Just when everyone was at a loss, the strange white mist began to slowly dissipate, dissipating in wisps, as if it was gently pulled away by an invisible hand.
However, as the white mist faded away, the huge and terrifying snake head reappeared in everyone's sight.
It hung high in the air, its cold vertical pupils flashing an even more terrifying light against the backdrop of the mist. Drops of water condensed from the mist hung on its dark scales, as if it was a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell, exuding the breath of death all over its body.
For a moment, everyone's hearts, which had just been relieved, rose to their throats again.
Suddenly, a creepy hissing sound was heard again.
The snake actually turned back. Its body was huge, and its scales gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the dim light.
The triangular head was held high, and its blood-red vertical pupils revealed cruelty and greed, staring at everyone viciously.
Zhao Kai's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his voice changed in fear as he shouted, "Run!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned around and ran wildly in the swamp.
When the others saw this, they were terrified and followed him in fleeing without a second thought.
Cai Xiaoxiao screamed in fear as she ran: "Why is this snake haunting me? Help!"
Her steps were unsteady and she almost tripped over debris in the swamp several times.
Wang Lin supported her with great effort, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: "Sister Xiaoxiao is already injured, and she is still a burden to others. What should I do?"
But he still said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, stay calm, let's run together!"
Chu Tingting ran while calmly observing her surroundings and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Stay calm! Panic will only cause you to lose your composure!"
However, fear had completely taken over everyone's hearts, and her words fell on deaf ears, with no one responding.
The scenery around the swamp became increasingly bizarre.
The twisted trees looked like monsters with bared fangs and claws. Their trunks were covered with moss and unknown fungi, emitting a foul stench.
The branches intertwined with each other, forming intricate shapes, as if trying to block everyone's way.
On the ground, lush vines spread wildly, like a huge green spider web, covering the swamp.
The vines are covered with sharp thorns that can easily cut your skin if you are not careful.
With every step they took, the swamp under their feet made a puffing sound, as if countless hands were pulling at their feet.
Led by Zhao Kai, everyone fled blindly in the swamp.
After running for a long time, everyone gradually became exhausted and their pace slowed down.
At this moment, Liu Yichen suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "No, look, isn't this where we were just now?"
Everyone looked around and was horrified to find that they were back to the original place.
Zhao Kai looked incredulous and stammered, "How...how is this possible? We have been running for so long..."
Liu Yichen bent down and picked up a piece of white toilet paper on the ground. He said shyly, "I remember I blew my nose when I first got here and threw the paper away. If I hadn't gone back to where I came from, how could I still see it?"
"Tsk tsk... it's really unhygienic."
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still litter everywhere. Isn't this ruining the reputation of our Zhengzhong Middle School?" Qian Bao said viciously.
However, at this moment, everyone had no time to criticize Liu Yichen for his uncivilized behavior, because what was more terrifying was that this piece of paper was really the paper Liu Yichen used to blow his nose.
Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she trembled as she said, "This...what on earth is going on? Are we never going to be able to get out of this?"
Wang Lin was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she cried, "This is too weird. What should we do?"
Du Ruohong frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this swamp is affected by some force. We can't run blindly like this anymore."
Chu Tingting took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said, "Don't worry, now that we know the problem, let's think of a solution together. The most urgent thing now is to get rid of this snake."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snake attacked again.
It was like a black lightning, rushing towards everyone quickly.
Wherever the snake passed, mud and water from the swamp splashed and the surrounding vines and branches were easily broken.
Du Ruohong's eyes flashed, and he decided to take the initiative.
He stood firmly on the swamp with his feet, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.
As he moved, the surrounding water elements quickly gathered together and formed a huge water ball in front of him.
The surface of the water ball is sparkling, but there is great power inside.
Du Ruohong shouted, "Go!"
The water ball shot towards the snake like a cannonball.
The snake twisted its body flexibly and easily avoided the attack of the water ball.
Then, it opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards Du Ruohong.
Du Ruohong quickly dodged to the side and at the same time condensed a solid water wall in front of him.
The snake hit the water wall, splashing huge water. The water wall shook violently under the impact of the snake, but temporarily resisted the snake's attack.
Du Ruohong took advantage of the moment when the snake's attack was blocked and controlled the water wall to squeeze towards the snake.
The snake was pressed tightly in the middle of the water wall, its body kept struggling and it let out angry roars.
However, the snake's strength was beyond imagination. With a sudden effort, it broke free from the water wall.
Liu Yichen hid aside and shouted in a trembling voice: "Du Ruohong, don't hold on, come back quickly! This snake is too powerful!"
Chu Tingting also held a long sword and quickly rushed towards the snake, shouting: "Du Ruohong, I'm here to help you!"
The snake sensed Chu Tingting's approach and swept its tail towards her.
Chu Tingting quickly dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.
Upon seeing this, Du Ruohong immediately controlled the water element, forming a torrent of water behind the snake, causing it to lose its balance.
Chu Tingting seized the opportunity, jumped high, and slashed at the snake's body with the long sword in her hand flashing with cold light.
The snake was extremely flexible. At the critical moment, it twisted its body and avoided the vital points. It was only scratched on the back by the sword.
The injured snake became even more angry and let out a deafening roar that shook the entire swamp.
The snake adjusted its body shape again and pounced towards Du Ruohong at a faster speed.
Du Ruohong danced his hands quickly, and the water element formed a huge vortex around him.
The vortex spun rapidly, creating a powerful suction force, and the snake was immediately sucked in.
Du Ruohong clenched his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and he tried his best to control the vortex to shrink continuously, trying to trap the snake to death inside.
Cai Xiaoxiao watched from the side and couldn't help but sneered: "Humph, you overestimate your own abilities. How can we deal with this snake? Don't let it kill everyone!"
Wang Lin couldn't help but said angrily: "Sister Xiaoxiao, Brother Du Ruohong is also fighting for everyone!"
Cai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Wang Lin and pinched her hard. Wang Lin stopped talking and looked aggrieved. Du Ruohong was panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat, but he still concentrated on controlling the water element.
The snake struggled frantically in the whirlpool, and the huge force caused the whirlpool to begin to shake.
Suddenly, the snake let out a low roar, and a powerful force burst out from its body. It broke free from the whirlpool and pounced towards Du Ruohong.
Du Ruohong was unable to dodge and was hit hard by the snake's head. His body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground, with blood spurting out of his mouth.
Seeing this, Chu Tingting's face changed drastically. She rushed over desperately and caught Du Ruohong. She asked anxiously, "Du Ruohong, are you okay?"
Du Ruohong's face was as pale as paper, and he said weakly: "I... I'm fine, this snake is too powerful..."
Chu Tingting looked at the snake approaching again and said firmly: "I won't let it hurt anyone!"
She gently put Du Ruohong down, stood up, holding a sword, and confronted the snake.
The snake spit out its tongue and swam slowly around Chu Tingting, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Chu Tingting stared closely at the snake's every move, not daring to relax at all.
Suddenly, the snake launched an attack. It pounced on Chu Tingting like lightning, and bit her throat with its bloody mouth.
Chu Tingting quickly turned sideways and swung the sword in her hand, stabbing towards the snake's neck.
The snake reacted extremely quickly and turned its head to avoid the fatal blow, but its scales were still cut by the sword.
Du Ruohong stood aside, enduring the pain and condensing the water element again.
He knew very well that he could not retreat at this moment and had to help Chu Tingting.
He gathered the water elements into a huge water ball and threw it towards the snake with all his might.
The snake was hit by the water ball and its body shook.
Chu Tingting took the opportunity to swing the sword at the snake again, leaving another wound on its body.
The snake let out an angry roar, and it seemed to realize that the two people in front of it were not easy to deal with. It stopped fighting and turned around and quickly fled the swamp.
Everyone looked at the direction the snake went, breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the ground.
Du Ruohong panted, looked at Chu Tingting and said, "Thank you... for saving me."
Chu Tingting smiled and said: You're welcome, we are a team and we should help each other. "
"Besides, you were already in such a serious situation just now, why do you have to be so stubborn?"
Cai Xiaoxiao snorted and said disdainfully: "Humph, Du Ruohong really overestimates his own abilities and almost hurts everyone. He is just like Chu Hao, who has no ability but insists on showing off."
Du Ruohong looked at Cai Xiaoxiao angrily, struggled to stand up, and said, "I fought with all my might for everyone, but you just stood there and made sarcastic remarks! What did you do?"
Chu Tingting looked at Cai Xiaoxiao and said seriously, "Cai Xiaoxiao, everyone is working hard to get out of danger. You should understand and support everyone instead of being sarcastic."
Zhao Kai also said, "Yes, Cai Xiaoxiao, it's not easy for everyone. Now is not the time for internal strife."
Cai Xiaoxiao looked at everyone and said disdainfully: "Humph, anyway, I think Chu Hao and Du Ruohong are too weak. They are going to die in vain."
"However, for Brother Zhao Kai's sake, I will give in to you today and you can say whatever you want!" Cai Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.
Du Ruohong walked up to Cai Xiaoxiao and said coldly, "Cai Xiaoxiao, you are too selfish. We are all working towards a common goal, but you are always making sarcastic remarks. This behavior is disgusting."
"So what?" Cai Xiaoxiao stared at him.
"Don't worry, you have no chance of getting Zhao Kai." Du Ruohong said and left, without noticing Cai Xiaoxiao's expression that looked as angry as a rotten tomato.
Chu Tingting looked at Cai Xiaoxiao and said earnestly, "Cai Xiaoxiao, we are a team. Only by uniting as one can we get through this difficult time. If everyone is like you, none of us will be able to get out of this swamp."
Cai Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention.
Everyone rested for a while and began to discuss the next countermeasures.
Chu Tingting looked at the surrounding environment and said, "We can't just wander around blindly in this swamp anymore. We have to find a way out."
Liu Yichen frowned and said, "But we still have to be careful. Who knows if the snake will come back or if there are other dangers in this swamp."
Wang Lin said with some concern: "Then we all need to be careful and take care of each other."
Everyone calmed down, made careful marks, and moved forward again.
The swamp still had an eerie atmosphere, and the surrounding scenery was eerie.
As they walked, they looked around vigilantly.
As we walked, a fog appeared ahead.
The fog was so thick that it was hard to see what was going on inside.
Chu Tingting stopped and said, "Everyone, be careful. This fog is a little strange. Let's not rush in."
Du Ruohong observed it carefully and said, "I feel like there seems to be a force in this fog that is attracting us. Maybe it has something to do with the way out."
Zhao Kai said hesitantly: "But this is too dangerous. What if there is a trap inside?"
Cai Xiaoxiao also said fearfully: "Why don't we go in another direction? This fog looks scary."
Chu Tingting thought for a while and said, "We have been wandering in this swamp for a long time. If we don't try, we may never get out. But for safety reasons, we tied each other together with vines, so that if anyone is in danger, others can find it in time."
Everyone thought this method was feasible and started to take action.
They found some thick vines and tied them tightly around each other's waists.
After getting ready, Chu Tingting took the lead and everyone walked into the fog cautiously.
In the fog, visibility is extremely low and I can only see figures not far ahead.
It was eerily quiet around, with only the sounds of people's footsteps and breathing.
Suddenly, Wang Lin felt a chill coming from behind. She turned back in horror, but saw nothing.
"What's wrong, Wang Lin?" Chu Tingting noticed that something was wrong with Wang Lin and asked softly.
Wang Lin said in a trembling voice: "I...I feel like something is following us."
Everyone suddenly became nervous and tightened their weapons.
Du Ruohong condensed the water element to form a layer of protection around him.
Liu Yichen observed the surroundings vigilantly and said, "Everyone be careful, there may be danger approaching."
At this moment, several dark shadows suddenly appeared in the fog and rushed towards the crowd quickly.
When everyone looked closely, they found that they were actually several giant spiders.
These spiders are half a person's height, crawling on the ground with eight legs, making creepy noises.
Their eyes flashed with a faint green light, and sticky spider silk spit out of their mouths. (End of this chapter)
