Immediately after Chu Jinshi marked this place, he went to call Chu Xuanting and General Li to come over, and called a few soldiers accompanying him to dig a small pit here, the more down the soil became, the wetter it became, it seemed that this place was found right, and continued to dig deeper, and what was dug was a pile of Bai Sensen's bones, obviously, things became more and more complicated, looking at the more and more bones were dug up, Chu Xuanting looked at General Li, if it wasn't for the execution or riot, it would be impossible for so many bones to appear at the same time, At the same time, although the flesh and blood of these corpses have corroded into nutrients from the soil, judging by the color of the bones, this batch of bones should be months old, but General Li said that he did not know about it.

That only shows that the maid has left something out of their sacrificial process.

Turned back to General Li's mansion, and found the maid to ask about the part of his sacrifice, from the sacrifice to the whole process, the maid answered without any ambiguity, seeing this, General Li couldn't hold his breath, so he said bluntly: "The general and the princes found human bones in the place where you sacrificed, and the number is as many as more than 30 bodies. ”

Hearing this, the maid's face immediately turned pale, and it was obvious that she knew something.

"If you don't tell us, we won't find the root cause, and the whole city will die." Chu Jinshi looked at her seriously at this time and said.

"The bones you dug up are the same people who spontaneously organized to repair the stone mountain, because they had been working there for a long time, and there was no place to drink water nearby, so they kept drinking holy water, and when they had cleared those obstacles, they returned to the city, and they died one after another, and within a month, not a single one survived, and everyone was afraid at that time, thinking that the gods thought they had violated the rules, so they punished them, and then they buried them all on the back of the holy water, trying to make them atone for their sins in this way. So as not to affect the people of Shunzhou at that time. As she spoke, the little maid began to cry.

After listening to her words, Chu Jinshi looked at General Li at this time and asked, "There have been so many murders in the land under General Li's jurisdiction, and the corpses have to be transported out of the city one by one, don't you have any suspicion at all?" ”

Before General Li could explain, the maid replied first: "General Li is not interested in this matter, they brought people out by transporting straw." ”

And Chu Xuanting also interrupted Chu Jinshi's words, the top priority, solving this plague is the top priority.

So Chu Xuanting and the others also immediately got up and rushed to the sacrificial place, sure enough, the root cause was still on that holy water, as for what was the source behind it, it would be possible to reach it soon.

This time, I simply went to check the collapsed mountain first, Chu Jinshi found a small hole from the side, and then they knocked along this mountain, and the sound it made was different from the mountain in other places, it seems that there is a cave here.

When Chu Xuanting and the others called more soldiers and used gunpowder to blow up this mountain, they found that there was a huge cave here, standing at the entrance of the cave and seeing no end in sight, just standing at the entrance of the cave made people feel a chill, but there was wind gushing out of the cave, which meant that there was another exit from this cave.

Chu Xuanting walked in without hesitation, Chu Jinshi and General Li also followed, and the rest of the soldiers were waiting outside, the situation ahead was unknown at this time, and it would be difficult for too many people to exit if they encountered an emergency.

Walked about half a stick of incense inside, the place inside is wider, the cliffs above their heads and around are full of bats, at this time the three of them have to hold torches back to back and move slowly, the environment here is dark and damp, I am afraid that I will encounter more of these things that inhabit the cave, and after walking about half a pillar of incense, there are many branches in the cave, the three of them decided to move forward together, so as not to encounter any emergencies, they chose a road with the largest space, and left a mark with it, Just as the torches were about to be extinguished, they walked to the center of the cave.

What they saw at this time was the undercurrent they were looking for, in the center of the cave was a huge pool, surrounded by many small branches, and they seemed to have come from a higher place, so they never saw the water, but there was a bright light above the pool, and it seemed that the other exit of the cave was above here.

Just as they were about to go to the pool to take a look, a black shadow fell from the top of the pool and fell into the water, and when the black shadow poked its head out of the water, they realized that it was a giant python with two heads.

The faces of the three of them changed, and they quickly drew the swords they were carrying.

Seeing the firelight, the giant python did not dodge, but rushed straight towards them, although the speed of the snake was fast, but fortunately, the three of them had already taken precautions, and the blow was dodged. Seeing that the attack failed, the snake quickly returned to the water, poked its head out in the middle of the pool and continued to look at them.

And at this time, the faces of the three of them were even heavier, the snake's body was black, as thick as a big tree, and its body was about 20 meters long, although it was shared by two ends, but its actions were more flexible than ordinary pythons, and the pool was just enough to make it flexible and free to find the next time to attack them, if they were not a group of three, only one person came in, and they would not be able to get out of this cave today.

At this time, the three of them tacitly retreated together, and before they walked out of a few meters, the snake seemed to see their intentions, and attacked them again, but at this time, the giant python did not seem to plan to attack in close quarters, and there was still a distance of about five meters from them, and the two snake heads spit saliva at them at the same time, seeing this, Chu Jinshi and General Li avoided on both sides respectively, and at this time, a string of white foam appeared on the stones contaminated with saliva, and the poison of this giant python was actually corrosive?

Although Chu Jinshi and General Li avoided it, Chu Xuanting was independently exposed in front of the giant python at this time, and when Chu Jinshi reacted and wanted to fly forward, the giant python had already rushed towards Chu Xuanting, and at this time Chu Xuanting was not panicked at all, when the giant python was only one meter away from him, he used the advantage of light power to immediately fly into the sky, when the giant python pounced in the air and planned to return to the pool, how could Chu Xuanting let it get his wish, and immediately approached with light power, and cut off its left head the moment it turned around, At this moment, the python let out a roar in its throat and swam faster towards the pool.

At this time, Chu Jinshi and General Li also retreated to Chu Xuanting's side, looking at the snake head on the ground, the three of them were even more vigilant, this snake is not only treacherous, but the venom is also so deadly, but the speed of action has not slowed down at all after being cut off a head, if there is more than one here, then they will be dangerous.

But after the snake sank into the pool, it didn't show its head again, and the three of them were about to step forward to check the situation, when suddenly there was a huge splash in the pool, and what they saw at this time was a giant python with two heads, and the three of them all gasped, the giant python that had been cut off by Chu Xuanting was being devoured by this giant python at this time, and its eyes were looking at them straightly, and their eyes were full of hatred.

At this time, the three of them tried to retreat as far as they could, and the torches in their hands were about to be extinguished, and if they did not leave this place before the torches were extinguished, they were afraid that they would all die here today.

While the giant python was still devouring their companions, the three of them quickly retreated outward, seeing that they were leaving, the giant python stopped eating and quickly rushed towards them, the same as the previous snake, but the difference was that it rushed over again without hitting the first blow, even if the three of them used light skills, they couldn't get rid of it too far, at this time Chu Xuanting shouted loudly: "Throw the torch at its head together, and you go down with me when you are in Jinshi." ”

At this time, both of them knew what Chu Xuanting wanted to do, this might be their only chance, if they failed, in the absence of lighting, they would inevitably die in the belly of the snake.

The three of them were forced to the edge of the cliff at this time, and this was also the farthest place from the pool, Chu Xuanting shouted: "Throw! ”

Then he immediately rushed towards the head of the snake like an arrow, and Chu Jinshi followed closely behind.

When the snake dodged the torch, the two were only a meter away from the snake's head, and at the same time plunged their swords down, and the python fell to the ground with a bang.

At this time, the three of them were relieved, did not stop for more, the three of them walked to the edge of the pool, with the help of the fire box they carried, the three of them could barely see, but the pool was bottomless, they didn't know what was underground, the three of them walked along the pool to the side of the tributary, and walked for about a stick of incense, here you can directly see the things at the bottom of the tributary, this place is full of bones, there are animals, there are also humans, presumably this python brought in food from outside.

After seeing it clearly, the three of them didn't stop long, and walked towards the exit, after all, they didn't know what else was at the bottom of the pool.

Back in General Li's mansion, the three of them fell into contemplation, so that the people of the city contracted the disease, it should be because of the two giant pythons, the saliva of the giant python is highly poisonous, and the prey it hunts is all in the water, the reason why the thirty strong men died violently should be drinking too many holy water, too many toxins accumulate and the poison is sent quickly, and the rest of the people are drinking during the sacrifice, and the amount is very uniform, the toxin accumulation and the influence of the climate, according to each person's different physique, the order of poison is different.

Although the key to understanding the source of its poison.

But they had never seen such a snake before, so how could this poison be cured? Back in the city, General Li immediately summoned the doctors of the whole city and described to them the appearance of this giant python, as long as the antidote to poison is found, the people in the city can be saved.

Unexpectedly, many doctors were able to cure the poison.

For a while, Chu Xuanting had nothing to do, and when everyone was helpless, a letter was sent to General Li's mansion, and Chu Xuanting was named to open it in person.

Zhu Xiu looked at Ye Shuyun at this time, her eyes were full of admiration, her own princess was versatile, skilled in martial arts, and beautiful, which was really good.
