Chapter 20 Tianze narrowly enters the mouth of the beast

Tianze walked along the rock crevice, and the deeper he went, the more open the space became, and there was already a very open underground karst cave in front of him.

There are some stalactites of different shapes hanging from the roof of the cave, and there are jagged stalagmites standing on the surface, and there are also huge stone pillars that are connected up and down, and at first glance the view is obscured by these scattered sedimentary rocks, so it is difficult to tell how big the cave is.

Further on, you can find a wide fissure above the surface, which stretches into the distance, and in it is filled with dark red magma, which bubbles from time to time, making bursts of bubbling sounds.

Occasionally, dew dripping from the stalactites falls on it and makes a sizzling sound.

Although the light emitted by the leyline molten was a little dim, it was enough to reflect the surrounding scenery, so Tian Ze put away the fire fold and looked for the traces left by the red flame python along the light source near the molten lava.

The road under his feet was not smooth, and cracks in the gravel could be seen everywhere, Tianze walked cautiously, stepping on some hard object carelessly, and then only heard a "click" sound under his feet.

Tian Ze raised his feet and looked down, it was a gray-white slender object, about four feet long, the two ends were herringbone, the middle part gradually tapered from both ends to the inside, and the place where it was stepped on was broken inch by inch, judging from the appearance, it should be the femur of some kind of wild beast, but it was already delicate after perennial weathering and erosion.

According to the length of this femur, the height of this desolate beast is estimated to be about one zhang.

There were also some bones scattered on the ground in front of him, Tian Ze picked up a few pieces and examined them carefully, these broken bones were covered with fine cracks, which should have been caused by strong external pressure, and there were still some mottled marks on the bones.

Tian Ze already guessed in his heart that these bones should be the prey that were entangled to death by the Chiyan poisonous python or other python beasts, and then swallowed into the abdomen, and the body was corroded and digested by the strong acid of gastric juice, and then the remains were expelled from the body, so there were cracks formed by high-intensity extrusion and traces of corrosion by strong acid on the bones.

If the speculation is true, then this area should be very close to the burrowing place of the Red Flame Python, because it takes a long process for the python to devour its prey, so it will choose to eat in a safer place.

Tian Ze lowered his head and walked forward, following the traces of the debris scattered on the ground all the way to the past, and gradually deviated from the light source, the scattered debris and bone fragments disappeared near a huge stone pillar, Tian Ze wandered near the stone pillar for a while and did not see any other traces.

Tian Ze thought to himself: "It's strange, there are no caves or other places to hide nearby, why is there no clue when I get here..."

Just as Tian Ze was pondering, he didn't know that there were a pair of eyes shining red in the pitch-black space where the huge stone pillar went deep into the roof of the cave.

Seeing that there were no clues here, and that there was a deep darkness ahead, Tian Ze turned back to the rift in the leylines where the magma was surging and continued to search for the little light source that the magma emitted.

Soon after Tian Ze left the stone pillar, he saw that the owner of the eyes also moved, and the body that was originally coiled on the stone pillar slowly stretched forward, stretched out long enough distance and then wrapped around the other stone stalactite.

Due to its slender size and the fact that some stone pillars or stalactites fell from the top of the cave at intervals of a few feet, the beast stalked in the darkness against the roof of the cave, and kept an appropriate distance from Tianze, who was not at all aware that danger was approaching step by step.

Tian Ze walked about two miles away in the direction of the magma from the leyline fissure, and the cave wall could almost be felt in front of him, and the leyline fissure gradually merged and stopped at a distance of about ten zhang from the cave wall, and the hot magma continued to flow underground.

Tianze looked around, and found that there seemed to be a sparkling wave on the left side, so he walked there, and when he got closer, he saw that it was originally a waterhole, with a large area, covering an area of seven or eight zhang square.

Above the pool are stalactites, dripping with dew, and the sparkling waves on the surface of the pool are the ripples caused by the droplets falling down.

The waterhole is clear and dirty, the probe can see the pumice stalactites of different shapes in the bright place at the bottom of the pool, perhaps it is Tianze who disturbed the fish in the pool under the visit, only to see the fish shadow from shallow to deep, swept into the darkness of the side of the pool, with the slight red light in the cave reflected on the surface of the pool is also a unique scenery.

Tian Ze took a closer look, and above the top of the cave should be the place where the living water flows, and the water seeps down along the cracks in the rock layer and continues to drip to form this waterhole.

Seeing that the pool of water should be filtered through the layers of sand on the top of the cave to appear very clear, and there are still living creatures in it, Tianze squatted down and prepared to quench his thirst, but he was surprised to see two points of bright red light reflected on the surface of the pool, and he fixed his eyes to see that this red light was approaching him.

Tianze rolled directly to the side with a rollover, and before he could come back to his senses, he was drenched by the splash.

Tian Ze was frightened by this sudden attack, and hurriedly turned around and retreated away from the edge of the pool.

Just now, the desolate beast failed to attack, and plunged into the waterhole, and Tianze didn't have time to see what it was.

It's just that people's curiosity about the unknown can always suppress the fear in their hearts, and Tianze did not turn around and run away, but leaned low and leaned against the thick stone pillar where one or three people hugged each other and waited.

After a while, a ripple was set off on the surface of the pool, and the true face of the desolate beast slowly emerged.

The beast resembles a python, its head is relatively round, slightly triangular, there are two raised dark red sharp horns above the corners of its eyes, there are two swirling scarlet spots on each cheek socket on both sides, and its thick torso is covered with dark red cloud-like markings, and the most eye-catching thing is its pair of linear pupils that shine red, which makes this wild beast slightly show a demonic aura.

Tian Ze saw the appearance of the desolate beast, and he had doubts in his heart, according to the appearance of this desolate beast, it seemed to be a red flame poisonous python, but according to the news he heard before, the red flame poisonous python did not seem to have that sharp horns, and its size was not so huge.

The behemoth's body was half-floating on the pool, and at this time, it was constantly spitting out letters in front of Tianze's location, accompanied by a hissing sound.

Whether to retreat or stay Tianze couldn't make up his mind for a while, and was just about to get up and retreat back to make another plan, when he stepped on a piece of gravel and made a snapping sound.

The python seemed to feel threatened, and screamed, its upper and lower jaws opened violently more than 130 degrees, and in addition to two rows of slender solid teeth, a pair of long and thick fangs could be seen in the bloody mouth, and then the python's entire body was violently retracted, and quickly ejected towards the place where Tianze was.

The whole process is extremely fast, if you bite the ironclad bite where to break, Tianze saw that the python beast was fierce and didn't know what the strength was, so he didn't fight hard, and the person leaned back and then rolled sideways to hide behind the stone pillar.

The python saw that Tianze avoided it, so it changed its bite to a collision, and directly shook its head and hit the stone pillar where Tianze was hiding, only to hear a deafening roar, the cave where Tianze was located felt trembling, and the stone pillar made a clicking sound, and the python beast actually hit such a thick stone pillar full of cracks and was on the verge of disintegration.

After Tianze viewed, he was frightened and quickly jumped up to escape the range of the stone pillar, the python seemed to vent his dissatisfaction, rolled up his tail and charged a blow on the stone pillar, only to hear the sound of "bang", the stone pillar that was already full of cracks collapsed, and the rubble splashed all over the ground.

"Obediently, which is this a human-level junior desolate beast, which two stunned people have broken the task level, this is to kill people. ”

Tian Ze estimated that with his current cultivation, if he was to face this monster head-on, not to mention that if he was bitten, he would have to break his meridians.

Tianze fled one by one around the stone pillars, stone stalactites and pythons in the cave, and the pythons broke several pillars and refused to stop.

Tian Ze thought about countermeasures while escaping, his feet were slow and he was hit by the tail of the python beast rubbing his shoulder, and under the huge force, Tian Ze's whole person spun sideways and crashed to the ground, and his back rubbed the ground and dragged for a long distance, and the clothes on his entire upper back were rubbed, revealing a back that was faintly oozing blood, and when Tian Ze got up, he found that he was actually by the waterhole just now.

Tian Ze felt a hot burning pain in his back, and before he could stand still, he saw the python beast rushing again, and Tian Ze could only fall backwards into the pool in order to avoid the collision.
