Chapter 2: A Snake or a Dragon
One day in October last year, two of her best friends and a group of travelers rushed to Qinghai, and the high altitude along the way made the group suffer a lot, and some of the tour guides who had originally met chose to give up because of the increase in the snow line in October and the degree of danger.
However, despite the opposition, they resolutely set off for Qinghai, because the signal could not be widely popularized, Yao Yan decided to let them contact her once a month, so that she could know their movements at any time and avoid any accidents.
But this trip, it dragged on until the end of the year, and there was no news back, which cast a shadow of unease on her heart.
Out of anxiety and most of the uncertainty, Yao Mo chose to log in to their encrypted files with the password she had left earlier.
Most of the files are compressed files, arranged in chronological order, Yao Yan opened several files randomly, most of them are photos of the two of them, as well as landscape photos of some scenic spots, these similar photos, she has seen a lot. So without looking closely, I opened a few more files downward.
Not surprisingly, in addition to a route prepared in advance when going to Qinghai, there is a problem with eating and drinking. and equipment supplies, which are some similar landscape photos.
But at the bottom of the folder, there are a few photos abruptly displayed, these photos are all photos of the snake bone, and they will only be repeated because of the different angles of shooting.
The usual travel materials, because of the relationship between the sworn friends, Yao Yan did not see less, but for this kind of thing similar to antiquities, there was no contact, just like Liu Junzi in the flowers, sitting in a mess, it seemed out of place, a little abrupt. So Yao Yan selected some photos, first put them on the Internet, hoping to seek some help, and then found a senior post-image processing friend to confirm, after some identification, the conclusion given was that there was no problem. Yao Yan also strengthened her thoughts because of this reason, and most of the two dead friends were because of some kind of inexplicable problem with the snake bones in the photo.
After narrating everything he knew in one breath, he took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at Xu Mo fixedly, waiting for his answer.
To be honest, even the well-informed Xu Mo was stunned after listening to his story, and Yao Yan obviously cared about my first reaction, and the first reaction of human beings was mostly the facial changes made by themselves unconsciously, which also represented the colorful state of the inner world at that time. Avoiding her gaze, he sorted out his thoughts and pondered a few details.
Judging from the way her friend's photos are stored and the preparation of the trip, this person is a person who pays attention to details and is rarely sloppy, and if the photos are fake, or from hearsay in some places, they should not be put in this secret document, then it is also concluded that the provenance of the photos is important.
And these friends of hers have been missing mysteriously for a year, but they have not seen any news about the disappearance of Qinghai tour groups in the news reports, so there are only two possibilities, first, most of these people live alone or orphans, and few people will call the police to find them after a long time of accidents, and second, this operation is premeditated, and they may now be part of a plan.
If it is the second possibility, then Xu Mo may already be in danger. Because behind the premeditation, there is always some purpose.
Judging from the current clues, the pictures found are not directly related to the disappearance of her friend, and the current Yao Yan is nothing more than the mentality of rushing to the doctor in a hurry.
Xu Mo has always been an atheist and does not believe in the Mantian Buddha in most people's mouths. I don't believe in some strange words.
After clearing these thoughts, Xu Mo was silent for a moment before speaking to her. "The best way to know the truth of the matter is to experience it yourself. ”
......
......
On the third day, Xu Mo and the others had already embarked on a journey to Golmud City, Qinghai, which was the last big city and the last large-scale supply place for Yao Yan's girlfriends before entering the Kunlun Mountains.
Kunlun Mountain National Park
Xu Mo followed the route drawn up by Yao Yan's girlfriend from Golmud City to Kunlun Mountain National Park, and from the national park to the west, 400 kilometers to the place where they had previously found the giant snake bone.
The majestic Kunlun Mountains gave Xu Mo an unreal feeling, the vast mountains seemed to stand in the sky, and the glaciers were vertical and horizontal. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm afraid Xu Mo wouldn't have been able to appreciate how much of the momentum brought by Kunlun Mountain was in his lifetime.
With the mark left by Yao Yan's best friend, it didn't take much effort to follow the mark left to a cave halfway up the mountain.
Xu Mo, who originally planned to take a break before entering the cave, fell into the cave because of Yao Yan's recklessness before he could react.
Be careful.
A quick exhalation.
Xu Mo and Yao Yan both landed, and where they entered the eye, a piece of earth was yellow, and a huge earth pit appeared in front of them, the diameter of the soil pit was 100 meters, the depth was about 10 meters, and a giant snake-like creature stretched for 100 meters, surrounded by a circle, and the head and tail were connected.
"This is the bones of the giant snake in the photo?"
Yao Yan exclaimed.
Such a large skeleton, in addition to shock, brought Xu Mo and the two of them unparalleled horror, a body of 100 meters long, a skeleton is more than ten or twenty meters long, such a huge creature is in front of you, although it has turned into bones, it is still terrifying.
In the thick white bones, there was an aura of decay, and Xu Mo knew that what they saw at this time was no longer something that could be covered by photos. The size and completeness of this skeleton alone is enough to cause a sensation in the world. In addition, the top of the giant snake's head, the two slightly bulging bone pockets, and the four extra claws on the body, what is this, the manifestation of a dragon?
Thinking of this, Xu Mo was shocked again, the word "dragon", no matter where it is, has a special meaning, and in the land of China, the dragon is a symbol of auspiciousness and the mandate of heaven, in ancient times, the dragon is the sky, and the emperor can only be called the son of heaven, that is, the son of the dragon.
The huge snake bone in front of him had obviously reached the stage of turning into a dragon. Otherwise, there will be no bone pockets and dragon claws on the top of the head and abdomen.
Descending down the surrounding dirt slope to the bottom of the pit, the desolate breath poured into the nostrils, and the air was filled with a feeling of desolation and decay, even if the sun was high and the yang energy was full, it still could not stop this desolate atmosphere.
Huge snake bones filled the space, and the tall walls around them still couldn't resist the spread of snake bones, and the frost around the bones inserted into the walls seemed to freeze them.
