The bright flashlight broke the long-quiet darkness here. Through the light, everyone discovered that the place they were in was an underground square with an area of more than 300 square meters.
The bluestone in the square is extremely smooth, and it was obviously polished carefully when it was laid. Moreover, the height of the top of the space has reached more than 30 meters, and the dark rock appears to be extremely hard.
“I think that’s where I originally entered the underground space!”
With the help of the light, Liu Dong quickly found a larger cave entrance sixty meters away from the left side of the cave entrance when they entered. The width of this cave entrance was no less than 4 meters and the height was more than 3 meters. The left and right sides were aligned.
There are four giant stone lion statues squatting in a row! Each stone lion is more than two meters high, looking extremely majestic and majestic.
But it is a pity that the surfaces of these four stone lions have been damaged to varying degrees! And the degree of damage is also strange, as if they were not broken by violence, but melted by high temperature, like leftovers.
Just like the remaining wax.
Moreover, the same traces of burning or corrosion appeared on the rocky ground surrounding the four stone lions. Here, the originally flat ground became pitted, and the deepest part even exceeded thirty centimeters. This is obviously
is abnormal.
But Liu Dong didn't know the specific reason.
Withdrawing his gaze and thinking briefly, Liu Dong turned around and said, "Master, I think you found this place before us. Why does it look like this is your first time here?"
"Actually, we only opened the tunnel here the day before yesterday. We prepared some things yesterday and are ready to come in today." The old monk Shoumei said calmly.
"Prepare something? Prepare what?"
"You come with me!"
After taking a look at Liu Dong, the old monk with long eyebrows strode forward!
Soon, headed by two people, followed by a large number of curious people, walked to the front of the square.
"Shine your flashlight down!"
After the old monk Shoumei finished speaking, before Liu Dong could make any move, Nancy had already shone the bright flashlight in her hand downwards.
"ah……!"
A high-decibel scream that surpassed the sound of a dolphin instantly rang in Liu Dong's ears. Unprepared, he almost threw the flashlight in his hand.
Before Liu Dong could complain, there was already a trembling body in his arms.
"Snakes, so many snakes!"
At this time, the people behind also rushed to the edge of the square. When they each shined their bright flashlights, the scene made these hard-blooded men who survived the life-and-death fight invariably take a breath of cold air.
gas.
Even the monks who practiced meditation at the Mahabodhi Temple and knew the situation in advance felt a chill on the back of their necks after seeing the situation clearly.
I saw that just outside the edge of the square where Liu Dong and the others were standing, there was another underground square that sunk more than 10 meters and occupied a wider area.
But what is different from the empty square where Liu Dong and the others are located is that this sunken square is densely populated with snakes of different sizes, colors, and shapes!
In addition to the famous Indian cobra, there are also bungar snakes, emerald snakes, Himalayan white-headed snakes, golden kraits and other Indian snakes you can name. Almost all of them can be seen here.
One or two snakes are not scary, and a dozen snakes gathered together may only make people feel uncomfortable, but when tens of thousands of snakes gather together, you will have a feeling of fear from the bottom of your heart.
Creepy.
Even a powerful person like Liu Dong felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the situation in front of him.
Of course, it would be more acceptable if it was just a snake.
The key is that among the snakes swimming, you can also see dots of white bones, not only animal bones, but also human bones. This is the most eye-catching place.
The snake's diet contains human flesh, which makes me panic from the bottom of my heart just thinking about it.
Seeing these snakes, Liu Dong finally understood why the people from Mahabodhi Temple did not continue to explore as soon as they discovered this place.
"Master, if I guess correctly, the things on the backs of each master should be realgar, right?"
"You'll know in a minute!"
After looking at Liu Dong calmly, the old monk Shoumei led more than 20 monks from the Mahabodhi Temple along the steps towards the square where the snake tide was.
"Liu Dong, how about we go back?"
When Liu Dong was about to follow, Nancy suddenly pulled his arm.
"There might be the Maurya Temple behind you. Haven't you always wanted to look for it? Now it's right in front of you, why are you holding back!"
"But I'm afraid of snakes!" Nancy hesitated.
"It's okay, I'm here! Let's go!"
If possible, Liu Dong also hopes to send Nancy back, but in Patna, India, a place he is unfamiliar with and full of all kinds of weird people. Coupled with everything weird in front of him, Liu Dong still feels that he should take her with him.
It's safer around here.
His ability is enough to ensure that Nancy can be rescued in time when she encounters various dangers and ensures her safety.
When Liu Dong was pulled by Liu Dong to the sunken square cautiously, the monks from the Mahabodhi Temple who had arrived here in advance had already used the realgar powder in their backpacks to clear a two-meter-wide passage among the snakes.
After the tide of snakes receded, some things that had been covered up were revealed.
"This should be a fragment of armor!"
Looking at the rusted iron pieces within the scope of Liu Dong's flashlight, as well as the vague patterns and styles that could still be seen on them, Nancy spoke after a brief inspection.
"It seems that the information you saw in the British Museum was correct! The Xunjia Dynasty paid a high price to compete for this temple!"
"Hehe, I know all knowledge is useful...!" Before she could finish speaking, the smile on Nancy's face froze.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"According to the information, the Xunjia Dynasty's army encountered a giant snake after entering the temple, and the giant snake summoned a swarm of snakes! Now we see a swarm of snakes, what about the giant snakes?" At the end of the words, Nancy's tone trembled, pretty.
There was even more panic on his face.
"Calm down, after so many years, maybe the giant snake has died long ago!" Liu Dong comforted with a smile.
"Huh, that's right! The lifespan of the longest-lived vertebrate in the world is only two to three hundred years!"
After saying that, Nancy also breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say much. He just looked at the darkness ahead and his pupils narrowed slightly.
The world is full of wonders, including lighthouse jellyfish, a magical species that can almost live forever. Vertebrates that have survived for thousands of years must also exist, but they are rare in number, and most of them are located in inaccessible underground areas, deep seas, or dense forests.
, just not known to the outside world.
Apart from anything else, the big mosasaurus-like monster Liu Dong saw at the bottom of Lake Baikal in Russia last time must have lived for more than a thousand years!
Of course, this kind of thing is so magical that there is no need to tell it for people who have never seen it to ridicule it.
"boom……!"
Liu Dong stamped his foot, and a piece of decayed armor fragment flew out like lightning, cutting off seven inches of a cobra as thick as an arm with a 'chi' sound.
As the smelly snake blood spurted out from the fracture, the brown Indian cobra, nearly two meters long, fell limply into the pile of snakes.
It can be seen from its arched upper body and unfolded leather folds that this guy is ready to attack!
"Thanks!"
The bodyguard closest to the snake said gratefully to Liu Dong.
If Liu Dong hadn't taken action just now, he might have been bitten!
After nodding, Liu Dong said loudly: "Everyone, walk closer to the center and try not to get closer to the edge. Also, hold your guns and shoot decisively when in danger!"
In this way, with Liu Dong's careful consideration, everyone safely passed through the snakes and followed the monks from the Mahabodhi Temple in front to the end of the Snake Chao Square.
Next to the end of the square is a cliff with a width of more than 60 meters.
It's pitch black under the cliff, and I don't know how deep it is. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can hear the sound of running water coming from below. There are also snakes of different sizes on the edge of the cliff.
No one is interested in exploring what is under the cliff.
But looking at the trembling cable bridges on both sides of the Unicom cliff, almost everyone felt hesitant.
Because the wooden planks that were originally fixed on the cable bridge have long since corroded away, leaving only the smooth goose egg-thick iron cables dangling on it. What's even more exaggerated is that there are many cobras wrapped around these cables.
If we get to the top, if we are not careful, we may not be able to escape the ending of falling off the cliff. Although there is the sound of water below the cliff, no one knows what is going on down there.
With everyone cherishing their lives, no one wanted to step onto this shaky chain bridge that seemed like it might fall at any time.
"Amitabha, little thief, it seems that the two of us have to get through first this time!"
"The master is so elegant, I am willing to accompany you, but I have to take someone with me!"
"As you wish!"
After the old monk Shoumei finished speaking, he paused with his feet and flew up like an eagle. After spanning a distance of nearly six meters, he landed lightly on the trembling iron rope in the middle of the cliff.
As soon as the old monk fell, he saw that the originally trembling iron rope seemed to have been weighed down by a thousand kilograms of weight and did not shake at all. Then the old monk did not see any other movements. The large and small snakes that were originally wrapped around the iron rope seemed to have their bones broken.
He fell down a deep cliff like it was raining.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the old monk walking straight towards the opposite side as if he were walking on flat ground, and his speed was actually faster than an ordinary person's trot.
Looking at this scene, Liu Dong smiled faintly and didn't feel too strange.
The warriors in the Baodan realm have extremely good control over their bodies. Even without this iron cable bridge, it would not be difficult for the warriors in the Baodan realm to cross this 60-meter-wide cliff.
