Chapter 49: The Sea of Snakes

At the end of the mist, a low grove appeared, and the sour trees were in groups of threes and fives, small, thin, light green leaves dotted with small white flowers, which looked no different from the outside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Except for one point.

A thin, long, black-and-white snake with a triangular flat head swam on a sour branch a few feet away, spitting out letters, sizzling! Slowly coiled around a small white flower, surrounded the stamen the size of a grain of rice in the center, and looked at it like a baby.

There are twelve small white flowers on each sour tree, and next to each flower is a thin, long poisonous snake.

This forest stretches on both sides, and there is no end in sight, there are countless sour trees, and there are twelve times more snakes, flowers, green, black, white, gray, flat, round, drum, big, small, all kinds of poisonous snakes swimming, as if all the snakes in the world have gathered here, the scales reflect the light, and converge into a poisonous sea of snakes, countless snakes are swallowing, stretching, sizzling, sizzling, gathering into a dull thunder, like the waves, rolling around, shaking people's faces pale, Weakness in the legs.

Wei Xi's little face was originally white, but at first glance at the sea of snakes, it almost became transparent, and she almost screamed, Huang Sheng covered her mouth and quickly retreated into the mist, feeling that her whole body was trembling.

Wei Xi came to his senses, pulled Huang Shang's hand away, took a few breaths, and said in a low voice, "How can there be so many snakes in the sour wood forest?" ”

"I don't know," Beraud stood at the edge of the mist, observing, and whispered, "I didn't come here, it doesn't seem to be the type of active attack." ”

In the information that Huang Shang has seen, this sour wood forest runs through the front of the entire original forbidden area, nearly 100 meters wide, and there were originally some snakes, but they were very sparse, and they couldn't stop the top masters among the apprentices at all.

In previous years, there was no need for this forest, there was only the primordial tree in it, it was ripe in twelve years, and it was useless to go in, the Great Devil Swamp was the end of the apprentices, and the life fruit here was already the best quality under the original fruit, and the three of them had seen one, tall and erect, with lush branches and leaves, and only two life fruits hung on it.

The three of them were half-hidden in the mist, running to the side, trying to find a gap with fewer snakes, Huang Sheng asked in a low voice, "How long is it until the primordial fruit is ripe?" ”

Beraud took out his pocket watch and looked at it, pondered for a while, and put it away: "As usual, there are about twenty hours, and I don't know now." ”

Running out for more than ten miles, there are the same amount of sour wood everywhere, and the snakes are the same everywhere, dense and dense, sizzling into thunder.

"We can't go on like this, let's try what they're capable of!"

The three of them made a decision, Huang Sheng was the strongest, and he was the best: "I'll come." ”

"I'll do it!" Wei Xi stepped out, Huang Sheng grabbed it, and said softly: "Although your sword is very accurate, it is not fast enough. ”

After saying that, he stepped forward slowly, pulled out an arrow from his back with his backhand, held a shield in his left hand, and his mind was highly condensed, and he walked step by step to a foot away from the sour wood forest.

Vesy clenched his fists, his heart pounding.

The sea of snakes was still swimming around on its own, as if it hadn't seen anyone approaching.

Huang Shang stood still, his feet were one in front of the other, slightly apart, making the most suitable posture for exerting force, his eyes were like electricity, and he swept the sea of sour wood snakes inch by inch, and suddenly saw a white flower in the depths of Xie Weixie, with a fruit the size of a red bean, showing a dull light red, mixed in the green leaf flower snake, very inconspicuous.

After counting, Huang Sheng found that there were only eleven snakes on this sour wood.

There is not the adzuki bean fruit nearby.

With a move in his heart, his hand did not stop, and the right hand holding the wooden sword threw it hard, and the feather arrow swished into the sea of leaves, alarming the snakes, swimming around, raising their heads, sizzling, but they didn't seem to find the target.

Huang Shang continued to walk forward, getting closer and closer to the group of snakes, nine feet, eight feet, seven feet......

Three feet!

Rumble!

As if touching a sensitive nerve, groups of snakes turned their heads of all shapes to Huangshang, and in the next moment, they shot out violently from the sour wood where they lived, exploding, converging into a big wave like a spring tide in Qiantang, rushing madly.

In the blink of an eye, the snake tide is approaching, dense, and the black pressure has been pressed into a wall, afraid that there are thousands of them?

Huang Shang gasped, and in an instant, he retreated violently, and his star luck was like lightning, and he stepped on seven deep footprints on the ground, one step faster than the snake tide, and retreated into the mist.

The serpent tide rushed close to the mist, as if it was hindered by something, and could not enter, and swam around for a while, and then crawled back to the sour woods, and became lazy.

The three of them walked out of the fog, wiped a cold sweat, and Bolaud said: "There are too many snakes, I'm afraid that the knights who condense the shield will not be able to pass, only those who condense the armor." ”

The shield has a small protective range, high strength, and more elaborate armor, but the relative strength is weaker, and even if there is one, it cannot bring others over.

"I'm afraid that the vast majority of apprentices will be stopped by this sea of snakes." Even though Beraud was steady by nature, he couldn't help but sigh at this moment, "How can this be? ”

The mark on his chest moved again: "I feel it, the delicious food is in the back, it's almost ripe......"

"Does untimely death mean the fruit of primordial life?" Huang Shang's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that the change in the Garden of Eden seemed to be inseparable from the young death, shook his head, wrote it down for the time being, and said: "I just saw a bean-sized fruit, and there are no snakes around it. There is a saying in China that where poisonous snakes are infested, there must be an antidote within ten steps. I wondered, could there be something special about that fruit? ”

Beraud raised his head, his eyes shining: "How far from the edge?" ”

"Thirty feet or so. Vissy, are you successful? ”

"I'm going to take a look."

Huang Shang was holding the bow behind him, walked seven feet away, looked closely at Huang Shang's fingers, and sure enough, he saw the small dark red fruit on a sour wood about thirty feet away from the edge, raised his bow and arrow and aimed at it, walked away a little, and made a gesture, Beraud stood opposite, the two took the fruit as the center line, stood at a corresponding angle, and Huang Shang stood on the side of Wei Xi, raising a shield to prevent the snakes from rushing up.

The arrow had to graze the underside of the red bean fruit, breaking the knot, and at the same time giving the fruit a lateral impulse that would make it fly to Beraud on the opposite side, rather than falling to the ground, and not to fly deeper into the sour wood.

This difficulty is like expanding the surface area of a billiard ball tenfold, and then shrinking the ball tenfold, and with one shot, you have to graze the edge of the black ball with extreme precision, giving it a precise lateral force to hit it into the farthest bottom chamber.

Wei Xi's face was quiet and clear, the whole figure was glowing with a faint light, his left arm was naturally stretched, holding the blue-gray longbow made by Shermost, and the three slender spring fingers in his right hand pulled the string, and the arrow blade shone with a faint metallic cold light, moving minute by minute.

Finally stopped.

Viche held her breath and let go of her hand.
