Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 54 Trapped
Gu Wenmin said: "I thought it was just a legend at first, but I didn't expect that there is such a dragon temple in the deep mountains. But the ancients always like to add fuel to the story, and the monster with a human body and a snake tail may be just a rumor, even if there is, so It has been many years, and he should have died long ago."

With that said, Gu Wenmin went to the door again, followed the crack of the door to observe the movement outside, and heard her whisper: "Chen Xuan, Xiao Dou, come and see, these snakes are so weird."

My heart said: The snake is weird?What is this saying?Immediately, she leaned over and accidentally touched Gu Wenmin's white and tender skin, but she didn't care at all, her eyes just stared outside.

Through the crack of the door, I saw the snakes entangled outside, as if they were dead, crawling one by one on the stones, grass, and soil outside, motionless, their bodies straightened, and they didn't even vomit, as if they were all dead. As if already dead.

Tofu's brain short-circuited, and he speculated; "Great, these snakes are dead."

The situation in front of me is obviously very weird. It is impossible for all those snakes to die outside in an instant. Except for the Martian head of Tofu, no one would think so. The door is closed and you can't get in, so you're all pissed off?"

Tofu knew that I was teasing him, so he seemed very unhappy, and asked me, since the snake is not dead, why is it motionless outside?I also wondered about this question. After Tofu asked, I found a broken lamp covered with cobwebs from the temple, opened the door, and threw the broken lamp in my hand towards the snakes. The snakes in Pian'er were startled immediately, and started to swim away, obviously they were all live snakes.

That being the case, why are they pretending to be dead?

At this time, I discovered another strange phenomenon. Although I threw the lamp out, I also opened the door with an arm-thick slit. The snakes saw it, but they didn't take the opportunity to crawl in. They still stayed where they were and stared at it. We look very weird.

The three of us didn't understand why, and were a little dazed by the situation in front of us, thinking: What happened to these snakes?Is it because a dragon snake is enshrined here, and they feel the breath of the dragon snake, so they dare not come in?

After I said my speculation, Gu Wenmin came up with an idea and said: "If you are really afraid of the smell of dragon snakes, then things will be easy. Let's peel off the skins of dragon snakes and carry them with you. Presumably those The snake will definitely not dare to get close." Her thoughts coincided with mine, I immediately turned my gaze to the dragon snake above, and suddenly saw the eyes of the dragon snake, and I don't know when it turned. After a while, the eyeballs were still emerald green, glowing in the dark.

I was so frightened that I immediately raised my shotgun and pointed it at the snake's head.I remember very clearly that the dragon snake's eyes had already shrunk, and there were only two big holes in the eye sockets, and there were no eyeballs at all.

As soon as the shotgun was pointed, the dim light suddenly disappeared, as if the eyelids were closed to block the sight.

The only light in the temple is the flashlight we put on the ground.Then under the dim light, one could only see the dragon snake with a hard skeleton, covered with loose snake skin, and its huge mouth opened angrily, as if it was telling some grievances, but the green light had long since disappeared without a trace.

Tofu and Gu Wenmin saw that my expression changed drastically, so they asked me what happened, and I explained the reason, Gu Wenmin said: "No, I'm afraid there are other things in this temple, look for it quickly."

It's useless for her to say more, we have searched carefully along the Dragon Temple, the Dragon Temple is not big, and after a few steps left and right, we have a thorough look, and there is no hiding anything else.

So what are those green eyes I just saw?It can't be my illusion, right?At this time, Tofu said: "Old Chen, are you still venomous from the snake, are you delusional, and misread? How can you have green eyes?"

I was also puzzled for a moment, ignored the tofu, and only said to the two: "It's better to be careful, the snakes outside will not go away for a while, and it seems that they have no intention of coming in, let's take a rest first." Rest, think of a way."

The three of them got together immediately, took out some food, and shook off the red hanging from the dragon snake's body, mixed with the rotten table in the temple, and lit a bonfire.Although it was summer, the night in the mountains was extremely cold. The three of them sat by the bonfire with dignified expressions.

At this moment, the group of snakes outside are looking around, they don't know what will happen in the future, trapped here, it is inevitable that they will feel aggrieved.I lowered my head and thought about the countermeasures, and I had an idea in my heart, as long as I could figure out why the snakes didn't enter the temple and what they were afraid of, the matter would be solved.

Gu Wenmin came out with some dry food and water, and the three of them discussed while eating, but they didn't have any clues. I was not very hungry, and with the dry food in my hand, I was only focused on analyzing the problem. As soon as I gave it to my mouth, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Why is this biscuit soft?
Fortunately, I just touched my mouth and haven't sent it in. I thought the biscuit was expired. I lowered my eyes and found that there was some saliva-like liquid on the biscuit, which softened the biscuit. It looked very disgusting. Scolding Tofu: "You foodie, why is your saliva dripping on my biscuits?"

Even the compressed biscuits tasted delicious tofu. Hearing this, he said angrily, "I'm sitting across from you, how can I drool on your biscuits. Let me tell you, you can't always frame me like this, biscuits have dignity too! "

Gu Wenmin said: "Stop arguing, it may have been accidentally touched with water, just throw this piece away." I threw the biscuit into the fire, and before I could retract my hand, a drop of cold liquid dripped from the top. When it landed on my hand, everyone could see it clearly. Don't raise their heads at the same time, they saw a huge green snake coiled on the top of the temple, with its tail hanging down, occasionally dripping a drop or two of mucus.

There is a saying in the country that the urine of snakes is viscous, so where the snake crawls, there is usually a white substance left behind, which is formed after the urine dries up.

I don't know how long this giant snake has been around. Its tail is wrapped around the beam, and its front half is hidden in the dark. It is extremely terrifying. It is only five meters above our heads. The three of us didn't know it before. Eating and drinking below, the mucus on the biscuit was obviously dripping snake urine.

The thought that I nearly ate that biscuit made me sick.

The big snake was not disturbed, it crawled on it motionless, only the snake tail swayed slightly occasionally.

Now we are really in the snake's den.There are dragon snakes enshrined in the temple, thousands of small snakes and snake kings piled up outside the gate, and now there is a big python on the top of the temple.Although I can't tell how big it is, but just by this tail, I know it's a big guy, and it's definitely not a problem to swallow one at a time.

Tofu opened his mouth, his teeth chattering, unable to speak.Gu Wenmin has always been calm, but at this moment her whole body became weak, her shoulders leaned towards me, no one dared to speak for a while, and even held her breath, for fear of disturbing the things above her head.

However, luck, I don’t know if it likes to be against me. Even though the three of us have been cautious and dare not breathe, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness where the firelight could not shine.The pair of eyeballs were cold, and there was an evil intent, slowly approaching us from the darkness, as if the head of a snake was coming towards us.

Just the distance from the snake's tail to the pair of eyeballs is four or five meters away. God knows how big this giant snake is.

Suddenly seeing the pair of eyeballs approaching us from top to bottom, I said in shock: "Hurry up and hide." Gu Wenmin and Tofu were both a little weak from the shock, and their movements were clumsy, so I quickly pushed them, Pushing the two of them forward, I didn't have time to dodge, and when I turned my head, the snake head was already in front of me.

When I suddenly saw this head, I just felt my heart skip a beat. Even though I was so brave, I was completely taken aback.What kind of snake head is this? It is clearly a face with a big mouth, fangs, and long hair!
Back to back luck, could it be that the legendary monster transformed by taking the Dragon Snake Pill really existed?Could it be that the power of the curse is really so powerful that it wants to embarrass me everywhere!
I couldn't help feeling resentful in my heart, and thought: It's all caused by Wan Yaofei's old rice dumpling. If there is a chance, I will definitely dismantle her body and chop her bones to vent my anger.

This thought was just a flash, and at this moment, the big mouth that was split to the back of the ear, bared its fangs, and the stench in the mouth was unbearable. It opened its mouth and bit my head. The neck connected to the back of the head , like a giraffe, I don't know how long it is.
