Chapter 65: A Strange Phenomenon
For a moment, there was silence in the cave, only the sizzling of snakes. However, these snakes don't know why, but they have never taken the initiative to attack.
"What should I do?" asked Wan Long.
They had thought that they would encounter one or two or a few snakes, but no one expected that it would be a group of snakes that are estimated to be no less than a few hundred.
Moreover, they don't have the strength to deal with these snakes yet. In particular, there are several Nile snakes among them.
Lao Dao said unwillingly: "Do you want us to go back empty-handed like this?"
I've already arrived here, I've seen treasures, and I even know that it's worth a lot, but no one is willing to go back like this.
"What then?" Wan Long glared at the old knife.
The old knife glared back unconvinced, and he just said what everyone was thinking.
However, Wan Long also understood his feelings, and didn't say anything other than glaring at him.
Everyone looked at the snakes quietly, everyone knew that there was a treasure in it, but no one had the courage to take it.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Zi opened his mouth and asked, "Are you leaving?" Wan Long looked at the group of snakes, still unwilling, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Go!"
As he spoke, no one could simply turn around, and his steps seemed to be nailed to the ground, but he refused to turn around.
"Chirp ......" a crisp birdsong.
Strange, how can there be birds in this place? As soon as everyone turned around, the little bird with white feathers fluttered its wings and flew over. After a spin, it landed on the small tip of the snake's fangs in the group.
What happens when a bird falls into a flock of snakes? I hear a terrible chirp, and the snakes attack the snake, and the poor bird only screams and is eaten into the belly of the snake.
"How can this bird be so stupid as to fly into the snake pile......" said the old knife, looking at the scene in front of him.
Zhang Zi nodded in agreement.
Wan Long suddenly shouted: "I understand!"
"What?" everyone looked at him.
"Snake teeth attract birds, so these snakes will grow, otherwise they will starve to death...... Wan Long said excitedly.
"Are you trying to starve these snakes to death?" Luo Zixing asked with a twisted eyebrow.
Qi Jiu looked at the group of snakes, although he was very scared, but he still said: "It doesn't seem to work, there are so many snakes here, they won't work for a while, and there is nothing for us to eat here, maybe we are in danger if we don't starve them to death." ”
Zhang Zi also said: "Xiao Jiu is right, and what if they go crazy and attack us?"
"Perhaps......" Luo Zixing said hesitantly, and everyone looked at him.
"We caught the birds and put them out of the pit to see why they didn't come out of the pit. Luo Zixing proposed. From the moment they came in, the snakes spotted them, but for some reason, they just watched them and none of them came out to attack.
The crowd had no objection to his proposal, and several began to wait for another bird to come in. There weren't many birds flying in the area, but maybe they were lucky enough to see another bird flying in before long.
Wan Long reached out and grabbed the poor bird, and Luo Zixing immediately stepped forward and cut two cuts with a knife and threw it to the edge of the pit.
This move obviously stimulated the snakes, but Luo Zixing threw it right out of their reach.
The snakes began to become agitated, perhaps because they had not eaten for a long time and were very hungry, and one of the snakes began to swim out.
Luo Zixing and Wan Long stared at it to see what kind of changes would happen, the edge of the pit was slowly coming up, like a river bank, and even very gently, and the snake quickly crawled out.
was already about to come out, Luo Zixing's eyes didn't blink, and the others held their breath as if they were afraid of scaring the snake.
Gradually, the head of the snake came out, and then the body......
When the serpent came out completely, and the serpent letter was almost reaching the bird, the mutation abruptly appeared.
As if a high temperature suddenly rose from the ground, smoke suddenly rose from the snake's body, and then it turned directly into charcoal.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What is the situation? Luo Zixing leaned down and went to test the ground, it was damp and cold, and there was no sign of high temperature at all, and even Luo Zixing began to wonder if the snake had suddenly appeared in his body with a high temperature and then spontaneously combusted.
But apparently this speculation is even more unfounded.
"What's going on?" Wan Long wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the snake pit, no wonder it didn't come out, this time it turned into coke.
The others reacted the same as Luo Zixing, they all went to test the temperature of the ground, but it was just an ordinary cave environment, damp and cold, and there was nothing surprising at all.
The old knife drew his own knife, scooped up a little dirt and threw it into the snake pit.
"What are you doing?" Wan Long saw his movements, and when he tried to stop it, it was too late, and the dirt had already reached the pit.
But nothing has changed in the group of snakes.
"It seems that the problem is not in this thing, it should be in the position. Luo Zixing looked at the snake pit thoughtfully.
Qi Jiu took a step forward, looked at the snake pit with a sense of fear, and said softly, "Could it be something like a formation?"
Formations are rarer than poisoners in this world, and legend has it that there were only powerful formation mages in the past, and now they are basically lost. Will it be here?
But looking at the serpentine coke on the ground, I really can't think of anything other than this.
Zhang Zi said with some excitement: "If we find a way to lure the snake out, will we be able to get the snake teeth?"
This method is good, but when several people sum up the possibilities, they still shake their heads.
Wan Long said disappointedly: "It's too difficult, it is estimated that they will not come out like this even if they starve to death, after all, looking at their reactions, I am afraid that I don't know how many years have been here, and there will be a certain amount of avoidance of this." Otherwise, you see so many snakes here, but the birds are only one occasionally, and they never come out. ”
What Bandung said is true. I'm afraid that cannibalism should be indispensable here, but it is obvious that there are only a very few snakes like the one just now, at least now, there is also that snake crawling out, although the others are in a state of anxiety, but none of them come out, especially a few Nile snakes, and they don't even move.
"Do you still have snake repellent medicine?" Luo Zixing asked as he looked at the crowd, rummaging through his body, but there was nothing at all.
Qi Jiu found a bag on himself, and didn't ask Luo Zixing what he was doing, and handed it over to him directly.
Although the others were strange, they still tried their best to find all over their bodies, and they actually made up a few packs, all of which went to Luo Zixing's hands.
Wan Long looked at the medicine in his hand and asked, "What do you want to do?"
