Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 160 Desert Belly Snake

The mouth of the valley seemed to be a neat passage, but because of the high cliffs on both sides, the light in the passage was dim, and it was impossible to see how deep and far the passage was.

And the men and the camels fell on their seats near the mouth of the valley, and there were four camels and three men in all.

And to enter such a deep desert center, no matter what its purpose is, there should not be just four camels and three people.

But the companions of these three people actually didn't collect the bodies of these three people, and let them riot into the corpse wilderness, then something extremely urgent must have happened-

But what kind of urgency can it be, so urgent that it can leave the corpse of his companion behind?

At least in Poplar's opinion, the surroundings are calm and peaceful, and there is really no indication that anything particularly urgent or dangerous will happen here.

Poplar jumped off his horse and cautiously approached the men and camels lying on the ground.

Everyone else jumped off as well. Ding Lingling took two steps to catch up with Bai Yang, and went with him to check on the nearest dead man.

The man lay on the ground, and Poplar flipped it over, and suddenly found that his eyes were wide open and his face was blue.

"It was poisoned!" Bai Yang and Ding Lingling almost said in unison.

Ding Lingling went to check a camel next to her, and saw that the camel's mouth and nose were full of white foam, so she said: "The camel is also poisoned and died, it seems that there are some highly poisonous reptiles hidden in this vicinity!"

"Do you think it's a desert scorpion?" asked Poplar.

"It's hard to be sure of this, unless you do a careful inspection!" Ding Lingling raised her head and looked back and forth, "This place happens to be in the vent, and it is under the shadow of the mountain, I estimate that these people arrived here at noon, so they sat down to rest for a while, but they were suddenly attacked by poisonous insects, otherwise it would be impossible to kill three people and four camels at once!"

Poplar nodded, reached out and pressed the dead man's neck, and said, "The corpse is not particularly stiff, and it doesn't smell like any rancidity, it should be this tragic incident that happened at noon today!"

As the two of them examined the dead man and the camel, the others slowly approached.

Hong Xing opened his mouth and said, "With the vigilance of a camel, if there really is any poisonous insect crawling closer, it should get up and shout, right? Why did so many camels die?"

Bai Yang and Ding Lingling both felt that what Hongxing said was very reasonable, and they couldn't think of the reason for a while, so they all turned their heads to look at Chen Dalin.

But he saw that Chen Dalin did not check the dead people and dead camels on the ground, but stomped the ground with his feet, muttering: "The ground is so hard, unless it ......"

He raised his eyes to look at the dead people and the dead camels, and before he could finish his words, the two jade hummingbirds, which had been resting on Ding Lingling's shoulders, suddenly flew to their feet, and at the same time chirped wildly.

Ding Lingling was taken aback, and was about to open her mouth to tell everyone to be careful, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of her, and a long shadow actually shot out from the stomach of the person who fell to the ground, and Ling Xuan flew into the air and pounced on the poplar.

"Be careful!" Ding Lingling screamed.

Fortunately, Poplar had already seen the shadow, but the red apricot was standing beside him, and if he dodged and jumped away, the shadow would fall on the red apricot.

At that moment, there was no time to think about it, and Poplar stretched out his hand and pushed it towards Hongxing.

The red apricot was caught off guard and was pushed by the poplar and stumbled. Poplar himself relied on a push and fell directly backwards to the ground.

As soon as the shadow fell into the air, its long body actually twisted in the air, still rushing towards the poplar who was sitting on the ground.

Frightened, Poplar hurriedly rolled to dodge, when he heard a sharp roar, and the golden-eyed eagle swooped down from the sky like lightning, and its two claws grasped the shadow with unmistakable accuracy, and flew high again with the vibration of its wings.

Poplar breathed a sigh of relief, but Tie Niu caught up from behind at this time, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Poplar up.

Turning his head to look at the corpse on the ground, he suddenly saw a small hole in the corpse's stomach, and the shadow just now undoubtedly came out of this small hole.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and heard Chen Dalin shouting repeatedly: "Hurry up, let's get out of here quickly!"

"What the hell is this, how did it come out of a man's belly?" asked Hongxing, her face pale from the fright.

"This is called a desert pit viper!" Chen Dalin replied with a frightened face, "This is not an ordinary pit viper, it will burrow into the stomachs of people and animals, eat the internal organs of people or animals before leaving, so it is called a pit viper! This kind of pit viper will generally hide in sand piles or soft mounds, and suddenly come out to bite people or animals to death when they are unprepared." The red girl is right, the camel is extremely alert, and the only one who can bite the camel to death by surprise in the desert is this desert belly snake!"

"But the sand in this place is very shallow, and the ground is full of hard rocks, where did this desert belly snake come out and bite these people and camels to death?" Iron Bull asked.

"Because of the hard ground in this place, I didn't think it was a desert snake. But I reckon this place is only the surface, but there are many holes below the ground, and there are many small holes that lead up to the ground. These pit vipers usually hide in the ground, and when people or animals pass by, they suddenly burrow out of small holes and attack people or animals. If you open these people and camels, there will be little holes under them!"

Several people looked at each other, but no one dared to reach out to look at the dead man and the dead camel.

Poplar opened his mouth and said: "Since the old man said so, I don't think we need to open these dead people to check, hurry up and get on the camel and go, so as to avoid anything from happening later!"

Several people felt that Poplar was right, and they all rolled over and climbed onto the camels.

Tie Niu was a little uneasy, and asked: "This desert snake is so venomous, the Golden Pupil Condor will catch it, will it turn around and bite the Golden Pupil Condor!"

Bai Yang couldn't help but smile and said: "Eagles are the nemesis of snakes, they can accurately grasp the vital points of snakes, so that snakes can't move at all, not to mention that the Golden Pupil Divine Eagle is more spiritual than ordinary eagles!"

As he spoke, he looked up at the golden-eyed condor in the sky.

As if in response to his words, the Condor hovered in the air with a few clear chirps.

But before the golden pupil eagle screamed, several camels suddenly neighed in unison, especially the male camel walking in the front, who was even more restless, almost lifting Chen Dalin off his hunchback.

Poplar and Iron Bull had already given way to the side of the road so that the others could go first, but suddenly something like this happened, and even the camels under their crotches became agitated.

Poplar hurriedly looked up, and was shocked to find that the road in front of him was still empty just now, but now there was a gray shadow, and at least dozens of poisonous snakes came out of nowhere.

The snakes were dark gray in color, and their bodies were only the thickness of their thumbs, but each one had a triangular point, which looked like a poisonous snake.

"How did these snakes all escape, didn't the old man say that they would only hide in the shadows and carry out sneak attacks?" Iron Bull asked in surprise.

"I don't know, I've never seen so many pit vipers crawling out of the road at the same time!" Mr. Chen said.

At this time, more than a dozen camels became more and more restless, especially the male camel in the lead, because he was strangled by Chen Dalin and could not turn around, so he could only neigh and retreat step by step.

As soon as it retreated, the other camels followed suit.

"Old man, these snakes are lying on the ground anyway, how about we just drive the camels to run over?" asked Poplar.

Because the neighing of the camel rang in his ears, Poplar had to raise his voice.

"No, you didn't see the camel go straight back? I guess apart from these little snakes, there is no danger!" Chen Dalin also replied loudly.

Before he finished speaking, Hongxing suddenly exclaimed, and said straightly: "Look, another snake has come out, what a terrible snake!"

Bai Yang and the others immediately looked fixedly, and sure enough, they found that the dozens of small snakes on the ground were swimming to both sides like a tide, and another much larger poisonous snake swam out from among the small snakes with its head held high.

The snake wasn't particularly huge, but it was at least as thick as a child's wrist.

It was also gray, but the gray on its body shimmered with a metallic luster.

The strangest thing is its head.

Its head is also triangular in shape, but between its two green eyes, there is a bulge.

The bulging golden light shone brightly, and it felt like it was in the middle of the snake's head, with a golden lump on it.

"The Golden Crown Snake King! This is the Golden Crown Snake King! This is a big trouble, we will definitely not be able to get by!" Chen Dalin exclaimed.
