Chapter 21: The Cave

Before the snake's tail arrived, the wind came first, and at such a close distance, even if I wanted to shoot, it was too late, and when my feet moved, I dodged to the side lifelessly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only heard a muffled sound behind him, looked back, couldn't help but secretly frightened, the python's tail was pumping in the position I just was, if I didn't react fast enough, at this moment, how can I die?

The blow missed, and the python repeated its old tricks, and with a movement of its tail, it slashed at my head again. But this time I was prepared, and the moment the snake tail flew, the bullets from the submachine gun were fired, and several bullets hit the snake tail when I landed.

Under the pain of the giant python, the ferocious aura rose sharply, the head was slightly raised back, and it pounced on me, the speed was unbelievably fast, I didn't have time to dodge, and was hit by its snake head on the chest, and the whole person immediately flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

I felt like I had fallen apart from the snake's head, and it hurt even more in my chest, but fortunately the submachine gun on my chest helped me block it, otherwise I would have had to be knocked out of a hole in my chest by the snake's head.

Before I could get up from the ground, the python opened its mouth and pounced on me again. Frightened, I raised my submachine gun and stabbed it at the python's gaping mouth. All I heard was "Click! "With a crisp sound, my submachine gun was bitten by the python's mouth. Maybe the submachine gun didn't smell good, but it shook its head violently, and I was thrown out with a gun.

After flying several meters away, I fell heavily to the ground, only to feel a suffocation in my chest, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out by me. Smelling the smell of blood, the python spat out a bright red letter and swam greedily towards me. Seeing that python was getting closer and closer to me, I yelled a fucking curse, raised the submachine gun on my chest and fired at it.

The bullets flew out one after another, and most of them hit the python's head, which may have been hit in the place, and the python's whole body was rolled up in pain, making a "silky" sound. I didn't miss such a good opportunity, aimed at its head, and immediately fired dozens of more shots, until it opened its head to flower, and I stopped.

I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up from the ground, when my legs suddenly tightened, and my body was dragged backwards. I was scared half to death, and when I looked back, my heart was half cold, and it turned out that my legs were caught by the tail of a giant python.

In a panic, my hands gripped the ground wildly, hoping to grab something I borrowed and stabilize my body. But the ground was bare, and there was nothing to scratch onto, and not only that, but it also scratched my fingernails, and it hurt badly for a while.

The giant python dragged me for a distance of more than ten meters, and suddenly stopped, and before I could react, the next moment, its upper body came to me, and the snake body moved, and my whole body was entangled to death.

I felt as if I was being caught in a large circle of steel wire, and the tighter and tighter it became, so that I couldn't move at all, and even began to have difficulty breathing. When the black python saw that I couldn't struggle, its head twisted, and the huge snake head came up to me, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and swallowed it violently on the top of my head.

At that moment, my pupils contracted violently, and the fear in my heart had reached the extreme, and I knew that this time it was a catastrophe. At this moment, a green light suddenly flashed in front of me, and then the python's head suddenly paused, and it fell from its neck, and a stream of blood immediately spurted out of the wound, spraying all over my face.

I was almost paralyzed by fright, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that Wu Jian was standing coldly in front of me, holding the bronze sword in his hand, and the sword was still stained with the snake blood of a giant python. Only then did I realize that in a hurry just now, it was Wu Jian who cut off the head of the giant python and saved my life.

Although the python's head was cut off, its snake body still wrapped around my body, and it was getting tighter and tighter, and I even heard the bones in the body make a misaligned "click" sound. I only felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe, and my eyes began to darken, and I almost passed out.

Wu Jian naturally saw my dangerous situation, and with a movement of his hands, the bronze sword slashed towards the snake body on my body one after another. After slashing several swords in a row, the snake body on my body was cut off, and one by one it fell to the ground, only to feel that the pressure on my body was greatly reduced, and my whole body was completely liberated.

I took a few breaths, moved my muscles and bones, and found that my whole body hurt badly, but fortunately, the bones of my whole body were not fractured, which was a blessing in misfortune. Wu Jian saw that I was fine, and his face looked much better, but he didn't say a word, turned around with the bronze sword and ran away.

After taking a few breaths, I felt very comfortable in my lungs, and the strength in my body began to gradually recover, I saw the fierce battle between the others and the black python, and I didn't dare to delay more, so I picked up the submachine gun and ran over.

Professor Zhang and Tan Jia seemed to have been seriously injured in the course of the battle, and the corners of their mouths were overflowing with blood, and they were sitting in the corner at the moment gasping, shooting cold shots at the snakes in front of them from time to time. And Li Yishan and Biaozi were standing in front of them, waving the machetes in their hands to prevent those giant pythons from taking the opportunity to attack.

There were originally more than a dozen giant pythons, but after some fighting, now there are only six left, and they are still injured on their bodies, and their mobility is not as good as before. But we are not much better, except for Wu Jian, everyone else has suffered flesh injuries in different situations, and their bodies are blue and purple, and they look very embarrassed.

As soon as I went over to help, the pressure on the side of the mark was reduced a lot, and Wu Jian on the side seized the opportunity and cut off the head of a giant python. Seeing the death of their companions one after another, the remaining five giant pythons already had a retreat in their hearts, and they no longer dared to rush forward to attack us, but slid their bodies and slowly retreated backwards.

But it's even better that way, we have submachine guns in hand, just beat the water dogs. As the bullets continued to shoot, the last five black pythons were all wiped out by us, and at this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Biaozi said with palpitations: "Damn, it's too strange in this side hall, so many giant pythons actually appeared out of thin air, if it weren't for our sufficient weapons, I'm afraid that this time it will be destroyed." ”

Professor Zhang coughed lightly a few times, and then coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he didn't care, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to us: "The sudden appearance of these giant pythons must be related to the giant pit, I suspect that under the giant pit is the nest of the giant python, and this mechanism may be set up for them." ”

Professor Zhang's words are not unreasonable, but what we don't understand is that this is the place where the king lives, so why should such an institution be set up? And that mechanism is also amazing, not to mention the function of automatic recovery, it can actually bring the python up from the depths of the ground, which is incredible, could it be that those pythons will automatically climb up when they see the ground sinking, and then follow the mechanism up?

Just as we were analyzing these things, the whole side hall suddenly shook and made a rumbling sound, and just like last time, when the shaking stopped, the large bluestone floor in front of it began to sink downward.

Li Yishan's face couldn't help but change, and he said worriedly: "We must break this mechanism, otherwise waves of giant pythons will be brought up, and even if we don't be swallowed by them, we will have to die of exhaustion." ”

The mechanism is set up in the monster's corpse, and the only way to break the mechanism is to break the monster's stomach and destroy the mechanism inside. But Professor Zhang also said that if that mechanism was so easy to destroy, it would not be placed in such a conspicuous place waiting for others to break it. He suspected that if someone touched the monster's dried corpse, something even worse would happen.

Seeing that the floor was getting deeper and deeper, Biaozi's face turned cold, and he took out five grenades from the baggage with his backhand, turned back to us and said: "It's useless to chirp, since the bottom of that giant pit is the nest of giant pythons, it's not simple, let's throw a few grenades down, and finish them in a nest?" ”

Tan Jia said a little worriedly: "Don't be impulsive first, let's go over and see the situation." ”

When I got to the front of the huge pit, it seemed that there was no bottom below, and there was a cold air rising up, and the sign said that the snake likes yin, and it is normal for a yin to come up. turned around and asked Tan Jia: "Have you thought about it, I'm afraid that it won't be long before those giant pythons will be brought in." ”

Tan Jia thought about it for a while, and finally nodded. The standard looked overjoyed, and immediately pulled off the safety ring on the grenade, and dropped one of the grenades. I don't know if the grenade has reached the bottom, but after only about three seconds, there was a sudden loud bang from the bottom of the huge crater, and I saw a fiery red light shining up below, but it was gone in a blink of an eye.

When the ruthlessness of the mark came, he couldn't control much anymore, and while scolding the ancestors of those giant pythons, he threw the remaining four grenades down. The rumbling sounded four times in a row, and even the side hall above us trembled because of the power of the grenade.

Seeing that the sign took out a few more grenades, Professor Zhang immediately stopped him and said, "If you continue to toss like this, I'm afraid that this side hall will collapse, so let's take a look at the situation first." ”

We waited in front of the giant pit for more than ten minutes, it was very quiet inside, and the sinking floor did not rise, and the sign said proudly: "Haha, it seems that the floor was blown up by me, now it's okay, don't worry about those giant pythons climbing up." ”

Li Yishan said: "What do you have to do, although the matter of the giant python has been solved, but now we are still locked in this room, if we can't find a way to get out for a long time, I'm afraid that when we run out of food, it will be time for us to meet God." ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when I mentioned it, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a dead silence. After a long time, Tan Jia couldn't help it, so she said to Professor Zhang: "Professor, there is no better way right now, we might as well gamble once." ”

Professor Zhang pondered for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, he said, "You young people are not afraid of death, can I still be afraid of this old bone?" Let's go over and take a good look at that mechanism. ”

The monster's snake tail is coiled, giving people the feeling that a person is sitting on the body of a snake, which is indescribably weird. Since the mechanism had just been activated, the hands of the dry corpse were still in a posture of being raised, and the mark said jokingly: "Raising your hand means that the mechanism has been activated, does it mean that the mechanism will be restored if you put your hand down?" ”

Li Yishan sighed and said: "Don't be whimsical about you, kid, if it's really that simple, this organ is really an ornament, what's the point of putting it here?" ”

Biaozi thought that his guess might be right, in order to convince everyone, he went to move the hands of the dry corpse, who knew that he just pressed down a little hard, and with a soft "Gaba" sound, the two arms were broken from the middle. Biao Zi laughed dryly, saying that it was an accident, but as if he had found something in the severed hand of the dry corpse, he turned back to us and exclaimed, "You all come and see, there seems to be a copper wire in this arm." ”

We looked closely, and the mark was right, there was indeed a very thin copper wire hidden in the two severed hands of the dry corpse, and if we didn't pay attention to it, we wouldn't be able to find it. One end of the copper wire was tied to the bone of the hand, and the other end went through the shoulder, leading into the chest cavity of the dried corpse.

The mark grabbed the copper wire and lifted it gently, turned back to us and said, "It seems that the other end of the copper wire is tied to something, and there is a heavy feeling when you pull it up, could it be the mechanism you said?" ”

Wu Jian nodded, and he said: "It should be like that, this copper wire is tied to the hand bones of the dried corpse, just to control the corpse's arm to make various postures and achieve the effect of activating the mechanism." ”

Wu Jian said and took out a military dagger, gestured on the stomach of the dried corpse, and stabbed it in, but the stab was not very deep, and it was probably afraid of destroying the mechanism inside. Wu Jian gently pulled the dagger down, trying to break open the stomach of the dried corpse, but the knife seemed to hit something hard halfway through, making a crisp sound.

We were all stunned for a moment, and an uneasy look appeared on our faces, and at this moment, the entire stone bed shook violently, and Wu Jian was the first to react and exclaimed: "It must have triggered the mechanism, everyone hurry up and leave this stone bed!" ”

We jumped off the stone bed almost without thinking, and when we looked back, we didn't know what the dagger had touched, and the whole stone bed was shaking violently. After a while, the stone bed finally stopped shaking, but to our surprise, the stone bed seemed to start sinking into the ground like the python's mechanism.

Professor Zhang was shocked and shouted, "We can't let that dry corpse sink with us, otherwise we won't be able to get out of here." ”

We reacted at once, and rushed out almost like arrows, but the stone bed was sinking so fast that by the time we rushed over, the stone bed had sunk to a depth of more than four meters underground, revealing a deep pit the same size as the stone bed. The stone bed was still sinking, and soon disappeared from our eyes, and at the same time, a huge stone slab rose from the deep pit, blocking the place where the stone bed had disappeared.

We were stunned, and the entire side hall began to tremble without warning as if there had been an earthquake, and Professor Zhang exclaimed: "It must be the self-destruction mechanism activated, I'm afraid this room is about to be destroyed." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, we saw countless cracks appear in the walls of the side hall, and the cracks expanded sharply, and soon became the thickness of a finger. Immediately afterwards, the stone pillars in the side hall began to fall down one by one, making a loud rumbling sound.

Although we knew that this time it must be more than lucky, but out of the instinct for survival, we still dodged again and again, not wanting to be crushed by those stone pillars. As the vibration of the side hall became more and more severe, a large area of the roof began to collapse, and large and small stones fell down one by one.

At this critical moment, a stone pillar next to it suddenly fell, but to our surprise, it just hit the wall of the side hall, knocking out a gap the size of a water tank. Biaozi shouted: "Move smartly, quickly climb out of that gap, this is our last chance." ”

While dodging the stones falling from the top of our heads, we ran towards the gap, and the mark and Wu Jian were the fastest, and they had already crawled out of the gap. By the time I reached the opening, the whole side hall was crumbling, and some of the walls had collapsed entirely.

I hurriedly climbed out of the gap, and when I got outside, I saw that there was a huge cave. The cave is at least five meters wide and more than seven meters high, but I don't know how deep it is, because the flashlight outside shines through, and there is no end in sight.

The side hall behind us was still collapsing, and the rumbling sound was incessant, and soon, the gap we had come out of was completely blocked. Professor Zhang said helplessly: "I don't know where this cave leads, but now that our retreat is blocked, there is no other choice but to go to the depths of the cave, I hope there will be other exits inside." ”

Wu Jian's eyes stared at the depths of the cave, and after a long time, he turned back to us and said, "The Yin Qi in this cave is very heavy, and it is almost catching up with the Yin Array we encountered in the tomb of the Headless King, and there may be danger inside." ”

Biaozi said indifferently: "Anyway, it's a dead end now, no matter how dangerous Lao Tzu is, I'm out of the way, but I'm very curious, why is such a cave hidden behind the side hall?" Is this a fucking treasure cave? As soon as he thought of this, he became excited, and even the current situation was left behind. (To be continued.)
