femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 30
Didn't she dare?
Ning Mianmian laughed dryly and changed the subject, "Sister, let's hurry up and find the snake."
While speaking, the two had already approached the lakeside.
Lin Cen raised his eyes and looked into the lake, his thin lips parted slightly, "Over there."
Ning Mianmian followed suit and saw a stone pavilion in the middle of the lake, painted with dark red paint on the outside, with antique carvings on the top.
There is a black shadow in the center of the pavilion, and it can be seen faintly as a black snake, with a strong body, the snake body is entrenched on the ground, and the high snake head is half the height of a person.However, following others to capture so many animals, Ning Mianmian already had experience and knew that this snake could be locked up by the rope Jize sent.
Not far away is a long and narrow stone bridge, about tens of meters long, leading from the lake to the pavilion.There are no guardrails on both sides of the stone bridge. Perhaps the foundation has collapsed after a long period of disrepair, and the water surface can barely overflow the bridge body.Across the clear lake, you can see the black patterns on the stone bridge.
Lin Cen said: "You wait for me by the lake, I will be back in a while."
Ning Mianmian really doesn't want to go on the bridge, the stone bridge in front of her looks smooth, and she always feels that if she is not careful, she will fall down.But she wanted to hang out with Lin Cen for a long time, and she didn't want the other party to underestimate her, so she volunteered, "Sister, I'll go with you."
Lin Cen had already set foot on the stone bridge, she held the sickle in her hand, and looked back at her: "Then don't regret it."
Ning Mianmian said, "I don't regret it."
She gritted her teeth and followed onto the bridge.The touch under her feet was hard and smooth. She carefully held her balance and walked forward slowly.
Lin Cen seemed to be accommodating her speed, and he didn't walk too fast.The two arrived at the stone pavilion smoothly, and the black snake in the pavilion was close at hand.
After getting closer, Ning Mianmian realized that although the snake looked creepy, it didn't show any aggressiveness.She tilted her head like an innocent girl.
Thinking of the sign that said "Danger! Do not enter!", Ning Mianmian suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The black snake in front of him is so docile, so what exactly is "danger"?
While she was thinking, Lin Cen had already thrown out the rope neatly and restrained the black snake.She stuffed the other end of the rope into Ning Mianmian's hand, "Hold it, and keep it for me for a while."
Although she didn't know why Lin Cen handed the black snake to her, since the big boss gave her orders, Ning Mianmian obediently held on to the rope, "Don't worry, sister, I will live and die with it."
After Lin Cen finished all this, he didn't immediately set foot on the stone bridge to leave, but asked Ning Mianmian a question: "Are you ready?"
Ning Mianmian was taken aback, "Huh? What are you preparing for..."
Before she finished speaking, she knew the answer to the question in advance.
At her feet, in the lake below the stone pavilion, a pair of huge red eyes suddenly opened, which were extremely glaring in the dark night.
Then the stone bridge they walked along the road just now slowly moved.
Ning Mianmian almost screamed, it turned out that this was not a bridge at all, but a giant python.What's even more frightening is that they came here just now by stepping on this giant python. As for the mottled marks on the surface of the "Stone Bridge", they are the patterns on the giant python's body.
The giant python looked at the black snake in Ning Mianmian's hand, opened its bloody mouth, and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Could this be stealing someone's daughter-in-law?
If it wasn't for Lin Cen's mission item, Ning Mianmian would have cried and returned the black snake to it.
At this time, Lin Cen's voice rang in his ears: "Hold me."
Immediately afterwards, she directly hugged Ning Mianmian horizontally.
Ning Mianmian quickly hugged Lin Cen's neck tightly, and with the other hand, she did not forget to firmly hold the rope that bound the black snake.This disposable rope worth 50 points is really easy to use. It is obviously a snake bigger than her. Holding it in your hand is like pulling a balloon, and it is completely weightless.
Lin Cen was quite calm, tapped his toes on the ground, and led her directly onto the snake's head, and then quickly ran towards the shore along the snake's body. The black ribbon on his wrist suddenly widened and stretched dozens of times, and wrapped around the lake. The branch of the tree closest to them.
Taking advantage of the momentum of her run-up, she jumped forward, and a second before the huge snake tail swept over, the two of them rose into the air and swung towards the shore.She kept adjusting the length of the ribbon in the air, and within a few seconds, the two of them landed safely.
Stepping on the ground again, Ning Mianmian was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, but the matter was not over yet, because the giant python followed and half of her body had already climbed onto the shore.
Lin Cen's eyes froze, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
With a flash of her figure, she lightly stepped onto the body of the snake.Her speed was so fast that Ning Mianmian couldn't see her movements clearly, only a few silver lights flashed, and the giant python screamed in pain and fell down.
Strands of red blood oozed from the seven-inch wound, and large swathes of lake water were stained red.
The entire battle lasted no more than a minute. Lin Cen swung the sickle vigorously, and the blood stained on the blade rolled into the soil.She put away the sickle, glanced at the shocked Ning Mianmian, "Let's go, go back."
Ning Mianmian nodded subconsciously, and then looked at the small black snake tied up beside her.Originally, she thought it was quite scary, but compared with the giant python, the little black snake looked very petite.And Ning Mianmian was surprised to find that the little black snake seemed to be in a good mood, blinked, and rubbed her head affectionately on her toes.
It seems that she is not a daughter-in-law, but a civilian girl who was robbed by force.
Seeing its cuteness, Ning Mianmian couldn't help but reach out and stroke the little snake's head.
The two quickly returned to the entrance of the forbidden area, and Jize stayed there with a group of people. Seeing the two coming back, he hurriedly got up and said hello: "Are you all right? Are you injured?"
Ning Mianmian shook her head and showed him the black snake she had caught.
"It's so small." Jize heaved a sigh of relief, "I thought it would be a scary ghost when it said it was forbidden to enter."
Mengmeng came to Ning Mianmian's side with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "My wife Lin Cen, I didn't mean not to help you guys, but at my level, if I go there, I'm going to die, so it's better not to hold back."
Ning Mianmian's knee hurt when she heard it, but she still smiled like a master on the surface, "It's okay, this is a small scene, and I can handle it by myself."
If they were to face the giant python just now, she and Mengmeng would have to die one by one, or die by two.However, she feels that spiritual companionship is also very important, and she hopes that Lin Cen can appreciate her good intentions and stop despising her all the time.
Mengmeng had long forgotten about her climbing over the wall, with a look of admiration: "That's good, you can explain to Xiaomei too. I don't dare to strike up a conversation with the boss, you two are very familiar, help me convey Bar."
Ning Mianmian: "...OK."
Lin Cen didn't mention anything about the python, as if it was just an insignificant episode.She asked everyone to gather and walked towards the road with lanterns when they came, planning to hand in the task first.
It is already past five o'clock in the morning. According to past experience, the sky will light up at six o'clock.Day is always lighter than night.
And before dawn, the ghosts that refreshed at night disappeared. If you go back too late and fail to hand in the task, you don't know what the consequences will be.
Along the way, the weather was calm, and everyone's tense hearts gradually relaxed. Some people were even chatting and laughing, discussing what to eat for breakfast after dawn for a while.
Ning Mianmian opened the game panel to check, and the remaining number became 125.Perhaps because everyone was generally prepared tonight, the death toll was not as high as the first night.
The road was still the same as it was when it came, both sides were hidden in the black poisonous mist, and the NPCs stood silently under the trees, quietly waiting for the arrival of everyone.
The handover of the task was also very smooth. The NPCs carefully took over the animals they wanted, and then everyone got a [peppermint].
Jize was the last one to get the candy. The moment he took the candy, all the lanterns and NPCs disappeared without a trace.
He looked around and found nothing unusual, so he greeted everyone in a loud voice: "Everyone, pay attention, it will be dawn soon. This place is too close to the poisonous fog, let's go back to the zoo to gather, rest during the day and recover our strength, and then make plans for the next step. "
The dawn was just around the corner, and everyone was immediately refreshed, and they were about to go back the same way.
At this time, a cold female voice sounded: "Wait."
Ji Ze turned his head and saw Lin Cen standing there without moving, showing no intention of leaving.
"What's the matter with you?" he asked.
Lin Cen said, "Open the map and have a look."
Startled, Jize clicked on the game panel, and the others followed suit.
After seeing the map clearly, everyone's expressions changed instantly.
"Isn't it? Am I dazzled?"
"how so!"
"Obviously it was still a safe zone just now..."
Ning Mianmian looked at the area on the map that belonged to the zoo in astonishment. Just a few minutes ago, this area was a peaceful and safe area, but at this moment, it was completely covered by a poison circle.
She swipe the map with her fingers, trying to find a safe open space, only to find that the nearest safe area is half an hour away.
Besides, except for the section of road under their feet, other places are also filled with poisonous fog. If they want to reach the safe zone, they must pass through the poisonous circle.
Thinking of the mission reward just now, Ning Mianmian was in a cold sweat.Fortunately, Lin Cen helped her complete the task, otherwise without this [peppermint], her life would be here.
Ji Ze said in a deep voice, "Everyone, calm down and don't panic."
He moved his fingers on the map a few times, estimating the distance, "Everyone has [peppermints] for detoxification in their hands. After a while, everyone will take the candy together and rush into the safe zone as quickly as possible."
Someone worried: "President Ji, it will take a long time to travel such a long distance. I don't know how long these candies will last. In case you encounter ghosts along the way..."
Ji Yunze's expression was solemn: "We will set off again at dawn."
He paused and explained: "According to yesterday's rule, it will be dawn at six o'clock in the morning. After dawn, the ghosts that appear at night will disappear, the scope of the poison circle will also shrink, and the distance between us and the safe zone will probably be shortened." When the time comes, we will fight hard and strive for everyone to rush into the safe zone in time."
Hearing this, everyone's expression became a little more relaxed, and they held candy in their hands, planning to swallow the candy quickly and run for their lives if the poisonous fog on both sides of the road spreads over.
Ning Mianmian glanced at the time, it was five minutes to six.The time for them to enter the copy is about to reach 5 hours.
In just 5 minutes, it seemed like a century, and finally the time jumped to 6:00.
Pairs of hopeful eyes turned towards the horizon, but quickly dimmed, turning into a kind of despair.
There is only thick night in the field of vision.
It did not light up again.
The wind blowing from nowhere filled the clothes, and there were bursts of intermittent sharp laughter in the wind.
From far to near.
Ning Mianmian laughed dryly and changed the subject, "Sister, let's hurry up and find the snake."
While speaking, the two had already approached the lakeside.
Lin Cen raised his eyes and looked into the lake, his thin lips parted slightly, "Over there."
