The power rushed towards me.

I had no time to turn around and hurriedly grabbed a branch of the stone tree, shrinking my whole body to avoid the fatal blow behind me.

There was a "swish" sound, and the young master saw that I was in danger and handed the flashlight to the girl again. The bamboo arrow had already retracted.

In a hurry, I looked back and saw that I was stunned. What was this? A snake? Or a monster? It was a black snake-like monster with a body nearly one meter thick and a triangular head like a snake.

The thick scaly fangs were exposed and the pitch-black tongue was right behind me. And this animal with almost all the characteristics of a snake actually had a single horn like a blade on its head!

As we all know, snakes have no horns. Those with horns are not snakes but dragons!

"Old Xu, come here quickly!" The young master hurriedly greeted me after shooting three bamboo arrows in succession. I also wanted to go over, but I was too close to the strange snake. Now I am climbing on the trunk of the stone tree and dare not move.

.And the monster seemed to be angered by the young master's bamboo arrows and couldn't reach the young master. It suddenly rushed towards me like crazy.

I was so frightened that I had nowhere to hide, so I had no choice but to move forward with my sword. The strange snake seemed to know the power of the ancient bronze sword in my hand. Seeing the cold light of the ancient bronze sword, it hurriedly lowered its head and actually shrank back. I took the opportunity to steady myself.

He carefully looked at this strange black snake.

It's really strange. I don't know why. I always feel that this snake is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. But I know this is impossible. If I have seen such a big snake before and it was not buried in the snake's belly, it would be enough for me to remember it forever.

But when this big black snake saw that I wasn't attacking, it huddled on the big stone tree. A pair of black eyes stared at me with a ghostly cold light. Only then did I notice that half of this damn big snake's body was actually connected to the stone.

.No, that’s right, it was originally just a stone.

I can't see the specific situation clearly. It seems that the entire big stone tree is just its huge body. Only its head can move, and its tail has been completely petrified and merged with the big stone tree.

Petrified? Suddenly my heart moved and I suddenly remembered. No wonder I looked so familiar with this snake. When we were in the corridor, didn't that weird bronze servant have nine huge snake tails under its body? Could it be that someone actually chopped up a big snake?

The snake's head was placed here in two halves and the tail was attached to the bronze servant's body?

I myself was shocked by this ridiculous idea. How could this be possible? A snake could still be alive after being chopped into two pieces? Of course, everything is possible in this ancient tomb.

I was in a stalemate with the big black snake with horns. Its dark eyes reflected the light of our flashlights like will-o'-the-wisps jumping uncertainly in the darkness.

The girl who had been silent until now suddenly raised her voice and said, "Brother Xu, I remembered..."

"What?" I instinctively turned back to see the girl. What did she remember? But as soon as I turned around, the big black snake that had not moved suddenly moved like the wind and rushed towards me viciously. I was so frightened that I held up the bronze ancient snake.

The sword came forward. Unexpectedly, although half of the black snake's body was petrified, its mind was so flexible that it didn't directly collide with the ancient bronze sword and instead hit the trunk of the stone tree that I was leaning on fiercely.

***! Although I already knew the intention of the big black snake, it was too late to stop it. The big snake was extremely fast and the trunk of the stone tree shook when it hit hard, and then with a very unsatisfactory "pop" sound, it directly

Broken into two pieces.

I screamed and fell quickly without relying on my body. The bare stone tree was dozens of meters high, to say nothing of it. It would be strange if the fall didn't turn me into a pulp. In panic, I grabbed hold of my hands. Fortunately, I was able to hold him.

Lived the trunk of the stone tree below.

There was a "pop" sound and a rope fell down. The young master shouted anxiously, "Old Xu, grab the rope quickly and I will pull you up."

I didn't care how much I wanted to hold on to the rope. The young master and the girl worked together to pull me up again. Waiting for the girl and the young master to gather together, I squinted my eyes and looked up at the strange snake. The second half of its body was already petrified and could move.

The head is only about three meters long and the body is indescribably weird and thick, but it is only a little bit long.

"This is a snake..." the girl said. Her face became even worse and her voice was hoarse.

"What..." I couldn't help but be shocked and suddenly remembered the desolate and helpless sigh when I obtained this ancient bronze sword, and those sixteen words that were like poetry and song:

The Eight Diagrams Jiazi, the magic machine, the ghost hides and transforms into a snake, dragon bones, and everything is broken!

Is there really such a strange snake that transforms into a snake? Could it be that the voice I always thought was an illusion actually exists? Otherwise, how could the girl recognize that it is a snake that transforms into a snake?

The girl didn't know what I was thinking and hurriedly explained, "Yes, I saw in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that a snake turned into a huge snake and gave birth to nine tails. A single horn born at the head is a very dangerous thing. But I didn't know about this snake.

Why are you in the stone? But I can guarantee that there must be a way out behind the incarnation. The original owner of this tomb was so generous that he was able to let the ancient beasts guard his body."

I don't have time to think about ancient mythical beasts. What I need to think about now is how to get out as soon as possible so that the girl can eat something and get some medicine for her. Otherwise, sooner or later, we will be trapped here to death. If we don't feed the transformed snake, we will have to eat the transformed snake.

As soon as I thought about it, I turned around and looked at the ghostly, ugly black snake covered in black scales. I was not interested in eating snakes at all, let alone being eaten by snakes.

Since the girl said there is a way out behind the snake, no matter what, I have to find a way to get this big guy out of the way and see if there is a way out. But here comes the problem. Although this thing is only three meters long, it can definitely take a mouthful if it opens its mouth.

Swallow me.

I asked: "What should I do now?" The girl said: "I have to find a way to chop it." I looked at the huge snake and couldn't help but compare my waistline for a long time before saying, "I can't chop it.

I'm afraid it has been hungry for a thousand years and is preparing to make snacks with the three of us to satisfy its hunger."

The young master asked very lewdly: "Lao Xu, you said that this snake's body has turned into stone. What if he wants that? What should I do?"

I was thinking about how to chop up this snake clam, but when he asked, I immediately became confused and frowned and said, "What?"

The young master said: "It has to digest and excrete what it eats. But how can it urinate and defecate when the back half of its body has been petrified?" I fainted when I heard this. How long has this girl been sick and he still has the heart to joke?

She immediately rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to pay him any attention.

Unexpectedly, when the girl heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded, saying that it was no wonder she had been feeling something was wrong just now. It turned out to be this reason.

I asked what was wrong? The girl told me to go over there with peace of mind and just slash at the snake without fear, because it had no way of swallowing anything, even a mouse. I still didn’t understand. The girl didn’t explain and just watched.

The girl's face was red, I spat into my palms, rubbed them vigorously and said, "If that's the case, I will know this big guy..."

As I spoke, I tied the rope around my waist and told the young master to tie the other end of my body to the trunk of a thick stone tree just in case. The snake that turned into me just now almost killed me when I was hit by it, but this time it won’t happen.

Dare to take it lightly. The girl said this thing won't eat people, but she can't guarantee that it won't hit me to death.

After everything was ready, I crawled towards the snake again along the uneven rocks. The big guy stared at me with a pair of big ghostly eyes.

I gently pulled out the ancient bronze sword and just looked at it. After a moment of stalemate, I still didn't dare to come near. The unscrupulous young master behind me shouted loudly, "Old Xu, don't just talk and don't practice. Hurry up!"

I was holding back a lot of depression. Come on, he thought it was a little water snake in the ditch. I could definitely cut it in half with one strike of my sword? This is a monster that has been recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

I held up the ancient bronze sword and just moved it, but the beast turned its head and came towards me. I was so angry that I almost hit him to death, but the young master was still shouting behind me, as if he was afraid that the snake's ears would not be able to hear. I saw it.

I was reluctant to take action, and the young master didn't know what kind of nerve he had, but he took a bow, crossbow, and bamboo arrow and pointed it at the snake's head just like that.

I never thought that the young master would actually know this recklessness. Now that I am within the attack range of the transformed snake, he is so reckless that he can't reach him if he transforms into a snake. But what should I do? But now that the young master has moved his hand, I see the bamboo arrows piercing the air with sharp points.

He shot at the transformed snake with a loud voice and immediately raised the ancient bronze sword to slash the transformed snake's head.

Our ancestors taught that when you shoot a man, you shoot a horse first and catch a thief first. So if you want to cut down the transformed snake, you naturally have to cut down on its most critical parts. But I never thought that the transformed snake could not even look at it.

Without looking, the bamboo arrow shot by the young master hit my ancient bronze sword like a madman.

I was shocked but then I calmed down. My ancient bronze sword was an ancient divine weapon, so who was afraid of it? I immediately faced him without any hesitation.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and my sword seemed to have hit the same metal object, and a bunch of sparks flew out. What's even more terrible is that I was just standing on the uneven stone, but now I was violently turned into a snake.

As soon as I hit it, I almost lost my footing and fell down. Even so, I still managed to stabilize my body in a hurry.

What surprised me was that the snake didn't take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and just stared at me coldly with a pair of ghostly eyes.

Only after I stabilized my body did I have the opportunity to look at the transformed snake. I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw it. The ancient bronze sword in my hand could easily cut off an iron chain, but when I was in close combat with the transformed snake just now, I actually...

I couldn't hurt it at all. This guy is really not an ordinary guy with rough skin and thick flesh. No wonder it ignored the young master's bamboo arrows and didn't pay attention at all.

"Cough...cough..." The girl coughed twice so hard that her heart was lifted. She turned around and looked at her, only to see her bent over with a very painful look on her face. I knew I had no time to delay any longer and raised my head immediately.

He wielded the ancient bronze sword and struck the snake on the head again.

The beast swung its head and actually used the horn on its head to meet the ancient bronze sword in my hand. There was a loud "bang" sound. The ancient bronze sword in my hand collided with the snake's horn and once again a string of sparks flew out.

The shock made my arms go numb and the beast kept shaking its head. I never thought that its horn was so hard. I thought, how could I cut it off if it was so bad?

As I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but lower my head to look at the girl and the young master, but I saw the girl gesturing towards me. When I was stunned, the girl noticed that she was busy holding a flashlight to shine at the tail of the snake.

I was stunned and immediately understood what the girl meant. She wanted me to use my sword to chop down the stone tree connected to the tail of the transformed snake instead of attacking the transformed snake. But is this useful? What's the use of cutting down the stone tree if I don't kill the transformed snake?

And how can I cut down this stone tree that is so huge?

The girl kept gesticulating at me from below. I looked at it twice more and then realized that the girl actually asked me to chop down the part where the snake is connected to the stone tree, that is, the part where the snake is petrified.

To be honest, the current situation of the snake is very strange. One part is a living body, but the other part is a petrified stone tree. This is far beyond my understanding of animals. Since the girl asked me to cut off that part, she had a reason and the snake Its head is so hard that I can't cut it unless I can damage its vital parts.

Like a gecko, I crawled on the uneven stone wall and climbed into the snake. I could feel the big black mouth, the forked tongue, even the dark fangs, and the dense scales all within reach.

Suddenly there was a loud "swish" sound beside me, and a bamboo arrow was shot towards the transformed snake with its ghostly eyes. It lowered its head slightly, and I couldn't miss the opportunity. I didn't even care about the danger, so I rushed to the transformed snake's side and faced it. The part where it connected to the stone tree was slashed with a sword.

There was a loud "bang" and an extremely smelly liquid spurted out. Naturally, I was on the stone wall and had no time to escape. I was sprayed all over my head and face, and even a few drops splashed into my mouth. It was extremely disgusting. The transformed snake turned around, twisted its body, and pounced on me. I didn't bother to wipe the snake blood from my face and hurriedly swung the ancient bronze sword at it and slashed at it again.

This ancient bronze sword was indeed a divine weapon. The first sword severely injured the transformed snake, and with the second sword, the transformed snake's body twisted and fell straight down. I cut off the transformed snake so easily.

It seems too easy. If this is the case, the ancient spiritual beast that the girl talked about seems to be nothing strange. I thought to myself and couldn't help but glance at the tumbling snake falling downwards. But this look made my hair stand on end. .I clearly saw that beast actually smiling.

Yes, that beast is smiling with a ferocious smile. It is indescribably terrifying. It seems that I cut off its body, not to kill it but to fulfill it.

"Rumble...Rumble..." I didn't have time to think about anything before the huge body of the transformed snake fell down and at the same time, the entire stone tree began to tremble.

"Oh no, this stone tree is about to collapse!" The young master yelled and at the same time, he pulled the girl and ran towards me.

Just now, the tail of the snake was connected to the stone tree. Now the snake was cut off by my sword. A dark hole appeared at the port and I don't know where it leads. Could it be that this hole is the way out that the girl said?

There was no time for us to think about it. It seemed that the entire tomb was collapsing. I called to the young master and asked him to quickly enter the cave with the girl. The young master used a flashlight to shine into the dark part of the cave and didn't know where it led. But the young master had no idea. He rushed in without hesitation and turned around to pull the girl in as well.

Countless gravels above my head fell like raindrops. The originally majestic and tall stone tree now collapsed extremely quickly like a decaying wall. I waved an ancient bronze sword in one hand to protect it. Although his head and face were in critical condition, he was hit by rocks several times and almost lost his ability to stand and fell off the stone wall.

The girl turned around and urged again and again. But I was uneasy in my heart. When I turned into a snake and fell down, the ferocious smile looked like a single army, and the weird and ferocious smile on the faces of Wang Quansheng and others after they died. The moment I jumped into the cave. The stone tree behind me has completely collapsed and the entrance to the cave behind me has been blocked by huge rocks. We have no way to retreat. No matter what is in this cave, it is our only way at the moment.

The cave was so small that we couldn't even stand straight inside, so we could only hunched over. The young master was at the front, the girl followed behind, and I walked at the back.

The young master held up the flashlight tube and took a photo of the cave. There was darkness in front of him, as if leading to the underworld, and the cave was so small that people inside felt an indescribable depressing feeling.

The three of us groped forward and I couldn't help but ask the girl how she knew there was a passage behind the snake. The girl said that according to the architecture of the tomb, no matter what era the tomb was in, it was impossible to create a dead end, which was a big taboo.
To be continued...
