Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 15 Ghost Lantern

"gun!"

Old Qi stepped back a few steps and shouted.

Zhao Longyu tossed the soil gun to Mr. Qi, who took it over.

Viper Dragon had already rushed to Elder Qi at this time, the huge snake head was only a few meters away from him, and it slammed down with a condescending momentum.

Seeing this, Xin Ran pulled out his short dagger and was about to rush forward, but I grabbed him.I saw Qi Lao turning over and dodging flexibly.The viper dragon couldn't stop its momentum and hit the ground at once, stirring up a large cloud of dust, and the entire cave was shaken.

Seeing that the blow was missed, Viper raised his head and swept again towards Qi Lao's position.This time the range of the attack is much larger than before, which made me sweat a lot.However, Elder Qi seemed to have predicted its movements, and jumped a few steps in the direction it came from.The Viper leaped into the air again and swept onto the rock wall.

Seeing old Qi dodging in embarrassment, Xin Ran broke free from me directly, and rushed towards the back of the snake from the side with a short dagger in hand.Seeing her fighting so hard, I could only grit my teeth and run to the back of the snake from the other side while grabbing the engineering shovel.

However, the damn Viper directly ignored Xinran, and the snake head ran towards me.

I rely on!Do I have a grudge against it?Why is it me every time.

Before I could scold it, its big head was already in front of me.Thinking about the previous shovel, I knew it was useless to slap it, so I could only subconsciously shovel the engineer across my chest.

With a sound of "dong", I was lifted up by him again, and by coincidence, I bumped into Su Heluo's body, directly treating him as a human body.

I was pressed on top of him and couldn't get up for a long time, my chest felt like it was falling apart, the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe, while Su Heluo was yelling under me cursing.When I wobbled and stood up against the wall, I saw Xinran made a downward movement and inserted the dagger near the tail of the Viper Dragon.

Seemingly feeling the pain in its tail, the Viper swept its tail and knocked Xinran away.After one blow, Viper turned his head away, probably wanting to check the anomaly at the rear just now.

Just as Viper turned his head and got close to his tail, suddenly the knife flashed, Qi Lao jumped out of the dark with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and shot Viper in the head.Then he threw the gun towards us, and was caught by Zhao Longyu firmly. This set of movements was quick and smooth.

By the time I realized it, the Viper Dragon had gone mad, writhing its huge body on the ground, its head bumping around uncontrollably, and the whole cave felt like an earthquake.

I squatted by the hole and supported the rock wall to barely maintain my balance.Looking at Old Qi again, he was standing behind the snake, supporting Xinran with one hand, and stabbing the dagger into the rock wall with the other to stabilize his figure.At the moment, Su Heluo and Zhao Longyu are trying to stand still because they have no strength to focus on.

After tossing and turning for a while, the earth viper finally lay down on the ground, motionless.

After Zhao Longyu went up and aimed at its head and shot it again, we surrounded it together.

Although the long-distance accuracy of the soil gun is quite poor, its lethality at close range cannot be underestimated.

The huge snake head in front of us has been beaten badly. The side near the mouth is bloody and a mass of rotten meat hangs. It's dripping out of the hole.

"Damn it, it's finally screwed!" Zhao Longyu kicked the snake's head and cursed.

Mr. Qi glanced at it, and said, "It's a thousand-year-old alien species. It's God's blessing to kill it, but I don't know if the Viper is still intact." Then he put his hand into the snake's head In the hole, groping around.

Seeing this scene, I almost spit out.

Qi Lao took it out for a while before he took out a bead the size of a jujube.The bead was stained with blood, and it didn't look very round. The whole body was brown, just like an ordinary pebble.

"Put it away." Qi Lao threw the beads to Xinran, then wiped his hands with a tissue, and didn't introduce anything.

After Xin Ran took it, she carefully wiped the surface of the beads with paper before putting them in the bag.

I just experienced a big battle, and my chest is still sore at this moment. I didn’t notice until now that the engineer shovel in my hand was broken by the Viper, and only a piece of the handle remained in my hand. inside.

Just when I was about to look for where the shovel head fell, I found that there were many small snakes poking their heads out of the snake holes on the surrounding cave walls.

I don't know whether it was the Viper's impact or its bloody smell that attracted the little snakes, but it's obviously not a good choice to stay here.

I hurriedly reminded everyone, and then Zhao Longyu threw a round marble.With our backs facing the thick yellow smoke, our group continued to move toward the depths of the cave.

"Xin Ran, are you okay?"

Xinran also had a heavy blow from the Viper just now, and she might not feel well right now, so I asked her in a low voice.

Xin Ran beside him rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's okay, just a little injury."

I saw some black hair on one side of her forearm, it should be hit here by the snake's tail,
"Old man, do you think this hole has something to do with the tomb just now?" Zhao Longyu asked in a deep voice when he came to the back.

Old Qi shook his head and said, "Looking at the murals of the Han tomb, the hole and the viper already existed when the Han tomb was built. So the things we encountered along the way should have existed much earlier than the Western Han Dynasty."

When he was in the main tomb, Zhao Longyu was busy loading the coffin and did not pay attention to the mural.And I have really observed it carefully, and now that Mr. Qi mentioned it, I just had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The viper dragon we just killed should be the mountain dragon in the mural. It seems that the workers who built the Han tomb also dug through this cave in the mountain by accident.

Thinking of this, I asked, "Could it be that the person who dug this hole purposely kept this Viper in captivity? Such a long cave in the mountain is still a big project even now. What's the point of doing this?"

Mr. Qi looked back at me, and didn't answer me immediately. After a while, he sighed: "Thousands of years, who knows what the truth is. The answer may be hidden in the cave, or it may never be found." know."

At first glance, this may sound like nonsense literature, but when you think about it carefully, it is indeed the truth.Are there still many mysteries and truths that have been lost in the long river of history?
"Strange, why can't I see snake sloughs and snake holes around now." Su Heluo, who was walking in the front, wondered.

Just now we were only focused on talking and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment. Now we can see that the surrounding environment has indeed become much cleaner all of a sudden.

As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.In this situation, instead of relaxing, we feel as if something is about to happen.

"Fuck, it's a ghost lantern!" Su Heluo cursed suddenly, pointing forward with his right hand.

I looked into the depths of the cave in the direction of his finger, and at the farthest point of my sight, there were a few shining light blue spots shaking.

Elder Qi, who was walking in front of me and Xinran, suddenly said, "Put out the light."

After turning off the flashlight, we were swallowed up by darkness in an instant.Surprisingly quiet around, I can even hear the sound of Xinran's breathing.At this time, I found that the light spots in the distance became much clearer.There were only a few sporadic places just now, but now it looks densely packed, so many are a bit scary...
