Free Web NovelChapter 750: Chapter 92: Viper Attack
Chen Wen and their camp.
As night fell completely.
Everyone lit the campfire, letting the camels freely graze in the oasis.
Now Chen Wen was no longer worried about the camels running away.
With the camel king present, the camels would stick closely by its side, and the camel king would not leave Chen Wen for the good food and drink in the future.
Gathered around the campfire, cooking, everyone discussed those photographers who seemed somewhat strange.
"What do you think they are here to shoot? The scenery?"
Hua Yun couldn’t help but ask.
To her, this desert was truly repulsive!
After all, their group had experienced the harshest and most merciless face of this desert.
"I don’t know, maybe they’re just taking pictures for fun?"
Chen Wen wasn’t quite sure of the photographers’ intentions either, especially since they seemed quite elderly.
Adam shook his head, dismissing the idea of shooting for fun: "Their equipment is expensive, it should be professional."
"How expensive?"
Dennis was very interested in the value of the equipment.
"If the equipment on that car is all professional, the value of that set could easily be over a million US Dollars!"
A million!
And US Dollars!
Chen Wen grinned: "Photography can ruin three generations, a DSLR can destroy a life!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yun giggled.
The three people beside them looked baffled at this.
Evidently, they didn’t understand the Chinese internet meme.
"But these guys have good character, we helped them and they gave us so many cans."
Chen Wen brought the topic back, talking about the canned food.
The old photographer named Klaus had brought them ten cans.
Two fish, six fruit, and two corn kernels cans.
Enough for Chen Wen and the others to eat for a long time.
Especially the fruit cans, they were like a vitamin supplement artifact for those surviving long-term!
After some discussion, the group decisively opened two fruit cans to taste the flavor.
And at this moment.
Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.
Chen Wen immediately reached for a long spear, using eye contact to signal everyone to look towards the direction of the footsteps.
Just as everyone was tense, a somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the darkness.
"Don’t be nervous, it’s me, I’m the photographer, we’ve met."
As he spoke, a bald head appeared in front of everyone.
It was Rolf, the more silent photographer from the afternoon.
Seeing it’s him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Dennis stepped out to communicate and asked: "Hello, what brings you here..."
Rolf’s face showed a hint of urgency, he said: "We’ve encountered a problem..."
He used succinct words to explain the situation.
The incident was simple.
After setting up the tent, Rolf sprinkled some snake repellent powder around it and then didn’t pay attention to that spot anymore.
Just as they were moving equipment, a venomous snake crawled slowly near their tent.
The snake seemed to take their tent as a shelter and stayed there peacefully.
And when Jens went to rest in the tent after moving the equipment.
He was carelessly attacked by the snake.
"Let’s go have a look!"
Chen Wen immediately stood up.
In the wilderness, being bitten by a venomous snake was almost a death sentence.
.....
Dennis followed Chen Wen, and the two of them headed to Jens’ camp.
On the road, Chen Wen asked Rolf what kind of snake it was that attacked them. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
But Rolf didn’t seem to know the species of the snake either.
Thus, Chen Wen sped up, almost leaving the other two behind.
Before long, the three of them arrived at Jens’ camp.
Chen Wen immediately saw Jens sitting on the ground.
He had already tied a bandage near his upper arm and was rinsing the wound with pure water.
Meanwhile, Jens had removed the watch from his wrist and the ring from his hand.
Seeing this, Chen Wen sighed with relief.
He wasn’t totally inexperienced, after all.
Applying a bandage near the heart was to prevent the toxin from spreading quickly; rinsing with pure water was to clean the surface toxins; removing jewelry was to prevent not being able to remove them once swelling occurred near the wound.
Moreover, Jens also lay the wound against the ground, trying to keep it lower than his heart.
This was also a technique to prevent venom spread.
He sat still on the ground for the same reason.
"Where’s the snake?"
Since Jens seemed experienced and his actions were all correct, Chen Wen turned to look for the venomous snake.
Hearing this, Rolf pointed in a direction: "After Jens got bitten, he tried to catch the snake, but the snake was fast, it seemed to have gone that way."
Hiss!
This is tricky!
Not knowing the snake’s species, administering anti-venom serum would be difficult.
"I’ll go look for it!"
Chen Wen said, also instructing Dennis: "You keep an eye on them, and call the association to see if they can provide rescue."
After speaking, Chen Wen paused, looking at Jens and Rolf: "You guys have money, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Rolf immediately nodded.
The four of them hadn’t earned a small amount over the years.
Dennis nodded, borrowing a phone from Rolf and directly called the old vice-president of the Australian Association.
And before Chen Wen left, Rolf gave him some information: "The snake got stepped on by Jens, its body wasn’t that big, with such damage, it couldn’t have gone far!"
Chen Wen’s expression relaxed slightly.
That was barely good news.
Carrying a long spear, Chen Wen quickly headed in the direction Rolf mentioned.
To find the snake faster, Chen Wen decisively used the Disguise and Transformation functions.
This time, he chose to transform into a Snowy Owl, utilizing its powerful night vision to search for the snake.
After walking about a hundred meters, in Snowy Owl form, Chen Wen suddenly saw a snake crawling slowly.
The reason for the snake’s reduced speed was due to some distortion in its body.
This is it!
Reverting from Snowy Owl form, Chen Wen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately struck the snake behind its head with his spear.
With a crunch.
The snake’s neck was pierced through by Chen Wen’s spearhead, and its bones were severed.
Its body struggled violently.
But Chen Wen had already reached out, grasping its head, and took it back towards the camp.
Back at the camp.
The others initially thought Chen Wen would take a while to return.
But even before Dennis could dial out, they saw Chen Wen returning with a still writhing snake.
This fast?!
Rolf opened his mouth wide, incredulously looking at Chen Wen.
Dennis, on the other hand, was resigned.
He asked: "Are you sure it’s this one?"
"No mistake, its body is somewhat bent, it was probably stepped on, that was quite a heavy stomp!"
Chen Wen said, placing the snake in front of Jens.
Jens slowed the rinsing of his wound, carefully identifying the snake, then weakly said: "That’s it!"
