Chapter 427: Eternal Sleep
Li Yuanhong frowned when he saw the introduction of these monsters. If there are two of these monsters, he can still deal with them, but obviously, this is a group. If the other party finds out and charges, he and the guards will have to be killed. It was flattened.
Looking at the retreating figure, Li Yuanhong became more cautious, so the two quietly followed the patrol team towards the valley.
When he arrived outside the valley, Li Yuanhong found that there were more barbarians patrolling near the valley. On the mountain ridges on both sides of the valley, Li Yuanhong saw several huge figures. It seemed that they should be the legendary Cyclops. Because the distance was too far, Li Yuanhong couldn't see the attributes of these giants, so he could only detect them from a distance.
Li Yuanhong saw that the defense at the entrance of the valley was very tight, and he and the guards could not get in at all, so Li Yuanhong signaled to the guards, and the two began to search along the mountain for comrades who could enter the valley.
But Li Yuanhong found out helplessly that there were Cyclops and barbarians guarding the valley. It seemed that the other party had a strong sense of prevention.
After turning around for more than half a circle, Li Yuanhong wanted to give up. At this moment, Li Yuanhong was holding a rock with his hand, and he faintly felt the wind blowing from the rock. This made Li Yuanhong stunned. Is there a passage behind the rock?
So Li Yuanhong used the starlight to carefully check around the rock. Sure enough, there was a cave behind the rock. So Li Yuanhong and the guard worked together to carefully move the rock away. During this period, Li Yuanhong and the guard did not dare to make a sound for fear of being caught. The barbarian guards on the ridge heard.
It took the two of them a full half hour. If it weren't for the large number of tools placed in Li Yuanhong's space, it is estimated that the rock would not be able to be moved.
In fact, Li Yuanhong originally wanted to put the rock directly into the space, but he was helpless to find that for some reason, the rock could not be placed into the space at all.
Since Li Yuanhong had to hurry up and sneak into the valley, he did not examine the stone carefully until he came back.
Entering the cave, he was greeted by a gust of moisture. It was obvious that there was water in the cave. Sure enough, he hadn't gone very far when Li Yuanhong heard the faint sound of running water.
Since they entered the cave, Li Yuanhong was not afraid of anyone discovering them, so he lit a torch. As a result, he saw a mountain stream before going far.
Under the light of the torch, the stream was crystal clear and felt refreshing. The guard was so excited that he wanted to go up and have a taste.
Li Yuanhong quickly grabbed the guard: "You can't drink this water!"
"What's wrong, Brother Li?" The guard looked at Li Yuanhong doubtfully.
Li Yuanhong pointed at the stone walls on both sides of the stream and saw that the stone walls were densely covered with red and black centipedes. These centipedes were eating a kind of red moss growing on the stone walls.
"Why are there so many centipedes?" The guard was shocked. These centipedes were growing by the stream. They would inevitably pollute the stream water. If he drank it, he might be poisoned.
"Not only is the centipede poisonous, but the red moss is also poisonous, so you almost lost your life!"
"Isn't the water in this stream poisonous? Wouldn't it kill someone if you slipped out? Why don't you see those monsters outside drinking water and dying?" the guard asked in confusion.
"This stream is poisonous, but you see there is a lot of green moss downstream. The stream water flows from above, and the toxins will be slowly absorbed by the moss. When it flows out of the cave, the water will no longer be poisonous."
"It's really strange to have such an operation!" the guard sighed.
The two of them did not delay here. After all, the centipedes on the wall made people feel scared.
As the cave extended inwards, Li Yuanhong and the guards saw more strange things and animals in the cave, and many small animals were poisonous, and these things were afraid of light. When Li Yuanhong and the guards' torches shone Next, these animals stayed away from each other.
As the tunnel extended, Li Yuanhong finally saw another boulder at the other end. This boulder was very similar to the boulder blocking the outside.
Li Yuanhong put his ear against the stone and faintly heard snoring coming from the other side of the stone. Apparently there was someone on the other side of the stone. This made Li Yuanhong very embarrassed. He finally found an entrance to the cave, but the enemy guarding him couldn't go over to check.
However, Li Yuanhong and the guards moved the boulder slightly to expose some gaps in the stone wall so that Li Yuanhong could see what was going on outside.
At this time, the outside was already a bit white. Li Yuanhong and the guards had been walking in the cave for most of the day. It was almost dawn outside. The weak light shone into the cave, making Li Yuanhong's eyes wide open. He saw many corpses hanging in the cave, some of which were animals, and more of which were human corpses, the corpses of missing soldiers. In a corner of the cave, there are many bones piled up, most of which are human.
"Damn cannibals, I will make you pay with blood today!" Li Yuanhong gritted his teeth secretly.
Just when Li Yuanhong was itching with hatred, a huge figure stood up from the stone slab beside the cave. It was a huge Cyclops. He brought in a lot of firewood from the outside and placed it under a large stone pot. , and scooped a lot of water from the stream flowing out of the cave, added it to the stone pot, and picked two corpses from the corpses hanging on the ceiling of the cave. They did not use a knife, just used brute force to split the corpses and threw them away. Put it in the pot and start cooking.
It turned out that the Cyclops used this place as a canteen, but this place should not be enough for the Cyclops and barbarians in the entire valley to eat. As expected, not long after, more Cyclops and barbarians came to fetch water.
"Brother Li, there is a Cyclops guarding outside, how do we get out?" the guard asked in a low voice.
Li Yuanhong lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Have you seen the Odyssey?"
"Odyssey? What is that?" The guard was stunned.
"That's a book written by Homer. It's a very old book. It mentions the Cyclops. They captured a few humans and wanted to eat them. Do you know how those few people escaped in the end? "
"I don't know!" the guard said, shaking his head.
"They used strong wine to get the Cyclops drunk, and then blinded the Cyclops' only eye." Li Yuanhong said.
"But we don't have strong wine here!" the guard said blankly.
Li Yuanhong shook his head helplessly: "We are not their friends. If you invite them to drink, I won't give it even if you have them!"
"Then why are you bringing up this story, Brother Li?" The guard still didn't turn around.
"Silly, you see, they all use the river at our feet for eating and drinking. Haven't you ever thought of adding some ingredients to this river?" Li Yuanhong said.
"Add more ingredients?" The guard thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately took off his shoes.
Li Yuanhong looked at the guard with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"
"Brother Li, don't you want to add some ingredients to them? I'll turn this river into my footbath!"
Li Yuanhong was completely speechless this time: "No matter how many times you wash your feet, you won't disgust them. They haven't seen you washing your feet here. Besides, can you wash your feet here all day long?"
"What do you mean, Brother Li?"
"Put poison!"
"Poison?" The guard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Soon, Li Yuanhong and the guards came to the place where they saw the centipede before. However, Li Yuanhong was not in a hurry to catch the centipede. Instead, he took out the poison book he had obtained from the skull ring. If the centipede was used to poison directly, the poison would be so powerful. Poison may not kill these Cyclops and barbarians.
Li Yuanhong flipped through the poison book and finally saw a chapter that specifically explained the formula for centipedes to make poisons. Among them was a chronic poison. The poison would not take effect immediately, but would take effect twenty-four hours later. Moreover, this chronic poison The raw materials used for the poison can be found in this cave, which saves Li Yuanhong from looking for materials everywhere, so Li Yuanhong followed the method in the book and began to prepare the poison in the inner cave.
Li Yuanhong prepared poison for the first time. It took him several hours to prepare it. It was almost time for the giants to have lunch, so Li Yuanhong and the guards quickly sprinkled the prepared poison into the creek in front of the boulder. Then Li Yuanhong started Keep an eye on the movement outside the boulder.
After a while, the Cyclops and the guards began to come over to get water for cooking. This time, they did not find that the water was different from the previous ones. After all, these monsters have always eaten dirty food. There are some obscure things that they don't care about at all.
Soon, the monsters in the entire camp ate the meat made with poisonous potion, and they were all eating happily, and they were even competing with each other.
Li Yuanhong was waiting quietly. After all, these poisons were not released immediately, so Li Yuanhong could only wait quietly.
The whole day and night passed in silence, and finally at noon of the next day, the giants who had taken the poisonous potion for a day began to feel uncomfortable. Some giants rolled on the ground holding their stomachs, and some fell straight up. Foaming at the mouth on the ground.
Li Yuanhong finally let out a breath of anger: "Let's go out and kill the Cyclops who are still alive!"
"Okay, let's go pay our dead brothers!" the guard said through gritted teeth.
So the two of them worked together to push away the boulder. The two of them drew out their weapons and charged towards the cyclops that were still rolling outside the cave.
However, as soon as Li Yuanhong finished killing a few Cyclops lying at the entrance of the cave, he saw a few barbarians walking in from the entrance of the valley. What they saw in front of them made them a little dazed. When they saw Li Yuanhong and the guards, they seemed to understand everything, so These barbarians drew out the broad-backed axes slung on their backs and rushed towards Li Yuanhong with shouts.
Of course Li Yuanhong would not flinch at this time, and he and the guard also shouted and rushed towards the barbarians.
When the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, a wave of magic was emitted from the barbarian's body. The barbarian's speed immediately increased. It was obvious that the barbarian used a brutal collision.
The guards and Li Yuanhong also immediately used their clone skills. This caused the barbarians who were charging towards them not to know which target to rush to, because three guards appeared in front of them. Although Li Yuanhong did not change, in fact, Li Yuanhong's true body had already been Hidden to the side.
