247: C247 Escape

C247 Escape

Jiang Chen said.

The three of them were also in the fog, and were only close to the edge of the Misty Forest, so the fog wasn't enough to affect their line of sight.

A temporary rest here was the best solution. The three of them didn't sleep much tonight. Aside from resting for two hours earlier, they had been setting up traps the whole time.

He still had a long way to go. He had to stop and recuperate his mind to finish what he needed to do next!

One day in China, the world has been a thousand years, time in the mountains is invisible to the sun, so people's concept of time will be very thin.

If Fu Shidong didn't wear a watch, he would only be able to distinguish how much time had passed by day and night due to knowing the exact time.

But that was not accurate. It could even mislead the judge.

At seven in the morning, Jiang Chen woke up slowly and woke the two of them up.

The three of them simply ate some cold steamed buns. This place was too close to the Misty Forest, so lighting a fire was too dangerous. Thus, they just took a bite and the three of them hurriedly set off.

The time left for the three of them was pretty good. There was an unknown danger ahead of them, but they were being chased after. Jiang Chen wanted to be as fast as he could.

If they arrived early, they would be in less danger.

The three of them advanced for quite some time. It was already past 2 in the afternoon. They gathered by a tree to rest and eat some food to replenish their stamina.

"Brother, how powerful is this spear that you've been carrying?"

While they were eating, Jiang Chen and Wang Han chatted.

They didn't have any ranged weapons, so Wang Han's gun became their only ranged weapon.

Although he had used a wooden spike to ambush Jia Mingyu and the others, he still couldn't use the same trick a second time. After Jia Mingyu suffered a loss once, she would definitely be on guard.

If it hit a vital spot within fifty meters, it would be fatal, but a little further and its power would be greatly reduced. This gun of mine is shot with bullets, so its lethality can only be maintained within a short distance.

Wang Han explained. Although he and Jiang Chen had just killed Jia Mingyu's subordinates not long ago, he had his bottom line. If Jiang Chen told him to kill someone, he definitely wouldn't do it.

"Hm!" Very well, this gun may be the key to our self-defense. "

Jiang Chen nodded. He already had a plan in mind, but he didn't say anything.

After a short period of rest, the three of them continued moving forward. According to the map they obtained from Jia Mingyu, the distance to their destination was no more than half a day.

However, it would be dark soon. The moment it was dark, the situation in the forest would become difficult to figure out, and changes would suddenly occur.

Therefore, Jiang Chen planned to wait a while even if he could get there tonight. After all, through his contact with Jia Mingyu, he figured out some tricks.

That place seemed to have some other frightening things besides the Red Jade Dew Fruit. That was why he was so careful on the way here. He didn't even hesitate to sacrifice his subordinates.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had forced him into a corner and tricked him once, he probably would've been too patient to do anything in the Misty Forest.

His patience was good, but he was tricked once by himself, so he probably didn't have much to grind.

On the way, his surroundings changed.

Some of the trees in the forest had been beaten or rubbed against each other.

The scratches were very wide and very large. The smallest was nearly thirty centimeters long while the largest was close to seventy centimeters.

It was obvious that something that could leave a scratch on the trunk must have been a great reminder. And judging from the shape of the scratch, it looked like it came from something that looked like a rope.

How could there be such a big rope in the deep mountains and in the old forest? Such a thick rope made people suspicious.1

"There are many small fragments of scales left on this tree trunk. If you look carefully, they look like snake scales."

As Wang Han walked, he observed the surrounding trees. With his decades of experience as a hunter, it was not hard to distinguish some traces in the forest. What kind of animals had left those marks.

"A snake with a diameter of nearly seventy centimeters, wouldn't that mean that this snake has become a spirit?"

Fu Shidong mumbled.

"Humans can cultivate their own bodies, but so can animals. You've never seen one before, so you can't just say there aren't any."

Jiang Chen's eyes became serious. If Jia Mingyu paid attention to a giant snake that seemed to be connected to the soul, then this matter would be very difficult to deal with.

The size of animals in the natural world was restricted by genes. No matter how much they ate, the genes that determined the size of animals would prevent them from developing too much.

However, the traces left here, combined with Wang Han's experience, clearly showed that the things here were not ordinary animals.

Its body size had already surpassed that of an ordinary creature, so there was only one possibility. This animal was almost sentient. By breaking the limit of its genes, it was able to achieve such an extraordinary body size.

However, breaking the rules was simple, and doing it was not easy at all.

Even human science had not been able to break the limit of their genes.

"I seem to know what's going on."

A ray of light suddenly flashed across Jiang Chen's eyes. If everything originated from the treasure land that bore the Red Jade Dew Fruit, then it would be easy to explain.

The reason why it was able to break the rules and grow so big was all because of the treasure land, and it must have also gained some intelligence. It knew that the Red-Jade Dew Fruit, which was also a precious treasure land, was also very precious, which was why it would reject outsiders.

This was also the reason why Jia Mingyu had to be careful with everything and keep her methods to deal with it.

Now that he thought about it, everything made sense.

Red Jade Dew Fruit was not something ordinary. Since humans knew that it was very precious, even snakes with intelligence would know that it was extraordinary.

Moreover, it was very likely that it had grown up with the Red-Jade Dew Fruit. To it, this fruit had a special meaning, and it would desperately protect it.

"Let's go!" No matter what is ahead of us, we must reach there before the middle-aged man and the others. "

Jiang Chen nodded to the two of them. They had already arrived, and there was no turning back, so they could only keep going forward.

As the three of them continued forward, not only did the road ahead show tree trunks, but even broken trees.

Some of the trees were broken at the waist, while some of the branches were scattered on the ground, looking very miserable.

Broken bones could be seen everywhere in the forest. Most of these broken bones were very small. Their surfaces were full of potholes, as if they had been corroded by strong acid.

The way a snake eats is to digest its prey's corpse with digestive juices. However, some of the horned serpents with fur, claws, and bones can't be digested, so they can only be spat out. These bones are things that aren't laughed at by the digestive juices.

Wang Han explained as he walked.

Right now, he hadn't seen any large animal bones, so it was still too early to judge if there really was a huge snake here.
