Chapter 428: The Way of the Beast!
At first glance, the python sculpture looks just like the real thing.
Huang Hao had an idea and asked: "Is this python hiding a way to the next level?"
After looking around the stone pillar, I found that there was indeed a hidden stone door behind it. You couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully.
"Jin Peng, find a way to open the secret door."
Wang Jinpeng took out his tools and prepared to pry the door open, but no matter whether he used a shovel or a crowbar, the stone door would not budge.
"I can't open it. Is this really a door?" Wang Jinpeng was a little confused and was about to ask Xu Ning to open the door together.
Lin Ran felt something was wrong, shook his head and said: "Don't push the door in a hurry, there should be a mechanism here."
Everyone looked around with flashlights and found nothing special, and they all looked suspicious.
Lin Ran pondered for a moment and focused on the python carving.
There's something wrong with the snakehead's outfit. There's definitely a trap here!
Lin Ran said to Wang Jinpeng: "Can you let me stand on your shoulder for a while?"
"Of course, but what do you want to do?" Wang Jinpeng readily agreed.
"I want to get closer to the snake head and take a look."
"Okay, but Brother Lin, please pay attention to controlling your balance." Wang Jinpeng squatted down and Lin Ran put his backpack on the ground, but after thinking for a while, he took out the wooden sculpture he just picked up.
As he got closer to the snake's head, Lin Ran discovered that there was indeed a groove in the snake's mouth. He took the wood carving out of his pocket, put it on and found that it just matched.
crunch.
As the wood carving was put into the snake's mouth, a faint instigating sound came from the quiet mausoleum, which was the sound of the mechanism starting up.Very weak!
However, it was not the stone door that opened.
In the center of the stone carvings of numerous animals, a statue suddenly rose up in a space that was suddenly empty.
Look carefully, it's a snake standing upright!
No, it is different from ordinary snakes. Rather than being a snake, it is better to say——
Snake man!
This snake man has four limbs and his hands are stretched out like a zombie. It looks extremely weird.
After getting off Wang Jinpeng, everyone's flashlights were pointed at the snake-man statue.
Huang Hao suddenly noticed something with his sharp eyes. He stared at the snake man, stretched out his hand and said tremblingly: "Is there something moving in its eyes?"
Lin Ran's heart tightened and he looked along its fingers.
A tingling scene appeared.
A small black snake emerged from the snake man's eyes.
The little snake seemed to be frightened and quickly climbed down around its body.
There was more than one little snake, one after another, densely packed black snakes emerged from it.
"Everyone, come here quickly! Pick up your weapons!" Liu Jingfeng was the first to react. It seemed that they had stabbed the snake's nest.
There are more and more snakes on the ground, on the statues, and even snakes crawling onto the python totem.
There are so many of them that they even spit out letters.
Once they attack, it will be difficult for them to resist!
Due to the quiet environment, you can even hear the sound of the little black snake spitting out snake messages, which makes your scalp tingle!
"Brother Lin, what's going on?" A group of people formed a circle to guard against the snake's sudden attack.
Wang Jinpeng held the engineering shovel and cursed: "We are not afraid of rice dumplings, but we are also afraid of snakes!"
"Torch." Lin Ran looked at the snake and did not attack directly. The attacks of cold-blooded animals were random. Being in a stalemate with them meant that the intention of the attack was not obvious.
Liu Jingfeng also suddenly remembered that they only had the last torch left.
But without saying much, he immediately lit the torch.
The cold-blooded animals felt the warmth of the fire and moved away from everyone.
"What should I do now?"
Everyone was very nervous. According to Huang Hao, there was a dead end ahead!
They are trapped in a cave.
Do you want to go back?
"Let's go take a look near the snake-man stone sculpture."
Although I know it is a snake's nest, now it may be the key to solving the problem.
With everyone's agreement, they slowly approached the statue.
But at this moment, just as he was about to approach the statue, a crisp sound came from behind, scaring everyone.
Quickly turn around and shine the flashlight.
I saw a two-meter-long black snake falling from above, but after falling, it immediately raised its head, spit out the letter, and looked at everyone with a fierce look.
This is not a statue, but a living snake!
A Ming, who was at the back, looked as pale as a sheet.
Yelled: "Fuck!"
Then he ran forward lifelessly and hid behind Wang Jinpeng.
"Point the torch at it." This black snake was different from other black snakes. It obviously had the intention of attacking.
Wang Jinpeng suddenly raised the torch and pointed it at it, and the black snake's movement to pounce suddenly stopped.
But it still kept shaking its head in place, and made gestures about pounce from time to time.
But he was afraid of the temperature of the fire, which made him behave a little funny in the same place.
"This one should be a female snake." Lin Ran said, "The other snakes were hatched by it. In order to protect the young snakes, it became aggressive."
But this was his first time seeing such a big snake.
The head of the black snake is triangular, with obvious characteristics of a venomous snake.
Being able to grow so big is definitely extremely dangerous.
They retreated slowly, feeling that this was an extremely risky thing to do.
Lin Ran didn't expect such a dangerous mechanism. The tower was more terrifying than he imagined.
Not only are there grave-guarding insects, but there are also thousand-year-old vipers?
"Brother Lin, we can't hold on for long."
Approaching the snake-man statue, Lin Ran didn't waste a moment, holding a flashlight and groping around him with gloves on.
"Found it." Lin Ran saw the snake man's bulging eyes and pressed them down hard.
crunch.
The secret door in the distance was slowly pulled up.
"Run!" Without Lin Ran's prompting, everyone turned and ran towards the secret door, not caring about what mechanism was inside.
After running into the secret door, there was another downward passage.
Wang Jinpeng blocked the door with a torch. The torch was almost extinguished. Due to the thin air and reduced fuel, the fire became weak.
Fortunately, the black snake did not catch up.
Now they are standing in the stairs behind the secret door.
Turning around, he saw the black snake five meters away from the secret door, raising its head and spitting out the snake letter, then crawled away.
Other little snakes followed behind, not knowing where they were going.
Leaving their territory and having no intention of harming its young, the black snake finally gave up the pursuit.
Although it was only a short run, being chased by a giant snake was full of adrenaline.
Now everyone is gasping for air.
"I have been to so many tombs, but this is the first time I have encountered such danger." Liu Jingfeng leaned against the wall of the stairs and said with lingering fear.
We have now reached the sixth floor, only halfway through.
Lin Ran was also sweating. The nine-story demon tower is indeed not simple!
Not only are there many mechanisms, but there are also creatures such as tomb-guarding insects and poisonous snakes. It can be seen that there is a complete ecological chain in the mausoleum!
