Chapter 45 Mysterious Liquid

"What strange phenomenon? That snake kissed you?"

Lantern Festival pushed me, "Go to you! Be serious!"

I waved my hand and signaled that Lantern Festival would continue.

Yuanxiao recalled: "Just as I rushed into the tomb, a big snake suddenly hangs down. I felt that the snake's letter was almost touching the tip of my nose. At that time, I felt my hair stand up. If I had opened my mouth, my heart would definitely pop out!"

"No! You are so fat, and you probably have to be fat on your heart. You will definitely get stuck in your throat." I said.

"Okay, don't interrupt, what strange phenomenon is?" Kong Xue urged from the side.

Yuanxiao pretended to be mysterious and lowered her voice, "The snake was so close to me at that time," and gestured with her hands, "I thought I would definitely not be able to escape this time, so I closed my heart and said, "I just kept my eyes open, do whatever I want! As a result, I didn't expect that the snake would retreat for a moment. I had time to escape!" Yuanxiao was a little proud after saying that, "Is it the momentum on my body that scared the big snake away!"

I thought about it and said, "No, it should be that the big snake doesn't like to eat fat meat!" Kong Xue also nodded in agreement.

"I'll go! You guys!" Yuanxiao pointed at us, "I really can't chat with you."

"However," I thought about the situation that Yuanxiao mentioned seriously, and it was indeed a bit abnormal, "The situation you mentioned is a bit strange, unless there is something special about you?"

Regarding the situation mentioned by Lantern Festival, I suddenly remembered that when we and Wenmo opened the stone door, they accidentally triggered the mechanism and attracted countless small snakes. At that time, I discovered that most of the snakes rushed towards me, but there was almost no one around Lantern Festival. But the situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't think much about it. Now, thinking about the scene at that time, coupled with the statement of Lantern Festival just now, it seems that this is not a coincidence.

So I pulled Yuanxiao and stood up and looked at him carefully, until I saw Yuanxiao a little frizzy, but I still couldn't see any difference. Could it be that I leaned over and sniffed my nose, and the smell of sweat made me frown. However, I still noticed a strange smell, which was a bit familiar, as if I had smelled it somewhere.

Suddenly I remembered that when we and Wen Mo just entered the ancient tomb, in the first tomb, Lantern Festival once trampled a clay pot with some sticky liquid inside, many of which were stuck to Lantern Festival's pants. Could it be because of this?

I reached out to grab Yuanxiao's pants, and Yuanxiao was startled, "Damn! Zhuoran, we have something to say, so we can't take off other people's pants!"

I ignored him and touched the liquid on his pants, which was still damp. I pinched some and put it under my nose to smell it. There was no particularly obvious smell. I took out the lighter, scorched it on my fingers, and smelled it again. This time I smelled a very obvious garlic smell.

So that's it, I know it in my heart. Fortunately, I was doing chemistry well back then! Kong Xue looked at my actions and asked, "Why did you find anything?"

I nodded, "The liquid stuck to Lanxiao's pants contains arsenic sulfide."

"Arsenic tetrasulfide? What is that?" Kong Xue asked.

I twisted my fingers, "I said arsenic sulfide, you may not understand it very much. I can tell you that it has another name, realgar!"

"Realia!" Kong Xue and Yuanxiao said in surprise in unison, "No wonder those snakes are afraid of me. However, I smell it myself, and it doesn't smell."

I explained: "That's because the taste organs of snakes are extremely sharp. They rely on the Jacobsonian organs in their mouth to identify the surrounding environment, so the slightest smell can be detected by snakes."

"Damn!" Yuanxiao patted me hard, "Zhuoran, I didn't see it! Little Doctor!"

Kong Xue next to her also had an expression of admiration, which greatly satisfied my vanity. "How could you know this knowledge?"

I smiled, "When I was in middle school, the biology teacher was very beautiful. In order to be a biology representative, I worked hard to learn this knowledge. Isn't that what I can do?"

Yuanxiao gave me a thumbs up, and the admiration on Kong Xue's face instantly turned into disgust, "If you learn knowledge, you will be inappropriate!"

"But I can't understand who put this liquid into that tomb? Could it be that the builder used it to defend against those snakes, and the rest was sealed in that tomb?" Lan Xiao said in confusion.

Kong Xue nodded after hearing this, "It is also possible that before us, there were tomb robbers here, and the liquid brought them?"

"It's possible, but no one knows the answer. Fortunately, this thing is indeed beneficial, but unfortunately it would be great if I could find some more!" I said.

"Would we look for it and see if there is any liquid in this tomb?" Kong Xue stood up and suggested.

"By the way," I remembered, "I saw two large clay pots in the middle of this tomb. Do you think there is such a snake-proof liquid inside?"

As we spoke, a few of us surrounded the middle of the tomb. There were two large clay pots, each clay pot was sealed with a lid, but each clay pot had a small hole. The three of us stared at the two clay pots tightly.

"How is it? Do you want to open it?" Kong Xue pondered for a moment and asked.

I gritted my teeth, "I'll do it!" I reached out and lifted the lid of the clay pot.
