Chapter 106: The King Snake
The space around the exit is much wider than the passage, and can accommodate several people standing side by side.
Zhang Fat finally didn't have to continue to move forward in that difficult posture, he straightened up and patted his big belly that had been tightening, and let out a long breath.
Ye Feng poked his head out of the cave and couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at it.
The hole was open in a standing wall, and it was pitch black outside, so that it was impossible to see how high it was or how deep it was below.
How could there be such a deep space underground? How deep did they dig to build the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?
Zhang Fat Man poked his head out to look outside, and he was also speechless, he reached out and threw the torch in his hand down the wall, and the little bit of fire kept falling downward, and soon drowned in the darkness, not knowing how deep it was below.
Fat Zhang couldn't help but shudder and asked, "It's so high, what is the place down there?"
Sun Lao Er replied without raising his head: "That's where we are going." ”
Zhang Fatzi felt that this was nonsense, snorted and asked, "Then how should we go down?"
Sun Lao Er didn't speak, but just squatted down at the entrance of the cave, and by the light of the torch, everyone saw that on the ground in front of him, there was a big iron ring with the thickness of an arm.
This big iron ring was obviously nailed here before, and Sun Lao Er gently stroked it, looking full of emotion, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.
Ye Feng was even more sure of his previous thoughts in his heart, this second son must have entered the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum before!
He could easily find the passage hidden under the big boulder, and he was so familiar with it that he knew the big iron ring here, maybe this big iron ring was set up before.
But why didn't Sun Lao Er say anything about his previous experience of entering the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?
Ye Feng couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Sun Lao Er took out a roll of hemp rope from his big cloth bag, and it was about ten zhang unfolded, I really don't know how he stuffed such a big roll of things into this cloth bag.
Sun Lao Er tied one end of the hemp rope firmly to the big iron ring, and the other end was thrown out of the hole, and it seemed that they needed to climb down the hemp rope.
Sun Lao Er took the lead and walked to the entrance of the cave, he turned around and said to everyone: "Follow me, don't move after you go down, there are many snakes below." ”
When the fat man heard this, his whole body shook, and his fat face was squeezed into a bitter word: "Snake, why snake?" It can be seen that he has a deep fear of snakes.
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you afraid of snakes?" I remember that you used to be full of praise for the snake meat soup in Guangdong. ”
The fat man said with a sad face: "I love to eat snake meat, but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid of live snakes! Those snakes are soft and slippery, oops, it's really disgusting!"
Ye Feng shook his head, since he was a child, this is the first time he has heard that Zhang Fatzi will be afraid of snakes. However, Zhang Fatzi grew up in the capital of the Jiangnan water town, and he didn't have much chance to see a real live snake.
Zhang Fatzi twisted and dragged at the end of the line, until everyone had gone down the hemp rope, and then he hesitated to grab the hemp rope and crawl down.
The hemp rope is not thick, and in order to avoid being too heavy, the interval between them climbing down is still relatively long. Therefore, when Ye Feng started to climb down in front of Zhang Fatzi, most of the rest of the team should have reached the ground.
Ye Feng went down the rope, this hemp rope is very soft and tough, by no means as rough as ordinary hemp rope, I really don't know what it is woven with.
Another point is that Ye Feng feels that the wall in front of him is clearly artificially built, and it is by no means a naturally formed stone wall, the entire wall is made of loess mixed with other things, which is very hard, and there is no grass on this wall, but it feels cold and abnormal.
What kind of huge project was it to build such a huge wall? I really don't know how those craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty did it back then?
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and his eyes gradually lit up, it was the light of the torches in the hands of those people below, and he knew that it was not far from the ground, so he increased his speed.
When he put his feet on the ground, he let out a long breath, turned around, and was about to speak, but realized that something was wrong with the situation in front of him.
All the people stood silently and solemnly at this moment, holding torches and not daring to move, like clay sculptures and wood carvings.
Ye Feng felt strange in his heart, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly understood.
On a small mound not far in front of everyone, there was a snake with a dark and shiny body coiled at this moment!
This snake is the thickness of a fist, and it is also very long, estimated to be nearly a zhang long, with a triangular head, and you can tell at a glance that it is a highly venomous snake. At the moment, it was shaking its head high, hissing and sticking out its tongue in the direction where the people were standing, as if on guard.
Ye Feng was taken aback when he saw such a big snake at first glance, and was about to speak, when Sun Laoer's voice came from his ears: "Don't move, don't move!"
His whole body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't dare to move.
Sun Lao Er whispered in a deep voice: "This is a big mountain mark, I like to eat other poisonous snakes, it is extremely poisonous, and it will die if you bite it." ”
When everyone heard this, they even froze their breath.
Sun Lao Er continued: "But snakes are almost blind, their eyesight is extremely poor, they can't see anything, they rely on their tongues to feel the heat to judge the activities of the prey around them, they should feel us now, as long as we don't move, it doesn't feel threatened, and it's fine." ”
It turns out that the snake can't see it? Everyone is relieved in their hearts, but is it just so deadlocked? If the snake doesn't move, we can't move, so how long will it be like this?
Everyone was thinking about it, but the hemp rope on the wall behind them suddenly moved.
The hemp rope swayed back and forth, rubbing against the wall to make a gurgling sound, and everyone remembered that Zhang Fatzi, the last member of the team, was climbing down the hemp rope at this time.
The poisonous snake clearly felt the movement and sound here, tilted its head, and its flat neck suddenly became swollen, constantly swallowing its tongue, staring at this side viciously.
At this time, the fat man slowly climbed down with his fat buttocks, and complained loudly in his mouth: "This hellish place, high and steep, it's really tiring to death, so many people, no one will come to help, take a handful?"
Ye Feng stood under the hemp rope, seeing that the situation was not right, he turned around and held the fat buttocks of the fat man, pinched it hard, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!"
"Hey-yo......" Zhang Fat Man was pinched hard by Ye Feng, screaming in pain, just screaming halfway, suddenly felt that the situation was wrong, and swallowed back the second half of the bar, grabbed the hemp rope with both hands, curled up and hung on it, didn't dare to move, lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Feng didn't care about answering him.
The viper had already sensed the commotion here, and its head shook a few times, and it was about to pounce on it!
Everyone's hearts are all cold, this big mountain mark is also known as the king snake, feeding on other poisonous snakes, extremely domineering, even if Tang Da, who has strong martial arts in this group of people, can't help but feel terrified when he sees this snake.
That's when it happened
, but suddenly there was a sound of swaying on the side, as if some animal was coming.
After a while, from the darkness on the side, a small guy slowly walked over, not very big, dressed in gray-white fur, a big tail that occupies half the length of the whole body, small eyes and pointed mouth, looking up at a somewhat cute little head and sniffing, while walking slowly towards the poisonous snake with short limbs.
It looked quite cute, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for it as it walked towards the king snake.
At this time, the king snake suddenly changed.
The originally high head was also lowered, and the swollen neck was also returned to its original flatness, and it seemed that it was a little nervous and kept sticking out its tongue in the direction where the little animal came, and it seemed that he was still a little scared.
Then the little creature saw the king snake too, and it arched its back, its hair stood on end, and its mouth let out a low roar.
And the king snake lay on the ground, staring at the little guy in front of him and seemed to dare not move.
This scene made everyone on the side couldn't help but be amazed, what is this little guy who still looks a little cute? Why is the fierce and domineering king snake so afraid of it, it is like a mouse meeting a cat?
However, at this time, the little guy saw that the king snake in front of him was just lying on his stomach obediently, and jumped in front of it, let out a low roar, and went to tease the king snake instead.
Everyone was shocked, and they were all worried about this little guy.
The king snake dodged a few times at first, and then seemed to be provoked by the little one, and the front half of its body suddenly stood up, and its neck swelled again, and made a whirring sound, and pounced on the little one like lightning again and again, as if trying to bite it to death.
However, this little guy looks small, but his skills are extremely flexible, and every time the king snake almost bites it, it is thrillingly dodged.
The king snake missed several times in a row, and it looked a little exhausted, and its movements became more and more sluggish.
At this time, the little one suddenly dodged to the back of the king snake, flew up violently, opened his mouth and bit the king snake's neck from behind, and the action was as fast as lightning, and everyone was amazed.
The king snake was suddenly bitten in the neck and shook it twice, as if it wanted to throw the little guy off, but the little guy just wouldn't let go.
After a while, the king snake fell limply, flipped a few times, and then fell silent.
Only then did the little guy begin to enjoy the feast unhurriedly.
Its teeth were very sharp, and it easily bit through the hard scales of the king snake's skin, and it tore open the snake's skin very easily, and began to bite and eat the red snake flesh.
Everyone saw the skills of this little guy and this bloody scene, and couldn't help but feel shocked, they couldn't imagine that such a cute and cute little guy would be so powerful, this king snake had no power to fight back in front of it, and it became a delicious meal in its mouth.
The little one buried his head and nibbled for a long time, as if he had eaten enough, and then he raised his head, stood up and looked around.
Seeing a group of people with torches standing in a daze, it seemed to look curiously for a long time, and finally turned around, dropped the remains of the king snake, and disappeared into the darkness with its short legs contentedly.
Everyone watched the little guy's figure disappear in a daze, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fatzi, who had been holding on to the hemp rope and straightened his body and hung in mid-air, dared to relax his body at this time, and suddenly his big ass moved and let out a loud fart!
