Chapter Seventy-One: The Snake
I shook my head and shook the jumbled thoughts out of my head.
Now is not the time to be cranky, we need to run for our lives.
The "staircase" on this rock wall should be able to climb down if we grasp it with our hands and feet.
The structure inside the rock wall is no longer made of dirt, but is made of hard stone, so you will not be afraid that the soil will loosen and become unstable if you grasp it with your hands.
"How? Climb down? Ma Liang asked me softly.
I thought about it, looked at the dense statues around me, gritted my teeth, and said crawl!
No one objected!
Perhaps they also feel that they would rather be thrown to death than have their brains pried open and used to grow flowers.
As with the previous formation, I took the lead.
Crawling in this dark cave, the palms of my hands are covered with beads of sweat.
This is much more thrilling than bungee jumping, if one accidentally falls, it will be crushed, and you may not be able to find a whole piece of meat.
Have you ever seen a watermelon fall from the roof of dozens of floors? Asunder!
If we fall, it's the watermelon that is torn apart.
Originally, Ren Sheng proposed that we tie them together one by one with climbing ropes, but after thinking about it, I refused.
Tied together, it is a grasshopper on a rope, if one of them falls, it will definitely be wiped out by the whole army, and the group will be wiped out directly.
Take a deep breath to give yourself courage, then climb down cautiously.
Sun Yi is the second.
I looked at her while crawling, I thought my legs were weak because I was afraid, but I didn't expect her legs and feet to be sharper than mine.
What's going on? Could it be that women climb walls in the sky?
"Look at what, climb quickly!" Sun Yi glared at me.
I groaned, bit the flashlight to my mouth, and climbed down in fear.
As we climbed down the rock wall, we heard the sound of the statue cracking again.
When I heard this, I felt my heart jump out of my throat, and I climbed down a lot faster.
I climbed down for nearly five minutes, but I didn't reach the bottom yet.
I mentally estimated the distance, we should have climbed nearly 100 meters, but we have not yet reached the bottom of the cave.
Damn, is it really a bottomless pit?
Suddenly, my foot felt like I had stepped on something, and it was soft.
Damn, what's under my feet?
I jerked my body, and the hairs on my back stood on end.
"Stop!" I shouted softly at Sun Yi.
This Nizi's vision was blocked by my body, and she couldn't see what I stepped on, and she kept crawling down, stepping directly on my face, and rubbing it hard left and right, as if she was looking for a suitable place to stay, and my nose was about to be trampled.
"Climb down, something looks like it's coming down!" When Sun Yi saw me stop, he couldn't help shouting at me, his voice was very anxious.
Got something up there? Nima! What else do I have under my feet?
"I ...... I feel like I've stepped on something, stop first! I reached out a hand and removed her foot from my face, my heart beating hard.
Hearing me say this, Sun Yi also stopped and nervously asked me what it was.
I replied to her and said I don't know!
As I spoke, I took my flashlight and looked down.
Damn, what the hell is this!
The moment the light hit my feet, I was so frightened that I almost fell off the rock wall.
It's an animal I've never seen before, and it's unusually large.
It hovered at my feet like a giant snake, squinting as if asleep.
The skin was dark green, with terrifying scales covering the body, and the huge head had two screams and a long beard.
The body is very long and thick, and it takes three or five people to hug it.
However, it is coiled up at this time, and I can't estimate its length, but if it is extended, it may be 20 meters, which is still a conservative estimate!
Because it's in being too big, too big.
I was standing on its head with one foot, and I could imagine the horror.
"What the hell is under your feet?" Chen Yi saw that I didn't react for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask a basic question.
I know what it is.
Dark green, with horns on its head, as thick and long as a snake, and its body is covered with scales, which ......
Wait a minute!
This...... It won't be...... Be......
It occurred to me that a possibility that even I didn't believe in myself.
This Nima's can't be a dragon, right?!!
The dragon has a special mythological color, especially in ancient China, the dragon is a symbol of the emperor, but no one has ever seen what the dragon looks like.
Folklore has the image of a dragon with rabbit eyes, antlers, bull's mouth, hump head, mirage, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales, and snake body, nine animals in one.
There is no fixed theory about the origin of dragons, one of the more accepted theories in the academic community is that dragons are totemic changes taken from ancient Chinese tribes. After a tribal war, the winner will swallow up the loser and take a portion of the loser's totem and add it to his own totem.
In the process of continuous annexation of tribes, the shape of the "dragon" is formed, which is why the "dragon" has a variety of animal forms. But this dragon is not golden, it is dark green.
It has claws, but it's not five!
I remembered, this ...... This thing is Jiao.
There is a sentence recorded in the "Narrative of Differences": "The dragon has turned into a dragon for five hundred years, the dragon has turned into a dragon for a thousand years, the dragon has become a horned dragon for five hundred years, and the dragon has been a dragon for a thousand years." ”
With the vicissitudes of the sea, the sun and the moon change, it seems that the dragon may have disappeared or disappeared today, but the Jiao and the snake still exist! In many parts of China, there have been mysterious phenomena such as the catastrophe of the big snake, the water monster of the big lake, and the churning of the river for no reason, and some people often mistake it for a dragon, but it is actually a snake.
Damn, I couldn't have imagined that there was a dragon in the ancient tomb of the high priest!
Fortunately, it is now asleep, if it wakes up, let alone the master, even if Qin Liangying is there, it is useless.
This Nima is a Jiao, a behemoth that can turn into a dragon!
I finally understood why there were so many animal scratches on this rock wall, and it must have been left by the dragon's claws on the rock wall.
At the same time, I was angry with a fearful thought!
There are so many statues on it, but they are actually food, which is the food provided to this dragon.
Doesn't that mean that this dragon is the guardian beast in the tomb of the high priest?
Then who put so much "food" here to feed this dragon?
My mind was so messy that my body was shaking.
"You...... What happened to you? How...... How to shake non-stop! Chen Yi saw that my hand holding the rock wall was shaking, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
"Here's ...... There's a dragon! I don't know how I said that, and as soon as I finished speaking, a cold sweat came down all over my body.
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
No one spoke, and it was very quiet.
"Impossible! How could there be a dragon here! After a short silence, Ren Sheng suddenly smiled.
I didn't bother to talk nonsense, so I carefully moved my body to the other side, and my feet were taken away from the dragon's body.
At this moment, everyone saw the sleeping dragon hovering at our feet.
Silence again!
Obviously, there are so many of us, but these people do not bring me comfort, but feel the cold and my teeth tremble.
"This is not a dragon, it has not become a dragon yet, this is a snake!" After a long time, Professor Qin suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect that there are really snakes in this world, this trip is not in vain!" ”
I'm really a day, and now you're still sighing a fart!
It doesn't matter if it's a snake or a dragon, it can wipe us out.
In front of this snake, a few of us are like ants, and it is not enough to stuff it between its teeth.
"It's time to ...... What to do? "My teeth are chattering.
"Light, it's already asleep, don't wake it up, climb down slowly!" Ma Liang thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
That's all we can do for now.
The snake was so large that it was now asleep and had no idea how many humans stood on its head.
Think about it, for example!
When a person falls asleep, there are a few ants lying quietly on top of you and not moving, presumably no matter how loudly they are talking, people will not hear it, after all, it is not a level at all.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they moved their bodies little by little, crawling to the side, for fear of waking up the snake.
The palms of my grips on the stones were all covered with sweat.
As I climbed down, a strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart.
This snake is so big, why doesn't it breathe when it sleeps?
It stands to reason that it shouldn't, this snake is so big, its breathing sound should be loud, but why can't we hear it at all?
With that in mind, I looked at the snake again.
This sight scared me so much that I almost lost my soul.
The snake didn't know when it had opened its eyes, and the big eyes of the soup bowl stared at our group, faintly emitting green light......
