Judgment Day [Unlimited]

Boss Hou's expression and voice were crazy, and he was definitely not joking.

Just now, Boss Hou performed a scene of bitterness. No one else thought that he would change his face as soon as he said it. Lan Hui was dragged by his arm and stood there in a daze.

"Fuck, I'm not embarrassing the girl, but I look down on you, a duplicitous scum like you!" Lao Liang reacted and was the first to scold.

Boss Hou was grabbed by the collar by him and forced to let Lan Hui go.But he still made the last insistence and raised his hands vigorously.

"Be fair! Can you be fair!" He yelled, "Why do I have to go down? How about a fair lottery among the five of us, whoever catches will go down—"

"Drawing lots?" Old Liang interrupted him, "It's a good idea, who wants to draw lots with you?"

Boss Hou was still yelling and said: "I know you want me to throw it in, but I would rather kill you first than make it cheaper for you! It's fair to draw lots if you are a man, and whoever loses will take the initiative to go in. If I lose , I don’t need to bother you guys to do it, I’ll lie in by myself without any complaints!”

Lao Liang didn't know what kind of trick he was using, and was about to refute, but Lu Fen who was at the side unexpectedly agreed: "Okay, don't go back on your word."

Lu Fen's expression was calm, as if what he promised just now was not a life-and-death lottery, but a very trivial matter.

Seeing that he agreed so easily, as if he didn't take it seriously at all, Boss Hou was taken aback for a moment, and then stammered, "Okay, this little brother is more straightforward."

Lu Fen ignored him, and picked up a slender branch from the entrance of the cave, folded it into five pieces of different lengths, and then held these branches in his hand, exposing only a short section of the same length.

"Come on, let's draw lots. Whoever draws the shortest will go into the coffin," he said to the others.

Xie Xingyin and Lao Liang hesitated at first, but seeing Lu Fen's appearance of winning, they still followed suit.

Lao Liang has a mentality of smoking and playing, ready to play tricks at any time.

If he was really unlucky and won the draw, Boss Hou couldn't do anything about him.If Boss Hou himself wins the lottery, he can justifiably ask him to fulfill his promise.

Lu Fen held the branch in his hand, and when the others finished smoking, the last branch left was his.

The other four people took one from his hand one by one. Boss Hou looked left and right, breaking out in a cold sweat—the one he took out of the four was the shortest!

Only Lu Fen's lottery was still in his hand, and Boss Hou immediately stretched his neck to see his lottery.Lu Fen smiled secretly, and then drew the lottery from his hand——

Longer than the other four.

"..." Boss Hou pinched the short stick, the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks, and he swallowed hard.

At this time, the flower of life has shrunk to brown and is about to wither.Everyone present stared at Boss Hou, as if urging him to fulfill his promise quickly.

"No! No!" Lan Hui saw that they were pushing people into a hurry, so she hurried over to stand in front of Boss Hou, trying to protect him. "Absolutely not! Do you want money? He has a lot of money, so he can give it to you! Please don't kill him!"

Lan Hui looked like she was about to cry.At this moment, Boss Hou made a desperate move, and suddenly pushed the unsuspecting Lan Hui into the open coffin from behind like crazy—!

The vines wrapped around her body in an instant, and no one else had time to react. Lan Hui was swallowed by those plant roots before she even had time to scream.

The white rhizome absorbed the nutrients, grew rapidly, and soon wrapped the person inside like a cocoon.

"Why bother, for such a scumbag." Lao Liang murmured.

Xie Xingyin didn't open his eyes, and didn't want to look at it any more.

After a while, the flower of life broke through her body, grew bigger and bigger, and after the petals withered, a bright red fruit formed.

Standing beside the sarcophagus, Boss Hou had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he picked off the fruit of life as soon as he stretched out his hand.The others just watched him swallow the life fruit like crazy!

Old Liang was so angry that he almost drew his knife: "Are you afraid that we will cut you open?"

"I got it, why should I share it with you!" Boss Hou laughed confidently after getting the life fruit.

"The fruit of life belongs to me alone, I am immortal, you all have to die——"

However, before he could be arrogant for a full minute, the expression on his face froze, looking extremely creepy.

A few seconds later, Xie Xingyin saw that there seemed to be a crack on his face.

The cracks extended up and down along the bridge of Boss Hou's nose, and gradually spread, as if his face was divided into two halves with a knife.

The soft skin tissue quickly peeled off, revealing a large piece of red flesh inside.More and more skin fell off. Boss Hou pressed his hands in panic, but it didn't work. The cracks became bigger and bigger.

A few minutes later, his whole body seemed to be cut open, and he came out of his skin directly!

Boss Hou who had peeled off his skin had almost turned into a strip of meat. The most bizarre thing was that his limbs were also missing, and he barely fell down by relying on the sarcophagus.

The scene in front of him was so weird that Xie Xingyin couldn't help but take a few steps back, his pupils dilated.He recalled the pattern of snakes on the coffin lid.

Legend has it that Gilgamesh got the elixir and was eaten by a snake. The snake that ate the elixir became the first snake in the world to shed its skin.

And now, Boss Hou has become the first person in the world to shed his skin.

Boss Hou, who had shed his skin, struggled painfully, and the roots in the sarcophagus fell off, revealing a shriveled corpse beyond recognition.Lan Hui, who was still alive just now, turned into a mummy, and Boss Hou suddenly let out a cry of pain.

He didn't know whether it was blood or tears that flowed down his face, and he didn't know whether he had any regrets in his heart, whether the tears were for himself or for Lan Hui.

Boss Hou wept and looked at the emaciated corpse in the sarcophagus. He didn't know what to say, but he could only utter a few meaningless syllables.

He twisted and wanted to get closer to see something, but he lost his legs and couldn't walk, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell into the sarcophagus. He twitched a few times as he was dying, but he didn't move anymore.

Looking at this scene, Xie Xingyin was silent for a long time. "The snake represents greed."

"What should we do now? The elixir of immortality is gone." Lao Liang said with a sad face. "Could it be that this life fruit cannot be eaten at all? Then how did the legend that you can live forever come from eating it?"

The stone slab of the altar was covered with messy bloodstains, Xie Xingyin stared at the chaos. "...This kind of fruit can't make people live forever, there must be something wrong."

But they operated completely according to the records on the coffin lid, there should be no omissions.Could it be that the elixir of life is a scam from beginning to end?But in that case, what should they use to make a difference?

Xie Xingyin looked at the heavy coffin lid, thought of something, and walked up to the altar again.

He stood in front of the sarcophagus and carefully looked at the four paintings on the lid of the coffin.At the end, Xie Xingyin stared at the molting snake at the end of the picture, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems to be a mistake."

"What did you find?" Old Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly followed to see.

"Look at these people." Xie Xingyin pointed to the first picture, "Look carefully at these priests dancing around the bonfire, are they believers of evil gods we have seen?"

Old Liang squinted his eyes, and immediately came to his senses.

Wearing a ghost mask, holding a spear, dancing around the bonfire... Isn't it the ten mummies they saw on the cliff, believers of evil gods!

"...So the evil god is the devil, and the devil is the snake. The believers believe in the evil god, and naturally they use the method taught by the evil god. By sacrificing living people, they offer the elixir to the poisonous snake, so that it can shed its skin and gain new life. "Xie Xingyin said, "But Boss Hou ate these fruits. Not only can people lose their skin forever, but they will definitely die."

"So it's a hoax, and the elixir of life doesn't exist?" Lao Liang was dumbfounded.

Xie Xingyin also couldn't figure it out.

Before leaving, the wise man gave them a very clear task, asking them to find the elixir of life.The guide said that they would complete the task if they brought the elixir back.

But if the existence of the elixir of life is simply a false proposition, what they have encountered is a deception that must die?

Are there really impossible tasks?Xie Xingyin is not sure now.

If the tower only wants to kill them, why go to so much trouble to set up so many?

Seeing his solemn expression, Lu Fen seemed to see what Xie Xingyin was thinking. "No, the goal of the tower is not to kill us, it is impossible to give us a task that we cannot complete."

Lu Fen knew more about the rules of this world than all of them combined.Hearing what he said, Xie Xingyin calmed down a little.

"Come help me." Xie Xingyin touched the heavy coffin lid and said, "Turn it over and have a look."

The key to the problem is probably still on this sarcophagus.

The three of them worked together to turn over the heavy coffin lid, Xie Xingyin's eyes lit up——

I saw that there was something on the back of the sarcophagus lid.The sacrificial ceremony is still depicted on the back of the coffin lid, but the content is completely different from that on the outside.

In the picture on the inside, there are no living sacrifices, and there are several people lying on the side of the sarcophagus, watering the flower of life with tears.

Eyes are the windows to the soul and tears represent pain.

"...The carvings on the inside and outside of the coffin lid are different, it seems that they are not made by the same person." Xie Xingyin touched the carved stripes, "The outer pattern is most likely carved by the followers of the evil god later, while the inner one This is the original sacrificial ceremony of this sarcophagus, which only requires tears and does not require killing."

No wonder, if you use the wrong method, what you get is not the elixir of life.

Legend has it that there are two kinds of fruits in the Garden of Eden, one is the fruit of good and evil eaten by Adam and Eve, and the other is the fruit of life that makes people immortal.

The flower of life bears not only the fruit of life, but also the fruit of good and evil in a sense.If you use kindness to sacrifice, you will get good results; if you use evil to sacrifice, you will only get bad results.

Good and evil are in one thought.

Xie Xingyin felt a little startled.If Boss Hou hadn't ate the bad fruit by mistake, they might have gone back with the wrong fruit, and they didn't know what would happen to them.

"Now all we need are painful tears." Lao Liang said, rubbing his eyes with his hands.He is not a movie king, and he has been brewing for a long time, and he can't cry just because he can't say it.

"Tears of real pain are needed, and it's so insincere of you to cry like that."

When Xie Xingyin was thinking about how to shed "tears of pain", he suddenly heard Lao Liang yelling:

"No, there is no shortage now. Old Xie, look!"

At this time, Boss Hou, who was beyond recognition, was lying in the sarcophagus, dying.Beside him is Lan Hui who is no longer human.

At the last moment of his life, Boss Hou probably regretted it.Tears of pain mixed with blood dripped into the sarcophagus.

Boss Hou's blood and tears of remorse were thousands of times more painful than the tears they could shed, and they immediately had an effect after dripping into the sarcophagus.

The white rhizome of the Flower of Life grew violently again, even faster than last time. The wildly growing rhizome swallowed the two people in the coffin in an instant, and it swelled up like a grave bag.

The truly painful soul also waters out the real fruit of life.

The flower of life bloomed again, quickly matured in the warm and dazzling golden light, the petals withered, and a fruit was born again.

"Is this the real life fruit?" Lao Liang said, "It doesn't look unusual, it's still so small."

All the creatures here were affected by the elixir and became bigger, except the life fruit in front of them was not affected.Because it is the elixir itself.

Xie Xingyin carefully picked off the life fruit.While it was peeling off, the altar under everyone's feet trembled slightly, as if something had moved.

A stone slab on the side of the altar was slowly opened, revealing a bottomless passage.

Xie Xingyin sighed: "Let's go."

Before leaving, he took one last look at the sarcophagus, in which two people were buried.Originally, they didn't have to die.

"—Wait." Someone said behind him.

Xie Xingyin stopped subconsciously, and then felt a chill down his spine.

He realized that it wasn't any of the three of them who had just spoken.

Turning around, the bodyguard who had been missing for a long time was standing behind them, pointing their guns at them.

Xie Xingyin was a little surprised, this guy was not dead yet, and he broke in to cut off the beard at this time.

The bodyguard didn't know what happened to him just now, his left cuff was empty, and one hand was really broken, and he was holding the gun with the only remaining hand.

Xie Xingyin looked at him coldly, and suddenly remembered something: "Did you kill the night watchman on the first night?"

In terms of skills, only Lu Fen, Li Tiefeng and this professionally trained "bodyguard" can do it.

The bodyguards covered up well along the way. He had a gun in his hand. He could have easily killed the night watchman, but he didn't.

Just killing someone with a blunt weapon made everyone suspicious, and Xie Xingyin couldn't be sure who did it at first.After the death on the first night, the bodyguards knew that everyone was on guard, so they didn't act rashly anymore, and let the short man take the blame.

Sure enough, the bodyguard did not deny it.Holding his cold muzzle, he said expressionlessly, "Give me the elixir of life. Three, two..."

Boss Hou is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is a soft-footed shrimp at heart, but this bodyguard is really a murderous character.Just when Xie Xingyin didn't know what to do, Lu Fen beside him suddenly said, "Okay, here you are."

As he said that, Lu Fen took out the fruit from his pocket, took it in his hand and threw it twice, before the bodyguard came to pick it up, he suddenly raised his hand and threw the life fruit straight out of the tree hole above his head!

This was at an altitude of hundreds of meters, and the fruit of life would definitely be smashed to pieces when it fell on the ground.

Seeing this, the bodyguard immediately chased after him, nimbly climbed up the wall, turned over and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother, you go first." Lu Fen said, and immediately chased after him.

Lao Liang looked up and watched the two people disappear into the cave, and was anxious: "Hey, you little bastard. Can life fruits be thrown around casually?"

But Xie Xingyin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, only to see the fruit of life lying in his hands.

"The one thrown by Lu Fen is fake, it seems to be the fruit that was brought at the banquet."

Xie Xingyin and the others couldn't climb up the tree hole, so they could only walk through the passageway of the altar.

The two walked all the way down the passage of the altar. After walking for an unknown period of time, the direction of the passage changed from vertical to horizontal, and finally came to the exit.

It turned out that the exit was on the back of the giant statue outside the swamp.

"Let's go to Li Tiefeng first." Xie Xingyin said, "Only the three of us know where Li Tiefeng is. After Lu Fen gets rid of his bodyguards, he will definitely come here."

They walked outside for a while, and they found Li Tiefeng under the tree.Li Tiefeng's feet were almost healed, and the three of them walked out of the death zone together, leaving the sphere of influence of the snakes.

When passing by the tree full of skeletons, Xie Xingyin found several new corpses on it.

The body of the novice who was dragged away by the snake is already hanging here.

"Thank you for watching!" Lao Liang suddenly shouted when he saw it.Xie Xingyin looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the bodyguard at a glance.

Xie Xingyin only felt his heart tighten.The bodyguard is already dead!Didn't Lu Fen chase after him, so where is Lu Fen now?

Xie Xingyin carefully checked around these trees, for fear that he would see Lu Fen hanged here as soon as he looked up.

Fortunately not.

The three of them continued to move forward and waited on the side of the sky steps.Not long after, Lu Fen came after him, and he seemed to be in good condition.

Xie Xingyin heaved a sigh of relief, and the four of them climbed up the steps together, and finally returned to the guide before sunset.
