Chapter 28: Vipers

"Be careful, look at the road, the wayworm will only take us to the nearest road, not the safest road, you must be careful."

The group that followed the fireflies all the way to the depths of the jungle listened to Perkin muttering along the way.

Although Perkin's voice was not loud, it could be heard far away in the quiet of the night.

They were heading in the opposite direction to the direction in which York had gone in search of food, so they had been out for almost an hour, and they didn't see any traces of York either.

At this time, Ryuji was also dizzy by their route, and he always felt that the direction in which these people were moving had deviated from their goal.

There were several times when Liu Zhi didn't plan to chase anymore, but their attitude towards himself before made Liu Zhi have an obsession in his heart, and he was unhappy not to watch them all die.

It was this thought that kept Ryuji chasing after them.

But soon Ryuji saw an opportunity, and he smelled the slippery smell of a giant snake in the air.

"Fourth, what's wrong with this jungle, it's impossible for this kind of place to afford so many giant snakes."

Ryuji muttered as he gave up tracking Perkin and sneaked in the direction from which the serpent's breath came from.

After a while, Ryuji saw a giant snake swimming down the tree from a distance.

The giant snake in front of him will be smaller than the previous ones, but Ryuji doesn't dare to underestimate the existence of this guy at all, because this guy is different from the previous ones, it has a triangular head.

"How is this possible, a poisonous snake can grow so big, is there something wrong?"

Ryuji looked at his discovery in disbelief, the one in front of him was more dangerous than the giant snake that would devour others, and the ghost knew how long the venom in its mouth had been stored and what had changed.

Ryuji cautiously withdrew from the range of the giant snake, and after a few steps of retreat, the giant snake swam towards this side as if it had discovered Ryuji's existence.

Liu Zhi noticed the situation here, he checked his body, and found that the various herbs he prepared to remove the smell were still there, and they didn't fail, why did the giant snake come here?

Unable to think about it, Ryuji could only move quickly towards Perkin's side, and he moved as he searched for the downwind outlet where Perkin was, hoping to use Perkin's scent to lure away the giant snake that might have found him.

Liu Zhi didn't know if he would succeed in doing this, he had already planned it, if he reached the downwind, the giant snake was still staring at him, he would give up this operation, leave this jungle, and go to find the Golden City, whoever wants to mix in the affairs here will go and mix it, anyway, he doesn't plan to leave his little life in this place.

Fortunately, after smelling the others, the viper changed its target, sparing Ryuji, who had not yet been found, and headed for Perkin.

Watching the giant snake with black and white patterns crawl under the tree where he was hiding, Ryuji's heart was about to skip a beat.

He cowered in the tree motionless, knowing that if he moved, there was a good chance that he would face the death stare of the viper.

So he kept shrinking, and even if he observed the situation on Perkin's side, he did so with his peripheral vision.

It was almost dawn and the fireflies slowly stopped, and Perkin didn't put them in jars, but let them die.

"We've been on the road all night, let's take a break."

As the light on the last firefly went out, Perkin also took the initiative to stop, "Which of you goes to the tree and sees if there is a waterfall nearby." ”

The swordsman, who had already sat on a rock, took the initiative to stand up after hearing this, "I'll go up and take a look, you guys be careful yourself." ”

After speaking, the swordsman looked around, picked a tree that looked relatively tall, and climbed five or six meters in three or two steps.

Then the swordsman hung on a branch of a tree, and was about to climb to it, only to find a pair of eyes the size of a headlight staring at him among the leaves.

The hairs on the swordsman's body stood up instantly, and he didn't even think about it, as soon as he let go of his hand, the whole person fell down.

In mid-air, the swordsman pulled out the long sword hanging behind his back, wanting to block the attack that might come from above, during this time he has seen a lot of the giant snake's attacks, all of them are directly open their mouths to bite, if they can cut the giant snake at the first time, they may be able to escape.

But the bite from above did not appear, and the giant snake that emerged from the leaves opened its mouth, but instead of biting down, it spewed out a wave of transparent liquid.

The swordsman couldn't turn around in the air, and was sprayed by the liquid.

He screamed in mid-air, and his body quickly turned black and swollen, and when he fell to the ground, he had lost his breath.

Seeing this, the three people under the tree couldn't help but scream, and the female knifeman raised her hand to stab the poisonous snake above, and then turned her head and ran towards the road from which she came.

Perkin and Lloyd didn't care about anything else, they didn't even pick up the backpack they had just put down, and ran in the other direction.

After the giant snake was attacked by the female knifeman, it opened its mouth and bit in the direction of the female knifeman's escape, but the female knifeman was relatively fast, and turned her head and left the giant snake behind.

The serpent was a vengeant, and when it saw the female knife man escape, it slipped down from the tree and chased after the female knife man who had fled.

Ryuji, who was on the tree, watched the female knifeman run under his tree, and watched the giant snake chase away, so he dared to climb down from the tree.

After making sure that he had left no scent or clues, he cautiously made his way to the place where Pergin and them had been resting.

At this time, the swordsman's corpse had turned completely black, and the long sword he held in his hand had lost any metallic light.

Ryuji thought for a moment, tore off a corner of his coat from his body, used a branch to remove the long sword from the venom, and tightly wrapped the strip of cloth from the corner of his clothes around the hilt of the long sword.

After picking up the sword again, Ryuji's attention fell on the backpack that Perkin and the others had thrown down.

Lloyd didn't carry his bag when he escaped, and he didn't carry any luggage along the way, but Perkin kept the important things by his side all the time, and his bag was the key to the trip.

The bag was thrown here, Liu Zhi naturally wouldn't let it go, he picked up the bag and went in the other direction, as for whether Perkin would chase them over and snatch the bag back, Liu Zhi could only say, I don't care about this.

Not long after Ryuji left, Perkin and Lloyd sneaked back again.

Seeing everything in front of him, Perkin couldn't help but exclaim, "Where's my bag?" ”
