[Bottle Evil] Snowy Illusion
Chapter 17 Golden Scale Black Python (1)
Li Cu was a little dizzy, and then felt a few cold fingers sticking to the skin of his head, and stroking his head once.
"Your head was injured before." Zhang Qiling said.
Li Cu hurriedly replied: "Well, I lost a piece of skull." He pointed to the injured part, "Here, but now it's healed."
Zhang Qiling frowned slightly, and said: "Don't move, let me see." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed on his head.
Li Cu was startled immediately, his back was tense, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and his head began to feel dizzy.
Zhang Qiling looked at it for a while, and said: "There is no wound, but your previous injury was very serious. Just now I fell down and I didn't have time to hold you, and you hit your head again. Although you can't see it, there may be other reactions."
It's okay if Zhang Qiling doesn't say anything, but when he said that, Li Cu immediately felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, and he clenched his fists and pressed on his chest.Zhang Qiling opened his hand and began to examine him like a professional doctor.
Li Cuomu was there, holding his arms stiffly, and there was a little man in his head who looked like Su Wan, jumping and shouting: "Is it a pleasure for the idol to help you check!"
Li Cu imitated kicking that villain away in his heart, but the lingering sound lingered, and his face felt a little hot unconsciously.
These days, Li Cu has been observing Zhang Qiling secretly, and found that this person is really as recorded in Wu Xie's notes.Usually, the sense of presence is not strong, because there are few words and no superfluous actions.But once there is an unexpected situation, it will immediately become the focus of the whole team, and everyone will act according to his face.
Although usually there is no obvious expression on this person's face, and his eyes are indifferent, but if you look at him, you will have the feeling of being seen through by him within a second, which will make people very uncomfortable.
Before falling here, the only situation where Zhang Qiling could see more expressions and movements was when Wu Xie and Fatty talked to him.Zhang Qiling seemed to only care about these two people, at least it was different from others.
Li Cu couldn't understand the relationship between them. He always felt that there was something more serious between them than just friends.
Let's talk about Zhang Qiling again, although the temperament on the surface is very similar to what Wu Xie recorded, but when he really gets along, he has more experiences that are hard to describe.
This is also related to Li Cu's own growth experience.A teenager, at an age when he should be presumptuous, suddenly faced a change in his entire life.He doesn't have time to digest, and he doesn't have the ability to control, even though he can still play stubborn, but in this vortex, he is a weak person after all.To a certain extent, this is also the reason why he chose Wu Xie. He knew Wu Xie, but he didn't fully understand it, but he saw that Wu Xie was essentially the same person as him.So he likes to see Wu Xie's transformation, even his madness. Wu Xie like this makes him see infinite possibilities.Nothing is more precious to someone like him who craves change than possibility.
However, Zhang Qiling is different. In Li Cu's view, Zhang Qiling is born strong.His experience has been almost deified in Li Cu's impression.Unlike Wu Xie and Fatty, he once experienced Zhang Qiling together, so in all his knowledge, the symbolic meaning of the word Zhang Qiling is far greater than the influence of reality.
People always have something to look up to in order to persevere in adversity.Li Cu doesn't have any idolatry complex, he thinks that maybe he just unknowingly regards Zhang Qiling as such a kind of admiration.
But damn it, Li Cu was secretly distressed: Is it appropriate to blush!
Zhang Qiling withdrew his hand to look at him, and said, "It's not broken." After a pause, there was some doubt in his eyes, as if he also noticed that Li Cuo's face was abnormal.
Li Cu quickly looked away, wanted to explain but felt that he couldn't explain at all, and felt distressed in his chest.He wanted to say thank you, he wanted to ask Zhang Qiling some questions, and he wanted to express his feelings as a small fan, but he retched when he opened his mouth.
"No, I'm sorry, I'm a little sick, maybe I just fell and got a concussion." Li Cu said embarrassingly.
Zhang Qiling hummed, and said, "Take a break." He handed him the water bottle, stood up, and walked towards the wall behind the two of them. ?
Li Cu took a sip of water and suddenly thought of Wu Xie.
That mean-mouthed and nervous man will definitely not give him water at this time, but will take the opportunity to dislike him.However, when his emotions are close to collapse or in distress, he will use some unimaginable ways to clearly prove to him that he is very important, until Li Cu wipes off the dust on his face and gets up again.Li Cuo smiled as he thought about it, so lightly that he didn't even feel it.
Li Cu sat for a while, the dizziness in his head finally eased, and his chest was no longer dull. He looked towards the light, while Zhang Qiling was still focusing on the wall behind him.
Li Cu stood up and walked towards the wall, but the scene under the light circle of the flashlight scared him half to death immediately.
Li Cu saw that the lifelike and entrenched snake on the entire wall was a big snake like the big white snake he met in the underground of Gutongjing.But this one is black, and the scales are dotted with golden light, and those snake eyes, with torch-like gaze, are "staring" at him firmly.
Li Cu's dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms caused by a slight concussion subsided instantly, not because he was cured by the picture in front of him, but because the impact of the picture had made fear replace all other perceptions.
This is a large-scale, well-preserved mural.At first Li Cu also glanced towards the wall, but then he was dizzy and only saw a mass of darkness, thinking it was just a black wall.Now that I looked carefully, I realized that it was not a completely black wall, but a black snake occupying the entire wall.
The development of murals can be traced back to the Stone Age, and it has always been a projection of the development of human civilization.Li Cuo had accidentally seen an introduction to the rock paintings of Yinshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia. The ancestors created many pictures over a period of 1 years. gallery.
Li Cu was still very disdainful at that time, thinking to himself that people at that time were really boring, spending so much effort on drawing these meaningless things.And now he saw the paintings left by some more "boring" people, but these had meaning, at least he was taken aback.
Li Cu didn't understand that these paintings were by no means purely artistic creations.People in ancient times, with awe of heaven, earth and nature, did everything for survival.Primitive religion became the belief of people at that time, and some deified animals also became totems they worshiped.It is under the guidance of religion and totem that people have worked tirelessly to create such a symbolic picture.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the black snake is drawn so finely and so broadly that it is absolutely extraordinary.It is hard to imagine how many craftsmen would have worked day and night on the wall to complete this huge project when drawing this picture.The vastness of the project also symbolizes the great significance.
Snakes, snakes again, ever since Li Cu came out of the desert, he has had a deep fear of snakes.This cold-blooded creature that always seems to live in the shadows, acts like a ghost, and it is really intimidating.
The snake on the screen opened its bloody mouth wide, its sharp fangs expressed with exaggerated lines, and each of its red eyes seemed to be as big as ten balls he usually kicked, and the ferocious eyes seemed to suck him in.
Li Cu couldn't help backing up, as if worried about the snake coming back to life, pointing to the wall and said to Zhang Qiling: "I've seen this kind of snake, it has a human face, and it can talk."
"Be careful." Zhang Qiling said to him, but it was already too late, Li Cu had just taken two steps back, when suddenly his feet were stirred by something, and his whole body fell back.
There were two cracking sounds of "click", a burst of smoke and dust rose, and Li Cuo fell into a "hole".Li Cu coughed a few times, and saw Zhang Qiling reaching out to pull him in the dust.
Li Cu wiped the ashes off his face and stood up again, kicked the fragments of something under his feet, then turned his head to look at the place where he sat down just now.
Seeing this, he almost sat on the ground in shock.
Li Cu was right, the snake in the picture really "lived".On the ground in front of him was a pair of huge snake bones extending into the invisible darkness. The snake bones were white, and Li Cu's feet were the snake's skull.
It’s just that the skull is the size of a small truck, and the snake’s teeth are almost longer than Li Cu’s height, and the place where Li Cu just fell into is the snake’s eye socket, which is already a sunken hole. hole.
Li Cu immediately exclaimed "Ah", and then looked at Zhang Qiling, who also frowned, as if he was a little confused.
Zhang Qiling raised the flashlight in his hand and shined it on the top of the snake's skull, then groped around the edge of the bone with his hand, his expression still solemn, he only said "follow up" to Li Cuo, and then quickly walked towards the place where the snake bone extended direction to go.
Li Cu clearly saw hidden worry from Zhang Qiling's face. It seemed that something was out of his control. Li Cu couldn't imagine what kind of danger they would face next, and what could make Zhang Qiling so worried.
Zhang Qiling walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, Li Cu just wanted to ask what he found, but Zhang Qiling turned to him, looked at him, and did not move away for a while.Li Cu felt that something was different in those eyes, he seemed to be stunned by that look, he suddenly shook his head, and then he heard Zhang Qiling ask: "Why did Wu Xie bring you here. "
Li Cu scratched his head and said, "He didn't bring me here this time, I wanted to come here myself."
Zhang Qiling said: "This time?"
Li Cu nodded and said: "I was cheated by him last time. When we first met, he cut the sutures on my back with a knife, which hurt me to death. Later, he tricked me and Su Wan into What a torture in the desert." Li Cuo stared at Zhang Qiling's expression, he said casually, but he was quite curious about Zhang Qiling's reaction.
But Zhang Qiling just looked at him indifferently, and continued: "You can get information from the snake."
Li Cu nodded in acknowledgment, and said, "Boss Wu can do it too, do you know?"
Zhang Qiling didn't answer, but turned to the ground and squatted down to look at the snake bone.It was only then that Li Cu discovered in the light of Zhang Qiling's flashlight that there were other bones piled up in this section of snake bones, and they were in a mess, densely packed, and the scene was very strange.
Li Cu also squatted down, fiddled with the bones inside like Zhang Qiling, and glanced at Zhang Qiling, who seemed to have no intention of stopping him, so he picked it up curiously.However, as soon as he pulled apart two longer and larger bones of unknown origin, he saw a familiar bone—a human skull.
Li Cu immediately withdrew his hand in fright.
Zhang Qiling stretched out his hand, and used a dagger to pull out the skull from the gap in the snake bone. Li Cu looked at it in surprise, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Zhang Qiling's sight was not on the bone.
Zhang Qiling looked into the darkness in the distance. He knew that Wu Xie could read snake venom pheromones, but he knew it too late, or he could not change anything.
But no matter whether there are snakes or not, and how many there are, none of them should be allowed to appear in front of Wu Xie and Li Cu.
Zhang Qiling looked at the dagger in his hand and shook it tightly.
The white human skeletons are more terrifying than snake bones in the light, and the sheer number is even more shocking.
Li Cuo followed Zhang Qiling and found more than 20 skulls in the bone pile one after another. He was surprised at first, but then he became numb.It was like a cemetery here, all the bones were piled together and placed in a snake-shaped coffin.What is even more puzzling is that Li Cu noticed that there is a small hole on the top of each skull, and the edges of each hole are very neat. You can feel the edges and corners of the bone when you touch it, as if using some A sharp instrument cuts through the skull.
Li Cuo thought it was a coincidence when he found the first one, but later he found that there were small holes on the top of each skull.
"It's really abnormal." Li Cu touched one of the small holes and said, "This can't be hit by a bullet, can it be born?"
Zhang Qiling looked carefully at the small hole, and said: "It was artificially pierced after death, and the edges and corners are sharp. If it was there during life, the bone growth will become smooth."
"Damn it." Li Cu said, "They are so annoying when they are alive, and they have holes in the top of their heads when they are dead."
Zhang Qiling stood up, pointed to the wall behind the snake bone and said, "It's a ritual, look here."
Li Cu also looked up, and the picture on the wall came here, the main body was no longer a big black snake, but a series of murals that seemed to be descriptive.
The first thing that caught the eye was a person wearing a large robe, holding something like a chisel with a sharp and thin tip.And his other hand was pressing the head of a person. The person's eyes were closed, lying flat on the ground, naked, in a state of death.
The next connected mural explains why these human bones are embedded in snake bones: In the mural, many dead people with small holes in their heads were carried to a big black snake.That snake is very similar to the giant snake I saw before, but the space here is small, so it can be clearly seen at a glance. This snake has six legs and four wings. It looks a bit like a black dragon, but it is not a dragon. In short, it is very strange. shape.
The giant snake opened its mouth and ate those who came over one by one. In order to express this scene, it also specially drew a picture of a person's body in the snake's mouth, while the head remained in the snake's throat.
Li Cu walked a few more steps, and a scene seemed to be transformed here. The background of the picture just now was a round platform, but there were mountains and rivers in the distance, which was obviously the place where these people lived.At this time, the background of the picture in front of me turned black, but there were white clouds and mists. In the clouds and mists, there was a red light all over the huge black snake. A white silhouette of a human figure floated out of the snake's mouth.
Li Cu was confused, turned to Zhang Qiling and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you understand? I don't seem to understand."
Zhang Qiling stretched out his fingers and pointed at the white human silhouettes, and said, "They came to the afterlife with the help of snakes." After he finished speaking, he looked at a huge silhouette of an invisible building in the clouds, " That's where they want to be."
The ancients had many fantasies about the world after death, and some civilizations even believed that the world after death was real and eternal.So for death, not all fear, but a kind of worship will be derived.People use various methods to inquire about the world after death, pray to the gods, entrust totems, and convey to them the state of the afterlife world, and then through their own perceptions, create rituals that can perfectly connect with that world, so that the soul can recover arrive successfully.
Apparently, the people who built this unknown place believed that feeding the dead to the giant black snake would allow the soul to reach the world where it could rest in peace.
And those small holes in people's skulls, it can be inferred, are the channels through which the human soul can escape from the body.
Li Cuxin said: Damn, this brain hole is really big.
Thinking of Li Cu, he couldn't wait to see what the afterlife world these people imagined would be like, but when he turned his head to see Zhang Qiling, he walked back in the direction they had just walked.
Li Cu hurriedly followed and asked, "Where are you going? Don't you want to look behind?"
Zhang Qiling said indifferently: "We missed some. The wall with only snakes on it is the center of the mural. There should be more in front of it. It is the source of that kind of snake." He was more eager to know this, and also eager to confirm something.
The two walked back to the original giant snake statue. Sure enough, there was still a picture in front of the picture, but the murals here were not well preserved, and they couldn't be seen clearly unless they looked carefully.The two walked forward for more than ten meters, and there were no traces on the wall, so they looked from here.
I don't know if the murals here were affected by the earthquake and volcanic movement that happened before. There are many cracks on the wall, and the falling off is serious, so the picture can only be seen barely.
However, what he could barely see was enough to make Li Cu amazed again.
The picture really tells the origin of the giant snake.A man who looked like a tribal leader led a group of people to a huge iceberg, and inside the iceberg, there was a giant black snake coiled deep in the iceberg, in a dormant state.Then a man dressed like a wizard stood up, used what seemed to be a bone vessel in his hand to perform a divination, and reported the result to the leader.
The leader ordered to sacrifice to the gods, and the gods worshiped were in the image of a snake body and a human head. It can be inferred that this giant black snake has an extraordinary relationship with the gods they believe in.The next picture is the overturning of the world, the sudden change of the wind and the cloud, and the iceberg splits from it, the huge black snake wakes up, the iceberg closes again, and the place that the giant snake once occupied is vacant, forming a huge ice road.And the waking giant snake is what the picture in the middle of the entire wall shows.
Li Cu swallowed, and said, "I'll go, it turns out that the snake was installed in the ice passage we slid down."
"What the murals record is what they want to believe, not necessarily the truth." Zhang Qiling said, "The passage was dug artificially."
Although Li Cu couldn't tell whether it was artificial, the story still attracted him, and he said, "Then let's go back and look at the murals behind?"
Zhang Qiling nodded, and suddenly said to him: "If you encounter a snake, you should stay away from it."
Li Cu was taken aback, and automatically added the next sentence: Let me do it.Suddenly feeling a little dizzy, Su Wan Xiaoren jumped out again: "Your idol wants to protect you, are you excited!"
Li Cu grabbed the gun in his hand, he really wanted to use it, and hoped that Zhang Qiling would give him a chance to show off.
Some people really make people brave.
The two quickly walked back to the place just now. In the mural, the black snake was flying in the air, and the huge silhouette of the cloud in the distance was still standing there. Li Cu looked at the next mural with some excitement, but he was a little puzzled when he saw the mural. Inside is a wall with patterns drawn on it.
Li Cu was at a loss for a moment. Could it be that in their imagination, the last place the soul arrived was a wall?
Looking at the wall carefully, it looks familiar again, it seems that a giant snake is also painted, and it is also black.However, for some reason, Li Cu suddenly felt a chill down his back.
Sure enough, what he saw next made Li Cu's eyes go black for an instant, his feet were almost unsteady, and what spewed from the heart to his whole body was no longer blood, but bone-piercing fear.
In front of the wall in the picture, there are two people standing, one is holding a black ancient knife in his hand, the other is carrying a backpack, with both hands resting on his chest, holding a gun in his hand.
It is no different from the current state of the two.
Li Cu felt a chill down his spine. The mural in front of him was at least a thousand years old. How could people a thousand years ago paint the state of him and Zhang Qiling at this time.Even if it is possible to predict the future and draw it in advance, how can this prediction be so accurate.Not to mention anything else, just look at the thing that "Li Cu" is holding in the hand on the screen. Although there are no specific details, the shape is like a gun. Would a person thousands of years ago know what a gun looks like?
Li Cu's eyes were firmly locked by this scene, and he turned to Zhang Qiling after reacting for a while, wanting to hear Zhang Qiling's explanation, and said, "What is this? Is it a prophecy! How can it be so accurate!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Qiling looked at Li Cu, his eyes flashed with astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure, and said to him, "What did you see, what prophecy?"
Li Cu was taken aback, and while drawing the outline of the picture with his hands, he said, "Here, isn't it the two of us drawn here!"
Zhang Qiling looked at the place indicated by Li Cu, then suddenly turned to Li Cu, looked straight into his eyes, as if observing, and then said slowly: "There are no murals on this wall."
Li Cu looked at him for a long time, and laughed.
"How is it possible?" Li Cu said and looked at the wall again, "Don't tell me that this mural is only me..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Cu watched the mural disappear before his eyes, leaving only a black wall.
"Impossible, I clearly saw it!" Li Cu couldn't believe it, or he didn't know which time to believe it, and shouted, "There was indeed a mural just now, and it was painted here, and it was the two of us!"
Zhang Qiling put his hand on Li Cu's shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "Close your eyes, if you can still see something, it's an illusion, don't believe it."
Li Cuo looked at Zhang Qiling blankly, calmed down a little, and closed his eyes as he said.
"There are those kinds of snakes around here." Zhang Qiling said, "You have been affected by them."
It turned out that, thinking of the fierceness of that snake, Li Cu couldn't help but shudder.
Zhang Qiling led Li Cuo to continue walking towards the direction of the wall. Li Cuo had a subtle feeling that there were countless dangers lurking in the darkness around him. The more he couldn't see it, the more frightened he was. They all broke out in a cold sweat.
After walking not far, Li Cu suddenly smelled a very pungent sour smell, he opened his eyes reflexively, and saw an unforgettable scene in his life: on the wall not far in front of him, A big lump of something sticking to it is the source of the rancid smell.The mass was as big as a small van, dark brown, and translucent, and it was this translucency that allowed Li Cu to see clearly that the things wrapped inside were all dead people.
Li Cu's stomach churned for a while. Those people said that they were dead people were not accurate. They were still shaking slightly, which caused the jelly-like thing to tremble lightly.The flesh and flesh of those people are being corroded, the eyeballs are falling out of the eye sockets, the lips are completely turned up, revealing the white teeth inside, the internal organs in the chest and abdomen are shrinking or bursting, the bones are bubbling, and the blood is coming from various places. It flowed out and condensed in the frozen body, turning into blood-red spots.
And Li Cu could see that they were not completely dead, but they must be in pain, Li Cu seemed to be able to hear the desperate groans from those wide-open mouths.
If there's anything more frightening than seeing your own kind face such hellish torture, it's when you and those same people are old acquaintances.
Li Cu recognized one of them, even though the man was almost beyond recognition, Li Cu still recognized him.That was the person who had watched over him during the period of control by the Wang family, and was code-named "Farmer" by him.Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie were right, the Wang family did arrive here before them, but they ended up like this.I don't know if the bald and dumb man who has been hiding in this snowy area as a forest guard is also in the story Wu Xie told in a joking tone.
At the moment when one of the farmer's eyes popped out, Li Cu vomited out.The emotions in his chest included fear, shock, collapse, and even pity and sympathy for these former enemies. The accumulation made him vomit uncontrollably.
Li Cu squatted on the ground and vomited for a long time, and finally kept spitting water. He couldn't stand up, and he didn't dare to stand up, his mind went blank.
However, the reality did not give him time to relax, he was pulled up by Zhang Qiling, at the end of the darkness, there were two huge blood red eyes, looking at him.
The snake finally appeared, but it was bigger and more terrifying than imagined.The giant black snake coiled in front, occupying the passage ahead, and the black scales reflected faint light in the light of the flashlight.
This is an ancient giant beast, a demon who was once worshiped as a totem.
Li Cu felt Zhang Qiling pushing him, and said to him: "Stand against the wall, close your eyes, and don't believe what you see."
Li Cu came back to his senses, but his heart was almost desperate. It was obvious that the thing he couldn't look at just now was the masterpiece of this demon. It was too big and too strong.Li Cu suddenly realized that not only he, but also Zhang Qiling would be wrapped and corroded by that translucent frozen object like him, and died without a whole body.
He thought that he might face death, but this way was completely beyond his cognition.
People's sense of fear is very strange, there is a limit point, after this limit point, it will be weakened, or the nerves have become numb to it.Li Cu was like this at this time, he died tragically anyway, suddenly Li Cu's hands stopped shaking, and his stomach didn't feel like vomiting anymore.Li Cu raised his gun and stood beside Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling looked at him in surprise, and said: "You can't approach it, you will die."
Li Cu wanted to laugh, but he found that his throat was unable to make a sound due to excessive fear. After a burst of tinnitus, Li Cu coughed violently twice before finally being able to speak: "Brother Zhang, take me with you, I I promised Boss Wu to help him watch over you. If you die to save me, he will let me be buried with you later, even if I die next, he will not collect my body after he finds out the situation. "
Li Cu chuckled, thinking that he must have been so cool back then.
Zhang Qiling wanted to say something else, but the black snake had already spotted them, its huge body started to swim, and raised its head high at a distance of less than ten meters from the two of them, the scales all over the body shook, making a rustling sound .That is the typical posture of a snake preparing to strike.
Li Cu suppressed the fear in his heart, and stared at the giant snake, but suddenly made a ecstatic new discovery, the giant snake was injured, and it was not serious!Obviously those Wang family members did not die in vain, at least some of them should have escaped, and fought with this giant snake, consuming a lot of its physical strength.
There are many cuts on the giant snake's body, which look like blast wounds. Maybe the Wang family tried to blow it up with dynamite.
Zhang Qiling lowered his waist, clenched the ancient black gold knife in his hand, and said in a low voice: "I will shoot its body with a gun later, but don't get close to it. There may be a problem with its pheromones."
has a problem?Li Cu didn't know why, but it didn't matter. At this moment, Li Cu was only inexplicably excited.
The giant snake itself was black, but the wounds on its body bled a lot, and the whole body was almost covered with a layer of red blood. It really looked like the one depicted in the mural, when it was soaring in the air.It's just that the snake in the mural is about to fly to the Land of Eternal Life. Now this snake might really kill people.
It's ironic to think about it. People in the uncivilized period worshiped the existence with admiration, and it was completely obliterated from this world by the so-called civilized and intelligent people.
The confrontation ended soon, and the giant snake suddenly rushed towards the two of them, seeming to be filled with incomparable anger and infinite hatred. When a gust of wind passed, blood from the snake sprayed out and flung it on the wall, leaving red marks.
Zhang Qiling kicked Li Cu to the side, while avoiding the fierce blow sideways.But the giant snake obviously didn't give up, the snake's head didn't turn back, and the snake's tail, like a giant whip, slammed at the two of them again.
Maybe the giant snake was really exhausted, maybe it was anger that affected the accuracy of the attack, and the two escaped the blow again.
Li Cuo watched the two blows shake the surrounding walls, but he was still secretly startled. When he got nervous, he lost control of the gun in his hand and hit the snake's head wildly.
Zhang Qiling suddenly shouted: "Don't shoot!" At the same time, he stretched out his hand to press Li Cu's gun.
Li Cu was baffled for a while, wouldn't he wait to die if he didn't beat him!But obviously the giant snake was enraged again by his several shuttle bullets, and this time it attacked almost straight in the direction of the bullets, that is, the direction of Li Cu.
The bloody mouth came suddenly with a pungent smell, Li Cu yelled and another burst of gunshots.Zhang Qiling yanked his back fiercely, and Li Cu lay down on the ground in an instant, and he clearly saw that the snake's head twisted violently a few times and bumped into Zhang Qiling.
Li Cu then heard a muffled groan, it was Zhang Qiling's voice, and the thick snake body squeezed towards him, and he almost lost his breath from being hit.After the snake's body bounced away again, Li Cu reluctantly got up, but the scene in front of him made his heart skip a beat. He saw that Zhang Qiling was stuck in the snake's mouth, and the ancient black gold knife was inserted into the upper jaw of the snake. It was bright red, and the sharp fangs of the giant snake had already scratched his flesh.
The snake's head twisted again, and Zhang Qiling was thrown out, but his hand was still holding the handle of the ancient knife.Some liquid was sprayed from the snake's mouth, which was black blood, and at the same time, the snake's head slammed into the wall on one side.
When Zhang Qiling's back was almost touching the wall, he grabbed one of the snake's long teeth, then pushed his knee to the edge of the snake's mouth, and hid in the snake's mouth.
The head of the giant snake slammed into the wall, and most of the wall collapsed with a bang, which shows the force of the blow.And the snake seemed to want to choose this way of dying together, and hit the wall several times in a row, trying to kill Zhang Qiling.However, the black gold ancient knife was firmly nailed to its upper jaw, and the impact just now had damaged the jawbone. The entire snake's head had been deformed, and the mouth was covered with black blood.
Zhang Qiling's whole body was also stained with the snake's black blood. After all, he was a human being after all, and suffered serious injuries from the successive impacts of the giant snake.During the last shake of the snake's head, Zhang Qiling let go of the ancient black gold knife, turned over from the snake's mouth, and black blood splashed in an arc in the air.And with a bang, the snake's head crashed into a wall again, and the billowing smoke and dust blurred the sight.
Li Cu was stunned, he didn't know what to do, he almost forgot to breathe.Finally he saw Zhang Qiling got up from the ground, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the snake's head was already on the ground.He thought it was over, but Zhang Qiling wiped the blood off his face and walked towards the snake head again.
The snake's head was still twisting, as if it was struggling for the last time, but Zhang Qiling held the black gold ancient knife again, pressed it firmly against the mouth dripping with black blood, and inserted it deeper.Then some more blood spattered his face.
Snake blood has a scorching tingling sensation.But Zhang Qiling knew that he couldn't let go and run away, he had to make sure the snake died.
Zhang Qiling guessed right, this snake was different from all the snakes before, it was the truly terrifying one.
All the snakes they have encountered can transmit information through pheromones. The information is original and true. Although it is difficult to interpret, it can restore many historical truths.
For many years, the Zhang family has been looking for someone who can interpret the information carried by this snake. Zhang Qiling knew that Wu Xie had this ability, but he did not expect Wu Xie to really use it, and through the information he obtained, his plan It's come this far.I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune.Because people who have been infected with snake venom cannot get rid of its influence. This influence is subtle and increases day by day.
Through getting along with Wu Xie these days, Zhang Qiling speculated that Wu Xie should have been separated from the snake venom for a long time. Wu Xie did not bear too much mental burden, at least he didn't see it. This is undoubtedly comforting.But if Wu Xie comes into contact with snake venom again, the consequences will be doubled, and may even be life-threatening.
However, this was not what worried him the most. What was really frightening was that the pheromones of the snake in front of him had completely opposite functions to the pheromones of the black-haired snake.Zhang Qiling has seen from some ancient books kept by the Zhang family that all the pheromone information of this snake is pure hallucination.That is to say, through access to this information, all the people who can read it are illusions, and it is not like reading the pheromones of the black-haired snake, they can obtain information about events that actually happened.
There is no need to be too frightened if it is just a false appearance, but this kind of information is not a meaningless threat, a threat that people can see through at a glance, but a kind of inducement.It will stimulate the greatest fear in the reader's heart, and combined with the real part that already exists in the reader's memory, it will create a real illusion for the reader that cannot be doubted at all.
In other words, the illusion it creates, the material
"Your head was injured before." Zhang Qiling said.
Li Cu hurriedly replied: "Well, I lost a piece of skull." He pointed to the injured part, "Here, but now it's healed."
Zhang Qiling frowned slightly, and said: "Don't move, let me see." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed on his head.
Li Cu was startled immediately, his back was tense, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and his head began to feel dizzy.
Zhang Qiling looked at it for a while, and said: "There is no wound, but your previous injury was very serious. Just now I fell down and I didn't have time to hold you, and you hit your head again. Although you can't see it, there may be other reactions."
It's okay if Zhang Qiling doesn't say anything, but when he said that, Li Cu immediately felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, and he clenched his fists and pressed on his chest.Zhang Qiling opened his hand and began to examine him like a professional doctor.
Li Cuomu was there, holding his arms stiffly, and there was a little man in his head who looked like Su Wan, jumping and shouting: "Is it a pleasure for the idol to help you check!"
Li Cu imitated kicking that villain away in his heart, but the lingering sound lingered, and his face felt a little hot unconsciously.
These days, Li Cu has been observing Zhang Qiling secretly, and found that this person is really as recorded in Wu Xie's notes.Usually, the sense of presence is not strong, because there are few words and no superfluous actions.But once there is an unexpected situation, it will immediately become the focus of the whole team, and everyone will act according to his face.
Although usually there is no obvious expression on this person's face, and his eyes are indifferent, but if you look at him, you will have the feeling of being seen through by him within a second, which will make people very uncomfortable.
Before falling here, the only situation where Zhang Qiling could see more expressions and movements was when Wu Xie and Fatty talked to him.Zhang Qiling seemed to only care about these two people, at least it was different from others.
Li Cu couldn't understand the relationship between them. He always felt that there was something more serious between them than just friends.
Let's talk about Zhang Qiling again, although the temperament on the surface is very similar to what Wu Xie recorded, but when he really gets along, he has more experiences that are hard to describe.
This is also related to Li Cu's own growth experience.A teenager, at an age when he should be presumptuous, suddenly faced a change in his entire life.He doesn't have time to digest, and he doesn't have the ability to control, even though he can still play stubborn, but in this vortex, he is a weak person after all.To a certain extent, this is also the reason why he chose Wu Xie. He knew Wu Xie, but he didn't fully understand it, but he saw that Wu Xie was essentially the same person as him.So he likes to see Wu Xie's transformation, even his madness. Wu Xie like this makes him see infinite possibilities.Nothing is more precious to someone like him who craves change than possibility.
However, Zhang Qiling is different. In Li Cu's view, Zhang Qiling is born strong.His experience has been almost deified in Li Cu's impression.Unlike Wu Xie and Fatty, he once experienced Zhang Qiling together, so in all his knowledge, the symbolic meaning of the word Zhang Qiling is far greater than the influence of reality.
People always have something to look up to in order to persevere in adversity.Li Cu doesn't have any idolatry complex, he thinks that maybe he just unknowingly regards Zhang Qiling as such a kind of admiration.
But damn it, Li Cu was secretly distressed: Is it appropriate to blush!
Zhang Qiling withdrew his hand to look at him, and said, "It's not broken." After a pause, there was some doubt in his eyes, as if he also noticed that Li Cuo's face was abnormal.
Li Cu quickly looked away, wanted to explain but felt that he couldn't explain at all, and felt distressed in his chest.He wanted to say thank you, he wanted to ask Zhang Qiling some questions, and he wanted to express his feelings as a small fan, but he retched when he opened his mouth.
"No, I'm sorry, I'm a little sick, maybe I just fell and got a concussion." Li Cu said embarrassingly.
Zhang Qiling hummed, and said, "Take a break." He handed him the water bottle, stood up, and walked towards the wall behind the two of them. ?
Li Cu took a sip of water and suddenly thought of Wu Xie.
That mean-mouthed and nervous man will definitely not give him water at this time, but will take the opportunity to dislike him.However, when his emotions are close to collapse or in distress, he will use some unimaginable ways to clearly prove to him that he is very important, until Li Cu wipes off the dust on his face and gets up again.Li Cuo smiled as he thought about it, so lightly that he didn't even feel it.
Li Cu sat for a while, the dizziness in his head finally eased, and his chest was no longer dull. He looked towards the light, while Zhang Qiling was still focusing on the wall behind him.
Li Cu stood up and walked towards the wall, but the scene under the light circle of the flashlight scared him half to death immediately.
Li Cu saw that the lifelike and entrenched snake on the entire wall was a big snake like the big white snake he met in the underground of Gutongjing.But this one is black, and the scales are dotted with golden light, and those snake eyes, with torch-like gaze, are "staring" at him firmly.
Li Cu's dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms caused by a slight concussion subsided instantly, not because he was cured by the picture in front of him, but because the impact of the picture had made fear replace all other perceptions.
This is a large-scale, well-preserved mural.At first Li Cu also glanced towards the wall, but then he was dizzy and only saw a mass of darkness, thinking it was just a black wall.Now that I looked carefully, I realized that it was not a completely black wall, but a black snake occupying the entire wall.
The development of murals can be traced back to the Stone Age, and it has always been a projection of the development of human civilization.Li Cuo had accidentally seen an introduction to the rock paintings of Yinshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia. The ancestors created many pictures over a period of 1 years. gallery.
Li Cu was still very disdainful at that time, thinking to himself that people at that time were really boring, spending so much effort on drawing these meaningless things.And now he saw the paintings left by some more "boring" people, but these had meaning, at least he was taken aback.
Li Cu didn't understand that these paintings were by no means purely artistic creations.People in ancient times, with awe of heaven, earth and nature, did everything for survival.Primitive religion became the belief of people at that time, and some deified animals also became totems they worshiped.It is under the guidance of religion and totem that people have worked tirelessly to create such a symbolic picture.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the black snake is drawn so finely and so broadly that it is absolutely extraordinary.It is hard to imagine how many craftsmen would have worked day and night on the wall to complete this huge project when drawing this picture.The vastness of the project also symbolizes the great significance.
Snakes, snakes again, ever since Li Cu came out of the desert, he has had a deep fear of snakes.This cold-blooded creature that always seems to live in the shadows, acts like a ghost, and it is really intimidating.
The snake on the screen opened its bloody mouth wide, its sharp fangs expressed with exaggerated lines, and each of its red eyes seemed to be as big as ten balls he usually kicked, and the ferocious eyes seemed to suck him in.
Li Cu couldn't help backing up, as if worried about the snake coming back to life, pointing to the wall and said to Zhang Qiling: "I've seen this kind of snake, it has a human face, and it can talk."
"Be careful." Zhang Qiling said to him, but it was already too late, Li Cu had just taken two steps back, when suddenly his feet were stirred by something, and his whole body fell back.
There were two cracking sounds of "click", a burst of smoke and dust rose, and Li Cuo fell into a "hole".Li Cu coughed a few times, and saw Zhang Qiling reaching out to pull him in the dust.
Li Cu wiped the ashes off his face and stood up again, kicked the fragments of something under his feet, then turned his head to look at the place where he sat down just now.
Seeing this, he almost sat on the ground in shock.
Li Cu was right, the snake in the picture really "lived".On the ground in front of him was a pair of huge snake bones extending into the invisible darkness. The snake bones were white, and Li Cu's feet were the snake's skull.
It’s just that the skull is the size of a small truck, and the snake’s teeth are almost longer than Li Cu’s height, and the place where Li Cu just fell into is the snake’s eye socket, which is already a sunken hole. hole.
Li Cu immediately exclaimed "Ah", and then looked at Zhang Qiling, who also frowned, as if he was a little confused.
Zhang Qiling raised the flashlight in his hand and shined it on the top of the snake's skull, then groped around the edge of the bone with his hand, his expression still solemn, he only said "follow up" to Li Cuo, and then quickly walked towards the place where the snake bone extended direction to go.
Li Cu clearly saw hidden worry from Zhang Qiling's face. It seemed that something was out of his control. Li Cu couldn't imagine what kind of danger they would face next, and what could make Zhang Qiling so worried.
Zhang Qiling walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, Li Cu just wanted to ask what he found, but Zhang Qiling turned to him, looked at him, and did not move away for a while.Li Cu felt that something was different in those eyes, he seemed to be stunned by that look, he suddenly shook his head, and then he heard Zhang Qiling ask: "Why did Wu Xie bring you here. "
Li Cu scratched his head and said, "He didn't bring me here this time, I wanted to come here myself."
Zhang Qiling said: "This time?"
Li Cu nodded and said: "I was cheated by him last time. When we first met, he cut the sutures on my back with a knife, which hurt me to death. Later, he tricked me and Su Wan into What a torture in the desert." Li Cuo stared at Zhang Qiling's expression, he said casually, but he was quite curious about Zhang Qiling's reaction.
But Zhang Qiling just looked at him indifferently, and continued: "You can get information from the snake."
Li Cu nodded in acknowledgment, and said, "Boss Wu can do it too, do you know?"
Zhang Qiling didn't answer, but turned to the ground and squatted down to look at the snake bone.It was only then that Li Cu discovered in the light of Zhang Qiling's flashlight that there were other bones piled up in this section of snake bones, and they were in a mess, densely packed, and the scene was very strange.
Li Cu also squatted down, fiddled with the bones inside like Zhang Qiling, and glanced at Zhang Qiling, who seemed to have no intention of stopping him, so he picked it up curiously.However, as soon as he pulled apart two longer and larger bones of unknown origin, he saw a familiar bone—a human skull.
Li Cu immediately withdrew his hand in fright.
Zhang Qiling stretched out his hand, and used a dagger to pull out the skull from the gap in the snake bone. Li Cu looked at it in surprise, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Zhang Qiling's sight was not on the bone.
Zhang Qiling looked into the darkness in the distance. He knew that Wu Xie could read snake venom pheromones, but he knew it too late, or he could not change anything.
But no matter whether there are snakes or not, and how many there are, none of them should be allowed to appear in front of Wu Xie and Li Cu.
Zhang Qiling looked at the dagger in his hand and shook it tightly.
The white human skeletons are more terrifying than snake bones in the light, and the sheer number is even more shocking.
Li Cuo followed Zhang Qiling and found more than 20 skulls in the bone pile one after another. He was surprised at first, but then he became numb.It was like a cemetery here, all the bones were piled together and placed in a snake-shaped coffin.What is even more puzzling is that Li Cu noticed that there is a small hole on the top of each skull, and the edges of each hole are very neat. You can feel the edges and corners of the bone when you touch it, as if using some A sharp instrument cuts through the skull.
Li Cuo thought it was a coincidence when he found the first one, but later he found that there were small holes on the top of each skull.
"It's really abnormal." Li Cu touched one of the small holes and said, "This can't be hit by a bullet, can it be born?"
Zhang Qiling looked carefully at the small hole, and said: "It was artificially pierced after death, and the edges and corners are sharp. If it was there during life, the bone growth will become smooth."
"Damn it." Li Cu said, "They are so annoying when they are alive, and they have holes in the top of their heads when they are dead."
Zhang Qiling stood up, pointed to the wall behind the snake bone and said, "It's a ritual, look here."
Li Cu also looked up, and the picture on the wall came here, the main body was no longer a big black snake, but a series of murals that seemed to be descriptive.
The first thing that caught the eye was a person wearing a large robe, holding something like a chisel with a sharp and thin tip.And his other hand was pressing the head of a person. The person's eyes were closed, lying flat on the ground, naked, in a state of death.
The next connected mural explains why these human bones are embedded in snake bones: In the mural, many dead people with small holes in their heads were carried to a big black snake.That snake is very similar to the giant snake I saw before, but the space here is small, so it can be clearly seen at a glance. This snake has six legs and four wings. It looks a bit like a black dragon, but it is not a dragon. In short, it is very strange. shape.
The giant snake opened its mouth and ate those who came over one by one. In order to express this scene, it also specially drew a picture of a person's body in the snake's mouth, while the head remained in the snake's throat.
Li Cu walked a few more steps, and a scene seemed to be transformed here. The background of the picture just now was a round platform, but there were mountains and rivers in the distance, which was obviously the place where these people lived.At this time, the background of the picture in front of me turned black, but there were white clouds and mists. In the clouds and mists, there was a red light all over the huge black snake. A white silhouette of a human figure floated out of the snake's mouth.
Li Cu was confused, turned to Zhang Qiling and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you understand? I don't seem to understand."
Zhang Qiling stretched out his fingers and pointed at the white human silhouettes, and said, "They came to the afterlife with the help of snakes." After he finished speaking, he looked at a huge silhouette of an invisible building in the clouds, " That's where they want to be."
The ancients had many fantasies about the world after death, and some civilizations even believed that the world after death was real and eternal.So for death, not all fear, but a kind of worship will be derived.People use various methods to inquire about the world after death, pray to the gods, entrust totems, and convey to them the state of the afterlife world, and then through their own perceptions, create rituals that can perfectly connect with that world, so that the soul can recover arrive successfully.
Apparently, the people who built this unknown place believed that feeding the dead to the giant black snake would allow the soul to reach the world where it could rest in peace.
And those small holes in people's skulls, it can be inferred, are the channels through which the human soul can escape from the body.
Li Cuxin said: Damn, this brain hole is really big.
Thinking of Li Cu, he couldn't wait to see what the afterlife world these people imagined would be like, but when he turned his head to see Zhang Qiling, he walked back in the direction they had just walked.
Li Cu hurriedly followed and asked, "Where are you going? Don't you want to look behind?"
Zhang Qiling said indifferently: "We missed some. The wall with only snakes on it is the center of the mural. There should be more in front of it. It is the source of that kind of snake." He was more eager to know this, and also eager to confirm something.
The two walked back to the original giant snake statue. Sure enough, there was still a picture in front of the picture, but the murals here were not well preserved, and they couldn't be seen clearly unless they looked carefully.The two walked forward for more than ten meters, and there were no traces on the wall, so they looked from here.
I don't know if the murals here were affected by the earthquake and volcanic movement that happened before. There are many cracks on the wall, and the falling off is serious, so the picture can only be seen barely.
However, what he could barely see was enough to make Li Cu amazed again.
The picture really tells the origin of the giant snake.A man who looked like a tribal leader led a group of people to a huge iceberg, and inside the iceberg, there was a giant black snake coiled deep in the iceberg, in a dormant state.Then a man dressed like a wizard stood up, used what seemed to be a bone vessel in his hand to perform a divination, and reported the result to the leader.
The leader ordered to sacrifice to the gods, and the gods worshiped were in the image of a snake body and a human head. It can be inferred that this giant black snake has an extraordinary relationship with the gods they believe in.The next picture is the overturning of the world, the sudden change of the wind and the cloud, and the iceberg splits from it, the huge black snake wakes up, the iceberg closes again, and the place that the giant snake once occupied is vacant, forming a huge ice road.And the waking giant snake is what the picture in the middle of the entire wall shows.
Li Cu swallowed, and said, "I'll go, it turns out that the snake was installed in the ice passage we slid down."
"What the murals record is what they want to believe, not necessarily the truth." Zhang Qiling said, "The passage was dug artificially."
Although Li Cu couldn't tell whether it was artificial, the story still attracted him, and he said, "Then let's go back and look at the murals behind?"
Zhang Qiling nodded, and suddenly said to him: "If you encounter a snake, you should stay away from it."
Li Cu was taken aback, and automatically added the next sentence: Let me do it.Suddenly feeling a little dizzy, Su Wan Xiaoren jumped out again: "Your idol wants to protect you, are you excited!"
Li Cu grabbed the gun in his hand, he really wanted to use it, and hoped that Zhang Qiling would give him a chance to show off.
Some people really make people brave.
The two quickly walked back to the place just now. In the mural, the black snake was flying in the air, and the huge silhouette of the cloud in the distance was still standing there. Li Cu looked at the next mural with some excitement, but he was a little puzzled when he saw the mural. Inside is a wall with patterns drawn on it.
Li Cu was at a loss for a moment. Could it be that in their imagination, the last place the soul arrived was a wall?
Looking at the wall carefully, it looks familiar again, it seems that a giant snake is also painted, and it is also black.However, for some reason, Li Cu suddenly felt a chill down his back.
Sure enough, what he saw next made Li Cu's eyes go black for an instant, his feet were almost unsteady, and what spewed from the heart to his whole body was no longer blood, but bone-piercing fear.
In front of the wall in the picture, there are two people standing, one is holding a black ancient knife in his hand, the other is carrying a backpack, with both hands resting on his chest, holding a gun in his hand.
It is no different from the current state of the two.
Li Cu felt a chill down his spine. The mural in front of him was at least a thousand years old. How could people a thousand years ago paint the state of him and Zhang Qiling at this time.Even if it is possible to predict the future and draw it in advance, how can this prediction be so accurate.Not to mention anything else, just look at the thing that "Li Cu" is holding in the hand on the screen. Although there are no specific details, the shape is like a gun. Would a person thousands of years ago know what a gun looks like?
Li Cu's eyes were firmly locked by this scene, and he turned to Zhang Qiling after reacting for a while, wanting to hear Zhang Qiling's explanation, and said, "What is this? Is it a prophecy! How can it be so accurate!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Qiling looked at Li Cu, his eyes flashed with astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure, and said to him, "What did you see, what prophecy?"
Li Cu was taken aback, and while drawing the outline of the picture with his hands, he said, "Here, isn't it the two of us drawn here!"
Zhang Qiling looked at the place indicated by Li Cu, then suddenly turned to Li Cu, looked straight into his eyes, as if observing, and then said slowly: "There are no murals on this wall."
Li Cu looked at him for a long time, and laughed.
"How is it possible?" Li Cu said and looked at the wall again, "Don't tell me that this mural is only me..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Cu watched the mural disappear before his eyes, leaving only a black wall.
"Impossible, I clearly saw it!" Li Cu couldn't believe it, or he didn't know which time to believe it, and shouted, "There was indeed a mural just now, and it was painted here, and it was the two of us!"
Zhang Qiling put his hand on Li Cu's shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "Close your eyes, if you can still see something, it's an illusion, don't believe it."
Li Cuo looked at Zhang Qiling blankly, calmed down a little, and closed his eyes as he said.
"There are those kinds of snakes around here." Zhang Qiling said, "You have been affected by them."
It turned out that, thinking of the fierceness of that snake, Li Cu couldn't help but shudder.
Zhang Qiling led Li Cuo to continue walking towards the direction of the wall. Li Cuo had a subtle feeling that there were countless dangers lurking in the darkness around him. The more he couldn't see it, the more frightened he was. They all broke out in a cold sweat.
After walking not far, Li Cu suddenly smelled a very pungent sour smell, he opened his eyes reflexively, and saw an unforgettable scene in his life: on the wall not far in front of him, A big lump of something sticking to it is the source of the rancid smell.The mass was as big as a small van, dark brown, and translucent, and it was this translucency that allowed Li Cu to see clearly that the things wrapped inside were all dead people.
Li Cu's stomach churned for a while. Those people said that they were dead people were not accurate. They were still shaking slightly, which caused the jelly-like thing to tremble lightly.The flesh and flesh of those people are being corroded, the eyeballs are falling out of the eye sockets, the lips are completely turned up, revealing the white teeth inside, the internal organs in the chest and abdomen are shrinking or bursting, the bones are bubbling, and the blood is coming from various places. It flowed out and condensed in the frozen body, turning into blood-red spots.
And Li Cu could see that they were not completely dead, but they must be in pain, Li Cu seemed to be able to hear the desperate groans from those wide-open mouths.
If there's anything more frightening than seeing your own kind face such hellish torture, it's when you and those same people are old acquaintances.
Li Cu recognized one of them, even though the man was almost beyond recognition, Li Cu still recognized him.That was the person who had watched over him during the period of control by the Wang family, and was code-named "Farmer" by him.Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie were right, the Wang family did arrive here before them, but they ended up like this.I don't know if the bald and dumb man who has been hiding in this snowy area as a forest guard is also in the story Wu Xie told in a joking tone.
At the moment when one of the farmer's eyes popped out, Li Cu vomited out.The emotions in his chest included fear, shock, collapse, and even pity and sympathy for these former enemies. The accumulation made him vomit uncontrollably.
Li Cu squatted on the ground and vomited for a long time, and finally kept spitting water. He couldn't stand up, and he didn't dare to stand up, his mind went blank.
However, the reality did not give him time to relax, he was pulled up by Zhang Qiling, at the end of the darkness, there were two huge blood red eyes, looking at him.
The snake finally appeared, but it was bigger and more terrifying than imagined.The giant black snake coiled in front, occupying the passage ahead, and the black scales reflected faint light in the light of the flashlight.
This is an ancient giant beast, a demon who was once worshiped as a totem.
Li Cu felt Zhang Qiling pushing him, and said to him: "Stand against the wall, close your eyes, and don't believe what you see."
Li Cu came back to his senses, but his heart was almost desperate. It was obvious that the thing he couldn't look at just now was the masterpiece of this demon. It was too big and too strong.Li Cu suddenly realized that not only he, but also Zhang Qiling would be wrapped and corroded by that translucent frozen object like him, and died without a whole body.
He thought that he might face death, but this way was completely beyond his cognition.
People's sense of fear is very strange, there is a limit point, after this limit point, it will be weakened, or the nerves have become numb to it.Li Cu was like this at this time, he died tragically anyway, suddenly Li Cu's hands stopped shaking, and his stomach didn't feel like vomiting anymore.Li Cu raised his gun and stood beside Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling looked at him in surprise, and said: "You can't approach it, you will die."
Li Cu wanted to laugh, but he found that his throat was unable to make a sound due to excessive fear. After a burst of tinnitus, Li Cu coughed violently twice before finally being able to speak: "Brother Zhang, take me with you, I I promised Boss Wu to help him watch over you. If you die to save me, he will let me be buried with you later, even if I die next, he will not collect my body after he finds out the situation. "
Li Cu chuckled, thinking that he must have been so cool back then.
Zhang Qiling wanted to say something else, but the black snake had already spotted them, its huge body started to swim, and raised its head high at a distance of less than ten meters from the two of them, the scales all over the body shook, making a rustling sound .That is the typical posture of a snake preparing to strike.
Li Cu suppressed the fear in his heart, and stared at the giant snake, but suddenly made a ecstatic new discovery, the giant snake was injured, and it was not serious!Obviously those Wang family members did not die in vain, at least some of them should have escaped, and fought with this giant snake, consuming a lot of its physical strength.
There are many cuts on the giant snake's body, which look like blast wounds. Maybe the Wang family tried to blow it up with dynamite.
Zhang Qiling lowered his waist, clenched the ancient black gold knife in his hand, and said in a low voice: "I will shoot its body with a gun later, but don't get close to it. There may be a problem with its pheromones."
has a problem?Li Cu didn't know why, but it didn't matter. At this moment, Li Cu was only inexplicably excited.
The giant snake itself was black, but the wounds on its body bled a lot, and the whole body was almost covered with a layer of red blood. It really looked like the one depicted in the mural, when it was soaring in the air.It's just that the snake in the mural is about to fly to the Land of Eternal Life. Now this snake might really kill people.
It's ironic to think about it. People in the uncivilized period worshiped the existence with admiration, and it was completely obliterated from this world by the so-called civilized and intelligent people.
The confrontation ended soon, and the giant snake suddenly rushed towards the two of them, seeming to be filled with incomparable anger and infinite hatred. When a gust of wind passed, blood from the snake sprayed out and flung it on the wall, leaving red marks.
Zhang Qiling kicked Li Cu to the side, while avoiding the fierce blow sideways.But the giant snake obviously didn't give up, the snake's head didn't turn back, and the snake's tail, like a giant whip, slammed at the two of them again.
Maybe the giant snake was really exhausted, maybe it was anger that affected the accuracy of the attack, and the two escaped the blow again.
Li Cuo watched the two blows shake the surrounding walls, but he was still secretly startled. When he got nervous, he lost control of the gun in his hand and hit the snake's head wildly.
Zhang Qiling suddenly shouted: "Don't shoot!" At the same time, he stretched out his hand to press Li Cu's gun.
Li Cu was baffled for a while, wouldn't he wait to die if he didn't beat him!But obviously the giant snake was enraged again by his several shuttle bullets, and this time it attacked almost straight in the direction of the bullets, that is, the direction of Li Cu.
The bloody mouth came suddenly with a pungent smell, Li Cu yelled and another burst of gunshots.Zhang Qiling yanked his back fiercely, and Li Cu lay down on the ground in an instant, and he clearly saw that the snake's head twisted violently a few times and bumped into Zhang Qiling.
Li Cu then heard a muffled groan, it was Zhang Qiling's voice, and the thick snake body squeezed towards him, and he almost lost his breath from being hit.After the snake's body bounced away again, Li Cu reluctantly got up, but the scene in front of him made his heart skip a beat. He saw that Zhang Qiling was stuck in the snake's mouth, and the ancient black gold knife was inserted into the upper jaw of the snake. It was bright red, and the sharp fangs of the giant snake had already scratched his flesh.
The snake's head twisted again, and Zhang Qiling was thrown out, but his hand was still holding the handle of the ancient knife.Some liquid was sprayed from the snake's mouth, which was black blood, and at the same time, the snake's head slammed into the wall on one side.
When Zhang Qiling's back was almost touching the wall, he grabbed one of the snake's long teeth, then pushed his knee to the edge of the snake's mouth, and hid in the snake's mouth.
The head of the giant snake slammed into the wall, and most of the wall collapsed with a bang, which shows the force of the blow.And the snake seemed to want to choose this way of dying together, and hit the wall several times in a row, trying to kill Zhang Qiling.However, the black gold ancient knife was firmly nailed to its upper jaw, and the impact just now had damaged the jawbone. The entire snake's head had been deformed, and the mouth was covered with black blood.
Zhang Qiling's whole body was also stained with the snake's black blood. After all, he was a human being after all, and suffered serious injuries from the successive impacts of the giant snake.During the last shake of the snake's head, Zhang Qiling let go of the ancient black gold knife, turned over from the snake's mouth, and black blood splashed in an arc in the air.And with a bang, the snake's head crashed into a wall again, and the billowing smoke and dust blurred the sight.
Li Cu was stunned, he didn't know what to do, he almost forgot to breathe.Finally he saw Zhang Qiling got up from the ground, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the snake's head was already on the ground.He thought it was over, but Zhang Qiling wiped the blood off his face and walked towards the snake head again.
The snake's head was still twisting, as if it was struggling for the last time, but Zhang Qiling held the black gold ancient knife again, pressed it firmly against the mouth dripping with black blood, and inserted it deeper.Then some more blood spattered his face.
Snake blood has a scorching tingling sensation.But Zhang Qiling knew that he couldn't let go and run away, he had to make sure the snake died.
Zhang Qiling guessed right, this snake was different from all the snakes before, it was the truly terrifying one.
All the snakes they have encountered can transmit information through pheromones. The information is original and true. Although it is difficult to interpret, it can restore many historical truths.
For many years, the Zhang family has been looking for someone who can interpret the information carried by this snake. Zhang Qiling knew that Wu Xie had this ability, but he did not expect Wu Xie to really use it, and through the information he obtained, his plan It's come this far.I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune.Because people who have been infected with snake venom cannot get rid of its influence. This influence is subtle and increases day by day.
Through getting along with Wu Xie these days, Zhang Qiling speculated that Wu Xie should have been separated from the snake venom for a long time. Wu Xie did not bear too much mental burden, at least he didn't see it. This is undoubtedly comforting.But if Wu Xie comes into contact with snake venom again, the consequences will be doubled, and may even be life-threatening.
However, this was not what worried him the most. What was really frightening was that the pheromones of the snake in front of him had completely opposite functions to the pheromones of the black-haired snake.Zhang Qiling has seen from some ancient books kept by the Zhang family that all the pheromone information of this snake is pure hallucination.That is to say, through access to this information, all the people who can read it are illusions, and it is not like reading the pheromones of the black-haired snake, they can obtain information about events that actually happened.
There is no need to be too frightened if it is just a false appearance, but this kind of information is not a meaningless threat, a threat that people can see through at a glance, but a kind of inducement.It will stimulate the greatest fear in the reader's heart, and combined with the real part that already exists in the reader's memory, it will create a real illusion for the reader that cannot be doubted at all.
In other words, the illusion it creates, the material
