Chapter 11: Encounter with a Snake

The entrance to the cave under the steep slope is about two meters high and more than one meter wide.

Due to the long-term desertion, it has long been overgrown with weeds, and at this time, the entrance of the mine has been mostly covered by wild grass, and only the upper part of the cave can be seen.

Graphite pushed aside the wild grass to the entrance of the cave, the probe looked inside, only to see that there were faint gravel weeds inside, the light could only shine to the depth of the cave entrance, and then it was not clear to see clearly, the black rumbling inside was gloomy, there were several rock cracks on the top of the cave dripping water, like the huge mouth of an ancient giant beast, ready to choose people to eat, and like the gate to hell leading to the nine shadows, something would pounce out at any time in the dark.

At this time, he had a faint bad feeling in his heart, as if something was staring at him in the dark, but he didn't know what it was, he just felt very panicked, goosebumps all over his body, he shook his head vigorously, thinking to himself, probably because of his timidity.

This feeling of danger and uneasiness made him decide to throw a few rocks to explore the way before going in.

He bent down to look for a stone through the wild grass, and when his hand was halfway out, the feeling of danger became more and more intense, and before he could react, he felt his eyes daze, and a gray shadow like lightning hit him, and the outstretched hand seemed to have been bitten by something, and a tingling pain came from his wrist, and his hand immediately retracted, and he hurriedly took two steps back, and his heart was already frightened.

"What the hell? ……”

He came back to his senses and took a closer look, gasped, and found that it was a snake that attacked him, this snake was well camouflaged, and the skin patterns on its body blended with the surrounding vegetation environment, and it was generally difficult to find it unless he looked closely.

The snake was probably basking in the sun at the entrance of the cave, and it happened that graphite had inadvertently entered its territory, so it was suddenly attacked. Seeing that this snake was spotted all over its body, the triangular snake's head was slightly raised at this time, and from time to time it "hissed" outward and spit out snake letters, which was particularly scary to look at.

At this time, Graphite didn't have time to pay attention to the wound, and the threat in front of him had not been lifted, he glanced around a few times to find a guy to take advantage of, and carefully used the corner of his eye to be vigilant against the snake, and then quietly picked up a promising stone, and smashed it towards the snake at the right time.

He used all his strength this time, and the speed was also extremely fast, the snake couldn't dodge, and was smashed to pieces, although the snake's head was still twisting and struggling from side to side, but seeing that it was not alive, graphite didn't dare to take it lightly, and picked up another stone and aimed it at the snake's head again, finally completely removing the threat, and by the way, reducing its pain.

After doing this, he had time to realize that his heart was beating hard, and his hands and feet were a little weak, probably a symptom of tension and stress.

He sat on the ground, raised his wrist in annoyance to examine the wound, and found that there were two cherry red tooth marks on the place where he had been bitten by the snake, and the wound was very small, and it did not bleed, nor did it turn black, and he didn't even feel anything, and there was no sign of poison.

He quickly understood that his current physique was unusual, and it seemed that poisonous snakes could not pose a threat to him, and last night he verified that his body now has a super repair ability, and now, he knows one more thing, that is, this body still has incredible detoxification ability.

In just a few days, he got up from the abyss of despair and encountered the most bizarre experience in the world, which also brought him constant surprises, allowing him to gain a physique unimaginable to ordinary people.

Graphite couldn't help but look back at the iron shelf, where the glutinous rice dumplings made of star spirits were still enjoying its delicious food.

Graphite's heart inexplicably gushed with tenderness, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously drew a shallow smile.

He didn't hesitate any longer, got up from the ground, patted his pants, and walked into the mine.

As soon as he entered the cave, he immediately felt a cold air rushing over his face.

Perhaps graphite's physique at this time was already different from ordinary people, and it was only a slight discomfort at the beginning, and his body quickly adjusted accordingly, and in the blink of an eye, he quickly returned to a comfortable state at room temperature.

He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, shone on the depths of the mine and the surroundings, stepped on the sand and gravel under his feet and some stagnant water, and walked straight towards the depths of the mine......

When he actually walked in, he found that there was nothing particularly strange and eerie about this kind of mine.

Because it is a manually excavated cave, the cave is full of traces of artificial axe chisels, most of the four walls of the cave are composed of rocks, the rock on the rock wall is a kind of black and purple rock, these rocks are occasionally mixed with some golden crystalline minerals, I don't know what kind of ore it is, or nothing, or the collection value is too low, graphite is not known.

The deeper the mine goes, the drier it becomes, the graphite swaying flashlight goes all the way in, I don't know how far I walked, I guess it has to be two or three hundred meters, and then I came to the end, and what I saw along the way was actually the same.

"It seems that those people are digging and digging, and they are desperate when they dig here, it's no wonder, there are rocks all the way, this kind of hole is really not easy to dig by manual and simple tools, if you can't see hope, it does take a lot of courage to continue to throw money into it, these bosses are actually gambling on luck." Graphite thought to himself.

"I wonder if the Star Spirit will make a different discovery here?"

At the end of the mine there are several relatively large stones, which are estimated to have not had time to be transported out after being mined, and are now abandoned here, and graphite sits on a stone for a while.

It was so quiet that he couldn't hear anything, so quiet that he could almost hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

He suddenly had a curiosity and an impulse.

He turned off the flashlight, and there was no light from the flashlight in the hole, and all at once he fell into darkness, and he couldn't see his fingers, and after a while, he gradually got used to the feeling of being in this darkness, and it was a very strange feeling, as if he was cut off from the whole world.

Suddenly, he realized that the star spirits outside were calling to him.

"Ink ......"

At the same time, he immediately realized that something unexpected had happened, and he didn't have to guess at all, and he didn't need to guess anything, because he soon saw a tractor coming from outside the mine, a tractor full of bamboo, the tractor stopped on the road outside the mine, and a man jumped down, and he stared curiously at the graphite car, and walked over.

Graphite secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and it would be very bad if this person found the star spirit.

Graphite hurriedly said to Xing Ling in his consciousness: "Xing Ling, hide quickly, don't be discovered by this person." ”

At the same time, he hurriedly got up and ran towards the outside of the cave, muttering in his heart, "Please, don't be discovered, don't be discovered,......"

Soon, Graphite ran to the entrance of the cave, and he saw the man at a glance, at this time, the man was standing next to his car, looking curiously into the car, it is estimated that this person is just curious, how can there be an SUV parked here in this wilderness?

In order to divert his attention, Graphite had to deliberately shout:

"Hey! Be careful, there are snakes around here! ”

The man was originally spying on Graphite's car, probably without any psychological defense, so he was immediately startled when he heard Graphite's shout, he subconsciously turned his head to look, and found that Graphite was standing at the entrance of the cave and shouting at him, and suddenly realized that the other party said that there was a snake, and quickly glanced at the weeds under his feet, and unconsciously walked to the open place.

He looked up at Graphite, found that Graphite pointed not far away under his feet, and said loudly: "Here, you come and take a look, I just killed one." ”

The man laughed in horror and walked toward the graphite, keeping an eye on his feet as he went. When he got closer, he found that there was indeed a dead snake at the feet of graphite, and the man lowered his head to look at it a few more times, and couldn't help but change his color a little, and said:

"Tsk...... It's a poisonous snake! ”

As soon as Graphite ran out of the mouth of the mine, he quickly paid attention to the iron shelf, and the star spirit seemed to understand his warning just now, and sure enough, he hid himself, and even Graphite didn't know where it was hiding, probably in the grass, Graphite thought to himself.

Hearing the man's sigh, Graphite had no choice but to pretend to be afraid, and said with a smile: "Hey, it was almost a little bit just now, but fortunately I found it in time, otherwise, it would be really finished if I was bitten by it." ”

As he spoke, Graphite took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to the man, casually chattering: "Pull bamboo?" How many trips a day? ”

The man took the cigarette from Graphite, glanced at the cigarette case in Graphite's hand out of the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Not necessarily, sometimes two trips, sometimes one trip, depending on the situation." ”

The two of them lit their own cigarettes, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, and the two smoking guns naturally got a lot closer.

The man glanced at the graphite car and asked curiously, "Where are you?" How did you come here? ”

Graphite smiled: "I am from this village." ”

"Oh, you're from Rock Ridge Village? I don't seem to have seen ......you before, I often come to your side to pull bamboo, I still know a lot of people in your village, you just came back from outside, right? ”

The man heard that he was a local, and at this time he had already changed his speech to the local dialect, but Graphite understood it, but he was not very fluent in speaking, so he could only smile and say in Mandarin:

"Xia Gang, I'll go over there to study, hey......, look, it's so embarrassing, I can't even speak my hometown now."

The man laughed, and didn't care, and said, "Hehe...... It's normal, now young people are like you outside, you don't speak your hometown dialect when you come back, you speak Mandarin every day......"

Graphite nodded with a smile, and also sighed with some emotion: "It's all like this now, the change is too fast......"

As the saying goes, the two smokers quickly finished smoking a cigarette, and the man snorted and waved goodbye: "Go first, ...... are you busy."

"Okay, let's go......"

When the tractor completely disappeared from sight, Graphite exhaled secretly in his heart.
