Twenty-fourth hundred-legged dragon god
After Chen Pi's iron bullet flew by, the flickering flames instantly dimmed again, and the shadows of the people over there returned to blur, and they couldn't see anything clearly all of a sudden. The iron marble finally didn't know where it hit, it made a crisp sound, rolled to the ground, and the sound echoed in the empty spirit palace, giving people goosebumps.
The moment the fire flashed, everyone was startled by this shadow, and Junko was even more panicked, and shouted softly in fright: "What is this!" ”
Monk Hua immediately covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing to speak, and several people's hands subconsciously pressed on their knives.
Chen Pi Ah Si waved his hand to us not to be so nervous, and then gave Monk Hua a look, who immediately jumped on the lamp slave on the side in a few steps and extinguished the fire with one hand.
I have to admire Chen Pi's calmness, in such a weird environment, no one would think of extinguishing the light source around them, they all hope that the brighter they are around, the better, but in fact, this situation is the safest in the dark.
As soon as the lamp slave went out, the surroundings suddenly darkened again, and the darkness like a thick fog surrounded us at once, but the lamp slave on the other side appeared brighter.
We extinguished our flashlights and held our breath together, looking at the shadows over there. The darkness around me suddenly stimulated my nerves, and I felt my heart beating very hard.
The shadow was clearly a human being, most of his body was still hidden in the darkness, and what made people feel very strange was his strange long neck, and some unspeakable things on his body that seemed to be thorns or tentacles, and it didn't look like a human being. Rather, it's a... A bird.
I instinctively felt a chill in my heart, except for the stuffy oil bottle, everyone else was around. This shadow certainly isn't a stuffy oil bottle, could it be that there are other people here?
So who is he? How could it appear in the Spirit Palace on the top of the snowy mountain? Could it be that the avalanche here just now attracted the attention of the border guards, and this person is the People's Liberation Army exploring the way?
No, not to mention that the avalanche happened in the valley, even if it was really discovered, it would take at least a day to rush over, and it would not arrive so quickly.
It suddenly occurred to me that this Spirit Palace was a trap set by Wang Zanghai, and since it was a trap, it must be extremely sinister. The person who fell into the trap would never have imagined what was waiting for him in the trap, could this shadow be the monster arranged here when Wang Zanghai set up this trap?
We didn't dare to come out, staring at the shadow, hoping to deduce anything from its movements and shapes. At the very least, we can tell if it's a human or something else.
But the strange thing is that the shadow also stood there straight, like a clay sculpture, not even shaking. It doesn't seem to be a living creature at all.
After waiting for a while, neither side moved, and the fat man began to lose his breath, and said softly, "Something is wrong." If it's a living thing, he has to move, this thing doesn't move, are we dazzled, it's the shadow of those lamp slaves printed on the pillars? ”
Ye Chengdao: "Nonsense, aren't the lamp slaves all standing on the side?" How could he get this way on his own? ”
The fat man said softly: "Didn't you say that the aura of heaven and earth, and the pipa can become jīng?" Maybe the stone lamp slave here will become jīng, and he will be able to move around on his own. ”
I told him that I was uncomfortable, and I didn't have the extra wisdom to judge what the fat man said, and I didn't even believe zongzi a few months ago. Now the zongzi I've seen can be rubbed on two tables of mahjong, to say whether there are monsters, I really don't dare to judge. But the fat man said that this stone lamp slave became jīng, I feel more of a joke, the more the fat man speaks when he is in danger, the more unreliable he is, which is also very related to his xìng grid.
But the fat man is right about one thing, as long as it is a living object, he must move, even if it is a zongzi, he can't stand there like a stone, this shadow is motionless, it is too strange.
No matter what it is, we can't keep it here, although I can't see it, but I know that there are 'wall strings' crawling all around here, and if someone is bitten again, although it is not fatal, but the lack of clothing and medicine on the snowy mountains is also a fatal thing.
We whispered together, several people basically thought the same as me, and the fat man said in a very low voice: "Then let's not admire its figure here, sneak over and take a look, if it's really a person, fucking press it down and beat it!" ”
A few people agreed, I felt a flash of wind around me, I was anxious to touch it, it was pitch black and there was no way to arrange a formation or anything, I stubbornly went towards the only firelight.
The lamp slave was not very far away from us, and the shadow became clearer and clearer after a few steps, and I looked more and more strange, unconsciously, a sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, and when I almost approached the area where the light could shine, I subconsciously slowed down, ambushed in the dark, and slowly leaned over gently.
The black shadow was almost ten steps away from me, and I squinted at him, little by little, my heart beat faster and faster, and cold sweat began to break out non-stop, praying that God wouldn't let me see what I didn't want to see.
However, as I got closer and closer, I gradually realized that God might not bless us grave robbers, and the thing in front of me became clearer and clearer, and suddenly I couldn't even move my steps, I only felt weak, and finally I was frozen there and could not move.
I can't even describe what I saw, it was a huge 'worm' shape, but I don't know if it was because it was too big, I knew that the largest worm could grow more than a meter, but this one was obviously bigger, the worm raised half of its body like a snake, wrapped around a lamp slave. We see that the neck is actually just a shadow formed by its two large poisonous jaws and long tentacles. Countless long feet hung down, and the whole giant insect remained motionless, as if it was sucking in the gas that had evaporated from the lamp oil.
In the centipede family, the Caribbean Galapagos centipede can grow to 40~60cm, but it has not been found to be more than one meter long.
There were several moans all around, and I even heard the fat man say very softly: "Your uncle's!" "Apparently a few other people who touched it also saw it, and began to disbelieve their eyes, I thought of the black sè giant tomb sealing stone engraved with a centipede dragon that we saw on the way, and suddenly understood why the dragon of the Dongxia people would have a thousand feet of a centipede!
It seems that after they retreated into the mountains, they saw such a huge worm and deified it into the incarnation of a dragon.
In the midst of my confusion, I heard a few whistles that meant, "Go back!" At the time, I didn't know who said this, so I unconsciously stepped back. I kept retreating, and I didn't know where I had retreated, and when I looked around, it was pitch black.
It turned out that after Monk Hua extinguished the lamp slaves on our side, we had no goal of retreating, and when we retreated, we were all scattered.
I turned on the flashlight again, thinking of lighting a lamp slave to attract their attention, but I saw the shadow of the giant worm not far away swaying, and the lamp slave next to it went out at once, and the giant worm disappeared into the darkness all of a sudden.
I suddenly remembered what Shunzi said that the worm has a hot habit, and I suddenly felt bad, and at the same time, far away, Monk Hua started a cold firework and shouted: "Everyone, don't light the lamp, everyone looks at my cold fireworks and gathers here." ”
Secretly I heard the sound of many feet crawling on the floor, so fast that I couldn't tell where it was crawling when I heard it. Anyway, the sound is getting louder and louder, so hurry up and run.
In the confusion, I heard the fat man shouting in the other direction, "Why don't you order?" Tap this thing and drag the big bug for a while. Didn't click on it and went straight to us? It has so many feet that we can't outrun it. ”
Monk Hua said: "No! I smelled the lamp oil, and there was insect jade in it, and as soon as the smell came out, more of this kind of thing would crawl out, and it would be more troublesome when the time came. He paused, apparently not knowing what to call the giant grasshopper.
As soon as I heard that there might be more than this, my heart immediately became furious, and while running towards the cold fireworks of Monk Hua, I also shouted: "Then what should we do with this one?" ”
Monk Hua said: "I have my own way when I get there, be careful behind me, this insect crawls very fast!" ”
Soon I rushed to Monk Hua's side according to the cold fireworks, and suddenly there were many flashlights around me, and several people rushed out of the darkness, and we ran out of breath, and we couldn't even speak. The fat man covered his chest while looking at the darkness around him, and asked Monk Hua: "Okay, it's here, what's the way, say it quickly!" That's coming over soon. ”
As he spoke, he listened to the cramping sound of crawling, but this time, the sound disappeared, and it seemed that the big worm did not follow, but stopped.
Monk Hua was also panting very much, and patted his backpack while coughing. "Actually, it's not a special method, we still have explosives, blow it up." ”
When the fat man heard this, he laughed and said, "Well, this glorious task will be handed over to you." Go ahead, I'll take care of the old man for you. ”
Monk Hua said: "You don't need me to go, I have already settled, and naturally someone will go." ”
I suddenly felt a chill on his face, and at the same time realized something, and when I turned my head, I said, "What about Lang Feng?" ”
Monk Hua didn't speak, just looked at the darkness on the side and said, "Get ready." It's coming. ”
Before the words fell, there was a loud "boom", and a dazzling fire suddenly flashed in the darkness on one side, and we all fell to the ground in reverse, and suddenly a large amount of wood debris rained down on our heads, and the whole floor shook wildly, and the wooden planks bounced up and almost hit my nose, the shock wave was not big, but the sound was very loud. My eardrums screamed, and I couldn't hear anything clearly for a while.
I looked up at the direction of the explosion, and saw that a large crater had been blown out of the floor, and the edges had been burned, and the entire head of the huge 'Thousand-legged Dragon' had been blown to pieces, and it was still writhing, and the place of the explosion was actually the place where we had just placed Lang Feng.
I immediately understood what Monk Hua had done. It's no wonder that the "thousand-legged dragonfly" just now didn't chase us, it was lured to Lang Feng, who was unconscious on one side, and Monk Hua pressed explosives on his body.
I couldn't believe my eyes, I turned my head to look at Monk Hua and Chen Pi Ah Si, several of them were expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Seeing my expression, Chen Pi Ah Si patted me and whispered to me: "Go three before and go four later, didn't your grandfather teach you?" If it were me, they would do the same to me, and in this line of work, you have to have this kind of awareness. ”
Walking three times before and four years after walking is the native language of Tufuzi. It means to do something, to think about three steps before doing it, and four steps to think about after doing it. Tufuzi is underground, and every thing that moves is life-threatening, so before you do anything, you must consider what will happen in the last three steps and how to deal with it, if you find that you can't solve it, you can't do it. And such considerations must be habitual.
The purpose of Chen Pi Ah Si's words, I also understand that in fact, in a situation like Lang Feng, the chance of him getting out alive with us is very slim. What he meant was that sooner or later he would die, so it was better to let him die happily.
My grandfather also mentioned it in his notes. When you're underground, sometimes it's too late by the time you realize the danger, so think about it before it happens. Tomb robbery is a meticulous job, and it requires courage, I don't know how many half-tones of the ancient tomb as soon as the brain is hot, and it directly becomes a burial.
But having said that, Lang Feng died like this, which was so wronged that I suddenly felt scared even standing on the side of Chen Pi Ah Si.
Unfortunately, I couldn't express my feelings at this time, so I had to take a deep breath and try to pretend that nothing happened.
The fire in front of it gradually extinguished, and the wooden planks here had been frozen for many years, and the void was full of ice particles that had accumulated moisture in the air, and the more they burned, the more they could not burn.
A few of us walked towards the crater that had been blown out of the floor, and my steps were very heavy, and I was afraid that I would suddenly see some of Langfeng's limbs. The fat man and Panzi didn't have a big reaction, and they seemed to be used to this kind of thing, or rather, they probably thought it was useless to show their depression. The fat man saw that I was a little unrelieved, and patted me, and said softly: "Forget it, anyway, it's their people, maybe they still have a human life debt on their hands, and they will have to pay it back when they come out." ”
Junko didn't understand what was going on, and followed us almost a little stupidly in fright.
Walking to the hole in the floor that had been blown out, he shone a flashlight downward, and the bricks under the wooden floor were blown out of a large hole, and the porch reinforced with black stone strips in the ground was also blown up, revealing a gap, and the bottom was empty.
I know what the place is underneath, because this part of the spiritual palace is built on a steep slope, but the floor is flat, and there must be a triangular space supported by beams and columns underneath, and all the buildings built on the steep slope or cliff, such as the Potala Palace, are such a structure.
There was a cold wind blowing out of the gap, obviously connected to the outside world, and I recalled that the triangular space below was also surrounded by a wall of white pulp, I don't know what it was, but there was a wind blowing out, and it seemed that it could go out from here.
There was obviously something wrong around here, the ground was covered with worms, and if we insisted on going out through the main entrance, I was afraid that it would be more and more dangerous, and at this point a pothole was blown out, just enough for us to get out.
The fat man jumped into the pit that was blown out, and the hole below could not accommodate a person to pass through, so he had to dig a big one, and Monk Hua also jumped in to help. The fat man asked me, is it okay to dig like this?
I asked them not to mess around, the stone corridor in winter was already frozen and brittle, the explosion just now must have completely destroyed the pressure-bearing structure below, I don't know how high it is below, in case it suddenly collapses, not one or two people, it is very likely that the entire ground near here will be sunken, and then the Spirit Palace will become our fiefdom.
So we tied a rope around the waist of the fat man and monk Hua, and tied the other end to a huge pillar on one side, and we all buckled the buckles to the rope, so that in the event of a collapse, we could take care of each other.
Ready, the fat man began to smash the stone slab below with a hammer, but he didn't expect to smash it, and suddenly a 'click' sound came from under his feet, and the beam with a thick bowl mouth below actually stepped on one for him, and suddenly his foot fell down, until it reached the root of his thigh.
I was startled, and thought it would collapse, but fortunately my foot sank, and the fat man cursed a very ugly foul language, while trying to pull my foot out.
After pulling for a long time, his feet reached his knees but he couldn't pull them out, and the fat man himself was a little strange, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted: "It's not good, something is pulling my feet!" So saying, the man went straight down.
Monk Hua hurriedly went down and grabbed his two hands and pulled them up hard, and the others rushed over to help and pulled out his feet, but they couldn't pull him to the top of the brick pit, as if something below really grabbed him.
Ye Cheng turned on the flashlight and shone it down, and everyone immediately took a breath of cool air. I saw that from the hole in the stone corridor where the fat man stepped on, a bruised dry hand stretched out and grabbed the fat man's ankle.
