The sensitivity to snakes stems from the experience of fighting in the jungle for many years, and ordinary people will not hear the sound of snakes spitting apricots and crawling, and it is not easy to smell the smell of snakes.

Mrs. Larry was clearly unaware of the danger she was in. She noticed that Petru was looking at her, and that her eyes were not quite right, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Madame, do you believe me?" Petru asked.

Mrs. Larry didn't know why he asked, but despite the suspicion in her eyes, she replied in the affirmative, "I believe you." ”

"Yes, ma'am, then please don't move, whatever I do, don't move!" Petru stared intently at the snake, and little by little his body crawled up, slowly approaching Mrs. Larry.

His appearance looked very weird, his eyes were straight, and his body seemed a little nervous. Mrs. Larry instinctively wanted to protect her body, and in the circumstances of last night, she could accept and even encourage Petru to do things that he shouldn't do, but now, she was a little afraid of him. However, she still chose to believe Petru, listened to him, and did not move.

Petru's movements apparently caught the snake's attention, and the snake's head stopped less than ten centimeters from Mrs. Larry's face, hissing and spitting red apricots at Petru.

Petru continued to move slowly, slowly approaching Lady Larry's body. His left hand was slowly outstretched, his fingers bent forward, as if he wanted to grasp something, and his right hand gripped the dagger tightly.

When his body was about to touch Mrs. Larry, the snake moved, and Petru's left hand quickly reached out, grabbing the snake seven inches in an instant. Then he rolled back and pulled the whole snake out from behind Mrs. Larry, and the dagger in his right hand slashed and severed the snake's head.

Mrs. Larry screamed in horror when she saw the body of a snake more than two meters long.

This frightened Petru. He never thought that the fearless scientific strong woman who looked down on life and death would be afraid of snakes, so he hurriedly threw away the snake in his hand, pounced on it and covered Mrs. Larry's mouth.

"Don't, don't make a sound, ma'am!" Petru whispered in her ear, "The snake is dead!" ”

Mrs. Larry calmed down, but her chest was still heaving violently.

Petru let go of his hand, silently praying in his heart that Madame's scream just now would not be heard by anyone outside.

He asked a little puzzled: "Madam, I don't really understand, shouldn't an archaeologist like you often go into the damp and dark underground to deal with snakes and insects?" Why are you afraid of snakes? ”

"Women and snakes are natural enemies." Mrs. Larry said, "The Lord God of the Bible says to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, you will be cursed above all the beasts of the beast.'" Thou shalt walk on thy belly, and thou shalt eat dirt all the days of thy life. and I will make enmity between you and the woman. and thy seed and the offspring of the woman are enmity against one another. The offspring of the woman shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel......"

"I didn't expect you to be a devout Christian!" Petru laughed, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't have any disrespect. I'm just weird, people who study science would also believe it...... Forehead...... Is the Book of Genesis the same? ”

Mrs. Larry said, "Science can also draw nourishment from theology, as long as it does not contradict our quest for truth." ”

"Well, that sounds familiar!" Petru remembered the priest.

The headless snake was still writhing on the ground, and Mrs. Larry turned her head away and closed her eyes from looking at it: "Please, get it away!" ”

"Madame, I am willing to serve you, but Jehovah does not seem to want to spare you, and is sending a steady stream of your enemies to you." Petru said.

"What?" Mrs. Larry was taken aback, and opened her eyes to see Petru standing in front of her, with a cat hunched over his waist and a dagger in his hand, and several large snakes in front of him, raising their heads in an attacking gesture.

Mrs. Larry, sensitive to snakes, shrank back astringently, and then felt a little slippery on her shoulder, and when she turned her head, a snake had climbed up her shoulder, and the red apricot that spit out almost touched her face.

She screamed, her hands clutching at her side in panic. Suddenly, a knife flashed, and a dagger stabbed at her, slashing the snake on her shoulder to the ground.

Petru pulled Mrs. Larry into his arms, and with the incessant swing of his dagger, he stabbed or drove away several snakes that swam by.

The dead snakes on the ground seemed to shock their kind, and some of them stopped at a distance from Petrux and Mrs. Larry, hissing and spitting apricots, as if to be tempted.

More and more snakes crawled out of the rocks, and the hissing sound became louder and louder.

Seeing the dense snakes surrounding them in a circle, Petru also felt that his scalp was numb, and the dagger in his hand was useless. He couldn't help but think of his guns and grenades, if he was all armed, why fear these snakes?

"What the hell did you fall into a snake's den!" He cursed almost resignedly.

Mrs. Larry's body was trembling, and Petru had no choice but to hug her tightly and comfort: "Madam, it's okay, you just said that it's a big deal to make this our burial place." It's better to be eaten by a snake than to be eaten by a wild man as a barbecue! These snakes are venomous, and with a few bites, we will die without pain as if we had been given numbs. ”

Mrs. Larry seemed to feel a little better when she heard him say this, and although her body was still shaking, her spirit had calmed down. She leaned on Petru's shoulder and suddenly exclaimed, "There! There don't seem to be snakes on that road! ”

Petru looked back and sure enough, there were no snakes on the ground between several rocks, as if someone had sprinkled sulfur on them.

"Let's go!" He lifted Mrs. Larry by the hand and gestured back with his knife.

The snakes around them came up like a tidal wave, always following them.

They slowly retreated to the edge of the stairs along the place where there were no snakes, and as long as they went up, they were above the altar.

The steps were also densely crawled with snakes, leaving only a narrow passage. Petru looked upwards and saw no wildlings.

"I'll carry you up." He knew that Mrs. Larry's health was not good, so he crouched down and said.

But Mrs. Larry said, "No, I can go myself, and you can concentrate on the snake." ”

Petru nodded, and helped Madame up.

Mrs. Larry did not dare to look at the snakes all over the ground, but looked down at the road under her feet, and murmured, "There is not even a single grass in this place, what do these snakes eat and grow up?" ”

"What did you say?" A light suddenly flashed through Petru's head, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"I said that the environment here can't support so many snakes, unless the snakes of the whole island are concentrated here, where the hell did they come from?"

"I see!" Petru's heart pounded, "It's a dream!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he felt a whirlwind of the world. He thought that the dream was going to collapse, but the dream stubbornly held on there, and it would never collapse.

He couldn't get out of the dream, it was like a nightmare, and his mind and body were so uncomfortable that he died.

Seeing his ugly face, Mrs. Larry asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Petru struggled to say, "Madam, we are saved." I'm sure it's a forbidden place for them, and as long as we stay here, they can't do anything to us. These snakes are fake, hallucinations after the wizarding old man hypnotized us, and we are all in dreams. He just wanted us to go up on our own. Right now...... Let's get back to ...... Let's go to ......"

He looked so uncomfortable that he couldn't even take a steady step.

Mrs. Larry had no choice but to hold him up and ask, "Are you sure we're going back down there?" ”

"Sure, ma'am!" Petru said, "You have to believe me! ”

Mrs. Larry stopped talking, and despite the weakness and pain of her body, helped Petru down the steps and back into the rubble.

The snake in front of her blocked her path, threatening her with its triangular head and scarlet apricots. She lifted her foot, hesitated, and then stepped down.

Boom, the air fluctuated, and Petrux and Mrs. Larry's brains thundered at the same time.

All the snakes are gone, and everything is back to its original state.

They looked up and saw that the four edges above the altar were surrounded by savages, and their patriarch was facing them with a scepter in his hand.

A crow croaked and flew through the sky.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a super full moon slowly rose from the sky. 8)
