Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 81 The Giant Python ([-] words)

In the dark water cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain, the bamboo poles in the hands of Feng Sijiu and Hu Bayi were pushed to the bottom of the underwater river, and the bamboo raft carrying the four of them slowly moved forward through the waves.

With the light of the searchlight, I can see that the environment in this cave is not artificially excavated, it should be formed after hundreds of thousands of years of river water washing.

After entering the cave, I realized that the depth of the river in the cave is different. Sometimes the bamboo poles can easily touch the bottom of the river, and sometimes the bamboo poles cannot touch the bottom of the river when all the bamboo poles are put down.

The temperature in the cave is even more different from the hot and humid weather outside the mountain. The bamboo rafts go downstream in the cave, and the deeper you go, the more humid and cold the air becomes.

What's even more frightening is that under the illumination of the searchlights, groups of phosphorous fires flickering in the distance from time to time, which means that there are animal carcasses in the cave, and it's not real birds. Shit place.

"Did you find out that the caves here don't show any traces of artificial construction and excavation at all, and they seem to be completely formed naturally."

After Shirley Yang finished speaking, she saw that under the beam of searchlight, the walls of the cave were covered with strange stalactites, because these stones were covered with many minerals.

Now being swept away by the searchlights, these stones actually reflected a bright brilliance, but everyone hadn't had time to appreciate the beauty of the strange stones in the cave.

In the cave ahead, there are many twists and turns. Fortunately, the bamboo raft can just pass through. Even so, the few people dare not be careless, because the waterway here is too tortuous, and some places are like ninety-degree turns. , there may be accidents if you don't pay attention.

Wang Kaixuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the bamboo raft, holding a short bamboo pole in his hand and pushing against the walls of the cave around the bamboo raft from time to time to prevent the bamboo raft from hitting the wall.

Passing through a narrow path seven or eight meters long in front, the bamboo raft flows into a wide water cave. Under the light of the searchlight, I can see rows of natural smooth water on both sides of the cave walls in front. The terraced fields of melted rock are layered upon layers like the waves of the sea, like a frozen silver ocean.

But there are three entrances in this cave, except for one cave entrance which is too narrow, and two of them are just enough to enter the bamboo raft.

"Damn it, why are there three paths again? Which one should we enter now?"

Feng Sijiu stood at the front of the bamboo raft, raised the bamboo pole and pointed to the largest entrance on the left ahead.

"That should be the waterway used for the construction of King Xian's Tomb. If we go there, we should be able to enter the Worm Valley directly."

At the place Feng Sijiu pointed to, there was a huge vermilion natural stone bead hanging upside down in the middle of the river. Behind the stone bead, a part of the river diverged, and at this time it just flowed into the mouth of a huge animal head.

Seeing that huge stone beast looking like a tiger or a lion, it seemed to be opening its bloody mouth, roaring crazily, showing its mouth full of sharp fangs, trying to bite the stone bead, and time was frozen at this moment, its The posture is fixed, and I am afraid it has been maintained here for tens of thousands of years.

"Brother Feng, the proprietress of the Caiyun Inn never said that there is a man-made hole in this cave. Is it dangerous for us to go in rashly?"

Shirley Yang nodded hurriedly when she heard that,
"This waterway is not at all what the proprietress of Caiyun Inn described. Otherwise, the one on the left should be natural."

"Don't worry, there may be dangers, but there must be a real insect valley here, so we don't have to spend a lot of time breaking through the poisonous white fog around the insect valley."

After Hu Bayi thought about it carefully, he felt that he could take a risk. After a few minutes of discussion, he propped up the bamboo pole and rowed the bamboo raft towards the beast's mouth.

Not long after, the bamboo raft entered the river from the giant beast's mouth. Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked up at the beast's mouth above their heads. For a moment, they felt oppressive all over their bodies. Everyone seemed to have entered a path leading to The gates of hell.

My heart beat faster and my breathing became heavy. Even Wang Kaixuan was no exception, and the bamboo pole that held the balance in his hand was held tighter.

After entering the river in the mouth of the beast, I saw that this section of the river was narrower than the outside, but the water was very deep, and the bamboo pole could no longer support it to the bottom. Hu Bayi, who was behind, had already changed into an engineering shovel to paddle.

At this time, just three or four meters into the bamboo raft, several people saw a terrifying scene, because there were many human and insect figurines hanging on the top of the cave in front of them, densely packed like bacon hanging in rural stilted buildings like.

"The situation is not good, everyone, I think we have entered the kitchen where the king hangs human flesh."

After Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, he quickly poked the stones on the wall of the cave with a bamboo pole. To slow down the speed of the bamboo raft, Hu Bayi and Xue Liyang were already stunned.

With the help of the searchlight, several people raised their eyes to look forward, and saw the army of terracotta figurines hanging in front of them, each with their hands behind their backs, posing in a posture of being bound. Due to the damp and cold underground environment, the stone figurines The surface has become taupe, and the contours of the facial features are completely blurred.

Judging from the appearance, the appearance and gender of the figurines are basically indistinguishable, only from the stature, there are tall and short, fat and thin, except for middle-aged people, some of them are even less than one meter tall Yes, I don't know if it is a child.

On the top of the cave, there are green-stained copper chains, which hang these terracotta figurines on both sides. The straight corpses are like hanged ghosts, hanging above the heads of everyone, even though the searchlights are sweeping It's a dark and gloomy cave, but seeing so many at once, who isn't frightened.

There was no talking all the way, and everyone held their breath, for fear that the figurines would fall down, because there was a lot of space on the top of the head, and only a broken iron chain remained. of.

Fortunately, nothing happened when the bamboo raft left the river where those terracotta figurines hung, but only Feng Sijiu knew that there was a machine under the river ahead.

He was standing on the bamboo raft thinking about the position of the machine expansion, when there was a strange noise from the bottom of the bamboo raft that was slowly going down the river, and then it seemed to be caught by something in the river, and suddenly violently bumped.

"what's the situation?"

Wang Kaixuan, who was sitting on the bamboo raft, was staggered, and no one answered his words. At this moment, there was only a heavy and rusty heavy metal stirring sound coming up from the river.

Although they don't know what happened yet, everyone has an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"No, I'm afraid the bamboo raft has hit a trap hidden in the river."

As soon as Hu Bayi's exclamation fell, he heard the sound of falling into the water one after another from the back of the river that he just came over.

The sound was so dense that in the end it was almost impossible to hear the gap between the sound of falling into the water, as if the figurines hanging above the river had all been put into the water by chains.

Recalling those disgusting terracotta figurines, Wang Kaixuan's face changed drastically,
"Fuck his grandma, it's not a big deal. The one who offered the king dog's day is afraid that he saw us coming. He wanted to entertain us with sausages that had been hanging for thousands of years."

"Okay, fat man, don't say a few words to your mother, it's better to quickly draw out this section of the river, I always feel that the situation is not good."

Seeing the situation in the field, he became extremely nervous in an instant, Feng Sijiu at the front of the bamboo raft hurriedly said to the three people behind:
"There's no need to panic. Even if all the bugs in these figurines escape, it won't do any harm. What we should worry about now is what kind of animals feed on these bugs."

After hearing what Feng Sijiu said, the three of them came to their senses. That's right, Xian Wang's slaying technique is extremely weird. Now that these figurines have fallen into the water like throwing bombs, they are probably trying to please someone sacred. come out!
"No, there are still these figurines in the front section."

Under the spotlight of the searchlight, on the straight river in the distance ahead, there is also a section where more than a hundred figurines are suspended by chains.

Because the light from the searchlight was too strong and bright, it had a very terrifying effect on the gray-brown human skin. Like countless hanged ghosts, the figurines on the top of the cave dangled in the narrow mid-air of the river, just looking at them At the first glance, I just feel creepy.

At this time, the sound of the mechanism in the river sounded again, and the chains hanging from the figurines in front of them fell off one after another, and each figurine looked like a bomb dropped from a bomber.

One after another, one after another, they fell into the river water one after another. In an instant, the strong searchlight illuminated the front of the light column, leaving only hundreds of empty chains.

Although the figurines hanging above their heads were gone, none of them dared to take it lightly. Looking around, the bamboo raft under their feet continued to move forward.

Amidst the high tension, the bamboo raft had already drifted to the section of the river where only the chains were left in midair. When I looked up, I saw the thick chains mottled with green spots hanging quietly in the air.

As for Feng Sijiu, who was standing at the front of the bamboo raft, he could see clearly that the water surface in front of him began to bubble up little by little, within ten breaths.

Seeing that the river water exploded like a pot, a string of bubbles came out, and many figurines were soaked by the river water because of their dry skin, and cracks appeared on the gray-brown human skin.

After being soaked in the river water, the faces that were blurred before became clearer, and all of them still maintained the tragic expression of struggling before death. For a while, the river became even more terrifying than the Asura Hell.

Hu Bayi and the others on the bamboo raft looked at the surrounding water, as if the countless figurines had come to life, struggling painfully in the water one by one.

That scene was truly terrifying, even Feng Sijiu, who was brought down to the grave with his calmness buff, looked straight at it and frowned, because he had never seen such a terrifying situation.

But at this time Hu Bayi seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, only to hear him exclaim:

"Ah, it turns out that the insects inside these figurines are water hornets. Don't be too nervous. Although these water hornets can bite people fiercely, they can't fly up to bite us."

"Old Hu, is it true or not? There are still water bees in this world?"

Wang Kaixuan had never seen this thing before, so he doubted Hu Bayi's judgment very much.

"Can there be a fake? I ate a pot in Vietnam back then. The protein content is very high, and it tastes much better than silkworm chrysalis. It tastes like Pipi shrimp. When we get out of this river, we will eat these Water pig bees are boiled and eaten, and they are also good for offering sacrifices to the temple of the five internal organs."

"Damn it, these are all crawled out of the skin of dead people. Even if they taste like lobsters, I won't eat a bite."

Since these water hornets were just born, each of them likes the light source very much like a moth, so a large group of water hornets clings to the left and right of the bamboo raft.

Especially the front end position is the most, because the light of the searchlight is brighter, Feng Sijiu has already taken out the Kunlun Shenyu, holding a large white jade ladle in his hand, stretching his arms into the water, and the water hornets blocking the way are caught by him As soon as it was stirred, a large piece floated up in an instant.

"The situation is not too bad, as long as we can maintain it, victory is in sight."

As soon as Hu Bayi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shirley Yang who was beside him and said:
"Don't be too optimistic. These are not ordinary water hornets. Since the King Xian spent a lot of time parasitizing them in dead bodies, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Secondly, as... Lao Feng said, We still don't know anything about the real purpose of these water hornets."

Hu Bayi naturally knew that there was something wrong here, but the most urgent thing to do now was to get out of here. After thinking about it, he kept using the engineering shovel and short bamboo poles to knock down the water hornets attached to the sides of the bamboo raft.

After a while, the bamboo raft passed through the difficult river and entered a larger cave, which was filled with water.

Feng Sijiu turned the strong searchlight to sweep around. This large and empty cave was about the size of two football fields, and there was only one exit on the opposite side, where the water continued to flow out.

Fortunately, he didn't see the figure of that thing.

At this time, Shirley Yang took out a buoy with a barometer and threw it into the water, trying to measure the depth of the water, which was about 13 meters.

The cave where we are now is an ancient dolomite formation, which belongs to the metamorphic rock formation formed in the fourth season of the Ice Age. It is surrounded by clusters of huge mushroom-shaped rocks.

There are also some places that look like clusters of large corals turned up from the water. The scenery is so amazing that it is hard to describe. Hu Bayi and the others were all awed by this rare landscape of ancient Lingwu umbrella-shaped rock formations. When they came back to their senses, the three of them were greedily watching each piece of dreamy mushroom umbrella-shaped rock.

"Something is coming, you stay on the bamboo raft and don't move."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi and the others hurriedly came to their senses, and looked at Feng Sijiu at the front of the bamboo raft, only to see that the other party seemed to have discovered something at this time, because the Kunlun Shenyu in his hand had turned into a white jade trident halberd.

Feng Sijiu took two breaths while standing, moved his ears, and instantly found the target and turned the searchlight over.

As soon as the strong beam of light from the searchlight swept to a dark place, I saw a giant green-scaled python in a mushroom rock, and it was bending its body to get out of the cave.

When Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Xueli Yang saw the python, their eyes widened like a cow's, and they almost screamed out.

Because this python was too big, three circles thicker than the large water tank, it was like a giant blue dragon without claws. The scales on its body reflected an ominous light under the strong light of the searchlight.

The green-scaled python was suddenly illuminated by the strong light, and was stunned for a few seconds, then it seemed to come to its senses, suddenly there was a smelly whirlwind, and the snake quickly swam down the Mushroom Rock while writhing.

While the huge snake body twisted, countless fine powders were knocked out of the white mushroom rock that passed by in an instant. For a while, it was more like a giant dragon walking in the clouds and fog. In the blink of an eye, it swam into the water at an extremely fast speed.

When Hu Bayi and the others saw this, they almost jumped up in fright. No one thought that such a huge green-scaled python lived in the ancient Baiyun Mushroom Jishengyan Cave, and now it has dived into the water. Who knows what it wants to do, but it's not a good thing to think about.

What happened suddenly, Wang Kaixuan was already stupid, and holding an air gun was useless. Even if it was turned into a machine gun, it might not cause fatal damage to such a big python.

Without thinking about it, the three of them swung their arms, and using the engineering shovel, bamboo pole and gun stock in their hands, they began to row the bamboo raft desperately, but at this moment, Feng Sijiu at the front of the bamboo raft squatted down and shouted:
"That guy's goal is to eat the water hornets under the bamboo raft, you must hurry up."

As soon as Feng Sijiu finished his words, before Hu Bayi and the others could react, they suddenly felt their feet tremble, and the whole bamboo raft flew into the air from the water.
