Chapter Twenty-Nine: Into the Dragon's Belly
Seeing that Gao Jie didn't know anything, Qin Yue didn't ask any more questions, and came to the stele in two steps, stroked the patterns on the stele, and looked at the door behind the stele.
The messy footprints on the ground were the biggest factor in Qin Yue's determination. said: "Let's go, I don't see anything famous here, let's go on." ”
With that, he took the lead and walked into the door.
Inside the door, even wider, a stone bridge leads directly to the opposite bank, and the water under the bridge has almost dried up. The water surface is three or four meters away from the bridge deck, and the bridge deck is about ten meters high from the top. It looked magnificent, and Qin Yue didn't believe that it was built by those villagers.
When I took out my phone, I saw that the signal on it had become weaker, and if I continued, I was afraid that the signal would be completely lost.
Qin Yue hesitated, but in the end he didn't make a call, and stepped lightly on the bridge. A slight sound of wings flapping came from above, Qin Yue looked up, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
At the top of the cave, densely packed with bats the size of a human head hung upside down, their eyes looking at Qin Yue in unison, and several of them were fanning their wings, ready to cull their prey.
"Brother Qin, how can you ......?"
Gao Jie followed behind Qin Yue and came to the door, the light of the mobile phone was limited, and he didn't see anything. But he could hear, along with his words, the innumerable sound of wings stirring, lingering above his head.
Gao Jie subconsciously shuddered, held his mobile phone and shone it upward, but still didn't find anything, only a pair of eyes, against the cold light, green and faint eyes, looking towards him.
Gao Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was now at an age where he was not afraid of heaven and earth, pulled out the thorn strip on his waist, and dodged towards Qin Yue's back. I didn't turn around and run away, I didn't shiver, well, I just didn't tremble.
Qin Yue turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, his power was much stronger than Gao Jie's.
Shining upwards, the bats, who had been in the dark for a long time, were illuminated by this light and turned their heads in unison. Some of the larger ones are more severe, hiding their heads under their wings.
"Looks like there's no need to worry about these things, as long as there's a bright light, they won't attack. ”
Gao Jie nodded, a little bold.
Qin Yue also understood at this moment, how the previous group of people passed through here, if it wasn't for Gao Jie's presence, he might have to fight hard.
Raising his feet and walking forward, Gao Jie followed closely behind, pulling the corner of Qin Yue's clothes with his hand grasping the thorns, holding his mobile phone, staring at the top of the cave. The body trembled slightly, with fear, novelty, and excitement.
"Brother Qin, are they really not going to attack us?"
Qin Yue glanced up, and some small-sized bats were opening their mouths and roaring at Qin Yue. Every time he roared, Gao Jie's body would tremble, and Qin Yue soothed: "Something like a bat is either an insect catcher, and this kind of thing will not attack something that is bigger than itself." Either it's bloodsucking, and this kind of thing won't attack waking things because it's too dangerous. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yue was a little distressed, and said to himself: "I'm even more curious, how did they grow so big, there aren't so many animals or livestock around here to suck their blood, do you know what this means?"
Gao Jie was wary of the group of bats, puzzled: "I don't know, what does it mean?"
Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "It shows that there must be a lot of bugs down here." Don't stay too far away from me until you have some good spell for clearing insects. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Jie turned his head to look at Qin Yue, his eyes were full of envy, "I know, the master said, you will be away from the fire, the fiercest to the sun, that is the nemesis of all evil things in the world." ”
Hearing Gao Jie say this, he quickened his pace, no longer paid attention to the bat overhead, and quickly led Gao Jie across the bridge.
Coming to the entrance of a cave, the cave was surrounded by potholes, and the feet were particularly smooth, Qin Yue frowned, and instructed: "See, there should be insects here, you go ahead, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to take care of you." ”
Although Qin Yue prepared Gao Jie to die at the beginning, it was impossible for him to directly leave Gao Jie here to fend for himself, and he could only protect him within an acceptable range.
He was a little older than Qin Yue at that time, and since he dared to come, Qin Yue admired him very much.
Gao Jie nodded, and stepped into the cave before Qin Yue, and when he entered Qin Yue's side, Qin Yue took off his hat and buckled it on his head.
He reminded him: "You look to the right, I look to the left, don't look around, as for the top of your head, don't care about it." ”
Gao Jie looked at Qin Yue gratefully, lifted his hat, and saw the bald part of Qin Yue's head, he was slightly stunned, didn't say anything, and carefully avoided the stone wall and walked forward.
Qin Yue followed closely behind him, looking to the left, and at the same time used his mobile phone to illuminate the piece on the right.
The potholes on the stone wall, some very shallow, some very deep, meander, do not know the way to the harmony.
"Brother Qin, bugs!"
It didn't take long for Gao Jie to scream, pointing to a pothole in the stone wall, a bug with shaking tentacles, confused and not knowing what to do.
The insect is the size of an index finger, with two long tentacles on its head, and a carapace on its body, which is dark red and looks like it is poisonous. There are more than a dozen feet densely packed on both sides, firmly grasping the stone wall, and the tentacles keep tapping on the stone wall, and then crawling forward, it seems that there is no vision.
Qin Yue patted Gao Jie's hat, "Don't make such a fuss, just one, are you going to call out all the other bugs?"
Qin Yue said, and saw that all around, countless potholes, countless pairs of tentacles popped up.
“……”
Are the ears so smart?
'Boom' A flame burned out of thin air, emitting a scorching high temperature, and stayed on Qin Yue's left hand. At the moment when the flames appeared, the swaying tentacles that made people's cold hairs stand on end all shrank back.
Qin Yue nodded, "It seems that the weakness of these insects is that they are afraid of fire, hurry up and leave, don't grind, waste my mana, and stay for the battle later." ”
Gao Jie seemed to be frightened, and only after being reprimanded by Qin Yue did he come back to his senses. "Oh", and the pace quickened, and at the same time it was farther away from the stone wall on the right, and it was almost attached to the stone wall on the left.
He was still staring intently to the right, Qin Yue shook his head, and didn't say anything to remind him, just moved him a little to the right to prevent him from leaning against the stone wall on the left.
After passing through the stone wall, there was a huge cave in front of the two, and Qin Yue was a little puzzled and extinguished the flames.
Impatiently asked, "How far is it to get there?"
Leaving the cave, Gao Jie shook twice and checked to make sure there was nothing strange on him. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile: "This is much bigger than I thought." The bridge just now should be the dragon's mouth, and the bridge is the dragon's tongue. What we just walked through should be the dragon's throat, and now this place is almost the dragon's belly. ”
Gao Jie observed the cave, and they needed to go down to the bottom of the cave. Relying on the light of this Qin Yue, there are three openings below, leading to the first three places on the left and right.
"This is the location of the dragon's front paws, and the two rooms on both sides are the ear chambers of the tomb, which are generally the places where the burial goods are placed. That is, the two front paws of the dragon, looking at the scale of this tomb, there should be about five rooms like this. ”
"Funeral goods?" Qin Yue suddenly felt a little interested, "You say, if I hand over the things inside to the state, will the Dao Alliance give me performance?"
After working in the Dao League for more than a month, although most of the time he was eating and drinking, Qin Yue also learned about the welfare system of the Dao League.
Needless to say, five insurances and one housing fund, not to mention salary, the most important thing is performance, which can be exchanged for a lot of magic weapons, pills and the like.
Qin Yue was also very blushing.
When Gao Jie heard Qin Yue's words, he replied with some embarrassment: "I don't know about this, it should be, in such a place, it shouldn't be a problem to find one or two magic weapons." However, these two ear chambers have already been patronized, and I am afraid there is nothing left. ”
"Magic weapons?" Qin Yue was a little puzzled, "Isn't tomb robbing for antiques?"
Gao Jie was confused by Qin Yue's words, "Ah, the tombs are specially designed by people, and they are not places that ordinary people can set foot in at all, and cultivators, how can they be short of money! ”
Qin Yue raised his forehead, and he used his original worldview to speculate about the affairs of this world again.
"So, it's a group of cultivators here?"
Gao Jie nodded, "It should be, we may be able to find the traces left by them when we go down." ”
Qin Yue glanced around, and on the left, there was a rope that was fixed to a stone. Gao Jie also saw it, he walked over directly, pulled the rope twice, and slipped down the rope.
Qin Yue followed closely and came to the bottom, and the dish was on top of something, making a "click" sound. Looking down, it was a human skeleton, long decayed, not even the lower body or skull, only a bare spine and a row of broken ribs.
Feeling that there was a faint air circulation behind him, Qin Yue turned his head to see that it was a one-man high cave, hidden here, where it could not be seen, I don't know where it leads, and there was a fishy smell from inside, as well as a disgusting smell of sulfur.
The inside of the cave, like the dragon's throat just now, was full of pits, even on the ground. Qin Yue broke off a loose stone from the outside of the cave, "There are things coming in and out of here all the time, and it doesn't look like it's been mined artificially, do you know what I mean?"
Gao Jie took a breath and asked uncertainly, "Brother Qin, you mean that this is from those insects." ”
Qin Yue nodded, "Even if it's not those bugs, it's a big guy, what kind of place did Li Beibei give, so weird?"
Qin Yue looked at this big hole, stopped his desire to explore, and turned around and walked towards the two open ear chambers, not knowing how many things were left inside.
