The man thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, but I haven't heard of a black snake hurting people anywhere else around here except us." ”

Ye Liqi nodded, glanced at the secluded grove in front of him, turned to the man and said, "I know, you go back first." ”

The man nodded, looked at Ye Li's back, hesitated, but turned around and left quickly, how could he do what the awakened couldn't do.

Slowly approaching the grove, Ye Lingqi twitched his nose slightly, and sure enough, he smelled an unpleasant fishy smell, which was mixed with the fishy smell that the snake had on its body and the blood that had been rotting for a long time.

Of course, Ye Lingqi would not think that this was the blood flowing from the black flower snake.

The woods are not big, but at night the surrounding prey is enough for the black flower snake to fill its stomach, but what Ye Lingqi doesn't understand is why the black flower snake only hurts people and is not like the traditional method of hanging the prey first and then swallowing it.

Years of combat experience have taught Ye Liqi that you should never underestimate any of your enemies, and even a mad dog walking on the side of the road may suddenly burst out and bite you at any time.

Walking into the woods carefully, Ye Lingqi looked up at the yellowed leaves on both sides, and in mid-October, he had already touched the tail of late autumn, and it was common for the leaves to wither and yellow, but the leaves on the ground that were still thick green did not seem to fall off naturally.

Ye Li's gaze swept over the green leaves that had fallen on the ground.

Slowly moving forward with his feet raised, his black leather boots landing on the soft ground made of dead branches and rotting leaves without making the slightest sound.

A gust of wind blew in, and I listened intently, but there was no sound other than the "whoosh" of the wind blowing the leaves.

Ye Lingqi closed her eyes and stood in the middle of the woods, motionless, letting the wind blowing in the distance spread her unique scent throughout the grove.

The snake is a very territorial creature, especially the kind of snake with super aggressiveness, although the black flower snake was just an ordinary non-venomous snake before, but since awakening, it seems to have become completely different from the previous docile nature, which can be seen from those who have been attacked.

Pheromones are different for everyone, and they may only be smelled by professionally trained people, but other than that, even animals can feel them.

Ye Liqi wasn't sure if the Black Flower Snake would be angry because of her deliberate provocative behavior, and even took the initiative to leak her body to settle accounts with her, but she could give it a try, she believed that as long as there was the slightest movement around, it would definitely not hide from her ears.

It didn't take long for Ye Liqi to estimate that she should be able to stand here for half an hour, but there was still no movement around her, her footsteps moved slightly, Ye Liqi made a futile appearance, but her heart was tense, because she knew that snakes were creatures that couldn't help but have a strong sense of territory, and even patience was unique, if you confront it in the wild, if you don't move, it will naturally not move, until it thinks that you are not in danger and will hide it again.

Just as one of Ye Li's feet was about to step out of the forest, she heard a sudden noise from the depths of the forest, like a dead branch on a tree falling on a leaf, and like something blown by the wind and gently hitting the trunk of the tree.

Ye Li's other foot suddenly retracted, and he turned to look behind him, which was also the place where the sound was made.

But to Ye Li's surprise, the place where the voice came from before was quiet again, not only that, but she also felt that the fishy smell that had been hovering on the tip of her nose seemed to fade away.

With a sigh in her heart, Ye Liqi turned around and walked out of the grove, and never looked back, she knew that this time she took the initiative to leak her figure, and now it is estimated that the black flower snake has already known her existence, the snake is an extremely intelligent creature, Ye Liqi never denies this, some snakes are extremely vindictive, it may sneak in your yard, until a month later, it suddenly jumped out and bit your neck.

This time she lost her chance, and the Black Flower Snake would only be more careful, so she could only wait for the night when the Black Flower Snake was hunting.

Only then will the black flower snake's habit of nocturnal activity make it take the initiative to attack Ye Lingqi.

Ye Liqi took a deep breath, and while walking towards the opposite street, she thought in her heart, she didn't understand, why didn't the Black Flower Snake attack her, it was definitely impossible to be afraid of her, could it be that she really wanted to wait until the night to fight again, or what other reason?

Walking across the street, Ye Liqi looked at the black gate of the deceased old lady's house, remembered the sadness on the woman's face before, and did not go to the door, but found a big stone to sit there not far from the surrounding place facing the grove.

It seems that I don't know when I will be able to go back tonight, Ye Liqi thought as he looked at the time on his personal terminal.

On the streets, the traffic came and went, and the sound of horns gradually converged to form a huge sound, which made people dizzy.

Ye Liqi sighed lowly, went to the small supermarket next door to buy a bottle of mineral water, and sat back on the big rock, drinking water while thinking about the task for a while.

After sitting on the street for most of the afternoon, Ye Liqi leaned his back against the gray-white wall behind him, and counted down the time while looking up at the tail of the sun gradually going down.

At sunrise, the bright sun shines on the body, always giving people a sense of hope, and at sunset, the sky is getting dark, and people walking on the street can't help but speed up a little when they think of the hot meal at home and their beloved family.

Ye Liqi threw the empty mineral water bottle in his hand in the garbage bin at the door of the supermarket, got up and walked across the street.

At this moment, the red light happened to be on the wide intersection, and Ye Liqi watched the endless flow of vehicles on both sides stop only a few meters away from him, giving up the wide road to himself, and suddenly had a very unique feeling in his heart.

But then Ye Liqi returned to reality, and the hurried pedestrians on both sides were much faster than Ye Li, and it didn't take long to pull Ye Liqi at the end.

In fact, it's not that she's special, she's just an ordinary one in the crowd, Ye Liqi smiled lightly.

The last shimmer of sunset shone mercilessly withdrew from the earth, just brushing Ye Li's smiling cheeks.

In the car that slowly drove out on the left, a man's gaze fell on Ye Liqi's back along the slight smile, chic and wanton, ordinary and unique.

After a while, the man's head turned slightly, and he looked down at the personal terminal on his left hand: "Now there are more and more awakened people in the capital. ”

The assistant next to him responded: "In addition to the capital, there are also people from other places, I heard that it is how many top-notch awakened people are selected by each city to join our Beijing Institute, which is also one of the conditions for the capital to fund the establishment of the local ability institute at the beginning." ”

The man sneered, his broad back leaning back in the spacious black leather chair, which did not look narrow at all: "." ”

The assistant laughed twice.

The red hair in the passenger seat in front of him turned his head to look at the man who was squinting and pretending to sleep: "Big brother can't say that, you are the symbol and pride of our Jingsuo, not to mention anything else, isn't it just you, a fifth-level awakened person, in the whole capital." ”

The man opened his eyes and looked at the red hair, and the red hair continued: "So the boss, you think you don't look down on the people, we think it's a big help, hehe, besides, now those old awakened people in the capital are all standing in line, and now there is suddenly an extra batch, doesn't the general mean to let us extract resources from it." ”

As soon as the red hair finished speaking, the assistant beside the man shook his head: "It's not right for you to say that, although it is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the ground snake, but it is said that among the first batch that came up this time, there are indeed many capable ones, and there are still some of them, which were in the fifth district before." ”

The man coughed lightly, looked at the scenery outside the window casually, but unexpectedly recalled the back of the woman he saw just now, but said lightly: "That has a hairy relationship with you." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, not understanding what kind of evil wind their boss was smoking today, but both of them had a tacit understanding and kept their mouths shut and sat up straight.

Walking into the grove, Ye Liqi was not as cautious as during the day, whether it was her or the Black Flower Snake, they knew each other that this fierce battle tonight was inevitable.

Ye Liqi slowly pulled out the black dagger on her waist, and with a slight pull and twist of her left hand, it became a very suitable 56 standard three-edged [army] stinger that she had used.

Walking forward slowly, Ye Lingqi focused most of his attention on the dense canopy around him.

There is always a lot of wind at night in the capital, which seems to cool all the warmth in the city at once.

The surrounding branches continued to shake under the caress of the night wind, like a snake crawling on it, Ye Lingqi took a deep breath, simply closed his eyes, and judged the location of the black flower snake with his ears and battle intuition.

The wind became less and less, and gradually, there was a moment of silence in this noisy grove.

At this moment, Ye Liqi moved, the toes of his left foot were slightly right-handed, his right foot retreated behind his left foot, and at the same time he suddenly lowered his waist, his left hand was propped up on the soft ground, and the three [ridges] in his right hand swept directly over.

The night wind blew again, Ye Liqi leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, and something on the three [ridges] [army] thorns in his right hand was constantly dripping downward, and he touched his right shoulder, and a not deep but long bloody wound appeared there.

Ye Li's eyebrows furrowed tightly, this is not like a wound caused by a snake's fangs, so what could it be, a monster?

Immediately, Ye Liqi denied his speculation.
