Chapter 365: The Legend of the Dragon Descending Wood (4)
A bucket-thick analeus, with its head held high, its mouth wide open, its forked tongue wiggling flexibly, collecting molecules in the air, is carefully discerning its prey. Saliva drips fell on the top of the dead vine trees, giving off a strong fishy smell.
"Patriarch, watch behind you." Sakuragi Hanamichi pulled out a short knife from his waist and was about to rush forward after speaking.
"It's okay, it's just a big meal." The withered vine tree didn't even open its eyes, and said softly.
The conversation between the two caused air waves, making the forest snake sense a hint of danger. Once the prey is bitten by him, the huge body will be entangled to death, using the huge muscle torque to crush the prey's bones, compressing the heart to stop beating.
In the midst of this lightning, the withered vine tree raised its hands and grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the forest snake respectively, and the man also stood up, his body flipped, facing the big snake.
The forest worm was in pain, and its more than 10-meter-long body wrapped the dead vine tree tightly and began to shrink.
The withered vine tree took a deep breath, and its body swelled and swelled, and its originally thin body became as thick as a bucket.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was surprised, isn't this the most clever body shape change in ninjutsu? Unexpectedly, the patriarch actually learned all the ninjutsu that had been lost for many years.
The scales of the forest snake are covered with sensory receptors, and it can feel the heartbeat and pulse of its prey at all times, but today it is a little strange, because no matter how hard it tries, the heartbeat of this prey does not change in the slightest.
The forest worm began to hesitate because it did not eat living creatures, at least it had to stun its prey before eating.
At this time, the withered vine tree's hands also used their strength, and the upper and lower jaws of the forest worm were painful, and they had reached the point where they could no longer be divided.
Depend on! It seems that this delicious meal is not easy to eat, and it is still comfortable to go back to the cave. The forest snake shook its head vigorously to get rid of the dead vine tree, but it was so simple.
The withered vine tree shouted, spread his arms apart, and stabbed it, and forcibly split the head of the forest snake in half, and the blood of the forest snake sprayed his head and face.
The body of the forest snake slowly straightened, and after a few twists, it was completely lifeless.
"I'll go wash it, and you can pull off the skin of the forest worm and roast it to eat." The withered vine tree commanded.
……
After two days of arduous trekking, the withered vine trees and cherry blossom path finally came to a place called Sleepy Dragon Valley. The clothes of the two had been torn into strips of rags, and their skin was covered with scarred scars, and they had obviously suffered a lot.
On the top of a small hill, Sakuragi Hanamichi pointed to the canyon shaded by trees at his feet and said: "Patriarch, below is the Sleepy Dragon Valley, just go down to the bottom of the valley and walk a few kilometers up the canyon to the place where the Dragon Descending Clan lives, and the Dragon Descending Tree grows there." ”
"It's good that you can find such a hidden place, and I thank you on behalf of the Iga family." The withered vine tree was very excited, as long as the dragon descending wood was in hand, it could fight against Ying Long's divine power, kill Xiao Jian, without the blessing of Ying Long's divine power, the day of the extinction of the Jiahe family would come.
"The patriarch is serious, for the prosperity of the family, even if I am broken, I will not hesitate to do it."
"Okay, I've written down your words, let's go down." The withered vine tree is very satisfied with Sakuragi Hanamichi's attitude.
"Patriarch, if we want to go down, we can only rely on ropes, I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find a way down, and I almost fell off the cliff." Sakuragi Hanamichi said as she pulled out a bundle of rope from her backpack.
The rope is tied, and each of them ties a professional belt for downhill around their waists to let the rope pass through the downhill.
The withered vine tree walked to the edge of the cliff and leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, the cliffs here were steep, and the cliff face was so smooth that it was impossible to climb.
The withered vine tree clapped his hands and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi, "Let's go!" With that, he jumped off the cliff......
The dragon descending clan living in the Sleepy Dragon Valley is actually a small branch of the Huaxia clan and belongs to the Chiyou tribe. Thousands of years ago, after Chi You was defeated and killed, his people fled in all directions, and some of them fled to the place of Trapped Dragon Valley.
The leader of the time himself stumbled into a cave by mistake, and after three days in the dark, he was presented with a paradise of flat land, babbling streams, and even more rare was the fact that it was surrounded by towering cliffs, and it was impossible to enter the valley without the cave. It's a great place to escape the chaos of war and escape from the enemy.
This discovery made the leader very happy, and he hurried back to find his people and led them to the valley.
But when the large group entered, they found that in this valley was actually a kingdom of snakes. All kinds of big snakes, small snakes, and poisonous snakes are infested in groups, and many people in the tribe have lost their lives due to snake bites.
Because the snake is also called the little dragon, this valley was replaced by the tribe as the Trapped Dragon Valley.
The clansmen asked to leave this snake valley, but the leader disagreed, he thought that no matter how many snakes and insects there were, no matter how poisonous they were, they were not as vicious as the enemies outside, and the snakes and insects could be driven away, but the enemy wanted to exterminate them.
The tribesmen had no choice but to find a way to subdue the snake plague. However, after many years, the tribe has not been able to find a cure to eliminate the snake plague.
Just when people were struggling to do so, the head man discovered an interesting phenomenon, the poisonous snake in the Valley of the Trapped Dragon never entered the secret cave, even if people put the snake at the entrance of the cave, the snake would quickly escape, and after a long time, the snake would be paralyzed and weak, and then die. The head man thought that there must be something in the cave that snakes and insects were afraid of, so he found a few young and strong people, and everyone entered the cave with pine torches.
With great effort, people finally found a tree in a forked hole that they had never seen before. The tree grows in a fork with an open skylight, through which sunlight shines through the round skylight opening and rainwater penetrates. I don't know how many years this tree has grown here, but now it is full of thickness.
The head man felt that this tree must have a repellent effect on snakes and insects, so he ordered someone to cut down some branches of the tree and bring them out of the hole, and found a few big snakes to test.
The leader was overjoyed, so he ordered the tree to be removed, but the tribesmen couldn't get the tree out of the cave alive with a lot of effort. In desperation, the head man had to think of another way.
It was so coincidental that on this day, the leader couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the few branches that had been planted in the ground and had already dried up had some tender green shoots. He ordered more branches to be cut down and planted in the soft ground, and from time to time he watered and weeded.
Sure enough, a month later, these branches all sprouted new shoots and turned into small saplings.
The leader led his people to plant these saplings in all corners of the valley to keep away snakes and insects.
Soon, the snakes and insects in the Trapped Dragon Valley were extinct, and I don't know where they ran away, or did they burrow into the ground?
The tribesmen were overjoyed, so they named the unknown tree the Dragon Descending Tree, and the head man proudly called his people the Dragon Descending Clan.
Who knew that the good times would not last long, just a year after the snakes and insects were extinct, the dragon descending trees in the Trapped Dragon Valley died one after another, and even the mother tree in the cave gradually dried up. The people of the dragon descending clan tried their best to pray to the heavens constantly, and finally saved one in the village, and under the careful care of the people, this dragon descending tree slowly grew up and became a thousand-year-old tree.
The patriarchs of the dragon descending clan in the past generations have regarded this dragon descending wood as the sacred tree of the clan and have taken care of it. Every night, the young people of the clan formed several teams to take turns to take care of them, and they were not allowed to cut down the branches of the trees.
This system has continued to this day and has become a tradition of the dragon descending clan......
