Before I could see if Tetsuo had fallen, the second brother had already pulled me into the hole in front of me.

The three of us were still immersed in the giant python entrenched at the bottom of the valley. I was very shocked. I didn't expect that the previous legend was true. There was really a hundred-meter-long giant python hidden in Wulong Mountain.

Finally, it was Dawu who broke the silence: "Second Master, Third Master, did you see just now that the giant python seemed... to be shedding its skin?"

My eyesight is not particularly good, and the situation was critical just now, so I didn't pay much attention to the giant python. Dawu said that it was shedding its skin, but I wasn't sure.

But the second brother seemed to have seen it. He nodded, with a gloomy look on his face: "This time we are a blind cat and a dead mouse. It is very likely that we have encountered the time when the last giant python in this mountain turns into a dragon...

Once it has finished shedding its skin, we have to walk into the river. The mountain may collapse by then, so we have to find a way out quickly. We don’t want the secret treasure, but we need to save our lives first.”

We got off the stone platform. The structure here is completely different from the tunnel we saw before passing the ropeway.

The height of this tunnel is much higher than before, and the walls have become very smooth. The stones seem to have been specially polished, and there are few sharp edges.

There are many forks in the tunnel. We were in the middle of a fork. I randomly found a fork and looked inside with a flashlight. I was shocked to find that there were still very long tunnels in these forks, but

There are arch-shaped holes on both sides of the tunnel, which are very similar to the cave dwellings in Yan'an.

I hunched over and entered an arched cave. There was nothing inside. On the contrary, there were a lot of gravel fragments on the ground, as well as some unknown black strips. The long ones were five or six meters long, and the short ones were only a few meters long.

When it reaches one meter, it looks a bit like hemp rope stained with kerosene.

I looked at the tunnels at several other forks and found that they were all laid out like this. I said, "Could this be the ruins of the Liuzhi Clan? These arches are about 1.8 meters long, and the space in the arches is very large."

It’s large and can support two to three people in a normal life.”

After observing for a while, the second brother shook his head at me: "Impossible... It is impossible to live in this kind of arch house. There are no windows in these arch houses, that is, only one person lives in each arch. This plus

There are dozens of arches and at least dozens of people must live there. With so many people living in such a small space, it is easy to lack oxygen without vents.”

What the second brother said makes sense, but if these arches are not for people to live in, what are they used for?

Now it is certain that these arch holes are the ruins left by the Liuzhi Clan, but they will not build some useless arch holes, not to mention that this is within the mountain. Dozens of such arch holes need to be carved out. It can be said that

It takes a lot of manpower and time. Are these arches just for viewing?

The second brother didn't seem to be able to figure this out. He was looking around with a flashlight. At this time, Dawu suddenly said: "Master Qiu, do you smell a strange smell... I don't know what to do with this smell."

describe."

After listening to Dawu's words, I sniffed hard, but I didn't smell what Dawu said. I guessed it was a problem of smoking too much. After suffering from rhinitis, my sense of smell became less sensitive.

The second brother also sniffed hard, but he didn't smell anything. He smoked more cigarettes than me.

But when I walked into the archway and sniffed hard, I did smell a strange smell. It was like the smell of livestock in the doghouse I raised when I was a child, fishy and noisy.

I squatted down and used a dagger to pick up a "hemp rope" on the ground that looked like it had been soaked in kerosene. The strong fishy smell became particularly obvious. It seemed that all these smells came from the "hemp rope".

I tried to cut it with a dagger, but found that it was very tough and not easy to cut. I spent some effort, and after cutting it, I found that the incision revealed a very conspicuous pattern.

I squatted on the ground and stared at it carefully for a long time. I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Suddenly, the second brother suddenly shouted from the archway behind me: "Qiuzi, Dawu, get the hell out of here, this is a snake nest!"

When my second brother mentioned the word "snake nest", my pupils quickly widened as I looked at the "hemp rope" cut off by the quilt in front of me, and then I felt a chill all over my body.

This is not a hemp rope, this is pure withered snake skin!

At this time, I also realized that these arch holes are really not used to live in people. I am afraid they are snake nests used by the Liuzhi tribe to raise snakes!

At the same time, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from my ears, followed immediately by the sound of spitting out snakes!

"It's sunny, run quickly, all the snakes are out!"

Dawu also shouted outside, and soon I heard the sound of his shooting.

I threw down the snake skin and ran out. In the dim light, I noticed that the ground where we had just entered was covered in black and the snake was squirming all over!

At this time, the escape route has been blocked by these snakes, and snakes are constantly crawling in through the hole we entered just now. I suddenly realized that there might not only be that one sky-swallowing giant python in the valley just now, but there are many more like this below.

little snake.

That’s basically a Snake Valley!

Dawu held the flashlight in his mouth and kept shooting at the ground. When a snake died, snakes immediately jumped over their bodies and crawled toward us.

"Qiuzi, don't be stunned, come here quickly, the exit is over here!" The second brother called me from behind. I took a few steps back and immediately ran towards the second brother.

The tunnel where the second brother was located did not have an arch, but the tunnel was very narrow. The second brother walked forward eagerly with a flashlight, and I followed him. Outside, Dawu was shooting and retreating towards us, but once he stopped shooting, those who

The little snake jumped forward like crazy.

I was so anxious that I took out a few cold fireworks from my bag. After lighting them, I shouted to Dawu: "Dawu, come in quickly!"

Dawu put away his gun and ran directly towards me. I took the opportunity to throw the cold fireworks in my hand into the pile of snakes. The snakes burned instantly, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat.

But soon those snakes also poured into the tunnel. While changing bullets, Dawu said: "Third Master, keep throwing, don't stop, there is a big guy outside."

I took out the few remaining cold fireworks in my bag and quickly threw them into the pile of snakes. All the snakes in the tunnel were burned, and soon no more snakes came towards us. But the next moment, I was so scared that my legs went weak.

, a snake eye the size of a watermelon suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tunnel. The snake eye stared coldly at the three of us in the tunnel.

This snake is black and gold. Although it is not as big as the sky-swallowing python in the valley just now, it is still thirty or forty meters long.

Fortunately, its body is too big to fit into this tunnel.
