67. Poisonous fruit

The distance of the road is not short, at least 100 meters, and at the end of the road is an empty field, and when they approached, the two were dumbfounded, to be exact, they were shocked.

In front of him is a hemispherical large square, at least more than 100 meters in diameter, the highest point is estimated to be no less than fifty or sixty meters from the ground, there are nine holes on the top of the dome, and the light shines down from there, although the whole empty field is not bright, but at least it can see. There are no monsters entrenched in the square, there is a stone altar in the center of the square, which is a little reflective around it, as if there is water, and there is a tree in the middle of the stone altar, which is opposite the largest hole in the middle of the top. The tree is not high, it is only four or five meters away, there are not many leaves on the tree, there are a few fruits hanging, the fruit is not small, under the light, it looks very mysterious, because the light shining in from the nine holes on the top is gathered on the tree, a little "the stars hold the moon" meaning, as if it was specially arranged for it.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them were not only surprised but also surprised, Tan smiled and said uncertainly: "This is ...... Whose tomb is this?"

Ye Shu glanced at Ye Shu and disagreed with her opinion, "As for the tomb, why is there no coffin here?" ”

"You can pull it even more, and return the Immortal Cave Mansion, the immortals are so unsightly, maybe the coffin is under that tree......" Tan Xiao still insisted on his thoughts.

"You've read too many tomb robbery novels, planting trees on coffins, vegetative people, what do you think......

The two of them stiffened for two sentences, neither of them agreed with other people's ideas, and planned to go closer to find out.

Suddenly, Tan Xiao pulled Ye Shu, "Listen, what's the sound?"

This time, without Tan Xiao's reminder, Ye Shu had already heard the sound of a sorrowful rope behind him, turned around, and saw two red lights flashing in the dark hole, and when the red light was almost close, he saw that it was actually the big snake, its two eyes glowing red in the dark, like two light bulbs with shortcomings.

"Why is it still chasing here?" Ye Shu pulled Tan Xiao and ran towards the center of the square.

"Ahh

Which Cheng wanted to just run out of two steps and his feet were empty, both of them fell, it turned out that there was a ditch more than half a meter deep at the entrance of the cave that was about to reach the square, the light here was dim, and he only paid attention to all this in front of him just now, but he forgot to look at his feet, and he fell into this ditch without running two steps, the bottom of the ditch was not flat, low in the middle, high all around, like a large iron pot.

"Oops......"

The two of them fell to the bottom of the ditch, and when they sat up, they saw that the big snake had already arrived, and it was too late to run, so they clenched their fists and planned to fight it to the death again. As a result, the serpent didn't even look at them when he got to the edge of the ditch, and climbed directly over the ditch.

The big snake didn't attack them, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke, Ye Shu found that the big snake's tail was not lightly injured, two or three meters were completely blurred with flesh and blood, crawling all the way, there were blood stains on the ground, no wonder he woke up and found that there was so much blood in the water. Look at the miserable appearance of the big snake, let's think about ourselves and Tan Xiao, we are so lucky, he is not afraid of falling to death all at once, he is afraid of falling half to death, it is really too sinful.

When the big snake crawled over completely, Ye Shu lay on the edge of the ditch and said to himself: "What's the matter? Did this big snake fall and kill or was stung crazy by that swarm of bees, why did it turn a blind eye to us?"

Tan Xiao also lay beside Ye Shu, watched the big snake slowly climb up the stone altar, and climbed the tree again, and said: "That snake is not crazy or stupid, it is estimated that he lost too much blood and changed to a vegetarian diet, it went to the few fruits on the tree." ”

Ye Shu wanted to refute a few words, but before he could say anything, he found that Tan Xiao was right, the big snake was indeed running towards those fruits, it had already climbed the tree, its body coiled on the trunk, and it was stretching its head towards the top fruit.

"Damn, can that tree hold its weight?" Ye Shudu sweated for the tree, it was not easy to grow so tall in this environment, not to mention a few fruits, if it was crushed by this plan, it would be a pity.

Ye Shu was feeling sorry for the tree, and Tan Xiao stabbed him, "What's wrong with the snake?"

Ye Shu retracted his thoughts, only to see that the snake kept rolling on the tree, "plopped", fell from the tree, and then continued on the stone altar and completely "let go", and there was no movement.

"What's wrong with it?" Ye Shu asked puzzled.

"It ate a fruit, and that's it. ”

Ye Shu looked at the tree, and sure enough, the tallest fruit was gone.

"Is that fruit poisonous?"

"Hmm. Tan Xiao nodded vigorously, she had no objection to this, her body began to tremble unconsciously, she could imagine the pain of the big snake just now.

"I'll take a look. Ye Shu got up from the ditch and was about to go over to take a look.

Tan Xiao grabbed Ye Shu, "Don't go over, in case it doesn't die." ”

Ye Shu smiled, "I'm not afraid of it if I die, it's a big deal, just eat me." ”

Tan Xiao didn't stop anymore and got up from the ditch.

"Ahh

Tan Xiao sat down in the ditch again.

"What's wrong?"

"I just fell off and broke my foot. ”

Ye Shu jumped back into the ditch and grabbed Tan Xiao's foot and touched it, "It's okay, I didn't hurt my bones." ”

"It's fine. Tan Xiao struggled to stand up and came up from the ditch under Ye Shu's pull.

"Then you stand on the side for a while, and I'll go over and have a look. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Shu walked towards the stone altar, Tan Xiao watched silently, and his left foot still had a faint pain. Inadvertently, Tan Xiao found that there was a bulge on the ground not far in front of him, and the stone there was more than ten centimeters higher than other places.

"Just go over and sit. ”

Tan Xiao limped to the edge of the bulge, turned around and sat down.

"Ahh

The stone was not secure, and as soon as she sat down, the stone sank and became level with the ground, and she did not sit still, but fell down, and then there was a roar in her ears.

"Boom...... Gollum ......"

I saw that one thing from each of the two came towards him, Tan Xiao wanted to hide, but he didn't seem to obey the call when he was in a hurry, and he didn't have the strength to turn over.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shu, who hadn't walked a few steps, suddenly turned around when he heard the voice, only to see two tall black shadows on both sides of the cave mouth moving towards the cave entrance, and Tan Xiao seemed to be scared stupid, lying motionless on the ground, hurriedly went back, picked up Tan Xiao and ran to the middle of the square.

The two black shadows were still moving towards the entrance of the cave, and they were getting faster and faster, and now Ye Shu could see clearly that the two black shadows were the real face, they were two stone balls more than two meters high, they "gurgled" and rolled to the vicinity of the cave entrance one after the other, and then fell heavily into the ditch where Ye Shu and Tan Xiao fell just now, and the two stone balls "clanged" together, blocking the entrance of the cave tightly.

Ye Shu put down Tan Xiao and came to the entrance of the cave, the stone ball and the entrance of the cave were tightly fitted, "This is specially prepared for this." ”

Tan Xiao limped to Ye Shu's side, "Is this blocked?"

Ye Shu also smiled wryly, "Yes, I'm afraid that the blockage is not strict, and I will find a big stone to knock." It's completely blocked, and no snakes can crawl in. ”

Tan Xiao walked to the position where he was sitting just now, knocked on the ground, and saw if there was any reaction, but the stone and the ground seemed to grow together, and there was no change at all.

"We can't get out either. Tan Xiao sat on the ground, the light was dim, and he couldn't see the sadness and joy in his expression.

Ye Shu smiled, "That's right, there is no one chasing us anymore, and there is no need to be afraid anymore." ”

"That's right, you don't have to run. ”

Both of them are really big-hearted masters, no one came to catch them to "light the sky lantern", and they didn't need to go into anyone's stomach and eventually turn into fertilizer, isn't this the ending they want.

"Let's go see what's going on with the snake. Ye Shu picked up Tan Xiao, and the two walked to the stone altar slowly.

Just now at the entrance of the cave just saw that there is a stone altar here, to the front only to find that the stone altar is not small, more than 30 centimeters high, in an octagonal shape, there is a palm-wide flow of water from the ground stone crack not far away, in the stone altar around a circle, and then on the other side of the flow to the ground, it seems that there should be an underground river nearby. The water was very shallow, but very clear, Ye Shu took a sip with his hand, it was very cold and sweet.

Seeing Ye Shu drinking water when he came up, Tan Xiao hit him angrily, "You're crazy, aren't you afraid that the water is poisonous?"

Ye Shu grinned painfully, and then smirked: "Poisonous is poisonous, we are here to wait for death, it just so happens that this is a grave, and we will bury it in the province." ”

"That's right. Tan Xiao squatted down and washed his hands, washed his face again, and then took a handful of water at the top of the water and drank it, "Hehe, comfortable." ”

Ye Shu looked at Tan Xiao's relaxed and lazy expression, stepped over the water, and stepped onto the stone altar.

"Yo-he!"

In addition to the big snake that had already stood up, there were two sets of bones in the stone altar, which seemed to be what kind of animal they were, but now there were all bones left, and Ye Shu couldn't tell what kind of animal it was. Look at the big snake, the mouth is big, the expression is very hideous, although it is dead, but it is still quite terrifying to look at. Looking at its body, the first half is better, it is still the previous posture, there is a bag at the neck, it should be the fruit that has not been completely swallowed, and then look at the second half of it, that is, it is covered in scales, just now it passed on the ditch, but it was not able to see the truth, now at close range, it is simply miserable, it is completely blurred with flesh and blood, especially the tail, one section has almost become mud.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the big snake, Ye Shu couldn't help but tighten his body, and his back was cold, if there was no big snake to block the impact of the water, he would have died by himself, and it seemed that he was still dying by the "enema", and the death would be tragic.

"What are you looking at?ah!" Tan Xiao was also startled by the tragic appearance of the big snake as soon as she got on the stone altar, and it is estimated that she also imagined something, holding Ye Shu in her hand, her body trembling a little.

Ye Shu looked up, there were two fruits on the tree, each the size of a baby's head, red, very greedy, but when he thought of the tragic appearance of the big snake just now, Ye Shu immediately had no interest, how poisonous it would be to be able to poison such a big snake in an instant. Shaking his head, Ye Shu got off the stone altar and helped Tan Xiao down, there is nothing to see here.

The two men examined the entire square, and found no other holes or mechanisms. Nothing better, the two of them sat directly on the ground, and finally didn't have to run anymore.

"Gollum ......"

"Gollum ......"

The stomachs of the two people began to drum in unison, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Ye Shu took out two small wild fruits from his trouser pocket and handed them to Tan Xiao, which he had eaten and put in his pocket when they were climbing the mountain in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be there.

Tan Xiao took it and ate one, and handed the other to Ye Shu, "This one is for you." ”

"Eat, I still have it in my pocket. Ye Shu didn't answer, and went to take out the trouser pocket on the other side, but what he took out was his mobile phone, which had been completely on strike since the moment he jumped into the river, and now it was wet, not as good as a brick.

"Eat. Tan Xiao handed over the fruit again.

Ye Shu shook his head, "I don't eat anymore, my elementary school teacher taught me that people are hungry to a certain extent, and drinking cold water can quench their hunger." I'm not hungry yet, and I haven't waited for cold water yet. Leaning back, Ye Shu lay on the ground, looking at the holes on the top that let in the light. His elementary school teacher also taught him, "Don't think about being hungry when you don't have food, you don't have any distractions, and you don't know you're hungry when you're hungry." ”
