Chapter 185: Poison
Seeing this, Xu Dong couldn't help but take a step forward, and the centipedes on the cave wall and on the ground that were originally dense were extremely flustered for a moment, and they retreated two feet away like a tide, and this distance was almost the distance that Xu Dong took this step.
"So these centipedes are afraid of me!" Xu Dong was overjoyed.
These centipedes were indeed very poisonous, many times more powerful than ordinary centipedes, but because Xu Dong had swallowed the blood of Gu snakes, although he was accused by doctors a lot, there were still some residues in Xu Dong's body after all, and what these centipedes were afraid of was the toxins that remained on Xu Dong's body!
Thinking about this layer, Xu Dong strode forward and chased after the fat man and Qiao Yanxue, and everywhere he went, those centipedes retreated like a tide to dodge, always maintaining a range of four or five feet away from Xu Dong.
At this time, Qiao Xueyan and the fat man had already passed through this narrow section crawling with poisonous centipedes, and arrived at a place that was a little more spacious and had only a few centipedes.
When he turned around, he found that Xu Dong hadn't followed, so the fat man shouted: "Brother Dong......"
The voice reverberated in the cave, and there was a piece between heaven and earth: "Brother Dong...... Tungko ...... Elder brother...... Brother ......"
"It's okay, just pee......" After a long time, Xu Dong replied.
Wait for that piece to "soak in pee...... Urine...... After the echo of the pee-......" ended, the fat man turned his head to look at Qiao Yanxue, and whispered with disdain: "This guy, in front of the girl, it's okay to say 'convenient', and he also soaked in pee, it's vulgar, no, it's vulgar......"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Xu Dong in the back, which scared the fat man.
The fat man turned his head and glared at Xu Dong angrily: "Brother Dong, come over and say hello first, people will be scared to death......
"What's the matter, I'm so vulgar, who makes some people like to chew their tongues behind people's backs!" Xu Dong said with a hippie smile.
"Okay, okay, you two don't make trouble, you have to flirt, find a place where no one is there later, there are more important things to do now!" Watching these two guys "flirting and scolding", Qiao Yanxue only felt that her stomach twitched violently, even more than she heard that these two guys ate centipede barbecue and ate Gu snakes raw.
Xu Dong and the fat man shouted "ah......" together, and then the two of them looked at each other angrily again,
Even "flirting and scolding" made Qiao Yanxue use it, and the two of them were in Qiao Yanxue's heart, and the image of "good * friend" could not be erased in this life.
The next part of the journey was very peaceful, the fat man and Xu Dong were sulking, no one cared about anyone, Qiao Yanxue had something on her mind, and she was also in a hurry, and for a while, she could hear faint breathing in the hole, and the sound of occasionally kicking on the gravel was made.
After walking a very peaceful distance, the cave began to bend downward, and the more it went down, the stronger the cold became, and later, the cold was a little biting!
When it came to a slightly calmer place, Qiao Xueyan stopped again, put down her backpack, and said in a commanding tone: "Let's rest here for half an hour, eat something well, and replenish our body, the next road is very difficult, so we must have enough body." ”
Xu Dong took out the compressed biscuits, ate half of them with mineral water, and couldn't help but ask Qiao Yanxue: "Miss Qiao, can you tell us, where is the thing you are looking for now?" How long will it take? ”
Qiao Yanxue pondered for a long time, sighed, and then said, "The place I want to take you to now is a place where a warlord surnamed Ma hides treasures......"
"Ah......" Xu Dong was taken aback, his bird cage hid the treasure map of the Ma warlord, Xu Dong also thought that if he had the opportunity to open the treasure map, if he could get the treasure, he would give some to Sang Qiuxia, even if he didn't find the "Sang family treasure", a little compensation for Sang Qiuxia.
Unexpectedly, this treasure of the Ma warlord has long been known! And, now it's that place!
In this way, the treasure of the Ma warlord is over, and Xu Dong's heart is cold, even colder than the piercing coldness.
"Well, that's the ......" Looking at Xu Dong with a blank expression, Qiao Xueyan groaned slightly, and said: "When the Ma warlord was building this treasure place, one of the craftsmen, at the beginning of the construction, found a passage that could lead to the outside world, and the craftsman hid this matter, just wanted to escape in the future and come back to dig these treasures, however, what he didn't expect was that the Ma warlord had put chronic poison in the diet of these craftsmen and guards early in the morning, just waiting for the construction of the treasure place to be completed, these guards and craftsmen, One by one, he was poisoned and died, so that only the Ma warlord knew about this hidden treasure, and the craftsman who discovered the secret passage, although he finally escaped, but due to the deep poisoning, his mind has been blurred, judging from the clues he left, he only knew that the secret passage was entered by the Dragon Hidden Cave, as for the actual situation of the hidden treasure, in this world, I am afraid that only those who died know it. ”
"You mean, the treasure of the Ma warlord should not have been discovered yet?" Xu Dong asked cautiously.
"What I'm looking for is not the treasure of the horse warlord, but a line of defense where the treasure is hidden!" Qiao Yanxue glanced at Xu Dong with a "coppery" look, and then said.
"Looking for a line of defense?" The fat man couldn't help but ask, if you don't look for treasure and find a line of defense, wouldn't this be to let people enter the treasure mountain and go back empty-handed, besides, how to find this line of defense?
Qiao Yanxue also glanced at the fat man with a "copper-smelling" look, and then said: "It is said that the poison that the Ma warlord put in the diet of those craftsmen and guards that day was an extremely rare 'centipede Gu', just now, where you passed by, you saw those centipedes, that is the descendant of the Centipede Gu King, and that Centipede Gu King was also used by the Ma warlord to guard the treasure, what I am looking for is it......"
"Ah......" Xu Dong and the fat man took a breath again, those highly poisonous centipedes are the descendants of the Gu King! When the fat man still wants to go out, he has to bring some to enjoy slowly, who knows that those things are actually the famous "poisonous Gu" that makes people famous!
No wonder Qiao Yanxue couldn't stand it, this time, the fat man himself couldn't help but want to retch.
Xu Dong settled down, and thought to himself, this Qiao Yanxue didn't say it earlier, she had the treasure map of the Ma warlord in her hand, and said it early in the morning, find someone to open the treasure map, Qiao Yanxue took the "centipede Gu" she wanted, and waited with the fat man and others, hehe......
Who knew that Qiao Yanxue seemed to have seen through Xu Dong's thoughts, smiled and said, "Grandpa Long said that you have a treasure map in your hand, but unfortunately, that treasure map is now just a piece of waste paper!" ”
"Dong Ge...... You...... Do you have a treasure map? The fat man was suddenly excited.
Xu Dong replied angrily: "I haven't heard anyone say, it's just a piece of waste paper!" What are you excited about? ”
"Why?" Excited, the fat man still asked.
This "why", without Xu Dong opening his mouth, Qiao Yanxue said: "This is because, on that treasure map, the person who was drawn has been coated with an extremely rare layer of grease, and the adhesion is extremely strong, I don't know the secret method of removing the grease, even if you use modern technology, you can't open the treasure map, but the person who knows the secret method of removing the grease has passed away the year before last, you say, what is the use of this treasure map?" ”
The fat man was not convinced: "Could it be that except for the person who has died, who knows the secret method of removing the anointment, no one else knows?" Besides, didn't that person leave a secret method for removing the cream? ”
Qiao Yanxue shook her head lightly: "That's not important to me anymore, except for the time constraints, I haven't found another way!" ”
At this moment, the fat man and Xu Dong were completely speechless.
That treasure map is really a piece of waste paper!
With it, it might be easier, but without it, everyone is now on the way to the treasure place! It's a big deal, a little more delay, compared to spending time and laboriously going all over the world to find people to remove the cream, open the treasure map, and then open the treasure, for Qiao Yanxue, it is a big circle.
Things in this world, sometimes it's so helpless, yesterday, the treasure map in Xu Dong's hand is still a priceless treasure, in the blink of an eye, to today, in addition to its own research value, for Xu Dong, it can be said that it is really a worthless waste paper!
Seeing that Xu Dong and the fat man both looked lost, Qiao Yanxue's eyes were full of smiles, almost gloating: "Actually, that treasure map still has a certain value, if it were me, at least one million, I wouldn't make a move!" ”
"It's worth a million!" The fat man's face was finally a little excited, at least, it was ten million times stronger than throwing it directly!
It's a pity that Xu Dong is even more annoyed, Qiao Yanxue has money, and she doesn't care about money, of course she will say so, but if she changes to someone else, knowing that the hidden treasure is just a piece of waste paper, and only has a little research value, I am afraid that she can give 100,000 yuan, which is also a high price.
At this point, it has been almost forty minutes, and besides, this way over, it can be regarded as a thrill, and now that they have rested for such a long time, the bodies of the three people have recovered as usual.
After this slightly gentler place, the terrain in this cave is directly downward, and the terrain is steep, as if you are going down a "sinkhole".
Qiao Yanxue took out the rope, found a solid place, tied the rope tightly, and personally taught Xu Dong and the fat man to equip the safety buckle, lifter and other rope descent equipment properly, and then slowly began to descend.
The fat man and Xu Dong have never used these advanced rope descent equipment, although Qiao Yanxue has carefully taught the two of them, but when it comes to using them, the two of them are still clumsy.
Fortunately, Qiao Yanxue's skills are extremely good, almost taking care of the two of them while descending.
