Main Text Volume Chapter 336 The Coffin at the Bottom of the Pit

With a fluke mentality, Angel stood there and watched the giant python swim away. But soon, his fluke was shattered. The giant python swam for a while and then turned to look at him. Although he didn't say anything, his cold eyes seemed to say a thousand words.

"Okay, okay, you lead the way, I'll go with you." Angel sighed. He was unlucky enough. He thought that with the "Wanyu Nova", he should be safe, but he actually met a wizard-level monster! Is this a prophecy?

"Toby, why don't you go first and help me explore the way?" Angel wanted Toby to leave alone, but Toby didn't say anything and sat back on the top of his tall hat without moving.

The direction of the giant python's movement was also along the water flow. Of course, Angel would not really be stupid enough to think that a monster would be kind to him, so he didn't put away the Wanyu Nova along the way, and his eyes kept turning around, thinking about how to break the situation.

But the underground waters were too vast and dark, and it was easy to get lost. Even if he had the light magic, he couldn't illuminate far. He didn't even know whether the waterway was a cliff or a cave.

After swimming for a few more minutes, Angel began to doubt whether this waterway was really the way for the villagers to leave?

The black water channel in front, ordinary people can also come here by holding their breath and swimming faster. But this waterway, or this section of underground waters, according to the ability of ordinary people, can really leave from here?

But if it's not here, why are there corpses along the way? Angel didn't believe that it was killed by this giant python. Not to mention whether there was this giant python a thousand years ago, if it was really killed by a giant python, at least the bones could not be preserved so well.

Doubts emerged in Angel's mind one by one, and before he could think it through, the giant python suddenly swam upstream.

Angel had no choice but to float up.

Soon, Angell floated to the surface of the water. With the help of the light magic, Angell found that the space above the water surface was not large, like an inverted bowl, which could accommodate a maximum of ten meters in diameter.

However, this "inverted bowl" had a hole, and no one knew what was going on in the dark hole. After the giant python's huge head floated on the water, it had been lurking silently without any movement.

Angell was only four or five meters away from him at this time, and he could feel the hugeness of the snake even more.

The giant python had not come ashore, but just stared at Angell with pale golden vertical pupils, and the urging in his eyes was obvious.

Angell was also a little at a loss, and continued to dive into the water area to find an exit, which was a bit unrealistic. He couldn't run faster than the giant python at all, and where the exit was was also a question mark. But going to a dark hole like this, which was very likely to be the giant python's nest, made him feel more dangerous.

"What do you want me to do?" Angell asked.

The giant python was speechless, and his eyes kept staring at Angell.

Angell changed his way of expression and communicated with the giant python directly with emotions. But the giant python still did not move, and its eyes were cold and frightening.

Angel's eyes were still turning, wondering if there were any other props in the bracelet that could help him out. He even thought about letting Toby use the acceleration to carry him to sprint for a while, and then turn on the boundless silence to hide on one side, but the water flow would easily expose his position. The invisibility of boundless silence is not to escape into the void, as long as the water flow passes by his position, it will be exposed.

Angel thought about it and climbed up the shore. If you want to hide by boundless silence, you must not be underwater.

After he got ashore, the giant python also slowly climbed up, and its huge body was exposed to the air for the first time. The giant python swayed its body and followed Angel into the cave. As he walked along, Angel saw the water drops rolling down from its black scales and dripping onto the ground, making the ground damp.

Seeing this, Angel was more certain that the wet traces on the ground in the cave were made by the giant python.

In other words, this python has been watching them in the dark? Finally, it opened the passage at the bottom of the lake and lured them there?

The python's behavior was too strange. If it really wanted to deal with them, why didn't it go to the bottom of the lake? Or was it that the bottom of the lake was too narrow to spread its body? But this didn't make sense.

Angel decided to keep quiet for the time being and follow it to the end to see what it wanted to do.

...

The cave became wider and wider. When you go to the back, it is wide enough for hundreds of giant pythons to live here without fear of crowding.

Angel was happy to see such a terrain. Once he really decided to escape, the wider it was, the more it would have the effect of endless silence.

As he went deeper, Angel found that there were plants with lighting here, but unlike the plants in the inner world that grew on the top and absorbed the light of the sun and the moon, these plants looked like dandelions, but the fluffy balls could emit a bright green light.

From a distance, it looked like a group of green fireflies.

Although the glow was not big, there were many plants that could not resist the light. So when they reached the back section, the fluorescent dandelions alone illuminated the huge underground cave.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. Although there seemed to be a road ahead, the giant python did not go any deeper.

Angel looked deeper into the passage, wondering if the end would be the exit passage?

But now was not the time to explore. He wanted to know what the giant python was going to do.

As the giant python entered another passage, this passage was a real closed passage. Although it was very spacious inside, he could see the end at a glance with the light of the fluorescent dandelions. ——This is probably the giant python's nest, right?

The giant python slowly moved to a pit,

Angel also came over, stood in front of the pit, and looked down.

It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Angel guessed that this might be the python's nest.

At this time, the python slowly picked up a glowing dandelion and threw it into the pit.

The dandelion, shining with a bright light, spun and slowly fell. As the glow shone, Angel's eyes suddenly widened! This pit was not the place where the python lived as he imagined, because under the reflection of the glow, the bottom of the pit was full of white bones!

The glow could only illuminate a corner, but according to the density of the bones at the bottom of the pit, it is conceivable how many skeletons there are at the bottom of the entire pit? !

At least hundreds, or even thousands!

While Angel was shocked, he also noticed one thing: the skeletons at the bottom of the pit were also intact, and most of the skeletons had... medical boxes around them.

The familiar medical box made Angel immediately confirm that these skeletons should be the villagers of the deserted village.

Could it be that the villagers he thought had escaped from the deserted village at that time were actually here?

None of them escaped, and all of them died here?

Who killed them? Was it the python? The answer should be no. With the size of the python, it would be easy to crush them, but the bones here are extremely intact.

Angel turned his head and looked at the giant python beside him. He faintly saw sadness in the golden vertical pupils of the python.

Sadness? The giant python will be sad for humans?

Could it be that there is a special connection between this giant python and these bones?

"... Special connection?" Angel thought of this and suddenly remembered something. He took out the medical box that he found at the bottom of the lake from his bracelet and took out a medicine bottle from it. There was a strange mark engraved on the outside of the medicine bottle, which was a snake with black scales, wrapped around a silver-white ring-shaped long cone.

Looking at this mark, Angel looked at the black giant python next to him.

"This snake, could it be you?" Looking at the giant python who continued to be sad, Angel asked in a low voice.

The python turned its head and looked at it, then lowered its head slightly without speaking, and slid down the pit wall.

Although the python remained silent, it did not deny Angel's question. And judging from its performance, perhaps this python is really the snake on the mark.

Using a real snake as the symbol of the badge. Angel squinted his eyes, and he thought of some evil religions.

But as a doctor, on the day of taking the oath of office, he was destined to go against the evil. Since doctors choose to use snakes as their mark, does it mean that there is a story behind this snake? Or, does this snake actually represent a spiritual belief?

While Angel was guessing, the python slowly climbed up again, but this time it brought something up.

Angel had seen before that the python seemed to be looking for something in the pile of bones, and now that it found it, it brought it up.

When Angel saw what the python brought up, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be a coffin? !

This is a coffin made of black oil wood. This kind of oil wood is extremely rare. It will not rot for thousands of years in a humid environment. It is often used to make coffins in the mortal world. In the wizard world, it is also a low-level magic plant and the best substitute for the bearing shaft in mechanical alchemy.

The coffin body is black, and the coffin lid is pure white. There is also a "snake wrapped around a long cone" mark engraved on the coffin lid.

After the giant python brought the coffin up, it gently pushed its head to the side of Angel.

After the giant python did all this, it looked at Angel quietly, and in the vertical pupils of the cold-blooded creature, there was a trace of imperceptible pleading.

"You brought me here to help you bury this coffin?" Angel looked at the coffin at his feet and asked with confusion.

While asking, Angel gently placed his hand on the coffin.

Just when Angel's hand touched the coffin, strange changes occurred--

The coffin suddenly shook violently, swaying left and right, and the coffin lid jumped, as if something inside was unwilling to drill out.

"Corpse?" Angel retracted his hand, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

After the body dies, if the soul has not left, through special means, the body can exist as a "corpse ghost". If the soul leaves the body, there is also a chance of forming a "walking corpse".

Whether it is a walking corpse or a corpse ghost, they are all very low-level monsters, and wizards generally disdain to refine them. Rather than tinkering with dead bodies, wizards prefer to refine living people into puppets. For example, the famous "puppet master" Bogula in the South Region loves to refine beauty puppets, and they are all **.

After Angel said the word "corpse transformation", he frowned again: "That's not right. If it is a corpse transformation, the body must at least remain roughly intact. After being dead for a thousand years, it can't be a dead soul skeleton inside, right?"
