I have just roughly estimated the layout of Narcissus Temple. The four pythons entering and exiting the snake feeding cave should be surrounding the central cauldron. The passages they use to enter and exit Narcissus Temple are all in the shape of pipes. If you want to turn around, you can only climb into Narcissus Temple through the secret door, turn around the cauldron, and then crawl through the snake passage through another secret door. The python's habitat must be behind the snake path.
I asked a few old swordsmen to hold the line for me, and I followed the direction of the snake's tail. As expected, there was a passage that zigzagged deep into the seabed. The walls of the passage were extremely smooth, and it was easy for people to get stuck in and out of the passage. Heels, the snake moved forward in the passage with ease. After the passage is a huge semi-natural cave.
After I came out of the snake tunnel, my eyes immediately fell on the wellhead in the middle of the cave: Could it be that there is a cave below the snake cave
While I was in shock and doubt, Ye Xun and the others also slid down one after another. I turned around and asked Li Sesu, "What do you think happened to that well?"
The first thing Li Sesu paid attention to was not the well on the ground, but the snake nest. After a while, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be five snakes in here."
I was suddenly startled. Li Sese pointed to the ground and said: "Look at the traces of snakes on the ground. Snakes can live in groups, but they cannot live in groups. They will not gather together except during hibernation or mating seasons. Especially These giant snakes that have become a climate are all solitary. The giant pythons here can be said to have been gathered together in one place out of necessity. However, they each have their own territory."
I looked in the direction of Li Sese's finger, and judging from the traces left on the ground, it was indeed like this. The snake marks left by the four giant pythons occupied four directions, but left a large area above the ancient well. There should be another snake living there.
I walked around the open space twice before saying, "There is indeed a snake here, but it is too small."
If you look at it from a normal angle, the snake, which is as thick as my arm and about three meters long, is not considered small. But compared with the four giant pythons that can easily swallow people, they seem a bit petite and exquisite.
Li Sesu took a deep breath and said: "Just because a snake is small, it doesn't mean it can't be king. That snake is the guardian beast of Narcissus Temple."
Li Sese pointed to the ancient well and said: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be something that the five snakes want in this well. The person who let the giant pythons in the first place wanted one of them to enter the ancient well."
I stood on the edge of the dark ancient well and looked in for a long time before I said, "Ye Xun, take the rope and put me down."
"I'll go down with you!" Ye Xun didn't worry about me going down the well by myself.
A total of six of us came down this time. Apart from Ye Xun, Li Sesu, me, Ling'er and Lao Dao, Ye Xun followed me down. There would be no masters above who could hold the line, but I wouldn't let him go down. Xun Natan would definitely not agree.
I hesitated for a moment before looking at Ling'er, but the latter gently shook his palm, and a sound of wind and thunder suddenly burst out from his palm.
True Qi turns into thunder! Above the heaven!
Ye Xun and I were all stunned for a moment.
The two of us originally thought that Ling'er's skill could be comparable to Qixing at best, but we didn't expect that her cultivation level was actually higher than the two of us.
It's true if you think about it carefully, if Ling'er didn't have superior strength, the unruly Seven Star Adventure Group would only treat her as their boss instead of calling her their leader.
Only then did I feel relieved to leave Ling'er behind, and I took Ye Xun and Li Sesu and slid into the deep well one after the other.
Ye Xun and I both wore gas masks, but after I dived a few meters, I smelled a faint aroma.
As I was gradually sliding downward, I simply took off the gas mask and threw it aside. Even the gas mask couldn't block the aroma. If it was poisonous, there would be no point in wearing any more masks.
Fortunately, the aroma didn't cause me any discomfort, so I simply threw away the mask and speeded up.
Before I even landed on the ground, I saw a thick line of white bones in the air. They were the bones left by a giant python. Before it died, it did not go through a violent struggle. Instead, it curled up into a ball and huddled under the mouth of the well. Shiya still maintained his original posture. The snake head hanging on one side of his body had fallen to the ground. Judging from the fracture of the bone, it was the python's tibia that could not bear the weight of the snake head, causing it to fall to the ground.
Apart from this, nothing suspicious can be seen in the cave below the ancient well.
I stood on the ground and twitched my nose twice: "Is this scent coming from the snake bones?"
Ye Xun nodded and said: "Indeed! What kind of snake bones have fragrance?"
Ye Xun was talking to me, but his eyes were on Li Sesu. Li Sesu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't know that well either."
When Ye Xun looked at Li Sesu, I pushed away the flashlight and shined it in the direction of the snake bones.
I just took a rough look at the location of the snake's head. According to this position, after sneaking into the ancient well, the giant python squatted directly under the well mouth and aimed its head at the well mouth.
The cave under the ancient well is not that big. Considering the size of the giant python, I don't believe it would squeeze into such a small place for no reason. Moreover, as soon as it entered the ancient well, it took a posture of guarding the territory. It can be seen that the well There are not only things that can attract the giant python, but also things that can make it fight for it with all its life.
That thing had not been eaten by the giant python, so it should still be in the cave.
While Ye Xun and Li Sesu were talking, I had already taken a look around the cave. There was nothing on the ground except a pile of snake bones. The object that attracted the python was probably swallowed by the snake.
The beam in my hand had just swung around the snake's bones twice when I saw something half a foot long hanging from one of the python's ribs, a dark sphere all over its body: "What is that? Is it the snake's heart?"
Although I don't know the snakes as well as the Li family, I also know the general position of the snake's heart.
The entire body of the giant python has been turned into white bones. Why is there only one snake heart that exudes metallic luster? Out of curiosity, I pulled out Mie Tian, stretched it between the two ribs of the giant python, and gently tapped the "snake heart".
What I didn't expect was that two sickle-like insect legs would stick out from the top of the "snake heart".
I was stunned for a moment, and "Snake Heart" shot out six sharp, knife-like feet at the same time.
"Dragon louse?" Li Sesu screamed and reached out to touch the crossbow. When she touched her waist, she remembered that her crossbow arrow had been interrupted by Ye Xun: "Don't be stunned, that's a vicious thing! "
Before Li Sesu finished speaking, he saw the thing spread its wings like a beetle, broke two snake bones, and rushed towards me from the bone gap.
It wasn't until the beetle turned around in the air that I could see its full picture. The thing was exactly the same as the "Shui Lao Turtle" in Xia Tian's ancestral hall, also known as the dragon louse in the south, except that its body shape was enlarged countless times. . What's even more terrifying is that dragon lice can only dive, but the thing in front of me can not only fly, but its claws are as sharp as knives. It can cut off a snake bone as thick as an arm with just one move and jump out from the bone seam. When he came out, his feet danced in turns and slashed towards my head.
At this time, I didn't have time to take back Mie Tian in my hand, and the opponent's attack was extremely strange. It was too late for me to withdraw my sword and defend myself, so I simply let go of my hands and walked backwards. Ye Xun next to me took a step forward. In front of him, the bloody eye in his hand also slashed out. The moment the whistling blade collided with the beetle in the air, Ye Xun's long knife seemed to chop up a ball floating in the water, although the ball was smashed into the water. , but there is no way to make it sink to the bottom. I watched the beetle sink half a foot along the edge of Ye Xun's knife, and then immediately flew back to its original height close to the edge of his knife.
Ye Xun also retracted the long knife at the same time, but Li Sesu screamed: "Wang Huan, be careful!"
Ye Xun and I both thought that after the beetle suffered a heavy blow, it would definitely change its target and attack Ye Xun, so Ye Xun immediately withdrew his sword and returned to defense. I also gave up defense and moved towards Ye Xun, preparing to attack him again. beetle.
What none of us expected was that after the beetle was hit by Ye Xun's knife, it didn't change its target and flew straight in my direction. I tried to avoid it but it was already a step too late and I could only cross my arms. I moved forward to block the opponent. The moment my hands collided with the dragon louse, I felt a sharp pain in my forearm.
The two front pincers of the dragon louse were like two daggers that instantly penetrated my sleeve, pierced my forearm, and came out two inches from the inside of my arm.
By the time I saw the two bloody front claws, the dragon louse's forelimbs had already begun to shrink backwards. I felt as if a knife had stuck my bones. The blade was still penetrating into my bones inch by inch, and violent and severe pain hit me instantly. , but my heart felt cold.
My hands are useless!
Even if the dragon louse couldn't chop off my arms at once, it could at least cut off my bones. It was impossible to save these hands.
Just when my heart felt extremely cold, Ye Xun's Sui Feng slash followed closely and swept past the joints of the dragon louse's forelimbs, cutting off both of the dragon louse's front legs. The dragon louse retreated more than a foot away while screaming, but I fell on my back and fell to the ground.
The seriously injured dragon louse only paused in the air before falling down on me again. Although its pair of forelimbs were still hanging on my hands, the remaining four legs were still as sharp as knives. It was full of murderous intent, and once the dragon louse attacked me, its limbs would immediately penetrate both sides of my head.
The moment the dragon louse pounced, Ye Xun roared out his knife and rushed towards me quickly, and my Xingtian Slash also burst out in an instant, hitting the dragon louse's lower abdomen from bottom to top. The huge dragon louse was chopped several feet into the air by Xing Tian, and the yellow water in its belly flew all over the sky. Ye Xun's long knife followed, splitting the opponent two meters open with one blow.
While the dragon louse was still rolling in the air, Ye Xun had already stabbed him straight with his knife again. The three-foot-long knife instantly penetrated the wound on the dragon louse's belly and pinned him to the wall.
