture just now is not standard. If you lay flatter, you won't sink so fast—" Tang Jia had no training, and she wanted to keep a little demeanor when she was asked to crawl on the ground. Pay attention to the beauty of the posture or something, there is no maximum contact with the ground at all.

Before Shao Jingxing finished speaking, Tang Jia interrupted: "You speak lightly! Otherwise, you can try it!" Every time she took a step, she felt that she was sinking a little bit. This is quicksand, and if you sink into it, you will die!

"You are the lightest person to ask you to go!" Shao Jingxing was so angry that he died, "Besides, if you sink, I can still find a way to rescue you. If I sink, can you rescue me?"

Tang Jia remained silent, but sat on the ground motionless, obviously unwilling to go into the quicksand again.

"Forget it then." Shao Jingxing also became annoyed, "Since everyone can't go out like this, let's just wait here. If those breeding snakes find a way to chase after them, everyone will die."

Tang Jia choked for a while, then muttered softly, "Didn't you say that Huo Qing would come to rescue us? Why hasn't he come yet!"

"The world of mountains and seas is such a big place, how do you ask Huo Qing to find it?" Shao Jingxing also wanted Huo Qing to come, but now there was no movement of the blood on his wrist, and he was still annoyed. Tang Jia really couldn't open any pot. Which pot, "If it weren't for the shitty things you did, how would you end up in this place now! Huo Qing is coming to look for us now, and he doesn't know what danger he's going to encounter!"

Tang Jia was so scolded that he dared not speak out, but she lowered her head and pretended to be dead, and refused to try again.

Shao Jingxing couldn't really throw her into the quicksand, and it was even more impossible to just sit there and think of a way, so he could only get up cursing, wandering around on the edge of the quicksand, trying to figure out what to do.

The area of ​​this quicksand field is really too large. At a glance, everything that can be seen is yellow-gray, and only some low shrubs grow sporadically in it.When he fell for the first time, he was actually on the edge of the quicksand. If he really fell in the middle, maybe even the father would not dare to run over to catch him, and he would be dead.

Such a long distance, I'm afraid I can only fly over it... Shao Jingxing thought anxiously - if only he could fly.

Eh wait?Shao Jingxing suddenly thought of Iron Man. Although he didn't have iron armor, if he wanted to fly... In theory, he could fly with a propeller, right?And the thruster, isn't it just to spray out a puff of air, he can also spray it!

Tang Jia only heard an explosion from behind, followed by another plop. He thought that some monster had appeared again, and hurriedly turned around to see Shao Jingxing getting up from the ground in disgrace, leaving a long trail behind him, as if he had just It's like wiping the ground with your face for a while...

"What's the matter?" Wang Chenggang was also taken aback.His position was facing Shao Jingxing, and out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see Shao Jingxing lying on the ground and rushing forward for several meters before stopping, like a rampaging sweeper.And along that long scratch, there was a small patch of ground where the grass was all scorched, as if someone had just set fire to it.

"It's nothing." Shao Jingxing got up from the ground calmly, and brushed the grass clippings and sand off his clothes nonchalantly, "I'll try a new way to use the ability." Emma still had a little pain from rubbing her knees and elbows, but fortunately he When I lost my balance and fell down just now, I protected my face. Otherwise, if my face hit the ground first and slid so far, my nose would be flattened, right?

Wang Chenggang looked him over carefully, and was very sincerely concerned: "Your feet..."

Shao Jingxing coughed heavily: "It's okay, it's okay." Of course it's not okay, he just controlled the fireball to burn under his feet, but when his body lost his balance, the fireball also exploded, and now a pair of shoes burned to the point where his toes were exposed , now they are lined up like piano keys.The trouser legs were also scorched, revealing half of the calf, which was a bit of a sharp brother's demeanor.

However, his exposed skin was intact, not to mention burnt, not even a trace of redness.So Wang Cheng just took a look and believed that he was fine: "Then what is your new way of using it?" Isn't it time to study how to get out of here?

Shao Jingxing was embarrassed to say that he wanted to fly but fell down, so he could only bite the bullet and make nonsense: "I was wondering if I could open the space channel again and go to another place."

"Can you?" Tang Jia's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"It's difficult." Shao Jingxing replied with a straight face.Opening the space is indeed a way, but he doubts whether he has the ability.And even if the space is opened, it's hard to say where to go, if it falls directly into the sea... then it's better to stay in this quicksand.

"Then what should I do—" Tang Jia was so disappointed that she almost wanted to cry.

"I'm not trying to do this—" Before Shao Jingxing finished speaking, he suddenly found that his shadow was covered by a shadow that floated quickly, his heart tightened suddenly, and he rushed forward.Hearing a snort, his coat was torn into two pieces from the back. Shao Jingxing could even feel something sharp and hard scratching down his spine. The bones will be pulled out!

Hearing Tang Jia screaming loudly, Shao Jingxing rolled on the ground, and when he turned around, he saw a big gaudy bird behind him.

At first glance, the bird looks like a smaller ostrich, with a long neck, long legs and big wings, but it is obvious that it can fly, and it flies almost as silently as an owl, which does not match its huge body. .If the shadow cast hadn't exposed it, Shao Jingxing wouldn't have noticed it at all.

It seemed that the bird was also a little surprised that he had missed it, and instead of chasing after it landed, it raised a paw, as if to see why it didn't catch it.

Shao Jingxing couldn't help gasping when he saw this thick leg - it was as if an eagle claw had been attached to the ostrich's leg, it was simply against nature!

"What is this!" Tang Jia stepped back, and then there was quicksand behind him, and there was nowhere to go.

"This—" Shao Jingxing thought for a while, and his expression immediately changed, "This is an invention!"

Tang Jia looked blank: "What?" What kind of jokes are you talking about at this time!invention?Who invented and what?Was this completely illogical bird invented?

"It's the name of this bird, and it's called Invention!" Shao Jingxing took a step back and died of agony, "Stay far away, stay away from it! It's going to kill you if you get close!"

Invention, belonging to one of the "five phoenixes", see "Le Wei Ye Tu Zheng".The book says: All the five phoenixes have five colors, one is for auspiciousness, and four is for evil.He also said: There are four like phoenixes, and they are demons... The second is invention, black beak, big neck, big wings and big heels... It feels like a sense of mourning.

Only Youchang has real photos of the five phoenixes on the app, and they look like cranes with unbalanced proportions, but the colors are extra bright.The rest of them have not been witnessed by anyone, so there are only pictures handed down from ancient books.

But now Shao Jingxing understands that it's really not that the ancients have a problem with their painting skills, but that these things look like birds!

But the important thing is not the appearance, but the ability of this thing.

The evils of the four phoenixes recorded in "Le Wei Ye Tu Zheng" are respectively: when it reaches the peak, you will feel slavery; if it reaches the peak, you will feel mourning;

At first glance, it seems to be nothing special, because there is no clear description of what disaster it can cause, but just an induction, but in fact, this kind of inexplicable thing is the most terrifying.

Sensation, that is, induction, and the scope of induction is very large, for example-calling.

Youchang wrote very clearly in the APP records: The place where it appeared, the corpse was turned into a drought.

Few people don't know what Hanba is, which shows how terrifying this thing is.However, where You Chang appears, not only can he cause drought, but he can also turn ordinary corpses into drought demons to wreak havoc together, this ability is even more terrifying.

With the example of Youchang, the abilities of the other phoenixes can be imagined.Anyway, now that Shao Jingxing was standing in front of this invention, he already had a creepy feeling.

This is the intuition honed by human beings during the long period of time before reaching the top of the food chain. Just like wild animals can perceive danger, Shao Jingxing is sure that what he is facing is a very terrifying thing, just like facing a god of death .

As for the feeling of mourning, Shao Jingxing now understands that this thing can definitely gather all things related to death!And there are too many things that can kill a person.

Fortunately, this is the mountain of Guanti. Because of the large area of ​​quicksand, there are not many living creatures here, only Nafu and Songsi, and these two kinds of strange beasts are relatively low-level.But even so, Shao Jingxing saw Youlongsi sticking his head out from behind a tree not far away, his originally brown eyes turned slightly red strangely, as if he wanted to come up and attack.

Long Si is not a cannibal, and even the father just dragged the dead prey out of the quicksand to eat, and they were all relatively "harmless" animals.But now it seems that under the influence of invention, these things are also more aggressive.

This is not allowed!After a while, a group of crazy Lusi fathers rushed up, and it would be even more difficult to deal with.

Before Shao Jingxing could finish his thoughts, he realized that he had uttered a cry like a crow, and his two wide wings flapped suddenly. , the long black beak had silently reached Shao Jingxing's chest.

With a bang, a ball of fire exploded, and Shao Jingxing rolled three times on the spot. He could only hear the annoyed screams and the rubbing sound of his claws stepping on his side, which was really creepy.

Can't beat it!what to do?

Shao Jingxing scrambled and crawled to hide, while trying to use his brain - this game is too flexible, if he hadn't set a fireball in front of him when he closed his eyes just now, he might have been attacked by a black tiger - Blackbird was heartbroken.But even so, the exploding fireball was still found to dodge, only scorching a handful of its hair, and did not cause any major damage at all.

If Huo Qing came instead,

The scream coming from next to his ear gave Shao Jingxing a flash of inspiration. Regardless of the sand in his mouth, he jumped up and shouted: "Tang Jia, sing, sing!"

"What?" Tang Jia squinted and screamed.The sand was so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes, she could barely see that the bird was chasing and pecking at Shao Jingxing, and he was rolling around on the ground without any power to fight back.She was already so frightened that she wanted to run away immediately, and now Shao Jingxing asked her to sing?are you crazy!

"Lullaby! Lullaby! Serenade! Whatever you want, let it sleep!" Shao Jingxing dodged another blow in embarrassment, spat out the sand in his mouth and shouted, "Where's your ability? Use it!"

"Yes, yes, I have supernatural powers—" Tang Jia muttered to herself, but her mind went blank, "Lullaby, how do you sing a lullaby?"

"Yue, the moon is bright, the wind is clear?" Wang Chenggang hid aside and sang an out-of-tune song as a reminder.

"It's not that!" Tang Jia almost wanted to pull his hair, "It's that piece by Brahms..."

"Anything!" Shao Jingxing rolled and crawled, "Anything is fine, just sing!"

Invention didn't succeed a few times in a row, so he let out an angry cry, flapped his wings and flew up.A shadow suddenly enveloped Shao Jingxing, and the pressure of the wind made him almost unable to move.Fortunately, at this time Tang Jia's singing finally rang out: "Sleep peacefully, baby..."

Tang Jia's voice was still a little trembling, but Miaoyinniao's voice was still extraordinary when she opened her voice. When she found out, her dive slowed down, and Shao Jingxing rushed forward to avoid it.

"...May God protect you and sleep until dawn, may God protect you and sleep until dawn..." Tang Jia couldn't remember the second verse of the lyrics, so she had to repeat this line over and over again, "... sleep till dawn..."

But the monotonous lyrics had a very good effect. Invention fell to the ground and began to pace hesitantly, as if he was hesitating between sleeping and attacking Shao Jingxing.

"Great, don't stop!" Shao Jingxing glanced around, and there were two scorpions that were too close to each other and fell asleep in the weeds. Although the ones in the distance were not asleep, they discovered the impact on them. It has also been weakened, and it is wandering, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

How to kill this thing?Shao Jingxing turned his head and stared at the invention—only now that he was able to observe carefully, he realized that the bright feathers on this thing were as thick and hard as scales, no wonder the fireball didn't do enough damage.If you put a compressed fireball in its mouth, what would be the effect?

He was thinking, when suddenly the scene in front of him shook again, only to hear Wang Chenggang yell: "Over there! There are buildings over there! It seems to be - it's a city!" His voice trembled, revealing an unbelievable disbelief ecstasy.

Shao Jingxing looked back subconsciously, and there was a hazy double image on the quicksand ground, as if there was a cement road overlapping on it.Looking along this cement road, there are indeed rows of buildings in the distance, and you can still see the green space between the buildings, as well as the people walking through the green space...

"Can we go back!" Wang Chenggang couldn't see another invention there, but just stared straight at the concrete road.The overlapping scenery made people's eyes dizzy, but they could still see that the cement road was gradually becoming clear, while the quicksand ground was gradually disappearing. In a few minutes, the cement road would reach their feet!

"Tang Jia!" Shao Jingxing was pleasantly surprised when he saw the sudden appearance, but then he realized that due to Tang Jia's distraction, he had opened his eyes again.And this time it wasn't looking at Shao Jingxing, but those buildings - the two worlds overlapped again in a small area, and Invention was obviously very interested in this fresh world.

"What, what?" Tang Jia couldn't get her attention back at all, "We can go out now!" If the quicksand field of more than ten meters hadn't disappeared, she would run wildly now.Finally, finally able to go out!

"Keep singing!" Shao Jingxing yelled, "Invention is about to wake up!" Cannot let Invention fly out, there is obviously a residential area in front of it, if this thing flies over, the consequences may be worse than rats and beasts jumping into the village!

"I, I—" Tang Jia's eyes were glued to the concrete road extending over, and he managed to sing a few more words, but couldn't help it, "The road is coming, let's go!" I told her that this kind of overlap will not last long, and if the overlap ends, she will still be left in the world of mountains and seas.

"No!" Shao Jingxing flatly refused, "I can't leave now, let's get rid of this bird first!"

"What's going on!" Tang Jia felt that she was going crazy, "It doesn't sleep!" Although she sang a lullaby, Ficing still didn't fall asleep, and was still walking around: "Hit it! Hit it!" die!"

"I'm trying to find a way!" Shao Jingxing didn't expect Invention to be so resistant. He tried to approach him a few times, but instead he seemed to have alerted Invention and lost sleepiness. "Sing with your heart!" Now it's intermittent, Invention may gradually wake up, which will be even more difficult.

However, at this time the concrete road had stretched to the limit, only seven or eight meters away from them.This distance can be crossed by jumping hard and walking a few steps on the quicksand. Wang Chenggang even jumped over it first!

After the run-up, the man jumped more than four meters. Although the impact of his feet was too great, he sank almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, but after all, the cement road was in front of him. He struggled to take a few steps forward. When he sank to his knees, he finally touched the hard road surface, and pulled himself out of the quicksand by grabbing the stone masonry on the side of the road.

"Sing seriously! Let it yawn!" Shao Jingxing hadn't realized that Wang Chenggang had gone out yet. He had put all his attention on Invention, and a compressed fireball had already condensed in his hand—it seemed that it was better to stuff the fireball Jin invented the most lethal force in his mouth.

However, at this moment, the scenery shook again, and the cement road gradually blurred—this time the overlap lasted less than 10 minutes and was about to end!

Tang Jia saw that Mingfa was still trying to open his eyes, and then looked at the cement road that was beginning to blur, and suddenly turned around, and threw his whole body into the quicksand, crawling forward desperately: "Mr. Wang, pull me!" She doesn't want to be left in the world of mountains and seas, Wang Chenggang has gone out, why can't she go out!

"Don't go!" Shao Jingxing shouted in vain.

But Tang Jia had already crawled out without looking back, and as soon as her singing stopped, Fen found out immediately.But it didn't attack Shao Jingxing, but looked towards the unfamiliar scene ahead.Seeming to see more people, it squawked excitedly, flapped its wings and flew towards the rows of buildings.

"Tang Jia!" Shao Jingxing roared.However, the cement pavement quickly faded from the end that touched the quicksand, and the quicksand recovered, while the cement road shortened rapidly.So after Tang Jia was dragged onto the concrete road by Wang Chenggang, the two of them had to retreat quickly, ignoring Shao Jingxing at all.

But the quicksand can't hinder the invention. Its huge wings flew into the air with one flap. Although its body looks too heavy, its speed is very fast. It seems that it can pass through the expanding world in just a few seconds. The Quicksand region, before the overlay ends and enters the real world.

However, it was only halfway through the flight, when there was a bang behind it, and then a person rushed into the air like a cannonball, hit its belly with its head, then hugged its thighs, and hung on its body.
