Chapter 117: Snake Repellent Song
"There are so many snakes in this cave...... Li Zimu frowned lightly and said, the basketball-sized stone platform below them is now full of all kinds of snakes, not only that, but the entire hall is also full of snakes.
And the sound they heard in the main hall just now should be made by these snakes, in fact, the sound of a snake spitting out a letter is very small, but the sound formed by these thousands of snakes spitting out letters at the same time is a bit loud......
"We didn't have it when we came just now," Chi Ling softened and said, she was very familiar with snakes, because there were many raw materials for Gu that were taken from poisonous snakes, but suddenly so many snakes appeared at once, and anyone would have a numb scalp.
"It should have been something I encountered, right?" Zhang Jingyang said solemnly, this problem couldn't be more obvious, because they didn't see a snake on the way here, and it only appeared after they entered the Overlord Palace and came out, one or two can be said to be accidental, but these thousands of people huddled together and spit letters at them, obviously not by chance.
And these snakes seem to have received some signal to gather around en masse, and the only possibility is that they have encountered some mechanism in the main hall or something. In this way, it seems that this secret room is not without means to prevent robbers from entering, for example, these snakes are used as a guardian here.
"It should be, you see, these snakes don't enter the hall, they all stay outside the white line," Li Zimu nodded and said, he can name these snakes, they are all some common snakes in the south, such as red chain snakes, black-eyed snakes, and bamboo leaf green snakes.
And most of these snakes are venomous, and now all the snakes are spitting letters towards the main hall, but none of them have crossed the white line.
Although the line formed by the white powder had the effect of repelling insects, it had no effect after so much time, but the snakes still did not cross the line and crawled into the main hall, apparently there was some reason why they did not dare to come in.
The lifespan of snakes is generally only ten or twenty years, if it was the snake that Xiang Yu fed at that time, it should have died a long time ago, and these should be their descendants.
Snakes communicate by transmitting a chemical signal, which is then received by the tongue, similar to human speech, but in a different way.
And this kind of chemical signal can be imitated, so in ancient times, there were many people who raised snakes to drive snakes, and they had achieved the purpose of driving snakes by imitating this signal, could it be that there was something in this hall that could transmit this kind of signal? Li Zimu wondered in his heart.
"So what now?" asked the Spirit, anxiously, she still knew a lot about snakes, and every snake here was spitting letters. Snakes have many uses, such as sending signals to determine their orientation, receiving signals to communicate, and so on, and one point is that they are about to start hunting......
She had no doubt that if she crossed the white line, she would be covered in these long things in less than two minutes, and she would be bitten to pieces in less than ten minutes.
"Did you bring your flute?" Li Zimu turned his head to look at the spirit and said, so far, I have to try it, otherwise no one will be able to get out of this cave today, no matter how high the three of them are, they will not be able to run away when they encounter so many snakes.
"Yes" Chi Ling nodded and said, quickly took out the piccolo from his waist and handed it to Li Zimu, although he didn't know what the latter was going to do, but as the backbone of the three, he could only believe in him at this time.
Took the piccolo handed over by the spirit, and skillfully played with it in his hand, he also has this thing, but he rarely takes it with him, so he still knows how to blow it.
Closing his eyes and thinking about the content of the Snake Sect in his mind, his memory is good, but some things have happened a long time ago, so he has to recall them carefully to remember.
The Snake Sect is a gang that Li Zimu knew about in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many stories about snakes in the Tang Dynasty, the most famous of which is the story of the White Snake and Xu Xian, and there are also other legends about people and snakes.
At that time, in addition to Bai Suzhen, there was another person, his name was Snake Forest, and the Snake Sect he founded was on a small island known as the Snake Capital, which is now a small island on the Bohai Sea in the west of Liao Province.
Li Zimu was once invited to the snake capital, although the area of the small island is not more than two square kilometers, but there are more than 40,000 snakes living in it, there are many kinds, and Li Zimu is dazzled.
It was there that Li Zimu learned some ways to drive away snakes, and the snake forest also had such a small piccolo in his hand, Li Zimu once saw him blow, and those snakes were all under his command, which was the story of dancing with snakes among the people at that time.
Thinking of this, Li Zimu picked up the flute in his hand, gently put one end to his lips, and blew it out through the piccolo according to the snake repellent tune in his memory, and the sound was mixed with a little internal force, echoing in this empty cave.
Chi Ling uncomfortably covered her ears, she had never heard such a strange tune, although it was strange, but it was not unpleasant, but the internal force mixed in it was too domineering, so that her head hurt a little when she heard it.
On the other side, although Zhang Jingyang said that it was uncomfortable to hear, he was not as exaggerated as Chi Ling, after all, his skills were higher than Chi Ling, so he didn't have a headache.
To the surprise of the two, the snakes that were still wrapped around one after another heard this sound and began to flee in all directions, as if they had discovered their natural enemies, and quickly rushed out in other directions.
Li Zimu looked at it and saw that it really worked, and he was a little relieved, to be honest, he didn't know if this snake repellent song was useful before, because he had never tried it before, but there was a score about snake repellent music in a book that Snake Forest gave him.
While constantly holding the flute and playing the snake repellent song over and over again, he slowly walked to the bottom of the steps, while Chi Ling and Zhang Jingyang followed him and walked forward slowly.
A few meters away from them, it was still crowded with snakes, but now there are no snakes, only a few snakes are still staying farther away from them.
A few people quickly walked up the stone steps to the stone path, but there was no trace of a snake in front of them, and the spirit breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"What was the tune you played just now? It's so uncomfortable," the spirit said with a bitter face, not only did the snake want to run when she heard it, but she also wanted to run when she heard it......
