Chapter 203: Lead the snake out of the hole

Zi Yang fell to the ground and stared blankly at the stone slab in front of him.

"Old Wang is gone?" He could not accept such a fact no matter what.

Almost within one day, Xiao Hei and Lao Wang died one after another.

Just now, Lao Wang was still chatting and laughing with everyone.

Just yesterday, Xiao Hei was still silently guarding him.

Seeing Zi Yang's despair, everyone didn't know how to comfort him. Su Rui held Zi Yang's hand and said softly: "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry? She doesn't know either.

At the beginning, if Su Rui had not taken the initiative to contact Zi Yang in school, if he had not taken them to the Gobi desert to adventure, if he had not invited them to join the Tibet plan... maybe none of this would have happened.

But if it is just if, there are no assumptions in life.

Zi Yang was silent for a while and asked softly: "Old Wang, what will he be like?"

Su Rui looked at him, "The juice of purple-leaf gentian is highly toxic. After it comes into contact with blood and even skin, it will react with the human body, thereby transforming the functions of the human body and mutating it..."

Su Rui stopped here, and even if she didn't say it, everyone knew what the outcome of Lao Wang would be.

If Lao Wang had not been "devoured" by the Purple Leaf Gentian, there is no doubt that he would become a zombie, like the giant corpse they encountered on the wasteland, like the Ermao they just saw, becoming a soulless walking corpse.

Everyone fell into silence.

Su Rui said with lingering fear: "I didn't expect that the venom of the purple-leaf gentian was so strange. It can not only take human life in an instant, but also 'erode' the victim's body, making people mutate into a creature that transcends death. Now it seems that the biological weapon Hitler was looking for back then should be the purple-leaf gentian."

Zi Yang suddenly sneered: "There is no immortal spring in this world. The so-called immortality myth is just a mutation after poisoning!"

Jin Guoqiang nodded: "If the 'Undead Legion' that Hitler wanted to build back then refers to this, then we must be glad that he did not succeed in the end, otherwise, the entire human race would fall into disaster."

Everyone fell into silence again. Jin Guoqiang said right. With the powerful vitality and unsolvable venom infection like Purple Leaf Gentian, if it is given growth conditions and space, the chain reaction it produces is enough to change the biological chain on the earth.

Zi Yang suddenly stood up and walked around the cave with the night pearl in his hand, as if looking for something.

Su Rui looked at him in surprise: "You, what are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? I want to save the earth! Haven't you heard Jin Guoqiang say that this thing can change the world, I want to destroy it!" Zi Yang laughed while talking, but tears in his eyes.

The purple-leaf gentian swallowed Lao Wang, and even Xiao Hei's body fell below. Zi Yang would never abandon them like this.

"But, we are like this now..." Su Rui hesitated. Whether they can save their lives is a problem. How to save the world?

The purple-leaf gentian below is so huge, and its tentacles are as fast as lightning, and the juice is highly toxic. Not to mention destroying it, it is even a problem to get close to it.

Zi Yang said, "Think about it, since the purple-leaf gentian can hollow out the sarcophagus below, why has it been locked by the Golden Spirit Bone Tower?"

Jin Guoqiang looked at the swastika on the stone slab and said, "What do you mean is the sealing power of this divine talisman?"

Zi Yang shook his head: "I don't believe in theology, I believe in science. There must be something it fears in this golden spirit bone tower!"

Su Rui's eyes lit up, "What you said makes sense! This purple-leaf gentian can drill in through the cracks of the stone slabs, but it stopped in the blood dragon wooden coffin, which means that there is something in the tomb chamber that can restrain it."

Zi Yang nodded: "As long as you can find what suppresses it, it will be easy to do. We can continue to go deeper, find the core of Purple Leaf Gentian, and then..."

Zi Yang threw a piece of c4 explosive in his hand.

He took out this explosive from Niu Da's bag. While searching below, Zi Yang untied Niu Da's backpack and hung it on himself, and also put away the detonator that Li Tianming threw on the ground.

Although there is only one piece of explosive, if it can directly hit the vital point, there is still a chance to eliminate the purple-leaf gentian tree.

At this moment, everyone scattered and looked for anything "suspicious" in the cave. Zi Yang poured out all the jewelry in several layers of gold trunks, spread the floor, and looked at the treasures all over the ground and felt worried. If it was really the thing in the Golden Spirit Bone Tower that suppressed the purple-leaf Gentian Tree, how did they judge which kind of thing it was?

A Chong said: "Use the simplest method to bring it up and do the same experiment."

Jin Guoqiang shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous. What should I do if this thing can't be controlled?"

Zi Yang thought for a while: "There is no other way, I can only take a risk and try it!"

Turning his head to Su Rui, "You just said that the leaves of the purple-leaf gentian once stayed in the blood dragon wooden coffin, right?"

Su Rui nodded.

"This shows that at least the Blood Dragon Wood is attractive to it, okay, then we are like this!"

Zi Yang said this and this to everyone, and several people looked at each other. A Chong nodded and said, "You can try!"

Su Rui and Jin Guoqiang looked at each other. Zi Yang's method was too dangerous, but other than that, they had no other better solution, so they had to take a risk.

Everyone started to act separately. A Chong and Zi Yang lifted the lid of the blood dragon wooden coffin that was thrown aside and smashed it with gold bars to split it.

A Chong handed Zi Yang the longest piece of wood with a flying knife to cut into a wooden stick as thick as an arm. This flying knife was also taken out of Niu Da's backpack, and it was of great use at this time.

Su Rui and Qingwen untied the mountaineering rope tied to the golden bottle of Li Tianming and others, and made a living condom at the end.

After everything was ready, A Chong wrapped his hands with a down jacket and gently raised the corner of the stone slab covering the hole.

Su Rui and Qingwen put the climbing rope on the corner of the stone slab, then stood away from a distance, and held the other end of the rope with both hands.

A Chong squatted at the entrance of the cave and stood on standby.

Zi Yang stood by the pit, holding the wooden strip about two meters in his hand, and prayed secretly in his heart: I hope this method will be useful.

Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and nodded: "Let's go!"

Su Rui and Qingwen pulled the mountaineering rope and tried hard together. The stone slab was uncovered. Zi Yang threw down a night pearl, looked down and couldn't help but his scalp was numb. Under the fluorescent light of the night pearl, he saw dozens of tentacles at the bottom of the cave, like a group of snakes being combed.

Zi Yang threw down a few pieces of blood dragon wood in his hand. The "group of snakes" seemed to be stimulated, and their heads were raised and twisted around the blood dragon wood. It seemed that the smell of blood dragon wood made them even more excited.

Zi Yang slowly hangs down the blood dragon wood in his hand. Although this blood dragon wood is nearly two meters long, it is still three or four meters away from the bottom of the cave. At such a long distance, the group of snakes at the bottom of the cave did not seem to be affected.

Zi Yang was about to lie down and stretch his hands, but suddenly a tentacle as thick as an arm jumped out from the hole, wrapped around the blood dragon wood, and quickly "swimmed" around the wooden stick.

The tentacles of the purple-leaf gentian have been stuck to the rock wall below the entrance of the cave, and are in the blind spot of their vision, so Zi Yang did not pay attention at first. This unexpectedly scared him and fell backwards to the ground. The blood dragon wood dragged in his hand brought out a piece of "tenta".

A Chong was quick and quick, and he saw a flash of cold light, his tentacles were cut off in the waist, and a stream of blue and purple liquid splashed out.

The rope in Su Rui and Qingwen loosened the hand, and with a bang, the thick stone slab was again covered on the entrance of the cave.

Everyone smelled a fishy smell in their noses. Zi Yang saw that A Chong's arms were splashed with blue purple juice on his down jacket, and asked stutteringly: "A Chong, are you okay?"

A Chong shook his head, stepped forward and stepped on the still twisting tentacles.

The cut-off tentacle is more than one meter long, the size of the wrist, and is still tightly wrapped around the blood dragon wood, as if it is about to break the blood dragon wood.

Zi Yang slowly approached and found rows of suction cups growing under the tentacles. At this time, black thorns emerged from the small hole of the suction cup, all of which were deeply inserted into the blood dragon wood.

Su Rui understood why Ermao, who was hit by the tentacle, fell to the ground and died instantly. When the tentacle attacked, it would extend a poisonous sting from the suction cup and inject venom into the attacked person's body.

Everyone brought the night pearl together to see the full picture of this tentacle.

The purple-leaf gentian they saw just now were mostly the same as fingers, but this vine was much thicker, like a python, with round heads and nail-sized scales. The branches were bare and there were no leaves like small hands. It seemed that this should be a trunk. Of course, there was still a big difference from the trunk of the bucket in the sarcophagus.

Qingwen used a mountaineering rope to tightly wrap the head of the tentacles with the blood dragon wood, and then wrapped it around the blood dragon wood for a few turns, tightly tied the tentacles to the blood dragon wood. The broken root was wrapped with a cloth piece of a down jacket and stuck to the ground.

Now, this "remnant body" of the purple-leaf gentian is tied to the blood dragon wood by five flowers, ready to be interrogated by everyone.

Zi Yang took a deep breath, picked up a gold bar from the ground, and slowly approached the tentacles without any response.

Zi Yang rubbed the tentacles with a gold bar, but still no response.

Su Rui picked up a string of silver jewelry, picked it up with wooden strips and placed it slowly on it, without any response.

Coral, agate, jade, crystal, pearls... I tried almost everything in the golden coffin, but the tentacles were unresponsive.

"Is this thing dead?" asked Jin Guoqiang, who was lying on the ground.

A Chong shook his head, his tentacles were still twitching slightly, twisting, and the stings in the suction cup were still biting the blood dragon wood.

Zi Yang was a little discouraged and sat on the ground, but was hit by something.

Zi Yang touched out the thing under her butt, illuminated it with a night pearl, and found that it was a Dzi bead stone the size of a little finger, showing various strange symbols such as circles and triangles. Zi Yang's heart moved and inserted the Dzi bead stone on the wooden strips, slowly approaching the tentacles.

Suddenly, the tentacles twisted desperately, and the scales on their heads were shaking violently, making a "hissing" sound, like a rattlesnake.
