C27 (1/2)

Liu Xi glanced at Wang Ming, and his body slightly tilted in my direction as he said softly, ”Water! What's wrong? The water in the well should be alive, right? ”

Wang Ming frowned: ”No, some of the water in the well found underground water, so it's dead water, and the living water is different from dead water.”

Liu Xi and I didn't know what was so profound about it, so we asked.

Wang Ming explained that if there was any living water, it would have a water path that continuously flowed inside, and if there was anything inside, it would pollute the water source. Previously, Liu Xi also said that the people here would have a stomachache, which meant that there was a problem with the water source.

If that snake was here, it must have been doing them good. Protecting the people in this village might be because they were afraid that there would be sickness or death after drinking this water.

”That doesn't make sense. If the people in this village die, wouldn't the snake have something to eat?” Liu Xi said with surprise.

If the snake wanted to eat something, in my opinion, no one in the village can stop it. Everyone must die, and the fact that they did not attack the villagers right now confirms what Wang Ming had just said.

Wang Ming pulled me up. He said that he wanted to go and see, that snake shouldn't be able to harm us.

Liu Xi pulled us and said, that snake was very strange, it would sometimes attack the villagers, and its temper wasn't very good. As long as someone went near, it would let out a very strange cry, scaring the people around.

Wang Ming did not care about that at all, and brought me to the side of the well. Both of them did not have any tools to fetch water, they only stood there, hoping that the snake could come out.

After a while, a snake rushed out from the mountain. I was immediately stunned. This is the biggest snake I've ever seen. Although I've heard about it from my father, after seeing it with my own eyes, it still has a strong impact.

Wang Ming indicated for me not to be nervous, not to move in front of the snake and not to make any movements to attack.

Actually, I understand all of this that Wang Ming is saying, after all, he has followed my father for a few years to do this kind of business, but after encountering this kind of situation, his mind is in a complete mess, he doesn't even know what he is thinking.

The snake stopped in front of us, but it didn't do anything. It just stood there, watching us. Wang Ming threw his backpack on the ground. It was a long distance from us.

If this snake is this big, it would naturally have enough intelligence. Basically, he would know what our movements mean.

My heart was thumping, and I had a dagger in my pocket. If I was in danger, we would attack the snake and escape.

Although he had never dealt with such a large snake before, its weaknesses were all the same, so there was no difference in how he dealt with it.

Wang Ming took a few tentative steps forward, sat on the well, pointed downwards, and looked at the big snake.

The snake slowly walked to Wang Ming's side. Wang Ming usually killed a lot of snakes, but that snake seemed to have sensed us and quickly dodged to the side. It issued a strange sound from its mouth, as if it was driving us away.

Seeing that Wang Ming had failed, I slowly walked in front of the snake. Raising my hand, I slowly touched its body.

The snake didn't resist at all. After rubbing my hands a few times, I looked into the well.

That snake rushed straight into the well, and disappeared from Wang Ming and I's sight.

Wang Ming said that the snake was definitely looking for the abnormality in the well water, but there was no news at all. It seemed to be guiding us, telling us to go down the well as well.

But we don't know how deep the water is in this well.

Wang Ming ignored me and continued to climb along the rope. I went over to put the two of them in my backpack and followed Wang Ming down.

When we reached the bottom of the well, Wang Ming tried to probe the depth of the water on the rope, but he was already inside. I couldn't even see his figure from above, and Wang Ming still hadn't come up.

I shouted out strangely. After a while, Wang Ming slowly floated up and said that there was something special underneath, he wanted me to take the waterproof flashlight and place everything that was afraid of water on the well.

Without any reason, I put my backpack on, took my flashlight, my rope, and my two daggers. I couldn't take anything else down with me.

After going down, Wang Ming told me to follow him. If he went missing, I would come up here by myself and let the people in the village drain all the water in this place.

When I went down, I saw that there were paths on both sides of the river. It looked like it was really running water, but we didn't know if the snake was going upstream or downstream.

Wang Ming hesitated for a moment, then went into the downstream hole. The hole was very thick, it looked like it could fit at least three people side by side.

Actually, it was obvious that my breath wasn't enough after reaching this point. If I were unable to breathe for even half a minute, I would have definitely gone up to take a breath first.
