Chapter 12 Chapter 12 First Night: Sneak Attack

"Outflank, these beasts still do this?" Fatty broke out in a cold sweat. "Fatty, I have finally learned a lot." Pan Zi said: "I have already said that these snakes are not normal, these are definitely snake charms, and they are about to become fine." Hearing the movement in front, the group of snakes seemed to be gradually approaching, but the crown of the tree was still as if solidified. The sound seemed to be an invisible evil force coming towards us. My hairs stood on end, and I asked Pan Zi: " Does your hometown have any homemade recipes to deal with snake charms?"

Pan Zi said: "Where can we deal with it? In the old days, these are gods. I heard from my grandfather that in ancient times, virgins were sacrificed." The fat man asked, "Is there anyone who is reliable? Where can we go to find boys and girls at this time?" Pan Zidao: "I always say that in ancient times, where do you still encounter such things in the city these days? I think it is absolutely impossible to fight recklessly. You see, Aning died in a flash. Let's retreat and fight guerrillas." Damn, I'm the ancestor, so I'll play peek-a-boo with them and see who outflanks who." Then he pointed in a direction, asking us to follow him.

I listened to what Pan Zi said, and suddenly something gave me a flash of inspiration. After walking two steps, I remembered it, grabbed him and said, "Wait, I don't feel right." Pan Zi looked at me, and I said to them, "There's something strange about it. When you think about it, when Aning was attacked, he had almost no defense and died immediately. In fact, it's too easy for these snakes to kill us. They There is no need to do so many tricks, just huddle in a certain grass, bite us when we pass by, and several of our lives will be lost, why make it so complicated."

"What do you mean? Explain clearly." The fat man asked. "They have countless opportunities to kill us outside the canyon, but we are all safe and sound. Snakes are different from humans. They don't make low-level mistakes. These snakes did not use the method of conspiracy, but now they are engaging in this kind of bluff tricks. Maybe Their purpose is not to want our lives." Pan Zi shook his head. "It doesn't make sense. They don't want our lives, so why did they sting Aning to death? Maybe they are jealous of us now." I said, "Think about the difference between Aning and us?"

The two of them looked at each other, and the fat man was surprised: "Is it because Ah Ning is a woman?" I nodded, "It's probably because of this. These snakes behave too perversely. We can't use the behavior of ordinary animals to infer their intentions. I don't think this is outflanking at all. There are other more mysterious things behind their behavior." If we act rashly, we may fall into an even more incomprehensible situation." The fat man frowned and said, "It's reasonable for you to say that, so what should we do? Should we fight recklessly."

I shook my head and said, "I think we should stop acting rashly and figure out their intentions first, otherwise we will be too passive." The fat man grinned and said, "You are so innocent, we are not snakes, how can we figure out the snake's intentions?" I believe that we can analyze the intentions of humans, not to mention animals, people often underestimate the IQ of the other party when they are defeated by animals. We should treat these snakes as people. If it is a group of people, when we come in, kill them. The only woman among us, and then don't kill us, but use this way to keep our nerves tense all the time, what do you think they have?

The three of them fell silent, the fat man frowned, and said hesitantly, "According to this, are they all female snakes, coveting our beauty?" I thought to myself, whenever you are still in the mood to joke, you find that the fat man is actually thinking about this problem seriously. At this time, Pan Zi suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Oh, little third master, what you said this time is so reasonable, I seem to know what's going on - have you ever heard of a forest where after entering Can't come out?" The fat man said, "You mean the 'ghost forest' in the northeast."

"I don't know how to call it. It's called 'akong' in Vietnam. The forest itself is a very easy place to get lost, but there is a kind of forest. The growth of trees will be affected by certain laws. I don't know if it is a coincidence or necessity. It will be special. It is easy to get lost, and there is a strange saying in this kind of forest that you will be disturbed by various sounds in it, and the forest will trap you to death like a living thing." Pan Zi was a little excited, cut a vine, and put Squeezed out the water inside and drank a few sips: "Speaking of the local area, the forest has its own fucking ideas."

I know this statement, some people say it is a manifestation of evolution, all forests are complex and mysterious, and the more evolved, the more complex it is, because the forest wants to trap and provide nourishment for everything that enters it , which is a kind of group wisdom of the forest. But I don't believe it. This kind of statement is too mysterious. I believe in another theory, which is that some animals drive their prey to the encirclement. Pan Zi also said: "The current situation may be similar. I feel that these snakes are indeed forcing us to go to a certain place. They are correcting our direction."

I broke out in a cold sweat when I heard it, and thought it was incredible. We dare not go to the place where there is sound, and it is impossible to turn back, so we will definitely choose to take a detour. Then as long as we make a sound where we are going, we will definitely arrive at a certain place after passing through several detours.Thinking about it, it is actually very similar to the invisible city wall in Devil City. Pan Zi pointed to the direction where the sound came from: "I know that there is a kind of wolf that will kill large prey in this way. If the prey keeps avoiding the sound of the wolf, it will be driven to some desperate situation, such as the edge of a cliff, and then We were forced to fall by wolves, so once we start to detour, we will be considered a hit.”

As he said that, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he said to us: "Thanks to the suspicion of the little third master, otherwise we will really be in bad luck." I thought to myself, are you praising me or hurting me, so the fat man asked: "Then what should we do now, can we just turn back?" Pan Zi said: "I'm afraid there won't even be a way back. Since they are blocking the front, they must also be blocking the back. This is called being forced to go up the Liangshan Mountain. We can only go and meet them. Since they don't want to kill us, then we must have something to do with them." Good thing, let's take a gamble and see if we can rush over." Originally, I thought I could avoid the danger all the way, and I would talk about it after finding my third uncle. However, it seemed impossible at this time. Pan Zi proposed to take the initiative to attack. No matter what the opponent is, he cannot be lured into the trap. Worse things await us. The fat man said that he had already said to do this, and we had to go around and waste time. So we started to prepare, but in this environment, our weapons are almost useless for self-defense. Pan Zi's gun can't be fired in succession. Pretty much just luck. After thinking about it, the three of them made several torches, two with short handles and one with long handles. Most animals are afraid of fire. Even large beasts like bears dare not approach rashly when they see three fires. And as long as there is this flame to help us deter the opponent, then Pan Zi will have leisurely time to shoot and reload, and he should be able to deal with danger. Of course, the real situation will not be known until then. Pan Zi said that if the other party was a human, he could touch it without anyone noticing. He was very good at sneaking in the woods in Vietnam, but if it was a snake, it would be tantamount to death. What kind of monster.I don't know if that thing is Aning, but since the voice is coming from this thing, it must be in front, so we should try our best to avoid confrontation, with the main purpose of passing, and we can't do our best. When we were ready, we lit the torches and walked slowly in the direction of the sound. This is actually a rather contradictory thing. In the rainforest at midnight, holding a torch is undoubtedly the biggest target, which is more conspicuous than driving a tank, but all three of us are cats there, as if we are going to sneak attack others, which is a bit like The feeling of breaking into the women's restroom with a sign saying "I'm an idiot, I'm here to spy." The rustling sound was not far away from us, only about two or three hundred meters away. All our attention was focused on the surroundings and the sound. We heard the sound getting closer and clearer. The feeling of radio noise became more and more obvious, and I couldn't help swallowing.But even so, we still couldn't hear what the voice said. Soon, the sound was so close that it was almost above our heads. Pan Zi raised his hand to make us stop, and looked up at the tree shadow above us like a ghost. In the situation where the moon can’t shine under the canopy, our torch is not long enough, and the light can’t shine on it. We can only see the darkness between the canopy, and even if the sound comes from it, we can’t describe the whole picture of the tree. Anyway, the crowns of the trees here are almost all integrated into one, and it is impossible to tell which one is which.
