Me who fears women travels with beautiful girls

"Do you really think there is a dragon, even if it's just a small possibility?" Song Wenbin whispered to Sutina.

"No." Sutina immediately denied it. She held her head high and said, "I just thought of something. What is in this cave? Let's continue exploring."

"Just tell me," Song Wenbin pestered Sutina, "What on earth are you thinking about?"

Sutina still didn't say anything, but her expression was a little annoyed and she gave it away.

Until the three of them reached the end of the cave, another shaft appeared in front of them. This shaft was ten meters wide in diameter and went straight downward. Under the searchlight, the stone walls of the shaft were as smooth as a giant intestine, which was spectacular.

The size of this cave far exceeds Song Wenbin's imagination. The underground in the Yunnan-Guizhou region is even more complex and changeable than the surface.

While watching, Huo Yu stepped on something and made a crunching sound.

A few people took a light to shine and found a large number of bones on the ground. They were also animal bones. They were more numerous and denser than when they first entered the cave entrance. They were scattered in pieces on the edge of the shaft, as if they were telling something silently.

"These salt-boiled guys are quite edible..."

Song Wenbin said, he was restraining his uneasiness.

"Not necessarily." Huo Yu squatted down and inspected the bones and said, "Look, these bones are facing the shaft. Except for the bones outside, we didn't see many bones along the way, but they are concentrated here. There are a lot of them left, it must be intentional."

Sutina also squatted down to check the edge of the shaft. After checking, she called: "Come and see here."

Song Wenbin quickly came to Sutina and saw her pointing to the edge of the shaft. There were some remaining brown marks there, which were obviously darker than the surrounding yellow stones.

"What is this?" Song Wenbin asked.

She said solemnly: "This should be the remaining blood stains, because the blood contains iron elements, and the marks formed after drying for a long time can form such marks, indicating that someone has let blood here."

Song Wenbin lay on the ground and followed Sutina's fingers with a lamp to shine on the stone wall. The brown mark extended downwards along the stone wall with no end in sight. Looking at the densely packed bones around me, I couldn't help but feel a little creepy. There were at least hundreds of skeletons here. Why were these people so crazy that they actually carried out large-scale bloodletting activities here?

"When there was such a shortage of supplies in the past, these people did not use blood as food, but allowed it to flow into the shaft. There must be something wrong." Sutina murmured.

"What do you think is wrong? They are feeding the dragon." Huo Yu's eyes widened.

"Isn't Wei Long a hottie?" Song Wenbin tried to shake his nerves to relieve his inner uneasiness.

"That's not called feeding the dragon. If I have to say it, the ancients called it feeding the dragon." Sutina whispered.

"You finally stopped pretending to be stupid, right?" Huo Yu suddenly sneered.

"What?" Sutina was confused.

"Say! Do you know a lot of information about dragons, but you just don't want to share it with us!!" Huo Yu said fiercely.

Sutina said stubbornly: "I'll say it again, I don't think there are dragons, I don't believe there are dragons! But I do know some short stories in history, but that doesn't mean I think there really are dragons. Stories are just stories!"

"What a story, tell me." Song Wenbin said, rubbing his hands beside him.

Sutina hummed for a long time before reluctantly saying: "If it's just eating cattle and sheep, or just exaggerating the atmosphere, the old man has a thousand ways to do it, but he mentioned the matter of sucking blood, which made me a little concerned. Because I suddenly thought of An allusion, a short story from the Ming Dynasty. An allusion recorded in Gengsi Bian."

"What an allusion."

Huo Yu also became interested.

"This allusion is the author Lu Can's record of his ancestor's experience. It talks about the experience of his grandfather, Ji Zongdao, when he was young. Ji Zongdao once served as an inspector during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. One day when he was traveling, he picked up a giant as big as a liter. Egg, he came back with the egg, let the chicken hatch for more than a hundred days, and gave birth to a strange thing. Ancient books said that this thing was like a snake, with four legs of pale color, scales all over the body, and its length was not full. When walking, the head is raised and the body is raised, almost like a beast walking."

"Wow!"

Song Wenbin sighed. He didn't quite understand the last paragraph, but it felt very powerful. Fortunately, Su Tina could remember it. This brain is really not very good.

"Then what?" Huo Yu asked obsessedly.

"Ji Weng's family first fed it with rice juice. After a few months, the creature gradually grew up and liked to drink raw blood. Every time Ji Weng's family slaughtered pigs and sheep, they would go there to get the raw blood to drink. Over time, this thing became After being domesticated, this snake-like creature followed Ji Weng wherever he went. The most common thing Ji Weng did was to take it to sleep next to the bed and touch its scales with his hands. It was as cold as iron. The family members called this creature Xiaolong. .”

Song Wenbin's lips were slightly opened and he was stunned.

Sutina continued: "Later, many people around heard that Ji Weng had raised such a strange thing and came to see it. Ji Weng was worried that word of mouth would spread the word among people and eventually lead to disaster and harm the family, so he kept the thing behind his house. In the stream pond, he told it not to worry about starvation, he would send people to feed it every day. However, it could not come out of the pond casually.

As a result, as soon as Ji Weng left, the snake-like creature followed. Ji Weng scolded it and said, "If you don't obey, I will kill you."

The creature actually understood what Ji Weng meant and returned to the deep pool.

Later, Ji Weng often sent people to put the blood on the edge of the pool. As soon as he put it, it emerged from the pool and sucked it. As time went by, it actually grew to more than several feet. However, one day, the daughter-in-law of one of Ji Weng's colleagues went to the pond to wash clothes. The woman was wearing red clothes at the time. The snake-like creature looked at her and thought it was someone coming to bring blood again, so it swept her away and sucked her blood until she died.

When his colleagues heard about this, they were furious and said that Ji Weng was raising monsters and they wanted to bring this matter to Shangguan and destroy Ji Weng's family.

Ji Weng was frightened, begged and apologized with heavy gifts, and was relieved. Afterwards, Ji Weng thought that the basilisk could not be kept, so he came to the edge of the pool with a knife, still luring it out with blood, and then chopped it off with a knife. The thing was frightened and ran away. Ji Weng only cut off its tail. Since then, the thing has never appeared again. No one knows whether it is dead or alive. "

Sutina's story is not long, but Song Wenbin's body was already trembling after listening to it. This kind of story can be told anywhere, but in this dark underground cave with a depth of 100 meters, there are even traces of blood left on the bones on the ground. At the edge of the shaft, an ordinary little story becomes a top-notch horror story.

Huo Yu was also entranced and could not speak for a long time.

Seeing that her two colleagues were fascinated, Sutina waved her hands and said, "This allusion is called Ji Weng Huan Long in the book. In ancient times, I'm talking about the ancient times in the pre-Qin period. It is said that there were special official positions in the palaces of the Xia Dynasty. They were called Huanlongguan, and the famous one among them was called Dongfu, and the current Dong surname comes from this."

"Good guy...what else don't you know..."

Song Wenbin said to himself.

"So dragons actually drink blood??" Huo Yu said in surprise: "You have known for a long time what dragons eat, and you keep asking us! You know we don't know!!"

"I didn't say dragons drink blood!!"

Su Tina loudly said: "In fact, there are many similar records by the ancients, and they are not limited to dragons. In the Song Dynasty's "The Mohist Wields the Rhinoceros", there is a more detailed paragraph. It is said that the shape of the dragon is like a snake, and its head is like a tiger. The elders, who are several feet tall, mostly live under stone caves in streams and pools, and their sound is like the croaking of a cow. If the dragon sees a pedestrian on the bank or in the valley, it will surround it with the fishy saliva in its mouth, causing the person to fall into the water, and then suck it under its armpit. The bleeding will not stop until the bleeding is gone.”

"Look, look, there are a lot of them!" Huo Yu shouted.

"It's useless. "The Mohist Wields the Rhinoceros" is the same as "The Gengsi Edition". It is not official history, but more like a fantasy novel. Its authenticity is questionable. How can you believe it!"

Sutina paused and emphasized: "Besides, the poet also drank blood and turned into a dragon again with his rhinoceros. He also said that its head was like a tiger, which was very different from the description of a dragon. Can you imagine the length of something living in the water? Tiger head, it shows that this matter is mostly fantasy, not reality!!"

"Okay, okay, can you please keep your voice down!!"

Song Wenbin saw that these two people were still making a lot of noise in this damn place, so he quickly begged anxiously in a low voice, for fear that their voices would attract some big blood-sucking snake several feet long.

But no one paid attention to him, Huo Yu was not afraid, she said proudly: "I don't care, the dragon drinks blood, it's not running away, and this just shows that creatures like dragons exist, right? Otherwise, why didn't the old man say anything? Just talk about sucking blood."

"No, oops... It's really hard to tell you..." Sutina said irritably: "I'm thinking, I mean, these records may be fabricated and fanciful, but fantasies must have prototypes. Just like vampires And bats, elves and Celts, dragons and lizards, but in China, there has not been an aquatic creature closely integrated with blood since ancient times, whether it is in fresh water or sea water, there will be nothing Animals specifically feed on blood, and dragons or dragons are the only isolated examples, so I speculate that in ancient times, there should have been an amphibian that lived on blood, and this was the prototype creature of the dragon or dragon."

Song Wenbin asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me, is it a leech?"

Sutina:......

Of course, Song Wenbin was just being smart. He didn't think that anyone would kill cattle and sheep on a large scale to sacrifice leech.

After a long silence, Huo Yu laughed. She patted Sutina on the shoulder and said proudly: "You finally admitted that you were wrong, right? There are dragons in the world."

"Fuck you!!" Sutina said in a rare voice: "I really can't explain it to you. As long as no one comes to tell me how a thing without wings can fly into the sky against gravity, I will I never believe that there is such a thing as a dragon in the world. But if you want to ask whether there is a creature that we have never discovered that feeds on blood, then I admit that there is such a possibility. Now it seems that the possibility is still Not small!"

"Okay, okay! I'm just teasing you~"

Sutina's rare compromise made Huo Yu very satisfied. She put her hands on her hips and said in an old-fashioned way: "The world is very big, and there are always unknown things waiting for us to discover. Is there such an animal as you mentioned?" , we’ll find out when we go down and take a look.”

The hairs on Song Wenbin's body stood up. Now he was really scared: "No...don't... I think it's so scary..."

The hole is as huge as an abyss, and they are going down to find something that lives on blood, and the thing may not be small in size. Just thinking about it is scary enough.

But facing Song Wenbin's timidity, Huo Yu showed contempt and said, "What are you afraid of? This blood has been dried for many years. Even if there was something in it, it has been abandoned for so long. I will starve to death."

"I……"

"Yes, the bigger the creature, the more food it needs. This is an iron rule. In all the literature records, all those related to the dragon are royal or wealthy, which shows that this prototype creature needs It's very big, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many bones here. Such a demand, no one has fed it for so many years, should have been sent long ago. But if we can really find bones, even if we just find a few scale samples, it will be enough It caused an earthquake throughout the biological world."

Sutina said softly, with uncontrollable excitement in her voice.

Song Wenbin looked at his two colleagues, dumbfounded. For the first time, he discovered that he was so powerless after leaving civilized society.

"How many meters are there left on the rope?" Huo Yu asked.

"Two hundred meters." Song Wenbin said reluctantly.

Huo Yu kicked a stone into the shaft, then listened to the sound of falling stone for a while, and said, "It should be enough. Let's go down and have a look."
