With a sense of luck, Angel stood there and watched the giant python swim away. But soon, his luck was shattered. The giant python swam for a while and then turned to look at him. Although he said nothing, he was cold.
His eyes seemed to speak a thousand words.
"Okay, okay, you lead the way, and I'll follow you." Angel sighed. He was unlucky enough, thinking that he would be safe because of the "Wanyu Xinxing", but he actually encountered a wizard-level monster!
Is this a prophetic statement?
"Toby, why don't you go first and help me explore the way?" Angel wanted Toby to leave alone, but Toby said nothing and sat back on the top of his tall hat without moving.
The direction of movement of the giant python was also along the current. Of course, Angel would not really foolishly think that a monster would be kind to him, so he did not put away Wan Yu Xingxing along the way, and his eyes kept spinning, thinking.
Ways to break the situation.
But the underground water area was too wide, and it was so dark that it was easy to get lost. Even if he had the light technique, it wouldn't be able to illuminate very far. He didn't even know whether the water channel was a cliff or a hollow.
After swimming for a few more minutes, Angel now began to wonder, was this waterway really the way the villagers left?
In the black water channel in front, just hold your breath and swim faster. Ordinary people can come here. But this water channel, or this section of underground water, can ordinary people really leave from here according to their abilities?
But if we didn't go here, why were there corpses along the way? Angel didn't believe it if he was killed by this giant python. Not to mention whether there was this giant python thousands of years ago, if it was really killed by the giant python,
Dead, at least the bones cannot be so well preserved.
Doubts popped up in Angel's mind one by one. Before he could think about it completely, the giant python suddenly swam upstream.
Angel had no choice but to float up.
Soon, Angel floated to the surface of the water. Using the light technique, Angel found that the space above the water surface was not large, like an upside-down bowl, with a diameter of up to ten meters.
However, there is a hole in this "upside-down bowl". No one knows what is going on in the black hole. After the giant python's huge head floated on the water, it has been lurking silently and without movement.
Angel was only four or five meters away from him at this time, and he could feel the hugeness of this snake even more.
The giant python never came ashore, but stared at Angel with its pale golden vertical pupils, and the urging in his eyes was obvious.
Angel was also a little at a loss and continued to search for an exit in the diving area. This was a bit unrealistic. He couldn't outrun the giant python at all, and there was a question mark about where the exit was. But just going to a dark hole like this, and it was very likely that it was a giant python.
He felt even more dangerous in the python's lair.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Angel asked.
The giant python was speechless and kept staring at Angel.
Angel changed his expression method and directly communicated with the giant python using his emotions. But the giant python still made no move, and his eyes were so cold that it was embarrassing.
Angel's eyes were still rolling, wondering if there were any other props in the bracelet that could help him out. He even thought about letting Toby use Gadu to lead him to sprint for a while, and then turn on the boundless silence to hide on one side, but the water flow was too strong.
His position is easily exposed. The invisibility of boundless silence does not mean escaping into the void. As long as the water flow passes by, his position will be exposed.
Angel thought for a while and climbed onto the shore. If you want to escape in boundless silence, you must not be underwater.
After he landed, the giant python also slowly climbed up, and its huge body was exposed to the air for the first time. The giant python swayed and followed Angel into the cave. Along the way, Angel
See those water droplets rolling down from its black scales and dripping into the ground, filling the ground with moisture.
Seeing this, Angel became even more certain that the wet marks on the ground in the cave were caused by the giant python.
In other words, this python has been watching them from the dark? Finally, it opened the channel at the bottom of the lake and lured them there?
The behavior of the pythons is too strange. If we really want to deal with them, why aren't they at the bottom of the lake? Or is it that the bottom of the lake is too cramped to spread out? But this doesn't make sense.
Angel decided to remain silent for the time being and follow it to the end to see what it wanted to do.
…
The cave becomes wider and wider as we go to the back, and it's wide enough for hundreds of giant pythons to live here without fear of crowding.
Angel is happy to see this kind of terrain. Once he really decides to escape, the wider it is, the more boundless and silent the effect will be.
As he went deeper, Angel discovered that there were lighting plants here, but they were different from the plants in the inner earth world that grew at the top and absorbed the light of the sun and moon. These plants looked like dandelions, but were round and fluffy.
The group can emit a bright green light.
From a distance, it looks like a group of green fireflies.
Although the fluorescent light is not big, it can't resist the light and there are so many plants. So when we got to the back section of the road, we just relied on the fluorescent dandelions to illuminate this huge underground cave very brightly.
Soon, they arrived at their destination. Although there seemed to be a road ahead, the python did not go any further.
Angel looked deeper into the passage, wondering if the end would be the exit passage?
But now was not the time to investigate. He wanted to know what the python was going to do.
As the giant python entered another passage, this passage was a truly closed passage. Although it was very spacious inside, he could see the end at a glance through the light of the fluorescent dandelions. This was probably the python's lair.
Already?
The giant python slowly moved to a pothole,
Angel also came over, stood in front of the pothole, and looked down.
It was so dark that nothing could be seen. Angel speculated that this might be the python's lair.
At this time, the giant python slowly picked up a shining dandelion and threw it into the pit.
The shining dandelions were spinning and falling slowly. As the shining light shone, Angel's eyes suddenly widened! This pothole was not the place where the giant python lived as he imagined, because under the shining light
Under the reflection, the bottom of the pit was actually covered with bones!
The fluorescent light can only illuminate a corner, but based on the density of bones at the bottom of the pit, one can imagine how many bones there are at the bottom of the entire pit?!
At least hundreds, even thousands!
When Angel was shocked, he also noticed something: the skeletons at the bottom of the pit were also complete, and most of the skeletons were surrounded by... medical kits.
The familiar medical box made Angel immediately confirm that these skeletons should be the villagers of the deserted village.
Could it be that the villagers he thought had escaped from the deserted village were actually here?
None of them escaped and they all died here?
Who killed them? Was it a python? The answer should be no. With the size of a python, it would be easy to crush them, but the bones here are extremely complete.
Angel turned back to look at the giant python beside him. He could faintly see the sadness in the python's golden vertical pupils.
Sad? Will pythons grieve for humans?
Could it be that there is some special connection between this giant python and these bones?
"...Special connection?" When Angel thought about this, he suddenly remembered something. He took out the medical box found at the bottom of the lake from his bracelet, and took out a medicine bottle from it. On the outside of the medicine bottle was carved a
The strange mark is a snake with black scales, wrapped around a silver-white ring-shaped long cone.
Looking at this mark, Angel looked at the black giant python next to him.
"Could this snake be you?" Angel asked in a low voice as he looked at the python that continued to mourn.
The giant python turned its head and took a look, lowered its head slightly and did not speak, but slid down the wall of the pit.
Although the giant python remained silent, it did not deny Angel's question. And judging from its behavior, perhaps the giant python was really the snake on the mark.
A real snake was used as the symbol in the badge. Angel narrowed his eyes and thought of some evil religions.
But as a doctor, on the day he takes the oath of office, he is destined to go against evil. Since doctors all choose to use snakes as their symbol, does it mean there is a story behind this snake? Or, this snake actually represents
A spiritual belief?
While Angel was guessing, the python slowly climbed up again, but this time it brought something with it.
Angel had seen it before. The python seemed to be looking for something in the pile of bones. Now that it had found it, he brought it up.
When Angel saw what the python brought up, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It’s actually a coffin?!
This is a coffin made of black oilwood. This kind of oilwood is extremely rare. It will not rot for ten thousand years in a humid environment. It is often used to make coffins in the mortal world. In the wizarding world, it is also regarded as a low-level magic plant.
, the best substitute for making transfer shafts in mechanical alchemy.
The coffin body is black and the coffin lid is pure white. There is also a mark of "a snake wrapped around a long cone" engraved on the coffin lid.
After the giant python brought the coffin up, it gently pushed its head against Angel's side.
After the giant python finished all this, it looked at Angel quietly, with a trace of imperceptible pleading in its vertical pupils that should have been a cold-blooded creature.
"You brought me here to help you bury this coffin?" Angel asked with confusion as he looked at the coffin at his feet.
Angel asked while gently placing his hand on the coffin.
Just when Angel's hand came into contact with the coffin, a strange change occurred——
The coffin suddenly started shaking violently, swaying left and right, and the lid of the coffin bounced, as if something was trying to get out unwillingly.
"Corpse?" Angel retracted his hand with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
After the death of the corpse, if the soul has not left the body, special means can be used to make the corpse exist in the form of a "ghoul". If the soul has left the body, there is also a chance of becoming a "walking zombie".
Whether they are walking corpses or ghosts, they are very low-level monsters, and wizards generally disdain to refine them. Rather than tinkering with dead corpses, wizards prefer to refine living people into puppets. For example, the famous "Puppet Master" in the Southern Region
Bogula loves to refine beauty puppets most, and they are all refined with **.
After Angel said the word "corpse transformation", he frowned again: "That's not right. If it is a corpse transformation, the corpse must at least remain roughly intact. It has been dead for a thousand years, so it shouldn't be a dead soul skeleton inside, right?
