Chapter 260 Poisonous Smoke
At this moment, there is a huge snake shadow outside the door, and in the room behind us, the crackling sound is becoming more and more clear. There are wolves in front and tigers in the back. Even in his hand, he couldn't dispel that strong uncomfortable feeling.

Yes, it is an uncomfortable feeling.

The big snake blocked the door and never came out, as if trying to trap us in the room.I remembered a series of things before, and suddenly realized that Zhong Gong was dragged away, as if it was a trick of this big snake. It wanted to lead us here. At this moment, it blocked the door again, obviously not wanting us to leave this place .

This small wooden door, not to mention the giant snake, even Tofu and I, kicked a few times alone, and the door panel could be kicked over immediately, but the big snake outside didn't move at all, it just blocked us, no matter how we looked at it, something was wrong.

As soon as I told everyone my thoughts, Xiao Jing tremblingly said, "You mean, it brought us here on purpose? Could it be because of the things in the coffin?"

What's in that coffin?
If it was really zongzi, I would not be so scared.

Thinking of this, I said to everyone: "It's better to deal with the thing in the coffin first, it must be the same as the big snake outside." Zhong Gong's face turned cold, he was obviously very upset when he was attacked by the big snake before, and immediately Wanting to get the place back, Dang even headed towards the house where the coffin was placed.

At this moment, Zhuan Rui suddenly said: "Don't be impulsive." Then, he looked at me and said, "We were also in the hall at that time, why didn't the snake attack us?"

I couldn't help being taken aback, and said to myself: Yes, at that time, after the snake knocked down Zhong Gong, the snake was fully capable of attacking us. It was also a tricky thing based on its head, but it didn't deal with us. , what is the reason for this?
I suddenly thought of the dead man in the side hall, and couldn't help thinking: Is there something that the big snake fears in the side hall?At that time, the man was chased by the snake, so he escaped into the side hall and closed the door, but because the snake kept guarding outside, he was finally trapped and died in the hall?
I imagined it for a while, and felt wrong. If it was me, even in that situation, under desperate circumstances, I would not sit still. Maybe there are other dangers?I thought of the long-haired lantern floating outside that looked like a human head, and I shivered violently in my heart.

At this time, everyone had already stepped into the room, and there was a constant crackling sound in the coffin, as if something was about to rush out.Zhuanrui and I looked at each other, the two remained calm, each standing at the two ends of the coffin, while the rest were holding guns and wielding shovels, concentrating on guard.

I counted one, two, three silently in my heart, and then I shot at the same time as Zhuan Rui, and with all my strength, I suddenly lifted the coffin lid, and with the sound of the coffin lid touching the ground, a black air rushed out of the coffin, almost Zhuanrui and I had expected that we backed up the moment the coffin lid was lifted, so we were not hit by the black air.

Then I heard Tofu say, "I don't know what kind of zongzi it is with such a strong corpse smell."

Everyone was on guard, but they didn't see the zongzi coming out. After a while, the black air dissipated. I was puzzled, so I took a step forward and looked at one of them. After seeing it, I couldn't help but freeze.

It turned out that there were not any century-old rice dumplings in the coffin, there was only a pair of white bones inside, but around the white bones were all large dark green eggs, and from those eggs, a dense group of wriggling snakes emerged impressively.

"Tsk." Zhuan Rui said, "It turned out to be a snake nest. It seems that the big snakes outside want us to be snacks for these little snakes."

I took a look at the wriggling snakes in the coffin, their tails slapped the coffin or other similar ones from time to time, making a crackling sound, the snakes wriggled, like a black meat ball, with the opening of the coffin lid , began to crawl out slowly, and the scalp of the people watching it was numb.Tofu is most afraid of these things. Although he has become more courageous during this period of time, when he sees so many snakes, he still hesitates. He immediately backs up, and in a blink of an eye, he backs to the door. Then, he heard a bang, this kid He kicked his legs and fell straight to the ground.

I couldn't help but cover my face, feeling so fucking ashamed, how did I get to know such a coward, only a bunch of snakes, and I fainted from fright.

The local tyrant Zhuanrui couldn't help but smiled, looked at me, teased his usual lukewarm expression, and said, "Your man, handle it yourself." I smiled wryly, and while stepping back, I pulled the tofu up from the ground, Xin said that the two women in the team, even Xiao Jing, were still standing, you were frightened and fainted, if I were you, I would immediately take a knife and leave the palace.

These snakes may look scary, but they are small snakes, and they are not difficult to deal with. We have solid fuel, and we only need to ignite the fuel to burn this nest of snakes to death. Tofu is so insane.Thinking of this, I picked him up, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. Tofu's face was a little red, and he didn't completely faint, but he couldn't say a word, and he was panting heavily.

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly discovered that there was a crimson smoke floating in through the crack of the closed wooden door in the outer room. The smell was extremely spicy. As soon as I smelled it, I immediately felt dizzy and weak , Until now, I realized that Tofu didn't faint from fright, but that when he retreated, he happened to be covered by the crimson smoke that came in from the crack of the door, so he passed out.

I didn't know it well, but it was too late. At this time, the smoke had drifted into the room we were in, and everyone's figures shook instantly, and Zhong Gong shouted: "Everyone, hold your breath, the person who fainted me earlier , That's the smell." Now there is a fart, the smoke has already floated in from the outside, I just feel top-heavy, a sense of dizziness hits me, and the whole person falls to the ground, the most unfortunate thing is, It just happened to be at the feet of the tofu, it smelled so bad, I wanted to chop off his feet.

As I fell, the rest of the people also fell one after another, and it was too late to hold their breath.

At this moment, even a fool can understand that the poisonous smoke is most likely sprayed by the snake. It must not be an ordinary snake, but a demon snake. It wants to stun us with poison. Children and grandchildren as snacks.It was too late to realize it now, I fell to the ground, and saw the black snake gushing out of the coffin spreading out and crawling towards us.

The rest of the people had their backs to us, so I couldn't see their expressions clearly, but it must not be much better.

As soon as we fell down, the poisonous smoke stopped spraying. At this time, Tofu's hoarse voice was heard, and he said weakly, "Miss Gu, can you still move? If you can, give me a shot, I don't want to be bitten by a snake Die." He heard Gu Wenmin panting in front of him: "Ru, if I can move, I will definitely kill myself first."

At this moment, I suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon. All of us had already fallen to the ground, but Xiao Jing was the only one who didn't fall. He just fell to the ground in shock, looking helpless.

I was startled, and said in my heart: What's going on?Could it be that the poisonous smoke doesn't work on Xiao Jing?At this moment, a group of snakes came out of the hole, Xiao Jing was very frightened, with tears in her eyes, she stumbled to my side, shook my arm, and said: "Xuan, Xuanxuan, get up quickly, they are about to crawl over. "

I smiled wryly and said, "Can't you see that we've been poisoned by the poisonous smoke and can't move."

Tofu said, "Miss Xiao, why are you alright?"

Xiao Jing was at a loss, anxious and frightened, and said, "I-I don't know, what should I do now!" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, more anxious than the rest of us who couldn't move.In an instant, those little snakes were already very close to us, and in the next moment, they could crawl on us. At this moment, I didn't care to think about why Xiao Jing didn't faint. lit solid fuel."

Under my command, Xiao Jing hurriedly rummaged through the equipment bag. She was anxious and frightened, and her subordinates panicked. The more anxious, the slower the speed. In a flash, some small snakes had already climbed onto our bodies, and some crawled up the trouser legs. , Fortunately, we did not resist, and these snakes were not in a hurry to bite us.At this moment, Tofu suddenly snorted, and I hurriedly said, "What's wrong, you were bitten? Xiaodou, hold on."

Tofu said: "I was not bitten, it crawled into my clothes."

I said: "Don't be afraid, Sima Qian is physically disabled, but he still wrote "Historical Records"."

Zhuanji also said comfortingly: "The incompleteness of the body does not mean the incompleteness of the will. But why don't these snakes crawl into our pants, and must crawl into yours?"

I said, "The underpants seller is a girl, and she bought a large size to save face."

Tofu said angrily: "You guys have no conscience, I'm going to be a ghost, and the first one will strangle you to death."

When Xiao Jing heard this, she was probably stimulated by the unreliable words of tofu. The solid fuel she just touched fell to the ground with a trembling hand. I said angrily, "Xiao Jing, don't listen to his nonsense, start the fire quickly." Break apart the solid fuel and ignite it, and throw the largest piece into the coffin. After a while, the whole room is filled with flames. The snakes are in the fire, some of them are burning, and some of them are hiding in the dark. In the corner, Sensen spit out letters to us.
