Chapter 28 The Viper

"Be careful, look at the road, the guide will only take us the shortest way, not the safest way, you must be careful."

A group of people followed the fireflies all the way to the depths of the jungle, listening to Perkin talking along the way.

Although Perkin's voice was not loud, it could be heard far away in the quiet night.

They were heading in the opposite direction to York's search for food, so they had walked out for nearly an hour, and they didn't see any traces of York.

At this time, Liu Zhi was also dazzled by their route, he always felt that the direction of these people had deviated from their goal.

There were several times when Liu Zhi didn't intend to chase after them anymore, but their attitude towards him before gave Liu Zhi a kind of obsession in his heart. If he didn't watch them all die, he would feel unhappy in his heart.

It was this thought that made Liu Zhi keep chasing after them.

But soon Liu Zhi saw the opportunity, he smelled a slimy smell like a giant snake in the air.

"The fourth one, what's wrong with this jungle, it's impossible for this kind of place to support so many giant snakes."

While grumbling, Liu Zhi gave up following Perkin and the others, and dived towards the direction where the breath of the giant snake came from.

After a while, Liu Zhi saw the giant snake swimming down the tree from a distance.

The giant snake in front of him was smaller than the previous ones, but Liu Zhi didn't dare to underestimate the existence of this guy, because this guy was different from the previous ones, it had a triangular head.

"How is this possible? Poisonous snakes can grow so big. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Zhi looked at his discovery with disbelief. Compared with the giant snake that can devour others, the one in front of him is more dangerous. Who knows how long the venom in its mouth has been stored, and what kind of mutation has occurred.

Liu Zhi carefully backed out of the giant snake's range, and after a few steps, the giant snake seemed to have discovered Liu Zhi's existence and swam towards this side.

Liu Zhi noticed the situation here, he checked himself, and found that the various herbal medicines he prepared to remove the smell were still there, and they didn't work. Why did the giant snake come here?

Liu Zhi, unable to think too much, could only quickly move towards Perkin. While moving, he was looking for the downwind of Perkin's location, hoping to use Perkin's scent to lure away those who might have found himself. giant snake.

Liu Zhi didn't know if he would succeed in doing so, he had already made a plan, if the giant snake was still staring at him when he got downwind, he would give up this operation, leave this jungle, and go to find the Golden City. Whoever wants to meddle in the matter can do it, anyway, he doesn't intend to leave his life in this place.

Fortunately, after smelling the scent of other people, the poisonous snake changed its target. It let go of Liu Zhi who had not yet been found, and headed towards Perkin.

Seeing the giant snake with black and white patterns crawling under the tree where he was hiding, Liu Zhi's heart almost jumped.

He huddled in the tree and remained motionless. He knew that as long as he moved, he would most likely face the death stare of the poisonous snake.

So he kept shrinking, even if he was observing Perkin's situation, he was observing from the corner of his eye.

At this time, the sky was almost dawn, and the fireflies also slowly stopped. Perkin did not put them into the jar, but let the fireflies die.

"We've been on the road all night, everyone, let's have a rest."

As the light on the last firefly went out, Perkin also took the initiative to stop, "One of you go to the tree and see if there is a waterfall nearby."

The swordsman who had already sat on a rock stood up actively after hearing this,

"I'll go up and have a look, and be careful yourself."

After speaking, the swordsman looked around, picked a tree that looked taller, and climbed five or six meters in three or two steps.

Then the swordsman hung on a branch, and was about to climb up, but found a pair of eyes the size of headlights staring at him among the leaves.

The hairs on the swordsman's body stood on end in an instant. Without even thinking about it, he let go of his hand, and he fell down.

In mid-air, the swordsman pulled out the long sword hanging behind his back, trying to block the attack that might come from above. He has seen a lot of giant snakes' attack behaviors during this period, and they all bite directly with their mouths open. If he could cut the giant snake in the first place, he might be able to escape.

But the bite from top to bottom did not appear. The giant snake that sprang out from the leaves opened its mouth, but did not bite down, but sprayed out a wave of transparent liquid.

The swordsman couldn't turn around in the air, and was shot straight by the liquid.

He yelled in mid-air, and his body quickly turned black and swollen, and he had lost his breath when he fell to the ground.

Seeing this situation, the three people under the tree couldn't help screaming. The female flying knife raised her hand and stabbed the poisonous snake twice, then turned her head and ran towards the road when she came.

And Perkin and Lloyd didn't care about other things, they didn't even pick up the backpack they had just put down, and ran in another direction.

After the giant snake was attacked by the female flying swordsman, she opened her mouth and bit towards the direction in which the female flying swordsman was fleeing. However, the female flying swordsman was faster, and she turned around and left the giant snake behind.

The giant snake was a vengeful snake, and after seeing the female flying swordsman escape, it slid down from the tree and chased after the female flying swordsman.

Liu Zhi, who was on the tree, watched the female flying swordsman run under his tree, and watched the giant snake chase him away, so he dared to climb down from the tree.

After making sure that he didn't leave any scent or clues behind, he cautiously came to the place where Perkin and the others had rested before.

At this time, the swordsman's body had completely turned black, and the long sword he held tightly in his hand had no metallic gleam.

Liu Zhi thought for a while, tore off a piece of clothing from his body, used a branch to remove the long sword from the venom, and wrapped the cloth strip of the clothing tightly around the hilt of the long sword.

After picking up the long sword again, Liu Zhi turned his attention to the backpack thrown down by Perkin and the others.

Lloyd didn't carry his bag on his back when he escaped, and he didn't take any luggage along the way, but Perkin kept important things with him all the time. His bag was the key to the trip.

The bag was thrown here, Liu Zhi naturally would not let it go, he picked up the bag and went in another direction, as for whether Perkin and the others would chase after the bag and take it back, Liu Zhi could only say, I don’t dare this.

Not long after Liu Zhi was asked to leave, Perkin and Lloyd came back sneakily.

Seeing everything in front of him, Perkin couldn't help calling out, "Where's my bag?"
