Chapter 414: Viper Hill
Chapter 414: Viper Hill
Here, Jiang Ning led everyone around the logging site and headed northwest.
Before coming, Jiang Ning had inquired in advance and found out that there was a place called Viper Hill, just northwest of the logging site.
According to the description of Red Scorpion in the previous life, the group of imprisoned lumberjacks should have headed northwest and reached Viper Hill, where they discovered the gold mine.
Jiang Ning used the radar and map to lead everyone towards Viper Hill.
It was already night, and fortunately the group was protected by medicine, so they were not attacked by any wild beasts or poisonous snakes along the way.
However, the drug has a time limit. It's not like just applying a little bit of it will keep poisonous snakes and beasts away for ten thousand years.
So, everyone applied medicine on their bodies as they walked along the way.
This is also an issue that Jiang Ning needs to consider.
If we want to occupy this place in the future, we must drive away these poisonous snakes completely.
If we only rely on the medicine prepared by Red Scorpion, we will need to spray the medicine around continuously, and we will need a professional team to carry out daily medicine maintenance.
That is also a considerable expense.
Of course, this expenditure is nothing compared to the gold mine.
Therefore, the worst solution is to hire special personnel to spray pesticides every day.
Jiang Ning looked up at the sky. It was too early to think about these things now. First of all, the gold mine had not been found yet. Even if it was found, how to claim it for himself would still be a big problem.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and hurried on his way.
At around three o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived near the Viper Hill.
"Going further ahead is the poisonous snake hill, where we will encounter many giant pythons and poisonous snakes." A Zu said, "Even if we have medicine on us, we will see poisonous snakes all over the mountain."
She heard from an old hunter who was lucky enough to describe the situation here, which was simply hell on earth.
A-Zu said this to remind everyone to be vigilant and not to underestimate the Viper Post just because there are medicines.
Because she vaguely felt that Jiang Ning did not come here to collect herbs, but was very interested in the Viper Hill.
Of course, she was just guessing based on her sixth sense.
Jiang Ning said, "The herbs I want to collect are in the Viper Hill."
"But it's too dangerous inside the Viper Hill," said A-Zu.
Jiang Ning smiled but didn't respond. He changed the subject and said, "It's already early morning. Let's take a rest first and make plans tomorrow."
A few people lit a bonfire, ate some noodles and dried meat, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when everyone woke up, they saw Jiang Ning already sitting beside the ashes of the fire, thinking about something.
"Boss, when did you wake up?" Leng Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"I didn't sleep last night!" Jiang Ning said.
"what?"
Leng Yu asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you worried?"
"No!" Jiang Ning said, "Just pure excitement!"
In fact, Jiang Ning wanted to save medicine.
In order to avoid being attacked by wild animals and poisonous snakes at night, people would sprinkle a large amount of medicinal powder around their sleeping area.
Although the medicine powder he brought with him was sufficient, Jiang Ning had to prepare for a rainy day because he did not know the specific situation in Viper Hill and could not use the medicine indiscriminately.
Even an experienced hunter like A-Zu would shudder at the mention of them, which shows that those pythons are definitely not good creatures.
If the python is more resistant to snake repellent, more medicine will be needed, and it will be troublesome if it is not enough.
So, Jiang Ning asked them to go to bed last night, saying that he would sprinkle medicine powder around before going to bed. In fact, he did not sprinkle a drop of medicine powder. He relied on the bonfire all night to scare away the wild beasts.
At this time, Xiaodao and A'zu also woke up, tidied themselves up simply and walked forward.
"Eat something first!" Jiang Ning said.
After a quick wash and some biscuits, everyone prepared to continue on their journey.
Jiang Ning looked at everyone and said, "You three stay here to meet them. I will go alone."
"what?"
The three of them were fully prepared, but they didn't expect Jiang Ning to say this.
"Mr. Jiang, why do we have to meet here?" Xiaodao asked.
Leng Yu shook her head helplessly: "Xiao Dao, do you even need to ask this? Mr. Jiang is afraid that we might be in danger, so he plans to go alone!"
Jiang Ning wanted to go by himself last night, but he thought that he would not be able to do so without telling them. Besides, poisonous snakes are active at night, and it is much more difficult to go to the snake post at this time than usual.
That's why he waited until dawn.
According to the current route, we should arrive at Viper Point around 11 o'clock.
It was just the time for the python to rest.
That's why Jiang Ning chose this time to set off.
"Boss Jiang, wherever you go, I will go!" Xiao Dao said, "I am here to protect you. Even if we have to go through fire and water, I will be the first to go!"
Leng Yu said, "Boss, Xiao Dao and I came out with you on a mission to protect you. There is no way we can hide aside when there is danger. We will go to the Viper Post with you."
Jiang Ning frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You know, there are many uncertainties in this trip!"
Leng Yu said: "Boss, Xiao Dao and I have the same idea. Even if there is danger, we have to go first. You must not be in any trouble. The brothers are waiting for you to come back. Jianghai Financial Group cannot be without you at the helm!"
Jiang Ning chuckled: "Don't make it sound so serious. It makes me feel like I'm going to die."
Leng Yu also smiled awkwardly: "However, Xiao Dao and I must go with you."
Jiang Ning sighed and said, "Okay, then A-Zu will stay here to support us!"
"I'll go too!" A Zu said firmly, "I'm more familiar with the mountains here. With me here, the safety factor will be higher."
Because everyone knows that there is no need for anyone to support here. Jiang Ning is simply using the excuse to take the risk himself and doesn't want others to take the risk with him.
But Jiang Ning's considerate character just inspired everyone's trust in him.
After the four of them made simple preparations, they headed to Viper Hill together.
After a morning, everyone arrived at the Viper Hill.
Although it is noon, I can still hear rustling sounds ahead, as if there are some small snakes lurking under the leaves.
Jiang Ning took out the medicine bottle and began to distribute the medicine to everyone.
Everyone applied medicine, took care of each other, and headed towards the Viper Hill.
"Boss, where are the herbs you want to pick?" Leng Yu asked.
"In a cave!" Jiang Ning said.
According to Red Scorpion's description of the address of the gold mine in his previous life, Jiang Ning marked it on the map based on his memory, and then, following the guidance of the radar, headed towards the mark.
The medicine prepared by the Red Scorpion was indeed very effective. When the poisonous snakes saw people along the way, they all retreated away.
However, everyone was still shocked by the scene before them.
They had never seen so many poisonous snakes.
Although Leng Yu and A Zu were both hunters, and Xiao Dao was a jungle scout, they had never seen such a large group of snakes.
They walked through the dense forest, with snakes of all sizes swam rapidly to both sides.
There are big snakes that are several meters long, small snakes the size of a palm, black pythons, and colorful venomous snakes.
It is hard to imagine how these mixed species of snakes could gather together.
However, right now these snakes are very afraid of the smell on Jiang Ning and others, and they want to avoid them as much as possible. No matter what kind of snake it is, no one dares to get close.
The group moved forward without encountering any obstacles.
The next second, Jiang Ning saw what seemed to be a dark hole under the mountain wall in the distance.
"Are we there?" Jiang Ning was delighted.
However, at this moment, A-Zu screamed, "Be careful!"
A huge python about six or seven meters long and completely green flew down from the tree and slammed towards Jiang Ning and the others.
