Chapter 176: A Strange Grave
Wu Zhongyuan used light skills, and the black bear saw that he was running fast, and knew that there was no hope of catching him, so he quickly became discouraged, and he stopped chasing after dozens of meters.
The black bear stopped chasing, Wu Zhongyuan didn't slow down, the hour was not early, he had to get back to Daqiu before it got dark.
As for hunting, let's go back to the Daqiu Realm and find a way, and start looking for it now, even if we catch it, we will have to go back to it.
Before the sun set, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the Daqiu realm, and at this time, there were still people in the mountains, some were annoyed and depressed with nothing, and some were happy with their prey.
On the way, I heard two young men with goats on their backs talking excitedly, and guessed which girl would come forward to take their prey and conclude a relationship with them when they returned to the city.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Zhongyuan then remembered that there was still this stubble, what if he went back with his prey, and many women surrounded him?
At that time, if Wu Qin was present and he insisted on not choosing from these women, would Wu Qin be suspicious? Will he mess up the mandarin duck spectrum?
No, we have to find a way to catch the prey that can only make women retreat.
The first thing he thought of was a weasel, this thing was very angry, but after a flash of thought, he dispelled this thought, as a warrior of Daqiu, it didn't seem good to carry a weasel back.
Then I thought of making a heavy weight, so that they couldn't hold it, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't work, what if they carried it together?
It's really hard to find a suitable target, you have to show your might, and you have to make the women waiting outside the city retreat, what is it good to find?
After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly had an idea, and there were, looking for snakes, looking for big ones.
The Aryan beast hunting technique is not only telepathy, but also has certain skills, which kind of animals like to stay in where there are certain rules, snakes usually like to stay not far from the water source, hibernation when they like to stay in a place with suitable humidity and dryness, the hibernation environment is too dry, the snake will be dehydrated and die on the way to hibernation, if the hibernation place is too wet, it will freeze and freeze to death.
The abandoned city is the first choice for snakes to hibernate, and there are really a few similar places in the mountains and wilderness, looking for the past, meditating and settling, and feeling to find.
Don't underestimate the cultivation of the cave god, after he became the cave god, the range of his induction increased significantly, and he did perceive the existence of snakes, and snakes hibernate with another characteristic, that is, they like to get together, there are many small snakes, but big snakes are rare.
After looking for several abandoned villages, he didn't find the big snake, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Wu Zhongyuan was a little anxious, this was the first time to participate in the festival hunt, and it would be a shame to go back empty-handed.
Fortunately, on the slope to the east of this abandoned city, he sensed the existence of a suspected target, the target was located a few meters deep under a large earthen bag, and judging by perception, there should be a big guy hiding hundreds of catties below.
Most snakes don't know how to burrow, so how can this guy drill so deep?
I was puzzled, and then looked at the surrounding situation, and finally realized that there were many similar dirt bags around, this place should be a tomb, and the place where this big snake hid was one of the graves.
He didn't know which clan this abandoned village was originally a city, nor did he know who was buried here, but no matter who was buried or which tribe they belonged to when they were alive, it didn't seem good to dig people's graves in order to catch snakes.
After hesitation, start looking around the grave bag, where there must be a hole leading to the grave, and it is usually located on higher ground, because if the hole is too low, it will rain and pour water into the grave.
Soon he found the entrance to the cave, which was on the top of the grave, on the right side of the grave, hidden under a cluster of bushes, which was seventy or eighty centimeters in diameter, and should have been dug by an animal like a dog badger, and if it were a weasel and a mountain mouse, the hole would not be so large.
I went to the entrance of the cave and smelled it, the fishy smell was thick, it was very pungent, and for some reason, the soil on the four walls of the cave and the cave was very dry, the temperature inside was very high, and the high one was somewhat unreasonable, and the heat emitted from the entrance of the cave could be clearly felt.
Although the entrance to the cave is not small, it is still difficult to get into, and even if he can get in, he will not drill into it, the temperature in the tomb is strangely high, such a high temperature, the big snake inside is likely to be awake, what if he is halfway through, the big guy jumps up to give him a mouthful.
No, I don't know how much space there is, it's snowing, hay is not easy to find, and the heat is going up, even if you light a fire, the smoke will not pour into it.
It doesn't work, not to mention that you don't have the tools at hand, and even if you have it, you can't do it, and it's going to be digging people's ancestral graves.
After groaning, I thought of a way, cut a fresh branch three meters long, took off the shoe on my right foot, tied it to a stick, and then untied the waist rope, peed on the shoe, only drenched a little, and the rest of the urine was next to it, if I urinated on the shoe completely, the shoe would be soaked, and I would not be able to wear it for a while.
The underground space of this tomb is larger than he imagined, and there is no bottom when a stick more than three meters long is poked into it, but there is no need to insert it into the end, snakes are very sensitive to smells, as long as they smell the smell and feel that the target is moving, they will take the initiative to attack.
His judgment proved to be correct, and soon the prey was biting, and the force from the other end was so great that the stick in his hand almost escaped.
You can't confront it, if you let go, it's bad, you have to pull it up quickly, this thing must be a hundred pounds, otherwise you don't have so much strength.
When he pulled it up, he was fully mentally prepared to imagine that this big snake that had not yet appeared was extremely terrifying, so that even if it was really ugly and hideous, he would not be frightened.
After the stick was pulled out two meters, he suddenly exerted his strength, grabbed the end of the stick and dragged it eastward, the big snake must have been dragged out, but he didn't look back, he kept dragging the stick and ran eastward.
I don't know if the big snake is stupid and doesn't know how to loosen its mouth, or if its teeth are inserted into its boots and can't be pulled out, in short, it doesn't let go, Wu Zhongyuan doesn't look back, just runs east, and picks a place with snow when he runs, in such a cold weather, this guy will soon freeze.
At first, the big snake was still struggling violently in the back, but then the strength of the struggle gradually weakened, and finally disappeared, leaving only its own weight, more than a hundred catties.
At this time, he did not look back, and ran to the edge of the woods to the west of the mound, and then he looked back, and when he saw it, he was still startled, this guy was bigger than he thought, more than five meters long, the scales on his body were red, the head was triangular, and there was a cluster of red crests similar to the comb of a rooster, which was not a python, but a poisonous snake.
At this time, this guy was already frozen, Wu Zhongyuan went over and took off his shoes, put them on, and originally wanted to drag them back, but kicked them twice, and found that they were frozen, so he simply carried them.
Although the sun had already set, there were still many women standing outside the city gates, most of them married women waiting for their husbands, and there were still people in the mountains at this time, and he was not the latest to return.
Seeing him approaching, the crowd began to agitate, and when he was still a few dozen meters away from the city gate, a group of women greeted him.
Wu Zhongyuan glanced at it and was startled, there was no good-looking one, all of them were crooked melons and cracked dates.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the crooked melon and cracked jujube only saw the pale red cloak behind him, and he didn't see what he was carrying on his shoulders.
The piercing scream made Wu Zhongyuan frown, and said that ugly people make more mistakes, this is not unreasonable, the more ugly the woman, the more she likes to shout.
When they arrived at the city gate, they also startled the married women and the soldiers guarding the city, and the poisonous snakes were generally relatively small, and they had never seen such a large poisonous snake.
What prey did everyone catch, and a group of people were responsible for recording, not only some people recorded, but also someone was responsible for shouting at the throat, after the shock, the person in charge of propaganda howled at the throat, "Zhongyuan Cave God, a hundred-year-old red-crowned snake." ”
"Are you scolding me?" Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, "You should add capture, or capture alive." ”
Reprimanded, the man hurriedly shouted again, "Capture ...... alive"
"Shut up, don't shout," Wu Zhongyuan threw the poisonous snake in front of everyone, "Be careful, it's not dead yet." ”
Ah Luo was also near the city gate, but she was standing next to the street in the city, and when she saw Wu Zhongyuan throwing down her prey, she hurriedly ran over, took out a piece of rice cake from her arms and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan spread his hands, signaling that he had caught the poisonous snake and had not washed his hands, and Ah Luo brought the rice crackers to his mouth.
Wu Zhongyuan was also hungry, took a bite, and smiled at Ah Luo.
Arlo laughed too.
At this time, the group of people who were responsible for receiving and recording the prey were discussing whether this poisonous snake could be eaten, this red-crowned snake was a highly venomous snake, and everyone avoided it on weekdays, who would catch it to eat.
Wu Zhongyuan looked around and didn't see Wu Qin, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but even if Wu Qin was still here, he shouldn't be forced to pick a wife, because the rest was too much.
He lived in the western part of the city, and after going back to wash up, he went to the city with Arlo, and tonight there was a large bonfire in the square outside the Warriors' Morning Hall.
When the two arrived, the square was already crowded, and the situation was somewhat like the open-air banquet of modern rural weddings, with dozens of large cauldrons on the east and west sides of the square, in which meat was stewed and rice boiled.
There are more than a dozen piles of firewood in the middle of the square, all of which are hardwood that can withstand burning, and there are dense pampas cushions in other areas, at this time ordinary people can not sit on stools and chairs, they can only sit on this flat pampas mat.
The warrior had his own seat, in the north, and when he arrived at the square, Ah Luo went to help the cook, and Wu Zhongyuan went to the north.
At this time, most of the warriors were already in place, and when they saw Wu Zhongyuan coming, Wu Qin, who was sitting in the main seat of due north, smiled and beckoned to him, "Zhongyuan, come and talk." ”
Wu Zhongyuan walked over quickly, raised his hand and saluted, "Lord Jushan." ”
"Have you ever chosen the woman you like?" Wu Qin seemed to be in a good mood.
Wu Zhongyuan was just about to answer, but found that Wu Zhen and the others sitting around were smiling meaningfully.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, Wu Dalie urged, "Lord Jushan asked you something." ”
Wu Zhongyuan could only shake his head.
"Hahaha, it's okay, I have my own arrangements. Wu Qin waved his hand and motioned for him to return to his seat.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why, he walked to his seat in a daze, and tilted his head to look at Wu Qin after sitting down, at this time Wu Qin was talking to Wu Zhen and the others, Wu Dalie made eye contact with him, and glanced at him with a smile.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't understand what Wu Dalie's eyes meant, and when he found that the young warriors around him looked at him with hostility, he vaguely guessed what Wu Qin wanted to do, although Wu Qin was only thirty-five years old this year, he had three children, two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter was eighteen years old this year, and the second daughter was sixteen......
