Chapter 949
"Let's go in according to the route that Mr. Xu recalled. He should be right. This is indeed the direction of the setting sun."
"Yes!" Sheng Qi and Nie Yang nodded in unison.
Then the three of them slowed down and officially entered the territory of Lingnan on horseback. Along the way, he began to leave marks on the trees with a knife to make it easier to get out later.
After walking for about an hour, it was dark and the sun set completely behind the western mountains, replaced by the night sky and stars.
The whole of Lingnan was as quiet as a black hole. You couldn't see your hand in front of you. The absolute silence seemed very depressing, and the occasional crows were so creepy that it made your scalp tingle.
Without a certain level of psychological quality, it is impossible to stay in such an environment for long, and you might even scare yourself to death.
Shengqi walked in front like a black gate god, clearing the way with his sword and cutting off vines as thick as his arms, while the younger Nie Yang was protected in the middle.
Guan Ning stayed behind the palace, constantly making marks with a knife, and using the wind direction and moonlight to record the way they came.
Everything was under control, but suddenly, Nie Yang's footsteps stopped and he stopped moving.
Guan Ning raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Nie Yang's whole body was tense, like a piece of wood, and his voice suddenly became a little nervous: "Snake, snake..."
Hearing the sound, Guan Ning's pupils widened, and he discovered that there was a black thing wrapped around Nie Yang's neck. Because of the light, he didn't even notice it.
Shengqi also came back at this time, his expression tense.
"do not move!"
"It's a poisonous snake." Guan Ning whispered, staring at the black snake that had been wrapped around Nie Yang's neck at some point. Its head looked like an inverted triangle, and its eyes were dim, as it was swallowing and spitting out its tongue.
"Hiss..."
Nie Yang was extremely nervous, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He didn't even know when the snake had wrapped around him. It was so scary!
The surroundings were silent, so quiet that the only sound he could hear was his own heartbeat and the chirping of insects under his feet. Guan Ning kept approaching gently so as not to disturb the poisonous snake.
He raised his hands, ready to grab the snake's weak spot. As long as he could control its head, everything would be easy.
Nie Yang was relatively calm. If it were someone else, they would have been jumping around in confusion.
"Hiss..."
The poisonous snake approached his face little by little.
"Don't move, don't move." Guan Ning reminded in a low voice, looking for a suitable position.
Nie Yang grunted in his throat, his dark and youthful face remained calm, not daring to move, just when Guan Ning had found the right position.
The poisonous snake with an inverted triangle head suddenly arched up and bit Nie Yang's throat.
"Not good!" Guan Ning exclaimed, and pounced without hesitation, almost instinctively. His right hand stretched out like a dragon, as fast as lightning.
boom!
He accurately pinched the snake's vital point.
"hiss!"
The venomous snake struggled, swallowing and spewing its tongue. Its open fangs had already pulled out saliva, which was full of poison. It was less than a centimeter away from Nie Yang's throat, which was extremely thrilling.
Nie Yang was breathing rapidly and stood there, at a loss.
"It's a branding snake. It gets its name from its head which looks like a branding iron. It is extremely poisonous. If bitten, the poison will kill you within half an hour. There is almost no cure." Guan Ning was serious and secretly scared. Fortunately, he found it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nie Yang was still in shock: "Thank you very much, my lord."
Guan Ning smiled and said, "Be careful next time. This is a primeval forest, full of dangers."
"Take the snake's body off."
"Oh oh oh." Nie Yang came back to his senses and agreed repeatedly. He endured the coldness and nausea on his skin and untied the poisonous snake's body layer by layer.
The crisis was resolved and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
But suddenly, Guan Ning frowned, his ears moved slightly, and he almost subconsciously looked towards the woods on the left.
woohoo hoo...
A strange sound was heard at a certain frequency, which seemed to be the wind.
Guan Ning tried hard to hear clearly, but he was standing in the shade and could not see what was happening in the woods.
Chirp, chirp, chirp...
A dozen bats flew out from inside, and Guan Ning relaxed his vigilance, thinking they were bats.
