Chapter 55: The Cockscomb (3)
I grabbed its neck and pulled it hard, pulled it off the hull, pulled the rope, and the second uncle received a signal and pulled me up with the bones. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as I got to the boat, everyone came over to take a look, and I had a chance to see a little more clearly. Its bones are relatively thick, and the bones in the corpse mountain are a little smaller than this generally, and the body of people more than 2,000 years ago will be a little smaller. Moreover, judging from the degree of corrosion of this corpse, it should have been left not long ago. Therefore, my preliminary judgment is that this should be the bones of a modern human.
This thing doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us, and the second uncle said: "This corpse should have floated from the front, and I think it's the same as us, and it's also here to fight." Be careful, there may be danger ahead. ”
We cheered up, and the skeleton boat squeaked up and down, and then we saw some suspended matter floating in front of us, all sorts of things, all kinds of animal bones, coming at us, and we couldn't avoid it, and clung to the bow of the ship.
The second uncle said: "I don't know what it is in front, in addition to the bones of people, there are also bones of various animals, I think the momentum is a little wrong, why don't we go back?" ”
Tong Xiangyu's eyes suddenly became solemn, and he said to us: "There is a culture in ancient times, called Nine Dragons Playing Pearls, when we came, there were 12 caves, could there be nine dragons among them, guarding each hole, and the remaining 3 did not." ”
The second uncle said, "Even if it's like what you said, there is a dragon hidden in it, but what's the matter with this bead?" ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "This bead is the circular area where we are, you think about it, is this a pattern of nine dragons playing with pearls." ”
When she said this, I thought it was very vivid, but I didn't understand it, the dragon is a non-existent animal, how can there be a dragon here?
Tong Xiangyu said: "In ancient times, dragons were actually snakes, do you remember? At the intersection where we came, we came across a big snake. ”
Zhang Lao nodded again and again: "When I first came in, I was a little skeptical about this, but now that you say this, my judgment has deepened." ”
My second uncle and I both picked up the oars and rowed desperately on the way back, and now we were going against the current, and we were very struggling along the way. The current was very strange, one moment in, the other time out, we were like rippling on the sea, almost about to capsize.
Faintly, I seemed to smell a fishy smell, which was unpleasant, and I looked at the rest of the people, who, like me, had wrinkled noses and looked at each other. The smell came from the water, and I suspected there must be something in the water, swinging the oars desperately to get out of this hellish place, as soon as possible.
After paddling a few meters forward, there was a sudden bang, and I thought it was an earthquake, but when I looked back, it turned out that there was a black thing, I don't know when, and suddenly hit us from behind. The black thing, half on the water, half under the water, I thought it was a golden-skinned ironfish or something, but it floated on the surface of the water, and it didn't move.
It was about the size of our ship, and my second uncle and I stopped rowing.
The smell came from this thing, and we went to the stern of the boat and picked it with the oars, and it turned out to be the bones of a horse. My second uncle and I looked at each other and were surprised, how could there be a horse's bones in such a place? And this bone is blackened all over, very abnormal, as if it was corroded by something like this, I checked it, and immediately understood, this is corroded by stomach acid like this, I was in the belly of the thousand-year-old snake cypress, so I have a deep understanding at this moment.
I said, "Is there a python in the back?" Hurry up and paddle ahead. At this point, all four of us picked up the oars and paddled non-stop.
I muttered to myself, if there is a python, how can this python be in the water? Could it be the legendary anaconda? We don't care about what's behind us anymore, we just want to get out of this hole as quickly as possible.
The splash suddenly got bigger, there seemed to be something coming behind me, I looked back, there was something coming towards us, Tong Xiangyu's face was also full of nervousness, I only saw a big mouth, swallowing the water, and spitting out the water, I now understand, why this water is in and out, it turns out that this guy is playing in the water, too naughty.
There was a lot of dregs coming out of the huge mouth, some uneaten food. Its two lead-shot eyes stared at us with a ghostly expression, and then I saw a corpse float out of its mouth.
The corpse was also blackened, and it swallowed the water again, and the corpse went in with it, and so on several times.
The body behind it was still very long, and it kept swinging its tail, and sure enough, it was a huge anaconda. Its skin is green, phosphorescent, and frog-like skin that looks very elastic. I glanced at the second uncle, his eyes were round, and he only said, "What are you in a daze, run, still waiting for lunch?" ”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved the oars desperately, and I followed him, with all the strength of the milk, and paddled forward continuously. The whole hull of the ship was constantly tossed and turned by us, shaking violently, and all kinds of creaking sounds came from the whole body, as if it also felt scared.
I have already learned how powerful this python is, and it can walk in its stomach, but it is conceivable that if it is swallowed by this python alive, it will be like eating a mosquito, a piece of cake.
The python's huge body writhed, the waves were undulating, it swam forward, the water would also move forward, we were down the river, and we simply entered the hole not very deep, and soon came outside, at this time, we were already out of breath.
We saw a bright light above us on the water. The python poked its head out of the hole, and we saw it very clearly. The python gasped for breath and had two fist-sized nostrils, and as soon as it exhaled, a stream of water came out, and then it submerged half of its head in the water, leaving only two nostrils and a pair of eyes on it, as if to spy on us.
The second uncle said: "This anaconda is nothing more than that, and it doesn't dare to come out of that hole." Then he scolded, "You coward, you say that you are a Nine Dragons Drama Pearl, and you are also elevated, you are a snake, where is the dragon?" ”
Tong Xiangyu ignored him and asked Zhang Lao: "Why is this python like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding at the mouth of that cave and not daring to come out?" ”
