Chapter 084: Legendary Jiaolong
The short sword struck and headed towards the forehead of the giant snake, the scale armor of the giant snake's head seemed to be still in the process of transformation, and it should be the softest place. The dagger was aimed at the flame mark on the snake's forehead, which was the most striking and at the same time gave people an uncomfortable feeling, which was very eerie.
The giant snake could only wriggle, unable to move in a wide range, and when the short sword attacked, the snake head wanted to get out of the way, but it still didn't move much distance, and was hit by the short sword at the position slightly below the flame mark. Where the short sword hit, it sank into a small pit, but it still failed to break through the defense of the giant snake, and it felt like it was piercing the steel plate.
Han Wei's hand was shaken by the rebounding force, and he trembled a little, and waited a few seconds before recovering, and attacked the giant snake again. Han Wei had already discovered that the giant snake was very concerned about the flame mark on its forehead, and it might really be its weak point. This time, Han Wei put away his mind, there were only three things in his heart, the short sword, the white jade ring, and the giant snake, and he wanted to attach the power of the white jade ring to the short sword.
Han Wei didn't know what power the white jade ring could attach, but the white jade ring and the giant snake were both mysterious things, and using mysterious things to fight the mysterious would definitely have a much better effect. As Han Wei's mind turned, the white jade ring flashed a flash of light, shooting directly at the short sword, and then submerged into it, without seeing the slightest trace.
Everything was in the midst of lightning, and the short sword stabbed the serpent the moment the light did not enter the sword. Although the serpent still dodged, the dagger's attack speed seemed to be a point faster, and it successfully hit the flame mark.
The giant serpent suddenly swayed, and in a low roar, white substances continued to spew out of its mouth, and everything that was stained was frozen, and it shattered after a while, once a person was frozen, it was absolutely the same, no matter what, a person could not be harder than a rock.
Han Wei has a white jade ring, which can be controlled at any time, but he still doesn't dare to take risks, dodging left and right, dodging the white substance while retreating backwards. Lao Zheng always paid attention to this side, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he had already walked deeper into the cave, and the speed was not very fast, first, he had to wait for Han Wei, and secondly, there was no light, so he couldn't see too far away.
Soon the two converged, the giant snake was just churning in a small area, and many implementations were smashed down, and they were also smashed on the giant snake, which had no substantial impact on Han Wei and Lao Zheng. The giant snake was hit countless times, and no major changes were found in the body, which shows that the scale armor is extremely hard.
"This is not a snake, it should be a Jiao."
When he was moving forward, Lao Zheng suddenly spoke, Han Wei didn't know much about the word Jiao when he heard it, he only knew that there was Jiaolong, and he didn't know if it was the same kind he was referring to.
When Han Wei was puzzled, Lao Zheng had already explained, saying: "Jiao is one of the legendary divine beasts, and it can turn into a dragon after a thousand years of practice, it is very similar to a snake, and it has the attributes of a dragon, but it is not as long as a dragon, and it does not have dragon horns, but it has four legs." The giant snake in front of him completely conformed to Jiao's description, but it was always just a legend, and I didn't dare to be completely sure. ”
Listening to Lao Zheng's words, Han Wei also believed that the giant snake was the legendary Jiao, although some things were legends, they did exist, but with the passage of time, or various factors such as the environment, they have disappeared, but no one dares to guarantee that in a specific environment, some species have been preserved, but they have not been discovered.
Han Wei knew something about the legendary beasts, and several times in Tibet some people found traces of dragons, some people said that it was a hallucination of a glacier at a specific angle, but on the clouds, the entrenched dragon suddenly took off, is it because of the glacier shaking? Apparently not, and if not, how can we explain it?
The giant snake is really a legendary species, so it is definitely an existence that is difficult to resist, and some of the attack methods used by the giant snake are already magical existences, and they are also evidence of the identity of the other party. Han Wei and Lao Zheng agreed on the same opinion, they could only go forward to avoid it, and they would not attack unless they had to.
As we continued, the road ahead began to twist and turn, and in several places the openings were too small for me to walk upright, so I had to crawl forward. Fortunately, the section that needs to be crawled is not very long, and I haven't encountered other weird things, so it's quite smooth.
After walking for more than ten miles, the caves extended in all directions, and in the absence of light, Han Wei and Lao Zheng had already lost their way. To be able to go so far, it is still because of picking up a few stones, constantly impacting, with the help of that faint spark, you can barely see the road clearly, but it is completely impossible to determine the direction.
After walking for so long, I didn't feel the giant snake coming up, I don't know if it was thrown off, or if the giant snake hadn't recovered and didn't catch up. Whatever the case was, it gave Han Wei and Lao Zheng time to breathe, and now that the speed is slowing down, there is no need to worry too much.
"Lao Zheng, look at what's over there." When the spark appeared, Han Wei saw that the stone wall at the end of the left front had obvious artificial traces, like a stone gate.
Lao Zheng looked in the direction that Han Wei was pointing out, and said after a while: "It seems to be a stone gate, is there still people living in it?" Or is it an ancient tomb? ”
In such an environment, it is unimaginable to want to live in people, even in ancient times, there were many people living in caves, but Han Wei thought that the possibility of ancient tombs was greater. The southwest region, especially the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, was a remote place of exile in ancient times, but it also had an extremely splendid civilization, and there were many magical large ancient tombs.
At this time, Lao Zheng picked up a few pieces of gravel and went around, which was regarded as throwing stones to ask for directions, except for the sound of banging, there was no other movement. Han Wei and Lao Zheng waited for a while before they stepped forward, but the speed was very slow, if it was really an ancient tomb in front, it was likely that there was a mechanism.
When they were only about seven or eight meters away from the stone wall, Han Wei and the others stopped not because they were cautious, but because they had no way, and there was a pool of deep water in the middle. Lao Zheng threw another pebble into the water, and he didn't hear an echo after a long time, indicating that the water was very deep, and it was impossible to wade through the water directly. If you want to move on, you have to take a boat or fly in the air, but neither is realistic.
Now I have seen that there is indeed a stone door at the end, and there are some runes engraved on it, there are not many words that appeared in ancient times in the southwest region, and Han Wei and Lao Zheng in front of him have not seen it, maybe it is not a text, it is some kind of special mark. It is impossible to judge what it is for the time being, especially not to see in great detail, and many details cannot be found.
Han Wei looked at the stone walls around him, and suddenly found that in a place dozens of centimeters underwater, the stone walls protruded more than ten centimeters, extending all the way over, like a specially carved road. In order to be sure that it was not an illusion, he squatted down and touched it with his hand, and it was real. It's just that the water is very cold, and if it weren't for the white jade ring, the whole arm would be numb in an instant.
Since there is a road on the stone wall, as long as you lean your back against the stone wall and walk forward slowly, you can walk to the position of the stone gate, and the distance of seven or eight meters is not too far, and it is not particularly dangerous.
"Would you like to go up and have a look?" Although Han Wei was curious about what was ahead, in the current situation, more things were better than less, and it was very important to preserve his physical strength, so he was still hesitating to go.
"Let's go and see if there are any other exits." After hesitating for a long time, Lao Zheng still decided not to take risks, whether he could go out or not was the most important thing at the moment.
Lao Zheng made a decision, Han Wei naturally had no opinion, and the two were ready to leave. After only a few steps, he heard a sound behind him, the sound of a stone wall being struck. Behind him was the place where Han Wei and Lao Zheng had just come, and there was movement at this time, and a thought appeared in both of their minds at the same time, that is, the giant snake caught up.
Whether it was or not, it was time to speed up, Han Wei strode away, and when he took the first step, he kicked on the stone, immediately lost his balance, and fell forward. It was impossible to stabilize his body, so Han Wei flipped his body to one side, and his back landed on the ground, reducing the damage to a minimum.
Severe pain came, even if it was an iron man, he couldn't move for a while, Lao Zheng found out about Han Wei's situation, walked in front and returned, just approached, before he could help Han Wei, there was a shock under his feet, Lao Zheng himself staggered, and it took a while to stabilize his figure. In this shaking time, Han Wei finally got up, but did not continue to move forward, staring at the front, his heartbeat accelerating rapidly.
The two blue rays in front of him were no strangers to Han Wei and Lao Zheng, and they were the eyes of the giant snake. The speed of the giant snake was faster than before, and the rugged cave seemed to have no effect on it, and it was only about three meters away from the two of them in a moment. The giant snake also stopped, its body was about to move, but it was afraid of something, and it didn't attack immediately.
Han Wei raised his right hand, and the white jade ring was facing the giant snake, only to see that the giant snake immediately retreated a few meters, it turned out that he was really afraid of the white jade ring. As soon as the giant snake retreated, Han Wei and Lao Zheng also immediately retreated, wanting to go deeper, but as soon as they moved, the giant snake also moved, always maintaining a distance of about three or four meters.
Suddenly, the giant snake roared, and the snake's tail slapped the ground violently, really shaking the ground, Han Wei and Lao Zheng couldn't stand steadily, and could only hold on to the stone wall on the side. The giant snake seemed to have lost its patience, getting closer and closer, and soon it was less than one meter, such a close distance, with the speed of the giant snake, once attacked, Han Wei and Lao Zheng couldn't avoid it at all.
The situation was urgent, Han Wei hurriedly stepped forward, holding the white jade ring high, and approached the giant snake, the giant snake just retreated about a meter, and then stopped, and the white substance spewed out again, the distance was too close, Han Wei couldn't dodge, and it became an ice sculpture in an instant. Han Wei thought about communicating with the white jade ring, thawed when the snake tail slapped over, and immediately rolled to the side, and there was a sonic boom in his ears, the crisis of the snake tail, I am afraid that it is more powerful than a bullet.
The direction of Han Wei's dodge was towards the stone gate, and under the pressure of the giant snake, he had already reached the pond, and there was no way to retreat. Lao Zheng didn't want Han Wei to take the danger alone, so he didn't retreat, he dodged the attack of the giant snake, and had already run to Han Wei's side, which was still the result of the giant snake's size being too big to attack.
The giant snake's repeated attacks were ineffective, and he was completely angry, and a few mouthfuls of white matter spewed out, and suddenly all around were frozen, even if Han Wei had a white jade ring, his feet were very slippery, and he couldn't walk fast. Then the snake tail attacked again, sweeping directly, without any dead ends.
