Chapter 40: The Hooked Snake

As soon as Bai Liyou's words came out, we were all stunned for a moment, although we also guessed that there were indeed other people in it, but listening to him say it so surely, it still felt different.

Bai Liyou cut off one of its arms, proving to us the existence of this thing, and undoubtedly angering the sixth man. Uncle Yuan was pinched, and he slowly woke up, and he had no memory of the attack on the sissy just now, which must have been done by "it".

At the moment, it is hiding in the dark and licking its wounds, staring at us, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Gu Feiti yƬ better hurry up, no matter if there are any ghosts down there, anyway, there are here, and they are eyeing us. We jumped down one after another, but Bai Liyou still didn't move, so I went over and pulled him.

"Let's go."

He glanced at me, looked around again, and handed Ayou to me, "You go first." With that, he picked up his sword and walked into the darkness.

"Bailiyou! What do you want? "Damn, he's going to fight to the death with the "sixth man".

He paused in his footsteps and didn't look back: "Go down and wait for me, take care of Ayou." ā€

I don't know why, when I heard him say this, I didn't get angry. I walked up and grabbed him: "Can you please stop acting so freely?!" Either you go down with us now, or you ......" I paused and looked him in the eye, "I'll stay with you." "In this situation, it's safer for everyone to stay together, no matter what, go alone? Isn't this looking for death? The "sixth man" still wishes we were like this.

"You're here, it's just going to get in the way." He shook me off, glared at me, and never stopped.

Depend on! What is fierce?! Aren't you worried about you accidentally burping?! His grandma's! I was indignant in my heart, and I knew that I couldn't persuade him, so I had to jump to the third floor first.

The third layer is different from the first two, much more normal, but it doesn't see any use in the slightest.

The only bright spot is that in the center of the third floor stands an amber pillar surrounded by five people, I have never seen such a large amber, the color is red, clear and translucent, and the blood is even. I've seen something like this before, called Bloodamber. It's just that the individuals of the average blood amber are very small, if this is really blood amber, how can it be so big?!

There are no carved patterns on the blood pillar, but a lot of Sanskrit can be written, all of which I don't know, not to mention that they are still poured, so there is little interest.

The sissy didn't dare to go with Uncle Yuan again, so she kept sticking to my side, he patted me and asked me to look at it, there was something vaguely in the blood amber, I was shocked, it was seven other side flowers, this is not strange, strange is that these seven other side flowers, flowers and leaves are coexisting at the same time.

Flowers on the other side, bloom on the other side, only see flowers, not leaves.

Whether it is a Buddhist scripture or a legend, it is said that it is impossible for the flowers and leaves of the flower on the other side to exist at the same time.

I tilted my head, it couldn't be that I was mistaken, I pushed down the sissy on the side: "This flower...... Is there a leaf? ā€

"Isn't it? Dare to see a great wonder of the world. He tilted his head, put a hand on my shoulder, leaned on me and said, "Do you think this is the ninth wonder of the world?" ā€

I dodged his arm, looked at him, patted him on the shoulder a few times, and smiled "friendly" at him: "You're more like." After speaking, before he could react, he walked towards Gu Fei and Uncle Yuan.

"What's wrong? What's in that thing? "As soon as I passed, Gu Fei and Uncle Yuan asked me.

I spread my hands and pointed at it with a flashlight: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that there are seven leaves on the other side of the flower, which is quite rare." "This tells us that there are no wonders in the world, and what we haven't seen doesn't necessarily mean that there won't exist.

"Where's that kid Baili?" Uncle Yuan glanced at Ayou in my arms, gave way to the side, and asked me about Bailiyou's situation.

I pointed to it: "He's still up there." "I get angry at the mention of him, and that look looks like I have some deep hatred for him.

"Ouch hey! What a thing! Splash me all over the water! "The sissy is always a person who has an emergency, and I don't know what happened this time," Ouch! Baili, what are you doing?! ā€

Bailiyou is back?

When we walked over, we saw a black corpse on the ground, and Bai Liyou's body was scratched in several places, and his face was also scratched.

Could it be that this corpse is what attacked us before?

The sissy flipped him with her foot, and was so disgusted that she almost threw up.

The corpse's face looked as if it had been corroded, its facial features were indistinguishable, its arms were about the same thickness as its legs, and it was almost impossible to feel any muscles on its body, as if only a layer of gray-black skin wrapped around a skeleton. But its speed before was quite fast, and it was not at all like a "human" who was powerless.

Bai Liyou took Ayou from my hand, and Ayou immediately gnawed on its brain, and I felt sick when I saw it. Bai Liyou stared at Uncle Yuan again, could it be that he wanted Uncle Yuan to be the same as Ayou?

I saw that he didn't feel disgusted at all, grabbed something from the corpse with his bare hands, and wiped it on Uncle Yuan's back and face. Only then did we find out that Uncle Yuan had a black palm print on his back, and he didn't know when he was hit.

Although the sissy is also very disgusted, she can only follow the same example and wipe it on her face. Don't talk about them, I can smell a foul smell without wiping my face.

After doing these things, Bai Liyou also looked at the blood pillar in the middle, and circled around a few times, not knowing what he was thinking.

The qiē here is contrary to common sense, but from this point of view, this is simply deliberate and maverick. We didn't plan to stay here, although this blood amber was valuable, and it was a giant blood amber with seven flowers and leaves in the same body. But I can only look at it, even if I want to knock a little bit back, it's impossible, I heard that amber is more fragile, if it is knocked apart, what will happen again, do you want to live?

For now, let's hurry up and continue, and find what Old Lady Xiao wants me to find.

As soon as I packed up and thought about it, I remembered that I had just been focusing on this blood amber, and I hadn't even looked at the murals around here.

"What else are you looking at, it must be similar to the ones above, it's all whimsical stuff, let's go down quickly." Gu Fei pulled me to the side of the stairs, and I hurriedly swept the contents of the wall with a flashlight.

Suddenly, I saw something familiar: "Wait a minute! I took the "invitation" out of my bag and compared it to the picture on the wall, "Look, it's not the same." ā€

Although it was upside down, the centipede-like figure, with its sharp beak and long hook on its tail, was so obvious that it attracted me at once, and I beckoned them all, and all five of them tilted their heads to look at the mural.

The thing on the mural is coiled on a towering giant tree, and there are many people who come to pay tribute, carrying cattle, sheep and pigs, dressed strangely, and it should not be from the Central Plains. According to the proportions on the painting, this thing is too long, at least dozens of meters!

When I looked further back, the tributaries seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, that this thing was restricted from freedom, and that it could not be too far away from the great tree. Then they started attacking the thing, as if trying to prevent the trouble.

In that era, if you were different, you could easily be regarded as a demon. Such a strange long snake, even if you want to be a god, it is difficult.

Their attack was unsuccessful, as the "snake" pierced their bodies with a long hook on its tail, swallowing all those who came to resist. In the end, the group had no choice but to continue to pay tribute, in order to coexist peacefully and continue to live around the giant tree.

Tilting his neck to look at these things, his neck really couldn't stand it, so he looked at it roughly: "Looking at it this way, I seem to have really heard of this thing." ā€

The five of them all pressed their necks and relaxed, and Gu Fei said so casually, which attracted everyone's attention: "Where have you seen it?" ā€

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas!" He looked at us amusedly, a little smug, "Uneducated, right?" In the Book of Mountains and Seas, this thing is called a hooked snake, which is preyed on with a long hook on its tail. ā€

There was a boo, what is this, I thought I had seen the real body of this thing somewhere.
