Perhaps, the reason why the snake did not continue to follow them was not because it was afraid of them, but because it did not want to be near here.
If that's the reason, there's a big problem with this place.
None of the few people took it lightly, Ouyang Changfeng and Xuanyuan Menglong, who were relatively weak, had already grasped the knives prepared in advance.
The crowd continued to walk so cautiously.
Brother Eagle is no longer in the mood to joke just now. He squinted and stared at the surrounding trees suspiciously, "I don't think these trees look right. Can you recognize what species these trees are?"
The others shook their heads.
Even the well-informed Xuanyuan Menglong said, "I have never seen this kind of tree before, and it is very likely that it is mutated."
Brother Eagle took off a few leaves from a passing tree and observed it.
Most of these leaves are the size of a palm, and the edges are not smooth like ordinary leaves, but jagged.
It would be fine if only a few trees were like this. After all, it was normal for a few different trees to grow occasionally in a forest.
The problem is that most of the trees here are basically like this, which is weird.
And the trunks of these trees are not all straight, most of them are curved and circling, and the branches grow as they want.
If you walk here at night, it will definitely make people shudder, and feel that these trees are all showing their claws.
And this leaf also exudes an indescribable strange smell, not the ordinary fragrance of grass and trees, it even makes people feel a little nauseated.
Brother Eagle endured the discomfort and put the leaves under his nose and smelled it carefully, but he couldn't tell what the smell was.
"Okay, don't study this tree, no matter how weird this tree is, the token can't grow in the tree, hurry up." Dai Lin urged.
Looking at the tall trees around her, she felt very depressed, so she couldn't wait to get out of here.
Brother Eagle nodded and threw the leaves to the ground.
The next moment, he heard some kind of subtle voice coming from behind him, but the voice was very small, and it disappeared after only one ring.
Because he hadn't forgotten the snake just now, Brother Eagle held the knife and turned around like lightning without even thinking about it, but the ground was empty and there was nothing.
"Scared me, I thought there was something." Brother Eagle exhaled, turned around and continued walking. This time he was in charge of the rear pad, and Ji Feng opened the way at the front, so there was no one behind him.
But before taking a few steps, he remembered something and turned his head to look back.
There was still nothing behind him.
But Brother Eagle's face turned a little blue.
He poked Dai Lin who was walking in front of him.
"What's the matter?" Dai Lin asked in confusion, seeing that his face was not very good-looking.
"Back, on the ground, there is nothing on the ground." Brother Eagle stammered.
"Isn't there nothing on the ground? What else do you want?" Dai Lin said speechlessly.
"No, it's really nothing. If you don't believe me, look back." Brother Eagle said anxiously, pointing behind him.
At this time, because they heard their voices, the others also stopped, and everyone looked back in the direction of Brother Eagle's fingers.
The ground is empty and relatively clean.
"Should there be something on the ground?" Dai Lin said impatiently, not understanding what Brother Eagle wanted to express.
"Leaves, the leaves he just threw to the ground are gone." Ouyang Yu noticed something was wrong and said slowly.
Those few leaves are the size of a palm, and the leaves are thick and thick, and they all add up to a certain weight. They are not as light as ordinary small leaves, which are lightly blown by the wind and do not know where they are going.
The wind here is not strong. It stands to reason that those few leaves should still be on the ground now, but the ground is bare and there are no leaves.
That's the problem.
"Yes, yes. I heard a very soft voice just now, and when I turned around, I found that the leaves were gone." Brother Eagle said excitedly.
He really wasn't making a fuss, but those leaves couldn't just disappear for no reason.
Since it was not blown away by the wind, it means that something smuggled it away secretly.
"Could it be the snake? But what does the snake want the leaves for?" Dalene wondered.
"It shouldn't be it, didn't Ji Feng not hear him?" Ouyang Yu still believed in Ji Feng's five senses.
"I really didn't hear the snake moving." Ji Feng said.
The snake was huge, and even if it followed them carefully, it would definitely make a little noise.
Besides, the place they were passing through now was much more open under the mountain, and there were no small grasses or the like around.
The snake was so big that if it kept following them, there was absolutely no place to hide, and it would be easy to spot.
"It's not a snake, what is that?" Brother Eagle stared at the surroundings, but found nothing.
If it really was the snake, it would be fine. After all, everyone had dealt with that snake. If they really wanted to fight, the snake would definitely not be their opponent.
But now they don't even know what that thing is, which is more terrifying than snakes.
"Let's go ahead first, if something is staring at us, it will definitely show up." Ji Feng spoke, and the others did not continue to waste time in place.
After walking a few more steps, Brother Eagle heard the original strange sound again, like the sound of breaking the air.
Then, as soon as his eyes flashed, he felt the back of his right hand go numb, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Before he could react to what happened, the knife on the ground quickly disappeared.
"Fuck!" Brother Eagle scolded, not in the mood to pay attention to the knife, so he looked down at the back of his hand first.
I saw that something had cut a hole there. Although the cut was not deep, the wound turned into a terrifying black and purple color, and the entire right hand was no longer conscious.
Moreover, the numbness continued to spread, and it was estimated that his arms would not be able to move in a short while.
"The thing that attacked me just now is poisonous." Brother Eagle yelled.
Ouyang Yu immediately took out the medicine bottle that Qian Lao gave them before, took out a detoxification pill from it, and gave it to Brother Eagle to eat.
I have to say that the pill is really effective. After Brother Eagle took it, the numbness that kept spreading on his arm disappeared, and after a few minutes, his right hand was gradually able to move.
Dai Lin took out the gauze she carried with her and helped him wrap the wound. Brother Eagle's face was black and scary.
Not because of the injury, but because he was hit without even seeing what the thing looked like.
And that thing is also very poisonous, if they hadn't had antidote pills, he might have fallen by now.
