Chapter 16: Snakeskin

I heard footsteps in the distance, and my heart was so cautious at this moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese are clearly things that happened when I came down from the mirror bridge. But the strange thing is that this time I actually experienced the past from a different angle. I looked up at the blue overhanging sea, trying to see if I was dreaming. But everything was real, and I withdrew my gaze to the man in front of me. He stared up and down at me with horrified eyes. All this made me creep, and I instinctively shuddered and retreated, and when I retreated to the bushes, I really couldn't understand what it was all about, and turned and jumped into the grass and ran away again in a frenzy!

All the way, my face was pale and pale, I ran aimlessly in the forest, the more I ran, the more frightened I became, and I felt that I was really going to collapse if I continued like this. The weird thing that's happening here really can't be explained by scientific logic. Just as I was thinking about it, I stumbled and fell under my feet, and I fell solidly and ate.

I rubbed my torn chin and looked up at the sight of the many dense trees parted by the clearing, and the messy grass and the bronze masks that stood and fell on the grass. I came to this place again, and I even wondered if there was any plant like ghost ginseng in this space that could hallucinate people. But I thought about it and rejected this idea, because hallucinations have to be very strong to kill people, and any demons and monsters can appear in hallucinations. And nothing that happened here showed any real ghost lice. Besides, we have been careful not to touch anything hallucinogenic along the way, and the experience of the last Ryugu has also allowed us to learn as much as possible about all the hallucinogenic things in nature.

I saw the bronze masks, and this time I didn't touch them again. But these things make me very puzzled, who left them behind? The Bronze Mask is supposed to be the mark of the 'Dark' organization, have they also come to this place of ruins? It's unlikely to think about it, the ruins didn't just say they entered, how did our team get in and still don't understand!

I continued deep into the woods, knowing I couldn't turn back. The group of 'teammates' who had come back from the dead had begun to move inside. The woods were very dense, and although it was early in the morning, I walked cautiously and did not go to the open as much as possible. Along the way, I often came to the picture of my teammates being gouged out of their hearts one by one in the wooden house! Every time I think about it, my heart is cold. Until now, I can't believe that my teammates who were born and died in the Dragon Palace with me died inexplicably like this, and this way of being dug out of their hearts and dying even in my dreams could not have imagined.

Since I ate a little canned food and food last night, I haven't eaten rice water until now, and my stomach is already hungry and drumming. But now I don't dare to go back to my old hut because I don't know what else will happen there. I had to wander around the woods, trying to find something I could eat. But the woods were artificial, from the beginning, with no wind, no natural sounds, and perhaps even the sunlight shining in the sky was not real. However, in order to survive, I was still looking around carefully for something that could satisfy my hunger with wild fruits and grasses.

I don't know how long I've been looking for it, but I feel that there is nothing in my stomach that can be digested, and my whole body is soft and pale. At this time, I suddenly noticed that there was a flowery thing at the top of the tree on the side, and I took a look at how it looked like a big flower snake!

Snake!? My spirit shook, there's a snake in the tree? There could be a living thing! Then it means that it is food. However, the premise is to kill it.

Seeing the big flower snake motionless on the trunk of the tree, my heart was a little shocked, because the size of this snake is really a little big, and the body is as thick as my arm, and I have never even heard of such a huge flower snake. Is it a forest snake? Looking at more than half of the snake's body, it is not real to see that it is hidden in the bushes, and the exposed pattern parts alone are five or six meters! Now I was so shocked that I almost flashed my tongue, you must know that the length of the general forest snake is only about five meters, and the damn flower snake actually shows part of the body is so long? What is this thing?

It is said that in the Amazon basin the forest snake preys on waterfowl, turtles, capybaras, tapirs, etc., and sometimes even swallows a two-meter-long caiman. The heart said that if it was only a forest worm, I would fucking eat it, and it would not be easy! After all, how can I compete as well as an adult caiman?

However, I have always liked to watch "Man and Nature", and I have a general understanding of the habits of snakes like forest snakes. Because most of the frogs are nocturnal, they sleep very heavily in the sun on the trunks of trees during the day, so now is actually the perfect time.

What to do? I looked at the thorn in my hand and thought about whether I would die without food. Besides, I haven't experienced any terrible things along the way, if you say that you are facing those 'people' who don't know whether they are humans or ghosts. I'd rather face a real snake, after all, this kind of snake exists in the real world. The so-called 'wealth is sought in danger, and evil is born in guts' This time I didn't eat it, let it eat me!

Having made up my mind, I naturally won't be procrastinating, because I know that if I wait, my courage will shrink. I took a deep breath, bit the thorn and climbed the huge tree as thick as the two of them hugging each other, I couldn't go into the water since I was a child, I didn't do a lot of work to climb the tree, and this tree was not difficult for me. After a few climbs, I have reached the center of the tree. As I watched the body of the large snake above my head get closer and closer to me, I even felt the sound of my own rapid heartbeat, and I knew that I had to be calm at this time, because the snake was a creature that was activated by the heat of its prey. Now I'm sweating profusely, and if this snake wakes up, I guess I'll die a terrible death! At this moment, it was like looking for sweat in front of a dried corpse in the Dragon Palace, and it really felt like death.

I had climbed under the flower snake, holding a tree trunk with my left hand and a tree trunk with both feet, so that my body was fixed. With his right hand, he pulled out the thorn in his mouth, and just wanted to stab at the snake's body, when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind and he paused. I said in my heart, 'Hit the snake and hit the seven inches', if it's not a vital part, then come on, this snake is going to wake up in pain, I guess it's for sure.

After such a moment's hesitation, I shrank a lot more boldly, grabbed the military thorn from the new, and carefully climbed towards the tree trunk on the side, trying to find the position of its head along the body of the flower snake. Now the trunk of the tree below him stretched out four or five meters away, and the flower snake coiled on the dense branches and leaves of the trunk. I cautiously climbed to the edge of the tree trunk and gently brushed the leaves above my head to see the snake's head. My head was completely clouded at this glance. I gasped and said to myself, where the fuck is this snake? I saw that the flower snake in the bush was still the position of its body, and its long body extended to the branches and leaves of another uncle, and I said in my heart how long this snake must be? The distance between this tree alone is about ten meters, and if it were a forest snake, it would not be nearly 20 meters long, which made my logical concern collapse suddenly.

I looked closely at this ancient giant snake and found that it was not really a snake. It wouldn't move, there wasn't a sound or tremor around it, and I picked at the not-so-large flower snake skin with my thorns. Only to find out that this snake turned out to be only a pair of snake skin, and this thing that spread to another tree and couldn't really see it, and I don't know the volume, turned out to be just a giant snake, the snake skin that the chrysalis took off!
