Chapter 8 Parseltongue

"How is the situation inside?" Ye Bai asked.

"It's an empty tomb. There's nothing left in it. It's a pity. The size of the main tomb is not that of a small tomb. There are definitely a lot of treasures buried with it." Wu Guangyuan patted the dirt on his body and said regretfully.

Although the tomb was empty, Wu Guangyuan still took out a jade ring, saying that it was picked up from a corner, perhaps left in a hurry by the previous group of tomb robbers.

Ye Bai took the white ring and looked at it, but didn't see anything.

"It's from the Ming Dynasty. It has good quality and is engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns. It should be used by the royal family. The price is not low." Wu Xiaoxiao's second brother also took the jade pendant and observed it for a while. He said that he was a veteran.

"Brother Beard, we also agreed in the tomb that this jade pendant can be sold for up to 70 yuan in the county town, and most people can't sell it for this price. We will spend 40 yuan to buy this jade pendant. Let's pay it back, how about it?

"Wu Guangyuan said.

Nowadays, the current situation is chaotic, but the purchasing power of one ocean is still very high. In previous years, the goods that everyone in Miao Village prepared to sell could only be sold for at most a dozen oceans.

Now, just for stealing a jade pendant, you can get 40 yuan, which makes many people excited.

Ye Bai also knew that the true value of this jade pendant was probably more than 70 oceans, but now that the initiative was in Wu Guangyuan's hands, it was difficult to negotiate the price.

If a small gain creates a gap between the two parties and makes it impossible for him to go to the grave, then the gain is really not worth the loss.

Ye Bai didn't say anything. Uncle Beard on the side thought about it, nodded, and made a decision for everyone.

The two parties negotiated a deal and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Later, at Ye Bai's request, Wu Guangyuan agreed to take him to the tomb. Wu's puppy next to him also howled and wanted to go to the tomb with him, saying that he wanted to see something.

Wu Guangyuan did not refuse. This time he brought Wu Xiaowu to rob the tomb just to train him. Even if Wu Xiaowu didn't say anything, he would take the initiative to take Wu Xiaowu to the tomb.

The cave is very narrow, and there is dirt and debris falling from time to time.

The three of them walked for about a few minutes before they saw the main chamber of the tomb.

The robbery hole was opened above the main tomb chamber, and Ye Bai and the other three entered slowly along the rope.

"It's a pity that a lot of the main tomb has collapsed, especially the passages leading to other tombs have completely collapsed, otherwise we wouldn't have gained this much." Wu Guangyuan said with regret.

The main tomb is a circular space, surrounded by eight stone pillars supporting the space, and the opened coffin is placed on the high ground in the middle.

It seems that there is nothing left inside, probably not even the corpses. After all, the mummies in the tombs are now worth a lot of money, no less expensive than those exposed objects.

If the identity of the tomb owner is known, the price of the mummy will increase several times.

In addition, there are crossbow arrows scattered on the ground. It seems that there are still many mechanisms left in the tomb.

"Be careful, there may be traps that haven't been discovered yet." Wu Guangyuan was a little worried and warned the two of them.

The surrounding walls were engraved with life stories and murals of the owner of the tomb. The murals had been exposed to the air for a long time, and some parts had already become blurry. Ye Bai casually looked at it for a few times and lost interest, but Wu Xiaoxiao was lying on the wall with great interest.

Studying.

The treasure chest currently displayed on the system map is in the middle coffin. Ye Bai suppressed his excitement and walked up slowly.

Sure enough, a small colorful treasure box appeared in the empty coffin. Ye Bai found that Wu Guangyuan and Wu Xiaowu had no reaction to the colorful treasure box. It seemed that only people with the system could see the treasure box.

Pretending to study the coffin, Ye Bai opened the treasure box and a colorful light flashed by.

"Bronze Treasure Chest: The power of talent - Snake Listener, a special ability from the world of Harry Potter. It can talk to snake creatures and gain the favor of snake creatures to a certain extent."

"The gift of parseltongue? Parseltongue!"

Ye Bai looked shocked. He didn't expect that the bronze treasure chest revealed the gift of snake language. It is well known in the Harry Potter movies that in this magical world, people who can communicate with snakes are called Parseltongues.

Intrusion into the magical world?

Ye Bai had a question mark on his face. This system treasure box was beyond his expectation. The treasure box seemed to be able to unlock items from other worlds.

A bronze treasure chest can reveal Snake Whisper, so what kind of treasure can a gold treasure chest in the Bottle Mountain reveal?

Ye Bai is full of expectations.

After opening the treasure chest, Ye Bai followed Wu Guangyuan and searched the entire tomb again, only finding a few copper coins.

Unfortunately, these copper coins were public goods and not valuable. Ye Bai looked at them for a few times and then lost interest.

Looking at Wu Guangyuan and Wu Xiaowu who were still busy in the tomb, Ye Bai shook his head. He just wanted to get out of the tomb as soon as possible, find a snake, and try his snake language ability.

...

Wu Xiaowu, who went to the tomb for the first time, felt as if he had discovered his own new world when he saw the murals in the tomb. The deeds of the tomb owner depicted in the murals were like indescribable erotic pictures, which made people yearn for it.

"It's so interesting. The owner of this tomb has so many wives. I will do the same thing in the future."

After reading all the murals, Wu Xiaowu realized that Ye Bai beside him had gone somewhere. He tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Where is Brother Xiaobai?"

The dark main tomb was empty, and it seemed that even his father was nowhere to be found.

A gust of cold wind came out, and Wu Xiaowu shivered heavily.

"Dad!!" The heartbreaking voice echoed in the tomb.

"Where are you..."

"What are you doing, calling for mourning!"

Wu Guangyuan was startled, roared, and climbed out of the coffin.

"Dad, why did you climb into the coffin? Is there any treasure inside?"

"You know, baby, if you keep calling like that, I will have to remove your legs." Wu Guangyuan's face was full of anger. He found some patterns carved into the coffin and was about to take a closer look. The sound just now almost scared him half to death.

"Oh." Wu Xiaowu said angrily with an innocent look on his face.

"Where's Brother Xiaobai?"

"Brother Ye said it's too stuffy here, so he went out to get some fresh air." Wu Guangyuan replied.

"Breathable? Okay...but why do you call me brother Xiaobai? What will happen to me?" Wu Xiaowu pouted his face and was a little dissatisfied when he heard Wu Guangyuan's name.

"Get out of here! You can call me whatever I want, it's none of your business." Wu Guangyuan glared and shouted.

Hearing Wu Guangyuan's angry scolding, Wu Xiaowu curled his lips and said, "I don't know who I learned from when I curse people every day. I will tell my mother when I get home."

"What are you muttering about?" Hearing the sound, Wu Guangyuan turned his head.

"No...it's nothing. I said it's too stuffy down there, and I want to go back." Wu Xiaoxiao came to the entrance of the robbery cave, pulled the rope, and prepared to climb up.

"Wait a minute, San'er, tell me, dad, how did you find this cave?" Wu Guangyuan stopped Wu Xiaowu. He felt that it was such a coincidence that he found this cave, and he had always been puzzled.

Now that Ye Bai is not here, it is time to ask the matter clearly.

"Brother Xiaobai said that there are squirrels here. Dahuang and I discovered this burrow after we came over." Wu Xiaoxiao said honestly, as if he thought of something, and then said: "Dad, you don't doubt Brother Xiaobai, right?"

"Your father and I have traveled all over the world for most of our lives, so I can't make mistakes when it comes to people. This little brother Ye is not an ordinary person. He was so excited when he was up there that he wanted to see what it was like in the tomb, but he climbed up after just a few glances."

"This morning I discussed with people from the Miao village about going to the tomb. Brother Ye also consciously guided us. I guess he should be an insider."

"Brother Xiaobai is also a tomb robber?" Wu Xiaowu looked shocked and exclaimed in a low voice.

"What's your kid's name? Dad told you so much just to be careful and not to believe others foolishly."

"Even if the discovery of this stolen cave is really a coincidence, little brother Ye is not a simple person. You should learn more." Wu Guangyuan said earnestly.

Wu Xiaowu nodded dazedly, held the rope, and climbed up bit by bit.

After leaving the thief's cave, Dahuang who was standing by the side immediately rushed up and licked Wu puppy excitedly.

"Hey, it's okay Dahuang..." Wu Xiaowu comforted Dahuang, opened Dahuang's tongue, looked around and found no trace of Ye Bai, and asked: "Dahuang, where is Brother Xiaobai?"

"Wang! Wong!"

Dahuang barked in one direction, then took the lead and ran over, with Wu Puppy following behind.

Hearing the barking of dogs in the distance, Ye Bai knew that Wu Puppy should also be coming up.

But at this time, he was having a tough time with a brown triangular head and couldn't be distracted.

I saw this triangular-shaped snake with its lower body coiled up and its head held high, as if I would attack you if you come over.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

Ye Bai's voice was low and hissed in snake language.

"Hiss...(We are good friends.)"

"Hiss! (Get out!)" The poisonous snake spat out a snake message.

"Hiss... (I am your father!)"

"Hiss! (Get out!)" The poisonous snake showed its fangs.

"Can't you fucking understand snake language?"

Seeing the venomous snake's attack posture becoming more and more obvious, Ye Bai couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This snake language seems a bit useless. Although Ye Bai can understand the language and emotions of snakes and talk to them in snake language, if the snake opposite him has a low IQ, it will be difficult for him to understand what Ye Bai means.

"Perhaps it is a wild poisonous snake that is inherently hostile to humans. Coupled with my tall size, I look like a similar species invading its territory, so it attacked me." Ye Bai guessed.

"Brother Xiaobai, what are you doing?" At this time, Wu Xiaoxiao ran over with Dahuang.

The poisonous snake twisted its neck and saw that the "enemy" was so numerous that it swished into the grass in the forest and disappeared.

Seeing the test object slip away, Ye Bai also gave up his intention to continue trying, "It's nothing, it's just that this poisonous snake wanted to attack me, but I scared it away."

"Oh." Wu Xiaowu responded blankly, but he could clearly see the scene where Ye Bai neighed just now, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

After testing the snake language ability, Ye Bai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This was very different from what he expected.

Although snake language can gain a little favor from snakes when communicating, if you are facing a hostile snake, this favor will be of no use at all, and you will never hesitate to attack.

Secondly, snakes with low IQs can only express simple emotions, and they cannot understand complex snake languages, which directly shattered Ye Bai's dream of controlling a group of snakes.

The only good thing is that in this comprehensive world of tomb robbing, there are snake creatures in many scenes, such as the black snake with sarcoma in Juejue City, the Zhu Jiuyin on the sacred tree in Qinling Mountains, the big green snake in Insect Valley...

When facing these snake monsters, Ye Bai, who has the snake language, can not only save his life, but it also increases the possibility of survival. If he is lucky enough to tame one or two, Ye Bai can walk sideways in many tombs.
