I thought about what happened last time, and then explained: "That's because we were too careless last time, and the other party took the first step to control the mind with their eyes, so we felt that it was difficult to deal with. ”

Biaozi sighed and said to me with some disappointment: "Brother, if you think about the situation carefully, even if we really shot at the first time, can we kill that snake man?" ”

As soon as my heart moved, something from the depths of my memory immediately came to mind, and quickly formed a clear picture. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On that trip to the Xinjiang desert, we stumbled upon a haunted house and found a strange wooden box in the basement of the house. Unexpectedly, the wooden box not only contained countless burial goods, but also a snake man, which was the first time we had seen such a terrible creature as a snake man.

The most incredible thing is that the snake man not only looks strange, but also has a magical power of demagogy in his eyes, without any defense, the mark is the first to hit, followed by me, and finally Li Yishan.

The situation at that time was extremely dangerous, and if it weren't for the miraculous effect of the child's blood in my body, which restrained the demagogic power of the snake man, the lives of the three of us would definitely have to be accounted for there.

The existence of the child's blood not only freed me from the control of the snake man, but also allowed me to easily kill him with a dagger, thus avoiding a catastrophe. But the strange thing is that not long after the snake man died, all the flesh and blood on his body disappeared, leaving only one corpse, including the treasure hunters he killed.

Recalling this, if I still didn't understand the meaning of the slogan, it would really be a brain short-circuit, so my expression began to become cautious, and said: "In comparison, the snake people this time are indeed different, I feel that they are not like dead things after the corpse transformation, but more like living things." ”

Biaozi nodded and said, "Yes, I remember when you killed that snake man with a dagger, not only did not there be a trace of blood from his wound, but there was no other liquid, and it felt like a mummy." ”

Speaking of this, Biaozi raised his eyes and looked in the direction outside the grotto, and said a little strangely: "But the snake people killed this time, they will not only bleed, but also run away because they are afraid, and they feel more like real living creatures." ”

My heart trembled, and I couldn't believe it, "Are they really living snake people?" ”

"How is this possible!" Except for me and Biaozi, everyone else had expressions of disbelief.

I thought about it, and I thought it was unlikely, so I questioned it again, and said: "According to the information we have now, the lifespan of the orcs is three or four hundred years at most, but the problem now is, if these snake people are alive, then it means that they have lived for at least three thousand years, how is this—how is this possible?" ”

Qin Kunlun also agreed with my point of view, he said: "In other words, even if the snake people live for thousands of years, they can survive well here, but why don't they go to the outside world, but stay here all the time?" It simply doesn't make sense. ”

Biaozi thought for a moment and guessed: "Is there such a possibility, there may be some unknown mysterious power in this grotto, so that anything that lives here can have a very long lifespan, but the only drawback is that you can't leave here, otherwise you will die immediately." ”

Tan Jia seemed to agree with this point of view, she nodded and said: "I think this possibility may really exist-" Speaking of this, Tan Jia turned his eyes to me and Biaozi, and continued: "―Do you remember those strange birds in Heizhugou, they have existed in Heizhugou for many years, but they have never been discovered by the locals, afterwards, Professor Zhang and I discussed for a long time, and finally agreed that maybe it is related to those miasma in Heizhugou?" ”

I immediately understood what Tan Jia meant, and couldn't help but say: "You mean, those strange birds can only survive in places full of miasma, and if they get out of this range, they can't survive, and at the same time, it is precisely because of the shelter of those miasma and the fact that no one dares to easily step into the depths of Heizhugou, so the locals don't know about the existence of those strange birds at all?" ”

Tan Jia nodded thoughtfully, and she said, "At present, only this explanation has been said in the past, and I think it is very likely that something similar happened to the snake people here." ”

I thought about the environmental factors in the black bamboo ditch, and found that the strange birds really made some sense, and at the same time, I also thought that maybe it was because of living in the miasma for a long time, so those strange birds not only grew strangely big, but also grew two heads, which is equivalent to a genetic mutation.

Li Gaoge did not agree with our point of view, he raised new doubts, and said: "One yard is one yard, even if what you said in Heizhugou is right, but what is the situation here, you have also seen it, there are no special environmental factors at all, to put it bluntly, it is an ordinary stone cave, since this is the case, why does it produce the power of immortality?" ”

We were all stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what he said made a lot of sense, in fact, we had already walked through the entire grotto, but we really didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so we couldn't refute his words.

Biaozi looked at Li Gao with strange eyes, as if he knew each other for the first time, and he said with a little surprise: "I don't see it, Lao Li, you are still a master of logical thinking!" So in your opinion, how do we understand this situation now? ”

Li Gao frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "My opinion is actually very simple, the early snake people may have adapted to the underground environment, so they have bred from generation to generation, and these snake people we see are actually just the descendants of the ancient snake people, what do you think?" ”

Everyone was moved, and even made a surprised "hiss" sound in their mouths, because his explanation was indeed very simple, but because of this, we ignored the past.

I can't help but be impressed by Li Gao, his explanation seems simple, but it is extremely reasonable, and only in this way can everything be fully explained.

Biaozi immediately clapped his hands and praised: "The road is simple, it's really true, Brother Li is really high!" ”

Qin Kunlun poured a basin of cold water down, and he said, "It's still the same question as before, since they can survive in such harsh conditions, why haven't they left here all the time?" ”

I thought for a while and said: "The reason is very simple, the tomb has been closed before this, even if they want to get out, they can't do it at all, but they have survived here by ghost, so it has caused today's strange situation." ”

Qin Kunlun still disagreed, he said: "Even if what you said is right, but from ancient times to the present, there have been three groups of people who have successfully broken in, that is to say, this tomb is no longer closed, in this case, why did the snake people choose to stay here?" ”

I suddenly found that Qin Kunlun really had a lot of questions, and just after answering one, the next question came one after another, which was really a bit painful, in fact, to put it bluntly, I was stumped by this question, at least temporarily.

Seeing that I had no follow-up, the mark couldn't help but be a little anxious, and even secretly squeezed his eyebrows at me, signaling me to quickly refute it, I can't lose the face of our duo, but the answer is not something you want to have right away, so I just pretended not to see it, but my face burned hotly.

Seeing that I had been bowing my head and pondering, Tan Jia stood up in a timely manner to relieve the siege for me, and she analyzed: "The first batch of intruders in this mausoleum is Huo Quai's group, and there is an interval of almost two thousand years between the time when the ancient snake people were imprisoned. I was thinking, after two thousand years of reproduction, maybe the descendants of the snake people have become accustomed to the living conditions here, on the contrary, they can no longer adapt to the outside environment, so they can only choose to stay here as a last resort. ”

Biaozi immediately slapped his thigh excitedly and said: "That's right, it's cold and snowy outside, and the ancient snake people may not be afraid, but the snake people who have been living near the volcanic magma are estimated to freeze into snake sticks as soon as they leave this place, so they can only cower here." ”

Qin Kunlun pondered for a moment, and seemed to approve of this explanation, but he still said with some unease: "This explanation is reasonable, but I always feel that things are not as simple as we imagined, maybe I think too much." ”

Biaozi smiled: "Of course you think too much, seeing that you forced my old Yang, I don't dare to speak." ”

I don't know why, although it seems that all the doubts have been solved, but I really fell for Qin Kunlun's words, I have a vague feeling in my mind at the moment, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, do I also think too much?

After thinking for a while, my heart suddenly moved, and I suddenly understood where the wrong thing in my heart came from, and my face suddenly became unsightly, so I said to the standard: "The old man's words are reasonable, but we are thinking about this matter too simply. ”

Qin Kunlun glanced at me with some surprise, probably not understanding why I suddenly spoke for him again, so he said with some confusion: "Xiao Yang, have you thought of the crux of the problem?" ”

Biaozi felt a little inexplicable, so he said: "Lao Yang, which tendon is wrong with you?" ”

I sighed softly, and although I hesitated a little in my heart, I finally said the fact that everyone was unwilling to accept, and I said earnestly: "Brother, let me ask you, we have met so many snake people here, but have you ever seen a male snake man?" ”
