Chapter 42: The Unicorn Python
Four or five meters in front of us, there was a large stone wall, ten meters wide and ten meters high, connected to the top of the cave dozens of meters away, and the place where we stood was like a wide hall, surrounded by mountains on both sides of the stone wall and the gap behind us.
Of course, what makes me strange is not that the appearance of this cave is somewhat unexpected, but that the stone walls and the ground in it do not look natural. I can't imagine it.
When I was concentrating on thinking, Lu Dachuan and Liu Fashan turned on the high-power lighting and went through this semicircular cave that looked wide but made people feel extremely oppressive. The result of this did not yield anything, but it was more disappointing and unacceptable for everyone.
"What kind of business is this!" Hu Xiaoming immediately complained, "My stomach is almost ruined, and the air I find is a stone." ”
"It doesn't look like it's natural." Lu Dachuan turned around to look at the almost flat roof of the cave, and muttered suspiciously, "What is such a strange hole for?" ”
Liu Changleg said: "The entrance of the cave is so narrow and so long, could it be that there was a water source here before, and they used it to store water?" ”
Liu Fashan shook his head: "If there is a spring below or water seeping down from above, it can't be so smooth." ”
Knowing that all speculation was in vain in such a place, I left the crowd and looked up the mountain wall alone. Ever since I was looking for my father's whereabouts, it has almost become a habit for me to investigate everything as if it were a crime scene. I started from the right, turned the semi-circular mountain, walked over the front rock wall, and went to the far left to find that the big stone wall and the mountain on this side were not connected, but there was a gap that was not too wide.
I thought there would be some unexpected gains, but I didn't expect to be even more disappointed when I came in. Because there is a stone wall as wide as the outside, and only one person can pass through the two stone walls.
I walked inside, looked up and down for a while, but it was still empty, and I couldn't figure it out. At this time, I heard Lu Dachuan shouting loudly: "Zheng Shuang." ”
I stopped, turned around and shone my flashlight in this direction, which was kind of an answer.
"Did you find anything?" Lu Dachuan said and walked towards me. I saw him followed by Lu Keqin and Liu Changleg.
"It's the same as outside, there's nothing." I stood and waited for him to come.
Lu Dachuan walked in front of me in a few steps, and as soon as I turned around and walked two steps inside, I heard Hu Fatman's shout "Ouch, my stomach is ......", and I couldn't help but stand again.
"Come on, I'll push." Liu Fashan's voice.
"Don't, don't! I'm still waiting for you outside. ”
Lu Dachuan turned around and shouted, "It's not appropriate for you to be alone!" ”
"Okay, no, that's it." Hu Xiaoming responded, "If you squeeze the fat man again, I'll leak!" ”
Lu Dachuan said: "Huzi, you also stay, the two of them can take care of each other." ”
Zhang Xiaohu responded. We continued to walk on, to the far right of the second stone wall, and a crack appeared on the same as the one on the left of the first.
"What's in there? Why is it like this? "I'm even more confused.
Lu Dachuan squeezed sideways in front of me, looked in and said, "If you want to know what's going on, you can only go in and see." ”
As he spoke, he squeezed into the crack in the second stone wall. I squeezed in after him, my eyes wide open, looking around, a hint of fear in my heart for no apparent reason.
After going through the second and third paths, it is still the same. We are more and more curious, and at the same time our fear is increasing. After the fifth stone wall, I couldn't bear it anymore, and the narrow corridor and tall stone wall made me fall into a deep despair, and I wanted to cry and laugh. I didn't look good on their faces, and Lu Keqin was even more trembling, her eyes were straight, I took a slow step and grabbed her hand and held it tightly in my palm.
After walking two more times, everyone's breathing became obviously short, and the heartbeat of "dong dong" was endless, and they couldn't tell whether it was themselves or someone else's.
"Okawa." Liu Fashan, who was walking at the back of the line, shouted.
We looked back at him mechanically.
"You can't go any further." Liu Fashan leaned against the stone wall on the side, panting heavily, sweating profusely on his forehead, as if he had just come out of the sauna.
Everyone kept on their feet, and it seemed that they could still hold on, but now when they stopped, no one was willing to go inside.
I didn't want to go, but I didn't want to give up, so I said, "It's so weird to build here, if there is something we are looking for, give up and not suffer in vain!" ”
Cai Zhengdong immediately retorted: "It's too depressing, if you continue like this, everyone will have to collapse." ”
Lu Dachuan was a little hesitant, it was indeed dangerous to go further, but it was a pity to give up, after all, he had already gone so far.
Seeing that everyone had a disagreement, Daddy Boba said in an urn: "I'll go in by myself." Wait for me here, or go outside. ”
Lu Dachuan disagreed, and said: "Dad, if you want to join everyone, how can you let yourself go on an adventure alone." ”
"I've become like this, what am I afraid of?" Daddy Boba said and squeezed forward from behind, "Besides, there is Dorjee, you can rest assured!" ”
"I'm going with you."
Daddy Boba stretched out his withered hand and blocked Lu Dachuan: "It's easy for everyone to have an accident when they are separated, so you better take them outside and wait for me." ”
Just as they were arguing, the sound of messy footsteps sounded on the first floor outside. At the end, Liu Fashan immediately straightened up and assumed a posture of vigilance. Our eyes were fixed on the entrance at one end of the stone wall.
With a flash of light, Zhang Xiaohu squeezed in, Hu Xiaoming behind him was as fast as him, and his stomach was not in the way at all.
"Someone came in." Without waiting for anyone to ask, Zhang Xiaohu gasped and said.
"Who?"
"I didn't see it clearly, but there were a lot of people, all with guns!"
"Why did they come back so soon?"
"I don't look like those foreigners."
A group of people with guns was already difficult to deal with, and now that another group appeared, Lu Dachuan's eyebrows were twisted into a rope, and he immediately said: "Enter!" ”
There was no way out, everyone had no objections, and quickly walked inside. Entering the eighth corridor, we saw a brilliant purple light shooting out of the opening of the ninth stone wall. The beauty of the memory shook everyone's hearts, and they took three steps and two steps, squeezing into the cracks.
Behind this stone wall is no longer a stone wall, but a cave, how big the cave is, what is in it, we don't pay attention to it at all. Because his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by a purple light in the cave.
The purple light was as beautiful as we had seen before, except that it was not floating in the air, but like an irregular purple gem, the size of a truck on the ground.
Before we knew it, we stepped forward and stood in front of the purple light.
I circled around the purple light, and suddenly saw what was in the purple light, and I couldn't help but exclaim.
They were all taken aback.
"What's wrong?" Lu Dachuan asked.
I pointed to the purple light and stammered: "It's a snake...... The remains of a one-horned snake ......"
Lu Dachuan ran to me, and I pointed out to him the snake head on the top and the single horn on the side. Lu Dachuan saw it clearly and gasped: "My God! How big a snake would be if it were! ”
They all gathered around.
"It's not true, it's true!" As I spoke, I bent down and groped for a piece of it at the base of the violet light. Everyone was stunned, because it was clearly a snake's tail.
At this time, Dorjee roared into the depths of the cave. I felt a gust of fishy wind, and a one-horned python thicker than a bucket burst out from the depths of the cave, except for the eyes and the bloody mouth, all over the body was bright and a brilliant purple, like a huge gemstone carved out.
Although my discovery made everyone mentally prepared, when the predicted event came true, and a living python appeared in front of us, we were still scared stupid, looking at the snake with both eyes, and our minds went blank.
The one-horned python didn't attack us immediately, it spat out a fiery red letter, and slowly rose up to the front half of its body, until the horns on its head were almost at the top of the cave. Two eyes larger than a bull's eye shot a cold glow.
In the roar of Dorjee, Lu Dachuan retracted his mind, secretly looking at the current form, and preparing to fight to the death. He turned off the small flashlight and slowly put it into his pocket, then carefully reached behind his back with his left hand, and felt the headlight through the hole in his backpack, while his other hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife stuck in his waist.
The unicorn python noticed Lu Dachuan's small movements, his eyes locked on him, and his neck leaned back slightly. Lu Dachuan knew that it was going to attack, so he quickly turned on the headlights, shone them on the snake eyes, and shouted in his mouth: "Run!" ”
Lu Dachuan's purpose is obvious, he wants to use strong lights to affect the snake's line of sight and buy time for everyone to squeeze out the crack, but the python doesn't seem to be affected at all. Because I only felt a flash of purple light in front of me, I saw Lu Dachuan fly out like a kite with a broken string, slammed into the stone wall behind me, and then fell heavily to the ground. Under the double impact, Sen Sen, the leader of Lu Dachuan, turned over in his chest, and a stream of blood spurted out of his throat.
The unicorn python flew to the top of the land and the river, and immediately retracted its neck to find the next target. In the face of such a behemoth, we really didn't know how to deal with it, so we had to learn the appearance of landing Dachuan, and turn on the flashlight to shine on the snake's eyes. Under the illumination of more than a dozen strong flashlights, the python's head immediately deviated to the side, we saw that there was a play, and just wanted to retreat, but we didn't expect it to immediately change its tactics, and the first half of its body made a graceful arc from the right to turn into the hole, and at the same time, the tail in the hole swept horizontally towards us from the left.
We didn't expect the huge snake to be so agile, and we couldn't catch off guard for a while, and we were all swept away by the huge snake's tail and flew to the right side of the cave, falling to pieces. Lu Dachuan, who was hit twice in a row, was already in a semi-coma. Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er crawled on the ground and couldn't move; When the snake's tail swept over, Liu Changleg squatted down and was about to help Lu Dachuan, so he was stained with some light, and he was the least injured; Cai Zhengdong, Liu Fashan, and Ma Qiang also had blood on the corners of their mouths; The fat man has rough skin and thick meat, which is better; Daddy Boba was the worst, his head and feet were almost broken together, and it seemed that his waist was broken, and he didn't know if he could survive. Dorjee whimpered and tugged at his clothes. Of course, I'm no better.
Thankfully, the unicorn python didn't take advantage of the victory and gave us a chance to breathe. I climbed up against the stone wall, looking at the helpless people lying on their backs, and even more distressed when I looked at the position we were in. If we were thrown to the left side of the cave, there would still be a chance to climb out, but now it's all on the right, and there is almost no hope of escaping.
The unicorn python spun around in the hole and adjusted its body, and slid towards us faintly. I instinctively struggled to retreat towards the roots of the mountain wall. Dorjee pulled up Daddy Boba's upper body several times, and as soon as he let go of his mouth and fell down, it seemed to understand something, gave up the attempt, turned around and rushed towards the python, grinning his lips and showing his teeth, and pressing down on his front legs and gathering momentum on his hind legs. The mane in the neck is windless and automatic. I couldn't see its eyes, but I could feel the anger burning in its eyes. The python swimming forward stopped, staring at Dorjee with cold eyes.
I don't know why, but then the fear in my heart disappeared and was replaced by a force, a force that conquered everything. This force quickly spread to all my limbs as the blood pumped out of my heart. I picked up the dogleg cutlass that had fallen to the ground and slowly stood up.
A man, a mastiff and a snake stared at each other silently. Time froze, air froze......
