Chapter 29: Entering the Snake Forest

A powerful heat wave rushed over me, and I only felt a burning heat behind me.

Looking at the raging fire, my heart squeezed tightly.

It's not fear, it's not happiness, it's worry. Now it's clear that someone wants to kill me, and this person has my dad's mobile phone, so it's very likely that he also has my dad's whereabouts.

The more I thought about it, the more unstable I became, and now I can only hope that my father lost the phone accidentally, and that he is still in the woods of Jianfeng Ridge.

We traveled overnight and finally came across a bus that was heading to Jianfeng Ridge after the wee hours of the morning.

Less than five minutes after getting on the bus, everyone smashed into their seats and began to fall asleep, only Yu Nian remained awake.

Next to me sat the Tuso, who didn't look like a snow wolf or more like a fat husky. In less than five minutes after getting in the car, it will already be snoring.

"What kind of existence is this snow wolf clan, why do I always feel as if I was sent by God to punish me when I look at this person?"

"There was a small village at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and there was a plague outbreak in the village, and strangely enough, all the people who died were over ten years old. Later, these lucky children were taken back to the cave by the snow wolves on the mountain to raise, and they hunted and ran with the young wolves since they were young, and over time their physical strength and attack power were obviously different from ordinary people. Because it is difficult to contact people outside, it only reproduces within the clan, and slowly forms a small group of snow wolf clans. I have dealt with it a few times before, and the people of the Snow Wolf Clan are very affectionate, absolutely obedient to their life-saving benefactors, and repay them all their lives. If there is a traitor, he will be punished by the wolves and bitten to death. Although his temper is extremely bad, he is simple-minded and much simpler than people. ”

I agree with Yu Nian's words, and after experiencing so many things, I also recognize a truth - there are thousands of filths in the world, and people's hearts are the dirtiest.

We staggered all the way until four o'clock in the morning to reach the foot of Pinnacle Ridge.

The conductor pointed to a foggy patch not far away, "That's it, just go straight away." ”

I thanked everyone and got out of the car.

Lao Meng lifted his backpack and said, "If it weren't for a good memory, I would have thought we were here for a spring outing." ”

"Rush!" Liao Kao's voice suddenly came from the opposite side, and he was squatting here so early in the morning, presumably he came last night.

Liao Kao subconsciously wanted to hug Teng Chong, but Teng Chong deftly avoided it.

On the contrary, it was Suihe, who was obviously much happier after seeing Liao Kao.

A few people smiled and greeted, and finally Liao Kao noticed Tuso beside me.

"Who is this Thor?"

Tuso didn't intend to introduce himself, so I thought about it and said, "It's a thug I hired, but it's amazing." ”

I stumbled through and began to make my way to the Pinnacle Ridge rainforest according to the map I had prepared early in the morning.

The forest was like a monster with its mouth wide open waiting to devour me, and I knew how dangerous it was, but I tightened my backpack and took it in.

For my dad, and for the clarification of the doubts in my heart.

The trees in the forest were straight to the sky, blocking almost all the sunlight, and I felt a little chilly when I walked into the forest.

Strangely enough, there was no other debris on the ground, bare except for trees and grass.

"This forest is strange, it's all trees, and you can't even see the grass." Old Meng muttered.

Teng Chong stepped forward, "It seems that someone has been removed." ”

When I looked down, the soil on the ground seemed to have been turned over, could it be that this forest was regularly tended for? This Pinnacle Ridge Rainforest is a very pristine forest, both plants and animals grow naturally in the wild, where can someone come here to weed.

I followed at the back of the line, walking and walking, only to feel the wind gusting.

I glanced back warily, but saw nothing. I shook my head, thinking that I had recently been severely stimulated and had become suspicious. I took two more steps forward, only to realize that it was not like that.

I could clearly feel that there was a cool silk thing on my neck that seemed to be licking. I froze in place, my neck curled up, and I didn't dare to move.

"Take two steps faster, what are you doing grinding and chirping!" Lao Meng turned around and called me, but I didn't even dare to make a sound.

Seeing that I didn't move, Lao Meng came over angrily, and just happened to see something behind me, and stopped in place.

"Xiao Ding,,, don't move." Lao Meng stumbled, cold sweat flowing.

Yu Nian and the others seemed to have noticed the movement on our side at this time, and walked towards the two of us.

"I'll shout one, two, three, and you'll lie down." Yu Nian told me.

I didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly made an OK gesture with my hand. Yu Nian seemed to be looking at Lao Meng behind me, maybe the time had come, she softly began to count "one, two......" My heart rose to my throat.

"Three!" The moment Yu Nian shouted three, I quickly threw myself forward and lay on the ground fiercely.

Lao Meng jumped up behind me, grabbed something behind me, and fell to the tree with his life. When I got up, I saw that it was a snake with the thickness of a small arm.

The snake is not thin, but it is very short. Lao Meng grabbed the snake's tail, twitched back and forth on the tree several times, and after confirming that the thing was out of gas, he threw it aside.

"Triangle head, poisonous snake." Lao Meng also seemed to be frightened, and wiped his sweat after throwing the snake out.

"This snake just hung upside down behind me?" It's hard for me to imagine the shape of that snake.

Lao Meng gave me a simple comparison, probably wrapped around the branch above my head. It seems that if I am a little later, my life will be lost, and I am afraid of cold sweat when I think about it.

Just as we were on our guard, the woods behind us seemed to be disturbed, and there was a rustling sound, as if something was rushing towards us.

Tuso's ears moved, and he said faintly, "This seems to be a snake forest." ”

I looked down the trunk towards the top of the tree, and vaguely saw something hidden in the branches.

Lao Meng followed my gaze and said, ", it's another snake!" ”

Teng Chongchong seemed to have seen something at this time, and pointed to the other side, "There are also here!" ”

Not only those two trees, but the top of each tree in our hand seemed to be vaguely coiled. It seems that they are all disturbed by something at the moment, and they are all climbing down from the trees, ready to surround us.

Yu Nian turned his head and walked in the other direction, and a few of us followed in a panic. After walking a few steps, I found that it was useless wherever I went, and there was a snake the thickness of a small arm on every tree. And the colors are different, black and yellow, and grass green, and I can see goosebumps coming out layer by layer.

"What should I do? There is no way out! "I looked around and there was no exit to break through.

"It's all poisonous snakes... Old Meng muttered.

I've been afraid of this thing since I was a child, and my scalp is numb as long as I hear the sound, not to mention that now it's like a tide surging so much at once, "You don't care if it's poisonous or not, so many snakes, disgusting and disgusting to you!" ”

The snake reacts quickly, and we don't dare to rush under the tree. Maybe it disturbed it somewhere, and rushed down to give us a mouthful.

Yu Nian pulled out the dagger at his waist and turned back to signal us to follow. I consciously retreated to the back of the line, and then took the cinnabar knife that Yu Nian threw at me, surveying the surrounding situation from time to time, and all the movements were tacitly coordinated.

The snake in the tree seemed to be watching us warily, ready to move. Coiled on the trunk of the tree, spitting out letters. As soon as I heard this sound, I felt a numb on my scalp, which may have been the sequelae of my previous experiences.

Yu Nian looked at the scene in front of him, "These snakes seem to have been kept here. ”

Liao Kao said, "Raise here? There's no place to catch it if you run away! ”

Tuso spoke at this time, "If I'm not mistaken, the trunks and the ground here are coated with realgar powder, and these snakes can't get down." ”

Hearing Tuso say this, I rubbed the letter suspiciously against one of the trunks, and scratched it lightly with my fingers, as if it really smelled of realgar, and I couldn't see that there was really something in the stomach of this husky.

Liao Kao seemed to think of something, patted his head and said, "There is a kind of people here in Yunnan, called snake breeders, they have their own set of methods for raising mountain snakes, the most common is to raise them on trees, and when the snake grows up, it will be invited down." It is estimated that the place where the snake keeper lives is not far from the front. ”

Snake breeders? I'd never heard of it before, but it sounds like a beekeeper.

I took one look at the colorful snake and asked Liao Kao, "What is the use of this snake when it is raised?" "A poisonous snake can't always be used for ornamental purposes.

"Raising Gu." Yu Nian said. "Although they can't get down, but to be on the safe side, I still paint a little realgar on my body."

We put our hands on the trunk of the tree and rubbed it a few times as Yu Nian said, and only after making sure that we had the smell on our hands did we dare to move forward with confidence.

Although the snakes in this tree will not attack us, I still feel my scalp tingle when I look at them hanging on the tree.

I try to avoid tree trunks and walk in open places.

Liao Kao is really right, although those snakes are eyeing us, they never dare to come down and attack, it should be taboo to smell below.

What I didn't notice was that Tuso, though he seemed scattered and didn't take it all seriously, was actually following me all along. Although I can't understand the significance of pulling out the ice to break the ice to the Snow Wolf Clan, I am still grateful for Tusuo's subconscious actions.

"Hey, do you know what my name is?" I asked him.

"If I had known, would you have died sooner?"

"I shouldn't be able to ......"

"Then I know what that's useless for."

I am presumptuous to use the word gratitude......
