Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Centipede Dragon God

After Chen Pi Asi's iron bullet flew past, the flickering flames dimmed instantly, and the shadows of the people over there became blurred again, and they couldn't see anything clearly again.In the end, the iron bullet hit an unknown place, and it rolled to the ground with a crisp sound. The sound echoed in the empty spiritual palace, making one's skin crawl. The moment the fire flashed, everyone was taken aback by the shadow, and Shunzi was even more frightened, calling softly in fright: "What is this!" Monk Hua immediately covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing to speak, and several people subconsciously pressed their hands on their own knives.

Chen Pi Asi waved to us, telling us not to be so nervous, and then gave Monk Hua a wink, who immediately jumped onto the lamp slave on one side and extinguished the fire with one hand. I have to admire Chen Pi Asi's calmness. In such a weird environment, no one would think of shooting out the light source around him. He just hopes that the brighter the side around him, the better. The safest place is in the dark. As soon as the lamp slaves were extinguished, the surroundings suddenly darkened again. The darkness like thick fog surrounded us all of a sudden, but the lamp slaves on the other side appeared brighter.

We "slapped" our own flashlights, and held our breath together, looking at the shadow over there.The darkness around me suddenly stimulated my nerves, and I suddenly felt my heart beating very hard. This shadow is obviously a person, most of the body is still hidden in the darkness, which makes people feel very strange, it is his strangely long neck, and some indescribable things on his body that seem to be thorns or tentacles, It didn't look like a human being.It's a kind of... a bird. I instinctively felt a chill, and my heart beat, except for Poker Bottle, everyone else was around.Looking at this shadow, it must not be a dull oil bottle. Could it be that there are other people here?

Who is he then?How did it appear in the spiritual palace on the top of the snow mountain?Could it be that the avalanche here just now attracted 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 happened in the valley, even if it is really discovered, it will take at least a day to rush over, and it will not arrive so soon. It suddenly occurred to me that this spiritual palace was a trap set by Wang Zanghai. Since it is a trap, it must be extremely dangerous.The person caught in the trap never imagined what was waiting for him in the trap. Could this shadow be the monster Wang Zanghai arranged here when he set up the trap?

We didn't dare to breathe, and stared at the shadow, hoping to deduce something from its movements and shapes.At least let us know whether this thing is a person or something else. But the strange thing is that the shadow also stood there straight, like a clay sculpture, not even shaking.Doesn't seem to be alive at all. After waiting for a while, there was no movement between the two sides. The fat man began to lose his composure, and said softly: "There is something wrong. He has to move if it is a living thing. This thing is motionless. Is it because we are delusional? It is the seal of those lamp slaves." Shadows on pillars?"

Ye Chengdao: "Nonsense, aren't the lamp slaves standing around? How could he come here by himself?" The fat man said softly: "Didn't it mean that the aura of heaven and earth, and the pipa can become fine? Maybe the stone lamp slave here will become fine, and he can walk around by himself." What I told him was uncomfortable, and I 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 the rice dumplings I have seen can hold two tables of mahjong. If there are monsters, I really dare not judge.But the fat man said that this stone lamp slave became a spirit. I think it is more of a joke. The more dangerous the fat man is, the more unreliable his words are. This is also very related to his personality.

But Fatty is right in saying one thing, as long as it is a living object, he must move. Even if it is a zongzi, he can't stand there like a stone. It's too strange that the shadow doesn't move. No matter what it is, we can't stay in a stalemate here forever. Although I can't see it, I know that there are "wall strings" all around here. If someone is bitten again, although it is not fatal, there is a lack of clothing and medicine on the snow mountain , is also a fatal thing. We summed it up softly, and several of them basically had the same idea as me. The fat man said in a very low voice: "Then let's stop admiring its figure here, and sneak over to have a look. If it's really a person, it's fucking dead." beat!"

A few people agreed, and I felt a flash of wind around me, and I already touched it impatiently. It was pitch black and there was no way to form a formation, so I bit the bullet and went towards the only fire. The lamp slave was not very far away from us, and after walking a few steps, the shadow became clearer and clearer, and I looked at it more and more strangely. Unconsciously, an ominous feeling became stronger and stronger. When the light could reach the area, I subconsciously slowed down, ambush in the darkness, and slowly and gently approached. The black shadow was almost ten steps away from me. I squinted my eyes and looked at him. Little by little, my heart beat faster and faster, and cold sweat began to break out, while praying to God Don't make me see what I don't want to see.

However, as I got closer and closer to the field of vision, I gradually realized that God might not bless grave robbers like us. The thing in front of me became clearer and clearer, and I couldn't even move my feet all of a sudden. I just felt weak all over, and finally the whole person froze there and couldn't move. I can't even use words to describe what I saw, it can only be said to be a huge "snag" shaped thing, but I don't know if it is, because it is too big, I know that the biggest snag can grow to It's more than one meter long, but this one is obviously bigger. The scorpion raises half of its body like a snake and wraps around a lamp slave.The neck we see is actually just the shadow formed by its two large poisonous jaws and long tentacles.Countless long legs hung down, and the entire giant worm was motionless, as if it was sucking the gas volatilized from the lamp oil.

In the centipede family, the Galapagos centipede in the Caribbean can grow to 40-60 cm long, but no one that has grown to more than one meter has been found so far. With such a huge body shape, the lifespan of this insect may be thousands of years. There were groans from several people around, and I even heard the fat man say very softly: "Your uncle!" Apparently, several other people who touched it also saw it, and began to not believe their eyes. On the way, we saw the huge black tomb stone engraved with a centipede dragon, and suddenly understood why the dragons of the Dongxia people had centipede's thousands of feet!

It seems that after they retreated into the deep mountains, they saw such a huge snake and deified it as the incarnation of a dragon. While my mind was in chaos, I heard someone whistle a few times, which meant: "Back back!" I didn't know who said this at the time, so I backed away unconsciously.I kept retreating and retreating, and I didn't know where I retreated. When I looked around, it was pitch black. It turned out that after Monk Hua put out the lamp slaves on our side, we had no target to retreat, and we all got separated when we retreated. I turned on the flashlight again, thinking of lighting up a lamp slave to attract their attention, but I saw the shadow of the giant gnat not far away shaking for a while, and the lamp slave next to it went out all of a sudden. The giant gnat disappeared into the darkness. I suddenly remembered what Shunzi said about gnats having a habit of tending to heat, and I felt bad at the same time, at the same time, far away, Monk Hua lit a cold firework and shouted: "Everyone, please don't light the lamp slaves, everyone can see. Gather at my place with my cold fireworks." In the dark, I heard the sound of many feet crawling on the floor. The frequency was so fast that I didn't know where it was crawling.Anyway, the sound was getting louder and louder, so I ran away quickly. In the confusion, I heard the fat man yelling from another direction: "Why don't you click it? Click this thing to temporarily drag the big bug. If you don't click it, it will come straight to us? It has so many legs that we can't run it. " Monk Hua said: "No way! I smelled the lamp oil, and there is also insect fragrance jade in the oil. Once the smell is released, more of this - this kind of thing will crawl out, and it will be more troublesome then." He paused After a while, I obviously don't know what to call this huge squidfly. As soon as I heard that there might be more than this one, my heart immediately became frightened. While running towards Monk Hua’s cold fireworks, I also shouted: "Then what should we do with this one?" Monk Hua said: "When I get there, I have my own way. Be careful behind me. This kind of insect crawls very fast!" Soon I rushed to Monk Hua's side according to the cold smoke and fire, and suddenly there were many flashlight spots around, and several people rushed out from the darkness. We were out of breath and couldn't even speak. .The fat man held his chest and looked at the surrounding darkness, and asked Monk Hua: "Okay, we're here, what can we do, tell me quickly! That thing is coming soon." As he spoke, he went to listen to the cramped crawling sound on the side, but after hearing it, the sound disappeared, as if the big bug didn't follow, but stopped. Monk Hua was also panting very badly. He patted his backpack while coughing.Said: "Actually, there is no special method. We still have explosives to kill it." The fat man couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay then, I'll leave this glorious task to you. Go, I'll take care of the old man for you." Monk Hua said: "I don't need to go, I have already settled it, so someone will go." I suddenly felt a chill from his face, and at the same time realized something, turned my head and looked, my expression changed: "Where is Lang Feng?" Monk Hua didn't speak, but looked at the darkness to one side, and said, "Get ready. It's coming." Before the words were finished, there was a loud "boom", and a dazzling fire flashed in the darkness on one side. We all fell to the ground reflexively, and a large amount of wood debris fell on our heads like rain. The whole floor vibrated violently, and the bouncing board almost hit my nose. The shock wave was not big, but the sound was very loud.My eardrums were buzzing, and I couldn't hear anything clearly for a while. I raised my head to look at the direction of the explosion, and saw that the floor had been blasted into a big hole, and the edge had been burned. The head of the huge "Thousand-legged Clamfly Dragon" was blown to pieces, and it was still writhing. , and the place where the explosion happened turned out to be the place where we placed Lang Feng just now. I immediately understood what Monk Hua had done.No wonder the "Thousand-legged Clamfly Dragon" didn't catch up to us just now, it was attracted by the comatose Lang Feng, and Monk Hua put explosives on him again—— I couldn't believe my eyes, I turned my head to look at Monk Hua and Chen Pi Asi, they were all expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all. Seeing my expression, Chen Pi Ahsi patted me, and said softly to me: "Walk three times and walk four times, didn't your grandpa teach you? If it were me, they would do the same to me. You have to have that awareness.” Walking forward three times and walking back four times is the native language of Tufuzi.It means to do things, think about three steps before doing it, and think about four steps after doing it.Tufuzi is underground, every move is life-threatening, so before you do anything, you must consider what will happen in the last three steps and how to deal with it. If you find that you can't solve it, you Things just can't be done.And such considerations must become a habit. I also understand the purpose of Chen Pi Asi's words. In fact, in a situation like Lang Feng's, the chance of him following us out alive is already very slim.What he meant was that sooner or later he would die, it would be better to let him die quickly. My grandfather once mentioned it in his notes too.When underground, sometimes you don't realize the danger until it's too late, so think about it before it arises.Tomb robbery is a meticulous job, and it requires courage. I don’t know how many half-toned people went to the ancient tomb as soon as their brains got hot, and they were directly buried with them. But having said that, Lang Feng died like this, it was really wronged, it made me feel scared even standing next to Chen Pi Asi. It's a pity that I couldn't express my feelings at this time, so I had to take a deep breath and try my best to pretend that nothing happened. The fire in front gradually extinguished. The wooden boards here have been frozen for many years, and the gaps are full of ice particles condensed by moisture in the air. The more they burn, the more they burn, and the more they burn, the less they can burn. The few of us walked towards the hole that was blown out on the floor. My steps were very heavy, and I was afraid that I would suddenly see Lang Feng's limbs.Fatty and Pan Zi didn't have any big reactions, and they seemed to be used to this kind of thing, or they might think it's useless to express their depression.The fat man saw that I couldn't let it go, he patted me, and said softly: "Forget it, anyway, it's theirs, maybe they still have a life debt on their hands, and they have to pay it back after they come out to mess around." Sunja still didn't understand what was going on, and followed us almost dumbfounded with fright. Walking to the hole where the floor was blown out, I took a flashlight and looked down. The bricks under the wooden floor were blasted into a big hole, and the underground corridor reinforced with black stone strips was also blown apart. A gap was revealed, and the bottom was empty. I know where it is below, because this part of the spiritual palace is built on a steep slope, but the floor is flat, and there will definitely be a triangular space supported by beams and columns below, all the buildings built on steep slopes or cliffs Architecture, such as the Potala Palace, is such a structure. There was a cold wind blowing from the gap, which was obviously connected to the outside world. I recalled that the triangular space below was also surrounded by white mortar walls. There are obviously some problems around here. The ground is full of gnats. If we insist on going out through the main entrance, it will become more and more dangerous. At this time, a pothole was blown up, just for us to escape. The fat man jumped into the hole that was blown out. The hole below was not enough for a person to pass through. It had to be dug big. Monk Hua also jumped in to help.The fat man asked me, does it matter if I dig like this? I told them not to mess around. The stone corridor in winter is already brittle from the cold. The explosion just now must have completely destroyed the pressure-bearing structure below. I don’t know how high it is below. With one person and two people, it is very likely that the entire ground near here will be sunken, and then the Linggong Palace will become our seal. So a rope was tied around the waist of Fatty and Monk Hua, and the other end was tied to a huge pillar on one side. We all buckled the buttons to the rope so that we can take care of each other in case of a collapse. After getting ready, the fat man began to hit the stone slab below with a hammer, and he did not expect to hit it once. Suddenly, a "click" came from under his feet, and he broke one of the thick beams below him. His foot sank down to the base of his thigh. I was taken aback and thought it would collapse, but luckily only my foot sank, the fat man cursed very nasty words, trying to pull the foot out. After pulling for a long time, the foot was pulled to the knee but couldn't be pulled out. The fat man himself was a little strange, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted: "No, something is pulling my foot!" slide down. Monk Hua hurriedly went down and grabbed his two hands and pulled them up. Others rushed over to help and pulled out his feet, but they couldn't pull him to the top of the brick pit. It seemed that there was something underneath. Really got him. Ye Cheng picked up the flashlight and looked down at it, and everyone took a deep breath.From the hole in the stone corridor that the fat man stepped on, a blue-purple dry hand stretched out and grabbed the fat man's ankle firmly.
