It's Lao Hai!

I subconsciously turned around and saw him standing at the bottom of the ditch more than ten meters away from me, wet and with some broken porcelain fragments hanging on his body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"But suffocate me!" Old Kaido.

For a while, the excitement overwhelmed my mind, and I was about to step forward, but I accidentally tripped over something, and the whole person fell down.

Lao Hai limped over, pulled me up, and said with a smile: "What did you think just now, buddy, I didn't die so easily, I have to hang behind you!" ”

I wanted to rush up and hug him, but when he said this, I instantly dispelled the idea, I was still so worried about him, I didn't expect this pig's head to curse me to die first, I didn't look at him angrily, turned around and ignored him.

At this time, Xiaolu also jumped down and asked Lao Haidao: "What happened just now, we all thought you were washed away by the flood." ”

Lao Hai twisted the water on his clothes, looked at us playfully and said: "It's strange to say, at that time I was lying motionless on my stomach, and at first I was carried forward by the water for more than ten meters, but then I found that the water flow at the bottom is not fast, maybe it is blocked by those broken porcelain pieces, anyway, as long as I stick to the ground, I will not be washed away by the water." ”

Lao Hai paused for a moment, and then said: "But then again, holding my breath underwater for so long is already my limit, if this water lasts for a few more seconds, I'm afraid I will hang up, buddy!" ”

"Anyway, it's fine." Xiaolu patted Lao Hai on the shoulder and said.

After a little tidying up, we prepared to enter the inside of the stone python. The rocks at the entrance of the cave had been shattered by the old sea, and we cautiously walked inside, for fear that something strange would suddenly burst out.

It is a long, narrow and curved passage, spiraling upwards, and the entire space is circular in cross-section, about two meters in diameter, as if it were in the body of a snake. Because the ground has a certain curvature and is still very wet, it is very slippery to walk, so we can only bend down and hold on to the stone wall and move forward slowly.

"This snake is so long, shouldn't we just keep crawling, it will tire people to death!" Lao Hai complained.

"If you don't want to climb, you just stay here, and no one forces you." I glared back at him and sneered, "Why don't you form a ball and we push you up?" ”

Lao Hai waved his hand at me and grinned: "If I turn into a ball, I'm afraid you won't be able to push ten of them!" ”

In this way, I walked up three times along the hovering snake buttocks, and the road suddenly became spacious, and a huge stone room appeared in front of me, the stone room was not high, but the area was very large, the size of half a football field, and the whole stone room was circular, which should have been just built inside the stone python, and the outline of the snake body could be seen from the surrounding stone walls.

In the middle of the chamber is a wooden tower-like building, the surface of which has been soaked in water and has become decayed, and the tower has three floors, each with closed doors and windows, so that it is impossible to see what is inside. Around this tower, there are about a hundred or so humanoid statues, large and small, all bowing down to the tower, as if to worship the gods.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that there is a hole in the inside of this blue-scaled stone python!" ”

Xiaolu looked around and wondered: "The water should have been stored here before, but the height of this stone chamber is less than one-third of the entire stone sculpture, and there must be room for it." ”

I looked up, indeed, judging from the outline of the snake's body highlighted on the wall, this stone chamber was at most twenty meters at most, plus the tail passage I had walked before, it was only less than thirty meters, and there must be room for the remaining high distance.

Even though I thought so, my attention was still focused on the stone chamber in front of me. These stone statues are a bit like the ones I met with the fawn in the canyon before, when we almost turned to stone, the first time I saw the stone statues, I really thought they were also made of those insects, but then I thought that those insects were afraid of water, and this stone chamber was filled with water before, so there should be no such possibility.

The stone statues had very solemn expressions, lying on the ground reverently, as if this tower was very important to them.

I walked around the humanoid stone statues, and found that their arrangement still has a certain regularity, the stone figures have a total of eight columns, with the tower as the center, radiating and spreading in eight directions, the first of each column is very large, one larger than a normal person, the further back the stone figure is, the smaller it is, and the action is different in the back, at first it is kneeling, and then it becomes a gesture, and finally a few actually stand up, with a smug expression on their faces, staring at the tower with a proud expression.

"Do you think these stone figures are performing some kind of ritual, such as a respected elder or high priest living in the building?" I guess.

In fact, it is not accurate to say this, because the stone figures who are standing do not seem to be involved, but have a kind of arrogant attitude.

Xiaolu shook his head, held his chin and thought about it, "I don't know, but I should be sure that the significance of the existence of this tower is absolutely extraordinary, at least for these people, the tower has its own unique value." ”

Lao Hai urged impatiently on the side: "Whatever, let's take a look in this building first, maybe there will be some discoveries." You like to stand still and ponder, don't everything come from practice, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth! ”

"Yes, yes, you're right!" As I spoke, I pushed Lao Hai forward to the front of the tower.

The doors and windows of the tower are also made of wood, painted red, and there is a gap at the bottom of the door, which is supposed to be used for drainage, otherwise the huge water pressure will wash away the whole building. We stepped forward and carefully pushed the door open, and there was a "creak" sound, and a heavy grinding sound resounded throughout the stone room, and there was an echo of emptiness.

It was darkness in our eyes, and we slowly entered it with a flashlight, the air in this place was even colder and damp than outside, and there were a few drops of water falling from time to time overhead, which scared us for a while, for fear that something strange would suddenly jump off our heads, after all, this is a very strange tower, I don't believe there would be nothing inside, otherwise there would be no need to put so many stone figures outside.

Looking forward by the light of the flashlight, it was a long and narrow corridor, with wooden walls on both sides, and if you knocked it by hand, you would find that it was hollow inside, but along the corridor we didn't find a door, not even a fork in the road.

After a long walk down the corridor, and after a few turns, we returned to the entrance of the tower! I don't know if it's a psychological effect, at this moment, the expressions of those stone men outside have also become weird, staring at us with a smile!
