Chief Acuo looked at the bronze forest in front of him, his eyes revealed a perseverance, and he said loudly: "I firmly believe that the Sun God Bird is always there, it is just protecting us in a different way!"
Perhaps because he felt that this bronze forest was created by the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom, Chief Acuo not only was not afraid, but instead stepped into it with great strides.
We also followed him into this bronze forest.
Lao Jiang was very cautious. He reminded everyone not to fall behind when walking inside and to be careful of getting lost.
Saying beware of getting lost actually implies three points.
Be careful!
Watch out for monsters!
Be careful of ambush!
Lao Jiang quickly came to Chief Acuo. He intended to protect Chief Acuo, and the two of them continued to lead us.
They always kept a safe distance of three to five meters from us. Suddenly Lao Jiang stopped and waved behind him: "Li Jinglan, come here and take a look."
I quickly quickened my pace, but I didn't expect that what Lao Jiang showed me was actually a burnt corpse.
The corpse was now at their feet, with its western limbs twisted!
Judging from the unburned materials on the corpse, it should be the blue clothes of the ancient Yi people.
If I guessed correctly, this person was one of the first pursuers of the mountain guards to follow the waterfall!
But why was he burned to death?
The west side of here is full of cold bronze sacred trees. Let alone fire, there is no even light.
But the corpse in front of him had dots of small black scars all over the exposed skin, and the western limbs were almost burnt. Only his lower legs and forearms were burned, revealing the white bones inside.
Especially that face, the mouth area was even burned out of the gums, which looked really scary.
"Is it fire? No, it seems to be a very corrosive acid." Looking at the corpse in front of me, I must say: "The traces of fire and strong acid corrosion are different."
Every time I glanced at the corpse, I felt a numbness in my scalp, as if I had been burned.
Soon an idea flashed into my mind.
I looked at Lao Jiang in surprise: "Could it be that there are golden beetles here too?"
Lao Jiang nodded, indicating that this was the same as his guess.
I was even more surprised: "But doesn't the golden beetle only guard the Sun Temple?"
Lao Jiang's mind was obviously spinning faster than mine, and he immediately restored the scene: "Have you ever thought about this? The mountain guards who chased into the waterfall were not dead at first, but were captured alive. And the other party So I chose to capture them alive because I wanted to use them as bait to test the various mechanisms in this tomb, so as to reduce my own casualties. "
"Obviously this is Lao Wu's handiwork again. He has used this trick before."
In Lao Jiang's long and leisurely voice, we learned that he, Lao Wu and He Lanxue had visited a large tomb in Shaanxi together!
It was a tomb of the Buddha Mother. Tomb robbers had visited this place before and even camped nearby, discussing how to dig into it?
Lao Wu was very smart. After he knew that there were thirty-six mechanisms hidden in the tomb of the Buddha Mother, he deliberately captured a group of tomb robbers alive to lure out the corpse king Chi Yan Mo Kui inside. After that...
As he spoke, Lao Jiang's eyes dimmed. It seemed that every time he recalled the experience of living and dying with Lao Wu, the pain in his heart would become deeper!
"These evil people, we, the ancient Yi people, will never let them go!" The voice of the Acuo clan chief brought Lao Jiang back to reality from his memories.
Chief Acuo smashed the ground with his fist, gritted his teeth, covered the face of the deceased with his turban, and sang a sad mourning song of the ancient Yi people.
At this time, what I am most concerned about is: Are there still a large number of golden beetles hiding in this bronze forest?
Lao Jiang said that according to his guess, when we were trapped in the Sun Temple just now, Lao Wu and Wu Xi used several mountain guards to lure out the golden beetles guarding the bronze sacred tree, and then found a safe way to escape. .
The more I think about it, the more likely it is that these guys are all human beings.
Just when I was about to turn back and warn Yin Ling'er to be careful, Lao Jiang suddenly turned cold and pulled out the black knife from his waist.
I suddenly took three steps back and saw his blade suddenly nailed to the charred corpse on the ground.
Chief Acuo was a little dissatisfied and asked Lao Jiang what he was doing?
However, he discovered that when Lao Jiang drew back his black knife, there was a golden beetle the size of a thumb stuck under the tip of the knife.
It turned out that the golden beetle was hiding on the body and did not leave. After seeing someone coming, it waited for an opportunity to attack. The target it just targeted happened to be me who was about to leave!
If Lao Jiang hadn't discovered it quickly, I might have burned a big hole in my foot.
I just wanted to say thank you to Lao Jiang, but Lao Jiang frowned so seriously: "How many times have I told you, the more dangerous the place, the more we cannot take it lightly! It's okay that Master is here now, but if you are alone in the future, What should I do?”
After that, he sheathed the black knife and said with a stern look: "Lao Wu and the others must not have gone far, let's chase them!"
As soon as he heard that he could take revenge, the Acuo clan leader stood up with a roar and led several mountain guards to quickly follow Lao Jiang's pace.
Yin Ling'er and I followed closely behind, and gradually, our group went deep into the forest made of bronze sacred trees.
Walking inside is another feeling. The Western Zhou Dynasty is surrounded by tall and cool bronze sacred trees. The cold and solemn feeling unique to bronzes surrounds me from all directions in the west. It makes me feel like I have goosebumps all over my body. .
The sound of thumping footsteps echoed in my ears, as if we were trapped in a world of bronze.
This place makes me feel indescribably weird. I always feel like someone is staring at us in this bronze forest. Their eyes are everywhere in the west...
While running, I even felt that the bronze sacred trees were alive. They were desperately retreating, as if there was something terrible ahead.
Gradually, the familiar splashing sound suddenly sounded in Western Zhou, like someone pouring beans on top of our heads, one after another.
It seemed like there was a hailstorm, and hailstones the size of a baby's fist were hitting us one after another.
I looked towards the Western Zhou Dynasty in horror, and saw golden beetles sprouting up one after another like mushrooms on the bronze sacred tree next to me!
The round insects crawled out from nowhere, and they were densely packed, like a tide, covering the originally dark bronze sacred tree in brilliant gold.
They fell down one after another and came towards us.
For a moment, there seemed to be an ocean of gold surging on the ground!
