Chapter 6 Prehistoric Monitor Lizards
Out of my body's instinctive reaction, I subconsciously picked up a punch and threw it behind me.
There was a crisp "snap" in the dark, and I looked at it, only to see Xue Ya standing behind me, and at the moment when my fist was about to fall on her face, my fist was firmly grasped by her hand.
"Snow, Xueya? It's you? I asked.
Xue Ya looked at me mysteriously and said, "Relax, don't be nervous, we are all alive!" ”
"What is this place?" I settled down, and asked Chong Xueya.
Xue Ya held a strong flashlight, looked around, and said slowly, "Have you heard of it...... Shenjiang tomb? ”
"Shenjiang Tomb?" I couldn't help but be shocked!
The Shenjiang tomb is so dangerous, the yin and yang are halfway to the side, and if you accidentally go the wrong way, this body will be crippled if you don't die!
Because the tomb of the Shenjiang Tomb sinks to the bottom of the river, it is surrounded by the river and soaked all the year round, forming an extremely dark environment, so the Shenjiang Tomb is also known as the Yin Corpse Tomb. The corpses in the burial chamber, in such an environment, will have two diametrically opposed extreme results, one is that the corpses quickly decompose, and there are no bones left, rotting into a puddle of mud! Another possibility is that the corpse in this extremely special environment, rapid metamorphosis, the corpse, blood-red corpse hair, at first glance, the corpse is blood-red, so the yin corpse is often called blood corpse.
Now that I think about it, the Ming Dynasty shipwreck that Xue Ya wants to salvage is very likely to be a Shenjiang tomb! One of the biggest advantages of the Shenjiang Tomb is that it ...... Guard against theft!
"Jiang Yuan, what kind of voice do you hear?" Xue Ya's words broke my contemplation.
I tilted my head sideways, pricked up my ears, and tried to catch the air, listening only to the sound of "squirming", from far to near, from large to small.
After listening carefully for a while, I only felt a chill down my back and a tingling of my scalp...... It's the sound of a ghoul!
The Ghoul Rat is a very old underground creature, and it is commonly found in ancient tombs, especially large tombs, and can be found everywhere! Ghoul rats feed on carrion and underground insects, and when they do not get food for a long time, they can go into a state of long-term dormancy like turtles and black bears.
The eyes of the ghoul rat are pale green, and all the ghoul rats that have eaten the corpse will turn their eyes blood red, because they have lived in the dark and damp underground for a long time, so the ghoul rats are most afraid of seeing the light!
The sound of "squeaking" became louder and louder, and finally turned into a strange cry of "squeaky chirping".
Through the hazy light emitted by the human oil lamp, I saw countless corpse rats, black and oppressive, rushing towards me and Xueya.
In a hurry, I shouted at Xueya: "Fire, is there fire?" ”
Xue Ya reached out and took out a flamethrower from the backpack she was carrying.
This flamethrower is a patented product developed by Hive for outdoor survival.
Xue Ya raised the flamethrower, and quickly pulled the board machine against the ghoul rats that pounced on the black pressure, only to hear a strange sound of "snort", and in the dimness, a firelight, like a fire dragon, rushed into the group of ghoul rats.
The fur of the ghoul rat is different from that of ordinary mice, the color is black and red, black and shiny and smooth, and it ignites when it encounters fire!
The "fire dragon" scurried into the group of corpse rats, and the entire group of corpse rats exploded in an instant!
The ghoul rats whose fur was ignited on their bodies squeaked wildly, and drilled into the rat swarm like crazy, and everywhere they went, the raging flames quickly ignited the fur on the bodies of other ghoul rats, and the entire ghoul rat group turned into a huge flame.
The fur burned, making a "crackling" sound, and the air quickly filled the air with a rich, pungent smell of burning.
Xue Ya held a flamethrower and wanted to continue attacking, but I grabbed Xue Ya's arm and yelled at her, "Run!" ! ”
I grabbed Xue Ya's arm, and in a flash I dived into the stone cave next to me, and then I didn't stop, just bowing my head and running forward.
I don't know how long we ran in one breath, but we only heard the sound of "booming and lala" in the distance, and in the depths of the stone cave, it turned out to be an underground river!
Xueya and I stood by the underground river, panting for breath.
On the holes in the surrounding stone walls, human oil lamps suddenly flashed violently! Xue Ya exclaimed, "Hurry, hurry, look!" Jiang Yuan, that, that, what is that? ”
I looked in the direction of Xue Ya's finger, and saw a white jade coffin floating on the surface of the underground river.
The deep stone cave, like an underground river like a pool of stagnant water, drifting on the water, the motionless white jade coffin, in a trance, the scene in front of me seems to appear in my dreams countless times.
The moment she saw the white jade coffin, Xue Ya suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahaha...... Hahahaha...... There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Found it, finally found it! ”
As she spoke, Xue Ya struggled and wanted to jump into the underground river!
Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped her and reminded her loudly: "Don't go down, don't go down, there's something in this water!" ”
However, Xue Ya didn't buy my obstruction and reminder, she seemed to have lost her mind, her originally smart eyes, without a trace of aura, her gaze became extremely dull, and her mouth kept talking to herself: "Found it, I finally found it...... Hahaha...... Hahahaha......"
Xue Ya muttered to herself, and suddenly, she threw her arms violently, trying to break free from my block.
Xue Ya struggled violently, and in the end, she could not break free from my restraints, but kicked a stone under her feet into the underground river.
At the moment when the stone was about to fall into the river, it heard a loud "bang", and then the water splashed on the surface of the river, and a prehistoric monitor lizard, with a blood-red bloody mouth, burst out of the river.
The prehistoric monitor lizard, biting the falling stone, its teeth as hard and sharp as steel cones, "squeaked" a few times, and instantly bit the stone to pieces!
The prehistoric monitor lizard was like a tiger patrolling the mountains, constantly swinging its thick and long tail in the underground river, patrolling its territory back and forth.
The huge underground karst cave and the unique underground river environment made the prehistoric monitor lizard escape the surface catastrophe hundreds of millions of years ago, avoid the natural law of survival of the fittest, and successfully survived.
The prehistoric monitor lizard still retains the majestic posture of the dinosaurs, the overlord of the earth, with its head held high, its teeth and claws, and its fine and compact scales are shining and shining.
Obviously, this underground river in front of you is the territory of this prehistoric monitor lizard, and it will use its life to defend its territory to the death.
The prehistoric monitor lizard has become the loyal guardian of the white jade coffin adrift on the surface of the underground river!
