Chapter 27: The Snakes

At this moment, a warning from Richard was heard not far away, and several people reflexively packed up the tools around them.

"Hurry up and load the dragon incense stone into the car!" Hou Yong said loudly.

Makiyama father and son also reacted that the income from this time was enough for a group of people to live in the future, and it was the right thing to get out of here as soon as possible, and the machinery and equipment used in mining were not so important.

The three of them quickly climbed into the nearest car and started it, and Richard in the distance also ran over.

"Snakes, what a bunch of snakes!" Richard shouted in shock.

"How can there be snakes? I didn't meet it last time I came. Makiyama said strangely.

"Where did he come from? Now let's get behind the wheel. Hou Yong said anxiously.

"And what about the rest of the car?" Richard was still a little reluctant, after all, that car was worth a lot of money.

"I can't take care of it, the most important thing is to escape!" Hou Yong shouted.

The car sprang out like an arrow, but before it had gone far, it had to stop, because a dense group of red-tailed plum snakes were in front of them.

This snake is small but extremely venomous, and is named because of its red tail and plum blossom-like pattern on its head.

It is said that a person who is bitten will die within ten minutes, unless antivenom is available.

But Muchen They don't have such a rare thing, and they don't even have this kind of serum in the materials in the repair shop.

"Rush over?" Richard, who was driving, asked sweatingly, the group of red-tailed plum snakes in front of him frightened him so much that his face turned white, and his legs trembled unconsciously.

"You can try, this car is equipped with thickened steel plates, as long as the shooting port is closed, the snakes will not be able to enter." Hou Yong said confidently.

Richard stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed towards the snakes, crashing into the snakes, slowing down, but still slowly moving forward.

Countless red-tailed plum snakes were crushed under the wheels, but more snakes were surging towards them without fear of death.

After a while, the car was densely covered with snakes, and the windows were crawling full.

Richard could only turn on the wipers and use the moment the wipers pushed the snake away to identify the road ahead.

The speed of the car was getting slower and slower, and the group of snakes piled up in front of the car was like a wall of snakes, hindering their progress.

There were also a large number of snakes coming behind the car, and Mu Chen was trapped, fortunately, the armor of the car was in place, and the snakes outside could not enter.

"No, we can't go any further, the hydrogen fuel cell load is too high, and the alarm has been called." Hou Yong glanced at the dashboard and said loudly.

That's right, the warning light on the dashboard is already on, and if you drive at such a high load, I'm afraid the hydrogen fuel cell will burn out.

Richard hurriedly turned off the car and waited for the battery temperature to cool down.

"We're not going to die here, are we?" Looking at the scalp-tingling swarm of snakes on the windshield, Richard asked with a shudder.

There was silence in the "......" carriage, and everyone had no bottom in their hearts.

"No, these snakes won't get in, maybe they'll leave after a while." Mu Chen comforted him, but he was also not sure in his heart.

Things are really strange, as far as Mu Chen knows, the red-tailed plum snake is rare, it belongs to a relatively rare species, and he didn't find any trace of this snake when he came all the way, why did it suddenly appear so much.

What's even more strange is that Wang Jun's map does not say that this is the habitat of the red-tailed plum snake, and Dad did not encounter it when they were exploring.

Can't it really be that you are too unlucky to encounter a group of snakes migrating?

How can there be such a coincidence in this world? Coincidentally, I just happened to run into it.

Mu Chen frowned and combed through the appearance of the snake group from beginning to end, and seemed to have found something.

"Richard, do you know how far we traveled after encountering the snakes?" Mu Chen asked thoughtfully.

Richard thought about it carefully, and said uncertainly: "It's about 100 kilometers, the speed of the car can't get up, but after driving for three hours, how can it be 100 kilometers." ”

"It's about the same, it should have been around 40 kilometers per hour before, and it might be slower later." Hou Yong also recalled.

"So that means that this group of snakes has followed us for more than 100 kilometers." Mu Chen said solemnly, strange, really strange.

Mu Chen learned in the study warehouse that snakes have a strong sense of territory, and generally do not leave the area where they often live, nor do they take the initiative to attack other large creatures.

The red-tailed plum snake is very small in size and generally feeds on small animals such as insects and birds, and the four of Muchen are obviously not their food.

So why would such a large group of snakes not give up on them and chase them for more than 100 kilometers? Mu Chen was puzzled.

"Why do I think there are more and more snakes out there?" Richard suddenly said in horror.

Mu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked urgently, "What did you just say?" ”

Mu Chen's appearance startled Richard, but he still repeated: "I said that there seem to be more and more snakes outside. ”

"Haha, that's it!" Mu Chen patted his thigh and said excitedly.

"Komaki, did you think of something?" Mu Shan knew that his son's brain was very fast, so he probably had an idea, so he hurriedly asked.

"That's right, we always thought that these snakes were coming for us, but now it doesn't seem to be the case." Mu Chen said confidently.

"Who else can we target?" Richard asked curiously.

Mu Chen picked up the dragon incense stone placed in the carriage, patted it and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I should have come for it." ”

"No, this snake doesn't eat stones, does it?" Richard asked curiously.

"You forgot one thing, the fragrance of this dragon incense stone also has the effect of refreshing the mind, when we didn't mine the dragon incense stone before, there was not a single snake around, but as soon as the original stone was unraveled, the snake group appeared, which is obviously abnormal."

Mu Chen took out the kettle and took a sip of water, and then said: "And this group of snakes chased us for more than 100 kilometers and did not give up, but there are more and more of them, which shows that what attracts them is the fragrance of the dragon incense stone, because snakes are almost no hearing and vision, but their sense of smell is extremely sensitive." ”

"Aha, I see, then we can just seal the dragon incense stone? So that the red-tailed snake should disperse if it can't smell it, right? Richard said excitedly after hearing this.

Mu Chen shook his head, "I'm afraid not, even if the dragon incense stone is sealed, the smell will only be reduced a lot, but the fragrance in our car is still very strong, in this way, unless the smell in the car is all gone, this group of snakes will leave." ”
