Chapter 801 The Man Spit Out by the Snake
After falling into the underground river, the roaring water flowed down from above my head and enveloped me directly under the water. I held my breath, moved my limbs, and slowly moved away from the place where the water flowed down, and then slowly poked my head out from under the water.
"Hu..."
I exhaled a long breath, and then squinted my eyes and looked around.
I saw that the place where I was at the moment was a bit like an underground cave, and a bit like a mine. In short, the space was very wide, and the underground river I was in at this time almost occupied most of the space of the cave, with only a small part of the riverbed exposed.
The water in the underground river is much cooler than the water in the deep pool. Even I can't soak in the water for a long time. I turned my head and looked around. After seeing that there was nothing unusual around, I slowly climbed onto the riverbed.
I shook off the water on my body, then squinted my eyes and looked around.
This cave is extremely deep, and I don't know where it leads to. In front of me and behind me, there is an endless dark underground river, so I am not sure which direction Li Qinghai and his companions went.
"Sima Cuo's tomb is located halfway up the mountain. Logically, we should go up." I turned my head and looked behind me, but then shook my head.
I can be sure that the direction behind me is the direction of Xu Village, which means that if I go back, I will only get farther and farther away from Sima Cuo's tomb.
In this case, I can only go forward and follow the flow of the underground river.
But as we all know, underground rivers flow to lower places. If I follow the underground river, the terrain will definitely get lower and lower, and the distance to Sima Cuo's tomb will definitely get farther and farther.
"Is there another fork in the road ahead?" I frowned and thought, never mind, I'll just walk and see. I
don't know how this cave was formed. The further I go, the wider the space becomes. At first, the place where I landed could only accommodate two cars running side by side, but as I went deeper and deeper, I found that there was no problem for four trucks to run side by side. The most important thing is that as the cave becomes wider and wider, the underground river does not become wider, and it remains the same as before.
I thought it was strange. Before, I always thought that this cave was formed by the underground river over the years, but now it seems that it was not.
But if it was not washed out by the underground river, how was this cave formed?
What is its purpose?
The further I walked, the more confused I became. After walking for about ten minutes, the cave in front of me became wider.
Before, the entire underground river almost occupied the entire space of the cave, but now, the cave is so wide that the underground river looks like a small stream. The space is so large that it can almost accommodate an airplane.
And I found that there are obvious traces of excavation on the rock wall of this cave. The traces are very irregular, and it is obvious that it was excavated with brute force.
"Could it be... that it was dug when Sima Cuo's mausoleum was being built? But what was the purpose of digging such a large underground cave?"
If such a large cave was dug by manpower, the amount of work would be much greater than building a mausoleum. If there was no special need, it would be impossible for someone to spend so much effort to dig a cave here.
I stood there, squinting my eyes and carefully looking around. The next second, my eyes suddenly froze, because I suddenly saw that something seemed to move suddenly in the darkness not far ahead.
But the distance was too far, and it was too dark here, so I couldn't see what that thing was. I could only vaguely see a huge outline, lingering in the darkness.
I raised my hand and pressed it on the Miao Dao at my waist. I walked forward carefully for about 30 meters. When I got closer, I could see the thing in the dark clearly.
It was a snake, a huge snake that was more than 10 meters long! Oh
my God.
People have a natural fear of cold-blooded creatures such as snakes and spiders. When I saw the giant snake coiled on the riverbed, my heart skipped a beat. I felt like I had been electrified. The hair on my body stood up. My heart was instantly raised to my throat.
I saw that the snake was more than ten meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh. At this moment, I saw its huge body stretched out and stretched across the riverbed. Its mouth opened and closed from time to time, and its tongue kept spitting out. The hissing sound kept echoing in the empty cave.
I was secretly shocked, thinking that this was underground, how could there be a snake, and such a big one?
The most important thing is that according to the habit of snakes, most of them would coil up when they rest, but this snake did not. The sturdy body stretched out naturally on the riverbed, and its tail even slapped from time to time.
But then, my heart skipped a beat, because I finally knew why the snake did not coil up.
I saw that the snake's belly was bulging so high that it was about to burst.
Moreover, the shape of the bulge was very strange, a long strip. It felt as if the snake had swallowed a huge object that was thicker than itself.
"Did it just eat? But... what could a creature of this shape be?"
The next moment, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I thought, damn, could this snake have just swallowed a person?
Almost as soon as I thought of this, I saw the snake's belly suddenly bulge, as if the creature it swallowed was still alive and struggling violently in its stomach.
As its belly suddenly swelled, the snake began to twitch violently, its mouth opened wide, and it let out a series of strange cries.
Then, its body began to wriggle back and forth, and as its body squirmed, the long object began to slowly slide towards its mouth.
A few seconds later, I heard a "wow" sound, and a sticky mass was vomited out by the giant snake. After vomiting out the mass, the snake's raised head also fell to the ground and never moved again.
"Dead?" I was secretly shocked, thinking, what on earth was this thing that was vomited out?
I quietly walked forward a few steps, and when I saw the vomited mass clearly, I was like being struck by lightning, and I froze in an instant.
Because what was vomited out by the snake was actually a person!
And I have seen this person before. It is the young man who followed Li Qinghai before and carried the sword box!
