Chapter 256: The Snake's Intent
Qiu Yan looked at the darkness behind him, thinking about the shadow that looked like a man and a snake, and couldn't help but feel creepy, everyone didn't dare to stop anymore, and walked more quickly and vigilantly, almost as soon as there was any wind and grass, they would speed up, so that the physical exertion would increase exponentially, and the previous high-intensity consumption was obviously not able to fully recover in such a short time, and the sense of relaxation after the rest had already quietly collapsed just now, and it was extremely hard to walk, Li Mowu was panting like a bellows, and Qiu Yan almost followed this voice to move forward.
At this time, Qiu Yan was still a little relieved in his heart, because all the way over, every time there was any movement, something would always happen, and this time he was able to bypass it, obviously his luck had improved, which had never happened before. However, as he walked, Qiu Yan suddenly faintly heard the sound of rustling in the forest in front of him, intermittently, as if a ghost was whispering.
Everyone froze there, Xijiang immediately pressed everyone one by one to squat down and hide, Li Mowu gasped and said. "Damn, old man, how did you lead the way? Why did we go around again? ”
Xijiang looked around, his cheeks gradually distorted, and said. "We didn't come back."
Everyone immediately looked around, and there was indeed no sign of what had been there, and the surrounding woods were very unfamiliar.
Suddenly, Xijiang seemed to think of something, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice. "Damn, they're not chasing us, they're outflanking."
"Outflanked, these animals will do this?" Li Mowu's cold sweat fell. "Master, I've finally seen a lot."
Xijiang, Dao. "I said earlier that these snakes are not normal, these are definitely snake charms, and they are all about to become essences."
"Your girl is pure feudal superstition!"
Hearing the movement in front of him, the group of snakes seemed to be gradually approaching, but the canopy of the tree was still as if it was solidified, and the sound was like an invisible sound of death pressing towards everyone, Li Mowu's hairs stood up, and he asked Xijiangdao. "Old man, old man, think of a way!"
Xijiang's eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character pattern, and he said. "Where can I deal with it, in old times these were all gods, and they had to sacrifice boys and girls to the spirits."
Li Mowu squeezed his eyebrows and said. "Reliable, where can I find a boy and a girl at this time? There's not even a place in these people! Don't fix those who don't, let's get out, we have to let this group of brutes know that the martial master who fought his grandmother is the ancestor, and play peek-a-boo with them to see who outflanks whom. So saying, he pointed in a direction and asked the people to follow him.
Qiu Yan listened to what Li Mowu said, and suddenly something flashed in his mind, and after taking two steps, he remembered and grabbed him. "Wait, I don't feel right."
Li Mowu looked at Qiu Yan blankly, waiting for his next step. "There's something strange here, you think about the people of Miaojiang who breed poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, he deals with these things every day, when he is hit, he has almost no ability to defend himself, and he dies at once, in fact, these snakes are too easy to kill us, they don't need to do so many tricks, just shrink in a certain bush, bite us when we walk by, we have a few lives gone, why do it need to be so complicated."
"What do you mean? Illustrate the white point. Li Mowu asked.
"They have countless opportunities to kill us outside the cave, but we are all safe and sound, snakes are different from people, they do not make low-level mistakes, these snakes do not use the method of plotting, but now they are engaged in this bluffing trick, maybe their purpose does not want our lives."
Li Mowu shook his head and said. "It doesn't make sense, they don't want our lives, so why do they bite to death the Miao Jiang people who are almost hiding under the same roof with them? Maybe they're tabooing us about something right now. ”
Qiu Yan hesitated for a moment and said. "Actually, at the moment when the cockscomb king snake attacked, it was not the Miao Jiang people who attacked, but Xiao Li, just by mistake."
The two of them looked at each other, and Li Mowu was surprised. "Is it because Miss Xiaoli is a woman?"
Qiu Yan nodded. "It is very likely that because of this, these snakes are behaving too perversely, we can't infer their intentions with the way ordinary animals behave, I don't think this is outflanking at all, they have other more subtle motives behind this behavior, and we may fall into an even more incomprehensible situation if we act rashly."
Li Mowu lowered his head and pondered, and said. "You have a point, so what should I do? Should it be hard fighting? ”
"I think we should stop acting rashly and find out their intentions first, otherwise we will be too passive."
"We're not snakes, how can we find out the snake's intentions?"
"We can all analyze people's intentions, not to mention animals, people who lose in the hands of animals often underestimate the intelligence of the other party, we should look at these snakes as people, if it is a group of people, when we come in, kill a person, and then do not kill us, but in this way, keep our nerves tense at all times, what purpose do you think they have?"
Everyone fell silent, but when they saw Li Mowu frowning, they hesitated. "So are they all female snakes, coveting our beauty?" Qiu Yanxin said that when he was still trying to joke, he found that Li Mowu was thinking about this seriously.
Xijiang was silent, a little hesitant between his eyebrows, and his eyes looked at the black tide of the shady trees, and said. "I feel that these snakes are really pushing us to go somewhere, that they are correcting our direction, and that's how it feels like some animal is driving its prey into an encirclement."
Listening to Xijiang's words, even Qiu Yan felt too incredible.
