"What strange phenomenon? Did the snake kiss you? ”

Lantern Xiao pushed me, "you!" Be serious! ”

I waved my hand and motioned for the Lantern Festival to continue.

"Just as I was rushing into the tomb, suddenly a big snake hung down, and I felt that the snake hyacinth was about to touch the tip of my nose, and I felt my hair stand on end. If I had opened my mouth, my heart would have popped out! ”

"Nope! You are so fat, it is estimated that the fat on your heart is indispensable, and you will definitely get stuck in your throat. I spoke.

"Okay, don't interrupt, what the hell is this strange phenomenon?" Kong Xue urged on the side.

Lantern Xiao pretended to lower her voice mysteriously, "That snake was so close to me at that time," she said and gestured with her hand, "I thought I would definitely not be able to dodge this time, my heart was closed and my eyes were closed, what do I love!" As a result, I didn't expect the snake to retreat for a while. I have time to escape! After Lan Xiao finished speaking, he was a little proud, "Is it the momentum on my body that scared off that big snake!" ”

I thought for a while and said, "No, it should be that the big snake doesn't like to eat fatty meat!" Kong Xue also nodded in agreement.

"I'll go! You guys! Lantern Xiao pointed at us, "I really can't talk to you anymore." ”

"However," I still seriously thought about the situation that Lantern Xiao said, and it was indeed a little abnormal, "The situation you said is a bit strange, unless there is something special about you?" ”

Regarding the situation that Lantern Xiao said, I suddenly remembered that before, when we and Wenmo opened the stone door, we accidentally triggered the mechanism, attracting countless small snakes. At that time, I noticed that most of the snakes rushed towards me, but there was almost no one around the Lantern Festival. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't think much about it at all, but now that I think about the scene at that time, coupled with what the Lantern Festival said just now, it seems that this is not a coincidence.

So I pulled Lantern Xiao to stand up, and looked him up and down carefully, until I looked at Lantern Xiao a little hairy, and still didn't see any difference. Could it be that I leaned over and lifted my nose to smell it, and a smell of sweat made me frown. Still, I noticed a strange smell, something familiar, as if I had smelled it somewhere.

Suddenly I remembered that when Wenmo and we had just entered the ancient tomb, in the first burial chamber, Lantern Xiao had stepped on a clay pot with some viscous liquid, many of which were stuck to Lantern Xiao's pants. Could it be because of this?

I reached out to grab Lantern Xiao's pants, and Lantern Xiao was startled, "Damn!" Zhuo Ran, we have something to say, we can't pick other people's pants! ”

I ignored him as well, and touched the place on his pants where the liquid was stained, it was still wet, I pinched some and put it under my nose and smelled it, there was no particularly obvious smell, I took out my lighter, burned it on my fingers, and sniffed it again, this time I smelled a very obvious smell of garlic.

I knew that this was the case, and fortunately I was good at chemistry back then! Kong Xue looked at my actions and asked, "How did you find anything?" ”

I nodded, "The liquid stuck to the Lantern Festival pants contains arsenic tetrasulfide. ”

"Arsenic tetrasulfide? What is that? Kong Xue asked.

I twisted my fingers, "I said arsenic tetrasulfide, you may not understand it, I can tell you that it has another name, realgar!" ”

"Realgar!" Kong Xue and Lantern Xiao exclaimed in unison, "No wonder those snakes are afraid of me. However, I smell it myself, and it doesn't smell much. ”

I explained: "That's because snakes are extremely sensitive to taste, and they rely on the Jacobson's organ in their mouth to distinguish tastes and their surroundings, so snakes can detect subtle tastes." ”

"Holy!" Lantern Xiao slapped me heavily, "Zhuo Ran, I didn't see it!" Little Doctor, you! ”

Kong Xue next to me also had an admiring expression, which greatly satisfied my vanity. "How do you know this?"

I smiled, "When I was in middle school, the biology teacher was very beautiful, and I worked hard to learn this knowledge in order to be a biology class representative, so I didn't use it!" ”

Lantern Xiao pointed at me and gave me a thumbs up, and the worship on Kong Xue's face instantly turned into disgust, "Learn a knowledge, it's all wrong!" ”

"But I couldn't figure out who had put this liquid in that burial chamber. Could it be that the builders used it to defend against those snakes, and the rest was sealed in that burial chamber? Lantern Xiao said suspiciously.

Kong Xue listened and nodded, "It's also possible that there were tomb robbers who came here before us, and the liquid brought them?" ”

"It's all possible, but I'm afraid no one knows the answer. But fortunately, this thing is really good, but it's a pity that I can find some more! I said.

"Shall we look and see if there is that liquid in this burial chamber." Kong Xue got up and proposed.

"By the way," I remembered, "I saw two large clay pots in the middle of this burial chamber, and you think there would be that snake-proof liquid in them?" ”

As we spoke, several of us gathered around the middle of the burial chamber. There, there were two large crockpots, each with a lid sealed, but each with a small hole in the lid. The three of us stared at the two jars.

"How? Do you want to open it? Kong Xue asked with a deep groan.

I gritted my teeth, "I'll come!" I reached out and lifted the lid of the pot.

Unexpectedly, this Lantern Festival was silent, and kept frowning and examining the two jars. Just when my hand was about to touch the lid, Lantern Xiao's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Stop!" This jar must not be moved! ”
