Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Search (Twenty-four)

Qian Jin looked at the dark cave, his heart was beating like a drum, but he had to bite the bullet and go in to find his companions.

Ning Helan came over and checked his legs: "Your legs are fine, you can try to walk by yourself."

Qian Jin nodded. He was scared just now, but now he has calmed down, rubbed his hands and feet, and then smiled at Ning Helan: "It's okay, you will be fine once you get used to it. After all, I am also a frequent hiker."

Ning Helan looked back at the giant python. It was a bit difficult for it to enter the cave due to its size, so he motioned for it to wait outside.

The giant python still had vines tied to its head, so it had to obey, so it nodded and coiled up a mosquito coil at the entrance of the cave.

Ning Helan took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. The bright light illuminated the way forward. Qian Jin was a little surprised to see Ning Helan's action. Ning Helan glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

"No, no," Qian Jin laughed, "I thought you would use some talisman paper to light a fire, or conjure fire out of thin air, like in TV dramas."

Ning Helan retracted his gaze: "You can light it, but I don't know what will happen later, so it's better to save some spiritual power."

The cave was very humid, and there were moss vegetation everywhere that liked shade and moisture, and there was a pungent and unpleasant smell in the air.

Ning Helan covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and Yun Yan and Qian Jin also covered their noses with their sleeves.

"This smell is so bad, fishy and choking... Could this be the evil spirit you are talking about?" Qian Jin asked.

"No... This should just be the smell of a venomous snake..." Yun Yan said.

Qian Jin couldn't help but get goosebumps after hearing this. With such a strong smell, how many snakes must be in here.

The rocks in the cave are uneven and look very slippery. Ning Helan reached out and touched it. The rocks on the cave wall were not completely damp, and there was some mucus, which might be the traces of snakes crawling.

The further you go into the cave, the more you can see signs of snakes crawling everywhere, and the pungent smell is getting stronger and stronger. Not only that, the evil spirit is also getting stronger and stronger.

After walking for another ten minutes, the road suddenly tilted. As the ground was wet and slippery, Qian Jin lost his balance and slipped, falling down. The speed was getting faster and faster, and it seemed that he would not be able to stop the car and fall into the big pit below.

Ning Helan followed him by sliding diagonally. He lowered his body and quickly approached Qian Jin. Then he stepped on the edge of the slope with his long legs, grasped the protrusion on the slope with one hand, and grabbed Qian Jin's arm with the other hand.

"Ning Helan!" Yun Yan was really shocked. It happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to react. He didn't expect that Ning Helan reacted in almost a second and rushed out.

Qian Jin's half body flew out, and he was pulled back to the slope by Ning Helan.

Ning Helan lowered her eyes and looked down at the big pit below the slope. The pit was full of snakes, conservatively estimated to be thousands of them. They were either coiled on one side or entangled with each other, and their mouths kept hissing. Under their bodies was mud mixed with bones and flesh. The smell of blood, decay, and fermentation of microorganisms spread throughout the pit, and one breath made people feel nauseous.

Qian Jin was shocked and frightened when he saw the chilling scene in front of him, and he vomited with a wow.

Yun Yan slid down holding Ji Ge in one hand and pinching his nose with the other hand. When he saw the scene in the pit, his face was also ugly.

Ning Helan pulled Qian Jin to the side and began to carefully examine the snake pit.

The snakes in it did not look like ordinary snakes, but small snake monsters. The white bones and bloody mud were probably creatures that had strayed into the pit by mistake. Judging from the bones, there were humans and animals.

In the corner of the snake pit, poisonous snakes were piled up in layers. Looking closely, there was something glowing underneath them.

"Yun Yan."

"Here."

Yun Yan carefully approached Ning Helan on the slippery slope: "What's wrong?"

Ning Helan pointed to the glowing place over there: "Can you see what that is?"

Yun Yan squinted in the direction of his finger: "The light here is dim, I can't see clearly... It seems... It seems to be an egg? Snake eggs?"

"Snake eggs?" Ning Helan looked at these snakes. It seemed normal to hatch snake eggs in a snake nest.

Qian Jin vomited for a long time before he recovered. He covered his mouth and looked into the snake pit. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his face turned ashen: "You...you look over there..."

Ning Helan and Yun Yan glanced at it. Across the snake eggs, there was a bunch of small snakes gathered together. There were several people lying under them. The small snakes were digging holes and digging the soil around them. The people lying were gradually buried in the soil.

"What are they doing?" Yun Yan was also puzzled when he saw the strange movements of the snake monsters.

"...burying people." Ning Helan understood that these snakes were burying food in the soil. It was unknown whether they were using these people as reserve food or fertilizer.

"Are they, are they dead?" Qian Jin's voice was hollow.

"I don't know." From where they were now, it was really hard to tell whether these people were still alive.

"What... should we do?" Yun Yan silently glanced at the talisman paper he brought with him. He didn't know if it was enough to deal with so many poisonous snakes, but conservatively speaking, it shouldn't be enough.

If he had known that he would encounter so many snakes, he would have asked the immortal for a magic weapon to protect himself, even a peach wood sword would be fine. Alas, miscalculated.

The light here is too dim. Ning Helan doesn't know if he will hurt the people inside if he takes action. Moreover, with so many poisonous snakes, if they start fighting later, he doesn't know if they will hurt Qian Jin's companions in the chaos.

"Click." The chicken brother poked his head out. Ning Helan glanced at it and had an idea in his mind.

In the snake cave, the three hid in a dark corner, watching Brother Ji staggering to the edge of the snake pit and clearing his throat: "Oh oh oh ~ ~"

The high-pitched ringing sound immediately resounded throughout the cave, and the poisonous snakes in the pit looked at Brother Ji.

"Click!" Brother Ji shook his comb.

"Hiss."

"Where did this ugly chicken come from?"

"Is it provoking us?"

"Hiss, I think so, hiss."

The snakes spoke.

"Fuck, they can actually talk!" Qian Jin just said a word and quickly covered his mouth, his face full of disbelief, lowering his voice and exclaiming again, "They can actually talk!"

"These are all little snakes that have become spirits, but I didn't expect that they can speak human language." Yun Yan was also a little surprised. "

Linglan Mountain is a fairy mountain with a long history. The creatures here are more spiritual than those in other places." Ning Helan said.

The group of snakes sent a few little snakes to crawl in front of Brother Ji. Brother Ji gurgled, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. He lowered his head and bit them one by one. He unexpectedly knocked down all the little snakes that were fighting in the vanguard at lightning speed.

"Click."

The snake group and Qian Jin were silent. This chicken is powerful! You can't judge a chicken by its appearance.

The snake group was enraged, and they stood up and stared at Brother Ji, spitting out scarlet snake tongues.

For a moment, the whole cave was filled with the hissing sounds of the snakes. Listening to these sounds, Yun Yan felt that he couldn't suppress the goose bumps on his body.

Facing the venomous snakes like a tide, Brother Ji turned around, raised his chicken butt, and shook his featherless tail.

Now the snakes were even more angry, and they rushed towards Brother Ji like crazy. The snake heads surged, as fierce as a rising tide, and seemed unstoppable.

Brother Ji spread his wings, turned around and ran outside: "Cluck!"

The group of snakes chased behind him: "Hiss!"

The three squatted in the corner and watched the snake tide rushing past them like a thousand horses galloping. The smell of evil and blood on the venomous snakes hit their noses, and they couldn't help but pinch their noses.

After waiting for a while, the sound of snakes disappeared from the cave. Ning Helan stood up and looked at the direction of the snakes, then signaled the other two to come out.

"Ning Helan, will the chicken be okay? Although it is not an ordinary chicken, there are too many snakes, right?" Yun Yan asked worriedly.

"It should be fine." Ning Helan said.

Yun Yan exclaimed: "You, you are not sure?"

Qian Jin also said beside him: "There must be several thousand snakes here, no matter how powerful the rooster is, it can't handle it, right?"

Ning Helan patted the clothes that had just been stained: "Don't worry, Brother Rooster is more powerful (useful) than you."

Yun Yan: ...

Qian Jin: ...

The two looked at each other, and it seemed that it was not their own tinnitus, but they did hear something else just now.

Sliding down the slope to the edge of the snake pit again, Ning Helan looked inside. There were only a few small snakes left, all curled up beside the snake eggs, looking like they were sleeping.

"These should be just ordinary snakes. The demonic aura on them is very faint. It is very likely that they have not yet been cultivated into demons." Yun Yan followed and said.

Ning Helan hummed. Although he didn't want to go into the snake pit, he would be dirty all over. Although he was disgusted, saving people was the most important thing.

So he tied his hair into a high ponytail behind his head again, rolled up his sleeves and jumped into the snake pit.

"Ning Helan!" Yun Yan was still hesitating beside him. Seeing Ning Helan jump in so decisively, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and follow him into the pit.

Qian Jin squatted on the pit with his nose covered. He didn't dare to go in. He couldn't help if he went in, so he didn't go in and hold them back.

The stench in the pit was so strong that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. The blood mud had almost piled up to an adult's calf, making it difficult to walk. Ning Helan covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and squinted her eyes as she walked towards the people.

Half of their bodies were buried in the ground in the real sense. Their faces were covered in blood and their eyes were tightly closed.

Ning Helan took out her cell phone and took pictures of their faces. They all had blue faces, black eye circles, and purple lips.

"Poisoned?" Ning Helan reached out and pulled the girl closest to her, and finally found two small red dots on her neck. The skin around the red dots had turned purple.

"It's snake venom, for sure." Yun Yan said. He also helped check the other four people. All of them were bitten by snakes in the same place. "They were all poisoned by snake venom."

Ning Helan's face darkened. He put his hand on the wrist of one of them and felt the weak and disordered breath in his body.

Qian Jin was worried. Seeing that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, he said anxiously: "Two, two Taoist priests, how are my companions? Are they okay? Are they still alive?"

"Still alive for now." Ning Helan finally spoke.

"Ning Helan, the snake venom must be detoxified quickly, otherwise I don't think they will survive." Yun Yan looked at the unconscious people worriedly, "It's a pity that I don't know how to detoxify. I saw my senior brothers use talisman paper and glutinous rice to detoxify before. Hey, I should have asked them to draw a few Qingxin Mantras for me."

"I know how."

"Huh? What did you say?"
