The Viper Valley was not far from Kelo town, about ten miles away. Si Zhanbei and the others walked very quickly, and arrived in half an hour.
The group arrived at the Viper Valley. The Sky gradually brightened, revealing the true face of the valley.
It was a very beautiful valley. If it had not been given such a name, it would have been like heaven. The Sky was not completely bright. The Hazy Valley looked like a fairyland at first glance, ethereal but fascinating.
The grass was lush, the trees were lush, and the fragrance of flowers assailed one's nostrils. However, it was said that poisonous snakes were rampant in such a valley, and one could die if one was not careful.
Si Zhanbei and the others stopped outside the valley. Then, they took out the foot covers that had been prepared beforehand to guard against insects and snakes. After putting them on, they walked towards the valley.
In the valley, smoke rose from the chimneys. The people inside had already started cooking.
Seeing the smoke, Hu Dongyang and the others were stunned. They said, "didn't they say that this valley is filled with poisonous snakes? Why is there still people living here? "
"Can't there be people living here if there are poisonous snakes? " Sheng Fenghua asked in return. If there were no people living here, the poisonous snakes and the dark officials wouldn't have asked them to come here to save people.
Obviously, they were very familiar with this place. Perhaps this place was also their nest, just like the villa before.
"Aren't these people afraid of poisonous snakes? " Hu Dongyang couldn't help but mutter, thinking to himself, aren't the people living here afraid of being bitten by snakes in the middle of the night?
"poisonous snakes don't exist in every place. They also have their own areas of activity. As long as you don't block them, they won't hurt people, " Sheng Fenghua explained and then walked in the direction of blowing smoke.
It was still early. If those comrades were really brought here, she hoped that she could save them before the poisonous snakes and the secret minister arrived.
To be honest, Sheng Fenghua didn't want to face the secret minister anymore. This man made her feel fear in her heart.
The group hid their bodies along the way and soon approached the residential area. These residential areas looked very simple and crude. Most of them were built with wood and bamboo.
When they arrived at the residential area, they split up to look for traces of their comrades.
After a round of searching, they did not find anyone. The few of them could not help but feel a little anxious and gathered together again.
"Captain, we didn't find anyone! "
"We didn't find anyone either. "
"We didn't find anyone either. "
Listening to everyone's words, Si Zhanbei's brows tightly knitted together. He thought to himself: could it be that they came early and Fox and the rest were not sent here?
If that was really the case, then what was the other party's intention in sending them here?
Could it be that they wanted to use poisonous snakes to deal with them?
This thought only flashed through his mind, but Si Zhanbei quickly rejected it. The other party couldn't be so bored. If they really wanted to deal with them, real guns and live ammunition would definitely be much more effective than this method.
"Let's go and look again, " Si Zhanbei said. He felt that it was very likely that they didn't look carefully. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have repeatedly requested for them to come here.
"Wait, I'll go and capture someone to ask. " Seeing that everyone was about to disperse and go to look for someone again, Sheng Fenghua spoke.
Rather than blindly looking, it would be faster to find someone to ask.
With that, Sheng Fenghua quickly headed to a room, grabbed a woman who was cooking, and interrogated her.
Seeing Sheng Fenghua suddenly appear, the woman was very afraid. But when she asked her questions, she didn't know anything. In the end, a child ran out of nowhere and said to her, "let go of my mother, and I'll tell you where they are. "
Sheng Fenghua glanced at the child and said, "tell me first, and then I'll let her go! "
In the middle of the night.

"Okay, I'll tell you. They are in the pool. " The child said quickly. Seeing that Sheng Fenghua had indeed let go of his mother, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Sheng Fenghua released him without hesitation, but she missed the dark glint in the child's eyes that did not match his age after he said that.
After receiving the news, Sheng Fenghua returned to Si Zhanbei's side and told everyone about her comrades in the pool.
"In the pool? " Si Zhanbei and the others were slightly stunned. Some of them had just passed by the pool, but other than a few wooden houses, they did not discover anything else.
Could it be that the other party had locked Fox and the others in the water?
Thinking of this, a few of them had a change in expression and quickly ran in the direction of the pond. There were a few houses in the middle of the pond. They were all made of wood, and there was a long corridor leading from the shore to the wooden house in the middle.
When they reached the shore, Si Zhanbei and the others did not think twice and directly stepped on the long corridor and headed towards the wooden house opposite.
Because they had already walked once before, they felt at ease and walked boldly.
However, to their surprise, when they were halfway through the long corridor, their feet suddenly sank, and the seemingly fine wooden board suddenly broke from the middle.
Fortunately, the few of them reacted quickly and grabbed the handrail by the side, or else they would have fallen into the pool.
"F * Ck, why did this wooden board suddenly break? " Hu Dongyang could not help but swear. However, just as he finished speaking, a snake head suddenly popped out from the place where the break was.
The snake head was black and large, its long tongue sticking out, and its pair of snake eyes locked onto the few of them tightly.
The sudden appearance of the snake gave everyone a fright, and some people could not help but scream. After the screams, a few more snake heads suddenly appeared.
At the same time, snakes crawled out from under the wooden planks in the corridor, staring at them covetously.
"Why, why are there suddenly so many snakes? " Hu Dongyang's face was a little Pale. He had been here before, but there was nothing. Even in those wooden houses, he had carefully checked and found no one, let alone snakes?
But now, why were there suddenly so many snakes?
What was going on?
"looks like there are quite a few snakes in this pond. " Sheng Fenghua wasn't afraid of snakes. Her eyes flashed as she looked at the large snakes with their necks raised and their tongues sticking out.
Fortunately, she was already prepared. She took out some realgar powder from her space. Now, it could come in handy.
Sheng Fenghua took a step forward. With a wave of her hand, she threw out a handful of realgar powder.
Smelling the scent of Realgar, the snakes turned around and ran away faster than anything else. Some of them directly jumped into the water.
Seeing that the snakes were running away faster than rabbits, Hu Dongyang could not help but give Sheng Fenghua a thumbs up and said, "sister-in-law, you're awesome! "
"Don't be silly, let's go! " Sheng Fenghua smiled and took the lead to jump over the broken wooden board and approach the big house in the middle.
Fortunately, the wooden board was only broken in one place, so the group successfully arrived in front of the wooden house.
After approaching the wooden house, for safety reasons, Si Zhanbei did not let everyone split up to search. Instead, he planned to search one room at a time.
When they pushed open the door of the first room, there was nothing inside except for some tables and chairs. It was obvious that this was a place for people to eat.
When they pushed open the door of the third room, the scene inside gave everyone a fright. The entire room was densely covered with snakes. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
Second Watch.
