With a fluke, Angel stood in place and watched the giant python walk away. But soon, his luck was shattered. The giant python swam for a while and then turned to look at him. Although he didn't say anything, his indifferent eyes seemed to have said a thousand words.
"Okay, you lead the way, I'll go with you." Angel sighed, he was unlucky enough, thinking that "Wan Yu Xinxing" should protect himself, but he actually met a wizard-level monster! Is this a prophecy
"Toby, why don't you go first and go out and help me find the way?" Angel wanted Toby to leave alone, but Toby didn't say anything and sat back on the top of the high hat and didn't move.
The python's moving direction is also along the water flow. Of course, Angel doesn't really think that a monster will have goodwill towards him, so he didn't put away Wanyu Nova along the way, and his eyes kept spinning, thinking. The way to break the game.
But the underground water is too wide, and it is dark and dark, it is easy to get lost. Even if he had the Lighting Technique, it wouldn't be able to illuminate very far. He didn't even know if the waterway was a cliff or a hollow.
After swimming for a few more minutes, Angel now began to wonder, is this waterway really the way the villagers left
In the black water passage in front, hold your breath and swim faster, and ordinary people can come here. But this waterway, or this subterranean watershed, can really leave from here according to the ability of ordinary people
But if it's not here, why are there corpses along the way? It was said that this giant python was killed, Angel did not believe it. Not to mention whether this giant python existed a thousand years ago, if it was really killed by the python, at least the bones could not be preserved so well.
Anger's doubts came out one by one, and before he could fully think about it, the giant python suddenly went upstream.
Angel had no choice but to float up.
Soon, Angel rose to the surface of the water. With the light technique, Angel found that there was not much space above the water surface, like an upside-down bowl, with a diameter of up to ten meters.
However, this "upside down bowl" has a hole, and who knows what the blackness is inside the hole. After the huge head of the giant python floated on the water, it had been lurking silently, without any movement.
Angel was only four or five meters away from him at this time, and he could feel the hugeness of this snake even more.
The python never came ashore, and just stared at Angel with pale golden vertical pupils, the urging in his eyes was obvious.
Angel was also a little overwhelmed, and continued to go down to the diving area to find the exit. This was a bit unrealistic. He couldn't escape the python at all, and the exit was also a question mark. But just going to a dark hole like this, and it is likely to be the nest of a giant python, he felt even more dangerous.
"What do you want me to do?" Angel asked.
The python was speechless, and his pupils kept staring at Angel.
Angel changed his expression and communicated with the python directly with his emotions. But the python still did not move, and his eyes were cold and dreadful.
Angel's eyes were still rolling, wondering if there were any other items in the bracelet that could clear the siege. He even thought about asking Toby to sprint with him for a while, and then turning on Boundless Silence to hide on one side, but the water was too flowing. It's easy to reveal his position. The boundless and silent invisibility is not about escaping into the void. As long as the water flows through his position, it will be exposed.
Angel thought for a while, and then climbed ashore. If you want to hide in boundless silence, you must not be underwater.
After he landed, the giant python also slowly climbed up, and that huge body was exposed to the air for the first time. The python swayed and followed Angel into the cave. Along the way, Angel saw the water droplets rolling down from its black scales and dripping into the ground, the moisture of the ground.
Seeing this, Angel was even more certain that the wet traces on the ground in the cave were created by the giant python.
In other words, this python has been watching them in the dark? In the end, the channel at the bottom of the lake was opened to lure them to go
The behavior of the pythons is too strange. If you really want to deal with them, why not at the bottom of the lake? Or is it that the bottom of the lake is too cramped to stretch out? But that doesn't make sense either.
Angel decided to stay calm for the time being and follow it to the end to see what it wants to do
…
The cave is getting wider and wider, and when you go to the back, it is wide enough for hundreds of giant pythons to live here without fear of being crowded.
Angel is happy to see such terrain. Once he really decides to escape, the wider it is, the more silent it can be.
As he went deeper, Angel found that there were illuminating plants here, but they were different from the plants in the inner world that grew at the top and absorbed the light of the sun and the moon. These plants looked like dandelions, but they were fluffy and round. The group is able to emit a lustrous green light.
From a distance, it looks like a group of green fireflies.
Although the fluorescent light is not big, it cannot resist the light and many plants. So when we got to the latter part of the road, just relying on the fluorescent dandelion, this huge underground cave was very bright.
Soon, they reached their destination, and although there seemed to be a road ahead, the python did not go any further.
Angel looked deeper into the passage, guessing if the end would be the passage to leave
But now is not the time to explore, he wants to know what the python is going to do.
As the python entered another passage, this passage was a real closed passage. Although it was very spacious inside, he could see the end at a glance with the light of the fluorescent dandelion. -This is probably the python's lair, right
The python slowly moved to a pothole,
Angel also came over, stood in front of the pothole, and looked down.
There was nothing to be seen in the dark area. Angel speculated that this might be the python's lair.
At this time, the python slowly took a fluorescent dandelion and threw it into the pothole.
The shining dandelion swirled and fell slowly. As the fluorescent light shone, Angel's eyes suddenly widened! This pit is not the habitat of the giant python he imagined, because under the reflection of fluorescent light, the bottom of the pit is actually full of bones!
The fluorescent light can only illuminate a corner, but according to the density of the bones at the bottom of the pit, one can imagine how many bones are at the bottom of the entire pit? !
At least hundreds, even thousands!
When Angel was shocked, he also noticed one thing: the skeletons at the bottom of the pit were also complete, and most of the skeletons had... medical kits around them.
The familiar medical box made Angel immediately confirm that these skeletons should be the villagers of the barren village.
Could it be that the villagers he thought escaped from the deserted village were actually here
None of them escaped, they all died here
who killed them? Is it a boa constrictor? The answer should be no. With the size of a boa constrictor, crushing them would be an easy task, but the bones here are extremely complete.
Angel turned to look at the giant python beside him. He faintly saw sadness in the golden vertical pupils of the python.
sad? Do pythons mourn for humans
Could it be that there is any special connection between this giant python and these bones
"... special connection?" Angel suddenly remembered something. He took out the medical box from the bracelet that had first been found at the bottom of the lake, and took out a medicine bottle from it. A strange mark is carved on the outside of the medicine bottle, which is a snake with black scales wrapped around a long silver-white annular cone.
Looking at this mark, Angel looked at the black giant python next to him.
"This snake, shouldn't it be you?" Angel asked in a low voice, looking at the continuous mourning python.
The giant python turned his head and glanced at it, lowered his head slightly and did not speak, but slid down the wall of the pit.
Although the python remained silent, it did not deny Angel's questioning. And judging from its performance, perhaps this giant python is really the snake on the mark.
Use a real snake as the representation in the badge. Angel squinted, he thought of some evil religions.
But as a doctor, on the day he was sworn in, he was doomed to go against the evil. Since doctors choose to use snakes as markers, does it mean that there is a story behind this snake? Or, does this snake actually represent a spiritual belief
When Angel was guessing, the giant python slowly climbed up again, but this time it brought something.
Angel had seen it before, and the python seemed to be looking for something in the pile of bones. Now that it has been found, it has been brought up.
When Angel saw what the python brought, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It turned out to be a coffin? !
This is a coffin made of black oil wood. This oil wood is extremely rare. It will not rot for ten thousand years in a humid environment. It is often used to make coffins in the mundane world. In the wizarding world, it can also be regarded as a low-level magic plant, the best substitute for making rotating shafts in mechanical alchemy.
The body of the coffin is black and the lid is pure white. On the lid of the coffin is also engraved a mark of "snake wrapped around a long cone".
After the giant python brought the coffin up, it gently pushed its head against Angel.
After the python had done all of this, it looked at Angel quietly, with an imperceptible pleading in the vertical pupils of what should have been a cold-blooded creature.
"You brought me here because you want me to help you bury this coffin?" Angel asked suspiciously, looking at the coffin at his feet.
As Angel asked, he gently placed his hand on the coffin.
Just as Angel's hand touched the coffin, a strange change appeared—
The coffin suddenly vibrated violently, swaying from side to side, and the lid of the coffin jumped, as if something inside was unwillingly drilling out.
"Corpse?" Angel retracted his hand, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
After the corpse dies, if the soul does not leave, through special means, the corpse can exist in the form of a "corpse ghost". If the soul leaves the body, there is also a chance of forming a "walking corpse".
Whether it is a walking corpse or a ghoul, they are all very low-level monsters, and wizards generally disdain refining them. Rather than tinkering with dead bodies, wizards prefer to make living people into puppets. For example, Bogula, the famous "Magic Puppet Master" in the Southern Regions, likes to refine beauty puppets, and all of them are refined by **.
After Angel said the word "corpse transformation", he frowned again: "That's not right, if it is a corpse transformation, the corpse must at least remain roughly intact. After a thousand years of death, shouldn't it be a dead soul skeleton inside? "
