Chapter 1283: A Terror and Treacherous Island
With an exclamation, everyone stopped, and Tang Chuxue immediately blocked in front of Jiang Xingchen and asked, "What's the situation?"
"Lots of snakes, and ...... Very strange!" The private soldier in front of him trembled a little, and there was a fear in his tone.
Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue frowned, these private soldiers were all old men who had followed Jiang Xingchen for many years, each of them had seen blood killing, and the crossbows, mountain knives, and grenades specially made by Jiang Xingchen in the cursed land made on their bodies, what made them so frightened.
"I'll take a look, don't move!" Tang Chuxue said.
"Let's go together!" Jiang Xingchen grabbed Tang Chuxue's hand and said in a low voice: "It's better for you to be by my side!"
Tang Chuxue's heart trembled, it was obvious that he was protecting Jiang Xingchen, but listening to his tone, it seemed that he was protecting himself, but he still felt very relieved.
"Okay!" Tang Chuxue smiled, and the two held hands and walked quickly to the front. Ten private soldiers had already drawn their grenades, and their whole bodies were tense as if they were facing a great enemy.
When the two stepped forward to take a look, they suddenly had goosebumps, and their scalps were a little numb. I saw a small pond in front of me, and the surrounding trees, shore, and even the water were full of snakes, densely packed, and I felt terrible when I looked at it. What's even more terrifying is that these snakes writhed violently as if they were in great pain, and Jiang Xingchen turned to his stomach at that scene.
Originally, the forest was full of life under the sun, but this moment made everyone feel a touch of gloom and horror.
"What's going on?" Tang Chuxue frowned, she had never seen such a strange scene. Not to mention Jiang Xingchen, there are very few snakes in the Xingchen Territory area, and they have seen them in the vast depths, but those big pythons are all demon beasts, although they are terrifying. But nowhere near as weird as these snakes are now.
"There are many poisonous snakes in the south, let's go around!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Okay, let's go around!" Although Tang Chuxue's martial arts are world-renowned, he is also very reluctant to touch these disgusting things.
But just as they beckoned the privates to prepare to retreat, another even more frightening change appeared, as if the snakes that were writhing violently suddenly spasmed. It didn't writhe anymore, and the snake's body stretched straight. The snakes in the trees fell like rain, and the snakes in the water turned white and floated on the water......
"I'm dead!" It was as if there was a force in the darkness forcibly absorbing the lives of those snakes! Jiang Xingchen was not a timid person originally, but at this time, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
Finally, all the movement was gone, the trees were still trees, the sun was still sunshine, and from time to time there were a few bird calls that broke the silence. If it weren't for the shriveled corpses of those snakes. Everyone thought that the hallucination had just occurred.
After a while, one of the private soldiers let out a sigh of relief, jumped out, and soon returned with a snake corpse in his hand.
Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue couldn't help but gasp again when they saw it, and only then did they see clearly that the snake's body was almost skin and bones, and there was not much meat at all.
"Why are these snakes so thin, why are they dying here at the same time, how did they die?" these questions popped up one after another, and the more I thought about it, the more terrifying I felt.
"This island is too weird!" Jiang Xingchen also wanted to develop tourism on this island before. I don't have that kind of thought anymore when I kill him. Not only that, but he couldn't even feel the heat.
"Sir. Shall we go?" asked one of the privates, swallowing his saliva.
"Ahh
"Yes!" the private soldier replied, and was about to move on.
"Change the direction and go around!" Tang Chuxue said. She worries that the snakes are not all dead, in case they are accidentally bitten.
Bypassing this place, it was already approaching evening, and Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue both calmed down.
"What happened just now, do you think the black-robed man would know the reason?" Tang Chuxue asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xingchen thought for a moment. "You should know!" or maybe that's why they brought us here...... But it's useless to ask them, they won't say!"
"Well, then we can only let everyone be more careful!" Tang Chuxue nodded.
As they walked on, their expressions became more and more solemn, and all kinds of bones were constantly found in the primeval rainforest. Some resemble wild beasts, while others resemble domestic animals.
"People!" suddenly the privates exclaimed again.
Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue ran over to take a look, and sure enough, they saw a dried corpse, it seemed that it had not been dead for a long time, and the skin was still there, but it was wrapped in bones, and it was no different from a skeleton.
"There are actually dead people here!" Tang Chuxue squinted and said in a low voice, "Xingchen, do you feel very similar to the snake corpse before?"
"It's all skinny, and it's so thin...... However, with such a high temperature and humidity here, it is really incredible that the corpse can still remain intact, and maggots are usually born a long time ago!" Jiang Xingchen said with the discomfort in his stomach.
Tang Chuxue looked left and right, frowned, and said, "Have you noticed that there are not many mosquitoes and flies in this tropical jungle?"
"It seems to be!" After being reminded by Tang Chuxue, Jiang Xingchen noticed that there were indeed not many mosquitoes and flies in the forest.
"This pristine rainforest, or the whole island, is full of quirks...... Huh?" Tang Chuxue was just about to drag Jiang Xingchen out of here when she spoke, and her eyes suddenly fixed on a place.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xingchen immediately followed Tang Chuxue's gaze and couldn't help but exclaim: "Black widow!"
Twenty or thirty meters to their right there was a clearing, where no trees grew, and among the weeds and shrubs there were dozens of black flowers, none other than Black Widow.
"There are indeed a lot of black widows growing on this island, and there are dozens of them!" Jiang Xingchen glanced back at the black-robed man and Master Sang in the distance, they didn't lie about this.
The private soldiers also saw it, and without waiting for Jiang Xingchen's orders, they ran over to prepare to pick the black widow.
But when they ran to them, it was as if they had stepped on the ground, and they stirred up a cloud of dust.
The two didn't care, and swept it casually and started picking flowers. Jiang Xingchen frowned in the back, always feeling that something was wrong.
Soon the private soldiers took all the black widows back, took out a bag and put it in, and then the group set off again......
The sun was turning westward, and the sky was getting darker. And at this time, the advancing team finally found a place to stay. There is a huge rock on the top of the mountain, there are no trees around, it is all weeds, and there is a small stream formed by an underground spring.
"Let's camp here tonight!" Tang Chuxue said to Jiang Xingchen.
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, beckoning the private soldiers to set up a camp tent and prepare to eat.
The black-robed man and Master Sang were pressed by the private soldiers and sat under the rock, looked left and right, and then lowered their heads, a sneer appeared on the corner of their mouths. (To be continued......)
