Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 271 Big Stone Ditch
Xu Er leaned forward and boldly looked at the fragments of the dead man's skull under the light of the black blind man's flashlight.He discovered that the so-called long neck was actually a huge snake head.

The size of this snake head is only a circle smaller than that of a human head. For some reason, it grew together with the skull of the dead man. The flesh and blood are connected, as if there are many white bone-shaped mushrooms growing on the tongue, which looks extremely disgusting.

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Xu Er's body. Thinking of the life-saving kick of the black blind man just now, he said half-flatteringly, "This...is a snake...I thought it was a hanged ghost..."

Hei Blind heard Xu Er stutteringly strike up a conversation, and said with a smile: "This thing can't be called a snake, it's a rare two-headed anaconda. It's purely to deceive people, so it put a dead man's head on one of its heads, and finally grew It can't be taken off at all. The dead man's head is all rotten, and it has to hold this thing all the time."

Xu Er nodded half-understood, but suddenly realized: "Two... two heads? And one more head?"

The black blind man flicked the black blood on the dagger, and said: "Two heads, not double heads. This thing should be deformed, with one head on one side, and the excretory hole in the middle. Just cut off this head, and the body retracted immediately. It means it's still alive. Exhaust hole, do you know what it is?"

After all, Xu Er had worked in the county. Because of the type of work, he often went to the infirmary in the mine and even the county hospital. He naturally knew a lot of these words that sounded polite.

It's just that he didn't want to be teased by the black blind man again, so he looked worriedly at the smelly mud soaked in water all over the floor, pinched his nose and asked, "These...are they excreted after eating?"

The black blind man smiled slightly and said: "This kind of two-headed anaconda is not as convenient as a normal anaconda, snake, or python in terms of movement, so it can only be half-deceived and half-frightened by the human head as before to lure the prey. But it is more often Eating dead bodies, no matter people or animals, so it smells like dead bodies. It’s rare to meet such a fresh one like you, I guess it’s probably not willing to let it go easily.”

When Xu Er heard Heixiazi's words, he couldn't help swallowing with a "gudong", and he was really in a dilemma at this time.

The blind man beckoned and said, "Follow closely", and then walked towards the distant light spot with a flashlight.Xu Er had no choice but to follow closely behind.

The further you go to the middle of this mountain crevice, the wider the road and the stronger the water flow.The slippery moss-covered cobblestone road in the middle is constantly washed by flowing water.Fortunately, after walking for a while, there were platforms on both sides of the pebble road that were a little higher, and those pebbles were submerged by the increasingly dense water.

When they got to the middle of the crevasse, the cobblestone road had completely sunk, forming a not-so-large lake in the middle, and the water kept gushing from the springs of the lake, and overflowed to the direction they came from.

The blind man looked around and said, "It's almost there."

As soon as he finished saying this, he waved his hand and threw the dagger over the lake.Xu Er heard a rapid "hissing" sound from above the lake, and then a colossal object crashed into the lake, causing waves of spray.

Hei Xiazi quickly took off his backpack, threw the flashlight to Xu Er, and said, "Wait."

Before Xu Er could respond, the blind man jumped into the lake and disappeared in an instant.The lake began to rippling, and water splashed continuously at Xu Er's feet.

Xu Er hurriedly flashed his flashlight into the lake, but he saw the tumbling sediment in the lake mixed with gurgling red blood pouring out, and he couldn't see the scene in the lake clearly.

Xu Er backed back again and again, shrinking to the stone wall behind him, for fear that something would stick out and drag him into the tumbling blood lake.

He had an idea to run away immediately.It can be imagined that although Heixiazi threatened him all the way, he was still exchanging with him at the same price or even at a high price, and he had just saved him once, so he had to wait anxiously, praying to the gods and Buddhas and the great leader in his heart , I hope that the one who will come out next is a black blind man.

After a short while, the lake obviously calmed down, and the tumbling caused by the fight left only water ripples spreading towards the lake.

Xu Er stood up and carefully looked at the lake. With a "gulp", a blister rose from the position he was photographing.

Immediately afterwards, one after another bubbles emerged and quickly approached.Xu Er felt vaguely ominous in his heart, and the flashlight also shone along the bubble all the way to the front.

All of a sudden, a boa with a big mouth rose up from the lake and rushed straight to his face.

Xu Er was so frightened that he threw the flashlight and sat on the ground, yelling and backing away.The flashlight spun a few times on the ground, and it happened to shine on the lake.Only then did Xu Er see clearly that the anaconda's head, which was as big as a bull's head, had been severed and thrown on the edge of the stone platform.

At this time, a figure also came out of the lake with a "crash", it was a black blind man with full beard and tail.He took the dagger in his mouth and shook it in his hand, inserted it back into the scabbard, shook the water from his hair, and walked towards Xu Er with the anaconda's head in his hand.

The anaconda's head was thrown beside Xu Er. Although he was absolutely dead, Xu Er shrank away in fright.The blind man picked up the flashlight and shone it on the anaconda's head, so that Xu Er could see it more clearly.

I saw the huge anaconda's head, with webs made of sharp bony spurs growing on the cheeks and under the neck, and a row of bony spikes the length of a thumb on the top of the head.

"If this thing grows for a few hundred years, it might be able to turn into a dragon. It's a pity that if you eat too much dead human flesh and get dirty, it can only become a disaster. The skin, flesh, bones and gallbladder are also poisonous, so you can only kill it like this. "

Hei Xiazi put the backpack back on his back, as if he just killed a chicken in an understatement.

But after this effort, the road ahead seems to be completely clear, and the blind man has obviously quickened his pace.Xu Er was infected by his calm posture, and his sense of security was rekindled in his heart, and he followed behind him leisurely, walking towards the front exit.

This time, the road is getting narrower and narrower, just the opposite of when we came.When the road was only as wide as one person and there were only slippery round pebbles under the feet, the exit in front was completely clear, and there were waves of water.

Hei Xiazi ran out of the mountain pass in a few steps, and Xu Er quickly followed.I haven't seen the sun for a while, and the bright light made Xu Eryi unable to open his eyes for a while.

By the time he got used to the light, the blind man had already walked more than ten meters forward.In front of them was a river that was perpendicular to the channel of the mountain crevice. On both sides of the river bank were large rocks of various shapes, and some of them sank at the bottom of the river.Xu Er looked at the big rocks nearby, and thought that this place must probably be the legendary Big Stone Ditch.

Not far from the other side of the river, there is also a cliff hundreds of meters high.The river passed between large and small boulders, and flowed into a deep pool not far away.

The two walked to the deep pool, and saw that the pool was bottomless, surrounded by towering mountains, it seemed that there was no other way.
