Chen Jie came to the cave and stood up directly. It was very spacious inside and the stand was also very high, almost four or five meters high. Chen Jie put away the lighter and planned to explore around.
If I had known I would find such a water source, I would have brought the Luminous Pearl in directly.
Listening to the sound of running water inside, Chen Jie was a little excited. After all, he had not touched the water source for several days, and now he finally found the water source.
squeak squeak
A mouse nearby squeaked. Chen Jie picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of the sound. Then he heard the sound of the mouse running away.
Continuing to walk forward, Chen Jie stretched out his hand and touched the ground. It was wet. Chen Jie slowed down and explored bit by bit.
Suddenly, a flash of white light caught Chen Jie's attention. Chen Jie stopped, squatted down, and carefully observed the white light in front of him.
After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Jie saw nothing happened, raised his legs and walked towards the white light.
When Chen Jie walked into the white light, he discovered that it turned out to be a snow lotus. Chen Jie had only seen this kind of snow lotus in old fragments of books.
This kind of snow lotus only grows in dark and humid places. It is bright white and has a fresh taste. It emits a faint white light. This kind of snow lotus can detoxify hundreds of poisons.
It also has the effect of prolonging life, which is rare and rare in the world.
Chen Jie looked at the snow lotus in front of him and was extremely shocked. He never thought that he had never believed that there could be such a magical snow lotus in the world.
Now, it actually appeared in front of me.
Stretching out his hand and gently touching the stamens of the snow lotus, Chen Jie felt a slight chill on his fingertips, and a chill swept through his body.
Hiss hiss
A familiar voice sounded, and Chen Jie's expression turned cold. He took out the ax in his arms and looked in the direction of the sound.
Under the illumination of the white lotus, Chen Jie soon saw a pair of big black eyes, staring closely at him.
It seems that this is the mythical beast that protects the white lotus. It is said that even a rare and unusual plant like the white lotus will be guarded by a ferocious mythical beast, which will not change for hundreds of years.
Could it be true?
Chen Jie looked at the python in front of him with a puzzled look and thought of his own scarf. Not to mention the python scarf, it was really comfortable when worn around it.
It's a pity that the python ran away just now, otherwise he really wanted to keep it and keep it as a pet.
Hiss hiss
The python sent a signal again, wanting Chen Jie to stay away from its baby.
It's a pity that Chen Jie was already prepared when he saw the snow lotus. He wanted to put the snow lotus into his pocket. How could he give up so easily.
And it was just a small python. In Chen Jie's eyes, it posed no threat at all.
"I'm going to order this flower. If you're interested, hurry up and leave, or I'll take it with you."
Chen Jie stood next to Snow Lotus and looked coldly at the python beside him, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too dark here for him to perform well, he would have collected the little python long ago.
Hiss hiss
There was a strange noise, which made Chen Jie's scalp numb. He took out the lighter in his arms. He lit it and swung it around. Only then did he realize that the surroundings were filled with dense snakes. Chen Jie instantly woke up.
Got goosebumps.
Although he is not afraid of snakes, there are too many snakes around here!
He just glanced at it and found that there must be tens of thousands of snakes at least. He had no idea how many were poisonous or non-venomous. Moreover, there was no light here, so he was really at a disadvantage by himself.
Hiss hiss
The python made a warning sound again and crawled forward.
"Forget it, give it to you. I'm not ready today. When I am ready, I will come back."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he picked up the lighter in his arms and shined it towards the ground. When he saw a snake blocking his way, Chen Jie kicked it away.
If you refuse to have close contact with a snake, wouldn't it be too tragic if the snake was poisonous?
Fortunately, Chen Jie didn't go far and soon came to the hole he had dug. When he got out of the hole, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the air outside smelled good. He smelled a wet and sticky smell inside the cave. He thought it was the smell of mice, but he didn't know it was the smell emanating from the snakes.
Wait, something is wrong!
If there are thousands of snakes out there, why are there still rats?
Aren’t snakes and rats natural enemies?
Weird, this is too weird, the more I think about it, the more something is wrong!
Scary to think about
"Captain, what's wrong with you?
Why does your face look so ugly?
What's inside?
Is there a water source?”
Xiao Baihe saw Chen Jie walking out with a livid face and asked quickly.
Chen Jie stopped, turned around, and glanced at the cave with a complicated expression.
"Let's go, don't come here again."
After saying that, Chen Jie didn't give any explanation to Lily Xiao, he just picked up the bamboo basket and walked forward.
Xiao Baihe looked at the dug cave, and then at Chen Jie's back, with a look of confusion on his face. However, Chen Jie had already walked away, so Xiao Baihe didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly chased after him.
Along the way, Chen Jie said nothing, looked serious, and seemed to be in a bad mood.
Xiao Baihe followed all the way, looking at Chen Jie's pale face, and did not dare to ask further questions, thinking to wait until Chen Jie's mood calmed down before talking.
After walking for a while, the two people walked out of the woods. Looking at the road in front of them, Chen Jie stopped.
Xiao Baihe also stopped quickly and looked around. Although he didn't see the water source, it was really beautiful here, just like a painting.
"Take a rest and continue on your way."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he sighed.
"Captain, are you angry?"
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie carefully, because the captain was rarely so serious, which made her a little confused.
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw the expression on Xiao Baihe's face, his heart softened.
"Sorry, I just had a bad attitude."
Chen Jie apologized directly without thinking.
He did something wrong in the first place, and it was natural for him to apologize.
Xiao Baihe didn't expect Chen Jie to apologize to her. She was stunned for several seconds before she realized what she was doing.
"No, no, captain, did something happen to you?
Does it make you unhappy there?"
Seeing Chen Jie's expression soften, Xiao Baihe wanted to ask the question that worried her most.
"Don't go to that place again."
Chen Jie didn't want to describe the situation in the cave anymore, so he had to say something perfunctory.
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie and really didn't want to say anything. After thinking about it, she stopped asking further.
"Captain, this place looks so beautiful, and the location is open. It's a pity that there is no water source. Otherwise, it would be good for us to set up a tent here."
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie with a pity expression.
She liked it very much when she first saw it.
"You want to live here?"
Chen Jie looked forward and saw that this was indeed a nice place. Unfortunately, there were no caves or water sources, so it was not suitable for long-term living.
