The white robe finally moved.

Ryan saw two lights in the darkness, and the light came above the serpent, and something stabbed into the serpent's body, once, twice, three times, and the warm liquid splashed Ryan's face.

The serpent's strength gradually loosened. Ryan lay there gasping for breath, feeling the blood slowly flow back to the numb extremities.

Sandman rekindles the fire and removes the body of the serpent from Ryan's body. "Are you okay?"

"One second too late, I'm going to be crushed." Ryan lay there and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the fire to go out, and I didn't expect there to be snakes."

"How can the fire not be extinguished without anyone taking care of it, of course there may be wild beasts in this cave in the wilderness!"

Sand Man glanced at Ryan, who shut up, to be honest, he wasn't that sure either.

"I think it's more important for us to recover our strength than to take turns keeping vigils," Shaman said. ”

Ryan sat up and said, "You have to regain your strength, and you won't sleep so dead, right?" He couldn't figure out why the hearing-sensitive Sha Man was unaware of the situation just now.

Shaman said, "I'm sleeping. ”

"Sleep? Is it like the hibernation of reptiles? ”

"It's a little bit, when you sleep, your heart beats slower, you feel sluggish, and your body is less consumed."

Ryan raised an eyebrow, "Interesting. ”

Shaman held a bone knife in her hand, which had been stained red with blood, and she had used this to kill the serpent just now. She looked at the snake corpse, showed a satisfied look, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a big one." ”

Sha Man picked up the snake's head and cut it with a bone knife, blood flowed out, Sha Man put his mouth up, took a sip, turned his head and beckoned Ryan: "It's fresh, come quickly." ”

Ryan's eyebrows were twisted.

"Hurry up, open your mouth!"

Sand Man held the snake in such a posture that no one could refuse, and Ryan had to sit down on his knees, take off his mask, and open his mouth upwards. Sandman straightened up on his knees and dripped snake blood into Ryan's mouth.

By the light of the fire, Ryan looked at the sand in front of her, she held the snake aloft, her hair was unkempt, her face was focused, and there was still a trace of scarlet on her lips.

Shaman said: "Snake blood is the best tonic, fresh is even more hard to find, open your mouth wide, don't waste it,—— your teeth are so white." ”

"Well, uh, I don't want it, I don't-I want it!" Ryan barely swallowed a few bites, shook his head and shouted.

"Okay." The sand man took a bite into the cut on the snake's neck.

Ryan covered his mouth and ran out of the cave.

When Ryan returned, Sand Man had a gloomy face and said, "You won't be ...... Spit it out. ”

Ryan rubbed his hands, "Yes, I'm sorry......" Seeing Shaman's expression, he immediately added: "No, I didn't vomit completely!" ”

Sandman threw Ryan a bloody piece of stuff, "Then eat the meat." ”

I saw that the sand man had cut the whole snake open, the internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground, and the bloody gas filled the stone cave, and Ryan covered his mouth and ran out.

After a while, Shaman shouted, "Hey, do you want to invite you before you come in?" ”

"Forget it, it's okay, I'm probably not blessed......" Ryan said outside the cave.

"Come in!"

Ryan had to crawl into the cave little by little. I saw that the blood on the ground had been covered by the dry soil, and the snake meat was neatly worn and placed on the fire, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

"Sit down." Shaman patted a hay-matted area beside him.

The two sat side by side, watching the snake flesh on the fire roll and deform little by little, and the grease dripped into the flames with a snort.

Sharman picked up a string of snake meat, looked at it in front and back, blew it again, and handed it to Ryan, "Eat?" ”

Ryan remembered the serpent's appearance and shook his head in embarrassment. In the Ark, there was very little animal food, and he had never seen the process of going from a fresh life to a meal on a plate.

"I advise you to eat quickly, after eating this meal, I don't know where the next meal is."

Ryan had no choice but to take it. The snake meat looked charred on the outside and tender on the inside, bubbling with aroma, the aroma of burnt fat and protein, the stomach growled, and saliva secreted from the mouth, indicating the desire for the substance, but Lane held the branch, but he still couldn't get out of his mouth. “…… Didn't you bring anything else with you? ”

Shaman gulped down the meat and pulled out two pieces from his arms. "I wanted to keep it."

Ryan saw that it was one of the black, flying worm cakes, so he picked up the bread and ate it in large gulps.

"But I advise you to be prepared, there are only these two." Shaman said.

"Only these two?"

"Food is very limited in the village, and food can be found in the wild, and since we are out, there is no reason to take too much."

"Oh...... So what if we can't find food? ”

"No," Shaman shook the bone knife, his mouth covered with oil, "Of course, today's luck is extraordinarily good." ”

Ryan said, "But I can't eat these."

Sand Man seemed to hear Ryan's thoughts, "So you'd better adapt, if you can't breathe, but you can't even eat, then I can't help you, after all, I can't feed you with worm cakes all the time." ”

Ryan thought for a moment and tried to eat a little snake meat, trying not to think about it as it was.

"Yes, eat a little first and let the body get used to it." Shaman said.

The two of them planned to set off at dawn tomorrow, trying to avoid the time when the sun was shining in direct sunlight.

"Then why did you choose to cross the desert during the day today?" Ryan asked.

"Fool, the desert cannot be crossed at night." "The winds at night, those moving dunes, can make you lose your way in an instant and get buried. ”

"So you'd rather carry me and get out as soon as possible?"

Sand Man nodded.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, thank you."

The sand man suddenly turned his head sharply, Ryan also heard something, and looked over, only to see a small snake crawling from the depths of the cave.

"Hey, there's a little one here!" Sand Man took the bone knife and jumped up, and before Ryan could see the appearance of the little snake, Sand Man had already raised the knife and cut off the head of the little snake.

"Quick, fresh!" Shaman took the little snake and handed it to Ryan, "The blood of the little snake is easier to digest, fast!" ”

Blood flowed down Shaman's wrist, Ryan looked at the still wriggling snake body, forcibly suppressed his discomfort, and waved his hand: "No, I don't, I don't." ”

Shaman sighed and drank to himself. Ryan turned away.

Sand Man picked up a branch, lit a fire, and walked to the depths of the stone cave, which was very narrow, and Sand Man leaned down, climbed in, and suddenly cried, "Ryan, Ryan!" ”

Ryan took the branch and climbed in to look, and saw that in the deepest part of the hole, on a hay, there were several white eggs, and a smaller little snake crawled on the eggs, as if frightened by the firelight, and looked at him helplessly.

"Get out of the way!" The sand man dragged him from behind.

Ryan crawled out, but was stuck at the entrance of the cave.

"Get out of the way!"

"No," Ryan said, "don't kill it. ”

"What did you say?" Shaman held the bone knife, as if he didn't understand.

"I said, don't kill it, we've got enough food, don't we?"

"You don't want to eat eggs?"

"I can skip it."

"What a joke!" Sand Man dragged Ryan to the side.

But Lane sat there, letting Shaman push and pull left and right, stunned and unmoving.

Shaman looked at Ryan, his expression gradually changing.

"In terms of muscle strength, wild people are still worse." Ryan looked at Shaman with a sincere expression.

"What the hell do you want!" This was the first time Ryan had seen Shaman, and he was a little excited.

"Shaman," said Ryan, "this is the home of the serpent, and it lives and nurses its children here, and we break in, kill it, eat it, and not only that, but kill its children, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

Shaman blinked, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Sandman, let them go, if all the snakes are dead, we'll be alone on Earth, won't we?"

Sand Man continued to blink.

Shaman shook his head, as if he was breaking free from Ryan's fallacy, "Ryan, have you ever thought that if I hadn't woken up just now, it would be you who are lying here and being eaten!" ”

Ryan paused, as if pondering this philosophical question, and then, he said, "If that's the case, they'll let you go, right?" When the snake is full, it will no longer eat people, and in the same way, we should no longer eat its children. ”

“……”

"Shaman, you just killed their mother and brother, what's the point of killing such a small one?"

“…… Well, the small ones can not be killed. ”

"Keep the eggs, too."

"Eggs can't be kept."

"In that case, won't this little snake be alone in the future?"

"Ryan...... Let me ask you, if you don't eat snake meat or drink snake blood, what will you eat tomorrow? ”

“…… Didn't you say you'd figure it out? ”

"There is no other way but snake eggs!"

"Then ......" Ryan pondered, as if making a difficult decision, "Okay, I'll take one." ”

"Take one of them." Shaman didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he lowered his head and went into the hole.

Sha Man actually felt that he was being grabbed and his back was lifted straight out.

"Shaman, you can take two eggs, no more."

"Are you crazy, it's useless to keep no big snake eggs!"

"Sand Man, snake eggs are not like eggs, they need hens to hatch, they can."

……

The two argued over this, and ended up with three eggs.
