Chapter 75 The Snakes’ Plot

We didn’t pay attention to the number of footprints just now, but after hearing Poker-Face say that, we immediately looked at them and found that he was right. We both instantly became more alert and took a few steps back, Pan Zi even going so far as to raise his gun and aim it at …

Chapter 74 Footprints by the Corpse

When we had been traveling in the desert, back before we entered the oasis, it was pretty common to cover our lower bodies in our sleeping bags and leave our upper bodies exposed. That way, we could stay warm but also get up quickly in case there was an emergency. That was how A Ning …

Chapter 73 Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 3)

The stone was relatively dry, so I set A Ning's body down on it. We were all exhausted, so we sat down to rest. Everyone then took off their clothes and spread them out on the stone to dry. Fatty wanted to light a smokeless stove, but he couldn’t find one after rummaging through our …

Chapter 72 Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 2)

We all looked at each other, feeling as if everything that had happened last night was fated—as it turned out, we were only ten minutes away from the canyon’s so-called exit when we chose to stop and rest last night. If we had kept on walking at that time, the end result might have been …

Chapter 71 Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 1)

Two minutes later, A Ning stopped breathing and died in my arms. The expression on her incomprehensibly beautiful face, framed by the strands of her disheveled hair, was one of surprise. We stayed by her side until she breathed her last breath, and when she finally went still, time seemed to freeze. I suddenly felt …

Chapter 70 King of Snakes

It was a “pheasant neck”.(1) Why was such a snake here?! I took a closer look—that flaming red cockscomb, snake body, and frightening upright stance… sure enough, it was a “pheasant neck”. I wasn’t mistaken. I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This kind of snake was very rare. In my hometown, it was …

Chapter 69 Crazy Python Disaster

The tree canopy overhead was actually very close to us—only about two or three meters away—so we could see the snake’s scales very clearly. It was a tree python as thick as a bucket at the widest part, but I couldn’t tell how long it was since most of its body was hidden in the …

Chapter 68 Swamp Demon’s Domain (Part 3)

When Pan Zi mentioned this, I thought about it and decided that it probably really did happen. But while it did make sense, I didn’t agree with his last statement—those who fled into the Gobi at that time might have been militants, but they were armed with good guns. Although there weren’t many of them, …

Chapter 67 Swamp Demon’s Domain (Part 2)

When I woke up, I immediately sat up and hit my head on someone’s chest. I let out a startled yelp while A Ning almost fell out of the tree from the force of my blow. As I instinctively grabbed her, I finally came to my senses and found that I was leaning against the …

Chapter 66 Swamp Demon’s Domain (Part 1)

After Poker-Face finished speaking, we didn't immediately understand what he meant and just stared at him in shock for a while. When we finally realized what he was saying, I was completely baffled: they had all said that the body had been dead for a long time, so how could it suddenly become A Ning's …
