This was indeed a problem. Lin Changli wanted to stay behind to protect Kongsang, but he couldn't. He knew Kongsang wouldn't last long, and he had to make sure he could get the snake spirit's energy to feed Kongsang.
"Alright, let's go together then." As long as he doesn't die, he won't let anything happen to Kongsang.
They acted immediately. Kong Sang's health was beyond the reach of the hospital, and there was no point in resting here.
It then transformed into a human-shaped backpack, which Lin Changli carried on his back.
After organizing their weapons and ammunition and clarifying the situation with the police, the group immediately got into action and set off.
Bai Luo followed her senses and led the way.
Xiping was named as such because it is a plain with fertile soil and abundant water resources, making it very suitable for crop growth.
Xiping has a large variety of snake species because of the abundance of lakes and dense forests.
Bai Luo sensed the distance quite far, so the group drove there. Later, they reached a point where cars couldn't go any further, and then they started walking.
They had been driving for quite some time and were probably already at the edge of Xiping.
The group brought out a map of Xiping and eventually discovered that the location Bai Luo sensed was a naturally formed basin on the edge of Xiping.
Seeing this, the men's expressions were not good. They had come to Xiping on business, and naturally they had done their background checks. This basin was considered the most dangerous area in Xiping.
Even locals from Xiping wouldn't go there; one wrong move and they'd be trapped, never to escape.
Because of abundant water and moist soil, and because the area is a basin, it has long formed a huge swamp. You may not see anything at first glance, but if you step on it, you will be submerged...
In a place like this, fighting the snake spirit is simply testing how long one's life can last.
But having come this far, there's no turning back; we have no choice but to grit our teeth and keep going.
To prevent anyone from falling into the trap, the group tied themselves together with ropes around their waists and walked in a vertical line, so that if someone fell in, they could be rescued.
The huge basin was full of grass, but most of it was yellowish-brown, and the smell of decay was very obvious.
Si Yu had no choice but to become the leader of the team, with Xu Lin following closely behind.
This trip has truly broadened Xu Lin's horizons. Looking at this desolate place that no one dares to come to, besides fear, a secret excitement is also faintly emerging in his heart.
Perhaps it is in a man's nature to be adventurous and conquer, and at this moment Xu Lin understood why so many people like extreme adventure.
Looking at Xu Lin's expression, Bai Luo teased, "If your legs aren't weak anymore, then stand firm. If you sink, no one will pay attention to you."
Xu Lin immediately reverted to his original state and said seriously, "If saving my Xiao Luo will be dangerous, then you must not save her. Don't risk your life like last time. Seeing how badly you're injured, I'd rather die."
Bai Luo's expression froze. She thought of how Xu Lin had already broken down emotionally even though she wasn't dead yet, and surprisingly, she didn't say anything to argue back.
Her tone softened considerably as she said, "Okay, next time I'll leave you there to take the bullets while I run away."
Xu Lin immediately affirmed, "Yes, yes, that's exactly how it should be done."
Upon hearing this, Kong Sang, who was lying obediently on Lin Changli's back, smiled slightly, indicating that the two were getting closer to marriage.
As the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," and Si Yuguang was the first to step into the swamp, waiting with a gloomy expression for everyone to pull him out.
While being dragged, Si Yu suddenly had a strange expression, and then looked at his trapped feet with a look of nausea.
With a contorted face, he set the fire on fire, completely disregarding the risk that his own feet might turn into roasted pig's trotters.
With a grim expression, he leaned forward and said, "It's disgusting! They're all alive!"
The group was taken aback when they heard this. They watched as Si Yu disgustedly cleaned the surface of his boots. Indeed, many wriggling things were dried and fell off by the flames, emitting a meaty aroma.
Lan Ye found a stick and dug up the lawn above the ground where he had just stepped.
“Ugh…” Xu Lin gagged.
The others also looked grim. The mud was teeming with tiny snakes, their bodies covered in mud and tangled together, making it impossible to discern their true nature.
The image of clumps of wriggling and twisting together is very striking. Coupled with the fact that this entire basin is likely a huge snake nest, and they are standing on a dense mass of small snakes, it is hard to have a pleasant impression.
Bai Luo looked at the surrounding area, her face blank, and asked, "If all of these are... how many lines are there exactly?"
Suddenly I can't look at this huge area directly anymore; I'll probably have a phobia of it even when I go back to eat noodles.
Lin Changli asked, "Where is the location you sensed?"
Bai Luo was silent for a moment before saying, "It's probably in the center, but it's strange... it was a bit blurry when I got closer, but now I'm sure it's in two different locations."
Lan Ye frowned: "Two seats?"
"Yes, there are two places that I feel threatened by. We were far apart before, but these two places are relatively close, which gave me the illusion that they are in the same place."
"Now that I'm getting closer, I'm certain there are two locations. If this sensation is from a snake spirit... then could there be two of them?"
Lin Changli's expression changed, and as if he had thought of something, he immediately handed Kongsang to Lan Ye to carry.
He untied the rope and said, "If you all stay here in Kongsang, you won't even get any soup if you're late. Nie Jingxing will definitely be here."
After speaking, his body turned into liquid and vanished without giving anyone a chance to react.
"Hey, take me with you... it's like water and fire working together, double the effort, give me a chance to show off!" Si Yu shouted unwillingly.
Unfortunately, Lin Changli had already gone far away, and Si Yuchun was just spitting on the air.
As soon as Lin Changli left, Kong Sang's spirit, which she had been holding on to, relaxed. She didn't even have the strength to support her head and lay on Lan Ye's shoulder. In fact, she had been feeling weaker and weaker for a long time, but she had been holding on for fear of distracting Lin Changli.
Lan Ye noticed and pulled the person into his arms from behind. Seeing Kong Sang's frail appearance, his expression changed: "Nie Kong Sang, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't cause any trouble for me! You can still pretend when Lin Changli is around, but you're half dead as soon as he leaves. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
He had always sensed Kong Sang's weakness, but he never expected it to have reached this point; he would have believed it if you told him he was about to die.
Si Yu quickly walked over and looked at Kong Sang with concern: "What happened?"
Bai Luo clenched her fingers: "It might be related to the energy and effort I expended saving you."
For some reason, Lan Ye quickly pulled out a box of bandages and stuffed it into Kong Sang's mouth. The bandages were a product of his hard work, and since Nie Kong Sang was anemic, these things should be of some use.
They said they would control him with bandages, but Kongsang never actually did that. Instead, he gave him a whole box of bandages, one every three months, which would be enough for him to eat for a long time.
Right now, they stuffed everything into Kong Sang's mouth and then roughly poured a mouthful of water down her throat to help her swallow. Surprisingly, it did have some effect.
At least his peach blossom eyes are open.
Kong Sang looked at Lan Ye with resentment, as if trying to choke her to death.
With a weak grip, she wrapped her arms around Lan Ye's neck and pulled him closer. As Lan Ye's eyelids twitched, she buried her face in his neck and bit him.
The scalding blood entered her throat, and the energy within it, which shared the same origin as hers, made her feel somewhat better.
