Chapter 386 Opening the Royal Tomb
Fifty miles. This distance is not too far, but it is definitely not close.
If you walk at the speed of a mortal, it will take at least ten hours to arrive.
If you take a steam train, it will only take an hour to arrive.
If you ride a horse, even the best racehorse will need to run at full speed for at least an hour and a half to complete this distance, and it is very likely that it will foam at the mouth and twitch and fall to the ground halfway.
But this fifty-mile distance seems a bit sparse and ordinary in front of the most powerful ancient lion weapon in the awake world today.
Dai Qisi moved her limbs with all her strength, and she could fly hundreds of yards with just one leap. The terrifying speed can almost tear the barrier of sound.
From the time the ancient lion took the first step in the British military camp in Shiraz to the time she waved her front paws to tear the solid shell that was shot at her - the whole journey took a total of 343 seconds.
At the 343rd second, the fiery sharp power attached to the claw blade of Dai Qi Si had already torn the equally fiery red solid shells and attacked the lobster-like soldiers who were hastily lined up in front.
Six British soldiers looked at the terrifying scarlet flames charging towards the temporary position, and tremblingly pulled the trigger, before the muzzle could spew out gray smoke.
The next moment, four red hot blade lights passed by, and the six people's flesh had been cut into five similar pieces in the flying blade lights.
Broken heads, severed arms, split torsos, uneven pelvises and broken legs.
The cross-section of the broken corpses was even more blackened like charcoal roasting, and even blood had no chance to gush out.
The shattered head rolled and fell to the ground. Before it could react to death, its two eyeballs rolled around and looked in all directions, but it could only see countless pieces of flesh and limbs falling in front of it.
It was as if a real bloody storm suddenly fell on the wasteland tonight, and broken limbs and flesh fell in torrents.
The power of casting and blade burst out from the tip of the bronze lion claws, and sharp blades like condensed flames attacked in all directions. Each flaming blade could tear apart several soldiers who were fleeing in panic. Under the night sky, only countless twisted arcs of fire could be seen in the endless wasteland. The arcs of flames intertwined with each other, as if the flowers of death and fear were blooming beautifully.
The wasteland was even more resounding with the fierce thunderous sound of war drums.
Every drum roar seemed to make the sky and the earth tremble.
The sound of the war drums was mixed with the accompaniment of flesh and bone tearing and wailing and screaming.
This is the terrifying sound of the engine of war rumbling!
In just seven seconds, this army of more than a hundred people was completely defeated, and the 20-pound field artillery that was highly expected was not effective at all. The solid projectiles were torn into dozens of pieces of broken iron before hitting the burning monster.
Dai Qisi swung out the blazing claw blade again, and the blazing arc of flames flew across a distance of dozens of yards in an instant, cutting another terrified and cowardly deserter into five pieces.
She looked at the backs of the remaining soldiers who were still fleeing madly thinking they had escaped, and the corners of the lion's mouth raised a playful arc.
"Hehe, weak bug, run away desperately."
"Killing is a fun thing worth pondering carefully, especially when you think you have seen hope for life, and then you are given inevitable death... The desperate expression of mortals is the most interesting!"
"Try to run away, do your best to survive, let me feel the long-lost fun of hunting."
The ancient lion extinguished the blazing flames that were enough to melt the sand and stones around it, and the darkness of the night swept back, capturing this wasteland in a shadow where it was difficult to see ten fingers.
The lion with restrained flames seemed to blend directly into the night, and the heavy meat pads stepped on the gravel silently, and only the cold wind could be heard whistling around.
Only the slight sound of flesh cutting from time to time reminded the fleeing soldiers that the terrible burning monster had not left yet!
It has lurked in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to move, waiting to appreciate our despair before death!
But the remaining soldiers were no longer rookies on the battlefield. They had experienced several wars and their wills were as strong as steel. They would never collapse or lose control.
Even though they were being hunted and played by such terrible monsters, they could still calm down and think about how to escape.
The first soldier calmed down for a while, looked around and confirmed that he could only hear the whistling sound of ghosts and wolves. He decided to slowly step back on his footprints, and then found a soft sand pile and hid in the sand with a thin tube in his mouth.
This was not the first time he had hidden in the sand in his life. As a child of God who grew up in the desert, hiding in the sand was his unique skill. He had used this method to avoid being tracked by jackals and enemy troops.
"I think this method will definitely help me escape the pursuit of that terrible monster." The soldier thought confidently, then closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing and heartbeat. He imagined himself turning into a pool of sand without any signs of life, blending in perfect harmony with nature. Even the lizards in the desert could not find that their nests had been occupied by this strange visitor. They shook their heads in confusion on the sand, looking for the entrance to their own nests.
Then an extremely heavy and extremely light terrifying giant beast quietly stepped on the slightly raised sand. The mountain-like body stepped on the soft sand but made no sound at all, as if the giant beast standing on the sand was just A shadow that remains from thousands of years ago.
The soldiers hiding in the sand secretly counted the numbers in their hearts, one, two, three, four... four hundred and thirty-two, five hundred and sixty-eight, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, three thousand five hundred and ninety-nine, three. One thousand six hundred.
"It's been a full hour, and I haven't heard any movement outside. Has the monster gone to hunt other people?"
"Although I am a little embarrassed, I am sorry that brothers, your sacrifice is valuable and has attracted enough attention for me... Thank you for your sacrifice. I will definitely come back to pay homage to you when I have time next year. of!"
The soldier in the sand murmured in his heart, but he continued to hide quietly for three hours, until dawn was approaching.
"According to the time, it should be almost dawn now, right?"
"Assuming that the terrifying monster is still wandering outside, then the darkness before dawn is the most suitable time for me to escape... Otherwise, after the sun rises, there will be no place to hide in the desert."
"And after hiding in this cold sand for half a night, my body and mind are almost reaching their limit."
"If I continue to lurk, when the blazing sunlight shines down during the day, the sand will gradually become hot. Having just experienced the extreme cold, I will be tortured by extreme heat again. I will definitely contract the cold and become unconscious after the sudden cold and heat. Qing... When the time comes, it will be even harder for me to hide in the sand with both my mental and physical conditions in poor condition, and I will definitely not be able to maintain my current peaceful state."
"No, we have to get out of the sand... Even if we don't leave here directly, at least let me take out the water bag in my arms and take a sip to replenish water. Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to withstand the scorching heat of the desert during the day."
The soldier thought this, and slowly stood up from the gravel. His movements were subtle and cautious. First he raised his head slightly, causing the sand pile above to bulge slightly. Then he waited patiently again, waiting. There was no other movement from the outside world before continuing with the next action.
First, his head was pulled away from the beach, and his frost-white skin finally came into contact with the free air again. Every pore was breathing freely, and then he opened his eyes.
There was only a gray and dim wasteland in front of him. The sky and the earth were covered with the darkest gray color before dawn. It looked completely lifeless, as if this wasteland was just the corpse of some ancient and huge monster.
Phew - the soldier carefully exhaled a breath of turbid air, gently and slowly pulled out his upper body from the sand pile, took out the water bag that he must carry when traveling, put it in his mouth, raised his neck and sipped it lightly, even holding it in his mouth. Take a small sip and wait for the water to slowly dissipate to relieve thirst.
The cool and moist liquid flowed into the dry throat, and the cold feeling spread from the esophagus to the whole body, making the stiff body tremble slightly.
But this is what life feels like! Only when you are alive can you experience cold and warmth, only when you are alive can you feel the hot and sour, salty and sweet... As long as you are alive, there is hope.
The soldier didn't really feel relieved until this moment. He exhaled a long breath, and seemed to expel all the fear and anxiety mixed with last night out of his body in this breath.
He slowly put down the water bag and sighed happily:
"Finally alive again——"
The soldier's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw a pair of giant eyes as bright as lanterns suddenly appeared in front of him!
The pair of shining golden eyes were not only as bright as a lantern, but also as large as a lantern, as if they were a pair of sparkling bronze mirrors, clearly reflecting his frightened and stunned face.
The terrifying lion head, as huge as a steam locomotive, gave a creepy and sinister smile to the soldier whose body was half buried in the sand.
"Hehe, finally you showed up, cute little mouse!"
The last impression of the soldier hiding in the sand is that the bloody maw of the hell-like dark abyss is gradually enlarging, as if he can see other comrades hiding in the deep stomach of the opponent waving to him... How can you be the only one? If you survive, you might as well go to hell with us.
Dai Qisi smashed her mouth, and her barbed tongue scraped off the skull fragments stuck in the gaps between her fangs.
"Sure enough, the brains with extreme fear are the most delicious."
"Every time I taste the taste that is full of fear and uneasiness, it makes me feel extremely happy... almost comparable to the taste of the meat feast that year."
"But compared to Cup Man's unscrupulous appetite, I still prefer the pleasure of eating after hunting and torture."
"What fun is there in having meat delivered to your doorstep? Of course, flesh and blood that has been tempered by struggle and struggle are the most chewy!"
Dai Qisi burped and spat out several dented skulls that were left in her stomach. She was about to hunt the last prey left behind, the mortal who was obviously the leader of this army.
"I deliberately left you until the end, hoping that your cry for help and help would spark enough interesting resistance."
"Let me see who wins and loses between the eternal fire that once lit up most of the waking world and the impeccable fire that the general gave us!"
The ancient lion twitched its nose lightly and had already detected the scent of the fleeing sergeant on horseback. It turned its head to look in the direction of the rising dawn, and was about to step on the ground and jump into flight.
But before she stepped on the ground, her keen eyes noticed that the first ray of dawn did not splash on the ground according to the laws of nature, but seemed to be attracted by some incredible force. Flooding everywhere!
The morning light that should be shining on the earth is actually rushing to a certain mountain peak at this moment, as if a vortex of absorbing light is forming on the top of that mountain peak, and all the light and heat of dawn are being sucked into this impossible invisible vortex!
And that mountain peak is the Shanxin Mountain that the ancient lion Dai Qisi is most familiar with and hates the most!
"It's that moth!"
"It actually stole the secret of the entrance to the royal tomb?!"
"Did you take the opportunity to steal it from my mind when you were giving up the general's prohibition for me?"
"It's such an obvious fact, but I didn't think about it until now?!"
"The Oblivion of the Moth is such a despicable and dirty force!!!"
"Arrogant moth, you will pay the price for your greed and arrogance!!!"
Blazing heat spurted out from every pore of the bronze skin, and the furious ancient lion in the turbid white smoke soared into the sky, rushing straight towards the Good Heart Mountain forty miles away like a blazing cannonball.
………………
The top of the mountain of kindness.
The female dancer is whispering the secret word of activation told by Mr. Watson. The enlightenment in her soul body is vibrating at an unprecedented speed and high frequency. She can already clearly sense the shadowless shadow hidden in the sky between reality and illusion. portal.
When she began to urge Qi Xiang to recite the corresponding incantation, the ceremony to open the entrance to the Tomb of the Shadowless Kings had lost control and started running on its own.
The power of opening and dismantling filled the mountain top, and the broken gravel had already collapsed and disintegrated in this violent force.
Even Mary Morstan, the caster standing in the center of the whirlpool of the Secret of Apocalypse, could not control herself.
The fair and smooth skin has been cracked inch by inch, and the dull texture underneath cannot help but bloom. The gaps between the textures are constantly expanding, until the bones hidden under the flesh and blood are exposed.
It was clearly visible in the self-destructed chest that the heart was beating hard, and the pumping blood was about to burst the struggling blood vessels.
But at this time, the terrifying drums of war have already sounded in the wilderness, and the most powerful lion weapon in the waking world is about to arrive!
The bruised female dancer screamed with all her strength: "Three minutes! I still need three minutes!"
"knew."
Watson looked at the flaming lion shadow running in the distance, took out a heavy and huge heavy firearm from the box, and said calmly:
"I will buy you enough time."
