Chapter 396: The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Snakes
We looked at each other for a long time, and we didn't understand what the ancestor of ten thousand snakes was, but since there were no snakes, of course, it was a good thing, so as not to look at a lot of wriggling poisons, which was quite creepy.
Now the top priority is how to pass through the moat in front of them, and the people of the Wu clan do not know the specific method, the palace lord has checked everywhere, and no hidden mechanism has been found, but the problem is that no one can reach the opposite side without bridges and ropes.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, even if the snake god they believe in really appears here, I really plan to see what method the god of God uses to get through.
"The cave is so big, maybe there are other passages, let's look for it separately." Ye Jiuqing thought about it and said.
We scattered to investigate, the cave was dark and damp, we separated and circled along the edge of the cliff, and after a long time we could not find a way to get there, and when I was about to go back to join the others, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something white fluttering at the edge of the fire.
I stepped forward with a torch, and saw a huge stone pillar made of rocks, and the fluttering white thing was under the stone pillar, I squatted on the ground and picked it up, it was as thin as a cicada's wings, and it was crumpled and put on the tip of my nose with a faint fishy smell, and I looked at it for a long time, and I didn't know what it was.
But this thing was obviously out of place in the cave, I walked slowly forward, and found that the closer I got to the stone pillars, the more such things were, and slowly looked up, and the torch in my hand illuminated the stone pillars in front of me, because the sunlight penetrating into the cave could not reach here, so I could only vaguely see that the stone pillars were stacked on top of each other.
In the gaps stacked on top of each other, there were large patches of such white things, and I was curious, so I carefully climbed up the stone pillars, dragged hard through the gaps, and tore off a large piece of translucent things like a film.
Ye Jiuqing and their voices shouted at me in the distance, it is estimated that they haven't seen me go back to join me for a long time, I stood on the stone pillar and waved a torch, shouting to them to come over, this thing doesn't seem to appear in the cave, I wonder in my heart This white film is too strange, and I don't know how to pass through the moat here.
Ye Jiuqing, the others, and the Wu clan all walked under the stone pillar, and I threw down the things that were torn from the gap.
"You all take a look and see if anyone knows what this thing is?" I said it out loud.
They looked down for a long time, their expressions were blank with mine, and I saw the old lady Si Wu slowly walking to them, reaching out and touching the white thing, and suddenly retreated with a frightened expression.
"Xinrou, ask Si Wu, look at her appearance, you must know what this is." I stood on the stone pillar and said.
Xue Xinrou turned around and asked, but Si Wu knelt on the ground, muttering something in her mouth, her voice was full of awe and fear, and the Wu clan behind her suddenly all knelt on the ground, burying their heads deeply, looking at them as if they were afraid of something.
"When is it, endless worship." I said distraughtly. "Does she even know what it is?"
Xue Xinrou probably didn't understand what the old woman said, but no matter how Xue Xinrou asked, the old woman knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, and kept repeating the same words in her mouth, Xue Xinrou could only half-kneel beside her, leaning her ears over and listening carefully for a moment.
When Xue Xinrou raised her head, she looked at the things that were still in Ye Jiuqing's hands, and then looked at me with a frightened expression: "Snake, snake's skin ......"
"Snakeskin?!" I was stunned, a little overwhelmed, of course I had seen snakeskin, but I had never seen such a fragmentary snakeskin, and it was so large. "How can the skin of a snake be in a crevice in a rock?"
I glanced at Ye Jiuqing's hand below, looked at me nervously, and then threw away the torch, took out the flashlight from the bag, and the light shone on the stone pillar, I saw Ye Jiuqing's expression becoming more and more frightened, and then the palace lord and Tian Ji and Xue Xinrou beside him raised their heads and opened their mouths, their faces full of shock.
"What's wrong?" I asked, surprised.
Ye Jiuqing's hand was actually trembling, so that the flashlight also shook, he squirmed the corners of his mouth, did not make a sound, just slowly raised his other hand, as if to tell me to shut up.
"It's just a few snakes' skins, look what scares you......"
I was suddenly stunned, how could the skin of the snake be in the crevices of the rocks, and it was firmly embedded in it, I remembered something, but I was not sure, I picked up the torch and looked carefully at the crevices of the rocks, and I was surprised to find that these crevices were tightly overlapping with each other, layer upon layer, like ......
It's like snake scales.
I subconsciously squirmed the Adam's apple, and suddenly felt the stone pillar under my feet moving, and I didn't stand firm and stumbled down from it, and the palace lord and Tian Ji helped me up, and I couldn't see anything in the dark, but I only felt that the entire cave on the opposite side seemed to be moving.
It wasn't a stone pillar at all, it was a snake coiled in a cave, but it was unimaginably big, and I didn't realize that I was standing on one of the scales.
We retreated in horror, but behind us was an abyss, until our heels hung on the edge of the cliff, and the people of the Wu tribe fell to their knees, chanting the same word in unison in awe and reverence.
"This, what are these people talking about?" Tian Ji asked in horror.
"Ancestor of all gods......" Xue Xinrou replied with a trembling voice.
Before I could speak, I suddenly saw the darkness slowly moving towards us, the pitch black and huge, and the entire spacious cavern seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness in an instant.
As the darkness slowly approached us, it felt as if the whole sky had collapsed, and the line that penetrated through the top of the cave finally illuminated the darkness, but when we saw everything clearly, I believe that the only thing left in the hearts of all present was the numbness and despair of fear.
A blue snake head appeared above our heads, the snake eyes like the red sun stared at us condescendingly, I finally understood why these witches were so afraid, snakes have nothing to fear, but if you are facing a giant snake that is like a monster in the wilderness, it is no longer a question of whether you are afraid or not.
This snake is 100 meters long, across the air can cover the sky and the sun, we stand under the giant snake, we feel like ants, the head of the snake is blue, the back is black, but the snake body scale armor has different colors, almost five colors, and the snake head has four sharp horns backwards.
"Snake?!" I muttered timidly and frightenedly.
"What, what snake?" Tian Ji asked in a panic.
In the Book of Mountains and Seas, there was a giant snake, known as the snake, later generations have the snake swallowing the elephant, is to describe the snake huge, never expected, this snake actually exists, I suddenly understand why the Wu people call this place the ancestor of ten thousand snakes.
This is probably the biggest snake, just like the ancestors of all snakes, Xue Xinrou is not bad at all, the formation of any belief has a reason and time, no wonder the Lingshan Wu clan will believe in the snake as a god, it turns out that the Lingshan Wu clan has known the existence of the snake for generations.
Their worldview was formed because of the snake, and the bitersnake inscribed in the relief of the temple of the snake god is actually the snake.
"Now, what now?" I was completely confused and asked Ye Jiuqing beside me.
"Easy to do." Ye Jiuqing smiled bitterly. "If you want to be more simple, just jump down, and you're done."
Ye Jiuqing gave up, in fact, in front of this behemoth giant snake, I believe that no one will have any intention of fighting back, not even ideas, just like an ant will never want to provoke people, we are that ant now......
Gong Jue rubbed his head suddenly, and it seemed that he was starting to have a headache again.
"If you endure it any longer, it won't hurt in a while." I actually laughed, this is not a comfort, according to Ye Jiuqing's proposal, I don't want to die on this snake, I just jumped down and killed it, dead people don't know pain.
"It wasn't pain, I felt like something was talking to me in my head." The palace lord replied distraughtly.
"Say what?" Xue Xinrou asked.
"I don't know, it's messy, and I don't understand it." Gong Jue shook his head and replied.
"It's hard to find this place, but you can't just be forced to death by a snake." Tian Ji was unwilling to say. "I don't know if there's anything that scares this giant snake."
I was stunned, and suddenly remembered that under the temple of the snake god, tens of thousands of poisonous snakes did not dare to approach my necklace and the spar, and quickly took off the necklace and opened it, and the purple light inside bloomed again, and the bright light illuminated the entire cave, and also let us completely see the whole picture of the snake, this snake is big enough to make people shudder.
The snake retreated a little, it was really afraid of the light of the spar, but there was a painful cry from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw him kneeling on the ground with his head covered, and he didn't seem to be able to stand the spar either.
"Don't bother, take the palace lord and exit first." I didn't dare to close the necklace while holding it, and I was anxious and said loudly to Tian Ji.
Tian Ji and Ye Jiuqing helped up the palace jue, I stood in front of me step by step relying on the spar to force back the snake, this desolate giant beast began to become manic, although it did not dare to touch the range of light, but the huge snake tail slapped heavily in the cave, and suddenly the mountains shook, and countless rocks fell from the sky.
"Off, turn off the necklace." The palace lord said with difficulty.
"You can't close it, you can bear with it any longer, just go out, only this thing can temporarily restrain the snake." I apologize to the palace lord.
"Listen to me, this spar will anger the snake, it can easily collapse the cave, even if you force the snake back, we will never recover, you believe me, turn off the necklace." Gong Jue gasped and his voice was firm. "I can vaguely hear my head speaking to me."
I looked back and forth at the snake and the palace lord, he was right, the snake is afraid of fighting again, the cave will collapse at any time, gritted his teeth and closed the necklace, and the snake immediately quieted down.
"What do you hear?" I asked the palace lord.
"Look at me." The palace lord replied.
"Looking at you?" I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the palace lord meant.
"It's not for you to look at me, it's the voice that says to me, look at me." Gong Jue slowly regained his composure.
"Who do you want to look at?" Xue Xinrou asked curiously.
Gong Jue didn't look back, slowly turned around and raised his head, looking at the behemoth snake without saying a word......
