At this moment, Tie Zhu had no idea that there was an unknown creature behind him.
When Tie Zhu returned, he coincidentally bumped into Li Wei, who was in the middle of releasing herself.
Li Wei cried out in shock, “Ah! Pervert!”
She hurriedly pulled up her pants and stood up without even wiping her butt. She stared at Tie Zhu cautiously.
“I… I’m sorry, I… I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Tie Zhu’s face instantly turned red, and he even stuttered. After seeing Li Wei’s bared body for a short while, the honest Tie Zhu became shy.
“What’s going on!” Director Zhang and the others heard the voice and questioned Tie Zhu.
Tie Zhu replied excitedly, “I’ve found the tree hole. Come with me quickly!”
Hearing that Tie Zhu had found the tree hole, they were excited.
As long as they were in the tree hole, they could have a good rest tonight, and they didn’t have to worry about those barbaric things.
They packed their luggage and set off immediately. They kept following behind Tie Zhu.
Li Wei pulled up her pants before wiping her butt. No one knew that she felt uncomfortable while walking, and her walking posture was very awkward.
“Slow down! Wait for me!” Li Wei, who was at the back of the group, turned around and looked at the dark forest behind her. She was very scared.
As the dusk ended, the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the forest.
However, before the sunlight completely disappeared, the group finally followed Tie Zhu and came to this tree hole.
“Does anyone have a light? A lighter will do!” Tie Zhu asked them.
Immediately, Director Zhang took out a lighter from his pocket.
“Cha!” A weak flame lit up the dark forest.
The surrounding three meters were illuminated by the weak flame.
“Find a torch first. We can’t waste the gasoline in this lighter!” Director Zhang instructed Xiao Gu.
Immediately, Xiao Gu picked up a branch, removed a piece of cloth from his body, wrapped it around the wooden stick, and lit it with the lighter.
However, the cloth was not durable. Xiao Gu wanted to find something that could last long for burning.
Suddenly, he found something on the ground. “There’s a snakeskin. This is not bad. This should burn for a long
time!”
As he said this, he wrapped the snakeskin around the wooden stick.
Then, the flames became much stronger under the burning of the snakeskin.
The surrounding dim scene was lit up a lot.
Xiao Gu held up the torch and saw the tree hole. “This tree is really huge. It’s more than enough for us to live
here!”
As he said this, he even stuck his head into the tree hole and extended the torch to light up the inside of the tree hole.
However, it would be better if he didn’t light up the inside of the tree hole. Once he light up the inside of the tree hole, Xiao Gu was completely stunned.
He was stunned for a full three seconds.
“Hey, how is it inside? It’s really good, right?” Tie Zhu laughed foolishly and was still thinking of taking credit.
They saw Xiao Gu quickly turn his head back from tree hole. Everyone noticed that Xiao Gu’s face had turned deathly pale, as if he had been greatly frightened.
“What’s going on, Xiao Gu?”
Director Zhang patted Xiao Gu’s shoulder and questioned him.
Xiao Gu mumbled, “Snake… snake…”
Auntie Wang criticized Xiao Gu for being so useless. It was just a snake! Even she could kill it. She took the torch from Xiao Gu and shone it into the tree hole again.
This time, everyone focused their attention on the tree hole, wanting to see what Xiao Gu saw.
When they looked inside the hole, everyone’s faces turned pale.
The space inside the tree hole was quite large.
However, every corner of the tree hole was densely packed with snakes…
There were black snakes, green snakes, and poisonous snakes with colored patterns. What was even more terrifying was that these snakes had different sizes. Some were three to five meters long and could swallow a person.
Some were only as thick as a thumb, but they still looked extremely terrifying.
The tree hole was filled with the rustling sound of the snakes moving and the sound of their tongues sticking out.
When Auntie Wang put the torch into the tree hole again, three to five small snakes fell onto the torch because of the temperature of the fire.
Auntie Wang was so scared that she threw the torch away in an instant.
The torch fell into the tree hole, and the snake hole immediately became restless. Countless snakes rushed out from the inside.
“What are you waiting for? Run!”
At the critical moment, Director Zhang roared at them.
At this time, countless snakes had come out of the tree hole. The trees, the ground, and every place they could see were all crawling with snakes.
Fortunately, Auntie Wang and Director Zhang had good mental fortitude , so they could still think calmly.
However, Xiao Gu and tie Zhu’s faces were pale, and they were so scared that they fell in a daze.
The situation of the two girls at the side was even worse. They stood on the spot and didn’t dare to move.
It wasn’t until a small snake crawled on Li Wei and Liu Yufan’s legs that they started to scream.
“Ahhhhh!”
Auntie Wang and Director Zhang pulled Xiao Gu and Tie Zhu. Then, the two of them turned back to help Liu Yufan and Li Wei.
The six of them didn’t care about their belongings and immediately ran away.
However, their actions were being watched by a pair of scarlet snake eyes the size of copper bells.
The six of them did not notice that there was a snake as thick as a tree trunk tree above the giant tree. Its head was the size of a washbasin.
It spat out its thick and long snake tongue quickly.
It climbed down from the giant tree and quickly scuttled on the ground, following closely behind the six of them.
Although the light was very dim, the snake eyes reflected a bright light in the darkness.
“Oh my god, there’s a snake king!”
After shouting, everyone was even more scarred. They also heard the sound of hurried scuttling behind them.
There was even the sound of many pieces of wood being crushed on the ground.
