Chapter 5 Entering the Jungle
Chapter 5 Entering the Jungle
The first floor of the building has walls on three sides, with only one side being a glass door.
In front of the building, there is a concrete area of several hundred square meters that has also been passed through along with the building.
Surrounding the concrete ground, a ring of large trees stands out abruptly, none of them shorter than ten meters.
When Chen Hao and the other six appeared on the cement ground, they could see Liu Xuanyu and her group there as well.
Neither of them greeted the other upon seeing them.
Chen Hao ignored them and began exploring the jungle in the opposite direction.
"Liu Wei, Xue Ming, you two pick up some fallen branches here and pile them on the cement ground."
"That's about enough. One of you stay here and the other goes to call people to move it."
Chen Hao gave the instructions.
"OK."
Liu Wei and Xue Ming quickly responded.
Liu Wei is not tall and wears glasses; Xue Ming is slightly taller and has thinning hair.
"Watch out for snakes."
Li Laoshi suddenly spoke up with a reminder.
Seeing everyone looking over, he quickly explained, "There's a forest behind my hometown where you often see snakes. This forest is even bigger, so there are probably quite a few snakes here too."
"That makes sense, you should pay attention to that."
Liu Wei and Xue Ming exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of fear in each other's eyes, but they still forced themselves to say, "We will."
"Okay, let's go."
As Chen Hao spoke, he led Zhao Long and the other two into the forest.
"Li Laoshi, you know the mountains and forests well, you lead the way."
"OK."
Li Laoshi nodded and walked ahead.
"Zhao Long, Liu Yun, keep an eye on the left and right. If anything happens, just let me know."
"clear."
Under Chen Hao's arrangement, the three of them each performed their duties.
The four of them formed a makeshift team and began exploring the forest.
"Stop!" After walking less than thirty meters, Li Laoshi, who was in the lead, suddenly shouted in a low voice, and the other three immediately stopped.
"What happened?"
Chen Hao stepped forward and came to Li Laoshi's side.
There's a snake ahead.
Li Laoshi looked serious.
"Where?"
"There."
Following the direction Li Laoshi pointed, Chen Hao looked over and saw only a pile of withered leaves.
"No."
Chen Hao was puzzled.
"It's hiding," Li Laoshi said, walking over to the pile of dead leaves. He ran his steel ruler across the ground twice, and a yellow shadow shot out. Li Laoshi calmly took two steps back, escaping the attack range.
This made Chen Hao's eyes flash with a strange light, and he couldn't help but ask, "Li Laoshi, have you ever caught snakes before?"
"Of course, at least hundreds."
Li Laoshi said with considerable pride.
"Impressive," Chen Hao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and then began to examine the coiled yellow snake.
It was estimated to be over two meters long, with an oval head. It was coiled up, constantly sticking out its tongue, and appeared to be non-toxic.
Is this snake poisonous?
Zhao Long couldn't help but ask.
"I don't recognize this kind of snake, but judging from its head, it probably isn't there."
Li answered honestly.
"Whether it's poisonous or not, we'd better avoid getting bitten."
Chen Hao said.
"Li Laoshi, you distract the snake from the front, and I'll ambush it from behind."
"it is good."
Li Laoshi nodded, then took the steel ruler and waved it back and forth in front of the long yellow snake.
The snake's head also swayed.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Hao circled around and came to the back of the yellow snake.
But the ground trembled as he walked, alerting the yellow snake, which suddenly turned its head to look at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao, however, didn't take it seriously and signaled Li Laoshi to increase the intensity of his teasing.
Li Laoshi did as instructed, and just as the steel ruler was about to hit the yellow snake's head, the snake immediately launched another attack on Li Laoshi.
But Li Laoshi took two steps back and easily dodged.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Hao quickly took two steps, raised his knife, and slashed down.
The sharp blade sliced the yellow snake in two.
[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star common creature—the Jungle Yellow Snake—and obtained a 1-star card.]
"Good luck."
Chen Hao smiled and then looked at the one-star card.
[One-Star Supply Card (White) - 5 catties Fresh Water: Drinkable]
Chen Hao already had one of these cards; this is his second.
It's neither good nor bad, after all, water resources are still very important.
On the ground, the dead [Jungle Yellow Snake] was still writhing in two pieces.
"Zhao Long, use your baseball bat to smash that snake's head."
If the snake is venomous, it can still inject venom if it bites a person after it dies.
"well."
Zhao Long swallowed hard, raised his baseball bat, went to the snake's head, and smashed it down.
The snake's head instantly turned to shreds. Zhao Long exhaled a breath of stale air, a rather triumphant smile appearing on his face.
He's never killed a snake in his entire life.
Although the snake was already dead.
"Should we take this snake home and eat it?"
Liu Yun asked with some resistance.
Chen Hao shook his head: "We have enough food for now. This snake is long, but it doesn't have much meat, so let's just leave it here."
"That's good."
Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Li Laoshi pulled out a dozen snake eggs from the pile of withered leaves.
"We're in luck! These snake eggs taste even better than chicken eggs."
Li Laoshi laughed.
"I didn't expect it to be a female snake that lays eggs. Looks like we're lucky."
"Then pack these snake eggs up."
Chen Hao's eyes lit up. After Li Laoshi put the snake eggs into their backpacks, they continued on their way.
Above their heads, some small, squirrel-like creatures hopped around, seemingly startled by Chen Hao and his companions, or perhaps out of curiosity.
This time, after walking about 100 meters, Li Laoshi stopped again.
"A snake?"
Chen Hao asked.
"No," Li Laoshi shook his head, his tone grave, "it's a wolf."
Chen Hao's pupils contracted, and he quickly stepped forward to Li Laoshi's side, where he indeed saw three gray wolves in front of him.
Just like the gray wolf he killed.
The three gray wolves also spotted Chen Hao and his group of four, and couldn't help but bare their teeth and growl softly.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. There are many of us. Let's raise our weapons and scare them away."
Li Laoshi then offered some advice.
"We'll do whatever Li Laoshi says."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he raised his long sword, took a step forward, his expression grim, and let out a strange cry.
Seeing this, the other three couldn't help but imitate them.
The three gray wolves had never seen such strange creatures as humans before, and seeing the four people baring their teeth and claws, looking very dangerous, they cautiously retreated.
After retreating a certain distance, he turned and ran.
"They ran away in fright."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha."
"That was so exciting!"
Zhao Long couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't want to keep going through this kind of excitement."
Liu Yun then said in a low, melancholy tone.
Zhao Long immediately fell silent.
"Liu Laoshi, let's change direction."
"Okay," Liu Laoshi nodded, and then everyone followed Liu Laoshi onto another road.
Along the way, Chen Hao would carve a mark on a tree to prevent getting lost.
