Chapter 231 Snake Cave

The underground canyon is like reaching the bottom of hell in the abyss. It is full of jagged and huge skeletons of prehistoric creatures. The scattered and collapsed stone pillars nearby are somewhat insignificant compared to those skeletons, and most of them are buried in the gray-white soil layer. So starting
At that time, no one noticed that there were ruins of human buildings here. It was not until Axiang pointed out that there was a huge black statue behind us that they realized that there were so many stone pillars around.
There are some cow nostrils cut into the stone pillars, and some still have stone rings as thick as the arms. The most eye-catching thing is the layers of eye totems on the stone pillars. We have seen these totems countless times, and they are commonplace.
I didn’t feel any surprise when I saw it here again. The totems of eyeballs, except for the very strange ones at both ends of the altar, with a closed eye at one end and a bleeding eye at the other, are all similar, and the ones on this stone pillar are the same.
It's a relatively common pattern, and I didn't see anything different.
But after seeing the totems on these stone pillars, I seemed to feel something strange. I had to look carefully at Axiang's eyes. Probably to avoid Axiang's nervousness, I used a discussion tone, which was no different from usual speech.
Axiang nodded in agreement, with a timid expression on her face. She probably felt confused. She took a closer look at what the eyes meant, so she held her breath, stood at a very close distance, and stared intently into Axiang's eyes.
, seemed to be looking for something in her eyes.
I understand that although I said it in an understatement, there must be some problems that we have not thought of. The behavior of this girl Axiang is indeed not quite right. She actually got the spirit-leaving syndrome and stabbed her own eyes with sharp stones. Maybe
It's just like what Uncle Ming said. She's gone evil. Maybe she's not the Axiang we know now. It's more likely that her eyes have some connection with Evil Luo Haicheng. Could she be the one around us?
Where is the ghost mother and witch concubine?
I made random guesses in my mind and ran through several thoughts, but none of them seemed to be the same. When I saw Axiang’s eyes staring at her, I and the fat man went over to have a look together. I wanted to see what was in Axiang’s eyes, but
After looking for a long time, I didn't see anything strange.
At this time, she seemed to have found the answer in Axiang's eyes. She first told Axiang not to worry, nothing would happen, and then let us look at the eyes on the stone pillars. Although they looked very similar to the other totems in the Evil Luohai City,
But there is one detail that is unique. The pattern in front of her eyes has a circle of linear red ridges outside her pupils. If you look at Axiang's eyes, there is something similar.
I just realized that I didn't notice the subtle difference. If you look closely at Axiang's pupils, you will find that there are indeed blood stains in them, like a thin line surrounding them. The blood stains are like blood streaks in the whites of the eyes, but they are very subtle. If you don't look carefully,
We couldn't see clearly at all. If Axiang hadn't broken into this cave, we might not have found this place, and her eyes were similar to the totems here. She deliberately led us here, but in front of Axiang,
I didn't say this out loud.
Knowing what just happened, it is easy for everyone to become confused. They will inevitably suspect that Axiang does not believe in the theory of eye reincarnation at all, so he explained that the bioelectricity emitted by the human body through the eyes is only about 7%, which is very weak, but
Everyone's physique is different, and their ability to sense bioelectricity is also different. Axiang's eyes can sense some things that ordinary people cannot capture. Although this is very special, there are many things like hers in the world today, so she
I was subconsciously led here. The totems on the stone pillars are the best evidence.
After hearing this, Uncle Ming quickly said, "It's okay. Let's go north quickly. Leave this place as soon as possible. Don't worry about what the hell is here."
Uncle Ming had just finished speaking halfway when Axiang suddenly said: Useless godfather, there is no way to go. There are many poisonous snakes chasing you. We are all afraid of snakes. I don't want to be bitten by snakes while talking.
Then she shed tears.
Axiang's words surprised everyone. After all, they thought of the black snakes in the white tunnel of Chulei Mountain. They were so creepy. If you encounter a group of snakes in this underground canyon, there won't even be a place to hide.
No, running forward is not an option, and how can two legs outrun those black snakes that move like the wind? The ancient walls on both sides are as sharp as knives, and not even apes can climb up.
At this time, the sound of snakes swimming around in the cave to the east and between the cracks in the rock crystal veins could be heard faintly. Uncle Ming's face turned earthy and he grabbed my arm: Brother Hu, I'm counting on you this time. Fortunately, I heard
You should go north. There is water in the north. If you have water, you will have a way to survive. If I didn't listen to you and turned back just now, I would have been buried in the snake's belly now. Let's run north for our lives. As he spoke, he wanted to hold me.
Run forward.
I quickly held down Uncle Ming's hand and said, "Don't panic. There is a vast plain ahead. If you escape, you will definitely die. I think the only way to escape is to go to the black giant statue first, seal the entrance of the cave to stop the snake, and then think of other ways to escape."
The sound of the snakes swimming was like a frenzied tide. Before I could see the snakes, I was frightened to the core by the sound. I couldn't tolerate any more delay. I asked the fat man to carry Axiang on his back, grabbed Uncle Ming and left the big man behind.
We took a few steps and ran to the cave door at the bottom of the black colossus. The inside of the tall statue was hollowed out and the light was very dark. We used a flashlight to scan the surroundings. There were buildings with wood and stone structures, and there were many layers on top. It looked like
It leads directly to the top of the Colossus.
A large group of black snakes were approaching, and there was no time to take a closer look at the situation inside. The fat man threw Axiang on the ground, moved two large stone slabs with me and Uncle Ming, and blocked the door. The tension did not relax at all, and his legs were a little numb.
So soft. Fatty and I have often caught snakes in the wild before, but this kind of black snake is not only numerous in number, but also swims like electricity. It is so poisonous that it can be said that you will die if you touch it, and you will die if you touch it.
Not only were we worried that there were other gaps in the giant statue, we all discussed that it was better to go up there. Relatively speaking, it was safer up there. In order to economize on the use of light sources, we only turned on a headlamp and a flashlight. We walked up.
Only then did I realize that there was nothing safe inside. There were many stone chambers that were not adjacent to each other inside the giant statue. The overall shape was similar to that of the honeycomb-like Evil Luohai City, but the structure was not that complicated. The stone-like chambers were pitifully small. I
I think this may not be a place for people to live. It is too narrow and depressing. If people lived in it, they would probably die of suffocation in a short time.
Everything here is covered with dust and the air flow is very poor. If the five of us stay in a small area for a little longer, we will feel a lack of oxygen and chest tightness.
When I climbed to the fourth floor, I felt a cool breeze blowing in. In the dark corridor, I followed the cool airflow and saw a one-meter-square hole. This was a hole in the middle and lower part of the Colossus.
Ventilation. Since the entire statue is black, it cannot be seen underground. If it were not for those collapsed stone pillars, it would not even be easy to find the entrance at the bottom.
I lay down in front of the hole, leaned out and looked down from a high place. The fluorescent light below was blurry, and I could only see groups of twisted and squirming black snakes, all gathered in the area under the statue. The largest ones were as thick as a man's arm.
, small ones shaped like willow leaves, with black eyes on their heads. Some of the snakes coiled lazily, and some fought and bit each other. The number of snakes became more and more. If you saw too many of the wriggling things, you would
It makes people feel sick.
After seeing it, he said to us: The behavior of these snakes is very strange. They don’t seem to be crawling in and attacking us. Instead, they seem to be waiting for something to happen.
The fat man put Axiang down, took a breath himself, and then said: I think they are waiting for us to go down and prepare a meal for them. He raised his arm and looked at the time on his watch and said, isn't it just time to eat? Axiang was shocked by the fat man's words.
I was so frightened that I sat on the ground with my hands and knees shaking. Uncle Ming was also a little distraught when he saw this, and asked me what to do now. There was nothing to eat, and there was not much water in the kettle. It was impossible to hide in the colossus all the time.
Moreover, the sight of the stone house inside the giant statue gives people goosebumps. Even Axiang said that it gave her a headache. We are in a desperate situation this time, and we can’t fly out even if we put on our wings.
I was also very uneasy. I definitely couldn't get out from outside, and the building in the belly of the black statue didn't seem to be for people to live in. God knows what would be here, but now I had to stabilize everyone's emotions, so I looked for it.
As an excuse to stabilize the morale of the army, he said to everyone: In fact, not only does the north belong to water, but black also represents water in the five elements. These huge statues are all black, and naturally they belong to water, so I think we will not hide here.
Life-threatening.
I suddenly thought of some ideas, and said to everyone: Just now at the bottom of the canyon, we all saw a layer of volcanic cocoon on the stone pillars and fossil bones, and there were many large raised bumps on the ground, which should have been erupted before.
Volcanic bombs, and the temperature is much higher than other places. These signs indicate that there is a volcanic belt here. Although we found an extinct volcano in the lake, that does not mean that the entire volcanic belt is dead. Snakes
They like the cold and dark. They all come from the caves in the east and never dare to get too close to the north. The sulfur smell will be stronger the further north you go. As long as we find a way to get rid of the snakes and escape a mile or two forward, we can
If we can get out safely, I think we can use the materials here to make some torches to ward off the snakes.
Uncle Ming heard that there was a big flaw in what I said, so he said: No, the snakes here are all black, and they seem to belong to water. Although I don't know how to count, I know that water can overcome fire.
So although snakes like the cold, they still dare to come here. Besides, we can survive in water, so how dare we light torches? Isn't this a taboo of mutual conflict?
I thought to myself that this old Hong Kong farmer was really hateful. He dared to talk to me about the principle of the five elements. The principle of the five elements is like the principle of the wheels of a wheel. No matter how you say it, it can be perfect. Mr. Hu, I can stir up three points of the truth even if it is unreasonable.
, can I let you lie down? So he said to Uncle Ming: The sky is the source of water, the earth is the second source of fire, the sky is the third source of wood, the earth is the fourth source of metal, the sky is the fifth source of earth, the five positions and five shapes are all combined with five, so in the river diagram
The odd yang number is male, the even yin number is concubine, and in large numbers, yin and yang change positions, so it is said that concubine is made of five. Modern people only know that water can overcome fire, but they do not know that water is the male of fire, and fire is the concubine of water.
People today only know that water is strong in the north and fire is strong in the south, but they don’t know that the prosperity and decline of the five elements are related to the star of the year. Uncle Ming, you only know that water restrains fire, but you don’t know that if fire is strong and water is weak, strong fire can still bully water.
, this shows that you don’t understand the ancient method. Our water is strong, and those snakes are weak water, so our strong water can use fire to reduce the weak water. But the fire cannot be stronger than our water, otherwise we will also be in danger.
Uncle Ming's eyes widened when he heard this. It took him a long time before he said: "I understand. That's why I often tell Axiang that in the future, you have to marry Colonel Jin, otherwise you will be useless."
Suddenly, he gently waved his hand to signal everyone to stop talking. There was movement outside, and we immediately became alert. We quietly approached the entrance of the cave to peek at the movement below, but it was not asking us to look at the snakes below. It pointed high.
On the cliff above, a long string of small white lights lit up at some point, and there were quite a few of them dangling high.
But the distance was too far, and the crystal veins on the mountain wall had become sparse, and the fluorescence was dim. I rubbed my eyes hard, but I still couldn’t see clearly what it was. It didn’t look like a lamp. It seemed like there were countless little people in white standing there.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed before my eyes. There was a slightly gentle rocky slope on the cliff. Several large groups of white things rolled down from the top and fell to the bottom of the canyon.
The snakes on the ground swam towards the fallen white objects one after another. We were only a dozen meters above the ground. We could see the things below relatively clearly, but we could only see those big clumps of things, all of which were sticky.
The black snakes rushed to squeeze in the spherical objects, the size of grape beads, and stopped around them. Many bright red things suddenly appeared on those white objects, as if red flowers bloomed out of thin air, but in an instant
Then it disappeared again, turning red and dark. The more people looked at it, the more strange it became. After looking at it again, they saw that in a fossil skeleton embedded in the rock, there was a black snake that was several times larger than its kind. It was unknown where it came from.
It slipped out of a rock crevice, swallowing a blood-red snake letter. The snake's scales were all black and dazzling, and it looked strange. It opened its mouth and salivated. As soon as the saliva dripped from its mouth fell to the ground, a snake immediately grew out of the stone.
The small piece of bright red toadstool withered again in the blink of an eye, and was destroyed as it was born. The poisonousness of this snake was beyond human imagination. The big snake snaked down from the bones, snaked into the middle of those white objects, and killed them one by one.
The remaining black snakes were waiting quietly beside him, not daring to move. It seemed that they wanted to wait until their boss had eaten the rest.
The fat man wondered: Although I can't see clearly what kind of egg it is, the large white object should be the egg of something. It looks very much like a big termite or something, and there are many dead insects and animals wrapped in it.
I looked at the row of small white figures high up, and I guessed that they were close to ten. I said to everyone: Those Avalokitesvara above, no wonder these black snakes endure the hot environment here. It really is what the fat man said.
They are here to eat. They will disperse when they are full. Let’s be patient and wait for the opportunity. Small beasts like Diguanyin are cruel and cunning by nature, and they are also very greedy. They like to store food, and they will eat it even if they don’t eat it.
Hiding things deep down will save the snakes unexpectedly.
After everyone heard what I said, they let go of their worries. After all, those snakes were not coming for us, and they probably didn't find us hiding here. It wouldn't take long for us to be out of danger, but Ah Xiang suddenly spoke.
He said: No, they have seen me and I can feel it. After saying that, he lowered his head and remained silent, looking very helpless.
I heard Axiang say it very seriously. She wouldn't dare to joke about this kind of thing. Thinking of the bright red venomous saliva exuded by the poisonous snake, I couldn't help but sweat started to appear on my forehead. I peeked out of the cave again and saw Pan.
The giant snake on the Basilosaurus fossil was speaking loudly towards the entrance of the cave where we were.
I hurriedly retracted my body. Yes, I could feel it. The snakes below must have known about our existence. But I didn’t know that they planned to eat the ant eggs and attack again. Also, they didn’t dare to enter because the statue was a restricted area.
, I asked the fat man to stay at the entrance of the cave to monitor the movements of the snakes. Uncle Ming and I had to hurry up and make some torches. I got into a stone house next to the entrance of the cave, held up a flashlight for lighting, and tried to find if there was any oil stored there.
Although the utensils are used for a long time, the yak fat or pine juice in ancient Tibet can be retained for a very long time, and may even be used to ignite fires. When we came up just now, we saw that there seemed to be no lamps here, and there was no daylight here.
The lights are really unusual.
With a bit of luck, I took a flashlight and looked around. The four walls of the stone house were empty, but in the corner, there was an ancient jade mask without eye holes. The same thing was found in another stone house. I asked this
Could it be the mask of the Ghost Mother of the Demonic Kingdom? Can those people show themselves with masks? Could it be that the building in this colossus is for the Ghost Mother to live in?
Said: No, the status of the Demonic Ghost Mother is very high. She must live in the temple of Evil Luohai City. It has been completely destroyed. You see, the environment here is very poor. It may not be an exaggeration to call it a prison, and it is eye-catching.
The mark is very special, similar to Axiang's eyes. Those eyes should not be ghost eyes. It will take several generations of ghost mothers to find a person who can really see ghost holes. I wonder if these are used to imprison those who
There were cow nostrils and stone rings on the stone pillars below the candidates whose eyes did not meet the requirements. They were obviously used to carry out cruel punishments. Those who were eliminated may have been locked in the canyon and fed to snakes.
I nodded and said: According to this, this place does look like a prison, but about this, I still have one biggest question that I can’t figure out. As soon as I said this, the fat man crawled back from the entrance of the cave in a hurry.
He asked me: How are the torches prepared? I saw that the snakes had begun to worm their way into our place. We had to hurry up if we wanted to light the fire. The fat man was not big yet. When I answered, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to me: "You guys
Look what that little girl is doing there. I looked at Axiang behind me. She was in a dark corner, her back facing us, and she was also facing the black wall, stroking her hand gently.
The stone wall, trembling all over, suddenly turned back to face us, with two lines of black blood flowing on its cheeks. He slowly raised his arm, pointed at the wall with his index finger and said: There is a woman here. Book Alliance
