Judgment Day [Unlimited]

But Lu Fen was still wiping his knife slowly, and answered his previous question concisely: "I have money."

Items are tradable.

Old Liang: "...Oh."

It's great to be rich.

In order to guard against Boss Hou and the others secretly killing them back, the three of them took Li Tiefeng to another hidden place, and then started on the road again.

"We have already left half a day's journey behind. If Boss Hou and the others take the elixir first, we will be in trouble." Xie Xingyin looked a little serious.

Boss Hou and the others almost put their intentions on their faces, making it clear that it is impossible to share rewards with others.

If they are preempted, they will not be able to complete the task.

Lu Fen was not in a hurry:

"Boss Hou and Lan Hui are together, but the bodyguard is obviously not with them. I don't know what his purpose is. Maybe they will have internal strife. Let's just wait and see."

Far from the river and those caves, they walked out of the sphere of influence of the snakes. They didn't see a single snake along the way, and they came to the entrance of a swamp smoothly.

At the edge of the swamp stood a mighty statue of a god, taller and more majestic than any they had ever seen before.

——but the expression was even weirder.The stone statue squinted its eyes and smiled into two crooked curves, making it extremely uncomfortable to watch.

"Why do I feel like this thing is watching us..." Lao Liang shuddered.

"Stop talking nonsense, its eyes are so small." Xie Xingyin said, "It looks like the stone statues outside were built in imitation of this giant god statue."

"Hiss, it's bigger than Laomei's Statue of Liberty!" Lao Liang couldn't help admiring the huge Tintin statue, and even Lu Fen couldn't help squinting at him.

Once in the swamp, the river disappeared without a trace.This proves that they have reached the source of the river - inside the Garden of Eden.

"Why is the grass so tall here, like a telegraph pole!"

The swamp was wet and muddy, shrouded in a white mist.Old Liang exclaimed as he walked, "Look, the mushroom is so big!"

Xie Xingyin looked up, and saw a few blue mushrooms growing in the swamp ahead, emitting a faint blue light.They look unremarkable in appearance, and their size is a bit ridiculous.

Mushrooms that are taller than people seem to be found in fairy tales and fantasies.

Lao Liang had never seen such a big mushroom before, so he couldn't help but go over and poke it: "Fat pigs are better than elephants... can such a big mushroom be eaten?"

Lu Fen glanced at it: "This is a corpse mushroom, which only grows on corpses."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked the root of the mushroom lightly with a knife, hooking a piece of black fabric, which seemed to have some suspicious skeletons inside.

Sure enough, there was a body underneath.

Lao Liang suddenly showed a slightly disgusted expression, Lu Fen seemed to be invisible, and deliberately poked the giant corpse mushroom with a knife, and asked Lao Liang enthusiastically, "Would you like to try it?"

Lao Liang hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, no..."

The smile in the corner of Lu Fen's eyes was still on, and he glanced at Xie Xingyin.Xie Xingyin also trembled when he looked at the mushroom glowing blue, but Lu Fen had already put away the knife obediently.

"It's a bit strange," Lu Fen said, "Why do the corpse mushrooms grow so big here?"

"Have you noticed that the creatures in this swamp are very big?" Lao Liang didn't know what he saw, and pointed to the direction behind Xie Xingyin.

"Look there—"

I saw a fist-sized hole in the mud, and bubbles were bubbling out one after another, as if some creature was breathing.

Three seconds later, the mud shattered, and a beetle the size of a washbasin emerged from the ground.

Watching the big beetle crawl past, Xie Xingyin said in a daze:

"It seems that since we met that huge stone statue, all the creatures we saw in this swamp were abnormally large..."

Not only the grass and mushrooms, but also the size of the beetle has swelled countless times.

Old Liang patted his head: "Could it be that we have become smaller?"

"You read too many fairy tales." Lu Fen ruthlessly exposed him, "It's not that we have become smaller, it's just that the things here have become larger."

Xie Xingyin stared at the thick fog in the swamp, but he didn't know what to think of.

"We're about to find the elixir of life," he said suddenly.

"How to say?" Lao Liang was dazed by his vague words, Xie Xingyin's thoughts were always half a beat faster than his.

"Look, these huge creatures can prove that there are indeed some symbols of substances that break through the limit of life." Xie Xingyin said, pointing to the beetle that was crawling away.

"The size of general organisms is limited, and it is impossible to grow infinitely. For example, we humans, according to the Hayflick limit, human cells will actively die after dividing 56 times to maintain balance."

"Once the somatic cells are out of control and begin to proliferate indefinitely, they become cancer cells. Cancer cells neither age nor die, and can divide forever under suitable conditions."

"This uncontrolled replication will cause the death of the host, but the controllable infinite proliferation means-immortality."

"Perhaps the day when cancer is conquered is the day when mankind finds the key to eternal life." He said.

Death and eternal life are always only one step away.

Lao Liang was stunned when he heard this: "...Is this the principle of the elixir of life? What does it have to do with giant creatures?"

"The massive proliferation of cells will cause the size of the organism to expand." Xie Xingyin explained, "These giant organisms are the evidence that the elixir of life really exists."

"So we are really coming soon." Lao Liang rubbed his hands together, "Then we have to hurry up, don't be rushed by the grandson surnamed Hou...Where are we going next?"

"Wherever the creature is bigger, it will go there." Xie Xingyin said.

"Hey, but wouldn't this be a little dangerous?" Old Liang said.

"It's okay." Lu Fen said suddenly, "No amount of ferocious beast will hunt an ant."

The three of them walked in the direction where the reeds were taller, and soon the reeds in front of them were higher than the flagpoles on the school playground.

What Lu Fen said was true, they were not as big as a bug, and most of the predators in the swamp didn't even bother to pay attention to them.

The fog ahead is getting thicker and thicker than normal.

"boom--"

There was a gunshot without warning in the dense fog, and the three of them were taken aback.

There is no doubt that Boss Hou and the others must have fired.Xie Xingyin became vigilant; "Go and have a look?"

Lu Fen raised his hand to stop them. "Why shoot for no reason."

There must be danger ahead.

A moment later, the woman's scream pierced through the thick fog and hit the eardrums.It's Lanhui.

Xie Xingyin felt the hairs all over his body stand on end - there must be something in the thick fog.

The visibility in the dense fog is extremely low. The further you go, the thinner the mud becomes, and it is easy to sink into it like a quicksand pit.

The three followed that direction vigilantly, but after walking hundreds of meters, they didn't see anyone at all.

Xie Xingyin was walking, when he kicked something suddenly, he looked down and saw that the blood all over his body was flowing backwards!

A severed arm lay on the ground.It was a human arm, as if it had been torn off abruptly by something, and the white bones at the fracture were clearly visible.

The arm showed no signs of decay at all, and the blood stains on it were still fresh.Undoubtedly, it belonged to one of the three Boss Hou.

That hand was stained with a lot of blood and mud, and it was already a little difficult to recognize.

Xie Xingyin suppressed his nausea and squatted down, wanting to see whose arm it was.

Although that arm looked strong, with rough and broad fingers, it was slightly thinner than Boss Hou's fat arm.

Xie Xingyin took a breath and said in a deep voice, "It's that bodyguard."

According to Lu Fen, this bodyguard is not a simple person.What horrible thing had ripped off one of his arms alive?

Judging by the amount of bleeding, the bodyguard is in danger.

Xie Xingyin shook his head and stood up.

Since entering the swamp, they have not encountered any dangerous monsters.

The joy of success in sight almost made them paralyzed.The sudden appearance of a severed hand seemed to have slapped them hard.

The three of them searched around the severed hand, but found no corpse.

The visibility in the swamp was low, and they didn't dare to leave each other too far, so they could only search nearby for a while.

"This way!" There was a string of messy footprints on the ground.

They walked in the direction of the footprints, and soon found two clay figurines.

"Dragon! There are dragons!" It was Boss Hou's voice, shouting the shit out of him as he ran.

Xie Xingyin didn't care about getting dirty anymore, and grabbed him: "What's the matter, where's your bodyguard?"

It was just the two of them, and the bodyguard was gone.

Boss Hou sat down on the ground, clinging to his forearm crazily: "Dragon! Eaten by a dragon!"

"dragon……?"

Xie Xingyin's heart trembled.

For a moment, he didn't know what kind of dragon Boss Hou was talking about.The fire-breathing dragon in Western fantasy is still a Chinese dragon, but there must be some horrible creature hiding in this damn place.

Xie Xingyin didn't know if the bodyguard was really eaten or something, but Boss Hou's fear didn't seem fake.

"How could there be a dragon? It's not like you guys are cheating and giving your own people..." Lao Liang was talking, his voice suddenly froze, and he looked behind Xie Xingyin dully, "Old, old Xie, I It seems to see something passing behind you?"

Before Lao Liang opened his mouth just now, Xie Xingyin felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a dark wind was blowing, and thought it was his own illusion, but Lao Liang also noticed it.

The hairs all over his body stood up, and he hurriedly turned his head to look.

But behind him there was nothing to see but thick fog.Xie Xingyin frowned in doubt, and suddenly, as if realizing something, he slowly raised his head——

On top of their heads, there are a pair of venomous eyes shining with dark green fluorescent light.

"Dragon——! It's really a dragon!!!" Lao Liang yelled, and Boss Hou was so frightened by this thing that he ran back.

Xie Xingyin was dumbfounded, looking at a huge slender black shadow in the thick clouds, hovering above their heads in the shape of a dragon.

"Damn it!" He cursed, and suddenly, with explosive power from nowhere, he pushed Lao Liang to the side and rolled violently——

Almost at the same moment, the "giant dragon" let out a strange, stern sound, opened its stinking bloody mouth towards them, and bit them viciously - the moment it opened its mouth, Xie Xing Yin saw the densely packed sharp teeth in its mouth.

Everyone scrambled and scrambled to dodge the blow, but the snake head missed anyone, and crashed down abruptly, smashing the ground into a big hole.

The moment it poked its head out from the clouds, Lao Liang was paralyzed from fright: "In the Garden of Eden...how could there be a Chinese dragon?!"

"It's not a dragon, it's a snake." Lu Fen rolled over and landed not far away, drew his gun and loaded it, "... Snakes could fly before they left the Garden of Eden."

Compared with it, those artificially raised snakes outside are nothing.The snake in front of him is the native snake in the Garden of Eden, the real "devil".

A huge head protruded from the middle of the clouds, and a pair of glowing green snake eyes stared at them viciously. As soon as the snake spit out a letter, a burst of green smoke spread rapidly.

"Run! It's spewing poisonous mist!!"

The green mist spread quickly, and everyone panicked and fled in all directions.But the running speed of their two legs, this group of little ants, can't compare to that giant snake shuttling through the clouds, seeing that black shadow shrouded their heads——

"I'll lure it away, you go find the tree of life!" Lu Fen stopped suddenly.
