People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 501
The moment they heard the neighing, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou immediately became alert.

These neighing sounds were very messy, but it could be heard from the sound that a large number of snakes were rushing towards them.

Chen Ziyan's first reaction after raising his vigilance was to turn off the searchlight, but he came to his senses in the next second.

Turning off the light source now has only disadvantages and no benefits. First of all, it is the same for creatures that live underground for a long time, whether they have lighting or not, but they will fall into an extremely disadvantageous situation without light.

"Fifth Master, let's retreat back first." After thinking of this, Chen Ziyan pulled Wu Laogou back for a while.

He felt that those snake sounds were most likely from the black-haired snake. After all, this is the only creature most likely to appear in this underground space.

Considering that he had never encountered any creatures when he was up there, Chen Ziyan felt that there might be some mysteries that he didn't know about, so he returned to the slope.

Chen Ziyan did this not only to test, but also to prepare for the actual battle. After all, the slope is limited in width. If there is only a rock wall below, the other three directions may be attacked. But in this On the slope, you only need to face the enemies from the front, and the difficulty is undoubtedly much lower.

Moreover, the width of the slope will also limit the number of enemies. No matter how many black-haired snakes there are, only so many can show up.

"Okay." Old Dog Wu agreed without hesitation, and then ordered his dogs to back off.

He didn't think as much as Chen Ziyan did, but he only knew from experience that now he had to occupy a favorable terrain. Even if Chen Ziyan didn't mention it, he would still advocate retreating.

After the two returned to the slope with the puppet armor and the dog group, they took the searchlight and began to look around, especially the place where the snakes were singing loudly.

They didn't make them wait too long, and soon black-haired snakes appeared in the light.

There are a lot of black-haired snakes, and they move very fast. They are obviously in an active state, which is completely different from the above ones.

But soon Chen Ziyan's attention was diverted, because he unexpectedly found a lot of big players in the swarm of snakes. These big guys have already broken away from the category of snakes. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call them pythons.

This made Chen Ziyan's hand holding the weapon slightly clenched. Compared with ordinary black-haired snakes, these black-haired snakes were more difficult for him to deal with, and now he seriously doubted that there would be bigger guys next.

"Chen Xiaoyou, do you think we can still escape?" Old Dog Wu also saw this black-haired python, and asked with deep meaning.

What he said was obviously asking if Chen Ziyan had any other means of hiding, otherwise it would be very difficult for them to deal with the boundless snake group in front of them just by relying on the things that are exposed now.

As far as the endless posture of rushing at the opponent, he estimated that the number might be more than the snake ball above.

In the face of such a large number of snakes, if there is no backup, then don't think about confrontation, it is better to just run away while there is a distance between them.

If you wait for the snakes to arrive in front of you, it will be too late to run.

"It's a bit tricky. Don't worry, fifth master, it's not difficult to get away." Chen Ziyan replied softly.

With the previous experience, Chen Ziyan is well-prepared for this trip, not to mention his domain device, the ammunition in his portable space alone is enough for a metal storm, not to mention that it can kill the incoming black-haired snake Eliminate them all, but you can definitely open up a buffer space successfully.

"That's good." Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Old Dog Wu was relieved, and immediately began to concentrate on observing the snakes.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, the group of snakes coming from the darkness like a tide did not come in front of them, but stopped at a distance from the exit of the slope.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier there, blocking all those black-haired snakes from the outside.

"This is……"

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan immediately moved the light to look to the side, and saw the same scene in other places under the cliff.

The entire cliff seemed to be completely enclosed in a protective cover, and none of the black-haired snakes could get close.

Looking at those black-haired snakes that kept wandering not far away, but never dared to cross the thunder pond, Old Dog Wu also raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, he thought about this kind of situation, but he didn't count on it. He didn't expect it to really happen now.

"It's the stone carvings of my nephew." Chen Ziyan withdrew his gaze and told his discovery.

With just a glance, he had already found the key point, those stone carvings of nephews that made them feel weird.

The function of these stone carvings was not clear before, but now it seems that they should be to protect the cliff behind them, or more precisely, to protect the residence that the snake worshipers once built on it.

"Chen Xiaoyou, do you think these are really just stone carvings?" But just as Chen Ziyan was thinking, Wu Laogou suddenly said such a sentence.

This forced Chen Ziyan to restrain his thoughts, and looked at the old senior with some doubts.

"Look there."

Wu Laogou motioned Chen Ziyan to look at the beam of the searchlight in his hand.

Chen Ziyan looked towards the position indicated by him. He didn't see anything unusual at first glance, but he was stunned immediately after taking a closer look.

The spot where the light beam fell was a nephew stone carving, but compared to other stone carvings, this stone carving looked incomplete, but after a closer look, Chen Ziyan found that it was not appropriate to describe it as incomplete.

Because the appearance of this stone carving is very complete, but there is a gap in one place, like a damaged shell.

If there is only such a strange broken stone sculpture, it will naturally not attract their attention, but if they contact the nephew they met on the ground, things will not be so simple.

"Is this a shell?" Chen Ziyan looked at the broken stone sculpture and said slowly.

He knew that Old Dog Wu would definitely not be aimless. Since he mentioned this on such an occasion, it meant that he thought there was something wrong with the stone carving, so Chen Ziyan naturally thought of it.

If the nephew they killed on the ground got out of this stone carving, it would not be impossible.

"No, fifth master, this doesn't make sense." But then Chen Ziyan shook his head by himself.

According to Lin Qizhong, it was because she rang the bronze bell that her nephew woke up.

But this place is several hundred meters away from the surface, separated by thick rocky soil, so no sound can be transmitted.

Wu Laogou also knew about this, but he didn't think so, but said: "There are many things in this world that can't be explained, just like the fact that my nephew is on the ground, why does it make the black-haired snake in the ground restless?" , isn’t there no reasonable explanation?”

Instead of trying to explain, he found a similar example.

But that was enough, Chen Ziyan nodded understandingly, there was really no way to explain the influence that nephew had on the black-haired snake.

You must know that there is also a place hundreds of meters deep from the ground, but the nephew can affect the black-haired snake sleeping there, which is also something they can't explain.

"Fifth Master, if this is the case, wouldn't it mean..." Chen Ziyan looked at the row of nephew stone carvings in front of him, and said, "There are also nephews in these stone sculptures?"

"Very likely." Old Dog Wu touched his chin, then nodded slightly.

If his guess is true, then it is.

"Try it." After thinking about it, Wu Laogou suggested.

Since the black-haired snakes dare not go forward, it means that they are not in danger for the time being. In this case, you might as well verify your guess.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "That's fine, you can get a little bottom if you try."

No matter what the truth of the matter is, try it once and you will see the result.

After speaking, Chen Ziyan looked around, and finally landed on a stone sculpture of a nephew not far away.

The nephew's stone carving here obviously has a certain pattern, but it can be seen from the damaged stone carving that one or two problems will not affect the overall situation, which is the fundamental reason why Chen Ziyan agreed to try.

The nephew stone sculpture he chose was right in front of him. It was a long time away from them and the damaged stone sculpture. It was the most suitable choice.

Do as soon as you think of it, Chen Ziyan has always been a practical school, so he immediately walked towards the stone sculpture.

After walking around this lifelike nephew stone carving, Chen Ziyan felt that it was better to be cautious, so he used the long stick in his hand to hit the damaged stone carving with more force.

Clang...clang...clam...crack...

With the sound of a crack, Chen Ziyan's waving arm stopped for a moment, and then he saw several cracks appear on the stone carving in front of him, and then spread around the location where the cracks appeared, and soon covered that area. inside.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan struck again, but this time he used very little force, and the moment the long stick in his hand fell, the cracked surface of the stone carving instantly burst.

As the surface of the stone carving was completely broken, a viscous dark gray liquid slowly flowed out from the inside, and fell to the ground along the stone carving.

Along with this unknown liquid, there were also nine nephews with closed eyes, but compared to those nephews that Chen Ziyan and the others saw on the ground, these ones in front of them were extremely withered. It is no exaggeration to be skinny.

When they saw the nephew on the ground, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou couldn't help but looked at each other, and they really guessed it right.

Moreover, Chen Ziyan also found that after the appearance of the nephew inside the stone sculpture, the group of black-haired snakes that were eager to try outside, like a mouse seeing a cat, immediately began to flee to the rear, and the speed was faster than when they came much.

"This is really one thing lowering one thing." Seeing such a scene, Wu Laogou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Such a strong restraint was the only one he had ever seen in his life.

Chen Ziyan didn't pay much attention to the black-haired snake. He directly took out a bundle of climbing ropes and tied the nine nephews who were still awake on the ground tightly.

It stands to reason that he should kill these nephews directly while they are still awake. After all, he cannot successfully control these guys, but the current situation prevents him from doing so.

Although he hadn't practiced it yet, Chen Ziyan could imagine that Nephew Lin's deterrent power against the black-haired snake was stronger than his domain device, and it was simply the best amulet for exploration.

"Just keep one." Wu Laogou couldn't help but said when he saw the nine nephews being rushed together.

He naturally knew the purpose of Chen Ziyan's doing this, but he felt that it was too much of a threat to keep all nine of them, and one could also have the corresponding effect, so there was no need to add unnecessary risks to himself.

Of course, the most important stone carvings are enough.

Not surprisingly, these stone carvings have corresponding configurations inside, so killing a few nephews is completely harmless.

"These guys just came out of the stone sculptures. Looking at their skinny appearance, they probably struggled to move. Being tied up like this, even if they want to be monsters, they don't have the strength." Chen Ziyan said with a smile.

He also understands that the risk of one and nine is different, but he has considered another problem, that is, the person who sealed the nephew into the stone carving at the beginning, didn't he know this truth?

From the style and effect of this stone carving, we can know the specific difficulty of making it. Then why did the snake worshipers do such a thankless thing in the first place?

And no matter which ancient book it is, the nine nephews in it appear together, there must be some reason they still don't know.

Therefore, Chen Ziyan would rather take some risks than create unnecessary situations just to save trouble.

"You just have to be confident."

Seeing this, Old Dog Wu stopped talking. He knew that Chen Ziyan was extraordinary, so there was no need to argue about such a trivial matter.

Then he squatted down, took out an empty water bladder from his backpack, and began to fill the unknown liquid on the ground.

Seeing Wu Laogou's actions, Chen Ziyan blinked, and then took out the container, and began to contain the unknown liquid that was rapidly seeping into the soil.

He just took care of his nephew and almost forgot about this treasure.

This underground space is at least thousands of years old, and the substance that can sustain life for such a long time is fine if it is a natural product, but if it is a product of artificial configuration, it does not need to be completely reproduced, only a little Findings are absolutely priceless.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but glance at Old Dog Wu. As expected of an old Jianghu, this person has a keen sense of smell for treasures!

But then Chen Ziyan thought of one thing, that is, there is not only the stone sculpture in front of him, there are at least dozens of the same stone sculptures around, and this is only what they can see, and they don't know how many they can't see Woolen cloth.

And if there is the same liquid in every stone carving, the value is really incalculable.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but look at Wu Laogou, and it happened that Wu Laogou also thought of this, and their eyes collided in the air.

This value is a bit beyond imagination, at least beyond the expectations of the two, which makes the original alliance a little unstable.

After all... Benefits touch people's hearts!
