Chapter 1088: Tomb of Tusi King (38)
"Ah——!"
The shrill, shrill, and inhuman-like screams came from the curled-up human skin, as if several people were screaming out in anger at the same time. In the chaos, there was a heavy and turbid sound like the bursting of swamp bubbles, mixed with the screams and roars, like an evil sound from another world, which made people feel dizzy and nauseous, and their SAN value dropped sharply, and they had a double vision in front of their eyes.
The white tiger was attacked by the sound and froze for a moment. At this moment, the curled-up Li Jun's human skin suddenly expanded and opened, like a poisonous and rotten net, and it was like a flytrap swallowing insects to wrap the white tiger completely in the human skin. But in the next second when it opened and became thinner, the white tiger suddenly recovered from its stiffness, and its pair of tiger eyes were filled with animal cunning and cruelty. Its huge claws stepped on the middle of Li Jun's human skin, and it raised its head fiercely. With a tearing sound, this huge, festering and dirty human skin was violently torn in half by the white tiger!
"Ah--!!"
The human skin of Li Jun, who had fallen into a trap and was at a disadvantage, screamed again, but it had no effect on the white tiger. The huge white tiger and the human skin that was broken into two sections and twisted like a python were fighting frantically in the ruins, like a scene in a myth, with tiger roars and screams intertwined in chaos, and the torn rotten skin was struggling like an octopus, trying to cover the mouth and nose of the white tiger and wrap the body of the white tiger, but the dirty mud was completely blocked by a burst of light before it could dirty the white tiger's fur.
The white tiger was glowing, and the faint light attached to the white tiger's hair and claws, like a layer of fluorescent light, like the light emitted by a tiger marrow oil lamp. This thin layer of light was like the sharpest blade attached to the claws of the white tiger, causing great damage to Li Jun's human skin with every ferocious bite and every slap of the white tiger. Soon the human skin was torn into pieces and shattered, and it was broken and shattered even more severely, and could no longer maintain its original intact form. Several pieces of residual skin broke and fell off, and were shattered by the white tiger's slap.
"Ah--!!!"
The chaotic and piercing roar exploded again, and the human skin struggled and twisted like crazy, but unlike before, the people who heard this shrill roar seemed to understand the meaning of the shouting. Li Jun was shouting for his younger brother. The white tiger smashed the human skins of the brothers of the Li family that he had originally merged together.
"Tsk."
Yiling, who was watching the battle not far away, frowned and covered his ears, but the chaotic and noisy roar continued to echo in his ears. Li Jun had long been completely polluted, and being able to "understand" its roar showed that the degree of pollution of the people around him was also deep to a certain extent. It's almost over, Yi Ling thought unhappily, Li Jun's roar kept echoing, as if he was calling him "brother".
It's really disgusting, not just any piece of mud can be his brother.
But the opposite happened. The shattering of the Li brothers' skin stimulated Li Jun. He withstood the fierce bite of the white tiger, and his ugly and dirty skin twisted and surging. Two pieces of gray-white salt stones as big as a baby's fist fell out of the layers of rotten skin.
This is the salt grains of the Salt God! The white tiger had been on guard for a long time, and its long tail swept across like an iron whip, smashing the two pieces of salt stones in the air! Most of the broken salt grains were extinguished by the light attached to the tiger's hair, but many broken salt fell into the ruins under their feet.
Boom——!
The aftermath of the explosion was still there, the roar was endless, the ground was shaking violently, and the moment the salt particles fell, the ruins mud where the white tiger stood struggled like a living thing, and a large amount of gelatinous mud swelled and bulged. This was the radiation after the explosion of the radium tube and the pollution in the bodies of countless villagers. The sludge produced was like a volcanic crater that continuously spewed out a large amount of thick magma. The expanding mud lifted the white tiger to a height of more than ten meters in an instant.
But this was not just a simple mud hill, its mud surface was extremely smooth, and any debris such as broken bricks, tiles, and stones would soon be melted and turned into the same smooth mud. At first glance, the mud hill looked like it was covered with a layer of water film.
No, that was not a water film.
"Then, what kind of monster is that?"
After running away 200 meters away, Wang Pengpai and others looked back, their pupils suddenly shrank, their throats were dry, and even their breathing stopped.
On the extremely smooth surface of the high-raised mud hill, there are always piles of sticky mud flowing down like the slurry of a bursting cake. The falling mud blocks disintegrate in the air and turn into a handful of dirty gray-white mist. There are countless densely packed insects. The insects gather into a group and pounce on the surface of the mud hill. They scatter and form a smooth white water film.
The radiation is constantly killing insects, and the gel-like mud produced keeps sliding down, but just like a huge ant ball encountering a flood, only the outermost insects die, while the inner insects are still safe and sound. Large groups of gray-white insects fly up and linger around the mud pile, like a misty fog. More and more insects cling to the surface of the mud ruins, and gradually it seems to be covered with a layer of dirty gray-white salt crust. Countless insects seal the radiation inside, and its surface is no longer flat. The sunken gray-white pits are like human facial features, looking into the distance empty.
Just like a swarm of insects gathered together and condensed into a huge and terrifying giant, the air was full of damp salty smell, the giant covered with gray-white salt shell was still expanding and getting taller, blocking the skylight, bringing extremely terrifying oppression, only the top was still not salted, the white tiger had torn Li Jun's human skin into tatters, but the light on its body was severely corroded by the salt worms, only a thin layer was left, and the tiger's claw pads were even wrapped in mud mixed with broken salt, showing a bit of embarrassment.
"Ah-ah-!"
Li Jun, who had almost given up resistance and allowed the white tiger to bite him, was still roaring from time to time. People who were severely polluted could hear him laughing crazily, cursing angrily, and crying sadly, like a madman. He was really crazy. A lot of chaotic thoughts were stuffed into everyone's mind, making everyone dizzy and nauseous. Li Jun seemed to have little consciousness left. He really thought that An Xuefeng's transformation into a white tiger was the white tiger that the Tujia people in the mountains and forests had worshipped for generations.
He laughed loudly, laughing at the explosion and destruction of the Li family, which finally attracted the tiger in the mountains, but what about the white tiger? It was still no match for the salt god and would eventually be killed by the salt god. Sure enough, the white tiger was a beast and could not be compared with the gods at all;
He was furious, angry at the people who messed up the situation and ruined his plan. After this battle, the Zhimata Village was destroyed, all the villagers and the Li family were finished, the white tiger would die, and the salt grains left by the salt god were also consumed. His plan was all over, and no one could change the impending danger.
He cried bitterly, crying why the white tiger came at this time? If the White Tiger had appeared earlier, a dozen years or decades earlier, when his sisters were born, when he was born, then nothing would have ended up like this, and he wouldn't have suffered so much pain for so many years.
He cursed, cursed the ignorant villagers, cursed his reckless and greedy father, cursed his blindly weak mother, cursed his stupid sisters, cursed his brothers who had no opinions, cursed everything in this world, everything was so ugly, nothing was worth remembering.
And his laughter, crying, rage, and cursing were eventually drowned out by the deafening thunder. The whistling wind blew up Mao Xiaole's Taoist robe. Hundreds of meters away, he held the seal and pinched the Five Thunders Jue with his hands. After the salt crust was completely stable and revealed, he flicked his fingers at the monster-like tall salt hill from a distance. A thunderbolt suddenly struck from the sky, and the dazzling white lightning tore through the sky before hearing the continuous rumbling thunder, but it was not just thunder.
The radium tubes and thunder tubes that were set up by An Xuefeng and others but not detonated in the first round were detonated by the thunderbolts brought by Mao Xiaole. The periphery of the ruins exploded with a loud bang. The salt domes that had just been cracked by the thunder were blown up by the detonators. The dirty salt shells that splashed and fell were soaked by radiation and turned into pools of gelatinous mud in an instant. The mud could not support such a high mound and flowed in all directions. Large and small corpses could be vaguely seen in the mud.
Those were the remains of the villagers of Zhimata Village that were not destroyed by the first round of radiation. After the second round of radiation, they quickly turned into gelatinous mud. The color was dark black like festering mold spots, containing a strong resentment.
But when the white tiger bit the last remnant of Li Jun and walked across the land, these black resentments naturally dissipated.
White tiger, white tiger.
The white tiger that the villagers of Zhimata believed in fanatically and worshiped for generations.
It finally appeared, killed the ‘sacrifice’, and saved all of them from the terrible pollution.
How lucky they were that they were finally freed by the white tiger.
This was the favor of the white tiger.
White tiger… white tiger…
The huge white tiger bit Li Jun’s human skin, and with its tail hanging down, it stepped over the muddy ruins. Under its claws, the black resentment dissipated and turned into a thin light, covering its fur. That was faith. The mud stains, cracked wounds, and traces of salt corrosion gradually disappeared. The white tiger’s fur was thick and clean, not stained with dust, and the villagers’ regrets were satisfied. The cold wind was bleak, and the Tujia funeral dance seemed to be faintly heard in the sobbing wind, ancient and rich, with joy.
‘If the first month does not come, the second month will come, and the leaves will bloom when the second month comes;
If the first month does not come, the second month will come, and the flowers will bloom when the second month comes.
In March, white paper is hung on the Qingming Festival, and leaves are scattered. In April, few people plant rice seedlings.
In March, white paper is hung on the Qingming Festival, and few people plant rice seedlings in April.
In May, the dragon boat is dragged into the water, and leaves are scattered.
The joyful and satisfying funeral songs floated and lingered on this dilapidated land, but made Wang Pengpai and others shiver, and a chill ran up their backs. For a moment, they were a little creepy.
The ignorant villagers were still ignorant until they died and their souls were scattered.
Their actions in the Li family were vigorous, but in the end they could only say that they saved themselves and could not change anything.
If there are still surviving villagers who continue to live and continue the old traditions, will such a tragedy happen again on this land many years later?
No one can answer this question, because all the villagers in Zhimata Village are dead.
Wang Pengpai and the others were upset, feeling a little heavy, as if a stone was pressing down on them. Yi Ling, on the other hand, did not have so many extra emotions. He just stared at the white tiger walking towards him. In the faint sound of funeral songs, the white tiger walked across the ground majestically like a mythical beast, swiftly jumped onto the huge insect body of the corn shoots, and climbed to the highest point in a few steps. Only at a close distance can you feel how big the white tiger is. It is taller than Yi Ling when it stands on four paws, as if it is covering him.
It is really big. If such a big white tiger was seen by people in ancient times, they would definitely think it is a mythical beast. Yi Ling could not suppress his smile, and smiled at the amber-colored, round tiger eyes that were still full of murderous spirit. The white tiger also stared at him closely. Under the thin light of faith, the tiger eyes seemed to have a more indifferent and cold divinity, and looked very fierce. It examined and sized up the white-haired young man who smiled at him, as if he was looking at his own sacrifice.
Then the white tiger came over, silently, rubbing against Yi Ling like a cat. Yi Ling could clearly feel the strong and hot body of the white tiger under its thick fur sticking to him. After passing by, the white tiger turned a corner like a python and stuck behind him. The tiger tail, as powerful as a steel whip, wrapped around his waist again. The huge tiger head rested on Yi Ling's left shoulder, and the beard rubbed his cheeks.
Snap, the white tiger let go and presented the spoils.
Yi Ling: !!!
The last small piece of Li Jun's soft and rotten skin fell to Yi Ling's feet like a dead mouse, successfully making the smile on his face disappear. Without waiting for the bubbling and dissipating mud to get on his shoes, Yi Ling jumped back suddenly, stuck to the white tiger behind him, and stepped on the white tiger's thick front paws. At the same time, he slapped the white tiger's big head away.
"What a dirty tiger."
Yiling took a breath and cursed: "Keep your head away from me - don't stick out your tongue to lick me, get out of here!!"
The author has something to say
Yiling [pushing the tiger's head desperately]: Get out of here, don't lick me, dirty tiger!
An Xuehu [I don't want to listen to the butterfly chanting]: prprprpr!
