Chapter XXVI
Ah Sheng shouted, and we hurriedly came over, and he pointed to a place under the belly of the python, and said, "Here, you see ......."
When I stepped forward to take a look, I saw that under the belly of the python, there was a slightly raised part, about the size of a fist, and it was an exaggeration to say that it was a foot, but if it was not a foot, it was somewhat similar.
We began to study the python, and after searching for a long time, we found six parts that resembled claws, but all of them looked more like products of underdevelopment.
Pan Haigen frowned and said, "Could it be that this is actually a python that is turning into a dragon?" â
"Turning into a dragon? Pan Ye, you're not kidding, how could the snake that turned into a dragon be killed by us so lightly, besides, is there really a saying that a python turns into a dragon? â
Zhang Ye shook his head to express disbelief, and at this time, Da Kui, who was pulled away by the tail of the python, got up, walked over and looked at it a few times and said, "I think this snake may have a tumor, or it is a bone hyperplasia......
Pan Haigen glared at him and asked me again, "What do you think?" â
This was the first time he had asked for my opinion, in fact, I had heard of this kind of thing, so I thought about it and said to him: "As far as I know, even if such a big python becomes a climate, there is no possibility of directly turning into a dragon, but it may become a Jiao." But once this kind of thing reaches the point where it is about to transform, it must already be psychic, and it will not show up, nor will it be possible to hurt people indiscriminately, let alone stop on the road so blatantly. â
"Oh? Then you say, why would this be? Pan Haigen looked at me with interest and asked, I scratched my head and analyzed: "Since this python injured its eyes first, it may be that it hurt people here, and when it met an opponent, it was injured in the eye." And its nest should not be far from here, in my opinion, let's not study it, hurry up and get out of here, in case this big python still has a husband and wife, turn around and jump out to take revenge, but it will suffer. â
Pan Haigen nodded and said, "Yes, let's get out of here quickly, but we can't go any further, Da Kui, is there anything wrong with your kid?" â
Da Kui straightened his chest: "It's okay, I can't die." â
"If you can't die, everyone should bring your things and retreat three kilometers, and we will have to camp tonight."
As soon as Pan Haigen gave the order, we acted together, collected and sorted out the backpacks and items scattered on the ground, and didn't care about the dead snakes on the ground.
We finally chose a place with more open terrain to camp, and the night before, everyone took turns to keep vigil, so as not to encounter any accidents again, but today Da Kui was more unlucky, the leg injury did not heal, and was whipped by the giant python, saying that it was fine, but the action was still affected by something, so I volunteered to ask for a vigil.
After some discussion, in view of the situation last night, Pan Haigen decided that today it would be a group of two people to take turns to keep vigil, remove Da Kui, me and Pan Haigen, Ah Sheng and Zhang Ye, just two groups.
Da Kui, this guy is five big and three rough, but he doesn't have to keep vigil for two consecutive nights, I laughed and teased him: "You better be energetic tonight, lest you sleep until midnight and be dragged away by monsters, and then we will have to look for you." â
Da Kui listened to my words, smiled, picked up a knife from Zhang Ye casually, slammed it into the ground, and then shouted at Zhang Ye: "Give me a rope, I don't believe it, there will be something that can drag my two hundred catties away tonight, I have your surname." â
Zhang Ye raised his leg and kicked him, scolding: "Fuck off, you have the same surname as me......"
Da Kui called out a few times and said: "You really kick, you have no conscience, you forgot when Lao Tzu saved you just now, hey I said, it's even, this time neither of us owes anyone." â
"The beauty you think, Lao Tzu saved you a few times before, and you said it yourself, you want to flatten it?"
"Ahem, I'm talking about this time, this time it's flat, the previous ones aren't ......"
I couldn't help but laugh as I watched these two people arguing, and my mood relaxed.
Along the way, in fact, I have always been wary of them, but until this moment, I really can't help but integrate into it, maybe this is a kind of friendship of tribulation, these just a few days, experienced a lot of thrilling and dangerous situations, think about if it is not for these people to support each other, it is estimated that it is not in that underground castle by those strange monkeys torn to pieces, but also become the giant python's belly of the meal.
It was late at night, and the few of us didn't dare to light a bonfire, or even turn on a flashlight, so as not to provoke anything. After everything was done, Ah Sheng and Da Kui got into the tent, but Zhang Ye said that he would not go in at all, he leaned on the outside of the tent alone, clasped his hands on his shoulders, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The night wind was still very cold in the wilderness, and I wanted to persuade him to go into the tent and rest, and we would just keep watch outside, but Pan Haigen shook his head at me, and motioned for me to leave him alone.
I had to sit down next to him, leaning back against the tent, only to feel that my tense nerves had finally relaxed slightly, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking up, the dark night sky was shrouded in a layer of fog, with only a few stars dotted among them, and the surrounding darkness was almost invisible, and the night was low, like a cauldron upside down on the wilderness, and a disturbing sense of depression spread in my heart.
Neither of us spoke, and Pan Haigen seemed to be very tired, and after a while, I began to feel a little sleepy, but the cold wind in the wilderness was blowing into my clothes, and I subconsciously tightened my clothes and shrunk into the tent.
It seems that this vigil is not easy to do, I was about to stand up and move, Pan Haigen suddenly whispered: "Brother Yuan, you came out with us, do you regret it?" â
I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Regret? Is it useful to regret it, I want to say that I want to go home now, can I do it? â
He also smiled, patted me and said, "Don't worry, if it goes well this time, you should be able to go home when we go back." â
"Shun lĂŹ...... Can you tell me first, how can you find the Black Water Demon Cave? â
I took the opportunity to ask what was in my heart, Pan Haigen was silent for a moment, and then suddenly reached out and took out a folded brown paper from his arms, handed it to me, I subconsciously took it, and wondered: "This is...... Map? â
"It should be, more than ten years ago, I studied with your uncle for several months before I came up with such a thing, and the result was ......."
He suddenly opened the conversation, I don't know if he said it to me on purpose, or if he was already planning to officially consider me his own.
He said that a long time ago, outside this extreme north, there was a legend that in the vast and endless wasteland, there was a black water demon cave.
Legend has it that there are ancient monsters in the black water demon cave, and there are also ten thousand treasures, and some people say that it is a fairy cave, which exists alone at the junction of heaven and earth, and ordinary people can't see it at all.
For hundreds of years, there are not a few people who have heard of this legend, and there are many people who venture to find the Black Water Demon Cave outside the Saiwai, but this mysterious Black Water Demon Cave has never really appeared in the mouth of any explorer, because after those people set foot on the road to find the Black Water Demon Cave, there are no survivors.
Later, this black water demon cave has become a forbidden place, no one knows where the black water demon cave is, and no one knows what kind of mysterious place it is, in short, it is a place that makes people talk about it.
However, every dangerous place in this world must have a treasure to match. More than ten years ago, Pan Haigen and my uncle found a parchment scroll in an ancient tomb, and after careful study, the two of them cracked the hidden secrets, drew a map, and preliminarily confirmed that the map refers to the forbidden place that has not been explored for hundreds of years, the Black Water Demon Cave.
And according to the record in the parchment scroll, the burial jade found with the parchment scroll is the key to entering the Black Water Demon Cave. At that time, after some planning, the two decided to set off to the northeast border to find the Black Water Demon Cave, but just before leaving, Uncle Shi suddenly said goodbye and took the burial jade with him.
Pan Haigen has a map in his hand, but there is no burial jade, but he does not dare to act without permission, he is cautious by nature, knowing that there must be a reason for his uncle's departure, but after several years of hard searching, it has been fruitless, and then for this black water demon cave, in order to find the missing uncle, he simply opened an antique shop, mixed in all day long, in order to one day be able to find the burial jade in the vast sea of people, and find the uncle.
But he mixed around for a few years and didn't find the whereabouts of the burial jade, but a few days ago, he suddenly received a letter from his uncle, along with the letter, and the burial jade that had been missing for ten years......
When Pan Haigen said this, I jumped up almost subconsciously, and my eyes widened in surprise: "You said, this burial jade was sent to you by my uncle, and it was originally here with you?" And then you sold it to me again? Damn, it's because you've been calculating me? â
He spread his hands and nodded innocently.
