Ji Huaichuan thought that this snake must be new.
At the moment the snake's head attacked, Zhang Qiling drew out his knife and chopped at the snake in two steps. The second before the blade landed on the snake's head, a tree trunk as thick as a wrist pierced out from the snake's head.
Zhang Qiling turned the blade and chopped it from the other direction, splitting the snake into two pieces, with its head still struggling.
Ji Huaichuan pressed the tree trunk hard against the ground, and no matter how the snake struggled, it couldn't get free. Ji Huaichuan supported the tree trunk with one hand and touched the snake's head with the other, and said with a sigh, "Although I like you little creatures, it doesn't mean that I can be your food."
"Are you okay?" Zhang Qiling grabbed Ji Huaichuan and looked him up and down for a long time, almost taking off his clothes to look at him again.
Ji Huaichuan paused, his eyes reddening instantly, "Yes! My hands are all red from rubbing them. Look, they're peeling here!"
As he said this, he extended his hand to Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling blew a few breaths of air on his hand with a serious face. This was a method taught to him by Ji Huaichuan. He said that blowing on it would make the pain go away.
Aning couldn't bear to watch it, whispered "spoiled", and turned to get her luggage.
The fat man put his arm around Pan Zi's shoulder and said, "Hiss... Is this Xiao Chuan'er so powerful?"
"He must be powerful, after all, his master is powerful." Pan Zi said.
Wu Xie also heard it, "Xiao Chuan'er is really amazing! When we were in Devil City, Xiao Chuan'er grabbed An Ning in a snap, and An Ning didn't even have time to react!"
Over there, Wuxie was blowing rainbow farts like crazy, and over here, two young lovers were still flirting. It seemed that no one was in a hurry except Aning. Aning shouted helplessly: "Let's go, we don't have much time!"
Only then did they set off again.
"To be precise, this is a rainforest in the desert. Look, this place looks more like a snake's nest than a swamp, but this also means that we are not far from Wu Sansheng." Hei Xiazi said leisurely, his arm around Jie Yuchen's shoulder.
Xie Yuchen patted Hei Xiazi's hand and said, "Well, let's go."
After that, the two continued to walk forward, but they didn't notice the small red snake that came out from the corner. It was a pheasant neck.
…
Wuxie leaned against a big rock and gasped for breath. Fatty and Panzi were almost exhausted and collapsed on the ground. Aning supported his leg with one hand and held the big rock with the other hand. He was also very tired.
Ji Huaichuan and Zhang Qiling sat on a big rock, one with his head down and motionless, while the other had red eyes and a look of heartache.
"Does it hurt? It hit such a thick tree stump directly. I even heard the noise." Ji Huaichuan rubbed Zhang Qiling's shoulders, choking with sobs as he spoke.
"I'm fine, don't cry."
As Zhang Qiling spoke, he gently pulled Ji Huaichuan's hair. This spoiled boy hadn't been like this for a long time, and he couldn't cry because of him.
"Take a break and go back to find equipment later."
It turned out that these people were attacked by a snake tide while on their way, and almost lost all their equipment while running away.
"No, it's too risky to go back. The snake tide came strangely, and we don't know if it has retreated." The fat man refused.
"We lost not only equipment but also supplies. Before we find Wu Sansheng, we must ensure that we can survive." Aning said.
"That's easy for you to say. When the snake tide came just now, we were just running around. We couldn't find where the equipment fell!" The fat man retorted.
"Alright, I still have some supplies here. Any equipment or something will be enough. Don't make things difficult for yourself. Rest here for five minutes, then continue on your way."
Ji Huaichuan originally wanted to say that if they went back to find equipment and encountered a snake tide, Pan Zi would have to protect Wuxie, and Fatty would be unable to take care of himself, so it would most likely be Zhang Qiling who would take action, and he couldn't bear to let her go.
The topic ended, the fat man went to chat with Wuxie, Aning went to the water to clean the dagger, Ji Huaichuan sensed a strange breath and followed.
Ji Huaichuan walked over to Aning and squatted beside her. "Your knife is quite good. It's quite sharp."
Aning raised her head and glanced at him, then said, "It's okay, but it's been a while, so it's not as good as before."
Ji Huaichuan smiled but said nothing. A strange breath kept approaching. It was a snake. Ji Huaichuan looked up at the water surface. A red snake suddenly jumped out. Before Aning could react, the dagger in her hand that had just been cleaned had changed hands.
"Be careful!" Wuxie shouted.
The dagger pierced through the snake's body, and the snake hung limply on it. Ji Huaichuan shook the snake off and handed the dagger back to Aning. "I told you that you would have good luck. You just need to clean the dagger again. It's still quite useful."
Seeing Ji Huaichuan about to leave, Aning called out to him, "Wait a minute!"
Ji Huaichuan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you for what you did just now." Aning said.
Ji Huaichuan laughed, waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, just consider it as me fulfilling my promise."
Afterwards, they pulled Zhang Qiling, who had come running after hearing the noise, away from the water's edge. Wuxie and the others also heard the noise, but when they came over, it was already over.
"Aning, are you okay?" Wuxie looked at Aning nervously, wanting to check on her, but finally held back.
"It's okay, thanks to Ji Huaichuan, otherwise I might have been a corpse." Aning said with a smile.
"Why is this pheasant neck haunting us? The snake tide didn't knock us down just now, and it chased us here." The fat man patted his chest, still feeling scared. He was really scared just now.
"That thing holds a grudge. We can't stay here anymore. Let's leave quickly." Ji Huaichuan said from behind.
…
"We have been walking for such a long time and haven't seen any trace. We are almost out of food. If we don't meet up with Wu Sansheng, we will only be able to eat snakes, insects, rats and ants in the future." Xie Yuchen said.
Hei Xia Zi sat on the rubble and suddenly turned his head. "In that case, we can have a BBQ!"
Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes at him and suddenly smelled something. "Hey, do you smell anything?"
Hei Xiazi took a closer look and said, "It's miasma, get out of here quickly!"
The two men picked up their backpacks and ran, and somehow they fell into a puddle.
"Hey? Those are two people in front, right?" Ji Huaichuan asked uncertainly.
"Looks familiar, let's go take a look!"
A few people ran over and took a look, "Oh! Isn't this Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi?"
"Hey, it's been so long since we last met. How come you two have grown so tired?" the fat man said with a smile.
"Okay, Fatty, help quickly!" Wuxie patted the Fatty's arm and urged.
"Oh ok!"
Several people carried Hei Xiazi and Jie Yuchen out of the puddle. Zhang Qiling checked them and said, "They're not dead."
"These two people are really lucky. I guess we can have a feast if we wait a little longer." The fat man said with a sigh.
"Fatty, speak with more respect. From now on, Black Glasses is my master. If you disrespect him, you are disrespecting me!" Wuxie said.
"Hey, since the person has agreed, you just recognize him as your master. Are you forcing him to do something?" the fat man said again.
"This... isn't it just a matter of time?" Wuxie instantly lost his confidence.
As he was speaking, Ji Huaichuan felt dizzy, and suddenly his eyes went white and he fell backwards.
