Fear Collection

Hearing Zhuang Zheng's voice, the others ran away without hesitation.

They must not pass by the river, so the only way they have left is the forest in the opposite direction.

Xie Jinxi didn't know which direction to run, but he knew that he couldn't run away in the forest, and it was more dangerous to run away in the forest at night.

But now it was the critical moment, Xie Jinxi only saw a person running past him into the forest, and he ran in after him before he had time to think.

Xie Jinxi really felt what it feels like to run for real.

The shaking flashlight shone white light in the dark forest, the sound of the wind and my own breathing filled my ears, and when I ran, I stepped on fallen leaves, vines, and tree roots.

He was tripped a few times from time to time, several times, got up and continued running without even thinking, his chest and lungs beating desperately like a broken bellows.

"Wait!" Xie Jinxi couldn't help shouting at the people running ahead, "Wait for me! Slow down!"

"Don't...don't run too far! You'll get scattered!"

The person in front didn't turn his head and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Xie Jinxi tripped suddenly, stepped on the dead leaf bubble, half of her calf went straight in, and the whole person fell forward uncontrollably with inertia and fell heavily to the ground.

After falling down, Xie Jinxi supported the ground with his hands and wanted to get up, but when he tried hard, he felt that the whole ground was soft, and he was sinking.His leg that was not in the dead leaves was not stepped on at all, and his pants were soaked, so he couldn't use any force at all.

"Damn it!" Xie Jinxi immediately realized that he might have stepped on that kind of large dead leaf bubble.

The terrain here is low near the river, and the rainy season will cause the flooded river to overflow to the surroundings. The river and rain soak the land, and there are many leaves and dead leaves on it. On the surface, it is impossible to tell whether the ground is empty or not.

Xie Jinxi didn't choose a path in a panic, and didn't pay attention to the ground under his feet. Fortunately, he didn't sink too deep, and his body fell on the ground again.

He swung his arms around, grabbed a nearby bush, and managed to pull his leg out by struggling to get out.

Xie Jinxi gasped heavily, and collapsed on the solid ground, sweating all over from fright.

"Help me! Help me!!!"

However, the person who ran in front of Xie Jinxi was not as lucky as him. He ran too fast, and only after running a few steps did he realize that he was trapped in a dead leaf bubble.

When Xie Jinxi looked up at him, he was already half buried in the dead leaves. At this moment, he was struggling to "swim" to the shore with his arms, but the more he struggled, the more he sank.

"Don't move!" Xie Jinxi recognized him as one of the newcomers, and stopped him loudly, "The more you move, the more you sink, I will pull you!"

Xie Jinxi looked around and didn't see a suitable branch. He was too caught off guard when he ran out of the camp by himself, and he didn't even carry the supplies with the rope on his back.

There was really no other way, Xie Jinxi could only take off his coat, twist it into a rope and throw it over.

"catch!"

Fortunately, the temperature was low at night. He was still on vigil just now, so he put on another coat, otherwise he would have to stand shirtless in the forest.

The rookie who got stuck waved his arms and grabbed his clothes, Xie Jinxi tried his best to pull him out.

"No... wait! Wait!" The man's voice suddenly changed, and then he screamed in horror, "There is something, something is biting my leg!"

"Ahh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"what!"

While screaming, the man tightened the clothes in his hand and shouted: "Pull me up quickly! Pull me!"

"Help me! My leg! Ahhh! Help...help me!"

Xie Jinxi only felt a huge force coming from his clothes, he staggered two steps and was almost taken over.

"No, hold on, don't pull hard towards you!"

And the new man was terrified and in pain, totally out of his mind.He grabbed the clothes in his hands as if he was holding on to the last straw, and even pulled the clothes hard, trying to pull himself out of the dead leaves.

But force is relative, he pulled his clothes hard to pull himself out, Xie Jinxi was pulled to his side all the time, he could hardly hold on.

"Help me! I don't want to die! I don't want to! It hurts! Ahhh! It hurts!"

"You save me! Please save me!"

The clothes in Xie Jinxi's hands were stretched to the extreme, but he still couldn't pull the other party out, but the other party seemed to be pulled down by something.

"You save me, why don't you save me! Save me!"

His voice was shrill and desperate, his waist and abdomen had sunk, and the pain made him frantically pull his clothes towards him.

"You die with me! Go to death! Go to death!"

Xie Jinxi was pulled and stepped into the dead leaves, the instinct of survival prevailed, Xie Jinxi subconsciously let go of his hand, fell backwards and pulled out his own leg.

Without him pulling the rope, the man sank again abruptly, leaving only the shoulders above the ground.

He cursed Xie Jinxi intermittently, scolding him why he didn't save him, and sometimes screamed that he was in pain, but he sank down very quickly, leaving only the sound of 'hulu hulu', and soon completely There was no sound.

Xie Jinxi pulled out her own foot and fell to the ground, her mind was blank.

He was sweating all over his body, his arms were shaking after exerting all his strength, and there were deep strangle marks between his hands.

He was panting heavily, his eyes staring straight.

The flashlight dropped at his feet, sending a beam of white light into the dark depths of the forest.

One life, no, counting the man who was hanged by the boa constrictor, two lives, just disappeared before his eyes.

Everything just discovered is too fast, from the ghost appearance to the python attacking the camp, to running wild into the forest, and another person sinking into the dead leaves to die, the danger is overwhelming.

Xie Jinxi wiped his face, after a while, he picked up his hand and stood up. Now is not the time to blame himself and be afraid. There is another more terrifying and important question before Xie Jinxi.

That is... he ran away.

damn it!

He turned the flashlight and looked around. Except for the person who sank in, he saw no other taskers.

The python attacked the camp just now, and everyone ran away in a panic. Xie Jinxi deliberately didn't want to run away, but ended up running away and getting orders.

Except for the trees, there are still trees all around, and I can barely distinguish the direction when he came.

He cautiously looked at the direction he came from for a long time, but found no sign or movement of the boa constrictor chasing him.

You can't walk around. If you really get lost and can't find the camp, it's no different from death.

Xie Jinxi identified the traces when he came back, and walked along the traces for a while, away from the place where the person sank just now,

The man was not suffocated, but was bitten or gnawed to death by something from underneath.

He kept screaming that something was biting and stabbing him, Xie Jinxi didn't want to gamble on whether a person would be full after eating that thing, and would crawl out to find him another meal.

After walking for a short distance along the traces of where he came, Xie Jinxi stopped after confirming that the dead leaf bubble was no longer visible, panting heavily for a while, giving his overwhelmed lungs a period of rest.

During this period of desperate running and saving people, the adrenaline surged, and it took a while for Xie Jinxi to calm down a little.

It was very dark around, but Xie Jinxi always felt as if there were countless snakes wandering around in every corner, and countless pairs of cold and vicious eyes were watching them, as if he was thinking about whether to hunt them or not.

After Xie Jinxi calmed down a bit, she thought about it seriously. Except for the python that was thicker than a human and had an unknown length, animals of human size were not on the diet of other snakes.

The snakes were attracted by that fragrance, but they just don't know if that fragrance will induce these snakes to attack them.

Xie Jinxi thinks the possibility is not particularly high, after all, the scent is emitted by burning a piece of white lump in the fire, and after it spreads, not only people are contaminated with that scent, but at most, it can attract snakes to a certain area. to make them restless.

It is impossible that the incense can also make the snakes distinguish between human beings and attack them.

Then why struggle, there are so many snakes and insects in the jungle, just because they will never be able to go to the Snake Valley, they simply find a poisonous one and bite themselves directly, so as to avoid the curse and die miserably.

Therefore, the biggest threat to them attracted by that scent is actually that kind of giant python. The other thing to be afraid of is that they step on or encounter some kind of poisonous snake while running around. If they are bitten, they will definitely die up.

There was no way, the giant python was too powerful just now, and they were surrounded by snakes, so they couldn't calm down when they saw the python strangling the living.

Before the emergence of civilization, human beings had a long evolutionary period on land, and the fear of snakes was completely engraved into genes and instincts, not to mention seeing that heavyweight python suddenly.

The fear of predators facing prey made them run away, and it also made Xie Jinxi fall into the current isolated and helpless situation.

Xie Jinxi forced himself to analyze the current situation. The boa constrictor didn't come after him, but the problem was that he ran away with the others, and he had to get back together if he wanted to survive, because the snake witch didn't know where he went.

Without supplies, without a guide, no matter how you think about it, it is a dead end.

So you have to reconcile with others.

To reconcile, the best option is actually to return to the camp. They can't lose their supplies, they are still where they are.

But the question is, will those giant pythons still stay there? Wouldn’t it be like adding food to the snake if they really stay there and go back?

Xie Jinxi frowned, wondering if Zhuang Zheng had a flare gun when he ran...

In the current situation, Xie Jinxi could only bite the bullet and walk in the direction of the camp along the traces of where he came.

As we walked, there were gradually footsteps nearby, and two flashlights appeared from behind the trees, and one of them saw him shouting: "Thank you Jinxi! Here! We are here!"

Xie Jinxi was overjoyed, hurried over and found that it was Zhao Wu and Wang Hanchi.

"What's going on? Just the two of you? Where are Zhuang Zheng and the others?" Xie Jinxi asked quickly.
