Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 86 Symbiosis
Because I saw the obese old man who was hooked out by Feng Sijiu, his body was wrapped around a giant python with its skin peeled off from the shoulders down, and the part where the skinless python corpse connected to the human corpse, due to too much time, For a long time, it has been integrated together.

It looked as if the old man and the reckless snake were one body, and they were inseparable from each other. What was even more surprising was that the skinless python corpse was covered with countless red flesh lines.

Now that the red liquid was brought out by Feng Sijiu, the python meat could still jump a few times every once in a while, it looked as if it had just been skinned, and it wasn't completely dead yet.

"It is said that the art of presenting the king is extremely strange, and now it seems that it is true! The giant green-scaled python in the cave can be used to bond with people, but I don't know what the meaning of this is."

Hu Bayi had been thinking before, how could King Xian spend so much effort to raise water hornets with human bodies, how could it be as simple as feeding the giant python? Looking at the situation in the jade coffin now, it should be the green scale Python's real purpose.

"You can see that the muscles and tendons on this python are very clear, it doesn't look like the skin was peeled directly with a knife. Besides, although this python is not as big as the one we saw in the cave, it is still much bigger than ordinary pythons. Little, what is this Mr. Xian Wang up to? I always feel that this thing is a scourge."

While Wang Kaixuan was talking, he also used his Yin-detecting claws to grab the red fleshy threads on the skinless python.

"Guessing here won't give you any answers, often such unknown secrets, the answers must be by your side."

After Feng Sijiu finished speaking, he took back the climbing pick, and put the obese old man with a python-like body back into the red liquid in the coffin again.

Then he knelt down and shone the flashlight on the bottom of the jade coffin. Sure enough, the three people beside him all noticed the difference. They didn't observe the bottom of the jade coffin because they were too nervous and excited. Just discovered.

Not all of this exquisite jade coffin is made of jade!Because its four walls and top cover are made of XZ dense sky jade, but its bottom is actually made of a piece of ranunculus wood.

What is even more surprising is that the unknown red meat thread in the coffin actually passed through the bottom of the coffin made of ranunculus and connected to the inside of the old tree.

In this way, the human corpse, the python corpse, and the jade coffin are all connected together, forming a special symbiotic relationship.

Looking down from the bottom of the coffin, I found that there were many tree holes hidden under the jade coffin. In the largest and deepest hole, under the light of the flashlight, I saw that there were many mummified animals wrapped in trees and vines. There are also several human bones, and even the body of an American pilot.

Seeing this scene, Shirley Yang suddenly realized, and exclaimed:

"Ah, it turns out that the skinned python corpse in this jade coffin may be a python, and those human pupae full of wronged souls are for them to eat, and the two couple old banyan trees may have been parasitized, The tree is now a giant python!"

"Huh? What do you mean? Do you mean the tree is a living tree python?"

Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang in surprise, but Shirley Yang didn't answer immediately, but pointed to the scene in the cave below.

Under the light of the flashlight, many animal corpses in the cave, without exception, are all entangled with thin red meat-like threads grown from the jade coffin, and these red flesh threads are stuck into the corpses of animals and humans , it seems that through these tentacles-like meat threads, their blood is sucked alive.

Seeing this situation, there is no need to explain anymore, because the answer is already obvious. The old man in the coffin skinned a python and put it together with his body in the jade coffin, and finally merged with the banyan tree, making this couple tree It turned into a snake tree.

"That's not right. If this is a man-eating tree, why didn't we get caught? Could it be that this man-eating tree has become a vegetarian?"

After Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, he looked at the three people next to him with a puzzled expression. Hu Bayi was also at a loss for what he said.

"The fat man is right. If the meat threads coming out of the jade coffin can kill nearby creatures, then we should all be attacked, but now that the coffin is opened, we have not been attacked. What is this? reason?"

"Night of the full moon."

Um?Hu Bayi and the others, who were full of doubts, suddenly heard the silent Feng Sijiu speak, and they didn't think of what it meant for a while.

Seeing that none of the three were clear, Feng Sijiu continued:
"Although Xianwang's stinging techniques are weird, they all have one thing in common, that is, the night of the full moon is the time to take effect, just like the stinging fish raised in the strange tank under the coffin, it needs to be taken on the night of the full moon. Only then will it work."

After hearing Feng Sijiu's explanation, the three suddenly realized, and Wang Kaixuan clapped his hands and said:
"Old Feng, according to what you said, wouldn't this thing only be active at the fifteenth day, and other times it would be less aggressive?"

"That's right, generally speaking, we are here to dedicate the king's tomb this time. The time, place, people and harmony are all in place. This search for Muchen Bead is bound to succeed!"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other and smiled, and at this time Hu Bayi remembered what happened when he went to the Zhelong Mountain and Waterway, and immediately asked.

"Brother Feng, have you already figured it out? Otherwise, when you first entered the waterway under Zhelong Mountain, why did you inexplicably ask what the day is?"

After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang remembered that this was indeed the case. At that time, Shirley Yang was still number 13.

But Feng Sijiu, the client, was a little confused when he saw the curious eyes of the three of them. To be honest, he really didn't think about it at the time, and all he could think about was the flood in Zhelongshan. Where can I think of this.

Even though he thought so, he didn't want to explain, but after showing a meaningful smile on his face, he got up to look at the jade coffin without saying a word.

"Okay, let's toss around for a day, let's see if there is any treasure in this coffin, and hurry up and get a good rest after catching the artifact. Tomorrow, we have to look for the Snake River."

Hearing Feng Sijiu's words about fishing for the clear weapon, Wang Kaixuan immediately became excited, so without further ado, he picked up the Yin-detecting claw and fished it into the coffin again.

Feng Sijiu stayed at the original position, and forcefully hooked up the fat old man's body, leaving a gap under him. Seeing that, Wang Kaixuan hurriedly grabbed Tanyin to see if there was anything underneath.

When Hu Bayi saw it, he took the engineering shovel and searched for it together.

"Damn it, the golden mask!"

I saw Wang Kaixuan pull out a bright yellow object from the jade coffin, it was a golden mask, and he hurriedly grabbed it with his gloved hand in surprise.

Turning it up and down, it is likely that this shape was worn by a wizard or a priest in a ceremony. The shape is extremely weird, all made of real gold, and the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are inlaid with pure green and white jade. These jade ornaments are all movable.

When using the mask, the mask wearer can take off the green and white jade coverings from the gold mask. There are dragon horns on the head of the mask, the mouth is shaped like a tiger's mouth, and the ears are shaped like fish tails, making it look very ugly and hideous.

This is not the point, the point is the decoration of the golden mask, the circles are all in the shape of swirls, the composition of these swirls is simple, and it looks a bit like an eyeball, with two or three layers of small circles in the middle of a circle, The outermost layer seems to represent the eyeball, and the inner layers represent the pupils of the eyeball.

Muchen Bead!Seeing this familiar eyeball glyph again, Wang Kaixuan shook his hand, Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang were both very excited.

Putting the golden mask aside, Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi dug into the coffin again. This time, they took out a dragon and tiger short staff, with dragon and tiger heads at both ends, and the body of the two beasts connected. The place is the handle in the middle. The shape of the dragon and the tiger is simple and unsophisticated, exuding a vigorous and heavy atmosphere.

The two finally dug out for a few more minutes, and when they saw that the coffin was empty, they gave up. Feng Sijiu finally took back the climbing pick, and the old man's body and the skinless python were covered with red liquid again.

Looking at the two artifacts taken out of the coffin, Wang Kaixuan wiped the drool from the corners of his mouth, wiped them clean with a cloth, and then put them into a moisture-proof and air-proof deerskin pouch, ready to take them back as trophies.

He is very familiar with this operation, Shirley Yang just stared at it dumbfounded,

"What are you doing? It was agreed that you are only here to find Muchen Bead. Isn't this the same as grave robbery?"

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Wang Kaixuan widened his eyes and hurriedly defended:
"We ran all the way from BJ to Yunnan, what did we do here? Isn't it just to touch the open weapon, and finally break the fast, and want to put it back, there is no way, Lao Feng, you put it away."

After finishing speaking, the things had already been put into the bag, and they were handed directly to Feng Sijiu to put them away. Seeing this, Shirley Yang was really impatient, and just about to speak to dissuade her, Hu Bayi rushed out to cover:

"Look at what you said, what about robbing tombs and not robbing tombs? It's so ugly. Putting these things in the deep mountains and old forests will decay with the years. That is the greatest irresponsibility to the people. We should..."

In short, under Hu Bayi's glib tongue, Shirley Yang could only roll her eyes and stop talking angrily. The three masters messed up.

"That's settled. From now on, let's make a three-pronged agreement. Except for the muchen bead used to save lives, the artifacts in the ancient tomb cannot be touched again. After all, this kind of touching for gold is not a good thing."

Hearing Shirley Yang Song's mouth, Hu Bayi nodded his head and flickered. As for whether to touch the oracle after entering the tomb, that was a matter after entering the tomb.

Seeing that the matter had been found out, they also touched two objects, and finally they got down safely from the canopy of the tree, returned to the root of the tree, and found an open place to rest.

During the period, Feng Sijiu opened several boxes of munitions brought out from the plane. Hu Bayi and the others excitedly checked them one by one. Fortunately, only two boxes of ammunition and a dozen Chicago typewriters were usable among the four boxes of munitions.

The rest are not fully preserved, but no matter how many guns there are, as long as there is enough ammunition, the guns are allocated well, and each person has one for self-defense. At this moment, the time is almost 21 o'clock.

"Comrades, we have gained a lot today. Although we can't find the Snake River that enters the Worm Valley, since we have found this accompanying tomb, we can directly confirm that it was built in the water dragon halo through this accompanying tomb. The location of the tomb, take a good rest tonight, recharge your batteries, and go to Duanna Xianwang's lair tomorrow."

"Old Hu, I agree with your point of view, let's not talk about it, I'll go to sleep first."

After Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, he got into the sleeping bag directly. Before he could breathe a few times, the three of them heard the sound of snoring.

Really fell asleep without any ambiguity.

The night was spent at the watch, and nothing happened, not the ticking of a ghost signal or the appearance of a horned owl.

As the dawn broke, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan woke up completely after smelling a burst of fragrance. When they woke up, they found that Feng Sijiu and Xue Liyang were cooking canned food.

Afterwards, the four of them ate a full breakfast, and then they packed up their things and prepared to go to Worm Valley.

"Wait, it's a disaster to keep the jade coffin on the tree, why don't we get rid of it?"

There was nothing wrong with what Wang Kaixuan said, Hu Bayi and Feng Sijiu raised their hands in agreement, Shirley Yang just hesitated a little, and could only compromise.

Looking up at the cracked part of the canopy, Wang Kaixuan picked up the heavy Thompson submachine gun, aimed at the jade coffin above and pulled the trigger.

Tat-tat-tat-tat, Thompson's characteristic gunshots exploded, and the jade coffin on the canopy was instantly smashed into a sieve by the powerful American submachine gun, and all the blood in the coffin leaked out.

Wang Kaixuan, who thought he was killing harm for the people, hadn't had time to be happy. Suddenly, in the morning when it was still bright, a large cloud of dark clouds floated from nowhere in the sky and covered the sky.

The forest turned from white to black in an instant, and at the same time, the four of them felt a strong shaking from the ground under their feet.

"Fuck me? Is this an earthquake?"

No one answered Wang Kaixuan's exclamation.

After a closer look, it was not an earthquake, because the two old banyan trees in front of them kept vibrating, and the roots under the trees were pulled out, and the sound of breaking the roots kept ringing.

It was as if there was some huge animal under the tree, and it was about to knock down the big banyan tree and break out of the ground, when I saw the whole [-]-year-old tree, its roots and trees were pushed up, and at this moment, there was a sound from the sky. There were bursts of thunder, and plumes of black smoke emerged from the cracks in the ground.

The four of them could vaguely see that there was a huge animal hiding in the black smoke coming out from under the old banyan tree of the couple. Seeing that it was motionless, they didn't know what to do.

"I've never heard of any animal in the field that can grow so big, Lao Hu, what should we do now?"

After Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, he raised his gun subconsciously, and then took a step back.

"Whatever it is, we each have a submachine gun now, even if it is really a monster, if it passes by in a shuttle, it will never come back."

"There's no need to panic. It's a Fengshui-suppressing stone beast. Go over and see what it is."

After Feng Sijiu finished speaking, he walked towards the monster in the black smoke alone, followed by Hu Bayi and the others. Under the blowing of the mountain wind, the black smoke became weaker and weaker, and he saw the old banyan tree ahead. The countless rhizomes of the trees have been detached from the soil.

On the ground in the jungle, it seemed that a big black mouth had opened. As the black smoke drifted away, the dark clouds over the head became heavier and heavier, and the rumbling thunder rang out.

When the four of them approached, they saw a huge stone rising from the soil, carrying a short stele on its body. This stone beast was huge in size and weighed at least several thousand catties. The roots of the old banyan tree Wrapped on its body, it can be seen that it was artificially pressed under a tree.

You can tell without thinking too much, it must be the masterpiece of the high priest offering the king.
