Chapter 56: The Ancient Coffin Burial Python
Looking back and forth at the blood pool and the dark cave, Zhou Fan fell into confusion again, he couldn't enter or retreat now, walking forward was a dark and endless passage, and retreating was a strange underground space.
Although the four coffins were quiet, it didn't mean that they weren't in danger, and he didn't plan to go back to them, Zhou Fan took a deep breath and shook his head vigorously, looking at the passage with a firm gaze.
After making up his mind, he walked slowly into the passage, and the further he went, the fog became thicker, and the flames from the torches were eroded by the thick fog.
Since the fog itself is made up of water vapor, the fog will be thick enough to carry a certain amount of moisture in the air, and the torch will be eroded by this thick fog, and the fire will become more and more dim.
Zhou Fan had to stop and refill the torch with gasoline, just when he stopped and was about to pour gasoline on the torch, his ankle was entangled in something, and the torch in Zhou Fan's hand fell to the ground instantly, and it happened that the falling torch was hitting the thing that was pulling Zhou Fan.
Originally, his ankle was entangled by something unknown, and he had a faint pain, but he was hit by a falling torch, and the thing that was entangled in Zhou Fan shrank back in an instant, and Zhou Fan was trying to take a good look at what was entangled in him but disappeared the end of that thing.
"What's going on, what's so powerful?" Zhou Fan couldn't see what was entangled in his ankle, but he was still afraid for a while, leaned down and picked up the torch that fell to the ground and poured some gasoline.
I had time to rub my ankle, that thing just now was simply not the force that a human can emit, and an ordinary person would not have such a great force to grab another person's ankle, and he couldn't get such a sharp pain.
Just now, Zhou Fan could obviously feel the things that were entangled in him, and he was about to break the bones of his ankles, and the torches were burning faintly, Zhou Fan looked at the dark and boundless passage and felt a little scared.
He felt the gloomy, violent aura when he didn't enter the passage, and now he was suddenly entangled by something unknown, which made him feel even more frightened, and rubbed his ankle again, feeling that the pain was not so strong anymore.
He suddenly remembered a creature that was very in line with that breath, that is, the "python" had to make Zhou Fan so suspicious, the python was regarded as a mascot in ancient tombs.
Zhou Fan remembered that in the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a small country took the python as their totem god, and the princes of that country would bury two coffins when they were buried, one was themselves, and the other would look for a big python to accompany them to the burial.
Legend has it that after the python was buried, the original owner could fly with the python, and the owner of the python would also follow the Tao, but this small country did not exist for long before it was destroyed by the war at that time.
Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many countries appeared, and (Tomb Robbery Notes) was one of them, and the King of Lu at that time was a professional grave digging team of the Lu State.
led the state's public funds to dig graves everywhere, and he dug up the ancient tomb where a python was buried in the coffin, and the python would also spit out words, but this is only a legend, although Zhou Fan has seen records in ancient books, but he will not believe it.
It's just that now he was a little skeptical, with the strength and winding feeling just now, ninety percent of it was a python, and apart from that creature, he couldn't think of anything that could have such a powerful winding force.
Besides, when the thing was wrapping around him, he felt the cold chill coming from the thing, like the feeling of a popsicle wrapped around you.
Whether it is a python or a snake they are low-temperature creatures, they need enough sunlight to maintain the temperature of their bodies, pythons and snakes can go all year round without sunlight, but then their bodies will be extremely cold.
They will enter that state when they hibernate and can go without sun for most of the year, but now this is a burial pit, if there is really a snake or python, Zhou Fan can't think of anything else besides that legend.
Snakes and pythons are both dark creatures, but don't look at them dark, they are dark creatures but don't like darkness, unlike centipedes, pythons and snakes need sunlight, such a dark and damp burial pit, Zhou Fan believes that no pythons and snakes will drill into this for no reason.
"What would it be if it weren't for a python? What the hell is it, grass .. .. I didn't let people live. Zhou Fan couldn't figure it out when he reached the blind spot, and after scolding him fiercely, he simply didn't care what it was.
Gu Jian threw it down and plunged it into the ground, and his free hand reached into the backpack and didn't know what was being upside down: "See if you dare to come, and if you come again, you will be able to shed your skin." ”
Reflecting the dim firelight, Zhou Fan's hand stretched out of his backpack, and suddenly he was holding a packet of realgar powder, which was an indispensable thing for camping.
After all, they are often outdoors, snakes and pythons also meet a lot, realgar powder can disperse snakes, so they naturally bring a lot, although pythons are more resistant to realgar than ordinary snakes, but it will also play a little deterrent effect.
Zhou Fan opened the realgar and sprinkled some on his body and smeared it on the sword, before putting the remaining realgar into his pocket, pulling out the ancient sword and walking towards the passage again.
Walking slowly in the dark passage, Zhou Fan heard "Click. The footsteps echoed step by step, echoing in the empty passage, and Zhou Fan didn't know how long he had walked.
Time is good for him, as if it no longer exists, holding a torch in one hand and an ancient sword in the other, his footsteps are still firm. The sound of "click" seemed to pull Zhou Fan's whole person into a dream, and now Zhou Fan was like a walking corpse, walking in this silent and empty passage.
The sound of "hiss" suddenly sounded, but it also brought Zhou Fan, who was confused, back to reality, "What's going on with me?" How long have I been gone? Zhou Fan, who came back to his senses, suddenly felt a burst of exhaustion, and the soreness from his legs made him shake for a while, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from falling down because of exhaustion, and it was relieved after taking a deep breath.
At this time, he fixed his mind and raised his left hand to look: "Hiss" couldn't help but gasp, but it was good to see that there was a wave of footsteps again: "How is it possible, could it be that I have been walking all this time." ”
Seeing the time displayed on the watch at 21:30, Zhou Fan looked frightened, no wonder Zhou Fan was so surprised, from the time God blessed them to leave, to the time when he went down the cave, it was more than eight o'clock in the morning, that is to say, Zhou Fan walked from eight o'clock in the morning to more than nine o'clock in the evening, a full thirteen hours.
Looking at the time of the watch, Zhou Fan swallowed his saliva and still didn't believe it, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone that was almost out of battery and looked at it, and found that the time was really twenty-one thirty minutes, and after getting the definite answer, the muscles on Zhou Fan's face couldn't help twitching, and he didn't know what he was thinking with an ugly look.
"What the hell is going on, why have I been gone for so long, is it Yingfu?" Zhou Fan already believed that he had been walking aimlessly for more than ten hours, even if the watch and mobile phone were wrong at the same time.
But the tiredness brought by his body is real, but Zhou Fan can only bite the bullet and not let himself fall down now, even if he wants to rest now, he doesn't dare, the torch in his hand is already burning and can't be burned.
If Zhou Fan wakes up later, I am afraid that this torch will be extinguished, and the torch they have customized at a large price can burn for twenty hours, if the torch is extinguished, Zhou Fan will not wake up and will not be as comfortable as now.
"Looks like I'm going to hurry." took out gasoline and poured some more on the torch Zhou Fan muttered to himself, he didn't know what confused him and made him walk for more than ten hours without realizing it.
But he could vaguely feel a dangerous aura coming from behind him, and the moment he felt this breath, Zhou Fan remembered the four ancient coffins: "Could it be that the things inside the coffin have come out?" ”
Zhou Fan realized the dangerous aura behind him, nine times out of ten, it was the things inside the four ancient coffins that came, if he didn't hurry, the thing behind him would definitely not be able to parry.
Although Zhou Fan has been walking for more than ten hours, he doesn't know how many miles he has walked, after all, he walked without consciousness, and now he can only judge the distance he has traveled by relying on the fatigue of his body, he knows that if he is conscious, with his current sense of exhaustion, he must have walked a hundred miles without stopping.
But he is unconscious, and he is still walking slowly, so the effect will definitely be halved, Zhou Fan looked behind him and estimated that he had walked fifty or sixty miles, and it would not be a matter of a while for the things in the ancient coffin to really break out of the coffin and catch up.
After figuring it out, Zhou Fan simply took out his mobile phone and dialed Tianyou's number, he knew that he was still safe now, and he wasn't too anxious, as soon as the phone went out, he found that the mobile phone had no signal: "Damn, what the hell is the broken mobile service, there is not even a signal, Lao Tzu will definitely change Unicom when he goes out." Seeing that there was no signal, Zhou Fan had no choice but to despise the mobile company.
But he can only entertain himself, after all, he is too tired now, and he really can't hold on if he doesn't find some fun to divert his attention, so he retracted his playful expression Zhou Fan walked towards the front of the passage again.
This time Zhou Fan no longer dared to relax his vigilance, if he was lost again, Tianyou and they would definitely call the police, and if they were lost again, Zhou Fan himself did not dare to guarantee that he would be as safe as he was now, maybe when he would be divided by something that popped out of the ancient coffin behind him.
"You said Zhou Fan would come back safely, right?" At this time, there were several young people sitting in an apartment building, one was lazily leaning against the window and smoking, the other was lying on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone, and only one was sitting in front of the computer and didn't know what to look for with a frown.
The two beauties leaned close together, Qing'er worriedly took Twilight's hand, I don't know how many times Qing'er asked Twilight, looking at Qing'er's haggard look, Twilight didn't say much.
Although she has been asked no less than a dozen times a day, Twilight Xue still nodded gently, Qing'er saw Twilight Snow with such an expression, and her heart was a little more relaxed, after all, she had not been in contact with Zhou Fan for as long as Tianyou, and she didn't know Zhou Fan's character, unlike Tianyou and others, who were heartless and heartless, Tianyou told her that Zhou Fan would definitely come back, so she didn't have to worry.
Qing'er saw that Tianyou and the others didn't care at all, so she dispelled the idea of going to Zhou Fan, but after Tianyou and them came back to explain the matter, they fell asleep, and the three of them were not dragged up by Duxue until dinner.
Don't look at the three of them looking like they don't care about anything, in fact, the three of them are more worried about Zhou Fan's safety than anyone else, but they don't dare to show too much in front of Qing'er, so they can only pretend that they don't care about anything.
After the three of them woke up, they called Zhou Fan in private, but they were not in the service area, and they didn't dare to tell Qing'er the truth.
