Tomb Raiders start to enter the Lu Palace

Chen Hao took a closer look, and found that it was a white snake slough, and there was a raised spot on the head, which looked like a cockscomb.

He immediately understood what was going on. He knew that these were the shed skins of the cockscomb snake. It seemed that when the cockscomb snake shed its skin, it hid in these places.

The fat man stepped forward and pulled a snake out of it. The snake's slough was intact and quite resilient to the touch. It seemed that it had just come down not long ago.

However, there was an extremely unpleasant stench, and the fat man threw the snake slough aside with a look of disgust.

Snake slough is a relatively precious traditional Chinese medicine, which can be sold for hundreds of yuan per catty. There are so many here, at least several tons, and the value is astonishing.If the fat man knew, he would definitely not despise this snake slough as disgusting.

Pan Zi touched the snake's slough and said, "The skin is still very tough. It seems that it has just retreated. This is where they shed their skin. Snakes usually choose a place they think is safe to shed their skin. This is their territory." , if we are discovered, it will be troublesome, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we should leave here quickly."

Everyone felt that what he said made sense, and hurriedly left the area. They thought they would encounter a few snakes, or even more snakes, but the journey went surprisingly smoothly without encountering a single snake.

After walking for 4 hours, they crossed the field, and the sounds of waterfalls and streams began to appear around them.

At this time, Chen Hao hurriedly summoned the golden eagle again, and flew into the air to confirm the location.

Flying tens of meters into the air, he saw a huge temple not far away, all built with black boulders, making the building look even more ancient and mysterious.

There is a huge square in front of the temple, and the periphery of the main building is a corridor of megalithic fences like ancient Roman buildings.

Chen Hao was overjoyed. After walking for so long, he finally found the temple, but it was already dark at this time.

He took out the binoculars from his backpack and looked towards the square of the temple. There were more than a dozen tents propped up there. They were canvas tents bought by Mr. Wu from the black market.

But after watching for a long time, there was no one walking around. Chen Hao knew that Wu Laosan and the others had already left and entered the underground drainage channel.

After predicting the distance, based on their footsteps, it is estimated that they will be able to reach the temple in another two hours.

Thinking of this, he quickly flew back to the ground and told everyone the news.

When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately became excited, and they swept away the tiredness on their faces, quickly took out their things, ate and walked, and hurried towards the temple.

two hours later.

Not far away, an extremely tall building appeared in front of their eyes, blending into the surrounding night, only Chen Hao could see it.

Chen Hao took out the miner's lamp from his backpack, adjusted the brightness to the brightest, and shone on the temple, taking a general picture of the magnificent outline of the temple.

Wu Xie: "My God! If this is discovered, it will be the ninth wonder of the world!"

The fat man widened his eyes and said, "Damn it, this temple is indeed magnificent. I don't know if it's the ninth wonder, but it's definitely our miracle!"

"Look, that's the third master's tent!"

Pan Zi pointed at the dozen or so tents stationed in the square, and then quickly ran to that side, and everyone hurriedly followed after seeing this.

Chapter 163 The Mist

When everyone came to the camp, they found that there was no one in the tent, but there were a lot of equipment left behind.

Everyone inspected each tent and found that the inside was a mess, and things were very messy, especially the tents near the side, the things inside were even more messy, and there was still dried blood on the ground.

Moreover, outside the tent, there were a lot of bloodstains all the way to the swamp, but there was no corpse.

After looking around but no one was there, everyone was extremely puzzled. What happened in this silent camp?

Wu Xie said: "The things here are very messy, and there is blood everywhere on the ground. It seems that the third uncle and the others left in a hurry. It is very likely that they encountered a terrible accident before they left."

Wu Xie's observation ability is relatively strong, so it is not unreasonable for him to infer.

"What happened to the third master that he left in such a hurry? Could something be wrong?" Pan Zi said with a worried expression.

At this time, the black blind man suddenly lowered his body, picked up the dried blood on the ground with his nails, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then frowned: "No, this blood doesn't seem to be human. Human blood needs to coagulate a little, and It is dark red in color, but the blood is too bright and smells even more fishy."

Wu Xie asked: "It's not human, what kind of animal left it?"

Hearing this, the little brother picked up a little dried blood, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said solemnly, "This is the blood of the cockscomb snake!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Hao also picked up a little blood and put it in front of his nose to smell it. He only felt that it was extremely stenchy and very diluted. It was indeed the blood of those cockscombed snakes.

When they were on the outskirts of the swamp, they were attacked by a cockscomb snake, and they were stained with a lot of cockscomb snake blood. Naturally, it was easy to tell that the blood was from the cockscomb snake, not from people.

Pan Zi frowned and said: "Oops, it seems that the third master and the others were forced to leave the camp after being attacked by snakes, but now they can't even find a corpse."

Hearing what he said, Chen Hao immediately remembered that the cockscomb snake would carry corpses in the original book. He guessed that all the corpses here were moved to the pool of the dead by the cockscomb snake.

Because, that dead man's pool is the hatching base for cockscomb snakes, and the corpses will generate a certain amount of heat before they rot, which can help the snake eggs hatch.

He didn't know where the dead man's pool was, and everyone was so tired now that even if they wanted to find it, they would have to wait until tomorrow.

Chen Hao said to everyone: "Everyone don't have to worry so much, the third master has people around him, so it should be fine. Let's rest here for a night and go find them tomorrow!"

The reason why I say that is because according to the development of the original story, Wu Laosan must be fine. He is cautious, old and cunning, how could he die so easily, he is probably hiding in the underground drainage channel now.

Hearing what he said, everyone felt that it made sense, and it was dark now, which was the time for the cockscomb snake to come out to move around. It would be very unwise to go out to find someone at this time.

Immediately, they tidied up those tents. For the sake of safety, everyone lived in a big tent. In case of any accident, they could take care of each other.

After tidying up the tent, Chen Hao asked everyone to smear a thick layer of mud on the outside of the tent, which can cover the heat and prevent the cockscomb snake from being aware of the situation inside the tent.

According to the situation in the original book, after smearing mud on the body, it can not only cover the breath of living people, but also "invisible", and the cockscomb snake can't see them at all.

However, if you even wipe the mud on your sleep, you may not be able to sleep, so he asked everyone to wipe a layer of mud on the outside of the tent. people.

Everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, so they got a lot of mud into the swamp and wiped it outside the tent.

After doing this, they ate something casually, and then lay down in the tent to rest. This time, Chen Hao was still in charge of the night watch.

In the dead of night, everyone was asleep, and Chen Hao dozed off with his back leaning against a stone.

He remained in a state of half asleep and half awake, the purpose of which was to wake up as soon as possible if there was any disturbance.

After sleeping in a daze for two hours, suddenly, a system notification sounded in my mind.

"Ding! It is detected that the poisonous miasma in the swamp is pervasive. If inhaled, it will cause blindness and suffocation. Please be careful with the host!"

Hearing this sound, Chen Hao suddenly woke up. Looking around, he did not know when a puff of black smoke had risen, which was obviously the poisonous miasma prompted by the system.

The black poisonous miasma diffused very quickly, and it was about to cover their camp. Chen Hao quickly ran to the tent, woke everyone up, and asked them to put on gas masks.

Everyone was awakened in their sleep, and they all looked very tired, but they believed in his words, quickly put on their gas masks, and walked out of the tent to check the surrounding environment.

At this time, the black poisonous miasma had already filled the air, covering the entire temple, and the surrounding area was so dark that one could hardly see one's fingers.

Fortunately, everyone put on gas masks in advance, otherwise, if they inhaled this poisonous miasma, they would immediately have difficulty breathing and lose their eyesight.

Everyone fell asleep, stood together tightly, turned on the flashlight and carefully observed the surroundings.
