"What? Do we still want to enter? "
After hearing Liao Wenbing's command, the students immediately wailed. Their expressions became one of resistance. Everyone dilly-dallied and didn't want to get up.
Earlier, when they entered the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the situation of being chased by the python was simply too dangerous. They truly didn't want to experience it again.
Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for Liao Wenbing taking the lead to block the python and keeping the signal tubes, there would have been people who wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure and used them.
"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly get up. With the new student group from the Central Province Academy acting as cannon fodder, we can save a lot of energy."
Liao Wenbing urged. As long as he planned it well, he could use them to lure the python away.
"Group leader, you think too highly of the students from the Central Province Academy. Do you think they can do what we can't?"
"That's right. I can tell that in less than ten minutes, they would be so scared that they would piss their pants and run out!"
"I'm too tired. I haven't even drunk any water!"
The students complained at the same time.
"Everyone, get up!"
Liao Wenbing berated, his tone becoming stern.
"Group leader, I understand your plan, but they won't be able to do it in their current state."
The vice group leader persuaded from the perspective of a doctor.
Everyone had just escaped from the snake cave, and their stamina and mental energy hadn't recovered yet. If they were to enter now, the danger would be greater.
Liao Wenbing frowned. His gaze swept past the students and finally landed on the cave the Central Province Academy Academy had entered.
After pausing for a few seconds, he compromised.
"Forget it, you guys can rest first!"
"Oh yeah!"
The students cheered.
Liao Wenbing walked toward the cave.
"Group leader?"
Old Xiao was shocked and chased after him.
"That Li Ziqi should be a meticulous and cautious group leader. But why didn't she send out scouts to explore the cave? Wouldn't it be too rash to leave after collecting the snake repellent powder? "
Liao Wenbing contemplated.
(Wait a minute, could it be that she is in such a hurry to prevent me from bringing my group to follow them?)
Upon thinking of this, Liao Wenbing bitterly smiled. After delaying for so long, it was already too late even if he wanted to chase after them. Also, the students definitely wouldn't move.
"Sigh, the quality of a'D 'grade famous school is truly lacking. If it was an' A 'grade or' B 'grade famous school, they would most probably grab this opportunity no matter how tired they are."
Liao Wenbing was very disappointed.
At this moment, he suddenly had the urge to transfer schools. Previously, he had applied to Zhoushan because it was a famous school in his country. He felt a sense of belonging.
It was pitch-black in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.
Fortunately, everyone had torches. The orange-red flames illuminated a visible area.
The tunnel in the snake cave was much larger than Li Ziqi had expected. Hence, the feeling of suffocation was reduced by quite a bit.
However, there was a drawback. Because everyone had spider mounts, there was a large gap between each person. Hence, the queue was longer.
"Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings. If you notice anything amiss, let me know!"
Li Ziqi reminded in a low voice, "If there's no need to, try to maintain silence."
"Ziqi, the people from Zhoushan didn't chase after us!"
Chu Jian, who was in charge of bringing up the rear, reported 15 minutes later. This was the mission Li Ziqi had given him.
"Got it. Continue monitoring."
Li Ziqi took out her pocket watch and glanced at it. After that, she recalled the map of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave in her mind. It would roughly take three hours to get out.
Drip! Drip!
Inside the cave, it was colder. Water droplets would drip down from the ceiling, emitting echoes that would cause one's hair to stand on end.
Tantai Yutang surveyed the surroundings and suddenly broke into a smile. After that, he frowned and sniffed hard.
"Ziqi, the snakes are here."
After Tantai Yutang's reminder, over a minute later, the hissing sounds that could be faintly heard rapidly filled everyone's ears.
Everyone held up their torches and saw that a large number of gray-spotted snakes had appeared on the ground.
The venom of these snakes wasn't great. Humans and livestock wouldn't die immediately after being bitten, but their bodies would feel numb and weak. If they were bitten too many times within a short period of time, they would die very quickly.
The atmosphere of the group immediately tensed up.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up!"
Li Fen urged. However, given the terrain of the cave, it was impossible for them to go fast even if they wanted to.
"Tantai, is your snake repellent powder effective?"
Zhao Zhi wanted to cry.
"If it's not effective, they would have already pounced over."
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched, but he was still very calm.
"This guy is a f * cking lunatic!"
Looking at the sickly invalid's expression, Zhao Zhi cursed in his heart.
"Ziqi, there are many snakes blocking the path ahead!"
Ying Baiwu's voice rang out.
"Tantai, I'll leave it to you. Don't tell me you can't handle it!"
Li Ziqi instructed.
"How can you bear to order a person who is about to die like this?"
Tantai Yutang mumbled, but he still obediently went to the front. After that, he took out a small ball made from crushed herbs and lit it up with a torch before tossing it out.
The small ball was only the size of a quail, but after it was lit up, it immediately emitted a large amount of white smoke.
Zhang Yaozong hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.
"Don't worry, it won't harm him."
Tantai Yutang chortled. "Alright, we can go now."
Before the white smoke drifted to the gray-spotted snakes, they seemed to have encountered their natural enemy and scattered like birds and beasts.
The group continued on their way, but a few minutes later, Lu Zhiruo's ears suddenly twitched and she called out, "Ziqi, a big fellow is coming!"
"Everyone pay attention, increase your speed and advance!"
Everyone immediately became nervous. Just as Lu Qi was following Shi Qiao and passing through a tunnel, a huge python's head suddenly darted out from a cave beside him.
Sssss!
The python opened its mouth and its thick tongue trembled. Green poisonous gas seeped out from the sides of its scarlet teeth, causing Lu Qi to almost pee.
There was no solution to it. This python's head was too big, and it wouldn't be a problem for it to swallow two of them at once. Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that this was a species of darkness.
Species of darkness were powerful species that resided on the Darkness Continent. Ordinary rabbits and birds didn't count. They had to be those species that had extremely strong destructive prowess or were extremely rare.
As expected, at the next instant, a ball of green poisonous fog spewed out from the python's mouth.
Pffft!
The poisonous fog rapidly spread out.
"F * ck!"
Zeng Gang cursed. The worst thing had happened. The python appeared from the center and directly split the group into two.
As expected, the people in front used their blades and swords to whip the spider mount under their buttocks, telling it to run faster.
The people at the back were also stunned and started to retreat. After that, when the python pounced over, they turned and fled at full speed.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Jian felt despair.
"It's over!"
It wasn't that they would die, but the plan to pass through the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave had failed.
"What's over? Quickly flee for your life! "
Zhao Zhi roared. The green poisonous fog was about to drift over.
"Don't panic. Those at the back, run to the tunnel on the right."
As Li Ziqi had to command, she stayed in the middle of the group. The place where the python appeared was two students away from her.
"Eldest Martial Sister!"
Lu Zhiruo immediately rushed over and stood in front of Li Ziqi to protect her.
"I'm fine."
Li Ziqi shouted, "Xuanyuan Po, Ying Baiwu, charge 60 meters ahead and enter the tunnel on the left."
The map given by the Saint Gate had marked out the terrain of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.
At this moment, Li Ziqi could only hope that the map wasn't wrong.
At this moment, the majority of people would be panicking. However, the combat addict and the iron-headed girl didn't have any problems. They were extremely calm and immediately charged forward after hearing the command.
"Charge! Charge! Charge! "
Li Ziqi urged.
"Ah? Li Ziqi, you want to abandon those people at the back? "
Peng Kunqi shouted. Because he had been saved earlier, he felt guilt in his heart. He also had a good impression of this group. Hence, at this moment, he wanted to contribute and repay everyone's kindness.
"Shut up, follow the group!"
Li Ziqi roared, "Sickly invalid, I'll leave the group to you."
After speaking, the little sunny egg got the spider mount to turn and chase after the python.
"Eldest Martial Sister, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhiruo jumped in fright. (Are you courting death? What if the python attacks you? What will you do? You are the weakest in this group!)
Zhang Yaozong followed the group and kept running. He felt a little panicked in his heart, but he could still maintain his calm. His limbs didn't tremble too much and wouldn't affect his combat.
If he was an ordinary member, this performance would be very good. But he was the group leader.
"Quickly think of a way to break out of this situation!"
Zhang Yaozong hammered his head in frustration because he couldn't think of anything. A feeling of self-loathing permeated his chest.
After that, he rejoiced a little. Luckily, there was still Li Ziqi in the group.
Honestly speaking, when facing such a chaotic situation, Li Ziqi was able to calmly give out orders in time. She simply had the demeanor of a great general.
"I didn't agree to it either!"
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched, but he still took over the command. "70 meters ahead, continue to turn left."
Only Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po noticed that Tantai Yutang's orders were clear and confident. Also, he didn't have a map.
"Could it be that this fellow has memorized the map as well?"
Ying Baiwu guessed.
"Turn right! Turn right! "
Li Ziqi shouted. At this moment, she couldn't be bothered about whether the python would turn around and chase after her after hearing this.
If these members ran in the wrong direction, the trouble would be even greater.
Luckily, everyone was too nervous at this moment and they couldn't think straight. When they heard Li Ziqi's shout, they subconsciously followed her instructions.
However, accidents would always happen. At the second turn, the python increased its speed and smashed out with a bang.
Li Fen was shocked when she saw the python shooting over and even spitting out a ball of green poisonous fog, blocking the tunnel on the left. She subconsciously hid in the opposite tunnel.
Chu Jian, who was at the back, didn't have a chance to enter the tunnel. He could only flee together with Li Fen.
The python moved in an'S 'shape and rapidly chased after them. Everywhere it passed by, it left behind a thick mark on the ground.
"Li Fen, Chu Jian, don't panic. Do as I say!"
Li Ziqi chased after them and kept on consoling them. She was really afraid that Li Fen would break down. However, over a minute later, Li Fen's wails rang out.
"It's over, it's a dead end!"
Li Fen looked at the dead end before her and felt complete despair.
"Damn, what kind of path are you leading us to?"
Chu Jian cursed. He wanted to retreat, but he discovered that the python had already blocked the exit.
