Chapter 00095 is mighty
Judging by the voice, I should be a giant python behind me. Judging by the sound of the tongue, this python is at least as thick as a human, but I may be something else.
I didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that my speed would not be as fast as the other party, and if I did, I would be eaten in one bite.
Nan Ya took out a dagger and quickly cut a cut in his wrist, and the blood flowed out instantly and flowed to the ground.
Immediately after that, a huge flower shadow next to me rushed towards Nanya.
Only then did I see that it was indeed a giant python, about the same size as I estimated, with a colorful snake body.
The giant python didn't say a word, and ran away after pestering Nanya.
The body hit the big tree next to it, and the big tree was thrown in two in an instant.
"Chase, it wants to take Nan Ya back to the resting place and eat it." I shouted, and Chasing Wind and Hunter hurriedly chased after me.
Snakes are attracted to the smell of blood, and although it is the first time to see such a large snake, it is still a snake.
According to the habit of snakes, when they feel threatened, they will sweep away their prey, take it to a safe place, and then swallow it whole.
People who are swallowed by this python do not die immediately, but are slowly digested after entering the belly of the python.
I'm also worried about whether Nan Ya can withstand the entanglement of the main python.
A python more than two feet long, if it entangles a martial arts master, it can strangle the martial arts master to death.
What's more, this giant python is nearly ten zhang old, and its strength is not known how many times greater.
The python moves very fast, and the three of us have to consider the terrain in the woods, and the speed will definitely be affected.
The speed of chasing the wind and hunting shadows is much faster than mine, and it looks like a veteran who often goes in and out of the mountains and forests.
After chasing for less than half a mile, the speed of the python slowed down significantly.
Suddenly he turned to look at us.
At this time, Chasing the Wind and Hunting Shadow were in front of the giant python, less than five steps away. I'm a little slow, almost three feet away from them.
The posture of the giant python is very strange, it wraps its neck part around Nanya, and at first glance it looks like its whole body is tied in a knot at the neck.
Nan Ya didn't seem to be fine, his hands drooped, and he was entangled by it, as if he was willing.
I was just about to rush over, and the wind chase and shadow hunting had already shot.
The two of them pulled out their embroidered spring knives and stabbed at the python.
I have to say that the skills of chasing the wind and hunting shadows are still very agile, and they definitely belong to the best among the martial arts masters.
The two men struck left and right, and the giant python suddenly flicked its tail and swept over with a strong wind, and the trees were broken everywhere it went.
However, there are also disadvantages of being big, compared to chasing the wind and hunting shadows, this giant python is a little bulky.
Despite his strength, he is not fast, and every attack can be easily dodged by Chasing Wind and Hunter.
Chasing Wind and Shadow Hunting are also constantly harming the giant python, and after more than a dozen knives, Chasing Wind used all his strength to cut the killer knife and cut the giant python in half from the middle.
The giant python that was broken in two did not die immediately, and its tail was thrown indiscriminately for a long time before it stood still.
Although the upper body didn't move much, a bloody mouth kept opening and closing, and finally gradually died.
Nan Ya has been entangled by death throughout the whole process, even if the giant python died, he was not put down. It was still Chasing Wind and Shadow Hunting that cut the giant python into two more sections, and Nan Ya fell out of the python's neck.
Nan Ya's face turned purple at this time, and it was obvious that he had just been strangled lightly, and as soon as he fell, he gasped for breath.
"Are you alright?" I asked him.
Nan Ya waved his hand, "Water." ”
Chasing Feng hurriedly handed over the water bag, and after Nan Ya took it, he raised his head and poured several sips.
The ground around was covered with snake blood, and strangely there was no smell of blood. I also dipped my hand in the blood on the ground, put it in front of my nose and smelled it, it really didn't, it didn't smell at all, it really made me unbelievable.
I frowned and told Nanya, "This snake is so strange...... Blood has no taste. ”
"The animals here are very strange, so be careful. Looking at the direction of the leaves, Tatsumi was over there. Nan Ya pointed to the right and continued: "Tibet is an excellent location for tombs, go over and look to see if you can find the robbery hole." ”
With that, the four of us cautiously walked towards that side.
This time, they all held their weapons in their hands and didn't dare to be careless.
Along the way, I saw a lot of animals, and the spiders I encountered became bigger and bigger, and the largest naked body was the size of a head, and with eight legs, it looked about the size of a millstone.
All kinds of strange bugs are also unusually large, and I have never seen a bug smaller than a fist.
Wolves, tigers, leopards, and other beasts did not encounter them, and they encountered a few pythons, as thick as arms, but they did not take the initiative to attack us, and they honestly coiled in the trees.
As he walked, Nan Ya observed the surrounding terrain, and from time to time pinched some soil and put it in his mouth to taste. Passing by, Nan Ya also marked the trees obviously.
We fumbled like this for almost half an hour, and finally we finally made a discovery.
I didn't see the cave, but I saw a hole in the ground.
The mouth of the cave is not small, about the same as ten wells combined.
Weeds grow all around, and the edges are partially covered.
The cave is pitch black, you can't see anything, and if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of running water. Judging by the sound, the distance between the bottom of the cave and the entrance of the cave is more than ten zhang.
"If there's a thief hole, it should be down here. Keep looking around, and I'll go down and see by myself. After Nan Ya finished speaking, he jumped down without waiting for us to reply.
I don't know if he can see what is going on, but I can't see it anyway. The special abilities of the eyes, here seem to have lost their effect.
The three of us had no choice but to search around, but we didn't dare to go far. I roughly judged it, and the conclusion I came to was similar to what Nan Ya said.
If there were tombs on Duntou Mountain, we are probably located south of the tombs. The entrance should also be nearby, because to build a tomb, you must always pay attention to it, and the exit is always in the south, which should correspond to the feng shui sitting in the north.
Usually, there is only one entrance to the tomb. There are very few tombs that have exits, but the exits are also in the south.
There are no rivers around Duntou Mountain, and if you rely on Yongquan Lake alone, the groundwater level will not be very high. It is highly probable that half of this tomb is underwater.
Thinking of this, I used the Luoyang shovel to start shoveling soil on the ground under my feet.
This Luoyang shovel was brought by Nan Ya I don't know where it came from, and the shovel handle can be assembled and become very long. After use, it can also be removed for easy carrying.
However, the longest can only be more than three zhang, and it will break off if it grows longer.
At first, the soil was red, then it began to turn yellow, and then it was dug downwards, and it brought up black soil.
This black earth has a smell of rotting leaves.
Chasing the wind grabbed a handful of black dirt and sniffed it, shook his head, and said, "The tomb may be deeper. ”
The two of them have been following Nan Ya all year round, and they must have learned a lot. Some connoisseurs, as soon as they smell the dirt, know if there are any tombs here, and can even tell which dynasty the tomb is.
I can't, I just stay on theoretical knowledge.
After digging down for a while, I suddenly felt that the shovel had suddenly scooped something soft, and it felt like it had pierced the animal.
I hurriedly lifted the Luoyang shovel up, and saw that there were red blood stains on it, mixed with black soil.
I leaned in front of my nose and smelled it, but there was still no smell.
I dug two more shovels, and this time it didn't feel soft. It is estimated that some animal that lives underground should have been shoveled, such as a snake or something.
Digging until the length of the Luoyang shovel is not enough, Chasing the wind still said that the tomb may still be below, it seems that this ancient tomb was built very deeply.
I asked Wind Chase and Hunter to help dig up the surrounding trees, and found that the rhizomes of these trees were not far from the surface.
That is to say, for thousands of years, the topography of Duntou Mountain has not undergone major changes.
Unlike some places, after hundreds of years or thousands of years, the terrain will change, and it is possible to raise a foot high in the originally low places.
This shows that this tomb was built from the very beginning, and a place deep from the ground was chosen.
This also confirms that this ancient tomb is a murderous tomb.
In the past, people believed that after death, if they wanted their souls to go to the heavenly realm, they would build tombs to a very high place. Therefore, they often choose places with good feng shui and high terrain.
And those who are very wicked, after their deaths, will not be gone, so they will bury them in the ground, the deeper the better.
It is said that it is close to the eighteenth layer of hell, so that the unjust soul can be calmed.
Before we dug the tomb, we were no longer busy, squatting at the entrance of the cave and waiting for Nan Ya to come out.
About half an hour later, Nan Ya came up, covered in mud and wet.
"Go back and prepare your things, and go to the tomb from here." Nan Ya said.
We didn't hesitate much, hurriedly left Duntou Mountain and returned to Niujia Village.
Back in Niujia Village, it was already dark. The village chief Niu entertained us for dinner, and Nan Ya called everyone together to discuss the tomb robbery.
According to Nanya, this tomb robbery is more difficult, and there are many things to prepare.
First of all, it is necessary for each person to have a gun and gunpowder. Torches, candles, saltpeter, phosphorus powder, fire oil, these are also essential.
Dry food and water should also be brought, this is a large tomb, and it may take two or three days, or even longer, to find the main burial chamber.
Needless to say, there are other must-have items for tomb robbing.
The original plan to let the guards and Miss Tang live in the village has also been changed.
All the guards entered the hill and carved a path. Temporary earthen walls and wood-roofed houses were built in the woods.
Considering the possible shortage of manpower, Nanya has already sent Chafeng back to Jinling and mobilized another 2,000 people. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has just passed recently, and the Jinling government has abundant grain reserves.
Otherwise, our small army will even have a problem eating.
After discussing big matters, it is already a child's time. Everyone went back to the house to rest, and I didn't know what was going on, I felt dazed and couldn't sleep deeply. I woke up three or four times in the middle, but I didn't hear the village chief Niu say that there would be ghosts crying wolves in the mountains.
The next day, Chasing Wind came with his men and horses. They also brought food, utensils, and various supplies, as did craftsmen and stonemasons.
When everything is ready, a massive tomb robbery begins.
