Chapter 147: Reverse Scales
Because of a moment of forgetfulness, the fat man accidentally got into trouble, and sat on a dragon scale on the dragon's back, but we were surprised to find that under the strange white mask dragon scales, there was an unusually foul-smelling unknown turbid liquid.
Dude guessed very unrealistically that the liquid under the dragon scales was egg liquid.
The fat man curiously wanted to take a look at the liquid in the oval hole under the dragon scales, so I had to helplessly pull him forward. As a result, he suddenly stopped moving, and it turned out that he noticed something unusual on the side of the dragon's neck, and I hurriedly leaned over to check. The fat man walked to the other side to check it out, and after I looked at the left side, I also came to the right side of the dragon statue to check it out with confidence.
Sure enough, as the fat man said, there are no black scales on the right side of the dragon's neck, and it seems that there is only a black mask scale on the left side of the dragon's neck.
I leaned back and asked the fat man, "How did you notice the difference under the neck of the dragon rock carving, it stands to reason that from the angle you just stood on, it should be difficult to find the black scale below." ”
The fat man squinted his eyes and said to me, "Didn't I just walk with my eyes squinted and my head down?" As a result, I suddenly saw a strange light flashing obliquely below, and I felt that there was something abnormal, so I went over to check it curiously, and found a black protrusion. I guess the sun was reflected on the smooth mirrored black rock, refracted upwards, and I happened to see it. ”
After listening to the fat man's story, I looked at him with a smile intently, and the fat man asked me a little embarrassed, "What's wrong?" Why are you looking at me so strangely? ”
I smiled and replied, "Okay, fatty." I thought you were going to try to trick me with a set of theories about gods and ghosts, but I didn't expect you to explain it to me from a scientific point of view. I really underestimated you. ”
When the fat man heard this, he was furious. I yelled that I usually watch people through the cracks in the door, and I flattened him.
Our laughter caught the attention of the others. The playboy approached the two of us with a curious expression, and even Captain Chen and the others, who were above the dragon head in the distance, shouted curiously, "Have you found the exit?" ”
I stood up and said back to the other side, "I haven't found an exit yet." However, we've found something odd and will let you know what's going on when we're going to check it out. ”
As soon as my words fell, a "good" echo came from afar.
The fat man bragged to the dude about his magic and found the black scales under the dragon's neck. I tied a fist-sized sleeve with a rope and prepared to use it to cover the black scales.
I didn't have much hope and leaned in, but I was able to catch the end of the black mask's scales. Thinking back to all the difficulties when the rope was tied just now, and now it has succeeded in one attempt, I can't help but be excited: God help me. Then I pulled hard.
Suddenly, there was a cacao sound around me, and the sound instantly changed to one after another, and then I saw all the white weird mask scales on the dragon statue. They all bounced and shook as if they were alive. When I looked closely, I saw that the white scales of the mask were not shaking, but were tilted upwards one after another, breaking away from the dragon rock carving.
My heart beat violently. Up and down, it was like a cold winter wax moon, and a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe. It's completely cool.
The black mask scales were none other than the "reverse scales" on the dragon's body. ”
"Dragons have reverse scales. If you touch it, you will die. "Legend has it that under the dragon's neck. There is a white scale that grows upside down, which is called a "reverse scale".
Han Feizi. It's hard to say": "The dragon is an insect, and it can be disturbed and ridden." However, there is a reverse scale ruler under its throat, and people have to pick it up. then V people will be killed. The human master also has reverse scales, and those who say it can not provoke the reverse scales of the human master, then there are few. ”。
The meaning is to say: dragons belong to the beast class, you can domesticate it, play with it, ride it. However, at the lower end of its throat, there is a foot-long inverted scale, and if a person touches this upside-down scale, he will definitely be hurt by it. The monarch also has inverted scales, and if the lobbyist can not offend the monarch's inverted scales, he can almost be regarded as a good and perfect person, who is good at observing words and colors, and has a clever tongue.
Reverse scales, from ancient times to the present, are often extended to the weakness of those in power. The person who touches it is undoubtedly looking for death, and the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, all of which have this meaning, but there is an active and passive distinction before and after.
But anyone who is slandered by words and poked at the sore spot of the physical defect can't help but be angry. Reverse scales are the taboo and bottom line of most people, and revealing people's scars for no reason is undoubtedly trying to provoke the fire. The so-called "hitting people without slapping them in the face, scolding people without revealing their shortcomings" all point to this meaning.
The scales are generally white and grow on the throat at the lower end of the dragon's neck. But the reverse scales on the Shenlong stone carving on the steep rock wall in the snow valley, although they grow below the neck, are black, I didn't care for a while, and I accidentally touched the reverse scales.
When I came to my senses, I immediately realized that I had fallen into a catastrophe.
The scales on the dragon's body are untouchable, and if they are touched by mistake, the person who touches them will definitely die.
The magnificent stone carving of the dragon in the snow valley, the reverse scales on it also have the same reason, after I touch it, the white weird mask on the dragon's body bounces up one after another, which is definitely not a good thing.
I was devastated, lost my mind and body, and was stunned by the pestle above the dragon's head, looking at the white face mask that bounced up one after another, and did not react at all.
The fat man heard the chaotic noise, and asked the playboy standing beside him curiously, "What's the matter?" What's the Thing Rattling in Kaka? ”
The playboy didn't know about the scales, and he was stunned by the white mask that bounced up, but he didn't know what was so powerful, so he just said to the fat man in surprise: "Brother, the scales of the mask on the dragon's body are dancing weirdly." ”
The fat man turned his back to the dragon's back, couldn't see what was happening behind him, and when he heard the playboy's explanation, he was even more confused, so he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, turned around, and then slowly showed his fingers out of a gap to check. As soon as he glanced at it, the fat man put his hand down, widened his eyes and said, "Damn, what's the matter?" Scales can also deceive corpses? ”
The playboy saw the fat man's eyes wide in horror, and asked the fat man suspiciously, "Brother, are you okay with your dense phobia?" ”
The fat man turned his head and replied to the dude, "The things that move don't matter." ”
While the fat man and the playboy were talking, a white mask on the dragon's spine suddenly bounced from above to the dandy's feet, causing him to reflexively raise his feet and smash the strange white mask with one kick.
As a result, I heard a "poof", a foul-smelling, viscous and turbid liquid, splashing all over the faucet.
I looked up in amazement to examine the surging mask on the dragon's back, and at first, I thought it had been a mistake that had touched the mechanism connected by the scales, causing the mask to bounce up. But now, I noticed something unusual, these white masks seemed to be alive, vital things. I couldn't help but get closer to the dragon's spine that stretched upwards and take a closer look.
As a result, my limbs were as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and my body was frozen from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, so that I could not move.
The white mask on the back of the majestic and winding dragon statue was all detached from the rock carving and propped up in mid-air. The white strange mask is supported by six long hairy legs like arthropods, as thick as chopsticks, and an arc-shaped white mask from below, which looks like a flat-shelled hermit crab, and like a horseshoe crab without a tail (also known as a horseshoe crab: it is a sword-tailed marine arthropod of the class Limb and Mouth. Not crabs, but scorpions, spiders, and extinct trilobites. )
Seeing that the strange mask was not just a simple dragon scale, my heart was like riding a roller coaster, and I felt like I wanted to vomit.
It turned out that the turbid and viscous liquid in the oval pit was not the rotten egg liquid that Playboy had speculated, but the bodily fluids of this primitive horror creature that resembled a trilobite.
The countless mask dragon scales on the dragon statue were all separated from the rock carving, and the white mask carapace body was supported by the knotted feet, and it kept bouncing upward. I really can't imagine what these strange creatures are that look like insects and turtles, and I don't know how threatening they are.
But I know that these mask beetles that may be some kind of Gu worm are by no means good-natured kinds.
After bouncing for a while, the horseshoe crabs all stopped moving, as if they were patients lying on the hospital bed for a long time, and they first had to ease their body functions before "eating".
It was an idea that popped into my head, and it made me gasp at the same time that it popped up.
At the same time, the motionless masked horseshoe crabs, all of them suddenly supported their hind feet, all the strange white masks were erected, and countless hideous and terrifying strange smiling faces, under the bright sunlight, could not hide the evil aura that expelled them.
Looking at the palm-sized white weird smiley face masks, my legs began to tremble for some reason.
The fat man was the first to move, he woke up Tianyu and Ge Laojiu, who were still sitting on the dragon's head, unknowingly, and then he was about to jump down the rope.
Captain Chen noticed our anomaly on the other side and asked loudly, "What happened to you there?" ”
I didn't know how to respond to the situation we were facing, so I was speechless. The fat man, on the other hand, was busy shouting and replied, "Don't touch the dragon scales, it's a weird bug, it's dangerous." ”
After speaking, he directly tied the groggy Ge Lao Jiu to the rope, and without saying a word, he directly pushed him off the dragon's head.
The fat man's decisive and decisive method, no one expected, and the people standing on the dragon head in the distance couldn't help but close their eyes in a burst of exclamation. (To be continued......)
