Chapter 22 deals with danger

The road ahead was dark, and my highlighted flashlight was like a star in the night sky, with very little light. The wind blew a little stronger, and there was an indescribable stench in the air, and I felt something in the darkness staring at me, but neither I could see anything wrong with it if I was using Yin-Yang or my own eyes. It waited for me like a trapped beast in a desperate situation, waiting for its prey, and my instinct told me that it was just ahead.
As Dazhe said, there was a corner not far ahead, but this was also the most incomprehensible to me. In the definition of the ancients, ghosts do not turn around, of course, after understanding from the side of our family, it is obviously not the case. Therefore, many ancient tombs are connected to the tomb of the burial chamber and the tomb road is straight.
There are no bends in the main road of the ancient tomb, and the official saying is to respect the deceased and help them ascend to heaven, but I am afraid that it is more convenient for the tomb builder to create a zĂ o for himself when he escapes. Many ancient tombs, especially the royal tombs, will require the craftsmen who built the tombs to be buried with them when the construction is completed, but the road is one foot high, and many smart craftsmen will leave a day for themselves.
I turned the corner, and in front of me there was an open field, without the walls of the cemetery, and in front of me was a place that seemed to be a cave, and I shouted the names of the three of them, and there was no answer, only the whirring wind answered me. This tomb is so weird, could it be that the underground cavern is being used as an ancient tomb? In ancient times, there was no such precedent, many emperors would feel that placing their coffins in a cave with a good feng shui location could collect the aura of heaven and earth, but this ancient tomb, from the scale to the structure is not the royal style, which landlord nouveau riche will also have such a heart higher than the sky?
The cemetery began to descend, there was no brick road under the feet, and the stone steps hewn out of the stone wall winded down, these stone steps were very messy, some of the two steps were half a meter apart, some were only a few centimeters, and the chiseled was not flat, it was very inconvenient to walk, and I almost climbed down with my hands and feet. The smell of fish in the air became stronger, I walked to the bottom of the stone steps, I found that I didn't feel scared, I used yin and yang to carefully probe forward, I stood on a platform, this cave was very large, the front probed forward at least five or six meters, all around it was strange rocks, I looked closely at all shale. The entire cave is about two stories high, and there are no traces of artificiality except for the stone steps.
There was no way to the right, and the cave stretched to the left, with a faint light ahead. I walked over and saw a skull, a glowing skull. I've never been afraid of these bones, and when I walked over to take a closer look, a military flashlight was stuck inside the skeleton, and it was glowing, but the light had dimmed significantly due to the lack of electricity.
I picked up the flashlight and saw a "Lu" word on the handle, which was... Uncle's flashlight, carving his name on the utensils is the uncle's habit, "Maybe which one is my relic", people who have been on the battlefield have this spirit of seeing death as home, I suddenly feel that this may be a good habit worth learning from me.

I ran forward, and it was surprisingly quiet along the way, except for the strange "silk" sounds, and the road under my feet was smooth. It's just that the fishy smell in the air has reached the point where I smell nauseous, and after running for about twenty or thirty meters, the bones under my feet began to increase, at first it was just some broken bones, then it was a large piece of bones, and then it was a complete corpse.
I felt a little cold, only to find that my mountaineering clothes were already soaked, my palms were full of cold sweat, my right hand holding the flashlight, because I was too hard to get a little numb, my left hand had already held the Sogo dagger tightly in my hand at some point, I paid attention everywhere, for fear of deducting a little clue about Yun Ximing and them.
The cave seemed to come to an end, and another empty circular cave appeared in front of me, this cave should be in the shape of a dumbbell, this cave is about the same size as the previous one, but it is lower, in front of me is a cliff five or six meters high, I have to try to go down to the bottom of the cliff, and I have to go down to the bottom of the cliff, because the scene before me is beyond my imagination.
There was not only a foul smell around me, but also the sound of "silk", and in front of me there were three large round balls, which were composed of countless silver snakes with golden raised scales on their backs, and these snakes, large and small, were entrenched together to form three large balls. I saw a human hand sticking out of the ball in the middle, and the clothes were obviously Dazhe's ill-fitting tracksuit.
I ran to the edge of the cliff, and was about to find a good position, climb down, I didn't dare to delay a step, I was afraid that if I took a step too slow, uncle, Yun Ximing, and Dazhe would become skeletons. I didn't even have time to think about what kind of snakes those were, poisonous or not, how could I deal with so many snakes alone, my mind was blank, I only thought about saving people.
I was on the edge of a cliff, and before I could gain a foothold, I suddenly felt the wind above my head, and a behemoth slashed towards the top of my head, and I reflexively bent backwards and rolled backwards. As soon as I stabilized my body, the big guy came at me again, this time it swept across, I grabbed the rock next to me and hung my body in the air, dodged, who knew that the brittle shale could not eat my weight, I fell straight down.
I could see exactly what was striking me, and it was a huge wing! Wings the size of a double bed!
I fell heavily on the rocky floor, the gravel on the ground cut my knees and cheeks, and suddenly I felt a hot pain all over my body, I got up, and felt a lot of light around me, but my unassuming flashlight was already crooked to the side, flashing and dying.
I looked up at the top of the cave, and at some point there were two more lanterns, each the size of a basketball, and I realized that it was a pair of huge eyes. The pair of yellow eyes grew on the thick body of the two people hugging each other full of scales, each of which was silvery-white, the size of a gong, only the row on the back was golden yellow, and there was a whole row of wings on the back, which looked a bit like a stegosaurus.
"Silk... The seeping sound echoed throughout the cavern. A long letter poked out to me, like a red belt of trousers.
This is a prototype of the Teng snake!
