Chapter 50 Chapter 21 Sea Toad

We stood there in amazement, all silent.The stone bridge was already crowded with swarms of toads, and when Xinhong shone a flashlight on them, the toads all yelled.I looked towards the fourth peak, and there was a large group of toads there. It seemed that the whole mountain was covered with toads.They shouted in unison, the sound was deafening, and the toads on the stone bridge were densely packed together, and they jumped up one after another. This scene was like a rotten corpse with many maggots wriggling.These toads are not ordinary toads, they look very strange, they are all very fat, the largest body length is about 40 centimeters, their bodies are brown or brown, with dark spots on the body surface, and they look very ugly. It's a toad we've never seen before.

"A lot of toads, shall we just step on them?" Xinhong asked worriedly looking at the crowd of toads. "How is it possible, this kind of toad is no ordinary toad!" Mr. Ye denied. "What kind of toads are they? Are they mutated? I haven't seen them before!" I said in surprise. "They are sea toads! Don't touch them casually!" Teacher Ye obviously knew how powerful this kind of toad was. Teacher Ye explained to us that the sea toad, also known as the cane toad, is the largest toad in the world.Sea toads are very poisonous.The venom is usually shed, but they can also spray small amounts of venom when they are annoyed.The venom can enter the victim's body through the eyes, mouth and nose, causing severe pain, temporary blindness and inflammation.These toads are so powerful that even ordinary toads from his own family will eat them.In the 1930s, Australia introduced sea toads from South America to control the beetle "cane turtle" that endangered sugarcane gardens in northern Australia. As a result, not only failed to achieve the intended goal, but the highly poisonous sea toads also caused serious damage to the fragile Australian ecological environment. Serious damage, poisoning countless snakes, small crocodiles and other protozoa.

"Then what should we do, now the bridge behind is also broken, and there is a large group of damned sea toads in front, this time we are really in a dilemma. Could it be that we are going to be trapped here to death?" I lamented.Then I heard wind chimes again, so I said to them, "Did you hear anything jingling?" "I heard it just now. I thought it was ringing in my ears, but I didn't expect you to hear it too!" Xinhong exclaimed. "Look at the last peak, there seems to be a big thing there besides the stone statue." Teacher Ye said, pointing to the front.

I looked at the opposite side carefully in the dim light, and there was a big black shadow behind the stone statue of Nuwa, and it was as high as the top of the cave, but it was too far away from us, so I couldn't distinguish it for a while. What is it, the only thing that is certain is that the wind chime-like sound came from that huge black shadow.I felt a little coolness behind me, so I turned my head vigilantly, and found someone standing on the second peak.That person was Xianquan who suddenly ran down the mountain just now. He looked at the collapsed stone bridge in surprise, then stared at us for a long time, and finally turned around and ran away in a hurry.Xinhong and the others also saw this scene, and everyone felt that Xianquan was difficult to figure out.

"That person must be Xianquan. He suddenly ran up and down just now, and now he ran up, why did he run back again?" Xinhong said in wonder. "The stone bridge is broken, so of course he has to go back the way he came. We can't tell him to fly over here right?" Teacher Ye said. "Didn't he say this is his home, then he must be very familiar with this place, there should be a way to the front." I guessed. "I hope so, otherwise how would we get out of this ghost place?" Xinhong sighed. The sea toads didn't know what was going on, they all flocked to the stone bridge, and more and more, I was really worried that the stone bridge would be overwhelmed by these sea toads.If we are really overwhelmed by them, we will have nowhere to go.Sea toads kept coming from the opposite side, but they stopped on the bridge after seeing the three of us, and the two sides faced each other like this.I am very worried about this behavior of the sea toads, they are not like this sooner or later, why did the sea toads suddenly rush out at this time, they seem to want to escape from this place desperately, but they don't know what is behind us Stone Bridge has been disconnected.

"Teacher, since the road ahead is gone, let's walk down the mountain." I suggested. "No way! It's about to come back to life, and we can't go down there anymore!" Teacher Ye immediately denied it when he heard my words. "Who wants to come back to life? I'm wondering why we have to walk across the stone bridge on the top of the mountain. What is there at the bottom of the mountain? What will happen if we go from the bottom? Could it be that there is something more ferocious than Ao Yin sprites at the bottom?" Something?" Xinhong asked suspiciously.

"There are no monsters at the bottom of the mountain, no..." Teacher Ye said in a daze, "Anyway, you can't go down the mountain!" Xinhong saw that Teacher Ye still had something to hide from us on purpose, so he wanted to continue asking, but I was worried that Teacher Ye would be mentally unstable, so I stopped Xinhong immediately.The air in the cave gradually became hot and stuffy, and I was already dripping with sweat. I wiped my forehead gently with my hands, and my hands were covered with sweat.At this time, I saw the golden rod in my hand, and realized that the reason why the sea toads stopped on the stone bridge might be because of the golden rod.So, I hid the golden rod in my arms, and then turned around to see the reaction of the sea toad.Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, the sea toad rushed towards us like crazy.I was so shocked by this scene that I even forgot to take out the golden staff in my arms for a moment.

Sea toads swarmed around us one after another. This scene is like a huge water flow from a reservoir that has just opened its gates.They hopped awkwardly to our side, and since sea toads can shed their own venom, enough to kill each other, we all tried to keep the sea toads from touching the skin, and we all did our best to drive them away.After the sea toads found that the stone bridge in front of them was broken, they all jumped up and down on the top of the mountain, which made us frightened.This situation lasted for a long time, and suddenly a very familiar voice came from the opposite side, and then the group of sea toads became quiet, and the sea toads on us also jumped to the ground one after another.I opened my eyes and looked at my feet, the ground was already full of sea toads, and they were all below my knees.I suddenly felt that my feet were weak, and my feet felt like they were paralyzed in the pile of sea toads.

"Come here quickly, hurry up, don't step on the sea toad!" The person opposite turned out to be Xianquan! "Didn't he be on the second peak just now? The stone bridge is broken, so he can't pass it. Why is he in front of us now, on the fourth peak?" I said in amazement, feeling extremely anxious. confused. "Jin Wei, where is that golden rod, why did you put it away?" Teacher Ye said, "Take it out!" Teacher Ye also seemed to be aware of the power of the golden rod, he knew that this golden rod could make all the monsters in the cave stay away.I hastily took out the golden staff from my pocket, and then raised it high.This trick really worked, the sea toads jumped to the side one after another, I slowly moved towards the stone bridge, Xinhong and Teacher Ye followed me cautiously.The sea toads on the stone bridge found the golden staff in my hand, and jumped to the side, and a few sea toads accidentally fell off the stone bridge.There was still a strange smell rushing up from under the stone bridge. My head was already dizzy, and I was full of repulsion to this smell.Under the stone bridge is still the same as before, there are always one or two lights or spots of light flashing suddenly.That light is very erratic, in short, it can't be a firefly flying around.

After we walked across the stone bridge, we finally saw Xianquan clearly.He is really the Xianquan we have seen, but Xianquan was like other animals, he was taken aback when he saw the golden rod, and took a few steps back in a panic.However, after he realized his gaffe, he immediately tried his best to pretend that he didn't care.I found that Xianquan's body was a little strange, not only a little wet, but also some places were burnt.This is an underwater cave. It is not surprising that there is water on his body, but in the blink of an eye, he was scalded in several places. Could it be that there are still fire-breathing monsters here?

"Where did you find this golden rod?" Xianquan asked nervously, staring at the golden rod in my hand. "I found it under the iron box. What happened to you just now? You suddenly ran away and appeared here?" I asked puzzled. "I... can you show me that golden rod first?" Xianquan asked eagerly. I felt very strange in my heart, it seems that Xianquan didn't know that this precious golden rod was pressed under the iron box, but it is impossible for him to grab the golden rod now, so I agreed to him.Xianquan took the golden rod in trepidation, his expression was so strange that I couldn't tell for a while.Xianquan didn't say a word, and stroked the golden stick repeatedly.I had the stone statue of Nuwa in my heart, so I hurried to the stone statue, wanting to see if the things held by the stone statue of Nuwa this time would be different from the previous ones. This time the stone statue is holding a flat silver box with peeling paint, which is a little smaller than the copper box on the third seat.Here from the first to the fourth, in addition to the different texture of the box, the volume of the box is also decreasing.We were all very confused, and for a long time we couldn't figure out what secret was implied in it.I bent down curiously, and there was nothing hidden under the silver flat and peeling paint box.It seems that the golden rod was placed under the iron box 100% suddenly, because the golden rod is a symbol of power, and there is no possibility that it will be discarded intentionally.I found the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui very strange at that time, but the resources were still low, and many materials were only seen by insiders, so I didn't express my views.The golden scepter has only flashed once in the history of China. The golden scepter unearthed in Sanxingdui was randomly thrown into the pit and then buried.This thing is very similar to the golden scepter in my hand.You must know that the golden scepter represented power and gods in ancient times, and the golden scepter was also passed down from generation to generation, just like the jade seal in the Central Plains.The golden rod was pressed under the iron box in this way. I dare not speculate about the Sanxingdui incident, but something unexpected must have happened in this well cave thousands of years ago, otherwise the golden rod would not have been thrown away so hastily. placed in that place. "Can you tell us how you got here, Xianquan?" Xinhong interrupted Xianquan in a low voice. "There is a passage underground, I came from there, but it is no longer usable." Xianquan said with a sigh. "Why?" The three of us asked in unison, "It's alive, it's alive again, so it can't be used there!" Xianquan said in a daze. I was startled, why both Xianquan and Teacher Ye said that "it" came back to life, what exactly came back to life?Is it really something ancient dinosaur resurrected?I was just about to continue asking Xianquan, but Teacher Ye urged: "Let's go there quickly, time is running out, didn't you see the sea toad and rush out of this place?" I have a dull pain on my forehead, which reminds me of the guy who knocked me out a few days ago, and then took me to Xishui Village, and the seven-color scales on my hands are gone, probably he took them away .I haven't settled with him yet.Annoyed, I grabbed Xianquan who was walking in front, wanting to vent my anger wantonly, but when I grabbed his clothes, I saw a terrible strangeness on his body. I stayed where I was and asked, "Xianquan, who are you?"
