Chapter XXXVIII

Legend has it that the genus of turtles and snakes will grow pearls in their bodies when they reach a certain age, these jewels have different shapes, and some even have special effects, avoiding dust and water.

I asked Liu Shi, "What are you giving me this?" ”

Liu Dongxi said: "You can see it if you take a closer look." ”

I took the bone and looked at it several times, but I didn't find anything, and although the bone on my head had a special shape, there was nothing unusual about it, and I had grown several pieces myself. But in the middle of this bone there is a small round hole two fingers thick, and this hole is very smooth, as if it was born with it.

I said, "This snake has a hole in its head!" ”

"Yes, not only at the top of the head, but all the way down to the bottom!"

I didn't really understand what Liu meant, and when I turned my head to look at him, he gestured for me to see it myself. So I walked over to the huge skull and looked at it.

This skull must be the size of a single sofa, from the end of the nose to the back of the head, the lines are extremely smooth, revealing a strange beauty, and the bones on the top of the head were pried off by Liu Shi, revealing a hollow the size of a basin, which should be the cranial cavity of this snake. But at the bottom of the hole, a hole about the size of a bone appeared unnaturally, penetrating the entire head of the snake, through which I could see the ground illuminated by the firelight.

This snake is sick! The head turned out to be leaky! I reached in and tried it, the edge of the hole was very smooth, it should not be caused by injury, then it should be naturally generated, I have never seen any animal whose cranial cavity can grow into such a leaky appearance in a simple and rough way, it is really talented, no wonder it grows so big.

Liu Dongxi had already walked back from the snake's tail at this time, and seeing that I was still staring at the snake's head, he said, "Don't think about it, this snake died because of this!" ”

Such a fatal penetrating wound, even a dragon has to hang here, but what caused the wound to be so neat and smooth?

I ignored him, and touched the hole again, and this time I found a slight bulge along the hole, similar to bone hyperplasia. I remember watching a TV show before, which introduced that this situation is the result of the continued growth of the bone after the injury, could it be that this snake survived for a while after being so badly injured? I was a little shocked, so I asked Liu Shi, "How do you know that this snake died because of this?" ”

Of course, Liu Dongxi said: "I have checked the whole body of this snake, except for this unreasonable place on the head, there is no injury, such a big snake, ordinary small injuries will definitely not take its life, only here is it like a fatal injury!" ”

I recalled the courage of this snake, and I thought it was true, but I also raised my own doubts for Liu Dongxi.

Liu Dongxi touched it in the past, and also felt strange, and said after a long silence: "The vitality of the turtle snake is very strong, and it is possible for this snake to delay for a while after being injured and not die." ”

I think that since that has been said, I will put this issue aside for the time being, and the most important question is, who killed it?

At this time, both of us were at the end of our crossbows, and as our bodies became exhausted, our brains became stiff, and we both forgot the fragile side of life, and we would die if we didn't need to break our muscles and bones.

Despite this, we are both aware of the seriousness of this matter. There used to be such a powerful character in this place, although I don't know how many years have passed (looking at the degree of this bone petrification, I'm afraid I have to say "I don't know how many thousands of years"), but with the degree of evil in this place, we must not be normal theory, we have watched a lot of movies about the resurrection of ancient demons, and I definitely don't feel strange if those stories happen here.

We didn't bother with the snake anymore, but each of us picked up a bone for later use, and continued on with our torches. Several skeletons passed in front of them, most of them were complete, and a few of the vertebrae were twisted and broken, but all of them had a head that was transparent from top to bottom.

We didn't stay in these places for long, we checked it a little and moved on, and although the torches didn't shine on the edge of the space, I could feel the space expanding, and the feeling of being in the empty space gradually increased.

It was already a great feeling to climb a mountain, but fortunately there were broken stone steps under our feet, so that even weak people like us could climb to this height. In the middle, I looked down, and the snake bones were lying on the steps with their heads down, as if they were in a hurry to escape and were killed on the road. What kind of place would we be going, and it would be impossible for this beast to flee in a hurry.

As I thought about these things, I walked without paying attention until the steps were gone, and as soon as I stepped into the air, my body fell forward. Liu Dongxi grabbed my belt when he saw the opportunity, and I also reacted suddenly, and the torch in my hand was inserted into the ground at once, and with force on both sides, I stepped on the edge of the stone and fixed it there at a 45-degree angle.

I opened my eyes and saw that my heart was so dangerous, and a cold sweat suddenly came out, it turned out that there was a pool on the ground in front of me, and there were many bones in the pool, and a huge bone spur was rushing towards me obliquely, and the sharp tip was right in front of my eyes!

If Liu Dongxi's reaction was a little slower just now, I would have ended up with a liver and brain!

I hurriedly grabbed Liu Shixi's hand and stood up, Liu Shixin didn't speak, just raised the torch, but the fire was weak, and it could only shine on a small area in front of me, and I didn't know what else was in the distance.

At that moment, the torch I had planted on the ground suddenly burst into flames.

Bright light!

In front of me was a pool that was gently sloping downward, and countless unknown huge bones were lying on the ground in one direction, as if they were worshipping that place.

I immediately realized that the character who slew the serpent was the object of their worship, and how amazing the size of these bones must have been. But even these behemoths are no match for the ravages of time, and their muscles and strength fade over time, leaving only a pile of dry bones. Even those they surrender to cannot escape this law.

Liu Shiwu seemed to be frightened, muttering to himself that he didn't know what he was muttering, so I decided to ignore him for now and go down and take a look for myself.

I walked away a little to avoid the blazing torches, jumped out of the pool and walked in, I didn't feel anything on the shore just now, but now I felt very eerie, my body was crisscrossed by huge bones, and in the light of the fire there were strange shadows, and I felt only my hairs standing on end and terrified when I was alone in it. Actually, my reaction is normal, and I feel scared of anyone who comes here in such a place that is not popular.

I tried to calm myself down, and looked around, only to see that in the mass of bones, countless slender poles stood on the ground, and on each pole was a black sculpture. I walked along the skeleton beside me, a giant beast like a horse, with long, hoofed limbs, a curvaceous neck, and a long face pinned to the ground by a thin rod. I walked to the bottom of the pole and looked up, and the sculpture on top of the pole was sitting with its legs crossed, a strange face almost hanging down to my feet.

It turned out to be a Yonghe!
