Chapter Ninety-Five: The Pursuit from the Great Serpent
"The environment here seems to be a little more complicated!" Xiao Zheng picked off the vines in front of him and removed the rotten wood, but there were still dark brown rotten leaves on the ground, and the three girls behind him couldn't help frowning
"After all, in the depths, there are fewer students coming here, so it's understandable that this will be the case!" Shangguan Wan'er, who followed Xiao Zheng, was quite calm, in such an environment, Shangguan Wan'er didn't feel much discomfort, but this ground made it difficult for Shangguan Wan'er to settle down
"I don't know when it's a head, it's so hard to walk!" Han Ling'er said with some complaints
"This jungle seems to be infested with few fierce beasts, we have to be more careful, don't let your guard down!" Bing'er was in the last position, and together with Xiao Zheng, she protected the second daughter in the middle
"How do I feel like it's like a snake crawling track!" Xiao Zheng looked at the long trace in front of him and guessed, but such a thick trace, how can it be too much, it is a bit different
"Uh, it can't be!" Shangguan Wan'er took a few steps forward, and said in amazement, it's not that Shangguan Wan'er has never seen a snake thicker than this, but it's a little too old to appear in the academy, which is something that people can deal with, it's impossible at all, even if it's Xiao Zheng, he can only escape
"But this looks like a snake trace!" Han Ling'er took a closer look, the trace was in the shape of an "S", except for the snake, there was really no other explanation, why should you doubt it? Han Ling'er looked at Shangguan Wan'er and Xiao Zheng with some puzzlement
"Ling'er is right, only snakes have left such traces!" Bing'er's face was a little dignified, of course, this would only appear on Bing'er and Xiao Zheng's faces, and even the flow of blood was a little faster, but Shangguan Wan'er and Han Ling'er didn't have so much psychological burden
"Looks like we've got to be careful, it's a *** annoyance!" Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, a little headache, such a behemoth is not something that everyone can provoke at all, I just hope to avoid it smoothly
"Let's get around here and try to find places that haven't been crawled on!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, pointed to both sides, and proposed, indeed, now there is only one choice of both sides, because she and the others seem to be on that trace
"Hiss~" A sharp voice sounded, and the four of them changed color together, and hurriedly dodged into the bushes on the left, covering Shangguan Wan'er and Han Ling'er's mouths at the same time, for fear of making any noise
"Bang!" A behemoth suddenly crawled out, raised the snake's head high, and violently knocked down countless leaves from a big tree with a diameter of more than ten meters beside him, and Xiao Zheng and the others were also shocked to look at the giant snake with two sarcomas on its head, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and the sum of himself and the others was probably only as big as its four fangs! Especially the two sarcomas on the head, the three girls didn't know, but Xiao Zheng was very familiar, this seems to be the trend of growing horns, is it going to turn into a jiao
"Hurt?" Xiao Zheng and Bing'er glanced at each other, this giant snake actually had an extremely long opening in its abdomen, and dark red blood flowed out, emitting bursts of fishy smell, which made people feel sick, but the bigger shock to the four people was not the rare fishy smell, but the wound that was nearly ten meters long, this snake did not seem to be the strongest! Thinking of that ice sculpture, Xiao Zheng felt more and more how small the human race was in front of the beast
"Hiss~" The big snake kept roaring, looking extremely violent, and the wound was slowly recovering, at the speed visible to Xiao Zheng and others, it gradually healed, and the sound of the bush being broken sounded, and the big snake disappeared in front of the eyes of the four people at a very fast speed, and the four of them finally gave a breath
"Let's go!" The four of them took a break and continued to move forward, the decision to target the riverside would not change, but the action plan and hunting plan of the four people would have to change a lot, not only the strength of the beast was beyond the expectations of the four people, but also the itinerary would have greatly increased because of this, if it weren't for the extension of Bing'er's sleep, Xiao Zheng probably didn't know what to do in a hurry
The four of them followed the traces of the big snake's movement, hiding in the bushes, although they walked in the direction of the big snake, but the plan of the four of them was not wrong, this place is obviously the territory of this big snake, and it is not allowed to be approached by any fierce beast, even a small snake, although there are many terrifying poisonous insects, but these poisonous insects retreated one by one after feeling the deworming powder configured by Han Ling'er, and the four of them had a thrilling time all the way, and finally arrived at the entrance of the big snake's cave
The entrance of the big snake is a small dirt mountain, and there are seven or eight exits, but this is only half, the four of them carefully stayed away from this small dirt mountain, and then went around to the back, sure enough, there are still several holes behind this small earth mountain, this small earth mountain may be because of the big snake, the surroundings are even quieter, and the dim jungle is slightly weird
The four of them cautiously continued to move forward, for fear of disturbing the big snake, and continued to follow the traces of the snake crawling, the further forward, the denser those traces became, obviously the big snake is also often close to the depths of the place, after all, the other side is the labyrinth, with the wisdom of the big snake, it will not step into half a step
"Be careful!" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly grabbed Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng had almost touched the thin silk thread, Xiao Zheng originally thought that the silk thread was something, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any clues, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this thread?" Xiao Zheng looked at the inexplicable silk thread in front of him, this seems to be left by a small creature such as a spider, Xiao Zheng has broken many roots before
"Question, didn't you notice that this thread is different from spider silk?" Shangguan Wan'er pointed to a small droplet of water on it, and said solemnly
"What's wrong with that?" Han Ling'er and Bing'er also stepped forward and asked a little strangely
"This is the silk thread spit out by the big snake, in fact, it is its venom, it can't help but be highly poisonous, and it is connected to its nest, once there is any abnormal movement, the big snake can feel it in the nest, so we must not break it!" Shangguan Wan'er explained solemnly: "And we haven't found anything after walking for so long, which means that there must be something important here, so we should be more careful so as not to be discovered by it!"
"Is that so?!" Xiao Zheng looked at this inconspicuous silk thread with some shock, he never imagined that such a small silk thread was spit out by the big snake, which was unbelievable
"Wan'er, you're so amazing, it seems that I should really study hard when I go back!" Bing'er said sincerely, no matter when, illiteracy is a terrible population, to a certain extent, in some sense, it is a pig-like teammate, in short, isn't there much knowledge
"Huh!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled "modestly" and said: "Look below, that snake is highly poisonous, in addition to the small poison beads on it, there will be such an open space under the snake silk line, this is because its venom is too strong!"
"So, there's something good here!" Xiao Zheng thought about it and touched his chin and said
"yes!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded, then looked at Xiao Zheng in disbelief, and said, "No, do you want to steal it?" That's almost impossible, not to mention that it's not sure where it is buried, even if you know, the silk threads there are extremely dense, and you can't easily get in at all, once you are discovered, everyone will have to die!"
"Uh, too!" Xiao Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then let's go first, and we'll come back when it stabilizes later, anyway, there is time!"
Xiao Zheng looked at the open space not far away, and looked intently, countless silk threads were densely covered, like a cage, which was beyond people's reach, but there was still a way after all, isn't it! Xiao Zheng's mouth showed a slight smile, but time was relatively tight, so it was better to continue moving forward first
Although the four of them are heading towards the depths of Area 7, it can also be said that they are heading towards the edge of the central island, in any case, the road is long and dangerous, and the most important thing is that the environment is bad, the lush trees almost block out a huge part of the sun, and occasionally revealing a trace of sunlight is only a moment, and the corroded dead leaves on the ground make people faintly disgusting, the smell of decay is dense, and it is accompanied by a thick dampness, this kind of environment, it is already a great luck for everyone to be able to avoid miasma and other things
"This giant snake's territory is a little too big!" Looking at the thin silk thread in front of him, Han Ling'er couldn't help but complain a little, Han Ling'er didn't believe it when Xiao Zheng said that he had found a silk thread, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he had to believe it, after all, everyone had been walking for a long time, and they hadn't found this silk thread for a long time, and now they encountered it again, it was really a little painful, because it meant that the four of them had to continue to be nervous, after all, there was a huge giant snake in the rear that threatened the safety of the four people
"Don't worry, maybe this is the last one, maybe this is a way for the giant snake to declare the scope of its territory!" Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while and said, "If we haven't appeared for so long, it means that we have walked out of the place where the giant snake hides treasure, and there is only one possibility for it to appear here, that is, to the edge of the giant snake's territory!"
"Wan'er has a point!" Bing'er nodded, looked around vigilantly and said, "Husband, let's go over first!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zheng nodded, bowed down, crossed the silk thread, turned his head after passing, and answered Shangguan Wan'er and Han Ling'er behind him, but when he answered Han Ling'er, there was finally a problem
"Zizi!" The clothes on Han Linger's back were suddenly corroded by the silk thread, revealing a smooth jade back, and the silk thread was also broken because of this
"Shhhh Bang!" A moment later, a piercing roar suddenly sounded, followed by a crash
"Run!" The four of them changed color, Xiao Zheng hurriedly pulled Bing'er over and ran forward, Xiao Zheng pulled Shangguan Wan'er, and Bing'er pulled Han Ling'er to run forward at a very fast speed, but even so, the four of them were still chased by the big snake!
