Chapter 436

The sensitivity to snakes comes from the experience of fighting in the jungle all year round. Most people don't hear the sound of snakes spitting apricots and crawling, and it's not easy to smell the smell of snakes.

Mrs. Larry was clearly unaware that she was in danger. She found petru looking at her and her eyes were not quite right, so she asked, "what's the matter?"

"Do you believe me, madam?" asked petru.

Mrs. Larry didn't know why he asked. Although her eyes were full of surprise, she replied with great certainty, "I believe you."

"Yes, ma'am, then please don't move. No matter what I do, you don't move!" petru stared at the snake, got up bit by bit and slowly approached Mrs. Larry.

He looked very strange, his eyes were straight, and his body seemed a little nervous. Mrs. Larry instinctively wanted to protect her body. Last night, she could accept or even encourage petru to do what she shouldn't do, but now she was a little afraid of him. However, she chose to believe petru and listened to him without moving.

The snake's head stopped less than ten centimeters from Mrs. Larry's face and hissed red apricots at petru.

Petru continued to move slowly, slowly approaching Mrs. Larry's body. His left hand stretched out slowly, his five fingers bent forward, looked like he wanted to grasp something, and his right hand held the dagger tightly.

When his body was about to touch Mrs. Larry, the snake moved, and petru quickly stretched out his left hand and grabbed seven inches of the snake in a moment. Then he turned back and pulled the whole snake out from behind Mrs. Larry. The dagger in his right hand cut off the snake's head.

Mrs. Larry screamed with horror when she saw the snake two meters long.

This frightened petru. He didn't expect that the fearless scientific strong woman who despised life and death would be afraid of snakes. He quickly threw away the snake in his hand and rushed up to cover Mrs. Larry's mouth.

"Don't, don't speak, madam!" said petru in her ear. "The snake is dead!"

Mrs. Larry calmed down, but her chest was still undulating violently.

Petru let go and prayed silently that the lady's scream had not been heard outside.

He asked somewhat puzzled, "madam, I don't quite understand. Shouldn't archaeologists like you often go into the damp and dark underground to deal with snakes and insects? Why are you afraid of snakes?"

"Women and snakes are natural enemies," said Mrs. Larry. "The Bible." The LORD God said to the snake, "since you have done this, you will be cursed more than all livestock and wild animals. You will walk with your stomach and eat the earth all your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman. Your seed and the woman's seed will also be enmity against each other. The woman's seed will hurt your head, and you will hurt his heel..."

"I didn't expect you to be a devout Christian!" petru laughed. "Oh, sorry, I don't have any disrespect. I'm just surprised that people who study science will believe... Er... Genesis?"

Mrs. Larry said: "science can also draw nutrition from theology, as long as it does not violate our pursuit of truth."

"Well, that sounds familiar!" petru thought of the priest.

The headless snake was still writhing on the ground. Mrs. Larry didn't turn her head, closed her eyes and didn't look at it: "please, get it away!"

"Madam, I'd like to help you, but the Lord doesn't seem to want to let you go. He's letting your enemies come in a steady stream," petru said.

"What?" Mrs. Larry was surprised. She opened her eyes and saw petru standing in front of her. The cat was waist and holding a dagger. There were several big snakes in front of him. They were raising their heads and making an attack.

Mrs. Larry is very sensitive to snakes. She shrinks back astringently. Then she feels that her shoulders are a little greasy. When she turns her head, a snake has climbed onto her shoulder, and the red apricot almost touches her face.

She let out a scream and grabbed her hands around her. Suddenly, with a flash of knife light, a dagger stabbed her and cut the snake on her shoulder to the ground.

Petru pulled Mrs. Larry into his arms and kept waving a dagger to stab some snakes or drive them away.

The dead snakes on the ground seemed to shake their kind. Some snakes stopped far away from petru and Mrs. Larry and hissed apricots as if they were testing.

More and more snakes climbed out of the stones, and the hissing sound became louder and louder.

Looking at the dense snakes surrounding them, petru felt his scalp numb, and the dagger in his hand had lost its use. He couldn't help but miss his gun and grenade. If all his equipment was there, why did he fear these snakes?

"He fell into the snake's nest!" he almost scolded.

Mrs. Larry's body kept shaking. Petru had to hold her tightly and comfort her: "madam, it's all right. You just said that it's a big deal to let this place be our burial place. It's better to be eaten by snakes than by savages as barbecue! These snakes are poisonous. If we bite a few times, we will die painlessly like being drugged."

Mrs. Larry seemed a little better at what he said. Although her body was still shaking, her spirit had calmed down. She leaned on petru's shoulder and suddenly exclaimed, "there! That road seems to have no snakes!"

Petru looked back, and sure enough, there was no snake on the ground between the rocks, as if someone had sprinkled sulfur on it.

"Let's go!" he held Mrs. Larry and drew back with a knife.

The surrounding snakes surged up like a tide and followed them all the time.

They slowly retreated to the edge of the steps along the place where there were no snakes. As long as they went up, they would be above the altar.

The steps were also densely covered with snakes, leaving only a very narrow passage. Petru looked up and didn't see the savage.

"I'll carry you up," he said, squatting down, knowing that Mrs. Larry was not in good health.

Mrs. Larry said, "no, I can go by myself. You concentrate on dealing with snakes."

Petru nodded and helped his wife up.

Mrs. Larry didn't dare to look at the snakes on the ground. She just looked down at the road under her feet and murmured, "there's no grass in this place. What do these snakes eat and grow up?"

"What are you talking about?" a flash of light flashed in petru's mind, as if he had been hit by lightning.

"I said that the environment here could not support so many snakes at all. Unless the snakes of the whole island were gathered here, where did they come from?"

"I see!" petru's heart pounded. "It's a dream!"

As soon as his voice fell, he felt a whirl of heaven and earth. He thought the dream was about to collapse, but the dream was tenaciously supported there and would never collapse.

He couldn't get out of his dream. It was like a nightmare. His heart and body were suffering to death.

Seeing his ugly face, Mrs. Larry asked with concern, "what's the matter with you?"

Petru said with difficulty, "madam, we are saved. I'm sure this is their forbidden place. As long as we stay here and don't go up, they can't do anything to us. These snakes are fake. They are the illusion of the old wizard who hypnotized us. We are all in a dream. He just wants us to go up by ourselves. Now... Let's go back to... Below..."

He looked so sick that he couldn't even walk steadily.

Mrs. Larry had to hold him back and asked, "are you sure we're going back down?"

"Sure, ma'am!" said petru. "You have to believe me!"

Mrs. Larry stopped talking. Regardless of her weakness and pain, she helped petru down the steps step by step and back to the rubble.

The snake in front blocked her way and kept threatening her with triangular snake heads and scarlet apricots. She raised her foot, hesitated, and then stepped down.

Bang, the air fluctuated, and petru and Mrs. Larry thundered in their heads at the same time.

All the snakes were gone, and everything changed back to its original appearance.

They looked up and saw that the top of the altar was surrounded by savages, and their patriarch was holding a scepter against them.

A crow croaked and flew over the sky.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a super full moon slowly rose from the sky.
