Xiong Bailing grabbed the homemade big torch. The two to three hundred kilogram torch weighed lightly in his huge hands, as if it was not much heavier than straw. He put the big torch on the torch inserted on the incense burner and tied it.

The scriptures inside were soaked in strong wine and were immediately ignited, with blazing flames flying into the air.

Xiong Bailing held a torch in one hand and walked towards the steps of the cave with long strides. Sima Rulan also picked up a smaller homemade torch, lit it up, and followed Xiong Bailing towards the entrance of the cave.

Got inside.

Seeing the two of them disappearing from sight along the stone steps in the cave, Hua Bushi stood by the cave with a frown on his face, a look of worry on his face.

Although he has already explained everything he knows, and with his ability, he cannot do more, the giant snake under the cave is really a rare beast in the world. Is it really like ordinary snakes?

Being afraid of fire is a common trait among snakes, but the young master suddenly felt as if he was completely unsure.

If his judgment was wrong, then Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan holding torches and walking into the snake's den would undoubtedly be the same as sending themselves to death! And even if what he had expected was correct, given the terrifying nature of the giant snake, could the two of them be able to do so?

It was completely unknown to rescue Xiong Tiannan from the snake's mouth!

Hua Bushi has always been calm and decisive in dealing with things. At certain times, he is even a little ruthless. He has always been very confident in his own judgment, and in fact he rarely makes mistakes. Just because Hua Bushi is very clear, calm and confident.

It is the most important quality of a person in charge. Needless worry and worry are not only useless, but will also lead to confusion and mistakes.

But at this moment, he seemed to have lost these two qualities. Not only was he worried to death, but he was also extremely afraid of making mistakes and had doubts about his own judgment. In fact, he couldn't even control his emotions.

.

He didn't know exactly why there was such a change. Of course it wasn't because of Xiong Bailing, could it be because of Sima Rulan?

Hua Bushi originally thought that Sima Rulan could only be regarded as a good friend at best, and he had never harbored any undue thoughts toward her. Even when Chai Lin proposed marriage to his father, he refused to accept it. However, once upon a time, this

Miss Lan'er was so important in the young master's mind that Hua Bushi could not keep calm because of his concern for her.

This kind of concern is obviously more than simple friendship.

Hua Bushi was in a confused state of mind and walked around the stone platform several times with his hands behind his back. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. He reached out and pulled out the torch from the incense burner, held it in his hand and walked towards the cave.

This is definitely not a wise move, and Hua Bushi is very clear in his heart, but sometimes people's reason cannot overcome emotions. At this time, all he can think about is the safety of Sima Rulan in the cave, and other things

Everything has been forgotten.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When Hua Bushi decided to enter the cave, Sima Rulan had already reached the bottom of the stone steps. Xiong Bailing was ten steps away from her. Both of them were holding torches, but they stood there and did not dare to move.

.

Not far below the stone steps is the underground lake, with many stone pillars and stalagmites standing unevenly beside it. In front of these rocks, there is the giant snake!

This time, the torches held by the two men were much larger than before, illuminating the cave even brighter. The giant snake also crawled from the lake to the shore, and could be seen more clearly under the reflection of the fire.

The whole body of this giant snake is black and shiny. Its body is thicker than a large barrel and is coiled around the lake, like a hill. Its triangular snake head is raised high, and its two eyes that emit blood-red light are like two lanterns. They are flat.

The snake letter was spitting in its big mouth, making a "hissing" sound.

Although this snake does not have wings, there are not many people who would doubt that it is an ancient mythical beast. Just because of its huge size and vicious appearance, it really exceeds the limit of ordinary people's understanding of snakes.

.Compared with this giant snake, an ordinary python would be like a small earthworm crawling in the mud!

Xiong Tiannan was lying face down among the rocks, moving and not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The place where he lay was surrounded by stalagmites and stone pillars, but the head of the giant snake was bigger than a millstone and it was difficult to reach out.

You have to go in. This is probably the reason why Xiong Tiannan has never been swallowed by the giant snake.

Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan had already seen where Xiong Tiannan was, but it was not easy to get to him because the giant snake was right in front of the rocks, blocking them between them and Xiong Tiannan.

Two people and a snake were facing each other on the lake. The only sounds in the space were the hissing sound of the giant snake and the sound of burning torches in their hands.

Of course, this confrontation cannot last long. Although the homemade torch soaked in strong alcohol can burn for a while, it will burn out soon. By then, let alone saving Xiong Tiannan, Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan will probably be unable to save themselves.

If you want to rescue Xiong Tiannan, you must drive away the giant snake as soon as possible! But let alone drive away this giant snake now, even approaching it or even taking a look at it is enough to make people frightened.

Sima Rulan's eyes were full of fear. Women are naturally less courageous than men. Facing such a terrifying giant snake, an ordinary girl would have been so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. How could she stand still?

It is very rare to shrink back.

Relatively speaking, Xiong Bailing was much more courageous. He said in a deep voice: "Niece Lan'er, it seems that Master Hua is right. This giant snake is afraid of fire like ordinary snakes. Otherwise, if it notices us approaching, it will

It must have attacked us a long time ago! Now that we are holding the torch and advancing forward, we should be able to force it to retreat!"

Sima Rulan gritted her teeth and summoned up the courage to say, "Okay! Uncle Xiong just moves forward, and Lan'er will definitely follow!"

Both of them held the torches in front of them and walked forward slowly, walking towards the giant snake step by step. Facing the two burning torches, the giant snake really began to restless, and its coiled body began to tremble.

Apparently feeling threatened, the "hissing" sound coming from his mouth and nose was louder than before.

When the two came within two feet, the giant snake finally began to retreat, its huge body twisting and moving backwards.

Seeing that the method was working, Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan became energetic and continued to advance step by step, forcing the giant snake to retreat, and finally retreated to the lake. Seeing that if they took a few steps forward, they could drive it to the lake.

If you go inside, you can easily rescue Xiong Tiannan who fell among the rocks.

But at this moment, the giant snake's thick body suddenly rolled up and slammed onto the lake. There was a burst of water splashing down on the approaching torch like a heavy rain!

Perhaps because of its long lifespan of hundreds of years, this giant snake seems to have developed a wisdom that ordinary beasts do not have. It still has the instinct to be afraid of fire, but it knows how to use lake water to extinguish torches. Xiong Bailing and Sima Ru

Lan's reaction was not slow at last, and she quickly retreated to avoid the splashing lake water, keeping the torch in her hand from being extinguished, but the two of them also retreated three to four feet away.

The giant snake circled upwards, moved forward three feet almost at the same time, and returned to the original position where the two sides were confronting each other. Their attempts this time were in vain. It didn't look that easy to force the giant snake away with a torch.

Seeing Xiong Tiannan lying on the rocks behind the giant snake, uncertain whether he was alive or dead, with only less than twenty feet away, but unable to cross the giant snake to save him, Xiong Bailing was helpless, and veins popped out on his forehead in panic, and now

The torches in the hands of the two of them were not burning as vigorously as before, and they were afraid that they would be extinguished soon.

"Uncle Xiong!" Sima Rulan said, "Let's try again. When we get close to the lake, let Lan'er hold a torch to hold the big snake down. Uncle Xiong will look for an opportunity and jump over to save people."

Xiong Bailing's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, but can niece Xian lift these two torches?"

Sima Rulan said: "Uncle Xiong, don't worry, Lan'er will definitely be able to lift it."

At this point, there is no other way to think of. Xiong Bailing made up his mind instantly and said: "Niece, please be careful. When I rescue Nan'er, we will leave immediately!"

The two men held torches high and advanced towards the giant snake step by step again. This time, the giant snake was even more violent than before. It opened its big mouth to reveal its long fangs and spat out long messages. It was obvious that it was not willing to retreat.

Finally. However, its ferocity was ultimately controlled by the instinct of the beast. When the torch came within two feet, the giant snake still twisted its body and moved back.

When the two of them advanced about three feet, they forced the giant snake to the lake. Xiong Bailing came to Sima Rulan's side, handed the torch to her hand, and immediately jumped out, jumped seven feet, and jumped from the giant snake's side.

It flew past him and threw himself into the rocks on the side.

Sima Rulan took the torch and raised it above his head with all his strength. The two homemade large torches together weighed more than three hundred kilograms. Sima Rulan had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her wrist strength was stronger than that of ordinary people, but at this time her hands were weak.

It was extremely difficult to hold up a large torch. She stood there and managed to hold on, but it was difficult to move anymore. She just hoped to force the giant snake to prevent it from jumping over.

Xiong Bailing flew into the rocks in the blink of an eye. The giant snake was attracted by the fire in front of him and seemed not to notice his actions. As Hua Bushi said before, this giant snake is different from ordinary snakes.

Like other species, their eyesight and hearing are not strong, but they are very sensitive to light and heat.

Xiong Bailing stretched out his giant palm and grabbed Xiong Tiannan who was lying on the ground. He held him under his armpits and immediately turned around and ran back. At the same time, he shouted: "Niece Lan'er, let's evacuate quickly!"
