Chapter 196: Vitality

This hit made my eyes flutter, but fortunately there were no protruding branches on this trunk, and this inertia would have to be blind if I poked my eyes.

I clung to the trunk of the tree dizzily, not daring to make any movement until my head cleared. At this moment, Buazon's anxious shouts were heard in his ears. I reluctantly turned my head to see that the Laotian man in the tree opposite me was waving a glow stick at me, as if he was flustered.

At this time, Buazon lit up the one-eyed beast, and the flashlight shone on the trunk of the tree opposite. It turned out that several crimson snakes had crawled to a place about two meters away from the Laotians.

I clung to the trunk with one hand and threw the rope desperately at the Laotians with the other. Fortunately, the Laotian grabbed the rope in time and jumped over at once. It was really dangerous, and the moment the Laotian jumped away from the branch, several crimson snakes pounced on the Laotian's position.

I had just breathed a sigh of relief when I suddenly saw several crimson snakes perched in the treetops flying towards our tree. I was so frightened by the snakes' actions that I almost let go, tilted my head, and stared at the snakes flying over.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the crimson snake flew in mid-air like a demon. It was so close that even in the dim light of the glowstick, I could clearly see the terrifying glow of its almost transparent fangs.

My body was so stiff that I couldn't make any movements, and at the same time I felt that any movement was superfluous, and I didn't even have the courage to continue looking. When I was blocked by this group of crimson snakes in the tree, I expected a miserable end, but when disaster struck, I still couldn't suppress the feeling of palpitations. I couldn't help but reach for the gun, but suddenly remembered that the bullet in the gun was out and unloaded, and the hand that was stretched into my arms couldn't help but stop, and despair welled up in my eyes and heart at the same time.

Like a tragicomedy, the crimson snake flew less than half the distance, but suddenly fell down weakly, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye. The aftermath of the catastrophe gave me strength, and the pain of my head hitting the tree was completely forgotten, and I quickly climbed up to the height of Buazon. He was riding on a tree branch to untie a rope.

Buazon also saw the snakes catapulting at us, but he was not nervous, as if he knew that the snakes would not be able to fly. The other Laotian wasn't too nervous either, as he was crawling towards a branch higher up. At this moment, the snake on the opposite tree was frantically leaping towards our tree.

At this moment, I could see how they jumped, first coiled up, and then bounced forward. However, the elasticity they produce is too small, and their body size is too short to jump over, and they all fall into the dark water. The closest distance between the two trees was six or seven meters, and this distance was like a moat compared to a small snake less than a foot long.

But the snakes were so desperate to pounce on us, and the way they attacked us was almost suicidal. If they were first attacked on that small piece of dry land because we had intruded into their territory, now that we are all swept here by floods, and they are still attacking us so desperately, this difference in behavior beyond species is incomprehensible to me.

But there was no need to understand, and I didn't have time to understand, and when I looked down with the cyclops, I noticed that the crimson snake in the lower half of the trunk of the tree was starting to move. Perhaps it was we who jumped over and caused a vibration that stimulated the snakes entrenched in the lower half of the trunk and caused them to quickly climb upwards. Moreover, the trunk of this broad-leaved tree is forked a lot, and there are many vines and parasitic plants entwined in the trunk and branches, which makes the crimson snake crawl very fast.

I glanced up at the Laotian, who had already chosen a branch to use as a springboard and was climbing towards the top of the branch. It seems that they have already noticed the movement of the snake group below, or they have long expected this outcome, and just jumped over and started looking for the next target.

This time I was clearly lagging behind, and when I climbed to the branch, a Laotian had already jumped onto the adjacent tree, and Bu Asong did not wait for me, and as soon as I climbed to the branch, I saw him jump over as well. I took the rope that Buazon had thrown and swung to another tree.

This time I had experience, and when I swung over, I stretched out my feet first, and although I still couldn't see the other side clearly, I stretched my feet forward to avoid the tragedy of hitting my head against the tree first. In this way, I was able to bite the cyclops with my mouth, because I found that the two Laotians did not intend to stop the Tarzan of the Apes style of escape, and seemed to continue forever. They jumped onto the tree and immediately began to look for a target for their next jump.

Fortunately, the rain is much lighter and we are able to look up and see what is going on. The forest is so dense that the distance between two adjacent trees is not more than ten meters, and of course I mean the closest distance between the branches of two adjacent trees. In this way, it is possible for us to get rid of this group of poisonous snakes by constantly jumping forward. As long as they can't follow our butts all the time, and can't lock us in by temperature and smell, they're going to lose their target.

We have to keep looking for two trees that are relatively close to each other, and we have to find a place where we can easily jump over, so we have to keep moving up or down. I had to climb desperately on the branches to keep up with the rhythm of the two Laotians. This kind of high-intensity exercise soon caused the pain in my back to torment my nerves again.

It's hard to pinpoint the exact direction of this tree-to-tree jump, and the first thing we focus on is whether we can jump onto another tree. However, I noticed that our general direction is the same, that is, the direction of the current. The direction was chosen by the Laotians, I had little to say, and being able to keep up with them had already made me do my best.

As we went deeper, I noticed that the forest was getting denser and denser, and the distance between the two trees was getting closer, and in some places the distance between the branches of the two adjacent trees had been reduced to two or three meters. I felt the need to warn the Laotians that at such a short distance, it was possible for those snakes to jump over and fall into a desperate situation. But at this moment, the two Laotians seemed to be in a state of excitement, jumping nimbly between the branches of the trees, and my shouting had no effect on them.

In this way, I had to keep an eye on the snakes behind me at all times, because I was always running at the rear, and if I was caught up by these damn snakes, I would undoubtedly be the first victim. Fortunately, our speed is fast enough, of course, the main reason is that the two Laotians are fast, I am forced, and if I can't keep up, I may be thrown off. At least there were no snakes behind him, but there were still in the water, but not as dense as before.

Luckily, what I feared didn't happen. And we seem to be coming to life.
