Chapter 44 This island is mysterious

"Yes, so for the sake of your life, swallow it."

Chen Jie handed the snake gallbladder in his hand forward, placed it in front of Xiao Baihe, and looked at her firmly.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Baihe stretched out his hand and tremblingly picked up the snake gallbladder in Chen Jie's hand. Just looking at the black snake gallbladder in front of him, Xiao Baihe really didn't have the courage to put it in his mouth.

Seeing Xiao Baihe in such difficulty, Chen Jie raised his head, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on a fruit tree.

"wait for me a while."

After saying that, Chen Jie walked towards the fruit tree and observed it underneath. Chen Jie suddenly jumped up from the ground, hugged the shortest branch, and shook it vigorously a few times.

One by one, the red fruits fell with a crackle. Some of the ripe fruits fell to the ground and smashed, while other greener fruits lay on the ground intact.

Chen Jie picked some fruits and walked towards Lily Xiao.

"Here, eat some fruit and squeeze it."

Chen Jie handed the fruit in his hand to Xiao Baihe.

Looking at the fruit in Chen Jie's hand, Xiao Baihe was a little touched. Not only did Chen Jie give her such precious snake gall, he also helped her pick the fruit out of fear that she wouldn't be able to swallow it.

A warm feeling passed through her heart, making Lily Xiao's eyes turn red.

Even in the previous city, the people she came into contact with were all interested in profit first, and even her best friend stabbed her in the back.

So she became indifferent and unwilling to talk to others. It can be said that she was bitten by a snake once and feared for ten years.

But she didn't expect that on this desert island, she would actually feel the warmth of the world.

"What's wrong? Although the taste of this fruit is average, just make do with it."

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Baihe's red eyes and thought that Xiao Baihe was scared, so he comforted her.

Lily Xiao shook her head, sniffed, and spoke choked with sobs.

"Chen Jie, why are you so nice to me?"

"ah?"

Chen Jie was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Baihe to ask such a question. For a moment, Chen Jie didn't know how to answer.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Jie scratched his head and spoke honestly.

"You are my team member, and I will be responsible for you. We are a team."

Hearing Chen Jie's words, Xiao Baihe's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. It turned out that he only regarded himself as a team member. Thinking of this, Xiao Baihe smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the snake gallbladder in his hand, and swallowed it directly.

"you……"

When Chen Jie saw Xiao Baihe's actions, he couldn't help but be startled. He looked happy just now, why did his face suddenly change?

"Let's go, don't waste time."

After saying that, Xiao Baihe got up from the ground and limped forward regardless of the injury on his leg.

Chen Jie shrugged and followed quickly.

The two of them walked along the winding path for about an hour.

Xiao Baihe seemed to be tireless and kept walking forward angrily.

"etc."

Chen Jie suddenly called out to the woman in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Baihe turned around angrily, watched Chen Jie walking towards the grass, and couldn't help but follow him.

"Why are there so many tools here?"

Chen Jie picked up tools of different styles, which were covered with patina, but it was not difficult to see that these tools should have been produced by the same factory, because the styles and patterns were basically the same.

"Is there someone here too?"

Xiao Baihe walked up to Chen Jie, squatted down, looked at the tools on the ground, and felt a surge of joy in her heart. It seemed that this was not an uninhabited island. Someone had come here to explore the way.

Chen Jie pursed his lips and looked at the thing in front of him seriously.

These tools are rarely seen in daily life, because these are professional tomb robbing tools.

The reason why Chen Jie is so familiar is because Chen Jie is a fan of tomb robberies. As long as they are movies, TV series, and even novels about tomb robbers, they are Chen Jie's favorite.

Therefore, facing these tools, Chen Jie not only did not feel unfamiliar, but also felt a little heavy.

These people are here specifically to rob tombs, but it is not difficult to tell from the rust on it that it must be at least ten or twenty years old. What has happened here?

And who paved this stone road, and why are these tools here?

Could it be that those tomb robbers had died here?

If this is really the case, wouldn't their hope of returning become even slimmer?

"Chen Jie, what are you thinking about? I called you several times."

Xiao Baihe called Chen Jie for a long time, and found that Chen Jie didn't look at her at all, but just stared at the tool in his hand in a daze, so Xiao Baihe had to reach out and push Chen Jie.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Baihe beside him, licked his lips and said.

"Do you know what these are?"

Chen Jie handed the tools in his hand to Xiao Baihe and let her see these different tools clearly.

Xiao Baihe looked at it carefully, shook his head honestly, and looked at Chen Jie innocently.

"I don't know, I've never seen any of these tools."

"These are tools used by tomb robbers, and this bag, although it has rotted, still has some granules in it, which should be used to get rid of insects and ants in the tomb."

Chen Jie picked up the branch and poked it in a small cloth bag on the side. Sure enough, there were some yellow, black, and condensed lumps inside.

"Tomb robbery? Is there any treasure here?"

Xiao Baihe's eyes lit up, and she felt like she had found a treasure.

"Oh, even if you find the treasure, you still need to be able to take it out."

Chen Jie couldn't help pouring cold water on it and looked at Lily Xiao's shining little face.

"There can't really be..."

Xiao Baihe was just halfway through her words when she saw Chen Jie making a silent movement.

There was an unpleasant stench coming from nowhere, and then the sound of tires scraping across the ground was heard. Although the sound was not loud, it gave people a creepy feeling.

"Let's go back to the path first."

Chen Jie grabbed Xiao Baihe's arm and ran out of the grass.

Fortunately, we were close and we arrived at the path without taking more than two steps.

From where they were just now, a huge python suddenly sprang out from the ground, even fatter than yesterday.

It was about ten meters tall, with a pair of eyes that were bigger than a copper bell. It opened its huge mouth and spat words at them.

"My C, why is it so big? Is it really the python that became a spirit?"

Chen Jie exclaimed, looking at the huge creature in front of him, his legs felt a little weak.

But Chen Jie knew very well that since the two of them were seen by the giant python, one of them had to sacrifice, otherwise they would be chased by the giant python here.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie stabilized his mind, pretended to be calm and looked at the giant python in front of him, and whispered.

"Seize the opportunity and run away. Leave me alone."
