"Don't!"

I stretched out my hand, froze, and watched as the hemp rope in the stone bowl lit up, then brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a small flame that lit up our space.

"What?" The fat man turned back to me and asked.

"Forget it!" I withdrew my hand, and I smelled an indescribable smell in my nose, but I didn't feel anything uncomfortable.

The stone bowl was originally an oil lamp, and I stopped the fat man, just worried that there was material in the lamp oil.

Now, it seems, worry is unnecessary.

With the light, everyone turned off the flashlight in their hands, and in the dim light, it looked a little warm.

It's a bit like when I was in the country, when my grandfather lit an oil lamp and sat at the table and laboriously helped me sew buttons.

My childhood memories are a little blurry, and I can't even remember what my grandfather looked like.

As long as I talk about my grandfather, my mind is always the face of my master.

I stared at the stone bowl.

Tang Lian took out an apple from her backpack and handed it to me.

"Apples?" I was a little surprised, "Where did you come from?"

"I bought them in Gongtou Township, and there are two more." Tang Lian took out another one to show me as if offering a treasure.

When I looked up, it seemed that a few of the other guys had also taken out apples, cut them with knives, and shared them among everyone.

"Cut it, we're one and a half!" I said.

Tang Lian smiled and took out her dagger, "You have taken it!" She said.

I held the apple with both hands, Tang Lian was everything from top to bottom, and the apple was divided into two halves.

"You're fast enough." I took a bite and said, looking at the dagger in Tang Lian's hand.

I've seen Tang Zuo and they used it before, but they didn't want to come and see it.

Tang Lian looked back and forth, "It's a magic weapon, after carving a charm, it sharpens iron like clay!" Brush up!"

Tang Lian waved it twice, giggled, put away the dagger, took half an apple and ate it.

We sat in a small space surrounded by stone pillars.

It was quiet, the temperature was still very high, and a few guys even took off their sweaters and stuffed them into their bags.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, a scream was heard, shattering the rare silence here.

I stood up abruptly and looked in one direction.

Tang Zuo and the others also stood up vigilantly, "It's those people in front!"

The fat man said, "Have you been eaten by Gu worms again?"

The mustache they were very nervous because one of their companions had just died.

"Pack up!" I said, eating the apple in a few bites, and took out a yellow paper talisman from my backpack, and when it was burned, the ashes floated to one end, "Keep up, don't be left behind!"

I didn't look for the place where the cry had just come from, even if I wanted to find the South Asians, I didn't look for it.

The terrain here is strange and complicated, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.

I pulled Tang Lian, and the others followed behind, walking briskly around the stone pillars.

However, my thoughts are good, but reality always gives an unexpected answer.

Just as I heard the sound of gurgling water, there was a sudden screech of footsteps right in front of us.

I motioned for everyone to stop, put out the flashlight, and lean against the pillar to hide.

After a while, I saw a person running over in a panic, sweaty and panicked!

I haven't seen this person, but judging from his nostrils and wide forehead, it means that South Asians can't run!

He looked back as he ran, as if something terrible was chasing him behind him.

He ran up to us and stopped, shining back and forth with a flashlight, looking for a way out.

However, a grimace suddenly appeared in front of him, which frightened him into a "whoosh", turned around and ran, and hit the stone pillar, fell to the ground, and wailed.

But the fear outweighed the pain, and he actually endured it

In pain, he picked up the flashlight by his arm and limped inside.

The fat man put down the grimacing hand on his face, "It didn't scare him out!"

I walked out and patted him, "Everyone, don't move yet, I'm afraid there's something up ahead."

As soon as I had finished saying this, there were footsteps and cries of fear in front of me, and we disappeared into darkness again.

As the sound of stumbling footsteps and heavy wheezing drew closer, two men appeared.

They ran in this direction, flashlights flickering in the darkness.

A man ran out, and the fat man tried to do it again, but before he could make a face, the man turned and ran to the other end.

And the man behind him, shouting something in his mouth, ran here and ran into the other end in a panic.

There shouldn't be anyone behind!

We came out of hiding again, three people in a row running like this, there must be something ahead.

"You ......wait here," I was just halfway through my sentence when I suddenly heard a "squirming" sound in my ears.

We all stopped moving, listening carefully.

It's just that the movement is getting louder and closer, and I suddenly wake up, "Run!"

I shouted, pulled Tang Lian to turn around and run. The fat man, they followed me and ran back as fast as they could.

A huge python appeared where we had just left, the body of a snake with the thickness of a water tank, swimming back and forth between the stone pillars.

The snake hyacinth spits out a foot long, with a big tongue, lantern-like eyes, and a dangerous aura, constantly chasing us.

I pulled Tang Lian and ran away, not caring about the people behind me at all, I just hoped that they wouldn't lose it.

Someone scolded the street, someone fell, the group was in a mess, and in the end, we separated in a panic.

When I felt safer and stopped, I found that Tang Lian and I were only followed by Tang Zuo and the fat man, and the others were gone.

"What about them?" I asked, gasping for breath.

Tang Zuo and the fat man leaned against the stone pillar and gasped, looked back, and shook their heads, "No, I don't know!"

"I didn't see it!"

"I'm tired!"

"Holy!"

We all sat down on the ground, even Tang Lian retched twice, took out the water and took a sip, and handed it to me, I drank it, and handed it to the fat man and Tang Zuo.

We sat here and rested for a while, finally relieving our breath.

"Meridian, do you see what it is?" The fat man only had time to ask me at this time.

"You trust me too much!" I laughed, "Run after me if you don't see anything?"

"Doesn't that believe you? You said you ran away, there must be something you can't deal with!" The fat man said as a matter of course.

Tang Zuo also nodded, "That's right!"

Tang Lian tugged at my arm, "What do you see?"

I recalled, at that time, I saw a huge black shadow coming towards us between the stone pillars, and I felt a shiver all over my body that I had never felt before.

This feeling is our innate perception of danger.

It shows that this thing, whether it is a terrible thing or something else, is an extremely dangerous existence for me.

I'm like that, not to mention the others, not to mention not opponents at all.

"A huge dark shadow!" I said, "It's terrible!"

"Terrible?" The fat man frowned and asked, "Not really! You can even kill a thousand years of bloody evil, then it's not a terrible evil, then what will it be?"

He turned his head to look at Tang Zuo, and Tang Zuo also looked at him, "It's useless for you to look at me, I don't see it!"

I suddenly had a feeling that it wasn't terrible, then, what was that long black shadow?

Don't......

"It's a snake!" I blurted out, "A giant serpent!"
