After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 329 Graffiti in the Demon's Nest

It was always for others to ask him for advice. How could he ever feel this kind of embarrassment today?

"It is said in the family ancestor's remains..." As soon as the words He Lingchuan came out, Dong Rui rolled his eyes, "... the Chifeng Mine in the northwest of the Chipa Plateau was once occupied by an unknown monster. It not only ate miners, It eats villagers and many of the guards who enter the cave to deal with them. It can combine the mother and the mine into a nest, so the structure inside is very similar to a human body!"

He Lingchuan pointed at these soft leathers and said: "After the human mother loses consciousness, the torturer uses these tendons to connect her to the cave and transform her."

"A nest?" Dong Rui frowned even more tightly, "Like a human body?"

"The Eater is also the son of a god." Zhu Erniang answered quietly, "Among the gods, Jindu Mother is not powerful, but she can give birth to ghost cubs. The most powerful among them is the Eater, and even surpasses The mother’s ability! As soon as it is born, it will find a place to build a nest, and it will be difficult for others to defeat it.”

He Lingchuan looked shocked: "How did you know?"

"I have dealt with them in ancient times." Zhu Erniang said proudly, "These so-called...gods!"

"The divine son of Jindu Mother?" Dong Rui looked around, "Then divine son, no, where is the food abuser now?"

"They must have been killed." Zhu Erniang said, "When I checked into the Demon Nest, it was already empty."

He Lingchuan was surprised: "It has eaten all the people in Janna, and even this swamp is named after the devil's nest it built. Who can kill the predator?"

"The Kingdom of Bega."

This answer is a bit surprising.

"At that time, there were not only the Jana people in the swamp, but also seven or eight tribes; outside the swamp, Xishandang was dotted with villages and towns, and there were also people. The tormentors went out to look for food after eating all the Jana people. In more than ten years, almost It ate all the creatures within a radius of 300 miles. Later, this thing moved west, and the two military towns stationed on the border of the Bega Kingdom were also destroyed by it. Such a monster was invading the country, and the Bega Kingdom could not just sit back and watch. Send strong men to get rid of it." Zhu Erniang waved her front paw, "Of course, this is what the survivors of the Jana tribe said, and I don't know any further details."

The food abuser here was eliminated by Bega Kingdom?

"However, once the human mother placed on this table is disconnected from the cave, the cave should return to normal." He Lingchuan did not understand, "There is no one on this table, so why does the entire Demon Nest remain the same? Change back?"

"I don't know." With Zhu Erniang's extensive experience, she can only give two guesses, "Either she lay here for too long and changed the entire cave; or, this tormentor is too powerful. "

Whatever the reason, she didn't care.

Dong Rui carefully observed the so-called tendons and even took a knife and cut several pieces off: "Since it is related to Jindu Zai, this thing has value! It is worth studying, worth studying."

He Lingchuan walked around the stone room and suddenly found a pile of gravel in the deepest corner, as if something was buried.

When he walked over and took a look, he saw a deep pit dug under the rubble. A white skeleton was buried in it, but half of it was exposed.

"I pulled this apart to see." When Zhu Erniang came here for the first time, the rubble was well covered.

Why are these bones buried here?

In front of the small gravel mound, there is a square stone standing like a monument, but it is blank and has no words, and a pattern is painted on it.

It looked like half a maple leaf, but he wasn't sure.

The lines are black, like drawn with charcoal strips.

He Lingchuan immediately remembered that since he entered the underground palace, he occasionally saw various patterns on the stone walls, which were also drawn with charcoal strips, imitating flowers, birds, insects and fish, and various incomprehensible lines, like children's graffiti.

"Who painted this?"

Dong Rui also saw this pattern and said casually: "Maybe some wild children came in to play and scribble." He glanced at Zhu Erniang and added, "Before these big monsters moved in."

Zhu Erniang immediately retorted: "When I came, the entrance to the underground palace was sealed with sandstone."

He Lingchuan suddenly felt horrified.

If no one entered the crypt after the tormentor disappeared, who could have done the graffiti?

Dong Rui didn't care about these trivial matters. He squatted down and inspected the bones: "Well, it's a woman. Judging from the age of the bones, she is probably in her forties."

A woman who can appear in the stone room at the center of the Demon Nest?

"Is she the human mother of the tormentor?" He Lingchuan turned around and pointed at the stone platform, "She was supposed to be lying there. Who would bury her here?"

"Could it be that the Bega people who killed the tormentor buried it?"

"Maybe." He Lingchuan stared at the obelisk.

He had just fought a tormentor in his dream. There are still a few claw marks on the ground, very much like those left by a tormentor.

What Dong Rui said makes sense. Burying the dead is something only humans can do.

But deep down in his heart, he had a weird and absurd speculation.

Is it possible?

"Okay, I have fulfilled your request, and the medicinal materials have arrived. It's time for you to work for me!" Zhu Erniang began to drive away the two of them.

She also knows that haste makes waste, and she is not in a hurry. You’ve been waiting for thousands of years, and there’s only one or two months left?

On the way back to Dong Rui's workshop, He Lingchuan's mind was a mess.

He really didn't expect that the last dream would be connected with reality.

Two devil's nests, two tormentors...

Did they all really exist?

Did Dafanghu find out that he was about to drift into the Demon Nest Swamp with the water of Han River, so he arranged the Chifeng Mine Cave mission for him in his dream?

Was it to make him understand reality better?

He Lingchuan felt that it was more than that.

His missions and actions in dreams were always guided intentionally or unintentionally.

Who was doing this, Dafanghu?

Does this artifact have its own consciousness?

He Lingchuan's mind was full of thoughts, and he always felt that there was a clue flashing before his eyes, but he just couldn't catch it.

Just a little bit.

Always a little bit!

This feeling is really crazy.

"Hey, we're here!" Dong Rui in front stopped and waved his hand in front of him, "Has your soul been sucked away by Zhu Erniang?"

Unless Erniang is a hot-tempered little girl. He Lingchuan knocked his hand away: "What are you doing?"

"Help me." Dong Rui pointed to the pile of medicinal herbs in the corner, and then pointed to two square stones that were bigger than millstones, "First, make a stone mill and grind them all into powder!"

"Don't you have a medicine mill?" He Dashao didn't like hard labor.

"My medicine mill is so small that it can't grind much medicine. You have to make me one that's bigger than a stone mill." Dong Rui glanced at him, "I specifically asked you to come here as an assistant. If you don't want to do it, go back to Zhu Erniang."

It's not a good thing to always hang around in front of a man-eating spider monster, as it can easily arouse its appetite. He Lingchuan sighed and drew his sword to cut the stone.

This kind of work shouldn't be done with a long sword, but they were in the center of the swamp and didn't have any other handy tools. How could Fu Sheng Dao suffer such grievances?

He Lingchuan cut carefully, fearing that he would damage the precious sword.

The spider guard was at the door, supervising the two of them working.

"Smooth it and then polish it. Yes, smooth it a little so that you can use it later." Dong Rui sorted the medicinal materials, and his mouth was not idle.

The spider demon also found some human tools such as axes and chisels for them. He Lingchuan took them and said, "Can you make another No. 34? What base materials do you need? I will find a way to catch them for you."

No. 34 is the strange bird that helped Dong Rui escape several times. This demon nest is surrounded by spiders. They may have to go to heaven to escape.

"Do you think I don't want to?" Dong Rui said unhappily, "No. 34 was a broad-nosed bat before the transformation, but it has a trace of the bloodline of the ancient great demon. Do you know how many years I have been looking for it to find such a one?! Do you think demon puppets can be made at will, like wooden puppets that are everywhere on the street? Ah?"

His tone became higher and higher, and he was obviously very angry.

What kind of demon puppet master is he without a demon puppet in hand?

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "I see that the demon puppets you created all obey you. Can you...?" Because there were spider guards outside, he didn't say it openly, but just pointed in the direction of the ventricle cave.

If Dong Rui could control Zhu Erniang by body modification, it would be awesome.

But if that were the case, the first one to escape would be him, He Lingchuan.

"You wish." Dong Rui sighed, "The demon puppets I modified in the past were either raised from childhood, or had simple minds, or were seriously injured and had unclear consciousness, so that they could wash away their old acquaintances and recognize me as their master. Zhu Erniang is a great demon left over from ancient times. I'm afraid her soul is many times tougher than you and me. I'd be courting death if I dared to do this."

"Then how confident are you that you can make the medicine it needs?"

Dong Rui was silent.

He took out the tendons left by the Cruel Eater and cut them into several pieces, either burning them or soaking them in potion, and grinding another piece into powder.

Just when He Lingchuan thought that this guy was not going to speak, he shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. If the potion you stole is still there, or even if I get a little body sample from Jinduzi, the success rate can be increased."

He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Can Jindu ghost cub be used?"

"Nonsense!" Dong Rui stared, "Jindu ghost cub is half human and half god, it is simply the prototype of the 鬬 beast! The gods created the 鬬 beast, maybe they used it as a model!"

He Lingchuan thought so too, Jindu ghost cub can walk in the human world, is almost not afraid of Yuanli, and has powerful and strange power. The Hu beast that appeared in the early Middle Ages also have these characteristics.

"However, the sadist is not in the demon nest, and the only thing left is these tendon-like tissues. Alas, it's not easy to deal with." Dong Rui also scratched his head, "Go and grind the medicine now! By the way, catch the weakest spider demon in the corner!"

Five test subjects are already in place. Zhu Erniang doesn't feel sorry for her offspring, so he has no burden when doing experiments.

The spider demon was tied up when it was sent over, and this one was reddish in color, which reminded He Lingchuan of the hairy crabs in September every year.

But Dong Rui cut off all eight of its claws with a knife, causing it to squeak in pain.
