"Wow-wow-"

Sure enough, as Li Jian expected, when Dongfang dyed the glow and radiated ten thousand purple gases, Li Jian heard a sound like a baby crying in his ears.

That's right, it's definitely the sound of beetle snakes!

As a look of excitement rose to his cheeks, Li Jian's original rock-like figure suddenly disappeared in place. When he reappeared two seconds later, he was already dozens of meters down, hundreds of meters away, and appeared on the edge of the sea of clouds.

Speeding and dragging, straight like the Milky Way pouring down, 100 meters in an instant, really like a projectile jumping. The speed is terrifying!

When Li Jian disappeared into the fog area a few seconds later, the figure looming in the sea of clouds was even more like driving a misty cloud dragon, like a fairyland god.

……

Following the direction where the baby's cry came, Li Jian traveled all the way, and within a few seconds, he had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, and saw the looming black shadow on a high-temperature hot spring a hundred meters away.

At this time, the black shadow was in the white fog that could not be dissolved, tossing and shuttling up and down, singing and playing.

It is Li Jian's goal here - the beetle snake!

The moment he saw the figure of the beetle snake, Li Jian stopped.

First, he squatted down silently and gently put the huge mountaineering bag he was carrying on his back on the ground. Then, Li Jian slowly stood up again, squinted his eyes, and after taking a slow and deep breath, he suddenly erupted at the moment when his eyes suddenly opened.

In just the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than 100 meters and rushed into the white mist above the hot spring.

This is Li Jian's real speed, whether it is last night's night trip or the mountaintop just now, it is far from Li Jian's limit. Not even a tenth of the speed at this point!

Li Jian's explosion was too strong, and when Li Jian's second step was taken, the fog around Li Jian's body fluctuated like a spatial impact, and then in the explosion of the air, it turned into a mushroom with an umbrella skirt backwards, which was very beautiful.

This sound, this beautiful dense fog umbrella skirt, is clearly a sign that the object has broken through the sound barrier!

It's just the second step, in less than a tenth of a second, the acceleration of just over ten meters exceeds the speed of sound, this speed, this explosive power is simply terrifying!

Under this super acceleration of hundreds of g, ordinary people have already turned into minced meat, and even most of the metal will be distorted.

In the face of such a speed raid, all defenses are false. With this kind of speed, even if it is a frontal attack, as long as the distance is not too far, there is no danger of missing.

You know, the speed of bullet discharge of an ordinary pistol is only about the speed of sound. The bullet velocity of the Barrett sniper rifle is just twice the speed of sound!

Li Jian's terrifying speed can be imagined.

This is the real 'quiet as a rock, moving as thunder'!

Under this kind of sneak attack at a speed beyond the limit of reaction, even if it is a talented beetle snake that is praised as 'walking like electricity' in the 'Jiuding' data, it can't avoid it. was grabbed by Li Jian's tail in a flash.

When the beetle snake turned its head and bit Li Jian at an incredible speed in a terrible baby howl, Li Jian reached out at a faster speed and firmly stuck the three-inch position of the beetle snake. Let the beetle snake's snake kiss only be open, but it can't bite anything.

Then, a man and a snake were entangled and fell into the hot spring beneath him.

Although the temperature of the water in this hot spring is more than eighty degrees, which is enough to boil eggs and instant noodles, and ordinary people may have to become five ripe after falling down, Li Jian and the beetle snake obviously don't care about this temperature.

Therefore, after one person and one snake fell into the water, they continued to entangle, and the beetle snake tried hard to escape Li Jian's clamps, and wanted to give Li Jian a ruthless blow. And although Li Jian thought that even if he bit himself with the poison of the beetle, at most he would be uncomfortable for a while, and it would not be a big problem. But there is no masochistic habit to try it, and it is naturally impossible to let go.

Therefore, a man and a snake stalemate at the bottom of the pool.

The beetle snake is gifted with incredible strength. But after all, it is a young snake that has only been born for two days, and its strength and endurance are far from reaching its peak. And Li Jian, as a human witch, has infinite strength and endurance.

Therefore, the moment the beetle snake was caught by Li Jian, in fact, this battle of humans and snakes was already doomed.

It is also for this reason that this stalemate has only been over for a short time.

But a few seconds later, Li Jian walked out of the hot spring step by step, stepping on the mottled bluestone pool, and the beetle snake whose head was pinched in Li Jian's hand could no longer move except for being able to wrap its body around Li Jian's arm and twist it hard.

Of course, coiling is one of the most harmful means of snakes, that is, Li Jian, who has the body of a 'human witch', can ignore this powerful beetle snake coiling, if it were another person, his arm would have been twisted long ago. Not to mention people, even if it is a thick steel beam with an arm, it won't last long under the coiling of this little beetle snake and it will have to become a freshly baked twist.

Li Jian, who was covered in **, held the beetle snake in his hand, and swayed to his backpack with a happy face. When I opened the backpack, I revealed a blue and white plastic steel box inside.

If there are fishing enthusiasts nearby, you will be familiar with this kind of box. This is clearly the refrigerator used to store the catch.

In fact, it is indeed a refrigerator, which Li Jian bought yesterday at a fishing tackle store in Haizhou City, and it is also filled with ice.

Beetle snakes are born in hot springs and are thermophilic by nature. Especially in the juvenile stage, it is extremely weak, as long as the body temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will stiffly stop growing and enter a dormant state. As long as the temperature does not exceed 10 degrees, it will never wake up, even if it is attacked or its head cut off.

This weakness does not disappear until the beetle snake enters the growth stage and is able to truly fly without feet. At that time, let alone below 10 degrees, even if it was less than 100 degrees, it could only make the beetle snake feel uncomfortable, but not let it go into hibernation.

Li Jian, who is still in the realm of 'human witch', cannot use the secret technique of taming beasts of the witch gate to subdue this beetle snake. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best way to let it lie dormant for the time being.

………………

When Li Jian stuffed the beetle snake into the refrigerator and made sure that it had really gone into a dormant state, he let go of his hand, closed the box, and stuffed the box back into the backpack.

Just as Li Jian had unzipped his backpack and was about to get up and leave on his shoulder, he suddenly heard some hurried footsteps in the distance. The footsteps went straight to the hot spring where the beetle snake frolicked before.

It's definitely a man, not a beast!

After confirming for the first time that the person who came was a human and not a beast, and the direction in which this person was going was the hot spring, Li Jian couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart. I was not in a hurry to leave, but took advantage of the fog and hid.

A few minutes later, a thin old man in ragged clothes, with a beard, eyebrows, and hair disheveled, like a savage, appeared by the hot spring where the beetle snake frolicked before that eye.

The old man stared at the spring with an anxious expression, and after walking around the hot spring, he hurriedly put a beast bone flute hanging on his chest to his mouth and blew it.

"Wow-wow-"

The sound of the flute is poignant and strange, like the cry of a baby, very similar to the joyful howl of the beetle snake before.

When the old man puffed out his cheeks for a long time, and saw that there was still no movement around him, he suddenly stopped the sound of the flute. Then, in a dry and poignant voice, he roared:

"I said how come I heard it screaming from afar, it turned out that a thief was coming! Who was it? Who stole my serpent? Get out!"

Although the old man was thin and seemed to be able to reach it with a gust of wind, his roar was extremely loud, and the clouds and mist were tumbling and echoing.

After listening to the old man's roar and thinking back to the old man's previous flute, the doubts in Li Jian's heart were finally completely solved.

Li Jian finally knew why the beetle snake, which had been extinct for thousands of years, appeared again and why it appeared here.

From the old man's bone flute and the aura emanating from the old man, Li Jian could see that the old man in front of him was obviously a cultivator who had a lot of connections with the Wumen.

Li Jian estimated that this old man may have obtained a beetle snake egg from an unknown number of years ago by chance. Then, according to the incomplete Wumen classics that have been handed down, it was found that it was an unusual snake egg, so according to the scriptures, the beetle snake egg was placed in the spring of the hot spring in front of him to hatch.

After hatching, tame it with the Witch Dao's beast control method, in order to assist its cultivation or increase its strength.

As for why 'Jiuding' didn't find this old man when he came to investigate in his previous life, Li Jian estimated that this old man must have been killed by this beetle snake at that time.

As Li Jian, who has the authentic inheritance of the Wumen and knows all the secret techniques of the Wumen, it is very clear that what the old man has is only the beast control method of the side door of the Wudao, and it is also a mutilated method.

With bone flutes, feeding, and the secret art of the end of the witch sect, it is not satisfactory to domesticate ordinary beasts, and it is impossible to domesticate the spirit beast of beetle snakes.

In one day at most, the beetle snake will be born for three days, and the most rudimentary wisdom will be born, and it will be able to get rid of the old man's control, and then it will be the time when the old man will die!
