Chapter 55: Life is too insignificant in the face of nature
[You smell so good.]
The king cobra's head moved close to Jiang Shiyan's neck and sniffed her body carefully.
Jiang Shiyan was about to cry, her voice trembling: "We agreed that you can't bite me..."
The king cobra tilted its head and looked at Jiang Shiyan.
[I didn't bite you?]
"Then, can you stay away from me? I'm scared."
The king cobra retreated, hissing and complaining: [You humans are so timid.]
"..."
Who wouldn’t be scared when seeing such a huge king cobra so close to her? She was lucky enough not to faint from fright!
Suddenly--
"Boom" a loud noise!
The next second, raindrops as big as beans fell on my face, and in an instant, heavy rain came pouring down.
The king cobra quickly crawled into a mountain trough covered by dense trees, and a muffled voice came from inside: [You should leave quickly, it is raining heavily.]
Jiang Shiyan felt as if she had been pardoned. She originally wanted to throw the gloves here directly, but then she changed her mind and thought that the gloves had touched the snake gallbladder on the mountain, and her and the firefighter's breath were left on them. She was safe, but what if the snake wanted to take revenge on the firefighter?
It would be safer to take it back and burn it.
Jiang Shiyan ran back along the same route, and suddenly saw a bolt of lightning striking down, landing not far from her!
"what!"
Jiang Shiyan screamed in fright.
[Run, run!]
[Why is there someone here? Run! The tree is about to fall——]
Jiang Shiyan reflexively started running, and suddenly there was a "bang" behind her. Looking back, she saw a tree fallen where she had stopped before!
Jiang Shiyan was running wildly in the pouring rain. Her feet slipped and she almost rolled down the mountain. Fortunately, she sat down and steady herself in time, but she sprained her foot. She gasped in pain and it took her a long time to recover.
"Jiang Shiyan! Jiang Shiyan!"
"Jiang Shiyan!"
Someone called her name in the heavy rain. Jiang Shiyan squinted her eyes and looked forward. Two dazzling orange-red lights entered her sight.
Jiang Shiyan endured the pain and shouted to the front: "I'm here!!!"
As if they heard her voice, two firefighters quickly ran towards her.
this moment!
Jiang Shiyan's heart couldn't help but start beating wildly. The excitement and excitement in her heart were completely indescribable. Even the two figures running towards her seemed to become taller!
The firefighter wiped the rain off his face and shouted at the top of his voice: "Are you okay? Were you bitten by a snake?"
"No!" Jiang Shiyan also responded loudly, "But I sprained my ankle."
"I'll carry it!" One of the firefighters quickly squatted down.
Another firefighter helped get her onto her colleague's back.
At this moment, Jiang Shiyan once again heard the voices of the little animals who were busy hiding from the rain.
[The mountain is collapsing! Run!]
Jiang Shiyan saw with his own eyes the birds flapping their wings in the heavy rain, losing their way and flapping their wings randomly.
I also saw a group of snakes washed away by the heavy rain.
"Oh no! There's going to be a landslide!" Jiang Shiyan shouted.
Upon hearing this, the two firefighters took Jiang Shiyan and ran down the mountain without any hesitation.
The "boom boom" sound seemed to come from the belly of the mountain. The dull sound like thunder made the mood of the three people all shrouded in a huge dark cloud.
Not long after, the mountain began to tremble slightly, and the soil and rocks on the top of the mountain began to loosen.
The firefighters also felt the coming of the natural disaster, and they ran faster with Jiang Shiyan on their backs. They almost slipped and rolled to the ground. Fortunately, another firefighter grabbed them tightly.
The three of them ran wildly regardless of their lives. Jiang Shiyan directed them to run wildly following the group of escaping animals, wiping their face from time to time to restore their vision in the heavy rain.
A moment later, a large amount of earth and rocks poured down the hillside.
Jiang Shiyan looked back, his heart almost jumping out of his chest. Rocks mixed with soil rushed down at an extremely fast speed, colliding with each other. The roar and the "crackling" sound of trees breaking intertwined together, making a terrifying sound...
Fortunately, they were not far from the ground, and the location of the landslide was still some distance away from their fire truck, which meant that the location of the fire truck was safe!
"Slide down!" one of the firefighters shouted.
Jiang Shiyan jumped down while enduring the pain, thinking that she must not implicate the two firefighters who risked their lives to save her. The three of them continued to slide down towards the fire truck, and they could no longer care about the others.
"hurry up!"
Beside the road, I could vaguely hear someone shouting desperately.
finally--
"Wow..."
A short section of road was instantly buried by mud and rocks rolling down the hillside, and even the guardrails on the side of the road were washed away.
Jiang Shiyan and the two firefighters all rolled to the ground, gasping for breath.
Others rushed towards them in the heavy rain!
Even though they were all soaked, they all smiled at that moment.
They are still alive.
"Snake, ah!"
Suddenly a terrified scream was heard from the crowd.
Jiang Shiyan was so frightened that she jumped up reflexively. As a result, she felt a piercing pain in her previously sprained ankle, and tears came to her eyes due to the pain.
After wiping his face, Jiang Shiyan looked not far away.
However, she did not expect to see the snake that had crossed the mountain before. Her precious snake egg was washed down with it. Unfortunately, she could only see the broken eggshell in front of her. It was also lying in the mud and rocks, its body broken into two parts, and its head was facing their direction...
Jiang Shiyan felt cold all over.
Clearly not long ago, this road had told her that it was going to rain heavily and asked her to hurry up, but when she escaped death, it was washed down from the mountainside by mud and rocks, and its body was crushed by the debris.
Jiang Shiyan suddenly realized the horror of nature.
In front of it, life seems too insignificant.
The two firefighters also recognized that the dead king cobra lying in the mud and rocks on the road was the one they had seen.
At this moment, they all looked at Jiang Shiyan at the same time.
Ding!
The system's voice sounded in Jiang Shiyan's mind.
[Strong animal emotional fluctuations detected at the scene, soul obsession is being captured... Captured successfully! Obtained a soul blessing, animal affinity increased by 2%...]
"Rescue workers are on their way here. Fortunately, there aren't many cars passing this road, and the landslide isn't that big..."
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang?"
"Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
The sound of tinnitus and voices came into Jiang Shiyan's ears intermittently. She staggered back a step, feeling dizzy and her vision went dark.
Seeing this, they quickly lifted Jiang Shiyan onto the fire truck.
I don’t know how long it took before the tinnitus slowly faded away.
Jiang Shiyan shook her head, and the scene in front of her slowly became clearer. Faces full of worry appeared in her eyes.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Director Li was so worried that his hair was pulled out and he stood in front of her, all wet, with a sad face: "Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
"I..." Jiang Shiyan was silent for a while, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the reflective top of Director Li's head. He asked in surprise, "Director, where is your hair?"
