Chapter 507: Danger is coming
In the middle of the night, on the Loess Plain, the cold wind whistles through, and when it encounters a steep slope, it makes a piercing sound of sorrow.
The bright stars in the night sky are unusually clear here, each one is cold and arrogant, and each one is no longer ordinary.
The campfires in the camp were still crackling, and the burned firewood slowly turned black and finally burned to ashes.
In the other camp, the jagged snoring was long and short, but it did not interfere with the fragrant dreams of the already exhausted people, and for the men who ran the horses, even a good night's sleep was an extremely luxurious thing. So they all take the time to rest, because they don't know what awaits them tomorrow.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Shen Xiaoxia, who was resting in the tent, suddenly opened her eyes, and her heart was pounding, as if she was about to break free from her body, which was not a good sign.
Shen Xiaoxia, who slept in clothes, immediately got up and walked out of the tent, which was still warm. Chaoxue was sitting by the bonfire with firewood, looking very relaxed, looking around from time to time, paying attention to everything around her.
Seeing Shen Xiaoxia walk out, he frowned and browled lightly.
"Master, you can sleep a little longer."
Shen Xiaoxia stopped her words and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the sounds around her, but she didn't hear any abnormal sounds, as if everything was normal.
Seeing the master like this, Chaoxue also became nervous. But I listened carefully for a long time, except for the sound of the campfire, the sound of the flapping wings of the mosquitoes around me, and the snoring that had not stopped at night not far away, I heard nothing.
"Master, there's nothing abnormal, you better go back and sleep for a while!"
Although he didn't find any abnormalities, Shen Xiaoxia's heart beat faster. A voice in her heart told her that there was definitely a great danger approaching here.
"You wait here and wake up Chaoxue."
After saying that, she disappeared in place, her teleportation speed was very fast, and in just half a pillar of incense time, Shen Xiaoxia checked all the areas within a radius of one mile, and finally found an abnormality in the south.
The dense group of snakes was slowly and quietly moving in the direction of the camp, and the snakes were all earthy yellow with faint black-brown spots. Their bodies have their own protective color, which is very close to the earthy yellow, and it is difficult to find them even in the daytime, if they are not so numerous. And Shen Xiaoxia also wears night vision goggles, otherwise it is really difficult to find snakes in the dark.
Every snake has an inverted triangle, dark green eyes, and purple-black snake hyacinths, even a fool knows that these snakes must be highly venomous. There are so many of them that it's uncomfortable to look at.
Shen Xiaoxia's pores all over his body were opened, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if he didn't find it in time, he would definitely be surrounded by this group of snakes.
A few dodges returned to the camp as fast as they could, throwing out two bags of realgar first, and letting Chaoyu and Chaoxue scatter more around.
"The snakes are coming, let alone a few hundred."
Hearing what the master said, Chaoyu and Chaoxue suddenly became nervous, they didn't even notice such a big thing, and they broke out in a cold sweat when they were afraid.
Listening to the snoring sound that was still shaking the sky not far away, Xiao Xia frowned, she is not a person who can't be saved when she dies, and she doesn't look like a bad person, of course she has to help.
"Bonfires are lit in all directions, and the snakes should be afraid of fire." After another explanation, leaving a lot of things to deal with the snakes, Shen Xiaoxia walked alone to the camp of the horse team.
The three men who were on the night watch saw the arrogant little girl coming over, and they looked at each other, both puzzled and excited.
"The snakes are coming, you better be prepared."
"What? Snakes? ”
The three men also suddenly became nervous, and immediately stood up and checked around, but not a single snake was found, not even an ant was found.
"Little girl, you're here to trick us! Don't be too arrogant, if you drink and eat meat in the Loess Plain, you will still be afraid of snakes? ”
"Haha......"
The three reckless men had long been resentful, and now they finally found a chance to laugh at them. The laughter of the three of them continued for a long time in the wild plains, and Shen Xiaoxia frowned slightly.
The leader of the horse team, who must have slept soundly, was awakened by the sound of laughter, and walked out in a shabby cotton coat of no color with a look on his face.
Many men were also disturbed by the laughter, poked their heads out and looked at them, grumbled and shrank back to sleep.
The three reckless men knew that they might have angered the boss, so they immediately suppressed their laughter, exchanged glances with each other, and saw horror in each other's eyes. Their boss is not good-tempered, and although he never stretches out his hand to women, he will also kill them as rough old men.
"Boss, it was this girl who came to scare us, saying that there were snakes nearby, we had checked, and there was nothing at all."
"Yes, yes, it's all to blame on this dead girl for playing with us."
"Yes to ......"
When the leader of the horse team heard this, he turned to look at Shen Xiaoxia, who had a serious and tense face, and saw that the light flashed in her deep big eyes, and there was a kind of trust in her heart.
"Quick, wake everyone up, get your weapons ready!"
The leader of the horse team tore off his shirt and turned to take out his saber, a man who seemed to be ready for battle.
"Big brother?"
The three men were a little confused, and looked at each other again, although they were full of puzzlement about the boss's behavior, but they did not have the courage to question the boss's decision, and hurriedly carried out the order, and soon the camp of the horse team became lively.
Looking at the leader of the horse team standing in front of him, Shen Xiaoxia still felt a little surprised that he trusted himself without even asking, so he sent out a kind invitation.
"Your weapons may not be useful against the snakes, but if you believe me, you can take your men to my place to hide."
Looking at a group of men holding heavy knives in their hands, Xiao Xia frowned lightly again, the group of snakes she just saw were about one or two feet long, and the thickest was only as thick as a baby's arm, but most of them were very thin. A bulky weapon like theirs simply can't cope.
The leader of the horse team was stunned, just now he wanted to ask about the situation of the snake group, and when he saw Shen Xiaoxia say this, he realized the seriousness of the situation even more. After glancing at Shen Xiaoxia solemnly, he bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your help, if this disaster can pass safely, there will be heavy thanks in the future."
Shen Xiaoxia glanced at each other appreciatively, there are very few people who are so modest, cautious and smart in this world.
Nodding, Xiao Xia did not refuse the other party's overtures, if he didn't ask for help in return, the other party would be suspicious. Moreover, she has never been a person who does not ask for anything in return.
