Chapter 27



The beastmen left quickly, and the chaotic smell was covered by the coldness of ice and snow and the forest. Only Song Xu and Wu Mu were left on the messy rubble, as well as a primitive beast corpse that was gradually stiffening and cold.

Sheshe seemed to relax a little, and kept sending out his snake signal to capture information from the outside world.

Song Xu took the opportunity to get closer again: "Hey, baby..."

The hissing sound from Sheshe at this time was obviously threatening, and it was different from his usual casual hissing sound. Song Xu could hear it, so he kept his distance very honestly.

It has been more than two months since I saw Sheshe open his eyes. After finally waking up, he seemed to have become a stupid snake. He didn't even recognize her and breathed on her. It was really sad.

But from the way he breathed on her, it can be seen that he is really out of his mind now.

Was he awakened from hibernation and hasn't woken up yet, or was it the blood and flesh of the primitive beast that affected him?

When Song Xu pulled him out of the primitive beast's stomach, she noticed that there were blood stains and meat shreds hanging from his mouth, so he must have been chewing this thing without thinking clearly.

The sky gradually darkened, and Song Xu squatted in the snow, feeling that she was about to be frozen stiff. The snake was not much better than her, freezing there without moving.

Seeing more fine snowflakes falling, Song Xu decided not to waste any more time. She approached the big snake, and against his weakened hissing, she took off her wolf skin and rushed up to wrap his big mouth, trying to pull him off the stone.

Such a big snake's struggle was very deadly. The head wrapped in wolf skin swung wildly. Song Xu couldn't hold down his head and was thrown directly into the air.

She changed her form in the air. The little squirrel landed lightly, picked up the wolf skin that fell on the side, turned into a human form, and rushed over from behind to cover the snake's head again.

Sitting astride the cold snake, Song Xu felt that the snake's body was colder than snow. He seemed to have only instincts left, twisting wildly because of the attack. His tail slapped on the boulder, sweeping the frozen primitive beast corpse to the bottom, and some gravel was also splashed by him.

Song Xu believed that if he hadn't been frozen for too long, he would definitely have more than this strength now. She could feel the snake's mouth wrapped in snake skin trying to open, but she pressed it down hard again.

She didn't care about anything, and let the almost frozen snake smash the surrounding stones and press him down. Slowly, the snake's struggles became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped completely, faster than Song Xu expected.

Song Xu thought that the snake had finally used up all his strength and fell into a coma again because of the cold, but she quietly lifted a corner of the wolfskin and looked inside, and just in time she saw the snake's blood-red eyes move towards her.

The big snake was not unconscious, but was covered by the wolfskin. Slowly, he remembered that the wolfskin smelled familiar to her, so he stopped struggling.

Song Xu didn't know, so he covered the wolf skin back, but still didn't loosen the grip on Sheshe's head. If they were bitten by the big snake, they would both die, so it was better to be cautious.

They were now on a landslide with a tilted boulder, and because of Sheshe's struggle just now, they were about to fall to the bottom. Song Xu looked down and found an opening to enter the cave.

It was a pity that the cave, which had a larger space inside, collapsed in half after the primitive beast's actions just now.

Song Xu held Sheshe's head and part of his body and rolled down with him. With Sheshe's height and weight, it would be a difficult task for her to carry him, so it would be better to just roll down and save energy.

After rolling into the cave, the frightened snake began to twist again. Song Xu hurriedly soothed it, saying "It's okay, it's okay!" He quickly picked up a rope of straw woven in the fall, wrapped it around the wolf skin and tied it up around the snake's head.

After releasing the big snake wearing a wolf skin "hood", Song Xu ducked into the cave, quickly cleared the gravel on the ground, used his feet to push away the scattered food and nuts, and ran to the nest he had made for the snake to take a look.

The nest was not damaged, but there was a large stone missing on the upper side, and now the wind and snow were blowing into the gap. If she used stones to block such a big hole, the stones she needed were too big to move, and it would take a while to block it with other materials... Oh, isn't there a primitive beast corpse over there?

Song Xu thought of the ready-made materials, carefully stepped over the coiled snake on the ground, picked up the animal tooth knife and rushed straight to the primitive beast, cutting off its two wings with membranes from the base of the wings.

These two big wings were not as heavy as she imagined. She dragged one wing to the gap and covered it, just enough to cover the big hole, and then fixed it with stones to prevent it from being blown away in the middle of the night.

After solving the largest air leak in the house, Song Xu picked up the door she made from the pile of rocks and blocked another gap, and then returned to the dim and narrow collapsed stone cave.

The previous bonfire had long been extinguished, and even the ashes were pressed under a large rock. Song Xu found another dry place in the cave, brought dry firewood and rekindled the fire.

After doing all this, she came to Sheshe again, carefully held his head, and dragged him into the bearskin den.

It was too heavy, and Song Xu was sweating all over before she successfully dragged most of his body onto the bearskin. While she was dragging it, the big snake didn't move, like a heavy piece of firewood, or a bundle of hemp rope soaked with water.

Song Xu manually wrapped his tail, which was still half dragged outside the den, around his body and covered it with another bearskin pulled out from under the rock.

He didn't struggle to bite her halfway, which made Song Xu worry that he was sick from the cold. She touched the snake's body and kneaded it to see if it was frozen hard. It seemed not to be, so she carefully untied the straw rope and took off the wolf skin on the snake's head.

The snake will not open or close its eyes when it is in beast form. After all, it does not have eyelids like humans. There is only a piece of transparent scales outside the eyeball to protect the eyes. Therefore, Song Xu could not tell whether he was asleep or awake.

"Hey, Wumu, are you okay?"

"Wumu, are you asleep?"

Without the big hole that leaked air, and the fire was lit, the temperature in the cave rose, and Song Xu finally felt that her body had warmed up a little. She lay not far from the snake and gradually approached.

Suddenly, the snake spit out its tongue. Seeing that he stopped hissing fiercely, Song Xu immediately realized that he had woken up, and tentatively stretched out her hand. As soon as she reached out, the snake immediately opened its mouth and let out a short hiss. Song Xu

retracted her hand and saw that there was still blood on it from cutting the wings of the primitive beast. She understood that she would first rub a handful of snow to wash the smell off her hands, and then try to communicate the smell with the confused snake.

This time, she stretched her hand in front of the snake's mouth, and he really didn't breathe out. Instead, he kept spitting out his tongue repeatedly, as if he was confirming and identifying her smell.

Song Xu looked at his snake face, and always felt that he seemed to be wondering about something, wondering who she was? Wondering why her smell was familiar?

Song Xu had indeed heard from a snake friend that the stupid snake at home forgot its shit shoveling owner's branch after hibernation and had to get familiar with it again, but she never thought that she, the companion of a snake orc, would also encounter the same situation.

The snake's tongue touched her palm, and Song Xu suddenly caught the tongue that was spitting out, which scared the snake, which was trying to identify the smell. It suddenly retracted its tongue, retracted its head, and observed her silently.

Song Xu didn't know whether he remembered the identities of both parties in his big head, but she was sure that he was no longer in the mode of attacking people indiscriminately. Her courage increased exponentially, and she rolled over into a squirrel and rolled to the side of the snake.

She lay on her back with her legs kicked on the snake, dragging a corner of the bear skin to cover herself, and sighed tiredly: "I'm so tired."

The big snake raised his head to look at the squirrel next to him. The fire crackled twice, and he lowered his head and tentatively rested his head on the squirrel.

The warm, soft, and furry belly rose and fell under his head.

Song Xu pinched the big snake's snout: "Bao, do you remember who I am?"

Red-eyed snake Bao ignored her.

"What a disaster! My young husband has become a vegetable and has been sleeping for two months! To make matters worse! He was attacked again and suffered a brain injury and became mentally retarded! His wife has never left him and has been guarding the cold cave for eighteen years!" The squirrel grabbed his ears and said. "

...Still no response, it's terrible that he can't even understand what I say!"

"Did you fall asleep again or what?"

Song Xu chatted with the snake for most of the night, and fell asleep because he couldn't bear it anymore. When he woke up, the snake was still the same, and he didn't turn into a half-orc.

If she hadn't startled him when she got up, and the snake hadn't spit out its tongue, Song Xu would have thought he had fallen asleep again. Generally speaking, if the environment is suitable, he will continue to sleep. Is he unable to sleep?

Looking at the confused snake and then at her damaged home, Song Xu staggered to her feet. She

had only cleaned up yesterday, but today she had to rescue some of her tools that were trapped under the rocks and put the scattered food in new places. Also, the primitive beast wings used for emergencies could not be used forever, so she had to make a raft to replace them.

While Song Xu was busy packing up, she picked up the tiger tooth necklace that she had thrown aside in a hurry yesterday, and then she remembered this. She wiped the necklace with snow and carried it back to the cave to show Wumu.

"Wumu, look, what is this?"

She stayed outside for a long time. When she approached Wumu again, he hissed a little fiercely. If it were a human's words, it would probably be like saying, "Don't come over."

Song Xu: "..."

She stopped and slowly approached: "Wumu? You didn't forget me again, did you?"

It seemed to be true. He was a little stupid and his memory had declined. After a few minutes, the snake spit out its tongue and felt her breath enough. It probably remembered that she was an acquaintance. The hissing stopped with a choke, and it made a cute curl towards her tongue.

Song Xu rubbed him hard and dangled the tiger tooth necklace in front of his eyes. Small colorful stones were strung together as decoration, separating four tiger teeth, two large and two small.

Wumu did not respond.

"This is your mother's tooth. Spit out your tongue and smell it. Isn't this the smell?" Song Xu put down the necklace.

The snake slowly spit out its tongue and smelled it for a while. Song Xu waited for a long time before he suddenly understood and put his head on the necklace.
