Several people were very fast, and they ran wildly towards the entrance of the cave, and in less than five minutes, they were out of the cave.

"Captain Hao, what should I do?" Wu Yuhui gasped and looked at the cave with a nervous expression.

"Call the local police first......" he took out his phone and glanced at it, "Oops, no signal - look at your phones?" ”

We also took out our phones.

"Nope!"

"No signal at all!"

Hao Minyuan smiled bitterly: "I'm also stupid - this is the deep mountains and old forests, where is the signal, I should have thought of this, just prepare a satellite phone earlier!" ”

"After entering the forest, I have been walking for three hours, if I return at this time...... It takes at least seven or eight hours to go back and forth, which is too time-consuming and physically demanding! ”

Hao Minyuan also seemed hesitant.

As soon as Mr. Feng rushed out of the cave, the person squatted on the side of the rock, and at this time he coughed twice: "The police are of little use, we all understand how they died, is it possible to arrest the murderer and sentence him?" Behold! Let's do this first, when we come back, go to the local police station to explain the situation - a few days earlier, a few days later doesn't make much sense. ”

Hao Minyuan nodded: "It makes sense - but what should this kid do?" Hao Minyuan pointed to the old man's stupid son.

"Take it! You can't throw it here. ”

After speaking, Teacher Feng slowly stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, and looked inside.

"This cave is shady, damp, with fertile soil and vegetation, and it is really a paradise for snakes or centipedes......

Xiao He walked to Teacher Feng's side: "Teacher, I also took zoology when I was in college, we are located in the north temperate zone, theoretically there is no big snake more than ten meters!" ”

Teacher Feng smiled slightly: "You must know that the knowledge learned in books belongs to 'ordinary knowledge', just like saying that the average man will not be more than two meters tall - isn't there also an unusual Yao Ming?" In fact, there have been people in history who are more than three meters tall, which is the same as the size of a snake. ”

"Teacher Feng means that when certain conditions are reached, a giant snake of more than ten meters may also grow in temperate areas?"

Teacher Feng nodded: "It's not possible, but it must be ......."

Of all the ophiae, the longest snake species is found in the web python of Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

They are all over 6.10 meters long. In 1912, near a palm mine off the northern coast of Sulawesi in the Malay Archipelago, a python was shot and killed, its length was accurately measured to be 9.99 meters.

It has been claimed that anacondas in the equatorial zone of South America can reach 11.43 meters or even 13.71 meters long, but these surprisingly large data may have been measured after straightening the snakeskin, which is inaccurate.

According to reliable records, the maximum length of the green anaconda is 8.46 meters, the weight is 226.80 kilograms, and the body circumference is 111.76 centimeters. These data were obtained after measuring a female forest worm that had been killed in Brazil around 1960.

After 1980, there was news that in 1997, a recorded South American anaconda was found in Brazil, with a length of up to 18.9 meters, but this record has not been confirmed, and there is no clear record in the literature, it is likely to be just a rumor, but the largest anaconda that has been confirmed at present can reach 8.9 meters in length, which is much larger than the previously found 8.46 meters long anaconda.

Of course, some people say that there are giant snakes with a length of more than 20 meters living in the Amazon rainforest - what is even more outrageous is that it is rumored that a giant snake with a length of more than 100 meters was caught in Xidan Park in Beijing in the last century, and even used the army to catch this snake......

These rumors are nothing short of a joke.

Beijing Xidan Park is only a few miles away from the downtown area, if such a huge snake has really been found, Beijing Bai surnamed will not know?

It can be seen that it is pure nonsense.

Teacher Feng smiled slightly, and continued: "It is true that the living snake with a length of more than ten meters has not been discovered yet, but ...... However, several snake bones over 20 meters in length have been found, the most recent of which died in the early part of the last century. ”

As soon as Teacher Feng finished speaking, Wu Yuhui asked softly, "Have you heard of Candle Jiuyin?" ”

Teacher Feng was the first to nod: "The ancient candle dragon recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" you said? ”

Candle Jiuyin, one of the ancient Chinese creation gods, is a mythical beast in ancient Chinese mythology, also known as Candle Yin, also written as Dragon. His skin was reddish-brown, with a human face and a dragon body, and a candle in his mouth, which was illuminated in the shadows of the northwest.

Legend has it that Candle Jiuyin has two eyes, one "own eye" and one "yin eye", the yin eye is connected to hell, and if you look at it, you will be possessed by evil spirits, and over time it will become a monster with a human head and a snake body.

Candle Jiuyin lives in the extremely cold land of the north, and is extremely powerful, as long as its eyes are opened, the dark night becomes day; As soon as its eyes closed, day turned back to night. When it blows, the clouds are thick, and the snow is heavy, and it becomes winter; Exhale and immediately the red sun is scorching, flowing gold and stones, and it becomes summer.

It is always crouching there, not eating, not drinking, not sleeping, not breathing, because when it breathes, it becomes a long wind. Its divine power can shine under the nine springs, and it is said that it often contains a candle to shine in the gloomy gate of heaven in the north, so people call it "candle yin" again.

Of course, there should not be a candle in real history, but according to some ancient records, in the primitive society, the tribes living in the Dabie Mountains liked to catch a big snake in the cracks under the mountain stream, and then refined snake oil for lighting.

Snakes like to live in cold and damp places, maybe there are really big snakes that have not been discovered! ”

Hao Minyuan took a few photos around the cave's entrance, and then took out the map drawn by Lao Sinan again.

"Look! Is this the mountain in front of you? "Ambiguous 43

Hao Minyuan pointed to a sign on the map with a small triangle drawn, and I noticed that there were two vaguely recognizable Chinese characters written next to the small triangle - "snake hole", and there was a curved dotted line on the west side of the small triangle.

Teacher Feng straightened his glasses: "If the 'small triangle' represents the mountain peak in front of you, then what is the dotted line on the west side?" Could it be a river? ”

Several of us nodded at the same time.

Wu Yuhui stood on the big stone on one side, stood on tiptoe, looked over the west side, and then spread his hands towards us: "There are too many trees, blocking the view, and you can't see anything." ”

Hao Minyuan smiled slightly: "Anyway, we have to bypass this mountain, so let's go around it from the west!" ”

I don't know if I was stopped by Hao Minyuan's two feet, after the stupid son got out of the cave, the person became wooden and honest, just stared blankly at the cave, didn't say a word, and his face was expressionless.

Just in case, Hao Minyuan tied one end of the rope to his stupid son's wrist, and the other end to his own wrist, and the group headed west along the turquoise peak.

"Brother Minyuan, do you think Bo Lao Wu and the two of them have already planned it?"

Hao Minyuan and I each led a donkey, chatting as we walked.

"I guess so! Looking at their tacit understanding, I don't know how many times I've done it, but this time there was an accident! After speaking, Hao Minyuan sneered.

"You said they didn't know there were giant snakes in the cave before?"

Hao Minyuan pondered for a moment: "I shouldn't know!" Otherwise, it will not be in vain. ”

"And this was an accident?"

Teacher Feng, who was walking on the other side of me, interjected: "It's not necessarily all an accident, maybe it's ...... Maybe it's the smell or the sound that drew the serpent......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao He, who was riding on the donkey, interjected again: "From the time we heard the screams to the time we rushed over, it didn't take more than five minutes, the snake's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it must be able to sense the existence of the five of us, such a big snake, how can eating two people satisfy the appetite!" ”

Teacher Feng nodded: "That makes sense!" At that time, I also wondered, we all went to the bottom of the snake cave, and the giant snake hid as if it was afraid of us. ”

Xiao He asked rhetorically: "Teacher Feng, do you mean that the snake may be afraid of the five of us?" This...... This shouldn't be! ”

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of something in one of us, like realgar or something."

"All I have on me is my phone and a dagger, apart from my clothes and jewelry." Xiao He touched his pocket and replied.

Wu Yuhui also spread his hands: "I'm cleaner than you, I don't even have jewelry!" ”

Teacher Feng and Hao Minyuan also explained that there should be nothing special on them, and then several people looked at me.

"I don't seem to have any ...... on me" As soon as he spoke, he found out the strange pendant that the fortune teller gave to him on the plane before. Could it be that this thing blesses us? That's not!

Don't......

Another possibility occurred to me.

Natal Gu?

It's strange to say, since I was attacked by a dwarf monster in the dormitory of the water conservancy station, the natal Gu in my belly has never communicated with me again, the dwarf monster and the human-faced black cat died after I fainted, the cause of death was a hole in the heart, but there was no wound on the surface of the body, and I concluded that this was done by the natal Gu at that time.

But at that time, no matter how I echoed it, Natal Gu just didn't respond, and several days had passed in a blink of an eye.

Natal Gu can be called the king of ten thousand Gu, and the so-called Gu worms are actually cultivated through various poisonous insects. On that day, the giant snake he saw in Qilijing was more than fifteen meters, and although Hao Minyuan was also present at that time, he had already fainted when the black snake crawled out of the well, so he had never seen it with his own eyes from beginning to end.

That snake was a snake Gu - that is, a snake cultivated by the people of the old Miao tribe using Gu magic.

If you have to find something from me that scares the giant snake, it should be the natal Gu in my belly.

"You...... You okay? ”

I hurriedly used the language of thought to communicate with the natal Gu.

What makes me happy is that this time the Natal Gu has a response: "I don't know if it's good, at least I'm still alive!" ”

"Hurt?"

"It's not to save you! I didn't have the strength to reply to you a few days ago, and I'm still very weak now, and I need to take a lot of yin poison to recover. ”

"That'...... What do I need to do? ”

"You've got to take me to the cave just now, I'm going to have a big meal......"
