Snake Venom

After experiencing Jin Congwen's incident, I have a deep taboo towards these things. Xiaoye doesn't seem to have recovered yet, and she's still not well, probably because of the effects of this kind of thing.

Wang Ming was obviously very excited, he shouted towards the well, I feel that his current state is not right. In the past, even if he met with this kind of thing, he shouldn't be able to display it so clearly.

I immediately pulled Wang Ming back, telling him to calm down before we continue talking.

After a few steps, I felt a very strange wind behind me. Because I couldn't feel the direction of the wind, it seemed to be coming from all directions with Wang Ming and I as the center. It was very warm, unlike the winter wind.

Wang Ming seemed to be woken up by the wind. He looked at his surroundings and pulled me along as he ran forward.

But my feet felt like lead, and it was hard to walk a single step. It was as if someone was pulling at my clothes from behind, pulling me further back so that I couldn't take a step forward.

Wang Ming's condition looked similar to mine, but both of them ran out in the middle of the night without anything on them.

I felt something brush against my neck. It was very cold. I turned around and saw nothing. Cold sweat flowed down my face to my neck.

Wang Ming shouted as he took off the bracelet on his hand and threw it behind him. My body immediately relaxed a lot as I ran forward a few steps, then Wang Ming ordered me to throw the pendant that he gave me behind.

I did as Wang Ming said, and then I quickly ran in the direction of Liu Xi's home. In the middle of it all, Wang Ming didn't even let me turn back, he said that turning back is certain death, as long as I can run, I won't stop.

After arriving at Liu Xi's house, we immediately rushed in. Wang Ming hurriedly turned on the lights and sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that you don't have these things?" "Why are you out now?" I pulled on Wang Ming's clothes and said fiercely, because I was really afraid of these things.

Wang Ming pushed me a little, laid down on the floor, and said that this thing did not come for the two of us, but for the snake. There must be a story between the two of them, the two families could not get along.

Perhaps the problem lay with these two ghosts, because snakes were intelligent. If one stayed here for a long time, then they would protect the people nearby. As long as the person posed no threat to them, it would be fine.

Liu Xi woke up in a daze and asked where the both of us had gone to.

Wang Ming did not even bother replying to him, instead, he ran into the house and took out 10,000 yuan, asking Liu Xi to buy two sets of diving equipment from the city overnight. If there was not enough, he would send it over to them.

After Liu Xi saw the money, he was extremely happy. He changed into a set of clothes and took the money with him as he ran.

Wang Ming sat on the chair and poured a cup of water, telling me that this matter is definitely dangerous, and that if I'm not willing to do it, I can go back first. After all, Jin Congwen had matters to attend to first, so he knew that there is a shadow in my heart.

I sat down and thought for a while. Ever since I started following Wang Ming, he had been very good to me, and gave me a lot of money. He could always think of a way to deal with danger, and this person should be very trustworthy.

After he explained his thoughts to Wang Ming, he did not say much and told me to sleep first. He wanted to wait for Liu Xi to come back.

Wang Ming fell asleep in the room that didn't have a bed. When I woke up, I found that Wang Ming was sleeping, so I let him return to the bed. I can just wait here by myself.

By noon, Wang Ming had woken up. Liu Xi had also returned, and a few other people had returned with oxygen bottles and various tools to dive into the water. Wang Ming nodded in satisfaction as he smiled at Liu Xi.

Wang Ming told those people to return the ten thousand yuan to Liu Xi. He used the money from his card to say that it was the money Wang Ming and I used to eat and sleep here.

After eating lunch, Wang Ming and I brought along our diving equipment to the well. There were many people spectating from all directions, and the sounds of discussion were not small as the people here basically had no idea what Wang Ming and I were here for. They all said that the two of us were courting death.

Wang Ming looked at his surroundings, he did not care about the looks of these people, the two of them put on their diving equipment and went down immediately.

After this descent we went upstream, for we judged that the water flowed down from the mountains, and that it was impossible to reach the mountains downstream.

After searching upstream for a while, we didn't find any other exits, so we looked towards the source of the water. The water came from underground, and there was a relatively large hole there, but the snake couldn't enter from here. It was only as thick as a person's thigh, so no one could enter.

Wang Ming watched for a while and indicated for me to go up first.

After the two of them came up, Wang Ming took out the money to buy a relatively thick iron rod from the nearby villagers.

By the time I realized it, I couldn't see him anymore.

After going down, Wang Ming continuously smashed his iron rod against the walls around him. If there was no water, he would be able to tell where it was empty, but since there was water, he didn't know where it was empty.

Just when we didn't know what to do, I suddenly felt that the water below me had become much stronger. The soil in front of me was washed away, and a huge snake head appeared in front of me.

Wang Ming wasn't any better off. Both of them were directly sent downstream.

Wang Ming seemed to have understood something and swam back. After he swam past, the snake was no longer there and Wang Ming placed his hand on the place where the snake was charging towards. He pressed forcefully and his hand miraculously disappeared from my sight.

As if he had seen my surprise, Wang Ming swam forward for a while before his body disappeared from my sight and he entered the ground.

I followed and found that all it took was strength to get in.

When I came in, everything was much clearer. There was a cave with a dim light inside, and when I shined my waterproof flashlight around me, I saw that it was all stone and nothing else.

Wang Ming took off his diving clothes, oxygen bottles and the like. He slowly walked in and was very careful.

After walking for about 5 minutes, he saw a road. It had no steps and was just a stone road. The slope was very shaky, about 40 degrees.

We climbed up slowly, and when we reached the top, we discovered that we were going downhill. What was going on? If we went up the mountain, there would definitely be an exit all the way up.

Wang Ming did not care about all these, he said that since he was already down, he would have to continue walking.

The money gave me a lot of motivation, so I continued to follow Wang Ming downwards. After walking to the end, my line of sight was completely flat, without any other paths.

Wang Ming said that the secret must be within this place. He wanted me to go and look for it.

I still couldn't figure it out. Since the secret was in here, what was the relation between the well and the water? Could it be that the ghost was in here, destroying the water source here?

The area here is very big, and the flashlight can't shine through all of the places we reach. So Wang Ming and I just walked slowly, trying our best to stay within their line of sight.

I had been walking along the wall, but when I arrived at a place I felt that the wall was very strange, this place was close to the well, it should be very moist, there were a lot of water droplets on the wall, but this place was very dry, as if there were people constantly moving it, and it wasn't very big, it was just a small piece.

I called Wang Ming over. The two of them looked at it carefully and decided to smash the bag with it to see if there was anything fishy about it.

He found a rock nearby and continued to smash at the wall. However, the inside of the wall didn't seem to be hollow. After smashing for a while, it didn't have any reaction. The sound it made was also very depressing as it seemed to be solid.

Wang Ming lost his confidence and threw the stone on the ground. He kicked the wall angrily and sat down.

I told Wang Ming to search around the vicinity. Perhaps he might have made other discoveries, Wang Ming sat on the ground without moving, said that he wanted to rest for a bit, and went to find a different place. This place is very big, it shouldn't be as simple as we thought.

When I returned, I found that Wang Ming was no longer there, and shouted loudly. Wang Ming replied from a pitch black place, saying that he had found something, and told me to go over there.

Following the voice, he arrived at Wang Ming's side. He discovered that the stones here were also dry, and had the same feeling as the walls on the other side.

I tried to move it, but neither of them was able to move it.

Wang Ming thought for a while and said that this stone definitely had something to do with the wall over there.

Feeling depressed, I sat on top of the rock and felt a little uncomfortable. I touched the rock and felt that there was a place that was different from the other places. It seemed to be able to move.

He quickly stood up and pressed down hard on the rock, then heard a rumbling sound, like thunder. Wang Ming looked around vigilantly, asking me what I had done, and before I could answer, Wang Ming had already walked towards the other side.

I followed him and found the dry walls moving. The interior was empty. I looked at the design in surprise and took a deep breath.

The two of them waited until the sound stopped before approaching that place. They discovered that the dry wall was a huge round stone with a diameter of about three to four meters.

Wang Ming climbed up and shined his flashlight inside, indicating that it was safe for the time being and that I should go up as well.

After I went up, Wang Ming jumped into the hole, and after a while, he let me down.

The moment I jumped down, the huge round rock actually slowly returned to its original position and blocked the exit. My hands just touched the rock and tried to stop it, but failed.

Wang Ming told me not to panic. If we can watch it automatically, there must be a way to open it, so we should go and see what kind of place this is!
