Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 47 Red Cockscomb Snake 1
Li Tong continued to look at the stone button and said, "If you look closely, what is the difference between the gilt color near the button and what we see in other places?" I asked with interest, "Is there any other doorway here?" ”
Li Tong, the girl, approached the gilt gate and continued: "The gilt color here is darker, and the composition of the darker color looks like a door from a distance. I had previously browsed a magazine dedicated to the 36 countries of the Western Regions, which was dedicated to the origin of the gilded gate. ”
"What's the origin?" Cannon also came and asked with interest. Li Tong sorted out his thoughts for a moment and continued: "The Western Night Kingdom, all of which are Drifting Sands, once annexed the Puli Kingdom, the Deruo Kingdom, and the Yinai Kingdom on the Pamir Plateau. But perennial by the Xiongnu invasion, according to legend, in order to prevent their country's treasures from being plundered, they specially built a gilded gate, and in order to prevent the clansmen from offering the treasure to the Xiongnu, so they put the whispering evil ghost near the gilded gate. For a long time, many people thought that the gilded gate was a legend, but they didn't expect it to really exist. There may also be evil spirits in the region that wish for this. ”
I suddenly said, "No wonder you didn't let me press this button just now, it turns out that there is really a doorway here." Li Tong did not speak, representing acquiescence.
But now the problem is that we have to go in to find the coffin of the Western Night King. On the one hand, if we go in, we don't know what danger awaits us. But on the other hand, if we stop there, the operation may end there.
The cannon suddenly said: "No matter how much he has, let's add it in first and see." If it really doesn't work, let's withdraw. Li Tong retorted: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be too late to run." ”
For a time, we were in a stalemate and in a dilemma.
"Since everyone is here for the same purpose, we have broken through so many swords, mountains and fires, how can the demons and monsters in front of us withstand us?" I said it arrogantly. The cannon echoed: "It's okay, even if the seventh brother dies, I will die with you." "How do I feel weird when I hear this, it's like a confession." I'll go, I'm going to get Ji back, don't disgust me here. I dropped this sentence and hurriedly ran away, and the province was misunderstood to be incorrect.
Straight to the point. If you open this door, traps will definitely be indispensable. I looked at the other three, and they all had a look of certainty written on their faces. Turning around, I carefully put my hands on the buttons made of the comb, and pressed down hard, but there was no movement. We all looked around suspiciously, could it be that our dragon was wrong?
For a long time, I only heard a sound of metal friction in the distance, the sound from far and near, and gradually came to our vicinity, only to see the gilt door in front of us slowly open, with the opening of the stone door, a wave of air on the ground to kick up dust. Maybe it's because there has been no ventilation for a long time, and when the mechanism is turned on, there is naturally a dusty phenomenon.
After the stone door opened, Li Tong threw out a flare, and the originally dark space was instantly illuminated. We looked around and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. "Where are the demons of hell here? Did Miss Li deliberately bluff us? The cannon slowly approached me, whispering.
"There's no reason for her to do that, don't think about it." I said impatiently to the cannon. Li Tong next to me may have heard the conversation between me and Li Tong, and coughed a few times, so that the cannon did not chatter.
Moving on, the air was filled with a smell that made you want to doze off because it hadn't been connected to the outside for too long. The further you go in, the more gorgeous the building is, it can be described as a carved beam, I didn't expect that the West Night King City, which has been living all along, has been sleeping here for more than a thousand years. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have felt that we had come to a dream country.
Continuing forward, the ground is inlaid with this marble, the large and small rooms with circular vaults are lined up, and the streets are full of rare treasures, and there is a jade carving of various birds and beasts every fifty meters apart, this level of luxury cannot be better described. But before I walked a while, there were some dead bodies lying on the ground, as if they had experienced extremely painful things before they died, and they were still making the last struggle, judging from the clothes on their bodies, they should be the craftsmen who were used to build the royal city.
The cannon didn't estimate this, and they searched everywhere vigorously, and forgot all about the situation that had just been damaged outside. "Be careful, everybody." I instructed, but unfortunately the goods turned out to be a deaf ear, which is really not a long memory.
Li Tong and Brother Li were looking around. "Snakes, snakes here." Li Tong suddenly screamed and shouted. I immediately ran to Li Tong's side, only to see Li Tong shoot his hand at a railing not far ahead. I looked at it and smiled and said, "No, isn't it dazzling?" ”
The girl shook her head and said, "No, no, there are definitely snakes here, the kind with red bodies and cockscombs." I continued, "Where did the snake go?" Is there really that thing? ”
Li Tong pointed to a crack under the fence in a panic and said, "Then, that snake got in." As soon as I heard that, I put the flashlight in my armpit, and took a long wooden stick in my hand and cautiously walked towards the gap pointed by Li Tong.
The gap is not large, but it can accommodate a snake. I trembled and stretched the wooden stick into the crack, only to feel a soft feeling coming from the wooden stick, and I was sure that Li Tong was not dazzled. "How can there be snakes in here, are they raised?" I wondered.
A few times the stick reached into the crack, and occasionally felt the thing move. I simply didn't do it twice, and glued the wooden stick into the crack a few times. "I don't believe you're going to be able to hold on." I cursed inwardly.
As Li Tong said, a snake with a red body, a cockscomb on its head, and a snake about fifty centimeters long spiraled out of the crack, and when he saw me in front of him, the crown immediately stood up, and the red of his whole body was like being lit by fire, and he looked at me fiercely.
I felt a pang in my heart, and the wooden stick in my hand was still a little unstable, but when I thought of Li Tong next to me. If I flickered, she would have panicked, and if the snake had seen us run away, the consequences would have been unpredictable. And judging from its physical signs, this snake should be a venomous snake, and it has a ferocious personality, somewhat similar to the black mamba in Africa and the king cobra in India, which is poisonous and aggressive, so we must not panic at the moment.
Li Tong asked a little tremblingly, "Now, what should we do now?" I said helplessly: "You ask me, how do I know that this thing is now confronting us, and we are now dancing with snakes." Li Tong muttered: "I've seen people dance with wolves, but I haven't heard of them dancing by default." I continued, "I haven't seen it before, but I opened my eyes today, right?" ”
"So, what do we do now?" Li Tong grabbed my left hand tightly, and the fear was palpable. I looked at the red cockscomb snake in front of me, this guy shouldn't attack us yet, but Ji Jingjing maintained an offensive posture.
I smiled and said, "Now we are competing with this thing, and we are going to overwhelm each other in momentum." After listening to me, Li Tong was still a little scared, but calmed down a little.
For a while, the two sides confronted each other like this.
