Chapter 14: The Nasty Snake

This sight is enough to make people sick. A cyan python coiled over the canopy above their heads, shaking its head at them, as if it had found something interesting, tilted its head, and the snake apricot in its mouth kept clattering.

Suddenly, the heartbeat rushed to the throat, and after a moment of stunnedness, the two of them ran away, and the stinky water splashed under their feet went straight to their faces, but where was the time to care about these? The giant python behind him was covered in green light, probably drying its scales on the canopy, smelling the smell of the two of them, as if he had just remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, and slid straight down from the tree and swam in an S shape.

The water-filled leafy ground is difficult to walk on, but it is ideal for snakes, who swim at an astonishing speed. Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Zhao Qian's back was cold, and she shouted at Lu Xia: "Isn't there lime powder?" Snakes are afraid of lime."

Lu Xia remembered the backpack at this time, and hurriedly took it off and opened the zipper to rummage through it while running. "Zhao Qian, you are really amazing, even bring lime powder to see"

But maybe I was too nervous, and before I could take out the lime powder, my arm went numb, and my whole backpack fell to the ground.

All their things are in their bags, and if they lose them, they won't live tomorrow morning without a python.

Seeing that the backpack was spilled, Zhao Qian stomped her feet hatefully, and hurriedly ran back to pick it up: "Lu Xia, why are you clumsy?" Hurry up and pick it up! …… Well? What about lime powder? ”

"Here," Lu Xia raised the bag and grinned as if he had a sense of accomplishment.

By this time, the python was already speeding towards it like a locomotive, and its huge physique was nimble like an elf in the deciduous forest.

"What are you stupid about? Hurry up and scatter it! ”

"Oh!" Lu Xia turned around consciously, and seeing that the giant python was within a stone's throw away, he suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and it was difficult to even breathe.

Lime can repel snakes, although it may not work, but it should still be possible to delay a little time. But as soon as Lu Xia saw the giant python, his brain was empty, and he didn't dare to look directly, so he closed his eyes and threw the whole bag of lime powder out like a sandbag.

Zhao Qian was dumbfounded, and only after half a sound did she come to her senses. But there was no time left, and the python opened its bloody mouth, its long, yellow fangs dripping with poisonous saliva and lunging at it.

"It doesn't work!"

"Stupid! Do you think it's a grenade? Zhao Qian didn't have time to talk to him, so she picked up an item in her backpack and threw it out, then threw another one, followed by mosquito repellent spray.

The python swallowed it with its head held high, probably thinking it tasted good, and then swallowed the mosquito repellent spray. The spray bottle smashed on the fangs and exploded into a mist, and a pungent smell made the python shake its head violently, and it actually crashed into the big tree next to it.

Got this opportunity, Zhao Qian hurriedly grabbed Lu Xia and shouted: "Run!" ”

A few steps forward with a backpack in my hand, I saw a river. The giant python came to its senses and became even more ferocious, puffing out its red tongue and pressing down. But they had no way to escape, so they had to jump into the river after looking around.

The river here is relatively deep, and when you jump down, you feel your body sinking straight down, and your toes are stretched out and you can't reach the bottom of the river. But the python is already overhead, and it is thinking about how to catch them.

The giant python was on top of his head, Lu Xia was afraid and didn't put his head in the water, Zhao Qian thought he was drowning again when he saw it, so he took a sharp breath and shrunk into the water to find him. When the two of them helped each other out of the water, the python had already left. Perhaps it was because he didn't think it was pointy to spend time waiting for the rabbit, so he went back to the canopy and continued to dry his scales.

Zhao Qian wiped a handful of water from her face and looked left and right, and saw that the giant python might really be gone, so she lost her breath. Lu Xia shook the water on his head, swallowed his throat and asked, "Is this the top of the food chain you are talking about?" It's scary! ”

"Who knows?" Zhao Qian shrugged weakly and swam to the shore by stepping on the water.

Lu Xia still had palpitations, and stood in the water for a long time before swimming ashore amid Zhao Qian's shouts.

Both of them were tired when they climbed ashore, but they didn't dare to take any more time to rest, time was the most precious thing for them at the moment.

"Let's go along the river, anyway." Lu Xia said after punishing him, and when he thought of the thrilling scene just now, his calves trembled a little. "We can think differently. Pythons can't get into the water, and silver carp can't get ashore. If we meet a python, we go into the water, and when we meet a tarpon, we run on the shore. ”

Zhao Qian was twisting her hair, and when she saw Lu Xia saying this, she also felt that it was feasible, and nodded: "You are a man, I will listen to you!" ”

However, misfortune does not go alone, and what is feared will come. The two of them had only walked forward a dozen steps, and suddenly the water around them was blistering, and it seemed like the river was about to boil. Immediately afterwards, I saw two tentacles as thick as rolling pins poking out of the water and following the current.

Lu Xia scolded viciously and led Zhao Qian to run forward, although it was on the shore, the big fish seemed to identify the two of them, and they were galloping together in the river.

"Is this the same tarpon from last night?" Zhao Qian felt depressed, "Why is it so strong!" Do you have to get along with us? ”

Lu Xia shook his head as he ran: "It shouldn't be." Yesterday's one was female, it's just male! ”

"Really? You even know its gender? ”

"I'm 100% sure......," Lu Xia said and stopped, panting with his hands on his knees: "Rest for a while!" It can't come up anyway. ”

Zhao Qian also stopped, and curiously stretched out her head to look at the river. Suddenly, she tugged on Lu Xia's arm in surprise and said, "No. It's still the same one last night! ”

"How is that possible? I obviously saw ......," Lu Xia said, picking up his toes and looking forward, when he saw a black silver carp with a broken knife on its back spinning in the river, the following words could not be spoken.

Zhao Qian was a little indignant. "I didn't expect it to really come, it seems to be carrying our strength!"

Lu Xia looked puzzled, scratched his scalp and said, "But last night, you obviously chopped off a beard?" How did it grow again overnight? It still has a backup of this thing at home? ”

Zhao Qian covered her nose and laughed when she heard this, and punched Lu Xia's chest: "Don't tease!" Let's go, we'll be done when the python comes back later. ”

Zhao Qian glanced forward as she spoke, and when she glanced at her head, she was suddenly stunned, and looked back suddenly.

And as far as her eyes could see, there was an ancient tower building that was not majestic but very majestic. The ancient tower fluttered under the cover of the canopy, and from a distance it looked like a mirage in the clouds.

"Lu Xia ~ ......! Lu Xia Lu Xia" Zhao Qian shook Lu Xia's arm, pointed to the front and said intently: "Look, we have arrived!" ”

On the banks of the secluded river, a stone tower six or seven meters high is impressively presented. The stone tower is made of a whole piece of brick and stone polishing, I don't know how many wind, sun, rain and snow carvings have been experienced here, the tower shoulder tower wall is covered with moss, the bottom end of the tower seems to have been pried open, the dislocation of the stone strip cracking, you can see the rock in the inner layer. But this did not affect the structural safety of the entire stone tower, which still stood tall and tall, like a huge stone statue with its head held high.

There are many polished boulders around the stone tower, but they are scattered randomly and disorderly, and it is impossible to tell that they are full of work. Trees have grown around the stone blocks and towers, adding a sense of vicissitudes and mystery to the ancient ruins here. Lu Xia couldn't imagine that there would be traces of human activity in this kind of place. Since he encountered the giant worm to the present, his worldview has changed I don't know how many times, and the ancient ruins in front of him, you say that it was left by aliens, will not make him feel any shock.

"How can there be a stone tower here? Who built it? ”

"Chen Youliang," Zhao Qian looked left and right and replied casually.

"What?"

Zhao Qian paused, and had no choice but to tell Lu Xia what Zhou Qiming had said to herself.

"More than 600 years ago, Lan Yu led his army south to conquer Yandu, forcing Chen Youliang to suffer a major loss of vitality. Chen Youliang, who was defeated like a mountain, knew that his situation had been decided, and on the one hand, he reorganized his military strength and fought to the death, and on the other hand, he was building a large number of buildings here. I don't know what he wants to build, but before he can build anything else but this tower, he was defeated again by the Blue Jade Army. In 1363, Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 to fight a decisive battle at Panyang Lake and was killed by an arrow. ”

"You can be a tour guide or a lecturer in a museum"

Lu Xia, who has a half-understanding of history, heard it very clearly, and then looked at the ancient pagoda in front of him and the bricks and stones all over the ground, and he was no longer so confused. "In other words, this is a bad project?"

"So to speak," Zhao Qian sighed happily as she stroked the rock wall of the stone tower, her jade-white fingers rubbing against the hastily completed stone bricks. "But you certainly don't know the value and significance of this stone tower."

"What's the point of an unfinished project?" Lu Xia smiled nonchalantly.

Zhao Qian wanted to speak and stopped, and was annoyed that why did she say this to him? Is there something here that Lu Xia can know? If he knew that the stone tower was actually the coordinates of the water dungeon, and knew the terrible secrets hidden in the water dungeon, would he hate himself? Thinking of this, Zhao Qian felt self-blame, and looked up at the sky with sadness, and when she looked up, she saw their life and death rivals,—— the red-green giant python.

The giant python didn't know when it came quietly, and when Lu Xia looked up, he saw a huge snake body hovering over the stone tower, and the head of a snake as big as a basin spit snake apricots and bowed its head towards him.

Lu Xia shuddered, staring at the python in horror and didn't dare to move.

"Let's go! Hurriedly... Walk~...! It's here! ”

Lu Xia also leisurely circled around the stone tower. It wasn't until I turned around and saw a snake body as thick as a tree in front of me that I slowly raised my head consciously.

The python looked proud, and did not eat the two of them immediately just to show his majesty at this moment. Just as Zhao Qian and Lu Xia looked at the giant python dumbfounded, it fiercely opened its bloody mouth and roared at the two, and the saliva on its mouth sprayed everywhere.
