Chapter 102 Hydra Cypress
"good!"
Pei Shaoling said softly, his voice calm, "My lady, please don't move. Let me see how to break this mechanism!"
"good."
Qiao Qiqi didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of triggering some mechanism.
Pei Shaoling looked at the steps around the stone tablet with a flashlight in his hand, and after turning around a few times.
He suddenly turned his gaze to the stone tablet again.
He flipped in the air and pressed the top of the stone tablet with one hand!
Afterwards, he returned to Qiao Qiqi's side.
At this time!
Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling heard a loud cracking sound.
The two of them quickly took several steps back.
I saw that the stone tablet and the steps moved back several steps as a whole, revealing a huge black hole!
"Husband, you are so amazing!"
Looking at the cave entrance, Qiao Qiqi praised Pei Shaoling.
Pei Shaoling didn't say anything. He took Qiao Qiqi's hand and looked at the black hole carefully.
All I saw in the black hole were steps winding down into the darkness.
Pei Shaoling looked at the environment around the steps again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he pulled Qiao Qiqi down the steps.
The stone tablets around the steps are actually painted with wonderful colorful paintings.
The characters in the painting are lifelike.
"Husband, look, this painting seems to be telling a story!"
Qiao Qiqi pointed at the painting and said to Pei Shaoling.
"Well, the emperor of the previous dynasty was not only proficient in the art of mechanical engineering, but was also obsessed with the art of cultivation."
Pei Shaoling looked at the murals on the wall and said, "This depicts the story of him becoming an immortal after his death. He must have made it up himself."
"Oh, okay!"
Qiao Qiqi shrugged and followed Pei Shaoling down the stairs.
I don’t know how long it took, but Qiao Qiqi felt the air was becoming more and more humid.
Are we about to reach the underground river?
Suddenly!
She felt like she stepped on something!
It's bumpy and makes a crackling sound!
When I took a closer look with the flashlight, I found that it was actually a small piece of bone!
At this moment, Pei Shaoling also stopped and looked quietly at the scene in front of him!
Qiao Qiqi walked forward with the flashlight and took a deep breath again!
The white bones in front of me looked like a mass grave!
"Don't be afraid. This is probably where the emperor killed all the craftsmen who worked on his tomb to keep it secret!"
Pei Shaoling patted her back soothingly and spoke.
"Um!"
Qiao Qiqi forced herself to calm down.
Ever since she entered the book, her heart has been shaken time and time again.
Her heart is also becoming stronger and stronger.
She is no longer the little girl who cried secretly when being scolded in the live broadcast room.
"So what do we do now?"
Looking at the pile of bones blocking the way in front of her, Qiao Qiqi asked in a low voice.
"Hold on to me, I'll take you there!"
Pei Shaoling put his arm around Qiao Qiqi's waist and passed straight over the bones.
Afterwards, an underground river appeared in front of them!
The river is very shallow and you can see many fish and shrimps in it.
Unfortunately, Qiao Qiqi doesn’t dare to do it now.
After all, this is an underground river in the tomb!
And there were white bones not far away from her.
She couldn't eat the fish and shrimp in such an environment.
"Madam, wait here for a moment. Let me see if there is a road on the other side!"
Pei Shaoling whispered something to Qiao Qiqi and flew towards the other side of the river.
"good!"
Qiao Qiqi looked at the surroundings vigilantly and responded in a low voice.
When Pei Shaoling crossed the river, the whole air became quiet.
It's so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat.
Suddenly!
Qiao Qiqi felt as if something had patted her shoulder!
Emma!
Could it be something weird?
Feeling that thing behind her patted her again, Qiao Qiqi didn't dare to look back and just took two steps forward.
unexpectedly!
She actually found herself unable to move forward!
When he looked down, he found that his feet were entangled by two snake heads!
"Ah! Shao Ling!"
Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but scream in fright.
A large machete appeared in her hand, and she turned around and chopped at the two snakes!
At this moment, the thing behind her also moved!
It was wrapped around her waist directly!
Oh my god!
Qiao Qiqi was so frightened that she waved her machete in panic and chopped at the three big snakes.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't chop the opponent.
Her legs and waist were still tightly wrapped.
And the strength around the waist is getting tighter and tighter!
I feel like my waist is about to break!
At this time, a figure flew over from not far away, with a silver light!
Qiao Qiqi knew it was Pei Shaoling, and quickly called out, "Husband, save me, there's a big snake!"
Pei Shaoling swung his soft sword straight at the three snake bodies that were wrapped around Qiao Qiqi.
After a few whooshes, Qiao Qiqi quickly loosened the strength around her waist and feet.
She quickly took two steps forward and escaped from the confinement.
The three figures that were chopped off by Pei Shaoling also left quickly!
Only then did Qiao Qiqi breathe a sigh of relief and threw herself straight into Pei Shaoling's arms.
"My dear, are you okay?" Pei Shaoling hugged Qiao Qiqi back and asked softly.
There was a tremor in his voice.
Almost!
I almost lost her!
Qiao Qiqi shook her head. "I'm fine! Your sword is so powerful! I couldn't even chop it with my machete just now!"
"Well, your machete is forged from ordinary iron, while my soft sword is made from the most precious materials by the world's number one swordsmith. They can't be compared."
Pei Shaoling explained softly.
"Oh, no wonder!"
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly.
At this moment, she found that the snake head that had just wrapped around her feet looked a little weird!
Letting go of Pei Shaoling, she shone the flashlight on the snake's head and said, "Husband, look, this doesn't look like a real snake!"
I saw the snake head on the ground, which turned out to be a piece of dark brown wood!
It’s just that the texture on this wood looks very much like the pattern on the snake’s body.
"This is Hydra Cypress!"
After carefully observing the texture of the wood, Pei Shaoling said softly.
"Hydra cypress? I think I've heard it somewhere before!"
Qiao Qiqi thought a little confusedly, what a familiar name!
By the way, it appeared in the TV series about tomb raiders!
However, it seems that the vine head photographed by others is not like this, but looks like a hand. Why does this look so much like a snake head?
"The Hydra Cypress is a legendary creature, a symbiotic tree! The snake head you saw earlier is real, and it only turns into wood after being cut off! This Hydra Cypress is also known as the Tree of Death!"
Pei Shaoling explained quietly, "Ancient books record that this tree only grows in places of death, where the air is thick with death. It seems that too many people have died here!"
"All right!"
Qiao Qiqi nodded with lingering fear, "Have you found the way across the river?"
"No."
Pei Shaoling said softly, "Let's look in the direction where the Hydra Cypress just retreated!"
