298 Day 1 III

readx;? Seeing that it was about to fall at night, everyone did not dare to walk in the dense forest at night, so they decided to spend the night under this big tree with a triangular pattern. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info made a decision, everyone divided the work and went to work, Ian and Dennis explored the surrounding environment, and the law enforcement team Quintina and Aris went to collect firewood, and later Aris volunteered to take over Quintina's work, let Quintina rest, and accompany Nicole to make a fire and cook.

Ian thinks it's nice to have someone like Aris on the team, but Dennis doesn't like him because of his status as a law enforcement team.

"Nicole's father's team six years ago also spent the night here. After leaving the group, Dennis and Ian said, "That symbol means that a team has camped here, which means that the team from six years ago traveled the same distance as us on the first day." ”

"Also, we're on the same page as them. Ian shrugged, "If we had been in the right direction, we might have seen the mark they left six years ago every night." ”

"That's right. Dennis nodded, "But there's a catch. ”

"The team from six years ago is lost. Ian whispered, "They circled around the forest for about ten days, and then they came back to square one. ”

"It took 10 days to go back to the original point, which shows that they have spared a big circle, and we must find a way to avoid following their old path. Did Nicole's father say how they ended up getting out of the circle?"

"Yes, but it's almost the same as not saying it, the note says that a merchant noticed something was wrong and changed direction before walking out of the jungle, but he didn't say which direction. ”

"So we're going to have to figure it out for ourselves. ”

As the two spoke, they suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. After glancing at each other, they tacitly walked in the direction where the sound of running water came, and soon, after passing through several large trees, they saw a small stream. This is a real stream, not a puddle that I walked in before, the water is crystal clear, and you can still see the fish swimming in the water.

"It's weird. Ian wondered, "This place is not far from the place just now, why didn't they choose to camp here?"

Dennis shook his head: "It's unlikely, that team is nearly thirty people, and there will definitely be at least ten people to explore the surrounding environment before camping, there is no reason why this place can't be discovered." As you said, this is a better place to camp than there because there is a water source. ”

"Let's see if they have left any marks, and what are the symbols that symbolize danger?"

"A fork. ”

Ian nodded, and was about to look around to see if there were any marks left six years ago, but he was a little thirsty because of the day's walking, and was about to drink some water first. When he reached for the kettle, he thought that there was not a ready-made stream in front of him, and what was the purpose of wasting the water in the kettle, so he walked to the side of the creek and leaned down to wash his face first.

The cold stream water sprinkled on Ian's face, making Ian, who had been stuffy for a day, feel refreshed. So he buried his head directly in the stream and drank the cold stream water in a big gulp. He opened his eyes in the water and saw the fish spitting bubbles in the water, and thought that this dense forest did not seem to be as terrible as the legend said.

It's just that the stone next to the swimming fish looks a little strange, why is it so long

"Ian!" Dennis's anxious voice suddenly came into Ian's ears from the shore, sounding a little vague, "Hurry up!"

Ian didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly saw that the stone in front of him was squirming violently, and he instantly thought of something and quickly raised his head. The next moment, he saw a bloody mouth biting towards him, and in an instant, he came to Ian, and Ian didn't have time to react.

"Poof. ”

That bloody mouth didn't have a chance to bite Ian's head off after all. Dennis drew his sword just in time, piercing through the bloody owner, a large brown python. Dennis's sword pierced the python seven inches and slammed it into the stream.

The crystal clear water of the stream was slowly stained red by the blood of the python.

Ian sat on the shore in shock, the python's bloody mouth was deeply imprinted in Ian's heart just now, he didn't expect it to be able to hide in the stream, if you don't look closely, you think it's a stone or a long log.

Ian watched the python struggle to die in the water, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time. Almost, just a little, if Dennis had been a little slower, his head would have been gone. You must know that the Dragon Emperor Mussolini failed to kill him, the Dragon King Naga failed to kill him, and the Nartimis failed to kill him, but he was almost killed by a python.

"It's too careless. Dennis whispered, and slowly drew his sword, but the anaconda corpse was too heavy to float.

"yes. Ian subconsciously brushed his hair and found that his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, "I was too careless." ”

"It's not just you, I haven't noticed either. "Natural camouflage may not be detected by anyone who is not extremely knowledgeable about the jungle." ”

"So here, we're still newbies. Ian said softly, "That's why Lord Lord asked us to bring Colby." ”

"Chances are, it's too dangerous here, and it's no wonder that half of the last team, so many old hunters, were dead before they met Nathan, the Wind King. ”

"Seriously. Ian looked at the python's massive body, "I hate snakes. ”

Snakes are a species that may not be the most destructive, but they are definitely one of the most threatening species for hunters. They tend to hide in the darkest corners and are more like hunters than hunters, delivering a fatal blow to species stronger than them with their deadly fangs and venom.

This is true of almost all snakes, including pythons, and no snake will swagger and pulsate with its opponent. Ian suddenly thought of the snake he had seen in the snowy mountains, its body was as large as a small hill, and it was also quietly hiding itself, giving its prey a fatal blow. From that time on, snakes had left a shadow on Ian's mind, including the king snake beneath Epilon.

And now, they are in the jungle, which is a paradise for all kinds of snakes.

"Let's get back to camp. Dennis washed the snake blood off the sword and retracted the scabbard, "Let the night watchmen pay attention tonight, be sure to apply anti-snake grass, tonight is the first night of the first night." ”

"I'll keep watch for the rest of the night. Ian slowly got up.

Dennis nodded, and the two left. Before leaving, Ian glanced back at the body of the python, and a faint uneasiness crossed his heart.
