Chapter 20
The previous and subsequent events were clearly so clear in my impression. Even the maggots that emerged from the rotten flesh of the corpse at that time were clearly remembered, but he just couldn't remember the appearance of the person and what he said.
There seems to be a corner of chaos in my mind. The harder I explore, the thicker the fog there becomes.
Xiang Qi had a split headache, cold sweat slid down from his forehead, and had to hold his head with both hands and grit his teeth to endure it. No matter how hard he tried, it would be futile.
It’s useless to think too much now.
There is no so-called day and night in Netherworld City, and the sky has always been so gray.
Xiang Qi raised his wrist and looked at the time. The beating electronic number was shown at 20:28. Two hours had passed since he came out of the portal. In the Jedi, it should be lunch time now.
When I lived comfortably at home, I never realized that I was so obsessed with three meals. The theory proposed by psychologist Maslow is correct at all. Among the five human needs, the most basic one is physiological needs. If hunger, thirst, clothing, housing, etc. are not satisfied, survival will become a problem. In this sense, physiological needs are the greatest motivation to promote people's actions.
It is just that he can only eat to complete the task, which gives him the motivation to move forward.
Xiang Qi put away his skateboard, swallowed the strange scene in front of him, and finally strided into the mysterious land.
There are some large and small earth pits on the ground, and there are signs of being burned by fire around the earth pits, as if someone had buried landmines here in advance.
Xiang Qi held the gun in both hands, and the gun was loaded.
He was so careful every step, for fear that something would suddenly come out from somewhere and swallow him. Less than a minute after walking, his back was wet with sweat. The more silent it was, the more mental torture it was. He had to admit that he was embarrassed.
The boy's gaze suddenly stopped at a black spot in the distance, which was a skeleton wearing a black cloak.
The dead bone was kneeling face down, as if he was about to get up from the ground at any time. The hand bone exposed outside the cloak was only three finger bones, and he was tightly pinching a piece of worn-out cloth.
The cloak covered its head, and a ball of yellow and dirty hair was exposed on the edge of the brim of the hat. There were a few strands that seemed to be scorched by heat, but the cloak was intact.
Xiang Qi walked slowly and poked the dead bone with Beretta's barrel. The body under the cloak suddenly moved, and Xiang Qi was so scared that he jumped away quickly, pointing the gun straight to the other party. Thinking that if the thing rushed over, he would shoot immediately. As a result, the dead bone was just poked, and the skeleton loosened and lost its balance and scattered all over the ground.
Xiang Qi stared at the slowly fading cloak, and suddenly felt that he was so cowardly, like a woman. Maybe even that man, Yu Feifei, had the courage to be more manly than him.
Xiang Qi put away his guardian posture in anger and walked to the dry bones again. He pulled out the cloth piece tightly held by his hand bones, and opened it and saw that it was a simple map, which was the map of Netherworld City.
He could see that the green thing in the middle was the portal connecting to the Jedi City and the scene he had only seen today in the nearby area.
There are seven triangles drawn at different positions of the map, six of which are red forks, and the remaining one is coiled up by red. What is circled is their destination?
This is a treasure map? Is there the crutch he is looking for?
Judging from the number of dead bones of various animals scattered around, it should be a team of people led by the owner of the cloak, a large team of about 300 monsters.
What caused this team to fail here and be wiped out?
Xiang Qi inspected the site burned by fire and the bones on the ground, and found that most of the bones were intact, but some of them had traces of being chopped by sharp weapons. The bones under the black cloak, the nameless son and tail finger of the right hand were also cut off by a sword.
Obviously, there was a fierce battle here, with more than 300 bones belonging to two teams. A large number of teams used sharp swords to kill the smaller ones, but in the end a fire took everyone's lives and no one survived.
Who will release the fire?
Seeing that the situation is going to die with the enemy, the fire is cast with magic? But those who cast magic will never burn themselves, right?
Now, what can we do if we analyze the situation at that time? Instead of wasting time here, it is better to hurry up and find something.
Xiang Qi carefully studied the map and compared the surrounding things. He found that if you walk along the winding path on the right, you can reach a bridge built by the bones of a giant beast. The other end of the bridge is the location of the red circle.
Xiang Qixin thought that since the crutch has no clues, it would be better to follow this map to find out.
After walking through the section of road where bones were everywhere, Xiang Qi began to walk on the skateboard again.
After walking for a long time, the boy finally came to the suspension bridge built by the bones of giant beasts. He looked at the map again and compared the real scene in front of him. The triangle position formed with red coils was a small mountain peak. The mountain peak was surrounded by gray clouds, and there was a black cave on one side of the mountain.
Xiang Qixin thought that the team that was completely wiped out on the road was the cave opposite.
The only thing connecting the opposite mountain peak and the high cliff here is the huge skeleton of the giant beast in the middle. It is estimated that the two sides are about 50 meters long, and there is a valley filled with thick fog and bottomless. I don’t know if the bottom of the valley is water or land.
The head of the giant beast skeleton was slightly on the opposite bank, and the tail fell on the side where Xiang Qi was. The weight of the sternum in the middle made the bridge body look a big U-shaped shape. Two huge hook claws were hooked at the waist of the opposite peak, so that this giant bone could be hung over the deep valley for many years.
Xiang Qi looked at the bone bridge. Although the joints at the end of the tail are relatively dense, the shortest one is ten centimeters, each spine is about one meter long, and the longest one may be close to two meters. This giant beast of this size is definitely much larger than the largest dinosaur fossil unearthed in Argentina in 2007. It is said that it is the largest dinosaur fossil discovered in human history. The tail bone goes down along a nearly vertical arc, and the bottom of this big U-shaped shape is covered by mist, making it appear looming.
Xiang Qi concluded that the giant beast was less than 100 meters long. If it was to go to the other side through this U-shaped bridge, it would definitely not work if it was used. At least it had to climb over. Climb down the joints little by little, and then climb up the sternum and neck bones little by little. But what he was not sure about was that the wind and rain that had been hanging here for many years, would it fall apart like the skeleton in a black cloak just now.
In addition, there is no sunshine here all year round, it is cloudy and cold, and the air is quite humid. It is enough to support the weight of at least ten tons on the opposite mountain. If you add even a slight weight, it may cause collapse.
