After walking for another half hour, the sky was already bright, and even if the trees above were thick, they still couldn't block the bright light from shining in. Therefore, I also saw the situation of the people around me clearly, as well as the dark back in front of me, and the cool air gasped in my heart.

Sheng Shiyao was even more seriously injured than I thought! There were obvious blood stains on his shoulders, and his clothes were also torn, which should have been the knife that I had blocked in the first place, and then a white bandage passed from his chest through his shoulders and around his back, although there was no blood in sight, but this way of binding must have been deep and long with the knife on his chest.

My eyes were sour, the mist was rising, and guilt was flooding my heart. Before that, because my vision was blocked, I couldn't see the real situation, and he always gave me a strong feeling, and just now I saw that he was also calm, and everything was decided in an orderly manner, always thinking that he would not be hurt too much, even if the guilt was not so strong. At this time, I found that this was not the case, and the sadness in my heart was indescribable.

The water mist was hazy in front of him, and he didn't notice his feet for a while, and he tripped over something, and he went straight forward. After dawn, a few of us didn't follow closely anymore, and we all scattered some distances, so this time we fell down, and we fell directly into a dog eating. Fortunately, it was on the grass, so it didn't hurt too much, but I could feel the heat on my cheeks, and when I reached out, there was a little blood, and it was actually scratched by the grass.

The horizontal surface of this grass is very sharp, and the pants at the calf are cut one by one along the way. Sheng Shiyao, who was walking in front, turned around when he heard the sound, and his big hand was inserted into the crook of my arm and helped me up, and then I finally saw the situation on his chest. The bandage was stained with blood, shocking, Liu Yue could only help him roughly bandage it in the dark before, so much blood was clearly that the wound was extremely deep, and it was possible that it was cracked again.

And Sheng Shiyao, except for his slightly heavier breath, seemed to have no pain, his eyebrows did not frown, and his dark eyes were still clear. He followed my line of sight, glanced at randomly, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's talk about what to go out." "He was originally disguised as Dongming, but now the disguise has been removed and changed back to his own appearance.

Just as we were about to move on, he suddenly paused, his eyes fixed behind us, and everyone unconsciously looked back. But I didn't see anything, and I couldn't help but be surprised, what was he looking at? I saw him make a silent gesture and point to his ears again, signaling us to listen carefully. In the quiet forest, apart from the slight heavy breathing of a few of us, there did seem to be other small voices, and they were approaching us little by little.

As far as the eye could see, we couldn't see anything unusual, in fact, if it wasn't for Sheng Shiyao's reminder, we wouldn't have noticed the sound. The scalp was a little numb, this sound didn't sound like people were crawling forward, and we were all still, if Wong Tai Sin's people really tracked down, they would either stand still, or rush over directly to arrest people. It's not going to be like this, and it's not going to keep coming to us.

Just in hesitation, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and his eyes widened in shock, oh my God, there are really snakes! And there is more than one, it is innumerable, everyone changes color, only to hear Liu Yue shouting: "It's not good, let's run." "One or two snakes, there are five of us here, it is more than enough to deal with, but hundreds of snakes are not a joke, only one word "run" flashed in our minds, but just as we turned around, we found that there were also countless snakes in front of us slowly congested.

The snakes are all dark red, and the snake's head is triangular, judging by a little common sense of snakes, these are likely to be poisonous snakes. And there is a strange phenomenon, they seem to be slowly surrounding us, forming a circle around us, but then stopping three meters away, as if waiting for something.

Something strange crossed in my heart, as if I thought of something, I looked down at my feet, and I exclaimed in fright at this sight, what tripped me just now turned out to be a golden-skinned python as thick as an arm, which was covered by dense grass, revealing only a small piece of golden skin. I didn't look at other people's faces, I only knew that my face turned white after brushing, and I intuitively went to Sheng Shiyao for help.

I saw him staring at the exposed small snake body for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's dead." ”

Yes? That golden-skinned python is dead? I couldn't help but look at it again, it was indeed motionless, it stands to reason that I tripped over it, and if it moved, it would definitely react, and it might even turn around and bite me. But it didn't do anything, not even swim.

When I was a child, I had a terrible memory of snakes, and I sat in the yard reading a book, and suddenly a snake fell from the top of my head, which happened to fall on me, and I was scared to cry at that time, even if my grandmother later said that it was an inch snake, it was a good snake, and I still couldn't eliminate the fear of snakes. And now, there is a golden python with unknown life and death at my feet, surrounded by dark red poisonous snakes, I really can't describe the fear, I just feel that my heart is about to jump out, and I even feel that my feet are a little weak.

Sheng Shiyao raised his hand and folded a branch, looked at the group of snakes around him defensively, and then took the branch to pick up the messy grass covering the golden python's body, and gradually, the golden snake body gradually revealed. When the snake's head was revealed, I felt inexplicably palpitated, and when I looked closely, I found that it really seemed to be dead, and then I breathed a sigh of relief. But the danger alarm in front of him was lifted, and the poisonous snakes around him hadn't left yet, and suddenly thought: So many people gathered around and stopped there and didn't dare to move forward, could it be because they were afraid of this golden-skinned python?

But if the golden-skinned pythons are found dead, will they still stagnate? As soon as the thought rolled, I saw several snakes swimming slowly, as if they had been sent out to spy on the enemy. I only heard Sheng Shiyao shout: "Light the fire!" Immediately Liuzi and Liu Yue both bowed down, Zhou Tong even if his feet were inconvenient, he quickly went to pull the dry branches on both sides, I drew a gourd to learn him to break the branches down, and soon the grass at our feet was ignited, and smoke came out.

The group of snakes was really afraid of the fire, and those who had been close shrank back, and even the group of snakes fell back two meters, but they still refused to leave, as if they did not give up. This method does not work, the fire burns small, not only will they not go, but they will continue to come up; The fire is burning, this place is a jungle area, it is likely to burn into a forest fire, then it is not a joke, we have become arsonists, and we will go to jail.

I believe that this concern is not only in my mind, so everyone's faces are ugly. Sheng Shiyao frowned slightly, and suddenly bent down to catch the golden-skinned python, and I shouted in shock: "Be careful of poison!" But his fingers had already caught the golden python, and he lifted it up at once, and the snake was more than a meter long. Liu Yue said angrily: "The snake venom is all on its teeth, where does the snake body get the poison, is there any common sense?" ”

I didn't squeak, for a moment it was just an instinctive scream, because although it looked like the golden-skinned python was dead, it was hard to guarantee that it was only in a state of suspended animation, and it would be terrible if it suddenly came back to life. Wait, just as the thought rolled through my head, I seemed to see the snake body moving! Before I could react to remind Sheng Shiyao, he found a military knife out of nowhere and stabbed the golden python with quick movements.

"Isn't this snake dead?" Zhou Tong shouted silently beside him, obviously he also saw the abnormality just now. Liu Yue's face turned pale, and he shouted urgently: "Brother Yao, let go." But seeing that Sheng Shiyao ignored it, he used the military knife to pull down, cut open the snake's belly, and something fell from its body...... There was a small dark red snake similar to the poisonous snake around it, and it was still swimming after it had fallen to the ground, and we all scattered at the same time.

It's so surprising that there are snakes among snakes! No wonder the golden-skinned snake was moving, it seemed that this little snake was swimming in its body, and when it swam a few times, it went to the egg-like thing. The snakes that were watching from afar all swam towards us without any scruples, as if they had received some signal.

Sheng Shiyao commanded in a deep voice: "Let's retreat, vacate this place, and light a circle of fire around us." We did as we were told, and the sight of the snakes coming from all directions was truly thrilling, for I had never seen so many snakes in my life, and the same kind of venomous snake with a dark red triangular head. But something strange happened, the snakes touched the fire and retreated, and then they all went around us and swam to the very middle.

Swimming all the way to the snake with the white egg-like thing, he didn't attack, he just hugged it, and then it was as if he was holding it on his body, including the egg, and the stars swam in one direction like the moon, and the momentum was huge.

In a matter of moments, the snakes were gone, and disappeared into the weeds, as if the danger had never existed, and I could hardly believe my eyes if it weren't for the disembowelmented goldenrod at our feet. Turning his head to look at them beside him in a daze, he saw that except for Sheng Shiyao, the other three people were all shocked on their faces.

I looked at Sheng Shiyao and asked with palpitations, "What's going on?" "In such a dangerous situation just now, only if he remained calm and calm from beginning to end, he must know the reason. Sure enough, he told us the answer, the little snake that was swallowed by the golden-skinned python should be the female snake in this group of snakes, and it is likely that she just gave birth to snake eggs, and was swallowed by the golden-skinned python with all the eggs. But the golden-skinned python didn't expect that the little snake had a very strong vitality, and it didn't die in its body, and it bit back, and the golden-skinned python should have been bitten to death by the little snake's fangs.

In other words, the snakes were not actually attacking us, but to save the mother snake and the snake eggs, and we were just standing next to the dead golden-skinned python, and almost fell into the target of the snakes. When you think about it, you can't help but be afraid, so many snakes, at the last moment just now, they seem to be desperate to rush up. I really didn't expect that a cold-blooded animal like a snake would launch such a large-scale operation to save his own race.

Sheng Shiyao didn't say anything more, lowered his head and rummaged in the body of the golden snake with a military knife, the blood was dripping, and I felt sick and disgusted, so I quickly turned my head away. After a few seconds, he was heard saying, "Hurry up, we have a fire here, the target is exposed, and someone will catch up soon." ”
