Polusalino hesitated for a moment.

The tree canopy covering the sky blocked the sunlight, making the vision even more dizzy, but the person in front of him raised his face, and the chaotic light shrouded her body faintly, outlining the outline of her eyebrows and eyes.

Even in such a gloomy environment, her beauty has not diminished by half.

Ye Yanshu beautiful appearance, blown skin can be broken, a few strands of hair coiled around the slender neck, jet black hair color and porcelain white skin, two extremely sharp contrasts, exudes a seductive atmosphere.

His eyes wandered without any trace, and he narrowed his eyes, trying to hide the strange color hidden in the depths of his pupils.

Polusalino can swear that he has absolutely no desire or dissatisfaction, this is just a normal man's natural reaction, it's just... the heat rising from his body melts instantly when it touches her gaze.

Her eyes were full of light, and she watched him quietly with pure calm, like a gurgling stream in an uninhabited mountain stream, clear and transparent without dirt.

In the silence, Polusalino pretended not to look away from her face, clicked his tongue, and sighed inwardly, this is really a foul, girl.

He obviously has a captivating face that always makes people think in a crooked way, but his behavior is brilliant, and he even has a little bit of a quirk. He always knows how to give a deep blow when a man is hot...

A woman like a stunner, who is rougher than these men, has a high force value, and there is no way to absolutely suppress her if she wants to do something... If things go on like this for a long time, even a man will suffer from problems.

It's no wonder that after seeing her true nature clearly, the classmates at the same time kept her at a respectful distance.

'Because you said, I will leave it to you behind the scenes. ’———such complete trust.

You really know how to hit a man too well, you are a thousand years old.

……

After lighting a candle for himself in his heart, Polusalino thought again that such troubles seemed to be his own making and he was happy to see what happened, just as Chitose Baisui said, if he does not get his approval, in his eyes, She is nothing.

After all, what he wanted was companions, not burdens, because their lives, from the past to the future, had never been peaceful and stable, and on the battlefield, they not only had to be responsible to themselves and their companions, but also to the soldiers under their command.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. For Polusalino, it is the general's responsibility to protect every soldier. However, this responsibility does not include idiots who have no self-knowledge and drag others down. If heaven.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Polusalino had calmed down his messy thoughts very well, pulled himself together, and said with a smile, "Reciprocity is reciprocal, next, please take care of my back~"

In the dead forest, subtle rustling sounds are gradually approaching from a distance, like a sudden torrential rain, with water droplets falling on the ends of the branches and leaves, overwhelming and dense.

At the same time, her gaze sank, she turned her head slightly to look around, and there was a hint of heaviness in her expression.

Polusalino raised his eyebrows secretly appreciatively, but didn't say anything else, he just looked away from her, his eyelids drooped, and he seemed to inadvertently tighten the short blade he held between his fingers.

The thousand-year-old was instantly alert, and realized that the abnormal speed was only a little later than him.

Sure enough, I didn't miss it, good luck.

……

But in an instant, the rustling sound of the drizzle turned into a ... sticky caressing and crawling sound. Accompanied by strange sounds coming from all directions, the unspeakable fishy smell was getting closer and closer.

He and she looked at each other, and also saw their slightly changed face from each other's eyes.

Stepping forward and grabbing her wrist, Polusalino shouted in a deep voice, "Go—" At the same time, he rushed out with his feet, leading her to escape in a weaker direction in the boundless encirclement .

Sweeping tens of meters forward, a strong fishy smell hits the face, deep in the lush tree canopy at high altitude, and in the gaps of dense plants on the front and rear roads, something shoots out like a rain of arrows in an instant.

Rain-like gray-brown, twisting and twisting, the body is swift and treacherous.

They opened their mouths in mid-air, with pale white and pink soft membranes inside, and sharp and sharp fangs.

The countless strip-shaped creatures belong to the same gray snake that he assassinated just now, and their reptiles belong to the suborder Squamata.

This seemingly silent forest is now raining densely with snakes.

Shrinking his pupils slightly, Polusalino exerted his strength suddenly, and his figure jumped out, rushing through the gap of flying snakes that filled the sky a second before they charged.

……

While running wildly, Polusalino suddenly realized in his heart that the forest was actually a nest of snakes. No wonder he rarely saw animals along the way, even the birds disappeared.

If he hadn't inadvertently noticed it just now, the gray snake would definitely have bitten the back of her neck fiercely.

It's creepy to think about.

The thing clings to the branch of a tree that he and she pass by, hides its whereabouts in the form of mimicry, and then suddenly attacks without warning.

What's even more strange is that there was no sound in the action, and even the fluctuation of life was suppressed to close to zero.

The reason why he was able to detect it in advance a few minutes ago was because there were too many people, the huge group of people moved at the same time, and countless inaudible vibration frequencies mixed together to form a sound volume that could be received by the hearing.

……

Slashing, slanting, stabbing.

The short blade held between the fingers quickly repelled another dense snake attack, and at this time, it had been a while since they started running away. The dual effects of rapid movement and high concentration led to an accelerated loss of physical strength.

Polusalino heard his and her heartbeats slightly out of order, and the palms of his palms were covered with thin sweat, mixed with her slight moisture, which made his hand holding her wrist bones almost useless.

While galloping, he divided his mind again, and quickly looked around the surrounding environment, trying to find a way out for the two of them to escape safely from this endless plant cage.

"Porusalino." The person who had remained silent along the way suddenly said, "It's blood, they are devouring the corpses of the same kind."

After she finished speaking, he understood in an instant, flipped his wrist, turned the angle of the short blade, and used the side of the weapon to knock away the rushing snakes instead of cutting them down as before.

There was no hesitation in the movement of the hands, and Polusalino whispered at the same time, "Use my shirt, Bai Sui, the branches in your hand beat them too badly."

As soon as he fled, he caught a glimpse of her casually breaking off a branch from the roadside bushes and using it as a weapon. Along the way, she defended him impeccably behind him.

The appearance of the plant is somewhat similar to thorns, the vines are covered with sharp thorns, and the snakes that swooped in the air were all pumped into balls of pulpy meat...

If according to what she said, it was the blood that caused the snakes to rush in overwhelmingly... Polusalino could only suggest to her to change the weapons of mass destruction in her hands.

……

A moment later, Polusalino felt a slight sharp sound in the air behind him, and there was a short muffled sound as something pierced a tree branch. Afterwards, his waist felt a slight chill.

The soft and delicate palm brushed against his flank lightly, and the bright white color of his shirt disappeared like lightning in the dim vision.

"Can you see the exit of the forest?" Her voice was mixed with the howling wind.

Withdrawing his attention and turning his eyes back to the front, Polusalino twitched the corners of his mouth as he looked at the place that was becoming brighter in the distance, "Soon—"

So, "We want to speed up the hundred years~"

He groped to find her palm, squeezed his five fingers into hers, and interlocked the two fingers. After that, Polusalino tightened his strength, and once again squeezed the person who was a little behind to within a short distance.

"Rush out in one breath."

The hand holding the blade retracted the knife to his chest, took a deep breath, and Polusalino narrowed his eyes, staring at the rain of snakes falling silently in mid-air, and the fighting spirit accumulated in the veins for a long time suddenly burst out.

……

... [-] meters ...

…100 metres……

…50 metres……

The shade of the trees covering the sky began to become rarer, and further away, outside this dark forest that would swallow up people, strands of shallow light behind the numerous obstacles fell through the towering treetops.

Passing through a mixed area of ​​sparse trees and dwarf shrubs, the sun that has been covered by layers of branches for a long time hits the face, and at some time, the group of gray snakes that followed like a shadow have disappeared.

……Dividing line……

The field of vision suddenly widened.

He and she rushed forward without stopping, passing through the large unknown plants with fat leaf buds on the edge of the forest, and passing through the rugged rocky beach, until there was no shelter, and then stopped running pace of.

The nerves that had been tense all the way were finally relaxed a little, and Polusalino looked around while adjusting his breathing.

This is a long and narrow river valley, the water is meandering, rushing out from the end of one side, and the shoal on the other bank is connected to the narrow and steep low cliffs covered with thorns, and there is also endless greenery behind it.

Their foothold is on the side of the stream, and the water level is turbulent due to the low river bed. The torrent gurgles and beats the rocks, splashing water waves, and the breath is moist, and the cold mist puffs on the face from time to time.

Looking at the past, the rocky beach is empty and barren, nothing out of the ordinary.

"Yeah~ It looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight~" Polusalino turned his face away, lowered his voice, and said with a smile, "We don't seem to be able to get out before the sun sets."

Both the front and the retreat are invisible forests. He and she have just escaped from the snakes' lair, but the forest ahead does not know if there are other dangers hidden. Unless you move along the stream, your safety is worrying.

But at this moment, judging from the westward sunlight above their heads, they spent half a day in the forest, and soon the sun was setting, and the chances of being in danger may increase after nightfall. It is better to stay in the river valley temporarily and make plans tomorrow.

Polusalino didn't mind sleeping out, but he didn't know her opinion.

……

When he looked at her, she was looking back in the direction she came from, and waited for a while before turning her face back.

With a slight twist of her wrist, her fingers slipped out from between his fingers, her eyes raised a little, her expression thoughtful, "Porusalino, don't you think the snakes are a little strange?"

Hearing this, Polusalino was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and replied, "Bai Sui, you said that we have been in the forest for so long without encountering any danger, until we killed that snake?"

"Yes." She nodded, her brows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be something she couldn't figure out, and there was some distress in her eyes, "It shouldn't be just blood, cold-blooded reptiles are sensitive to biological heat, why didn't we get attacked in the first place?" ?”

"The extinction of birds and beasts in the forest is caused by the hunting of snakes, right?"

"They will devour their own kind, probably because the competition for survival is too cruel, but why are their actions limited to the forest?"

"Is there something holding them back?"

She didn't seem to want to get an answer from him, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, more like talking to herself, "If that's the case, the snake forest is man-made."

……

"Hundred years old——" Shen Sheng called the name of this person who seemed to be wandering in the sky, and Polusalino slowly raised his hand, gently tapped the center of her frowning eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Women are too smart , men are under a lot of pressure~”

She was stunned, her slack eyes slowly focused, she looked him up and down a few times, her eyes stopped at a certain height, her expression changed slightly, she raised her eyes suddenly, and said, "Treat your injury first."

Polusalino was taken aback, lowered his head, followed her gaze, then smiled casually, "Yeah~ I think it's better to care about our board and lodging issues first, just lick this little wound. "

"Shut up—" She stared at him fiercely, then suddenly raised her hand and pulled him past, turned her feet, walked quickly towards the stream, and said viciously, "Do you want to die?!"

Relaxing his body, he allowed himself to be taken to a half-person-high rock a few meters away from the stream bank without any resistance, and was pulled to sit next to the rock by her, Polusalino raised the corners of his mouth without a trace.

She left him behind, snatched the dagger from his hand, then turned around and walked to the stream, squatted down and began to wash.

His short blade, and what she used as a weapon, his shirt.

After a while, the two cleaned things were returned to his hands, and then she became even busier.

It took her a while to gather dry wood nearby, and in the lee of the rock she struck a bonfire with two rocks she found along the shore.

When he was done, he was ordered to sit by the fire.

……

Seeing this person turn around to leave again, Polusalino reached up and grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going?"

"There must be herbs that can restrain it near the poisonous snake." She turned her face and whispered, "Your injury looks serious, I'll try my luck."

"I'm afraid I can't let you go~" Polusalino narrowed his eyes, his voice became hoarse, "I'm a man, how could I let a woman take risks."

When he spoke, he tightened his fingers, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes, "Stay here obediently, a thousand years old."

In the next second, she exerted force without warning, and pulled violently from the outside of his wrist. Polusalino felt a huge force rushing away from his tightly clasped fingers. Leaning in front of him, she stared at him silently.

The two looked at each other, and Polusalino saw his face clearly reflected in her pupils.

"Don't be silly, I'm just going to the edge of the forest."

Her thin lips opened and closed just a few feet away, and the breath he exhaled made him lose control of his heartbeat, "Didn't you notice? The entrance to the coast and the place we came out of just now have the same plants."

"It's like a warning line. If you're lucky, it's probably a herbal medicine."

……

It was not until she crossed the rugged rocky beach and reached the border between the forest and the river valley in the distance that Polusalino remembered to take a light breath to refill his chest and lungs with air.

Quietly looking at the person's back, making sure she didn't enter the forest, but bent down to look for something in the grass, for a long time, he retracted his eyes, lowered his eyes, and took the time to look at himself.

Of course Polusalino knew he was injured. His left rib was close to his armpit. When he stabbed the snakes, one of them accidentally entered the gap in the defense, and only the remnant of the head bit him.

At that time, he didn't feel anything except the momentary numbness of his skin being punctured. In addition, the situation was critical, and he didn't have time to do anything else.

At this moment, he squinted sideways and found that the wound was purple-black, and tentatively pressed it with his fingers. The area was about the size of the palm of his hand, and there was a strange feeling of numbness around the edge.

Polusalino felt that maybe he should be thankful that the poison of the gray snake is not severe, otherwise he might not be able to survive now.

His fingertips brushed over the unconscious wound, he clicked his tongue, and looked up at the edge of the forest. Seeing that the man had turned back, he immediately retracted his gaze, took the dagger that was within reach, and tried to give himself preliminary treatment .

……

He raised his left arm, turned his eyes to look at the injured area, and gestured with the dagger in his right hand. After a long time, Polusalino sighed and muttered in frustration, "I'm so unlucky~"

The angle of the wound was unfortunately located in a dead corner of sight. Only part of the poisoned and discolored skin could be seen, and the tooth marks left by the gray snake could not be found at all.

Still unable to save himself for a long time, Polusalino could only put away that thought angrily, sat cross-legged on the ground, shrugged his shoulders, and waited melancholy to be rescued.

Not long after, the man came back in a hurry.

Yang Yang held a handful of greens in her hands, and she had a joyful expression on her face, "Do you want to try it? I also saw a few gray snakes near the bushes. When I held them close to them, the snake group seemed very afraid. "

Staring at her face that looked too dazzling when she smiled, Polusalino threw away the dagger, put his hands back on the ground, tilted his head, and replied slowly, "Yeah, I'll leave it to you then." age."

"I'm going to wash it up." She ran towards the stream in a hurry past his sight.

After a moment of silence, Polusalino cast his eyes unconsciously, watched quietly for a few seconds, closed his eyes, suddenly raised his hand, and covered the subconscious upward curve of his mouth with his palm.

Have to say, she's...really sharp.

I thought her performance had already impressed him, but as the two got along longer, the surprises she brought him seemed to come one after another~ She didn't recognize the plant in Qiantui Baisui's hand, so she took a closer look just now, and he But know.

That kind of plant, which at first glance looks almost the same as the useless wild vines all over the world, with only a few subtle differences, is a rare snake medicine.

There are several specific islands in the Great Channel, and because of the value brought by their use, most of them are captive bred.

Appearing here also proves that Qiantose Baisui's analysis and his initial guess are correct.

The Snake Forest is man-made, and this island is a training ground.

He and Chitose will be here, and Polusalino guessed that the headquarters probably wanted him and her to develop a tacit understanding and a sense of mutual identity during this period.

……

Among the classmates at the same time, probably only Polusalino had a thorough investigation and understanding of the way of thinking and unspoken rules of behavior in the headquarters.

There are unwritten rules in the Navy Headquarters, which are not officially enforced. However, for some reason, the vast majority of senior generals will eventually form such a behavior pattern as if it is natural.

An iron triangle.

The current high-ranking officers of the navy, Marshal Kong and former general Zefa, have fought for half their lives on the battlefield. The people they trust the most are not their wives, children and family members, but their side, or at the same level or at different levels. In short, they have been friends for decades. comrades.

Even Sengoku generals follow the triangular pattern of behavior.

Warring States of Buddha, Garp the Iron Fist, plus Staff Officer Crane known as [Brain of the Navy].

Those people joined the navy and fought side by side for many years. They have a deep relationship with each other and trust each other more than a father and son husband and wife.

It's not love, and it can't be summed up as simple friendship, but it's deeper than those two feelings, and it's also more stable.

The Navy Headquarters set up an internship plan. Polusalino originally thought that Chitose was excluded from the iron triangle of elite students, but he did not expect that he met her.

It's just...he doesn't seem to reject it~

Taking off the hand that half-covered the corner of his mouth, Polusalino raised his head and stared blankly at the sky.

He and Qiantui Baisui, so... who else is there?

The author has something to say:

Xinkeng new weather~

Please bookmark ~ please leave a message to sprinkle flowers and land mines ~ roll and ask for yingying ~

So, the one missing from the triangle, guess who?
