Chapter 15: Snake into Dragon
"Crackling ......"
Since the firewood was not too dry, sparks kept bursting out when it burned, and the firelight reflected the faces of the two of them red.
The sun had just set in the outside world, and the entire cave had just stepped into the darkness, the sound of frogs was gradually rising, and there was a bustle around, it seemed that Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi were not the only residents here, and now only this fire could bring them a little sense of security.
This is a night that is not destined to be peaceful, last night because they slept too dead and the two did not notice, in fact, the cave after the night is a little cold, the fat man sat very close to the fire, almost lying on it to roast, but still felt that the cold was shivering, Shen Jinsan saw that his face was blue, his lips were purple, and his eyes were red, so he reached out to probe his forehead, this probe was really bad, the fat man actually had a fever.
The fever can be big or small, Shen Jinsan didn't want the fat man to have something, so he decided to start looking for a way out immediately without waiting for dawn, he picked up a long piece of wood from the fire as a torch, but as soon as he stood up, he was hit on the head by a huge black shadow from the air with great force.
Shen Jinsan was knocked into a whirlwind, his head was buzzing, he was half-kneeling on the ground and shook his head violently, almost fainting just now.
There was a dark shadow overhead, something kept passing by, there was the sound of wings flapping, and the commotion in the darkness seemed to be getting stronger.
Shen Jinsan had a premonition that something was wrong, and hurriedly burned the fire more vigorously, with the help of the firelight, he vaguely saw that hundreds of huge insects were attracted by the firelight, hovering above their heads and around, dozens of strange-looking big insects on the ground were also slowly approaching this side, and it was very likely that the moth that hit Shen Jinsan just now was a moth the size of a soil dog flying in the sky, it must be that there was vigorous life in the cave, causing the originally small insects to grow extremely huge.
Guo Fatzi couldn't believe his eyes, "Mom! I'm not dreaming anymore! What the hell are we getting smaller, or are the bugs getting bigger! ”
Shen Jinsan: "I really can't hide, so I jump into the water!" ”
Modern human society has an innate fear of the Zerg, but fortunately, at this time, these insects seem to be only attracted by the firelight and not coming at them, but if a few carnivorous insects appear, it will be a big trouble.
"Boom la la ~~~~~~"
While the two were thinking, there were several noises in the distant stream, and then the ground began to shake.
"Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Woo ......"
With the sound of heavy footsteps like a giant rushing towards it, the sound was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, the branches snapped and there was a chaotic sound, and a head the size of a water tank came out of the darkness, opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth and bit a large crawling mantis, then threw it into the air, and then took it in one gulp.
"Squeak squeak, squeak squeak......"
The mantis screamed in mid-air, and the pale yellow blood and intestines in the abdomen flowed to the ground.
The big head bit the mantis and swallowed it alive in a few bites.
Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi hurriedly retreated behind the fire, the two of them were dumbfounded, this thing has a mist spraying in its nose, its face is like a horse's face like a tiger, its eyes are like copper bells, its upper lip has two whiskers that can keep wriggling, the eyebrow bones are high and extend to the intersection between the eyes, a pair of sharp horns stand on the top of the head, and the neck is locked by an oversized iron ring, which is connected to a very thick and tightly stretched iron chain and hides in the darkness with its body.
The fat man couldn't believe it when he grew up, patted Shen Jinsan's back and exclaimed: "Brother, this can't be a dragon!" ”
Shen Jinsan said excitedly: "Definitely not, the horns of the legendary dragon are very large, covered with scales all over the body, this horn is still so small, I see that except for a little cyan scales on the head and back, most of the rest are some hard hairs, it should be a Jiao that has not yet achieved the Daoist dragon, it is said that the giant python has been cultivated for five hundred years, and the Jiao has been cultivated for thousands of years. ”
Guo Fatzi: "I think eight or nine are not far from ten, what should we do now?" ”
Shen Jinsan: "Don't move, look at this chain, this thing should have been locked here for a long time, don't provoke it, in case you start a madness, I'm afraid the chain will be broken." ”
Jiao was chained, it seemed that Zhiyuan could only get three or four meters away from the fire, it ate a few insects one after another, stared at Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi for a while, and sprayed a fishy smell of water vapor at them and quickly disappeared into the darkness, and the surrounding insects were suddenly frightened by this Jiao and hid one after another, and the cave was immediately calm and could only hear the sound of running water.
The fat man sat on the ground with his shoulders covered and made a painful gesture, and he said to Shen Jinsan: "Special mother, it seems that the wound was torn by the movement just now, and I am weak now, and I may not be able to help you in the future!" ”
"Then you can sleep for a while!" Shen Jinsan was very worried about the fat man's condition, and knew that he was not as simple as a cold and fever, so he asked the fat man to lie down and rest, and he kept vigil by himself.
Shen Jinsan decided not to venture into the dark to find a way out, otherwise the neighbors here would definitely eat him, not to mention that there was a Jiao waiting for an opportunity in the dark.
Wait until dawn and be safe, it seems that the creatures here are day and night, and the insects did not come out to harass again last night, indicating that the dragon has been hiding nearby and waiting for an opportunity to move and has not returned to the nest.
Shen Jinsan sat beside the fire that was about to be extinguished and looked at the sleeping fat man, he felt out the broken bracelet in his pocket and thought quickly in his mind, the two of them were about to reach the limit of their bodies, they must get out of here as soon as possible, and they must return here again after escaping, and make everything clear.
At this time, Shen Jinsan burst out with a strong will to survive, he looked up at the sky and suddenly had an idea, yesterday searched the entire ground but only ignored the top of the cave, quickly got up to check, and found that the cave wall was covered with vines that extended to the waterfall, and climbing along the vines through the waterfall may have a glimmer of life, although the water is turbulent, but the gap at the end of the waterfall can accommodate the two of them to pass, but I don't know the situation on the other side after passing through, as long as it is not too deep in the pool, it will not be drowned.
Shen Jinsan woke up the fat man and told him his plan, the fat man's condition seemed to improve after a night's rest, indicating that he still had some strength to climb high, and the two picked some wild fruits and ate them indiscriminately, and decided to start an escape plan immediately.
The vines are criss-crossed, it seems to be easy to climb but it is really not easy, the perennial water is extremely slippery, some have already died and broken when pulled, and the two people dare not take it lightly when they climb the cave wall with their bare hands, and they will fall to a broken bone and die if they are not careful.
Climbing to a high place, Shen Jinsan did not forget to look back, the crawling traces of the Jiao extended to the stream under the stone bridge, yesterday did not pay attention, now look from top to bottom, only to find that although this stream is small, it is actually unfathomable, how many secrets are hidden in this cave, and why did my mother come here.
Don't dare to think about it anymore, Shen Jinsan turned around and settled down and continued to climb, the fat man followed behind and gritted his teeth and insisted, before coming up, Shen Jinsan was afraid that he would have an accident halfway, so he tied a thin vine with good toughness on the waists of the two of them just in case, and now the fat man is relying on this thin vine to pull it reluctantly.
"What's the situation?" Shen Jinsan was in a hurry for a while and almost fell.
It turned out that the fat man suddenly made a sinking action, Shen Jinsan was caught off guard by him, and almost got off the vine, it turned out that there were a few dragon lice larvae with the thickness of the bowl mouth out of the stone crack and wanted to bite the fat man, the fat man felt out the golden coffin nail in his pocket, and nailed them to the vine cleanly.
Shen Jinsan scolded him for being greedy, and when he was running for his life in the ancient tomb, he didn't forget to pick up the two lost coffin nails, and the fat man gasped and smirked at him, saying that this was arranged by God, if there were no two coffin nails, maybe he would be bitten to death by insects.
After a long time of hard work, they finally climbed to the top, and at this time a very serious problem was placed in front of them, the crack was in the center of the cave roof, and the vines only extended to the periphery of the cave roof, how to cross these slippery stalactites horizontally without falling?
