In a hurry, I suddenly touched the snake pupil blood ring on my finger, and immediately summoned the mutated octopus monster in my heart.

I quickly received a response, and the octopus monster sensed our location and sped away......

Through telepathy, we know that there was indeed a violent earthquake in the outside world, the earth shook and the mountains shook, the ice at the bottom of the sky broke and fell, and a huge amount of stagnant water in the polar sea also went down, like a torrential rain mixed with hail, and a large amount of ice water completely lowered the water temperature in the volcanic lake, so that the octopus monster could act in the volcanic lake.

The octopus monster was fast, and after tens of seconds, we felt a tugging and shaking, and then, a crack appeared above our heads, and we finally saw the light we had not seen for a long time, and breathed fresh air - the octopus monster bit open the thick skin of the snake's belly, and we saw the light of day again.

The old knife was the first to get out of the snake's belly, and then dragged out Shen Tangzhi in my arms for the first time, and I immediately climbed the cracked snake belly skin and flesh, leaned out half of my body, and just saw the old knife holding Shen Tangzhi floating on the lake, and then lifted the mountaineering suit wrapped around Shen Tangzhi-

But the two of us immediately exclaimed in unison!

A familiar face emerged from my mountaineering suit, but it wasn't Shen Tangzhi at all!

This is the girl I saw in my dreams!

It was the face of a girl with beautiful features and snow-white skin, with a faint blush on her cheeks, and her eyes closed, as if she were sleeping in a sweet dream.

I was stunned!

Since the person in front of him is not Shen Tangzhi, where did Shen Tangzhi go?!

Did he really slip out of the black tube and into the depths of the snake's belly?

At this time, Hyde also crawled out of the snake's belly, jumped into the lake with a "poof", and saw that it was another woman wrapped in the mountaineering suit, and was also frightened: "How, how can this be?" How did Julia end up like this?! ”

"Get out of the way! She must still be in the belly of the snake! ”

I yelled, took Hydra aside, inhaled sharply in my lungs, and burrowed into the snake's belly.

The black tube I was hiding in was in the snake's esophagus, and I held my breath and went straight through the black tube and went headlong into the snake's belly.

The snake's belly was already filled with water, but when I went deeper, it was a semi-enclosed space, and on the inner wall of the snake's belly was a thick layer of bodily fluids, which was extremely smelly and very viscous, and I crawled out a few steps before I was covered in the viper's bodily fluids, and every movement had to take great effort.

After a few seconds, suddenly the fingertips of my left hand seemed to touch a foreign object, like the sole of a hiking boot, but at the same time, there was a sudden tingling sensation on the skin of my hand, as if my hand had penetrated into the burning flames and was instantly burned!

Of course, there could not have been an open flame in the snake's belly, and I think I might have crawled into the stomach of the giant snake, and my left hand should have touched the extremely corrosive digestive juices!

I endured the bone-crushing pain in my hands, grabbed the hiking boot, and pulled it back with all my might!

At the same time, I immediately telepathically summoned the octopus monster and made it immediately gnaw an exit in my location.

"Gollum!"

The octopus monster quickly tore out a hole, and the lake water suddenly poured in, and I pulled Shen Tangzhi out of the snake's belly and dived into the water.

Old Knife and Hyde saw the action of the octopus monster, and were already waiting on the sidelines, and when they saw us escaping from the snake's belly, they immediately reached out and lifted us out of the water.

As soon as he surfaced, the old knife shouted: "There is something on Shen Tangzhi's body, my hand hurts when it touches her...... She's going to be fine, right? ”

We hurriedly checked Shen Tangzhi's situation, only to see that she was wrapped in a transparent film, which was formed by the drying up of the mysterious liquid in the "black tube", and it was precisely because of the barrier of this film that the digestive juice of the giant snake did not seem to cause harm to Shen Tangzhi, I breathed a sigh of relief and tore the film on Shen Tangzhi's face.

When I stretched out my hand, both Old Dao and Hyde were stunned: "Your hand-"

Only then did I realize that most of the skin covering the palm of my left hand had been corroded by the digestive juices of the giant snake, directly exposing pink muscles and white bone joints, which looked very terrifying.

Old Knife and Hyde's hands were also stained with a little digestive juice, and they also suffered a little burns, but because the lake water diluted the digestive juice, Old Knife's injuries were very slight.

The octopus monster carried several of us out of the water again, we unloaded Shen Tangzhi's backpack, put her flat on the back of the octopus monster, and then ...... A few of our big men looked at each other - who was going to do the artificial respiration?

Even if it's cardiopulmonary resuscitation, it's not very convenient......

But at this time, I didn't care about the difference between men and women, and Hyde and I said almost at the same time: "I'll come!" ”

But at this moment, Shen Tangzhi himself moved first.

"Ahem, ahem! Hmmm—"

Shen Tangzhi coughed twice, his chest suddenly arched upward, and he suddenly took a deep breath, and then slowly woke up.

I quickly asked, "How are you?" ”

Shen Tangzhi's voice was a little weak: "I just ...... As if in a dream, I saw a girl being taken captive into a dark alley, and I chased after her, only to hear someone say, 'I'll come first!' ', and then ...... I woke up......"

"This ......" Hyde and I looked at each other, both with some embarrassment on our faces.

The old knife on the side couldn't help laughing.

"How...... What's going on? Shen Tangzhi was puzzled.

Lao Dao laughed breathlessly, holding his stomach and intermittently telling Shen Tangzhi the origin of the sentence "I'll come first".

Shen Tangzhi showed an expression of "Are you all idiots": "When you save your life, you are still entangled in this kind of thing...... Medically speaking, the distinction between male and female is nothing more than male and female distinctions of the same species, and ninety-nine percent of the structure is the same, I tell you—"

Halfway through speaking, Shen Tangzhi suddenly paused, his eyes fixed on my left hand: "Jiguang, what's the matter with your hand?" ”

"It's not for you......," said the old knife as I dragged her out of the snake's belly.

In this process, Shen Tangzhi was not idle, she opened her backpack and took out the medical kit, which had been immersed in lake water, but the use of iodine wine and gauze could still play a role in disinfection and isolation from direct contact with the outside world.

"Alright, for the time being, we can only help you deal with it first, and the rest can only wait until we return to the civilized world. Fortunately, we are in the snowy mountains and cold regions, and there are fewer germs that can survive in the environment, so it should not cause serious infections......" Shen Tangzhi helped me wrap the wound, raised his head and said to me sincerely: "Thank you for saving me." ”

Before I could say anything, Hyde was in a hurry: "Julia, actually, I wanted to save you at that time, but I was preempted by MR Ji...... My ancestors were once one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table who followed King Arthur, and loyalty and courage are the virtues that our family has inherited! ”

The old knife laughed "poof": "Wow, I thought my old knife was a leader in the braggart world, but I didn't expect you, a British bearded man, to brag better than me!" Also King Arthur XII Knights of the Round Table? Then my ancestors once followed the Yellow Emperor to fight Chiyou! ”

"Really?" Hyde actually believed the old knife's words.

"You're a big-headed ghost! It's just a bragga, do you want to be so serious? ”

"No, no, no! Our family still has a family tree to this day, which can prove the blood of knights in me, please respect the honor of our family, is that okay? ”

"So what are you going to say...... We Chinese are all descendants of Yan Huang, right? Of course, our ancestors followed the Yellow Emperor to participate in the Great War with Chiyou! ”

Hyde was stunned: "You say that...... There is some truth to this. ”

The boss laughed and put his arm around Hyde's shoulder: "Okay, I also believe that you are a Knight of the Round Table, right?" The four of us are all strange people with terrifying backgrounds - you are a knight of the round table, Lao Tzu is a general under Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and Section Chief Shen is a fairy who descends to earth, Jiguang, this kid, just be a stove god. ”

I wondered: "The three of you are so powerful, why did it be my turn to become the god of the stove?" ”

The old knife pointed at my injured left hand and said: "You can recall for yourself, every time you come out to do errands, you kid often has accidents, your face is so dark, being a stove god is not wronged you." ”

A few people realized this, even if Hyde understood, they all smiled.

I was about to refute, when suddenly the voice of the octopus water monster came from the bottom of my heart: "Master, there are treasures here." ”

The octopus monster stretched out a tentacle and placed it in front of us with an object - it was the naked corpse of the maiden.

It's also strange that the humanoids sealed in the "black tube" can survive thousands of years without knowing for sure whether they are actually dead or in a state similar to "hibernation".

The "black tubes" that look like giant coelenterates and the mysterious liquid in them form a system similar to the "dormant tank" and the "nutrient solution", especially the strange humanoids in the "black tubes", which clearly show that those "black tubes" came from an extremely ancient era, and that era may even be another cycle of life evolution in the history of the earth.

We can't imagine that in that ancient era, there was such a "life support cabin" that still only appears in science fiction - even if it is just an ancient coffin for preserving corpses, but it is already a supreme miracle to be able to reach such an extent.

I relayed the words of the octopus monster to the others, and when they looked at the female corpse again, they found that although she looked very similar to us, she was not actually "human".

The girl had no ears, there were two gill-like organs on the ears, and a flesh-colored scale on the back of her neck, Shen Tangzhi opened her mouth and found that she only had four sharp canine teeth in her mouth, which looked like a snake's fangs.

"There's something in her mouth...... It seems to be a big pearl. ”

As he spoke, Shen Tangzhi took out a jewel with a gorgeous luster from the mouth of the female corpse, I took it over, and shone it in the light, and there was a faint flash of small black shadows in the orb, as if there was a tiny black dragon alive in the orb.

"This ...... It seems to be Lizhu! ”

When people asked me what Lizhu was, I replied, "I have heard my master say that there are several peerless jewels in the world, and one of them is Lizhu. "Zhuangzi Lie Yukou" has written that "the pearl of the husband's daughter will be in the abyss of the ninefold, and the dragon will be under the jaw." It is said that the dragon can transform into a human form and walk in the world, and the appearance is a handsome boy and girl. ”

The old knife smacked his tongue: "No wonder she has gills and scales on her body, and she also has long teeth like a snake, it turns out to be a dragon girl!" ”

I nodded and said, "Gu Shiyun, the dragon girl fairy clothes Xiangshui skirt, and the pearl in the palm of her hand makes the bright moon." Looking at this is the dragon girl transformed by Lilong, there is no doubt that this Lizhu is actually her Neidan to put it bluntly. ”

At this time, Shen Tangzhi found something else: "The corpse has changed!" ”

I saw that the body of the dragon girl had indeed undergone a strange change: the corpse turned into a large cloud of blue smoke, but the blue smoke did not rise into the air, but flowed down the back of the octopus monster into the volcanic lake.

I handed the bead to my injured left hand, stretched out my right hand and touched it, and found that the blue mist was very thick, resembling smoke but actually close to jelly.

"Isn't this the kind of semi-solid blue mist we encountered in the Polar Sea? It seems that the morphological change of this blue haze has a lot to do with the temperature, and the lower the temperature, the higher the degree of solidification......"

"Really?" Shen Tangzhi was also very curious, and stretched out his hand to touch the blue mist.

"Wait!"

I suddenly noticed that the part of my finger that touched the blue mist began to turn into blue smoke!

I was horrified: "Don't touch—"

But I still said that it was too late, Shen Tangzhi's hand had already touched the blue mist!

However, her hand seemed to be fine.

"What's going on?" I immediately telepathically asked the octopus monster.

"Master, you have the mark of the Lilong clan on your body...... Swallow that Lizhu or you, too, will turn into a blue mist and disappear! ”

During this time, my right palm had completely disappeared, and then my forearm had begun to turn into a blue mist......

Without hesitation, I brought the ping-pong ball-sized beads to my mouth and swallowed them with my head up.

Strangely, I didn't feel the sensation of the huge lizhu diaphragm in my throat, I only felt that the lizhu turned into a cold liquid in my mouth, which went down the esophagus and quickly dissipated in the abdomen and into the whole body......

Immediately afterward, I felt an itch in my right hand, and when I looked up, I saw a burst of blue smoke condensing at the place where it had disappeared to my wrist, and it seemed to slowly recover from the blue smoke to the palm of my hand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I shook my right hand a few times, and I didn't feel any difference from before.

The octopus water monster said telepathically: "Master, you now have the power of Lizhu, and you can control that snake pupil blood ring to take me out of here." ”

When my palm turned into blue mist, I was already doubting that I seemed to be in the way of this octopus monster, and now the doubt in my heart was a little heavier:

"What if I say no?"
