Xiao Baihe's eyes widened, she adjusted her breathing, nodded, and signaled Chen Jie to let go of her.
Chen Jie slowly let go of his hand and sighed when he heard Xiao Baihe's rapid breathing.
If it weren't for avoiding the torrential rain, he would never have brought Lily Xiao back here again.
"There are treasures here, that's why there are so many snakes protecting us. Don't be afraid, as long as we don't hurt them, they won't come to us."
Chen Jie tried to calm Xiao Baihe's emotions.
After all, in his mind, Xiao Baihe was an example of a female warrior and would not be afraid of snakes at all, but he didn't expect Xiao Baihe to have such a big reaction.
"I'm sorry, captain, I didn't expect there to be so many snakes, and I couldn't control them for a while."
Xiao Baihe had already accepted the fact at this time, but it still needed some time to adapt.
"It's okay, sit down and take a rest."
Chen Jie helped Xiao Baihe sit down, and the two drowned rats, all wet, sat against the wall on the cold ground.
The two of them were silent, and they could hear each other's breathing.
"You take a rest here, I'll look around to see if there's anything."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he stood up.
"Captain, I'll go with you."
Xiao Baihe grabbed Chen Jie's arm and stood up, planning to accompany Chen Jie.
"You stay, I'll be back soon."
Chen Jie was afraid and patted Xiao Baihe on the shoulder, took out his lighter and took a photo around him.
Chen Jie walked towards his goal.
"Captain! You have to be careful alone."
After Xiao Baihe finished speaking, she stretched out her arms and hugged her arms tightly, her heart pounding.
Although she is bold and skilled, she is still a normal woman who can be afraid and feel helpless.
Chen Jie followed the route he had seen before and came to a statue of a god. He reached out and took out a lighter and lit the flame.
After seeing what he needed, Chen Jie stretched out his hand and pulled it down. A thick puff of dust hit his face, making Chen Jie sneeze several times.
"Captain, what happened?"
Xiao Baihe had been listening carefully to Chen Jie's movements. When she heard Chen Jie cough suddenly, Xiao Baihe immediately became worried.
"Ahem... I'm fine... Ahem..." Chen Jie coughed for a long time before he calmed down.
Touching the sticky cloth in his hand, Chen Jie was a little disgusted, but there was no better way now. If they didn't use this thing, they would probably freeze to death here.
Based on his feeling, Chen Jie touched the cloth in his hand and shook the dust on it. Another burst of thick dust came towards his face.
This time Chen Jie learned the lesson and closed his eyes, stopped breathing for a few seconds, felt the dust had fallen, then opened his eyes, touched the wall, and walked back.
Walking to Xiao Baihe's side, Chen Jie handed the cloth in his hand to Xiao Baihe.
"Lily, just put it on and I'll find something to make a fire."
"Captain, you're still wearing it, and you're getting wet too."
Xiao Baihe shook his head, and suddenly remembered that Chen Jie couldn't see him, so he quickly said something.
Chen Jie directly put the cloth in his hand into Xiao Baihe's arms.
"Don't worry about me, I'm a man."
After saying that, Chen Jie walked around based on his memory, groping along the wall. Occasionally there would be some tingling on his feet. Chen Jie would step lightly. If his feet were tingling, he would change positions.
After all, they are occupying someone else's position now, so they can't go too far.
After searching around, Chen Jie found some rags that had become tattered over time. He had no choice but to use these emergency measures first.
Returning to Xiao Baihe, Chen Jie took out his lighter and lit the piece of cloth he had found.
The fire was burning very brightly, but Xiao Baihe and Chen Jie were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
I saw densely packed snakes surrounding them not far away, which looked like a snake cave and was as numb as a snake.
"Captain, I think it's better for us to leave here."
Lily Xiao had goosebumps all over her body and turned her head away, not daring to look at the scene in front of her.
If there were one or two snakes, she wouldn't be so afraid.
There were so many snakes here that she was really panicked, and she was very panicked.
"We can't go out, we will freeze to death if we go out, and there is a heavy thunderstorm outside, so we will make do with it here today."
Chen Jie also gave up the idea of making a fire.
With so many snakes here, if he really started a fire, neither of the two of them would be able to live in peace today. Just thinking about this scene made me feel troubled.
Not to mention facing this scene, it is simply an artifact of torture.
"Captain, why are there so many snakes here?
Is it because there are so many snowdrops?”
Xiao Baihe tried to divert the attention of the two people and looked at Snow Lotus.
There was no way, the entire cave was pitch black, you couldn't see your fingers, only the snow lotus was emitting a faint white light, it looked like a night light, but it couldn't illuminate the surrounding environment.
"Maybe, I don't know."
Chen Jie spoke frankly, and the two of them covered each other with a torn piece of cloth to keep each other warm.
"Let's go when the rain stops. Yanyan and the others should be anxious."
Lily Xiao sniffed, feeling extremely cold all over.
"Okay, let's go when the rain stops."
Chen Jie responded, feeling a bit uneasy about this place. After all, too many snakes were not a good thing.
…
Chen Yanyan and Lisa hid in the tent, watching the heavy rain outside.
"Captain, why aren't you back yet? You've been gone for a day. Could something have happened?"
Chen Yanyan was mumbling to the side, her expression a little nagging.
"Bah, bah, bah, the captain is so smart, nothing will happen to him. Something must have delayed him."
Lisa frowned, feeling uneasy and her tone was a little irritable.
"You are right, the captain will definitely be safe."
Chen Yanyan nodded, clasped her hands together, and kept chanting, 'Amitabha, bless the captain and Sister Lily, be safe and sound'.
When Lisa saw Chen Yanyan's movements, instead of stopping her, she followed suit.
The two of them were praying to God together, hoping that Chen Jie and Xiao Baihe would come back soon.
Until late at night, neither of them could sleep, and they were always thinking about Chen Jie.
"Sister Lisa, I'm a little scared."
Chen Yanyan moved closer to Lisa, feeling uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, the captain will be back as soon as it gets light. Didn't we often stay up all night before? As soon as it gets light, the captain and Lily will be back."
Lisa said calmly, feeling vaguely uneasy as she listened to the sound of rain outside.
"But my heart always feels a little uncomfortable, as if..." Chen Yanyan couldn't say the rest of the words. She was really afraid that her words would be verified.
