Everyone suddenly felt their scalps numb, and the common sense accumulated over the years was completely destroyed at this moment.
Although the black snake was exposed, it did not run away in a hurry. Instead, it showed an eerie smile at Lin Yang and the others as if to demonstrate, while continuing to use its sharp snake tail to carve arrow symbols on the tree.
.
The scratching sound is so clear and strange in this dark and silent environment. It seems that it is not carved on the tree, but in the hearts of everyone. Every time it sounds, it makes people feel
I couldn't help but shiver.
An illusion suddenly arose in everyone's mind. They felt that the black snake carved on the tree was not an arrow symbol, but an epitaph for them...
The atmosphere became quite depressing at this moment.
Just when people felt scared because of this laughing black snake, Zhou Liang suddenly took a big step forward, raised his hand and threw the machete towards the black snake wrapped around the tree.
"You dare to be arrogant in front of me? I have killed no less than a hundred snakes."
This roar not only broke the oppressive atmosphere that enveloped everyone, but also drove away a lot of fear in everyone's hearts.
With a bang, the machete was nailed to the tree where the black snake was entangled. If the black snake hadn't reacted quickly and lowered its protesting head in time, I'm afraid its snake head would have been struck by this knife.
It was chopped off
The frightened black snake did not continue to stay on the tree to provoke everyone, but jumped down from the tree with a loud sound, got into the thick layer of dead branches and leaves on the ground, and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Yang held the breeze talisman in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He quickly walked to the tree where the black snake was entangled before, and carefully observed the arrow mark drawn by the black snake.
Sure enough, this arrow pattern is exactly the same as the arrow patterns on several other trees except for the direction.
These arrow patterns that confused their judgment and made it difficult for them to tell where the correct route was were actually drawn by the black snake... If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe that this thing was true.
Looking at the fresh arrow symbol on the tree, Diao Nina looked shocked. After a while, she choked out this sentence: "These black snakes actually know how to draw arrow symbols... Oh my god, are they still snakes? Shouldn't they?
Could it be that he has already become a sperm?"
Yuan Gang said: "Why do these black snakes use arrow symbols to confuse our judgment? Ah... I know, they want to use this method to trap us in the jungle and starve us to death. They
You can easily drag us back to the cave and eat us slowly as food..."
Ever since he saw the strange and bizarre scene just now, Yuan Gang felt that the arrow symbols on the trees around him all looked like snake faces trying to devour people. They were so hideous and terrifying that he was so frightened that he stepped back.
After walking a few steps, my feet became weak and I sat down on the ground.
"Monsters... Those black snakes must be monsters... We are dead, we are dead..."
The emotions of fear and despair permeated the team again.
Lin Yang didn't want everyone's morale to be ruined like this, but in this urgent moment, he couldn't think of any other way. He could only lie and said: "Why are you panic? You are still college students, how can you encounter something?"
Are you saying it’s a snake spirit monster? If this is spread, please don’t make people laugh out loud. Even if you don’t read popular science books about animals, you can also watch TV programs such as Animal World or National Geographic Channel.
Ah. Don’t you know that in this world, there is a kind of snake that is best at using traps to catch food? If I guess correctly, the black snake we encountered should be the kind that is good at setting traps.
snake……"
What Lin Yang didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiangcheng echoed: "Lao San is right. I actually saw a documentary about this kind of snake on the National Geographic Channel. Let me think about it,
What is the name of this snake? Ah... It seems to be called the Fabiosna snake. The reason for such a strange name is because the first person to discover this kind of snake was a man named Fabiosna.
The French. This kind of snake is not only good at setting traps, but also has a certain ability to learn and imitate. Therefore, I am not surprised at all that they can imitate Lao San and draw these arrow symbols on the tree."
No, are there really snakes in this world that are good at setting traps?
Lin Yang was stunned, because he knew very well that what he just said was just nonsense. He was just trying to alleviate the fear and despair in everyone's hearts.
However, when he looked at Liu Xiangcheng, he found Liu Xiangcheng winking quietly at him.
Then, he understood everything.
I bet Liu Xiangcheng was flattering him and helping him to lie, making the lie more true and easier for people to believe.
It seems that Liu Xiangcheng, like him, doesn't want the team's popularity to break up.
At this moment, Lin Yang suddenly remembered something. It seemed that Liu Xiangcheng had been working hard to maintain the hearts of the team and inspire everyone's hope and desire for survival from the beginning... Although the effect was not very good, he had indeed been doing it.
Doing this.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for ordinary people to think of such a thing. I'm afraid Liu Xiangcheng's background is not very simple...
However, Lin Yang was not interested in Liu Xiangcheng's background. He only knew that Liu Xiangcheng was the boss of his dormitory and his good brother.
that's enough
Under Lin Yang and Liu Xiangcheng's singing, everyone couldn't help but believe the words they had made up.
After figuring out that these black snakes were not monsters, but just a special kind of snake, the atmosphere of fear and despair that permeated the team was somewhat relieved.
Compared to monsters, monsters, and snakes, they seem to be less scary.
However, people's worries have not disappeared, because there is a more serious problem that is bothering them: "It doesn't matter whether those black snakes, Fabiosna snakes, or monsters. The important thing is,
The sign of getting out of the jungle has been destroyed by these black snakes, so what should we do to get out of this damn jungle?"
"Don't worry, although the marks I left along the way were destroyed by these black snakes. However, I still have a map and compass in my backpack. With these two tools, I can still get out of this jungle.
It's just that it's not convenient to follow the marks, so it will take a little more time." As he said that, Lin Yang waved to Ma Wanwen, who was responsible for taking care of the backpack, and motioned for him to take the backpack over, and then took out the waterproof map and
compass.
"Everyone, take a rest where you are. I'll look at the compass and map, and wait until I determine the direction before setting off. Boys, don't relax your vigilance while you are resting, and pay attention to the situation around you." He gave the order without raising his head.
Finally, Lin Yang spread the waterproof map on the ground, then picked up the compass to identify the direction.
Everyone followed the instructions and sat on the ground to rest. The previous strange experiences had already tortured them physically and mentally.
However, after resting, they did not relax their vigilance. They glanced around from time to time and monitored the surrounding situation with the help of the light of torches.
It was precisely because of this that they did not notice that Lin Yang's expression instantly became serious after seeing the compass.
Liu Xiangcheng was an exception, because he was standing next to Lin Yang, and when Lin Yang took out the map, he also came up to check it out.
Therefore, he immediately noticed something was wrong with Lin Yang's expression.
However, he did not say anything, but came closer and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, what happened?"
Lin Yang didn't hide it from him. He handed the compass in front of him and said with a bitter look on his face: "You can see for yourself."
Liu Xiangcheng looked down and almost screamed in surprise.
The compass that was supposed to be pointing south was now losing control and going crazy. The needle kept spinning around and was not pointing in a fixed direction at all.
"What...what's going on?" Liu Xiangcheng finally suppressed the exclamation that reached his throat. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yang and asked in a low voice. His eyes were full of horror.
Lin Yang shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, but I guess it has something to do with the magnetic field around here..."
When he said this, he actually had another thought hidden in his heart that he didn't dare to say out loud - could this matter have anything to do with those weird black snakes with a certain IQ?
"Magnetic field? Is this really possible? I remember reading in a book before that if there is a problem with the surrounding magnetic field, the compass may fail..." After thinking for a while, Liu Xiangcheng gave a suggestion.
: "How about we find a direction to walk first. After we get out of the scope of the magnetic field disorder and the compass returns to normal, we can then identify the correct path to get out of the jungle?"
Lin Yang nodded: "At present, it seems that this is the only way to do it." Then he warned: "The matter of the compass being out of control will be kept secret for the time being. Everyone's emotions are not stable yet. I'm afraid that once this matter is known to them,
, there will be people who have problems because they can’t bear the mental pressure.”
"Don't worry, I know what to do." It was obvious that Liu Xiangcheng agreed with Lin Yang's confidentiality measures.
After a short pause, Lin Yang put away the compass and waterproof map, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to get up and hit the road: "The direction has been determined, everyone, please follow me. As is the old rule, the boys take care of the girls in the team after the girl is gone.
.”
Everyone stood up one after another and followed Lin Yang to the right.
As Lin Yang walked, he stared at the compass in his hand, praying that it would return to normal as soon as possible.
But what is disappointing is that the compass needle keeps spinning and refuses to stop...
Lin Yang's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter. He couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "How big is the area where there is a problem with the magnetic field? The entire jungle cannot be within the scope of this abnormal magnetic field.
In here?"
As they walked, Zhou Liang, who was originally at the end of the team, suddenly ran up to Lin Yang, pulled him and whispered: "Third brother, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"We seem to have circled back to the place where we encountered the black snake drawing the arrow symbol..."
