Chapter 44: The Turtle in the Urn

Walking deeper into the cave, I found that it was a long and narrow passage, and the walls around it were so smooth that there was hardly a single blemish to be found. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The fawn said that it was built with some kind of burnt brick, which was fire-resistant, and it was probably a passage for the mantis to move. I can't help but sigh that the ancient craftsmanship can reach such an advanced level, and I have to admire the wisdom of the ancestors.

But what makes me wonder is that the road runs straight forward, so until the dragon breaks the hole, this road is a dead end, this design is too unbelievable, is it just to make the dragon tower appear in a closed state?

We have been walking in the corridor, and I don't know how long it has been, but it still hasn't changed, and the road seems to never end.

"Isn't it going to be another fucking loop!" Brother Hao said.

I shook my head tiredly, I didn't have the strength to speak, and people seemed to be physically exhausted faster in desperate circumstances. The fawn kept looking around, as if he had endless energy.

Suddenly, I heard the grinding of stones, very dull, as if a huge millstone was turning.

The fawn reacted faster than I did, and immediately pricked up its ears and stuck to the wall. It didn't take long for the sound to die down, and we fell into a dead silence again.

I asked him if he had found anything, but he looked at me with a strange expression, and said, "There is a mechanism here, and it seems that the tunnel can be moved." ā€

As I was talking, the ground under my feet suddenly shook, and I was so frightened that I quickly held on to the wall, and the two of them staggered to each other and struggled for a while before stopping. Immediately after, a space appeared not far ahead, and although I couldn't see the exact situation, I was sure that it should have been a corridor.

It seems that Xiaolu is right, there is indeed a mechanism here, no wonder I always feel that the chief of Yongdao is a bit excessive. We cautiously approached for fear of any danger, only to find that it was only a stone chamber.

The stone chamber is very simple, with a huge clay pot in the middle, two stories high, and the clay pot occupies almost the entire space, and there is nothing around it.

"What could it be in here?" Brother Hao asked.

"As long as it's not something disgusting." I didn't have the heart to say it.

The fawn circled around the jar a few times and knocked tentatively, but found nothing.

We tried to climb up the ladder, but we couldn't reach it, and I almost fell down while standing on it. We tried to knock the jar down, but no matter how hard we tried, it didn't move.

Brother Hao was anxious, and scolded: "His grandmother's, give you back your face!" If you want me to say, let's just smash it open! ā€

"Where do you find a tool to smash ......?"

Before I finished speaking, I saw Brother Hao step forward is a kick, but I didn't expect this jar to be very brittle, and it would fall apart in an instant, Brother Hao whistled proudly, and said, "You still have to rely on brute force at a critical time!" ā€

Immediately afterward, a large amount of milky white liquid poured out of the cracks, and the jar shattered to the ground. I looked at it and was dumbfounded, only to see that those liquid substances turned out to be thousands of small meat worms!

Flesh worms are very small, about the size of ordinary mosquitoes, but they are so numerous that if you don't look closely, you will really think that they have spilled milk on the ground.

"Is this a baby dragon? It's scary! Brother Hao shouted.

The fawn calmly took a few steps back and said, "They should have a symbiotic relationship with the mantis, otherwise it would be impossible for that dragon to live alone for tens of thousands of years." ā€

"Whatever they are, I just want to ask if these things eat people!" I shouted.

The flesh worms seemed to be frightened and scattered, only to see them burrow into the cracks in the ground quickly, and from a distance, it was as if the liquid had seeped into the ground.

I was wondering, and suddenly I felt the air under my feet, the ground collapsed, and the whole person fell in an instant.

"The dead bugs actually hollowed out the underneath!" I yelled, my body swaying unwillingly, and it didn't take long for us to sink completely into the deepest depths.

The fleshworm came out from under our feet and climbed up the wall again, leaving the three of us stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

From the time the jar cracked to the time the meat worm crawled up and disappeared, the whole process was so fast that even a monkey spirit like a fawn didn't react, let alone me, sitting on the ground like a fool, looking up at the top of my head.

It's as if we've fallen into a deep trap and can't get out at all. Brother Hao was in a hurry, constantly spinning in circles, as if we could get out so far. Xiaolu said to be calm, we are so lucky, we will always find a way.

This is indeed true, how many times I have escaped death, not bad this time, not to mention that there is a fawn, he can always make me feel at ease.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the depths of the corridor above, and the sound was getting closer and closer to us, and I could clearly feel that the temperature was rising.

Not good! It's that kiss!

As soon as I reacted, I saw the dragon lying on it, with only one head exposed, staring at us with a grin, and I could see the anger in its eyes.

"It's all you, the fuck has to kick the jar, now it's okay, the boss is here for revenge!" I scolded.

"Anyway, it's a death horizontally and vertically, how exciting this way of dying is!" Brother Hao said.

I know there's no point in arguing with him now, the most important thing right now is to get out of here, I don't want to die in this kind of ghost place where birds don't, and there is no one to collect corpses.

As he spoke, the dragon suddenly roared, and then slapped the ground angrily, trembling all around, the wall instantly cracked several openings, and the sand and gravel above his head kept falling.

We squatted in the corner with our heads in our hands, and we didn't dare to come out, so we could only pray that this big guy could lower his anger a little, and it was really unwise for him to lose both.

After a few moments, the dragon suddenly stopped, and I thought I was going to make a big move. Sure enough, it poked half of its body in, and then opened its scales, revealing those disgusting little hands.

"Holy! This is to be killed! "I subconsciously put it into the crack of the wall, although the liquid just now is not real white phosphorus, and it is not so terrible, but it is still quite uncomfortable to get it on the body, maybe it wants to coat the food with what it likes, and then enjoy it slowly!

Surprisingly, after waiting for a long time, it didn't squirt anything, and just as I was wondering, I suddenly felt like something was wrapped around my waist. I looked down, and for a moment, I was so frightened that I had a convulsion.

It was a myriad of long black cilia that twisted and twisted around my body, and when I looked back, I saw tens of thousands of black hairs sticking out from under the dragon's scales, entangled around us. I struggled in fear, but found that the black hairs were getting tighter and tighter, and my lungs were about to explode!
