Chapter 183: The Terrifying Gods

Put on a mask and continue to search for boxes, there is a bag of peach slice cake at the bottom, a set of Da Song EDC equipment designed by Su You.

Multi-purpose folding knife imitation of Swiss Army knife, tool card, brass fire fold, folding leather funnel, treble whistle.

Tools, fire, drinking water. Solve these three problems, and your chances of survival will be greatly increased.

Turn the bookbox upside down, the four corners of the bookbox are purple lacquer bamboo tube frames, scrape the surface paint layer with a folding knife, and there are seams on the bamboo tube.

Pry open the seams and remove four steel pipes from the inside.

The steel pipe is not long, only half a foot, and looks like a large firecracker.

It's actually a large firecracker, but the shell is made of red-hot iron wrapped around a round iron rod.

There is also a copper pipe made by the same method, between the steel pipe and the copper pipe, there are scrap steel balls, and inside the copper pipe, there is black powder.

The recipe for black powder is known to anyone who has gone to middle school as one of the four great inventions of traditional China.

But the urine of the black powder of the Great Song Dynasty made Su Youdan hurt, so he sacrificed the old three magic weapons - more refined, finer, and purer.

The sulfur removes soluble impurities by the fly method, and then gives an extremely fine pure powder.

The fire nitrate takes the ready-made fire nitrate of the Great Song Dynasty, melts it into a solution, and then filters, removes impurities, and crystallizes step by step to obtain potassium nitrate crystals of maximum purity.

The soot is rinsed with concentrated sulfuric acid, and then a large amount of wood powder left in it is carbonized, and then rinsed and dried.

The three kinds of powder are sieved to obtain a uniform fine powder, and then according to the test ratio, mixed with egg white, put into the pump cylinder where the thinnest refill is made, extruded into thin strips, and when it is semi-dry, cut into small particles.

Send it to a cool place in a clean environment, and after the egg whites are dry, the strongest black powder in the Great Song Dynasty is now born.

Originally, black powder was qualified as a propellant, and it was almost hot as an explosive, but this thing made by Su You is already a modern concept of black powder, and its power is far from being comparable to the gunpowder full of impurities and unknown formula in the Great Song Dynasty today.

The tube is bolted at both ends, and there is a small hole at one end, which is plugged into the fire twist.

When the back mountain of Kelongli was developed, Su You took Zhang Zao to tie them up a few times, and the paper shell and the effect of fried stones were leveraged, but they were severely reprimanded and forbidden to be used by Hachiko.

The reason is very simple, the firecrackers are so loud that the chickens and ducks are so scared that you don't lay eggs.

After many improvements, Su You made a few such things on this trip.

This and the hemp rope ballista are two concepts, Su You only let Li tie it to make a shell, and the rest are used in person.

No one knew that a very powerful bomb had been quietly born in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Su You didn't dare to expose it, let alone go deep into a foreign country, and even in the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't dare to show it at will.

The real militaristic heavy weapon, his strength is so weak, coupled with the virtue of the Great Song Doctor, if he is known by the Western Xia of the Liao State, then he will really cry blind.

Therefore, this trip has been hidden in this special bookcase as a last resort for self-defense.

There is also a screw cap seal on the outside of the steel pipe, which can only reveal the fire twist inside after unscrewing, which can usually be moisture-proof.

Unscrewing the lid of one of them, and burning the fire fold again, Su You took advantage of the glimmer of light coming from the entrance of the cave and began to explore the cave.

The place just now was a small open area with a tunnel leading deep into the mountain.

Holding a steel pipe in one hand and a fire breaker in the other, Su You cautiously walked towards the cave.

The tunnel is very clean, not high, two people can enter side by side, so many years of human sacrifice, actually did not leave any traces at the entrance of the cave.

Along the cave facing inward, walking seven or eight meters, the passage suddenly became open, and there was a space of several hundred square meters here.

It turned out that the whole cave was like a slender waist gourd with a small front and a large back.

Only part of the large cavern was covered by a glimmer of light, and most of the remaining half of the cavern was shrouded in darkness, as if leading to a deep hell.

In addition to the bamboo couch and wooden couch that carried people during the sacrifice, this hall is full of piles of dry bones.

The sudden scene startled Su You, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered by boundless anger.

The dry bones were very small, and the skulls were special, not adults, there were at least a dozen corpses here, all of them children.

Su You took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and squatted down at the nearest dry bone from the passage, and looked carefully.

A boy, wearing a strange mask, crouched next to the dry bones of another child, staring earnestly at it. This scene, if there are others present, I am afraid that it will feel creepy.

There are a lot of strange things about this skeleton.

He was still covered with some of his former clothes, which showed signs of corrosion.

The same goes for skulls and phalanges.

I picked up the slices of a bamboo mat, picked up the broken pieces of clothing, arm bones, leg bones, and no broken bones, and there were no traces of tearing.

However, several ribs were broken, and it seems that he had been hit hard before his death.

Su You inspected two dry bones nearby, both of which were in a similar situation.

Stand up and look at the entire cavern as far as you can see, there is no trace of blood.

It's a really weird situation.

While there was still some light, Su You hurried to collect the broken bamboo mats, wooden frames, bamboo poles, and broken futons in the cave and transported them to the small cave outside.

Most of them have decayed, but many are still usable.

Hang the damp bamboo and wood in a dry place at the entrance of the cave, pick up a few stones to build a small fire pit, and then go to the entrance of the copper gate to find some dry sand and spread it, and set up a small firewood pile.

After getting ready, Su You found a bamboo pole, smashed one end with a stone, and then used a folding knife to divide the front of the bamboo pole into bamboo pieces along the cracked place, sandwiched some rags and bamboo straw, lit it and re-entered the cave.

With the torch lighting, the Great Cave can be seen clearly.

There are a lot of stone stalactites at the bottom of the cave, which is much damper than the front hall.

There was a pool of spring water at the bottom of the cave, and Su You reached out to probe, and the temperature was five or six degrees higher than the estimated temperature of the body surface.

The water is so clear that you can see a few scattered children's bones at the bottom of the rocks in the pool.

There is an exit under the water at the bottom of the cave that leads to the mountain.

Stood up, the fire shining on the other side.

Between a few stalactites, a huge black object lay across it, and Su You's heart jumped violently.

He finally understood what kind of terrifying creatures the so-called gods in the cave were.

This is a snake molt, the molt of a huge and terrifying serpent!

Everything makes sense, big snakes such as pythons and pythons generally entangle their prey after catching it and retract it forcefully, suffocating it to death.

Then feel the temperature and heartbeat of the prey through the body.

It is determined that after death, the prey, regardless of its size, is swallowed without chewing.

This way of swallowing pythons is mainly due to the special structure of their jaws. Their jaws are made up of two parts that are independent of each other and can swallow prey that is much larger than their bodies.

It is completely possible to imagine the tragic situation in the cave at that time, the giant snake came out of the hole at the bottom of the cave, swam out of the hot spring, probed the unconscious children with the unique heat-sensitive organs of snakes, and then bit them, wrapped around their bodies, and suffocated them, which is why Su You saw many dry bones and ribs being crushed and broken.

When the child stops breathing, the serpent begins to swallow the child slowly from the head or feet.

After a long period of digestion, the snake will spit out the remaining bones from its stomach, which is why Su You saw that the bones and clothes were corroded, which was the result of the stomach acid of the big snake.

The snake is so big that there may also be fish and amphibians in the underground river in the cave, and it is not short of food.

In addition, there are hot springs here, and it doesn't even need to hibernate, so it grows so insanely that the incomplete snake molt that Su You saw was more than seven meters long, and the widest part could easily wrap an adult.

It is estimated that there is no other big exit from this cave, and once the door of the cave is opened, it is trapped here.

The python is nocturnal, and the sun does not see the light of day in the cave, and the devil knows when it will swim out of the hole at the bottom of the cave.

This thing is good at climbing, and the children who are used as sacrifices, not to mention are still unconscious, even if they are awake, in the locked bronze door and the black cavern, they cannot escape the pursuit of the giant python that hunts with heat-sensitive organs.

Perhaps, the bowl of medicine given to them by the Great Witch is really a mercy.

The serpent is not in the cave now, but according to the Great Witch, no animal can escape for three days, that is, if it comes, it will always come.

It is necessary to start setting up right away.
