Chapter 183: Encounter with the Winged Serpent

Wu Xiaowen's words are really a bit confusing. But since he said so, then we have to be careful.

I asked everyone to take a rest first, let their strength recover, and then came to a high slope with Fu Ying and Heng Qi, looking at the situation ahead. I saw that the primeval forest in front of me was like a green ocean, with no end in sight. And in places that are almost out of reach, you can vaguely see the snow-capped peaks. The primeval forest in front of you is estimated to be more than 100,000 acres, the length is not far from the limit, and the width is up to 120 kilometers, and it takes at least two or three hours to reach the bottom of the snow-capped mountains through the forest.

And that's just a conservative estimate. Since we don't know the terrain in the forest right now, if the road in the forest is gradually rising with the terrain, then we will travel more slowly. Because the rise of the terrain means the climbing. Naturally, the speed of climbing is much slower than walking on a flat road. Besides, there is no road in the forest, and we have to cut down the vines and trees that stand in our way to make a path.

This is only a natural difficulty, and it is not impossible to overcome. The most worrying thing is, what is that "moaning in the dark"? Or who is moaning in the dark?

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and I estimate that we can reach the bottom of the snowy mountain at four o'clock, and then camp there. Heng Qi looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said in high spirits.

I shook my head and said, "Your estimate is a bit too optimistic, I guess we may not be able to get out of this primeval forest after dark." Alas, we should have hired a local guide. ”

"Wouldn't we? We won't be able to get out of this primeval forest for two hours? This forest looks big, but it can't be too big, right? After all, this is an island, not a continent!" exclaimed Heng Qi in surprise.

"Brother Yang's concern is not unreasonable, but given the secrecy of our mission, we can't ask locals to be guides. I think that as long as we act cautiously and plan carefully, we should not have a problem completing this mission. Fu Ying cheered me up.

I nodded and agreed with Fu Ying's opinion: "Yingying is right, since we have come here, there is no reason to retreat! Okay, let's head to the foot of the snow-capped mountain now!"

With a little preparation, we began the process of crossing the primeval forest. Heng Qi and I were holding a machete to clear the way in front, and Fu Ying followed closely by my side, correcting the direction for me. Behind us were three panting girls: Yang Liu, Jiang Rulan and Liu Ting. The monkey Xie Ke took care of the three girls in the middle. As for Huang Ranran and Chen Han traitors, they assumed the role of the queen of the palace.

The terrain in the forest was indeed uneven, and in some places there was no road at all, except to cut a path through the bonds of vines and miscellaneous trees. And, as I suspected, the roads in the forest gradually rose with the terrain. This naturally makes the journey even more difficult. And that's not all, the most frustrating thing is that, like all forests, visibility in this forest is also very low, and walking under those towering trees is like walking into dusk. Only a small fraction of the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves to the ground. It is not too much to describe a place where the sun does not shine as pitch black.

The forest is naturally filled with all kinds of strange and even eerie sounds. The cries of ordinary animals and birds are enough to make people's hearts palpitate, and what is even worse is that from time to time there will be one or two strange and terrifying cries in these natural sounds, and I don't know what birds and beasts make them, there is a kind of throbbing that shocks people's hearts, and people with poor concentration are estimated to be scared out of their souls!

"This forest must be full of normal animals, right?" Heng Qi said, cutting off a small tree in his way, looking at me.

I nodded and said, "It's all normal, right?" Actually, I'm not sure if all the animals in this forest are normal? The so-called mutated ones are naturally the kind of animals that have been invaded by some evil and become aggressive. We've had a lot of that kind of animal three years ago.

However, in such a deep mountain and old forest, even if it is not a mutated animal, a jackal or leopard is enough for us to drink a pot, not to mention those lions and tigers. Moreover, even if a poisonous snake appears in our path, it will become an insurmountable obstacle for us!

"Snake!" I had just thought of the snake when a girl's frightened cry came from behind.

"Don't think of four-legged snakes, lizards, or anything like snakes, they're not snakes!" Heng rebuked sternly without understanding the back.

"No, it's a snake!" Fu Ying suddenly interrupted Heng Qi's reprimand vigilantly, and then walked quickly to the back.

"Where is the snake?" Fu Ying said calmly as she looked at the three girls behind her.

"There......" Liu Ting trembled and pointed to a big tree next to her.

Our eyes were drawn to the fact that there was a large serpent with the thick mouth of a teacup hanging from the branches of the big tree, and the snake was covered with a layer of multicolored scales, each of which was as thick as a man's fingernail, and looked like it was wearing a layer of armor. I can't tell whether the snake's head is triangular or round? To be exact, it looks more like a bucket used to measure rice in the countryside in ancient China! Of course, its head is not as big as a bucket, but just like a bucket. You must know that ten "liters" can hold the next "bucket". One liter is equal to two catties, and one bucket is twenty catties! Obviously, the head of this snake is not twenty catties -- the weight of its whole body is estimated to be no more than twenty catties!

"What kind of snake is this?" I asked, surprised. To be honest, I've never seen this snake before. I even suspect that it is not a species on earth!

"This is a multicolored winged snake, not a normal snake on Earth, they live deep underground, and it is impossible to see it normally. However, I once saw them in an ancient tomb, when they were used as tomb beasts against tomb robbers. Fu Ying said with a solemn expression.

"Is it a 'strange snake' of 'there are strange snakes in the wild of Yongzhou?'" Heng Qi asked in confusion.

"It's not a strange snake, it's a winged snake!" Fu Ying made a flying motion.

"What? this snake can fly?" everyone gasped.

"This snake did fly, because I didn't feel its presence just now! If it had been here in the morning, then I would have been able to feel it!" Fu Ying stared at the snake path.

I believe that what Fu Ying said is true, because we have already seen her skills in the expedition to Coffin Creek, and we know that she is a family of snake catchers! But how can there be flying snakes in this world?

"Is it poisonous?" Xie Ke said as he looked at the snake. The snake was just hanging there, a long crimson letter curling around outside its mouth, as if it was exploring its target, so it hadn't taken its next move yet. But even if it just hung there, it was enough to make people feel terrified.

"It's poisonous, but it's not very toxic. Fu Ying replied.

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of. Heng Qi, Xie Ke, Huang Ranran, Chen Traitor and others all breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Ran ran even jumped to try to catch the snake.

"But it's a demon snake! The inside of its body is like a chemical container, which can produce a chemical reaction with the substances stored in its body, and use it to attack humans or other creatures! Specifically, it will spray a kind of poisonous fire, and people or other animals sprayed by its poisonous fire will not only be burned to death, but also poisoned to death!" Fu Ying's tone carried a coldness.

"How did this thing end up here? Could it be that there is an ancient tomb around here?" Heng Qi frowned.

And Huang Ranran, who was eager to catch the snake, was like a chicken in a daze, frozen in the place where he stood.

"Tingting, how did you find it?" Jiang Rulan suddenly asked Liu Ting.

"I was walking when I heard a 'click' next to me, and I turned my head to see it, and I saw it, so I screamed out in fright. Liu Ting replied.

At this moment, all the people stood in their respective positions and did not dare to move, for fear of alarming the snake.

We came here this time without any weapons, except for a snake stick (which was actually used to beat grass and scare ordinary snakes away, not to deal with the snake in front of us), and the machetes in the hands of Heng Qi and me, which we had bought improvised at the market in the city of Princeijuan.

Should we use our machetes to cut the snake at this point? But I guess that's not realistic. Because it's a real question of whether we'll be able to cut it or not.

Time passed minute by minute, but we still didn't dare to act rashly, and we didn't know how long this stalemate would last?

I don't know who suddenly let out a huge fart, and then came behind again. The sound of a fart immediately shattered the silence. The snake immediately moved, and we saw only a multicolored shadow rising from the tree, like an arrow shooting at the place where the fart sound was heard.

The fart is naturally one of Huang Ran Ran and Chen Han traitor. As soon as these two people saw the colorful shadow rushing over, they suddenly cried wolf: "The snake is coming, run......

"You two get out of the way!" Fu Ying's shouts also sounded at the same time, and her figure swept past almost at the same time.

"The monkey protects the three girls, Heng Qi and I will come and see!" I also screamed, grabbed the machete in my hand and jumped over.
