Chapter 323: The Princess in Distress
At this time, a slimy snail crawled onto the delicate instep, and Princess Martha hurriedly picked it open with a branch, but the slime stuck to the instep, and at first it was hot, and then it was numb and itchy.
"Is it poisonous?" Princess Martha scratched hard, but after scratching a few times, her skin became red and swollen, and the more she scratched, the more itchy it became.
Suddenly, she shook her whole body and reached out to tickle the strange tree, which was the smooth part......
Could it be that trees are just as afraid of itching as people, it's too ridiculous!
Brush Brush Brush ......
Princess Massa gently scratched the bark with her fingertips, once, twice, three times......
Click, click, click, click......
Strange to say, the iron-solid tree was scratched a few times before the blades of steel knives were released.
Princess Massa stared at the loose blade, her hand quickening, but she didn't dare to push too hard, lest it hurt it.
With a rapid acceleration, the strange tree actually trembled, and the leaves that had not yet fully opened drooped down as if they were boneless.
It worked! Finally it worked!
Princess Martha was so excited that she fainted, and she reached into the leaf with lightning and grabbed two hot and humid vermilions the size of a duck's eggβshe couldn't care if the leaf would suddenly lock, and pulled hard!
Poofββ
Click!
At the moment when she took out the Zhu Guo, the leaves of the strange tree suddenly locked, and it seemed to be shaking desperately in pain!
At the same time, a stream of blood arrows sprayed in Princess Martha's face.
The skin was like being burned, and a fishy stench came to her nostrils, and Princess Marsa stretched out her hand to wipe it, and she was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat!
Zhu Guo finally got her hands on it, she tried to take a small bite, it felt like hot blood, but with a thick sweetness, and then, as if her stomach was on fire.
She was frightened, and felt like she had climbed down the stone wall, holding her stomach and screaming, but she was reluctant to throw away the remaining Zhu Guo, and held on to it.
After that, she was burned to the ground, and the feeling was like drinking a jar of spirits, and before she knew it, she fell drunk in front of the fire and lost consciousness.
In a trance, two streams of air, one cold and one hot, collided in her body, and she felt as if she had jumped into an ice cave with a ball of fire, one moment hot, one moment cold, alternating between hot and cold, bursting into sweat, cold, cold sweat......
It's so uncomfortable!
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name from the depths of her heart.
"Princess Martha, Princess Marsa, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!"
"Princess Marsa, I'm Jiang Xiaobai......"
The call came and went, sometimes far away in the sky, sometimes close in the heart.
This must be a dream, do you like him, otherwise why would you dream of him?
As the sun and moon turned, she felt comfortable in the warm bath. She slowly opened her eyes, looking around blankly, the fire had been extinguished, the moon and stars were missing in the sky, but he was not in front of her in the dream, and the voice disappeared from her ears.
In her thoughts, she saw the strange tree on the stone cliff, and suddenly realized that she was still alive, and propped up her body in ecstasy, although her limbs were still weak, but this was only similar to the weakness after a long illness, as long as she was alive, there was hope for everything.
For the rest of her life, she burst into tears, tears of joy, and she laughed in her tears: "I'm still alive, this princess is still alive, giggle...... I'm so happy! Thank the heavens, thank the earth, thank you to the moonlight for illuminating the earth! β
Then she fainted again, but she still held the flute tightly and did not let go of her sleep.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a day, maybe 10,000 years, but anyway, she woke up again, this time licked by the tongue of a mutant pit viper.
When she opened her eyes, the red sun was on her head, and there seemed to be a hot current stirring in her body, and as soon as she sat up, she saw that the mutant pit viper was licking her face with her tongue with its head sideways, and she was immediately frightened like a wood carved clay sculpture.
Immediately afterward, her mother's saddle ran away, but the mutant pit viper swooped over and crossed in front, and she dodged and retreated, thinking that the mutant pit viper was going to attack her.
In fact, the mutant pit viper just had its long body lying across the edge of the mire, and it didn't look like it was about to attack someone.
Princess Martha was puzzled, but just in case, she retreated to the burning fire, keeping her eyes on the mutated pit viper in case it broke out.
Who knows, the mutant pit viper saw that she retreated and swam meekly again, Princess Martha was very puzzled, looked at the mire, and said in fear: "Bad...... Bad guy, what do you want to do? β
She knew that the mutant pit viper didn't understand, and tried to bypass her, but unexpectedly, the mutant pit viper was sideways in front of her, she somewhat understood, looked at the mire below, and guessed what danger might be in the mire. And the mutant pit viper seems to be familiar with this place, knowing where to go and where not to go.
But the question is, why does this pit viper react this way, is it too lonely to stay here and want to be friends with itself?
So, she carefully touched the head of the mutant pit viper, and sure enough, the mutant pit viper licked her jade hand affectionately, and rubbed her beautiful legs with the giant.
Ma Sagong is a native of Taiguo, and he is used to seeing people who train cobras, so he immediately smiled with relief: "Stinky snake, I can't think of you as astringent!" β
After knowing that the mutant pit viper had no malicious intent, as soon as she was happy, she wanted to reward it with a vermilion fruit, but at this time, she found that the vermilion fruit was gone, so she asked angrily: "Bad guy, did you steal the princess's vermilion fruit?" β
Of course, the mutant pit viper couldn't understand human speech, but just meekly swam around Princess Martha, and from time to time rubbed Princess Martha's jade feet with her cold body.
Princess Marsa immediately raised her head and saw that the leaves of the strange tree had opened, and only one of the three red vermilion fruits in it was left, and the others were not yet ripe.
Thinking of the danger at that time, I still have palpitations in my heart, sighed for a long time, and said with a smile: "Bad guy, shall we choose a name for this tree?" β
The mutant pit viper sneezed, as if to say: Isn't it good to call it an iron pot, why do you have to take a name, it's redundant!
"Huh." Princess Martha thought for a moment and said to herself, "This tree is as hard as iron, and the fruit is cold and hot alternately, so it might as well be called the "Tree of Ice and Fire"!" β
The mutant pit viper shook its head, as if to say: Anyway, you fed the pig, you have the final say!
"Ouch......" Princess Martha said with a bitter face, clutching her rumbling belly, "Bad fellow, I'm starving, can I find something to eat?" β
Knowing that it was useless to ask, she had to figure out her own way, she was very strange, she seemed to be in a coma for several days, but she was full of energy, and she thought it should be because of the Zhu Guo.
After looking around for a long time, there were no trees such as wild fruits, although there were still a few fruits on the Ice and Fire Tree, but that thing could only be eaten as medicine. This is Pit Viper Island, pheasants and hares are even more impossible, the only thing that can be eaten seems to be only snakes, but those snakes are extremely venomous, and they are in groups, how to catch them?
There are some flying in the sky, but unfortunately there are no guns, and there are ...... in the water Well, there's no telling who's going to eat whom!
I'm curious about what's in this quagmire!
After thinking about it, Princess Martha crawled along the stone wall through the mire, and the mutant pit viper followed closely behind.
After walking a short distance, she suddenly noticed that there were man's footprints on the ground, but they were already a little lighter.
Could it be that there are still wild people on this island, so where are they hiding?
She looked in horror, in fact, hoping that someone had come to this desert island. I also found that there were countless pit vipers entrenched in the trees and grass at the mouth of the valley, the big ones were two or three catties, and the small ones were ...... Well, even the smallest ones!
She knew that these pit vipers mostly feed on migratory birds, their color is the same as the bark of trees, and they are not visible from the trees, and once the birds land on the branches, they will eat them with a snap.
She cautiously approached the mouth of the valley, and was going to beat two snakes with a branch and roast them, but when she got closer, the snakes took a step back, and if they went a little faster, they scrambled to escape.
Hey, that's amazing! When they came, these snakes were not so scared, why did they become less courageous in two days?
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally figured it out, no wonder there was no trace of snakes around this swamp, her feelings were afraid of the smell of Zhu Guo, and the reason why the mutant pit viper was only entrenched was that she accidentally ate a fallen Zhu Guo, and then mutated.
But this statement is somewhat contradictory, since the snake is afraid of the smell of the vermilion fruit, how dare the mutant pit viper eat the fallen vermilion fruit?
But in any case, these snakes no longer dare to bite themselves, and if they think of a way, they should be able to catch a few.
Thinking of it, she became bold and childishly chased after those poisonous snakes.
In the meantime, the mutant pit viper has been following her, and for this reason she has also got a more high-level nickname, called "little follower", hehe, this little is not the other, it is intimate, just like the lover between Ni called the little baby.
Probably knowing that Princess Massa wanted to catch poisonous snakes, the mutant pit viper also volunteered to pounce on those poisonous snakes and successfully killed three of them.
Princess Massa was overjoyed, dragged the three dead snakes to the edge of the mire, skinned and disemboweled, and then made a fire to roast them, and with the unburned charcoal and wood ashes, this time the fire was much faster.
After a while, the oil was fragrant, and she was indeed hungry, she ate two at a time, and the remaining one was intended to feed the mutant pit viper, but it didn't eat cooked food, it was really an old sow who couldn't eat fine chaff, and she was ruthless, so she simply ate it all, and naturally she wanted to shit after eating, and the shit was really stinky, and the whole valley could smell it.
Considering that the mutant pit viper had not yet eaten, Princess Massa took it to the sea, wanting it to hunt in the sea by itself, and on the other hand, she also wanted to see if there were any boats passing by at sea - now how to leave has become a big problem, only waiting for the ships at sea to pass by, or riding the mutant pit viper back to land, but the mutant pit viper is a beast, even if it is psychic, it may not listen to people.
The sun on Viper Island is slightly southerly, and it is autumn, that is, the position of the sun is on the equator, so from this analysis, the position of Viper Island is likely to be north of the equator, or above and below the line of 20 degrees north latitude, and it will never be too far from the East China Sea of China!
