Chapter 283 I want to be friends with you
Bailu Mountain is divided into an outer circle and an inner circle. The outer circle is mainly inhabited by small wild animals. No one has dared to enter the inner circle so far. Even if you have the courage to enter, there is no chance to come out. There are not only poisonous snakes and insects, but also miasma and some large wild animals. Those large wild animals can directly pounce on people and eat them. Even if you don’t encounter large wild animals, the miasma in the forest is enough to kill people.
Inhaling a little of these miasma might be okay, but inhaling too much will cause dizziness. In severe cases, hallucinations will occur and people will faint in the woods, becoming food for large wild animals.
Animals in the forest have been breathing in miasma for a long time, and their bodies have developed natural immunity.
The villagers of Bailu Village only dared to hunt in the periphery. Even for the sake of making money, they did not dare to risk their lives to go deep into the Bailu Mountains.
Halfway through the walk, Lin Ting suddenly grabbed Si Chen's wrist.
Si Chen glanced back and asked, "What happened?"
"I'll lead the way, and you follow me. There are a lot of poisonous snakes and insects around here. Although they are afraid of cobras, it doesn't mean they won't attack humans." Lin Ting's eyes were cold and he spoke in a low voice.
She had just heard the little animals talking.
She has a scent that small animals like, so she won't be attacked easily by these small animals. Even if they get close to her, most of the time they interact with her in a friendly manner.
But it’s different for us, we are likely to be attacked by small animals.
Those villagers who went up the mountain must have been carrying something that the small animals were afraid of.
"Tongzi, are there any items in the system mall that can protect against small animal attacks, such as sachets of medicinal herbs or something like that?"
[There are sachets made of medicinal herbs that can not only keep away poisonous snakes, but also mosquitoes, rats, and ants. However, one sachet costs ten points.]
"I have plenty of points now, help me exchange thirty." Lin Ting exchanged according to the number of people on the scene.
[Your thirty sachets have been redeemed successfully.]
Along with the system's voice, Si Chen's voice rang in her ears, "There are hunters setting traps everywhere around here, so I'd better go ahead."
"It's okay. Ping An, the Flower Arm Boss, and Cobra are leading the way for me. There's no danger. You don't understand their words, so even if they warn you of danger, you won't pay attention. I'd better go ahead."
Lin Tingting pulled out thirty sachets from his bag and handed them to Si Chen. "These are a batch of sachets I quickly made after returning home this afternoon. They're filled with Chinese herbs and spices to keep away poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, rats, and ants from the mountains. I forgot to give them to you earlier. Divide them among you and wear them close to your bodies."
Fortunately, she always carries a cross-body bag or a backpack with her whenever she goes out, otherwise she would inevitably arouse suspicion if she inexplicably took out thirty sachets.
Si Chen kept one and handed the remaining sachets to the other police officers following behind him.
After everyone put on their sachets, Lin Ting followed Cobra and led everyone to set off again.
Woo
"Be careful, sister. There's a trap ahead."
Lin Ting looked down in the moonlight and saw that there was indeed a trap with some food on it, probably to lure wild animals.
Lin Ting picked up a branch from the ground and hit the clamp with all his strength.
As the force was applied, the trap was immediately triggered. After the trap clamped the branch, Lin Ting threw it away casually.
After triggering the trap, Lin Ting continued to follow Ping An. When they reached a thick patch of grass, Ping An suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Ting stop, everyone behind him stopped.
Woo
'There's a trap.'
Ping An stepped on the haystack, gathered his strength and jumped to Lin Ting's feet. As Ping An jumped, the grass on the trap fell down, and a two-meter-high and deep pit immediately appeared. At the bottom of the pit were sharp spears made of bamboo. Once an animal fell in, it would be stabbed by these spears and die instantly.
She thought that humans' ability to make good use of tools was a sign of advanced human civilization, but it was abominable that these advanced civilizations were used on these powerless animals.
As if sensing her gradually weakening aura, Si Chen lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "After we've dealt with those hunters, I'll send someone over to clean up these traps and animal traps."
"Thank you." Lin Ting calmed down and continued to lead the team forward.
Along the way, they encountered many animal traps, deep pit traps dug by humans, and even cages that used food as bait.
It was an hour later when they reached the cave where the cobra had come across.
This cave is already deep in Bailu Mountain, but it is still a long distance away from the miasma-filled forest on Bailu Mountain, and they dare not go any deeper into the forest.
There are two people guarding the cave entrance.
Everyone hid in the grass in the woods and did not dare to move forward. If they continued forward, they would probably be discovered by people outside the cave.
"Sister, meow, I'm going to get some information for you."
"You two be careful, there may be more traps nearby. Don't run into the cave, just check the periphery to see if there are other people." Lin Ting whispered.
Cobra also left with Ping An and the Flower-armed Boss.
The cobra took the initiative to crawl towards the cave.
The color of the cobra is similar to the darkness of the night, and it is difficult to be discovered by sticking to the rocks. The cobra also has a strong crawling ability and can crawl along any wall, which can avoid human sight. It is also extremely aggressive and is indeed the best partner for gathering information.
With the help of Cobra to gather information, Lin Ting and everyone else waited obediently where they were.
Lin Ting was not particularly obedient and caught two dating vipers from the tree.
In the past, Lin Ting was extremely afraid of snakes and would want to hide away when he saw one. But now, not only is he not afraid anymore, he even dares to catch snakes with his bare hands.
"Bad human, you dare to touch the snake. The snake is warning you, let it go, or it will bite you. Snakes are extremely poisonous."
"I know you are highly poisonous, so I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you to do me a favor." Lin Ting said slowly.
'This human can actually understand snakes' speech.'
"It also has a very nice smell, which snakes love."
The viper girlfriend directly wrapped her tail around Lin Ting's arm. The force she used was not very strong, and it didn't seem like she was wrapping her prey. It was more like she was expressing her friendship.
'Can a snake be your friend?'
"Don't trust these bad guys so easily. Have you forgotten how your seventh uncle died? He was captured and eaten by these bad guys."
"Get lost, snakes trust their own judgment. This Xiangxiang human is different from those humans."
The viper's girlfriend bit the male snake on the head, and the male snake immediately shut up.
