Chapter 293 Scenic Spot Check-in
Having witnessed firsthand the rampant presence of poisonous insects and snakes here, Chen Wenjin dared not wander off on his own.
Especially near water sources, she felt it was more reliable to bring the external plug-in.
"Let's go see if there are any freshwater delicacies in the water. We can change things up for dinner."
After telling Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin headed towards the direction from which the sound of flowing water came.
After passing through several dozen meters of bushes, the two found their view opening up.
This is a small waterfall with a drop of four or five meters, making it difficult to see what's happening upstream.
The water flow is not particularly rapid, but the volume of water is considerable, flowing down from above the waterfall and forming a water curtain.
Because the water was shallow near the shore, Chen Wenjin led Cheng Feng to the waterfall.
As Chen Wenjin used a kettle to catch the river water flowing down from the waterfall, Cheng Feng looked at the place thoughtfully.
If it weren't for him, a woman named Aning would have died here more than ten years later, killed by a pheasant-necked snake.
While pondering, Cheng Feng controlled the water flow to kill a pheasant-necked snake that was approaching.
Even if the snake was still ten meters away from them, any tendency to get closer would be a death sentence.
At the same time, Cheng Feng looked towards the waterfall. After Cheng Feng killed the pheasant that tried to approach,
A faint commotion could be heard coming from inside the waterfall.
"Old Cheng, you must have heard that, right?"
Chen Wenjin was very cautious. After filling two kettles with water, she took a few steps back and asked Cheng Feng in a low voice.
"There's an empty space behind this waterfall; the pheasant's neck has been used as a snake's den."
Cheng Feng's words made Chen Wenjin frown, and she immediately pulled Cheng Feng to her side.
This is not the time to show off. Wild pheasants have highly toxic necks and are abundant; they can even mimic human speech.
Once you're distracted by its sound, its fangs will appear on your body in the next second.
"Our campsite is too close to here. Should we move to another location?"
Seeing that Cheng Feng didn't seem to be leaving the water's edge immediately, Chen Wenjin asked from behind him.
"No need for that. I'm already being good enough by not bothering them at night. Our Pure Vision Agama is much better than this stuff."
Cheng Feng had already discerned something during that night in Devil City. Although this pheasant neck had some special abilities, its toxicity, scales, and agility were far inferior to the Pure Vision Agama.
If Cheng Feng is truly angered, the snakes in this snake-swamp ghost realm will surely transform into Pure Vision Agamas.
Using his skills of listening to the sound of waves and observing the color of jade, Cheng Feng quickly found dozens of freshwater crayfish the size of a palm.
The water current scooped the nearly 20-pound shrimp to the shore, and then Cheng Feng took off his coat and packed up his dinner.
"I searched for ages but couldn't find a single fish. However, these freshwater crayfish are quite plump, so we'll have them for dinner tonight."
Cheng Feng then took Chen Wenjin and the packed spoils back to the camp.
When Cheng Feng arrived at the camp, he discovered that he wasn't the only one who had caught prey; Hei Xiazi had also made a considerable haul.
He was walking back from outside the camp when he ran into Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin.
Unlike Cheng Feng, who carried the crayfish in his clothes, Hei Xiazi walked over with a cleaned large lizard, looking quite pleased with himself.
"There are many snakes around here, so for safety reasons, tonight's snake soup will have to be lizard soup instead."
"That works too, since it tastes the same as snake meat anyway."
Cheng Feng wasn't picky about what he ate; the only thing he couldn't stomach was excrement, which ultimately became nourishment for his bloodline.
The three of them soon returned to the camp together, and Huo Ling ran up to greet them when she saw them.
"Honey, how many fish did you get? Is it enough for tonight?"
Huo Ling curiously examined the things Cheng Feng had wrapped in his clothes, and then she saw the large lizard in Hei Xiazi's hand.
“That river is next to a snake pit, and no fish dare to live nearby, so we caught some shrimp.”
He handed the crayfish wrapped in clothes to Huo Ling, who opened it, looked at it, and smiled.
These shrimp look delicious, at least better than snakes and lizards.
That evening, the group sat around the fire, and each person received seven or eight large shrimp.
A lizard was placed on the fire, and Black Bear would turn it over from time to time to ensure it was heated evenly.
Perhaps because the group didn't kill the snake, the pheasant neck, which was right next to them, didn't bother them.
The two sides spent the night peacefully.
The next day, Cheng Feng and his group set off again. This time, Zhang Qiling walked in front, becoming more and more familiar with the place the deeper they went.
Led by him, the group walked through a dense thicket of trees, where they saw a huge snake skin lying across their path.
This snake shed skin is practically an underground tunnel; even a regular car could drive through it.
"Judging from the snake's molted skin, this snake is probably much larger than the Zhulong and Jiaolong."
Huo Ling looked around, trying to see the full length of the snake's molted skin, but there were too many trees, severely obstructing her view.
Zhang Qiling ignored the snake molt and led the group to it. Without hesitation, he swung his knife and made a cut in the molt.
"Follow the snake's molted skin to reach the entrance to the underground palace."
Fearing that people might not understand his actions, Zhang Qiling made a special explanation.
"You're familiar with this place, so go wherever you feel comfortable."
After hearing Cheng Feng's words, Zhang Qiling nodded, and then walked in one direction with the others through the snake's molt.
The snake was over 100 meters long. The five people who entered the snake molt from the middle walked several dozen meters further before they saw the end of it.
After exiting through the gap in the snake's neck, a dark cave came into view.
Below is a layer of river water whose depth is indiscernible, which extends all the way into the depths of the cave.
"You have to swim across here."
Zhang Qiling stood in front of the cave entrance, turned around and said to the four people.
After listening, everyone tidied their backpacks and made sure they wouldn't leak before entering the water one after another.
The water was more than three meters deep when everyone entered; even Yao Ming's forehead didn't reach the surface when he jumped in.
The group of people, each holding onto their backpack with one hand, swam deeper into the cave using the buoyancy of the water.
Cheng Feng followed leisurely behind the group, controlling the venomous snakes along the way, swatting the large ones and driving away the small ones.
As darkness gradually descended upon the cave, Chen Wenjin took out a flashlight, turned it on, and strapped it to his backpack.
When the lights came on, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling paused, staring ahead without daring to breathe.
Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling also stopped their wandering and silently joined Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin.
Ahead lay a massive clump of snakes, with thousands of pheasants' necks intertwined.
The most horrifying thing was that there were more than a dozen male corpses with their eyes wide open in death in this snake swarm, writhing along with the snakes.
One by one, translucent, thumb-length snakes crawled into their mouths.
With Cheng Feng and his group so close, it was impossible for them to escape the pheasant's neck's senses.
Surprisingly, the snake gang began to actively move away from Cheng Feng and the others, carrying the male corpse in training uniform, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Master, have you used some methods we don't know about again?"
After the snakes left, Huo Ling looked suspiciously at Cheng Feng beside her.
