Chapter 291: Stone Statue of the Giant
No one expected that the Yin Snake would attack people without warning, and what they didn't expect was that the speed of the Yin Snake was so fast, it could almost be described as lightning.
It took less than two seconds to shoot out from the top of the altar to attack Hao Xiaojun and then return to the top of the altar, so much so that even I didn't notice that the Yin Snake had ever left the altar, and it felt as if it had been there the whole time.
What was even more unexpected was that Hao Xiaojun did not leave the place immediately after standing up, but raised his head again, looking at the corpse Lingzhi at the top of the altar in a daze.
"What does Hao Xiaojun want to do, are you still going to go to the altar to pick that corpse lingzhi?" Seeing this, I frowned and said.
What happened just now, as long as anyone can see that the Yin Snake is not easy to mess with, and the elusive attack speed makes people unable to guard against it at all.
Originally, the light in the hall was not very sufficient, and it was barely lit by just a few flashlights, and there were countless corners where flashlights could not be found.
If the Yin Serpent had made up its mind to oppose us, with its inky black body, we wouldn't be able to find it anywhere it hid in, and we wouldn't even know how it died.
"Maybe it's a little unwilling, after all, the corpse Lingzhi is close in front of you, and anyone wants to get it." Li Huiyan said.
I nodded, it was indeed like what Li Huiyan said. After learning that the corpse lingzhi was actually the elixir that Qin Shi Huang dreamed of back then, I also had the attention of the corpse lingzhi in secret, but then Qin Gong said that the corpse lingzhi contained severe poison, and there was a yin snake that made people feel their scalp tingling, so I didn't have those thoughts.
As the elixir of life coveted by Qin Shi Huang, the corpse reishi is indeed very precious, maybe there is only such a plant left in this world, if you can get it, it will definitely be what everyone wants.
But I know in my heart that the Corpse Lingzhi is also very important to the Yin Snake, and unless we can find a way to get rid of the Yin Snake first, it is impossible to get close to the range of the Corpse Lingzhi.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to fight the idea of corpse Lingzhi again, unless he really thinks it's a long life." Qin Gong said.
As soon as Qin Gong's words fell, I saw Hao Xiaojun retract his gaze, lowered his head and sighed, and walked to the corner of the hall by himself.
To tell the truth, Hao Xiaojun really picked up a life from the hands of Lord Yama just now, if the Yin Snake didn't use its tail to whip him in the face just now, but bit him with its fangs, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground by now.
It's not that the Yin Snake is kind and unwilling to kill, it is estimated that it was afraid that the corpse Lingzhi would be taken away by others when it attacked Hao Xiaojun, so it hurriedly returned to the sacrificial Gu platform.
"Rice cake, if you go and lure that yin snake away, I'll go and secretly take off the corpse Lingzhi." Xiao Yue's eyes rolled and he said to me.
"Why am I going to lure away the Yin Snake, you have to go yourself." I rolled my eyes and said.
"How can I, a weak girl, do such a dangerous thing?" Xiao Yue said.
"You just dispel this unrealistic idea, Qin Gong just said that the corpse reishi contains highly poisonous, and the prescription used to make the corpse reishi has long been lost, what is the use of you taking it off." I said.
It is understandable that Hao Xiaojun wants to remove the corpse Ganoderma lucidum, he wants He Zitong to return to normal as soon as possible, Xiao Yue This guy wants to pick the corpse Ganoderma lucidum purely out of curiosity, of course I can't do it according to her wishes.
Xiao Yue wants to die, let her do it, I haven't lived enough. After the Yin Snake attacked Hao Xiaojun without warning, it once again remained motionless on the top of the sacrificial Gu platform, and had no intention of attacking the others again.
Everyone was naturally relieved by this, the speed at which the Yin Snake attacked people was too terrifying, and the Ghost-faced Spider and the Rat King probably couldn't prevent it, let alone the rest of us.
I secretly made up my mind that unless it was the Yin Snake who took the initiative to provoke us, I would never provoke it in the slightest, and the key was to leave the tomb with a small life.
"Qin Gong, you just said that this Yin Snake has been existing since the ancient tomb was built, so isn't it already alive for more than a thousand years, this is too incredible, what does it feed on in the ancient tomb?" I asked Qin Gong again.
"I'm just guessing, it's not necessarily the case, and it could be the descendant of the Yin Snake from the beginning." Qin Gong said.
"It turned out to be just a guess, it scared me, I really thought that the Yin Snake had lived for more than a thousand years, and that was too appalling." I said.
"It's not all speculation, what I've said before is actually well-founded. The Yin Snake is different from ordinary snakes, after being specially cultivated by Gu cultivators, its lifespan is dozens or even hundreds of times longer than that of ordinary snakes. Qin Gong said.
"That doesn't make sense, there is no food in the ancient tomb, even if the life span of the Yin Snake is tens of thousands of times that of ordinary snakes, it is useless, and in the end it will still be starved to death, unless it can go without eating for more than a thousand years." Still a little unconvinced, I said.
"It's not like there's no food in the tomb, some small insects will still get in through the cracks in the tomb, and the Yin Snake can eat these things to fill their stomachs." Qin Gong said.
Qin Gong's words reminded me that not only are there all kinds of insects that can get into this ancient tomb, but there is even this rat nest with tens of thousands of mice.
Snakes and rats are naturally opponents, and if the yin snake uses the rats in the rat group as food, it will not starve to death even if it lives for more than a thousand years.
You must know that the reproductive ability of rats is very strong, and the food of snakes is limited, and there is no situation where yin snakes eat the rats.
Squeak squeak...... As if sensing danger, the Rat King began to cry out restlessly. I glanced back at the Rat King, only to see that the golden rat fur on its body had stood upside down one by one, and its marble-sized eyes stared motionlessly at the Yin Snake at the top of the sacrificial Gu Table, looking very vigilant.
Rats and snakes are natural opponents, and it is easy to understand that the rat king will behave in this way, especially after seeing the yin snake's elusive and weird ability, the rat king will naturally feel in danger.
"In that case, it is really possible for this yin snake to live for more than a thousand years, which is too scary. But if it really lived for so long, why is its body so small, just like a newborn snake. After retracting my gaze from the Rat King, I said again.
"The size of the body is easy to understand, because no matter what kind of creature it is, after being bred into a Gu worm, the body will stop growing. No matter how big it was when it became a Gu worm, it can only be how big it will be in the future, and it is impossible for any reason to grow at all. Qin Gong said.
"I've heard a little bit about that, and it seems to be true." Li Huiyan also spoke.
Having said that, I still don't dare to let my guard down. What Hao Xiaojun experienced just now undoubtedly reminded us that it would be a big mistake to ignore the danger of the Yin Snake just by looking at its size.
Yin Snake just swept the left side of Hao Xiaojun's face with his tail, half of his face was already swollen, and he really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he was bitten.
"Sister Xiaoyan, I think it's better for us to leave here early, I feel furious when I see that black yin snake, and I always feel like I'll be bitten by it." Dong Shuang said with some fear.
"Well, although it is a little regrettable that I can't take off the corpse reishi, it's better than losing my life. There's nothing to see here, and we should have found a way out of it sooner. Hearing this, Li Huiyan nodded and said.
At this moment, a puzzling scene appeared. After the Yin Snake was entrenched at the top of the sacrificial Gu platform for a while, it began to circle around the Corpse Lingzhi non-stop, and from time to time spit out the snake letter and lick the lid of the Corpse Lingzhi twice.
The Yin Snake's strange behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some did not understand what it wanted to do.
"Sister Lizi, it's not good, that yin snake seems to want to eat the corpse Lingzhi." Xiao Yue exclaimed loudly.
Hearing Xiao Yue's voice, the Yin Snake's movement in a circle suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at the place where we were standing.
In an instant, a cold sweat broke out on my back, and the Yin Snake seemed to be attracted by the call of the Rat King, and at this time it had already taken us as prey.
"Everyone stand back, don't go near the sacrificial Gu platform." I didn't dare to take my eyes off the Yin Snake for a moment, and at the same time said to everyone.
The others apparently sensed something was wrong, and immediately after hearing my words, they all stepped back and gradually walked to the entrance of the hall.
However, when we all retreated to the entrance of the hall, I realized that the Rat King was standing motionless, not following us backwards at all.
At this time, the Rat King was obviously a little wrong, and in the face of his natural rival, he seemed to have a strong fighting spirit. I tried to tell the Ghostface Spider to pull the Rat King with its silk, but its limbs and nails sank into the ground, and the Ghostface Spider's constant efforts failed to drag it half a minute.
"Xiao Yan, what should we do now, the Rat King seems to be on the opposite side of the Yin Snake." I said with a headache.
Don't look at the size of the Yin Snake and the Rat King, it is completely incomparable to the Rat King, but if the two sides really fight, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
We have all seen the weirdness of the Yin Snake before, the speed of attacking people is so fast that it is impossible to see it with the naked eye, and the snakes are naturally restrained by rats, and the victory or defeat of the two sides cannot be inferred by common sense at all.
"Let's wait and see, if the Rat King and the Yin Snake really fight, I can let the Ghost-faced Spider go up and help, I think there should be no problem. You should also understand that no matter what, the Rat King can't have an accident here, and it's the key to whether or not we can get out of the tomb alive. Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
"Well, let's see, maybe things aren't as bad as we thought." I nodded.
I had already thought of a way to get out of the tomb, which was to let the Rat King lead the rats to dig a passage for us to the outside.
