It was much easier to walk under the night sky than under the sun. In addition, the Ancient City of Jingjue was near, so everyone was more excited. They didn't stop walking. Although it was said that a horse would die if it ran when it looked at the mountain, they still walked to the foot of the mountain in one breath.
It was already three or four o'clock in the morning. It would probably be dawn soon.
The moonlight shone on the black mountain, but there was no reflection. No, there was not even a light source left. Although the moon was very bright today, there was no way to guide everyone here.
Looking at the pitch-black mountain pass, everyone felt a little anxious, as if they were stepping into a huge abyss.
Everyone got off their camels and walked. Huba reminded them,""Everyone, keep your eyes open. I think Zhou You has already told everyone that this place is very evil. Remember, not only do you have to pay attention to your surroundings, but you also have to pay attention to your feet.”
Hearing Hu Ba's words, everyone became nervous. For a moment, everyone perked up and walked forward carefully.
As they walked, the camel's breathing suddenly became rough, and he began to feel anxious.
Seeing this, Zhou You immediately shouted,""Everyone, be careful. There must be danger ahead. Hu Ba threw a Cold Flame over.”
"Alright!"
Uncle Anman managed to stabilize the camel after throwing out the Cold Flames.
There was a small section of the valley in front of him. On both sides of the valley were pitch-black rocks. The ground was thick with yellow sand. The mountain was empty and there was not even a single blade of grass.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi took a few steps under the illumination of the Cold Flame and threw out a second Cold Flame. As the flame lit up, the few of them suddenly noticed a person sitting in the distance.
At that moment, everyone was shocked, followed by curiosity.
Hu Ba looked at Zhou You and said,""What should we do? There seems to be a dead person. Shall we go and take a look?”
Zhou You immediately shook his head." Don't go over. The camels aren't afraid of a dead person. That means the thing that attacked them is still there. It can't be a curse, so it's most likely a snake."”
"Xue Li, Fatty, you two hold your guns and cover from behind. Old Hu, wait for me there."
Zhou You said as he took out a shovel from behind him and carefully walked towards Hu Bayi.
This person was dressed in a white robe, with a sand-proof headscarf on his head and a backpack on his back. He died in an extremely strange manner. No one could see his appearance clearly because the man was wearing a scarf, but his exposed eyes were staring at the sky. His eyes were open, as if he had died without any warning.
Seeing that this person's skin had not dried up after his death, Hu Ba said softly,""He died less than a day ago, maybe only a few hours.”
Zhou You looked at this person strangely. Although this person was dressed in white, it seemed to be a specially made military uniform. Zhou You had a vague guess in his mind, but he couldn't verify it for now. At least, he could wait until he killed these black-eyed snakes.
"Old Hu, throw a few cold fireworks around.”
When Hu Ba heard this, he wiped three sticks in a row and threw them to the sides and the front. As the cold flames fell, the surroundings were lit up. Then, dead people appeared one by one.
There were at least six people in this group. At least six people had died before them. There were four dead people lying on the ground beside him. Their eyes were also wide open in fear, and they looked strange.
"Everyone, be careful. There must be snakes here!”
As Zhou You finished speaking, a snake suddenly crawled out from the corpse that was first discovered. The snake's scales were sparkling and could be seen in the night. It had a black crest on its head, but its body was not long, only about 30 centimeters long.
Fortunately, no one was around when the snake appeared, but it was now swimming towards Zhou You and Hu Ba. From the moment Zhou You mentioned the snake, everyone's attention was focused on the ground. Fatty had sharp eyes and was the first to notice the snake.
"Old Hu, be careful behind you."
Fatty had already fired as he spoke. However, although this snake was small, its speed was extraordinary. In addition, the target was too small. For a moment, Fatty's marksmanship actually missed the target three times in a row. Xue Li Yang was standing in a bad spot, and the snake was blocked by Fatty Wang.
The little snake was extremely fast. In two breaths, it was less than two meters away from the two of them. By the time Xue Li Yang had taken two steps forward, the snake had already retracted its body and sprung up.
The two of them had been on tenterhooks since the moment the snake came over. The moment the snake jumped up, Huba made the first move.
This snake was attacking Zhou You, and Hu Bayi was right in front of him. Hu Bayi's skills were quite good. He did not miss and instantly cut the strange snake into two halves.
However, Zhou You didn't relax. After the snake was cut in half, Zhou You slapped the snake with his shovel and sent it flying a few meters away.
Seeing Hu Bayi's puzzled expression, Zhou You explained,""Even if the snake dies, it can still attack for a short period of time.”
At this moment, gunshots rang out. The sudden gunshots gave Zhou You and his companion a fright. It had to be known that the gunshots were not far from them. However, when Zhou You and Hu Bayi followed the sound of the gunshot, they saw a dead snake less than four meters behind them.
For a moment, the two of them had ugly expressions on their faces. They nodded at Xue Li Yang to express their gratitude.
