Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

The whole valley is not very big, but the rock walls inside are densely covered with a large number of caves.

The strong man with horns on his head groped carefully in the dark and led Xiao Jian to the deep roots.

It was not until then that Xiao Jian discovered a problem - compared with the body structure of Hopper and others, the strong man in front of him was obviously not suitable for survival in the dark.

In other words, his body structure has not yet undergone any biased evolution that is more conducive to survival in the dark.

Hopper and his group of chimpanzees not only have long hands, but also have a lot of long, probe-like "cat whiskers" on their hands, which allows Hopper and others to explore a wider range of darkness.

Obviously, those whisker-like "probes" are the targeted evolution of their bodies for dark environments.

Just like a plant that originally had a low plant, when it is placed in a dark and sparsely lit place, it will continue to stretch its branches and leaves, and even become thin and long to get as much sunlight as possible.

But most of the one-horned strongman and other creatures Xiao Jian saw on the Holy Maiden Peak did not show such evolution.

Especially the strongman with a fish head and deer horns, who seemed to be very suitable for living in the water... However, until now, Xiao Jian had not heard of any large lakes in the Black Stone Mountains.

While Xiao Jian was thinking, the strong man with long horns in front of him suddenly stopped.

When Xiao Jian looked up, he found that the valley had a turn here, and the number of caves on the rock wall was greatly reduced.

"The place of the gods' resting place is ahead..." The strong man with long horns hesitated, "... The court of trial is set up below."

"Are you afraid?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Yes, we are generally not allowed to approach." The strong man nodded.

"..."

Xiao Jian said nothing, just passed him and continued along the road...

After turning a corner and bypassing the protruding rock wall, the front suddenly opened up.

Large tracts of lush flowers, plants and trees grew in the secret realm of this valley.

But... all the plants are white.

White flowers, white grass, white trees... there is even a winding stream covered with countless white fine sand! !

Under the tallest white banyan tree, there is a bird's nest made of various white "branches".

Obviously, this should be the nest of the god Aba.

Next to this grass nest, there is a pure white pavilion, which is full of people.

At first glance, this place really seems like a paradise on earth.

In the endless darkness, in the Black Stone Mountains where no grass grows, there is such a beautiful and vibrant place, which is really impressive.

But if you look more carefully, you will feel chilling...

Because everything is made of bones!

Bone flowers, bone grass, bone trees and bone grass nests... Even the sand and stones in the "stream" are paved with crushed and polished bones! !

Look at the grass nest again... the pavilion next to the bone nest.

The people sitting in it are motionless like mummies.

Their bodies had been folded several times like paper, not only their postures became extremely abstract, but several of them even lost their human form.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, their faces twisted as if they were crying and wailing.

But they could no longer make any sound.

Yes, everyone was dead.

This should be the so-called court of inquiry, but as previously speculated, everyone was dead and had lost vital signs.

They became as hard as stone, silently freezing in the last moment of their lives.

Obviously, the god had gone berserk a long time ago, and the court of inquiry closest to him was the first to bear the brunt.

Xiao Jian silently looked at the wonder in front of him, and suddenly knew where the bone products in the cave of the half-human-high little girl went.

It turned out that they really had no attributes, but were just beautiful and terrifying decorations.

Judging from the layout of the entire secret realm, the god had tried his best to restore his previous living environment.

Unfortunately, there are no plants that can survive in the Black Stone Mountains...

So, He can only use more terrifying, but also cheaper and more easily available white bone products to try to restore the beauty in his memory that he could no longer grasp.

"Sad..."

Although Xiao Jian did not know the god Aba, after seeing this carefully decorated secret realm, he suddenly understood the sadness of these "gods" living in the Black Stone Mountains.

Falling into endless darkness, constantly tortured by corrosion, until the end, he could not escape the ending of falling into madness.

Only relying on the few things that can be grasped, trying to recall the past.

Just like in the flames of war, a little girl whose family was broken up tried to use bullet shells to piece together the doll that her father bought for her, but had long been burned by the war.

It has to be said that the gods who fell into the Black Stone Mountains are really miserable.

However, those ordinary people who were nailed to the rock wall by the gods and whose bones were pulled out to make flowers are even more miserable...

...How many lives were consumed to create these bones that covered the entire secret realm! ?

It is already difficult to survive in such a harsh environment, and yet so many of them were hunted... Could it be that all the people in the Black Rock Mountains fell from the sky?

Hey, don't say it, don't say it... It's not impossible!

Xiao Jian raised his head and looked at the sky.

There was nothing there, only endless darkness that even [Break the Wandering] couldn't see through.

Just like the darkness that Xiao Jian had seen several times before, hidden behind the sky curtain after it was broken.

"..."

"Master Flame Eye... Master Flame Eye?"

Xiao Jian retracted his gaze from the sky and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

He saw the horned man trembling at the entrance of the secret realm, calling out to this side in a very small voice.

He looked so cautious, as if there were still some monstrous beasts living in this secret realm.

Obviously, the horror in this valley secret realm has been deeply engraved in his heart. Even though he knew that the god was dead, he was still afraid instinctively.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Jian returned to the entrance of the secret realm, and after seeing the flames in Xiao Jian's eyes, the horned man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, I found a survivor... She may know about the old liar." The strong man whispered.

"Oh? Where?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Here... Sorry, she is not convenient to move... I can't move her, so can you?"

The strong man asked tentatively.

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

The strong man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and groped his way back.

The place where the survivor lived was in the sparse caves that Xiao Jian had passed before.

This was where the Tribunal and their families used to live.

And now, there is only one survivor left here.

The strong man told Xiao Jian about the survivor's origin while leading the way, and he closed his mouth when he took Xiao Jian to a huge cave.

"... Grandma? Grandma Jasmine? Are you still there?"

The strong man asked carefully.

"I'm here, kid, I've always been here..."

A kind voice came from the end of the darkness.

But after hearing this voice, the strong man shuddered and instinctively wanted to shrink back.

"Come on, come on my child, let me take a good look at you... Let me see your face, your heart, your plump small intestine and large intestine... Come on, come on my child, let me see you..."

"Woo..."

The strong man suddenly covered his ears and used all his strength to control himself. Even his knees creaked in the huge wrestling...

Unfortunately, all his efforts could not resist the devilish voice.

He still moved his feet uncontrollably, walking towards the depths of the cave little by little.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes... That's it... One step, two steps, one step, two steps... Come to me, come to me slowly, let me see you, my child, let me see you..."

As Grandma Jasmine's voice sounded again, the strong man suddenly had tears on his face and looked at Xiao Jian with sobs...

"Woo..."

"... It's OK." Xiao Jian patted the strong man's shoulder gently, and he relaxed immediately. The man seemed to be exhausted, and a lot of sweat came out from all over his body.

In fact, it was very simple. It was not that Xiao Jian used any special characteristics, nor did he have any special power... but that he killed a bug, a bug the size of a mosquito:

[Echo Bug]

The host that was bitten could not resist Jasmine's voice.

...

Yes, the series of strange behaviors of the strong man just now were all caused by this [Echo Bug].

As the bug was killed by Xiao Jian, a sharp sound like a knife scraping glass suddenly came from the depths of the cave...

"Ji-zhi-ga-"

"Damn it! Grandma only has a few little cuties like this, and you dare to kill her!!"

"You deserve to die!!"

"Ga-"

In the piercing scream, two more tiny bugs flew out.

Not only are they small in size, but they also make very small sounds like mosquitoes, which makes it impossible to guard against them in this pitch-black darkness.

However...

Xiao Jian has the [Break the Wandering] characteristic, which not only allows him to see through the darkness, but also automatically marks monsters with 1 star or above in the darkness.

Therefore, when these two little bugs just flew out, Xiao Jian saw their properties, just like Xiao Jian saw the "mosquito" on the shoulder of the strong man before.

"Puff..."

Xiao Jian flicked his fingers, and two flying feathers fell off from the void behind him and flew straight towards the two little bugs.

-

1-

1

The two flying feathers accurately hit the slow-flying "mosquitoes" and then disappeared into the air.

And this time, the cave was very quiet, as if the thing screaming deep in the cave had disappeared.

Xiao Jian took a step forward and came to the corner after a few steps. Then he saw a huge maggot that supported the entire cave and was wriggling to escape.

Unfortunately, only the upper half of its body remained moist, and the lower half had already dried up...

Just like the mummies nailed to the rock wall outside.

Just like the abstract folded members of the Tribunal in the white bone pavilion.

Obviously, this is also one of the masterpieces of the god Aba.

"Are you Jasmine?" Xiao Jian looked at the big bug and asked in a rather strange way.

"..."

The big bug suddenly stopped wriggling, and stayed quietly in the same place, motionless.

After two full minutes, it tried to wriggle again at an extremely slow speed...

Unfortunately, its walking mechanism is mostly in the lower body that has become a mummy. The only two remaining parts of the upper body... I don't know whether they should be called feet, hands or arms. In short, it can only use these two meat protrusions with four fingers to drag its huge body slowly forward.

"Moli, what are you doing? Do you want to escape?" Xiao Jian came over and observed its strangely shaped... walking mechanism.

Xiao Jian found it difficult to describe what this thing is called... tarsus? Pseudopod? Hand? Foot?

No matter which statement seems to be not vivid enough, even the term "walking mechanism" seems to be unable to accurately describe these two meat protrusions with four fingers.

In short, considering its appearance as a fleshy worm, let's temporarily name it "pseudopod".

It seems that the feet of fleshy worms are called this name?

"..."

Just as Xiao Jian named its body parts, the huge fleshworm, who called herself Jasmine Grandma, became motionless again, as if she could escape Xiao Jian's sight by pretending to be dead.

"..."

Xiao Jian looked around, picked up a bone stick more than one meter long with his invisible hand as a stick, and poked the big fleshworm from a distance.

"..."

Jasmine Grandma moved slightly, and shrank back into the cave more vigorously.

"Still pretending to be dead?"

Xiao Jian poked it hard with the bone stick again, and the big fleshworm suddenly shrank back in pain, and then cried out "wow"!

"Woo... Don't eat me!"

"I'm not delicious! My body has no nutrition, it's all smelly, and I'll get a stomachache if you eat me..."

"Wow..."

Jasmine Grandma cried loudly, as loud as a newborn baby...

After Xiao Jian, the strong man with horns on his head finally recovered, sneaked over, and peeked in from behind.

"What's going on with it?" Xiao Jian pulled the strong man over.

"I... I don't know. I only know that it's called Jasmine Grandma, and it's a relative of a judge... right?"

The strong man was also a little confused.

"Of course, these are all what I heard... People like us are not qualified and dare not come to such places."

Indeed, although this Jasmine Grandma looks weak, her attributes actually surpass most 3-star monsters.

If you count the means of controlling people with [Yes-Mite], it is already a 4-star monster.

When facing ordinary people like the strong man, it can already play half a god.

"I won't eat you, I just want to ask you a few questions... Calm down first."

Xiao Jian said helplessly.

"Really? Do you swear?"

Jasmine Grandma stopped crying immediately.

"..."
