At this time, Qian Hongwen finally reacted and shouted loudly, "Is someone trying to ambush Cloud General? Then how about us? Isn't this a trap for all of us?"

  Du Ming glared at Qian Hongwen, "You've only just realized? And those people want to secretly attack Yun Zongtong, do they still care about the life and death of a small pawn like you?"

  Qian Hongwen was left speechless by Du Ming's words and could only sit blankly on the spot, staring at the flames in a daze.

  Du Ming looked up at the sun's position in the sky, identified the direction and said, "It's already autumn now, and judging from the situation, there won't be any rescue teams coming before tonight. Follow me, I'll take you to find a place to stay for tonight."

  "Accommodations?" Yun Cai said in confusion, "Can't we just stay here?"

  Du Ming shook his head, "You don't have any wilderness survival experience. At night, you need to find a place with wind protection to settle down. Moreover, now that it's autumn, the nighttime temperature will be very low. We still need to think of ways to keep warm."

  Yun Cai nodded, "Everything will be up to you, we can only survive here by relying on you."

  Du Ming smiled and stood up. "Come on, let's go. We need to find shelter. There should be mountains deep in the island, we have to get through this forest."

  The four of them all stood up and followed Du Ming into the woods with a sense of unease.

  Du Ming walked while leaving marks on the trees to prevent getting lost later.

  The forest is now very quiet, with only a few people's rustling footsteps and coarse, heavy breathing sounds.

  Suddenly, Qian Hongwen said, "I, I seem to have heard some animal sounds nearby!"

  Du Ming said calmly, "It's normal for there to be wild beasts in this kind of forest. Judging from the sound, it should be a wolf."

  Zhao Tianxue was stunned when he heard Du Ming's words, "There are wild beasts! Let's run quickly! Are you still daring to walk into the woods?!"

  "Believe me, I can handle wolves too," said Du Ming. "Follow me and you'll be fine."

  Du Ming led the other four people through half of the forest, slightly stopping their footsteps, looking up at the distant scenery in front of them, pointing to the distant mountains and saying to the four people, "There is a low mountain over there. We will go to the foot of that mountain. There must be a place to avoid the wind. Let's set up camp there and stay there for tonight."

  Yun Cai and Bai Mei were already panting heavily, gasping for air as they rushed to Du Ming and said, "Du Ming, take a rest! We're going to die from exhaustion!"

  Du Ming walked a long way with big strides, but didn't show any signs of fatigue. He turned around and looked at the few people behind him, only to find that not only the two women, but also the two men were exhausted. He said helplessly, "Alright, I didn't notice your physical condition, sit down and rest for a while."

  The four of them quickly sat down on the stone on the ground, Du Ming also sat down and said, "Let's take a break before we continue, I'll carry you two beauties," with a slightly lewd smile.

  "But there are two of us, you can't carry both of us at the same time."

  Du Ming smiled and said, "Take turns reciting it, switch every ten minutes."

  Zhao Tianxue interrupted, "Hey, I think both beauties have good figures and won't sink, let me carry one."

  "Alright," Du Ming said with a dismissive curl of his lip, "you can't even keep up with my speed when you're not carrying anyone on your back, let alone someone else. You two just take care of yourselves."

  Zhao Tianxue was scolded by him and could only sit there with his head down.

  Suddenly Yun Cai let out a loud cry, "Ah! There's, there's a snake!"

  Yun Cai's sudden shout made the other four people stunned, and they quickly raised their heads to look at her. Yun Cai trembled with her finger pointing behind Bai Mei's body.

  The white rose subconsciously turned her head and saw a spotted snake with a diameter of nearly a forearm coiled on the tree behind her.

  The snake's body was coiled around the branch, its head hanging down and stretching out in front of the white rose. The greenish-yellow snake head drew very close, and the two bright green eyes were directly opposite the white rose.

  "Ah!" Bai Mei exclaimed, about to get up, but Du Ming suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down gently. "Don't make a sound, don't move. The snake's eyesight is poor, it can only notice moving objects. If you don't make a sound or move, it can only sense your temperature, and that will take a long time."

  The white rose sat down again in terror, and the snake moved its body slightly, hissing and sticking out its tongue.

  Several others could not help but stand up and wanted to run, Du Ming said seriously to them, "You don't move either, if you make a sudden movement, you might scare the snake."

  Du Ming slowly got up and walked to the periphery, wanting to go around to the side of that snake.

  Du Ming's road was surprisingly quiet, without a sound, and the snake only twisted its body, without much movement.

  The snake suddenly moved violently and raised its head.

  Zhao Tianxue, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't bear it anymore. The snake suddenly moved violently and let out a loud scream.

  The snake seemed to have heard the sound and suddenly swung its head over, its small eyes staring at Zhao Tianxue.

  Zhao Tianxue couldn't take it anymore, ah-ah loudly shouting as he jumped up and desperately tried to run away.

  Zhao Tianxue's speed was far from being as fast as the snake, and just as he stood up to run, the snake quickly stretched out its body and swooped towards Zhao Tianxue.

  Yun Cai and Bai Mei also cried out in surprise, Du Ming suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the snake's body, fiercely pulling it backwards.

  The snake's movement in mid-air was halted, and it fell to the ground with a thud, quickly turning its body over.

  Du Mingchong waved his hand at several others, "You guys get out of here first!"

  The three people who had been standing still with their teeth clenched in fear finally got relief, and hastily stood up and ran in another direction.

  The snake sensed these people and quickly slithered across the ground, about to chase after them.

  Du Ming stretched out his foot and took a step forward, blocking the snake's path.

  The snake also noticed Du Ming, and with a flick of its body, it coiled around Du Ming's thigh, spiraling up his body, hissing and spitting open its mouth.

  The cloud and white rose who had already run away saw Du Ming being entwined by the snake, they shrieked in alarm, worried about Du Ming. Although their hearts were filled with fear, they anxiously ran back and forth wanting to save him.

  Du Ming's lower body was entwined by the snake, but his expression was calm and serene. He waved his hand at the two women, "Don't worry, it's fine!"

  At this moment, the snake grew its mouth and exposed its sharp fangs, and fiercely bit down on Du Ming's neck!
