Chapter 123 'The Snake Catcher'
After hearing the fat man's words, Wang Yuanchao immediately threw the snake in his hand.
He was breathing heavily, as if he had spent a lot of energy just now.
"What kind of snake is this? Why is it so powerful? When it wrapped around my arm just now, it was at least fifty kilograms strong. I almost couldn't hold it."
Wang Yuanchao said with lingering fear.
The strength of fifty pounds is already very terrifying for such a small snake! Moreover, they carry deadly venom. The combination of the two makes even the most ferocious lions and tigers dare not approach.
"Fat man, does this Black Mamba have any weaknesses?"
I quickly turned around and asked the fat man, there were snakes everywhere in the white mist, and it would be very dangerous if we really caught up with them.
"Don't worry, this kind of snake is not a pure black mamba, but a hybrid venomous snake cultivated in Miao territory, called the skeleton black mamba. The skeleton black mamba is short in size and has a docile temperament. After the young snake is born, it opens its eyes
The first thing they see will become the one they protect throughout their lives. As long as we don't touch the things they protect, they will not attack us."
The fat man's expression relaxed a lot, and he thought for a while before continuing.
"This kind of skeletal black mamba was once cultivated on a large scale during the Warring States Period and used as a 'guardian' for tombs. However, it has become extinct since the Tang Dynasty. Because the imperial doctor at that time discovered this snake and dried it
Making a medicine introduction can cure the emperor's rheumatism, so he called on the people all over the world to catch snakes to offset taxes. It's funny to say that in order not to pay heavy taxes, many people risked their lives to hunt the skeleton black mamba, but instead made this most venomous snake in the world
The species is extinct. Have you read Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher"? It talks about this kind of snake."
"I just didn't expect that there's a whole damn nest hidden here!" the fat man said.
Only then did I understand why we were all fine when we fell into a pile of venomous snakes. Only the fat man was slightly injured. It turns out that these snakes do not actively attack people.
"But you have to be careful next! Because we don't know what these skeleton black mambas are guarding. It may be a stone or a piece of shit. If you accidentally touch it, all the skeletons here will
The Black Mamba will attack us fearlessly, and it will be spectacular..."
The fat man rarely showed a trace of panic.
"Ding Dong, what should we do next? Should we sit here and wait for the fog to clear before we go on our way?" the fat man asked.
"How do I know? First, check if there are any solid gasoline torches in the package and light up the surrounding area." I frowned and said.
Now that the threat of those poisonous snakes is removed, all that is left is the fog. If the problem of these fogs can be solved, our chances of survival will undoubtedly increase a lot.
"No, I just looked at it. I guess there is only one torch in each package."
Wang Yuanchao shook his head.
"Zhang Sanpao."
I called Zhang Sanpao's name loudly, but I didn't get any response.
"Is this guy not around?"
I frowned and said with some confusion.
At this moment, I became anxious. Zhang Sanpao obviously knew this place very well. Since he was not here, it meant that he was continuing to walk along Chencang Road instead of staying where he was.
I couldn't make up my mind either, so I briefly told Fatty and Wang Yuanchao what had happened before.
Wang Yuanchao hesitated for a moment before saying: "Let's wait and see! Maybe Sanpao is near us, but he just doesn't want to come out."
"That's not right. If that's the case, then Ma Rulong and the others should take the initiative to find us now. Even if they can't see anyone, our voices have revealed their direction. Could it be that they didn't listen to you and continued to retreat?
"
The look on the fat man's face suddenly became a little bad.
My heart skipped a beat. Is my guess wrong? If Ma Rulong and Zhang Sanpao are not here, there is only one reason: this is the wrong road.
"Forget it, don't even guess. Since we have arrived at these statues, there is no turning back. Let's wait and see if the white mist will dissipate."
I sighed and said, now there is only one way to go until dark.
Almost an hour passed, but the mist outside the torch showed no sign of dissipating, and instead became increasingly dense.
"If this continues, even if the torches burn out, the fog will probably not dissipate." Wang Yuanchao said in frustration.
"Go forward, be careful!"
I gritted my teeth and said.
The three of us carried our packages and squeezed together to continue groping forward. Now our formation was very dense. If anything happened, we would probably be blamed.
It's just that the fog is so thick at the moment that we can't see the environment outside the torches at all, so we can only crowd under the torches.
After advancing about ten meters, Wang Yuanchao suddenly stopped, and I saw a very strange expression on his face.
"What happened to the aid to Korea?" I asked curiously.
"Look what this is..." Wang Yuanchao bent down and picked up a small yellow-orange object.
"Desert Eagle bullet casings! Someone's fucking shot this before! Why didn't we hear it?"
The fat man screamed.
"And the shells are still hot."
Wang Yuanchao frowned and picked up a few more bullets from the heavy machine gun. His expression was extremely doubtful.
These bullets were definitely brought by our group, which means that Ma Rulong and the others fired here not long ago.
But here's the problem, we didn't hear any gunshots just now. Could this place be haunted? I felt baffled.
Ta-ta-ta!
Suddenly, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from not far away from us, but the sound disappeared in a flash.
Whoosh!
Wang Yuanchao suddenly raised his sniper rifle. The opponent was definitely not a human.
If it were a human being, it would have been impossible for him to turn around and leave when he saw the fire on our side just now.
"Why are there other things besides poisonous snakes following us..."
The fat man said tremblingly.
Since leaving the camp, I have discovered so many strange things, and now I hear footsteps again. At this moment, my head is in a mess, and I don’t know what to do.
And what's even worse is that my back suddenly felt itchy, as if there were some bugs scurrying around on my back, and I immediately felt like I was dying.
"Run! Listen to me!"
I yelled loudly, and then ran wildly with the wind at my feet.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time was when I met Shi Yanluo. Now the bugs that Zhang Sanpao threw on my back started to stir again, indicating that there must be danger nearby.
At this moment, I was in a state of chaos and could only run forward as hard as I could. As for whether there were any traps on the ground, I couldn't care less.
I don't know if it's my imagination, but there seems to be a faint smell of blood surrounding me.
"Dingdong, slow down, slow down, Fatty can hardly keep up."
The fat man behind me caught up and grabbed my arm.
I held my hand against my pounding heart and felt that the bugs on my back stopped stirring, and then I took a deep breath.
Chapter completed!
