Chapter 45: Black Snake
However, when I saw the scene inside, my face was full of confusion.
Behind the tomb door is not the main tomb chamber, but another tomb passage.
But this tomb passage is different from other tomb passages. This tomb passage looks more like it was thickened later.
On both sides of the wall, there are more rocks about fifty centimeters thick.
The fat man probably just hit the extra rocks on both sides of the wall.
Seeing the tomb passage like this, I was a little puzzled. I thought that the tomb passage was already narrow enough for two people to walk side by side.
However, what I didn't expect was that it was even narrower inside, and the extra rocks protruded directly.
It takes up almost half of the entire tomb passage, and it will probably be difficult for anyone to walk through it.
I looked at the dark tomb passage in front of me and thought to myself, what on earth is the owner of this tomb doing?
What is the purpose of adding such thick rocks to the tomb passage?
The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong. I always felt that this form did not look like it was protecting the tomb from being stolen.
On the contrary, it is more like protecting something, otherwise it would be just a tomb, and it would not be possible to build so many "protective layers".
Compared with all the tombs I have robbed before, this protection standard is comparable to national defense!
"Arlene! What's inside this girl! Mader hurts me so much!"
The fat man asked me with a painful look on his face as he rubbed his head.
"There are very thick rocks inside, I guess it's an anti-theft layer."
After hearing what I said, the fat man immediately stopped rubbing his hands and asked doubtfully:
"A security layer is added to the tomb passage? Is this tomb owner crazy? What? Are you afraid that someone will steal his stairs?"
I shook my head and said:
"I don't know. Maybe it's used to prevent earthquakes. It's just a thickened rock because I'm afraid it will collapse."
Although this sounds outrageous to me, I am not yet certain of the role of this rock layer.
You can only pray silently that it is not a trap.
However, at this time, I seemed to hear a few "whistle" sounds coming from inside the tomb passage.
I quickly asked the fat man if he heard any sounds in the tomb passage.
The fat man looked at me in confusion and didn't hear the answer.
Immediately I felt something was wrong, and wondered if there was really a trap here.
Or is there something unclean in here?
I used my flashlight to shine inside. It was pitch black and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
The ground was also pitch black, so dark that the light from the flashlight reflected on the ground.
It's like the ground has been smeared with good black shoe polish, it's shiny.
I suddenly discovered! Those "black shoe polish" seemed to be crawling constantly, just like caterpillars.
I felt goosebumps all over the floor. I rubbed my eyes, thinking that I must have been too stressed out recently.
The visual illusion caused by it may be that the black things are just ordinary gravels.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ground in the tomb passage with my flashlight.
But the reflection is so strong, it's like the ground is covered with mirrors, and everything it shines on is bright.
I couldn't see clearly what was on the ground.
Since I was a child, I have been very interested in unclear things, especially things in tombs, and I will not give up until I understand them.
At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that the fat man might still have fire certificates in his backpack.
Since you can't see clearly what's inside with the flashlight's light, light the fire stick and throw it in.
If you let the fire breakers directly touch the ground, you may know what is on the ground.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and walked to the fat man, and took out the only three torches in my backpack.
Returning to the tomb door again, I quickly lit a fire stick and threw it into the dark tomb passage.
The entrance to the tomb was like a giant black dragon, and Huozhezi was immediately devoured as soon as he entered.
As the fire broke down, the area nearby lit up instantly.
When I saw what was on the ground clearly, my brain was buzzing with fear!
That shiny black thing is not a black slate, let alone "black shoe polish".
They are black and shiny black snakes!
The black snakes cover each other, so we can no longer use the word "tiao" to describe them, we have to use "tuan"!
Large and small, criss-crossed together, layer upon layer.
The dense mass almost covers the entire tomb passage.
The dandruff on my scalp was standing on end.
But the black snake seemed to be afraid of fire. As soon as the fire broke, it hit the black snake.
The black snakes seemed to have seen the god of plague. Although they had no legs, their entire bodies seemed to be lubricated.
He "swimmed" around in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he was two steps away from Huo Zhezi.
It's okay if I don't climb, but I feel a little scared when I look at it.
On this climb, there are countless black snakes, as thin and long as hair.
In addition, countless black snakes crawled over the same kind of bodies quickly.
The scales all over the body made a "creaking" sound during the rapid friction.
It was like those black snakes were laughing, I almost exploded when I heard it!
The fat man also heard the sound made by the black snake and asked me:
"Arlene, why are you laughing? Why is it so weird?"
At this time, my whole body was cold, and the hand holding the flashlight kept shaking.
I wanted to open my mouth to reply to the fat man, but at this time I found that my whole body was numb.
Looking at the black snakes that covered the entire tomb passage, I didn't dare to move, for fear that these black snakes would notice and rush out.
Even if one bite can't kill them, there are so many snakes, one bite at a time.
It only takes a moment to become bones.
I swallowed nervously, turned my head tremblingly, and forced out a few words:
"Fat... man, snake... there is a snake!"
I said it in a very low voice, but when the fat man didn't respond, I thought he didn't hear me.
I was just about to repeat it again, but before I could speak.
I saw the fat man standing up suddenly and shouting:
"Snake! Where did the snake come from! Fatty, I was just trying to eat snake meat!" Then the fat man pulled out a dagger from his waist and said:
"Where's the snake? Arlene, let me make you some stewed snake heart!"
When the fat man yelled like this, I cursed secretly, took a breath, and said to myself, you damn fat man is such a pig!
What nonsense are you talking about after robbing a tomb? I even doubt whether the butcher’s IQ will be affected if he eats his meat!
I looked at the black snake in the tomb passage again, which was coiled up in a ball just now, and now I was shouted at by the fat man.
Just like a frightened horse, it exploded in an instant and crawled around in the tomb passage.
The speed is faster, and the sound of the scales rubbing is getting louder and louder, which makes my eardrums hurt.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I couldn't care so much.
He lit the remaining two fire sticks together and threw them into the tomb passage.
As soon as it was thrown in, it was like throwing in two grenades. The black snakes fled in all directions, and Kuku hit the wall.
Before these black snakes could attack me, I pulled the damn fat man and prepared to run back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I grabbed the fat man's hand, I heard a "whoosh" sound.
A black snake jumped up.
Open his mouth wide, showing his fangs.
