Chapter 41: The Dragon's Shadow is Suspicious
As soon as he squeezed out the crack in the stone, Yu Fei suddenly thought of something: "Wait, that dragon tomb just now, it is very likely that my grandfather once came here." And my jade pendant, it is likely that it was originally in that dragon tomb. As he spoke, Yu Fei took out the Red Flame Ice Essence on his chest.
"The trapped beast ice spirit mentioned on the stone tablet is probably referring to your piece of Red Flame Ice Essence!" Luo Zi suddenly realized.
"This is possible, you should still remember the legend of this Red Flame Divine Beast, saying that it is a descendant of the fire dragon, in this case, I think it should also be regarded as a kind of dragon, so it will be placed in this dragon tomb." Yu Fei's mind seemed to be clear all of a sudden.
"If this Red Flame Divine Beast is real, then could it be that those dragons are also ......" Luo Zi said this, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat.
Yu Fei looked at everyone in a daze, and said slowly: "I understand, those dragons don't have no eyes, but ...... They all closed their eyes......"
At that moment, a deep, low groan came from the crack in the stone.
"Mom, what's the sound, it can't be those dragons waking up." Hearing this, the beast said tremblingly.
The others turned pale with shock.
"Let's go! Hurry up and find the exit, now I know where this cave leads, my dad said that my grandfather originally entered the cave from a place called Heishuitan next to his village, and got lost in it, and then accidentally went to the Dragon Tomb, after he came out of the Dragon Tomb, he walked upstream along an underground river, and then returned to the Black Water Pool. I think that's what he called the underground river! Yu Fei said.
Quan Wuye had already been a little dazed by the mysterious things that a few of them said, and as soon as he heard Heishuitan, he immediately came to his spirit again: "Heishuitan!" I know that place, but it is separated from our village by several mountains and has more than ten miles of mountain roads, so can this cave be so big? ”
"I think it's possible, more than ten miles of mountain roads, the straight-line distance in the underground should be only two or three miles, anyway, we are still wandering around here, it is better to walk upstream along this river." Luo Zi said, taking the lead and walking upstream.
At this time, the Songming torch of the fifth master had been extinguished because Songming did not bring enough, Luo Zi and the beast each took a flashlight, one illuminated the road ahead, and the other illuminated the water, and everyone cautiously marched forward.
As he was walking, the beast suddenly sighed, "Hey! Unexpectedly, the South China tiger that attacked the buffalo was nowhere to be seen, and we actually encountered the 'dragon'. ”
Yu Fei frowned: "By the way, when it comes to the animals that attack the buffalo, I have always suspected that it is not the South China tiger, but probably the dragon." When I was a child, my dad once told me a story about a man in their village who was taken away by a dragon in a cave, and that when the dragon appeared, it smelled very fishy. And the fifth master also said that on the day the buffalo was attacked, he also smelled a big fishy smell by the mountain pond. ”
Yu Fei's words shocked everyone, and the beast stammered and asked, "What! Phineas, you ...... You're not kidding, you're ...... Do you mean, really...... Is there really a living dragon? ”
"It's very likely, I don't know if you have noticed, there is a dragon coiled on every stone in the dragon tomb just now, but I found that one stone was empty, and I didn't care about it at the time, now that I think about it, it is likely that a dragon escaped the magic circle of the dragon, and the hole in the stone door may also be the dragon that collided out."
"Brother Fei, don't scare us, such a thick stone gate, how can it break open......" Tang Yan was so frightened that she grabbed Yu Fei's arm tightly and looked around, as if the dragon would appear at any time.
Yu Fei hurriedly comforted: "I'm just guessing, it may not be true, not to mention that even if a dragon escapes from the dragon tomb, it may not be for us to run into it." ”
"Just don't be afraid! In my life, tigers, leopards, and bears have never been slaughtered, and I almost slaughtered the dragon, and if I really run into it today, I will shoot it with one shot! "When the fifth master heard that there was a dragon, he was a little excited.
The brute held the SLR camera in his hand and said excitedly, "Wow! If I were to take a picture of a living dragon this time, it would be more precious than a photo of a South China tiger. ”
The monkey gave the beast a blank look: "What's wrong with you kid lately, I'm still thinking about taking pictures at this time." ”
"Hey, don't you know that since I quit my job, I've fallen in love with playing SLR at home."
"Cut! I've got you! But that voice just now has scared you so much that you can't speak, if the dragon really came out, it is estimated that you would have been scared half to death, and you will still want to take pictures when the time comes? ”
"That's it, put away your camera first, and we'd better find the exit as soon as possible and get out of this hellish place." Yu Fei said, clenching the Dragon Soul Sword in his hand.
At this time, there was a sudden splash on the surface of the water, and the frightened beast hurriedly squeezed into the middle of the group, causing Luo Zi to giggle, it turned out that it was just Luo Zi throwing a stone into the river just now.
"Brother Luo! It's not worth your life to be scared to death! The brute complained and honestly put away the camera.
"Haha, look at your greed for life and fear of death just now, and you claim to take a close-up of the dragon." The monkey laughed.
"You're embarrassed to say me, just now you were so scared that your whole body trembled."
The beast and the monkey teased each other, and the tense atmosphere seemed to ease a lot, only Lao Hei, who was running at the front, still maintained a high degree of vigilance, sometimes looking down to sniff, sometimes looking up and looking around.
After a while, everyone returned to the place where the giant snake had been killed, and at this time there were six or seven giant rats gnawing on the body of the giant snake. Lao Hei barked at the giant rat a few times, and several giant rats raised their heads, staring at everyone with red eyes.
Luo Zi glanced at Yu Fei and said, "Damn, how come there are such things everywhere in this cave, I really can't imagine how your grandfather got out of here alone." ”
"I didn't figure it out. No wonder he himself said it was a miracle! Yu Fei clenched the Dragon Soul Sword and said.
Quan Wuye raised his gun and aimed at the largest of them, and with a loud "bang", the giant rat fell to the ground. The rest of the rats immediately scattered and fled.
Lao Hei immediately chased forward, but was called back by the fifth master.
"I think we'd better hurry up, lest we get another group of people to come later." The monkey said tremblingly.
"That makes sense, I don't know how many rats like this are in this hole, we still have to find our way out quickly." As he spoke, everyone quickened their pace.
When I passed by the corpse of the giant snake, I saw that the broken part of the neck of the giant snake had been gnawed by the giant rat.
The beast sighed: "The food chain in this cave is really strange, the giant snake feeds on the giant rat, and the giant rat in turn gnaws on the dead giant snake corpse. ”
"It's right for a giant snake to pounce on giant rats, but the main food source of giant rats is definitely not the giant snake corpse, rats are omnivorous animals and eat everything, otherwise occasionally one or two dead snake corpses, how can they feed hundreds of rats here." Tang Yan is worthy of her mother being a zoologist, and she is right.
