Chapter 35: Dragons

Strangely, the talisman spun around Sonny's head twice, then turned around and flew back again. Zhang Qian stretched out his hand to catch the talisman and said, "He didn't encounter evil, it seems that he was poisoned." It may have been a hallucination that prompted him to do so. ”

"Then why are we all right?" Gao Yanan said strangely.

"You give him a vermilion fruit to eat, and it's fine. That thing can detoxify. We eat it every day, so the body produces substances that resist toxins, but that kid doesn't have such good blessings. Granny Blueflower's hoarse voice pierced our ears, and we immediately knew what to do.

Seeing Sonny's eyes light up and his dilated pupils begin to gather, we knew he was fine. Sonny looked at everyone surrounding him and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" Why are they all around me? What's wrong with me? Li Hua said: "Don't you really know? Sonny shook his head and said, "I...... Oh, I see. Just now I saw a cadaver hugging my leg, and another cadaver stood up, and he was going to bite me, and I fought with her. Then I didn't know. Did you save me? What about the dried corpses?

I shook my head and said, "Sonny, there was no corpse attacking you, you were just poisoned and hallucinating. It's okay now, the poison has been resolved, so you're fine. The corpse has not been touched, and we have already probed. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Let's go, move on, maybe there's something ahead that will interest us." Passing by the group of dried corpses, everyone walked cautiously, not daring to move forward quickly. It seems that this place has entered the core of hell, otherwise there would be no such thing. Although we are very careful, Lu Liang reminds us from time to time to pay attention to places and avoid things that cannot be touched. I didn't think Lu Liang had much effect before, and I always used him as a pistachio, but now I feel that there is a difference between him.

We walked smoothly, not only paying attention to the ruins left by the Mayans, but also carefully looking for the way back. Lu Liang frowned and said, "There is something strange about this layer. It doesn't seem right. I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What went wrong? Lu Liang said with a wry smile: "This layer is too strange, there is no mechanism to ambush." "Ahh What's the problem, isn't it bad to have no mechanism to ambush?

Gao Yanan also said: "Yes, how can there be no ambush here? If there is no mechanism for ambush, there is only one explanation that can be established, and that is that there are dangerous animals. It could be something like a forest snake, a crocodile, or a carnivorous bat, so there's no need to set up an ambush. Hearing Gao Yanan say the same, we also became uncautious.

Granny Blue Flower suddenly said: "There is something in front, it may be a forest snake, I smell a fishy smell coming over." "We immediately picked up our guns and aimed them at the space in front of us. In front of it is a circular passage, and the flashlight can't shine inside. There seems to be something inside that can devour the light. Surrounded by white stones, the glow of a flashlight reflected faintly on it, yes this hall is not dark for you, but here is an exception.

We walked slowly over and I took a closer look at the cave. I'm a little stupid, these are all obsidian. Although obsidian is said to be black, it is generally green. Just like gemstones, except for pure red, the rest of the yellow, green, and purple gemstones are called sapphires. Of course, there is one other exception, and that is emeralds. However, this gemstone coin ruby is still rare. But here it is true obsidian, pure black.

Gao Yanan looked at me stunned and looked at the cave without speaking, and asked, "Professor Shui, what's wrong?" I pointed uneasily to the cave and said, "Here, but pure obsidian." It's obsidian, you know, it's just a gemstone, and it's not worth less than gold. Such a large cave is actually made of obsidian. Have you thought about the value of this channel? Why did he build such a cave here? What can live in it? ”

Ye Simin opened his mouth and said, "It's a dragon." Only dragons deserve to be here. We watched him quietly, thinking about dragons all the time since he knew there was a dragon in it. Actually, we also wanted to see what it was like to know what a dragon looked like. We have too much yearning for this kind of legendary thing. It is the existence of Chinese in their bones, and everyone says that they are the descendants of the dragon, but who has seen it? Many years ago, some archaeologists said that the dragon was a product of the combination of the totems of other ethnic groups taken by the Yellow Emperor during his conquest, and there was no such thing at all. But when dinosaurs were defined in 1815, dragons were also used to make their names.

I looked at Gao Yanan and asked, "Do you want to go in?" Gao Yanan looked at the crowd and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Ye Simin blurted out, "Yes." Everyone nodded silently, for everyone, the appearance of a creature like a dragon was also a big temptation for them. Lu Liang muttered: "If a descendant of Yan and Huang said that the dragon was in front of me, we would also have the courage to go to see it, so we missed it." If you let someone else really do this, you will be despised to death by others. ”

We walked slowly into the cavern, approaching gently, and our hearts were about to jump out of our throats. I gritted my teeth and rushed inside, and if there really was a dragon, I would immediately quit. Dragons must be stunned by the sudden appearance of creatures, right? If that's all it takes, it's much better to rub around at the entrance of the cave. Everyone was also amazed by my movements. In these several expeditions, I gave them stability, carefulness, and reason. Suddenly, seeing such an impulsive action from me, everyone was stunned on the spot.

Looking at the scales all over the ground, I was speechless in surprise. I stammered, "Quick...... Fast forward...... Come in, there is ...... There is a good ...... The scales of the East and West ...... are golden yellow, and although there are only a few of them, they all prove the existence of dragons. Just don't know where the dragon has gone now?

Everyone stumbled in, and when they saw this scene, they were also a little distracted. Gao Yanan muttered, "This may be the reason why this place is called the Golden City. If he goes out a lot, how can people not think that the shiny yellow is gold? We have to take these scales away, I don't know if the country will use them to clone a real dragon. That's a lot more precious than a giant panda. Maybe we can also do a feat of a Rising Dragon. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Eldest sister, it's good to be a man who blows the flute and rides the dragon." Leng Feng said: "Who said that only the Xiao clan is worthy of riding the dragon, and the dragon is also divided into male and female, so we don't take the male one." Maybe this dragon is the mother's. ”

I let out a long sigh, where is this, how did the dragon come out is the mother? Why are we here. I hurriedly said, "Let's see what else there is, and there is no text or anything." ”

Yu Qian exclaimed: "Look, it's a crystal skull, this is a good thing." There are only three in the world. I didn't think there were two of them. Haha, we can go back to the errand. This is a good thing, much more valuable than the ethereal dragon. Yu Qian smiled and picked up the crystal skull, put it in the backpack, threw useless ropes and other things on the ground, and said, "You guys pack those scales, let's get out of here quickly." There is nothing else. ”

We looked closely, and there was no writing on the walls. Although we all wanted to know what the real dragon looked like, we still chose to retreat from danger. Nothing is more important than life. It's also a good thing that the dragon isn't there, if he's in it, how can we get the crystal skull, how can we get the scales.

We quickly got out of the cave, and I chiseled a fist-sized piece of obsidian into the cave and put it in my backpack, which was a good thing, this kind of pure black obsidian was very rare, and I really couldn't look at the green glow. This one is different, it can absorb light, and this is the first time I've seen this kind of stone. I'm going to take it back to study and study, as a geologist, I have never seen a stone, how can this be worthy of this title.

Gao Yanan looked at me and said, "Professor Shui, what should we do now?" If we don't find a way up, do we want to go up to the hut over there? ”

"Don't." Zhang Qiang was the first to object: "I don't want to go to the corpse group anymore, it's too scary." ”

I nodded, I didn't want to go, I just felt more comfortable, why didn't I feel comfortable. I pointed to the front and said, "We're not there yet, what's the hurry." ”

There was a dragon cave, and the treasure in the dragon cave was taken away, and everyone was really not interested, and they all walked in fear, and the cautious appearance made me more and more nervous and uneasy. A door appeared in front of us, and we were overjoyed and ran as fast as we could. Pushing the door open, we wilted. This is indeed the way out, but there is a sea of fire in the middle, and the raging flames are three or four meters high, I really don't know where the oxygen comes from, because the flames are not biased in the slightest, and I can't see the wind coming in.

There was a clear layer of liquid on the ground, and I don't know what it was. I gently stretched out the gun, quickly dipped it in the muzzle, retracted the gun, and touched it with my hand, which had a certain viscosity. I sniffed it carefully again, and there was a pungent smell of crude oil. I was surprised and said, "Is this crude oil?" How can it be transparent. "Although I am very familiar with all kinds of mineral veins, I really don't know the most romantic way of oil.

Leng Feng smiled: "You don't know this? This crude oil can be divided into many kinds. Now these are the best, they don't need to be refined to use. A little refined, some are gasoline and kerosene. Crude oil is divided into black, red, and brown. The most common thing we have is black, and that's because our country's crude oil is black. I once went abroad to the Middle East and saw red oil, so I went out of my way to find information about oil. ”

There was a staircase on the other side of the fire, which stretched out to the top. We really were the way out, but now we're stuck here. I don't know where this crude oil came from, but it has been burning for so many years and has not burned out. "Look for a place to go." I said quickly.

Li Meiting said: "It would be nice if we could find the path that the dragon had walked, so that we wouldn't have to take risks." Leng Feng shook his head and said, "My good sister, we may not be able to get along where the dragon goes. It's like the hut over there, the dragon can go up at once, can we go up? What should we do if we run into a dragon that comes back? ”

Liu Qiang said suddenly: "Boss, how about we move a few dried corpses back and make a way?" So that it can pass. Ye Simin said: "Well, it's no longer a way." It's just such a big sea of fire, how many dried corpses do we need? It's a flammable thing, and if it doesn't work all the way, but it increases the fire, what do we do? ”

Wang Zongjun kicked the wall hard, and the rumbling sound spread throughout the cave. We glanced at it, and it was empty. Wang Zongjun lifted the gun with a shuttle, and Liu Qiang went up and kicked a big hole. A loud voice rang out, and we said in unison, "Underground River." ”

We entered the cave, and an underground river was flowing loudly, and the water was not very strong, but the underground river was flowing downward. We really want to go back to the ground, this river is a chicken rib, and it is a pity to eat without meat and abandon it. There are only two paths, but neither of them can be taken.

Li Hua said: "I have a way. "Oh? Everyone hurriedly looked at him and listened to him continue. But he sold it. He said slowly, "Why is there fire?" Lu Liang said: "Nonsense, of course, it's because there is crude oil." Gao Yanan's eyes lit up and said, "I understand, I know." I laughed and said, "It's so simple, we all ignored it." Haha, well, you can think of this better than us. I smiled and gave Li Hua a thumbs up.

Everyone understood, but they still did not dare to use high explosives, so we had to use hammers, chisels and gun bullets to clear the way. A small canal half a meter wide and about 10 centimeters deep was opened. Although it is shallow, there is an underground river with a drop of several meters, and we don't have to worry about it. The translucent crude oil flowed down the small ditch to the underground dark river, and the raging flames suddenly became smaller, and before we had time to be happy, a smile condensed on our faces. A spring appeared in the ground, and crude oil kept flowing out, and the flames grew again. It's just that the underground river has also become a sea of fire. The temperature rises suddenly, and the scorching air waves give us a feeling of suffocation. Gao Yanan sighed and said, "Let's go." Can't stay here. ”

We also looked at the fire in amazement, and shook our heads secretly, after spending so much effort, it still didn't succeed. Everyone was a little hungry during this busy meal, but they didn't dare to find a place to rest. After all, it is safer to be in this fire place, at least no forest snakes, crocodiles and carnivorous bats dare to come. I said, "Gao Yanan, we'll leave later, let's rest here for a while, eat something and then leave." It's so dangerous, we have to keep our bodies in the best condition at all times. I'm tired from the excavation just now, so let's take it a little slowly. "There is another sentence that I haven't said, that is, after the setback just now, the morale of everyone is low, and in this atmosphere, it is most likely to cause accidents.

After eating canned beef, it is still one vermilion fruit per person. After Sonny's incident, we see this one Zhu Guo more and more important. Hunger is just a small thing, poisoning is a big thing. It's okay to drink water for seven days when you're hungry, but if you get poisoned, you can die at any time. We sat on the ground and rested for a while, feeling that our breathing was getting harder and harder.

Ye Manqing said with a smile: "Do you feel it, now there is more and more lack of oxygen." Haha, got it? I smiled and said, "Understood." Let's go. As he spoke, he stood up and walked first. Gao Yanan said: "Professor Shui, you still don't understand, what Ye Manqing said is ......" I waved my hand and said, "You will understand when you come out." Everyone walked out of the fire in disbelief, and I closed the stone door with all my might, and said, "That's it." Everyone laughed, and the best way to stop the fire was to cut off the oxygen. Only if the oxygen content falls below 18%, the fire will automatically extinguish.

Gao Yanan said with a smile: "It's better to have a way." Saves physical strength and has less time. We just have to wait for the explosives. We all nodded, our eyes fiery as we looked at the closed door.

There was a fishy smell behind him, and everyone hurriedly turned the flashlight to shine it, and one by one the forest beetles didn't know when they came closer. Lu Liang hurriedly shouted, "Boss, has the fire been extinguished?" Let's go inside. "My heart is beating hard, but I know that I can't open the door, in case the fire hasn't been extinguished, and the door is opened and it burns again, so won't these ten minutes be in vain? After the lights are lit, it will take at least ten minutes to return to the current state, and it will take half an hour to come and go. Can we last half an hour in front of so many forest snakes?

Gao Yanan let out a peaceful breath and rushed to the forest snake first. The blade flew up and down in her hand, and the stinking blood kept falling. Now we know how high Gao Yanan's kung fu is. The huge body of the forest snake twisted and coiled, and Gao Yanan always dodged before the danger came. In a short time, more than a dozen forest worms died.

Estimating that the time was almost up, I greeted and opened the stone door. The fire has not been completely extinguished. As soon as the door opened, the fire rushed violently, but it was extinguished at once. We were overjoyed and hurriedly ran through the crude oil field. The oil field that had extinguished the fire was so slippery that everyone fell down one after another as soon as they stepped in, and they slipped to the opposite shore one by one. Everyone got up and caught fire, and saw that the forest python was struggling in the crude oil, and it couldn't pass, so everyone suddenly became interested, and they stopped to watch the forest python dance in the crude oil.

A gust of wind flashed, and a large head the size of a water tank appeared in the doorway. Ah, it's a dragon. (To be continued.) )
