Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 106 Snake Swamp Ghost Town 11

Chen Wenjin wanted Zhang Qiling to expel Jiang Xinxin from the team, but she coveted the very effective snake repellent potion in Jiang Xinxin's hand. Zhang Qiling directly refused.

"She won't be 'it', I promise."

Chen Wenjin didn't believe it, especially since her own situation was very bad right now. And Zhang Qiling was abnormally trusting a little girl who suddenly appeared and had extraordinary means. It was hard for her not to think that Zhang Qiling was deceived by "it".

Chen Wenjin said anxiously: "Then I don't want the snake repellent potion. Please let Miss Jiang leave. I can't afford any risk..."

Zhang Qiling was also helpless. He knew that Chen Wenjin was in a very dangerous situation, but he also believed in his own feelings. It was an intuition that came from his soul and was more accurate than the innate wisdom of their Zhang family.

In the end, neither of them could convince the other, and they could only barely maintain the current situation.

But after Zhang Qiling returned, he was inevitably pulled aside by Wu Xie and Fatty for questioning. When they just got up, they figured out from the footprints that the person who stole things last night was a woman.

Of course Zhang Qiling would not reveal Chen Wenjin's identity, but Fatty and Wu Xie were smart enough. Especially Wu Xie, he suddenly remembered the so-called daughter-in-law of the old guide, who happened to look very similar to Chen Wenjin, so he boldly guessed: "The person who came last night was Aunt Wenjin, right? She was the daughter-in-law of Dingzhu Zhuoma before!"

Zhang Qiling did not deny it, which meant he admitted it.

Wu Xie was so excited that he didn't even want to eat breakfast. He was ready to follow his third uncle's route and rush to the Queen Mother of the West Palace.

"When we first saw the signal smoke yesterday, my uncle and his men were behind us. But at night their camp was in front of us, and the people disappeared. I guess they must have traveled a long way before dark yesterday, and their route was the shortest!"

Wu Xie's analysis convinced Fatty, Pan Zi and Zhang Qiling, and even Aning looked at Jiang Xinxin after listening.

Jiang Xinxin shrugged and said, "Anyway, the route I'm optimistic about next should overlap with your Third Uncle's and Third Master's. If there is really a disagreement, I'll just go my own way. Anyway, we will all meet at the Queen Mother of the West Palace in the end."

Wu Xie thanked him repeatedly. Now there was no need for Zhang Qiling to walk in front to clear the way. The path under their feet looked like it was often walked on. Although the plants on both sides were lush, they did not completely cover the path under their feet.

The fat man, who had more life experience, couldn't help but start to think wildly: "It's not like there are people coming to this rain forest every year, but the appearance of a well-traveled path like this is really a bit abnormal."

"It just so happens that we confirmed yesterday that there were at least three giant pythons living in this rain forest. Could it be that this road was carved out by those giant pythons?"

Aning was the first to agree: "It is very likely that this is the case. I have been to the Amazon jungle in South America and have seen with my own eyes how the giant pythons living in the jungle can carve out a path for people to pass through in places where no one else can."

Wu Xie felt a chill down his spine after hearing this. "That is to say, if it weren't for Miss Jiang's snake repellent, we might have already encountered the giant python that opened up this path?"

Pan Zi quickly comforted Wu Xie and said, "Young Third Master, do you still not trust Miss Jiang's snake repellent? Since these pheasant necks can only follow us and dare not approach us, even if we encounter a giant python head-on, it will not be dangerous."

Jiang Xinxin corrected Pan Zi, "I did see two big snakes in this rain forest, but they were not repelled by my potion and dared not approach. Instead, they were afraid of following our pheasant necks all the way, so they avoided us early."

The fat man just felt unbelievable: "Oh my God, I only knew that the pheasant neck was poisonous, but I didn't expect that they could also deter giant pythons!"

Wu Xie also shuddered. Before he could say anything, Zhang Qiling discovered that there was a person lying on his back on the ground in front of him on the left, moving towards the river.

Zhang Qiling took two quick steps and then stopped. The people behind him followed him. Then they saw a group of red and black snakes with rooster combs on their heads wriggling, dragging a man in white clothes wearing only underwear towards the river.

The fat man's throat was dry and he began to stutter: "My... that snake... can actually take off clothes...?"

The horrifying scene was ruined by the fat man's words. Aning explained, "From my perspective, it seems that these snakes are either using that person as a reserve food, or that the pheasant's neck needs a human body to incubate."

Pan Zi carefully identified the body, swallowed his saliva and said to everyone: "I remember that person seemed to be one of the bodies we found yesterday..."

Fatty quickly pushed Wu Xie away and came close to Zhang Qiling, holding his arm for a sense of security, "These snakes are pretty fast, they can do the equivalent of two or three hours of walking for us in one night!"

Everyone continued to move forward, and then they really found the body that was buried yesterday. However, no one dared to take the body back from Shekou and bury it again. Even Wu Xie said that if the body was taken back and buried again, Pheasant Neck might be able to dig it out again.

Fortunately, although they encountered many pheasant necks along the way, because of the snake repellent, no pheasant neck dared to approach them. They also found traces of a new campfire along the way, which showed that Wu Sansheng and his team did not encounter too much danger.

In the afternoon, everyone found the remains of the camp of Wu Sanxing and his group again. Wu Xie searched the area carefully again. When he went out to solve his personal problems, he found a message from Wu Sanxing on a cliff near the ground.

The message was still talking about the dangers of the Queen Mother of the West Palace and the rainforest, and asked him to go back, saying that it was for his own good.

Wu Xie couldn't hold back his anger as soon as he saw it. When he returned to everyone, he didn't even want to give Pan Zi a good look. Even Fatty was taken out on him.

Wu Xie said bitterly, "The guy here said he was hired by Aning, but he actually got paid by my Third Uncle. Fatty, you said you couldn't come because you had something else to do, but it turned out that the other thing was my Third Uncle's business. Pan Zi, you too, didn't follow my Third Uncle at first, but it was my Third Uncle who arranged for you to come here!"

"So the guy here had two jobs from the beginning, and Fatty and Pan Zi also had two jobs later. Now I have nothing, and Aning has to pay a few cents extra. Anyway, Aning and I are the same old nemesis!"

Listening to Wu Xie complaining about his grievances, Aning laughed out loud, "If you feel bad, go back and ask Wu Sanxing to compensate me two points."

Wu Xie was unhappy again after hearing about the compensation: "Go find whoever cheated you. I was not speaking for you just now. If you want to go through me to find my Third Uncle, then I advise you not to waste your time."
