When Zhao Xinghua saw the huge head, he immediately guessed that this thing was either a snake or a lizard, but no matter what the situation was, he had to run away quickly. In this environment, there is nowhere to hide when encountering giant creatures with scaly armor, so you can only flee as far as you can.

The torches kept going out in the process of running quickly, and after the last torch was extinguished, the cave was completely plunged into darkness, the sound of collision and the wails of everyone kept coming, and only two glowing green dots could be seen in the darkness constantly approaching the direction of everyone. Without light, it is impossible to distinguish the road in the winding cave, and there are many stalactites and bamboo shoots scattered everywhere, so everyone can only grope out. Zhao Xinghua crouched on a stone fault at a high place, and did not hurriedly evacuate with the crowd, but avoided the two fluorescent green dots swimming in the position, which should be the eyes of the giant beast.

The screams in front of him kept coming, due to the winding of the cave, many people in the dark cave found the wrong direction, panicked and crashed into the cave wall or stone pillar, shouting for help and being rolled into the mouth with a core by the "green dragon" chasing behind him.

Zhao Xinghua, who was hiding in the stone crevice, listened attentively to the friction sound coming from under the stone crevice, and deduced that this was a giant snake or a giant python, because this creature relied on its body to keep wriggling forward. The sound of "Hm~Boom~Boom~" lasted for about a minute, from which Zhao Xinghua deduced that the body length of the snake python creature below was about 20-30 meters, which was already very terrifying, the world's largest python before the end of the world was the Amazon Python, and its body length was only about 10-12 meters, even if it was a prehistoric Titan python, it was only more than 15 meters. Being able to evolve to a length of twenty or thirty meters can only mean that this thing, the original size is very large or the evolution level is too high, any point inferred by oneself indicates that this thing is extremely difficult to deal with, it is better not to provoke, according to the speed of its travel, if it is not in this situation where everyone cannot find the exit without light, it is difficult for it to catch up with the human running at full speed.

Zhao Xinghua was thinking about the big snake leaving for a while, and when he went out of the cave, two torches lit up in the direction they came, which were like lighthouses in an instant, allowing the panicked people to find a way to survive. Luo Guoquan and Fan Yao, who left early, returned with torches in their hands to guide everyone, and with the guidance of the firelight, the panicked survivors in the cave immediately improved their escape efficiency, and no one collided with the cave wall.

After a little more waiting, the cave fell back into silence and darkness. Zhao Xinghua took out the magnesium rod from his pocket, tore off another sleeve, spread it out and put two pieces of paper on it, groped for scraping off some powder with a knife, and then quickly scratched the magnesium strip to produce sparks that ignited magnesium chips, sparks of up to 3000 degrees Celsius, and instantly ignited the pieces of paper. Zhao Xinghua cautiously jumped down from it with his burning sleeves, and there happened to be a torch that fell to the ground at his feet. Wrap the flaming sleeve around the torch to restore its burning.

When Zhao Xinghua stood in the wide part of this cave with this torch, soon many Yao people who had just been hiding in the corner climbed out and gathered here, Zhao Xinghua let a Yao person shout for a while, and when he saw that no one came over, he asked, did any of these Yao people know where Xingxiang Pai Yao is now, and someone stood up and said that he was one of the people who went down the mountain to report and knew the road.

Zhao Xinghua asked him to lead the way, continued to walk forward, first went to Yaozhai to wait for the people who fled behind, and no one objected at the moment, and continued to walk towards the front exit, along the way many lost torches were rekindled, when they walked out of the hole, Zhao Xinghua gathered more than 50 people around him.

Zhao Xinghua asked an elderly Yao man about the origin of this green dragon. That humanity, no one here has ever seen a green dragon before, but in this Nanling Mountain Range, in the stories handed down by these Yao people in ancient times, the mountain people here are the direct descendants of Fuxi Nuwa, Fuxi Nuwa has a snake face and a snake body, and the Yao people have inherited a part of human nature. Many mountain people have passed on by word of mouth, there is a kind of green snake with a huge body size, a white tail is regarded by them as a small green dragon, the mountain people think that the "little green dragon" and they are the brothers born of a mother, and worship it as a totem, can not fight, can only avoid. There are many legends about the Qinglong in the Yao people, not only is it named Qinglong Cave here, there is also a Qinglong Mountain Range at the junction of Gui Province and Guangdong Province not far from here, and there is a Qinglong Canyon in Jiuzhaigou in Hunan Province, which is named after the legend of the Qinglong by the local Yao people. Zhao Xinghua smiled and didn't say anything about Xiao Qinglong, didn't take it to heart, and let people lead the way and continue to walk forward.

The other Yao people did not have Zhao Xinghua's open-mindedness, in their opinion, the Qinglong Cave really appeared in the Qinglong Cave, which is a bad omen, there must be a catastrophe in this Mangshan to make the Qinglong really appear in the world, and they kept talking to each other along the way, as they talked more and more outrageous, there was a sad atmosphere, except for Zhao Xinghua, everyone's mood gradually lowered, as if these people had lost hope, as if they were going to die.

This is the nearest road, and I kept using a machete to open the way, climbing with my hands and feet, and finally reached a beautiful place after an hour. At the end of this valley, there is a waterfall nearly two meters wide down the mountain, and a clear waterhole is impacted below, and dozens of thatched huts or bamboo pavilions of all sizes are lined up around the waterhole. There is no elephant and there is no peace, and the lonely smoke is the scene of people", where can you see any danger.

When the first Yao people living here found these 'volunteers' coming out of the bush path, they immediately let out a cheer with joy, and as more figures were revealed from the path, the people here had enough of their fears, and they took the initiative to run forward to meet these saviors from afar. An old Yao elder came forward to introduce that he was the head of the household here, and that the village chief and some men were making traps in the woods opposite, and that they should come back soon.

Sure enough, not long after, the Yao people who had gathered in a circle dispersed a road, and a burly man walked in from outside the crowd with a group of men who were also shirtless. The leader saw that Zhao Xinghua among the few people in front of him was not like Yao, so he said in an official voice:

"I'm Zhao Xingtian, the village chief of Xingxiang Pai, which village are you coming to send reinforcements?"

Zhao Xinghua heard that this Yaoren village chief was actually called Zhao Xingtian, did he have a relationship with himself? Aren't the Yao people all surnames such as Pan, Lei, and Lan? Why did a surname Zhao pop up again.

"The Yao people in the world are a family, and they are all descendants of King Pan......"

On Zhao Xinghua's side, a man who was also the leader of a support team took the initiative to introduce the ins and outs, and told them what they encountered on the road today.

Zhao Xinghua didn't know that according to the legends of the Yao people, the ancient king of the Emperor gave six men and six women the twelve surnames of the Yao people, and ordered the six men and six women to marry the children of the foreign surname, so as to have the origin of the twelve surnames. The twelve surnames are Pan, Shen, Bao, Huang, Li, Deng, Zhou, Zhao, Hu, Tang, Lei, and Feng. And Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, which is very close to here, especially the surname Zhao, is a big family, which is distributed in the nearby mountains. The reason why it is called Zhao Xingtian is a coincidence, and the clan characters of the surname Zhao here are: Gui, De, Respect, Zhi, Cai, Liang, Tian, Xing eight words cycle, which happened to catch up with the word "Xing".

After the man recounted that the Qinglong Cave had met Qinglong Zhen, the Yao people around him were silent, and the expressions on their faces were very solemn.

The village head, Zhao Xingtian, saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, and many people were afraid, so he opened his mouth to explain to everyone:

"We also encountered this little green dragon a few days ago, but when we saw it, it was only a few meters long, and it was not so powerful. I just don't know how it grows so fast. ”

"Could it be that there is more than one on the mountain?"

"Maybe there's another one, and it's catching those monkeys in the trees when we meet them, and it doesn't have time to pay attention to us."

"Wouldn't the people in our Qinglong Cave be even more dangerous?"

Zhao Xinghua also thought that if there were really two or more of these giant snakes, then this Mangshan Mountain would be a dangerous place, just like the movie "Giant Python Disaster", it was better to leave early, the more primitive this mountain, the more terrifying creatures. He didn't worry too much about the current few people, because he was about to run out of the cave by then. Out of the Qinglong Cave, I believe that it is no problem to escape with the ability of a few people. ”?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xinghua took the initiative to ask:

"Village Chief Zhao, why can't you see that there are preparations for defense here, what kind of animal came to attack this camp?"

"Well, the first two months were quiet here, until the recent colder weather started to increase the number of animal attacks. Let's go talk over there. ”

Walking into the largest bamboo building, looking at the room layout, which tourist attraction should be the visitor center here, there are also some maps and service posters posted on the wall, several representative Yao people followed the village chief Zhao into the hall, the others stayed outside the door, and Zhao Xinghua also followed in.

"We used to live in Huangye Village, which is even more inside, but after the catastrophe, there were some madmen in each village who were possessed by demons, eating the flesh and bones of their relatives raw, and the villagers beat them to death with sticks when they had no choice, and then some people who had been caught and bitten also began to go crazy, we knew that it was a plague. After beating them to death, they set fire to the village and cut off any more people. We also moved out of our old places and found some suitable places to live in the mountains and start a new life. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again and continued:

"It wasn't until some wolves and foxes began to steal our free-range livestock, and then many women and children who went out alone were taken away, that everyone began to panic, and the original scattered dwellings were concentrated into a few bayin to live together. (The "Ba Yin" organization is a blood organization of the Yao people, which means "blood kinship.") Members help each other in production and life. In particular, when the members of the organization fight with others, the members of the "Ba Yin" family will definitely help and will not stand idly by. ）”

"Gradually, small settlements could not resist the attacks of wild beasts, and more and more of us gathered together to live together, so we concentrated hundreds of households to form the current situation. When we came to this place, life entered a quiet period for a short time. There are fish, wild fruits, fungus, mushrooms, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, edible plant roots and fruits, etc., even if there is no food, we will not starve to death here. ”

"Not long ago, some wild wolves began to attack the camp at night, killing and biting many people, and then some monkeys came in groups to steal food and other goods. We were so disturbed that we prepared to lead our people down the hill from here, but with our present number of combatants we could not protect the many old and weak women and children, even if it was only two days' journey, and I feared that the monkeys would block us from moving at the beginning. Hey~"

Before the evening, the Yao and Zhao Xinghua team members who were chased by Qinglong also came to this gathering place one after another, and everyone was embarrassed and escaped death once. Lei Tianhuo, the temporary leader of this group of people, summoned the leaders of the various teams who came this time to discuss tomorrow's defense arrangements at the village chief's house, the formal battle has not yet begun, there are forty or fifty dead and wounded in the cave alone, this trip is not as easy as it seems.

After the meeting, Zhao Xinghua and his team members found a campfire alone, sat down and talked about how they escaped while eating, and shared their experience and summary. This is Lei Tianhuo walked over alone, took a piece of Yao blue linen clothes with lace and handed it to Zhao Xinghua and said: "Thank you very much today, two groups of people were able to escape from the cave, and you lit the torches in time." Let's change into our clothes, it's uncomfortable to miss a sleeve this winter. ”

Zhao Xinghua also thanked him, and after taking the clothes, he invited Lei Tianhuo to sit down and tell everyone about Qinglong's views, if there is really more than one thing, then this operation will really be a headache, not to mention protecting the villagers, these people must first consider the problem of escaping.

"The legend of the little green dragon has always been circulated here, but nearly twenty or thirty years ago, someone found a giant poisonous snake in the mountain - Mangshan soldering iron head, which is also the largest poisonous snake in the world at present, but their number is extremely rare, and some people came to buy it two years ago, and one can be sold for millions of yuan."

Lei Tianhuo explained the legend about the green dragon and continued:

"I met it today when I was halfway through the cave, and we were all stunned when we saw such a big head in front of us, and the thing stretched out the snake letter and swept away one of my clansmen and swallowed it into its mouth, and I slashed it in the forehead with all my might, and you saw what the knife looked like later. It was the same knife that knocked it out for a while, otherwise we wouldn't have had time to run for our lives. ”

"If it's a poisonous snake, then there will be more than one."

Zhao Xinghua was a little worried.

"No, if it weren't for the green dragon being a snake, we would have been safer, hehe, I'm not afraid of the real green dragon, but because I think about the habits of snakes. It's winter now, and the snakes here in Mangshan have to go into hibernation at this time of the year. Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and even if they don't hibernate, their speed and endurance are very much reduced in this cold weather, and if it were other seasons, it would be even more difficult to deal with than it is now. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xinghua was relieved, he didn't know much about the habits and knowledge of animals, and the same was true for the other members of the team. Which animals will you fight tomorrow?
