Chapter 42: Giant-eyed snakes, sixteen earth-penetrating dragons

Just as Su Mo was looking at the roof of the temple, the others also saw this huge strange eye. They all changed color in horror and stepped back.

The huge strange eye turned in the air and fell directly to the ground.

Now everyone could see clearly that this thing looked like an eyeball, but was actually a translucent fleshy ball covered with a layer of bluish-white film and a black thing in the middle, so it looked like a huge eyeball.

After the strange ball fell to the ground, the thin film on it suddenly broke, and hundreds of strange black snakes flowed out from it!

These strange snakes were exactly the same as the ones everyone had seen at the entrance of the valley. They were all several dozen centimeters long, with black scales all over their bodies and black tumors on their heads.

But it is the guardian of the ancient city of Jingjue, the cock-combed snake known as Jingjian Ahan!
So many crested snakes flowed out of the meat ball at the same time, entangled and twisted together, like a ball of flowing black liquid, crawling towards the crowd. Their bodies were covered with sticky liquid, looking both terrifying and disgusting.

Fatty Wang hurriedly raised his gun and prepared to shoot, but Su Mo said in a deep voice:

"Don't shoot, it's useless!"

There are at least hundreds of black snakes here. Not to mention that there are not that many bullets. Even if every bullet can hit the snake body without wasting, the heads of these snakes can bounce up and continue to attack people even if seven inches are cut off. Moreover, the toxins contained in their teeth are very terrible, which can kill people in just a few seconds.

If there is a barrage of gunfire, it is inevitable that someone will be bitten!
After Su Mo finished speaking, he took out a can of alcohol from his backpack and threw it into the middle of the snake group.

Fatty Wang immediately understood and raised his hand and shot.

boom!
With a loud bang, the solid alcohol was shattered by Fatty Wang's shot and began to burn violently.

Hundreds of black snakes were instantly ignited by the alcohol, twisting and dancing wildly in the flames.

Su Mo might be able to use the Buddhist Lion's Roar or the Qilin Bloodline to drive away these crested snakes, but their numbers are too large. Once they run to the Jingjue Underground Palace, they may continue to attack everyone.

It would be better to just burn them to death with fire while they are still twisted and tangled together, so as to solve the problem once and for all!

After the solid alcohol was shattered by Fatty Wang's gun, it turned into a flame and burned in the snake group. Many black snakes in the group were quickly burned to death, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

But there were still many snakes at the edge of the snake group that were not burned by the flames and began to flee in all directions, with some even crawling quickly towards the crowd.

Seeing this, Shirley Yang hurriedly took Chu Jian and others to beat the black snake with an engineering shovel. After killing it, they directly put it into the fire.

However, there were still too many poisonous snakes that were not burned by the fire. Once they scattered, they swept towards the crowd like a tide, and crawled extremely quickly, reaching Shirley Yang and others in the blink of an eye.

Although Shirley Yang and her team waved their engineering shovels and kept hitting the monster snakes, there were too many of them and they could not stop them at all, so they could only retreat step by step.

At this moment, Su Mo suddenly rushed to Shirley Yang and the others, then gathered his strength and roared:

"retreat!"

He did not use all his strength in this roar.

After all, Shirley Yang and others were right behind him. If he used all the power of the Buddhist Lion's Roar, he would probably injure Shirley Yang and others instead.

People with weak bodies like Ye Yixin and Professor Chen are likely to be distracted by the yelling.

Therefore, Su Mo only used half of his strength.

But the general strength is already very considerable!

A powerful holy power of the Qilin bloodline instantly spread out with the roar, and the entire temple seemed to be shaking due to the sound waves.

The black snakes seemed to feel the power of the Qilin bloodline and instantly retreated and dispersed like waves hitting rocks.

At this time, Fatty Wang and Hubayi quickly brought two cans of gasoline, poured a lot of gasoline around the black snakes, and then set them on fire again. Soon, the snakes were surrounded by flames, and they had no way to attack!

Hundreds of snakes were quickly burned into charcoal in the flames, and the air was filled with a burnt smell that was very pungent.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Su Mo made a timely judgment and burned them directly with alcohol. Otherwise, once these black monster snakes spread out and attacked, the people in the archaeological team would definitely be killed or injured!

This was the second time Su Mo used the Buddhist Lion's Roar, so everyone was no longer shocked.

But when they saw that Su Mo could actually drive away the snakes with just a roar, they all admired him very much.

Su Mo then asked everyone to check the surroundings to see if there were any black snakes that had escaped.

At the same time, he was also observing the roof carefully.

The roof was very smooth and flat, and there was no visible passage. No one knew where this huge snake egg, like a meat ball, came from.

It was not a big deal to take a look, but he found something unusual inside the temple.

There are a total of sixteen stone pillars in the temple. Each giant stone pillar has a pattern of six eyes on it, and the bases are all hexagonal. Each of the five outer sides is engraved with very small symbols, namely hungry ghosts, sheep heads, barbarians, people with giant pupils, and snake-bodied human-faced beasts representing the guardian gods.

Huba looked at the stone pillars carefully and said to Su Mo:

"Master, I saw that the arrangement of the stone pillars is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons that penetrate the earth. It looks like a mechanism!"

Hubayi possesses the secret art of sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui, so from the arrangement of these sixteen stone pillars, one can see that there is an array of sixteen earth-penetrating dragon mechanisms hidden within it.

Among these sixteen stone pillars, only one is a real dragon that has passed through the earth veins.

If you want to open the underground palace, only this stone pillar can unlock the mechanism!

Although Su Mo possessed the first level of the seventh grade Buddha skill, and used it together with the Ziwei visualization method, he could see the location of the real earth dragon through the magnetic field and the weather of the earth veins.

But he is not good at this kind of mechanism.

This kind of ancient metaphysical mechanism often contains certain traps, and if it is operated incorrectly, it may cause danger.

He knew that Huba had studied the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Secret Art for a long time and had quite a lot of experience in these secret techniques, so he nodded and said:

"I can see that there is a hidden earth vein under that pillar. You can try that side first!"

When Huba heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

If Su Mo had not seen the atmosphere in the pillar, Huba could only knock on the stone pillars one by one and determine whether there were any holes in them by the sound.

However, Su Mo used the Ziwei visualization method and the ability of the seventh level of the Buddha skill to see at a glance where the real earth dragon was, saving a lot of energy.

Hubayi then walked to the stone pillar and gently tapped the floor tiles next to it with a small geological hammer, and sure enough, a hollow sound was heard from it.

He then called Fatty Wang over, and then, following the formula in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Secret Art, he whispered:
"A thousand miles to find a dragon, look for it on the left and right, follow the yang and go against the yin, follow one of the five..."

As they were talking, the two men turned the hexagonal stone trough. After turning it a few notches, they heard a slight creaking sound from under the floor tiles. Then the two hollow floor tiles sank, revealing a dark tunnel entrance!
