Chapter 6: The Serpent's Cave

(Foreword)

People are often deceived by illusions

I can't see the truth behind the illusion.

My body began to shake violently, and I fell to the ground with a "bang". The pain made me open my eyes, and through my hazy vision I saw her in front of meβ€”she pressed heavily against me, revealing half of her white shoulders, and then she smiled and put her head over, and cried out in my ear:

"Char, wake up! How long are you going to sleep?!"

The sound was deafening, piercing my eardrum and hitting my brain. I hurriedly got up from the ground, picked up the quilt that had fallen on the ground, looked at Arthur standing in front of me, and shook his stunned head vigorously.

"Go and get ready, the others have already gotten up, we're leaving."

I looked at her and stupidly said, "Oh. "Yes. Then I remembered the gnomes.

"By the way, I don't know what the name of that gnome is?"

"Gnomes?" Arthur forced his smile back and asked me, "You mean Zhao Xie, right?" He's not a dwarf, he's just affected by the side effects of drugs and can't grow up. He's got a very smart brain, and it's said that he has 180, which is definitely the highest IQ we have here. ”

"I see." I was looking down in deep thought, but Arthur suddenly slapped my arm and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

I nodded, followed Arthur, and slowly walked downstairs.

I looked at the clock on the wall: 10:45. Together with Arthur and me, there were exactly seven of them, gathered in the living room of the cabin.

"Everyone's ready, right? There are a lot of dangers out there that we don't know about, so it would be better to bring more useful things. Yu Bo looked at us, put his hands on his waist, and said to us.

We looked at each other, checked our bags again, and after making sure we had nothing we had forgotten, we followed Yu Bo out of the cabin.

Hypnotic gas and serum ......

Why do I bring these two things?

These two items I found in the helicopter's cabin and near the tail, respectively. Still, I was amazed that there was such a thing on a helicopter.

Forget it, no matter, since I've taken it all, let's take it with me.

I looked at both things, stuffed them into my bag again, and followed the line in front of me.

The sun, like fire, burns on each of our faces and makes us sweat profusely. We just kept walking, walking, walking...... Rounded the beast area, crossed a bridge, and headed for the shore.

June 2, 2050 at 12:09 p.m

As we walked south along the shore, the sound of the waves became weaker and weaker, but the seagulls in the sky and the fish in the water disappeared without a trace, leaving only a deathly silence.

Looking at the fish next to the reef, they still couldn't see the danger ahead, they just blindly hit the front, and they hit their heads one by one until the reef was dyed red......

"So, what is it?"

Just as I was sweating, my lips were white, and I felt like I was about to get dehydrated, Yu Bo pointed to a rock in front of me, blocked by branches, and cried.

We followed the direction of Yu Bo's finger and looked carefully at the rock, which was pitch black...... There seems to be a hole!

"What's that?"

"It can't be a secret base for the army, right?"

"How is that possible! How could the secret base of the army be located on such a deserted and populated island! ”

……

The few people standing in front of me were looking in and discussing the black hole.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, if we want to survive, we have to use all the resources at our disposal, and then find a way to be rescued." Yu Bo said as he took out a knife from his pocket, held it in front of his eyes, and walked cautiously towards the rock cave.

We followed him step by step into the cave.

"Drip, drip, drip......"

The hole was dark as far as the eye could see, and only the sound of water droplets rang in my ears.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!h

Zhou Qiuxian suddenly screamed, hugged Arthur's thighs tightly, closed his eyes tightly, and his lips kept trembling.

Arthur was really startled by Zhou Qiuxian's call, but she still followed Zhou Qiuxian's feet and touched the thing wrapped around her feet, and then relaxed and relieved:

"Oh, you're scared to death, it's just a branch, what's all the fuss, look at you scared like this."

"Tree ...... Twig? ”

Zhou Qiuxian opened his eyes and looked carefully at his feet, although the hole was pitch black, but when it was closer, he could still distinguish it.

"It turned out to be a tree branch, it scared me to death." Zhou Qiuxian patted his chest and shouted at Yu Bo: "Hey, don't you have a lighter?" It's so dark in the cave, why don't you use it, I'm scared half to death! ”

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot." Zhou Qiuxian's words reminded Yu Bo.

I saw him take out a lighter from his pocket, light the branch that was wrapping around Zhou Qiuxian just now, and hold it high in front of him.

The light lit up, and what was illuminated were two huge golden eyes. It swayed left and right in front of our eyes, opened its bloody mouth, drooling, and dripped on Yu Bo's hand drop by drop.

"Ahh!!!!h

The seven of us screamed together and looked at the monster in front of us - it was about ten meters tall, with slippery skin, and its tail writhing back and forth, as if excited.

Needless to say, it's a giant snake!

At the moment of life and death, we scattered like rats and turned around and ran towards the exit.

But, that dwarf!

But he collapsed on the ground, and with a frightened face, he stretched out a hand and kept calling for help.

"Help me, help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet!!"

The serpent's gaze squinted at the gnome, and it stretched out its mouth and bit down on the gnome's shoulder. Yu Bo turned his head and ran towards the big snake with a knife. He kept swinging, stabbing the serpent's scalp hard. But the scalp of the serpent was as hard as diamond iron, and it could not be pierced by a knife at all. Being "itched" by him, the big snake let go of the mouth that was biting the dwarf, tilted its head, looked at Yu Bo, and bit his arm......

"By the way, I have hypnotic gas!"

I stopped, looked back at Yubo, and remembered the two things I had stuffed into my bag this morning.

"Yu Bo, go on!" I immediately opened the bag and threw the hypnotic gas towards Yubo.

Yu Bo caught the hypnotic gas with his right hand, took a big breath, and then held his breath and kept spraying towards the nostrils of the big snake.

The serpent inhaled the gas, screamed, and fell to the ground, drowsily.

Yu Bo, covering his nose with one hand and poking the big snake with the other, after confirming that it had indeed fallen asleep, he lay down on the ground with peace of mind, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Zhao Xie, Yu Bo!"

I ran to them, crouched down in front of them, quickly opened my backpack, and took out the serum.

"Why did you carry this with you?" Zhou Qiuxian looked at me in surprise and asked me.

I didn't have time to explain, and I didn't know how to explain it, so I quickly injected the serum into the two of them without saying a word.

"Alright, it should be fine."

Just as I was about to wipe the sweat from my forehead, Arthur smiled and wiped it for me with his handkerchief.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Since there are only two men in the remainder, Wu Han and me, the burden of carrying them naturally falls on our heads. I carried Yu Bo on my back, and Wu Han carried the dwarf.

"Now we have two sick and wounded, let's stop today's search, it's important to send them back first." Wu Han said and lifted the dwarf up.

Everyone also stared at each other, nodded their heads, and approved Wu Han's proposal.

So we walked back the way we came, and when we arrived at the chalet it was 15 o'clock in the afternoon.
