Indiana Jones

Chapter 117 The Smoky Jungle (01)

Rhode didn't notice something crawling onto his shoulder, but he saw Ma Zhong's terrified expression on the opposite side. He knew that he might be in trouble, but he couldn't tell what it was. Ma Zhong opened his mouth and pointed at his shoulder. Speechless, Rhodes couldn't understand what he meant for a while.

Si Xuanyi also noticed that something was wrong here, but because of the angle, neither he nor Li Siming could see the snake on Rhode's shoulder, and Liang Rong lay on the ground without looking over there.

"What's wrong?" Si Xuanyi asked Ma Zhong in a low voice, he had a premonition that something was going to happen.

Ma Zhong gestured to them to keep their voices down, and he kept pointing at his shoulder and pointing at Rhodes.

Rhodes finally understood what Ma Zhong meant, and began to glance back with his eyes. Li Siming had already moved to Ma Zhong's side with his gun in hand, and finally saw what was going on.

"Don't move..." Li Siming touched the Springfield M1903 on his back while comforting Rhodes. He was confident that he would blow the snake's head off with one shot, but he needed time.

From the behavior of other people, Rude knew that he might be in danger, but he didn't dare to move around, but he didn't see anything after glancing at him for a long time, and he didn't dare to look back, his head was covered in cold sweat for a while.

The poisonous snake just protruded a small part from Rhodes' shoulder, the shaking snake's head spit out letters from time to time, the yellow snake's eyes gleamed with venom, Rhodes' head moved involuntarily, and the snake immediately made a vigilant move. In the attacking posture, Li Siming quickly waved his hands to tell Rhode not to move, because Rhode's face and neck began to twitch because of nervousness, sweat kept rolling down, which clearly attracted the attention of the poisonous snake, and it began to twist its neck to observe Rhodes.

Li Siming took off the sniper rifle on his back as quickly as possible, raised the gun, and took aim in one go. The poisonous snake was put into the scope by him, and the crosshairs were also fixed on the snake's head. But at this moment, he saw it in the scope. Rhode's neck twitched vigorously, and his flesh throbbed violently, almost at the same time the poisonous snake bit him down...

"Boom..." A muffled gunshot sounded, the poisonous snake's head was smashed to pieces, blood sprayed all over Rhode's face, and he fell to the ground as if he had lost his support.

"It's dangerous..." Li Siming wiped the cold sweat off his face. In fact, he was also very nervous, but he couldn't tolerate any hesitation at that moment just now.

"How is it?" Si Xuanyi went over to ask Rhodes.

Rhodes lay there motionless, his hands were still twitching, as if he was convulsed by excessive tension, his face and neck were covered with snake blood, Si Xuanyi poured water to help him wash it off, but luckily he was fine. He wasn't bitten, and it took a while for Rhodes to relax. After drinking a few sips of water, his condition improved a lot.

"Good marksmanship." Ma Zhong said, wiping off a cold sweat.

"I hope it will always be this good." Li Siming breathed a sigh of relief, "Go and get something to eat."

"This is fine." As soon as he mentioned cooking, Ma Zhong immediately regained his energy.

"Don't worry, find a suitable place first, it's not safe." Liang Rong told them.

"Yes, we have to change places." Si Xuanyi nodded in agreement.

A few people struggled to get up and walked forward looking for a gap in the woods. In fact, the direction had been determined and it was still heading north, but the path was not so easy to guarantee. In the dense forest, it was never guaranteed to walk in a straight line. Wrong roads were inevitable, and often Going in the wrong direction and having to make constant corrections is different now because they just want to find a place to rest and are so tired.

Soon they returned to the side of the hillside. They climbed up the hillside for a while and set up camp under an oak tree on the ridge. The main reason why they chose to be under the tree was that they had no strength to climb the tree. This position was relatively condescending. Safety.

Eating compressed biscuits and canned food and drinking cold water is currently their best choice. They are not sure if there are ghosts nearby, so they must not light a fire casually.

"I'm afraid I'll choke to death." Li Siming burped while eating the can.

"I don't have the strength to eat anymore." Si Xuanyi said while leaning against the tree.

"I'm just talking about you guys..." Ma Zhong gobbled it up, "No, how can you have strength if you can't even eat?"

"Go on when you're full. We can't rest for too long before leaving the devil's haunt. It's still early before dark. We have to take advantage of the dawn to continue on our way."

"I~fuck..." Ma Zhong almost spat out what was in his mouth, "I have no strength left."

"If you don't want to die... go." Rhodes took a deep breath, "Now your physical strength is better than mine, and I can last until now after losing two pints of blood. Are you not as good as me?"

Ma Zhong groaned for a long time without saying a word of rebuttal. Liang Rong's condition was not as bad as expected. After eating something, she became more energetic. Her body didn't recover so quickly, but she persisted. He is much stronger than Ma Zhong.

In fact, they all understand that what Rhodes said is right, and now is indeed not the time to rest.

This jungle is denser than the one on the other side of the canyon. It is filled with miasma, and the trees are thicker and taller. There are many natural nets made of vines between the trees. This thing is a test for their progress, and the road will take a knife. Cutting it out, this is his physical work, and what they lack now is physical strength.

"The Immortal Rita..." Ma Zhong panted like a dog tiredly.

"Where the hell are you from? One sentence from Shandong on the left and one sentence from Henan on the right, and some random words of Shanxi dialect." Li Siming asked while chopping vines.

"I'm Chinese." Ma Zhong said in a nonchalant way.

"The progress is a bit slow, but it's okay. It's unlikely that this kind of place will be attacked, but you have to guard against wild animals." Rhodes panted. He was already dizzy and weak, but he still insisted. If you want to survive, you have to persevere. There is no compromise in matters of life and death.

"As long as the devil doesn't come, there is nothing to be afraid of." Ma Zhong actually said something polite, and he didn't know when he learned this word.

"This kind of place is not suitable for large beasts. They are restricted by reminders, but snakes are not included. We have to be careful." Si Xuanyi said.

"Isn't it better to have a lot of news, and talk less and save some energy to go on the road." Rhodes said.

In this way, they continued to trek in the sultry and humid jungle, but the progress was slow. In this environment, they couldn’t go as fast as they wanted. Strenuous exercise.

"What's that?" Ma Zhong said in a low voice, pointing to a clump of tree crowns.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and it took a long time to find a foot wearing military boots protruding from the canopy of the tree...
