Chapter 39 The Meaning of Numbers

I said in my heart that he was on the verge of fucking death, and this big man ran so fast that he hurriedly caught up with him.

Without climbing far, he heard the strong wind suddenly rise behind him. A huge thing climbed the rock wall with its claws and rushed out of the thick fog, like the Titanic coming out of the water, making a huge whimper and rushing towards the light ball composed of faint fire.

Although it was just a glimpse, with the help of the light emitted by the fire, I still saw the appearance of this huge thing.

It is a monster with a crocodile-like head, covered with black armor, thin and smooth. Unlike the crocodile, its eyes grow directly in front of its head, which is somewhat similar to the legendary dragon.

I noticed that its two beards were very long, like two snakes, wet and constantly twisting, which was very strange.

To be honest, this thing really shocked me. I didn't expect that there were such a huge and mysterious creature in the world. If there was a camera to take it now, it would be a sensation in the world.

In fact, when I was a child, I doubted that there were really dragons in the world. For example, in the twelve zodiac animals, the other eleven are real creatures. Why are only dragons fantasizing? I have read some information and said that because the dragon is a symbol of the Chinese nation, it has to be included in the twelve zodiac animals.

But I suddenly found it funny. Since the dragon is so important, why not put the dragon in an important position?

The first of the twelve zodiac animals is the rat, and China is a people who likes the dual number very much. It advocates the coordination of yin and yang, so auspicious words are related to even numbers, such as pairing, making a fortune in four seasons, etc., while the dragon, the symbol of our Chinese nation, ranks fifth among the twelve zodiac animals, which is indeed a strange. Thinking things.

So I have always believed that in the Yaoshun era when the twelve zodiac were formed, the dragon may be just a common animal, at least dragons and coffins are very likely to exist.

When I said it, these messy thoughts flashed in my mind in an instant. The giant cod has opened its mouth and bit down the ball of light composed of fire.

Those faint fires could not be avoided, and many of them were swallowed up by the giant codges.

But obviously, those secluded fires are not good stubbles. Those escaped secluded fires rushed up fiercely, like a group of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, crawling all over the head of the giant dragonfly. The giant codge made a tragic hiss, and his whole head turned into a burning fireball.

Wow - The roar of the giant cobra shook away the fog around, and the water vapor condensed into countless drops of water, hitting us, forming a downpour, which was very violent.

I didn't expect the roar of this giant cod to be so powerful. This is simply an artificial rain. No wonder the ancient book says that the dragon can call for wind and rain.

Drenched by the heavy rain, the flame on the giant codge was gradually extinguished, and the cave suddenly darkened again. I knew that the giant coy was still lying on the rock wall, and I didn't dare to neglect it, and I didn't want to risk my life to watch this magical creature, urging Nobita to climb forward.

After climbing for a while, Nobita said to me behind, "So, after a thousand years of fight, the giant dragonfly finally won?" I said, "It's not that simple. The number of fires is definitely more than that."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard countless flapping wings in front of me. The opposite hole suddenly lit up, and then thousands of fires rushed out of the cave, like a fire dragon, squeaking and rushing to the giant cod behind us.

Since we were only a few meters away from the opposite hole, the hot airflow almost burned my eyebrows.

But I also saw the true face of those faint fires. These guys are really bats. This is a white bat with a face like a mouse, but a pair of fangs out of their mouths, which looks particularly ferocious. They are burning with blue flames, but they will not be burned to death. In fact, it is not a flame, but a phosphorus powder in the bones of dead people.

I think these bats must live in the dead, get into the bones of the dead, and then stain their bodies with phosphorus powder as a weapon of attack or defense.

It is often said that the main component of ghost fire is white phosphorus. Because white phosphorus burns when it sees air, and the temperature is extremely high, it is difficult to extinguish. It can burn people into ashes in an instant, so it is mistaken for a fire of the underworld by the ancients.

I think this is also the origin of the name Youhuo! Because it has lived in dead bodies for a long time and feeds on dead bodies, this kind of bat is very aggressive to people. In those years, the country opened the ghost eye and recruited this kind of thing, which will lead to the extermination of the clan.

In ancient times more than a thousand years ago, this was indeed an irresistible natural disaster.

So, there should be a lot of corpses in the ghost's eyes to live in such a large number of fires. Bats are indeed special to sound**, and their eyes are almost blind. Their mustaches were completely correct before.

Now we are also learning what we used to be, lying motionless on the ground. The faint fire did not notice us and flew over our heads in a short time.

Nobita and I lay down for a while before we stood up and ran to the opposite hole. When I stepped on the ground, I couldn't help taking a breath. This feeling of being down-to-earth is really reassuring.

Then I pulled Nobita up and entered the cave together.

Before we left, we didn't forget to look back and saw that the fires were fighting with giant colossus. The scene was very spectacular, which made me feel like the battle between fire dragons and water dragons in myths and legends. I didn't expect to see such a spectacle in my life.

But the giant cobra's body was so huge that as soon as its tail swept, the whole cave began to tremble violently.

I saw countless faint fires knocked down by giant cowards and fell on the hair bridge and began to burn. My hair burned very fast, and a burning smell came to my face.

I am extremely grateful, because if we are a little later, we will definitely be buried in the fire, but I have never seen Xie Yuting and others, and I don't know if they have crossed the bridge and whether they will be trapped on the opposite side.

Nobita couldn't help pulling me when he saw me.

I looked at the whole crumbling cave, reacted, and ran out with him.

Through the cave, it was the place where I was kidnapped by the moustaches before. We ran forward in a panic with a flashlight, and saw that all the frozen Weiguo soldiers had their mouths open and their mouths were dark and burned by the fire.

Looking at hundreds of ancient corpses opening their mouths at you, this scene will make me unforgettable for the rest of my life.

But fortunately, these are dead things. We bypassed these strange corpses and glaciers and experienced several violent vibrations on the way. The ice cones and stones above our heads were like rain, and the crackling sound of the glacier came from around, and everything was extremely chaotic.

Fortunately, we were lucky, but we were scratched a few times and ran to the end of the cave hall at a very fast speed.

I immediately understood that this cave hall is also connected to the outer passage by a stone door, that is to say, it belongs to one of the maze, just like King Wei's tomb.

So now if we open the stone door, we will return to the strange corridor and may never be able to go out.

So I stopped and leaned my back against the stone door to avoid being hit by the falling stone overhead.

In the crackling noise like setting off firecrackers around me, I asked Nobita loudly, "How did you find this cave hall? Is there any way out of this maze!"

Nobita also learned from me, stood against the wall, frowned and said, "I and Yuting also entered the door randomly and happened to be here."

I said in my heart that this is over, and most of us can't escape.

Nobita saw my depressed face and shouted, "But instead of being buried here with these thousand-year-old ghosts, we might as well go out and try our luck!"

At this time, the beard on Daxi's back interrupted and said, "Your grandfather must know the secret of this corridor, otherwise they would not have found here so accurately. Didn't he say anything to you?"

"Grandpa!" I was thrilled and remembered the grandfather-like shadow I saw in the fog when I was kidnapped by the moustaches before. He made several gestures to me.

Ten, three, five, are these numbers the key to getting out of the maze? I didn't have time to think about it. I pulled Nobita to open the stone door and rushed out.
