Transcending the python

So Rong An turned his head and looked at the only exit in the cell, the door.The door is also made of bamboo panels, the height of which is the same as the earthen wall. At first glance, it looks dilapidated, but it is actually well-made and very strong.Rong An stretched his neck, and after a while, said:

"There's no guards outside right now."

"That's right, all the Wing Ghosts are out."

"Then why don't we take the opportunity to escape?"

Mei Yin gave Rong An a reproachful look, as if she didn't understand why he was so stupid.The woman said lightly: "The sea is dry and the rocks are rotten in front of you. What are you doing running away? Are you courting death?"

"What, what is the dry sea, rocks and cliffs?"

"The reason Wing Ghost uses this place as a prison is because the water sources are all facing the sea, dry rocks and rotten cliffs. The cliff is very dangerous, and the air is poisonous. When you throw the stones down, it will melt into water vapor in a short while. The river water that flows down cannot be drunk. Can wait for it to slowly dry up."

"Hey, then why do you want to set the water source there? Isn't it poisonous?"

"They're telling you to drink the water before you fall."

Rong An's back felt cold, and he imagined himself clinging to the edge of a steep cliff, stretching out his hand in a semicircle, reaching for a handful of rare clear water.

"Once you fall, you will die. Rong An, you should be careful when drinking water." Mei Yin warned.

"Hmm..." Rong An thought for a while and asked, "Since no one can go down, how do you know the air below is poisonous?"

"The legend goes like this. In ancient times, fierce beasts were much stronger than the orcs of today, and there are very few who are not afraid of poison and can go down. For example, cloud toads, fierce pythons, yellow spiders, etc."

"Can't break the sky?"

"No, that's why the leader of the Winged Ghost can't go down either." Mei Yin said.

Rong An nodded thoughtfully, stood up, and said, "I can't get over that earthen wall, so why not go out through the door and look around for water while there's no one around?"

Mei Yin gave him a complicated look, and asked, "Why can't I climb over? This height, transformed into a beast, can climb up just by climbing."

"..."Because I am the trash in human form that you said.Rong An didn't say this, but explained embarrassingly, "My shoulder is injured."

Mei Yin's weird expression didn't back down, she nodded copingly, but didn't speak.

Rong An embarrassedly walked towards the door.He looked over his left shoulder.The injury was serious, at first Rong An thought it would never heal, or it might get infected, but looking at it now, the blood scab on the left shoulder has hardened and dried up, showing signs of getting better.Rong An breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried.

He walked slowly towards the door.There were many orcs beside them, curled up on the ground, looking up and down at Rong An, when he held the doorknob with his hand, they collectively gasped and uttered an 'Ah—' sound.Then there was a panicked discussion in a low voice.

Rong An found that he could only understand what the orcs of the King Snake Tribe said, and the other orcs spoke to him like a chicken talking to a duck, and Rong An couldn't tell what they meant.

I don't know if Mei Yin and Chong Youye can understand.

With that in mind, Rong An opened the door and walked out.He didn't close the door because if there were people outside or danger occurred, he could rush back as quickly as possible.

The moment he opened the door, Rong An smelled the fresh and comfortable air.There are too many people detained in the cell, and all the urine and urine are disposed of in it, and the smell is really unflattering.It's just that he used to pick up dung in Rongjia Village, and the smell was much stronger than here. He could bear it then, and it doesn't matter now.

In the distance, Rong An heard the sound of running water behind him.

The door and the groove for drinking water are facing each other, the water source is facing the sea, dry rocks and rotten cliffs, and the door is facing the Winged Ghost's lair, and there are only two exits.The captured slaves must be afraid of the Winged Ghosts, and dare not escape from the door, otherwise they will break into the Winged Ghosts' lair.It's impossible to escape from the water source, it's like being attacked by the enemy, so the Winged Ghosts let them come out to drink water by themselves without interfering.

Rong An couldn't climb up the groove, so he had to walk out from the door, which was really risky.He bent over and kept looking left and right, like a thief breaking into someone's house, his heart beating faster.

The cell is a circular space made of soil, Rong An walked close to the base of the wall, and when he made a half circle, he heard the sound of water flowing louder and louder.Rong An lost a lot of blood, his mouth was dry, he couldn't help getting excited when he heard this sound, and walked quickly towards the water source.

With a flash in front of his eyes, Rong An slowed down and saw the source of water in front of him.

I saw a clear stream of water gushing out from a protruding and broken stone on the ground, and flowing into a channel sunken by the impact of the water. This turned out to be a spring, and the water was extremely clean, with a clear bottom. .

Rong An bent down and took a little water with his hands, only then realized that his hands were covered with blood and mud, very dirty.So Rong An washed it with water, and then drank it in a big gulp.

The water here is abundant, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.Rong An was attracted by the clear spring water and fresh air, and he didn't want to go back, so he sat nearby, soaked the tattered clothes on his upper body in the water, rinsed them, and wiped himself with them.He avoided the wound on his left shoulder, starting from the face, then the neck, chest, lower abdomen, back...

A handsome boy with a shirtless upper body was sitting by the spring, gritted his teeth and raised his right hand to scrub his back.The right shoulder was connected to the left shoulder, and he would pull the wound on the left shoulder as soon as he raised his hand, but he endured the pain and cleaned it carefully.

With his movements, the smooth muscles of the boy's back were fully revealed.Because of the severe pain, Rong An couldn't stop breathing, the obvious abdominal muscles were deeply sunken, and clear water droplets rolled down from his neck, and then stagnated in the sunken place of the abdominal muscles.

After finally cleaning his body, Rong An sighed and couldn't help frowning.

His coat was so torn that he could take it off but couldn't put it on.Holding the clothes with holes bigger than fists in his hands, Rong An thought about it and put it on anyway.There are many mosquitoes in the strong mainland, and Rong An has no scales to protect him.And there are always those kind of tiny bugs that like to crawl on Rong An's body. He has pulled them down with his hands a few times. I don't know if it is poisonous. Although the clothes are torn, they are better than nothing.

When he was dressed, it was full daylight.The temperature here is close to early summer, even if you wear wet clothes, it will quickly dry out under the sun.

After dawdling until his clothes were dry, Rong An patted the dirt on his legs, stood up, blocked the glare of the sun with his hands, and looked outside.

Going forward along the spring, the place 50 meters away should be the "sea dry rock and rotten cliff" that Meiyin said, and that place is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The 'Dangerous' label is the kind of place that Rong An won't go to when he sees it.

And 100 meters away on both sides of the spring, there are large areas of weeds and flowers, and a few lonely old trees are dying to take root there.Rong An glanced casually, then paused.Although he was very worried about the sudden return of the winged ghost, Rong An still walked a few steps away from the cell door.

The reason why he wanted to do this was because Rong An saw a small yellow flower over there, which looked like the kind that grew on cucumber seedlings, which made him feel very nostalgic, and wanted to know if there were similar vegetables in the Strong Continent.

It's a pity that when Rong An got closer, he realized that it was not a 'little yellow flower' at all, but actually a 'big yellow flower', which was bigger than the palm of his hand, but it looked a bit small from a distance.

But he was not reconciled, and continued to walk forward. This time, Rong An saw a cluster of plants that looked like peppers.There are about [-] or [-] peppers in that plant, which is as bright red as blood.Rong An couldn't help but opened it and found that the seeds inside were similar to chili peppers.

It's just that the chili is extremely hot, Rong An just licked his fingers that were stained with chili juice, and was so hot that tears flowed down his face, and he hurried to the spring to rinse his mouth with water in pain.

Such a hot chili can't be eaten at all, it will burn your tongue.

"Huh..." Rong An made a thoughtful voice, and simply picked off the bunch of peppers and filled a pocket full.

Continuing to walk forward, Rong An also saw a lot of mushrooms and moss.In the past in Rongjia Village, he would go to the mountains to pick mushrooms when he was very hungry, but he usually didn't dare to let his mother eat them for fear of being poisonous.Rong An also learned how to farm, but he was so unlucky that he often had to put in two or three times more effort than others, even when the sun went down, he had to dig the ground in the dark.But in this way, Rong An has never gained anything, and after a long time, it is somewhat dull, so he doesn't waste time on it.

In the 17 years of living in Rongjia Village, Rong An has learned a lot of common sense in life. He avoids bright mushrooms and picks ugly ones.Strong Continent has a lot of rain, and it was still raining a few days ago, so many fresh and tender mushrooms emerged.

In addition to these, Rong An also found a vegetable that looked like a pumpkin, about the size of a wheel, oblate, yellow and green on the outside, embedded with white ribbon-like stripes.But that plant definitely cannot be cooked and eaten like a pumpkin, because its shell is surprisingly hard, it took Rong An more than half an hour to knock out a round hole the size of a chestnut.

The 'pumpkin' contained a milky white liquid with a delicate smell, Rong An curiously dipped a little into his mouth and tasted it, it turned out to be a sweet taste.But Rong An didn't dare to taste it, poured out the white liquid inside, washed it with spring water, filled a ladle full of water, and went back.

He couldn't be so lucky all the time, and walked out the door when there was no Winged Ghost guarding the door.But Rong An couldn't climb the earthen wall, and couldn't die of thirst, so he had to pretend to be more and take him back.

Rong An's pocket was full of peppers and mushrooms, and his right hand was still tightly holding the wheel-sized 'pumpkin'. He hadn't eaten for a whole day, and he was dizzy from hunger, and the wound on his shoulder felt like it was about to burst.Rong An stumbled, finally got close to the cell, and was unlucky to find a tall winged ghost standing at the door.

Rong An took two steps back, and there was a slight sound under his feet.The Winged Ghost already sensed something was wrong, and turned his head to look at him coldly.Rong An pretended to be calm, coughed twice in embarrassment, hugged the heavy 'pumpkin', and walked towards the door of the cell step by step.

Fortunately, although Yigui was fierce and aggressive, his IQ was worrying, and he didn't want to stop Rong An from entering the cell at all.After Rong An walked in, he closed the cell door behind his back.

I always feel like I'm digging my own grave.
