Chapter 90: Shekou escapes
There is even a dark room hidden in this tomb?
Looking at what was happening in front of me, I felt a little incredulous.
The stone wall in front of Village Chief Yao looked indistinguishable from the surrounding stone walls, and there was not even a trace of it with the naked eye.
I had carefully observed both sides of the tomb along the way before, and the stone wall in front of Village Chief Yao was naturally not missing, but I didn't find anything unusual from beginning to end.
Seeing that a secret room suddenly appeared in front of Village Chief Yao, several of us hurriedly trotted over, and at this time, Village Chief Yao had already walked into the dark room first.
I used a flashlight to illuminate Village Chief Yao, this dark room is not large, at most a dozen square meters, but it is full of countless small bags.
With the head of Village Yao who is less than 1.6 meters tall, he has to keep his head down when he walks inside, which shows how simple and hasty this tomb was built back then.
I thought that this dark room should have been inadvertently dug up by the tomb builders who built the tomb, and the owner of the tomb was worried that these poisonous snakes would kill each other with the tomb keepers, so he ordered the construction of this secret room, and put some bags containing realgar powder in it, leaving them for future generations of tomb keepers for backup.
In a short time, Village Chief Yao had already walked out of the dark room, and he was still holding a few small bags sewn from the fur of unknown beasts, needless to say that these animal skin bags must be filled with realgar powder.
"These are the ones I picked out, there is some dampness in the tomb, and a lot of realgar powder is too wet to use, even if I have these in my hands, I don't know if they are still useful." Village Chief Yao walked up to us and said.
"It must work, it must work." I hurriedly took the animal skin bags in the hands of Village Chief Yao and said.
That said, in fact, I still don't know much in my heart.
These realgar powders were put into the darkroom more than 2,000 years ago, and after more than 2,000 years, even copper and iron can completely decay away, let alone these realgar powders.
But at the moment, we don't have any better conditions, so we can only take these realgar powder and use it, and we really can't think of other ways.
Taking the animal skin bag containing the yellow powder, I took one of them in my hand and looked at it, and found that the animal skin bag did not show the slightest sign of damage and decay, except that it looked a little old.
"Don't look at it, these are made of weasel skins that have lived for at least fifteen years, which can not only be waterproof, moisture-proof but also corrosion-proof, even if they are placed here for another two thousand years. Most of the damp realgar powder inside is not sealed, and it has nothing to do with this bag. ”
Seeing me staring at the animal skin bag with a curious look, Village Chief Yao said expressionlessly.
"Taught." I nodded and said seriously.
Village Chief Yao walked into the dark room again, and after a while, he took out a few packets of realgar powder again, and after a few round-trips, each of us had a full hand in our hands.
"Village Chief Yao, I have to trouble you to continue to help here, let's use these realgar powder to deal with the poisonous snakes in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave first." Yang Baichuan said.
"Don't dare, don't dare, don't da Village Chief Yao hurriedly shook his head, and didn't dare to say three in a row, and he didn't dare to put up a fight in front of Yang Baichuan, which made me even more convinced that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Leaving Village Chief Yao to continue looking for usable realgar powder in the dark room, the four of us returned to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave once again.
Everyone put the realgar powder they were holding on the ground, and it instantly formed a half-meter-high mountain.
When I passed by Yang Yuqing's side, I saw that she was still unconscious, but the complexion on her face was much better than before, and I believe that it would not be long before she woke up.
"Brother Baichuan, there's nothing wrong with your body, right?" I asked Yang Baichuan.
"No problem, as long as it's not a slapstick job, it'll be fine for the time being, I'll go with you to sprinkle realgar powder." Yang Baichuan said.
For Yang Baichuan's words, I didn't refuse, and nodded as a tacit acquiescence.
At first, I didn't want to bother him anymore, after all, it should be our own business to save Qin Dong, not to mention that the Yang family brothers and sisters had already helped a lot before.
However, after taking a look at the inside of the cave, I changed my mind in an instant.
Seeing the countless colorful poisonous snakes drilling around Yang Baichuan's body, and some even got directly into Yang Baichuan's clothes and trouser legs, I couldn't help but be a little worried.
In case these poisonous snakes suddenly changed their temper and attacked Qin Dong who was lying on the ground, I was afraid that in less than two minutes, Qin Dong would be gnawed to the bones.
"As for Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue, you two ......" Yang Baichuan offered to help, and I turned my eyes to Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue the next moment, and said.
Before I finished speaking, I was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Huiyan.
"Needless to say, this time the two of us are going with you, and it is absolutely impossible for us to stay here. Qin Dong is our friend, even if he can't help much, he has to do his part. Li Huiyan was so smart, she immediately guessed what I wanted to say, and said in a resolute tone.
"Yes, yes, Sister Li Zi is right, this time I will also go. Although I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child, this time I am not afraid of anything in order to save Qin Dong. Xiao Yue also said on the side, it was rare to see that he was very serious.
"Alright then, stay safe yourselves, and try not to get too close to those poisonous snakes." Both of them have said this, and it is impossible for me to refuse, so I admonished.
Since Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue are willing to help, it is naturally the best, there is a lot of strength in numbers, especially at this time, the sooner you finish sprinkling realgar powder, the sooner you can rescue Qin Dong.
After discussing everything, the four of us each took two packets of realgar powder and walked to the cave.
In the end, I was still a little uneasy, so I decided to divide the four of them into two teams, so that if there was any danger, I could take care of each other.
Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue's group is obviously not good, the two girls don't have much self-protection ability, not to mention that men and women are not tired of working together, so I can't let this happen.
In the end, Li Huiyan and I were assigned to a group, while Yang Baichuan and Xiao Yue were assigned to a group.
Xiao Yue's face was full of unhappiness, she pouted and looked at me with burning eyes, and kept muttering the four words "I'm not happy" on her forehead.
Yang Baichuan on the side smiled from ear to ear and secretly gave me a thumbs up.
"Why don't I change Xiao Yue and I?" Seeing this, Li Huiyan said.
"No way!" Yang Baichuan and I said in unison.
"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Yue glared at Yang Baichuan fiercely and said.
Tossed for two minutes, and in the end everything remained the same, Xiao Yue was very unhappy to follow behind Yang Baichuan, while Li Huiyan and I walked side by side.
Although I had already made sufficient mental preparations, I couldn't help but feel a little creepy after looking at the dense poisonous snakes in the cave at this time.
There was a hissing sound of countless poisonous snakes spitting snake letters in my ears, which made people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Everyone be careful, evacuate immediately when in danger, and don't be reckless. Although it is important to save people, the premise is to ensure the safety of one's own life. Stopping a little way from the snakes, I said to the other three.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiao Yue and will definitely not let her get hurt." Yang Baichuan said with an oath.
"Self-righteousness, who wants you to protect you, you yourself are still a sick wounded, thank God if you don't hold me back." Xiao Yue snorted coldly and said with an unhappy expression.
Yang Baichuan smiled and did not speak again.
As we got closer, the snakes not far away had noticed us. In the face of the sudden intrusion of uninvited guests, each poisonous snake showed a vigilant posture and was ready to attack, and some of the poisonous snakes even stood upright with their upper body open, opening their mouths wide to show their sharp fangs as a threat.
"Ready to get started." I said to the three of them.
The next moment, countless yellow powders fell from the sky and slowly fell towards the snakes not far away.
In case of a poisonous snake attack, we have sprinkled a lot of realgar powder on both sides and behind us in advance.
Except for the giant python, these poisonous snakes in the cave had obviously never seen realgar powder, and none of them were afraid of the realgar powder we sprinkled at this time.
On the contrary, the largest python in the snake group quickly slipped away when it saw this scene, and its huge body jumped upward, and it jumped directly onto the cave entrance that collapsed at the top of the cave, and disappeared after a few twists.
I was relieved that there was no python in the cave.
Eat a trench and grow wise, this giant python is clever, no wonder it can live so long.
Although the tens of thousands of poisonous snakes in this cave do not seem to be easy to deal with, in my opinion, it is still the giant python that poses the greatest threat to us, the huge and hard body of the giant python, and the terrifying power generated when it flicks its tail at will is simply not something that human beings can compete with.
At the same time as the python disappeared, the male yellow powder we sprinkled finally landed on the first row of poisonous snakes.
For a moment, the poisonous snakes that had been grinning and hostile to us rolled all over the ground, and without exception showed an extremely painful appearance.
Boom, those stained with realgar powder quickly left in front of us, some burrowed into the distant stone crevices, and some fell directly into the snake metamorphosis that burrowed into the ground.
Of course, there are also some bold and vicious poisonous snakes, which not quickly fled after being stained with realgar powder, but launched an attack on us, opening their mouths and showing their fangs as if we were biting.
Naturally, we were prepared for this, and when we saw those poisonous snakes attacking, everyone invariably retreated, and did not forget to sprinkle one or two handfuls of realgar powder while retreating.
As more and more realgar powder was contaminated on their bodies, even these vicious poisonous snakes couldn't stand it anymore, and began to flee in all directions like the previous poisonous snakes.
According to this line of thinking, we were unimpeded along the way, and when the realgar powder carried on the first trip was used up, nearly one-tenth of the poisonous snakes in the cave had been driven away.
About ten minutes later, when we returned to the cave for the seventh time, there were less than a thousand of the tens of thousands of poisonous snakes in the cave, and in the end, these poisonous snakes were all around Qin Dong's body.
As before, after the four of us sprinkled the realgar powder, the poisonous snakes fled one after another, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Qin Dong!" Without the threat of poisonous snakes, we hurriedly ran to Qin Dong's side and shouted at him.
"Let's take him out first, it would be bad if those poisonous snakes came back." Li Huiyan said.
Hearing this, Yang Baichuan and I worked together to carry Qin Dong out, while Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue sprinkled the remaining realgar powder around to prevent those poisonous snakes from chasing after us while we were leaving. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
