Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 48 Red Cockscomb Snake 2
From time to time, Cannon and Brother Li discovered our strangeness here and walked towards us. The two of them were shocked when they saw the red strange snake in front of us. Brother Li said: "Today is really an eye-opener, I didn't expect to see the legendary red cockscomb snake here." According to legend, seeing a cockscomb snake is a symbol of bad luck. ”
The cannon was also surprised: "This snake looks very fierce." I nodded, and asked a little impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find a way." ”
Brother Li said: "This snake grows in a dark environment and is very sensitive to fire. After hearing this, the cannon took out an incendiary bomb from his backpack and lit it and threw it over, the red cockscomb snake wanted to confront us, but when he saw the fire on the incendiary bomb, he ran away without a trace.
I just had a confrontation with the snake, and because I kept my posture unchanged for a long time, I felt a little numb in my legs. I subconsciously stretched my legs, while Li Tong and the cannon were in place. I said with some seriousness: "You have seen the situation just now. There is definitely more than one such strange snake here, so everyone should be careful. The other three nodded as I heard what I said.
Although we have just experienced something, we still can't stop. After a few minutes of rest, we continued our search. The scene in front of me is similar to that of Gunkanjima before, and when I first came, it was still a little fresh, and I would be aesthetically tired when I saw too much.
From time to time we come to the outside of a palace wall that resembles a majestic palace, and if you compare what we have just seen with this place, it is simply a difference between the clouds and mud. The outside is an extreme luxury, and here is a kind of convincing simplicity, but the simplicity reflects an invisible majesty.
"This should be the old inner city." I muttered, Li Tong looked at me with some surprise and said, "You know this, too?" I smiled and said, "I did some homework when I came." Li Tong's face was full of suspicion, and he said unconvinced: "I also saw it on a website in the United States before, and it is said that this is a top-secret historical material." I didn't expect to be found by you. ”
I didn't immediately make a positive rebuttal to this girl's question, but smiled and said, "Don't forget, it's an information society now." Moreover, in terms of the abundance of historical materials, China is no weaker than the United States. Li Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Blind and arrogant." ”
Instead of getting angry, I said more firmly, "This is cultural confidence, you know?" While we were talking, Brother Li suddenly interrupted our conversation and said nervously, "Did you hear any voices?" ”
As I listened closely, I felt a sound like a piece of iron scraping around me, a small but rather harsh sound. The cannon said in horror, "It can't be seen in a no-man's town, right?" Brother Li whispered in a slightly nervous tone: "It's not certain yet, so let's retreat outside together." It seems that there are quite a few heads. ”
I took the opportunity to take a look at the surroundings, and there was a high platform in the middle, and the terrain was relatively low. "Look, everyone, there's a high platform in front of you." I excitedly pointed to the center and continued, "Listen, the sound of those iron pieces rubbing against each other is coming from all sides, indicating that the high platform in the middle is safe. The other three didn't object, and they acquiesced to my idea.
After saying that, I took the lead and ran towards the high platform in the middle. At this time, the sound of the iron pieces rubbing against the floor is even more dense, and it makes people's scalps tingle, and it seems that those things are about to come out. "Run, everybody." I shouted as I ran.
The platform is getting closer and closer, almost like the pyramids of the Mayan culture, all made of marble, and composed of more than 100 stone steps from top to bottom. The cannon shouted in panic: "Seventh brother, red cockscomb snake." "The cannon shone the flashlight at the ground more than a hundred meters away from us, and the ground was full of those red snakes, densely packed like earthworms. I resisted the intense fear and shouted, "Everyone go up to the high platform. ”
Almost at the same time, the four of us ran to the high platform together, but although the red cockscomb snakes were smaller than us, they were moving extremely fast on the ground, and the sound of the iron pieces rubbing against the ground should be the sound of the scales of this thing rubbing against the ground.
In less than ten minutes, we finally climbed to the middle platform. It seems more accurate to call it an altar than a high platform, but there are more than a dozen stone pillars standing on the high platform, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, and a huge pit in the middle, but it is full of firewood and other things, and there is a smell of charcoal ash in the air.
How to make use of these things, I have never been at a loss.
"The snakes are coming up." Li Tong shouted in some panic, I looked back and saw that the vicinity of the altar was all surrounded by red cockscomb snakes, and the red light on the snake's body was enough to illuminate the darkness in the distance. Looking at this amount, it should be quite a lot. It's a snake pit!
What's worse is that these strange things are rushing towards us, not to mention falling into the snake pit, if you are bitten by this thing, it is estimated that you will not die or be disabled.
The cannon asked with some concern, "What now?" The corners of my mouth twitched a little: "I haven't thought of a specific way yet, but there is one thing these things that should be afraid of fire and light." So ......" Before I could finish speaking, I saw the snake in front open its big mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and the red venom on it dripped on the ground, and immediately a puff of green smoke came out.
This scene can't help but make my back break out in a cold sweat, it seems that these strange snakes are ready to attack. Seeing this, the other three were already ready, I, Brother Li, and the cannon copied the sappers in their hands, and Li Tong took out the barge pistol that had been poured from the arsenal.
Suddenly, the red cockscomb snake at the front shook its head and attacked me like crazy, and I picked up the sapper shovel in my hand and slashed it with a wave of my hand, cutting it in two. When the other snakes saw this, they attacked us one after another. I found the feeling of fighting with corpses in the Japanese arsenal again, and I couldn't help but speed up the sapper shovel in my hand. All I could hear was the sound of clanging iron, and the sound of pistols clanging and clanging. Within a few minutes, more than a dozen snakes in front of me would be cut off by me.
Li Tong's marksmanship is really good, basically no bullets, every shot can hit a snake, and everywhere is seven inches. And Cannon and Brother Li also used simple and crude methods like me to cut off and crush the strange snakes that dared to attack. For a while, the ground was full of red cockscomb snakes' heads and bodies, some of which had been separated, but were still opening their mouths, while some of the snake's heads were directly smashed by the sapper shovel.
