Although I still can't understand what the shadow's cry means, but this time it screamed very quickly, as if it had discovered some dangerous situation and was warning us.
I was about to ask Guiyan Chen what Shadowing meant when he suddenly raised his head and his face changed slightly.
I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart and quickly asked: "Uncle Chen, is something going on?"
When Jianjian heard about the situation, he immediately stuttered in his speech: "Chen...Uncle Chen, didn't you say that as long as there is a place where coffin mushrooms grow, there will never be ghosts or anything like that?"
, how could..."
Before he finished speaking, Guiyan Chen waved his hand and frowned and said: "It is true that there is no such thing as ghosts and evil spirits, but there may be another more terrifying thing."
"What?" I asked quickly.
Ghost Eye Chen took a deep breath and said word by word: "One-horned Earth Dragon!"
"You...what did you say!? Dragon!?" Jianjian and I shouted almost in unison.
I thought I heard it wrong and asked, "Uncle Chen, were you talking about dragons just now!?"
Ghost Eye Chen nodded solemnly: "Yes! However, this one-horned earth dragon is not a dragon in the true sense, but a snake. It is covered with dragon scales, has no legs, and has a single horn on its head.
, can penetrate water and drill into the ground, so it is called a one-horned earth dragon, also known as a dragon. There is an old saying: a dragon with one horn is a dragon, a dragon with two horns is a qiu, and a hornless dragon is a chi. It is said that this dragon is the product of the mating of a dragon and a snake.
thing.”
"Jiaolong?" I was slightly startled, "I have heard of this, but I always thought that the so-called dragon is just a name for dragon, but I didn't expect that there is such a difference."
Ghost Eye Chen continued: "The dragon is not a sacred beast, but after all, it has dragon blood flowing in its body, and it is absolutely unmatched by ordinary people. The reason why it appears here is to eat the thousand-year-old coffin in the ancient tomb.
Mushrooms, it is said that as long as a dragon eats seven or forty-nine thousand-year-old coffin mushrooms that have become human-shaped, it can sublimate into a dragon!"
"Holy shit, if you put it this way, we are trying to snatch food from the dragon's mouth! Brother! How about we forget it? At worst, we can find another ancient tomb with a coffin mushroom on the rope, so we won't offend this owner!" Listen!
After hearing what Gui Yan Chen said, Jian Jian couldn't help but retreat.
Ghost Eye Chen lightly snorted: "Hmph! Find another place? Easier said than done! Coffin mushrooms can be found but not sought. I discovered this thousand-year-old ancient tomb with coffin mushrooms by chance more than ten years ago. If I missed it today,
With this coffin mushroom, Na Wen Qingshan's life..." He said this, looked at me, and then changed the subject: "But that guy's life or death has nothing to do with me anyway. Brother Shi Yu, this matter is still yours.
Make up your mind!"
I pondered for a moment, pulled out the dragon tooth from my waist, and said coldly: "I have decided to take the coffin mushroom today! If the one-horned earth dragon dares to come, I will let it taste the true dragon tooth.
sharp!"
Ghost Eye Chen immediately said: "Okay! Let's hurry up and get the coffin mushroom out as soon as possible!"
"Then what if the one-horned earth dragon comes?" Jianjian said worriedly.
Ghost Eye Chen looked up and said: "It may not be a one-horned earth dragon, maybe it's just an ordinary mountain beast. And even if it is really a one-horned earth dragon, judging from the height where Shadow is now, it should still be
It's half a mile away, we can't come here so quickly, we still have time."
Hearing what Guiyan Chen said, we didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly continued digging the soil with our bare hands. Thinking that the one-horned earth dragon might kill him at any time, the movements of the three of them obviously sped up a lot. After a while, the whole
We then dug out the outline of the coffin cover.
This means that the coffin can now be opened, but a new problem has been encountered. Because the three of us are now standing directly above the coffin, it is impossible to open the coffin lid.
Fortunately, Guiyan Chen had experience in this area, and he quickly thought of a way, which was to use a rope to fix one end of the coffin lid. Then the three of us stood outside the pit, grabbed the rope, and pulled up together.
Can open the coffin lid.
However, because the lid and body of the entire coffin are tightly closed, it is not easy to fix the rope to the lid. It took us a long time to finally fix the rope.
The three people quickly climbed out of the pit, grabbed the other end of the rope, and pulled up together.
What we didn't expect was that the coffin lid made of golden nanmu was not very thick. Coupled with the angle problem, the three of us almost tried our best to open the coffin lid.
I was extremely anxious, but Jianjian suddenly let go of his hand and said: "We can't pull like this, we have to use the principle of leverage!"
"Leverage principle? What does it mean?" Guiyan Chen asked with a confused look on his face. The leverage principle is a physics term. He had never studied physics at that time, so naturally he couldn't understand it.
Jianjian explained: "Just find a fulcrum, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort." After hearing what he said, I immediately understood what he meant, and it was indeed his idea.
I looked around and saw that about four or five meters away from the grave, there was a big tree about half a meter in diameter. Although it was a little far away, our rope was long enough. If we use the trunk of this big tree
As a fulcrum, maybe we can actually pull the coffin lid open.
Just as we were told, we wrapped the rope around the tree trunk, used the trunk as a fulcrum, and pulled hard together, and finally the coffin lid was opened.
Ghost Eye Chen immediately turned to me and said, "Brother Shi Yu, give me the piece of black cloth I gave you just now, and I'll go get the coffin mushrooms."
I didn't understand why I needed a black cloth to get the coffin mushrooms, but I didn't ask any more and immediately took the black cloth out of my backpack and handed it to Ghost Eye Chen.
Ghost Eye Chen took the piece of black cloth and without saying a word, jumped into the pit. Jianjian and I were about to follow him to see what the coffin mushroom looked like and how it grew on the bridge of the dead man's nose.
Yes, who would have thought that we just walked to the pit and didn't have time to jump into it?
, the shadow's urgent call came again from above the head, and this time, the height of the shadow's hovering was significantly lower than before, almost flying close to the tree tops, and the sound was even more urgent, which meant
Now, the danger is already very close to us.
I didn't dare to be careless, so I quickly pulled out the dragon's tooth from my waist, turned around and looked around, but because it was pitch dark among the trees, I couldn't see anything clearly.
Jianjian also looked very nervous. Since he didn't bring any weapons, he had to quickly pick up a military shovel from the ground and hold it tightly in his hand.
After a while, Ghost Eye Chen climbed up from the pit. When he saw the two of us in this posture, and the urgent cry from the shadow above his head, he immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly used the black piece of
He handed me the thing wrapped in cloth and said, "Put this coffin mushroom away first!"
I didn't even bother to open it to see what the so-called coffin mushroom looked like, so I quickly put it into my backpack.
I had just zipped up my backpack when a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes on our left. Everyone's nerves were tense. When they heard the sound, they immediately turned around and looked around, although there was still nothing.
I couldn't see it, but through the moonlight, I found that the bushes were trembling slightly. At the same time, I also smelled a faint fishy smell like dead fish. This is really strange, there are no ponds around here.
Yes, why is there such a fishy smell coming from it?
Ghost Eye Chen's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's coming!"
Hearing what he said, I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine and my heart was beating wildly.
In fact, I'm not saying that I'm afraid of this so-called one-horned earth dragon. In my opinion, the one-horned earth dragon should be on the same level as the black water black snake. The key is that it is now hidden in the dark. We
I could only hear its movements, but could not see its traces, and I had no idea where it would suddenly jump out from. This factor greatly amplified the fear deep in my heart.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down a little. My body contains the power of the dragon soul, and I have extraordinary insight. As long as I concentrate, I can see normally even in the dark.
I could see something more or less. But I was so nervous at the moment that I couldn't concentrate at all.
At this moment, Jianjian suddenly turned on the flashlight. I was stunned at first, and then I thought about it. Now that I have got the coffin mushrooms, and Guiyan Chen is wrapped in an airtight black cloth, what are we doing?
I also had to avoid using a flashlight! So I quickly took out the flashlight.
The two of us were holding strong military flashlights, and the surrounding area immediately became brighter. Perhaps affected by the sudden light, the "rustling" sound stopped abruptly. I couldn't help but wonder, because snakes have poor eyesight.
Therefore, it is slow to react to light, and since this dragon is also a snake, it should not be so sensitive to light.
I quickly scanned the surrounding area with my flashlight, but the vegetation a few meters away was very lush, so I still couldn't find where it was hiding. And strangely, the shadow stopped calling, and it stopped at a big tree.
On the tree, with his head lowered, he seemed to be observing what was going on around him.
The three of us held our breaths, not daring to let out the air. For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence. I was wondering where the thing would be hiding, when suddenly there was another "rustling" from the grass nearby.
The sound made my heart tighten, and I quickly turned around to see a fluffy gray figure quickly emerging from the grass. The three of us were startled, but when we looked more closely, it turned out to be just a gray figure.
Brown rabbit.
The rabbit seemed frightened and panicked. It ran around the cemetery and soon got into the grass again and disappeared.
