[Quick time travel] The big villain is always pestering the male second

Hui Kou looked at Zhang Jing, a little surprised, "Are you sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but it should be." Zhang Jing pondered for a moment and pointed to the high platform in the center. "Most of these places are used to place sacrifices, and they are living sacrifices."

"Let's go and have a look. We have no choice but to investigate." Yun Xi walked there, and the two of them immediately followed.

……

"Oh? Has anyone completed the strategy yet?" Hui lowered his head and looked at the portal that suddenly appeared. Nan Hua and Li Mujin walked out.

"It seems we were the first to finish." Nan Hua looked up at the virtual screen, looking for Xiao Panchen and Yun Xi.

Qing looked over and then curled his lips, "It's just good luck that the dungeon is not difficult for them."

"That's right, he's lucky." Hui continued to look at the screen and stared at one of them, "On the contrary, that kid has bad luck. If you have someone you care about...that means you have a weakness."

……

After boarding the altar, Yun Xi saw the platform above and couldn't help but frown, "It's more like a human sacrifice than a living sacrifice. The depression on the platform looks like a human being, and it's a child."

"But I didn't see the beast that Hui Kou mentioned." Yun Xi looked around, "Has it already left?"

"There seem to be strange traces there." Zhang Jing pointed to the southeast.

The three of them went over to check and found that the traces were still fresh.There were animal footprints and signs of dragging.

Yun Xi tapped his fingers on the ground, then shook his head, "There is no such thing as a secret passage. Tsk! Could it be..."

"Let's go, get out of here first." He suddenly raised his head and said to the two of them, got up and ran.

Hui Kou and Zhang Jing immediately ran into the forest. When Yun Xi stopped, they were still confused. What happened?

"Yunxi, what's the problem?"

"Yes. There is an altar there, and it must be a sacrifice to some kind of creature. Moreover, the beast that Hui Kou mentioned disappeared for no reason... It is possible that the creature is still alive and ate those beasts." Yun Xi pressed his temple.

This is troublesome. If there are really creatures more powerful than those beasts, it will definitely be very dangerous.And after living for so many years, how old are you?

This forest is almost isolated from the rest of the world. The last bear was already very big, so this one might be even bigger.

"But there are no blood stains or bones on the ground. It must have been eaten, right? After all, the altar looks like it was a long time ago. What kind of creature can live for so long?" Hui Kou was a little confused and found it incredible.

Zhang Jing looked at Hui Kou, "There are no bones, so it might have been swallowed in one bite. What Yun Xi said is most likely..."

"Snake." Yun Xi added, "If it were a snake, there would be no bones left. And I'm afraid the traces were not dragging, but traces of snakes crawling. In ancient times, many ethnic groups regarded snakes as A symbol of life. In Chinese mythology, aren’t the images of Nuwa and Fuxi the snake’s tail?”

"So the snake worshiped here may be... No, if it is really still alive, it should be a giant python." Yun Xi looked back at the altar, which was also very high.It seems that maybe that thing was very big a long time ago.

etc!Snakes are sensitive to high temperatures and will be frightened by fire or smoke.Could it be that the "fire" mentioned in the prompt depends on this giant python to find it?

"We are really in trouble this time." Yun Xi looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice.

Hui Kou and Zhang Jing: "?"

……

As night approached, there was a loud noise in the distance.Yun Xi and others hid and watched, and found a group of animals running towards the altar, almost ten of them.

"This is what I saw yesterday." Hui Kou said in a low voice.

Yun Xi nodded, "Then let's wait until night to see the situation."

At night, Yun Xi stood in the forest and saw the ground behind the altar began to shake, and a building ruins rose up.For some reason, the entire ruins glowed red, illuminating the surrounding area very brightly.

At this time, a giant python crawled over from the depths of the forest. It was so big that Yun Xi didn't even know how to describe it. It was about ten meters long.

"This is comparable to Titanoboa." Yun Xi muttered.

Then he discovered something very strange. The giant python seemed to be trying to stay away from the newly rising ruins.But he had to guard there, otherwise he wouldn't come at night.

The giant python crawled in front of the beasts and opened its mouth to bite each one.Then he curled up and blocked the way into the ruins.

"I think we need to go into the ruins and take a look."

Hearing what Yun Xi said, Hui Kou raised his forehead and said, "It's too dangerous."

Yun Xi smiled bitterly, "There is no way, I think the 'fire' we are looking for is probably there."

"What if there isn't? Yun Xi, are you just guessing?" Zhang Jing looked at the snake.

"It's really not certain, but it's a reasonable inference. Snakes are afraid of high temperatures and fire, so there must be a reason for him to stay away from that building. Plus, he seems to be guarding there. He's afraid but has to guard. There's a mission there. The possibility of props is very high." Yun Xi said slowly and shrugged helplessly, "We have no choice but to take risks at the moment."

"But how to get close? The ruins rise at night, and the giant python comes at the same time. It's impossible to get in with such a huge creature guarding it." Zhang Jing thought.

Yun Xi rubbed his brows and finally sighed, "I'll try to sneak in alone. If the 'fire' is really there and can be moved, then I will take it out."

"No, it's too dangerous. I'll go." Hui Kou stood up and promised to protect Yun Xi, so how could he let him go in alone.

Yun Xi waved his hand to Hui Kou to sit down and stop being so excited.

"It's not that you're safe there if you're strong, so I think I'm the most suitable candidate. And I won't die easily, believe me."

But even though they believed it, the two still hesitated to agree.

They discussed it until dawn, and the python returned to the forest, seemingly not wanting to stay for a second longer.At the same time, the ruins were lowered again and returned to the earth.

"It seems that you only have six hours to enter the ruins. Otherwise, you will be buried in the soil. I don't think the air inside is enough to last until the next rise." Yun Xi said, looking back at the two people, " I’m faster, so I’ll go in.”

"Yun Xi!"

"Stop talking and take action tonight." Yun Xi interrupted Hui Kou and sat aside with his eyes closed to rest. He had to conserve his energy for the night.

At night, before the big snake came over, Yun Xi was already standing under the stairs of the altar.It was the closest to the ruins, but also very close to the giant python.

If it weren't for the fear that when the ruins would rise, the surrounding ground would shake and make him unsteady, Yun Xi would have wanted to stand in front of the ruins and wait for the opponent to rise.
