Chapter 24 The Hundred-footed Dragon God
Chapter 24: The Centipede Dragon God
After Chenpi A Si's iron marble flew past, the flashing flames dimmed in an instant. The shadows of the people there returned to blur, and they couldn't see anything clearly. The iron marble finally didn't know what it hit, and made a crisp sound, rolling to the ground, the sound echoed in the empty spirit palace, making people feel goosebumps.
The moment the fire flashed, everyone was startled by the shadow, and Shunzi was even more frightened and shouted softly: "What is this!"
Monk Hua immediately covered his mouth and prevented him from continuing to speak. Several people subconsciously pressed their hands on their own knife.
Chen Pi A Si waved his hand to us, asking us not to be so nervous, and then gave Monk Hua a wink, who immediately jumped onto the lamp slave on one side and slapped the fire with one hand.
I have to admire Chen Pi A Si's calmness. In such a strange environment, no one would have thought of knocking out the light source around him. He hoped that the brighter he would be around him, but in fact, it is safest to be in the darkness.
As soon as the lamp slave was turned off, the surroundings suddenly darkened. The darkness like thick fog suddenly surrounded us, but the lamp slave on the other side seemed even brighter.
We also turned off our flashlight, held our breath together, and looked at the shadows over there. The darkness around us suddenly stimulated my nerves, and I suddenly felt my heart beating very hard.
This shadow is obviously a human being, and most of the body is still hidden in the darkness. What makes people feel very strange is his extremely long neck, and some things that are indescribable on his body that seem to be thorns or tentacles. They don’t look like humans. But a kind of bird.
I instinctively felt a chill, except for the Mud Oil Bottle. Everyone else was around. The shadow looked like it was definitely not Mud Oil Bottle. Is there anyone else here?
So who is he? How could he appear in the spiritual palace on the top of the snow-capped mountain? Did the avalanche here just now attract the attention of the border guards? This person is the People's Liberation Army who explored the way?
No, not to mention that the avalanche occurred in the valley, even if it was discovered, it would take at least one day to get through it and would not arrive so quickly.
I suddenly thought of this Spirit Palace. It was a trap set by Wang Zanghai. Since it was a trap, it must be extremely dangerous. The people in the trap would never imagine what was waiting for him in the trap. Could this shadow be the monsters arranged here when Wang Zanghai set up this trap?
We didn't dare to show our momentum, staring at the shadow, hoping to infer what we could from its movements and shapes. At least we could know whether this thing was a human or something else.
But strangely, the shadow also stood there straight, like a clay sculpture, not even shaking. It seemed that it was not a living thing at all.
After waiting for a while, neither side was moving. The fat man began to calm down and said softly: "What's wrong. If it's a living thing, he has to move. This thing doesn't move. Are we confused? Those are the shadows printed on the pillars by the lamp slaves?"
Ye Chengdao: "Nonsense, aren't Deng Nu all standing next to you? How could he come here by himself?"
The fat man whispered: "Didn't it mean that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the pipa can become spirits? Maybe the stone lamp slaves here will become spirits and can walk around by themselves."
I said to him that I felt uncomfortable all over and didn’t have the extra wisdom to judge what the fat man said. A few months ago, I didn’t even believe in rice dumplings. Now I have seen rice dumplings that I can rub on two tables of mahjong. I really don’t dare to judge whether there are monsters. But the fat man said that it was a stone lamp slave. I feel that it’s more of a joke. The more unreliable the fat man speaks in danger, the more it is, the more related to his personality.
But the fat man said nothing wrong. As long as it is a living object, he must move. Even if it is a rice dumpling, he cannot stand there like a stone. The shadow does not move. It is too strange.
No matter what it is, we can't stay here forever, although I can't see it. But I know that there are strings of walls and strings of walls around here. If someone is bitten again, it is not fatal, but there is no clothing or medicine on the snow-capped mountains. It is also a fatal thing.
We whispered softly, and the few people's thoughts were basically the same as mine. The fat man said in a very low voice: "Then let's not appreciate its figure here, sneak over and take a look. If he is really a human being, he will beat him down!"
Several people agreed, and I felt a flash of wind beside me. I was anxious and touched it. It was pitch black and I couldn't set up any formation. I gritted my teeth and headed towards the only fire.
The lamp slave was not far from us. After walking a few steps, the shadow became clearer and clearer. I looked more and more strange. Unconsciously, an ominous feeling became stronger and stronger. As I almost approached the area where the light could reach, I subconsciously slowed down, lying in the darkness, and slowly leaned over gently.
The black shadow was almost ten steps away from me. I squinted my eyes and looked at him. Little by little, my heartbeats faster and faster, and cold sweat began to appear constantly, praying that God would not let me see what I didn't want to see.
However, as I got closer and closer, I gradually realized that God might not bless us tomb robbers and grave diggers. The thing in front of me became clearer and clearer. I couldn't even move my steps at once, and I felt weak all over. In the end, I was frozen and unable to move.
I can't describe what I saw in words. It can only be said to be a huge "snake" shape, but I don't know whether it is because it is too big. I know that the largest sinensis can grow more than one meter, but this one is obviously larger. The sinensis raises half of its body like a snake and wraps around a lamp slave. When we see the neck, it is actually just the shadow formed by its two large poisonous jaws and long tentacles. Countless long feet are hanging, and the whole giant insect does not move, as if it is sucking gas evaporated from the lamp oil.
In the Centipede Family, the Caribbean Galapagus centipede can grow to 40~60cm, but it has not been found until now that it has grown to more than one meter. With such a huge body, the lifespan of this insect is probably thousands of years.
Several people moaned around me, and I even heard the fat man say very lightly: "Your uncle!" It was obvious that the other people who touched him also saw it, and they initially didn't believe their eyes. I thought of the giant black tomb passage sealing stone carved with centipede dragons that we saw halfway through, and suddenly understood why the dragons in Dongxia people grew centipede feet!
It seems that after they retreated into the mountains, they saw such a huge snail, and deified it into the incarnation of a dragon.
My mind was in a mess, and I heard someone whistling a few times. It meant: "Get back!" I didn't know who said this at that time, so I stepped back unconsciously. I kept retreating, and I didn't know where I retreated. I looked around and it was pitch black.
It turned out that after Monk Hua wiped out the lamp slaves on our side, we had no goal to retreat, and as soon as we retreated, we were all separated.
I turned on the flashlight again. Thinking of lighting a lamp slave to attract their attention, I saw the shadow of the giant snail not far away shaking. The lamp slave next to it suddenly went out, and the giant snail disappeared into the darkness.
I suddenly remembered that the winding wind had a habit of becoming hot. I suddenly felt something was wrong. At the same time, Monk Hua started a cold fireworks far away and shouted: "Don't light the lamp slaves. Everyone looked at my cold fireworks and gathered here."
In the dark, I heard many sounds of one foot crawling on the floor, and the frequency was extremely fast. I didn't know where it was crawling when I heard it. Anyway, the sound was getting more and more, so I quickly ran away.
In the chaos, I heard the fat man shouting in the other direction: "Why not click? Click this thing and drag the big bug for a while. If you don't click it, you will head straight for us? We can't run away from it with so many legs."
Monk Hua said, "No! I smelled the lamp oil, and there was also insect fragrance jade in the oil. Once the smell was emitted, more of this kind of thing would crawl out. It would be more troublesome at that time." He paused, obviously not knowing what to call this huge fleece.
When I heard that there might be more than this one, I felt a sudden sense of sensation. While running towards Monk Hua’s cold fireworks, I also shouted: “What should we do with this one?”
Monk Hua said: "I have my own way to get here. Be careful behind me. This kind of bug crawls very fast!"
Soon I rushed to Monk Hua's side accordingly, and a lot of spots of electricity were suddenly seen around me. Several people rushed out of the darkness. We ran so hard that we couldn't even speak. The fat man covered his chest and looked at the darkness around him. He asked Monk Hua: "Okay, I'm here, what's the solution? Tell me quickly! That thing is coming soon."
As he said that, he went to listen to the crawling sound that made people feel cramped, but when he heard it, the sound disappeared. It seemed that the big bug did not follow him, but stopped.
Monk Hua was also very panting, and while coughing, he patted the backpack, saying, "Actually, it's not a special method. We still have explosives to kill it."
The fat man laughed and said, "Okay, this glorious task will be handed over to you. Go, I will help you take care of the old man."
Monk Hua said, "No need to go, I have already settled it, so naturally someone will go."
I suddenly felt a chill on his face, and at the same time I realized something. When I turned around, my face changed and my face changed: "Where is Lang Feng?"
Monk Hua didn't say anything, but just looked at the dark side and said, "Be ready. It's coming."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom", and a dazzling flame suddenly flashed in the darkness on one side. We all fell to the ground in a conditioned manner. A large amount of wood debris fell on our heads like rain. The whole floor shook wildly, and the wooden boards were bounced up and almost hit my nose. The shock wave was not big, but the sound was very loud. The eardrums of my eardrums were shaking, and I couldn't hear anything clearly for a while.
I looked up and saw that a big pit had been blown up on the floor, and the edges had burned. The huge "Thousand-legged Fly Dragon" had its entire head shattered and was still twisting. The explosion was actually the place where we just installed Langfeng.
I immediately understood what Monk Hua did. No wonder the "Thousand-legged Fly Dragon" just now did not chase us. It led to Lang Feng who was unconscious on the other side, and Monk Hua pressed the explosives on his body again-
I couldn't believe my eyes, so I turned to look at Monk Hua and Chen Pi A Si. None of them had any expressions, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Chen Pi A Si saw my expression, patted me and said to me softly: "Walking in front, walking in the back, walking in the back, walking in the back, didn't your grandfather teach you? If it were me, they would also treat me like this and do this. You must have such an awareness."
Walking first, walking back and walking back is the Tushima word, which means to do things. Before doing things, consider three steps before doing them, and four steps after doing them. The Tushima is underground, and every thing that moves is life-saving, so before doing anything, you must consider what will happen in the next three steps and the way to deal with it. If you find that you have no problem solving, you cannot do this. And such considerations must be developed.
I also understand the purpose of Chen Pi A Si saying this. In fact, in situations like Lang Feng, his chances of living with us are already very slim. His meaning is that sooner or later, it is better to let him die more happily.
My grandfather also mentioned it in his notes today. When you are underground, it is too late to realize the danger, so you should consider it before it occurs. Tomb robbing is a meticulous job and requires courage. In ancient times, I don’t know how many times I have to go to the ancient tomb when my mind is hot, and it becomes a burial.
But even though I said that, Lang Feng died like this, which was really unfair. It made me feel scared even when I stood next to Chenpi A’s four places.
Unfortunately, I couldn't express my mood at this time. I had to take a deep breath and try to pretend that nothing happened.
The fire in front gradually faded out, and the wooden boards here have been frozen for many years. The gaps are filled with ice particles gathered from moisture in the air. The more they burn, the more they burn, the less they can't burn.
We walked towards the pit on the floor with a blown-out hole. My steps were very heavy, and I was afraid that I would suddenly see some Lang Feng's limbs. The fat man and Pan Zi did not react much. They seemed to be very used to this kind of thing, or rather, they might think it would be useless to show depression. The fat man saw that I was a little unable to let go, so he patted me and said softly: "Forget it, anyway, they are their people, maybe they still have their lives on their hands, and they have to pay it back if they come out."
Shunzi didn't understand what was going on, and he was almost scared and followed us a little stupidly.
When I walked to the hole where the floor was blown out, I shone the flashlight below. The floor tiles under the wooden floor were blown out of a large pit. The reinforced corridor with black stone strips also exploded, revealing a gap, and the bottom was empty.
I know what is below, because this part of the Spirit Palace is built on a steep slope, but the floor is flat, and a triangular space will definitely be formed below with beams and pillars. All buildings built on steep slopes or cliffs, such as the Potala Palace, are such a structure.
There was a cold wind blowing out in the gap, which was obviously connected to the outside world. I recalled that the triangular space below was surrounded by white slurry walls. I don’t know what the situation was, but when the wind blows out, it seems that you can get out from here.
There is obviously something wrong with the surroundings. The ground is covered with windings. If you insist on going out through the main entrance, you will probably become more and more dangerous the more you go. At this time, a hole was blown up, which just happened to allow us to get out.
The fat man jumped into the hole that exploded out of the pit. The hole below could not accommodate a person passing through, so he had to dig a big one. Monk Hua also jumped in to help. The fat man asked me, is it necessary to dig like this?
I told them not to do anything randomly. In winter, the stone corridor is already frozen and brittle. The explosion just now must have completely destroyed the pressure-bearing structure below. I don’t know how high it is. If it suddenly collapses, it is not a person or two, it is very likely that the entire ground near here will sink, and the Ling Palace will become our closure.
So we tied a rope around the waist of Fatty and Monk Hua, and tied the other end to a huge pillar on one side. We all buckled the buttons on the rope so that once a collapse occurs, we can reflect each other.
After getting ready, the fat man started to smash the stone slab under him with a hammer. Unexpectedly, he smashed it and suddenly a sound came from under his feet. A beam as thick as a bowl was broken by him. His feet suddenly fell and stopped at the base of his thighs.
I was scared and thought it would collapse. Fortunately, my feet just fell down. The fat man cursed and wanted to pull his feet out.
After pulling for a long time, his feet were pulled to his knees but he couldn't pull them out. The fat man himself was a little surprised. Suddenly his face changed and he shouted, "No, something is pulling my feet!" As he said that, he slid down.
Monk Hua hurriedly pulled his hands and pulled them up hard. The others rushed over to help and pulled his feet out, but they couldn't pull him to the brick pit. It seemed that something was really grabbing him.
Chapter completed!
