Chapter 53 Gu Snake
I was startled and looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Professor Ye pursed his lips: "There seems to be something on the jade clothes!"

"What?!" I retracted my arms tremblingly, lying on the edge of the coffin, and focused my eyes on the jade clothes.

I saw that the top of the jade clothes was vaguely covered with a layer of white film-like substance. Because the green jade light was too dazzling, I couldn't see anything on it unless I looked carefully.

I picked up the film-like substance with a Luoyang shovel, and saw that it was crystal clear and white, like a layer of skin, which looked sticky and disgusting.

"What the hell is this?" I held up the Luoyang shovel and watched the thing dangling on the tip of the shovel.

Professor Ye squinted his eyes for a while, then blurted out, "This is snake skin!"

Snakeskin? !
I was startled for a moment, then took a closer look, and found that the white membranous thing really looked like snake skin. I felt scared and disgusted for a while. Could there be a snake in the coffin?If I put my hand into the coffin rashly just now, and a poisonous snake suddenly jumped out and bit me, I probably would have died.

I swung the Luoyang shovel twice, and threw that disgusting snakeskin far away.

Professor Ye said to me: "Be careful, there may be snakes in the coffin!"

I nodded, took a deep breath into my palm, held the Luoyang shovel tightly again, put the blade of the shovel into the coffin, and patted the jade warrior's body lightly.

Bang Bang Bang!Bang Bang Bang!
I tried to lure the poisonous snake out of the coffin with a sound, but after knocking for a long time, no poisonous snake crawled out. Could it be that we misread it just now, isn't that a snake skin?But what could that thing be if it wasn't snake skin?

"Professor Ye, there seems to be no snake in the coffin!" I said.

Professor Ye nodded, and held up a torch to shine a light inside: "Have you noticed that the mouth of the ancient corpse seems to be a little bulging?"

When Professor Ye said this, I also felt that the mouth of the ancient corpse was swollen, as if something was stuffed in it.

"Let me see!" I extended the Luoyang shovel to the mouth of the ancient corpse, and slowly pried open the mouth of the ancient corpse with the tip of the shovel.

when!
There was a crisp sound from the mouth of the ancient corpse, and the tip of the shovel seemed to have touched some kind of hard object.

"There's really something in my mouth!" I said.

"Pry it open and have a look!" Professor Ye asked me to continue.

I nodded, and with a little more force on my wrist, the entire mouth of the ancient corpse was pried open by the tip of the shovel.

Professor Ye held up a torch to take a photo near the mouth of the ancient corpse, and said in surprise: "Look! There is a bronze vessel stuffed in his mouth!"

I took a closer look, and saw that there was indeed a round bronze vessel stuffed in the mouth of the ancient corpse, glowing with a faint light.

"Take it out!" Professor Ye said.

"Are you sure?" I thought of the corpse of the hall master of the Dizi Hall before, and a demon flower that could spray poisonous mist came out of his mouth, making us poisoned by the flower of the underworld. What the hell is going to come out?
Professor Ye nodded, staring at the mouth of the ancient corpse with piercing eyes.

In order to avoid danger, I did not directly use my hands, but used the tip of the shovel to dig out the bronze vessel from the mouth of the ancient corpse.

Huh? !

The bronze vessel is oval in shape, about the size of a fist, and looks like an eyeball.

Bronze eyeballs? !
I looked at Professor Ye in surprise. This bronze eyeball was exactly the same as the one we found under the Tianshu Monument. We never knew what that bronze eyeball was for. We didn’t expect to find another one here. It's really strange.

When Professor Ye saw the bronze eyeball, his eyes burst out with surprise, and he stretched out his hand to hold the bronze eyeball in his hand, and murmured, "Finally found another one!"

Finally found another one? !

What does Professor Ye mean by this sentence?
When I found the first bronze eyeball, Professor Ye also said something strange, but I didn't take it seriously at the time.But today, Professor Ye said such a strange sentence again. Thinking back and forth, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart. Could it be...Professor Ye knows the secret of bronze eyeballs?He has something to hide from us?

Before I could open my mouth to ask, the facial expression of the ancient corpse suddenly changed. Professor Ye suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled it back hard: "Tuoba Gu, get out of the way!"

The two of us jumped back, almost at the same moment, an inch-long golden arrow swished out from the mouth of the ancient corpse.

I shuddered suddenly, I didn't expect that there was a hidden weapon in the mouth of the ancient corpse, but is the mechanism for shooting arrows hidden in the stomach of the ancient corpse?
The golden sharp arrow soared into the sky, turned into an "S" out of thin air, and then fell into the pool of blood.

In this way, Professor Ye and I could see clearly that it was not a golden arrow at all, but a small golden snake.Reminiscent of the snakeskin I found on the jade clothes before, I felt a chill down my spine.There really was a snake in the coffin, and it was hidden in the stomach of the ancient corpse.Fortunately, I was careful just now. If I used my hands to take the bronze eyeball from the mouth of the ancient corpse, I would definitely be bitten by this little golden snake.Although I don't know what kind of snake it is, the snakes hidden in the stomach of the dead body must be extremely poisonous.

In just the blink of an eye, something unexpected happened.After the little golden snake fell into the blood pool, for some unknown reason, it quickly grew bigger and longer like a balloon. In just a few dozen seconds, the little snake that was originally only inches long grew wildly to more than three meters , turned into a golden python.The golden scales all over his body shook like a gleaming golden armor.The giant golden snake hovered around its body and raised its head high, like a king who resides in the world.I clearly saw that the eyes of the giant python were blood red, as if filled with endless resentment and death.

I admit that I was scared stupid, really scared stupid, my legs were like two wooden stakes nailed to the ground, and I couldn't move at all.

"Tuobagu, what are you doing standing there? Run quickly—" Professor Ye yanked me, and dragged me staggeringly towards the bank of the blood pool.

The golden python slammed the snake's body, opened its mouth wide, spewed out a cloud of black poisonous mist, and then plunged into the water, chasing after it like a high-speed sneaking nuclear submarine, stirring up the bloody water.

"My god!" At this moment, all six of my seven souls were scared away, and ran towards the shore without thinking.My mind went blank due to excessive fright, I didn't know anything, I just ran mechanically, looking indescribably embarrassed.

run!keep running!

The picture in front of me kept shaking. I saw Gu Meidi waving anxiously at us on the shore. She opened her mouth and shouted loudly, but I couldn’t seem to hear her voice at all. I could only hear the clattering from behind. The sound of the water, I know that the golden python is getting closer and closer to us...

"Go up!" Professor Ye who was next to me slammed me behind my waist. I took advantage of the situation and jumped up with all my strength. I jumped out of the pool of blood and fell to the ground.

Before I got up, I heard Gu Meidi's mournful scream: "Professor Ye——"

My heart trembled suddenly, not good!Something happened to Professor Ye!
I struggled to get up from the ground, looked back, and saw Gu Meidi sitting on the ground with a pale face, covering his mouth with his hands, staring at Xuechi with wide eyes.

"Professor Ye! Professor Ye!" I ran over ignoring the pain in my body, only to see blood rolling in the pool of blood, the figure of the golden python looming in the pool of blood, but there was no trace of Professor Ye anymore.

My heart sank immediately, and my lips trembled crazily: "Gu Meidi, Professor Ye... Where is Professor Ye?"

Gu Meidi shook his head sadly, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes: "He...he pushed you ashore, but he didn't have time to climb up, and then...the snake...the snake rushed up..."

Gu Meidi was crying, and my head exploded, as if my body was being emptied all of a sudden, my knees went limp, and I slumped on the ground powerlessly.Looking at the surging blood, I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart.Professor Ye had a chance to escape by himself just now, but he gave me the chance to survive at the last moment. This kindness is like a heavy stone on my chest, making me breathless.

Our minds went blank, and we just sat on the edge of the pool of blood foolishly.After a while, there was a sudden bang, and a head floated out of the pool of blood. Professor Ye waved to us panting: "You two idiots, come and give me a hand!"

"Professor Ye?!" Gu Meidi and I jumped up at the same time, full of surprises, and quickly stretched out our hands to pull Professor Ye out of the bleeding pool.

Professor Ye was wet all over, lying sprawled on the ground, his chest heaving violently.

"Professor Ye, you... are you still alive?" Seeing that Professor Ye came back alive, I was a little incoherent with excitement.

Professor Ye scolded with a smile: "What's the matter? You mean that you are expecting me to die?"

I quickly waved my hand: "No! Absolutely not!"

Professor Ye struggled to get up: "Fortunately, my skills are still nimble, and I almost died in the belly of a snake!"

Gu Meidi supported Professor Ye: "Let's leave here quickly, it will be difficult for that golden python to catch up!"

Professor Ye wiped the stinky water stains on his face: "The giant python will not catch up, it can only stay in the blood pool, once it leaves the blood pool, it will not survive!"

"Ah? There is such a thing? Why is this?" I asked curiously.

Professor Ye said: "If I'm not wrong, this giant python should be a Gu snake, and it will grow crazy instantly after inhaling blood. I didn't know what the blood in this pool was for before, but now I know , the blood in this pool is for feeding Gu snakes. Just like what we did just now, once someone takes away the bronze eyeballs from the ancient corpse's mouth, the Gu snakes will be ejected from the ancient corpse, and then fall into the blood pool to absorb the blood Then it starts to mutate!"
