Dragon?

But it couldn't move, it could only flip over its scales, and its long, thick body couldn't even squirm...... Because there is no water, it is trapped here, perhaps for two thousand years, like the drying up of Lop Nur Daze.

Li Longsheng once again remembered what Yingka said about the Loulan Divine Dragon, and knelt down on his knees, in front of this dragon that had dried up for two thousand years.

Shenlong is dying.

"The mountain is not high, but there is a fairy; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. The little king came out and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Why are all the Chinese people descendants of the dragon, how can we see the dragon dying of thirst? Why don't you give it some water and see if you can revive it? ”

Li Longsheng translated in time, and the Swedish explorer nodded: "Yes, we Norsemen also believe in dragons. Although the dragon is the embodiment of evil, if this dragon can be revived and shown to the scientific community, it will be the greatest discovery since the Bible. ”

In an instant, Sven Hedin's mind flashed through the Nobel Prize from his homeland.

He opened the water bladder on his body and poured it between the dragon scales without hesitation. It's like dripping into the desert under the sun, and the green smoke immediately rises. He rudely snatched the water bladder of Li Longsheng and the little county king, knowing that traveling in the desert was a priceless treasure, but he ruthlessly squandered it on this dying dragon. As long as you can save the dragon, even if you send camels to Luo Bu Naoer to buy water, you will not hesitate.

Water, the source of life, slowly seeps into the dragon's scales and muscles. The frequency of the scales shaking increased, and the entire dragon body rose and fell violently, emitting some kind of heat......

Qin Beiyang was a little puzzled, if there really was a creature like a dragon in the world, it would be a reptile like a snake. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish are cold-blooded animals that do not have a constant body temperature and must vary according to the environment. And in this dark and cold dungeon, why does the dragon have a fever?

Unless- it has the Spirit Stone of the Tomb Beast?!

The heat spread throughout the underground palace, and a red aura lit up under his feet. The Hetian warm blood jade on Qin Beiyang's chest was also hot, and the nine-colored antlers began to grow, and he stared at him with wide eyes and shouted: "All stand back!" ”

The ripples of the Lop Nur Daze water above the head are like returning to the bottom of the lake 2,000 years ago, and the sunlight shines through the yellow sand and shines directly below the ghostly water surface. Schools of fish roam, and water monsters of all shapes are infested, like underwater mammals such as Baikal seals......

"Nine colors are also leaving."

Qin Beiyang shouted again, and the town's tomb beast rushed wildly. There was a surging fishy smell from behind, an earth-shattering roar, almost tearing the eardrum again.

Escaping from the narrow tomb passage, the heat in the dungeon rolls in. Qin Beiyang grabbed Katya and the ghost god, and pulled out the Tang knife with his backhand.

The dragon is out.

I saw a pair of dragon eyes first, like two searchlights, stabbing everyone from opening their eyes. Then there were the bifurcated antlers, and then the giant dragon head, but there were only two long dragon whiskers, but more like the whiskers of a catfish.

Usually the head of the dragon resembles a deer, a cow or a horse, but this one is more like the head of a yellow eel or loach, but it still has two horns.

From the neck to the back, the dragon is covered with a red mane, and the scales are all backward - the dragon of the reverse scales.

And its four dragon feet, like the legendary "Jiao", are extremely wide and sharp. Judging by the heat from its heart, this is another tomb beast.

Loulan Shenlong Town Tomb Beast.

After two thousand years of sleep, he was finally awakened by the water in Sven Heding's skin. The dragon is crawling and meandering, and the ghost knows how long it is? The first half has left the tomb door, and the second half remains in the tomb passage.

It's watching this group of archaeologists or tomb robbers from the twentieth century.

The dragon opened its eel-like jaws and spewed out flames. The scattered archaeological team members instantly burned human flesh fat.

Sven Hedin almost fell to his knees: "I have released Satan in hell with my own hands - Leviathan!" ”

Qin Beiyang understands his German, but he doesn't know what "Leviathan" means?

"Leviathan!" Li Longsheng explained next to him, "The sea monster of Bible times, Job 41 says that the Leviathan was a huge creature, and when it awoke from the sea, the waves of the sea also flowed backwards. It breathes fire from its mouth, smoke from its nose, sharp teeth, scales as strong as armor, and it is a ruthless animal that searches for prey in the sea. ”

"Why?"

It is said that on the sixth day of Genesis, God created two monsters, one male and one female, the female being Leviathan, who was entrenched in the sea, and the male being Hibemos, who was in the Megatron Desert. When the end of the world comes, Leviathan and Hibemos will be sacrificed to the Holy One. Li Longsheng took out his sketchbook and drew the shape of this prehistoric creature by the light of the fire, "The prototype of the Leviathan, some scientists say it is a marine dinosaur, and some people say it is a whale. Leviathan is synonymous with Satan and represents 'jealousy', one of the seven deadly sins. ”

The killing of the Leviathan began, and the dark world under Lop Nur became a slaughterhouse, where both dead and alive could not escape the fate of being devoured, even including camel corpses......

Everyone expects this to be just a fantasy of light and shadow, a black-and-white silent horror movie, rather than a real killing.

Only the nine-colored snow-white antlers, like a forest of towering ancient trees, are used as an umbrella to block the attack of the dragon.

Qin Beiyang, Katya, Sweat and Blood Horse Ghost God, Xiaojun Wang, Professor Wang Jiawei, and finally Li Longsheng hid in with Sven Heding on his shoulder, so as to avoid becoming the dinner of the dragon.

Through the nine-colored antlers and glass fireballs, Li Longsheng's eyes were red and burning, and he shook his head and shouted: "This is not Leviathan!" It's not a dragon either! It's a mirage! ”

Mirage?

"Have you seen the frescoes in the dungeon? A large snake mates with a pheasant and lays an egg buried in the sand. The dragon that hatches from this egg is a mirage. Like a dragon is not a dragon, it can only be regarded as another species of dragon, just like a dragon giving birth to nine sons. The most powerful ability of the mirage is not to make waves and devour people and animals, but to create illusions. ”

Professor Wang Jiawei then chimed in: "The idiom 'mirage' is based on a mirage. The ancients believed that it was the breath exhaled from the mouth of a mirage that formed the illusion of a mirage. ”

"It's ten thousand times scarier than the Leviathan!"

Li Longsheng closed his eyes, and his eyes were full of Yingka seen in the mirage.

In fact, she is not the living girl Yingka in Luo Bu Naoer. But two thousand years ago, on the bank of Lop Nur Daze, another girl who had long since died, but her appearance was similar to that of Yingka.

The mirage remembered the appearance of the girl from Loulan in the Han Dynasty, and through the refraction of light in the air, it projected the phantom to the other side of the desert.

The light and shadow that appeared in the ghost city of Loulan just now are like the pictures of two thousand years ago on the movie screen - from the boys and girls who sacrificed to the dragon to the hero Ban Chao, all of them are phantoms spit out by this mirage. Although dormant in the depths of the dungeon, unable to move due to lack of water and thirst, it can breathe slowly, affecting the entire underground world and even the ground of Lop Nur.

As for the city they saw, the almost brand-new Loulan City, as if it had just crossed over from the Han Dynasty, it also did not exist, just a holographic phantom.

And in the eyes of Qin Beiyang, who was looking far away, it was a mysterious black smoke.

This is the essence of all magnificent illusions, from the depths of the earth two thousand years ago, the Loulan Mirage Tomb Beast.

Around the nine-colored antlers, countless phantoms appeared, layer upon layer, like dozens of movie theaters, the big world of Shanghai. The vicissitudes of Loulan and the vicissitudes of the Western Regions, the first residents to come here fished in Lop Nur Daze, worked in the fertile fields for thousands of miles, hunted in the Qilian Mountains, and trekked on the Silk Road......

Let's go!

Phantoms and black smoke gradually enveloped the survivors. This is something that the town grave beast cannot resist, and any person or object, once swallowed by the smoke of the mirage, will become a mirage-like phantom - there is no physical existence anymore, only the recording of light and shade, color, and sound, from three-dimensional to two-dimensional......

Sven Hedin drew the cross, Professor Wang Jiawei recited the Diamond Sutra, and Li Longsheng recited Einstein's theory of relativity.

Katya buried her head in Qin Beiyang's arms, fearless: "Let's die together!" ”
