Chapter 12: The Serpent King Blocks the Way

When the group woke up in the morning, they would once again charge into the depths of Ailao Mountain. Unexpectedly, after a night, Wenyi died unexpectedly. When the big guy found her, she fell to the ground, her green lips black, no scars on her body, and she died a very strange death.

"Huh? , Xiaowen, what's wrong? How suddenly! Just...", Professor Sun couldn't accept it for a moment and fainted.

Xu Xinyi hurriedly went over and helped: "Dad, Dad? ”

Lin Jia sat down on the ground, covered his mouth with his hands and cried.

Wu Tiansheng looked at the death of Wenyi carefully, but he couldn't see anything, the only cause of death that could be suspected was the poison of the white snake lotus.

I've drained the poison from her body, but why still...? And it's the same death as the white snake lotus poison attack?

The bamboo pole was so frightened that his hairs stood up, goosebumps fell to the ground, and he touched Wu Tiansheng: "Old... Lao Wu, what's going on, a girl who was good yesterday, why today..."

"I don't know very well, but I remember that yesterday I had exhausted the white snake poison in her body, and it shouldn't happen again."

Lin Jia pointed at Wu Tiansheng and yelled: "It must be you, it was you who killed the literature and art, you murderer!" ”

The bamboo pole glared at Lin Jia, and scolded: "Hey, you stinky boy, polish your dog eyes for me, where did the wound on Wenyi's body come from?" Why do you say that Lao Wu harmed? I think you're the murderer! ”

Wounds? Wu Tiansheng hurriedly picked up Wenyi's injured hand during the day yesterday, and found that even the small hole on his hand that was tied by the white snake was gone. Yesterday's wound healed today?

When everyone was arguing, Xu Xinyi yelled at them: "Shut up, can you say a few words, now that literature and art have been sacrificed for this archaeological research, what else do you want to make trouble?" ”

Professor Sun slowly opened his eyes, stood up with difficulty, and said sadly: "Comrade Xiao Wu, what's wrong with her in literature and art?" This is such a big living person, how can you say that it is gone? ”

Wu Tiansheng looked at the sky, scratched his head and said: "The death of literature and art is strange, she doesn't even have a wound on her body, including the small hole that was injured by the white snake lotus yesterday, it has disappeared. So what I'm trying to say is that there may be some unclean things in Ailao Mountain, and it may not be safe for everyone right now, and my advice is that it's best to go back the way you came. ”

Professor Sun shook his head and coughed a few times: "Now that literature and art have been sacrificed, everyone has come here, and we are about to reach the place we are going to, if we return now, I am sorry for the sacrifice of literature and art!" ”

The bamboo pole gritted his teeth, and the fire in his stomach rushed up again: "Hey, you old thing, just because a person has died now, do you still want our big guy to die with you?" You're old, we're still young! ”

"Bamboo pole, you can say a few words!" , Wu Tiansheng grabbed the words, "Since Professor Sun disagrees, let's go ahead and see, everyone's journey is not easy, but we must always remember that our research is for the whole society and the country, and it is worthwhile!" Let's hurry up and clean up, the bamboo pole and I will dispose of the corpse of literature and art on the spot, and after cleaning up, let's continue to go. ”

The weather is weird, and it can change. A drizzle mixed with a cold wind howled. Wu Tiansheng and the bamboo pole placed Wenyi's body in a pit and buried her heavily with fresh earth. Wu Tiansheng stuck the shovel in the ground, and held the shovel in both hands to look up at the towering Ailao Mountain. What is hidden there, and are there some other poor strange things ahead? Everything is unknown. Knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, they preferred to go to Tiger Mountain, and followed a ventilated road, and they walked into the forest again.

After a while, the road became narrower. There were some poisonous snakes and other foreign objects hanging from the trees that they couldn't see, because their attention was only ahead, maybe they were too hasty.

At the end of the road is a cave, the entrance of which is four or five stories as high as you, and it is lined with very large stones. Trees are blocked on both sides, and this seems to be the only way to go.

They had no choice but to go into the cave and walk from the hole to that side. The cave was pitch black, the wind was blowing, and a flashlight was needed to see what was going on inside the cave. There are stalactites on all sides, and water droplets drip down the stalactites and drip on the ground. The shape of the stalactites is strange, some stalactites are like a conch, as if playing beautiful and moving music, and some stalactites are like a harp; There are also stalactites that fall in rows, like curtains. However, the most common shape of these stalactites resembles a tree, and these strangely shaped stalactites are no different from trees if they are shown in the form of ink paintings.

Wu Tiansheng felt familiar, and immediately took out the painting to look at it, he handed the painting to Professor Sun, and said excitedly: "This is the second place painted in the painting, it is all right, as long as we follow the painting, our hope seems to be very great." ”

"Great, thanks to Comrade Xiao Wu this time, let's not waste time and keep moving forward."

"Wait!" , Xu Xinyi pointed her ears and heard some 'hissing sounds'.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear anything?"

Wu Tiansheng was very puzzled, but when he heard it carefully, there were indeed some other strange sounds: "I heard it, but I can't tell what the sound is, everyone be careful, follow me, don't get separated." The terrain in the cave is complicated, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful. ”

At first, the hole was narrow, with a maximum of two people walking side by side. They supported each other and walked steadily step by step.

"There's light ahead, we should be able to get out in no time!" , Wu Tiansheng said excitedly.

But the light didn't bring them much luck. At the end of the road is a large space, and there is a huge hole overhead, so there will be light shining down from above. And all around, there are densely packed snake eggs, like honeycombs. Some snakes have begun to break their shells, and some snakes have already come out.

Wu Tiansheng swallowed his saliva, stretched his left hand back, and stopped everyone from continuing to walk: "Wait." ”

Professor Sun wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"Everyone, don't wake them up."

The bamboo pole said anxiously: "Oh, what the hell is it?" ”

Wu Tiansheng asked them to go over and take a look, and Lin Jia was so frightened that his legs went weak and fell directly to the ground. Inside, a huge python was hovering in the middle, resting with its eyes closed. The snake's head has several pieces that resemble flower petals.

Professor Sun asked anxiously, "Comrade Xiao Wu, what can I do about this?" ”。

Wu Tiansheng explained: "This is a flower python, its killing method is not to bite, but to spray venom from his mouth, the flower python is extremely poisonous, whenever it touches its venom, the body will be corroded in an instant." We'd better not disturb it, let's go back the way we came and see if there's another way. ”

Professor Sun directly interrupted: "Absolutely not! There are only three places left from the destination, and after this place, there is only one place left except for the final place. Besides, this is the place where the painting is depicted, and I am afraid that there is no other way to go. ”
