Chapter 23 Snake Bone

Although the altar is not special, the word "providing" made me a little confused. As I walked, I asked, "Boss, what is the difference between an altar? What is the difference between an ordinary altar?"

Wen Mo picked up a bone casually, "The ancient ancestors of each tribe will worship each other, and most of them belong to totem worship. This kind of worship is sometimes blind. They will look for strange beasts similar to their totem form to offer it."

I seemed to understand what Wenmo meant, and I was shocked, "Boss, do you mean, this place is where ancient ancestors feed monsters?"

Wen Mo nodded, "It's almost the same!"

I suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but look around, "That is to say, there was once a strange beast here that was raised by ancient ancestors? And, "I looked at the surrounding bones, "and I also eat meat!"

Wen Mo nodded again. I reached out and pulled out the short knife, and my heart started to jump wildly. I don’t know what kind of monster it was, but looking at the large number of bones here, this strange beast is probably small, and it is probably not so docile. Of course, the most important question is whether it is still alive! Thinking of this, my heart twitched.

But I still comforted myself. After all, this place has been abandoned for many years. Even if there are any strange beasts, they have been hungry, and maybe they are dead now. Although I tried my best to think so, I still felt a chill on my back.

Gradually, we can already see the edge of the shoal. Fortunately, we did not encounter any abnormalities.

Just as my heart was a little calmer, Wen Mo, who was narrating, suddenly said "Hmm?"

My heart immediately shivered, and I was so scared that I shrank my neck and looked around vigilantly. Wen Mo rarely reveals his emotions and attitudes. If something makes him react, then this matter is absolutely extraordinary.

I unconsciously lowered my voice: "Boss, what's going on?"

Wen Mo did not speak, but turned around and walked towards the edge of the shallows. I immediately walked behind him and followed him.

Wen Mo took me to the corner of the shallow and the cave wall. Only then did I be surprised to see that there were many huge white bones scattered here, and these white bones were scattered in a mess on the edge of the river.

It is obvious that when the water level of the river is high, it is submerged under the water, so these bones have also been hit by the river. Now that the water level has dropped, they have been deposited here and become like this.

We looked at these bones carefully. Although they were messy, they looked very complete.

I immediately understood that this was definitely not a sacrifice thrown into the water by ancient ancestors, but a skeleton left by an animal that died here.

This skeleton is very huge, and each bone is the thickness of my calf. Some of the bones were broken and placed on the ground like a huge fish bone. I couldn't help but remember the huge fish bone left by Xu Fu in the basement of Ocean University.

However, the fish bone is still different from the bone in front of us. The fish bones have to be softer and have a flat shape, while the bones are hard and cylindrical.

I asked Wen Mo next to me, "Boss, can you tell what kind of animal bone is this?"

Wen Mo reached out and pulled out a somewhat unique bone from a pile of huge bones, and said, "This is a snake bone!"

"Snake bone?" I was a little surprised, "Such a snake bone? This..." I closed my mouth halfway through. Actually, what's so surprising about this? We have seen it in the depths of the ruins of Qilian Mountains.

Wen Mo handed me the bone in his hand that looked like a short knife, "This is a snake tooth!"

I looked at the snake teeth in my hand and was a little confused, "This snake is so big. If this one is its teeth, is it a little small compared to its body? I see that the snake's venomous fangs are usually very long!"

Wen Mo shook his head, "It's so big that the body and strength alone are enough to kill prey, so this giant snake does not need to have poisonous fangs. Therefore, today's venomous snakes are generally not too large, while the large pythons are all non-toxic."

That's true, I nodded.

Just then, someone suddenly took a photo of me next to me, "Hey, what are you looking at?"

I was suddenly startled and raised my snake's teeth and was about to cut it. When I turned around and shone the flashlight, I saw that Lanxiao's big face appeared in front of me.

Lantern Festival was also startled, "Calm down! It's me!"

"Your uncle!" I cursed, "I was scared, aren't you on it? Why did you get down?"

Yuanxiao pointed to the front, "There is a stone staircase that leads down there, and the passage above is nothing. I think the things below you are quite rich, so I came down to see if I can find something good."

I reached out and stuffed the snake teeth in my hand into Yuanxiao's arms, "Give you an ivory, I'll send it when I go back!"

"Fuck!" Yuanxiao raised the snake teeth in front of her eyes and looked at it, "Don't lie to me, I heard it just now, it's snake teeth! But such a big snake teeth are really rare, maybe it's worth some money." However, Yuanxiao thought for a while and threw the snake teeth aside, "Forget it, don't want it anymore. I just told others that this is snake teeth, and no one believed it!" After that, Yuanxiao turned around and walked to the side, and while walking, he also touched the ground.

I said to Yuanxiao, "Hey, stop looking for it, we have to go and find An Naduo quickly!"

Yuanxiao said without raising her head, "I know, I won't look for it, I'll go there for a little more convenience."

I couldn't help but feel dazed when I looked at the scene in front of me. We originally thought that the legend of Ba snakes in the 100,000 mountains that Anaduo's father told us was just people's imagination, but now it seems that this is very likely to be true.

Originally, the giant snake deep inside the Qilian Mountains was a masterpiece, but I didn't expect to find another brother for it here. Is this a rare coincidence or a species we have never known before? This giant snake may live in the depths of the earth.

I was thinking randomly, and when I turned around, I suddenly looked at Wen Mo standing in front of the pile of white bones, frowned slightly as if thinking about something.

I was a little curious, so I stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how about it? Is there any problem?"

Wen Mo pursed his lips, "It's a bit strange that this giant snake died here."

"Strange?" I asked quickly, "Why are you weird? Why do you say that?"

Wen Mo took a deep breath, "Have you ever seen the corpse of a snake that died naturally in the wild?"

I really didn't pay attention to it before. Now when the scriptures asked this, I recalled that it was true. I had never seen the corpse of a dead snake in the wild.

Wen Mo continued: "Snakes like to live in dark and humid underground, so they will drill holes. Even before they die, they will drill into the hole and die. They usually do not die in the wild or in the water."

I pointed to the pile of snake bones in front of me, "Then how should these be explained?"

Wen Mo nodded, "So, I think this snake is dead strangely." As he said that, Wen Mo raised his flashlight to search for a pile of snake bones. Suddenly his expression changed, and he reached out to buy a piece of his spine from it.

I also leaned over and shone it with a flashlight, and was shocked. The vertebrae of the snake had obviously been deformed and seemed to have been under heavy pressure.

I said, "Is it hit to death? You look at the bones as if they were pressed by something?"

Wen Mo shook his head gently, "Actually, this is a bite mark! This snake was bitten to death!"

Wen Mo's words made me unbelievable. Such a huge snake could kill it. If there were really such an animal, how huge this thing would be! Thinking of this, a cool air suddenly ejaculated on the back of my neck.

I asked Wenmo nervously: "Is there really something bigger than this snake? If so, where can it hide?"

Wen Mo did not speak, but turned to look at the dark cave where the river water poured into. I could understand what Wen Mo meant, so I couldn't help but turn to look over. The cave with a diameter of more than ten meters would make people frightened every time I saw it.

Although the situation here is very similar to the situation at the location where I came in from outside just now, the river water poured into the cave. But they gave people a completely different feeling.

My eyes were staring at the dark cave in front of me in a daze. The entrance of this cave seemed to have a special power that made people frighten, but it could attract you to see it unconsciously. Gradually, I found that something seemed to appear in the depths of the cave. Suddenly, two blood-colored red dots appeared in the absolute darkness, and they became bigger and bigger!

It was like two red eyes. I had seen these red eyes more than once. A chill that rose from the depths of my soul immediately shivered. I subconsciously exclaimed, and couldn't help but take two steps back, tripped down, and almost fell down. I stabilized my body and looked into the hole. When I looked into the hole, I found that the red eyes I had just seen had disappeared.

At this time, Yuanxiao came back, holding a few items in her hand, which looked like two pieces of uncensored jade, "Zhuoran, are you okay?"

I touched the cold sweat that oozed out of my forehead, then waved my hand, "It's okay, let's leave quickly! I don't know how Annaduo is now!"

Yuanxiao said: "From the clue she was able to leave the hook knife for us just now, she seems to be in no danger for the time being."

I walked forward, "It has been so long, but I still can't take it lightly because there is still no trace of Annaduo."

We continued along the shallows and arrived at the stone steps that had just come down from Lantern Festival.

The bottom of the stone steps leads to the shallows, and the upper part is basically the platform of the passage that I just walked through at Lantern Festival. There is a terrace in the middle of the stone steps.

Wen Mo pointed to the terrace above and said, "There should be the altar for the sacrifices and sacrifices."
