The Adventure of the Kecapi

Chapter 97

"Revelation, Brother Ceng!" hua Li shouted but it was too late.

The long snake tail had twisted Liu Ceng's body and this young man was startled, yet he had yet to move both of his hands, the long, large body of the snake had twisted both arms so that it stuck to its body and could no longer be moved.

Hua Li tried to break free, but in vain. He exerted his inner strength, but the snake's body was tenacious and could stretch so that his inner strength was also unable to make the snake relax his body.

In fact, the snake had now brought its muzzle closer to Liu Ceng's head, ready to annex the young man's head.

Since then Hua Li who felt disgusted and amused at the big snake, just stood away. But now seeing Liu Ceng threatened with danger, he quickly jumped forward and twice his right hand moved the stick piercing towards the snake's eyes that were about to grab Liu Ceng's head.

 "CRES....! Cres....!"

Blood poured from the pair of snake eyes that seemed to be in pain so much that his body scan at Liu Ceng loosened.

This opportunity was used by Liu Ceng to wriggle loose and he quickly moved his sword, this once the target was the snake's neck.

"Saw....!"

Once a sabet, the snake's neck was broken and its long body was wriggling and coiling. Liu Ceng used his feet to kick the snake's body out of the cave.

"Hold brother Ceng....!" hua Li exclaimed who, despite being disgusted, tried to examine the large cobra.

Liu Ceng undoed his intentions and looked at Hua Li in surprise, at the girl watching the snake's head.

"See brother Ceng. The snake was dead, but its head was still emitting a greenish glow! Even better, my sword could not injure the head of the snake! I thought there must be something inside the snake's head!" hua Li exclaimed who pointed towards the snake's head.

 "Oh, I'm Hua's sister! isn't it in the treasure chest that there's a cobra engraving. Is it possible that the engraving was meant to be this snake?" asked Liu Ceng who was looking at the caterpillar curiously.

"It seems so!" hua Li exclaimed who then both examined the huge snake.

Hua Li then crouched down checking the snake's head. He saw that a pair of eyes that had been injured by the prick of the twig had lost its green light that had been pushed when the snake was still alive.

But his head still let out light like that. Carefully, using his sword Liu Ceng incised the snake's scalp. It turned out that the skin was able to peel off, signifying that after the snake died, its head lost its immunity.

He carefully split the snake's head and saw an object as big as a chicken egg, shiny and pushing out a greenish light.

Liu Ceng picked up the thing and examined it.

"Sister Hua, I think this is what is called Mustika Serpent which is said to be this thing besides being very strong and can not be scratched any sharp weapon, can also suck all kinds of poison, can also suck all kinds of poison, it is a very effective remedy against people who are poisoned. We're lucky to find this mustika!" yelled Liu Ceng who handed the serpent mustika to Hua Li, but Hua Li would not accept it.

"Take it, big brother Ceng. if the snake deserves to be yours because you are a medicine expert" Hua Li said.

Hua Li let out a long breath.

"Okay, brother Ceng. Thank ye. You are very kind." said Hua Li who then put the snake mustika into his belt.

"Well, now I know. Of course these eight people were looking for treasure here but they were all killed by the big snake earlier. Let's just leave this creepy place" Liu Ceng said as he looked toward the eight human skeletons.

"Later on, Brother Ceng. This serpent mustika is indeed precious, but it is only for us, for me because you gave it to me. But what about the treasure?" hua Li asked who was staring at Liu Ceng's face.

"But where else are we going to look, sister Hua?" asked Liu Ceng who was a little desperate.

"Sister Ceng, I guess your opinion of the eight people who died here is not very suitable. Look, those digging tools are near each one, which means they probably got killed while still holding that digging tool. And look at the hoe tools and the shovel and the crowbar. In the eye of the device there are still clumps of soil. This means that they were or had been digging up the ground when they were killed. Also, I don't think they killed the snake. If killed by snakes, of course their bodies have been eaten by snakes in a long time. At first, the eight people who all held tools such as hoes, shovels and crowbars, would certainly put up a fight against the snake that attacked them. Before they were all killed, they could escape from the guha. What do you think, brother Ceng?" clearly at once asked Hua Li.

"You are indeed great, sister Hua. All your estimates are accurate and it's stupid I can't see all those marks. What is the conclusion then?" ask Liu Ceng.

"In my opinion, the conclusion is like this. Maybe when they entered this cave, there was no big snake and there was no bush in front of the cave. Presumably they dig here and before we draw any further conclusions, we should prove first whether my estimate is correct. Maybe they dug on the floor of this cave, digging not to take something, but to save something! How's it?" clearly at once asked Hua Li.

"Is it possible that the treasure is on this goa floor?" liu Ceng asked, pointing down.

"We'd better prove it, brother Ceng!" hua Li exclaimed a faint smile.

They then worked on what began with moving the skeletons of eight people outside the cave and then they used hoes and shovels to dig the floor of the cave.

Their hearts were elated and their hearts were pounding tense when they realized how the guha floor was not hard, meaning that it was not from rocky soil, but soft soil. This magnifies the possibility that the place has indeed been excavated by people.

The two became even more excited and dug in quickly. Finally their hoe met a hard object and after the ground above it was cleaned, a vault appeared.
