Chapter 96 Snake
A thousand square meters of underground space appeared outside the entrance of the cave, and these underground spaces were all filled with a layer of woods emitting strange fluorescence.
Zuo Zhicheng and others just saw the fluorescence coming from the entrance of the cave, which was emitted from these trees.
"It's spiritual food!" Qingyueqiu looked at the woods in front of him, pointed to the fruits on the trees and said, "There are so many... so many spiritual foods, there are so many here."
"I'm afraid it's not just spiritual food." Zuo Zhicheng jumped out of the cave entrance and landed steadily in the underground space. He put down the person. Although the surroundings were a little dim under the fluorescent light, ordinary people could see things.
Zuo Zhicheng pointed to the location on the branch and said, "It seems that this is the place where they store food." On the branch were countless corpses wrapped in vines: "No wonder your first two teams disappeared, they probably broke into someone else's base camp."
Zuo Zhicheng looked around again. At the edge of the underground space, not only the hole they ran out, but also on the rock walls around them, there were more than 20 holes of various sizes. Countless vines grew along the holes, covering the entire underground space like spider webs.
While Zuo Zhicheng was observing, Tang Xianghui exclaimed and ran towards a tree.
"It's Awei and the others!"
On a tree, Awei, Liu Changding and others were wrapped in vines and hung on the tree. Tangyuan climbed up the tree with a machete, but Awei and others did not respond. Tangyuan put down the few people one by one, and found that Awei and the other had been caught and had been dead for a long time.
Although Liu Changding was unconscious, his face was rosy and his breathing was normal and he did not die.
Tangyuan said fiercely: "These monsters!"
Zuo Zhicheng was not interested in lamenting that it was normal for him to die, die teammates, and die friends. There may be the strongest people in this world, but there are absolutely no invincible people. As a fragile creature, humans will die if they make a little mistake, not to mention that Awei and the others are still far from being truly powerful.
He wiped the dust and branches on the floor and found bricks and some broken carvings.
Looking at the sad people who were still squatting beside Ah Wei, Zuo Zhicheng said: "Now is not the time to be sad. The underground passages here are well connected. I just temporarily got rid of them. Those monsters will find this place soon. We need to think of some solutions."
"What should we do?" Qingyueqiu, whose face was cold, couldn't help but look panicked at this time.
"Do you have a way to wake Liu Changding up? I see the traces of manual construction here, maybe he can find some lines."
Qing Yueqiu nodded and took out a few small bottles of potions from his arms: "I have an antidote here. Mr. Liu should have been stabbed by the small thorns on these vines and fell into a coma."
Obviously, the dead bodies here were caught by the monsters and tied up on the trees, and then starved to death a little bit or half of them. They seemed to be storing food here.
"Then let's wake him up." Zuo Zhicheng said as he jumped onto the branch a few steps: "I'll go and see what else is out nearby."
After Zuo Zhicheng said all this, he had already changed his mode and adjusted his night vision to infrared vision. Under the strafing of infrared vision, he immediately discovered the difference.
All the wrapped people or animals have died and there is almost no heat on them, but another vague human form appears underground.
"There are people underground? No..." Zuo Zhicheng thought for a while and understood: "There is a mezzanine or a secret room underground."
However, this is not what attracted Zuo Zhicheng's attention the most. What attracted him the most was a little fire. In Zuo Zhicheng's infrared sight, a purple fire was burning, just like the sun in the sky, giving people a feeling of shining on the earth and never extinguishing.
After scanning all directions and without new discoveries, Zuo Zhicheng switched to night vision mode again, and then jumped between the trunks. His speed was very fast and light, like a monkey in the jungle, moving quickly in the jungle.
Soon, he knew what the red purple fire ball that had appeared in infrared sight before was.
Standing on the branch, Zuo Zhicheng looked at the giant in front of him and took a breath in surprise.
It was a black giant snake curled together like a bun of hills. The black snake curled together, and I don’t know how long it was, but Zuo Zhicheng could clearly see that the diameter of the other party’s snake body had reached about 2 or 3 meters.
There were even black scales the size of a head on the snake's body. Seeing these scales, Zuo Zhicheng suddenly remembered the shipwreck he encountered when he first came to that world. He seemed to have seen similar scales at that time, but they were several times larger than this one.
‘What is the relationship between the two?’ But Zuo Zhicheng just thought for a moment and jumped over. Although the giant snake in front of him was lying there as if it was dead, the purple light in the infrared sight told him that the other party was obviously not dead, but concentrated the heat in his body on the snake’s head.
Zuo Zhicheng thought about the current season: "Hibernate?" He didn't know whether such a big snake still needed to hibernate, but just stepped back carefully and bit by bit.
‘Is it because I have been eating spiritual food here all the time? That’s why I have such a purple innate qi.’ Although Zuo Zhicheng is also purple, the same muscles, the number of the other party is indeed several times that of him. Whether it is power or explosive power, it is not comparable to Zuo Zhicheng.
After retreating quickly, Zuo Zhicheng ran towards Qingyueqiu and others, and he suddenly understood a problem.
‘Those monsters tied their prey here to prepare food for the snake after hibernation. It seems that the fruit of psychic energy still cannot offset the beast’s instinct for meat.’
After hibernation, Zuo Zhicheng snake will be in a very hungry state. Obviously, the meat in the woods is prepared for him.
‘You must leave here quickly, it’s dangerous. Once those monsters find us, they even wake up the snake.’
When Zuo Zhicheng rushed back to Qingyueqiu and the others, Liu Changding had already woken up.
"I don't know either." He touched his head, looking scared: "I suddenly fainted, and I'll be here when I wake up."
Qing Yueqiu frowned and said, "The vine's spikes have anesthetic effects. You should have been caught. It seems that the people in the camp were also caught after being anesthetized."
"I don't have time to study this." Zuo Zhicheng told everyone about the big snake and the holes around the underground space.
"Big Snake, monster?" Liu Changding patted his head and said, "I thought of something. What you saw may be Pluto Snake."
"Pluto Snake? What is that?" Zuo Zhicheng said.
"That was a kind of national protection beast worshipped by Amalikan. It is said that they could wander around the yin and yang worlds and manipulate the underworld. At that time, people often used living people to worship the Pluto." Liu Changding said: "It is to throw boys, girls, or young women into the hole where the Pluto snake lives. The snake will swallow them alive and then fight for the Amalikans when needed.
And those weirdos, they should be the dead bodies controlled by the Pluto Snake, and the Amalicans called them corpsemen."
‘It should be an primitive worship of powerful beasts by ancient people. However, this giant snake does seem to have some connection with those corpses. The so-called rumors of manipulating the underworld are mostly from this.’
However, she has no idea how the divine beast that had to protect the country survived thousands of years ago. Zuo Zhicheng just asked Liu Changding again and said, "Can I feel that there should be another layer under our underground space. Can you find a way to find it?"
