Chapter 580: Tiger Head and Human Body
And the direction the old man ran back then was that forbidden area!
"magma!"
"Rolling lava!"
The old man still clearly remembered what he saw when he ran to the highest point. A huge pit, with lava billowing out, the temperature was as high as 800 if not a thousand.
Even before he reached the edge, he felt the terrifying heat.
Could it be that their village has always been in a volcano?
But with a toad chasing after him, he could only run forward as hard as he could. The reason why Gu insects are so powerful is not only because they are highly poisonous, but also, if bitten by them, it is common for the skin to ulcerate, the seven orifices to leak, and the internal organs to suppurate.
This kind of pain before death is something no one wants to try.
The old man had seen that scene with his own eyes when he was a child. It was the leader of the village who punished a person and used the art of poisonous insects to make him suffer for seventy-seven forty-nine days.
"Fight!"
When the old man stood in the crater, he stopped, took out the machete from his waist, and prepared to fight the toad head-on. He really didn't have the courage to jump into the rolling magma.
"Dang!"
What frightened him was that when the knife in his hand came into contact with the toad's body, it made a sound of metal collision. Although the toad was in pain and jumped not far away like a ball, there was no trace of any damage to his body. The wound!
It can be said that ordinary swords and guns were useless against the toad at that time!
Moreover, during this exchange, his leg was swept by the toad's tongue, creating a gash. In just a few seconds, his whole body began to glow black.
It's all over the hands, arms, belly, and face! Spread quickly to the entire body!
Especially the legs, they rotted rapidly as if sulfuric acid had been poured on them!
"I will never suffer this kind of pain even if I die!"
The old man knew that if he continued, he would die from a punctured intestine and a stench all over his body. He didn't even know if this toad would eat it! Ordinary toads certainly won't, but it's hard to say for this football-sized toad.
He soon felt dizzy and had no strength.
"boom!"
After struggling in his heart, the old man at that time mustered up all his strength and jumped towards the rolling magma below when the toad attacked next time.
Although the magma is scorching, it only lasts a few seconds of pain. By then, he will definitely melt to the point where there is no residue left, and he will not know anything anymore. It is better than slowly being tortured by this poison!
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
It's just that nothing in this world is absolute. The moment the old man jumped into the rolling magma, he felt something was wrong, because the hot magma didn't make him feel very hot.
The hands and feet only sank, not melted! It was even like air, and he passed through it directly.
"boom!"
Five or six seconds later, he fell heavily onto a piece of land! It almost made his bones fall apart.
"phantom!"
"There is no crater! This rolling lava is a complete illusion!"
But this illusion is too real. The acrid smoke, the bubbling lava, and the surrounding volcanic rocks. Anyone who sees it will think it is real.
Also, how could there be such a realistic illusion in this world!
It's just that the old man at that time couldn't care about this at all. He fell down more than ten meters in the air and broke several bones. In addition, he was poisoned and was delirious. He couldn't even realize where he was.
He couldn't see clearly what was around him. He had no idea that he was lying at the entrance of a cave. Right above the cave, there is a word "witch" engraved on it. It's just that this character is not a modern Chinese character at all. If it is placed in front of any archaeologist, they will not recognize it.
And just when the old man thought he was about to die, a green snake about the thickness of his wrist and five or six meters long sprang out from the side. But instead of strangulating and devouring the old man, he was very humane and wrapped up the old man's body with his tail and brought him into the cave.
Especially after entering the cave, the snake bit its own tail and dripped some of the blood from its tail into the old man's mouth. The strange thing is that after the blood entered the old man's mouth, the poison on his body continued to recede.
Finally, they all dissipated!
Even the old man's internal injuries caused by jumping from above have improved a lot.
"snake!"
When the old man opened his eyes from the coma, the first creature he saw was a green snake that also opened its eyes and looked at him curiously! Involuntarily, he rolled over and quickly got up. Without even looking, he took out the machete on his waist and chopped off the snake!
But at this moment, he didn't have any machete or any weapons.
And soon, he felt something different. This green snake seemed to be very human, and its eyes were no different from those of humans! It looked directly at him, as if to say that it had no ill intentions.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes passed that the old man slowly let down his guard. Because it took such a long time, if the other party wanted to take action, he would have already done it, and even hanged himself when he was unconscious.
It shouldn't sit there forever.
At this time, the old man had time and mood to look at the surrounding arrangements.
This cave is not big, only seven or eight meters deep, and you can see the end at a glance. Moreover, he only noticed at this moment that there was no light in the cave. The surrounding light was lit by the lamp oil on the pillars on both sides.
There was nothing else in the cave, only a statue more than five meters high.
This statue was a bit weird, it was not a human at all, with a tiger head and a human body, standing upright on the ground, especially the two long arms, almost resting below the knees, and the length was longer than the legs.
There were two long snakes on the statue, one on the left and one on the right, starting from the head, entwined around the arms, and the snake heads were held in the hands.
Especially the eyes, making the other party look like alive, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is staring at the old man, which makes him feel a little scared.
"What is it?"
The old man didn't know what kind of ghost it was at the time, and he was a little confused. He had never heard of a monster with a tiger head and a human body. Moreover, in front of the statue, there was an incense table with an incense burner on it, and there was also a cushion in front, which seemed to be used for worship.
It was just covered with so much dust that it was obvious that no one had used it for many years.
"Where is this?"
"What on earth is this place?"
The first thing the old man wanted to understand was where on earth he had come to. Except for a green snake as thick as an arm and a statue with a tiger's head and a human body looking at him, there was no one else.
