Section 336 The coffin at the bottom of the pit

With a fluke mentality, Angel stood in place and watched the python swim away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 But soon, his luck was shattered, and the python swam for a while before turning its head to look at him, although it didn't say anything, but it seemed to say a thousand words in its cold eyes.

"Okay, you lead the way, I'll follow you. Angel sighed, he was also unlucky enough, thinking that there was a "Ten Thousand Rising Stars" who should protect himself, but he really met a wizard-level magical beast!

"Toby, why don't you go first and go out and help me find my way?" Ingres tried to let Toby go alone, but Toby didn't say anything, sitting back on top of his hat and not moving.

The direction of the giant python's movement is also along the current, and of course Angel is not really stupid to think that a demonic beast will have kindness to him, so he didn't put away the Ten Thousand Royal Nova along the way, and his eyes kept rolling, looking for a way to break the game.

But the underground water is too wide and dark, and it's easy to get lost. Even if he had the light technique, he wouldn't be able to illuminate far. He didn't even know if the waterway was a cliff or a hollow hole.

After swimming for a few more minutes, Angel was now beginning to wonder if this waterway was really the way the villagers left.

In the black water passage in front, hold your breath and swim faster, and ordinary people can also come over. But this waterway, or this underground watershed, can really leave here according to the ability of ordinary people?

But if it wasn't here, then why were there corpses along the way? Ingres didn't believe that this python had killed him. Not to mention whether there was this python thousands of years ago, if it was really killed by a giant python, at least the bones could not have been preserved so well.

Ingres's doubts came out one by one, and before he could think about it completely, the python suddenly went upstream.

Angel had no choice but to float.

Soon, Ingres was able to rise to the surface of the water, and with the help of light, Ingres found that there was not much space above the water's surface, like an upside-down bowl that could hold up to ten meters in diameter.

However, there is a hole in this "upside-down bowl", and no one knows what the black condition in the hole is. After the giant python's huge head floated on the water's surface, it remained silently lurking, without moving.

Angel was only four or five meters away from him at this time, and he could feel the enormity of the snake even more.

The python never came ashore, but stared at Angel with pale golden vertical pupils, and the urging in his eyes was obvious.

Angel was also a little at a loss, and continued to go down to the diving area to find an exit, which was a bit unrealistic, he couldn't outrun the python at all, and where the exit was was also a question mark. But just going to a dark hole, and most likely a python's lair, he felt even more dangerous.

"What the hell do you want me to do?" Ingres asked.

The python was speechless, its pupils staring at Angel.

Angels changed his expression and directly communicated with the python with emotions. But the python still didn't move, and its eyes were cold.

Ingres's eyes were still rolling, thinking about whether there were other props in the bracelet that could solve the siege, and he even thought about letting Toby use acceleration to take him to sprint for a while, and then turn on the boundless silence to stealth on one side, but the water flow was too easy to reveal his position, and the boundless silence of stealth was not to escape into the void, as long as the water flow passed by his position, it would be exposed.

Angel thought about it and climbed ashore anyway. If you want to escape in the boundless silence, you must not go underwater.

After he came ashore, the giant python slowly climbed up, and its huge body was exposed to the air for the first time. The python swayed as Angel entered the cavern, and as he went, Ingres saw the droplets of water rolling off its black scales and dripping into the ground, damp from the ground.

Seeing this, Angel was even more sure that the wet marks on the ground in the cave were made by the python.

In other words, the python had been watching them from a dark place, and eventually, it opened a passage to the bottom of the lake to lure them there.

The python's behavior is too strange, if you really want to deal with them, why not at the bottom of the lake? Or is it too cramped at the bottom of the lake to spread out? But it doesn't make sense.

Angel decided to stay quiet for a moment and follow it to the end to see what it was trying to do.

......

The cave is getting wider and wider, and when you go to the back, it is wide enough for hundreds of pythons to live here without fear of crowding.

This kind of terrain is what Ingres is happy to see. Once he does decide to escape, the wider it is, the more it can exert the effect of boundless silence.

As he went deeper, Angel noticed that there were illuminated plants, but unlike the plants in the Inner World that grew at the top and shone by absorbing the glow of the sun and moon, these plants looked like dandelions, but the fluffy balls glowed a lustrous green.

From a distance, it looks like swarms of green fireflies.

Although the glow is not large, it can't withstand the many luminous plants. So when I got to the back of the road, I simply relied on the glowing dandelion to illuminate this huge underground cave very brightly.

Soon, they reached their destination, and although there seemed to be a road ahead, the python did not go any further.

Angel looked deeper into the passage, wondering if the end would be the passage to leave?

But now was not the time to explore, he wanted to know what the python was going to do.

As the python entered another passage, this passage was a truly closed passage, and although it was spacious inside, he could see the end at a glance through the glow of the luminous dandelion. ――This is probably the python's lair, right?

The python slowly swam in front of a pit,

Angel also walked over, stood in front of the pothole, and looked down.

It was dark and gloomy, and he couldn't see anything, and Ingres speculated that this might be the python's lair below.

At this time, the giant python slowly took a glowing dandelion in its mouth and threw it into the pit.

The dandelions, shining with a glittering light, swirled and fell slowly. With the glow of the glow, Ingres's eyes widened suddenly! This pit was not the habitat of the giant python he imagined, because under the reflection of the glow, the bottom of the pit was full of white bones!

The glow can only illuminate a corner, but according to the density of the white bones at the bottom of the pit, it is conceivable how many bones are at the bottom of the entire pit?!

At least hundreds, if not thousands!

When Angels was shocked, he also noticed that the skeletons at the bottom of the pit were also intact, and most of the skeletons had ...... around them Medical kits.

The familiar medical kit made Angel immediately confirm that these skeletons should be the villagers of the deserted village.

Could it be that the villagers he thought had escaped from the deserted village were actually here?

None of them escaped, all died here?

Who killed them? Was it a boa constrictor? The answer should be no. With the size of a python, crushing them is a breeze, but the bones here are extremely intact.

Angel looked back at the python on the side, and he faintly saw the sadness in the python's golden vertical pupils.

Grief? Monty pythons grieve for humans?

Could it be that there is any special connection between this giant python and these skeletons?

β€œ...... Special connection?" Ingres thought of this and suddenly remembered something. He took out the medical kit from the bracelet that he had first found at the bottom of the lake and took out a medicine bottle from inside. A strange mark is carved on the outside of the vial, which is a snake with black scales, wrapped around a silver-white ringed cone.

Looking at the mark, Ingres looked at the black python next to him.

"Could this snake be you?" Ingres asked in a low voice, looking at the python that continued to grieve and mourn.

The python turned its head to look, lowered its head slightly and did not speak, but slid down the pit wall.

Although the python remained silent, it did not deny Ingres' questioning. And judging from its performance, maybe this python is really the snake on the mark.

I use a real snake as a representation in the coat of arms. Ingres narrowed his eyes, and he thought of some evil religion.

But as a doctor, on the day he took the oath of office, he was destined to go against the evil. Since doctors have chosen to use the snake as a marker, does it mean that there is a story behind the snake, or does it actually represent a spiritual belief?

As Ingres was guessing, the python slowly climbed up again, but this time it brought something with it.

Angel had seen that the python seemed to be looking for something in the pile of bones, and now that it had found it, he brought it with him.

When Angel saw what the python had brought up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be a coffin?!

This is a coffin made of black oil wood, this oil wood is extremely rare, it is in a humid environment, it does not rot for 10,000 years, and is often used to make coffins in the mundane world. In the wizarding world, it is also considered a low-level magic plant, and the best substitute for making a relay shaft in mechanical alchemy.

The body of the coffin is black, and the lid is pure white. On the lid of the coffin is also engraved a mark of "snake wrapped around a long cone".

After the python brought the coffin up, it gently pressed its head against Ingres.

After the giant python did all this, he quietly looked at Angel, with a hint of imperceptible pleading in the vertical pupils of what should have been a cold-blooded creature.

"You brought me here so that I could help you bury this coffin?" Ingres asked, looking at the coffin at his feet, puzzled.

Angel asked, gently placing his hand on the coffin.

Just when Angels' hand touched the coffin, a strange change appeared.

The coffin suddenly shook violently, swaying left and right, and the coffin lid jumped and jumped, as if something inside was unwillingly drilling out.

"Corpse?" Angel withdrew his hand, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

After the corpse dies, if the soul is not separated, through special means, the corpse can exist in the form of a "ghoul". If the soul is separated from the body, there is also a chance to form a "walking corpse".

Whether it is a walking corpse or a ghoul, they are very low-level monsters, and wizards generally disdain to refine them. Rather than smashing up dead bodies, wizards are more inclined to turn living people into puppets. For example, Bogula, the famous "puppeteer" in the Southern Regions, loves to refine beauty puppets the most, and all of them are made by living bodies.

After Angel said the word "corpse transformation", he frowned again: "It's not right, if it's a corpse transformation, the corpse must at least remain roughly intact." After being dead for a thousand years, it can't be a dead soul skeleton inside, right?"
