Chu Yu didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Xiran's jokes with Xing Lu, and his chaotic and happy emotions made him not know what he was eating after the whole meal.

After the meal, the team continued to move forward. I didn't sit in the car for long, and I came to a lower peak, the Misty Mountain. As the name suggests, the entire mountain is shrouded in a mist during the day, and the outline of the peak looms in the sunlight.

"Be careful for a while, it's so humid here during the day, and it is estimated that there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats, ants and other things on it, so everyone must pay attention to safety at that time." Uncle Cang opened his mouth to remind everyone.

It is a hill that no one usually steps on, and the road up the mountain is not trodden on or formed. The whole team can only determine the path in the direction indicated by the compass. Stumbling along the way, but there was nothing difficult to encounter, except for some mutant bushes that kept stretching out vines to block everyone's progress, there were only some small mutant animals in the way, because the level was too low for He Lei and Han Yifeng, who were walking in front of the team, to hunt easily.

The more I went up, the more I felt that there was some eerie silence around me. All the mutated animals that used to appear from time to time were gone, and I only felt that the people around me who were getting more and more damp slowed down and looked around vigilantly.

"Ho!" the crowd who were cautiously moving forward were startled, and they all looked at the person who made the voice with accusatory faces.

He pointed to something on the ground and jumped to his feet, "Snake... It's a snake!" trembling in his voice could not be concealed.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a brown object like a rope entrenched in the maroon red earth, and if you looked closely, it was really a snake! But there was such a big movement just now, and it didn't move a moment in its laziness, and some of the brave people stepped forward to check it and told everyone: "Don't worry, this is a mutated black snake, which lives on frogs and rodents, and is not poisonous." ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"You see, its head is oval, its tail is elongated, and although it is much larger, it is still a typical non-venomous snake, and as long as we don't provoke them, I don't think they will entangle us casually. ”

The man's words put everyone at ease and continued to climb up. Xing Lu didn't like the cold and greasy touch of the snake's appearance, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace and passed past the entrenched black snake.

"Why Sister Lulu, are you afraid of snakes? Don't worry, it's not poisonous, even if it gets entangled, I can save you in time, hehe~" Thinking that Xing Lu was timid and afraid of snakes to go so fast, Chu Xiran teased her.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't like it, I hate the cool touch of them. Xing Lu, who didn't stop for a moment, replied.

"Then you don't like to eat snake meat, it's a pity, all kinds of snake meat are rare delicacies, if you can't eat it, you will lose much taste experience!" Seeing that the black snake was a little eager to catch an open meat, Roach couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Not really, as long as what I come into contact with is not a living snake, I really don't like to be alive but cold as if something dead is moving around in my hands, a little resistant, heh~" Seeing his loss, Xing Lu explained. As long as she doesn't kill snakes, she still likes delicious snake meat.

"That's right, Sister Lulu, I'm going to kill that snake and take it away, and you can cook it for me at night, okay?" Don't worry, I'll do it when you deal with snake skin and snake meat or something, you just need to command on the side, and then burn it at the end!" Luo Qi didn't wait for Xing Lu to nod after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the black snake entrenched on the ground.

It didn't take much effort, Roach's level 7 gold ability struck it seven inches with unmistakable accuracy, and the black snake, which was the size of a child's wrist, struggled a few times before losing its life. Quickly retracting into the space, Luo Qi turned around and followed Xing Lu and the others, leaving the people walking behind to look at him dumbfounded. There was some envy and regret in that way, regretting that he didn't make the first move, and let this young man collect this delicacy first.

Human beings have this kind of inferiority, and if things are left there and no one cares about them, they don't think there's anything wrong with it. But if someone takes away something that they don't think of possessing, then most people will feel that their possessions have been violated: that thing should have been mine, and let this guy pick it up, it's really a shit, shit!

Many people secretly decided in their hearts that they could not say anything about anything when they encountered such a good thing, and they paid careful attention to what was on the ground. Not to mention, they really saw a lot of snakes entrenched like this along the way. Because all of them were not poisonous, they did not suffer any harm when they were captured. Only one unlucky ghost was whipped by the snake's tail when he didn't hit the right seven inches, and his arm immediately swollen.

Roach can be said to have gained a lot, collecting more than a dozen snakes, large and small. But he was still not satisfied, and still searched carefully in the clearing he passed. Chu Xiran uncharacteristically didn't fight him, one of the two people paid attention to the surrounding mutant bushes attacking, and the other looked for the mutant snake and stepped forward to kill and collect it, and the tacit cooperation was abnormal.

"Xiao Xi likes to drink snake soup. Seeing Xing Lu's doubts, Chu Yu, who had been walking beside her, whispered the reason.

"Oh, really, let's go catch some snakes for her too!" Xing Lu said excitedly as soon as he heard that Chu Xiran liked it.

"Don't you dislike snakes?" I heard what she said just now, otherwise I would have caught them a long time ago. It's just that I don't worry about her, thinking that Luo Qi will catch a lot of my sister anyway, so he protects her around her.

"It's just that I don't like to touch it, and I'm not afraid to look at it, at most, I'll be in charge of guarding at that time, how about you kill the snake?" her proposal hit Chu Yu's heart, and she nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The two of them stood side by side and walked towards the snake that Xing Lu had spotted on the side. Chu Yu controlled the thunder ability into a small lightning bolt, which hit the snake's seven inches, and after a slight struggle, it was motionless. Chu Yu, who had collected the snakes, only now dared to believe that he and Xing Lu were fighting side by side.

After catching more than a dozen snakes like this, Chu Yu persuaded Xing Lu with some unsatisfied feelings: "Okay, there are quite a few, I'm afraid we will meet the powerful snake king later, we still have to retain some physical strength." This should be the longest sentence he said to Xing Lu, but somehow, she actually heard a hint of doting from it, and her pretty face quickly turned red because of the sudden shyness. nodded, and walked back to the place where Uncle Da and Uncle Cang were with Chu Yu.

"Young Master, have you also noticed something abnormal?" Uncle Da asked first.

"Hmm. Suppressing the joy of seeing Xing Lu's cowardly reaction just now, Chu Yu said seriously: "Something is wrong, how can there be so many snakes entrenched in the wilderness without moving?!"

"Also, there are more and more snakes on the road from just now, which is also a bit unreasonable. I looked around some of the snakes and found no signs that they were going to shed their skin. Uncle Cang then added.

"Could it be that it's the mating period for snakes?" When Uncle Da said this, because of Xing Lu next to him, he used a very low volume for the last few words, for fear that she would be uncomfortable. Even so, Xing Lu lowered her head and blushed without words.

"It's not like all the snakes are listless, it's easier to understand that these snakes are hibernating. ”

"But the temperature season is not right, it's so hot this day, how can snakes hibernate?!"

For a while, several people were a little unsure of the truth, and all kinds of speculations were put forward and then rejected.

"Forget it, things are not clear for a while, we only have to be careful ourselves, call them back first, stop catching snakes, safety first. Chu Yu decided.

"Okay, I'll call them. Uncle Cang turned around and left.

"You have to follow me all the time later, and don't leave easily. Chu Yu bowed his head and said to Xing Lu.

"Good. Although her own safety could be guaranteed, Chu Yu's concern for herself made her feel at ease from the bottom of her heart, and she looked up and smiled at him.

Chu Yu, who was attracted by Xing Lu's bright smile, felt relieved in his heart, as if the danger he was about to face next was not so difficult to cross, and he also showed a smile towards her.
