Chapter 172 Wu Sansheng’s signal, the city’s shadow on the swamp
But the focus of others is not on the antique jades, but on the ancient tomb below.
Chen Wenjin said: "Is there anything in the tomb of the high priest of the Kingdom of the Western Queen?"
Jiang Hua said: "I have moved out all the valuable things, but there is nothing else. By the way, there are still a few rice dumplings that I have made. Do you want to take a look?"
No one spoke.
What’s so good about zongzi?
Only Chen Wenjin seemed a little eager to go down and have a look.
However, Jiang Hua said: "Let's go. It will get dark again later. Let's leave here quickly and go find the underground palace of Queen Mother of the West. There will definitely be more good things in it."
Wang Banyue put all those things into his pocket and hurriedly followed Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua didn't say anything, because he knew that when he went out, Wang Banyue would exchange these good things for money, and most of them were handed over to him.
Therefore, Jiang Hua is not in a hurry.
Everyone continued to walk deeper, and after walking for a while, they encountered many ruins of ancient cities, and even saw some caves with many statues inside.
Seeing this, Jiang Hua knew that they were getting closer to the underground palace.
After everyone inspected some stone sculptures, they suddenly saw a red smoke coming from the depths!
When Pan Zi saw the smoke, his expression suddenly changed: "No, something happened to Master San and the others!"
"Pan Zi, don't talk nonsense!"
Wu Xie became anxious. He also saw the smoke. When Pan Zi said this, he also became anxious.
Pan Zi said: "I'm not talking nonsense! That smoke is the signal that Master San and I have decided!"
"Pan Zi is right, the smoke is for us to wake up."
At this time, the black blind man also said.
Wu Xie became even more anxious. He said, "What does this mean?"
Pan Zi took out several pills of different colors from his pocket and said: "Only Mr. San and I have this kind of smoke ball, which is specially used to convey messages. Yellow means there is danger ahead, so be careful when moving forward! Orange If it is, we must stop moving forward and wait for confirmation. If it is red, it means that the front is extremely dangerous and we must not move forward anyway.”
Wu Xie's expression changed: "Doesn't that mean that Third Uncle and the others are very dangerous now? Let's go find the smoke!"
However, Pan Zi grabbed Wu Xie and said: "Little Third Master, you can't go in. It's too dangerous inside. All of you should not go in. I can go there alone!"
Wu Xie said: "How is this possible! I don't know what dangers there are inside. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if you go there alone?"
Pan Zi said: "It's precisely because you don't know what the danger is that you can't go in. Even the third master can't solve the danger. If you go in, you will probably fall into it! The third master is kind to me, I must go and see it." Look!”
At this time, Wang Banyue said: "I say Da Pan, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe your Third Master accidentally threw the red smoke ball in. You see, we have been here for more than a day, except for that one Other than the big snake, what dangers have you encountered?”
Before Pan Zi could speak, Zhang Qiling said calmly: "That's because you are being protected."
Wang Banyue was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Are we encountering some other dangers?"
Chen Wenjin said: "Last night, groups of cockscomb snakes, at least hundreds of them, surrounded us. If Jiang Hua hadn't scared away those cockscomb snakes, I'm afraid none of us would have survived."
< br>
Wang Banyue's eyes widened: "I'll go, is it true or not?"
Chen Wenjin said nothing, but she obviously acquiesced.
Wang Banyue's scalp felt numb.
Of course he has heard of cockscombs. They are something more unique than cobras. They are very smart. However, they still live in groups and crawl faster than cobras. The most important thing is their venom. It takes less than thirty seconds to bite. He must die!
If you are really surrounded by cockscomb snakes, you don't have to live.
Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by cockscomb snakes last night.
Wang Banyue broke into a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Jiang Hua said: "Don't worry about it. There are a lot of cockscomb snakes everywhere in this rain forest. Unless you leave the rainforest before dark, you will be attacked by cockscomb snakes anywhere once it gets dark. Do you think that with the current situation? At this time, is it possible to escape from the rainforest? So we have to act together.”
After hearing what Jiang Hua said, Pan Zi didn't say anything more.
So, the group continued walking towards the red smoke.
The red smoke looked not far away, but actually walking down it took far longer than everyone expected. The sun had set, it was already dark, and no one had reached Wu Sansheng and the others.
I had no choice but to find another place to rest for the time being.
Still following the previous method, everyone was smeared with mud before they dared to sleep.
However, something unexpected happened this time.
Jiang Hua was still guarding the first shift, but not long after Wu Xie and the others lay down, they heard a strange sound coming from a big tree.
Then, a "Little Third Master" sounded.
It was already quiet here, but as soon as the sound rang out, Wu Xie and others naturally heard it.
"Who?"
Wu Xie climbed out of his sleeping bag and said in surprise.
Pan Zi also stood up quickly and said excitedly: "It must be the third master's person!"
Wu Xie was also a little excited, because the only people who called him "Little Third Master" were the guys under his third uncle!
At this time, the voice of "Little Third Master" sounded again.
Pan Zi hurriedly walked over there and shouted at the same time: "Mop, is that you?" He was about to walk towards the big tree.
However, he was held down by Zhang Qiling at this time.
Pan Zi was stunned and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Jiang Hua looked at the scene in front of him and said nothing. He knew that the person named Wu Xie was not a human at all, but one of those weird cock-snake snakes.
I didn’t expect these cockscomb snakes to still give up!
Yesterday, the siege method failed. This time, I used this insidious method to lure people over and bite them to death.
So damn insidious.
Zhang Qiling said: "If there is something strange, let's take a look first."
When Zhang Qiling said this, Pan Zi and others were shocked and did not dare to move any more.
After all, the sudden appearance of these two "Little Third Masters" in the middle of the night is a bit weird in itself. In addition, they trust Zhang Qiling very much, so they all find it weird now.
Pan Zi gritted his teeth: "Mop, is that you? If so, say something!"
However, no one spoke inside.
After a while, another "Little Third Master" came.
Now, everyone felt awkward hearing the sound. They all knew that there must be something wrong here, so they didn't dare to go inside anymore.
Everyone glanced at Jiang Hua and found that Jiang Hua was sitting in front of the campfire like nothing happened, as if he didn't hear the sounds.
Chen Wenjin frowned. She remembered that Jiang Hua was like this last night. The cockscomb snakes approached him, but he remained indifferent. In the end, the cockscomb snakes all ran away on their own.
Very weird.
What's going on today?
Pan Zi hesitated for a moment: "Master Jiang, what do you think we should do?"
Jiang Hua said: "My suggestion is, do what you should do, sleep and keep vigil. As long as you stay safe and keep yourselves, I will not be able to do anything to you even if the King of Heaven comes."
After listening to what Jiang Hua said, Wang Banyue said: "Hey, since Mr. Jiang has said it, there must be no big problem with this matter. Let's go to bed quickly. Fatty, I'm tired."
After saying that, he got into the sleeping bag again.
Zhang Qiling also went back to sleep in the sleeping bag.
Pan Zi and Wu Xie were left looking at each other.
"Little Third Master!"
However, at this time, the voice sounded again!
At this time, Wu Xie and Pan Zi both had goosebumps!
At this time, Wang Banyue was furious. He crawled out of the sleeping bag, took out a detonator from nowhere, and cursed: "Who is in there? If you don't say anything, I will eat the detonator for you!".
As a result, there was no sound from the big tree for a long time.
"Mad! It seems he is really looking for death!"
Wang Banyue cursed angrily, took out his lighter and lit the detonator directly, then threw it into the tree.
"Boom~"
With a loud noise, the tree trunk was directly blown to collapse, and for a while it rained leaves. At the same time, cockscomb snakes that were blown into countless segments flew out, and the ground was covered with broken cockscomb snakes.
For a moment, there was a mass of flesh and blood.
Of course, many cockscomb snakes were not killed by the explosion. After being alarmed, they immediately ran around all over the ground!
When Wu Xie and others saw that there were so many cockscomb snakes, their expressions suddenly changed, and they quickly took weapons to deal with those cockscomb snakes.
Fortunately, they were all covered in mud, so no one was targeted by the cockscomb snake.
Those cockscomb snakes were blown away by a detonator and were now running all over the ground. In addition, they didn't find anyone here, so they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After all the cockscomb snakes were gone, Wu Xie and others reacted, especially Pan Zi, who looked scared!
He couldn't help but think that if he had really gone to check just now, he would have died without even knowing it!
Pan Zi looked at Jiang Hua with lingering fear on his face: "Master Jiang, thank you for reminding me just now. If it weren't for you, I might have passed!"
Although it was Zhang Qiling who stopped him, he knew that Zhang Qiling couldn't explain the reason, so he still had to go there out of concern for the third master.
Fortunately, Jiang Hua said something and he gave up his thoughts.
Wu Xie said: "Master Jiang, how did you know there was a cockscomb snake there?"
Jiang Hua said: "The cockscomb snakes here will imitate people's speech like a parrot, and then attract people to them, just like attracting prey. The word Pan Zi repeated most is "Little Third Master", so he was imitated by those cockscomb snakes."
Pan Zi said: "His grandma almost fell on these snakes. This thing is too insidious."
Everyone was deeply concerned.
After being treated like this by the Cockscomb Snake, everyone was no longer sleepy at all. They were afraid that the Cockscomb Snake was hiding somewhere and would suddenly come and give them a bite before they would fall asleep and be completely gone.
So everyone gathered around the campfire and chatted.
But in the end, they became more and more tired, and several people fell asleep leaning against the bonfire.
