Chapter 15: The Serpents Walk by Night
Zhang Yue ran over first, and he seemed to have gone crazy for immortality, and disappeared after a while.
Brother Kun chased after him ridiculously fast, although it was daytime, his speed was not much worse than at night, and soon Ji Chen and the others even lost Brother Kun.
Because they couldn't run anymore, the rest of the people stopped and gasped for breath, Ji Chen coughed while observing the surrounding environment, and before they knew it, they had run into a canyon, which had already deviated from their original route.
Zhang Yue ran away, and the remaining few people had to continue looking for him, of course, they hoped that Brother Kun could catch up with him and then forcibly bring him back. So the group decided to continue in the direction they had run, perhaps meeting the two of them on the way back.
This canyon is extremely long, the cliffs on both sides are steep and steep, and from below, there is only a glimmer of sky left on the head, which is like being slashed on the mountain with a magic axe, and the split is very heavy and heavy, and then the crack is formed.
It was hard for Ji Chen to imagine that there would be such a large canyon in a mountain, and they didn't even notice it from the outside.
The canyon was full of huge piles of rocks and weeds, and several people could only walk and climb to advance.
Ji Chen's heart really doubted that they were following the wrong direction, because Brother Kun could still shuttle in such terrain, but Zhang Yue estimated that he would have to fall after running two steps here.
Several people walked and crawled forward for a long time, and the skin of their feet and hands was constantly worn out and grew, and the pain caused by this process made several people's foreheads break out in cold sweat.
Just when several people couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to rest, there seemed to be a slight vibration under their feet, and there was a faint rumbling noise in their ears.
Ji Chen's first reaction was an earthquake, and he suddenly felt very panicked in his heart, when he encountered an earthquake in this place, wouldn't it turn directly into meat sauce?
Just when Ji Chen was panicked and wanted to find a place to hide, Sun Jian leaned over on a huge rock, and after a moment, he stood up and looked up into the distance and said, "It shouldn't be an earthquake, there may be a big waterfall ahead."
As soon as Sun Jian said that there was a big waterfall, Li Xue became interested and said that he wanted to see it. Ji Chen said that it didn't matter, anyway, it was in front of him, and his route was the same as theirs, so he agreed.
Zhang Lan has become very silent since his index finger was bitten off in the grassland last time, and he basically doesn't talk much. Every time a few people put forward any suggestions or start a topic, she dealt with it very casually, and Ji Chen didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to let her do this for the time being.
As the few people continued to walk forward, the vibrations around them became more and more intense, and Ji Chen felt that his heart was beating with this frequency unconsciously. The rumbling sound grew louder and louder, almost to the point of deafening, and when they saw the waterfall with their own eyes, they could hardly hear anything other than the splash.
This waterfall flows down from a hole in the rock wall on the left side of the canyon, and the position of the hole is very high, the diameter is large, and the amount of water in it is very large, and it pours out from the hole, so this waterfall is formed.
Below the waterfall is a large pond of about 100 square meters, blocking everyone, and a large river is formed along the canyon on one side of the pond.
Strangely enough, there are many caves of various sizes on the rock wall around the exit of the waterfall, densely distributed around the waterfall, the density of which may not even be acceptable to people with a phobia of denseness, these large and small caves make the cliff face look full of holes.
The sound of the waterfall was noisy, and Ji Chen and the others had numb ears, and their hearts were inexplicably irritable. So they decided to keep going, around the pond and along the left side of the river in the middle of the canyon, leaving the place.
Although the energy here during the day has always been very full, and it does not make people feel physically tired, but the inner fatigue cannot be eliminated, and after walking about the same distance, several people decided to sit down and rest.
Ji Chen picked up some water by the river and poured it into his stomach, and took some fruit to eat, this fruit was no longer the black fruit they found when they first came, but a cherry-sized round ball fruit that was re-picked on the road, which had a very sour taste, but had no side effects on people, so they picked a lot of it to satisfy their hunger.
In fact, where there is a river, Ji Chen can catch two fish to open meat, but the fish here is not only unacceptably long, but more importantly, even a fish can talk, and when they think of this, who of them can still eat.
After filling his stomach, Ji Chen found a stone to rest on it, and the other three also found a stone to lie down.
Before he knew it, it was dark, Ji Chen sat up from the stone, and saw Zhengxiang who was still sleeping with Sun Jian, he stood up and looked around, and couldn't help shaking his head, it had been almost a day, and there was still no trace of Brother Kun and Zhang Yue, which really made him very worried.
Ji Chen woke up the others one by one and prepared to continue to set off.
Since their resting place is not very far from the waterfall, there are still some caves scattered around the wall.
Several people were walking, and suddenly a stone slab fell from the cliff wall and almost hit Sun Jian. Several people hurriedly retreated to take a look, and when they boarded, they couldn't help but feel numb.
Each hole in the wall has a snake's head sticking out, and these holes of different sizes correspond to the size of the snakes. Snakes crawling out of large holes are as thick as buckets, and snakes crawling out of small holes are as thick as wrists.
Ji Chen turned his head to look near the waterfall, the entire cliff wall was densely packed with snakes, these snakes were of different species, and their bodies were also colorful, some snakes had red cold eyes, some snakes had a pair of small wings at seven inches, and some had two heads, the only thing they had in common was that they opened their mouths, and their mouths were full of two terrifying cyan fangs. The scales of the snakes glistened in the white moonlight, and they writhed like walking talismans.
Ji Chen's legs were a little out of the control of his brain, and they began to weaken. The two girls even covered their eyes and squatted on the ground screaming.
At this moment when several people were frightened and lost their minds, several snakes had slipped out of the hole and descended down the rock wall, while Ji Chen's mind was still in a blank state.
Soon, some snakes found a few people, and they surrounded Ji Chen and the others one after another, and then they all bowed their bodies, as if dozens of bows and arrows were aimed at them. Ji Chen felt that he was like a piece of tissue paper at this time, which would be penetrated at any time.
Sun Jian picked up a stone and held it in his hand, but he didn't dare to act rashly, Ji Chen was still at a loss in place, Sun Jian immediately shouted to him: "Take out the lighter!"
Only then did Ji Chen react, hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it, and then held it in front.
But the snakes didn't seem to be afraid of fire, and they didn't react at all, just stiffly holding their bodies motionless at them.
After a long time, the serpents still did not move around the men, neither letting them go nor attacking them.
Ji Chen gradually calmed down, looked around, and found some clues.
In addition to the dozens of snakes that surrounded them, hundreds of other snakes ran to both sides of the river, lined up neatly on both sides. The number of these snakes is amazing, they line up the river for a long time, Ji Chen looked up and found that everywhere he looked was full of snakes, and in the farther away, he occasionally found one or two red lights in places that could not be seen clearly, indicating that there were also there.
Ji Chen felt that their battle was very similar to that of the big brother of the underworld, and he couldn't help but stare at the river, and a bad feeling flashed in his heart.
