The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C82
He crawled on all fours, and by the time he reached the middle, Lin Yemao was unwilling to move forward no matter what. The two men behind him were sweating profusely. When they asked him what was wrong, Lin Ren Zhi turned his head slightly to the side. The carving on the front was split into two parts. It was carved using the Yang Inscription technique, so it was impossible to tell whether it was a piece or not.
My dad knew instantly why he was hesitating. Based on their current height, climbing forward by 100% would allow them to reach the sculptures on both sides. From their point of view, they could not see what exactly it was. They could only vaguely feel that it was a huge face that was compressed into a few flat lines.
He felt that he couldn’t walk this path either. Just up or down. The tallest line of the face was almost to the top of his head. My father is struggling to decide whether to go down or not. Lin Yemao suddenly let out a loud shout, and then he did not move at all. My father was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and saw the dark green gems reflected in the light of the flashlight. At some point, a dark green, twisted piece of armor had been affixed to it. My father immediately realized that this was a snake.
It was said that the more beautiful something was, the more poisonous it would be. From the looks of it, it was at least highly toxic. The snake did not come down, but only twisted and writhed at the height of an arm above their heads, but it did not cross the line. Even so, he only felt his scalp go numb. The countless dark green snake waists that he was using were not enough to fill his eyes. The snake seemed to be afraid of something as well. This was their only lucky moment. “There’s more up ahead,” said Lin Ren, taking a look at the front. “Let’s go down.” My father was the first to jump down, and it was a relief to see no movement beneath his feet.
It sounded a little fierce to me, and I would have to be careful to step on it.
“What’s the use? Unless you do not put all your strength into it, you will have to endure it sooner or later. ” My old man seemed to take it lightly. I felt my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
As they walked on the ground, they felt more at ease. As they continued to walk forward, their steps suddenly became unsteady.
In front of him was a gnarled wall, not exactly a wall.
Snake eggs.
A few of the eggshells had already been broken, but most of them were stuck to the wall by a dark green liquid. The bulges on both sides of the wall had reached a certain point.
The snake egg completely sealed the entrance, until the spot above his head was also covered in black lumps. My dad was furious. Through the gap in the snake egg, he could see that the road ahead was wide. They had blocked the exit, and they couldn’t destroy this thing.
The Song Family retreated a few steps, and the three of them vacated the space in front of them and threw a match forward. This time, it was useless. The jelly-like liquid didn’t even bother with them. The snakes on top of it had also noticed what was happening over here. Some of them were already moving down the road beside the egg.
This action was not small at all for my father and the others, who were like frightened birds. While the snake was slithering around, Lin Ren learned something from it and said, “This person seems to be safe, these snakes don’t dare to follow the human figure and climb down.”
My father only rolled his eyes at this and said nonsense. The Song Family’s eyes lit up and said, “Let’s retreat to the center of the statue.” No one objected to that. At this moment, Lin Ren Zhi hissed once again and said, “There is a dead end ahead.”
Lin Renzhi explained, “I was not paying attention just now and was blocked by the snake egg. “I looked at the wall and saw that there seemed to be no wall in front of us. When the light reached the egg, there was a faint shadow. The wall was so dark that I almost missed it.”
If it was a dead end ahead. Then, if they really burned the snake egg, they would be able to rest in peace here. No matter what the mechanism was, it was the nature of animals to protect their pups. Even if the snakes above them risked their lives, they would still come down to kill them.
