Chapter 12 The Basin
On the bridge, although Xiao Rong walked slowly, every step was very stable, so the rope bridge basically did not shake. On the contrary, it was me, one foot deep and one foot shallow, who walked the rope bridge like a swing. The more I got halfway through, the tighter the rope became, and I almost became a big U-shape, and I was so nervous that I felt like I was on the tip of a knife with every step.
Sweat slid down my forehead, and the rope bridge shook so much that I felt dizzy. I grabbed the rope, tried to settle down, and then looked back at the mice, but I didn't catch up, so I was relieved, but at this time, Xiao Rong yelled: "Not good!" They're going to bite off the rope! ”
"What?!"
I was startled, my whole body trembled, and I hurriedly said that it was better to leave quickly! You don't know how powerful that thing's big teeth are......
Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly sank down...... It stopped, then sank again.
"Hold on!"
Before Xiao Rong could finish speaking, I suddenly felt the suspension bridge under my feet crooked, and my whole body slid forward, and then flew towards the opposite cliff as if I had been picked up. I waited for the consequences of this swing as if I was dead - as I approached the opposite cliff, Xiao Rong squatted on the cliff wall with both legs, then kicked his feet, and then bent his legs to squat, basically stabilizing his body. And I wanted to learn Xiao Rong's movements, but I couldn't find the trick at all, and my body hit the cliff wall all of a sudden, and I was suddenly knocked to pieces, and the rope in my hand came out three or four meters.
"Hold on!" Xiao Rong looked at me eagerly, and now that he was above me, I could see the soles of his shoes when I looked up.
Climbing the rope, Xiao Rong began to slowly climb up. I also climbed twice, but after the collision just now, the planks under my feet were like soda crackers, and they were sloppy one by one. The rope was stretched straight, and I could even hear a horrible "creaking" sound from the wooden stakes on the edge of the cliff.
I already had a wound on my shoulder, and now I had reached the limit of what my arms could use. I said I couldn't catch it, and I was running through a million ways to die, when an ominous premonition suddenly came. I only felt that the rope in my hand was loosened, and before I could react, Xiao Rong and I fell heavily to the bottom of the ditch like stones......
When I woke up, I was at the bottom of a ditch. It was already dark, and I don't know how long it was. I found myself not falling to my death, but also lying on a soft object. Because it's so dark, I can't see what is behind it, but I feel sticky to the touch and a little disgusting.
From time to time, the moonlight pierced through the fog and scattered at the very bottom of the trench, by the dim light. I looked around and faintly saw Xiao Rong lying two meters away from me. He wasn't as lucky as me, and when he fell, his body seemed to hit the cliff, and I don't know if the injury was serious. I struggled to get up and went over to help him, and my hands were stained with blood.
"Are you alright? Wake up! Wake up! ”
Xiao Rong coughed twice and slowly woke up. Looking at where we fell, he sighed.
"Tell me first, where did we fall?" I asked.
"It's over......"
"Damn, don't scare me!" Hearing him say that, I broke out in a cold sweat.
"I didn't scare you, it's really over this time." Xiao Rong smiled bitterly. He covered his abdomen, stood up with some shaking, quickly took out bandages and hemostatic medicine from the backpack behind him, and treated his wounds. I asked him if it mattered, and he said it was fine, just a flesh wound. At this time, I found a flashlight that had fallen not far away, picked it up and shone it around, and I couldn't help but gasp.
Damn! What the hell is this place?!
As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with milky white spheres, mixed with leaves and dirt, some of which were translucent, and something seemed to be wriggling inside. The light continued to extend into the distance, and the whole ditch was full of this thing, densely packed, and this number was probably calculated in tens of millions.
"...... this?"
"It's a snake's den." Xiao Rong replied.
"Snake Nest? So these are all snake eggs? As I spoke, I chuckled in my heart. I thought that when I fell just now, my back was crushed by dozens of me.
"Brother Yang, do you know the 'pot'?" Xiao Rong asked.
"You mean...... The one of the Shang King? ”
I said in my heart that I know, the well-known little wife of the king of Shang likes to throw the little palace maid who has made a mistake into a pit full of poisonous snakes...... Don't? I looked around and suddenly panicked.
"These are the eggs of the kind of flying head snake that bit you," Xiao Rong said lightly, "The little snake that has just come out of the shell, although it is not poisonous, but they specifically bite people's necks, and after biting off, they will put their heads on the corpse of people, and when they grow up, they will become the appearance of the flying head snake you saw outside the city before." ”
I think Xiao Rong, this kid, is really bad-hearted, in this kind of atmosphere, he will say anything about horror! I swallowed and said, "But that's not right, you see so many snake eggs here, all hatched, how many people do they have to bite?" "Could it be that there are quite a lot of people who come here every year to dig for treasure? Could it be that Chengdu has made this place a tourist attraction?
"Not all flying snakes have to parasitize on human corpses, and some have no choice, they will also parasitize on the carcasses of cattle and sheep, and such parasitism is not necessary. And this city is only now in ruins, and there are still many inhabitants in the past. Xiao Rong explained.
I asked him, how do you know so many things? Xiao Rong looked at me, and then explained very perfunctorily that he also heard other people's legends.
I wanted to continue asking, but after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that this was really not a good place to talk, so I dragged him, "Come on, let's stop talking nonsense, let's find a way to climb up first." ”
"Can't climb, there's too much moss, it's too slippery." Xiao Rong touched the cliff wall, shook his head, and then walked a few steps against the edge of the trench, picking up a few branches scattered on the ground, not knowing what to do.
"What then?" I was in a hurry, and my heart said that I didn't want to die, and my body became a part of the snake.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Rong suddenly raised his hand and asked me not to move, I didn't know what was going on, I just waited quietly. The wait was so hard that my clothes were soaked with sweat. "Turn off the flashlight!" Xiao Rong said softly, I did it immediately, and after a moment of silence, I saw Xiao Rong staring at the depths of the trench.
The fog cleared, reflecting the dim moonlight, and in the darkness of the deepest part of the trench, a figure slowly swayed, inch by inch, in the direction where we were......
"Run!"
Xiao Rong roared, I was stunned, just about to lift my feet, I felt cold on my calves, raised my feet to see, only to see a small flower snake is crawling up along my trouser leg, I was startled, I didn't think about it and pulled the little flower snake off the trouser leg with my bare hands, the snake spit letters, with a human face.
"Brother Yang......" Xiao Rong slapped me and knocked the snake in my hand to the ground. Run! He yelled, and I reacted and ran like crazy. There was a rustling sound behind him. The sound became louder and louder, and I looked back as I ran, only to see tens of thousands of small flower snakes crawling from all sides of the trench, black and pressed into a patch, like black waves rolling over, and the white snake eggs on the ground were instantly covered by the snake waves, and the speed was outrageous.
How many snake eggs I stepped on, I don't know. I ran as fast as I could, feeling as if the trench would never end. On both sides of the cliff, many small flower snakes were also surging down, and some suddenly flew up and wrapped around me, and I slapped and flew away, and the speed slowed down.
Xiao Rong took off his coat as he ran, wrapped his clothes around the branch he had just picked up, and then smashed the snake eggs with one end of the branch, and then, I saw him take out a lighter and point it at the slime-stained clothes, and the fire started at once.
I don't know what the mucus in this snake egg is, it's so flammable. The road ahead was instantly illuminated, Xiao Rong waved the torch, and several small flower snakes that had originally flown up were immediately frightened away by the firelight. I said in my heart that Xiao Rong is really a little capable, and it's really right to follow him!
Although it is a good thing to have weapons, it can be seen that Xiao Rong is still very careful with the torches, because our feet and bodies are also stained with a lot of the liquid of the snake's eggs, in case the clothes burn together, will we not kill ourselves?
"Don't stop, go all the way!" Xiao Rong put the fighting knife on his waist and opened. Throwing all the knives at me, I suddenly turned around and rushed into the snake's nest with a torch.
I paused for a moment and immediately understood.
I'm grass, this guy actually wants to help me cushion the back?
"Rong Feng!"
I yelled, reaching out to pull him. When we turned around, we saw a black human head suddenly flying towards us, and Xiao Rong couldn't dodge it, so he grabbed it and grabbed the hair of the thing - I don't know if it was hair or not. A slender snake tail under the human head was immediately thrown up and quickly wrapped around Xiao Rong's arm, getting tighter and tighter.
Xiao Rong grabbed the head, the thing grinned, spit out a bright red letter, and bit his wrist, Xiao Rong hit the snake's head hard against the cliff, only one moment, the head was shattered, and the milky white brain was like a tofu brain, and it was immediately scattered on the ground.
More than a dozen small flower snakes flew towards us at once. The mountain knife hacked a few to death. Xiao Rong waved the torch in his hand, and the firelight slashed, and more than a dozen snakes shrank back at once as if they had been poked in the back.
"Why are you still here? You go, I'm fine! Xiao Rong shouted at me, with full anger in his voice, as if he wanted to kick me to death. I hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted my teeth and grabbed away. The mountain knife had no choice but to rush forward. ran all the way, but along the way, I felt very remorseful in my heart.
With on. The mountain knife slashed to kill more than a dozen small flower snakes that pounced, and I felt that the survival instinct had reached the maximum limit, and I thought to myself that I must be a greedy person who is afraid of death, because at the moment I am running so fast that I can't believe it, and there is no problem in winning an Olympic championship.
The little flower snakes were almost all left behind by me, and just as I was gasping for breath and feeling like I was about to collapse, suddenly a huge black shadow appeared in front of me.
The shadow almost obscured the moonlight, and when I looked up in the moonlight, I saw a huge stone wall in front of me.
Dog's day, it's a dead end!
