Chapter 229 Sand Snake
After Chu Yunyi's confirmation, there were airflows in three of the hundreds of tunnels in this underground cave.

"The air flow in the cave at the twelve o'clock and two o'clock directions is extremely weak. It is estimated that these two tunnels are far away from the exit. The air flow in the tunnel at the eight o'clock direction is obvious, but..."

Cui Tianxiao: "But what?"

Li Xing finished for Chu Yunyi: "But there is an almost complete fresh sand snake slough at the entrance of the corridor. If we choose this road, we are likely to encounter a sand snake."

Cui Tianxiao exclaimed: "What! I thought the sand snake was extinct!"

Ye Qingting: "There are still many sand silkworms. As long as conditions permit, it is entirely possible for them to grow into sand snakes."

Chu Yunyi added: "From the analysis of the snake slough, the sand snake is at least a hundred years old and its body length is more than 200 meters."

Although the two-hundred-meter-long sand snake is the younger brother of the sand snake world, it still takes a lot of effort to fight.

Ye Qingting thought for a while and said: "Cousin, Axing, I want to choose the corridor at eight o'clock. It would be best if the corridor goes straight to the ground. If not, we will have a better chance of getting out by following the Sand Snake."

Even if this sand snake doesn't bask in the sun, it will always come out of the ground to excrete. It's much faster to follow it than follow the air current!
Chu Yunyi and Li Xing looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Qing Ting would make the same choice.

"Axiao, what about you?"

"I have no opinion."

"Then it's decided, let's go in the eight o'clock direction."

Everyone followed Chu Yunyi to the entrance of the corridor. Cui Tianxiao saw the huge wrinkled snake slough at a glance and couldn't help but feel a chill.

The snake slough is so big, and the size of the sand snake will only be even more amazing. He was originally afraid of snakes, but he fell into the snake's nest. Did God deliberately play tricks on him?

In order to prevent the transparent monster from attacking again, Li Xing and Ye Qingting changed places.In order not to arouse the alertness of Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao, Li Xing half-opened her consciousness. Fortunately, Chu Yunyi was walking not far in front of her, and happened to be within the range covered by her consciousness.The four of them just walked into the corridor.

Sand silkworms are amphibious, but sand snakes are extremely averse to water. Once they eat water-rich animals or plants, sand snakes will excrete excess water in the form of sweat through glands on their skin.

In addition to excreting excess water, the glands also release body odor and mark territory.Therefore, wherever the sand snake passes, it will leave obvious body odor.

As soon as we entered the corridor, we smelled a faint smell of heather.

The soil in this corridor is fresh and the body odor is strong, which proves that the sand snake has not passed by for a long time, which is a good thing.

As the walking distance gradually increased, the air in the corridor became increasingly polluted, and the smell of heather became stronger and stronger.The Sand Snake was not far away from them, but the faces of the three male companions showed embarrassment.

Sand snakes are so evil. They have such a body odor that makes people blush. Just because of this, they deserve their genetic collapse!

Chu Yunyi couldn't bear it any longer and used the wind blade to stir up the airflow. Even if he exhausted all his mental energy, he still wanted to make the smell disperse. Li Xing couldn't smell it.

Cui Tianxiao secretly glanced at Li Xing with his peripheral vision, and felt relieved when he saw her expression was as calm as usual.

Xing'er was young and naive and didn't understand the meaning of this smell. Otherwise, the three grown men would be embarrassed to death.

While his companions endured the smell that reached straight to the sky, the "simple" Li Xing had already blocked his sense of smell and dutifully used his spiritual consciousness to protect Chu Yunyi.Along the way, he didn't find anything. Li Xing couldn't help but wonder if the knife he threw just now hurt the transparent monster and made it afraid to come again?

If only this was the case, they could focus on finding a way out.

After leaving here, Li Xing must ask Yang Zhou whether the high-precision laboratory equipment has produced any results.

At this moment, Ye Qingting, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his hand and signaled the team to stop advancing. Chu Yunyi's voice rang in everyone's ears at the right time.

"Attention everyone, there is a sand snake one kilometer ahead."

Li Xing suddenly became excited. He really didn't expect that this trip would go so smoothly and that he would meet the Sand Snake so soon.

Li Xing: "Captain, I'm ready, give the order!" Arrive early and finish fighting and go out early. She still has a lot of things to do, so there's no time to waste time underground!

Seeing Li Xing's eagerness to try, Ye Qingting really had a headache.This child usually looks gentle and gentle, but why does he become so conspicuous when it comes to fighting, making him look more like a man than a man?
"Stay back!" Ye Qingting glared at Li Xing and said to Chu Yunyi: "Cousin, is the space where the sand snake is located big or small?"

"It's small. It's eating. The tunnel is the same width as its body, so it can only move forward and backward."

Ye Qingting's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

"Everyone, since there is not enough corridor for the sand snake to turn around, we will harass the sand snake behind it. When the sand snake is disturbed, it will definitely burrow into the ground, so we will follow it out!"

Cui Tianxiao scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "How do you know that the sand snake will definitely burrow into the ground? What if it goes down?"

"Axiao, I have read research literature on sand snakes. The literature says that the tail end of sand snakes is most likely to be parasitized by star beasts such as barnacles. If the parasitism is severe, the cloaca will be blocked, affecting excretion and causing the death of the sand snake. "

"In order to avoid being parasitized, once the sand snake feels pain at its tail, it will immediately burrow into the ground and excrete the moment its body leaves the soil layer, allowing the excrement to wash away the parasitic soil barnacles."

"If this doesn't kill the soil barnacle, it will keep rolling and rubbing on the ground, using the sun's rays and high-temperature sand to kill the parasites. This is one of the reasons why sand snakes like to bask in the sun."

After hearing this, Cui Tianxiao's eyes were full of admiration, and the little emotion just now disappeared immediately: "I can't tell, Qing Ting, you know a lot!"

Ye Qingting: Hehe (*^▽^*)
Chu Yunyi analyzed it and felt that Ye Qingting's method was feasible. After everyone discussed the specific countermeasures, they ran to the back of "Snake".

Although he had already mentally prepared himself, Li Xing was still shocked and opened his mouth slightly after seeing the huge thing in front of him.

What they saw was just a cross-section of the sand snake's body, which was oblate in shape, ten meters high and 15 meters wide.Sand snakes are orange-red in color, and their skin is covered with rough, hard, rock-like scales.

Ye Qingting took out his ice sword and shot a series of ice arrows at the sand snake's butt.The ice arrow hit the hard scales of the sand snake, splitting into several segments in an instant, and fell from the air with a flutter.The sand snake didn't even leave a mark on its body.

Cui Tianxiao curled his lips and gave Ye Qingting a "look at me" look. He opened his thunder bow like a full moon and shot a thick purple thunder arrow at the Sand Snake.The angle of the thunder arrow was extremely tricky, and it hit the gap between the two scales.

This arrow hurt the Sand Snake. A dull roar came from the front, and then the Sand Snake accelerated its movement.Everyone ran forward closely behind Sand Snake, and everyone noticed that the corridor was obviously tilted upward.

It seemed that Qing Ting's judgment was correct. The Sand Snake was quickly approaching the ground along the corridor. They were saved!
