Chapter 18: The Cliff
After the gunshot, we waited outside for a long time and still didn't hear a sound from inside, could the black guy have died inside? What the hell is that thing in the mouth of the big white girl?
The big white girl waited for a while, and then beckoned two more subordinates to come. After listening to her explanation, the two of them were a few meters away and slowly dived in one after the other. After a while, there was a sudden burst of gunfire inside. After the gunshot, a loud explosion came from inside, and someone actually used a grenade.
My ears couldn't hear anything in that moment, and my mind was a mess. I don't know how long it took, Nangong pulled me up lying on the ground. It was only at this time that my brain began to be able to think, but there were still bursts of roaring in my ears, and I only saw Nangong opening his mouth and gesturing something in front of me, but I couldn't hear a word. Finally she reluctantly pressed me to my feet and rubbed my ears with her hands. She rubbed it like this for a while, and my ears began to hear the sound.
At this time, Da Bai Niu had already personally led a few people to slowly walk towards the depths of the dense fog, and the monk and Nangong also followed. I didn't want to go in yet, but now I really can't help it, so I have to follow along.
When we walked about a hundred meters, we found a corpse and a blown up python next to the path. This python is completely black, and it is more than thirty meters long, not counting its blown up mouth. This snake is exactly the same as the one I saw in the lake, it is also black, is this island the base camp of this python?
The big white girl pointed to the snake and said to the monk: "This thing is bigger than Senji, do you know what it is?" ”
The monk glanced at the big snake and said, "This is Mahuraga, but this is just a cub, and it has not yet grown to the level of feathering. ”
After hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Feathering?" Can this thing still become an immortal? ”
The monk nodded and said, "Mahu Luojia is one of the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, and it is the god who manages the python, and it is said that they are all human snake heads and have a snake tail. The inscription that said that anyone who came to the island would be punished by the Maharaja did not necessarily mean a lie. ”
After listening to the monk's words, I thought about the appearance of Namaharaja. It's like a cross between a human and a python, could it really exist? I've heard a lot of Buddhist legends, but I've always been a negative against those that sound ridiculous. Although I am a skeptic, I have never believed in things that cannot exist if you think about them with common sense.
However, this big black snake is really bigger than the forest snake I saw in "Animal World", it is said that the forest snake is the largest snake known in the world, it seems that there are too few things known to humans, at least I don't know that there is such a thing that I don't know the breed, and it is said that it can also transform. This so-called "Mahuraka" looks no different from an ordinary python except that it is a little larger.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything from the monk, the big white girl took us and walked forward. I didn't run into any other pythons along the way. After walking for about half an hour, we were blocked by a cliff. The cliff is not wide, it should be only about 10 meters wide, but it is too long, and I can't see the end of the cliff on either side of the cliff due to the fog.
The big white girl sent a few people along the cliff to explore the way, and those people walked for more than ten minutes and did not come back. When the monk saw the cliff, he crouched on the edge of the cliff and looked down, as if to see what was under it. I tried to squat down with my stomach in his posture and looked, but I saw nothing but the fog.
The monk took out a glowing stick, shook it, tied it with a rope and threw it down. The glowing rod with a faint halo fell down in a whirlpool, about thirty meters down, and only when the halo of the glowing rod was almost impossible to see clearly, it flicked upward.
The monk pursed his lips and guided the rope with both hands, slowly shaking the glowing rod up. At this moment, the halo of the glowing rod suddenly disappeared, and before the monk could react, he was dragged down with the rope. There's something down here! I let out an exclamation and watched as the monk fell off a cliff before my eyes.
My cry attracted Nangong and Da Bai Niu, and when Da Bai Niu saw that the monk had fallen, she asked someone to find a searchlight and shine it at the bottom of the cliff. When I followed the light to the bottom of the cliff, I was speechless.
The bottom of this cliff was densely packed with the kind of big black snakes I had seen before. I took a cursory look, and there were at least seventy or eighty of them, some of them coiled alone, others crawling among the snakes, entangled with each other, and I could see that a chill rushed up to my feet. Doesn't "Animal World" say that pythons are solitary animals? Are these big guys here awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature?
I searched everywhere for the monk's traces, but it was too big and full of pythons, and I couldn't find where the monk was for a while.
At this moment, our searchlight attracted several pythons coiled alone, and they slowly stretched their bodies, and one of them directly stood upright, and instantly came to me. The huge black snake head was three meters in front of my eyes, and I could even smell the fishy smell in the snake's mouth. When the serpent saw me, it didn't attack me directly, but just stared at me straight at me, spitting out the letter again and again.
Looking at the behemoth in front of me, I couldn't even think, so I just squatted here and looked up at it, desperately telling myself in my head to quickly retreat, but my body didn't listen to the command of my brain at all, and I couldn't even move a finger.
At this time, I was basically parallel to the snake's head, although I had confronted this guy last time, but it was a little farther away, and I could even see the scales on the snake's head and the letter it spit out.
The big black snake lowered its head and slowly approached me, but I couldn't do anything, and I was so frightened that I couldn't even take my eyes off the big snake.
To be honest, it's really scary to look at something that doesn't blink, its eyes are looking directly at the most fearful side of your heart as if they were completely emotionless.
Just as I was staring at the big black snake with big eyes, there were bursts of gunfire all around, and the big white girl couldn't help but shoot. The sudden sound of gunfire pulled me back into the real world, and I stood up and prepared to run backwards. When the big snake saw me stand up, it suddenly opened its mouth and let out a terrible hissing sound, and I only felt that a strong wind was blowing around me, forcing me to walk towards the open mouth step by step.
When I was forced to approach the mouth of the snake step by step, I found that this big black snake was different from an ordinary python. On the head of the snake, the black scales have white veins on them, and these textures are so thin that they can't be seen at all if you are far away.
From the top of the snake's mouth to the place between the eyes, those textures make up a blurry human face! Although the face was very blurry, I was so close to it at the moment that I could clearly see the white texture on each scale, and the human face formed by those lines was full of facial features, although it was not very clear, but it was definitely a human face.
But at the moment I can't do that much, I still have a few steps to walk into the serpent's mouth, and I can't get out of this strange wind.
Just when I was in despair, the monk suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the cliff, saw my situation, ran directly to me, knocked me down, and slowly climbed forward with me.
Strange to say, when I was lying on the ground, the strange gust of wind suddenly disappeared. I followed the monk and climbed forward and looked behind at the big black snake. The big snake still had its mouth wide open, but it had no intention of climbing up.
I followed the monk and climbed forward with great difficulty, and after more than ten meters, the monk ran forward with me. After the monk appeared, the people of the big white girl also followed the monk's appearance and slowly crawled forward.
After the monk stood up, he ignored no one and ran straight to the front. I looked around and finally found Nangong, she was with the big white girl, I called her and ran back with the monk.
When we returned to the camp again, the big white girl counted the people under him, and found that the original team of nearly thirty people was now only a dozen or so, and the rest had either fallen into the cliff or been swallowed by the snake. The big white girl became a little silent, probably something she hadn't expected before she set off, and before they reached the so-called ruins, they had lost almost half of their men, and many of them were skilled tomb robbers and soldiers. Will we really be able to reach the monk's Sanga leaf alive? How many of us will make it out alive?
Everyone sat silently by the fire and made no sound, and the whole camp fell into an eerie silence. Just as I was about to walk over to the monk and ask him how he had climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, a sound of footsteps came to our ears, and everyone stood up and took up their weapons in the direction from which the footsteps came.
It was the people who came back from exploring the road and found that we were not there. It was not difficult to see from the situation on the scene that we were under attack, so they went straight back to the camp to join us. Those big snakes have made our nerves a little too nervous, who else can there be but us here?
Through the few foreigners who came back, we knew that the cliff was very long, and they had not seen the end of the cliff after walking three kilometers, as if the island had been divided in half by the cliff. But how could such a narrow cliff have such a long depth if it was formed by natural forces?
After listening to the white girl's telling, I feel more and more that this place is weird, there are too many strange places and strange creatures, but there are often shadows of artificial layout in key places. Whenever we approached our goal, we encountered some seemingly accidental obstacle that prevented us from approaching the secret of the center of the island.
No longer thinking about the questions I couldn't figure out, I walked up to the monk and asked, "Monk, didn't you fall off a cliff?" How did you get up? ”
The monk looked around and whispered to me, "There's something down the cliff." Later, let's go over and have a look. ”
