Chapter 8: Hell
Half a year has passed since Mo Ran came to settle here, and this is the first time he has made such a big determination to carry out a profound exploration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that everything was on track, he wouldn't allow himself to stay like this.
After preparing enough rations for his "reserve food" and sealing the trap temporarily, Mo Ran carried his self-woven backpack and grabbed his spear and slaughtered towards the center of the island with great vigour.
Of course, he is not so arrogant that he is buried in the wilderness, and it is only right to move forward with the current, which is the source of life, and it is absolutely necessary.
The scenery along the road is varied, after all, the island seems to be deserted so far, there are no signs of human destruction, and it is not surprising that it has been isolated for a long time, even if it is completely the same as the outside world.
But Mo Ran no longer had the leisure to look at the scenery, and there was a roadblock in front of him - a big red snake with the thickness of an adult's arm.
In the midst of the green grass and trees, the color of this snake is so dazzling that it is difficult not to be spotted.
Originally, Mo Ran just wanted to bypass it and continue to move forward, but he never expected this thing to be unrelenting, and crawled in front of Mo Ran, the situation was like a lawless thief blocking the way, so he just shouted: "Oh, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to fight here, and leave to buy road money!"
The leapfrog thinking of roaming the starry sky made Mo Ran want to laugh himself, but he couldn't laugh, looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, he didn't look like a good stubble.
The scarlet forked snake letter swallowed and spit out quickly, although it didn't notice how fast it was just now, but it still couldn't be careless, otherwise it would not be far from death if it was bitten.
Although the name is very elegant - snake kiss.
But this snake kiss is not the other tongue kiss, it is not the same level at all, if you talk about it from the perspective of kissing alone...... Huh~ It's disgusting......
Shook his head, leaving these messy thoughts behind, at this moment, it is still more important to have a small life, no, no matter when a small life is very important.
I don't know if the snake in front of me is curious about Mo Ran, a novel species, or interested in the smell of meat on his body, anyway, he is in contact with him at this time, the goal is very clear, and there is no misunderstanding.
As early as when Mo Ran was at his weakest, a group of jackals had been dealt with, would they still be afraid of this snake? The answer, of course, was no.
The first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers. Although it was a little irrational to act rashly without knowing the speed of this snake, but waiting for it to attack before dealing with it, Mo Ran was afraid that he himself would not have the time to react, and even if he could react, his body movements might not be able to defend in time.
Instead of being afraid of torturing yourself, it is better to take the initiative and take the other party by surprise.
Without the slightest warning, the spear in his hand instantly pierced out.
This blow condensed all of Mo Ran's strength, and his arm even burst out because of this, if it was inserted into the snake's body, even if the stone spear was not sharp, I believe it could be deeply poked into its flesh, and it would not be slaughtered by itself at that time.
It's a pity that Mo Ran's accuracy was too poor, and he just wiped the edge a little, and he didn't really stab it. With his extraordinary skill of smashing stone chips with stones when he first built the stone spear, it would be strange if he hit it directly.
The snake also seemed to be startled by the sudden attack, and its long-standing survival instinct caused it to reflexively lean back, but it also seemed to be a little annoyed by its own avoidance reaction, and it went crazy and pressed back in an instant, ready to take the shame back.
Mo Ran, who had been observing the reaction since he made the move, was scared by the speed of this snake, although he knew in his heart that the speed of this thing must be extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be so perverted, it completely exceeded expectations.
There was no time to retreat, so he could only use the spear in his hand as a knife, and swept the ground with the spear in both hands, just to be able to slightly block the snake's offensive trend.
But he didn't expect to hit the crooked right, and swept the red flower snake to the side, although this time it was not as powerful as the first move, but it hit the snake's head, and the damage was also explosive.
I saw the big red flower snake that had eaten a critical blow lying on the ground rolling and convulsing, completely losing the vigor just now.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, since you have no ability to resist, Mo Ran is naturally not polite, picks up the spear as a stick, and smashes it non-stop, until the snake is completely out of movement, and slumps on the ground panting.
As long as the danger of the enemy is not dead, this is Mo Ran's personal experience, and the scar on his arm is the best proof of this.
Four months ago, Mo Ran made a careless mistake that caused him to almost capsize in the gutter, and now he encounters a snake, which is even more dangerous.
The revenge psychology of snakes flies strongly, if it is not completely solved in the case of obvious hostility now, then it will really be difficult to sleep and eat in the future, and face the retaliation of a snake or even several snakes at any time, who can sleep?
After recovering his strength, he repeatedly confirmed that the snake was dead, and Mo Ran resumed holding the spear with the crooked head and continued on the road.
The quality of the spear is not reliable, after all, it is not professionally made, and it is extremely simple to fix it in a half-crippled state after withstanding fierce battles, and it will have to be strengthened and stabilized again when there is time.
But I don't have much time to do these little things, it's not too early, and I have to find a relatively safe area before dark and wait for the night.
At night, the islands and forests are full of danger, and the roars of beasts and the sound of the sea tide in the distance add to the strange and unspeakable fear in the dark night, but thankfully there is nothing unsightly to disturb.
However, out of vigilance, Mo Ran also failed to sleep well, often dozing for a while to look up to see if there is any danger around, although he is covered with dead branches and leaves, and he can wake up at the first time if he moves a little, in case of accidents, but this is not his own residence after all, and worry and vigilance are inevitable. If he could still sleep in this wilderness, then he would not be far from death.
Walking in the jungle is too difficult, it is almost like a primeval forest, not only to open the way, but also to be prepared for possible dangers. After two days, Mo Ran finally saw the legendary water source.
It's in a small valley, and it's not a good idea to say it's a valley, it's in the middle of two peaks, and it's still a little higher than the rest of the mountain.
It stands to reason that the two mountains should fill the gaps when they grow like this, and there should be no living springs in the terrain here, but this is the case, which has to make Mo Ran sigh at the creativity of nature.
The spring is not large, and the diameter of the surrounding pond is only two or three meters, but it is a steady stream of fresh water, judging from the surrounding moss, the pool has been formed for a long time, and the water level has no obvious signs of decline, so there is no need to worry about the problem of fresh water resources.
And the source of water is not just the same direction from which it came, there is also a branch that spreads along the gap in the mountain to the other end.
Standing at the water's edge and looking down, the shadow of the pool is leisurely, almost bottomless, and the bubbles that rise from time to time are accompanied by the upwelling of the spring water, leaving a series of undercurrent tumbling water lines on the water surface.
Suddenly, Mo Ran seemed to have discovered something most incredible, he had never been too out of shape since he came to the island, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground without realizing it at all.
Just now, he saw the first figure on the island, and it couldn't be said to be a figure, because he could clearly see the smiling expression on that person's face and any details on the surface of his body, but just this would only make Mo Ran startled, and he would never be so shocked.
The most bizarre thing was that he could clearly see from the reflection of the water just now that the person appeared suddenly, and his feet did not touch the ground, as if he was fluttering without the slightest gravity. Even on the tumbling water, his image still does not fluctuate in the slightest.
You must know that people's reflections from the water are a little dim, and they will never be so lifelike, not to mention that on the tumbling uneven water, where is there a reflection that can still remain motionless, and Mo Ran is very sure that the person is definitely not underwater, everything is natural, and it is no different from facing a normal person.
The only difference was that the man was dressed in a strange costume, which seemed to be a very wide robe.
Mo Ran, who was sitting on the ground limply, looked up, and even looked around the whole circle and the sky, but he was stunned and found no trace of anyone else.
Everything around is no different from just now, it can only mean that what I saw just now is too illusory, I carefully moved my body, stretched out my head and looked at the water again, but there was no image just now.
Mo Ran, who finally put his mind at ease, couldn't help patting his little chest, Made, scared the baby to death, and thought that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
It seems that I haven't rested well in the past two days, I'm nervous, and I'm even starting to hallucinate, and I'm going to sleep well for a day after this exploration.
Seeing that there was no more unusual situation around, Mo Ran walked around the pool towards the other end of the water source, this time it was not without harvest, at least it has been determined that there will be no scarcity of water sources, and the food resources on this island are also very sufficient, as long as there is no fault between the water source and food, there is no problem in surviving.
When Mo Ran faced the sea again, it was three days later, and it seemed that the spring was not in the center of the island, but more inclined to the sunny side.
Breathing the salty sea breeze, Mo Ran felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, burying his head in the woods that almost did not see the light of day for five days and five nights, anyone would have a depressed feeling, at this moment, facing the sea in the spring flowers, so uncomfortable.
