"Look at the entrance of the cave. If it walked through, there would definitely be traces."
However, this method soon proved to be unworkable, because the three cave entrances here all have traces of snakes crawling, and it is indeed difficult to determine which trace is new.
"No matter what, let's try our luck. None of us died in the situation just now, which means luck is still on our side. If we pursue the victory, nothing might happen."
Finally, I followed the fat man's suggestion, and we got into one of the caves one after another. The cave got bigger and wider as we walked, but we walked for a long time without encountering the giant snake. We slowly put down
In my heart, it seems that our bet was right, the giant snake did not get into this cave.
"Quack, quack, little prince, it turns out that our luck is really good. That big guy must have gotten into another hole. Now the future is bright."
"Okay, don't be poor. The danger has not completely passed yet. I always feel that something is very wrong about this place." I pointed to the open area in front and said.
"No way, young prince, are you too careful? No, it's simply unfounded worries. We haven't encountered anything yet, so where can we be in danger?"
"That's why I'm worried." I used the electric light to shine around, and the strange feeling in my heart became even more powerful. "Fat man, we have to observe the environment very carefully, and then make inferences based on logic. Look at the ground here.
, Just now we saw a lot of traces of the giant snake's activity along the way, including snake skin and traces of crawling, but when we got here, they all disappeared. What can you think of?"
"What are you thinking of? Hehe, of course we are completely away from danger. The giant snake has never been here before. We don't have to worry about encountering it."
"Really? Haha, Fatty, I don't believe that you are so smart that you can only think of this superficial thing. You don't have to worry that I will be scared, just tell the truth!"
The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at me. The cynical smile just now has been gradually replaced by a seriousness. I know that he is the real him now. "That giant snake is really a huge, ferocious and domineering thing that is rare to see."
The living creatures, lions and tigers have to take a detour when they come. But even they don’t dare to set foot in this place. It’s dark and humid here, which should be a very suitable place for them to survive and move around, but they don’t dare to come. This can only
It shows that there is a danger here, a danger that even it dares not touch."
"Yes, so I'm very worried. If we encounter a danger that even the giant snake can't handle, we don't know how to deal with it."
"Actually, young prince, Mr. Gua, I have already thought about what we will encounter." The fat man said seriously.
"Oh? What could it be?" I looked at him. I could never guess what was ahead of me. What did he think of it based on?
"It was the giant snake that reminded me. When we climbed over the rope just now, you should know that the giant snake has discovered us. Since it is awake, it is impossible not to discover us. At that time, Mr. Gua, I already felt that I was going to die.
, but then it left. I never understood why it didn’t eat us since it had discovered us. Now I finally understand that it didn’t dare to eat us. It was simply afraid of us. It was afraid of us humans.
.”
"Afraid of people?" I was surprised by the fat man's opinion, but what he said made sense. At that time, I also felt that the giant snake had discovered us, and I was also confused by its sudden departure.
"Animals are very sensitive to danger and have long memories. The giant snake is afraid of people. It must have suffered a big loss in this regard before. It can smell the smell of people, whether they are living or dead. In its eyes
They are all human. But who can hurt it? There can be no living people here, and it is even less possible for dead people to hurt it, so there is only one answer left."
"Living dead? You mean there will be evil things like old rice dumplings here?" I said in surprise.
"According to what you said and from logical inference, this can only be the case."
"Impossible, Wang Kui said that this place is not suitable for burying people at all. We have walked for so long, and we only saw three coffins in the demon dragon's beard, but they were also brought in not long ago. I think what he said is very reasonable.
.”
"That's true, but what if that's not the person buried here?"
"you mean?"
"Remember what the old boy said about Mount Tai for consecration? I once heard someone say something, I don't know whether it is true or not. He said that when the ancient emperors consecrated Mount Tai, they not only brought troops and hundreds of civil and military officials,
They would also bring a large number of civilians and even death row prisoners with them, but when they came back, those civilians and death row prisoners would disappear without any reason. No one knew where they went, and no one knew why they disappeared. History books only say that the emperor
How great it is, how spectacular the scene is, but this aspect has never been mentioned. Young prince, if this thing you said is true, where did those disappeared people go?"
I looked at him in surprise. I have never heard of this kind of thing. Is it true? If it is true, where will those people go? Thinking that the fat man's words will not be without purpose, I can't help but move. Could it be?
Could it be related to this?
"I'm not too sure about this, but we have to be on guard. You should have heard the saying, 'If there are hundreds of corpses lying around, there will be monsters.' If those people really died here unjustly, then this place would be real."
It’s a very dangerous place.”
His words have already made me a little confused. The old man once said to me: "A place with corpses should be avoided by all things, including the crying corpses, ghosts and gods." This really shows how scary this kind of place is.
Especially in a place that has suffered massacres, where too many people have died unjustly and resentment has gathered, it is easy for some monsters to appear. "According to what you say, do we have to turn around and go to the other side?"
The fat man shook his head and said: "I guess we can't go back. This rabbit bites people when it's anxious. What's more, it's a big python. If we keep wandering in front of it, it will definitely attack us? Besides, on the other side,
I don’t know what else. If we encounter ghosts or the like, we can still deal with it. After all, we are humans and not animals. But if we get into a snake’s nest and there are a group of little ones inside, that’s it.
He will definitely end up dead."
"In this case, we can only bite the bullet and move forward?"
"It seems like this is the only way." We looked at each other and gave each other a helpless smile. We haven't encountered a good thing since we came down from Zhenlong Terrace. I feel that we will face the biggest difficulty. It will be smooth sailing if we get over it.
If you can't get over it, death may be the best outcome.
