Chapter 42: The Best of Poison



Although they knew that Black Panther could also find water, if they didn't help at this time, the other villagers would definitely have something to say.

"Don't go. You stay and look after your second sister and third brother. I'll go."

As he spoke, Chaoge pulled Leng Liecheng aside and winked at him.

"Big sister, you've worked hard enough. My cold has completely healed, and I know a few martial arts skills. You're a woman after all, and your body won't be able to withstand a long journey."

In the end, Leng Liecheng stayed, and when Aunt Li saw Chaoge going with him to find water, she also wanted to follow.

"Take good care of them. I see that your health is not as good as our young people's. You should rest for a while.

It's windy on the top of the mountain, so if you have time, go find some firewood and light the fire."

Aunt Li was indeed very tired. After all, she was in her forties and was nothing like Chaoge in her teens.

Since Chaoge had given the order, she was already living under someone else's roof, so there was no reason to force it.

Zhou Dong took away twenty men and a dozen women, each carrying a backpack and a wooden barrel, and carrying a hoe and sickle, and headed towards the dense forest on the top of the mountain.

There were still many refugees going up the mountain one after another, and there were also many refugees on the top of the mountain heading deep into the mountains to continue their journey.

Some of them, like the people in Zhou Dong’s village, rested directly on the top of the mountain, while others were waiting for their families to see if a miracle would happen, hoping that after rolling down the mountain, they could climb up again.

After walking for a while, we walked from the bare area on the top of the mountain into the depths of the dense forest.

The trees here are like the trees on the hillside, most of them are withered, but there are still many green plants in the places covered by the big trees.

Or perhaps this piece of land is not the direction of going down the mountain, so those refugees who cross the mountain rarely come here intentionally.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more green you see. The rare green brings rare smiles and hope to the faces of everyone who is traveling along the way.

The further he walked in, the more Chaoge realized that the black jade on his chest was hotter than before, and it emitted green light more frequently, as if it was absorbing something.

In order to find out what was going on with Mo Cui, Chaoge deliberately fell to the end of the team.

While the people in front of her weren't paying attention, she took out the black jadeite and began to explore it.

As soon as she touched the black jadeite, the scorching temperature made her quickly put it back into her inner garment, which she also had an undershirt inside, so that her skin would not be burned.

She discovered that the green light emitted by this black jade was not like the time when it was dripping blood.

This time, the green light seemed to be emitted from the surrounding trees and weeds, and all gathered towards her dark green!

Chaoge was amazed and wanted to see it more clearly when he suddenly heard Zhou Dong's voice in front of him: "Little pigeon, hurry up!

Don't fall behind, walk in the middle of the team!"

Upon hearing this, Chaoge responded hastily, quickly closed his coat, chased after him, and walked among the crowd.

"Village chief, I feel that the top of the mountain is much colder than the bottom of the mountain. Is it because of this reason that many weeds and bushes have not been dried up?

It looks like we can have wild vegetables to eat today."

Zhou Daniu was carrying a backpack with a wooden barrel in it. Most people were equipped like him. Only Chaoge's backpack had a few bamboo tubes in it and nothing else.

"That's probably the case. After all, this mountain is so high, and it's normal for the climate to be colder on the top of the mountain. Maybe we can find water soon.

Everyone hurry up and follow. If you want to dig wild vegetables, wait until you find water before you come back to dig."

Wild vegetables can only fill their stomachs, but water is their hope for survival.

Everyone understood this truth and no longer coveted this clump of greenery, and continued to move towards places with greenery and big rocks.

Where there are big rocks, there is a high probability that there will be underground rivers or similar terrains. This is also everyone’s experience in life.

After walking for about another half an hour, Zhou Dong, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, looked back with a pale face, and made a gesture to silence everyone!

Seeing Zhou Dong's frightened expression, everyone became alert as if facing a great enemy.

Chaoge frowned, wanting to see what kind of ferocious beast appeared in front of him, when suddenly he seemed to hear a faint sound of dripping water in his ears.

However, Chaoge looked at the people who had turned around silently. It seemed that everyone was frightened by Zhou Dong. They just turned around and left quietly, and it seemed that they didn't hear the sound of water at all.

Chaoge hesitated whether to tell them about the voice she heard?

Although she was not short of water, many of the villagers Zhou Dong led had not had a drop of water all day.

And judging from the situation today, Zhou Dong would definitely not go back unless he found water, and she didn't want to continue wasting her energy.

At this moment, someone suddenly let out a scream in this quiet mountain!

A scream startled everyone who was about to leave when Zhou Dong signaled to do so, and they all turned around!

Zhou Dong's pale face became even paler!

Subconsciously, he couldn't help but look back at the big rock not far away, and his heart skipped a beat in an instant!

"Run! There's a python!"

The giant python was originally sleeping on a rock with its strong body cross-legged. Suddenly, it raised its head and looked towards Zhou Dong and his group.

When he turned around, he happened to meet the python's red eyes. He was so scared that he had to quickly remind everyone and then ran back!

Not to mention the women who came out with them, even the dozens of men were frightened and fled in panic!

Humans imagine that snakes are very fast, but in fact, they are not.

Chaoge, who had some knowledge about animals, knew that ordinary snakes would only run faster in the first few minutes, and after that their speed could only reach a few thousand meters per hour.

But if the python is in the water, its speed will be ten times faster than on land, so ordinary pythons will not hunt prey like those ferocious animals. They usually adopt an ambush hunting method.

Thinking of the speed of the python, Chaoge and a group of people also fled in panic. In his panic, he still subconsciously turned back to look at the python out of curiosity.

When she saw clearly what kind of snake it was, her eyes suddenly lit up!

Pythons are rarely poisonous, and a green python this big is simply the best in the world of poisonous creatures.

Moreover, the body of this green python is as thick as a bucket, and its snake body, which is up to seven or eight meters long, is simply a delicious delicacy!

Not to mention how delicious the snake meat is, if you can get the snake gall, and then have the chance to exchange it for silver, you will definitely make a fortune!

The python attacked very quickly, and someone was eventually caught in a panic by the python's body!

Zhou Dong, who was fleeing with the villagers, would never risk his life to save his villagers. The person who was rolled up by the python was Zhou Daniu, who was walking side by side with Zhou Dong and chatting about the weather.
