Chapter 329: The Sword Sect’s “Dung Beetle”?
The red fog was very thick, but the archway was very eye-catching.
It is carved entirely from a single piece of white jade. The bottom few layers of decorative pedestals are covered with a variety of brightly colored patterns. In addition to flowers, birds, insects, and fish, there are also various rare and exotic animals, all outlined with gold lacquer. They are particularly eye-catching amid the rich dark red surroundings.
The top of the archway was completely hidden in the thick fog, and it was impossible to see clearly. I could only vaguely see some words.
Nietzsche's luck took off. He tried his best to find an angle from which he could see all the words on the jade pillar and took a screenshot. After identification, he sent it to the group.
"Ten continents and three islands, a thousand layers of purple air, ten thousand swords of immortality and true magic power. In the sea of Guixu, the golden light changes into nine forms, and the disciples spread the great light."
"The two words at the top are 'Sword Sect'."
The appearance of the archway was also captured in the screenshot. It has five doors and seven eaves. The tiles on the eaves are all golden glazed tiles. The lintels under the eaves are the same as the base, both painted with rich colors in very bright pigments.
There is a plaque hanging in the middle with only two words on it, which are probably what Nietzsche mentioned, "Sword Sect".
"What a magnificent aura! This is what a true immortal cultivation sect looks like!"
Renxinhuadao sighed.
"Indeed, but it seems that this sect has a villainous feel from top to bottom!"
Guan Tangbao nodded. She also felt that this archway alone was far superior to all the immortal sects that everyone had come across in "Records of the Ten Continents" - of course, except for the later Taiyin Sect.
"Keep going, and remember to mark the map!"
Nietzsche said this, and continued walking up the mountain, chasing after Wu Ke, who had already disappeared.
The terrain became more and more complex, and some low shrubs appeared among the rocks. Thankfully, the shrubs were either similar to the previous ferns or vines, all in red, or very pure white.
"Maybe it's because there's no light and photosynthesis can't be carried out, so chlorophyll was eliminated during evolution..."
King Bamboo Grass said casually.
The soup dumpling almost choked on a mouthful of saliva. She coughed twice and complained in shock: "No way, sister, cultivating immortals also requires science!?"
King Bamboo Grass spread his hands and said, "Both rocket launchers and Gatling guns have appeared, which means that this has become a technological cultivation method!"
…
Wu Ke took the lead, flying and jumping in front to clear the way. The further he walked, the more plants he saw.
Although compared to the dense forests of the Ten Thousand Mountains in Central China, the plants here can only be described as pitifully few, but it is much better than the barren surrounding area.
Not long after running, he saw a few trees.
However, these trees are obviously dead, with only dry trunks left. Moreover, they do not look like they have grown naturally, but rather like they have been planted artificially. They are distributed very evenly and the order of arrangement is also very regular.
More importantly, there are obvious signs of human life near these dead trees.
In a large pit made of stones, there was some household garbage, or perhaps some things that had been stored by the survivors. There were broken hoes, plows, rakes, broken pottery, and other miscellaneous items that were too old to be distinguished.
Next to the big pit, there were two complete corpses.
They were tied up with ropes, their heads were completely shattered, and their bodies looked burned, as if they had experienced some horrific experience before death.
Wu Ke marked this place on the map, took a screenshot and sent it to the group, then continued climbing up the mountain.
About ten minutes later, he encountered the first living creature since he went deep into Tiangui Mountain.
It was a beetle, about the size of a fist, with colorful lights reflecting on its hard black shell.
Both the man and the bug were startled when they met. Although Wu Ke was not afraid of the various scary monsters in the game, he still felt scared when facing such a big bug and couldn't help but screaming "Oh shit".
As Wu Ke screamed, the beetle quickly crawled into the crevice of the rock and disappeared.
I don’t know where such a big insect has gone.
Wu Ke thought about it and shouted in the group microphone: "Captain! I found an animal here, a huge insect! The kind with armor! It looks a bit like a dung beetle..."
The soup dumpling groaned and asked in fear, "Huge? How big? Can I get around it?"
Wu Ke replied: "It's as big as a fist anyway! He ran away, I didn't even have time to take a screenshot!"
Guan Tang Bao said hurriedly: "Then you can also mark it on the map, I will go around it later! I am most afraid of insects!"
"OK!"
However, unexpectedly, after this little episode, Wu Ke encountered a group of beetles after walking for about a few minutes.
There were so many of them, at least hundreds or even thousands!
The most terrifying thing was that when these beetles discovered Wu Ke, they all drilled into the cracks in the rocks again, accompanied by his even louder "Fuck!"
In the blink of an eye, a large group of beetles disappeared as if they had never appeared. It was very strange.
Because Wu Ke hadn't turned off his microphone, his "F*ck" was heard by other players in the same team. Wu Ke, who was always brave and reliable, rarely made such a frightened sound, so everyone started asking, "What happened!?"
"There are a bunch of bugs, all as big as what I just described. There are a ton of them! At least hundreds of them! Holy shit! I can't take it anymore, this is too disgusting!"
As Wu Ke spoke, he retched and could not help but fly up into the sky on the wind. He stared at the cracks in the rocks on the ground, trying to see the beetle inside.
"Oh my god, is it too late for me to run away now? I might as well just commit suicide. Help me, I'm really afraid of bugs!" Guan Tangbao was so scared that he trembled and kept shouting in the rice. Seeing that the grass next to him looked indifferent, he asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"
King Bamboo Grass shrugged indifferently and said, "It's okay. I've seen it in the lab before. I've even touched various insects... Oh, by the way, let me tell you a horror story. Many common medicines are made from insects. For example, the famous 'Kangfuxin Liquid' actually has its main ingredient extracted from cockroaches!"
“What the hell!!!”
Guan Tang Bao shuddered again and screamed. She closed her eyes in pain and shouted, "I really drank this medicine before! Ahhh, I'm dirty, I'm not clean, ahhhh!"
Renxinhuadao also spoke up with malicious intent: "Actually, Western medicine is okay, but Chinese medicine is even worse... well... for the sake of your appetite for the next week, I'd better not say anything, hehe!"
As the leader, Nietzsche was easy to talk to: "Baozi, if you are really scared, just commit suicide and go back to the city. Anyway, it seems that you are just opening up the land to unlock the plot, and at most you won't get any rewards or drops!"
The Jade Emperor added: "It will also delay your fortune! I think the various plants and animals here should be quite valuable!"
Guan Tang Bao swallowed hard, "Hiss... I think I can bend over for a little while!"
