Chapter 390 Survival
"Great creature, are you the snake in God's Garden of Eden? As a descendant of Adam and Eve, I am willing to sacrifice my life to you!"

At this moment, he forgot the worldly troubles and constraints and experienced the fantasy and excitement that explorers pursued.

The giant snake obviously had not expected such a character to appear. It slowly approached Er Lingyi and stared at him for a long time with its green eyes. Xinzi flew up and down in front of him but did not touch him.

Er Lingyi bravely stretched out his hand, gently touched the letter, and said with a smile: "Holy Spirit, you are so great and mysterious that I yearn for you! If you represent God, please take me to the Garden of Eden, let me meet the creator of all things, and let me bathe in the glory of heaven!"

The giant snake seemed moved by his courage. It opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar: "Ah!" The rocks shook and rolled down because of the roar, as if it was really the incarnation of God.

However, the next moment the giant snake lowered its head and unceremoniously rolled Er Ling into its mouth with its tongue. Its sharp fangs instantly pierced his body and swallowed him.

Han Linger and Zhi Youce ran wildly in the cave with flashlights in their hands, hoping to escape from this terrifying abyss. The cave was deep and dark, with water dripping from time to time. It was obviously a limestone cave.

If they had not encountered the threat of the giant snake, they might have stopped to appreciate the wonders in the cave - the stone pillars were colorful under the light, as gorgeous as the neon lights in a dance hall.

However, at this moment, everyone only had fear and the thought of escaping. They only hoped that this cave could be their refuge, so that the giant snake could not track them.

Fortunately, the giant snake did not seem to enter the cave. It wandered around the cave entrance for a while and then left.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard no more noise outside. Eric counted the number of people and found that nearly one-third of them had been lost.

The bodyguards were unharmed, and it seemed they did a good job in protecting themselves.

Han Ling'er and Zhi Youce were still in shock and held each other's hands tightly. Han Ling'er was covered in blood and dirt, and Zhi Youce took some clean water from the cave to wash her.

"Is this the jungle's revenge on us?" Han Ling'er muttered to herself, "Because we hunt animals at will?"

After being washed by the clear water, Han Linger's face became even more beautiful due to fear and excitement, and she looked like a beauty emerging from the bath. Zhi Youce was stunned for a moment and even forgot to answer her.

Han Linger didn't notice Zhi Youce's strangeness, she just blinked and fell into deep thought. In her current situation, she no longer had any thoughts of love, and the only thing in her mind was how to survive.

Eric took a sip of water, lit a cigar, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the thick white smoke. He looked ahead with a serious expression and smiled, "It's incredible that the golden snake can grow so big."

Han Linger was startled by his words, as if she was awakened from a deep sleep. She turned her head and stared at Eric and asked, "Golden Snake?"

"Well, that's a very rare species of snake." Eric looked at her and explained, "This kind of snake is distributed all over the world, but usually doesn't grow big. The largest one is about the same thickness as a human arm. Many wealthy people like to keep it as a pet because it is shiny and looks very wealthy."

Han Linger turned to look at Zhi Youce after hearing this, and they both said at the same time: "Deadly golden snake?!"

They couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, as if there was some mysterious connection between this giant snake and the organization that had kidnapped them before.

"Is it possible that this is a giant pet raised by a mysterious person?" Han Linger guessed, her eyes widened with excitement and fear, flashing like two small light bulbs.

"It's very likely." Zhi Youce nodded in agreement and even laughed. "This deadly giant golden snake was probably raised by the mysterious man with the huge amount of money he got from kidnapping! If that's true, then the mysterious man must be quite old!"

Others didn't pay much attention to their conversation, because most people didn't know the existence of the mysterious man and the organization. They were more concerned about how to escape next.

At this moment, a tourist suddenly screamed, then jumped up and pointed at the ground and shouted: "Snake!"

A bodyguard reacted quickly, raised his gun and shot, killing the snake with a "bang".

Han Linger walked over and saw that it was also a golden snake, but it was much smaller than the previous one and only as thick as an egg.

However, at this moment, another tourist pointed to the back and shouted: "Run!"

Everyone turned around and saw hundreds of golden snakes rushing towards them, each one as thick as an egg!

Everyone ran in panic, and those who were exhausted were soon caught up and swallowed by the snakes.

Han Linger and Zhi Youce didn't know how long they had been running until a light appeared in front of them. They rushed over with all their might and finally saw the long-lost sunshine!

"We escaped! I hope the golden snake is not waiting for us here!" Han Linger shouted loudly and rushed out of the cave in a few steps.

The sun shone generously on the two of them, bringing a warm current straight to their hearts. Surrounding them was a vast expanse of green grass, and as far as the eye could see, a farm stood quietly in the embrace of the farmland, not too far away.

When the farm came into view, Han Linger and Zhi Youce were like drowning people who had grabbed driftwood, or like hungry children who had seen their mothers. They were so excited that their bodies trembled, and they ran towards the farm crying. After a while, they finally arrived at their destination.

At this time, a little child was teasing a puppy. When he saw the two people coming, he grinned and showed an innocent smile.

Han Linger stroked the child gently, then touched the wall of the farm. After confirming that this was not an illusory mirage, she sat down on the ground weakly, leaning her back against the corner, gasping for breath.

Zhi Youce turned around and saw Eric hurried over, surrounded by several bodyguards. Following closely behind him were several tourists, most of whom were adventurers.

"Haha, there are still survivors. It seems that once people get crazy, they are all long-distance runners." Zhi Youce joked. After Eric arrived, he first gasped for breath, then opened the kettle and drank a few gulps of water happily, and then he felt much better.

"There won't be any snakes here." A farmer came over and said with a smile.

Han Linger was surprised to hear this because the farmer was speaking Chinese. She asked in surprise, "Are you Chinese?" For a moment, she felt very close to him.

"Yes, my family immigrated here a long time ago." The farmer responded with a smile, waving his hand towards the village, "The whole village is one family. Hundreds of years ago, it was just a couple who have been reproducing until now."

"Yes, many villages are like this. They start with a couple and gradually grow and develop over thousands of years." Han Linger nodded in agreement.

"Come here, child, call uncle and aunt!" the farmer instructed, touching the child's head.

"Hello uncle! Hello auntie!" the child shouted obediently.

Han Linger felt the safe atmosphere around her and couldn't help laughing. She teased the child and said, "You should call me brother or sister! We are still very young."

"Hello, brother! Hello, sister!" the child changed his words and shouted.

Everyone was amused, and the fear and anxiety in their hearts dissipated a lot.

"What happened to that big snake?" Han Linger asked, pointing at the forest. At this moment, there was silence there, as if nothing had happened.

"This mountain forest stretches for thousands of miles, hiding countless rare and exotic animals. Their history is even longer than ours. In comparison, we are outsiders." The farmer said with emotion, "This may be a lesson from nature to us, or it can be regarded as a toll."

"Haha, this is the first time I've paid a toll with my life." Han Linger said with a smile, "But fortunately, I'm fine."

After chatting for a while, Eric decided not to wait any longer. He counted the number of people and found that about half of them were left. Interestingly, none of the bodyguards were missing.

"This professional quality is really impeccable!" Eric patted a bodyguard on the chest and praised.

As night fell, they sat in the open space panting, and they were so tired that they even forgot to eat dinner.

Fortunately, Han Linger remembered it. She opened her backpack, took out two bottles of fresh water and a few slices of roasted mutton and distributed them to everyone. Eric, Zhi Youce and others took the food and devoured it ravenously, because they had consumed too much energy in the cave. The roasted mutton could quickly help them recover their strength and calories.

After eating and drinking, everyone gathered together to chat. To liven up the atmosphere, they took out the remaining wine. Eric and Zhi Youce sat together. Eric only tasted a little, while Zhi Youce drank it all in one gulp. Eric knew that he could not drink much, so after finishing this glass, even though he was still not satisfied, he did not refill it.

In the following toasting session, Eric looked at the village in front of him and couldn't help thinking of his hometown. It was an inconspicuous small county town, but it had rich hunting grounds and sea salt resources. It was these resources that gave him the opportunity to study in his youth.

"Come on! Eric, let's drink!" Zhi Youce saw that Eric was absent-minded, so he handed the glass to him. He knew that as long as Eric held the glass, he would not be distracted anymore. Sure enough, after Eric took the glass, he took another sip.

The magic of alcohol is really amazing. After just one drink, Eric felt warm all over and the coldness in his body disappeared.

"Eric! Thank you for your hard work these days. Without you, we might have met with an accident long ago!" Zhi Youce said gratefully.

"No, no, this is what I should do." Eric put down his glass and responded modestly.

"Do you think we can get back alive?" Zhi Youce suddenly asked. Seeing the number of people in the team gradually decrease, his mood became heavier.

Eric looked worried, and the wine glass in his hand swayed slightly. He didn't know whether he could return safely. But as long as he was still alive, he couldn't give up hope. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he had to persevere to the end.

After Eric's persuasion and encouragement, everyone regained their confidence. He believed that at this critical moment, everyone should unite as one and face difficulties together. Positive people can see opportunities in every adversity, while negative people only see adversity in every opportunity. There is no hopeless situation in this world, only people who are hopeless about the situation.

The next day, the wind and rain stopped and it was sunny again. However, Eric was worried. It turned out that Han Linger accidentally kicked off the quilt when she was sleeping at night and caught a cold. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still told Eric the truth.

Han Linger looked a little haggard, so Eric quickly brought a cup of hot water and touched her forehead. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever. As long as she drank more hot water and rested for a while, she should be able to recover. The others were full of energy, had no signs of a cold, and were in very good condition. But Eric's burden was even heavier, because although Han Linger didn't have a fever now, no one could predict what might happen next.

This place is remote and isolated from the outside world, and there is nothing to do in case of emergency. Therefore, it is urgent for Eric to find some herbs for emergency use.

Fortunately, Eric had studied Chinese medicine in college and participated in various wilderness survival training. These valuable experiences and knowledge enabled him to handle emergencies with ease. Although he was not very professional, he was more than capable of dealing with a common cold.

This mountain forest is not only lush with trees, but also rich in wild grass and vegetables. A few days ago, Eric saw some places growing wormwood and gray wormwood leaves, which are good medicines for treating colds. Although they are just raw materials, they can also play a certain role after taking them.

"Ling'er, get up and drink the medicine first!" Eric filled a bowl of medicine with a coconut shell and handed it to Han Ling'er. Seeing her working hard to collect herbs and make medicine for herself, Han Ling'er took the bowl and drank it in one breath. This scene made Eric feel very relieved. However, it was not enough to just drink the medicine, and fresh food was needed to supplement nutrition. Although the meat and fruits they stockpiled were edible, they had already deteriorated due to the influence of the climate.

If you are not extremely hungry, it is difficult to swallow. So Eric took a steel fork to the river. He dived into the river and caught three or four fresh big fish in one breath. He originally planned to roast them, but considering the limited oil resources, he could only make fish soup instead. Soon Han Linger's meal was served. In such a difficult situation, Eric still tried his best to make some delicious meat.

Han Linger's eyes lit up when she saw the steaming fish soup. She hadn't had a hot meal for several days. Today was a rare opportunity for her to have a big meal. She couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and put a piece of fish into her mouth. "It's so delicious! This fish soup is so delicious!" Han Linger shouted without caring about her image.
