At first glance, it looks like an authentic antiquity, and it does not look like a fake on the market.

The general tripod body has only two lifting ears, but the design of this tripod is six lifting ears, which is already extraordinary from the shape alone.

Zhu Beichen tapped Gu Ding with a tight heart, the dull sound of Ding was suppressed, and another piece of patina fell to the ground.

Swimming around the tripod body, on the moonlit side, he finally saw the carvings on the ancient tripod, which was a lively little snake, and a large number of snakes were mixed with the tripod body, which made people feel suffocated at a glance.

In addition to snakes, it is still snakes, and it seems that this statue is the home of snakes, a resting place, and no other species are allowed to set foot in it.

On closer inspection, the carved snakes on top of the tripod have a common feature, they all have their eyes closed.

The carving technique is very unique, it seems to deliberately reflect the facial expressions of the snakes, the cold color of the snake's head, and the body and tail are coiled with other snakes, and they cannot distinguish each other.

Looking at its appearance and demeanor, it is completely printed in the same mold.

Multiple births? Zhu Beichen himself came up with an absurd and uninhibited idea, the use of the tripod in ancient times was a cooking utensil, and the tripod body was depicted in the shape of a snake, could it be said that it was a special prop for cooking snakes?

No, I must have thought wrong. Snake eating is a rare behavior, and even in the wild northwest region, it is impossible to eat snakes.

Could it be a totemic worship symbol? He approached the moments, observed the swarms of snakes, and found another point.

The snakes all had a crack of uniform size in their abdomen, and Zhu Beichen immediately woke up for the most part, they were not the body of the snake, but the snake skin that had been molted one by one.

Why is there so many snake skins carved on the tripod's body, according to the size and shape of the snake skin, are many snake skins the product of the same snake after molting?

Snake molting is a normal physiological phenomenon, generally every two or three months, the snake becomes one point longer. Snakes go through molting many times throughout their lives.

The problem is that the number of snake skins on Ding's body is probably hundreds or thousands, if it is said that they are all shed by the same snake. So, how many years does this snake live, and how long did it live to shed so much snake skin?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his scalp tingle, thinking that this mouth was too strange, and if he was warned, Zhu Beichen always felt that there was always something lurking under the floating ding and this river layer waiting.

Fearful of creeping in, he turned his head and wanted to swim back.

It was at this moment that small pointed heads poked out of the dark river.

At first glance, his face turned pale, the surface of the water body was densely covered with snakes, and the sword-like eyes stared at him silently in the moonlight.

The river was full of the disgusting creatures, and the sound of "Sisi" spitting out letters was particularly harsh, and her curly body was half exposed to the air and half hidden deep under the water layer.

The snake is as thick as an adult man's thighs, and it is probably not a problem to swallow a domestic animal with its upper and lower jaws open.

Zhu Beichen was dumbfounded, and his feet and legs cramped uncontrollably. He hinted that he must be calm, took a deep breath of oxygen and plunged headlong into the river, swinging his arms vigorously to swim into the deep water.

When he first arrived in this secret place, he noticed the phenomenon of high oxygen content in the air, and judged that the creatures that grew here must have a large size.

I didn't see any creatures during the day, and the fish I caught were large, but they didn't meet the standards of large creatures. At night, the only time I met the creatures here, I was really frightened by the number of people and reminders of the other party.

Now, Zhu Beichen's mind is in a mess, all kinds of chaotic thoughts are mixed, he just wants to leave this water area as soon as possible and swim to the shore to be safe.

After diving more than ten meters below the surface of the water, he didn't notice whether the group of snakes were coming, and he calculated the general direction when he came with his memory, and swam over lifelessly.

During this period, the root of his left foot seemed to be coiled by a rope, and his feet fluttered and kicked, but he couldn't kick the snake out. The heart let the snake coil and continued to swim past.

After swimming a long distance in one breath, Zhu Beichen dared to surface, less than ten meters from the shore at this time. Turning around, he saw that the group of demonic giant snakes did not chase after him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only then that the voice of the dead reappeared in his ears, "I told you, don't provoke everything here. Sooner or later, your curiosity will kill you. ”

Zhu Beichen smiled embarrassedly, half of his body was not under the water, and apologized guiltily: "I understand, Sister Yan, I will follow you in the future." You told me to go east, but I would not dare to go west. Besides, aren't I okay now? ”

He patted his chest, trying to hide the danger of the right talent.

I can't see through him a little, this kid always likes to talk nonsense, and the character of Loulan people is strict, and there are very few characters who are good at talking.

"It's okay, look at the thing that hangs from the base of your left foot."

Yes! It was only after being reminded that he suddenly remembered that there was a rope-like thing in the water that hooked him, and he hung on his ankle and dragged him to the shore, but he didn't see any movement.

Zhu Beichen stepped out of the water in three or two steps to the shore, lifted his foot to take a look, and was shocked to find that it was a snake with the thickness of an arm, coiled stiffly around his ankle.

The long section of the snake's body dragged on the bank of the river, a full ten meters long, but it did not move.

I dragged the snake and untied it to realize that the snake was dead. He hurriedly checked his legs again, and there were two sharp wounds, which must have been bitten by the snake.

The bleeding at the wound has stopped, and there is a faint tingling sensation.

Zhu Beichen, who was familiar with the danger of snake venom, turned his face and became poisoned.

He sat down cross-legged and hugged his ankles and sucked for a while, hoping to suck some of the venom out.

"Giggle" smiled crisply, "Don't suck it, this snake is highly poisonous, if you want to die, you will die sooner." ”

Regardless of whether Zhu Beichen could see it or not, Nunu's mouth pointed to the snake corpse that was stiffened on the ground, "Your blood is more poisonous than its venom, it has been poisoned by you." "I secretly feel sorry for this snake that doesn't have long eyes.

Zhu Beichen also reacted that his blood contained unknown ingredients, which were indeed highly toxic. He stood up and picked the dead snake, and when he turned the snake's body, Bai Huahua's belly was facing the sky, and he was indeed dead.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and look in awe at the inexplicable giant ding in the middle of the river.

At the same time, a huge mystery coiled in the mind.

The giant tripod only appears at night, who made this giant tripod in the first place, and what is the purpose of placing it in Hanoi.

What is the reason for so many carvings of snakes on Juding's body after molting?
