Chapter 19             �

When I looked at him, I felt that the head looked like a small trumpet, but had no facial features, it was covered with rotten black mud, and was surrounded by fine tentacles.

"What the hell?" I asked.

The fat man threw it over and I caught it in the air. Only then did I find that the thing was not big. I washed it with water, and soon the black mud outside was washed off, revealing the green and rusty surface inside.

I shook it and said strangely: "Damn it, it's a military kettle."

"kettle?"

"Old style, something from decades ago, I knew it when I saw the appearance. There was one in my house. Look, there was still a word here." I turned over the kettle.

There is indeed a string of words printed on the bottom of the kettle. It was not well-formed, and now it is even more difficult to see clearly. It feels like it may be the place of production.

We looked at each other and thought to ourselves: What's going on? How could this kettle float up from this hole?

The space under the water should be the bottom of the river made of gravel and pottery. Although I don’t know what it looked like thousands of years ago, it must have been like this in recent hundreds of years. How could a kettle exist?

The fat man said: "Can they also be the reactionary armed people who fled here?"

"It's possible." I said, "But the problem is not this, the problem is how can this thing be below this?"

"Maybe a reactionary member has come here, and happened to die in this hole."

I shook my head and said, "Impossible. This balanced structure can only exist once. If it collapsed before, it would either be a hole or be filled with mud and sand later, and there would be no more pits covered with pottery pieces."

The fat man said, "How do you know?"

"Boss, this is common sense." I said.

"It may also be that I drifted from other places to here, and the bottom of this place may be empty." said the fat man.

"It is possible in theory, but it is actually very difficult. The kettle will float up and get stuck on the hollow dome. It is not so easy to float..." I said, and before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt my feet move. The "movement" was very outrageous. It felt like I just bulged my feet. I immediately opened my hands to maintain balance and said to the fat man, "Be careful, it's going to collapse again."

At this time, the fat man cursed his mother: "Your common sense is wrong."

I looked down and saw a huge ball of things floating up from the black pit, reflecting a series of flashing lights of scales, and then I saw a yellow eye the size of a basketball.

I was stunned and thought to myself, what was this? The fat man pushed me and shouted, "Road! Run! Run! Run!" Before I could react, he pulled him out.

The fat man was like crazy and pulled me without any energy. When I saw that this posture was really running for life, I grabbed the oil bottle and ran out immediately.

In fact, I can't run in the water at all. The resistance is too great and it's very slow. It's impossible to run at this time, and my feet are covered with sharp porcelain pieces. I rushed out a few steps and stepped on the tip of the head. I fell into the water and fluttered, not caring about the severe pain in the soles of my feet.

Then the fat man and the oil bottle fell down, and the fat man's backpack fell off, but he got up and didn't look at it. He shouted and said, "Don't stop!" He used all his strength and continued to rush forward. I heard the sound of water coming from behind us. When he looked back, it turned out to be an extremely huge python, which was foggy from the water, just like a green dragon coming out of the water.

I looked at the snake's size and thought about it.

My God, isn't this... not that snake mother!

How is this possible? The giant snake painted on the relief actually exists and is still alive.

I thought to myself, "It's over", gritted my teeth and continued running forward, and listened to the sound of water coming from behind, and thought to myself, what should I do? I could only run a few steps or a few steps. I almost fell while running, and I don't know how many times I fell, my feet sprained, and my whole body was covered with wounds.

Many people have experience. When they encounter danger, they rely on the initial force. Before they use this force, even if you cut two pieces of knife on your body, you will not feel the pain. So I ran all the way, falling, falling, and the soles of my feet were rotten. I don’t know how many holes I made. There was no sense of distance in the panic, nor did I know how far I ran out. Finally, my feet suddenly became empty, stepped on a sudden low-lying, and rolled down. There was a deep pit below, and I rushed into the water.

I was very quick to react and immediately stabilized my body, but it was too abrupt. After drinking several sips of water, I couldn't step on it no matter how hard I stepped on it.

The fat man was still paying attention to me. He ran out for more than ten meters and rushed back and pulled me up. But before I could catch his hand, a flash of scale light suddenly flashed, and an extremely domineering force came over with the current of water, pressing him and the oil bottle into the water.

This was deadly. The three of them slammed into the water, and saw a huge python like a train strip around us. The fat man pulled out the dagger, but after looking at the size difference, the dagger was worse than a toothpick, so he couldn't help but give up. Then I saw the huge python head leaning into the water and appearing in front of us. The huge scales were like a mirror, too big, and that momentum, I was like seeing a clawless blue dragon.

How did the kettle go down? Someone must have given it food and brought it to the bottom of the sand. The three of us used it as appetizers.

We were thrusting in the water, trying to swim out of the encirclement of the huge python, but found that we could not control ourselves at all. As soon as the giant snake moved, the water flow would boil, and with great water pressure, we would disrupt our direction.

The fat man refused to accept his fate. While he had already raised his gun, aimed at the snake's eyes, and fired twice. The giant snake's head moved twice, without any reaction. The fat man threw the gun away.

I told him not to waste his energy. We all know that the gun will not work at all. When we encounter that kind of double-scale python, we can still fight to the death. This thing is too big. How can we fight? It doesn't work. The fat man shouted: "No, the elephant doesn't eat ants. We are too small. It's not so easy for it to eat us."

Before I finished speaking, the snake's head suddenly shrank and bit the fat man suddenly. The momentum was indescribable, and I was thrown out by the waves of water.

I got up and shouted at the fat man, but I saw that he was also washed away with the oil bottle, and the giant snake did not bite it.

The giant snake missed a blow and became angry. The huge snake body twisted and formed huge waves of water. The huge scales were like countless mirrors, reflecting the mineral light in my hand like a magnificent illusion of light and shadow.

The fat man shouted at me: "Hide!"

I immediately swam behind the huge stone pillar on one side, and finally climbed up. When I turned around, my scalp became numb and I saw that the huge dinosaur-like python head had quietly reached me, staring at me.

There is no way to hide, the python is too huge, and I swam half to death and it came over immediately. It may be its direct attack distance within two or three hundred meters here.

I looked at me closely and found that the giant python was even bigger, so I couldn't help but kneel down. The giant python turned its head and looked at me with huge snake eyes, but did not attack immediately. The snake's head turned from time to time.

I thought to myself that I was dead, and its attack on the water must be more accurate than in the water.

But after waiting for a few seconds, the snake was still not attacking us. I stared at the huge snake head and found that the snake seemed to be unable to eat anything.

I thought about it and suddenly saw me illuminating the snake's mine lamp. I understood it immediately. The mine lamp was extremely bright. This snake might have not seen any light in hundreds of years. Now it has made this thing blind.

Suddenly I thought of a solution in my mind. I slowly put the mine lamp on the stone pillar aside, hoping to escape by myself while its attention was attracted.

However, there was almost no way to put anything on the stone pillar, and it slid down as soon as it was put. I was sweating all over my body, and it didn't work after putting it a few times.

While I was trying to calm myself down, I thought of a solution. I really admire my mind that I could still turn at this time, if I had been completely scared to death before.

Suddenly, I saw the fat man on one side gestured me behind the giant python's head, as if I wanted me to throw the mine lamp to him.

I immediately understood his intention, took a deep breath, swung the mine lamp over the snake's head, and an arc of light flew towards the fat man. The giant python was attracted by the light and turned his head immediately. At this moment, I suddenly dived into the water.

The python on one side moved immediately. I swam desperately without any hesitation, swam until I was exhausted before poking my head out. I saw that it had not swam too far. The giant python was behind me, with a huge snake body standing around me. But the python moved quickly and soon disappeared, as if it had penetrated under the sand.

Soon, I saw the fat man coming out of the water quickly with a bottle of oil on his back. I asked him what was going on, and he said, "I sank the mine lamp into a hole, it chased after it, go quickly, and we will die when it comes up again."

The experience afterwards was unremarkable.

We gasped and looked at each other, feeling that everything seemed to be dreaming just now. The fat man's face was pale and asked us to leave quickly, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment. The process afterwards was basically very dazed, especially at the end. I could only roughly record the process.

We had almost no stops, and we returned to the exit of the waterway. After choosing one direction, we began to look for another exit along the stone wall.

After six hours, I entered a waterway entrance and endured the hunger, the three of them simply left without saying anything, so as not to waste their energy.

"If you don't eat, you can support it for one to two weeks. Only a few days ago can you feel uncomfortable," said the fat man. "I've experienced this time, just bear with it."

At first I doubted whether we could go out alive in the end. At the same time, I suddenly understood why Uncle San came in this time called "the road to return", because the journey was too long, and the food carried by a person could not satisfy the whole round trip. He had foreseeed the arduous journey of the return journey.
