the last priest

Not far away, the female corpse was lying on the ice. A hole the size of an egg had been blasted out on her forehead. There was not a single drop of blood on the ground, and sporadic bits of burst ice scattered on her pretty face. ╔y╗

Chaozi looked at the female corpse and said, "It almost killed us, what should we do with her?"

"Let her go. It's thanks to her that she illuminates the depths of our hearts. Once the soul-eating corpse comes into contact with the air, it will dissipate on its own in a short time. Let's go." Cha Wenbin's footsteps have already sounded On the ice, click, click. . . . . .

When their backs disappeared around a corner, Shi Po also turned into a bone at the same time.

The murals along the way are scattered around, some are simple characters, some are strange beasts and ghosts, and they all have a common characteristic, that is, bright colors and a touch of blood red.

The purpose of this trip was not archeology, and they did not stop too much in front of these masterpieces left over from ancient times. On the way, Zha Wenbin was discussing a problem with Lao Wang: Thousands of years ago when the color was not very developed, Where did they get so much red dye? After deduction and inference, Cha Wenbin uttered the word that big guy didn't want to hear the most: blood!Indeed, in the ancient times when people drank blood, blood was considered to be the spirit of human beings.Only by using the most precious things in your body to worship or offer sacrifices can you reflect your pious belief.

I walked in for more than three miles. I don’t know if this person’s arrogance is high when they are united, or it’s really smooth. They haven’t encountered anything. This is a long way to go. Most of them have already entered. deep in a mountain.

This is supposed to lead to lower temperatures as the distance gets closer to the inside, but Cha Wenbin found that there were no ice blocks on the surrounding walls, let alone ice edges, and the feet were unconsciously replaced by dry mud and sand Shi, his body also gradually began to sweat.

This later evolved into that every step forward, they could feel the temperature gradually rising, and their clothes changed from taking off their coats at the beginning to unlined clothes. With their shirts off, Zha Wenbin and Lao Wang could wring out water from the undershirts.

Cha Wenbin took a few sips of the water bottle that had already melted, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This is too abnormal, there is still a world of ice and snow in front of me, why is it like entering the palace of the Supreme Lord?" Is the stove on?"

Not to mention Lao Wang's body, the fat man is particularly afraid of the heat, he fanned the wind vigorously, just about to lean his back against the stone to rest, when he bounced off with an "Ouch", "Even the stone is hot here , It’s like ice and fire, we’ve come under the volcano.”

Cha Wenbin was stunned for a moment: "Is there a volcano here?"

Lao Wang thought for a while: "This mountain should be a derivative of Changbai Mountain. Changbai Mountain is a volcano. This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The surrounding stone walls are a bit reddish due to the high temperature, and there are no plants around.Along the way, the spring with the singing of birds and flowers, the winter with ice and snow, and the hot and hot summer here, there are three seasons in a short valley less than ten kilometers away. Cha Wenbin said: "Going forward Let's go and see, if the temperature is too high, I think I can only find another opening, but since someone has been active before, it proves that I came to the right place."

At the end, even the shoes on the soles of their feet felt like they were stepping on hot coals. Just when they couldn't hold on immediately, there was a "cuckoo" sound leisurely from a distance.

Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong immediately pulled out their guns to take precautions like a conditioned reflex, and Cha Wenbin also made a movement to stop advancing.Sweat dripped down from his forehead continuously like beads, and at the same time blurred his eyes. Because of the high temperature, the ground surface seemed to be deformed, and it kept trembling because of the ups and downs of the air waves.

Chaozi discovered the situation at the first time. Less than 50 meters away from them, there was a "stick" standing there, and the stick was still shaking from side to side from time to time.

"Look at that!" Following the direction of Chaozi's finger, Old Wang said in shock, "Don't move, it's the red snake lyre bug!"

Sure enough, the "stick" was still spitting out its core from time to time, and its high neck was different from the head of an ordinary snake. Its head was even uglier, and there seemed to be two things standing upright like insect antennae.

Snakes blocking the way have not been auspicious since ancient times, and this strange snake is here to stand against them.Zha Wenbin and the others didn't move, and the snake didn't move either. It just kept groaning, as if issuing a warning.

"What should I do?" Chaozi asked, with his and Zhuo Xiong's skills, there should be [-]% certainty in defeating it from this distance.

"Old Wang, are you sure it's a lyre bug?" Cha Wenbin asked, staring straight ahead.

"When I was young, I conducted an archaeological project at the Loulan ruins in the Gobi Desert. At that time, we discovered a deep underground palace of the royal city and found the entrance. When our team members reached the depths of the palace, there was such a thing in the coffin. At that time, they didn’t know how powerful it was, so a team member chased it away with a stick. The snake’s movements were unexpectedly fast, and it jumped up in the air and bit the team member’s throat, killing him on the spot. People who got closer were all attacked by it in the blink of an eye, and all those who were bitten died on the spot. Later, I ran out like flying with the rest of the team members and the guide. The guide said it was The incarnation of the sun god is the god who guards the underground palace. We were punished for breaking into the underground palace. After reporting to the organization, a large number of people were sent to carry out secondary excavations with equipment, but no local guides were willing to lead the way. We I had to act on my own. As a result, it took three years to turn the Gobi Desert upside down, and I never found the entrance. It's one of our unsolved legacy."

Cha Wenbin pulled out the Seven Star Sword and held it in his hand and said, "The incarnation of the sun god? Interesting, the snake here is so hot, I really can't stand it, Chaozi, let's walk over slowly, if it doesn't go after about 30 meters, Fire a warning shot first, and kill it immediately if you don’t leave. It is said that the lyre bug is a thinking snake, very smart.”

A few people carefully watched the snake move slowly, Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong led the way, and they had already taken their respective tools. When the lyre insect saw someone approaching, it raised its neck even higher, and called out "cuckoo" The sound is also louder.

"Damn it, it's getting more and more fierce. If you don't leave, Lord Chao will blow your head off first and then roast it for a while." Chaozi's mouth has always been unclean, seeing that strange snake still showing off its might , The old problem has been committed again.

The distance is about 40 meters, the lyre insect seems to have heard what Chaozi said, and understood it, and leaned forward fiercely, and let out a roar, this is a snake attacking The action is like responding to Chaozi again.

"It's quite fierce, hehe." Chaozi said with a smile.

Cha Wenbin warned: "Be careful, this thing is not so easy to mess with."

The height of this lyre bug is almost as high as the face of the fleshy face when it is raised up, and half of it is on the ground, which is as thick as a mineral water bottle. It is red all over, especially its head, which looks like a praying mantis.At about 30 meters, it still maintained that attacking posture.

"Warn it." Cha Wenbin ordered.

With a "bang", a shot was fired, and a puff of smoke instantly popped up from the ground less than ten centimeters away from the lyre worm. The powerful bullet blasted a hole in the ground, and scattered rocks everywhere.

The lyre worm obviously had never seen this kind of thing before, and was startled by the sudden blow and leaned back.Right now, there are four such weapons aimed at its head. As long as it makes any attacking action, it is estimated that it will face a hail of bullets.

As expected, the snake was stopped, slowly lowered its neck, returned to the ground, turned around and slowly swam backwards, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chaozi put away his weapon and said with a smile, "It's quite true."

But Zha Wenbin doesn't think so. Since it has the intention of warning, it is not certain that it will encounter it in the future. This thing is smart.

"Be careful, it will be troublesome if you add a few more."

Strange to say, when they walked to the crater, they suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature began to drop, and occasionally there was a cool breeze, which made Cha Wenbin and the others happy.

Going forward, the entrance of the cave suddenly opened up, and then when the light shone into darkness, they thought it was the end, but the sharp-eyed Chaozi shouted: "God, look, what is that!"
