I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 96 Humbaba

Cui Zuojing's pupils suddenly shrank.

The whole body of the white cat was strangled, twitching and bleeding from its mouth, Dong Zheng remained motionless, as if completely silent.

The red ring snake also "saw" Cui Zuojing, and it provocatively spit out the snake letter at the young man, opened its mouth wide, and pierced Victor's neck with two long, slightly curved fangs and white fangs!

Cui Zuojing clenched the knife even tighter, but he still didn't move, and even took a slight step back.

If it is said that Dong Zheng was really bitten, how could he stand here and see everything in front of him because of the fetters of the blood contract?

This is an illusion.

Cui Zuojing concluded from the first glance that everything was an illusion, but he still didn't know when he fell into it, and through what medium he was recruited.

After taking a last look at Dong Zheng and Victor, he turned around and ran quickly to the place where he found something was wrong, and without thinking, he slashed across the thick cedar trunk!

"Ow—!"

The scream came from inside the cedar, Cui Zuojing used the power of the killer, and the knife he slashed with all his strength only cut a small hole in the bark, the knife was stuck in the bark, and bright red blood flowed out.

His eyes suddenly blurred, and at the same time severe pain appeared on his face.

Cui Zuojing gritted his teeth and gasped. He pulled out the Tang Saber with his backhand, strode forward, and slashed at the beast that was about to flee in a hurry!

This knife cut on the tail of the beast, and half of the severed tail with the snake's head fell to the ground, swaying blood. The beast looked back at Cui Zuojing with hatred in his eyes, and ran away in a hurry.

It had the face of a lion, with entrails coiled across its forehead.

Cui Zuojing didn't go after him, and the prisoner feeling with Dong Zheng finally reappeared. Dong Zheng was hugging the crazy Allen, preventing him from beating Lin Hangzhi who was standing under a tree with a dazed face. .

Alan's elbow hit his face while struggling, and Dong Zheng's handsome face immediately turned blue, and the pain was faithfully fed back to Cui Zuojing.

Cui Zuojing drove away the beast, and everyone woke up one after another from the illusion created by it.When the monster in front of him turned into a dazed Lin Hang, Alan froze for a moment, looked down at his hands, there was no blood on them.

It dawned on him.

Then he turned his head and saw Dong Zheng who was accidentally injured by himself.

Allen: "……………………"

Dong Zheng rubbed his face and waved to him to indicate that it was okay. When he was ten meters away from the cedar, he felt a vague data fluctuation attacking the kernel firewall. He stopped and called Cui Zuojing, who was still walking forward, but confiscated it. to the boy's response.

That's when he knew everyone else had been tricked.

Every day before going to bed, Dong Zheng would lie in bed and meditate, trying to find some way to exercise the core, at least to ensure the firmness of the firewall.

Day after day of uninterrupted intensive training, coupled with the struggle with Fu Zhe, a powerful brain developer, he made progress far faster than he imagined.

Lin Hangzhi couldn't recover for a long time, and he went back to the afternoon when everyone accused him of leaving the gauze in the patient's stomach, facing the serious dean, staring at everyone's indifferent eyes, and was so anxious that he was about to cry .

"It's really not me." He turned his head and murmured, not knowing who he was explaining to.

Dong Linhai had the least mood swings among all of them. After getting out of the illusion, he looked around and saw that Wang Que was about to collapse, so he hurried over to pull her up.

"What is that?" Dong Zheng asked.

The snake head at the end of the broken tail was spitting out the snake letter in the final dying struggle. Cui Zuojing picked up the broken tail and looked at it, and said: "It should be Humbaba, a giant monster that has existed since ancient times in Sumerian legends. , was raised by the sun god Wutu, and became the guardian of the cedar forest, the residence of the gods, with the ability to make people fall into fear."

After that, he walked to the cedar, and the wound on the tree was no longer bleeding. Cui Zuojing curiously stretched out his hand to buckle, wondering what kind of hard thing could block his blow.

He put his hand into the gap, but came across something very flexible.

"Huh?" Cui Zuojing looked up at Dong Zheng and said, "There seems to be something inside."

Alan and the others also came over, and Cui Zuojing squatted down and squinted one eye to look in, and found that the trunk of the cedar seemed to be hollow.

Immediately, he swung his knife and cut at the opening, making it bigger until it could fit a hand.

Cui Zuojing took out what was hidden in the tree trunk, which was a thin book made of parchment.

On the cover of the book was a picture of an eagle with its head up and its wings fluttering. He opened the first page and wrote some words in English intermittently.

【Those who open the bottle rashly will eventually feed their desires with their souls】

There are many ancient English words in the book. As the only native English speaker present, Allen is responsible for explaining the contents.

"Probably speaking, King Solomon, the third king of the Kingdom of Judea, had a ring engraved with a contract with 72 demon gods. Before his death, in order to prevent the ring from being obtained by wicked people, he summoned demons to destroy the kingdom. He specially found a place to put Ring stash.

"But with the passage of thousands of years, the seal on the ring gradually loosened, and the demon gods may break through the seal and come to the world again at any time.

"Over the years, the evil power they have leaked out of the seal has condensed into a demon seed, which was bred on this island. When the demon seed hatches and a new demon god arrives, it is when the seal is broken, and the entire land will be devastated.

"And what the pilgrims have to do is to find the demon seed before it hatches, destroy it, and postpone the day when the demon will come to the world."

Unlike Chinese characters that have been passed down very well, the English in ancient times is a bit different from the present. Even Alan has many unfamiliar words, so he can only guess at random.

"Wait, there is another page behind."

"... About 400 years ago, the British fleet came here. At that time, a demon seed was already being conceived. They discovered the secret of this island, destroyed that demon seed, and left information and detailed information. method, I hope that when another demon seed is produced over time, the younger generations can also destroy it."

"What's the specific method?" Lin Hai asked.

Allen: "They left four books scattered on the island, corresponding to the four directions of east, west, north and south. We need to collect the things in the books. After collecting all the things, go to the temple on the top of the island in the center of the island. The treasure under it will destroy the demon seed."

"The creatures on this island are all spawned by demon energy, which is extremely dangerous. No, he also told you to pay attention to safety at the end."

The previous text ends here, and the following are some illustrated books, all kinds of strange creatures are simply beyond imagination.

Dong Zheng flipped through a few pages and almost understood: "Do you want to collect body parts of the creatures on the island?"

"Look, here is Humbaba's tail." Cui Zuojing pointed to the snake-shaped tail specially circled from the huge monster on a certain page, and said.

Dong Linhai was a little happy: "So we have completed a task."

Dong Zheng: "We still have to meet up with other people. If there is no accident, the remaining three classics should be in their hands. There may be some news that is not mentioned in this book."

Allen nodded, and handed over the classics to Dong Zheng for safekeeping.

At this moment, the sound of the lush branches and leaves being plucked came from the top of the head, as if something was falling straight.

The crowd raised their heads.

However, before they could see clearly, they felt a gust of wind blowing so hard that they couldn't even open their eyes!

Dong Zheng put his arm in front of him to block it slightly. He managed to open his eyes a little, and saw a big white bird with a wingspan of more than three meters swooping in. Two tawny sharp claws came from the The long hair sticks out, and it's about to grab Cui Zuojing's collar!

The moment he sensed the crisis, the boy rolled on the spot and tried to avoid it, but the giant bird turned around with a nimble body that didn't fit its size at all, and still grabbed the boy's shoulders.

The hook-like sharp claws immediately poked a few bloody holes in Cui Zuojing's shoulder.

It fluttered its wings fiercely, and the whole bird drew a smooth arc against the ground, then suddenly raised its height, passed through the forest tops, and carried Cui Zuojing to the sky!

It happened so fast that no one had time to react, Dong Zheng jumped up and stretched out his hand recklessly, his fingers could barely brush Cui Zuojing's trousers.

In the blink of an eye, the boy's figure was taken away.

"Cui Er!"

"Brother Cui!"

His teammates shouted in panic from below, and the sharp curved claws grabbed his shoulder and almost pierced him. Cui Zuojing was so painful that his eyes turned black, and the high-speed flying wind blew on his face. He burst into tears.

Unintentionally or intentionally, the place where the big bird grabbed was at his joints, making Cui Zuojing unable to lift his arms for a while, and even with a knife in his hand, he couldn't resist at all!

Soon, he discovered a more difficult thing.

This bird is like a fighter jet performing stunts, constantly rolling up and down, left and right, back and forth!

As if trying to throw something out.

It flew so fast that Cui Zuojing was violently thrown in the air, the wound on his shoulder continued to be torn wider, blood flew out drop by drop, and fell into the woods below.

Cui Zuojing was about to die of pain, he turned his head and bit the bird's leg as hard as he could, and let out a hoarse cry from between his teeth:

"Dong Zheng!!!"

The wind brought the young man's call to the man's ears, and he immediately drew a symbol with his hesitating fingers in the air, and the small grass emblem on the back of his hand flashed, directly summoning Cui Zuojing back to the prisoner's space!

Except for the boy and his clothes, nothing from the outside world could be brought into the prisoner's space, so the big white bird's claws emptied, and the wooden box and Tang knife that Cui Zuojing had put in his pocket fell from midair. .

"howl--!"

The big bird let out a long cry, swooped its wings and swooped down nimbly, grabbed the palm-sized wooden box, and flew away with its spoils.

Tang Dao fell into the forest and broke many branches and leaves.

Cui Zuojing rolled in pain on the ground of the prisoner's space, Dong Zheng immediately called him out again, put the heart-sewing bear beside the young man, and tore off Cui Zuojing's shirt.

Blood flowed on his fairer skin than many boys, and the wound was shocking.

The little bear immediately spit out pieces of cloth and needlework from his mouth, and healed Cui Zuojing's wound.

Leaning in Dong Zheng's arms, the young man groaned in pain, while staring at the sky above his head with quite hateful eyes, wishing to catch the bird alive and eat it raw.
