Chapter 45: The Golden Bell
The cat's claws swept along the top of my hair, and I screamed, and the soles of my feet let go, but my hands subconsciously clung to the vine, only to slam my body into the wall of the well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I was terrified by the crushing stones that kept throwing at me, and when I looked up, I saw that there were three deep cracks in the wall of the well above my head that had been scratched by the cat's claws.
I'm done thinking! This big cat is now playing a fishing game and is playing hard, and if it continues to toss like this, this dry well will not be able to hold on, and it will definitely collapse, and I will hide in it, won't I be buried alive?
But how do I get out?
Thinking quickly, I gritted my teeth and quickly pulled out the dagger from my back, and when I looked up, the cat's paw was indeed here again!
This time, the huge cat's paw first scratched tentatively at the entrance of the hole. Worried about the falling stones, I hurriedly protected my head, and then I felt a strong wind blowing behind me. When I looked back, the whole cat's paws were sticking into the well, and the sharp nails were digging deep under me, bulging into a semicircle, covering me like a lid.
I shuddered with fear, but I used the last shred of my sanity to keep myself calm. I know...... The time has come!
I raised my dagger and stabbed the big cat hard, the blade digging into the pad of flesh in its paws, and then I grabbed it with both hands, clutching its flesh. The big cat had rough skin and thick flesh, and it probably didn't feel any pain in this prick, and its paws went up, along with me and countless broken stones.
I feel like I'm really playing with my life this time! As soon as the cat's paw came out of the well, the sun shone down, and I immediately jumped out and fell to the ground. Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, put my hands in gear, shrunk and rolled out several laps, but I didn't make much movement.
I didn't even dare to gasp for air, and as soon as I got up, I shrank into a bush and looked in the direction of the big cat.
The fool didn't even notice that I had come up with me, and was still tossing by the well. My heart was overjoyed, and I bowed down and fled to the other end of the forest.
As I fled, I looked around for Xiao Rong and Dadong. The garden was so quiet that not even the slightest sound of finches chirping and insects could be heard, as if it were really just a painting, unreal and frighteningly unreal.
I was a little lost, and I ran blindly in the forest for dozens of meters, and I said that these guys are too well hidden, why didn't they see anyone?
Or are they out of the garden?
As soon as this thought came out, I broke out in a cold sweat, in this garden, I can't even tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and there is a big monster chasing after me. It won't be so decaying!
But when I think about it, it doesn't feel right! Without me, they wouldn't be able to get out of this "door", and they would use me as a "gecko's tail", and if I died, wouldn't these people be trapped here for the rest of their lives?
Then an even worse thought popped into my head - could it be that they were all eaten by the cat demon?
Thinking of this, my scalp tingled, and I subconsciously glanced back.
I saw that the big cat was still squatting by the dry well, its face facing away, and it didn't know what it was thinking. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the fine leaves and shone on the big cat's body, and the pair of large skeletal bells on its ears shone golden, which was very dazzling.
The shape of the bell was exactly the same as the small gold bell on the silk thread in the door of the epiglottis.
I had guessed that this cat demon might be blind after staying in the dark burrow for a long time. Later, in order to hide the smell, Dadong confused me with rotten apricots, but this cat demon can still catch up with me immediately, so I wonder if its sense of smell has also deteriorated, and its way of judging our actions is hearing?
If the little bell in the epiglottis makes a "magic sound" that drives the big cat crazy, then of course it is possible to do the opposite, for example: make the bell a sound catcher!
Thinking of this, I suddenly had a very bold guess - could the big bell on the cat demon's ears be its two "hearing aids"? Assuming that once there is any wind and grass, the big bell will immediately transform the ordinary sound into some kind of "sound wave" that only the big cat can hear, then the big cat's ability to locate by sound may be better than that of bats.
Maybe Jing Lianhong knew early on that this cat demon would degenerate in all aspects of its organs if it stayed in the cave for a long time, so he used some method to domesticate it from the beginning, so that as soon as it heard this sound wave, it would take the initiative to attack.
To put it more mysteriously, it is possible that this special sound wave is not received by the ears, but directly stimulates the central nervous system of the cat demon's brain.
…… Will this really be the case?
Hearing aids are just electronic products that only appeared in the early 20th century, did Jing Lianhong travel back? He even understands biotechnology?
No, it can't be!
I shook my head and rejected my own idea. Such absurd assumptions reminded me of a novel I had read in junior high school, and although the author was not famous, I still remember the content of the book.
In the book, it is written that "ancient humans" actually had a higher level of wisdom and civilization than modern humans! said that Qin Shi Huang relied on missiles to unify the six countries; Li Chunfeng once led the army to the distant outer space; And Bian Que has also had "cranial replacement" surgery more than once, and he even understands cloning. The ancients mastered the ability to transcend time and space; The development of medical technology has reached the point where life and death can be controlled...... In comparison, modern people are simply low!
But suddenly one day, this high level of civilization was wiped out by some powerful force in outer space, and it was from this beginning that humanity started from scratch as if it had collectively lost its memory. Therefore, what we modern people know is only the ancient feudal and backward side, but we have never thought that the ancient people are actually much more civilized than us.
…… Perhaps, it is not impossible that the setting in the book is really reality, otherwise how could there be so many unsolved mysteries in history?
No, I seem to be thinking a little too far. I came back to my senses, looked at the big cat again, and suddenly realized that I had forgotten to run away.
I don't know if I was dazzled or what, but in the distance, I saw a black shadow silently touching the back of the big cat.
I was stunned for a moment, thinking it was an illusion, rubbing my eyes and taking a closer look, I immediately gasped...... It's Xiao Rong?!
That kid didn't know what he wanted to do, looking at it from a distance, I suddenly felt that this scene was familiar, and it seemed that something similar had happened in Xuanyuan Ancient City before. At that time, Xiao Rong went to attack the human-faced snake in order to get the "dragon fetus", why this time?
…… No, no matter why, he risked his life to find trouble with the big cat, it was definitely a mantis arm as a car, damn it, looking for death!
But I can't say anything to stop it, I can only do it in a hurry. I saw Xiao Rong grasping the folds on the big cat's skin, kicking with both feet, and jumping onto the big cat's back with a three-step climb on the wall. At this glance, my heart hung with it.
Xiao Rong stepped on the backbone of the big cat, his movements were very light, his pair of military boots weighing more than a pound were like wings, and a pair of feet seemed to be stepping on a cotton stack.
At the moment, I was a little far away from him, and I couldn't see it clearly, when I saw him jump on the back of the big cat's neck, and he was about to do something. Suddenly, the cat demon turned around, as if sensing something, and stood up suddenly.
At this moment, Xiao Rong almost fell off the cat's back. I saw that he stretched out his arms and steadied his body, and it was easy for him to stand still.
I ran more than ten meters towards that side with a cat's waist, and saw the big cat move again halfway.
This time, the beast's movements were obviously different, it lowered its body, its ass was pouted high, its two front paws extended, and its sharp nails were all open.
I'm grass, why does this action look a little familiar? As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly shouted in my heart, and hurriedly shouted, "Watch your step-!" As soon as the words fell, I saw the big cat shaking its flesh and skin, and trembling all over.
I was dumbfounded when I saw it, and this shaking made Xiao Rong fly out and fall into the grass.
I sighed gloomily and cursed in my heart, "What a death!" It's okay to eat and have nothing to do, so why don't you provoke it? "Well, the big cat heard my shout, stopped moving, and immediately turned his head to me.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in my heart that this fucking self was just a fire start!
I scrambled to get my hands on a weapon, but then I remembered that the black bear was stuck to the big cat's paw and forgot to take it back. I jumped to my feet in a hurry, and remembered that I still had a palm mine, soaked in water, and I didn't know if I could use it, but I couldn't care so much at the moment, and after taking it out of my trouser pocket, I quickly loaded it, and shouted Xiao Rong's name while slipping away.
Xiao Rong didn't answer, and I didn't know how it fell, I looked at it from a distance, and took a breath of cool air with a "sizzle", and suddenly found that there was still a person on the cat's back!
