It was a seven-meter-long python.

It apparently noticed the wreckage of its companions on the ground.

In a moment, something unexpected happened to Liang Cheng.

It bowed its head.

Little by little, he devoured the remains of his companions on the ground.

"Eat and devour the wreckage." Chu Pingqiu put his glasses on and gently supported the frame on the bridge of his nose, "The phenomenon of pythons eating pythons is very rare in the normal biological world. And today's phenomenon seems to me to be more like the recovery of the wreckage of a companion on the battlefield. ”

"Actually, there is another possibility." Zhao Youqiu said coldly, Chu Pingqiu turned his face and looked at him indifferently, so Zhao Youqiu continued, "Eat your companion, and then draw energy from your companion's body." ”

Assimilation?! Liang Cheng was taken aback.

"Since the Earth Dragon can draw energy from the food it eats to allow itself to evolve, I guess the Monty Python can do the same." Zhao Youyan explained coldly. Chu Pingqiu just nodded lightly and did not refute Zhao Youqiu's statement.

"What we are dealing with today is life from ancient times, and there are some things that are really difficult to explain with modern science." After a while, Chu Pingqiu said lightly.

"I think it's necessary for me to go to the place where you met the python before to find out." Chu Pingqiu continued, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Youqiu, "Why don't you take this girl back to the camp and let Liang Cheng take me to the place before you." ”

Liang Cheng pondered silently in his heart.

Zhao Youjing and Liang Cheng both know the location of the gully, if the three of us go to the gully together, then Chen Xiaojing must be a burden that cannot be ignored; If Liang Cheng was left alone to take Chen Xiaojing back to the camp, it would be difficult to ensure that we would be safe on the way back. Therefore, it is indeed the best decision to let Zhao Youjing take Chen Xiaojing back to the camp, while Liang Cheng and Chu Pingqiu go to the ravine.

"Don't worry, I've been more or less beaten by pythons." Chu Pingqiu didn't seem to be at ease when he saw Zhao Youxuan, so he lightly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and added.

Zhao Youyu thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

In the afternoon, Liang Cheng and Chu Pingqiu walked through the dense jungle, each holding a plastic pipe removed from a makeshift "shovel".

After walking for a full thirty minutes, we reached the edge of the ravine.

The ravine had collapsed, and beside the lush bushes and weeds was a sharp crevasse, beneath which was a messy gravel pit, like a blasted quarry.

A huge fault has formed between the fissure and the gravel pit, and the surface of the fault is a series of back-like rocks that go straight into the ground, which is the backbone of the earth.

"Since you entered from here through the ventilation duct of one of the rooms, there must be a hidden entrance to this cave in another place." Chu Pingqiu said lightly.

Chu Pingqiu continued: "According to your description, the distance between the penultimate cave of this cave and the last exit of this room is about a thousand meters, and if you extrapolate the length of the entire cave from this, it is about two thousand meters. ”

"With such a vast amount of work, it must be possible to have its owner's identity will not be low, but it is really difficult for people to choose to be buried with snakes in such a remote place."

Chu Pingqiu paced slowly along the collapsed fault, his brows furrowed on his face: "In the fault of the entire culture, the mainstream cave shape has always inherited the world's consistent pit wooden coffin tombs, earthen cave tombs and horizontal cave brick chamber tombs derived from the two, cliffs on the tributaries, and stone screens, as well as Pei Ping and many caves with local characteristics. ”

Chu Pingqiu said again: "From your general description of this cave, it is not difficult to judge that this cave should be derived from a tributary in the brick chamber. ”

"The general way of arranging caves is in a rectangular shape. That is, dig a pit from the ground downward, then open a hole horizontally at the bottom of the pit, and then gradually expand based on the hole. Chu Pingqiu paused, "Since the line connecting this room and the exit of the cave is pointing to the northeast, then the real entrance of this cave should be located somewhere in the southwest direction. ”

Chu Pingqiu squatted down again, drew on the ground with a plastic pipe in his hand, and muttered softly: "The place about a thousand meters in the southwest direction is ......"

“…… The snow-capped mountains where the Kuhl is stationed. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Pingqiu and Liang Cheng were both stunned in place.

After a while, Chu Pingqiu looked at the watch in his hand and said, "If you want to set off now, it will take three hours at the fastest speed." And the inference of the cave entrance, I am just guessing, the specific location of the cave entrance may not be so easy to find. We'll go back to camp and get ready, and we'll leave tomorrow. ”

Liang Cheng nodded lightly to agree with Chu Pingqiu's idea, so we turned around and walked in the direction of the camp.

In the evening, Liang Cheng and Chu Pingqiu sat in the seats in the cabin of the plane.

"Look at the evidence that there have never been aristocratic figures buried in the primeval forest here." Chu Pingqiu said lightly, "And it is particularly rare to have a beast mural, not to mention that there are very few beasts with snakes." ”

"And according to the artificial assignment of the image of the snake on the mural, it can be summarized as lucky, auspicious, sacred, longevity, reproduction, wealth and love, and there will be no suppression, killing, and revenge as you speculate." Chu Pingqiu looked at Zhao Youyu lightly and said.

"So if I had to make an inference, I would agree with the girl's brother's guess that the cave should have some special commemorative significance."

Zhao Youyan's expression was cold and he didn't speak.

"As for the murals and texts you mentioned, I guess there should be answers to all the questions we have." Chu Pingqiu gently held on to the frame.

"What do you mean...... What text can you read? Liang Cheng looked at Chu Pingqiu with a little surprise.

"Perhaps." Chu Pingqiu replied lightly.

After dinner, Liang Cheng walked alone outside the cabin of the plane. The lights in the cabin shone through the small windows that were nearly circular, projecting under Liang Cheng's aimless steps.

The jagged canopy of trees was reflected in the azure sky, and a few bright stars were scattered in the air, glowing a weak but clear white light. The moon seemed to be translucent, and the gentle moonlight blended with the sky and hung in a corner of the sky.

In this world, at this moment, Liang Cheng may be one of the countless beings who stop and look up at the starry sky.

Liang Cheng's existence is so small...... But Liang Cheng is still trying to survive. It's not because Liang Cheng's disappearing world will stop spinning, but because it's ...... In another part of the world, maybe it's close to you. There is a person who will wait silently because of your presence. It was already completely dark.

A messy sound from the severed tail of the plane caught Liang Cheng's attention. It seemed to be the sound of metal parts colliding with each other, so Liang Cheng walked in the direction where the sound came from.
