Chapter 671: Mountain-like Python
As the crowd got closer, the figure gradually became clearer. It was actually a giant python as big as a mountain. Its scales were glowing with a faint light, and its two fangs were shining coldly.
The giant python noticed everyone and suddenly opened its bloody mouth, a foul-smelling air blew in their faces, and at the same time it spit out a thick column of venom.
The old man waved his hands quickly, muttering something, and a blue light instantly appeared in front of him, forming a huge shield. This shield was like an indestructible wall, firmly blocking the inky black venom outside.
Seeing this, Lin Ze and his companions spread out without hesitation and attacked the giant python from different directions. Lin Ze held a sharp sword and moved nimbly around the giant python's huge body, like a nimble swallow. He kept looking for the giant python's flaws, ready to give it a fatal blow.
Just as Lin Ze was about to launch another attack, the giant python suddenly seemed to have sensed his intention and swung its tail violently. The tail was like a thick iron rod, sweeping towards Lin Ze with the force of thunder. Lin Ze was startled and quickly dodged sideways. However, the speed of the tail was too fast, and he was still unable to completely avoid it and was hit by the tail.
This was a terrible thing. Lin Ze only felt a huge force coming at him, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string. He drew an arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Just as the python was about to take advantage of the victory and attack Lin Ze again, Lin Ze's companions launched a fierce attack from behind. Their attacks fell on the python like raindrops, successfully attracting its attention.
Lin Ze took the opportunity to get up from the ground, rubbing his painful body while observing the movements of the giant python. Suddenly, he noticed that the giant python's eyes seemed to be its weakness.
Lin Ze took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then concentrated all his energy, like an arrow shot from a bow, and rushed towards the giant python's head at an extremely fast speed.
At this critical moment, the sword in his hand pierced into the giant python's eyes like lightning.
With a sound of "Awooo", the giant python let out a heart-wrenching howl, as if the entire cave was shaken by the sound. Its huge body twisted in pain as if its muscles and bones were pulled out, and every struggle was accompanied by a violent vibration of the ground.
The body of the giant python was so huge that when it kept rolling on the ground, the surrounding soil and rocks were lifted up by it, forming a billowing cloud of dust. Everyone stood in the distance, watching this thrilling scene, and their hearts couldn't help but tighten.
Finally, after a loud bang that shook the earth, the giant python's huge body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that covered the sky and the sun. The dust spread out, as if the entire cave was covered by the dust.
Everyone stared at the dust and mist nervously. After a long while, the dust and mist gradually dissipated. When they looked closely, they saw that the giant python was lying motionless on the ground, obviously dead.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This giant python was so terrifying that if they hadn't worked together, it would have been difficult to subdue it.
After a short rest, they continued their journey to explore the cave. The road ahead was still bumpy and seemed to have no end, but they had no intention of retreating.
Because they all knew that there must be more shocking secrets hidden deep in this hollow, and these secrets could only be revealed if they continued to explore forward.
As they walked along the passage, strange lights began to flicker on the surrounding stone walls, as if there were pairs of eyes watching them in the dark.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently and countless vines stretched out from the stone walls on both sides, quickly wrapping around everyone like snakes.
The old man hurriedly cast his shield again, but this time there were too many vines and the shield was shaky.
Lin Ze's eyes were sharp, and he swung the sword in his hand without hesitation. With a "crack", the vines beside him broke. He shouted loudly: "Everyone concentrate your firepower and attack the roots of the vines!"
Everyone moved at the sound and focused their attention on the roots of the thick vines. They kept slashing, hacking and stabbing with their weapons. For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were intertwined, and shouts of killing were heard one after another.
After a fierce fight, the vines finally couldn't bear the fierce attacks and broke apart. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could catch their breath, a huge stone door suddenly appeared in front of them.
This stone door towered into the sky, like an insurmountable barrier, blocking their way forward. It was huge and heavy, giving people an unshakable feeling, as if it was the guardian of this world, standing there silently, guarding the secrets behind the door.
The stone door is engraved with dense mysterious runes. These runes are like ancient spells, exuding a powerful aura. They are intertwined to form a complex and mysterious pattern that makes people feel awe. These runes seem to warn people not to approach easily, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Seeing this, the old man hurried forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone door. His eyes were sharp, not missing any details. However, as he observed more, his brows furrowed more and more, and finally he said solemnly: "This rune seems to hide some kind of mechanism. If we rashly open the stone door, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."
Lin Ze's heart tightened when he heard this. He knew the old man's experience and knowledge very well. Since he said so, this stone door must be very difficult to find. Lin Ze pondered for a moment and decided to look for clues around to see if he could find a way to crack the stone door. So he gave the order to disperse everyone again and started a new exploration.
After receiving the order, everyone dispersed and carefully searched every corner around. Some people looked for clues on the ground near the stone gate, some looked up at the top of the stone gate, and some fumbled on the walls on both sides of the stone gate, hoping to find some hidden mechanisms or passages.
Time passed by, and the search did not make much progress. Lin Ze could not help but feel anxious. He prayed in his heart, hoping to find a way to crack the stone door as soon as possible, otherwise their journey would be seriously affected.
Just when Lin Ze was getting anxious, a companion suddenly shouted, "Come and see, there is a strange groove here!" Everyone rushed over and saw a peculiarly shaped groove on the stone wall, which was similar to the outline of a rune on the stone door.
