When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

All the people who stopped in panic after hearing Jiang Lian'an's shout held their breath and focused as if they were under a spell, staring at the weeds that were rustling constantly. The sound caused the weeds to shake back and forth constantly.

Suddenly, something like lightning jumped out from the grass and headed straight towards Qingchuan's position.

Liu Yunhe quickly protected Qingchuan, drew the sword at his waist, and cut Qingchuan in two with the sword. Several people held torches and looked at the ground.

It has a dark, slender body with white spots on its back, like small white flowers.

With its fangs bared and its tongue hanging out, its slender body, which had been cut into two pieces, twisted back and forth on the ground.

Because the pattern was so impressive, Liu Yunhe immediately said with a solemn look, "It's a snake! It's the white snake carved on the wooden coffin."

“There’s… there’s a snake! Run… run –!!”

At the same time, snakes were also spotted in other places where people were present. The foggy forest was suddenly filled with shouts and people ran away.

The civilians and soldiers who were trapped in the same place also wanted to run away, and Jiang Lian'an hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

Liu Yunhe looked at the weeds around him, and more snakes popped their heads out of the weeds, spitting out their tongues and constantly approaching them.

Several snakes have coiled their bodies into a ball, ready to attack.

Liu Yunhe clenched the sword in his hand, and said with a serious expression but no fear, "It seems that a lot of people have been dispatched."

As he was speaking, a snake bared its fangs and flew towards Liu Yunhe. Liu Yunhe immediately dodged sideways. The moment he turned sideways, his sword flashed and split the white snake into two pieces.

Two snakes were killed by the sword one after another. Seeing this, the remaining snakes did not dare to move forward rashly, but still remained vigilant and maintained an attacking state.

"It might have been attracted by the fire just now." Jiang Lian'an paid attention to the movements around him and said to comfort them, "Don't be afraid, the innkeeper said that this snake will not hurt people on its own initiative, and all living things are afraid of fire, so I'm sure they won't dare to attack rashly."

"They won't hurt anyone, that's only when there are fewer of them." Liu Yunhe paid attention to the actions around him, lowered his eyes and said, "The bushes are full of snakes right now, and torches will eventually burn out. Sir, you guys should leave quickly. I'll stop them here and kill as many as come."

"You also said that there are snakes in the bushes and fog all around. How can we get out?"

Although there was no relaxation in Lin Lezhi's eyes, he still tried to maintain a relaxed tone. He looked around and heard people's screams from different directions from time to time.

"What should we do? Are we all going to be trapped here to death?" Liu Yunhe said excitedly.

"Keep your voice down. It's dangerous to encounter a snake in this thick fog. There are more threatening creatures than just snakes in the deep forest. Don't attract others. I'm thinking of a solution."

Lin Lezhi said this with a hint of intimidation, and it really worked. Liu Yunhe didn't dare to say another word.

Although Lin Lezhi said so, he didn't have any better solution. With the few torches in their hands, they could only hold out for an incense stick of time at most.

Climbing a tree will not help you avoid a snake attack, and setting fire to the mountain is even less likely to lead to your own death.

The only feasible solution at the moment is to leave the area where the snakes are.

After all, the entire lake island is so big that even if there are many snakes, it is impossible for them to be everywhere.

only……

Just as Liu Yunhe said, it was impossible for all seven of them to leave. One person had to stay behind to attract the attention of these snakes so that the rest could leave safely.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult to choose who to stay.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lezhi raised his eyes and said calmly: "Jiang Guitan, Yun He, and... Xiao Xu, the trees in the forest are tall, and the fog will be thinner at high altitudes. You three are good at Qinggong, and Qingchuan is an excellent doctor. You should take Qingchuan and the people trapped together away from here first, and then come to find me."

When talking about Xiao Xu, Lin Lezhi turned his gaze to the soldiers and civilians on the side. After all, Xiao Yihuo always felt that he was seeking death, and he was not sure he could persuade Xiao Yihuo to do anything.

"This..." Liu Yunhe couldn't help wanting to speak loudly, but thinking of what Lin Lezhi had said before, he lowered his voice and disagreed, "How can this be possible? It's easy to leave with Qinggong, but how can we find our way back once we leave this place in such a thick fog? I'd better stay here. After all, I have Kung Fu skills and can hold on for a while."

"It is precisely because you have kung fu skills and this is a matter of life and death that you should send the person out instead of staying behind. Only a capable person can protect others. Others in danger also need you. If you delay for a moment, more people will be in danger."

Lin Lezhi looked at Liu Yunhe, his eyes calm and firm.

Then, Lin Lezhi smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine. Leave your torches and swords to me. They will be enough for a while until one of you comes back to find me. And don't look at me like this. I have some skills. These snakes can't hurt me for a while."

The common people nearby heard this and hurried over, kneeling down and begging, “Please… please, heroes, take me away from here. I don’t want to die here!”

Although Liu Yunhe still found it hard to accept, he did not hesitate too much. He clenched his fists and said, "I understand. I will take the person away from here."

Xiao Yihuo didn't say anything about Lin Lezhi's decision.

Before leaving, Liu Yunhe left his sword to Lin Lezhi.

"must be careful!"

Seeing Liu Yunhe's heavy face, Lin Lezhi smiled and said, "I see, you still have your sword to protect you, go quickly, there will be more snakes coming later."

Only after they all left under the cover of fire did the smile on Lin Lezhi's face fade.

It is indeed not an easy job for one person to stay and face this group of snakes. His skills are good enough to deal with people, but he may not be able to deal with snakes.

If you get bitten accidentally, your journey through the book will be over.

However, he had no intention of being bitten to death by the venomous snake.

Just thinking about so many snakes crawling around on my body gives me goosebumps.

With so many white snakes coming out in large groups, there must be snakes lurking within a few miles. It must take a lot of time to escort everyone to a safer place and back.

Moreover, the deep forest is filled with fog, making it very easy to get lost.

Lin Lezhi found a relatively safe position, placed the torches in a small circle around his legs and feet, held a torch and the Chenwei Sword in his hands, and remained vigilant at all times.

Almost an incense stick of time passed, and Lin Lezhi looked at the torch that was about to burn out and the quiet forest, his eyes darkened.

Lin Lezhi was on guard against the poisonous snake's attack while trying to think calmly.

He couldn't really just sit here and wait to die. He had to buy himself some more time before the torch burned out.

Lin Lezhi looked around and determined the approximate location. To the front was the Doll Cave, and to the back was the Hundred Bone Pit. The distance between the two sides was not much different.

However, the trees on the Baigukeng side are short and sparse, and it is difficult for fog to come out from the treetops.

If you come from above, the location of the Hundred Bone Pit is much more obvious, and there are felled trees there that might be useful.

He first had to find a way to get back there, and the rest was up to him.

after all……

The lake is filled with abundant water vapor. As you go deeper into the lake, the fog becomes thicker and thicker, and even the tallest trees will be submerged in the fog.
