Chapter 44: Becoming the Prey

Lao Jiu watched our series of dangerous actions below, constantly reminding me to pay attention to safety.

As soon as I climbed the tree and stood firm, I was far away, and the rotten master appeared in my line of sight. I gave him a cold look and ignored him.

I shifted my gaze to the nest of snake eggs, and Chen Ran saw that my face was only a few centimeters away from the snake eggs, so he stepped out to warn me not to get too close.

I looked around the snake nest and found no signs of snake life, so I thought about it.

It's winter, and it stands to reason that snakes have entered hibernation and will not lay eggs. So what exactly is in this nest is still up for debate.

Just when I was out of my mind, I suddenly heard the sound of rustling from behind, and I turned my head to see that it was Chen Ran undressing.

Why did you take off your clothes in this winter? I didn't understand his actions and asked, "Are you hot?" ”

When Chen Ran undressed, he glanced up at me. I saw beads of sweat on his forehead.

When he took off his coat, he seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and took off his sweater again until there was only a thin layer of single clothes left.

He straightened his clothes and sighed: "It's finally comfortable now, it was really hot to death just now!" ”

I looked at Chen Ran for a while, why didn't I feel the heat, and then I suddenly realized that I had already taken off my clothes to Lao Jiu, and I was shirtless on the tree at this time.

Wearing only a vest, coupled with various previous exercises, naturally I can't feel the heat.

Chen Ran's sudden undressing and the snake eggs in front of me gave me a new idea.

But after all the previous exercises, my body temperature had not yet dropped, so I gave Chen Ran the opportunity to verify.

Chen Ran and I swapped places and told him to take off his pants. As soon as he heard the unreasonable request to take off his pants, his face immediately turned red.

With some anger on his face, he said, "Brother Huai, your request is getting more and more excessive. ”

Since I was anxious to figure it out, I didn't bother to explain it to him, and just said, "Can you take it off?" If you don't take it off, I'll help you! ”

Chen Ran immediately pressed my hands that were about to move, probably because he felt embarrassed, and took off his pants with an embarrassed face.

I glanced at it, and finally knew why he showed such an expression, but I didn't expect that Chen Ran's elegant appearance actually hid a fire-like enthusiasm.

I resisted the urge to laugh at him: "I didn't expect you to wear autumn pants, still red!" ”

Chen Ran also showed his autumn pants to others for the first time, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he was unwilling to be said by me.

So he defended loudly: "You are not cold in the south, of course you can bear it, you come to our northeast without wearing autumn pants." ”

What Chen Ran said is reasonable, but I don't want to have anything to do with him about it, I think about it, and it is estimated that it will be impossible for him to get off again.

So I changed my approach: "Next, you pull your pants up to your knees and touch the stump with your knees." ”

Chen Ran was still a little stunned after hearing this, but he felt that it was not so excessive, so he was stunned for a moment and did as usual.

He touched the stump with his knee, and the expression on his face was subtle. I hurriedly asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Instead of answering my question right away, he just put his knee on it and waited for a few seconds, then touched it with different parts of his body.

First the forehead, then the cheeks, the palms, the arms, and everything that is exposed to touch the trees.

After doing this, he turned his head and looked at me in surprise, but he was a little hesitant and uncertain: "I always feel that the temperature of this tree seems to be abnormal. ”

As soon as I heard this, I naturally had the answer in my heart. I asked, "Does it feel a little hot?" ”

Chen Ran carefully reflected on my words, and then nodded solemnly: "Yes, indeed." He seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and said, "Do you think there is a dark river down here?" ”

I was faintly excited in my heart, this tomb owner is probably not simple.

I smiled at Chen Ran and nodded.

Then, a big snake suddenly appeared behind Chen Ran, which shocked me.

The white snake was crystal clear and wrapped around the ancient tree. There were scales standing up on the snake's head, and it kept spitting letters behind Chen Ran.

In the face of such a behemoth, I naturally did not dare to make a move. I relaxed my tone and said to Chen Ran: "Don't move, there is something behind you." ”

When Chen Ran heard it, he thought I was scaring him again, and he hugged his arms with a clear face: "Haha, Brother Huai, you want to scare me again, have you ever heard that soldiers are not tired of cheating?" ”

At this time, I regretted that I shouldn't have corrected him, but I didn't expect the story of "The Wolf Came" to happen to me.

I squinted my eyes and glanced at the bottom of the tree, and at this time, they were also in a mess, and they wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.

Chen Ran saw that I didn't answer his words for a long time, and my face was not very good, and he gradually realized that something was unusual.

I was already a little trembling at this time because of my high nervousness, and I attracted Chen Ran's attention to my hand.

I pointed at him and said with my lips: "Snake" Then I saw Chen Ran's face change.

His originally ruddy cheeks turned pale in an instant, and he was already afraid of snakes, so his heart was even more tormented at this time.

I looked at the snake in front of me, which was about the size of an ancient tree, and calculated in my heart that such a behemoth would not attack easily.

But unexpectedly, in the next second, it opened its bloody mouth. It was too much to say that the mouth could stuff an elephant, but Chen Ran and I estimated that it was not enough to stuff it between the teeth.

But the larger the animal, the slower it naturally moves, so while it opens its mouth, I win with a slight speed.

I grabbed Chen Ran, jumped up through the trunk of the tree under my feet, and grabbed the place where I had used to fix the rope before.

Because I was wearing non-slip gloves on my hands, I had a fairly firm grip, but the weight of two people made me feel very struggling.

I looked at Chen Ran, who was holding my leg and half-squinting: "Hey, big brother, move it, grab the rope next to you." ”

Taking advantage of this time, I forced myself to calm down and analyze rationally.

Different snakes have different ways of obtaining food, such as the snake we often see in old houses, it is agile, often catching frogs in the field, and then strangling the prey by entanglement.

There are also some venomous snakes that survive in the wild, and they mainly rely on venom to kill their prey. There are also some large pythons, they also use winding to kill their prey, the moment the prey exhales tightly, pressing the prey's heart and slowly dying.

But for large animals like this, food is no longer relevant to them, and they enjoy the process of predation more.

And the white snake in front of him seems to have this kind of thought. I thought it was going to swallow me and Chen Ran in one go, but it didn't move after opening its mouth.

I didn't care about figuring out its thoughts, my hand was already hurting and I was about to lose consciousness, but fortunately, Chen Ran grabbed the rope on the side.
