Chapter 23: Wuxi Man

As Su Wei entered the depths of the water hole, the light shining in from the outside gradually disappeared, and then, the water hole began to extend downward. Soon, Su Wei dived underwater.

In the darkness, he took out the crystal beads from his arms, and in an instant, the surroundings lit up. Su Wei drew his iron axe and slowly walked along the water-filled tunnel.

Soon, three forks in the road ahead. The one on the right was faintly glowing.

In fact, when Su Wei learned that the guards of the Hou Mansion gave him realgar powder, he knew that the purpose of Zhang Ao's trip was to catch snakes. Of course, this serpent is not a good kind. Therefore, Su Wei planned to sprinkle realgar powder in the water and leave.

But now, he's a little hesitant.

He wanted to go into the glowing fork in the road on the right.

What if there are any treasures in there? Maybe there will be exercises.

You must know that in those legends, it is said that where there are great snakes, there are often good things.

Anyway, go in and have a look.

In the end, Su Wei made up his mind and walked towards the passage on the right. It's not that others are stupid and ignorant, but since the Xuan Qi entered his body that night, his whole person feels much stronger than before. Especially with the iron axe in hand, he has a feeling of opening a mountain with an axe.

He walked through the passage for a while, and found that the passage began to extend upwards, and slowly, the water became shallow. And the light in front of me is slowly becoming clearer.

Finally, Su Wei saw something that glowed.

Seemingly, it's an egg.

The egg was the size of a pumpkin and was placed on top of a clump of hay.

At the same time, the eggshell is slightly transparent and shiny.

Su Wei approached the side of the egg and found that there was a shadow of a small snake inside.

"This snake egg is really not small. Su Wei thought that the eggs were so big, so it could be seen that the snake that laid the eggs was definitely a huge thing. He didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurried back into the waterway and quickly swam back to the three-way crossing.

Then, Su Wei opened the oiled paper bag in his arms and scattered the realgar powder inside in the water.

Soon, the water here and there changed color.

Su Wei went upstream, and he estimated that the big snake was hiding in the other two waterways. It's better to go out as soon as possible, so as not to be entangled by the other party.

When it surfaced, there was a light from the hole in front of him, and Su Wei stuffed the crystal bead into his arms and walked out.

However, when he was about to get out of the hole, a huge force suddenly grabbed his body, and then dragged him out violently.

Su Wei suddenly fell to the ground.

His right hand quickly reached for his waist.

But it's too late.

Two large knives were already on his neck, and at the same time, a cold voice came from his ears: "If you move, you will be cut off your head." ”

Soon, Su Wei's hands were tied behind his back, and he couldn't move. Someone tugged at his hair and pulled him up, leaving him half-kneeling.

At this time, Su Wei saw the situation around him clearly.

For a while, there was a chill in my heart.

......

Su Wei never expected that in the short time he entered the water hole, Zhang Ao's group would suffer heavy casualties, and all those who survived were tied up. Fortunately, Xiaoyu was fine, but he was also tied up. Xun Song's legs were broken at the knees, and the wound on his chest was bleeding nonstop, and the enemy didn't bother to tie him up and let him lie on the ground.

Looking at those big men who were armed with broadswords, carrying longbows and long swords, shirtless, and painted with strange patterns on their faces, Su Wei quickly remembered a barbarian tribe living in the Wumeng Mountains, Wuxi Man.

Wuxi Man got its name because the cottage is located in the middle of five streams.

Decades ago, the three barbarians rebelled and killed the people of Liyue. The king sent the chariot general Shen Qingzhi into the mountains to encircle and suppress. Shen Qingzhi fought bravely and was good at strategy, and successively pacified Yuanchu, Dog and Sheep Man, and Wuxi and Three Barbarians.

Father Su told Su Wei about this matter, and at the same time, Father Su also talked about the characteristics of these three barbarians. Among them, Wuxi Man likes to smear patterns on his face to pray for the barbarian gods to get extraordinary power.

In recent years, although there are still a small number of barbarians in Wumeng Mountain, these people are very honest, and most of them exchange game for food. Therefore, many people thought that the barbarians who had rebelled back then had been killed.

But now it seems that Wuxi Man must still have remnants.

"Is the bronze python in there?"

A Wuxi barbarian with chest hair and an extremely sturdy look walked up to Su Wei and asked.

"I didn't see it. Su Wei shook his head.

He wants to break the rope out of the way, and then let the little fish manipulate the hoop to kill. It's just that this rope is made of black yak cowhide in Wuximan, which is very tough, although Su Wei has enough Xuan Qi in his body, he doesn't know how to luck, and he can break it for a while.

He said he didn't see it. The questioning Wuxi barbarian said to a black-robed man standing under a tree in the distance. The man's whole body was hidden under the black robe, and Su Wei couldn't see the other party's face clearly.

"Then kill these people and wait slowly. The black robe's voice was a little hoarse.

"Please, don't kill me, my dad can give you a lot of money. At this time, a noble child cried.

The previous scene had already scared him stupid.

Originally, after Zhang Ao and the others waited for Su Wei to enter the cave, they began to arrange mechanisms around them, intending to capture and kill the three-striped giant copper python in one fell swoop. But suddenly, sharp arrows shot out of the dense forest, killing several people in an instant.

Then, a group of half-naked barbarians rushed towards him with swords.

Xun Song immediately stepped forward to stop him, but unexpectedly, a black-robed man quietly appeared behind him, and slapped the back of the opponent's heart with a palm, instantly knocking the worship of this Xuanping Houfu away. When Xun Song landed, a barbarian stepped forward and cut off his legs. Xun Song was defeated, Zhang Ao and the others were the opponents of the black-robed people, and in the blink of an eye, they were captured or killed, and no one escaped.

"I don't scarce your money. The Wuxi barbarians who questioned Su Wei walked up to the noble children who begged for mercy and said with a cruel smile: "Remember, my name is Meng Jie, and I am the leader of the Wuxi barbarians. ”

After saying this, Meng Jie cut off the other party's head with a knife.

At the same time, the other Wuxi barbarians began to kill the remaining captives.

Zhang Ao watched his companions fall down one by one, trembling all over, but he was the Hou Ye after all, and he didn't want to beg for mercy. And, is begging for mercy useful?

Su Wei was very anxious when he saw this, and tried his best to break the rope, but he couldn't do it for a while.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Wei with a dull expression. She wanted to move the ring, but it was around Su Wei's wrist. And Su Wei's hands were tied...... The hoop can't come out.

Su Wei sighed, blaming him for being too cautious, unwilling to hand over the iron ring to Xiaoyu, worried that the other party would use it indiscriminately. Well, now life has come to an end.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm a woman, I can bear you children, please. ”

Shi Wei, who was hit by an arrow in her left shoulder, watched the heads fall to the ground, frightened and discolored, and said without words.

When Meng Jie heard this, the long knife pointed at Shi Wan and said, "Then leave this girl behind and get it to the village to make fun of everyone." ”

Shi Wan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

As long as she can survive, she can't care so much. But Meng Jie's next sentence made her almost faint: "Chop off her legs so that she doesn't escape." ”

At this time, a Wuxi man also walked behind Su Wei, raising his knife and preparing to fall.

Xiao Yu looked at this scene, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then, a long sword lying on the ground jumped.

"Hiss......"

Suddenly, a shrill sound came from the water hole.

Then, a large snake head poked out of the hole.

"Three-striped giant copper python. ”

In the distance, the corners of the black-robed man's mouth curved slightly.
