After passing through a patch of weeds, Shu Wen and Su Mengyao arrived at the small woods in front.

The tall treetops are connected together, competing for the limited sunlight.

The grass under the trees looked weak due to the long-term lack of sunlight and could not grow at all. In many places, there was no grass at all and it was covered by a layer of fallen leaves that had long since withered.

The woods are very refreshing.

Shu Wen simply chose a dry place, took off her coat and spread it on the ground, then called Su Mengyao:

"Come here, let's sit down and rest for a while."

"your clothes."

Su Mengyao said a little embarrassedly when she saw Shu Wen spread out the nice sportswear on the ground.

"It's okay, just wash it when you get home if it gets dirty." Shu Wen said indifferently.

"Come sit down, I've been walking all morning and I'm almost dead tired."

Seeing that Su Mengyao was still hesitant, Shu Wen grabbed Su Mengyao's arm and pulled her to sit next to her.

Lu Ye followed the two of them and suddenly saw a few nightshade flowers in a pile of weeds. He walked over and picked a few bunches.

Solanum nigrum is also called black stars locally. Its small black fruits taste slightly sweet.

It is a very common wild fruit in rural areas.

After picking a handful, Lu Ye walked into the woods, prepared to rinse them with water and give them to Su Mengyao and Shu Wen to eat.

But just as Lu Ye came close to the two of them with the nightshade in his hand, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something slowly wriggling less than half a meter behind them.

Lu Ye couldn't help but look carefully, and after seeing the thing clearly, Lu Ye's pupils suddenly dilated!

"What are you holding in your hand?" Su Mengyao and Shu Wen leaned against each other and asked when they saw Lu Ye holding something in his hands.

But Lu Ye shouted in a low voice: "Don't move~!"

The nightshade in his hand was also thrown to the ground by Lu Ye.

"Don't move, both of you! Don't move!"

Lu Ye stretched his hand forward and tried to lower his voice as much as possible so as not to make Su Mengyao and Shu Wen nervous.

But Lu Ye himself was extremely nervous at the moment.

Seeing Lu Ye like this, Su Mengyao and Shu Wen also realized that something was wrong.

However, out of trust in Lu Ye, although both of them were a little nervous, neither of them moved.

"what happened?"

"Lu Ye, don't scare us." Su Mengyao remained motionless, but asked Lu Ye nervously.

Lu Ye was also a little confused at this moment.

The snake was too close to Su Mengyao and Shu Wen, so close that it could easily bite either of them with just one ejection.

At this time, the earth snake, which was almost the same color as the soil, had gradually bent into an S shape, with its head spitting out its tongue and slowly rising up.

Facing the direction of Su Mengyao and Shu Wen.

Lu Ye's eyes were fixed on the earth snake, and he slowly approached the two women.

"Listen to me, both of you, don't move. Move closer to me little by little. Make sure your movements are gentle, okay?"

Lu Ye looked extremely nervous, with cold sweat even appearing on his temples.

Su Mengyao was extremely nervous when she saw Lu Ye like this. She asked anxiously, "What is it? Is it a snake?"

Hearing Su Mengyao's words, Shu Wen, who was leaning against her, was so frightened that her legs went limp.

It was as if all his strength was drained away in an instant, and he was almost paralyzed by fear.

"What should I do? I'm so scared! I...I can't seem to move!"

Shu Wen was so frightened that tears came out of her eyes, and her eyes were full of despair.

In comparison, Su Mengyao was in much better condition. Although she was also very scared, she was not to the point where she could not move.

As Lu Ye said, Su Mengyao moved very gently, gradually changing from a sitting position to a squatting position, and slowly approached Lu Ye.

"Don't be afraid, come over here slowly. As long as you don't move, you'll be fine. I will save you."

Lu Ye spoke softly, stretched out his hand, slowly grabbed Su Mengyao who was approaching, and slowly pulled her behind him.

At this moment, the three of them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

"I am scared!"

Under great fear, Shu Wen fully displayed her most vulnerable side, and her eyes were already wet with tears.

She sat there slumped, unable to even lift her arms.

"It's okay, I'm here. Don't worry, I will definitely save you."

"Yaoyao, please stay away and be careful."

Su Mengyao, who had retreated behind Lu Ye, was now out of the danger zone.

Su Mengyao turned around and saw the earth snake that was about one meter long and spitting out its tongue crazily.

Gudong~!

Su Mengyao was so scared that she swallowed her saliva. In an instant, her body felt like she was electrocuted. She felt numb and a chill went straight to her heart.

"Lu Ye, be careful!"

Su Mengyao looked at Lu Ye who was leaning towards Shu Wen little by little, and anxiously told him

Lu Ye approached Shu Wen little by little and said softly:

"Shu Wen, listen to me. I'm going to pull you over now. You slowly lean towards me, and be gentle, okay?"

"Um..."

Shu Wen responded with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely regretful that she shouldn't have entered the forest.

Lu Ye slowly pulled up one of Shu Wen's hands, and with the other hand he slowly grabbed the wooden stick on the ground.

But it would have been better if he hadn't grabbed it. When Lu Ye grabbed the stick, it was like triggering an alarm.

The earth snake's tongue-spitting movements became faster, and its head swayed back and forth, as if it was ready to attack at any time.

Frightened, Lu Ye quickly put down the stick in his hand.

He squatted on the ground, grabbed Shu Wen's arms with both hands, and slowly and forcefully tried to pull the paralyzed Shu Wen over.

At this time, Shu Wen, in addition to crying, was also trying hard to follow Lu Ye's words, cooperating with Lu Ye's actions bit by bit, and slowly leaning her body towards Lu Ye.

As Lu Ye continued to exert force, Shu Wen, who was originally slumped on the ground, was gradually pulled up by Lu Ye and squatted on the ground.

"Okay, just like that...slowly move towards me..."

Shu Wen slowly leaned forward, wanting to lean into Lu Ye's arms.

In the distance, Su Mengyao watched this scene, her heart so nervous that it almost jumped out of her throat.

"Okay...take your time..."

Lu Ye's forehead was already wet with cold sweat, and his eyes were fixed on the earth snake with a triangular head, fearing that this guy would pounce on him.

As Shu Wen gradually left her original position, everything was moving in a good direction.

But no one noticed that under Shu Wen's feet, an ancient tree branch as thick as a chopstick was gradually rising up as Shu Wen exerted force with her feet.

Click~!

A crisp sound completely broke the tense atmosphere.

The earth snake, which had already prepared for the attack, jumped up like lightning as the sound emerged!

It bit Shu Wen who had her back to it!

"careful!"

At this critical moment, Lu Ye, who had been staring at her, suddenly exerted force and threw Shu Wen completely behind him.

But the next second, Lu Ye felt a sharp pain in his arm.
