Chapter 96: Snakes
A thousand square meters of underground space appeared outside the cave entrance, and in these underground spaces, it was all filled by a layer of strange fluorescent trees.
Zuo Zhicheng and the others just saw the fluorescence coming from the entrance of the cave, which was scattered from these trees.
"It's psionic food!" Qingyueqiu looked at the woods in front of him, pointed to the fruits on the trees and said, "That's a lot...... There's so much psionic food, and there's so much of it here. ”
"I'm afraid it's more than just psionic food." Zuo Zhicheng jumped out of the cave and landed steadily in the underground space. He put the person down, and under the fluorescent light, although the surroundings were a little dim, ordinary eyes could also see things.
Zuo Zhicheng pointed to the location on the branch and said, "It seems that this is where they store food." I saw that above the branches, there were countless corpses wrapped in vines: "No wonder your first two teams of men and horses disappeared, they may have directly broken into someone else's base camp." ”
Zuo Zhicheng looked around again, at the edge of the underground space, not only the hole they ran out of, but also on the rock wall around them, there were more than 20 holes, large and small, and countless vines grew out along these holes, like spider webs covering the entire underground space.
While Zuo Zhicheng was observing, Tang Xianghui let out a burst of exclamation and ran under a tree.
"It's Ah Wei!"
I saw that on a tree, Ah Wei, Liu Changding and others were wrapped in vines and were hanging from the tree. Tang Yuan held a machete and climbed the tree, but Ah Wei and the others did not react, Tang Yuan put down several people one by one, only to realize that Ah Wei and the other person's stomachs had been scratched and had already been dead for a long time.
On the other hand, although Liu Changding was in a coma, his face was ruddy, his breathing was normal and he did not die.
Tang Yuan said fiercely: "These monsters! ”
Zuo Zhicheng has no interest in sighing, dead people, dead teammates, dead friends, this kind of thing is normal for him. There may be the strongest people in this world, but there is absolutely no invincible person. Human beings are fragile creatures, and any slightest mistake will lead to death, not to mention Ah Wei, they are still far from being truly powerful.
He wiped the dust and branches from the ground, revealing bricks and some broken carvings.
Looking at the few people who were still squatting beside Ah Wei sadly, Zuo Zhicheng said: "Now is not the time to be sad, the underground passages here extend in all directions, I just got rid of them temporarily, those monsters will find here soon, we have to find a way." ”
"So what do we do?" Qingyueqiu, whose complexion had always remained cold, couldn't help but show a flustered look at this time.
"Do you have a way to wake up Liu Changding? I see traces of artificial construction here, maybe he can find some thread. ”
Qingyueqiu nodded, and took out a few small bottles of potion from his arms: "I have the antidote here, Mr. Liu should have been pierced by the small thorns on these vines, and then fell into a coma." ”
Apparently the corpses here were all caught by the monsters and tied up in the trees, and then starved to death or killed halfway up. They seem to be storing food here.
"Then wake him up." Zuo Zhicheng said that he had already jumped on the branch in a few steps: "I'll go and see what else is out near here." ”
After Zuo Zhicheng finished saying this, he had already changed the mode and adjusted the night vision eye to the infrared line of sight, and under the sweeping of the infrared line of sight, he immediately saw a difference.
All the wrapped people or animals, they are dead, and there is hardly any heat visible on them, but there is a faint human form, which appears underground.
"Someone underground? Don't ......" Zuo Zhicheng thought about it for a while and understood: "There is a mezzanine underground, or a secret room." ”
However, this is not the most attractive to Zuo Zhicheng, what he paid the most attention to was a little firelight, in Zuo Zhicheng's infrared vision, there was a purple fire burning, like the sun in the sky, giving people a feeling of shining on the earth and never extinguishing.
After scanning all directions, and there was no new appearance, Zuo Zhicheng switched to night vision mode again, and then jumped between tree trunks, his fast and light, like an ape in the jungle, moving quickly in the jungle.
Soon, he knew what the red-purple fire that had appeared in the infrared line of sight was what it was.
Standing on the branch, Zuo Zhicheng looked at the behemoth in front of him and took a breath of surprise.
It was a black giant snake curled together like a small mountain bag, the black snakes were curled together, and I don't know how long, but Zuo Zhicheng could clearly see that the diameter of the other party's snake body had reached about 2 or 3 meters.
There was even a piece of black scale armor the size of a skull on the snake's body, seeing these scales, Zuo Zhicheng suddenly remembered the shipwreck he encountered when he first came to that world, and it seemed that he had seen similar scales at that time, but they were several times larger than this.
Is there any relationship between the two? However, Zuo Zhicheng only thought about it a little and jumped over. Although the giant snake in front of him was lying there as if it was dead, the purple flame in the infrared vision told him that the other party was clearly not dead, but concentrated the heat of his whole body on the snake's head.
Zuo Zhicheng thought of the season now: 'Hibernation? He didn't know if such a big snake needed to hibernate or not, but he was careful to retreat little by little.
Is it because you've been eating psionic food here?' That's why he has such a purple innate qi. Although Zuo Zhicheng is also purple, but with the same muscles, the number of the other party is indeed several times his, whether it is strength or explosive power, it is not comparable to Zuo Zhicheng.
Quickly retreated, Zuo Zhicheng ran in the direction of Qingyueqiu and the others, and he suddenly figured out a question.
'The monsters, who tied their prey here, were preparing the snake for food after waking up from hibernation. It seems that the fruit of spiritual energy still can't counteract the beast's instinct for meat. ’
After Zuo Zhicheng snake hibernates, it will be in a very hungry state, obviously the meat in the woods is prepared for him.
'Gotta get out of here quickly, it's dangerous. Once those monsters find us, even wake up the snake. ’
When Zuo Zhicheng rushed back to Qingyueqiu and them, Liu Changding had already woken up.
"I don't know." He touched his head and looked afraid: "I just fainted suddenly, and I will be here when I wake up." ”
Qingyueqiu frowned and said, "The spikes of the vines have an anesthetic effect, you should have been hit." It seems that the people in the camp before were also arrested after being anesthetized. ”
"There's no time to look into this." Zuo Zhicheng told everyone about the big snake and the holes around the underground space.
"Orochi, monster?" Liu Changding patted his head and said, "I think of something, what you see may be the Pluto snake." ”
"Pluto? What's that? Zuo Zhicheng said.
"It is a kind of protector beast worshipped by Amalikhen, and it is said that they can travel through the yin and yang worlds and manipulate the netherworld. At that time, people often used living people to worship Hades. Liu Changding said: "It is to throw the boy and girl, or the young girl, into the hole where the Hades snake inhabits." The serpent would devour them alive and then fight for the Amalikens in times of need.
And then there are the weirdos, who are supposed to be the corpses manipulated by the Hades Serpent, whom the Amalikens call the Corpse Men. ”
It is supposed to be a primitive worship of the mighty beasts of the ancients. However, this giant snake does seem to have some connection with those corpses, and most of the rumors of the so-called manipulation of the underworld come from this. ’
However, how the Divine Beast that protected the country thousands of years ago survived to the present day is no longer known, Zuo Zhicheng just asked Liu Changding again: "I can feel that there should be another layer under our underground space, can you find a way?" ”
