Chapter 493 Relying on Smell

"No, we've been fooled! We've been fooled by Yuan Tiangang!" Chen Ziyang slapped his thigh violently and realized.

This action of his startled the other five people. The other five people looked at each other. None of them understood what Chen Ziyang meant, why such a sentence popped up suddenly, and they didn't understand what they were doing. What did Yuan Tiangang do.

"These traces on the ground were obviously made by the giant python, and judging from the freshness of the soil around these traces, these traces are all new, that is to say, the giant python should be in this lake. Everyone on Xindao Island, be careful." Seeing that the other people didn't understand what he meant, Chen Ziyang hurriedly reminded them.

"What! How is this possible? Isn't that giant python supposed to eat those silver silkworm Gu kings from the wooden giant? Why did it suddenly run to this island in the middle of the lake? Could it be... there are two giant pythons like that? Is it?" Yang Lei asked in disbelief.

"Two are naturally impossible. It is very rare to have one of such a big Gu Mang. I absolutely do not believe that there will be a second giant python. That giant python did not stay in the middle of the wood giant's lake. The island, but after we got into the water, we also left there and arrived here ahead of time, waiting for us.

The speed of the giant python in the water is much faster than we can walk, so it rushed ahead of us and came to this island just to wait for our arrival. This should be one of the defensive organs set up by Yuan Tiangang. In the ring, everyone must be careful. "

Just as Chen Ziyang finished speaking, some sounds suddenly came from a distance. These sounds sounded like the sound made when someone dumped piles of steel pipes on the ground.It is estimated that the giant python knocked down several boxes in that direction, and the weapons in the boxes fell out.

Now Chen Ziyang fully understands that whether it is the wooden giant or the existence of this giant python, they are all a series of traps set up by Yuan Tiangang, the purpose is to prevent the treasures left by him from being stolen by others. .

There is a great possibility that in addition to the treasure map recording the location of the treasure, Yuan Tiangang also left behind a correct method of opening the treasure. Only by following this method to obtain the treasure here will not alarm the wooden giant and This giant python.

But Chen Ziyang and others didn't know this method, so when the six people found the treasures all over the floor, as well as the golden knife and jade seal left by Yuan Tiangang, their wrong opening method triggered the mechanism left by Yuan Tiangang, and the wood The giant awoke from his deep sleep.

It would not be such a coincidence, as soon as the golden knife and jade seal appeared, the defense mechanism was activated, so Chen Ziyang realized this at the time, and it is very likely that the wooden giant woke up because the golden knife and jade seal were taken out.

So Chen Ziyang threw the jade seal aside later, just to verify this point, and it was the same in fact. When the jade seal was thrown away, the first thing the wooden giant did was to look for the jade seal, and then he went to deal with the people on the island. Several people.

Shangguan Kangning said before that he felt the breath of Gu insects on the wood giant, and it is very likely that these Gu insects are the key to the wood giant's awakening.Maybe there are some special things smeared on the jade seal, and the smell from these things can only be smelled by Gu insects.

So when the jade seal was taken out of the box, these unique smells came out and were smelled by the Gu worms hidden in the wood giant's body, so these Gu worms slowly woke up, under the action of these Gu worms , The wood giant also woke up.

Although this was just Chen Ziyang's guess, he felt that it was almost inseparable. Otherwise, how could a wooden giant without eyes and sense of smell judge the location of Yuxi and several people?This guess is also reasonable.

Originally, Chen Ziyang's speculation ended here. He thought that the organ left by Yuan Tiangang was the wooden giant, but later Yang Lei and the three found the Gu eggs in the earth pit where the wooden giant stayed, and this giant. The appearance of the python made Chen Ziyang realize that things were not as simple as he imagined. Yuan Tiangang set up a series of tricks, and the wooden giant was just the most obvious first link.

It may be because of the particularity of the python-like creature that the giant python cannot fall into a state similar to hibernation in this warm environment, so the giant python has been living within the range of this underground lake for so many years .

The scope of this underground lake is very large. Although the six people found three islands in the center of the lake where the treasures left by Yuan Tiangang were placed, Chen Ziyang felt that the area of ​​the water they walked through was actually even the size of the entire underground lake. Less than one-tenth of the area.

The lake water around the third lake center island is obviously warmer than the lake water around the first lake center island, so it is very likely that if you continue to go deeper into the lake, the water temperature there will be higher.

Snakes are usually very afraid of some pungent smells, such as the smell of sulfur in underground lakes.The deeper you go into the lake, the stronger the smell of sulfur in the lake should be.

The smell of sulfur precisely restricts the python's activity area, so that it can only move around the edge of the lake, and the three islands in the center of the lake with treasures left by Yuan Tiangang are on the edge of the lake. Within the range of this giant python's long-term activities.

Taking advantage of natural environmental factors, Yuan Tiangang ensured that the giant python would not be too far away from the treasure he left behind. In this way, when the giant mang needed to be activated, the giant python would come in the shortest possible time.

There are 16 Gu eggs buried under the big pit where the wooden giant is hidden. Among these Gu eggs are the silver silkworm Gu king that the giant python loves most.After the wooden giant is activated, the floating soil above will be pushed away by it, and these Gu eggs are much closer to the ground, and the smell in the Gu eggs can be easily smelled by the giant python.

This is the second ring of the chain plan. When the wood giant is activated, the giant python will come to the edge of the third island in the center of the lake, where it will quietly wait for the arrival of the prey, waiting for the people who steal the treasure to come down. in the water.

But by mistake, the small glowing fish in the lake exposed the existence of this giant python.This also allowed Chen Ziyang and others to avoid the attack of this giant python dangerously.

Moreover, due to the existence of Chen Ziyang's blood that can attract Gu worms in this link, another bigger loophole appeared.Chen Ziyang's blood attracted the silver silkworm Gu king, causing these Gu insects to fight the wooden giant. A large amount of body fluid from the silver silkworm Gu king's body was smeared on the wooden giant, and it was the body fluid of these silver silkworm Gu kings. , leading the giant python out of the water ahead of time.

It is very likely that according to Yuan Tiangang's previous design, the wooden giant will first hold back the treasure-digger, and then let the Gu egg lead the giant python over.It would be best if the wooden giant could get rid of the people who stole the treasure, but if the wooden giant didn't completely get rid of the people who stole the treasure, it would be the turn of the giant python.

That giant python should have been quietly hiding under the water, ready to launch a sudden attack when the treasure diggers went into the water.

The speed of the giant python is very fast, and the speed underwater is probably even more terrifying. Moreover, this big guy has a terrifying body shape. Combining several factors together, this giant python is more than several times stronger than the wooden giant.

It's no wonder that Shangguan Kangning said before that the things hidden under the water are likely to be more powerful than the wood giant and the silver silkworm Gu king combined.Now it seems that Shangguan Kangning's intuition is very accurate.

However, the bodily fluids of those silver silkworm Gu kings were too attractive to the giant python, so that the big guy got out of the water ahead of time, and he didn't care about attacking the treasure thieves, but directly took the wooden giant's right hand. Legs were broken.

It can be said that Chen Ziyang used his own blood, in addition to causing the infighting between the Silver Silkworm Gu King and the Wood Giant, it also inadvertently solved a bigger crisis.

If the six people escaped with the treasure in this way, then this time the action would be perfect.Chen Ziyang's own blood had inadvertently deciphered the first two links of this series.But this chain plan was designed by Yuan Tiangang, it's not that simple.

Perhaps when setting up this defense mechanism, Yuan Tiangang didn't think that someone's blood could have such a strong attraction to Gu worms, but he thought of one thing, that is, it is very likely that the person who stole the treasure did not die underwater In the mouth of the giant python, Yuan Tiangang also set up a third ring when designing this chain plan.

Since the jade seal is smeared with a scent that can be captured by the wooden giant, why can't it be on the golden knife?

This giant python did not eat its favorite silver silkworm Gu King, and arrived at the second island in the middle of the lake before the six people, which is very unreasonable.Why didn't this giant python do that before, but let the six people go, and focused on the body fluids of the Silver Silkworm Gu King.

Chen Ziyang thought instantly that there was only one explanation, that is, after a few people left the third island in the middle of the lake, something must have happened to make this giant python shift its target from Silver Silkworm Gu King to himself On the body of six people here.

Ever since he knew that the bug recorded by Yuan Tiangang on the treasure map was the sun-moon nose bug, which had a keen sense of smell different from other bugs, Chen Ziyang discovered that among the treasures left by Yuan Tiangang, the smell is the most important thing. The essential.

This treasure can only be found by smell. After entering here, it is the smell that wakes up the wood giant, and it is the smell that attracts the giant python.So after the six people entered the water, there must have been some special smell that stimulated the giant python, and this smell was much more attractive to the giant python than the Silver Silkworm Gu King.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang realized that there must be something wrong with the golden knife!

The two most valuable things in this treasure are the golden knife and the jade seal, or in other words, these two things are what Yuan Tiangang really wants to protect, and they are the last thing he wants to be stolen by others.

After the wooden giant was activated, the treasure thieves would naturally think that maybe it was the jade seal that drew the wooden giant out, so they would throw away the jade seal.The wooden giant will indeed be led away by the jade seal, which will make the treasure hunters have a mentality that the golden knife is safe and sound.

Now that the jade seal has been lost, the golden knife can no longer be lost.So those who steal and dig the treasure will take this precious golden knife with them, and this golden knife is just the key to open the third ring of the chain meter.

Maybe Yuan Tiangang also smeared something special on the golden knife.This kind of thing didn't have much effect at the beginning, so the giant python stayed underwater and would not be attracted to the island in the middle of the lake.

However, once the substance smeared on the golden knife comes into contact with the hot spring lake here, it may emit a smell that attracts giant pythons. After all, the water around the island in the center of the lake is very deep. If you want to leave this treasure location, take The golden knife on the body will definitely be stained with the lake water here.

This smell gave the giant python a strong indication, and directly outlined the escape route of the thief in the giant python's mind, so the giant python circled to the second island in the middle of the lake and waited here. With the arrival of prey.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't understand why the giant python didn't directly attack the six of them underwater, he knew that since Yuan Tiangang could design it to this point, then Yuan Tiangang was able to eliminate the people who fell into the treasure digging by the giant python. With extremely strong confidence, this giant python is not easy to deal with.

"Boom..." The boxes in the darkness in the distance kept being raised high, and the weapons contained in the boxes were scattered from mid-air. Judging from the flying speed of these boxes, the giant python was flying at an extremely high speed. He approached the six people at a fast speed.

The defense mechanism designed by Yuan Tiangang is indeed flawless. Chen Ziyang knows that it is very likely that when the six people on his side were walking in the water just now, all of them have been contaminated with the special aura emanating from the golden knife. The smell, in the eyes of the giant python, or in the nose of the six people, is no different from the lights in the dark night.

This battle is inevitable, unexpectedly, he still has to fight against this huge Gu Mang head-on.Chen Ziyang took out the ancient Xuanming sword and placed it in front of him, ready to fight.

When depicting the formation on the wooden giant, Xu Xiaoyuan contributed her two precious copper coins.Chen Ziyang knew that the two copper coins were the treasures of Taoist Xiaoyuan, so he thought at the time that when the wooden giant fell, he must take back the two copper coins and the tortoise shell left by Zhang Linfu. It doesn't matter whether you take the magic weapon or not.

But the giant python that came out halfway made it impossible for him to realize this idea, so now Xu Xiaoyuan only has the medicine cauldron to use.

And Jin Huang was even worse. The magic weapon he took advantage of had already been destroyed in the Taoist holy land. Although he had made sufficient preparations this time, it was not so easy to get a good magic weapon. The magic weapon prepared has only reached the level that can be used.

But when he was fighting with the wooden giant, Jin Huang's magical weapons were almost consumed, and now he is almost no different from bare-handed.
