In the darkness, a group of five of us, each with wounds, staggered as the cracked ground staggered as the two stone doors in front of us slowly opened.

There was endless darkness inside, and the light of three flashlights was like a needle into the sea, and it could not penetrate the terrifying darkness at all.

"Click! Whoa—"

There was another loud bang, this time, the ground under his feet completely cracked, and countless cracks split the ground into countless pieces, large and small, and the seventh master greeted him, pulling the pig's head and running towards the open dark stone door. Liang Ruoyi stretched out his hand and pulled me, and also ran in.

When our feet just stepped on the ground inside the stone gate, we heard a "boom" behind us, the ground outside the stone wall was gone, and fell into the abyss below......

"Huh......" The seventh master let out a sigh of relief, and took a flashlight to shine outside: "We have touched a big mechanism!" ”

"What?" I asked, confused.

"The depth of more than ten meters outside has sunk in almost two or three seconds, it is estimated that it will ......" The seventh master said and suddenly frowned: "No, where did the heart of the female corpse just now?!" ”

Only then did everyone think of the heart, because it was so chaotic just now, they forgot about it, and hurriedly took the flashlight and looked around to find it-the important thing is, why can a heart be put in to open these two stone doors?! Could it be that a heart can open the mechanism?!

We looked around, but we didn't find anything, the heart seemed to have disappeared in the panic just now......

"Wait, wait!" The seventh master suddenly beckoned to us, signaling us not to move, and then adjusted the flashlight to the strong high beam, and slowly shone into the distance.

Because it has not seen the light of day for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the dust caused by the collapse of the ground just now, the visibility of the flashlight in the dark is still very poor......

We followed the light of the flashlight in the hand of the seventh master through the layers of dust, and we still couldn't see the edge of here. I looked up and found that I couldn't see the top of the cave, and muttered, "Seventh Master, if I'm not mistaken, we are now in the depths of the Nala Ridge!" ”

The seventh master answered, but he didn't shift his gaze, still looking ahead, finally, the seventh master stopped the flashlight, sighed, moved the flashlight back, and stopped immediately.

We looked along the beam and found that at the edge of the beam, we could faintly see a pair of green eyes the size of mung beans!

"Wolves?!" I subconsciously shouted.

"It's not." The seventh master said.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a "hiss-" sound, it turned out to be a snake?!

This was one of my greatest fears, and I involuntarily leaned back, and then I saw the snake walking towards us on its own, and soon entered the beam of the flashlight.

It's a red snake, but when you look closely, it's actually orange with reddish-brown spots. The snake's head was small, the head and neck seemed to be a little indistinguishable, and the pupils were erect in those green eyes, and after a few seconds, the whole body completely appeared in our sight.

Surprisingly, this snake is only the thickness of a fist, and its length seems to be less than half a zhang, which is too far worse than the golden python I encountered before, this is a small snake at all!

Why is there such a small snake in this kind of tomb?!

"Tail ......," Liang Ruoyi said softly.

I looked at the tail of the little red snake and saw that it had an iron chain tied to its tail, the thickness of its fingers, and I don't know what it was tied to behind it.

And in the small half of the snake's raised body, you can still see a slightly raised piece, which is slowly swallowing down - it turns out that it has eaten the heart just now! It was the bloody breath of the heart that tempted the snake, and when it crawled over and ate the heart, it pulled the chain on its tail, which triggered the mechanism and opened the two stone doors.

This mechanism is really mysterious, but what kind of medicine can make a snake sleep soundly for hundreds of years, smell the bloody breath of the heart, and then wake up quickly?

This is so mysterious.

"It's a stick." Budai Monk said suddenly.

"Dirt sticks? What is it? The pig's head hid behind the old monk and asked.

"This snake." The seventh master smiled: "It is not a poisonous snake, its scientific name is red sand python, its whole body is covered with small scales, and because its tail is short and blunt, it is called 'soil stick', and it is only distributed in Central Asia in the world." ”

"What is it—what is it doing?" I looked at the snake as if it was not hostile, but just stood in a beam of light nearly a foot away in front of us, spitting red letters at us.

"It's blind." The Seventh Master said: "The red sand python is one of the easiest snakes in the world to survive in the dark, and its eyes will begin to degenerate as soon as they are born because of genetic problems, and they will soon become blind. ”

"Such a pitiful ......" I began to pity the snake: it was blind, and it had been drugged and slept here for hundreds of years, and it was cruel that it had a chain through its tail.

"Let's go, it's not going to be offensive to us." As he spoke, the Seventh Master walked towards the front, everyone had the same idea at this time, following the iron chain on the tail of the red sand python, maybe they would be able to find the ultimate mystery in this tomb.

In the dark, the dust was still falling, and several of us took flashlights to bypass the red sand python, and the thing didn't even turn its head, and let us over.

Walking backwards along the chain, after walking for about two minutes, Liang Ruoyi shouted softly: "Look! It's the end! ”

Everyone stared at each other, and sure enough, in the dimness, they could vaguely see a wall a few meters away, and after walking a few steps, they found that there seemed to be some carvings on this stone wall, some places were very smooth, and some places could see a carved line.

"What is this?" The seventh master stopped, turned down the light of the flashlight, and shone it straight ahead, and the pig head hurriedly took out two flashlights from his backpack and turned them on at the same time, and the light of a total of five flashlights together with me passed, and he was startled for a moment!

What appeared in front of us was a huge steppe wolf head carving about three zhang high and three zhang wide! The wolf's eyes were glaring ahead, his hair stood up, his nose was slightly wrinkled, and his mouth was open, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, which looked lifelike, majestic, and imposing!

"Rely on ......" the pig's head was the first to open his mouth and said: "Good guy, it's amazing!" If it weren't for the slow reaction, I would have thought it was true, and I would have turned around in fright and ran! ”

"This should be the tomb of Yuan Yizong!" The seventh master said excitedly: "I finally found it!" By the way, let's see where that chain leads! ”

I answered, took a flashlight and looked along the chain, and saw that the iron chain tied to the tail of the red sand python, the other end was behind a rock under the wolf's head, and the rock was also very strange: the rock was only the size of a human head, an inverted triangle, and the iron chain went around its body, it seemed that this stone was originally standing in an inverted triangle, and the center of gravity was on the red sand python that had been sleeping motionless for hundreds of years, if the red sand python did not move, the iron chain was tight, just enough to erect the stone, and when it moved, the iron chain was loosened, The stone loses its center of gravity and falls.

And the mechanism that controlled the two stone doors when we came in was probably this stone.

"Sha-sha-"

We were looking at the stone, when we suddenly heard a sound in the darkness behind us, and then we saw a long shadow reflect, and the blind red sand python walked past us on its own, and walked towards the darkness at the other end......

"Dude!" I smiled wryly, "I don't know where I'm going?" ”

"Don't worry about it yet!" The Seventh Master frowned, but there was a hint of excitement on his face: "Let's find the entrance and go in first!" ”

After that, the seventh master greeted the pig's head, and the two walked towards the wolf's head with flashlights. The three of us looked around and walked after them.

In fact, when I first came in, I thought there was something strange here, but now I have figured it out: the darkness here, perhaps because of the dust, is particularly oppressive! Unlike those tombs before, some dark tombs, just because they don't see the day, make people feel that they can't see the edge at a glance, and there is a sense of fear in their hearts; But here is different, even the air, it makes me feel very depressed, as if the sky is about to fall, and I don't want to stay for a second longer!

Perhaps, when Genghis Khan led the Mongolian cavalry to see the Nalati steppe through the wind and snow and mist, and shouted "sun", the mood was the same as I do now - I was also eagerly looking forward to seeing the red sun.
