Chapter 61: The Flying Snake
The stone cliff was five or six zhang away from where Yang Congyi was, passing through the gap in the forest, and it vaguely looked steep and abrupt.
Yang Congyi didn't think about it, put aside the miscellaneous trees, and ran towards the stone cliff. The catchers all stopped, Yang Congyi had already inspected a lot of places along the way, they naturally knew what he was doing, there was a place to hide, they didn't want to run anymore, if they ran again, they would not be bitten to death by snakes, but they would also die of exhaustion.
Approaching the stone cliff, I saw that the front of the stone cliff was very steep, and it extended to the right, and the more to the right, the higher the stone cliff, and the distance should be a cliff. However, the stone cliff is concave inward, and the mountain stone covers the top, so I don't know how far it can extend to the right.
Yang Congyi's location is just on the edge of the stone cliff that can be climbed, only two zhang high from the stone cliff above, although it is very steep, but it is not difficult to find a place to settle down. After a little observation, he used his hands and feet together, climbed the stone cliff in a few breaths, looked up, and saw that there was a flat land nearly one zhang wide between the stone cliff and the mountain, which extended to the right, and turned in front of the right, not knowing where to stretch out.
"Come here, this place can be hidden." Yang Congyi didn't have time to take a closer look, so he hurriedly beckoned to catch him quickly, and he climbed down the stone cliff.
When the catchers all came around, Yang Congyi then ordered: "It is very spacious above, you can collect more firewood, and once a snake comes, use fire to drive them away." Then he turned back and ran down the hill, not knowing what had happened to the next few catchers, but I hope they were faster than the snakes.
On the way down the mountain, Yang Congyi ran all the way. Although these people have no feelings for him, since they work together, they also have the righteousness of colleagues, so if you can protect them, you can protect them.
A mountain peak blew, and a fishy smell wafted between the snorts. Yang Congyi frowned, it's not good, the snakes are very close, it is estimated that it will not exceed half a mile.
"Anyone?" Yang Congyi hurriedly shouted down the mountain, and the speed of the rush under his feet did not decrease.
"Yang Zhutou, come and save us!" Hearing the voice of a living person below, Yang Congyi's heart was light, fortunately, the person had not been bitten to death.
"Here we are." Yang Congyi didn't think about it, and blurted out two simple words. But these two words are like a lifesaver for the following catchers.
In a few words, Yang Congyi's feet did not stop, quickly approaching the distance from them.
"Yang Zhutou, you're here!"
"They're just behind, a lot, and they're going to catch up right away!" The injured catchers saw Yang Congyi rushing over, their faces were overjoyed, and they immediately reported the situation behind.
"Don't say it, hurry up, there's a place to hide not far from above." Seeing that there was a catcher, as if he was going to say something, Yang Congyi hurriedly stopped them from continuing to waste their strength, and then set up a catcher with an injured right leg and turned around and climbed up.
After walking not far, when he was going uphill, the afterglow of his eyes seemed to see something falling between the branches and leaves above his head, Yang Congyi raised his hand and waved his knife, only to hear a poof, and the thing fell into the miscellaneous trees on the side.
"Snakes! The snake is coming!" I only heard the panicked shouts of a catcher in front of him, and then he hurriedly crawled wildly, and instantly ran out of the distance.
When others heard this, they were even more panicked, some burst out of their potential, and some were directly paralyzed in their hands and feet, and they could no longer climb half a step.
Yang Congyi heard the rustling sound above his head, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. These snakes are also too cunning, and they actually play outflanking, can they become sperm?
Without thinking too much, Yang Congyi drew a knife in his hand, and while on guard, he urged: "Hurry up, these snakes are a little weird." ”
As soon as Yang Cong's righteous words came out, he saw a few gray shadows rushing out of his head, rushing straight to the injured catcher. The catchers are unarmed, how to resist? I saw him jump up, swing two knives in a row, shoot a few flying snakes, and after landing, he reached out and ripped off one from the catcher's body, threw it back, and swung another knife to slap away a black snake flying towards him. He noticed the flying snakes falling in front of him and overhead, but he didn't notice that a few other snakes had slipped quietly down from the nearby trees and burrowed into the bushes beside him.
Seeing that a snake began to attack, the catchers were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they didn't dare to take another look at it knowing that there was a snake on their heads, so they ran away with their heads in their hearts.
Among the branches and leaves of the trees overhead, the sound of "rustling" is endless, and I don't know how many poisonous snakes have come up to the tree. Snakes must be much faster when they go up a tree than they are when they climb among dead leaves, so it is not certain that they have a speed advantage.
"Hurry up, it'll be there soon." While speaking, he saw a lot of gray shadows falling above his head, Yang Congyi skillfully swung the knife, slapped them one by one, and some snakes were cunning, fighting to the death, and they also wanted to be wound up with the knife, so they were naturally thrown off by Yang Congyi's wrist. Along the way, I don't know how many poisonous snakes flew down from the head, although they were not caught and bitten, but these snakes were extremely ferocious, and they fell on people, whether they saw the meat or not, they had to bite down, which was very scary.
Yang Congyi was swinging a knife to knock down a few flying snakes, suddenly heard a scream, and when he looked at it, he saw that he didn't step on his feet steadily, lost his balance, fell to the ground with his head and feet, and hurriedly took a few steps forward from the mountain, pulled him up, and pushed him up the slope.
Just wanted to go uphill, but felt a pain like a pinprick in his foot and neck, looked down, and saw a finger-thick black snake at his feet, Yang Congyi didn't want to kick it away, and was about to go up, and saw several flying snakes falling above his head, so he had to stop his body and wave his knife to shoot down the flying snake that was coming at him. But before those snakes could land, more flying snakes fell, so they had to continue to swing their knives and fly away.
Suddenly, a thick fishy smell wafted from behind him, and Yang Congyi looked back with a swing of the knife, and his face immediately changed.
I saw three zhang away, the snake's head was crowded, dense, colorful snakes were stacked together, dense like waves, tumbling forward, crawling towards the mountain, I don't know how wide and long the snake group is.
With just one glance, I saw Yang Congyi dizzy and nauseous for a while, and he made a decision in an instant. I saw him swing his saber over his head, and in a few steps he collapsed up the small slope, looked down at the road, and ran forward, and when he came, he didn't care to swing his sword, and ran towards the mountain with all his might.
The distance between the three zhang is not so easy to close, but there are snakes flying down overhead to block their journey, and they can't get any farther. The catchers were all the way ahead, and Yang Congyi broke the road in the middle and rear, and from time to time he had to help them tear off some poisonous snakes that they didn't have time to get rid of. Whether anyone was bitten by a poisonous snake, Yang Congyi couldn't be sure, but he must have been bitten by a poisonous snake, because he accidentally saw that his left hand had begun to swell.
"Right, hurry over!" Running up and down for several hours in a row, Yang Congyi was beaten with iron, and he couldn't hold on at the moment. But they still desperately wanted to stay alive and insisted on climbing to their destination.
"Come down and help!" Finally arrived at the bottom of the stone cliff, looked up, and saw that the catchers were all on it, and there was no intention of coming down to help him, and he was immediately furious.
The catchers under the stone cliff saw that the way of life was in front of them, and they all wanted to climb up with their hands and feet. However, they were chased all the way by the snake, and they didn't dare to stop at all, they had no physical strength, and their legs and feet were injured.
Yang Congyi felt that the snakes were behind him, and he didn't care about looking at the catchers in front of him, so he quickly turned around and was on guard.
I saw that the dense group of snakes was already five or six feet away, and it would not take long for them to crowd to the edge of the cliff. And the flying snakes that had been chasing among the branches and leaves above their heads before, because of the proximity to the stone cliff, the forest decreased, and they fell to the ground one after another, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of them gathered a zhang away, raised their heads and pressed straight towards Yang Congyi and them.
Yang Congyi turned his head to see that the catchers behind him had not yet climbed up, and some had only climbed to a height of more than one meter, while the catchers on the stone cliff looked at the snakes in the distance, with panicked faces.
"It's all fucking dead people, and they don't help!" Yang Congyi couldn't help but scold, a person who never scolded people, he couldn't help it anymore when he was caught by this gang.
Cursing in his mouth, he pushed the last catch with his right hand, pushing him to a position more than two meters high, and then jumped up and climbed up the steep slope more than one meter high next to him, temporarily avoiding the threat of poisonous snakes.
Yang Congyi raised his left hand and looked at it, only to see two teeth and eyes on the back of his hand, and some blood marks.
As soon as the knife cut through the skin, I saw black blood flowing out and dripping to the ground along my hand.
Yang Congyi didn't care about looking at it more, let the black blood flow first, he had been bitten by poisonous snakes before, it was no big deal, just let the blood go in time.
The first hundred or so poisonous snakes approached the steep slope where Yang Congyi was, but those snakes were not big, and when they stood up, they were only a foot high, and the steep slope was full of scattered soil and gravel, and they were weak and powerless, and they could not climb up with their strength. The group of snakes is getting closer and closer, although it is three zhang away, the speed is a little slow, but the snake wave is more than a meter high, tumbling over, and the momentum is terrifying.
This kind of formation shook Yang Congyi with a sense of dizziness, but then the dense snake head made him nauseous for a while, almost nauseous, so he didn't dare to look at it again.
In a blink of an eye, someone finally climbed the stone cliff with the injured catcher, and the remaining few were not far from the top of the stone cliff, so they hurriedly jumped up the stone cliff, and with their hands and feet to catch up with the catcher in front, they reached out and pushed him up.
The catcher who climbed the stone cliff was fast, and once he reached the cliff, he could no longer move a finger, and he was as tired as a dead dog, and he could only gasp for breath.
Yang Congyi was no better, he was already exhausted, and he relied on one bite to support him, went up to the stone cliff, sat down, and couldn't get up again.
"Keep watch, if there is a snake that wants to climb up, get it down." Yang Congyi didn't have the power to say anything more, sat down against the stone wall, and began to close his eyes and recuperate. He was too tired and needed to recover his mental and physical strength, but he didn't have the energy to care how they guarded the cliff, and if they couldn't even hold this high cliff, they would have to consider themselves unlucky.
The others caught fast, rested for half an hour, and recovered part of their physical strength, just looking at the dense snakes under the cliff, one by one, the scalp was numb, who dared to go to the edge of the cliff to see. But this is their place of refuge, and if they don't see it and are crawled up by snakes, will they still run? No one wants to run away, not in this life.
After a brief discussion, the catchers decided to take turns to guard the cliff, and no one could take advantage.
Yang Congyi sat for a while, not only did his spirit not recover, but he felt dizzy for a while, and his body became more and more tired.
