stay with ghosts

"Look, there's a hole here." Liu Yang, who was at the front, said suddenly.

"What kind of hole?" Professor Fan followed behind.He is in good health, and he followed this time.

The entrance of the cave is only one person high, and in some places, the head is lowered, winding and winding, with no end in sight.

Professor Fan didn’t wait for Liu Yang’s explanation, and jumped down a few steps. Regardless of his appearance in his 50s, his body is still very flexible. Standing by the side of the cave and observing, the stone at the entrance of the cave is not very smooth, but there are obvious signs of wear and tear. , Professor Fan suddenly used tweezers to add a small piece of scale, "This is a snake cave, but it's too huge. Is the snake you met back then so thick?" Professor Fan turned to ask Qin Mo, gesturing with his hand.He estimated the snake's size based on where the scales were located.

Qin Mo took a look, then shook his head, "It should be smaller."

Professor Fan nodded, and searched not far from the entrance of the cave, and found that there were traces of snakes where the stone wall had been worn away.

"There may have been a thicker snake here before, but it's gone."

"Why do you say that?" Qin Mo heard the hissing of some snakes in the cave, this is where he heard the sound was wrong, those snakes were crawling out.

"Traces, here and here, the traces show that there have been no snakes for a long time." Professor Fan said affirmatively.

"Perhaps, but I think even if there are no big snakes, there will still be small snakes." Qin Mo said, pulling Professor Fan suddenly, and he stood with his back to the entrance of the cave. "Get out of the way, the snake inside came out." He said and pulled Professor Fan back to avoid it.

Hearing his words, everyone became vigilant, but there was no snake appearing at the entrance of the cave, Qin Mo's face was a little uneasy, those hissing sounds were all around, and they carried killing intent, which was different from the warning sound he heard before.

"Nothing?" said a policeman standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Be careful." Liu Yang saw a thin thread-like thing popping out from under a rock next to the entrance of the cave.Loud reminder.The man was too late to react.On the contrary, Jiang Ye who was next to him suddenly stretched out his hand to swipe, and the thin line was divided into two sections.Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be a small snake less than one meter long.The snake body has a white triangular head.

"This is a poisonous snake." Professor Fan confirmed.

"Ah, there are also here." Suddenly a policeman yelled. With his yell, everyone seemed to wake up. They only saw snakes everywhere around the entrance of the cave, among the dry grass between the stones. They seemed to have walked into the snake. nest.The snakes are all small, white, red and black, three small snakes of a single color, all of which are poisonous.

Although panicked for a while, everyone came prepared. Professor Fan was carrying a large backpack, and suddenly pulled out a can from the side, opened it and sprayed it at the snakes.

Qin Mo only felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped, and upon careful inspection, it turned out to be a kind of condensing agent with an unpleasant smell.After thinking for a while, he moved to the outside of the encirclement, but no one noticed that those little snakes completely ignored Qin Mo and did not attack him.

The snakes were sprayed with the condensate, and their bodies slowly stiffened, and the spray also contained a drug that hypnotized the snakes.

"Many." Following Professor Fan's movements, many snakes froze, but there were some other snakes coming out of the cracks in the stone.

It took a long time before the snakes stopped appearing.

Professor Fan put down his backpack and began to check the frozen snakes. "These snakes should be produced by the mating of sea snakes and land snakes." He checked that these snakes were obviously land snakes, but they had some characteristics of sea snakes.Sea snakes have not been found to mate with land snakes so far, which is a very surprising discovery.

"How is this possible?" Liu Yang asked in disbelief.Before coming here, he had sorted out some information about snakes.There is no information on this.

"How is it impossible? Didn't the sea snake that hurt Xiao Qin walk on land? Maybe these snakes are the descendants of that sea snake. Let's go into the cave and have a look. This may be the snake's old den."

"What about the snakes?"

"Leave it alone, they need to sleep for at least five hours. We have plenty of time." Except for the first few snakes that were killed, most of the snakes were alive.

After entering the cave, Qin Mo could no longer hear the hissing sound, but he could feel the existence of snakes, and those snakes were not the little snakes before.

"Be careful, these little snakes won't be the only ones on this island." Jiang Ye reminded after seeing Qin Mo's gesture.

"There are quite a few little snakes," said a policeman.

With the strong flashlight shining on them, they quickly came to the bottom of the cave. It turned out to be a very empty place. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the rocks, illuminating the cave brightly.

"I said how those snakes appeared before." Liu Yang said suddenly.Those snakes crawled out of these gaps.A few people were injured before, and they were suddenly bitten by a snake. I'm afraid they were injured in the same way. The two who were found later fell into the cave. It's probably the same. There are all kinds of hollows under the whole mountain, who knows The rock above was loose and let people fall down.

"Before you found out, we were standing at the entrance of the cave, and those little snakes didn't come out of the cave. There were even no snakes in some places around." A policeman found something suspicious.

"Snakes also have grades. They have different smells. The snakes that come in and out of the hole are higher grades than them. Naturally, those little snakes dare not leave." Professor Fan explained.

"But there's nothing in this hole, those little snakes—ah—" A policeman was about to ask how those little snakes came out, but suddenly he stepped on the air and fell down.

"Xiao Wu—" Liu Yang yelled and rushed over, but unfortunately he didn't catch it.

"Xiao Wu?" Liu Yang heard the sound of Xiao Wu falling to the ground.

"Ah-ah--" Xiao Wu responded first, and then called out.

"what happened?"

"Snake, there is a big snake here." Xiao Wu's voice trembled, but he quickly said, "It's a snake."

"Is the place down there big?"

"Big Brother Liu, come down, there is no danger here." Xiao Wu has regained his composure.

"Well, you wait."

After tying the rope to the stone wall, everyone slid down along the rope. Professor Fan confirmed again that this was the place where the big snake entered and exited, but it was just a snake path created by itself.

Below is a cave with a height of more than five meters. The passage is two or three meters long, which is a slope. You can slide down directly. As soon as you go down, you will see a huge monster entangled in the middle of the cave. It is a dead snake, and you don’t know it. It has been weathered for a long time, and the outside is covered with stiff skin. Professor Fan is surprised, "The size of this snake is almost larger than that of the forest boa. And it is a land snake. Look at its pattern, it is not right, it is a white lip. Zhuyeqing. How did it grow so big?" Professor Fan found the problem, except that the snake had a heavier color, and other symptoms were very consistent with Zhuyeqing.

"Zhuyeqing's longest is only one meter. That's too much difference." Liu Yang shook his head, unable to believe it.

Professor Fan was also unsure, "We need to go to the laboratory to confirm this, how to get the snake up?" He was really a little worried.

"Yeah, it's too big." Liu Yang stretched out his hand and lifted it up, "It's too heavy, and one or two people can't lift it. This snake has become a mummified corpse. It's very difficult to get the whole thing out."

When Qin Mo saw the snake, his face was shocked. It took him a while to wink at Jiang Ye Feicheng. Professor Fan was right. This should be Zhuyeqing. They were going up the mountain in the morning. Hu Yichen told them, His master used to raise a bamboo leaf green. After practicing cultivation, because he liked the snake very much, he injected some real energy and spiritual energy from time to time. Gradually, the snake also entered the cultivation practice. Later, his master left and took away a few cultivated golden elixirs. The descendants of the Li family in the early stage, and the remaining descendants and servants who had just reached the aptitude of the foundation building stage were all left behind, and this Zhuyeqing was also left behind, and it is said that they stayed here.

It's just that the snake has lived long enough. Qin Mo stepped forward to take a closer look. He could feel something about the snake strangely. It didn't retain any of its cultivation base, and it didn't cultivate into a golden core. From this point of view, She has come of age.Suddenly thought of other snakes on this island, maybe the reason why it didn't leave any cultivation base was because of those little snakes.It may have reproduced during the last stages of its life.Thinking of that huge sea snake again, Qin Mo felt that he might have caught something.

"There is still a hole here." Everyone hurriedly found a way to get the snake's body out.Suddenly a policeman finds another exit, which is the same as the passage down just now, and a snake can pass through here.

The man went in to see where it led, Qin Mo suddenly thought of the voice he heard before, that there were other snakes in this cave, "Be careful."

"Ahh—" the man suddenly yelled, and Philadelphia, who was the closest to the entrance of the cave, ran in quickly, only to see that the man was already entangled by a boa constrictor.Philadelphia suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the python's seven inches, and pulled it out.Although this snake is like a boa constrictor with thick arms, it is just an ordinary snake with stronger strength.

"Ahem——" The man coughed a few times, and finally regained his composure, but then he was startled by the rustling noises around him.

Liu Yang who came in later was also shocked.I saw that in this cave, there were densely packed big snakes with thick arms.It made people feel numb just looking at it. At this moment, these snakes were all standing upright, facing these people.Like the smaller snakes, these snakes also bear some of the characteristics of sea snakes.

Qin Mo heard the hissing sound in his ear, it was a threatening sound, these snakes were on guard, but they didn't seem to plan to take the initiative to attack, maybe the snake just happened to be stepped on, so they fought back.

"Everyone, exit carefully." Liu Yang said.

Qin Mo suddenly heard a different hissing sound, which seemed to be saying, 'Dad, I smell Dad. Qin Mo felt that he was hallucinating, and then heard the hissing sound, shook his head, and threw the thought away.

'Father - it's daddy' Qin Mo felt goosebumps all over his body, and then a snake shot out from the snake group, and was entangled without him responding.

"Be careful." Jiang Ye reached out to grab the python, and Liu Yang also took out a knife.

"Wait." Qin Mo took a step back.Avoid Jiang Ye's capture.

"It's okay." Qin Mo said as he touched the snake wrapped around him.

'Dad-Dad-' Hearing the hiss of the snake, the corners of Qin Mo's mouth twitched.

Jiang Ye and Fei Cheng watched nervously. Although the snake was not as thick as other snakes, its head was also triangular. It should be a poisonous snake. It was currently entangled with Qin Mo, and they were always ready to help.

Everyone was on guard, but the snake obviously didn't attack Qin Mo, it wrapped around Qin Mo, its head kept rubbing against his neck, and the snake letter was still hesitating around his face.Although the appearance is scary, it looks like she is acting like a baby.

"Let's go out and talk." Qin Mo didn't know what to say. This snake, unlike those snakes, seemed to have a clearer mind, and its voice could be clearly distinguished by itself, as if listening to a foreign language. , unlike other snakes that only vaguely understand meaning.

Seeing Qin Mo grabbing the snake's head, everyone was still nervous, but retreated along the entrance of the cave.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they got outside, but they couldn't be happier when they saw the little snake entrenched at the entrance of the cave.

Then all eyes turned to the one hanging on Qin Mo's body. "Mo Mo, what happened to this snake?" Liu Yang asked.

"It's nothing, this snake seems to like me very much." Qin Mo couldn't possibly say that the snake regarded him as his father. "You see it didn't even attack me."

"This one has never been seen before, but its appearance is completely the appearance of a land snake, without any sea snake inheritance, but I remember that the snake that attacked you also had a plum blossom pattern." Professor Fan came to the side Said.

"Yeah." This is undeniable, it's all on the record.

"Then this snake is also a descendant of a sea snake and a land snake. Now it is almost confirmed that these snakes are the descendants of the sea snake and the land snake below. But this snake does not have the characteristics of a sea snake. You can see that its body color has also inherited Land snakes, but the patterns are a bit special, and they look more docile."

Qin Mo squinted his eyes and looked at the snake wrapped around his body. It was green as a whole, with dark green, light green, dark green scales interlaced neatly, and two pairs of five-petaled yellow-green plum blossom-shaped patterns on the back. It looks really beautiful. Although it is not emerald green, the colors formed by various greens form layers of halos under the sunlight.

"Go down the mountain first, let the city send boats and people." Liu Yang thought for a while and said, the situation here is beyond their expectations. There are so many snakes, I don't know how to deal with them, and it will take a lot of effort to get the big snakes back. . "And should this snake be put back?" Liu Yang was afraid that the snake would hurt Qin Mo.

"It's okay, you see it's quite honest." Indeed, the snake only barked a few times, then wrapped itself around his body and lay on his shoulder.

Liu Yang thought for a while and said, "You can take it with you, but you will put it in a cage." They came and brought some snake traps.

"Yeah." Qin Mo nodded. In fact, he didn't know why he brought this snake. It wasn't because the snake called him his father. Maybe he was regarded as his father because of the smell of the basilisk on his body.What he wanted to know was why the snake's hiss could be clearly understood by him, unlike other snakes that only vaguely understood the meaning.

"This snake is so beautiful." When he arrived at the station, Hu Yichen looked at the snake and said.But he didn't notice that the corners of Qin Mo's mouth twitched suddenly, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"What's wrong?" Hu Yichen asked when he noticed his strangeness.

Qin Mo shook his head, the snake on his body suddenly moved, crawling towards Hu Yichen.

"Hey, this snake is very interesting, and it really knows how to get close to people." Chenchen smiled and put the snake on her body. He has always been very sensitive and can sense the malice of humans or animals, but there is no malice on this snake. It's a strange feeling to be so close and snuggle.

Feng Mo pursed his lips and suppressed a smile. He didn't want to tell Hu Yichen that the snake kept calling her mother.

Stretching out his hand to touch the tail of the snake, Qin Mo felt that he had to figure out why the snake recognized him and Hu Yichen as parents.Or even more strangely, why does a snake have a feeling of dependence on its parents similar to a human child.How did this feeling come about?
