Hundreds of years old trees tower into the sky, with their crowns intertwined and growing to form a natural arch bridge.
Countless wild flowers bloomed on the bridge, forming a dreamy sky garden.
And under these giant trees is a deep underground river, so clear that you can't see the bottom. When you stare into it, you feel a sense of fear as if you are facing the abyss.
There was a thin mist surging in the valley bottom. Because he didn't know whether it was miasma, Zhao Wei immediately asked everyone to stuff a kind of wormwood into their nostrils, which had the effect of temporarily shielding and purifying the air.
This place is not only rich in vegetation resources, there are also some wild animals that have strayed here.
Among them, the most numerous are snakes.
This thing likes this kind of cold and damp place where there is no sunlight.
What’s most terrifying is that each of these snakes is thicker than the one Zhao Wei killed on the cliff.
Facing these colorful snakes can make one's scalp creepy.
Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery in the last second, but was frightened in the next second and shouted to leave quickly.
If they were left to deal with so many snakes, they would surely die.
Zhao Wei didn't want to be a warrior. He just felt that there were so many snakes, but not a single one ran out of the village. This could only mean one thing: this valley was a closed loop, or if there was a way out, it was not on their village's side.
"Don't panic. See? There are a lot of snakes here. This plant is good for killing snakes."
"We just need to stay near this grass to stay safe for the time being."
The young men didn't understand what snake-killing meant, but when they learned that this grass could kill snakes, they ran to pick some of the grass, tied it around their legs and waists, and got fully armed.
Actually, this thing is not very effective in repelling snakes, but it can treat snake venom, so it's good to carry it with you as an antidote.
It can also make these young people braver.
Zhao Wei did the same as them. After some effort, he started looking for the fallen lamb.
To be honest, if you fall from such a high place, you really can't survive unless you have extremely good luck.
Thanks to this river, miracles can be created.
Just then, they saw a sheep, bleating by the river, its body all wet.
Moreover, judging from his body shape, he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
In nature, many animals can swim, which is why they have a chance of escaping.
The young men were so happy that they no longer cared about the snake and ran towards the lamb.
This sheep was domesticated by humans and is not afraid of humans.
Or rather, he was so frightened that he didn't know how to dodge and allowed them to catch him.
Zhao Wei handed them a rope and asked them to tie up the sheep first.
There were still two sheep left, but they were likely to be in danger because he had seen a drop of blood on the pebbles by the river.
Then there are the signs of dragging.
We followed the trail all the way and finally saw a particularly large python lying on the ground with its bulging belly.
There were many big snakes circling and entangled around it, which was disgusting to look at.
"Alas... there's nothing to see. The sheep is dead. What a pity..."
The people in their village were reluctant to slaughter such a good animal and saved the lamb. Now it has entered the snake's mouth and cannot be saved. They can only pin their hopes on the last sheep.
The sheep neither fell into the water nor entered the snake's mouth, but was still struggling in the water.
They walked along the river for half an hour before they saw the sheep.
This sheep doesn't know how to save itself, it just foolishly follows the flow of the water. If Zhao Wei had given up because of the trouble, he would most likely have passed it by.
Fortunately, there is still time. I just need to take out the rope, make a noose, throw it to the sheep's horn, and then pull it ashore.
Several people worked hard there, and the sheep was pulled back very quickly.
While they were doing this whole time, they didn't know that not far away from them, a huge python was spitting out its tongue and crawling towards them with a hissing sound.
Zhao Wei's nostrils were stuffed with grass at this time, so he could not smell the fishy smell of the python.
But he had very sharp ears, and amidst the shouts of the crowd, the heavy breathing, and the bleating of sheep... he heard the sizzling sound.
At the critical moment, his back seemed to have eyes and countless goose bumps appeared.
In just that instant, he realized that something was wrong and shouted decisively.
"Oh no, jump into the water!"
Zhao Si fell into the water with a "splash", and then the other young men were also shocked and jumped in panic.
Behind them, the giant python had bitten down hard, but it missed.
Everyone could swim, so they dived into the water and when they surfaced, they were already quite far away from the shore.
The reason why Zhao Wei dared to jump into such unfamiliar waters was because he saw that this stupid sheep had stayed in the water for so long without any harm, so he could act so boldly.
At this time, several young men looked at the huge monster on the shore with some fear, and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"Oh my god, I was almost eaten by this long worm!"
"It's so scary. Such a powerful beast, a shotgun can't fire in the water, I'm afraid it's doomed."
"What should we do now? That beast has been hovering by the river, and we can't get ashore...wait..."
One of the young men asked in surprise: "Where is the sheep we just saved?"
"Huh? It's gone. Could there be another snake that ate it?"
"Damn it! These beasts are getting such a good deal! I haven't even eaten mutton!"
…
Several young people were cursing angrily there, but they were powerless to change the outcome.
At the moment, there was a sheep paddling in the water, quite close to them.
Zhao Wei went over first and pulled the sheep over.
Then they took off the ropes on its body and started making a suitable cover.
"Boss, what are you doing now?"
Zhao Wei said calmly: "This beast has a sheep in its stomach now. It is currently unable to move, so we naturally have to kill it."
"You guys will act according to the situation. I will drag the snake into the river, and you can take the opportunity to lead the sheep to the shore."
"No, you can't fight this alone. We have to stay with you."
"Get lost! Who wants you to accompany me? You will only hinder me. Hurry up and swim over there to get ready. The rest has nothing to do with you!"
