After walking around for half an hour, the group came out of the cave, and the original stone bridge appeared in front of them again, standing straight over the abyss.
Chen Si was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, there were no forks in the cave just now, and there was only one entrance here. It was impossible to walk back. Could it be that he had encountered a ghost breaking the wall?
Zhang Chunmin continued to walk forward, and the other three followed silently, just staring at Zhang Chunmin's back.
Chen Si felt that everyone's condition was getting worse and worse, and his heart felt cold, but he did not dare to go back so unclearly, so he found Gao Liyao, who was still normal, and said softly:
"Aren't we walking back? How dare you follow Captain Zhang? Didn't you say you were sending a signal? You haven't even farted for a long time!"
Gao Liyao smiled contemptuously, "Maybe it's not that we walked back, but there are two bridges?"
The exploration light was turned upwards, and another stone bridge was seen hanging straight above the head dozens of meters above the ground.
Chen Si suddenly realized, "It looks like we are still going down."
Gao Liyao was too lazy to say anything more and walked away without saying, "Wait for my signal."
This section of the bridge was walked for another hour. During this period, Chen Si looked back frequently. He kept feeling that there was some squirming sound behind him, and it became increasingly clear.
But every time I turned my head, the sound disappeared, and no other figure was seen.
"It's strange. Could it be a hallucination?"
There was another tingling sensation under my feet.
He looked at the bite mark and saw that the purple blood had gradually spread along the blood vessels and covered half of his calf like a spider web. He didn't know how long it could last.
Zhang Chunmin must be eliminated before it spreads throughout the body before he can go back for treatment...
Another stone cave appeared in front, also sloping downward.
Zhang Chunmin did not hesitate and continued to move forward.
And half an hour later, the exact same stone bridge appeared in front of everyone again.
The entire cave seems to have a downward-level structure.
In this way, most of the day passed, and everyone passed five or six such stone bridges in succession.
Chen Si didn't know if this road had an end. Maybe it would really lead to the center of the earth?
His condition was getting worse and worse. The poison had spread to his thighs. His mind was dizzy, his chest was heavy, and he couldn't breathe.
The murmurs in his ears became more and more frequent, as if they were about to engulf him.
But these words seem to be getting clearer and clearer...
"Captain Zhang, I don't think I can survive. That snake is really poisonous and I can't walk." Chen Si pleaded, hoping that the other party would let him go back for treatment. If he continued, he would be dead.
Zhang Chunmin squatted down, picked up Chen Si's pants, looked at it carefully, and said coldly: "Don't worry, it's a non-venomous snake. Don't scare yourself. You still have to keep walking."
Chen Si gritted his teeth with hatred.
This Chunmin is really vicious! If you want to die, you have to hold a few of us behind. Don't blame me for adding insult to injury when Gao Liyao and the others try to trick you later!
Helpless, Chen Si had no choice but to drag his legs and limp and continue walking, but after taking two steps, he stopped again.
"There's something behind us."
This time the sound was clear, as if the thing was close to his scalp.
Everyone turned around and stared at him.
Zhang Chunmin's eyes were already a little unkind, and he said in a deep voice: "Si Chen, I'm warning you, don't try any more tricks..."
But he stopped mid-sentence, and the expression on his face gradually changed from impatience to shock, and then to horror.
The others did the same, keeping a vigilant posture and cautiously stepping back.
Chen Si's scalp felt numb and his legs felt like lead.
He slowly turned his head and saw a pure white strange creature three meters in diameter and seventy or eighty meters long, looking at him carefully ten centimeters away.
It stuck out its long tongue and licked Chen Si's face.
A sticky and warm touch came, Chen Si shuddered, and finally reacted, a dog eating shit hurriedly rushed forward.
At the same time, the creature opened its big mouth full of fangs like a suction cup, and just happened to bite where Chen Sigang was standing.
Seeing this scene, Chen Si remembered that this guy looked like a little snake in the pond, but his size was a bit too big, so he was probably from his ancestors!
"What are you doing standing still? Run!"
Zhang Chunmin screamed, waking up the stunned Chen Si, and rolled and rushed to the other side of the bridge. He completely ignored the bites on his legs. Being poisoned to death would be better than being eaten now!
"Damn it, what the hell is this? I've never seen such a big snake in my life in the village! If I had known this was a deadly business, I wouldn't have accepted your business even if I were killed! You're going to kill me!"
Wang Er ran wildly and cursed.
The big snake chewed twice and found that Chen Si's body was not in his mouth. He immediately turned around and rushed towards everyone. The speed was extremely fast, and he closed the distance with everyone in just a few breaths.
Ma Yan is a female and nearly middle-aged. Her physical strength is not as good as others. After running for a while, she fell down two places.
The big snake twisted its body and crawled closer and closer along the stone bridge. She was cruel and threw away all the food and water left in her backpack. She lightened her body and finally caught up with everyone.
"That's not a snake. How can a snake look like this?" she gasped.
Chen Si turned around and took a look and found that the snake looked really weird.
Due to living in the cave all year round, the eyes on its head have completely degenerated and disappeared, but there are still dense scales stacked on top of each other in the eye sockets, with a small protrusion outward, which is extremely disgusting.
There are two deformed feet of 20 to 30 centimeters each on the lower part of the body and on the back. Compared with the huge body, it is completely out of proportion. It is as funny as a chicken's claw stuck in an elephant's body.
The snake moves entirely by twisting its body, and its legs hang out of the body as if they have no bones, serving no purpose.
Four-legged snake?
As soon as these three words appeared in Chen Si's mind, he immediately shook his head.
At the same time, the name of another creature came to mind.
Two horns and four claws——
"dragon!"
Ma Yan looked at Chen Si in surprise, "Are you crazy? Can you be considered a dragon with this look?"
But she was secretly shocked. If she only looked at the main features, she really looked like a dragon, but it had degenerated into some unknown twisted creature underground.
or......
Isn't it finished transforming yet?
"Now is the time to discuss this!"
Zhang Chunmin said angrily, immediately took out his pistol, turned around and fired two "bang bang" shots at the approaching big snake.
The hard scales blocked the bullet, but still seemed to cause some pain to it, causing it to lag for a moment.
The five people kept running wildly, but the other bank was still several hundred meters away.
Although Wang Er was a trainee, his bag was full of gold. At this moment, he ran slower and slower. He was pulled away by more than ten meters and was about to be overtaken.
Chen Si gasped and shouted: "Are you desperate for your life? Throw away the bag of gold on your back!"
Wang Er shook his head desperately, "I won't throw it away! I won't throw it away even if I die! This is my gold, it's all mine!"
Chen Si had nothing to say to someone who wanted money rather than his life, so he turned around and ran away.
The big snake also caught up at this moment, aiming at Wang Er and biting him.
But this king was really capable. He was supposed to be in a certain death situation, but his body bounced out with an extremely difficult movement and he actually escaped.
He just wanted to continue running for his life, but his body could no longer move, and he was stuck in place.
Wang Er looked down with doubtful eyes, only to see that the entire right leg was empty, with thick blood dripping from the root of the thigh, and a layer of skin that had not been torn off was still hanging on it.
He raised his head, looked at everyone with blank and frightened eyes, and said dully: "Please, save me."
