The snake spit out fishy pus, forcing me to take a few steps back.
"Fat man, get out of the way!"
I grabbed Cui Hao, pulled him behind me, and pushed him to Wang Wangyang's side.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
I grabbed the four of them, turned around and rushed back.
The long snake behind him made a squeaking sound like a snake, and its body twisted on the rock wall and glided rapidly.
"Where did this damn thing come from?"
Cui Hao patted his chest, panting heavily with lingering fear.
"Master Xiaoman, you saved my life. If it hadn't been for you, I might have died in Shekou right now."
At this time, Cui Hao still has the heart to joke.
The smelly smell kept coming out. When I turned around, I saw that the snake's head was already less than half a meter away from us.
The long snake tongue was almost licking our backs.
"You go first, I'll take the lead."
Perhaps because the four civil servants were not alive, the snake turned a blind eye to the four of them and did not attack them at all.
However, the snake's body twisted, and when it glided past them, it would deliberately give way by half a meter. It was obviously aware of the four of them, and it was deliberately dodging.
Qin Nu also said that their duty is to ensure my safety. As for the safety of Cui Hao and the others, they will not care.
I just happened to stay, but I didn’t believe that the four of them would not come to my aid when I was fighting with a snake and faced life-threatening danger.
Cui Hao exchanged looks with me and understood what I meant.
He nodded and pulled Wang Wangyang and Zhang Xu over.
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Xiao Man said? Come with me quickly and don't delay things!"
While they were talking, they rushed forward more than ten meters, leaving me alone to deal with this giant python.
The long snake glided in front of me, its huge pair of sad green lantern-like eyes locked onto me, and the snake's mouth full of sharp teeth faced me and bit me.
I raised Shang Fang's sword and prepared to fight to the death.
And at this moment, I seemed to hear a gentle sigh coming from my ears.
The pain didn't come for a long time.
I looked up and saw the long snake stopped in front of me, its sharp teeth only less than half a meter away from my neck.
The snake head took a few steps back, moved away from me, and after giving me a deep look, suddenly turned around and hid back into the dark passage ahead.
"What the hell is going on?"
I looked at the twisting back of this long snake and couldn't figure out why he suddenly stopped.
"Did you four help me stop this snake?"
I looked like the four great civil servants standing not far away with calm expressions.
Li Zhuang walked up to me calmly, grabbed my arm with a smile, and pulled me a few steps towards him.
"My King, what are you afraid of? With your body and the protection of Shang Fang's sword, none of these things dare to attack you. In fact, you don't have to run at all. Even if this snake lends him hundreds of courage, it won't Dare to attack you."
I took a breath and stared at Li Zhuang with a frown.
"But this snake almost bit us to death just now. According to you, is it possible that he attacked Cui Hao and the others, and the target doesn't matter, right?"
Li Zhuang shrugged and nodded affirmatively.
"Of course. Look, the four of them are gone and you are the only one left. Wouldn't this snake be quiet?"
This is so.
But according to this, instead of taking the four of them and taking the risk of rushing into the cave, it would be better for me to take the four civil servants and explore alone.
This is actually safer.
While I was thinking, I heard footsteps behind me.
Cui Hao stretched out his arm from the corner. After touching it, he raised his eyes and glanced secretly at us.
Seeing that the snake had disappeared, Cui Hao breathed a sigh of relief and then jumped out from his hiding place.
"Master Xiao Man, is that thing gone?"
I definitely nodded and called them out.
"Fat man, take them away later and wait for me near the exit. I'll continue to explore and see what else is ahead."
Of course Cui Hao did not agree with my solo adventure, and he immediately rejected my proposal.
"You don't want your life? I will promise you!"
I can only repeat what the four civil servants just said.
I know Cui Hao is worried about me and won't let me go in alone, but now we have no choice. Only in this way can we reduce casualties as much as possible.
After hearing my explanation, a strange color flashed in Cui Hao's eyes.
"Let me go, do you still have this function? To ward off evil spirits?"
This guy grabbed my arm up and down and looked around.
"If it works so well, I will print out a few photos of you when I get back and offer them as tributes with the incense burner. You can also protect me from evil spirits."
I lifted up Cui Hao's butt and kicked him, and cursed with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and take them out quickly. Don't worry, there are four civil servants following me. They won't let me die here. I will get out safely."
Just a joke.
Cui Hao also knew the seriousness of the matter.
He didn't stay too long, he just nodded and immediately waved to Wang Wangyang and the others.
"Let's go, let's not cause trouble to Mr. Man. Let's go to the exit and wait."
After saying that, the four of them supported each other and limped toward the exit.
As long as the four of them are safe, I have nothing to worry about.
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the passage ahead.
Presumably besides that snake, there are other dangerous creatures in this dragon pond and tiger den. Even with the protection of the four kings, I have to be careful enough.
I turned on the flashlight and pointed it at the corridor in front. I held Shang Fang's sword tightly with one hand and the dagger with the other. I used the dagger to press the wall and slowly groped forward.
But as soon as I walked a hundred meters forward, I suddenly discovered that two red lanterns were lighting up in front of me.
In other words, it is very similar to the eyes of the two green snake heads just now, but it is a pity that the color has changed to red.
"Is it that long snake again?"
I wasn't sure if this thing was hiding in secret again. I didn't dare to carelessly and after holding the dagger tightly, I moved forward as carefully as possible.
Two red lanterns are getting closer.
Finally, I was only a few meters away from the pair of red lanterns. With the help of the flashlight, I could see that these were indeed a pair of huge eyes.
It's just that the red eyes don't belong to the long snake, but instead belong to the head of a huge turtle.
"Xuangui? Is this Xuanwu?"
Black Turtle sprayed his breath, and streaks of white smoke drifted into the air along his nasal cavity.
When Xuangui opened his mouth, I could even see bright red blood mixed with shreds of flesh between his teeth.
My heart sank.
"I just met that long snake, and I didn't see any blood or traces of blood in his mouth. Could it be that it wasn't the long snake that killed the three people in front of me, but the black turtle?"
If this thing is offensive, then I must be careful enough to avoid being hurt by this thing.
I raised the flashlight and looked for it along the gap between the black turtle and the wall.
There is a cave behind it, and a quite large space. I don’t know what is in it.
In short, if this turtle doesn't get out of the way and is blocked in the middle of this corridor, then I won't be able to completely activate all the mechanisms here.
Naturally, the main door cannot be opened.
"life and prosperity are ruled by fate."
Anyway, now that we are here, I will never give up.
I picked up Shang Fang's sword and cautiously took a step forward, ready to test the strength of this black turtle.
But what I missed was.
As I moved forward, a hint of fear seemed to flash in the black turtle's scarlet eyes.
As soon as I took a step forward, the black turtle took half a step back with a bang.
The body of this thing is huge, and the corridor is relatively narrow.
He retreated and rubbed his body against the stone wall of the corridor. The corridor shook with the collision, and stone debris kept pouring down from the top of his head.
Queen Xuanguicang retreated, and a long snake head even appeared vaguely on his turtle's back.
A pair of red eyes and green eyes complemented each other, and they instantly retreated into the depths of the corridor and disappeared completely.
This black turtle actually quickly retreated to make way for me after I moved forward.
I carefully held Shang Fang's sword and moved slowly towards the corner. I was afraid that this thing would be crouching around the corner, ready to launch a sneak attack on me.
Seeing my cautious look, Li Zhuang came to me with a smile and put his arm on my shoulders.
"What are you afraid of? This thing won't attack you. Don't worry and go forward. If he really dares to attack you, then don't even want his turtle shell!"
While he was talking, Li Zhuang had already pushed me and turned the corner in front.
After passing the corner, I immediately saw the black turtle squatting in the corner.
After passing the corridor, the space here is relatively wide. The black turtle huddled in the corner next to it, and took half a step back in fear when I approached.
Only then did I see that behind the black turtle's shell, its tail extended outwards, with sparkling scales attached to it.
And at the very end is the vicious snake head that attacked us before.
It turned out that the two were connected and became one. Although the black turtle looked extremely quiet, squatting in the corner and motionless.
But I was still worried that this thing would sneak up on him, so I passed by him cautiously, trying not to touch the Black Turtle's body as much as possible.
But it seemed that I was overthinking it. The black turtle seemed to be extremely afraid of me. It kept backing away when I passed by, and even pushed it to the edge and squeezed into the corner.
I took a breath and finally felt relieved.
I cautiously passed by him and reached the depths of the tomb.
Finally, there is no secret passage with mechanisms.
The space here is similar to a playground, a huge space with piles of turtle shells piled in the corner.
"What's this?"
Where the tortoise shell is, there are several luminous pearls surrounding it. Under its light, you can clearly see that there are some things carved on the tortoise shell, which look like words!
