Suddenly, the furry little guy stood on end like a hedgehog and screamed at the huge white snake.

Ye Feng on the side was taken aback, and they couldn't help but feel worried about this little guy.

Even if, as Sun Lao Er said, this kind of meerkat specializes in feeding on poisonous snakes and is the natural enemy of poisonous snakes, even if it easily killed the black king snake before, but in the face of this incomparably huge monster-like white snake in front of it, I am afraid it is definitely not an opponent.

Its cry clearly stimulated the white snake, and the white snake's neck swelled again, staring at the little guy in front of him viciously, as if trying to swallow it in one gulp.

The little guy stared at the behemoth in front of him but had no fear, and let out two more screams in succession, as if he was provoking, and as if he were a warning.

The white snake did not take the initiative to attack, as if it had become a little nervous, and the snake letter in its mouth kept stretching and contracting, and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, Ye Feng and the others also heard that from the darkness around them, there was a slight sound of squeezing, as if something was moving.

After a while, from the darkness in all directions, a lot of little ones slowly came out, approached this side, and surrounded the huge white snake in the center.

These gray meerkats are densely packed, there are more than a hundred, their coat color is slightly darker than the previous one, except that they are almost identical, they are all small eyes and sharp mouths, all of them have erect hair at the moment, and they make a low whining sound at the mouth of the white snake.

Such a lineup is really spectacular, which made Ye Feng and them breathtaking, and Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but sigh: "This is the whole family going into battle! It seems that there are really a lot of people in this family!"

The white snake also seemed to feel a little nervous, coiled its body up, curled up in the center, raised its head, and looked vigilantly at the group of little ones around it, and hissed like a warning in its mouth.

There was a stalemate for a moment, but it was the group of little ones who made the first move.

The gray-haired one, which seemed to be the leader, let out a low cry, and some of the gray mongooses around couldn't help but rush towards the white snake.

The white snake was not afraid at all, and as soon as its tail was raised, it swept towards these little guys who pounced.

The little ones were unusually nimble, leaping and moving, and they all avoided the snake's tail's attack. There are also those who didn't have time to dodge, and were hit by the power of the white snake with a sweep, and suddenly flew out, falling far away, and they couldn't survive if they thought about it.

But the rest of the little ones were not only not intimidated, but seemed to be enraged, screaming one by one, and all of them rushed towards the white snake without fear.

The huge tail of the white snake swept several times, knocking away many meerkats that pounced on them, but there were too many of these little guys, one after another, they couldn't sweep them at all, and after a while, they were drowned by these little guys who came up like a tide.

These gray meerkats have extremely sharp claws, and although the scales on the surface of the white snake's body are extremely hard, even Tang Da's hidden weapon can't do anything about it, but they can use their sharp claws to insert between the gaps in the scales, and climb up along the white snake's body, as if walking on the ground.

Their claws tore through the scales of the white snake and plunged into its flesh, and in a few moments, the white body of the white snake was stained red with a trace of blood.

The white snake was in pain, twisted its body desperately, shook off the meerkat that was clinging to it, and opened its bloody mouth, biting several meerkats in a row, but the rest of them were still jumping up desperately, and some of them were anxious not to wait to climb up, they opened their mouths directly, and began to bite the body of the white snake nearby.

After a while, the huge body of the white snake was torn into a bloody blur, which was shocking.

The white snake didn't seem to have much to do with the troublesome little ones in front of it, and it made a shrill sound from its mouth and began to roll on the ground with a curling sound.

(Snakes don't have vocal cords and can't make a sound, but some snakes can inflate their necks and make noises by squeezing their muscles to warn their opponents, but they don't count as calls.) ）

Its thick, heavy body rolled and crushed many of the meerkats clinging to it, crushing its bones and bones to pieces, and its flesh and blood blurred.

However, more meerkats relied on their agile skills, jumped dexterously to dodge the white snake's tumbling, and waited for the opportunity to pounce on it again to continue biting.

The white snake fought with these little ones for about a quarter of an hour, and gradually seemed to be a little exhausted, and the tumbling motion became slower and slower.

At this moment, although the corpses of those gray mongooses are already everywhere, but after all, this is only a few, and there are still a large number of little guys who are still attacking the white snake like a tide.

Just when Ye Feng was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, Tang Da on the side reached out and pulled his clothes, and whispered, "Hurry up!"

Indeed, this behemoth-like white snake was no longer something they could handle, and it looked so vulnerable in front of this group of meerkats, but who knew what this group of meerkats would do next?

Will they also be hostile to these strange humans who have intruded into their territory and launch attacks?

Therefore, while the White Snake and this group of meerkats are in the midst of a fierce battle, it is the best policy to sneak away and leave here.

So Tang Da clasped his hands full of hidden weapons, in case of contingency, behind Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi set up Xie Zhenliang, who did not know martial arts, and a group of four people tiptoed, not daring to make a sound, but they quickly bypassed the white snake and the group of gray monerkats who were in the midst of a fierce battle, and fled here quickly along the road they came.

As they ran into the corridor leading to the upper dungeon, the angry screams of the white snake could be faintly heard behind them.

It wasn't until they came out of the secret door that Ye Feng and the others felt a little calmer.

For everything that happened just now, Ye Feng still felt a little incredulous, and muttered a little: "What is that white snake just now, how could it be so huge?"

Tang Da knew a little about the habits of snakes, and replied: "It should be a giant snake just now, maybe it is a mutation of the king snake." Usually the larger the size of the snake, the longer the lifespan. And snakes molt three or four times a year, and as the number of molts increases, the color slowly fades. Judging from the size and color of the white snake just now, it has survived for at least hundreds of years. ”

Ye Feng was taken aback: "Hundreds of years, how is this possible?"

Tang Da shook his head and said: "It is very common for large snakes to live for decades, I have heard that someone has raised a giant snake and lived for more than a hundred years. ”

"Besides," he said in a deep voice, "we just came out of the tomb of the First Emperor, and we saw such a huge crypt, such a magical building, what else is impossible?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but be silent.

Indeed, after passing through the natural huge underground cavern just now, the labyrinth composed of many stone chambers driven by huge underground mechanisms, the mysterious unknown creatures in the locked dragon well, the iron puppets in the square that automatically attack the intruder, and the tomb that can make people hallucinate in the heart.

After all this unexplainable things, what else is impossible for a giant snake that has lived for hundreds of years to appear here?

Zhang Fatzi on the side still felt incredible, and said in disbelief: "In myths and legends, snakes live for 500 years to be Jiao, and Jiao lives for 1,000 years to turn into dragons.

Tang Da said slowly: "The theory of Jiaolong is just a legend in mythological stories, no one has ever seen it, and its prototype is very likely to be such a rare giant snake that has lived for hundreds of years. ”

He turned to Zhang Fatzi and asked, "Do you know about the legend of the candle dragon?"

Zhang Fatzi is full of ancient books, for this kind of gods and strange ambitions are like a number of treasures, Tang Da's question is to ask his strengths, and immediately replied: "The legend of the candle dragon is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", its eyes are obscure, and its vision is clear. No food, no sleep, no rest, wind and rain are admonishable. It is the candle nine yin, and it is called the candle dragon. ”

"This describes the candle dragon as a god-like existence, able to control day and night, calling wind and rain, too miraculous. About its prototype, there are many sayings since ancient times, one of which is that it is actually a kind of giant snake in ancient times, rich in oil, the ancients hunted it to take its fat and burn it, it can not be extinguished for several days, it is said to be able to illuminate the land of nine yin, so it is called candle nine yin. ”

(Regarding the legend of the candle dragon, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" describes the god of the human head snake body or the human head dragon body, living in the extremely cold place of Zhangwei Mountain in the north, opening the eyes is day, closing the eyes is night, blowing is winter, exhaling is summer.)

Later generations of various records are also based on the use of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, about the candle dragon is hunted by people to boil the lamp oil of the giant snake, but it is a modern episode, all kinds of historical materials are not mentioned, no source. ）

Tang Da nodded, seemingly satisfied with Zhang Fatzi's knowledge, and continued: "Since the theory about the candle dragon is very likely to be a giant snake in ancient times, then we can assume that in fact, the legend about the dragon evolved from the giant snake. ”

"At the end of Qin, there was a legend that Gaozu of the Han Dynasty beheaded the White Snake Uprising, although Gaozu claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor and killed the son of the White Emperor, this statement is somewhat nonsense, and he is suspected of putting gold on his face, but this matter may not necessarily be fictional. What Gao Zu encountered back then is very likely to be the white giant snake we see today!"

"If it weren't for that," Tang Da asked to Fat Zhang, "what kind of monster do you think it would be trapped under that locked dragon well?"

Zhang Fatzi bowed his head and was silent, if it was in the past, he would probably scoff at such a statement, but just now, he witnessed the dignity of the white giant snake, and he really had no confidence to refute it.

At this time, Xie Zhenliang on the side spoke: "Whether it is a snake or a dragon, we finally came out safely." It's not good to stay here for a long time, I think we'd better hurry up and go!"

was reminded by his words, Zhang Fatzi hurriedly nodded: "Exactly, exactly, let's go quickly." ”

Their singing and harmony made Ye Feng's heart move.

He suddenly remembered the corpses of the sergeants he had seen all over the ground before the Broken Dragon Stone.

Mo Qizhong is not wrong, it seems that it is not the people of the Jiangnan Ming family who are before the broken dragon stone, but the imperial army led by Zhao Zongru, the prefect of Xi'an!

In this way, then it is very likely that the other words he said are also true, everything here today has actually been arranged a long time ago, and every step Ye Feng took was all in the calculations of others!

He raised his head and looked at the familiar faces of the two righteous brothers Zhang Fat Man and Xie Zhenliang in front of him, and suddenly he had a strange feeling, as if he didn't know them at all.

According to Mo Qizhong, the reason why the army led by Zhao Zongru was able to reach the Broken Dragon Stone smoothly all the way was because his good righteous brother left a mark along the way to guide the way.

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Fatzi, and suddenly asked a very strange question: "Let's go, where are we going?"

Everyone couldn't understand what Ye Feng meant, Zhang Fatzi smiled a little reluctantly, and asked, "Fourth, you were scared stupid just now?" Of course we are going out now and leaving the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!"

Ye Feng's face was expressionless, and he even continued to ask a little dullly: "With the army led by Lord Zhao guarding outside, are we still going out?"
