Chapter 18: The Fat Girl Snake

At that moment, I suddenly felt a stick under my feet. All of a sudden, my scalp was numb. &1t;/p>

Not only because listening to Anado's words just now made me more sensitive to this kind of thing, but also because this time I clearly felt the stick writhing under my feet. &1t;/p>

I hurriedly raised my foot and jumped to the side, as if to avoid this place. But I didn't expect the things under my feet to be faster than mine, and the brush caught my ankles and calves. &1t;/p>

I don't know if it's a snake or something, all I know is that I suddenly had a feeling of madness, and I screamed, "Something grabbed me!" ”&1t;/p>

Anado hurriedly turned around, "Don't move! ”&1t;/p>

But then again, I couldn't control it, and I kicked my leg to kick this thing off, but I didn't expect the animal to hold on so tightly that I didn't succeed. So I jumped on one leg, and once again used all my strength to take out the power of the long-range shot that I had played at school, and it was a desperate throw. &1t;/p>

Suddenly, I felt my legs loosen, and I was overjoyed and shaken off! &1t;/p>

All I saw was a black figure more than two feet long, which I had thrown out of the bushes. And at this time, Lantern Xiao was walking briskly from behind me, and this black shadow was impartial and fell into Lantern Xiao's arms. &1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao was caught off guard, grabbed the black shadow in his arms and looked at it, it turned out to be a very large black lizard, and the core spit out of the lizard's mouth was almost hitting his face. &1t;/p>

I believe that if he hadn't met in such an abrupt way, he might not have been afraid with Lantern Xiao's character, but at this time, he was unprepared, and he was immediately frightened and shouted, "Ah! ”&1t;/p>

As soon as Lantern Xiao screamed, the lizard in his hand seemed to be frightened, and he opened his mouth to bite Lantern Xiao's hand. &1t;/p>

It's a long time to say, but in fact, all this was born in a moment. Lantern Xiao didn't seem to react at all, watching the black lizard bite down, and forgot to let go. &1t;/p>

At the moment, I felt a sound of breaking wind in my ears, and then my afterglow swept to a silver light flickering by my side, only to hear a "poof" sound, and then look at the lizard in Lantern Xiao's hand, which has died of anger, and there is a finger-long steel needle running through its head. &1t;/p>

It's Wenmo! When he was in the Eye of the Void in the Ancient Tomb of the Island, I had seen him use this kind of weapon, and it was really a hundred hits, better than a gun. &1t;/p>

Looking at the dead lizard in his hand, Lantern Xiao woke up in shock, let go and threw the lizard corpse on the ground, "Damn!" Scared the hell out of me! Zhuo Ran, your uncle! I was almost killed by you!! ”&1t;/p>

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" After all, it started because of me, and I had to apologize again and again. &1t;/p>

In order to see the situation under his feet, Lantern Xiao swung his knife and chopped the branches in front of him, and then kicked the dead lizard under his feet, "What is this?" ”&1t;/p>

Anaduo stepped forward and looked at it and said, "This thing is called the Fat Girl Snake in our place, and it is actually a type of monitor lizard. ”&1t;/p>

I stepped forward and looked, "Monitor lizards?" Isn't this lizard not poisonous? ”&1t;/p>

Anador nodded, "It's not poisonous, but it's sometimes more terrifying than a venomous snake." ”&1t;/p>

I was a little surprised, so I asked, "Why is that?" ”&1t;/p>

Anado told me that the lizard is a scavenger and its mouth is filled with all kinds of viruses, bacteria, and parasites. If a person is bitten by this wild lizard, the slightest mistake will cause the wound to fester, and the whole body will be infected and die. &1t;/p>

I didn't expect this dumb-looking animal to be so scary, and I suddenly felt even more sorry for the Lantern Festival. This time, Lantern Xiao waved his hand at me, "It's okay, you didn't mean it, I don't blame you for this!" ”&1t;/p>

Everyone took a breath, drank some water, and started moving forward again. This time we went straight to the Chabu River. &1t;/p>

Although it is said to be a river, in fact, we are still quite a distance from the river, of course, this is not a horizontal distance, but a vertical distance. &1t;/p>

Due to the decline of the river level, the original river channel was exposed, and this part of the river channel, not like just now, has a gentle slope on both banks, and there will be shallows from time to time, and the sides of the river here are as steep as cliffs. &1t;/p>

My rough estimate is that we are standing about twenty meters from the river at our feet. &1t;/p>

But here, we finally confirmed Wenmo's original idea, and the Caibu River was indeed diverted here. The river really split in two here, and one of the forked rivers went straight into a big hole in the mountain. &1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao looked at it for a while, and suddenly patted his head, "I finally understand!" ”&1t;/p>

I looked at him inexplicably, "What do you understand?" ”&1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao said: "I have always been unable to figure it out, if Anaduo and their father and daughter found your second uncle at the location of the stone man just now. Since we can all find this place according to the clues, it is impossible for him to not find this place with his ability. Since he had already shown up at the time, why didn't he look for it at the time and wait until this time to do it again. Now I understand what the hell is going on! ”&1t;/p>

I asked, "Oh? What's going on? ”&1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao pointed to the Caibu River, "It's because of it!" Then he continued: "Your second uncle must have arrived here back then, but the entrance to the cave on this mountain was flooded by the Caibu River at that time, and in the same way, the cave was also filled with river water, so it was impossible for people to enter unless they carried enough oxygen equipment. And a large amount of oxygen equipment is difficult to transport here, and even if it can be transported, it is bound to arouse the suspicion of the surrounding mountain people, so your second uncle can only wait! By this time today, the water level has dropped and the hole has been re-exposed, so that you can get in. ”&1t;/p>

I nodded again and again, the Lantern Festival analysis was very reasonable, but I didn't expect the second uncle to be able to deduce the law of the river's decline. &1t;/p>

At this time, Anador suddenly said, "It seems that you are here to find ancient tombs or ancient ruins?" Immediately afterward, he frowned, "You are a group of tomb robbers?" Her emotions suddenly became a little excited. &1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao waved his hand again and again, "Hey, hey, you can't say that, we are all businessmen and craftsmen, you can take this situation as a way to purchase goods!" ”&1t;/p>

Anador gave him a blank look, "Nonsense! ”&1t;/p>

I walked up to Anado, "Actually, what you said is not entirely wrong, but it is not entirely true, because we are not here specifically for tomb robbing, we are following clues all the way to find this, we are more looking for an answer!" Including my second uncle. Maybe you won't believe it, but sometimes we really can't help ourselves. ”&1t;/p>

Anado listened to my words, thoughtfully, was silent for a while, and gradually stabilized her emotions, muttering in her mouth, "Who knows if what you said is true or false!" ”&1t;/p>

I smiled slightly, "Anyway, if you follow us this time, you'll understand when the time comes!" ”&1t;/p>

Anador nodded, "Good! ”&1t;/p>

The drop in the water level caused a thick layer of moss to grow on both sides of the river surface. &1t;/p>

At this time, Wenmo pointed to a moss under our feet and said, "Look at that! As he spoke, he pointed with his hand. &1t;/p>

We looked in the direction, and there was a footprint on the moss. This footprint was apparently left after the river level dropped, so it won't be too long since then. &1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao asked me, "Take a look, are those the footprints of your second uncle?" ”&1t;/p>

I took a look, "I'll go, are you embarrassed for me, I can't see clearly at such a distance, and I don't know if I can see clearly!" ”&1t;/p>

"It's his footprints!" At this time, Anado suddenly said aloud, "I know the pattern of that footprint, and I bought those hiking shoes for Qiu Ye." ”&1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao smiled, "That's right, since that's the case, then let's hurry up too!" However, Lantern Xiao always has a faster mouth than a brain, and after saying this, he began to frown again, "But how should I get down?" ”&1t;/p>

I also looked down cautiously, "I don't know how much water is in the hole down here, if there is no place to stay, we can't swim all the way in!" I don't think the situation in this cave is clear, so we still have to be cautious. ”&1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao looked at Wen Mo, "Boss, what do you say?" ”&1t;/p>

Wenmo untied his climbing rope, tied one end to a raised rock, and the other end to his waist, and then said to us, "I'll go down first to see the situation." After saying that, his hand slipped down instantly, and when he reached the position in front of the hole, his legs swung hard, and the whole person floated into the hole. &1t;/p>

The three of us had to wait for Wenmo's news on it. &1t;/p>

In the meantime, Anador asked, "This Wenmo is your boss?" ”&1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao nodded immediately, "Yes, look at our boss's skills, Niu X!" ”&1t;/p>

"But," Anadot thought for a moment and asked a very embarrassing question, "since you boss is so powerful, what are you two doing with you?" ”&1t;/p>

No way! I couldn't help but feel depressed, but I couldn't help but realize that we were really speechless. &1t;/p>

After a long time, Lantern Xiao squeezed out four words full of affection, "Brotherhood!" ”&1t;/p>

We waited on it for a while, but we didn't see Wenmo come back. I can't help but be a little anxious, but I always feel that with Wenmo's ability, there shouldn't be an accident, even if something happens, it can't be without any movement. &1t;/p>

We went and pulled the rope, but we don't know when the end of the rope has been loosened. We hurriedly pulled the rope up to take a look, and fortunately we could see that the rope was untied and not forcibly broken by an external force, which made us breathe a sigh of relief. &1t;/p>

This shows that Wenmo untied the rope by himself, obviously he continued to investigate inside, I couldn't help complaining, okay, okay, give me a word, what is going on with this silent self! &1t;/p>

Lantern Xiao said, maybe Wenmo wants to check one more paragraph, let's wait patiently. &1t;/p>
