Xiaopang and Jiu Ye rested on the side.

I took the opportunity to pick up the things that were scattered around. When I was pumping water, I realized that we were at the junction of an underground river and the gap between the mountains. I shone a flashlight on it, and it was about ten meters from the top of the cave.

The rocks at the top of the hill were irregular and looked solid, and I walked along the dark river for a few minutes without finding the end. I went up the current and walked for a while, but there was still no end. However, as I walked to the sides, I noticed that the stone walls on both sides were constantly retracting, and the space was becoming narrower and more depressing.

In fact, the water hole on this dark river is only about two meters wide, I can only walk forward with a cat waist after walking out for two minutes, and the water of the dark river is not very deep, and the deepest place is only to the knee.

When he came back, Jiu Ye was sitting in front of the smokeless stove and meditating, pinching his fingers with his hands, and his heart was facing the sky, looking at that posture was very much like a martial arts master who was exercising his skills to heal his wounds in martial arts novels. I knew that he was using his Dao magic powers to heal himself.

I didn't know the way to heal the wounds, and I didn't see a doorway for a long time, so I didn't want to disturb him, so I picked up the fat and ate the remaining half of the box of biscuits on the side of the smokeless stove that was lit and nibbled a little.

At this time, I saw that the little fat guy was running around with a flashlight in this triangle connected by a stone crack and a water hole, his injuries were not light, and his upper body was full of bandages, but this kid was energetic and not as tired as we imagined, looking at the beam of the flashlight in the dark cave and swaying constantly, I really admired his leisurely elegance.

I sat on the ground and rested cross-legged for a while. It's okay not to rest, but as soon as the person relaxes, he immediately becomes extremely tired, and it doesn't take long for him to feel all kinds of discomfort all over his body, and he never thinks about it when he lies on the ground.

"Hey, hey, Boss Lu, come and have a look! What do you think this is!? As if he had picked up some treasure, Chubby in the distance suddenly shouted.

"What?" I didn't take it seriously when I looked at it, I thought that this kid had picked up some gold and silver jewelry in those white bones, but I didn't think about it, and seeing that I had little interest, the little fat shook twice in my direction with a stern face: "I'm cǎo, don't sleep, look at it, there's something on this lizard's body!" ”

"Huh?!" As soon as I heard this, I quickly sat up, dragged my tired body and walked over to see the little fat squatting there and picking something

"What are you doing here?" When I got closer, I squatted down and wondered, Xiaopang heard the words and pulled hard, and then, an iron chain that could be more than a meter long and as thick as a wrist was pulled out by it. I don't know what age the chain is, it has been eroded by rust and has lost its movement, and the dark red rust is like the red dirt on the surface of the chain, which looks more like a rope.

"Look, this lizard looks like it's being tethered," Chubby said, tilting his head and taking a picture under the lizard.

Following the direction of the chain, we pushed away the huge corpse that was half lying and half lying down, and sure enough, we saw that the lizard's back was on the top of the back and suddenly "grew" a black iron ring two fingers thick. The hoop was large, a foot in diameter alone, and half of it was exposed, like an arched bridge across the back of a monitor lizard. And the end of that long arc is deeply embedded in the position of the monitor lizard's "shoulder blade", and from the outside, it looks very much like the traditional torture of "piercing the lute bone" in the past.

I dragged the chain a few times, but I didn't pull it, the age is very old, and the black iron ring has long been with the monitor lizard in front of me.

"You say, could these two big guys be raised by someone to guard the baby?" Holding a flashlight with a fluke look, Chubby said.

"It's hard to say, maybe some of the masters are afraid that they will make trouble here and imprison them here, because the old age has eroded away the chains to let them escape." Shaking my head, I said.

"That's not right, look at this chain, how young can it be to make the chain rust like this? Hasn't this thing starved to death for that long time? I think it's still the right idea I just thought, these two lizards were left by the tomb owner to guard the treasure! Chubby said, nodding preconceptibly, and seeing him like this, I smiled helplessly.

Actually, Chubby has a point, ordinary people won't raise a monster-level terrifying creature like this, and besides, even if they want to raise it, ordinary people really can't afford it. You see their size, they can eat more than lions and tigers, people in the past, the living conditions were very poor, it was good to be well fed and clothed, to raise them, even if they were given big radishes to eat every day, they could eat people against the wall, not to mention, let them be fat and strong.

From the rust of the iron chain, it is speculated that the age of this monitor lizard is definitely not small, but its age is not terrifying enough to be traced back to the height of antiquity, in the pre-Qin period, iron tools are very rare, since there is rust on the iron chain, it proves that this monster is only after the Qin and Han dynasties.

What makes people more speechless is that this chain seems to have been added later, because its material is not the same as the black ring on the back of the monitor lizard, if this idea is true, then, a qiē has become unpredictable, if nothing else, the age of the two monitor lizards is the problem.

Why are they here?

Isn't it, is it really as Chubby said, someone deliberately put them here to guard something?

Puzzled, I got up and walked over to the corpse of another monitor lizard, ran to the side to take a look, and sure enough, I found the same ring on the body of the other monitor lizard. It's just that the iron chain on this ring is shorter than the one on the body just now, I took a closer look at the break of the iron chain, and the rust in that place is indeed very high, and a comparison between the two can basically determine that these two monitor lizards broke free from the iron chain and ran out.

In that case, the question arises, where did these two guys come from?

What is certain is that they will not come in from the cracks in the rocks that we blew up, in this case, the two water holes that run through the left and right behind them have become the greatest possibility for them to come and go here, and then think about the bitter child who was just pulled away by the monitor lizard in the crack of the stone, one has to suspect that this place has some connection with an ancient tomb mound hidden deep in the depths.
