Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 423 Tomb Guardian Beast, a Colossal Creature

Cao Erdan continued to search using his divine eyes.

But then they noticed something unusual about the rock about a foot deep in the center.

He took a steel knife and went over to the two burly men who stood in front of the stone gate. He then jumped onto their shoulders.

After prying around in the middle of the boulder a few times, a loose rock was revealed.

Cao Erdan pressed his palm against the rock and used reverse suction to pry off a small stone weighing over a hundred pounds that was embedded in the middle of the boulder.

A circular groove appears here.

Hua Ruyi quickly had everyone bring stones to use as stepping stones.

They went up, took a torch, and looked into the small round hole.

It is about two feet deep, and inside there is a groove shaped like a dragon.

"This should be the keyhole!"

Hua Ruyi exclaimed excitedly.

At the same time, he greatly admired Cao Erdan.

I wonder how he found such a hidden place.

Little did she know that Cao Erdan possessed the ability to see through things, a kind of supernatural insight.

Otherwise, no one would have thought that the keyhole was hidden in the middle of a boulder and sealed off by the rocks.

Cao Erdan quickly took out the dragon-shaped blood jade.

It is directly embedded in the keyhole on the left.

"click"

The dragon-shaped jade shattered and seeped directly into the stone.

It instantly became one with the stone.

"What's going on? It's not a key?"

Everyone was confused.

But at that moment, the boulder made a "crackling" sound.

Everyone, please step back.

This seemingly indestructible stone gate was now cracking, starting from the central hole.

Finally, with a loud "boom," the boulder shattered, and a pile of rubble fell down.

A cave about ten feet high appears above, large enough for a person to pass through.

The crowd looked at each other, not understanding the reason behind it.

A small piece of dragon-shaped jade is more powerful than a bomb!

Huang Benchu ​​exclaimed in admiration: "It seems that the person who designed this mechanism must have been a powerful immortal. Only by casting spells on the stone and the dragon-shaped jade could such a miraculous thing happen."

After passing through the stone gate, they found themselves in a vast, dark space.

The height is unseen, the width is unfathomable, but we raise our torches and continue onward.

But directly in front of them stood a huge statue.

Huang Benchu ​​quickly went over and knelt down to pay his respects.

When everyone shone their torches on the scene, they were all astonished.

The statue was a human-faced dragon statue.

And the face of this person was remarkably similar to that of Cao Erdan.

It was almost as if it was carved based on Cao Erdan.

Huang Benchu ​​didn't dare say much in front of everyone. After kowtowing several times, he whispered to Cao Erdan:

"Master Cao, this is the same as the dragon god statue I have in my family! If I told you you are the reincarnation of the dragon god, would you believe me?"

Cao Erdan also found it strange.

Quickly look around, trying to sense if you feel familiar with this place.

If I was a dragon god in my past life and was buried here, would I still have memories?

When he looked around, all he saw was emptiness.

Except for a radius of several dozen feet around the ground, which was brightly lit by everyone's torches, the rest of the area was shrouded in endless darkness.

"Swish"

"what sound?"

"It sounds like footsteps?"

"Could it be another zombie outbreak?"

Everyone panicked and looked in the direction of the sound, but it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.

The sound is getting closer.

Cao Erdan quickly told everyone to spread out, throw ten torches ten meters away, and then retreat.

This way, the other person can see him before he gets close to the torch.

Everyone retreated as Cao Erdan instructed.

The sound grew closer, and a fishy smell wafted over.

Huang Benchu ​​couldn't help but shudder:

"Master Cao, I have a bad feeling. Should we run away?"

Cao Erdan glared at him: "If you're scared, you can run away, but I don't have the habit of backing down when things get tough."

"Then I don't have any left!"

Although Huang Benchu ​​was timid, he was quite loyal to Cao Erdan.

Hiding behind Cao Erdan, I looked towards the source of the sound in the darkness.

It seemed as if we were right in front of each other, but then there was no sound, and we couldn't see anything.

Huang Benchu ​​tugged at Cao Erdan's sleeve:

"Master Cao, stop! What did you see?"

But then Cao Erdan exclaimed in astonishment, "Look up!"

Everyone looked up, and Hua Ruyi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It turned out that there was a huge head diagonally above them.

It was the head of a python, with a fleshy crest on its head, and its eyes, like light bulbs, were looking down at the crowd.

"Ballu"

The tongue was spat out, carrying a pungent, fishy smell.

"Wow, what a huge snake!"

Huang Benchu ​​screamed in fright.

The weasel is the nemesis of snakes. Before it took human form, Huang Benchu ​​used to eat snakes to satisfy his hunger.

But today, this snake is way too big.

So much so that no one noticed its body coming closer.

At this moment, its head peeked out, and it was about the size of a small car.

With its mouth wide open, its teeth are like small swords.

Suddenly, a gaping maw lunged downwards.

Huang Benchu ​​darted away more than ten meters in a flash, disappearing into the darkness without looking back.

Hua Ruyi was terrified.

They were too busy screaming to dodge.

Cao Erdan reached out and grabbed her slender waist, then leaped away.

It was just a hair's breadth away from being caught by the python's mouth.

The python's head extended and retracted in less than a second, and two of the team's warriors were missing.

It swallowed two strong men whole in one gulp. Damn, that's too ferocious.

Cao Erdan shouted:

"Everyone, spread out and light more torches!"

The dozens of burly men dispersed without being told.

They scattered and fled, some crashing into rocks in the darkness, nearly losing their lives.

Some of the more rational ones listened to Cao Erdan's warning and quickly hid to the side, lighting the torches and pine resin they carried to protect themselves.

The torches were spread out, and more torches were added. Someone found a lot of dry vines in the cave, so they simply poured pine resin on them and lit them, and the cave was immediately illuminated.

This made everyone even more terrified.

The python's true form has been fully revealed.

It was actually a giant python king, over ten zhang long and thicker than a water vat!

The "rustling" sound you just heard was the sound of its scales rubbing against each other as it swam around.

This giant python was like a small train; it was simply beyond human control.

Let alone a person, even if a lion or tiger came, it would probably be killed instantly.

After seeing the giant python in its entirety, everyone was terrified and immediately fled to find cover to hide.

Some simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

They were all children who grew up in the mountains, so they knew the habits of pythons.

It rarely attacks you unless you move.

The giant python's head swam back and forth in mid-air, sending chills down the spines of anyone who passed over it.

Suddenly, it whirled around and pounced on a warrior who was breathing a little heavier.

It bit him, shook him a few times, and then slammed him to the ground. The warrior died instantly, his lumbar spine broken!

Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

And just like that, time seemed to stand still.

The giant python also quieted down.

However, it showed no sign of leaving.

He simply lowered his head slowly and lay face down on the ground.

Time passed slowly, and the giant python seemed to have fallen asleep, but no one dared to move.

Fearing to disturb this behemoth, if it wanted to chase you, it would simply stand up straight; no one could escape its jaws.

At this point, a stalemate had been reached.
