There are simply too many colubrid snakes.

Even the well-informed Populus euphratica felt scared.

But he calmed down immediately and thought of a countermeasure.

No matter what kind of beast they are, they are naturally afraid of fire, and they can be driven away by just lighting a torch.

But it's not enough for him alone. He must also stabilize other teammates to prevent them from fleeing in panic.

"Don't be afraid. These are mildly venomous colubrids. Their toxicity is not high. Moreover, they are particularly afraid of fire. We will light a fire and they will run away."

As Hu Yang said this, he picked up a stone and threw it at Wu Xiaotian, who was still sleeping soundly.

The stone drew a parabola in the air, hitting Wu Xiaotian right in the nose. Wu Xiaotian screamed in pain and got up.

"Who, who hit me?"

However, no one answered him, and the whole world seemed to have stopped.

Wu Xiaotian also realized something was wrong, and suddenly there was a cold numbness on the instep of his feet.

When I lowered my head, I saw a gray-brown snake.

"ah!"

Hu Xiaotian, who looked impatient just now, was like a mouse whose tail was stepped on. He screamed and jumped up and down, stumbling and running this way. However, he lost his footing and leaned back, instantly hitting Zhang Haoran.

Zhang Haoran was also awakened. He blinked his eyes first, then pushed Hu Xiaotian away and got up.

The sharp stone cut Hu Xiaotian's arm, causing blood to flow profusely.

"Light the fire, make the fire quickly."

Populus euphratica quickly stepped forward and grabbed a handful of dead branches and prepared to light a fire. However, as soon as his hand touched the branch, he felt something was wrong. When he looked down, he realized that what kind of branch he was grabbing was a branch more than one meter long.

snake.

Populus euphratica threw the colubrid out almost instinctively.

I don't know if the blood irritated the snakes, or if the vibrations on the ground angered them.

The group of snakes that had been watching just now started to attack all at once. They twisted their slender bodies, raised their heads, and pushed forward in layers like black waves.

"Don't come here!"

Leng Qingxue waved her hands away and moved closer to Populus euphratica.

At this time, a swimming snake suddenly fell from the air and landed on Ye Qingqing's neck in an instant.

"ah!"

Ye Qingqing let out a harsh scream.

When Liu Jie saw this, he tore off the snake and threw it out.

But immediately another snake fell from the sky. They twisted their bodies, opened their mouths wide, and exposed their sharp snake teeth.

Liu Jie turned away and picked up a branch.

Before Liu Jie could drive them away, the scene that frightened everyone appeared, and countless snakes fell from the sky like rain, one after another.

The snake attack officially kicked off.

Liu Jie waved a wooden stick and beat the snakes he saw, but there were so many snakes that in the blink of an eye, several people's bodies were covered with snakes.

Almost at the same time, the colliding snakes on the ground also launched a surprise attack. The speed of these guys was astonishingly fast. They were in front of everyone in the blink of an eye, and then they started to bite without even opening their mouths.

At this moment, Liu Jie finally understood why there were so many bones in the cave.

It turns out that this is the nest of colubrid snakes.

Those white bones are all the remains left behind by them.

Everyone fell into confusion and almost instinctively ran away toward the cave entrance.

More and more colubrids were knocked over, their white bellies flashed past the gray figures, and they returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Thin branches are nothing more than a scratch to them.

Fortunately, Hu Yang still had a dagger in his hand. When he waved the dagger, he almost saw blood. The sharp dagger was like chopping melons and vegetables. With a single pull, several snakes were cut off.

Despite this, the problem still cannot be solved. The number of colubrid snakes is simply too great, and this casualty is completely negligible for them.

The killed colubrids also became food. Their twisted bodies were swallowed by other colubrids before they were fully dead.

Often before a snake even touches the ground, countless colliding snakes pounce on it to snatch it.

That scene was really scary.

Although there were no more snakes in the sky after retreating to the entrance of the cave, the number of snakes on the ground still increased, because they could not be driven away due to lack of weapons.

"This won't work. If the snake is eaten here, we will all be exhausted." Zhang Haoran gasped and said loudly.

"Light the fire. Everyone is a cold-blooded animal. They are most afraid of fire." Populus euphratica was also very tired. He didn't even know how many snakes he had killed. At this moment, his sore hands and feet could no longer bear it.

"Liu Jie, cover me!"

Populus euphratica shouted and rushed towards the firewood. Liu Jie immediately waved his branches and stepped forward to drive away the snakes.

Seeing this, Zhang Haoran also joined the snake chasing team.

With the joint efforts of the two people, a road was finally opened. Populus euphratica took all the firewood back in one breath, picked up a piece of bark and quickly scraped some sawdust and lit the firewood.

The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the cave was illuminated by blazing flames.

Seeing this, the snakes retreated to avoid it.

Seeing this, Populus euphratica quickly dispersed the firewood to everyone to make torches, and at the same time threw out some burning branches.

Some snakes couldn't dodge and bumped into the flames, squeaking in pain.

This trick worked. The snakes couldn't stand it any longer and fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they all got into the cracks in the rocks and disappeared without a trace.

"Don't run, why are you running? Come on, keep going." Hu Xiaotian waved a torch and rushed to the front.
