[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

I have to be thankful that the man in black turned around and left early. The carriage that Chen Xu and Liu Che were in was originally hit by a cliff and was shot, but under the mist was a towering tree. The carriage hit the branch and was bounced back and forth. The carriage finally fell apart, Chen Xu and Liu Che rolled out, and fell on the thick branches like falling caterpillars.

Chen Xu and Liu Che fought two or three times before stopping.

"Ahem." Seeing that he had stabilized, Chen Xu immediately let go of the cushion covering his body and checked Liu Che who had fainted.Liu Che was protected by him in front of his chest, and it didn't look like he was injured. Chen Xu let Liu Che lie flat on the cushion, and just as he put Liu Che down, a drop of bright red water fell on Liu Che's face.

"Pa-ta" is another drop.

Chen Xu wiped his face subconsciously, and found that his palms were stained red with blood.

Chen Xu: "..." Nosebleed.

Fortunately, the nosebleed stopped soon. Chen Xu sat leaning on the branch for a while, seeing that Liu Che hadn't woken up yet, so he searched around by himself.

This cliff should not have been so steep originally, maybe it looked like a high mountain originally, but I don’t know why the mountain fell down and cut in half. The big tree grew on the side, and I don’t know how many years it took to grow into what it is today. Even when Chen Xu lowered his head, he couldn't see its roots, only the white mist.

The trunk feels a little wet, presumably because it has been growing in this white mist environment for a long time, the leaves are sticky to the touch, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.Chen Xu walked half a circle around the tree trunk, and found broken pieces of the carriage and horse.

Yes, pieces of horses.The area around the wound was blue, and the blood had solidified. I don't know if it was because of the poisonous powder. Anyway, Chen Xu didn't dare to eat it. But the horse is here, and the water bag and dry food bag on the saddle are at least there. .

Chen Xu's trophies are as follows: a dusty bag of dry food, with a few pieces of dry biscuits in it, which were originally used by the drivers to feed themselves, so the quantity is not much.One water bag, they encountered an ambush not long after they were on their way, so the water bag was still full.There were some pieces of wood, although there were not many, but one of them was the shaft of the carriage. After it was broken, one end was very sharp.One piece of carriage curtain, only a small piece, probably enough as a pillow cover.However, in places where the bottom was invisible and the light was invisible, Chen Xu felt that all he could find were good things, so he kept them.

Although the big tree was covered in white mist, it grew luxuriantly. Chen Xu originally wanted to walk around more to see if there were any fruits on the tree, but Liu Che's shouts came over.

Liu Che opened his eyes and saw the branches shrouded in darkness. A sharp pain came from his left foot, and a strong uneasiness rushed into his heart. Everything was strange except the cushions beneath him that he knew.

He couldn't help but called out: "Chen Xu—"

There were only empty echoes around, which made Liu Che feel even more uneasy.He wanted to stand up with the trunk of the tree, but found that the trunk was slippery, so he had to sit where he was.

Calm down.Liu Che thought to himself: If he can lie here intact, Chen Xu must be fine, he should be nearby and will be back soon.

"Shusha—" The branches trembled slightly, and Liu Che's heart immediately rose to his throat.

"Chen Xu?" Liu Che looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a cluster of branches shaking, Liu Che stared at that place until the branches stopped trembling.Before Liu Che could breathe a sigh of relief, more violent tremors began, not only the cluster of branches, but even the whole tree trembled.

Liu Che, who was sitting on the cushion, could clearly feel that the shaking of the big tree was telling him that something was approaching him.

"Hiss." A voice that obviously did not belong to people and trees was approaching. Immediately afterwards, Liu Che saw a huge snake head appearing in front of him. The head of that giant snake was thicker than Liu Che's waist. When he came, he opened his mouth wide and rushed towards Liu Che.

"Get down!" Chen Xu's voice was very clear in Liu Che's ears, and Liu Che immediately fell down.A short spear with a sharp wooden thorn head was directly inserted into the giant snake's mouth. The giant snake uttered a sharp cry and shook the branch even more vigorously.

"Let's go." Chen Xu hugged Liu Che with one hand, pulled the cushion, and the cushion slid off the slippery tree trunk. Chen Xu and Liu Che slid off the tree trunk like a sled, following the trembling body of the giant snake. to the bottom of the tree.

The root of the big tree grows in the mud of the cliff, and there is a stone hole above the tree root, Chen Xu and Liu Che slid directly into the hole.

The stone wall at the entrance of the cave was also filled with slimy liquid, and it was obvious at a glance that it was the old nest of the giant snake.

Liu Che said: "You can't stay here." The giant snake was still screaming outside, and when the pain in its mouth lessened, it would definitely return to the cave, and he and Chen Xu would simply let it kill it.

"No, that wooden thorn is stained with poison." Chen Xu got up and stretched out his hand towards Liu Che. "Let's go inside and take a look."

Liu Che sat on the cushion. "Where did you get the poison?"

"I found the remains of the horse... Now is not the time to talk about it." Chen Xu said: "The slime here is the same as that on the tree trunk. There should be no second giant snake. I don't know if there is anything strange here. Let's start Find a place to rest here and make plans."

Liu Che: "My feet..."

Chen Xu: "..." He wasn't injured, but Liu Che was injured?

It probably twisted when it was jolted in the carriage, and now Liu Che's foot was swollen very high. Chen Xu pinched Liu Che's bone to straighten the bone, and then wrapped Liu Che's foot with the carriage curtain. It was twisted, no bone was injured, but Liu Che was definitely unable to walk, so Chen Xu had no choice but to walk towards the entrance of the cave with Liu Che on his back.

Liu Che could still feel the slight shaking of the ground while lying on Chen Xu's shoulder.

"Can this poison kill the snake?"

"It should be possible, the Queen Mother is determined to kill you." Chen Xu said: "If those men in black were not stupid enough to sprinkle poisonous powder into the eyes of the horse, we would not have ended up here. It seems that the Queen Mother Dou I can't stay."

"How do you know? He said it again?" Liu Che paused. "No, he has already left your body. I always thought that he said these things. It turns out that without him, Chen Xu still knows so much."

"I just found the horse's head." Chen Xu said, "You can understand these things after a little thought."

The more the two walked inside, the already dim light became dimmer, and Chen Xu started to feel the viscous liquid.

Liu Che folded his arms slightly.

Chen Xu paused.

Liu Che: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xu: "Don't hug her too tightly, I can't breathe."

Liu Che: "...Oh..."

Chen Xu: "Cough" and continued walking forward.

Liu Che said, "I don't know if the snake's mucus is poisonous or not."

"It should not be poisonous." Many pythons are not poisonous, and he also touched the mucus stained on the leaves before, and there was nothing wrong.

"...Chen Xu, I'm going to fall."

"Oh." Chen Xu lifted Liu Che's butt up, and suddenly remembered Liu Che's taking advantage of him before, so he pinched Liu Che's butt.

"Oh!" Liu Che screamed, "It hurts so much."

"Does it hurt? I just pinched it lightly." Liu Che's butt was quite elastic when he pinched it. Chen Xu squeezed it a few more times, forgetting to walk while touching the wall, and bumped his face against the wall. "Pfft." The viscous liquid was covering his face.

Liu Che: "..." If you don't die, you won't die.
