Chapter 48: Windfall
The two creatures were killed at the same time, and Li Hao and Meng Fan felt so small and vulnerable when they stood next to the two huge bodies.
The two sighed together, Li Hao picked up the spear and cut off a large piece of snake skin on the belly of the python, put it away and said to Meng Fan: "Just take it back to make a stretcher, let's go, don't stay, the smell of blood is too strong, who knows what it will attract." β
Meng Fan looked at the two corpses and sighed, and said, "Could it be that these things have turned this piece upside down, it has been a forbidden land for two thousand years, and it is called the Devil's Domain?" As he spoke, he took out his camera, took a few photos carefully, put the camera and took out the walkie-talkie, and said, "Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian, we're fine, you're safe." β
"Well, it's okay, ordinary beasts can't climb up, you must be careful. over.β

Hearing the news that the other party was also safe, everyone was relieved, Li Hao and Meng Fan continued to walk along the river, and they didn't encounter anything along the way, but they were surprised that there were no fish in the lake, and it seemed that they could only draw conclusions by going back to the test.
Turning a corner by the lake, a dark deep hole appeared on the ground in front of the two, the diameter of the hole is about two meters, and the surrounding area is very smooth, judging from the surrounding traces, it is very likely to be a snake cave, but it is difficult to say if it is not the wine of the python just now, no one dares to deny that there will be a giant python the next day.
Li Hao and Meng Fan slowly approached the entrance of the cave, a fishy smell came out from inside, the dark and smooth snake cave was bottomless, and the chill made the two of them can't help but wrap their clothes and wrap them.
Li Hao asked, "Do you think there will be a little snake inside?" β
Meng Fan knew what Li Hao wanted to do, and persuaded: "Do you still want to go in, forget it, it's not a good idea." β
Li Hao continued: "Brother Meng, what are we here for? β
Meng Fan didn't speak, and Li Hao continued: "You pick me up outside, I'll go down and take a look, maybe I'll find something." Li Hao didn't know why he wanted to go down, but he always felt that something inside was calling him.
Seeing that Li Hao insisted, Meng Fan stopped stopping him, handed the pistol to Li Hao and said, "Take it for self-defense." β
Li Hao took the gun and put the walkie-talkie on his waist, held the spear tightly in his right hand, and opened it with a tactical flashlight in his left hand and slowly entered the snake cave. As soon as I entered the hole, in addition to the fishy smell and a trace of chill, there was nothing uncomfortable, the snake cave was slowly downward, after walking about 20 meters away, there was a turn, I felt like I was walking on a spiral road, I kept turning down, all around were smooth stone walls, the more I went down the cave wall, the more slippery it became, so I walked more than 100 meters, and began to go up again, Li Hao looked around with a flashlight, and felt that the hole in the road was getting bigger and bigger, the air was still the same wet and stuffy, fortunately it was Li Hao, If it had been someone else, there would have been a lack of oxygen in such a poorly ventilated crypt.
After walking up for about thirty meters, Li Hao's eyes suddenly opened up, and he had reached the end of the hole, which should be the place where the snake rested, and a circular cave with a radius of more than ten meters and a height of four or five meters appeared in front of him. The cave was littered with yellow weeds, scraps of wood, and rusty armor and weapons of ancient people. Li Hao looked around and saw that there was a well-preserved scimitar, the jade handle was inlaid with agate and turquoise, and the scabbard sewn together from deerskin, jade and wood tightly protected the blade
Li Hao picked it up and slashed hard, with a bang, the blade was unsheathed, and the cold light shone with a flashlight, and a thick smell of blood spread out.
"It's really a good knife, it's been more than a thousand years, and this time the sun and moon can be rebuilt." Li Hao picked up the knife and put it in his backpack, and picked up some jade and gold coins everywhere, thinking that this time he had come to the right place, these things could make him a fortune.
"Huh? What is that? Li Hao found a messy and broken piece of parchment under a pair of armor, picked it up and took a closer look, and his head slammed.
"This, this, isn't this written by Guiguzi?" Li Hao trembled and looked at the words on it with a flashlight, many places have been damaged, but he also understood the general meaning, this sheepskin is recorded that Guiguzi found that there is a mysterious power here that can make the growth of animals and plants change, he has lived here for nearly a hundred years, cultivated a kind of bean, and also cast four bronze medals and a copper box, as long as you collect four bronze medals, you can open the copper box, and the copper box records the secret of his life and so on.
Li Hao looked at this sheepskin, the excitement in his heart was indescribable, he really guessed correctly, the ruins here are related to Guiguzi, and he is destined to come to this gloomy snake cave to find this sheepskin, as long as he collects four bronze medals, he can open the copper box in his hand, God help me!
Li Hao searched carefully in the cave for a long time, but did not find the bronze medal, and at the moment of anxiety, Meng Fan's words came from the walkie-talkie in his waist: "Li Hao, Li Hao, please answer." β
"Roger, Brother Meng, Roger." Li Hao was worried about what was happening outside, anyway, there was nothing in the cave, he walked out while talking, walked a few steps, and then chopped the sheepskin with a dagger and threw it away, he didn't want to take the clue with him, it was safer to remember.
"It's okay, I'm just worried, it's okay."
"Okay, I'm out now. over.β
οΌover.οΌ
Li Hao was just about to walk out of the cave where the python was resting, and another inconspicuous thing on the ground attracted him, a green translucent bead the size of a ping-pong ball was half exposed in the sand, he walked over and bent down to pick it up and hold it in his hand, thinking that the little wolf had given him a bead like this before, and he felt it out of his pocket, and this one in his hand was black, and now this one is green, and the size and shape are almost the same.
Li Hao realized that this might be something important, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, there was also a faint dark fragrance, I don't understand, put it away first.
Li Hao walked out of the snake cave quickly, and he couldn't open his eyes when the dazzling sunlight shone at the entrance of the cave, and the fresh air outside immediately poured into his lungs, and it was better to be outside.
"Brother Li, so long? I thought something was wrong!" Meng Fan saw that Li Hao came out safely, and the stone in his heart finally put down.
Li Hao opened his eyes after a while, and said to Meng Fan with a smile: "Brother Meng, we have made a fortune now, look at these." β
Saying that, Li Hao put down his backpack and took out the things he picked up in the cave one by one, of course, the green beads were not included.
Meng Fan watched Li Hao take out a bunch of things as if by magic, looked at them one by one for a long time, and said in surprise: "Brother Li, the real value of your trip this time, these are thousands of years old, and it is very rare to protect them so well, look at these pieces of jade, they should be from the Han Dynasty." The best thing is this scimitar, it should be used by a great Khan of the Mongolian tribe, it can still be so sharp for more than a thousand years, hahaha, it's really rare. β
Meng Fan is also a lover of antiques, looking at the things that are usually rare in front of him, forgetting that he is in danger, squatting on the ground and playing with it, especially when he holds the knife in his hand, he can feel a murderous aura. shouted again and again: "What a knife, what a treasure knife!" β
Li Hao saw that Meng Fan liked it, so he said: "If Brother Meng likes it, I will give you this knife." β
Meng Fan heard Li Hao say this, and hurriedly put away the treasure knife and said to him: "Brother Li, I understand your kindness, do you know what price this knife can sell for on the market?" If you are conservative, it will cost more than five million, and if you can find out which Mongolian prince or Great Khan used it, it is not impossible to send tens of millions, so you will give it to me? β
Li Hao smiled and said: "Brother Meng likes it, it doesn't matter how much money he has!" β
Meng Fan thought at first that Li Hao didn't know the price of the knife before he said that he wanted to give it to him, but now that he said the price, Li Hao still said happily that he wanted to give it to himself, his heart was hot, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, Brother Li is really heroic, I'm not welcome, I'll accept this knife, and I will definitely thank you when I return to the capital." β
"Brother Meng, I gave it to you when I saw that you liked it, but I didn't want to repay it!"
"Okay, I know, let's get on the road." Meng Fan got such a treasure, I don't know how happy he is, a big man he knows likes war knives, if he gives this treasure knife to a big man, then, hehe.
The two of them continued to walk along the lake, looking at the lake as calm as a mirror, not rippling at all, I really don't know what the reason is, and they haven't encountered anything along the way.
Then turn a bend in the canyon, at this time the sky also darkened, the lake surface of the rise of clouds of fog spread around, after a while the whole lake fell into the mist, the wind of the canyon continued to blow these fog around, less than half an hour, the whole canyon was shrouded in this fog.
"So the fog started here? What's so magical about this lake, and why doesn't that giant climb directly on the surface of the lake to drink? Li Hao seemed to be talking freely to himself, and he was also asking Meng Fan. Meng Fan ignored Li Hao, but picked up the telescope and looked forward.
After looking at it for a while, Meng Fan handed the telescope to Li Hao and said, "Look at the ten o'clock position." β
Li Hao took the telescope, first looked up at the front, there was a black shadow in the fog at ten o'clock, picked up the telescope and looked carefully to find that it was a house, and after seeing the house, he immediately remembered the description of Guiguzi on the sheepskin, then this may be the place where Guiguzi lived.
Putting down the binoculars, Li Hao made up his mind in his heart, and said to Meng Fan: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look, and we will spend the night in the house tonight." β
