Chapter 694 Old Man Snake

The three of them stopped immediately. Now they were only two steps away from the snake body. They could see many details clearly. They realized that the beast with a human face and a snake body could not really speak, but it could make human-like sounds by vibrating at a certain frequency at the end of its tail.

Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan's legs softened and they fell down with a plop. Their clothes were stained by the yellow mud on the ground, but they had no time to care about it and even forgot to breathe. The two of them followed Qing Chunhua and insisted on walking northwest. They had already expected that they might encounter strange beasts on this journey. They had already given themselves an early warning in their hearts. Normally, even if they were attacked by a beast at night, they would not have to lose their composure even if they were panicked.

However, the beast first showed weakness to deceive the three people, letting them relax their guard, and then showed its true appearance. The difference between the two was unexpected. At the same time, their bodies were numb and their hearts were terrified, which was far greater than the sudden attack of the beast at night.

The three of them were even more shocked. It was because they had only heard the name of the beast since they were young, but had never seen its true appearance. The common people also called them "strange beasts", which meant "beasts" in their words, a kind of powerful and strange beasts. In their subconscious, they kept classifying them into tigers, leopards, bears, and eagles, thinking that they had the common characteristics of "beasts", strong, bloody, brutal, but not very intelligent.

But when they met at this moment, they realized that it was a misunderstanding. These "strange beasts" were not only powerful, but also had wisdom that was not inferior to humans. Previously, I asked Qing Chunhua to return to the village and call more people, probably because I wanted to eat more.

The calculations, cunning and sinisterness in this really made people feel cold in their hearts, and cold sweats ran down in an instant. Fortunately, after a brief shock and fear, Qing Chunhua reacted immediately, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and immediately cut it with a sword. At the same time, he grabbed Qu Xiaochan and Liu Ju and ran towards the main road.

I originally wanted to kill the demons, but when I really met them, I wanted to escape first. Liu Ju gradually came back to his senses and said, "Human face and snake body, I remember, this is the old man snake." Qing Chunhua jumped high, stepped on the branches, and flew dozens of feet high. He jumped high, his body was as light as a wild goose. Lighter than a bird.

When he landed, he looked towards the dense forest and saw that the old man snake did not chase him. He just stared at the three people with his human face and hid in the dark.

The three people trembled in their hearts. It was noon, but they felt cold all over their bodies, as if they fell into an ice cave, and they felt uncomfortable all over. Qing Chunhua was angry and thought, "Cunning beast, even I almost got into trouble. If I don't kill you today, I don't know how many people will be killed in the future." He immediately suppressed the fear in his heart and swung out a "spitting light", and more than ten trees broke with a sound.

Qing Chunhua was crazy, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the old man snake. He didn't get close to fight, but just slashed out with sword energy frantically, making the dense forest a mess, and the smoke was filled with ash.

When he ran out of energy and gasped for breath, he stopped his sword moves and looked into the smoke. He saw that the vegetation in the area of ​​more than ten miles ahead had been turned into powder. This power was really terrifying. Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan felt relieved. Seeing that the young lady had such strength, even if the beasts were cunning, there was nothing to fear.

When the smoke dissipated, the three of them mustered up their courage and went into the forest to explore. However, they saw a rough hole on the ground. The old man snake had gone through the ground. Near the hole, there was a blue-green liquid, which looked like the blood of the old man snake.

The three of them searched separately and found a broken tail in one place. If you shake it gently, you can make a "rustling" noise. If you listen carefully, it sounds a bit like a waiter crying. If you shake it gently again, it sounds vaguely like a woman asking for help.

This old man snake is used to showing weakness to the enemy, luring prey to come closer, and then swallowing it in one bite. If Qing Chunhua was not so powerful, the three of them would have died in the snake's mouth. Thinking about it in my heart, I was scared. Liu Ju said, "Miss, how about we go back a long way?" Qing Chunhua nodded and said, "It seems that I misunderstood the shopkeeper. He kindly reminded me, but I didn't believe him. And I am inexperienced and don't know much about the habits of strange beasts. If I go in too deep, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Let's go back first."

Hearing her agreement, Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan both breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the young lady would show off her power and go deeper. The three of them came in a hurry and returned in a hurry. After making the decision, they set off immediately.

After only three hours of walking, it was dark and they had to stop to rest. The three of them had no heart to sleep. They each held a torch and were always alert to the surroundings. If there was any movement, they would be like a frightened bird.

The three of them felt numb from time to time, as if there was a pair of eyes in the dark, staring at the three of them coldly, full of resentment. It was not easy for the sky to get bright, and they continued to hurry on their way. However, after walking for another day, they still hadn't walked out of the dense forest, and the three of them made a "click" at the same time.

When they entered the forest, they hacked and chopped all the way, and found a way out of nowhere. Now they should not get lost by taking the long way back, and the speed should be faster than when they came. However, after two days of walking, they were still in the dense forest.

They were confused for a while, but they gritted their teeth and walked along the path for another three days. They still could not get out of the dense forest, and something worse happened. Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan had snake scales growing on their backs.

When they found them, there were already more than a dozen. Qing Chunhua was strong and had stronger resistance, but she also had ulcers on her back. After the ulcers broke and pus flowed, the scars formed also looked like snake scales.

The three looked at each other and were all scared and sweaty. Qu Xiaochan was so scared that she cried and asked, "Miss, what should we do?" Qing Chunhua's lips turned pale and she was at a loss. She remembered that her master used to hunt for strange beasts everywhere, and had ways to deal with various strange beasts, and recorded them in a book "Shanshui Strategy". That "Shanshui Strategy" was very comprehensive.

It was a pity that Qing Chunhua was not able to borrow it to see, otherwise she would not be at a loss. Only then did she understand that her master had said that one should not be arrogant because of the strength of the force, because it is inevitable that one will encounter a situation where the force is restricted and cannot be used at all. At this time, one must think calmly.

Qing Chunhua tried to calm down, but it was easier said than done. She couldn't find a way out, and the snake scales on her back kept growing more and more, so dense that they almost became a piece of snake skin.

Liu Ju asked, "Miss, if we can't get out, will we become old snakes?" Qing Chunhua swallowed her saliva, and was so scared that she was out of her mind. She would rather die immediately than become that thing that was neither human nor ghost.

After walking for another three days, the three of them ran out of dry food and were desperate. Qing Chunhua was determined to kill demons and eliminate monsters, but now she knows that demons will not be killed stupidly, and monsters will not be eliminated stupidly. She is powerful, but the strange beasts and demons have never shown their faces, and they have forced her into death step by step.

Then she realized that she was too naive.

Just as her mind was wandering in the chaos, Qu Xiaochan's eyes suddenly lit up, pointing to the distance and said, "Miss, look! There are people picking herbs."
