When I regained my footing, my Heaven-defying Sword was more than one meter long emerging from the top of the python's head. The python, which had been going crazy just before death, fell to the ground, and blood with a fishy smell also flowed from the snake's mouth. It spurted out.
"Pull out my knife!" After I shouted to the old knife team, I stepped on the snake corpse that was no longer twitching and rushed behind the stone slab.
There was only a corridor behind the stone slab that was large enough for the python to turn around. A little further forward from where the python broke through the stone slab was a circular underground cave. The sound of someone speaking seemed to be faintly heard from below the hole.
"Don't follow me!" I shouted to the people behind me, jumped into the hole, and slid down the slide-like hole five or six meters away. Suddenly, I felt that my feet were empty and I fell out of the air. Go down.
Before I even landed, I saw more than a dozen detectives and the Seven Stars Adventure Group pointing guns at me.
When Li Sha saw it was me, she immediately turned around, pointed the gun at the Detective Hand, and pulled the trigger. The gunfire snake swept out. The Detective Hand in the front turned over and fell to the ground, but I took the opportunity to turn over in the air. Falling into the distance.
"Don't shoot!"
"Don't shoot!"
"Don't shoot!"
The first "Don't shoot" came from Li Sesu's voice, the second came from my mouth, and the third shout came from the top of my head, but the person who made the sound was Ling'er.
The Seven Star Adventure Group stopped in time, and the Detective Hand was also forcibly suppressed by Li Sesu.
Although both sides had temporarily stopped, the atmosphere in the cave was still tense. Both groups of people were glaring at each other, refusing to give in at all.
Before I could clearly see the scene in the cave, Ye Xun and the others jumped out of the cave one after another.
What a worry!
I was so angry that I was dizzy, but I couldn't open my mouth to scold anyone who dared to jump from the top. I'm here to live and die with you, so how could I open my mouth to scold you.
Li Sha saw Ling'er and quickly lowered her head: "I'm sorry, leader."
Ling'er gave the other party a cold look without saying a word, took a step back, and gave up my position.
I was not in the mood to care about Li Sha at this time, so I threw the wood on the roof of the shed.
There are four underground caves on the ceiling that lead to the ground. Except for the entrance of the cave I just slid down, the other three have a long or short length of the python's body protruding out.
Fortunately, the other three giant pythons seemed to be drunk. They just hung limply in the air, neither attacking the target nor moving their bodies. They did not show the ferocity of the black python just now.
When I looked at Li Sesu, I realized that they were lighting a brazier over there, and blue smoke was slowly rising in the pot. The three pythons must have become so tame because of the smoke.
Before I could open my mouth, I heard the sound of a mechanism closing above my head.
"Oops!" The hole we slid in was indeed blocked by a mechanism.
I took a deep breath and said, "Li Sha, how did you get in?"
Li Sha whispered: "I don't know either! After we came in, we were attacked by a python. I fired while retreating, and ran here in a daze."
"They've been bewitched!" Li Sesu was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he deliberately walked a few steps forward: "According to legend, demonic snakes can charm people and make people walk into their mouths. The ability of fox demons to confuse people is called The art of charming, the snake demon is called the art of bewitchment.”
I have seen relevant records of the bewitching techniques that Li Sesu mentioned in the "Book of All Things". The bewitching techniques of snake demons can be roughly divided into two types. One is to create phantoms that people actively approach, such as gold and silver, such as Beauty. The other is to make people lose consciousness and walk into the snake's mouth without consciousness.
There are many legends related to magic, and the "Wanxiang Jing" even cites several examples.
However, enchantment is not unique to snake demons; dragons also have similar abilities.
"Magic?" I pondered and looked back at the cave we were in. Soon after, my eyes fell on the feet of one of the detectives.
When the other party saw me looking at him, he couldn't help but take a step back: "What are you going to do?"
"I'll lend you the place you're standing on!" I strode towards him as I spoke.
However, the detective hands opposite me raised their weapons at this time. Just as the seven-star group behind me was about to take action, Li Sesu roared: "That's enough. It's been so long and we're still fighting. Wait until you get out. I will arrange a place for you to have a good fight."
Detective Hand put down his weapon with a livid expression, stepped back a few steps to make room for me. I tapped the ground with my dagger a few times, and then used the tip of the knife to lift up a rock. Only a few drops below had not completely evaporated. blue liquid.
I just sniffed at the edge of the liquid, and my vision became blurry. When I reacted, what I saw was Li Sese's stretched out palm. She must have used some kind of medicine to bring me back to consciousness. However, before I could see what was in her hand, she put it back into her cuff.
When I looked into the pit on the ground again, the liquid there had disappeared: "What is that?"
Li Sese said: "It may be the venom of the snake demon, or it may be some kind of medicine. The effect is probably the same as the snake demon's enchantment."
I said solemnly: "I need to think about something, don't disturb me for now!"
Li Sese nodded and said: "You have to hurry up, I don't have much snake grass left."
The snake grass that Lisese mentioned was probably something burning in the brazier. The fragrance emitted by that thing can make the poisonous snakes fall silent in a short period of time. Once the snake grass is exhausted, the three giant pythons will wake up one after another.
I said I wanted to think about something, but actually I was looking at the dark flowers on the wall.
The four walls of this cave seem to be nothing at first glance. In fact, what looks like water stains are actually primitive murals. However, it is difficult for people who have not practiced eye skills to see the mystery.
The contents of the four consecutive murals are extremely simple. The first painting shows a huge turtle, stretching its neck and struggling outwards, as if it is trying to break free of its tortoise shell and break out of its shell.
In the second painting, a snake-like thing has emerged from the turtle shell. It should be a snake.
The third painting is exactly the same as the pattern on the Narcissus Temple tripod, which is a snake with its head stuck into the water.
But I can't understand the last picture. According to common sense, it should continue to describe the process of the giant turtle turning into a snake, or something related to it, but the fourth picture only draws a circle. In other words, it is a circular black mark.
Could it be that the fourth painting was erased by Wang Zhi
I always feel that the fourth painting is the key to the matter, but I can't understand the meaning of the painting.
When I was puzzled, I heard the voices of Li Sesu and others, and a detective said: "Team leader, we are running out of snake catching grass, what should we do?"
Before Li Sese could speak, Ling'er had already walked over to negotiate with Li Sese. In just a few words, Ling'er got involved with Li Sese. After a while, I heard Li Sese say: "Someone should be raising demons here. It’s a snake’s trough, and it’s hard for us to get out if we get stuck in it.”
Li Sese means that this cave is equivalent to a bottle used by snake farmers to prevent live food from running around. When the food is ready, the snake can put its head into the bottle, take the person out and devour it slowly.
This kind of bottle does not need to open another door, it only allows food to enter through the four openings.
Ling'er whispered: "Aren't you from a snake-catching family? Why did you fall in?"
"To save people!" Li Sesu didn't say who she was trying to save or how she fell into the "bottle", but I guess she jumped down from the tunnel entrance just like me. She kept looking. This is the reason why he is obsessed with the demon snake but does not look for other ways out.
Li Sese turned to Ling'er and asked, "Where did Li Hedgehog go?"
Ling'er whispered: "He was sacrificed and died from the corrosion of the demon snake's gastric juice."
"That's true!" Li Sesu couldn't help but reveal a hint of solemnity in his voice.
Ling'er took advantage of the situation and said, "You know he will die?"
Li Sese said in a low voice: "Wearing sword armor, entering the snake's belly, and disemboweling the snake from the inside out is the unique secret skill of our Li family. Although people wearing sword armor are not afraid of the entanglement of the giant python, they may not be able to escape the monster snake." Erosion from the snake's gastric juices. Once it enters the snake's belly, it is a narrow escape."
Before a python devours its prey, it usually coils around its prey tightly, strangles it alive, and then slowly devours it. If the Li family wants to get into the belly of a snake and eliminate the demon, they must first ensure that they are not killed by the snake. They probably know some kind of skill of pretending to be dead. However, their swords and armor were not perfect. Once the demonic snake's gastric juice invaded their armor, they would end up like Li Hedgehog, turning into white bones with melted flesh and blood.
Ling'er said: "Then have you thought about what to do once the snake grass is exhausted?"
"I've been thinking about it just now!" Li Sese said: "How many demonic snakes can you deal with?"
"This..." Ling'er raised her head and looked at the demon snake hanging in the air: "If you can guarantee that the demon snake will not wake up after being slightly touched, we can kill one of them."
I stood up and said, "I can promise to deal with Ichijou, what do you think?"
Li Sese hesitated and said: "We should be able to win one, you guys go first!"
Ling'er waved her hand gently: the two Seven Stars members stood side by side under the mouth of a well, and the other one jumped up and stepped on their shoulders, waving downwards.
They wanted to use the method of stacking Arhats to get close to the demon snake, and then find a way to kill the opponent.
Just as the fourth team member was about to stand up, Li Sha blocked him back: "I was the one who stabbed Lou Zi out, I'll get in."
Ling'er waved to the other party, and Li Sha stepped on her companion to the top of the human body. At this time, Li Sha's raised face was already less than an inch away from the snake's kiss. The python didn't know whether it was intentionally spitting out the message, but it instantly swept over it. The tip of Lisa's nose.
I also clearly saw her trembling.
