"Shhh Hiss! ……”

Just when Li Yan was puzzled, the strange snakes lying on the cliff suddenly screamed, and then flew up towards him.

Although Li Yan rolled on the ground, his vigilance did not change, and he swung the dragon slaying knife directly towards the snake body.

"Bang! Bang! ……”

A series of muffled sounds, the dragon slayer knife slashed the snake body, but there was no imaginary knife in two, those strange snakes were knocked out of the dragon by the blade of the dragon slaying knife, fell to the rock wall and fell to the ground, bumping and bumping, but immediately after landing, one turned over and arched up, only the skin wrapped in scales was cut a few times.

Li Yan looked stunned for a moment, the dragon slaying knife didn't seem to work on them at all, this is a guy who sharpens iron like clay, how hard this skin is!

But he didn't have time to think about it, those strange snakes swam and flew towards him, and this time there were no dead ends in all directions, and he couldn't dodge if he wanted to.

At this moment, the ghost baby's body moved.

"Shhh Hiss! ……”

A terrible roar sounded, and the strange snakes on the ghost baby's body suddenly fell off as if they had been burned, and after falling to the ground, they kept twisting their bodies, and after a while, they turned up their white bellies, and even the strange snakes that attacked Li Yan flew back upside down like seeing ghosts, and all the strange snakes suddenly distanced themselves from them.

Li Yan hurriedly got up and retreated to the side of the ghost baby. After standing still, he looked up and looked again, just after a while, the four stone walls of the corridor were already covered with this strange snake, and now he arched his body and stared at them with his head shaking. They hadn't looked much at the top of their heads before, but now they found the top of the road. There are a lot of cracks, and these strange snakes are coming out of them.

"Interesting." The ghost baby looked at the strange snake that was no longer moving on the ground, and suddenly said strangely: "There is actually a candle dragon in this place?" And there are so many more. ”

Candle Dragon?!

Li Yan was stunned, the candle dragon he had seen in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" before, also known as Candle Jiuyin, is the image of a human-faced snake body, red, thousands of miles long, open your eyes for day, close your eyes for night. Blowing for summer, exhaling for winter, and being able to call for wind and rain, not drinking water, not eating, not sleeping or resting.

It's just that the strange snake in front of him is not red. It's not a human-faced snake god, and it's very different from the legend. If that's true. That can only be said to be a myth, and this kind of strange snake is really a myth.

"Smack... Syllable... Smack..."

At that moment, there was a soft sound from below the entrance to the cave, as if something was hitting the rock wall.

The ghost baby's face suddenly changed: "Run!" ”

After shouting, he turned around and shot towards Luffy when he came.

Li Yan didn't react at once, the ghost baby had changed too much before and after, but he didn't think much about it. Aside from his legs, he rushed back towards the road where he came, stepping on the lubricated ground and making a "crackling" sound, like a spell, but what was even more terrifying was the "whooshing" sound around him. It was the sound of the little candle dragon chasing them against the rock wall.

They ran all the way, almost never stopped, but I don't know what happened to the road, they ran out of the road for hundreds of meters and didn't see the cave when they came, and after running back, those little candle dragons were all gone, and the two of them stopped together.

"I think we looked like we were running out?" Li Yan looked at the road that was slightly downward, but it seemed to be an endless dark road and said.

"It's not like a ghost hitting a wall or something." The ghost baby shook his head, "I don't know what the Dao is. ”

Li Yan looked back at the behind him, it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything clearly, and now he didn't know what the situation would be when he ran back, and there were a lot of small candle dragons behind him, the ghost baby could easily deal with it, he didn't have that ability, even if he added Xiaoshui, it was estimated that he couldn't do it, but thinking of the candle dragon, the ghost baby's sudden action just now made him very incomprehensible, and he asked suspiciously: "What did you run for just now?" ”

The ghost baby was very direct: "I can't deal with the candle dragon." ”

Can't deal with it? Li Yan opened his mouth and said, "You mean there is an adult candle dragon in that cave?" ”

"It's still a mother." The ghost baby said a little helplessly, "The female candle dragon is very aggressive, you may not know this thing, they have a common place with the praying mantis, that is, after mating, the female candle dragon will often devour the mate." ”

"How could there be such a thing here?" Li Yan looked very puzzled, "As far as I know, the candle dragon likes yin, and isn't this thing a myth, how can no one find out in a place like Hangzhou?!" ”

"Animals know how to protect themselves, and unless you trespass into their territory, they won't attack on their own." After the ghost baby finished speaking, he saw that Li Yan's face was not very good, and then said, "Now it seems that the helper you are looking for is a big guy, this candle dragon is most likely used by the tomb owner to prevent tomb thieves, what a big hand, but I don't know where so much food came from, and so many little candle dragons were born..."

Li Yan said a little helplessly: "Then we should be considered to have broken into their territory now, right?" ”

The ghost baby didn't answer, but the results were clear.

At this time, Li Yan found a small stone from the side of the road, threw it down, and after a "pop" sound, there was a sudden "bang", and his face was suddenly happy: "It seems that our luck is not too bad." ”

"Let's go, if you want to save people, you have to hurry." After the ghost baby finished speaking, the figure flew forward.

Li Yan also hurried to keep up.

But it's also strange to say, they walked further along this road, and actually felt that the temperature around them had risen a lot, as if they had suddenly moved from the ice cellar to the furnace, and Li Yan couldn't help but shiver under the huge temperature difference, and complained: "I haven't heard that there is a volcano in Hangzhou, how do you feel like you have reached a crater?" ”

The ghost baby said with understanding: "No wonder the candle dragon didn't chase after him, it turned out that it was because of its old appearance." ”

"Hello?" Li Yan asked puzzled.

The ghost baby asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard of the principle of mutual restraint?" ”

Li Yan was not stupid, he reacted immediately: "You mean there is something else near us, it is the natural enemy of the candle dragon?" ”

"So to speak." The ghost baby explained, "There is a snake called the fire python, it is also a very ancient species, usually most of them sleep in a deep mud layer underground, only when the figure of the candle dragon appears within a certain range will it wake up, and the candle dragon will continue to sleep after driving the candle dragon out of the territory. ”

"No wonder those little candle dragons didn't dare to chase after them, it turned out that they were in someone's territory, but if that's the case......" Li Yan said and couldn't help frowning, "The candle dragon raised by the tomb owner is not around, how can we take the tomb owner out of the tomb under the nose of the fire python?" ”

"You're thinking a lot." The ghost baby smiled and said, "You think it'll come with us before you see the owner of the tomb?" ”

"Yes." Li Yanying said kindly, now that he is here, he can only take one step at a time.

As soon as they spoke, they had already reached the end of the road.

In front of them should be the main gate of the tomb, a bronze tomb door stands horizontally in front of them, more than four meters high, and the length has reached nearly ten meters, the word magnificent is the most suitable to describe it, but the tomb door has been covered with dark green patina, and the protruding rings are also covered with moss, it can be seen that the dark and damp environment in the ground has made it look a little "tired", but if you look closely at the crack of the door in the middle, you can find that there is a patina falling there, it seems that it should have been opened recently.

"It's certainly not a tomb robber." Li Yan looked at the scene in front of him, looked at the ghost baby, and said with a trace of worry on his face, "I have a bad premonition, maybe that fire python should be in the main tomb at this time." ”

"If you don't take a look, you'll know the way."

The ghost baby said, his hand lightly touched the bronze door, and he didn't see how he exerted his strength, and the bronze door that looked hundreds of pounds was pushed open by her on both sides, and a hot and humid gas immediately poured out, pouring onto the face to give people a feeling of suffocation.
