C248 The Appearance of a Strong Enemy
1Or it could be said that to him, he did not wish for such a massive snake to appear, because that would be even more dangerous than facing Jia Mingyu's group.
A python that was ten centimeters in diameter and two to three meters long was enough to kill an adult male.
Furthermore, snakes were social animals. The appearance of a single snake meant that there was a group of snakes nearby.
If there really was such a large snake, there would be hundreds of snakes around it.
Wang Han weighed the pros and cons in his heart, but his footsteps suddenly slowed down. He waved his hand behind him, signaling Jiang Chen and Wu Tie to hide behind the tree trunk with him.
He carefully pointed forward. Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong both stuck their heads out to look.
With a single glance, the two of them saw what was inside the forest and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
In the forest forty to fifty meters in front of them, almost every tree had at least one snake of different colors.
Most of these snakes were coiled on the branches. Some of them were motionless, while others slowly moved their bodies. From time to time, they would spit out their scarlet tongues, making them look extremely horrifying and horrifying.
Generally speaking, to determine whether a snake was poisonous or not, one would have to judge by its color and size. The more vivid the color, the greater the toxicity.
These snakes are too bright, so they must be very toxic. Therefore, if we want to pass through here, it will be extremely difficult, and the snakes are very sensitive to changes in temperature and smell. At this distance, we are already very close to the limit of our safety, and if we go a few more meters forward, we will be discovered by the snakes.
Wang Han whispered to Jiang Chen.
The snakes had poor hearing, but that didn't mean they couldn't hear anything.
On the contrary, the snakes were very sensitive to minute vibrations. Relying on their sensitivity to minute vibrations deep underground, they were able to predict the arrival of an earthquake even earlier and more accurately than other animals.
"Show me the map."
Jiang Chen took the map from Wang Han, opened it and read it carefully.
According to the markings on the map, this was the final destination, so this was the last perilous place.
Other than this, there was no other way to get to that place. At least, that was the mark on the map.
Looks like we still have to go over here!
Jiang Chen glanced at the colorful snakes in the forest and felt chills in his heart.
These things were definitely not to be trifled with. If one were to randomly take a bite, that would be a matter of life or death!
"Since this is the only way, then we'll find a place to hide and wait for the middle-aged man's arrival. We'll see how they'll get through this place, so the worst we can do is force our way in."
Jiang Chen's tone was heavy. Coming here after going through countless difficulties, it was definitely impossible to go back empty-handed.
Therefore, he couldn't be in a hurry now. The possibility of him trying to force his way in wasn't high, so he decided to do it wisely.
After all, there was a group of middle-aged men behind them, so Jiang Chen and the other two didn't dare to act rashly.
If something went wrong here, not only would they have to face the lack of medicine, but they would also have to face the pursuit of the middle-aged man and the others.
They didn't need the safety of those snakes at all. This was already a foregone conclusion.
The three of them quietly climbed three thick trees and plucked some branches to disguise themselves. They hid at a position near the top of the trees with good eyesight.
It was already close to evening, and the sky was gradually getting darker. The scenery in front of his eyes began to become blurry.
Jiang Chen and the other two didn't dare to turn on the flashlight while hiding in the tree, so they could only listen carefully to the surroundings.
With a "shua shua" sound of the wind blowing, a few of the snakes in the forest suddenly moved without moving, twisting their bodies and crawling towards the ground.
All three of them were alert. Something seemed to have happened.
The snakes didn't come towards Jiang Chen and the others, but wriggled their bodies and crawled into the darkness deep in the forest.
In the quiet forest, a strong light suddenly burst out.
Ye Zichen looked over, it was a bunch of people walking over from the direction Jiang Chen's group came from.
The leader was a gunner with a powerful flashlight. Behind him, Jia Yuming and Yuan Zi were at the center of the team.
Jia Yuming's expression was serious as he scanned his surroundings. Then, he opened his mouth and whispered a few words to Yuan Zi.
Yuan Zi nodded and took out his two handguns from his waist. Then, he took two steps forward and walked in front of Jia Yuming.
It was obvious that Jia Yuming knew that there was a forest covered in poisonous snakes not far in front of them, so he warned them to be careful.
The three remaining gunners in the team were tightly grasping their guns, and they were also tightly grabbing onto their own lives.
Jiang Chen saw that Jia Yuming was holding something in his hand that was emitting a bright light. He could vaguely feel the Vital Spirit flowing out from Jia Yuming's body and spreading out a little in the air.
It seemed like that thing was the trump card that he had not used for a long time, and it was not far from his destination. He did not need to keep it any longer, so he took out his trump card to prepare from time to time.
Jia Yuming had probably used the thing in his hand before because he was infuriated by him, but he didn't see it at the time, so he wasn't sure what the specific function was.
According to Fu Shidong's guess, Jia Yuming was an expert in magic, so the item in his hand was most likely a magic weapon. At the very least, it could amplify the power of a spell.
Actually, the Medicinal Jade in Jiang Chen's own hands could also be barely counted as a magic tool. However, the effect was single.
Therefore, Jiang Chen wouldn't carry the Medicinal Jade with him often, nor would he use the Medicinal Jade to cast spells. It would be a complete waste.
Yet, Jia Yuming held that thing tightly in his hand. It was obvious that this thing was very important to him.
In the secular world, there were very few things that could be used to increase the might of a magic technique, let alone those that could be used as weapons.
The magic tools were rare, and they were divided into two categories. One was naturally formed, so it was very spiritual; the other was artificially refined. Most of those who possessed magic tools were naturally crafted by crafting methods.
Jia Yuming and the others carefully moved forward. When they passed by the big tree below the three of them, they didn't notice anyone hiding there.
He must have been focusing all his attention on the danger that was about to arrive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have missed a thing.
If it was in Jia Yuming's position, as long as his senses were spread around, he would be able to easily detect someone on the tree nearby, not to mention Jia Yuming who was proficient in magical arts. This kind of person's perception was usually much sharper than normal.
After walking a distance, Jia Yuming nodded and indicated the root.
He switched on his powerful light flashlight and scanned the forest ahead of him.
Suddenly, their pupils contracted. They were just as surprised as Jiang Chen and the other two when they saw the numerous snakes in the forest.
Jia Yuming's face also flashed a hint of shock, as if he didn't expect that there would be so many snakes here.
He had never been here before, so his understanding of this place depended entirely on what others said. Although he believed that the information he had obtained was very accurate, he did not expect this final change.
