Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 1123 The big snake dies

Just as the giant snake was about to straighten up, it vanished from its original spot in the blink of an eye!

At this very moment, Jiang Jiyun, who was curled up inside the iron barrel, had not yet retracted her finger when she saw the giant snake appear in the center of the plaza.

Jiang Wenming, pale-faced and terrified, also rushed to the scene.

When he arrived, he only had time to catch a glimpse of the giant snake from afar before it vanished in an instant.

Immediately after, Yan Jin, who was following behind Jiang Wenming, also walked over quickly.

The giant snake had long since disappeared. Yan Jin looked around with suspicion at the child struggling to crawl out of a round iron barrel, illuminated by the firelight.

"Where did the giant snake go? Could it have really fallen out of that cave and died?" Yan Jin asked breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun, who had just successfully escaped from the iron barrel, did not answer him.

Instead, she casually swung her arm outwards, throwing the giant snake's corpse down as if it were a useless object.

Ma Chao and his men outside had just finished dealing with the enemies.

After the battle, the vast majority of people, armed with various weapons, rushed into the cave like a swarm of bees.

Meanwhile, Ma Chao himself led another small team to remain on the outskirts, keeping a close watch on any possible disturbances to prevent other enemies from launching an attack.

Just as they were being wary of their surroundings, a sharp sound of a branch snapping reached their ears, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

Everyone became alert again, preparing for the next chaotic battle.

Jiang Jiyun stood up from the slightly deformed bucket, her mouth wide open, panting heavily. She had almost been crushed to death.

She never imagined that things would go so smoothly, but recalling the confrontation with the giant snake, she still felt lingering fear.

The giant snake seemed to have a special attraction for her, and no matter what she did, it refused to get close easily, always opening its blood-red mouth and revealing sharp fangs, wanting to devour her.

Is this...is this real? Is it...is it really dead? Jiang Wenming's voice trembled, his hands clenched into fists, and his body shook uncontrollably.

Despite the excruciating pain from his leg injury, Jiang Jiyun struggled to his feet and limped toward Jiang Wenming.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then nodded solemnly, answering affirmatively: Yes, it really is dead and fell down!

While enduring the excruciating pain from his severed arm, Yan Jin used his other hand to support his injured arm and slowly said: This giant snake has killed many people; many of our companions were strangled to death by it.

He had barely finished speaking when he was still a little uneasy. He took another step towards the cave entrance, bent down on the ground, and stared down with wide eyes.

However, at this moment, it was pitch black all around, with only faint starlight shining down, making it impossible to see the condition of the ground.

Nevertheless, Yan Jin could still vaguely see several torches below, cautiously approaching the place, seemingly to check the situation.

A moment later, no gunshots or explosions were heard from the foot of the mountain as expected; the surroundings remained quiet.

Seeing this, Yan Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps that terrifying giant snake was really dead.

"That monster was really blown up!" Yan Jin finally became truly excited.

Of the dozens of people who were rescued from the interrogation table with him, he doesn't know how many are still alive.

He witnessed Yan Hexian being hit and vomiting blood, dying instantly, and several others also perished in the same way.

He didn't know how many people had sacrificed their lives in places he couldn't see.

As they were talking, they heard gunshots. Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming immediately adjusted their stance, picked up their guns, and joined the battle.

Jiang Jiyuan led the group to where Jiang Wenming and the others were.

At a glance, one could see the pale-faced uncle and sister.

He rushed forward and asked with concern, "How did you get so badly injured? What happened? Didn't you take your medicine?"

Jiang Wenming waved his hand weakly, slumped to the ground, and said in a hoarse voice, "There really is a giant snake here! It chased us relentlessly, and we almost died at its hands."

As he spoke, he was already panting heavily and exhausted.

Jiang Jiyun, who was also leaning against her uncle, was panting heavily and said with lingering fear, "That snake was crazy. It bit me like crazy and wouldn't let go. If it weren't for luck, you would have almost never seen your dear sister!"

Hearing what the two of them said, Jiang Jiyuan frowned slightly, recalling the first words the comrade he had rescued had said upon waking up: "There is a giant man-eating snake here, everyone be careful."

However, along the way, they did not smell the stench characteristic of snakes, nor did they see the giant snake. Everyone thought that the man was simply seeing things.

Jiang Wenming gulped down several mouthfuls of salt water from his canteen, regaining some strength, and said slowly, "That big snake has already fallen down into the cave over there. But a snake that big shouldn't be here. Where did those Japanese devils get this thing from?"

Yan Jin thought about the giant snake and said, "Didn't those ancient people's tombs have guardian beasts? Do you think this might have been brought out of one of those tombs by the Japanese devils?"

After resting for a while, Jiang Jiyun went to help Yan Jin with his remaining half of his arm. "Where is the part of your arm that you broke off? If we can find it, we can reattach it."

Yan Jin said with a wry smile, "It's no use. They've all been blown to bits. At least I'm still alive, aren't I?"

Jiang Wenming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Yes, as long as you're alive, there's hope."

Jiang Jiyun's eyes suddenly lit up. "So, someone deliberately lured those people down the mountain to rob, and the mission those Japanese soldiers who killed anyone they saw was fake?"

Xiao Wei recalled what Sixth Master had told his men: "It's not entirely untrue. Their intelligence was that they were robbing three cars, and the people in them had to die. Our three cars were not far from those three oxcarts."

"But they robbed and killed three oxcarts! Were the people who delivered the message out of their minds?" Jiang Wenming felt heartbroken when he thought of the dead civilians.

If those robbers really came to kill them, given their abilities, they would be offering themselves up for death.

Jiang Jiyuan sighed and said, "The main problem lies with Chen Dong. Once we find him, we'll know what's going on!"

Yan Jin only realized now that they hadn't come specifically to rescue him and his group, but had accidentally witnessed someone robbing and killing civilians, and had tracked the robbers to this place.
