It was late winter outside at this time, and the dry cold wind blowing on the face would make people feel burning pain. But it was abnormally warm in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes. It was not at all as cold as Jia Orion said, only damp.
Although Lu Chun no longer had to worry about being infected by miasma because he had taken the elixir and received treatment from Lin Zidai. But he still couldn't stand the rotten smell in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes. He pulled off two strips of cloth and stuffed his nostrils, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Let me tell you, Lao Jia, how on earth could you endure this smell when you came to Ten Thousand Snakes Valley?" Lu Chun blocked his nostrils and spoke in a low voice.
"After all, I am an Orion, and I have been accustomed to all kinds of dangerous environments since I was a child. It is easy to endure this kind of smell." Jia Orion wrinkled his nose and said, "Back then, for safety reasons, I even covered my body with old things. To avoid being discovered by the poisonous snake, if brother Lu Chun needs it, just give me orders."
Hearing this, Lu Chun shook his head repeatedly, with rejection written all over his body. Although Jia Lihu didn't say it clearly, Lu Chun knew what the cliché he was talking about without even thinking about it.
"Old Jia, I appreciate your kindness. As for what you said, let's forget it!" Lu Chun grinned, then turned to look around, "And we've been walking for so long and there's not even half a snake. See, this Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes really doesn’t live up to its name.”
Seeing Lu Chun's clean refusal, Jia Liehu also wisely didn't mention it any more, and took over the conversation and said: "That's right, I remember when I came here last time, I painted it all over..." At this point, Jia Liehu saw Lu Chun Jun's face looked wrong, and he quickly changed his words: "Ahem, I was fully prepared when I came here last time, but I was still almost attacked by a poisonous snake. Why didn't I see half of the snake this time? I shouldn't have?"
"It's easy to understand if you say so. After all, it's winter now, and these snakes may have entered a state of hibernation." Lu Chun said.
Jia Orianhu shook his head: "The reason why these snakes enter hibernation is actually affected by external factors. Once the ambient temperature drops and there is a shortage of food, they will fall into hibernation. Although the environment here is very harsh for us, it is a snake species. of paradise, so they will never hibernate again.”
Speaking of this, Jia Liehu suddenly lowered his voice: "And from the beginning, I have always felt that something is staring at us. Brother Lu Chun, you must follow Brother Lin!"
"What?" Lu Chun broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this, and he suddenly felt that his neck had become extremely stiff. But Lu Chun rolled his eyes and looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual.
"Old Jia, there's something there, maybe you feel wrong, right?" Lu Chun forced a smile.
"In the past, when I went out hunting, I had to stay alert at all times to avoid dangers hidden in the dark, so you must trust a hunter's intuition." Jia Orion said firmly.
"Brother Jia is right, there is indeed something wrong in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes." Lin Zidai suddenly interjected.
"Since you know it, why didn't you say it earlier?" Lu Chun was no longer able to complain to Lin Zidai, but this was not the time to complain. He muttered in a low voice and then became serious and said nervously: "You idiot Lin, you are secretly doing this. Could it be that the owner of the Spark Sect is staring at us all the time?"
Lin Zidai frowned slightly and sighed: "No, if it was really him, we wouldn't be able to notice it anyway..."
When Lin Zidai was still young, the wolf Qianxun appeared behind him without being noticed. But now, when Lin Zidai faced the fake village chief, he couldn't detect anything strange about him.
Although Lin Zidai still dare not confirm the true identity of the fake village chief, if this person is really the Wolf Qianxun, it can only mean one thing. The hidden skill of the Wolf Qianxun has reached the level of perfection.
"No matter what, this is the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes after all, and the things here should not be underestimated. As I said, everyone is better to be careful!" Lin Zidai was silent for a moment and continued.
Jia Lihu nodded when he heard this and held the bamboo knife tightly in his hand: "Sir, you are right. Although we are still some distance from the fork in the road, we still have time before dark, so we should be more cautious. That’s good.”
After saying that, the group continued to follow Jia Lihu's direction, walking slowly forward on the vines and around the mud.
When the three of them were far away, a rustling sound suddenly sounded here.
"Sister, that dangerous aura is coming from these people! I'm going to show up and give them to... Ouch! Sister, why are you hitting me?"
"A Sheng, can you be more steady? After all, we don't know what that dangerous aura is, so it's better not to provoke it at will!"
"But sister, we can't just let them invade our territory like this, right?"
"That said, but..." Another voice suddenly hesitated.
"Eh? Sister, look! That bamboo knife looks familiar!"
"Let me see! This bamboo knife... seems to have been seen somewhere before? Why does this person, this person look like that dirty thing before?"
"Dirty thing? Oh! It's this stinky guy! Our food is contaminated by this filthy thing! So...then aren't the two people next to the filthy thing's accomplices? Damn it! What if the three of them Together they become dirty things, and our food may suffer again! Sister, sister, what are we going to do?"
"Forget it, let's follow them first! If they dare to contaminate our food, we will fight with them! Ouch!" As a fierce roar ended, the woods here became quiet again.
Jia Lihu, Lu Chun, and Lin Zidai walked in a row, stepping on the vines and walking forward slowly. Jia Lihu was responsible for leading the way, and Lin Zidai was responsible for guarding behind. Although Lu Chun didn't have any use, he still looked left and right, worried.
While walking, several people were suddenly blocked by a large natural vine net. Jia Lihu looked around and found that only the road in front of him was passable, so he let the two people behind him rest for a while and held it by himself. The bamboo knife carefully divided the vines in front of him.
Because Jia Liehu had to concentrate on cutting off the vines, Lin Zidai stepped forward to help him guard the surroundings. Although Lu Chun wanted to help, he saw that the thinnest vines in front of him were as thick as an adult's wrist. He was really powerless with his bare hands, so he could only He simply stood aside and rested with his arms folded.
But just after he stood up, he suddenly felt an itch on his scalp, and he naturally reached out and scratched it. Just when he was about to take back his hand, he suddenly felt something touch the back of his finger. He touched it up without even thinking. Then his face turned pale and he exclaimed: "Snake!"
Jia Lihu was startled by Lu Chun's voice and turned around hastily. But when he saw clearly the situation above Lu Chun's head, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He waved the sword in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Lu Chun is really funny, I almost got fooled by you!"
When Lu Chun saw that Jia Lihu had a strange look on his face, he also curled up his neck and looked above his head. All he saw above his head was a gray vine half the thickness of his wrist, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"Where did the gray vine come from? I'm so scared!" Lu Chun was embarrassed and angry at the same time. He reached out and grabbed the gray vine and tried to pull it off from his head. But before he could hold onto the gray vine, he saw the gray vine wrap around his wrist and around his forearm, pulling him up directly.
"Brother Lu Chun!" Something strange happened suddenly. Jia Lihu was also startled. He directly threw the bamboo knife in his hand, cleanly cutting off the gray vines entangled with Lu Chun, and then hurriedly stepped forward to catch it. Lu Chun fell from the sky.
"Oh my God! What the hell is this!" Lu Chun was quite frightened. As soon as he stood up, he rubbed his red arms that were strangled by gray vines and said tremblingly.
"I don't know about this. I didn't encounter this kind of situation last time I came here!" It was also the first time for Jia Lihu to see such a situation, and he felt very strange.
But while they were still in shock, the two of them suddenly pointed behind each other and said in unison: "Old Jia! Behind you!", "Brother Lu Chun! Behind you!"
The two people quickly looked around, back to back, and saw countless gray vines suddenly emerging from the ground under their feet, coming towards them like a tide!
"Old Jia! Have you seen Duzi Lin?" Lu Chun suddenly realized something was wrong and said hurriedly.
Only then did Jia Orianhu react and shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't notice, sir, could he have already..."
"Impossible! Idiot Lin will be fine!" Lu Chun said with an ugly face: "Old Jia, is there anything you can do?"
Jia Liehu sighed: "If I had a bamboo knife in my hand, I could cut a way out, but I don't know where the bamboo knife fell just now, and I was helpless!"
"Strong knife?" Lu Chun naturally saw what Jia Liehu had just thrown the bamboo knife at. He followed his memory and saw the bamboo knife stuck in the ground among the gray vines not far away. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old Jia! Don't talk big at times like this. Are you sure you can get out as long as you have a bamboo knife?"
"Of course! I still have this confidence!"
"That's good!" When Lu Chun heard this, he kicked his feet and jumped into the air like a rabbit. He jumped directly into the gray vines with three steps at a time.
"Brother Lu Chun! What are you going to do..." Jia Lihu felt something bad behind his back, but it was too late when he wanted to stop him. He could only watch Lu Chun jump into the wave of gray vines.
Just when Lu Chun was about to be swallowed up by the gray vine, Jia Lihu saw his bamboo sword being raised high by an arm and thrown in front of him, and he hurriedly caught it subconsciously.
"Old Jia! Promise me... you must find Duzi Lin! Otherwise, I will never be done with you..."
Before Lu Chun could finish speaking, he was swallowed into a patch of gray vines...
"Brother Lu Chun! Brother Lu Chun! No!"
