Touch a corpse to fall in love

The reason why he came to the conclusion that the male basilisk was a usurper was because Cheng Xiao saw two human heads held by stone pillars on both sides of the throne.

That's a real human head.

The face of the human head was blue, but upon closer inspection, it was actually not blue, but something similar to lime had been smeared on the face.Should be something antiseptic.Both of these two heads have female faces, a bit like the clay statues of Bodhisattvas in the temple. At this time, the two heads are shrouded in the light from the cave, showing a hint of ferocity and gloom.

Cheng Xiao felt apprehensive in his heart, couldn't help stopping his steps, and had the urge to turn around and run away.

The giant python raised half of its body, flicked its tail symbolically, and stared at Cheng Xiao threateningly.

Cheng Xiao immediately gave up the idea of ​​running back, his eyes rolled around, and finally fixed on the stagnant water under the altar.

There was a splash of water behind him, Cheng Xiao looked back and found that the giant python was no longer at the end of the stone steps.After another shake, the altar under his feet trembled undetectably, and then Cheng Xiao saw a crooked, flat snake's head protruding from his upper right.

Cheng Xiao took a step back, tripped over something, and fell to the ground.

Cheng Xiao didn't dare to lower his head to see what was stumbling him, but just looked at the snake head of the giant python without blinking, in case it would suddenly jump up and eat him.

The giant python seemed to have other plans, its ice-yellow snake eyes stared at Cheng Xiao coldly, and Snake Xinzi made a "hissing" sound, then turned his gaze to look at the big stone pillar behind the throne.

This stone pillar is a stone pillar inserted upside down from the top of the cave, like a big cone.Now that Cheng Xiao is getting closer, he can see that there are many messy stone holes and some cracks on it, which look like a long time ago.

The stone holes are different in depth, but when Cheng Xiao glanced over, he was stunned to be attracted by one of the stone holes.

It was the most unremarkable one among the many stone holes, about the size of a fist, and it was dark inside, as if there was nothing there, and there seemed to be something disturbing hidden inside.

Kind of weird.

Moreover, its position is directly above the head on the right, about two fists away from that head.

The giant python sensed that Cheng Xiao had noticed the stone hole, so Snake Xinzi swallowed at a very fast speed for a while, then stared coldly at Cheng Xiao with icy snake eyes.

Cheng Xiao's scalp was a little numb. Judging from the layout of the stone platform, if he wanted to get close to the stone hole, he had only two choices.

First, pass between the throne and the stone pillar, so that he has to face two weird things. He feels that he does not have such a good psychological quality, so he has to pass this one; second, pass through the other side of the stone pillar, but because The layout of the stone platform was wide at the front and narrow at the back. The distance between the stone pillars and the edge of the stone platform was only more than one meter.

He didn't want to choose either.

With a sudden thought in his heart, Cheng Xiao clenched his fists, sat on the ground and looked at the giant python and said, "The stone hole...cough, there is no danger, right?"

There was a look of contempt in the giant python's eyes, and its big head tilted towards the throne, then stretched forward again, and then retracted to the edge of the stone platform again.

The meaning of this action was already clear, Cheng Xiao just paused for a moment, then followed the giant python's head to look at the throne, and immediately said "oh" in surprise.

It turned out that the male stone statue on the throne had something in its hand.

Because the thing was similar to a stone, and the color was also gray-black, so Cheng Xiao didn't notice it before.However, he still doesn't understand why the giant python asked him to look at this stone?

Seeing Cheng Xiao sitting on the stone platform, the giant python didn't intend to get up. With a big shake of its head, the snake's tail swung up somehow, bringing a large stream of water and throwing it on Cheng Xiao's body and face, making Cheng Xiao's body swell. Covered in water, he sat there in a daze, unable to react.

The sound of the snake's tail being thrown back into the pool was dull. Cheng Xiao woke up, and immediately shook the water from his hair, wiped his face and looked at the sullen python.

How dare this giant python have such a high IQ?Still know molesting people?

Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized - this is not teasing, this... should be a warning!

Looking intently into the eyes of the giant python, Cheng Xiao really found that the python was staring at him fiercely.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Cheng Xiao knew that the other party was already very impatient, and his delaying policy had completely failed.

Reluctantly getting up from the ground, Cheng Xiao walked towards the stone throne step by step.

Seeing this scene, the giant python seemed very satisfied. Its yellow snake eyes stared at Cheng Xiao unemotionally, and quickly swallowed the scarlet snake letter. With that appearance, even Cheng Xiao of a different species could feel its excitement.

It's like an old lecher who has been abstinent for thousands of years seeing a beautiful girl delivered to her door.Cheng Xiao kept complaining in his heart, and then became disgusted by his own analogy.

The giant python calmed down at this moment, quietly crawling on the edge of the stone platform.

Cheng Xiao walked over and carefully looked at the throne and the stone statue on the throne. The tentacles on the back of the throne were actually small snakes made of stone. A vivid feeling.

Taking a closer look at the stone statue sitting on the throne, Cheng Xiao felt something was wrong the more he looked at it.

The stone statue's left hand is resting on the armrest of the throne, and its right hand is resting on its right knee. It looks as if it will stand up at any time.It has its own majesty and deterrence.

However, Cheng Xiao was not surprised by the imposing manner of the stone statue, but... an indelible sense of familiarity.

With handsome long eyebrows, a straight bridge of nose, cool lips, and a face as sharp as a knife, Cheng Xiao has to admit that this is a very handsome man, but he has never seen him before.

So where did that sense of familiarity come from?Cheng Xiao couldn't figure it out for a while.

The giant python's snake eyes showed a look of optimism, and its tail whipped on the water surface again and again, making a "cracking" sound.

Cheng Xiao was disturbed by the sound, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't have any clue, so he stopped struggling, lowered his head and moved his gaze to the right hand of the stone statue.

In the palm of the stone statue's right hand is the gray-black stone, which is nothing special.

Cheng Xiao slowly stretched out his hand to the right hand of the stone statue, and touched an ordinary stone.

I thought the stone and the stone statue were integrated, but when Cheng Xiao touched it, he realized that the stone was oval and would move when he touched it. Obviously, after the stone statue was carved, he put it in the palm of the stone statue .

With a snap of his fingers, Cheng Xiao took the stone into his hands.

It is no different from ordinary stones, whether it is temperature, color, or hardness, there is no difference, except that the shape is rounder and the surface is smoother.

Looking sideways at the snake head on the edge of the stone platform, Cheng Xiao paused for a while, and saw an unspeakable emotion flowing in the giant python's yellow eyes, that emotion was very strange, like an old woman seeing herself separated for many years children in general...

Cheng Xiao was startled, the thing in his hand must be a snake egg, right?

Lifting the stone and looking at it again, Cheng Xiao frowned.Not to mention that this stone is only half the size of a palm, just looking at its flat gray and black appearance, it is definitely not an egg.

While Cheng Xiao seemed to be pondering the stone seriously, he watched the movement of the giant python out of the corner of his eye.

It wasn't that he was looking for death, but that after these stalemates, Cheng Xiao gradually understood.The boa constrictor probably needed him to do something for it, that's why he didn't kill him along the way, and brought him to his lair.Just a second ago, Cheng Xiao felt that he had no hope of escaping, but now, the situation seemed to be different.

Holding the stone in his hand, Cheng Xiao deliberately turned it around twice on the stone platform.

Unsurprisingly, the big snake's eyes of the python kept turning with the stone in his hand, and the snake's head followed Cheng Xiao's footsteps from left to right.

Cheng Xiao wanted to laugh, but he held it back abruptly.

Pointing to the stone pillar with the human head on the right, Cheng Xiao smiled and walked over.

If Cheng Xiao had any thoughts at this time, he just wanted to say thank you to the bus.

When I was in school, the bus would occasionally bring some gadgets back to the dormitory to play with. Among them, there was something Cheng Xiao was more interested in, and that was darts, knives and the like.At that time, the length of the dormitory was only seven or eight meters. The bus nailed the target plate to the innermost part of the dormitory, and then stood alone at the door or in the corridor outside the dormitory, shooting darts at the target plate more than ten meters away, almost hitting every shot.

At the beginning, Cheng Xiao couldn't hit the shot for four or five meters, but later he was able to hit it when it extended to more than ten meters.This is one of the few "skills" he has learned from Daba in the four years of college.

Carefully bypassing the stone pillar, Cheng Xiao tried to avoid contact with the stone pillar.The mummy's head was four or five centimeters taller than him, and he could see it as long as he raised his head a little, but now he really didn't want to meet the eyes of a mummy who had died for an unknown number of years, so he kept his head half down. .

Finally moving to the side of the "big cone" connecting the top and bottom of the cave, Cheng Xiao raised his hand to grab the surface full of stone holes.

Looking at it from this angle, as long as he moves a foot or two to the right, he can throw the stone in his hand into the deepest part of the cave without hindrance.

But that's not the point, the point is that he must quickly and accurately throw the stones into the holes on the deep rock wall—preferably smaller holes, so that even if the giant python wants to get out the stones, he can't. It takes some effort.

Although he can throw darts more than ten meters away, that doesn't mean he can throw stones more than ten meters away.One is that the stone is not small, and the other is that the cave is too big. Although the "big cone" is very close to the second half of the cave, it is still more than forty meters away from the cave wall.

Throwing half a hand-sized rock into the hole in the cave wall from such a distance is too challenging.

It can only depend on luck.

Looking up at the stone hole more than a foot above his head, Cheng Xiao stood on tiptoe and slowly sent the stone in his right hand upward.

Seeing that the python was half a palm away, Cheng Xiao's left hand on the stone pillar suddenly exerted strength, his body arched slightly, his right hand retreated half a meter, and then he slammed forward and smashed hard. To the depths of the cave.

The giant python let out a sharp and ear-piercing scream that didn't sound like a snake, and then raised its thick and long tail, and slammed it at Cheng Xiao on the stone pillar without stopping.

Cheng Xiao's eyes widened, and his body was tightly attached to the stone pillar, almost resigned to his fate, watching the big tail attacking him at high speed.

The next second, the python's tail stopped three meters in front of the throne, and with a "bang", the whole snake body fell off the stone platform.

Cheng Xiao's breathing stopped suddenly, and it took a long time before he began to gasp violently.

With such a ferocious attack just now, he thought he would be beaten into a meat paste by the giant python.

It now appears that his guess was right.

That giant python couldn't enter the stone platform, so it had to hold itself hostage to help it realize its wish.

A gleam of determination flashed across his eyes, and after hearing the sound of the giant python turning over, Cheng Xiao ran towards the stone steps where he came from without hesitation.The speed of his running was almost beyond his imagination, even because he was too fast to control his steps, he kicked the snake-shaped bronze objects on both sides of the stone steps several times.

This kind of stone steps is very simple, Cheng Xiao almost crossed three or four steps in one step, although there was some instability in the middle, but the speed did not slow down, and it almost took less than 30 seconds to rush to the bottom of the stone steps.

Knowing that time was running out, Cheng Xiao adjusted his center of gravity the moment he rushed down, and then rushed directly to the corridor.

This tunnel was formed naturally, not a downward-sloping tunnel, so Cheng Xiao's speed was still very fast, and it could even be said that he ran in at a speed of sprinting [-] meters.

Running out of the corridor in one breath, Cheng Xiao's lungs began to scream heart-piercingly - this kind of fast running is really not suitable for him, a college student who is used to sitting in classrooms and libraries.

The next corridor is sloping upwards, and because of the accumulated water, some rust and moss have grown on it, making it a bit slippery.

The light in the cave was very dim. Cheng Xiao looked at the little green moss here and there, and climbed up with hands and feet.

The speed has dropped, and the corridor is not short.

After about a third of the climb, Cheng Xiao heard a faint "bang bang bang" sound behind him, as well as a slight vibration of the surrounding stone walls.At the moment, my heart is half cold.

According to the attack power and speed of the giant python, it probably won't take a while to get out the rock and catch up.

Not daring to think about the consequences, Cheng Xiao could only grit his teeth and continue climbing.

The palm was scratched in several places, and a faint blood flowed down the stagnant water.Cheng Xiao raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cave, which was already close in front of him. In a flash, he saw a handsome face.

The other party came in with a hand, Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and when he stretched out his hand to hold that hand, he suddenly laughed.

Climbing out of the corridor, Cheng Xiao almost subconsciously looked around.

Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng are all there.

Ah Shu was there too, holding his hand.

"That giant python will come up later, we have to get out quickly." Cheng Xiao didn't dare to feel emotional, life-saving is the most important thing now.

Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng looked at each other, Ouyang Cheng put down the backpack on his shoulders, took three or four black lacquered balls with one hand, and flung them into the corridor with a "swish".Ouyang Fulin then took a red rope from his wrist, stood at the entrance of the corridor and made a few cumbersome and complicated gestures, turning the ordinary red rope into a fine and dense rope array to seal it in the corridor hole.

All this happened in an instant, Cheng Xiao couldn't believe that they solved it so easily.

"You..." Cheng Xiao didn't know what to say, Ashu told him back then that in this world, [he is just like ordinary people].According to Cheng Xiao's understanding, the meaning of this sentence should mean that they cannot use non-scientific power.But now Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng have used the power of profound arts.

Ouyang Fulin took out a dark yellow cloth from his trouser pocket, and said, "We found it according to this map. After entering here, we found that part of the mana can be used."

Cheng Xiao was dumbfounded.

That cloth is the Warring States Silk Book found on the fake Wang Hong. He always thought it was a fake, a fake silk book; , are inextricably linked with it.

What is it?Why can lead them here?Is it dead, or alive?

Cheng Xiao looked at the silk script, and at this moment, gradually felt a kind of horror and fear from the soul.

Just as Cheng Xiao was thinking about this, there was a sound of a large creature passing through the stagnant water in the sealed passageway.

Trying to calm down, Cheng Xiao tried to make his voice as natural as possible: "No matter what, we can't go down this tunnel. That giant python is not an ordinary python. It is almost like a human being. It can think and understand human speech. We have to get out of here."

Ouyang Fulin nodded: "Alright, the route on this silk book is very complicated. It seems that there is more than one passage leading to the bottom. Let's go up first and find a new route before we find a solution."

After reaching an agreement, Ah Shu picked up the backpack on the ground one step faster than Ouyang Cheng, then pulled Cheng Xiao and walked towards the wooden bridge.

Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng followed closely behind.

Just a few steps up the wooden bridge, several people heard the sound of the giant python hitting the seal.

It's still the kind of scream that doesn't sound like a snake, it's harsh, but it's comparable to the sound of a dolphin, but it's a pity that this sound is sharp and will damage people's hearing.

Ah Shu paused, and after about three or four seconds, he suddenly said urgently: "Back! Quick! Back!"

Cheng Xiao was taken aback. He didn't understand why Ah Shu was so excited all of a sudden. There was a dead end in the future. Wouldn't it be the same to sentence the four of them to death if they retreated?

Ouyang Fulin and Ouyang Cheng didn't think so much like Cheng Xiao, they turned around and ran back without hesitation almost the moment Ah Shu yelled out—these three seemed to be in Cheng Xiao's absence. At that time, some kind of tacit understanding, or consensus, has been reached.

Ah Shu was not surprised that Cheng Xiao was half a beat behind, turned around and quickly bent over to pick him up, and also ran towards the way he came, but before he reached the stone platform, the wooden bridge had already "clicked" It broke off at both ends.

Cheng Xiao gasped, and fell down with Ah Shu.
