Chapter 118: The Sixth Day
It's really a mass of things that makes people feel terrified when they see it.
Gu Juan sighed secretly, he had a jungle knife and a flaming palm, and even with the help of the power of the bride in red, he almost couldn't turn over under the pressure of fear at that moment, so it was not so surprising that Hu Yuanwai, Xiao Yun, Zheng Huyuan, and even Daoist Li would be frightened by the direct phantom, or even scared to death under the shock of the breath.
So, what are the people around the campfire, the "counting throats" they chant in their mouths?
After lying there and thinking for a long time, Gu Juan suddenly froze, and the expression on his face became a little gloomy and confused.
I don't know when he couldn't remember the terrifying image of Ji Throat that was difficult to describe in words, no matter how he thought about it, all that was left was the darkness above the campfire, and there was no trace of anything else.
"It's really too much to think about......"
Gu Juan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and a wry smile appeared on his face. "I was worried about whether I would be constantly frightened by the horror of that thing, but I didn't expect that after such a short time, I almost forgot about it. ”
Desperately searching for all the impressions about Ji Throat in his mind, just when his mind was swollen, he suddenly thought of an idiom from his previous life, and the interpretation of this idiom from a strange angle that he had heard people talk about.
Ye Gong is a good dragon.
The dragon, mysterious and noble, symbolizes respect, implies imperial power, and cannot be used by non-Ninety-Five Supreme families.
But in the beginning, all the way back to the time when the dragon first appeared as a totem, what was the image of the dragon, and how did people define it at that time?
He couldn't answer the question.
He could only know from ancient mythology that the dragon symbolized all living beings.
There are also descriptions of a head like a camel, horns like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a cow, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, and palms like a tiger.
From a certain point of view, it is a combination of various animals, taking a part of the body of various different creatures, and forming a body. And it can also be visible and hidden, small and huge, short and long, calling for wind and rain, mysterious and unpredictable.
Perhaps this is the primitive totem worship, the collection and unification after the struggle and annexation.
At that time, the strange interpretation that he scoffed at was that Ye Gong, as a mortal, could still have the strength to escape after looking directly at this mysterious and terrifying collection of life, which was already considered a superhuman in courage and action.
Thinking of this, Gu Juan's heart moved suddenly.
Although he still couldn't recall the specific appearance of the "counting throat" again, the words "totem" and "aggregation" were like a lightning bolt, suddenly crossing his mind.
The horror that cannot be described in words, the image that has left only a dark one, may really be vaguely described in these two words.
So it's possible that this thing that was worshiped by people I don't know how many years ago is actually a totem that a certain tribe has become more and more complex and unseemly after countless expeditions!?
By the way, there is also the bride in red.
She seemed to be really insane.
It's exactly the kind of late-stage psychosis, hysterical, and crazy that doesn't recognize six relatives.
Gu Juan remembered that the bride in red seemed to be talking about something while squealing sharply at the end.
He thought and thought about it until his body was back enough to move slowly, and then he remembered it.
The words she uttered were a little unreasonable.
At least it doesn't conform to the common sense of her own existence.
God's special objective existence.
Is this what he said to her?
But after a period of time, even he couldn't remember himself, but he didn't expect it to be firmly remembered by her.
Looking back and thinking about it, is the bride in red swollen?
As an alien life form that exists very idealistically, she keeps saying that she wants to pursue the objective existence of materialism, which is so absurd and strange.
Gu Juan wanted to laugh a little, but he was afraid that laughing would affect the wound, so he had to hold back and start thinking about things that made him less happy.
I don't know if tonight, the sixth night of the most horrific and deadly nightmare event, will he fall into it again.
If it really came again, in his current state, it was already unknown whether he would be able to borrow the power of the bride in red again and not die.
But if he didn't borrow it, he didn't seem to have any better way to get himself out of the nightmare.
This creates a contradiction, and it is difficult to have the best of both worlds.
So, how should he choose, the two buttons that hurt the enemy by 1,000 and self-damage 8,000, should he press or not?
Gu Juan sighed secretly, and with difficulty raised the arm that had been planted by the bride in red, and after taking a look, his mouth was suddenly full of bitterness, and he was stunned on the spot.
His "nuclear counterattack button" has disappeared.
Okay, the people have torn up the agreement and withdrawn all the aid programs.
He doesn't have to go back and forth now, and if the nightmare still comes tonight, there is only one option left, self-reliance.
Gu Ju's gaze never looked away, and his face became more and more gloomy and ugly.
Not only did the button disappear, but on his arm, the entire forearm from the elbow down was already left with only black bones, and there was no trace of flesh and blood.
Strangely, he didn't feel any pain all the time.
Moreover, he wondered why his bones were not white, but black.
Daytime on the sixth day.
Gu Juan didn't go anywhere, he stayed where he was, ate all the dry food in the basket, caught a hare that didn't have long eyes, and roasted it with a fire in his palm and ate it together.
Even the rest of the liquor he had brought with him was drunk clean.
Click!
He moved his right hand as black as ink, and only the fingers of the bones touched each other with a crisp sound.
He looked at it again and again, always feeling strange, and couldn't understand why this situation happened, it looked like a chasing robot in the Terminator movie, peeling off the flesh and revealing mechanical bones.
Judge Gu sighed, his right hand was already useless, and even the Flame Palm True Qi could no longer swim here, only reaching his elbow as if he was in a desperate situation, unable to take another step forward.
Maybe in the future, when you fight against people again, this Nine Yin Black Bone Claw suddenly shines out of the sleeve of your robe, which will scare the enemy?
He tried to cross the blade of the axe to scrape the bare black bones of his right hand and forearm, but after only a moment, it seemed that the sharp pain coming from the depths of his soul made him unbearable, and he had to give up the feat of learning to scrape bones and cure poison like Second Brother Guan.
This feeling......
He stretched out his left hand, intact, and touched the black bone of his right arm, and suddenly understood something.
This is the mark, just like the two red dots left by the bride in red after biting him, and now the entire right arm and forearm and the fingers of the palm are planted with this black mark on the throat.
As time passed, Gu Juan's mood became more and more condensed, but he didn't show it.
At the fourth watch last night, he used the power of the red clothes to regain his clarity at the last moment, and poured all his power to burst out an axe and slashed at the body of the "Ji Throat", but he didn't know what kind of results he had caused.
Now the question arises.
If Ji Throat makes a comeback tonight and falls asleep on the fourth watch, whether he can regain his sanity at a critical moment like last night, and if he can recover his senses, and whether he can complete the counterattack alone under the shock of that terror and breath, has become the two biggest problems in his heart.
