The moment I saw that person's face, my heart started to tremble. I turned my head to look at the large board.
”Did, did you see that? Then, who is that? ”
Hearing my words, Da Gang's face paled. When we came out of the river, I had already told Hua Zi and him that Xu Man had died in the stomach of the snake.
”I, I was afraid before because I smelled that familiar smell.”
With his blunt words, he had undoubtedly confirmed that the figure we just saw was Xu Man.
But why did he do that weird thing? Furthermore, earlier, Big Bro Foolish said that Xu Man was already dead. When I was underwater, I also discovered a person in the belly of that snake!
For this kind of thing, there shouldn't be a need for an idiot to lie to me. And if the one in the snake's stomach is someone else, why didn't Xu Man come straight back to us? Furthermore, the way he had jumped down from the tree just now was obviously something that humans could not do! Was he possessed by something we didn't know about?
Thinking of this, my back was drenched in cold sweat. After hurriedly scalding the leeches on the board, we ran back to our campsite!
However, after returning to the camp, I immediately calmed down.
It wasn't because I wasn't afraid, but because after seeing Xu Man descend from the tree, I finally understood the strange feeling I had earlier, the Arrow Snake!
When I first saw that colossus, I was shocked, but I didn't think too deeply into it. However, the words he said after he lost his mind were clearly saying that the appearance of the Arrow Snake was strange.
That's right, such a big thing, if it appeared at the edge of the forest, it was impossible that no one would not have discovered it. The reason why no one had discovered it all this time was because it did not belong to that place, but to the other side of the river!
In the depths of the mountains, there were barely any signs of human life. Furthermore, there was a river full of leeches blocking the way, which was why the Arrow Snake had never entered people's eyes.
No one would find it strange if there were leeches in the river. No matter how many leeches there were, it could only be said that they were the natural enemies of leeches. And what was the reason for that river to be barren?
If it was analyzed from a scientific point of view, it could be said that the soil there was not good enough for plants to grow and so on. But what if someone did it on purpose, using the river as a barrier against the archer snakes?
Yes, if the river was not formed naturally, but was created by man in order to prevent the Arrow Snake from leaving, then why did so many leeches appear in the water, and why were the Arrow Snake not discovered by the world, all of this could be explained.
After all, there was an underground river full of leeches in the ruins of the Stonehead Mountain.
But why did that Arrow Snake appear near our camp last night and attack Xu Man?
When the maniac appeared, he had already vaguely mentioned this issue, but I just didn't understand it at the time. Now that he thought about it, someone must have planned this a long time ago! However, I can't come to a conclusion as to who this person is.
Even though he was leading me in the right direction, that didn't mean he was hiding a knife in a smile. This was because the medicine to expel the leeches was obviously something that he had prepared beforehand.
