Chapter 14 (I) The Sacrifice of the Sea Serpent
[Today's 10th shift begins, the ninth shift, ask for a monthly pass!] γ
Everyone straightened up and looked at the cave that seemed to stretch infinitely in front of them, and through the light of the sea lantern insects around guΓ², they could find that the cave was curved, and the whole cave was translucent, and from this end of the cave was faintly visible, and the cave at the other end of the corner was faintly visible, and the ground was all white sand, and there were no footprints, nor the paw prints of that strange bird, as if no one had entered it before them.
"Gu madman, I have a feeling." After Ji Kefeng stared at the cave for a long time, he suddenly felt chills all over his body, after he said this, everyone turned their heads to look at him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and slowly raised his hand to point to the cave in front of him, "I feel that the hole in front of me seems to be that kind of python cave." β
"Python Cave?" Tang Shuxing slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to touch the top of the cave in front of him, but he couldn't touch it at all, he needed to jump up hard, the cave was at least three meters high, and the sides were also four meters wide, he turned his head and said, "There is no such a big python in the world, right?" If there were, we're all finished, and it can swallow half of us in one bite. β
"The sea serpent." A pirate suddenly uttered the word.
"Shut up!" Ye Sang's face changed, "That thing is just a fisherman's legend!" β
"Captain, some fishermen have seen it with their own eyes!" Another pirate said, "In the Strait of Malacca, at least dozens of people have witnessed this sea snake in recent decades." β
"But we're far from the Strait of Malacca! I've counted the distance on the ship, we still have three days to go from Singapore, and according to the currents, even if there is a shock. It was also rushing from the Andaman Sea, and it could not be where we were, so the probability of a giant sea serpent appearing in this range was very low. Ye Sang shook his head, pointed to the water behind him and said, "Now we have to go back, we can only drown alive, there is no other way but to bury our heads and walk forward." β
"Vote by show of hands!" Ji Kefeng looked at everyone, "The minority obeys the majority, and those who are willing to move forward raise their hands." "Finished. Ji Kefeng raised his hand. Gu Huaiyi also raised his hand, Ye Sang also raised his hand, two pirates also raised their hands, and Tang Shuxing also slowly raised his hand. Only the two pirates who had just spoken stared at each other. They all shook their heads and said they couldn't move any further.
"Captain. Have you forgotten the lesson from last time? One of the pirates who said the veto was still making a final persuasion, "If we give up that box and don't go into the cave." Maybe something will happen to those 10 brothers! β
Ye Sang turned around, approached the pirate, frowned and shook his head: "But have you ever thought that if we don't help them find the box that time and can't get the money, the rest of the brothers will have to starve to death, and our ship will not be able to go to sea again, we are people who rely on the sea to eat the sea, and Meilin Temple is not a summer camp for children to experience pirate life!" β
Another pirate hurriedly stepped forward and tried to separate the two men from the conflict, the previous pirate just nodded slowly, turned and walked towards the water, the pirate looked at the coconut mulberry, gave a "sorry" look, and then followed the man to turn and walk towards the water.
"Captain, I won't go with him, we will wait for you here, if you find a way out, come back to pick us up, we will wait for you for three days, if you don't come back after three days, we will die and return the same way!" The pirate said, and simply sat down at the water's edge, but he didn't realize that there was a huge black shadow wriggling in the water, and slowly coiled his body under the water, hanging on a pitch-black reef as cover.
"Come back-" Gu Huaiyi turned around suddenly, facing the two pirates sitting by the water, and at the same time raised his left hand to signal Tang Shuxing and the others to move towards the sea cave, waving his hand vigorously, his face was also ugly, and then he raised his hand and slowly swung towards the two pirates, and said in a low voice, "Come back quickly!" β
The two pirates didn't know why, Tang Shuxing and the others didn't know what was going on, Ji Kefeng was the most cautious, turned around and dragged Tang Shuxing and Ye Sang and walked quickly in the direction of the sea cave, even so, Gu Huaiyi still desperately pointed at the sea cave, meaning that their speed was too slow.
Ji Kefeng, Tang Shuxing, Ye Sang and the remaining two pirates walked to the entrance of the sea cave, and did not continue to move inside, but just stood there, looking at Gu Huaiyi who was waving towards the two pirates and slowly retreating towards the mouth of the sea cave. Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng both knew that Gu Huaiyi, a madman, only rarely did not smile, and when his smile disappeared on his face, it meant that the matter was beyond his control, that is, something was going to happen.
Giant sea serpent? Tang Shuxing suddenly had these three words in his mind, and he ran towards the two pirates, shouting as he ran: "Come back!" Hurry up! Come back! There's something in the water! β
The two pirates were shocked, and immediately got up, but they still subconsciously turned back to look at the water, and when they looked at the water, they only saw a dark shadow in the water, and two golden lights scattered out in the middle of the shadow.
While the two pirates were attracted by the pale golden light, their brains also lost consciousness, their bodies became stiff, and they just stood there stupidly, turning their heads to look.
When Tang Shuxing rushed towards the two pirates, Gu Huaiyi stepped forward and knocked them down, and at the same time, the sea surface behind him suddenly rose, and at the same time that the water like a fountain erupted, the black shadow also ejected, turned around at a height of a few meters on the sea surface, swept the two people directly into the sea with a sweep of his body, and then returned to the sea water and suddenly rose up, straightened his front body and threw himself towards Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi.
When Gu Huaiyi and Tang Shuxing heard the sound of water, they had already struggled to run towards the direction of the sea cave, Ye Sang and the remaining two pirates rushed into it with their legs under Ji Kefeng's reminder, while Gu Huaiyi and Tang Shuxing fell to the ground because the fine sand at the entrance of the cave was too slippery, and then turned over and looked at the thing that pounced - it was all black, covered with scales that emitted dark light, and the whole head was full of barb-like small horns, if it weren't for the dark green letter that spit out of the monster's mouth, I'm afraid no one will recognize it as a giant sea serpent.
Just when the giant sea snake opened its mouth to bite Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, it stopped in mid-air. The head was slowly lowered, and it squirmed cautiously, as if bowing to the two of them, and then the giant sea snake bent and retracted its body, and slowly retreated into the sea, and the sea gradually bulged out strange foam, and after ten or so seconds, the bodies of the two pirates were thrown up and thrown at the mouth of the sea cave, and the head of the giant sea snake was also hanging on the shore. The two of them stared at the mouth of the sea cave.
"Crazy Gu......" Tang Shuxing lay there with his head held high, looking at the head of the sea snake. Damn, what did you just do? Why didn't that thing bite us? β
"I don't know." Gu Huaiyi stared at the sea snake expressionlessly, and then thought of something, and struggled to retreat. dragged Tang Shuxing into the sea cave. With Ji Kefeng, Coconut Mulberry and others. He looked around in the sea cave, touched it, and said for a long time. "I didn't do anything, this giant sea snake is not afraid of us, but of the owner of this cave, right?"
"The master of the cave?" Ji Kefeng also looked around at the cave, "What is the owner of this cave?" β
Coconut Sang and the two pirates thought of the answer, but they didn't dare to say it, after all, they couldn't believe it was the truth.
Tang Shuxing slapped the sand on his body and stood up, as soon as he stood up and turned his head, he saw a piece of scale armor embedded in the stone wall, and immediately stepped forward to pull it out, and finally used both hands and Ji Kefeng's help to pull out the thing, and the two of them also fell to the ground because they were too hard.
"This is ......" Ye Sang stepped forward to take the scales in Tang Shuxing's hand, but Tang Shuxing directly dodged it.
Tang Shuxing held the scale armor high and looked at it over and over, and Ji Kefeng also watched it carefully beside him, but Tang Shuxing was always worried that the treasure in his hand was taken away, but when Gu Huaiyi walked over, he handed over the scales and asked, "Gu Madman, do you know what this thing is?" β
"These are dragon scales, but not living dragon scales, dead dragon scales." Gu Huaiyi pointed to the edge of the scales and said, "The edge is completely black, but the bottom is cyan, which means that this is the dragon that fell off when he changed his armor, otherwise even if the dragon shuttles through this cave, it will not be scraped off." β
"Wait-" Tang Shuxing motioned for Gu Huaiyi not to say anything yet, and he looked around at the cave, "You mean...... This is the dragon's lair? Are you kidding? The outside is a giant sea snake, the inside is a dragon's den, and the snake outside is already terrifying, and when we encounter a dragon again, it is basically no different from a living sacrifice. β
"Look at the sea serpent." Ji Kefeng raised his head outside, "He killed those two brothers and threw them up, it looked like he was paying tribute to the dragon." β
Although it was uncomfortable for Ye Sang and the other two pirates to look at their brother's corpse, who would dare to collect it? Leaving this cave is a dead end, so I have to stand there and watch, and then kneel on the ground to say a final goodbye.
"This giant sea snake is smart." Gu Huaiyi smiled, and a smile finally appeared on his face, "First of all, dragons don't eat dead things, although dragons don't die immediately when they eat dead things, but they will also be addicted to it, just like people taking drugs, the boatload of walking corpses in the medicine money, plus the kind of disembowelment poison in the walking corpses, I think it is used to find the dragon and lead the dragon to slay the dragon." β
"I seeβthere really are dragons in this world?" Tang Shuxing shook his head and sighed, looking at the scale armor in his hand, "It turns out that the matter of collecting seven dragon balls and summoning divine dragons is fake!" Damn, I've been lied to for so many years! β
"Hey, you just crawled back from the line of life and death, and you're starting to be poor again, aren't you?" Ji Kefeng raised his hand and gave Tang Shu a punishment, "Let's go now!" Anyway, if you go back, you'll die, so let's go inside. β
Saying that, everyone bowed to the two corpses, which was regarded as a farewell, and then led by Gu Huaiyi, began to walk slowly towards the dragon cave, fortunately, there were that kind of sea lantern insects all around, and the cave was very bright, and they were not worried that something would suddenly attack and not be able to detect it.
While shuttling through the cave, Gu Huaiyi explained to others about the evolution of the legendary dragon - the water dragon evolved into a dragon in five hundred years, the Jiao changed into a dragon after a thousand years, and the dragon became a horned dragon after five hundred years, and the horned dragon became the final Ying dragon after a thousand years of tempering.
"Ying Long? How could it be so familiar? Tang Shuxing recalled as he walked, clapped his hands and said, "I know!" When I was a child, I read Dayu's comic book of water control - Dayu summoned Ying Long to open the mountain for him, and the picture album Ying Long has wings, and the appearance is similar to that of the dragon in the West, as if it can also spray water and fire. β
"Yes, or why do you say that the progress of human civilization is the same." Gu Huaiyi walked slowly in front, although the light was very sufficient, he still took it step by step, worried that something would happen, after all, this was the so-called dragon's lair, if something really came out, it would not be possible to prevent it, and everyone would have to die.
