Several people discussed it and decided to spend the night here. If Wu Sanxu didn't send another signal before dark, they would continue to follow yesterday's position.
The fat man lit a bonfire and several people leaned against the fire to keep warm. In a place like this, the temperature difference between day and night is too big.
"We're not going to stay in the snake's den now, are we?"
Although the fat man was covered in mud, he was still frightened. The main reason is that the pheasant's neck is too weird. "It's not good to be covered in mud all the time. Fatty feels like he's almost soaked in water."
Suddenly the fat man looked behind a few people strangely. There seemed to be a huge shadow there. He didn't know what it was.
"Was there something in this place just now? Why don't I remember?"
The angle pointed by the fat man happened to be in the blind spot of several people's sight, and none of them paid attention to that side.
Pan Zi went over to check with a flashlight. In the dense forest not far ahead, a huge statue suddenly appeared. It was a statue of a human-faced bird with a somewhat different shape. Unlike other statues, which were usually in a sitting position, this The shape of the statue presents a very strange squatting posture, as if it is about to take off at any time.
The statue was wrapped in moss and vines, almost blending into the dense forest. Part of the statue was in the water, and there were some black shadows under the water. It was unknown what was sunk.
The fat man wanted to get closer to check, but Lu Yao stopped him.
"Don't go over there yet, there's something wrong over there."
Jin Zi told Lu Yao just now that there are many small life forces here, which reminded Lu Yao of those disguised moths.
There was still a handful of insect repellent powder left in his hand, which Lu Yao used as a hidden weapon and hit the statue on the side.
The statue actually broke. All the broken stones floated up.
In his innocent mind, he was still thinking about why the stone could float. Pan Zi on the side had already shouted: "Damn it, it's a moth!"
These moths spread out and flew around several people. Not knowing whether these moths were poisonous, several people subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their clothes.
"What the hell is this evil thing? This moth can disguise itself as a statue!"
The fat man cursed.
After these moths flew up, they revealed a large white area underneath, which turned out to be balls of snake slough.
The fat man went over and picked one up and cursed, "This is a fucking nest of snakes. These snakes are all from pheasant necks."
Looking around, there were snake sloughs everywhere, and in the direction they were going, the snake sloughs were very dense.
"This snake is not small."
The snake slough that the fat man picked back looked as thick as a calf, which was comparable to the wrist-thick ones they had encountered before.
Aning touched the snake skin and said, "This snake skin just fell off, we have to get out of here quickly."
The fat man wanted to leave long ago when he saw those snake sloughs. There were such things in this forest, and he felt very scared when he saw them.
Aning said: "Snakes usually shed their skin in places where they feel safe. If we encounter them here, they will definitely think that we are invading their territory."
Pan Zi was also worried, "There are dense trees here. If there are one or two hidden, we won't be able to find them at all."
As a few people moved forward, snake sloughs could be seen everywhere on the roadside. Now the sky had darkened. In the dark swamp rainforest, the white snake skins looked like snakes staring at them. The air was filled with The fishy smell is getting stronger and stronger, and the only equipment they have is simple gas masks.
"Damn! This place is too scary!" Fatty leaned against Lu Yao with some fear, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoluzi, Fatty will protect you."
The others looked at Fatty funny. When he was useful, he was Lu Ye, and when not, he was Xiao Luzi.
At this time, Lu Yao's expression changed, "No, a snake is back!"
Suddenly, there was a slight human voice in the dense forest, an intermittent voice, which sounded a bit like a woman talking in a low voice.
"Damn it!" Fatty's hair stood on end, "There aren't any ghosts in this forest!"
Wuxie also made a decision, but still punched the fat man, "You damn fat man, stop being alarmist."
The fat man was a little aggrieved, "This is really not the alarmist talk of the fat man. Look here, it is filled with evil mist and full of ghosts. Even if it is not haunted, I am afraid it is not far away."
It was indeed as the fat man said. Fog had arisen in the rainforest at some point, reducing visibility. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were many ghosts around.
Lu Yao took out the rope and asked several people to tie them together.
"What the hell, it's probably the pheasant neck that's back."
The fat man checked the mud on his body with a look of horror on his face, "Damn it, this pheasant neck can really talk!"
Wuxie asked nervously, "Lu Yao, can you sense how many there are?"
"There's something wrong with this fog, I can't sense it anymore."
The fat man asked now: "Then do we need to put on gas masks? If we put them on, how can we apply mud on them?"
"No," Aning said seriously, "Wear a gas mask now. There will be sound and the snake will hear it. Let's speed up and leave this snake sloughing area first."
"Mistress!" "Mistress!"
A vague sound suddenly came from all around, like the sound coming from a walkie-talkie that was blocked.
Wu Xie's expression was startled. Why was he called by his name? Could it be that he belonged to the third uncle?
Pan Zi covered the miner's lamp with a cloth, "Is this sound made by a snake?"
"This sound seems to be coming from the front, right?"
Lu Yao held the soft sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly. These pheasant necks had already spotted them, but since Chen Wenjin wiped mud to prevent snakes, why were they spotted.
There were already the rustling sounds of pheasants crawling around.
Several people gathered together to ensure that they would not be attacked from both sides.
The fat man held a knife in his hand and looked at the tree crown warily, "Has this pheasant's neck seen our disguise?"
The surrounding tree crowns swayed slightly, and the rustling sound came from the tree crowns.
Several people were a little stiff, and there were sounds from all directions.
"Are we being made dumplings by snakes?"
"No," Aning suddenly pointed in a direction, "There is no sound here."
Looking in the direction Aning pointed, that was the direction they initially chose.
The fat man asked worriedly, "Can we go this way?"
He didn't know why, but looking at this road, he felt very uneasy, as if there was something scarier than a pheasant's neck ahead.
Aning held a knife in his hand, "Let's go, why don't you go? I want to see what surprises these snakes have arranged for us."
