The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Xu Yiyu opened the tent door a little, just in time to see Tianlin's figure rushing out of the camp. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the windy mountains.

Apart from the almost non-stop sound of the wind, no other sound was heard in the camp.

She knew what Tianlin was going to do. If the situation was similar to the last time he encountered the wolves, he would be back soon.

Xu Yiyu stuck his head out and took a quick look at other people's tents in the camp. Seeing that no one had opened the tent door, he felt a little relieved.

It is not a wise choice to open your tent at this time. In addition to the risk of being attacked by wild animals, the violent wind may also overturn the tent roof that has been set up with great difficulty.

Without caring about his messy hair caused by the strong wind, Xu Yiyu returned to the tent as fast as he could and zipped it tightly again.

"Did you hear that just now?"

"heard it."

There are many wild animals in the Al Mountains, and there must be more than one wolf pack. The fact that we did not encounter any wild animal groups in the previous two days was mostly thanks to Tianlin, who cleared the way for everyone in advance and prevented the treasure hunting team from being in danger.

Now that they have moved deeper into the mountains, it is normal to see traces of wild animals again.

The howling of wolves in the distance continued for a while. During this time, Xu Yiyu also heard several responses that seemed to come from different directions. Although he could not understand what they were communicating, he came to another conclusion.

——The wolves in this pack do not seem to be gathering together now, but are scattered in different locations in the mountains. It is unknown whether they are looking for food or have lost contact with the pack.

Thinking of the wolf that she had seen on a short video platform, she was a little nervous and suddenly she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth that began to rise inexplicably.

For some reason, Xu Yiyu suddenly remembered the wolf pack he had encountered before, and the leader wolf with blue eyes and aura.

It's true that he's very handsome, and it's also true that he's very dangerous.

Xu Yiyu didn't want Tianlin to confront such spiritual animals head-on unless necessary. After all, it had spared her once, and she didn't want to repay kindness with hatred.

The wolf howls continued for a while before stopping. Xu Yiyu patiently sat in the tent and listened for a while, but he did not hear any more wolf howls in response to it from other directions.

Xu Yiyu's heart finally settled back into his chest and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Cheng noticed Xu Yiyu's fearful look and didn't say much. He just straightened the hair of this cousin that was blown out of shape by the wind and patted the back of her hand gently.

"Orange, I'm actually still a little worried."

Xu Yiyu frowned slightly. Although he was sure that he was safe for the time being, he still didn't relax much.

"How to say?"

"When I checked the situation just now, I took a look at our tent and the perimeter of the camp, and found that there was not much realgar powder left that Tianlin had spread before. It should have been blown away by the strong wind tonight."

After rubbing his right eyelid which had twitched a few times, Xu Yiyu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Under unfavorable weather conditions, it is very easy for difficulties and obstacles to be created by people with ulterior motives.

In the deep mountains where it is difficult to communicate with the outside world, there is no guarantee that the other party will become more daring.

Although there were people sent by the M organization and the Gallo family to help solve the problem, some of the problems required the help of favorable timing and location, and they could not be easily solved by manpower alone.

As if to confirm Xu Yiyu's premonition, she, with her sensitive hearing, caught many discordant sounds in the noisy wind outside the tent.

——It sounded like the limbs of a reptile crawling across the ground, mixed with a few hissing sounds like a plastic bag being torn.

Xu Yiyu's heart was filled with alarm and he immediately typed a few words in the memo, and then quickly showed it to Xu Cheng who was standing beside him.

[There are snakes, lots of them, more than just a few.]

Having dealt with many snakes that wanted to attack suddenly along the way, Xu Yiyu is now familiar with the movements made by various snakes, and can even judge the species with an accuracy rate of 70% to 80%.

Xu Cheng didn't say anything, but just typed a few words in the memo and then showed it to Xu Yiyu.

[Do we need to call everyone to action? Are there any effective countermeasures? ]

Xu Yiyu thought for a long time, shook his head at Xu Cheng with a serious expression, and typed another line of words on his mobile phone.

[Not yet. Tell those who are still awake in the group to try not to make any noise, stay where you are, and don’t turn on the lights.]

As more and more hissing sounds came into his ears, Xu Yiyu's brows became more and more furrowed.

Thinking of Tianlin who had just been led away by the wolf's howl a moment ago, Xu Yiyu suddenly understood something.

——This is clearly a move to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Although realgar has a certain effect in repelling snakes, that is only when there is a sufficient amount. Under the strong winds tonight, a lot of the powder has been blown away, and the remaining amount cannot play a significant role in repelling snakes. At most, it can only slow down their pace.

And judging by the sounds, there are conservatively estimated to be at least several hundred snakes outside.

The tent door must not be opened. There should be no place to step in the camp now. Since we don't know whether these snakes are poisonous, the most effective life-saving measure is to stay quiet and not attract their attention.

Xu Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then typed a line of words on the screen for Xu Yiyu to see.

[You just asked everyone not to turn on the lights or make any noises. Is it because snakes are nocturnal animals and are attracted to light? ]

[Yes, as far as I know, they are very sensitive to changes in temperature and brightness. Although their hearing is very poor, it is better not to attract their attention easily.]

Xu Yiyu and Xu Cheng had been communicating in this typing way, but they had not come up with an effective way to drive away the snakes.

Xu Cheng suggested the method of fire attack. Xu Yiyu considered that although the tents they brought this time were waterproof and fireproof, the high temperature caused by the flames would still burn human skin. After much deliberation, he rejected this suggestion.

If a fire roasted a snake, it might also roast his teammates. Xu Yiyu certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

This was the first time that Xu had fallen into such a passive situation since entering the mountain. It seemed that the other party had set a trap for her a long time ago.

However, although it is a disadvantageous situation for their side, it may not be an advantageous situation for the other side.

Snakes are naturally cold-blooded animals and are extremely difficult to tame artificially, let alone such a large number of snakes, which are almost impossible to tame to the level of pet cats and dogs.

If the person who released the snakes had any brains, he should have understood that although the treasure hunting team would be put in a passive situation because of the snakes, if they stepped into such a large group of snakes, even if they just made a slightly louder noise, they would most likely be besieged by countless snakes.

Xu Yiyu didn't know how the other party could come up with such a self-defeating method, turning the camp into an alternative snake den. It seemed that apart from making the people in the tents stay where they are and unable to leave the tents, it could not cause any other effective harm.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyu was no longer nervous, his brows relaxed a little, and he showed the line of words on the screen of his mobile phone to his cousin Xu Cheng beside him.

[Release of the snake is a double-edged sword, so we should wait and see what tricks the other party can come up with.]

After Xu Cheng saw this line of words, he raised the corner of his mouth and nodded silently at Xu Yiyu.

The two of them just lay quietly in the tent waiting, listening to the hissing sounds coming from outside, and their nervous emotions slowly subsided.

They lay in the tent for nearly ten minutes, and Xu Yiyu and Xu Cheng were almost getting sleepy, but there was no sign of the other party taking the next step.

[My dear, why don't we take a nap first? The tricks those people came up with are really useless. I am getting tired of waiting. ]

[Who said it wasn't? My upper and lower eyelids are almost glued together, and I can't even see half of the person. ]

The two ladies surnamed Xu communicated silently through typing until Xu Yiyu yawned and forced out physiological tears. There was no sound outside the tent except the sound of the wind.

I don’t know if the person who released the snake feels embarrassed now, but Xu Yiyu feels quite embarrassed for him.
