The necks of these pheasants seemed to have sensors before. After the first snake died silently, several snakes seemed to communicate with each other, and then they all retreated.
"what happened?"
Aning was the first to climb out of the sleeping bag, and when the snake crawled over, she noticed it.
Zhang Qilin, Pan Zi and Wuxie also ran out of the sleeping bags one after another.
"What's going on? Where did the snake come from?" Wuxie looked around with a flashlight, "I'll wake up the fat man."
As soon as Wuxie turned around, he found a figure standing in the swamp opposite. It looked like he had emerged from the swamp.
"Who is there?"
Hearing the innocent voice, several people shined their flashlights over it. A man covered in mud stood in waist-deep water and looked directly at them, like a water ghost.
"What the hell is this?" Panzi shouted.
Zhang Qilin took a closer look and shouted in surprise, "Chen Wenjin!" Then he rushed towards the clay figurine!
Wuxie was the person closest to the mud man. After the younger brother rushed over, Wuxie also rushed down. After walking a few steps, his whole body was stuck in the mud. He ran over before he could put on his shoes. Then The touch of mud and water plants simply made Wu Xie's scalp tingle.
Zhang Qilin in front ran very fast. When he was about to encounter the clay figure, the clay figure suddenly turned around and shrank into the water, fleeing towards the depths of the swamp.
Zhang Qilin did not stop. Instead, he chased after the man without any ripples behind him, and was suddenly submerged in the darkness.
Wuxie wanted to continue chasing, but Pan Zi's cry came from the distance. "Young Master, please come back first. I have a sense of propriety. We can't help you."
Only then did Wuxie realize that, except for the younger brother who had chased him out, Lu Yao, Pan Zi and Aning were still standing there, and even the fat man had already gotten up from his sleeping bag.
Wuxie asked them in surprise, why didn't they pursue them?
The fat man said to Wu Xie in a serious tone: "We are not little brothers. We can't catch up. Have you seen the smoke over there? The third master's distress signal smoke. With my skills, I can't walk sideways here, at least without us." If you hold back, you can escape.”
"But there are many things that we can ask clearly as long as we catch Chen Wenjin!" Wuxie said in a good mood.
"It's unclear," Aning said calmly.
Lu Yao suddenly asked Wu Xie an irrelevant question, "Wu Xie, do you know how old A Ning's boss is?"
Wuxie was a little confused by the question, but looked at Lu Yao with doubtful eyes and said nothing.
Lu Yao glanced at An Ning and then said: "I know what you want to say. What does his age have to do with me? What does it have to do with this matter? Right, but An Ning's boss is the same as your grandfather. A person of that era, and he is so much richer than you. After all these years, he still hasn’t figured everything out. Even if you meet Chen Wenjin now, what you can get is still a circle of fog, and you may even be more confused than you are now. "
The fat man looked unbelieving, "So evil?"
"A big plan that has lasted for so many years cannot be completed by one person or a few people. Everyone involved has a line of their own, but everyone only knows what is on this line. A good control Or, you won’t even let these people meet. What would you do if you asked Chen Wenjin? You might as well ask your third uncle directly. "
After listening to Lu Yao's words, Wu Xie didn't say anything and just went to pack the equipment in silence. Aning just said, the snake has already come here, so it's better to leave quickly, otherwise the snake will kill him again.
"But what will happen to me when we leave?"
Lu Yao looked at Wu Xie, "You still didn't understand what I said. It doesn't matter. I'll leave the equipment for my brother. We will meet up soon. Don't worry."
"But what should I do if my brother comes back later?"
"Fat brother will leave marks along the way. When the little brother sees the marks, he will naturally find us. His footsteps are much faster than ours."
"But……"
Fatty held Wuxie down and said, "Zhenzhen, don't worry about it. When have you ever worried about us?"
Wuxie still looked worried, but was pushed directly into the swamp by the fat man.
"Don't worry so much, just apply some mud and beautify yourself!"
"What are you doing..." Before Wu Xie could finish his words, he saw Pan Zi and An Ning jumping down one after another, covering their bodies with mud. It was clear that in the daytime, An Ning would wash off the mud on his body, so why did he start? Smeared with mud.
"It's very dangerous to drive at night. Not only will there be all kinds of poisonous insects, but there will also be pheasants with their necks nearby. Lu Yao said that applying mud can prevent snakes."
Aning was wearing the waterproof suit given by Lu Yao, which was very suitable for walking in the jungle.
"You must always pay attention to the mud on your body. If it dries or is washed away by rain, you must replace it as soon as possible."
The fat man looked at Lu Yao a little bit, "Master Lu, do you want to share some of your snake repellent powder with everyone?"
"No," Lu Yao looked at the fat man seriously, "Why are you asked to change clothes? One is to eliminate the residual smell of the snake repellent powder. There are too many snakes, and the snake repellent powder has expired. Now it can only guide the snakes. In a rainforest like this, snake repellent powder is a huge signal source, and snakes will surround us."
"You can sprinkle some in some places to confuse the snakes." Aning suggested.
"It's not very effective. There are too many snakes here."
Wu Sanxing's distress signal seemed to be not far away from a few people. Because of the night, the signal smoke was not as conspicuous as during the day. It was Pan Zi's experience that allowed him to judge that it was a distress signal.
Lu Yao knew that Wu Sanxing was probably besieged by snakes, but from here he should go to Wu Sanxing's camp, but if he was fast, he should be able to meet them before they entered the West Queen Mother Palace.
The few people did not delay and moved forward cautiously along the way. Sure enough, not long after, there was a rustling sound in the trees, as if some large animal was passing by.
Wuxie even saw a flash of red snake body in the grass, which was the neck of a pheasant. Such a big movement must not be as simple as one or two.
"It's a snake tide." Aning reminded in a low voice.
"It's not a snake tide. Look in the direction we're heading. It's our camp just now."
Hearing Pan Zi's words, several people's hearts trembled, holy shit! Could it be that those snakes just went back to fetch reinforcements?
"Let's go quickly, otherwise they won't find anyone there, so they will probably go this way."
Wuxie asked softly, "Why?"
Lu Yao pointed to the already faint smoke for help, "The snakes are coming from that way. They should be attacking your third uncle's camp."
