Chapter 122: The Belly of the Mountain God (2)
At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
Jiang Xian's gaze met behind him, and in a layer of ice, a huge head was facing him.
Two turquoise eyes, black scales all over the body, only the movement of the eyeballs, you can see that it is still a living thing.
Above its nose, it is covered with ice, and after its head, it is completely integrated into the ice. A nail dragon stake can be seen in its mouth, holding its mouth so hard that it can't close. Rows of sharp teeth, already frozen into ice prisms.
For some reason, Jiang Xian was not afraid in his heart, but had a sense of happiness.
Fortunately...... Fortunately, it is not the white snake in the underground palace of the First Emperor, and this black is even its disciple...... If it was a white snake, he didn't want to turn around and run.
"——!!" At this moment, an exclamation sounded from Jiang Xian's side. Ling Xiaozi also walked out at some point, and beside him, there were several exploration team members. At this moment, they all watched this scene in amazement.
"OMG!!" As more and more members of the exploration team walked out, exclamations came one after another, but fortunately, Jiang Xian greeted him in advance, and his voice was relatively restrained. But no one can deny that at the moment of turning back, the fear of being energized all over the body instantly filled the whole body, and the chicken skin exploded layer by layer, and the words for the rest of the life after the catastrophe appeared very clearly in my mind.
Knock - there are timid team members, who are already sitting on the ground with their legs limp and slumping, pointing behind them and trembling. There was only one thought in everyone's mind: just ...... We're actually in the belly of this big snake?!
We...... Walked hundreds of meters in the belly of a giant snake? We...... Are you still alive?
"What the fuck ......" a member of the team in his forties lit a cigarette tremblingly and took a hard puff: "This time we want to get out alive, enough for us to blow for a lifetime......"
"But...... Why is it still alive?! One of the team members said in disbelief: "This state should have died a long time ago!" ”
Of course, because of how the fruit ...... Jiang Xian and Ling Xiaozi glanced at each other and coughed lightly: "Silence!" ”
The main heart spoke, and everyone's eyes looked over. Jiang Xian said lightly: "The world is full of wonders. This is outside the scope of our investigation. Our real goal is only the other side! ”
"I took a closer look just now, and there is actually a road in the water." He pointed into the water, and with his fingers, everyone could see that there were several places where the obvious water lines were refracted strangely.
"Icicles?" Ling Xiaozi squinted his eyes for a few seconds and said in a deep voice.
Icicles indeed.
However, these icicles are cleverly constructed, and they are all hidden beneath the lotus leaves. If you don't pay attention, you can't find it at all.
However, no one proposed to go first. Perhaps the team members here have deep and shallow qualifications, but the shallowest ones are also experts in survival in the wild. They are well aware of one thing - this river, there are definitely ghosts.
The river is fifteen or sixteen meters deep, and the bottom is covered with white bones, and rookies may think that this is the big snake that ate it and spit it out. But...... The serpent's mouth was pinned open, and its tongue was covered in ice. It can't spit out even if it eats it!
"Did you fall?" Ling Xiaozi squatted by the river and said in a deep voice.
"Nope." Jiang Xian stared at the bottom of the lake and said solemnly: "Beasts have a natural intuition about where to drink water, what water can be bathed and what water cannot be approached, they know better than humans. ”
Ling Xiaozi thought for a moment: "I've heard that wild beasts choose to commit suicide when they know that they are going to die, maybe they go into the river to commit suicide?" ”
Jiang Xian nodded and shook his head again.
Ling Xiaozi's statement made sense, but he always felt a little weird. He turned to the people behind him and said, "Go, let the people above drop half the sheep." ”
The team members took the order. Jiang Xian didn't get up, this river is nearly a thousand meters long, more than 100 meters wide, and more than 200 meters above the ground, it is definitely a moat for them to cross. If he doesn't figure it out, he'd rather not go.
His eyes kept moving between the river and the other bank, and suddenly, his mind lit up, and he stood up and said, "I know! ”
"You see, these carcasses are cows, sheep, these are vegetarian animals. After they were put down......"
Ling Xiaozi took a deep breath and said with a clear heart: "They were hungry, they saw the tree opposite, and instinctively drove them into the water, but they didn't expect it to be ice water, drowning in it?" ”
This is the best explanation...... Jiang Xian nodded, however, he didn't let his guard down - he was waiting for the team members who took the sheep to come back.
Time passed slowly, and after ten minutes, the prospector ran back again, but did not get the sheep.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xian frowned and asked.
The team member smiled bitterly: "Brother Jiang, there really isn't." I've asked several times. It's a bit far from Duck Pass, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and there is no bait prepared on it. And...... The people who asked the duck col did not have cattle or sheep. ”
Jiang Xian reacted immediately, it was not long after the dwarf spirit sacrifice, not to mention the duck pass, maybe the cattle and sheep in the surrounding area for more than ten miles had been scavenged by them.
Sighing, he turned around and said, "Everyone prepares." ”
The stern gaze swept over the team members one by one, his voice was not heavy, but there was a force that could not be refused: "Everyone, everyone is a part of Shenzhou." ”
No one expected that he would say this. However, no one questioned it out loud - when Jiang Xian came out of the First Emperor's underground palace alive, not to mention these people on the scene, even the older generation, few dared to interject in front of him.
"The treatment in China is the best, and there are all kinds of insurance. If you get the benefits, you have to work. Now, it's time for everyone to work hard. ”
"I need three brothers to find their way, who wants to go?"
In silence, everyone, you look at me, I look at you. Eventually, the three young men raised their hands: "Me! ”
Jiang Xian nodded, and everyone got out of the way. The three of them walked to the river, took a deep breath, and jumped forward with all their might.
The lotus leaves were very large and grew very densely, and the three of them jumped on top of one lotus leaf accurately. Then he immediately half-crouched down and tried to keep his balance, while his eyes looked around vigilantly.
Three seconds later, a young man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded toward the shore. Then he jumped again and jumped to the lotus leaf in front of him.
Like three little frogs, they jumped one after another, and soon jumped twenty meters. At this moment, a third of the ice age has passed.
Call...... The tense heart had been relieved, and one of the team members wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead. Take a deep breath and jump forward with all your might.
Boom! As before, the solid touch of the feet came. However, before he could stand up straight, in an instant, his body shook and fell into the water with a thud!
The people on the shore gasped, Ling Xiaozi walked a few steps forward quickly, staring at the center: "The icicle is cracked...... Swim back! If not, find icicles and stand on them! ”
The icicles on the shore are solid, and the ones in the center are shattered...... An ominous premonition rushed to Jiang Xian's mind. At the moment when the icicle shattered, he did not look in the direction of the person falling into the water, but immediately looked elsewhere.
In the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted!
At the end of the glacier, something rushed out with a thud. It's like a hungry ghost smelling the blood of lost passers-by.
The speed is so fast that the river on both sides is cut through the waves, and the pitch-black dorsal fin is exposed to the water, judging from the shadow under the dorsal fin, these creatures are at least about two meters, larger than a person!
"Shoot...... Jiang Xian turned around abruptly and shouted behind him: "Shoot!" Protect them!! ”
Everyone was stunned, and then ...... Everyone saw the seven dorsal fins that rushed madly from both sides, and then they did not hesitate to take out their guns and aim them at the three people who fell into the water, which was a wild shot.
Bang bang bang! The smell of gunsmoke filled the space, however, these monsters were nimble, flicked their tails, and began to swim tightly to the bottom of the river - the bullets were more than ten meters deep in the water, and there was not much power. In the desperate eyes of the crowd, they ...... Qi Qi surrounded the three people who fell into the water.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and when these monsters did not devour their prey, everyone finally saw its true face.
It was a white fish.
Each one is about two meters long, covered with dark blue spots, and it doesn't look much different from ordinary fish, but it is a little flattened. But when it opened its mouth, it could see the rows of dagger-like teeth inside.
There was no sound in the water, and only a few monsters were seen biting the body of the man who fell into the water. Suddenly, the mouths of the three team members suddenly opened wide, and blood quickly filled the water.
Boom——! As they struggled desperately, the water shook wildly. However, within seconds, they were bitten by these fish and sank to the bottom of the water, and the blood spread like ink...... Finally, some exploration team members couldn't look at it anymore and gritted their teeth and turned their heads.
Jiang Xian pursed his lips and closed his eyes, Ling Xiaozi sighed: "What the hell is this?" ”
"Zheluo salmon ......" Jiang Xian closed his eyes and replied hoarsely: "Large cold-water carnivorous fish." In the three eastern provinces of China, there is this kind of fish for a generation...... However, the salmon we see is not the same as that of the three eastern provinces. The salmon in the three eastern provinces are not so large in size and not so ferocious in nature. ”
What to do?
It's not a pity for these three lives, but if you choose this line of work and enjoy the gold-collar treatment of Shenzhou, you have to pay the corresponding price. And, instead of grieving now, it is better to think about how to make good use of the information obtained in exchange for three lives.
Seven or eight salmon ...... There may be more, and the river is their natural hunting ground. If you want to rush hard, probably everyone will die here!
"The ...... surnamed Jiang" At this moment, Ling Xiaozi's voice trembled: "Have you seen ...... Is this kind of thing? ”
Jiang Xian opened his eyes, and the scene he saw in front of him almost made him unable to believe his eyes!
Lotus leaf ...... Lived!
When the blood spread, the lotus leaf felt as if he had heard some order. Roots stretch out from under the lotus leaves and slowly sink to the bottom of the water. Under the clear water, countless roots seemed to float with the waves, like thousands of strands of hair, floating towards the bodies of the three people!
