Chapter 346: Scorpion
But at this time, the flashlights of the four of us had already scanned the entire tomb, and found neither the trace of the giant python nor the figure of the green-haired man, and the whole tomb was quiet for a while, as if only the four of us were left.
The eighth child was a little impatient, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth, "Brother, what is the situation?" Could it be that the python and the green-haired man disappeared in an instant? The world has evaporated? ”
I don't feel so about Lao Ba's statement, I always have a vague feeling, I feel that there must be some convenient passage in this tomb, which can shuttle between the corridor and the tomb, if it weren't for this, it would be impossible for the giant python and the green-haired man to disappear into the tomb in such a short period of time! The green-haired man must have known the exact location of this convenient passage and how to open it, while the giant python followed closely with its keen sense of smell and perception.
After telling the Seventh Master my thoughts, he also nodded, and said in a low voice, "That giant python doesn't seem to be coming at us, if it is really determined to attack us, it is estimated that Bai Yu has been swallowed by it just now." ”
I also deeply sympathize with the words of the seventh master, this giant python is extremely powerful, and the body is covered with scale armor, it is difficult to hurt it with an ordinary sword, just a contact with it, it can put me to death, but it just slipped away from me, I estimate that this giant python has a grudge against the green-haired man, this is a revenge coming.
After a while, a few of us suddenly heard a rumbling sound from under the floor of the tomb, as if something was hitting the wall, and the force was so great that it felt like the upper chamber was shaking slightly.
"Seventh Master, did the giant python get under our feet?" The eighth asked worriedly.
And this seventh master was very calm, and said, "No matter where the giant python goes, in short, it has not come to attack us now, and the green-haired man has not survived in this ancient tomb for a day or two, there must be a way to deal with the giant python, now what we have to do is to quickly find an exit and leave this ancient tomb!" ”
As soon as the seventh master's voice fell, he walked towards the tomb door of the tomb, and I and Lao Ba quickly followed, and when we arrived in front of the tomb door, we found that the tomb door had already been opened, and a narrow corridor appeared in front of us.
Seeing this, Wang Chuyi couldn't help frowning, looked at the seventh master and said, "I think, this road is definitely not the way out." ”
The eighth child was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked, "Why?" How do you know? ”
"That green-haired man has been trapped here for thirty years, if this road can get out of this ancient tomb, I guess he would have gone out a long time ago!"
Wang Chuyi's words also make sense, but the current situation, it seems that there is only this one way to go, this tomb is surrounded by brick walls, only this tomb door, if you don't go from here, then you can only find the convenient passage where the green-haired man hid just now, but the giant python has just gotten in, even if we can find the passage now, we can only send death when we go in, it is better to take this tomb road first, and see what mysteries are in front of it.
Thinking of this, a few of us no longer hesitated, and walked towards this tomb road, this tomb road is very narrow, when we first came in, the width can still accommodate the three of us walking side by side, but the more inside, the narrower the width, and when we walk out of twenty or thirty meters, the width can only barely allow a person to pass sideways.
The eighth child and I became more and more panicked as we walked, thinking that this tomb road is not passable? Don't go to the end and get stuck in the wall, if there is some mechanism in this tomb that triggers the tomb wall to close, then we will be crushed to death in an instant.
Just when the two of us were muttering in our hearts, the seventh master who was walking in front said, "Rest assured, since there is a tomb door in this tomb, it must be open, let's speed up, as long as we get out of this tomb, even if the giant python kills us, we will not be afraid." ”
What the Seventh Master said makes sense, this tomb is so narrow, even if the giant python kills it, it will never be able to get in.
We continued to walk forward, and after walking for about two or three minutes, we only heard the seventh master shouting, "Come on!" Here's something! As soon as the words fell, I saw the figure of the seventh master flash, and he disappeared in front of me.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and hurriedly leaned over, only to see that the exit of this tomb was far higher than the ground, on the wall of a tomb, and at this time the seventh master had jumped down from the exit of the tomb, holding a torch below, and was waving his hand at us.
Seeing that the seventh master was fine, I breathed a sigh of relief, and after reminding Wang Chuyi and Lao Ba to be careful, I also jumped down, but the moment my feet fell to the ground, I suddenly felt wrong, why does the ground here seem to be soft?
I was shocked, and quickly looked down, but found that on the floor of the tomb, there was a very thick layer of silt, the thickness of this silt has not exceeded the ankle, and it is extremely soft to step on, as if stepping on cotton, but when I want to lift my foot and walk forward, I find that the suction of this silt is very large, although I can lift my feet, but it is very difficult, and every step takes a lot of physical strength.
As Wang Chuyi and Lao Ba both jumped down, we began to continue to walk forward, because of the mud under our feet, our speed has been unbearable, almost five or six seconds, before we can take a step, if we are not now wearing high-barreled military combat boots, I am afraid that the shoes will have been glued off by this mud.
Ten minutes, we only walked out less than a hundred meters, just when we were worried about the mud, suddenly I heard a strange friction sound, I hurriedly raised the flashlight to shine forward, only to see not far from our left, there was a person lying down, this person was facing up, hands spread, obviously dead, but it seemed that he was in great pain before he died, the clothes on his chest had been scratched, the whole chest, stomach, all exposed outside, two legs twisted and folded together, It looks very weird.
"Let's take a look." After the Seventh Master said something, he walked towards the corpse.
I approached the corpse with a flashlight, and when I looked closely, the corpse was dressed in similar clothes to ours, a kind of training uniform made of more durable material, and there was a tactical rucksack left in the mud not far from the corpse.
When we got closer, I realized that the corpse was still fresh, and from my experience, the corpse would not have been dead for more than a week at most.
Wang Chuyi frowned, looked at Lao Ba and asked, "Is this your person?" ”
Lao Ba shook his head and said, "Before my people could come in, they were all folded, and they were all folded outside the tomb." ”
Hearing Lao Ba say this, I couldn't help frowning, judging from the dress of this corpse, it must be a tomb robber, but this Wawu Mountain Ghost King Tomb is very dangerous, just like Lao Ba said, his brothers, before entering the ghost town, have all been folded in the mountains, it can be seen that as long as they can enter this ancient tomb, they are all experienced in battles, experienced old guys, these people generally do not go to the tomb alone, find a corpse here, then there must be others!
The seventh master and I hurriedly raised our flashlights to look around, and sure enough, not far from this corpse, another corpse was found!
"Oops, this team has suffered a lot of losses!" The schadenfreude on the face of the old eight.
I and the Seventh Master glanced at each other, as if we were going over to check on another corpse, but at this moment, Wang Chuyi shouted, "Seventh Master, look, the stomach of that corpse!" ”
Hearing Wang Chuyi's shout, Seventh Master and I hurriedly turned around to look, and found that the stomach of the corpse in front of us was high and bulging, although it was a male corpse, but at this time the belly was bulging like a pregnant woman who was seven or eight months pregnant.
At first, Qi Ye and I thought that this man was just simply fat, and I have seen a lot of men with beer bellies, and it is not without a big belly, but now the stomach of this corpse has begun to twitch, and it is obvious that there is something in the stomach of this corpse!
Before I could react, I heard a pop, and a small opening opened in the navel of the corpse, and a small white scorpion crawled out of it, which seemed to have just hatched.
Seeing this scene, the seventh master hurriedly shouted, "Not good!" Then he quickly took out a bottle of liquid from his bag and spilled it on the corpse's stomach.
Between the lightning and flint, I only smelled a pungent smell of alcohol, and what the seventh master was holding in his hand turned out to be a bottle of spirits!
"Fire!" At this time, the seventh master shouted, I hurriedly handed over the torch in my hand, and the moment the seventh master caught the torch, the corpse was set on fire.
I saw that the corpse's stomach began to twitch violently, and countless little scorpions desperately wanted to crawl out of it, at this time, the seventh master hurriedly took off the coat on his body, and covered the corpse's stomach at once, and the flames spread up, and soon the coat was burned.
"Let's go! It's too dangerous here! ”
After doing all this, the seventh master held the torch, opened his legs, and walked in the opposite direction of the corpse, because it was difficult to walk in this kind of suction in the muddy field, several of us heard the seventh master's shout, we didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed him forward, wanting to distance ourselves from the corpse as soon as possible.
While walking, the seventh master wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "This is a grate scorpion, extremely poisonous, I didn't expect to build a nest in the corpse of a dead person to lay eggs, once this kind of scorpion comes out, don't look at it as a freshly hatched scorpion, as long as it is bitten, it will also die!" Let's go! ”
As soon as the seventh master's voice fell, we all became nervous, and we wanted to run forward when we opened our legs, but due to the special environment here, although we all used our strength to feed, the speed of movement was still very slow.
