Chapter 79: Snake Tide
A poisonous snake slowly swam out from under the Rosenberg University teacher. It looked around as if frightened and quickly burrowed into the weeds beside it, disappearing without a trace.
At this time, other people from Rosenberg University also noticed the teacher's abnormal behavior. They quickly rushed over and found that he was just like the two people who were bitten by poisonous snakes before, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth. They immediately took out the antidote injection to remove the snake venom from his body.
Seeing the teacher from Rosenberg University slowly recovering his breathing, several people from Birona University breathed a sigh of relief. Once the teacher from Rosenberg University died from the snake venom, they would really have to consider returning to the village below. Risking danger and risking one's life are two completely different things. They only came here to conduct a certain degree of archaeological research on the ruins, not to explore or experience the distance between life and death, so they naturally would not joke with their lives.
Even though no one was killed, some problems still arose at the University of Birona after repeated venomous snake attacks.
Gro's face was gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking. Amanda, who he recommended to compete for the admission quota, looked extremely frightened. She stood there and kept looking at the grass around her, being cautious and vigilant, as if she was afraid that a poisonous snake would emerge from the grass and pounce on her.
As for the others, although they didn't show it as obviously as Gro and Amanda, the smiles on their faces had disappeared, and they became more careful when dealing with the weeds and bushes in the camp.
While dealing with the weeds, Shalan was keeping an eye out for any other fluctuations of mental power, but he was completely immersed in the fleeting mental power fluctuation just now, as if it was an illusion.
After the camp was renovated, Fu took out a packet of powdered medicine and sprinkled it around the camp. This medicine could prevent mosquitoes, snakes, rats and the like from entering the camp to the greatest extent. Although it could not completely eliminate the possibility of entry, it was a line of defense after all, which made the faces of the people at the University of Birona slightly better.
After the camp was cleared, everyone began to set up their own tents. The tents were basically arranged in a circle around the camp, with space in the middle for campfires, cooking, and storage of various archaeological tools.
After Shalan skillfully set up his own tent, he looked at Ailan who was still working hard to set up the tent nearby, and stepped forward to help Ailan. But at this moment, Shalan suddenly heard the sound of quarreling. He stood up and looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately saw Fu and another teacher from Birona University standing outside the camp arguing.
Including Ailan and Fu, there are a total of five teachers from the History Department of Birona University who came here for archaeological research. The young male teacher who was arguing with Fu at this time was one of them. From the content of their argument, it can be heard that the male teacher felt that poisonous snake attacks on people were just accidental incidents, and they did not need to be so cautious. Fu, on the other hand, thought that these poisonous snake attacks on people were too strange, and wanted to treat them with caution.
"Fu, we didn't get much sponsorship, so we don't have much time to waste. Previously, you insisted on hiring villagers as guides, but not only did you waste the deposit, you also leaked the location of the ruins we wanted to explore, and those people from Rosenberg University came to us.
Now you are still wasting time here. Sooner or later, the sponsorship we have worked so hard to get will be wasted in your hands. If we cannot achieve certain results, how can we get sponsorship back to support our archaeological activities in the future!"
"You said there is no way to get sponsorship back, so I just want to ask you one question: what if someone dies here?"
After hearing Fu's words, the male teacher immediately said, "There is nothing we can do about the death of people. When we in the history department conduct archaeological activities, there may be serious injuries or deaths five or six times. These are all sacrifices made for academic research and are honorable."
When Fu heard this, she smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Glorious? Great! Then go and carry out your glorious archaeological activities. We will just wait and see here for a while and won't stop you."
"Fu! If you insist on doing this, I will report your behavior to your sponsor. I want to see how many people are willing to sponsor you in the future!"
With a disdainful smile, Fu turned and walked towards the camp, saying, "It's up to you. This isn't the first time you've done this."
After returning to the camp, Fu smiled and patted Ailan's shoulder, then sat down and began to organize the equipment and various related materials, preparing to make a plan to enter the ruins for archaeological research.
The male teacher looked at Fu's back with a look of gnashing teeth. He snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the entrance of the ruins, intending to go there to take a look at the situation there, so that he could come back to further formulate the archaeological plan.
However, this walk lasted more than two hours. Not only did the most timid Amanda look unhappy, but even Fu's face showed a hint of anxiety.
Standing up, Fu looked at Ailan and the other two teachers beside her and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go look for that guy. He hasn't come back for such a long time. I don't think he's in any danger."
"Teacher, I will go with you."
Shaking her head, Fu said to Ailan: "No, I can do it myself, you stay here and wait for me to come back..."
Before Fu finished her words, bursts of screams suddenly came from the Rosenberg University camp on the other side. The Rosenberg University staff who had been doing their respective duties in the camp suddenly ran out, some nimbly grabbing their backpacks and escaping. However, those who did not have their backpacks and equipment with them had no choice but to rush out empty-handed.
"Help, help, I've been bitten, I've been bitten!"
"Snakes, so many snakes!"
"Run, get out of here quickly."
"I want to leave here. Let's get out of this damn place as soon as possible."
Screams, curses, crying and groaning came one after another. When Fu, Shalan and others heard the shouts of those people from Rosenberg University, their faces changed.
Fu immediately asked everyone to get their things and leave here immediately, but at this moment, a series of hissing sounds seemed to come from all directions, echoing throughout the valley.
Shalan turned her head to look in the direction they were coming from and around the camp, and saw a large number of snakes of various shapes, colors, and sizes swimming towards the people in the camp from all directions!
