Chapter Twenty-One: The Snake of the Wild Ancients Who Unknown Friends and Foes
Tian Ze fluttered in the pool for a while, feeling that the pool of water was a little warm, and the burning pain of the wound on his back had been reduced a lot.
He immediately held his breath and dived into the darkness deep on the side of the pool, quietly watching the movement on the water.
After Tianze entered the water, the python seemed to have lost its senses, shaking its huge head on the surface of the pool and looking around, but it had no intention of leaving.
Tian Ze thought to himself: "Damn, I can't recite mantras and deeds underwater, even monks can't hold their breath for a long time, if this guy keeps guarding me, he will have to suffocate to death, no, I have to think of a way out quickly." ”
Tian Ze touched the wall of the waterhole and slowly moved to the left, ready to find a suitable position to rush out of the waterhole and then escape, at this time he felt the hole with his left hand and thought that the inner wall of the waterhole was scattered, and he continued to move for a while, and it didn't feel right, when his back to his buttocks were against the pool wall, he felt that a piece of the inner wall in the middle seemed to be sunken in.
Immediately, he groped around with both hands, and then probed into the depression to test the depth of the depression, and when he touched it, he couldn't see the bottom, only to feel as if there was a cave, the hole was slightly smaller, and it seemed that the space was quite large when he touched it inside, and there should be no problem to accommodate a person crawling forward.
Tian Ze glanced at the surface of the pond and found that the python was still spitting out letters on the surface of the pool, and its entire head was almost close to the surface of the pool.
In desperation, he thought to himself that he would go out and bite the bones of the corpse to death, so it was better to try to enter the dark hole, maybe there was a way to live, no matter how bad it was, it would be a drowning death, and maybe he could leave a whole corpse.
After making up his mind, Tian Ze slowly turned around, first poked his head into the dark hole, and then crawled forward with his elbows against the wall of the cave.
The whole dark cave is slightly downward, and the inside is dark, and the walls of the cave seem to be sticking to the slippery moss, which makes people feel very uncomfortable and often slippery.
Fortunately, there are no bends in this hole, and it is not so difficult to crawl, and after about a stick of incense, Tianze feels that his qi is no longer enough, and his forehead is full of green tendons.
At this time, he stretched out his hand to touch the cave wall in front of him, and felt that the front seemed to have reached a corner passage with a large angle, because now Tianze people are leaning over the ground, and his back is bent up to this waist is estimated to be unbearable, he first rolled over on his side and adjusted to lie flat, as soon as the person turned over, the back contusion hit the cave wall, bringing a feeling of colic, and one did not hold back and choked a few mouthfuls of pool water.
Because he felt that his consciousness was already a little blurred, at this time he could only speed up and arch his belly into the passage desperately, and just after the corner of his upper body, he looked up and saw a faint light about five zhang in front of him, which means that there is an exit ahead.
Tianze was like a lonely sea meeting a bright light, and his hands quickly explored the place on the cave wall that could be borrowed, but the cave wall was too slippery and when he was about to approach the entrance of the cave, he couldn't find a place to borrow strength.
At this time, Tian Ze's breath-holding time was almost at the limit, and he couldn't hold his breath in his mouth and kept exhaling bubbles, and his hand that was holding the cave wall and constantly fluttering gradually stopped.
In the confusion of consciousness, Tian Ze seemed to feel that the entire cave passage was trembling slightly, but for him now, there was no need to care about what the reason was, Tian Ze sighed in his heart when he was dying: "Is this the end, I... I'm ashamed of the great witch..."
In fact, after Tianze entered the cave, the python beast probed into the waterhole several times, and it seemed to know that Tianze had entered the passage, but it retreated back when it reached the entrance of the dark cave several times.
As if afraid of something, it finally decided to continue its unfinished hunt after wandering for a long time, because the hole was relatively narrow, the python hit the wide flat head and stuck in the dark hole, unable to advance or retreat.
The python then twisted its body, kept shaking its tail from side to side, and slapped the side of the pool wall hard, and finally pulled out its head after a few borrowed forces, and there was still a little keratinous cortex of the python's head left at the mouth of the dark hole.
The python was in pain but unwilling, and used the tail to continue to hit the dark hole, but the greater the force under the reaction force of the water, the greater the resistance, the python giant force on the pool wall just made the rock wall a shock, and did not smash the rock formations around the cave as it expected, so as to expand the entrance and let itself enter the cave.
After a while, seeing that the edge of the cave was only detached from some rock chips, and there was no sign of crumbling, the python turned its body and floated above the pool.
Out of the pool, the python spewed out two slender columns of water from its nostrils, shook its head again, and with a hissing sound, it spiraled upwards towards a stone pillar, and disappeared into the darkness of the cave roof.
There is a pool of water outside the passage where Tianze is drowning, and the gas exhaled by Tianze is constantly bubbling on the surface of the pool at this time, accompanied by the shock caused by the python hitting the dark hole, causing a ripple on the surface of the pool.
At this time, a black shadow stood on the edge of the pool, and if you looked closely, this black shadow turned out to be a humanoid with an upper body and a snake body on the lower body.
Seeing the sudden vision in the pool, he twisted his body and dived into the pool, and after a while, he went down to the hole where Tianze had drowned before, and found Tianze who was sunk on the edge of the hole.
Like a prey dragged to the edge of the pool, the snake-like creature dragged Tianze to a flat rocky ground by the pool, and then released the tail that was wrapped around Tianze's arm.
Tian Ze was lying motionless with his face to the ground at this time, this human snake probe observed Tian Ze left and right, and sometimes approached and sniffed Tian Ze's head, it seemed that he was really preparing to eat the prey that Tian Ze had fallen from the sky.
The human snake sniffed the left and right sides of Tianze's head, and then sniffed down the neck, because Tianze was slapped on the back by the python beast and landed on the ground, the clothes on the back of the setback were rotten, and the upper half of the back of the neck was exposed, and the human snake found that there was a vague mark on the back of Tianze's neck, some of which were covered by blood, but it was vaguely seen to be a word.
The human snake stretched out its slender tongue and licked the bloodstained area a few times, and after the blood stain was licked clean, the brown mark of the word "sky" appeared.
When the human snake saw this mark, he was shocked, and quickly twisted the snake's body to retreat, but he stopped after moving a few steps, as if thinking about something.
After hesitating for a while, the human snake returned to Tianze's side, and he rolled up Tianze with his tail and half-hung it in the air, and then shook Tianze up and down hard, and patted Tianze's back from time to time with both hands, so that after tossing back and forth for half a pillar of incense, a few coughs with water came.
Tian Ze slowly regained consciousness, and he was lucky to escape, but as soon as he woke up, he felt that the world was spinning, and he didn't know how to deal with it when he saw that he was being carried in the air by a monster with a snake body.
Tian Ze thought to himself: "Don't bring such a play, just now the Hades Palace has come back in a circle, is it possible that you are going to fill the stomach of this monster?"
At this time, the human snake saw that Tianze had woken up, so he put Tianze down, and said to him in a somewhat blunt human language: "Come with me, don't ask more, whether you live or die depends on your creation." ”
After saying that, he twisted his body and snaked forward, Tian Ze was still stunned in place and didn't react for a while, listening to the sound and looking at the two balls of meat bulging on the chest of this human snake, this Nima is still a female snake?
Tian Ze was out of his mind, and the snake pushed him with his tail, Tian Ze came back to his senses and estimated that this guy's strength was not at the same level as himself, and if he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him early, so he had to listen to it and take a step at a time.
Tian Ze followed the human snake through several places similar to cave passages, but his mind was full of questions along the way.
It is rumored that it can be seen back to the era of the flood famine, and each of them is an ancient god-like existence, and the major tribes of the flood famine at that time can often be seen in the shape of man and beast as the tribal totem, as a belief passed down from generation to generation, but after the era of the three emperors and five emperors, it seems that all these cultural beliefs have gradually disappeared.
Now that he has encountered such a living fossil, he doesn't know what the origin of this human snake is with the ancient gods, or if it is just an alien living underground.
Now I don't know where to take him, thinking about the guy who assigned the task at the beginning, Tianze hates itchy.
