"A giant anaconda that used to live in a reservoir? How big can it be? ”

I don't know why, when Lao Fei mentioned the words snake and reservoir, I couldn't help but think of the snake that made waves in the reservoir.

"Yes, it's a little big...... "Old Fat said uncertainly.

"How big is some big?" I frowned and continued to ask.

"At least someone has to be thick, because it was so thick twenty years ago, and now I don't know what has become of it." Old Fat pouted.

"Looks like I was right to bring the corpse nail."

Yan Xiaoying muttered, "I thought before, if this place is exactly the same as the Heavenly Mountain where you are located, maybe there will be snakes as well. However, according to what Lao Fei said just now, this big snake has not evolved to the level of a snake, but it cannot be underestimated. After all, the strength of such a big snake must be very terrifying, and I am afraid it can be compared to the six-winged centipede king. ”

"What? So powerful? "I opened my mouth wide in disbelief.

"A snake that can grow so big? Where are the mundane? ”

Yan Xiaoying said: "Instead of calling Qi a big snake, it is better to call Qi a snake demon, because ordinary snakes definitely can't grow so big, and they don't have such a long lifespan, this kind of snake is already considered an alien species, and the same as the six-winged centipede king, beyond the ordinary category, they absorb the aura of heaven and earth all year round, and have evolved into a kind of existence like a spirit." ”

She paused, then continued, "As far as I know, there are only one in ten thousand animals that can evolve into spirits, so spirits are rare; But there are only tens of thousands of creatures in the world, and naturally there are some creatures that are blessed with unique nature, and they become spirits by chance. The puppy you adopted in the Mountain Temple, I think it has the potential to become a spirit. There is also the little red snake parasitic in your body, which is already this kind of existence. ”

"Man is also an animal, but he is quite intelligent in comparison. If human beings can cultivate and learn the Dao, why can't other animals? ”

Yan Xiaoying said very reasonably, which also gave me a deeper understanding of the world of Yin people.

"To put it that way, this snake demon is quite troublesome. If it is really as powerful as a six-winged centipede, if it encounters it, we may not be able to beat it, and it may even be life-threatening. I muttered.

"Indeed, although I brought a highly poisonous corpse poison nail, it is estimated that it is difficult to find a chance to enter its body, and in your conjuring flag, the second master and Xiaoling have not moved, and it is estimated that it is impossible for them to come out to help......"

"Afraid of what? Didn't you just say that there is a little red snake in Lao Yan's body? Just let it come out and fight the snake demon. "Old Fat Road.

"It's ......" I touched my chest and said with a wry smile: "This little red snake is an accident, it may not be able to listen to me, but if my life is in danger, it should come out, right?" After all, we all belong to the same life, and if I die, it will not survive. ”

"That's okay, don't worry too much. As far as I know, there is a natural enemy of the snake demon in the depths of this cave. The old fat laughed.

"The natural predator of the snake demon?"

Yan Xiaoying and I were surprised and asked, "What is that?" ”

"Bats!"

Old Fat said.

"Bats?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you before? There is a very powerful vampire bat here, and there is a bat king in the depths of the cave. When Lao Feng and the others went in, it was because of the battle between the Bat King and the snake demon that they were able to escape. Lao Fei said.

Yan Xiaoying frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to what you say, we have to be more careful than happy. Because the danger of this cave has increased a little more, if we encounter any of them alone, it can be dangerous. ”

"At night, bats are the most active and aggressive. Looks like we'll have to wait until noon tomorrow to get in, so it's safest. ”

"Don't bother, right? You've come here, and you have to wait until noon tomorrow? Lao Fei said impatiently.

"It's not a question of trouble or not, the main thing is safety first, if you lose your life, what's the use of being able to enter the secret realm?"

Yan Xiaoying continued in a cold voice: "Besides, you all have reasons for entering the secret realm, one is to find your lost father, and the other is to find the traces of your wife. But I don't want to go in with you to die, so I have to be careful. ”

When Lao Fei and I heard Yan Xiaoying's words, we couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Indeed, Yan Xiaoying has no obligation to accompany us into the adventure, even including the antidote to the snake riot in the reservoir, the antidote to the ghost lantern in the underground burial lake, and the matter of Longyi Village, she could have stayed out of it, but she still participated, and was in danger several times.

"We all listen to you."

Eventually, I broke the silence and nodded to Yan Xiaoying.

"I knew I was going to spend the night here, so I brought the rest of the dog meat, and I didn't want to nibble on that dry coarse grain......" Lao Fei complained.

"If you still want to eat dog meat, you can hunt it yourself, because they have followed us here." Yan Xiaoying said lightly.

"What? You say they're coming with us? ”

The old fat man was taken aback, looked left and right, and wondered: "Why didn't I find it?" ”

"Stealth and stealth is what a hunter should do, if it is so easy for you to spot, can they still survive in this area?"

Yan Xiaoying shook her head and continued, "I told you before, if we kill their companions, they won't let us go so easily, although it will deter them, but it will make them hate us more and more. Especially the old fat you...... I guess they won't let you go, right? ”

When the old fat heard this, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "Isn't it just killing a wild dog?" It's so troublesome, really. ”

"In your eyes, they may be just a wild dog, but in their eyes they are companions." Yan Xiaoying said: "Don't think that animals are cold-blooded, in fact, they also have feelings." Dogs, in particular, can be loyal to humans, but they can also betray humans, and even hate ......"

I am not surprised by what Yan Xiaoying said.

Although there was no sign of the wolfdog trailing, we could always feel that something was trailing behind us.

I've always chosen to believe in how I feel.

"In this way, we are in a dilemma with a tiger in front and a wolf in the back?" The old fat was stunned.

"It's not a dilemma, these wolf dogs are not a threat to us, I'm afraid that they are lying dormant in the dark, waiting for the opportunity, the frontal threat is not terrible, the sneak attack in the dark is the deadliest, let's have a snack." Yan Xiaoying said lightly.

"The terrain of this cave is good, it is surrounded by rocks, even if the wolf dog sneaks attack, we can react as soon as possible, let's spend the night here tonight."

I sighed lightly, snatched the machete from Lao Fei's hand and said, "You guys arrange it here, I'll go find some firewood nearby and come back to keep warm!" ”

To survive in the wild, fire is the best talisman and is essential.

"Be careful." Yan Xiaoying reminded loudly.

"Don't worry!"

I nodded, and immediately came out of the cave, flashlight and searched for dry wood nearby.

There were no accidents during this process, and no trace of the wolfdogs was found.

They are so hidden that even I can't find them, let alone the careless guy Fatty.

But I could feel their hateful gaze as they hibernated nearby, peering at us in the dark.

After collecting dry firewood, the three of them lit a bonfire under the entrance of the stone cave and gathered together to keep warm, and it was about eight o'clock in the evening.

For contemporary young people, this time is still very early, and we naturally have no sleepiness, and the three of us chatted with each other.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the moon gradually rose from the other side of the hill.

There were dark clouds in the night sky, and the moonlight was hazy, probably because of the fog.

At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the dark stone cave.

In the silence of the night, the strange sound coming from the cave was extremely clear, and we listened carefully and found that it was the sound of flapping wings.

Sure enough, after a while, we saw several black shadows flapping their wings and flying out of it.

It's a couple of bats, flying in the dark, not really visible, about the size of a palm.

Several black shadows circled above us a few times before flying out of the cave and disappearing into the darkness.

"Tianyan, do you see clearly?"

Of the three, my eyesight was the most powerful, so Yan Xiaoying asked me if I could see what kind of bat it was.

"It's flying too fast to see clearly!"

"But they seem to be much bigger than normal bats, and they have no hair all over their bodies, like newborn chicks." ”

After a pause, I continued: "Vampire bats are rare, and as far as I know, all vampire bats are not very large, and their maximum weight does not exceed 40 grams. Because the more they weigh, the more blood they need to suck, and the more likely they are to go hungry. Like the ones that flew out just now, they must weigh at least half a catty, right? It's the first time I've seen such a big vampire bat, and I've never heard of it before. ”

"You know a lot." The old fat pouted.

I smiled and said, "This is the advantage of reading a few more years of books, although they are all theoretical knowledge and the content recorded in the book, but it is better than nothing." ”

"Depending on what you mean, these may not be vampire bats, or they may be blood-sucking, but they may also eat other things, which is why they grow so big." Yan Xiaoying speculated.

I gave Yan Xiaoying a thumbs up and said, "I also speculated like this, Xiaoying, you have such a smart brain, it's a pity not to study, with your IQ, I feel that if you keep studying, I guess you will have to get at least a doctorate, right?" ”

I slapped Yan Xiaoying's ass without moving, and I was so shocked that the old fat next to me showed an expression of adoration.

Yan Xiaoying didn't show any expression on her face for my compliment, and continued: "It seems that these are not ordinary bats. ”

"That's natural, none, hairy bats, rare." I said.

As we spoke, more than a dozen bats swept out of the cave, and it seemed that there were many such bats in the cave.

Thanks to the notes left by the old fat father, otherwise if we recklessly enter it, it is estimated that we will suffer.

As far as I know, vampire bats feed not only on the blood of animals and livestock, but also occasionally on human blood, and it may not be fatal to be sucked by them.

However, bats carry viruses and bacteria on their teeth, and a bite from them is more dangerous than a bite from a wolfdog.

Moreover, a bat may not be able to suck the blood of a human body, but what about tens of thousands?

It seems that Yan Xiaoying's decision is very correct, judging from the current situation, this stone cave is obviously a bat cave, and there are definitely not a few vampire bats in it.
