374 Snake Swamp Ghost Town
"Broken Chen... A-Ning she..."Wu Xie stumbled and opened his mouth, but it was difficult to finish the words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Because he can't imagine what kind of terrifying torrent is hidden under Xuechen's emotionless face, there is a way that the city gate is on fire and affects the pond fish, in case Xuechen is furious, they are the unlucky.
The fat man and Panzi stood beside him, their eyes were on Xuechen, and neither of them spoke. In their minds, Xuechen and Aning are a couple, and now A-Ning is definitely uncomfortable except for such an accident, Xuechen must be uncomfortable, maybe it will blow up at one point, they don't dare to provoke him at this time, but they don't know that these are actually their own thinking too much.
Xuechen leaned down and took A-Ning's body from Wu Xie's arms, and he was calm from beginning to end.
The woman hadn't taken her last breath yet, maybe she was unwilling, maybe she was longing for life, so she was still persevering, even though it would only last one more minute of her life.
Probably feeling that the person holding him had been replaced by Xuechen, A-Ning's face faintly showed an indescribable smile. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but the overbearing poison of the cockscomb had invaded her nervous system, and she could not speak, and even lost her vision.
Still, Xuechen understood what she was trying to say.
"At least... I can die in your arms..."
Xuechen silently looked at the woman in his arms that he had never liked very much, and for the first time felt that his previous opinion of her was too biased.
Yes, she is strong and domineering, but as a woman, she is tougher than most men; She is scheming and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals; She is ruthless, lives for herself, and can push those around her to death.
She has such and such shortcomings, but for love, she is sincere.
Such a woman, Duan Chen once lived up to it, because he couldn't hold so much love in his heart.
Xuechen hated this kind of deity very much, because he gave up his two younger sisters who were related to him, gave up the true family who was very affectionate to him, and gave up the Kirishima Dongka who was branded by him in the depths of his heart.
The pain and torture that those girls endured, Broken Chen would not understand, but Xuechen now understands a little.
Love, sometimes it's really the most bitter thing in the world.
That kind of helplessness and despair is exactly the same as A-Ning's mood at this time.
"Heh, that guy is a real bastard, since you don't want to do it, then I'll do it!" Thinking of Broken Chen's previous actions, Xuechen couldn't help but sneer, then opened his mouth and bit A-Ning's neck.
His abrupt action startled Wu Xie and the others, and they even wondered if Xuechen was so big that he lost his mind because of Ah Ning's death.
Only the stuffy oil bottle flashed a fine light in his eyes after seeing Xuechen's movements.
"Ahhh!!h A-Ning, who was originally dying, suddenly let out a terrible scream, and Wu Xie and the others were terrified for a moment when they heard this cry, because the sound was like a ghost cry ringing in the ears in the dark night, gloomy and cold.
At this time, two red liquids shot out from the two tooth holes on A-Ning's neck that were bitten out by the cockscomb snake, and landed on the water, and a cloud of green smoke rose with a loud sound, which showed how poisonous this thing was. However, when encountering the venom used by the blood clan for the first time, the snake venom was like a mouse seeing a cat and being forced out of the body.
A-Ning was still screaming, the huge pain made her whole body arch, and after a few breaths, she completely softened.
Xuechen put away his teeth, licked the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and let out a sigh, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Well, this woman's blood tastes good." ā
Wu Xie and the others looked at them in a daze from beginning to end, and it was only after this moment that they came back to their senses a little.
The fat man's nerves are relatively thick, and he can't hide the words in his heart the most, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Brother Broken, what are you doing?" ā
Xuechen glanced at him and only said two words: "Save her." ā
Wu Xie's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief. How fierce the poison of the cockscomb snake is, Wu Xie knows better than anyone else, and the location where Ah Ning was bitten is still the neck closest to the brain, how can it be saved? And this bite can save people? Are you sure you're not kidding me?
"Can it really be saved?" The fat man was busy asking, he didn't think as much as Wu Xie thought, anyway, in his cognition, the golden sign of 'Broken Little Brother' was omnipotent.
Xuechen didn't answer, he picked up A-Ning horizontally and walked to a dry place to sit down. Ah Ning's breathing has stabilized, and his life is completely worry-free, but it will take time for his body to be transformed. And when she wakes up, she will also become a member of the blood clan, a blood clan.
"Hurry up and rest, and we'll be off in a moment." Xuechen said without raising his head.
Wu Xie and the others looked at each other, and finally went to their respective jobs.
The stuffy oil bottle walked to the side of Xuechen, and his eyes were a little strange: "Is this your method of eternal life?" What made you choose this cursed power? ā
"It was just an accident, but for now, that's all I have." Xuechen smiled after saying this, and continued, "Now that you understand, I will scoff at the immortality of that kind of urban ghoul. ā
The stuffy oil bottle didn't say anything more, but judging from his face, he had let down his guard against Xuechen, but he still wondered about Xuechen's purpose.
Sensing his thoughts, Xuechen said: "Regarding this matter, you will understand later, I am just a passerby, I will only appear here for some reason, if you are still confused, then before I leave here, I will give you the answer." ā
Hearing this, the stuffy oil bottle finally nodded and walked away.
Because of A-Ning's incident, everyone lost their appetite for food, and after a short rest, the group set off again.
Xuechen didn't want to waste time waiting for A-Ning to wake up before leaving, so he put her on his back and carried her all the way forward.
Although the road ahead was difficult, several people kept moving and gradually approached the location of the palace of the Queen Mother of the West.
The surrounding vegetation is getting less and less, and some dilapidated old buildings are starting to appear in the swamp. Wu Xie studied for a while and determined that this was the outer complex of the West Queen Mother's Palace, but after thousands of years of destruction, these buildings had been turned into ruins, and most of them had been submerged under the swamp.
So now the question is, the terrain of this peripheral building is not at the lowest point of the basin, but most of it has been submerged, so isn't the core part of the West Queen Mother Palace all flooded? Now they don't have diving equipment, so how can they get in?
"What do you think?" To this question, Wu Xie asked about the stuffy oil bottle, hoping that this guy who had been here here twenty years ago would remember something.
The stuffy oil bottle just shook his head, which made Wu Xie a little disappointed.
"According to the notes left by Chen Wenjin, their team must have been in when they came here in the nineties, which shows that there is definitely a way." Wu Xie thought like this and beckoned everyone to move on.
By the end of the evening, the procession had penetrated deep into the center of the West Queen Mother's Palace, where the ruins and ruins were even denser. The ancient and strange architectural style, the dilapidated and barren scene, and the constant blowing wind make this place like a ghost town where ghosts gather.
Everyone found a place with the highest position and prepared to set up camp here.
As soon as they left the water, several big men began to take off their shoes and pants in unison. After wading in the water for more than a day, they felt like their feet were going to be soaked.
Even if you wear professional waterproof boots, but you have been walking in the water, it is always inevitable that the shoes will get into the water, so as soon as the shoes are torn off, several pairs of miserable white feet will leak out, and the skin will fall off when touched.
"Grass! What a fucking sin this trip! The fat man scolded, took out the smokeless stove from his backpack and lit it, and then put a pair of fat feet over to roast, Wu Xie and Pan Zi did the same, roasting their feet around the smokeless stove, and for a while the air was filled with a strange smell, which was sour.
The stuffy oil bottle found some wood that was not soaked, piled it up on the edge of the smokeless stove to dry, and then set it up to make a campfire. Now the fire was hot, and several people began to bake clothes again. It was definitely a very pleasant thing to be able to bake a fire in this humid swamp, and that warm feeling made Wu Xie and them fall asleep before they could eat.
Xuechen waited until they were done, and then sat next to the fire with Ah Ning in his arms, and used the fire to bake the clothes, which was definitely much less labor-saving than using his own mental strength to dry the clothes, and it was indeed quite comfortable to be able to bake the fire. Before he didn't go with Wu Xie and them, it was because he disliked the smell of several big men.
There is no way, after two days of crawling in the humid rainforest, Wu Xie and the others are almost rancid, and the taste can be imagined.
"Innocent, help me get those cans." The fat man set up a pot on the fire and beckoned Wu Xie to help prepare dinner.
This time, in addition to a large amount of compressed food, they also brought a lot of canned vegetables and meat. Now that I have found the location of the West Queen Mother's Palace, I naturally want to take some out and have a good meal, and I will have the strength to work tomorrow.
The fat guy is a rough man, and it's completely unrealistic to expect him to cook any kind of food that is full of color and flavor, but he is very good at eating, otherwise he wouldn't be so fat, so he can cook some food.
Based on the limited ingredients in his hands, the fat man simply threw a bunch of things into the pot, poured water into the ingredients, and stewed directly, and finally boiled a pot of paste. But not to mention, it tastes good, at least it smells like this, mainly because there are vegetables and meat, and it is very rare to be able to eat these in this kind of place.
Wu Xie and Pan Zi squatted next to the fire, watching with blank eyes, swallowing saliva twice from time to time, and even the cold stuffy oil bottle kept looking at the pot, it seemed that they were really hungry along the way.
Xuechen didn't look at it next to him, but kept staring at A-Ning, wondering in his heart whether to take another bite and drink some blood. It's really time to eat, and everyone wants to eat, but there is a difference in what they eat.
Wu Xie asked Xuechen to go over to eat, he said no, a few people thought he was worried about A-Ning, so they didn't bother him anymore, just ate there by themselves, a big pot was enough for ten people to eat, but the four of them ate only a little bit of the bottom of the pot. The fat man added some more water, saying that it would be enough for a thin meal tomorrow morning.
After eating and drinking, sleepiness welled up, and several people found a place to lie down and sleep. Pan Zi offered to keep vigil, and Wu Xie said that he would keep watch in the first half of the night, and replace him in the second half of the night, after which everyone rested.
In the middle of the night, the sound of water ripples fluctuating came into Xuechen's ears, this sound was so small that it was almost nothing, not even the stuffy oil bottle could be heard, and only he, a non-human, woke up from his false sleep.
With a sweep of his eyes, Xuechen noticed that there was something unusual in the swamp around him, and in the murky water, he could see countless blood-red cockscomb snakes, diving towards here.
