How could I possibly be confined in a cage?

The fear dissipated, and they regained their composure, preparing to grab Qingru and the others again and leave the cave.

As for the person who had just been attacked by the small snake, he lay on the ground as if he had been forgotten.

Just as Ruika was about to go over to check, the little snake seemed to have identified him and flew straight towards him.

Seeing this, Ruika yelled and quickly dodged backward.

The snake, having failed in its attack, quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"What the hell?!" Ruika was somewhat embarrassed and angry. Did the snake have its eye on him?

Ruika retreated repeatedly, but the little snake relentlessly pursued him. Moreover, in the midst of his dodges, the snake seized an opening and bit his trouser leg with pinpoint accuracy.

Ruika was startled and quickly tried to pull him away.

Unfortunately, the little snake had its jaws locked tight, and with a whoosh, it quickly climbed upwards.

Qingru was extremely nervous and couldn't help but pray in her heart that the little snake would bite, that it would not let any of these ten or so people go.

The little snake was very agile; it coiled around my leg and quickly climbed upwards, biting as soon as it touched my skin.

Ruika cried out in pain and stretched out his foot to stomp on the snake's tail. Unsure if the snake was poisonous, Ruika panicked.

"Damn it, pull it open right now."

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to help Ruika, but the little snake was very nimble. After biting Ruika, it quickly darted away, slippery as ever.

Ruika rolled up her trouser leg and saw two bright red spots on her thigh, a shocking sight.

"Get out of here quickly! Don't linger here. There are probably many more snakes like this. Go find a doctor right away!"

Ruika acted decisively, tearing off strips of cloth and wrapping them tightly around her thigh. Damn it, she didn't even know if the snake was poisonous or not. However, judging from the wound, it should be non-venomous, otherwise she would have been poisoned to death long ago.

They dragged Qingru and the others toward the exit, but their luck seemed to be bad. When they finally reached the exit, it was blocked by rocks.

Everyone was shocked; they had seen a ghost. It wasn't like this when they arrived.

They hurriedly tried to break open the hole by hitting the rocks, but the rocks were tightly sealed and very hard. They hit them for a long time, but they still couldn't budge them.

"Damn it, when did these rocks get stuck in the road? This is weird."

"What should we do? Are we trapped in a maze?"

"Stop talking nonsense, keep crashing."

"Can we break through? Let's find another way out."

……

Now, everyone looked worried.

"Damn it, is this some kind of ghost? Is this some kind of ghost?" Li Daguo cursed angrily.

Ruika was pale and in excruciating pain in his leg. He looked down and saw the bright red bite mark left by the small snake, which made him irritable and agitated. Although the cave was poorly lit, he still guessed that the snake was venomous. His vision was blurry, but it wasn't due to the light. He was seeing double images uncontrollably, and his body felt dizzy as if it were out of his control.

"Damn it!" Ruika thought to himself, and decisively pulled out his dagger and slashed into the wound, squeezing out the poisonous blood and preventing the venom from spreading to his heart, which cost him his life.

Ruika had ripped a chunk of flesh off him, and clumps of dark purple blood fell to the ground, congealing in such a short time.

Ruika stopped when a large pool of bright red blood slowly seeped out from under the feet.

"Ah!" A scream suddenly echoed throughout the cave.

The others turned around at the sound and gasped in shock at what they saw.

Ruika is truly a ruthless person. He's ruthless to himself, so how much more ruthless must he be to others? No wonder he can become a minor leader in a foreign land.

Looking at the first man who had been bitten, the man who had been lively and energetic before now had bulging veins on his face, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans were pouring out of his forehead. His entire face was twisted and contorted with intense pain, and his lips had turned purplish-black.

They then realized that the brother lying on the ground was barely breathing and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Hurry, let's get out of here!" one of them cried out in a terrified voice.

I thought it would be a simple job, but who knew it would cost me my life.

Li Daguo gritted his teeth, carried the first bitten brother on his back, and didn't know if he could survive until he could find a doctor.

The crowd rushed out, frantically smashing the boulder that had suddenly appeared at the cave entrance.

Who knows where that little snake is lurking, or if it might suddenly appear and bite them?

Qingru frowned, her eyes filled with solemnity and worry. What about them? Could they still escape?

Just then, a strange rustling sound came from behind. Qingru looked in the direction of the sound and saw the small snake that had bitten Ruika. Its tail moved slowly on the ground, as if searching for prey.

Qingru couldn't help but wonder, since the little snake had approached her first, why hadn't it attacked her? Had Ruika and the other two offended the snake somehow?

The dozen or so people from the yarn factory scattered and fled, all searching for a so-called way out. One person had already been caught in the trap, even Ruika had fallen victim to it. Suddenly, they felt uncertain and preferred to search for a way out rather than stay put, not knowing when the little snake would come out.

The little snake seemed to possess a spirit, slithering around Qingru's feet without attacking her; rather, it seemed to be affectionate towards her. Qingru was puzzled, wondering why she felt a strange sense of familiarity towards the little snake.

The little snake circled around her feet a few times, then swam in another direction. After going a short distance, it turned back to look at her, as if beckoning her to follow.

Fortunately, when Ruika tied people up, she focused on binding their hands, and the rope on their legs wasn't very tight.

Seeing that she couldn't keep up several times, the little snake swam back and forth around her feet a few times. Qingru moved again, and the rope had actually come undone.

What a clever serpent!

Qingru was overjoyed. She used her hands and feet to untie the hemp ropes binding her feet and then went to untie Guiying and the others.

Ruika sat on the ground watching all this, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This woman can control snakes?! Then why would she go to a place like a textile factory?

At this point, half of his body was numb, and he was no longer able to stop Qingru from leaving.

Qingru untied the men and called the three of them to prepare to leave.

Guiying untied herself, picked up the dagger from the ground, aimed it at Ruika, and raised it several times, ready to stab him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Forget it, you can fend for yourself."

In the end, Guiying failed to kill Ruika. She put the dagger in her bosom, kicked Ruika a few times, and caught up with Qingru.

Ruika opened his eyes again, surprised that this dark-skinned woman had let him go. He chuckled coldly, a dangerous glint in his eyes. Even the factory workers hadn't bothered with his life, yet this woman still showed him a shred of pity.

Seeing Guiying's dilemma, Qingru neither encouraged nor stopped her. It was her own decision, and she should make her own choice; no one else could interfere.

"Let's go." Seeing that she was ready to leave, Qingru endured the pain and numbness in her feet and called for the others to leave.

Ruika was sore all over that she didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone stop these people.

They could only watch helplessly as they slipped away.

He stared intently at Guiying's departing figure, deeply remembering this contradictory yet kind and resilient woman.
