Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Twisted Snake Face
"Swimming against the current, does that mean you're still ......?"
Tao Yuan muttered to himself, slowly closed his eyes, and when the pair of eyes like knives opened again, the confusion had disappeared, and only the compelling edge remained.
He endured the soreness of his skin, stood up against the stone wall, and slowly walked to the river.
Although it was late at night, the seven-colored mist became more and more obvious, and the river was like a rainbow.
The ordinary pebbles inside are like magnificent gems illuminated by the light, lingering with a ribbon, extending into the distance, like another galaxy.
Tao Yuan turned his head and walked in the direction of the current, where the loud bang had just come from.
Tao Yuan had heard that kind of muffled noise twice, and he decided to go and see what was going on there.
After walking about three or four hundred meters, the scenery around me became more and more familiar, this is the waterfall where the black shadow used to cause a flood in anger, but now it has become a pile of broken rocks, and the stream meanders through the rocks, silent.
Suddenly, the brilliance around him suddenly disappeared, and Tao Yuan felt as if he had broken through a membrane and was already in the dark.
Turning his head, the seven-colored mist was behind him.
"The range of the seven-colored mist has increased!"
Tao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he guessed that the loud bang might be caused by the expansion of the seven-colored mist space.
Turned around and returned to the mist, the stone cave where he escaped before had been tightly blocked by rocks, with his own flesh and blood, it was impossible to move those huge stones away, Tao Yuan gave up the idea of looking for Robert and others, climbed the rocks, returned to the flat stream, washed his face with clean water, and went against the current without looking back, he believed Ellie's words.
I don't know the sun and moon in the mountains, especially in this seven-colored misty jungle, there is not a big difference between daytime and night, so Tao Yuan travels day and night on the way, sleeping when he is tired, and looking for food when he is hungry.
Strange to say, the desert island beyond the seven-colored fog can be described as barren, and it is almost impossible to find food, but within this fog, there are abundant products.
Every time Tao Yuan goes to bed, he throws the casually made fish basket trap into the stream, and when he wakes up, there will inevitably be more or less fresh fish in it, but he doesn't worry about eating and drinking.
After walking for about seven or eight days, it was only noon, Tao Yuan felt tired, so he was about to build a bonfire and lie down to sleep, but he vaguely heard someone talking in the distance.
This made him suddenly lose his fatigue, and he sat up and listened intently in the direction of the sound. Seven or eight days alone in the jungle, even Tao Yuan's withdrawn character also felt lonely.
Experienced explorers often say:
"In the wilderness, it may be a beast or a hunger or fear that kills you, but either way, Loneliness is certainly an accomplice, or even the main culprit, involved. ”
Tao Yuan is no exception, he doesn't like to speak, but he can't do it for a few days without talking, which will dull his brain and even lose the ability to analyze.
During this time, he ate and hurried, ate when he was tired, ate and slept, did not look at the time, and did not even analyze the direction, but just walked against the stream, which was unconsciously caused by loneliness.
Aiming in the direction, Tao Yuan jumped up, bent his body low, like a cat, and cautiously walked towards the source of the sound.
In the case of uncertainty about safety, Tao Yuan instinctively hid himself, which was a subconscious behavior formed by professional training.
The flower grove on the bank of the stream here is not as dense as expected, only a few dozen meters away, and it has reached the edge of the forest, where the towering roots are covered with huge mushrooms.
Tao Yuan crouched under a mushroom taller than a human and looked out through the crack in the tree.
I saw that the scenery outside the forest had completely changed its appearance, and there were huge strange rocks everywhere, one after the other, like the surface of the moon, and the sparse vegetation grew one by one among the strange rocks, listless.
In this seven-colored mist with such vigorous vitality, it was the first time Tao Yuan had seen such a situation.
He didn't see anyone, but the voice grew clearer.
Judging by the words, it was clear that those people were among the great boulders.
"These huge stones were supposed to be habitable houses and stone forts, but for some reason most of them were destroyed. ”
This is Vanessa's voice.
"What else can it be, it must be caused by age, weathering and corrosion. ”
Jiry's voice followed.
"It's definitely not caused by weathering and corrosion, you see these fractured wounds, there is not the slightest roundness, it must be caused by external forces. ”
Vanessa retorted.
Laura's voice was also mixed in:
"I visited the dungeons of Derinkuyu a few months ago, and I thought the landscape, and even the stone buildings, resembled the volcanic sedimentary rocks that lay above the dungeons of Derinkuyu. ”
The underground stone city of Derinkuyu is a big mystery to the archaeological community, because in the underground city, scientists have found Stone Age tools, but the Stone Age people are obviously not capable of building such a large underground city, you know, it can easily accommodate 15,000 people.
Tao Yuan hid under the mushrooms, and was not in a hurry to go out, looking forward to seeing people when he was lonely, but when a group of people appeared, Tao Yuan's loneliness disappeared in an instant.
Laura's words Tao Yuan was more in favor of in his heart, because he had been there on a mission back then, and he had a deep memory of the dungeon of Dailin Kuyu.
"Ahh
"What's that?"
"Climb up, O God. ”
"Help me, my legs don't have any strength, they're soft. ”
The people who were still studying these stone forts exclaimed almost at the same time, obviously in great danger.
Tao Yuan immediately held his breath because he smelled a thick fishy smell.
"The smell of anacondas. ”
For Tao Yuan, who had been lost in the rainforest for nearly three months, the taste was all too familiar.
As soon as he raised his hand, the knife between the fingers had appeared between the two fingers, and the little finger of his left hand hooked on the wrist guard, and the slender metal wire hung on the fingertips.
It was completely unnecessary to hide his body, Tao Yuan stood up softly, and after flashing out the huge mushroom, through the cracks in the trees, he finally saw the big guy that was more than ten meters long and had blue-black scales all over his body, and at the same time, he also saw the people who climbed a strange rock.
The stone was seven or eight meters high, not big at the top, like a small flat-topped pyramid, and more than a dozen people were huddled together almost foot by foot, and more than ten meters below them, the huge blue-black python was tilting its head to look at everyone.
Tao Yuan's location is on the side in the middle of the two, and the two scenes can be seen clearly.
He knew very well that the height of the stone where Laura and the others were located could not dodge the python's attack at all, and the only way for them to survive was to find a strange rock that they could dodge, and then use the fastest speed to lure away the python, and then climb on the stone that could dodge.
Soon, he found the stone he needed, the stone was complex in shape, and the whole body was covered with stalagmite-like forks, which made the stone as if it were a natural ladder, easy to climb, but those stalagmites were like thorns for pythons, and they could not be entangled.
Finding a suitable place to hide, Tao Yuan once again aimed his eyes at the python's head, he wanted to find the thermostat on the side of the thing's head, and then exploded it with a knife, which was a groove like an ear.
However, before he could see the groove, he was attracted by the strange expression of the giant python.
It is unimaginable that a giant python would have such a rich expression.
It was as if it was suffering from some kind of extreme painful contradiction, so much so that the face became distorted.
Its head, in particular, has been swaying back and forth, left and right, as if there is an invisible rope wrapped around its neck, pulling at it, and it is struggling to resist.
This is nothing, what makes Tao Yuan's heart chill even more is that the eyes of this giant python are clear and deep, flashing with a light that only human eyes can have.
That's wisdom......
