Chapter 31: Dragon's Head Wood

He may have been swallowed by something, and then pulled out by the group.

Everyone's scalps were a little numb, and they discussed sealing the hole with cement.

Li Dequan's eyes stared at what the corpse was holding in his hand without blinking.

It was about half a foot long, and it was covered in digestive juices and was so slimy that it was impossible to see what it was.

Li Dequan asked people to untie the rope from the corpse, and then went to take the things in his hand in person.

The corpse's hand was clenched tightly, and it took a lot of effort for Li Dequan to take it out.

Li Dequan wiped off the mucus with his clothes.

Everyone was stunned to see that thing, it was actually a gold bar.

Gold bars weigh four or five pounds, and they are sure to be worth a fortune.

Some people say that there must be more gold bars in the cave, or should we arrange for someone to go down?

Li Dequan shook his head and said, "You can't go in again, otherwise someone will die, and everyone will seal the entrance to the cave." ”

Everyone had to listen to Li Dequan's orders, seal the entrance of the cave, and build this small building on it.

Nan Nan asked puzzledly, where did the gold bar go?

Uncle Chen said with a smile, "Of course, it was taken away by Li Dequan, and he gave everyone hush money and didn't allow us to talk about it."

I heard him say today that he was looking for someone to come to this construction, and I thought about what had happened, so I followed. ”

Mei Lin asked him, do you remember the approximate location of the cave entrance?

Uncle Chen looked up and said, it should be near the toilet.

Mei Lin immediately understood that the location of the hole was marked on the construction drawing.

Li Dequan killed several people, that is, those who did not come out alive after entering the cave.

Seeing Mei Lin's puzzled look on his face, Uncle Chen continued, I still remember that there was a word on the gold bar.

Nan Nan asked, what is the word?

Uncle Chen said, "It was a seal character, and we didn't recognize it for a while."

In the end, it was a person in the crowd who had studied for a few years who recognized it first.

He said it was a plum character, plum blossom of plum blossom. ”

Hearing his words, Mei Lin was stunned.

Nine times out of ten, engraved on the gold bar, it is the surname of the owner of the gold bar.

The name of the previous pharmacy was Mei Ji Tang, and the things in the cave were most likely left by the Mei family.

I just don't know where the owner of the Plum Hall went later.

By this time, the workers had already cut the ground under the toilet.

Mei Lin asked them to dig all the way down, and Uncle Chen went to work with them.

After half an hour, Uncle Chen said, "I have already seen the stone slab, and if I continue to dig down, the hole will be exposed." ”

Mei Lin was also a little nervous, and told him to continue digging.

Sure enough, a thick slate was exposed.

Mei Lin asked people to pry the slate open.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and a black hole peeked out from beneath the stone slab.

Then a musty smell wafted out of it.

Mei Lin and Nan Nan glanced at each other, gave the workers their wages, and sent them away.

Uncle Chen didn't ask for wages, he said, "One of my co-workers died inside.

I often dream of him, he doesn't see anyone alive or dead.

Over the years, it has become a problem for me.

I don't want a salary, as long as you let me know what's in the cave. ”

Hearing him say this, Mei Lin had to let him stay.

Mei Lin closed all the doors and windows of the medical center, and then turned the lights on.

Whether it's the Zhang family or the six fingers, the target is something in the hole.

He had a hunch that what was inside was certainly not simple.

Mei Lin asked Nan Nan and them to stay outside, and he took a flashlight and planned to go down.

Nan Nan said, "My father's death has something to do with this matter, and I want to go down to see what happens." ”

Nan Nan's personality is very stubborn, and what she decides is generally difficult to change.

Mei Lin asked her to follow behind, and the two of them walked towards the cave one after the other.

There's plenty of space inside for one person to stand up straight and walk in, just a little damp.

They walked five or six feet away, and the space became more open.

Nan Nan suddenly stopped, pointed to the ground and said, look!

Looking in the direction of her finger, Mei Lin saw a broken skeleton on the ground.

The bones were scattered all over the place, as if something had been spit out.

Every few steps, one of these skeletons can be seen.

Nan Nan took out the pistol and said in a low voice, "There must be something terrible in the cave, and the bones are the ones that spit out." ”

Mei Lin frowned and said, "The entrance to the cave has been closed for decades, and even if there is something, it is estimated that you will starve to death." ”

Nan Nan didn't speak, she held the pistol tightly, and every step she took was very careful.

Against the wall, rows of brick-like things were neatly stacked.

It was covered with dust.

Nan Nan said, "That's the gold bar that Uncle Chen said!" ”

After her reminder, Mei Lin remembered.

Could it be that the goal of the Six Fingers and the Zhang family is those gold bars?

For the Zhang family, it is quite possible.

Because that wealth helps them a lot.

But the six fingers are not necessarily, because he is a spiritual man.

He's interested in things that will improve his strength.

Mei Lin and Nan Nan walked up to the gold bar and wiped the dust off it.

Sure enough, each gold bar was engraved with a plum character written in seal characters.

There was a lot of space below, and the beam of the flashlight was quickly engulfed in darkness.

Let's go inside! Nan Nan said.

Their feet stomped on the ground with a dull thumping sound.

It sounds very harsh in this silent space.

Nan Nan suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Did you hear it, it seems to be the sound of the chains shaking!" ”

Mei Lin listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a few tinkling sounds.

He suddenly thought of something and said, "Hurry back!"

They hurriedly ran backwards for more than a kilometer.

A long chain peeked out from a short distance of them, and the chains were suddenly taut.

At the same time, two red lanterns lit up in the dark.

They leaned their backs against the wall and shone their flashlights in front of them.

Only then did it become clear that what appeared in front of him was a snake head the size of a basin.

The snake's body is dark green, and the red lanterns they see are its eyes!

The head of the snake stared at them condescendingly, and the red snake more than a meter long was uncertain.

What a big snake! Nan Nan exclaimed.

It is very likely that the few people sent in by Li Dequan were swallowed by it.

The most conspicuous thing is that on the head of the giant snake grows a small tree the thickness of a wrist and more than a meter high.

The small tree is red all over, and it is constantly absorbing nutrients from the body of the giant snake, and it grows very luxuriantly.

Mei Lin had never seen such a strange tree.

At this time, the figure of the master appeared from the side.

Her voice was excited, and she said, "That's the dragon's head tree, a very precious tree species.

Get your hands on it, it's very helpful for you. ”

You can see a giant snake writhing like a fierce god.

Mei Lin's scalp is straight and numb.

The serpent has lived for hundreds of years and already has a spirituality.

The Mei family locked it up here just to take care of the gold bars.

Whether or not they can get out alive is a question.

It was not easy to get hold of that dragon's head tree.

Mei Lin hurriedly asked, Master, do you have any good ideas?

Master said, "I haven't recovered my strength yet, so I can't help you at all, so I can only rely on myself!" ”

After saying that, Master's figure disappeared.

With a snort, the snake's head devoured towards Nan Nan.

Compared with Mei Lin, Nan Nan's speed is much slower.

Mei Lin pushed her away.

As if a whirlwind was blowing past him, the snake's body twisted and wound towards Mei Lin.

Mei Lin hurriedly retreated, and the snake's body was wrapped in the air.

Most of its body peeks out from behind the gold bar.

The one that was exposed alone was four or five feet long.

Around its neck is a thumb-sized chain made of pure gold.

The length of the chain is limited, and when the serpent exceeds that range, it becomes bound by the chain and has to retreat.

Mei Lin and Nan Nan stood in the distance in shock, staring at the giant snake that kept struggling.

There was a fierce light in its eyes, and it wanted to swallow them immediately.

Nan Nan fired several shots in a row, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the hole, shaking the dirt on the walls.

To their surprise, the snake's skin was very strong.

The bullet hit it, leaving blood trails on it, but it couldn't fatally wound it.

This completely enraged the serpent, and it hissed from its mouth.

At the same time, the body struggled violently.

The chain is fastened to the wall by a wrist-thick iron ring.

Because of the long time, the soil on the walls loosened.

In addition, the giant snake has a lot of strength, and a large area of dirt falls off.

The hoop shook a few times and fell to the ground with a thud.

The serpent hissed and came to them like a whirlwind.

Mei Lin held three wooden fibers in his hand and wound them together.

The serpent's strength was much greater than he had imagined, and the wood fibers were stretched straight.

Mei Lin poured all the spiritual power into it.

He only felt that his arms were numb, and he was about to lose the wood fibers.

But he knew that he couldn't let go at this time.

Otherwise, not only him, but even Nan Nan would have to be buried in the cave!

He shouted at Nan Nan, get out of the cave!

At the same time, the wind was whistling in his ears, and his body was stretched to sway back and forth in the air.

Seeing the serpent's mouth devouring at him.

In addition to the wood fiber in Mei Lin's hand, there was nothing else to resist.

In a hurry, he reached out and grabbed the dragon's head on the head of the giant snake, and his body hung down on the snake's head.

The serpent opened its mouth and bit down on his legs.

Mei Lin grabbed the dragon head wood with both hands, and his feet had no place to focus, so he had to step on the mouth of the giant snake.

The snake's fangs slashed against his calf, and a trail of blood emerged.

Blood soaked his pants, and he tangled with the serpent.

Although Nan Nan had a gun, she didn't dare to shoot for fear that she would accidentally injure Mei Lin.

Mei Lin's arm trembled, and he was about to lose his grip on the dragon head wood.

If he let go, he would just fall into the serpent's mouth.

He glanced at Nan Nan in despair and shouted at her, Run!

Nan Nan stubbornly stood in place and said, if you don't go, I won't leave!

Mei Lin said, "It's a dead end for you to stay, hurry out and block the hole with a stone slab."

If it is allowed to escape, more people will die! ”

Nan Nan stood there hesitating, she really didn't want to watch Mei Lin die, but there was nothing she could do.

Merlin's blood flowed down the leg of his pants into the serpent's mouth.

He finally couldn't support it anymore, and his hand went limp, and his body fell down.

Nan Nan's exclamation came from his ears, Mei Lin!

Seeing the mouth of the giant snake's bucket waiting for him below.

Mei Lin knows that this is completely over!

But to his surprise, the serpent's mouth suddenly closed.

Its body twisted, and Merin landed on it.

The serpent's body caught him like a fluffy carpet.

Not only Mei Lin, but even Nan Nan was also surprised.

The giant snake circled around Mei Lin's body and gently rubbed him with its body, like a docile kitten.
