However, unfortunately, Zhang Teng made a mistake in judgment. When we reached the back of the hill, the path under my feet was completely broken.

There is no way out? Zhang Teng was a little dumbfounded.

In front of me, the grass is green, the bees are singing and the butterflies are dancing, and the trees are flourishing, stretching all the way to the horizon.

It seems that this path is not often walked. This is a wilderness and remote place, and I don't know where it is. He couldn't figure out how he got to this hellish place.

What should I do? Zhang Teng couldn't help but panic a little. However, he was an adult soul after all, and he quickly calmed down.

Depending on the situation, he couldn't find anyone for a while, and he couldn't ask for food. For now, I am looking around temporarily, to see if there are any wild fruits and mushrooms that can be eaten, and then fill my stomach first.

Zhang Teng used to grow up in the countryside, and when he was a child, he also followed his adult partners into the mountains to collect firewood and herd cattle. So, after finding a tree as a reference, he began to try to walk towards the dense woods in front of him.

However, after walking into the woods, he felt a little eerie.

This ghost place is deserted, the shade of the trees covers the sky and the sun, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and the thick fallen leaves and dead branches do not look like the mountains and forests of their hometown, but like a primeval forest. And all kinds of strange-shaped insects that popped up from time to time made Zhang Teng's heart more and more uneasy, and he even felt as if he had come to another world.

Looking at the unknown plants, Zhang Teng searched his memory and couldn't find a similar plant of the same plant, so his heart slowly sank.

Hunger, more and more terrifying, it was like a fire scorching his stomach, making him almost crazy.

At this time, there was no way, Zhang Teng had to give up the plan to find and know about wild fruits and vegetables, and instead try the things that might be eaten around.

After licking and trying more than a dozen strange wild fruits in a row for half a day, Zhang Teng's people were already groggy and crumbling. Those unknown fruits not only taste bitter and unpalatable, but also are toxic to the human body.

"Am I going to die here?"

Zhang Teng looked around in confusion, he vaguely recognized the way back, but according to the current situation, he starved to death before he could go back. Even if he went back, he didn't eat, and his ending didn't change much.

"Hungry...... Hungry...... Hungry ......"

A voice kept echoing in Zhang Teng's head, and he stumbled along, searching, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred.

At that moment, a bright red light flickered through the grass.

"Eat!"

Zhang Teng, who had fallen into a semi-coma, was shocked and staggered forward.

It was a red fruit that resembled a tomato, about five or six of them, about the size of a fist, hanging from a small purple-blue bush. The red color looks ripe, with an unprecedented sense of seduction.

As soon as Zhang Teng grabbed the red fruit, suddenly a long black object as thick as a child's arm came from under his feet, and immediately climbed up his body and entangled it tightly.

The triangular head, the scarlet letter, the fangs, and the cold and slippery scale armor all reveal its identity - a poisonous snake!

Zhang Teng was taken aback at first, and struggled to get rid of it, but he felt a pain in his right arm that grabbed the fruit, and the other party's hideous mouth had already bitten down. Seeing a wisp of black blood flowing out of the wound, he was shocked and couldn't help but feel sad.

I can't imagine that I, Zhang Teng, was not hit by a car and died, not by cold death, not by starvation, but today I was bitten to death by a snake?

That's it, that's it, it's all about struggling, and in the end it's still hard to escape death.

The ancients did not deceive me, and when they did, their lives were also dead, and even if they died, they had to be a full ghost!

Zhang Teng thought about it, and the nameless fire was fierce, and his heart was ruthless.

He ignored the snake's head that bit his arm, picked up the red fruit in his hand and took a big bite of it. The jam is sweet and sour, so-so, and finally not the bitter and spicy unpalatable taste of the past.

At the same time, the poisonous snake bit Zhang Teng's arm, as if it was going to completely entangle him, and began to wrap it tighter and tighter, making Zhang Teng feel painful and numb all over his body, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Eating one is also eating, eating two is also eating, one does not do two endlessly, Lao Tzu will eat all this fruit today!"

He still didn't care, reached out and picked another fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and then grabbed it again, and broke off the remaining wild fruits with branches and leaves.

The black and cyan viper that had been biting him seemed to be in a hurry when it saw this scene, and became extremely angry. The snake's body tightened again, strangling Zhang Teng as if he was almost suffocating.

At this time, Zhang Teng had already swallowed the second fruit, but he had no time to nibble on the third one. In desperation, he threw away the fruit, grabbed the snake and bit it, and drank the snake's blood. And the poisonous snake suffers and gradually becomes crazy. It bit desperately and wrapped desperately, so that Zhang Teng's consciousness began to gradually blur.

Zhang Teng is also ruthless, his heart is either a human death or a snake death anyway, the big deal is to die together, I'm afraid of a hair.

So, he still drank snake blood desperately, unyielding. A man and a snake are in a stalemate, fighting...... After about two quarters of an hour, the man and the serpent lay down on the ground together.

I don't know how long it took, but when Zhang Teng woke up again, the light in the woods was already very dark.

He looked at his arm, and the snake's head was still biting tightly, but the snake's body was already limp. It looks like he just died.

Good fellow, I respect you as a man's snake!

Zhang Teng praised in awe, and then said again in his heart: But in the end, I won.

He moved his tangled numb body, struggled to shake the snake away, and pulled out the snake's head with great effort, leaving deep holes in the two fangs. Thankfully, I don't know what happened, but it seems that the snake venom didn't do much for him in the end, and the wound caused by the poisonous snake is now starting to bleed red blood.

So Zhang Teng put his mind at ease and thought: Brother Snake, Brother Snake, the so-called success and defeat of the king. If you lose, I will give you a life, and if you win, not only your life, but also the body of the snake will be mine.

Although it is said that drinking snake blood raw will make people have the possibility of suffering from schizocephalus disease in the future, which makes Zhang Teng feel uneasy. However, under the threat of hunger, even if it is to drink to quench his thirst, Zhang Teng is not afraid at all.

Since you have drunk snake blood, how can you let go of snake meat?

So, Zhang Teng coiled the snake corpse on his shoulder, picked up a few red fruits on the ground that he didn't have time to eat, and found a dead branch to make a cane, relying on his memory, and slowly walked in the direction of the original thatched house. I have to say that people are iron, and rice is steel. Zhang Teng, who ate the fruit and drank the blood of the snake, is now full of energy and energy. Even the walking steps are much brisker.

Soon Zhang Teng returned to the hut, and he took a lot of effort to roast the snake meat by drilling wood for fire. I found some hay again and spread it in the place where the snake meat was roasted, and made a temporary hot kang. I got a more reliable door for the thatched hut, and then I fell asleep deeply.

In the next few days, Zhang Teng relied on snake meat for basic supplies, and after several tosses, he found some barely satisfying fruits.

He stored them, wrapped them in an oversized leaf, tied them with a few thin straw ropes, tied them around his waist, and brought some water with them, and began his search for people.

Because he knew that he could only stay for a while by relying on temporary wild fruits, and after a long time, he would definitely not be able to hold on.

Especially these few nights, a strange roar was faintly heard from the west of this wood. The roar seemed to be made by some kind of large animal like a liger. At the moment, he seems to be a malnourished child of seven or eight years old, weak and powerless to resist those dangerous creatures.

These days, he took the time to boil some hot water in a rotten pot and take a casual bath. The water was scooped from a small spring behind the hut. This may be one of the reasons why the original owner of the hut chose the site here. The spring was very small, about a foot wide and more than half a meter deep, and because of the rain, the water in it was a little muddy, and the amount was not much, barely enough.

While bathing, he washed his clothes with spring water and dried them before putting them back on. Zhang Teng is a southerner after all, and it's okay not to take a shower for a day or two, but he can't stand it after a long time.

Then he used local materials, tried his best to get a pair of straw sandals, a pair of robes, and a simple hat, and set off with anxiety after making all kinds of preparations.

Of course, Zhang Teng didn't just find a direction and scurry around like a headless fly.

He thought twice about it, and according to the surrounding environmental factors, he chose the southeast direction.

Not to mention the rest, the West is absolutely impossible to go, and the place where the roar comes from makes people instinctively jealous.

As for the south and the north, the door of the thatched hut faces south, but the path in front of the door turns north, and it is also impossible to walk. There was no road in the north, it was a dense wood, overgrown with grass, and there was no sign of anyone walking at all.

And in the east, although there is no road, there are a little less weeds. It's not that you can't walk, but the trees a little south-east, with some marks of knives and axes. It is estimated that it was left behind by human activities, such as hunting firewood. In contrast, the southeast direction is better than the due east direction.

As for distinguishing the direction, Zhang Teng has learned a little knowledge from books and magazines on the Internet, and the forest where he is located is not the kind of primitive deep forest where the sun is completely missing, and he can barely know the direction through the sun.

Fortunately, Zhang Teng kept going southeast, found more and more traces of human activities, and finally confirmed that he was in the right direction.

After walking for almost a whole day, about dozens of miles, Zhang Teng came to a very strange place.

The woods were razed as if they had been bombarded by a huge bomb, revealing a large circular clearing.

As he walked through the area, he felt a strange sense of oppression, a thrill in his heart, as if something extremely dangerous was lurking. This made him want to change direction or bypass the area at one point.

But after walking for so long, Zhang Teng had already determined that he was going in the right direction. It was impossible to change direction, and he had a feeling that even if he took a detour, he might not be able to get rid of that inexplicable fear. So he could only bite the bullet and cautiously continue to walk.

When Zhang Teng came to the edge of the area, he found a delicate dagger with a gap buried in the dirt. The dagger seems to be made of special metal, the dark red and black hilt is engraved with a strange pattern of gold, and the cold light of the blade flickers, faintly exuding a kind of murderous intent.

Zhang Teng picked up the dagger, glanced at it, and said with some regret: "Good thing! Alas, it's a pity that it collapsed!"

He played with it for a moment, then tucked it into his waist and continued walking. At this time, Zhang Teng didn't know that the ground behind him shook inexplicably, and there was a clump of blood-red thorns. In the dirt next to the thorns, the glow of metal was faintly reflected.

The sun in the sky was gradually obscured by thick clouds, and the place where the light was reflected was a dull black of armor.
