Chapter 5: The Hooked Snake

After Shi Manman became familiar with Kunlun, he never strayed into the territory of other demon beasts as he did at the beginning. In the area where she was, there was only this hooked snake among the fierce demon beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles. Xiao Lei was lucky, and what he encountered in Kunlun were timid benos and stone vines that did not like meat. But he was also unfortunate and broke into the only forbidden demon beast territory within a radius of a hundred miles of stone vines.

Shi Manman's first thought was not how much of a threat the hooked snake was to her, but the bloody picture of Xiao Lei being devoured by the hooked snake. Her heart suddenly fell half a beat, and for a moment only a vague silhouette was left in place. The bird also anxiously followed behind the stone vine, but only followed to the stream and did not dare to go further. The hooked snake is their natural enemy, and the aura emitted by the natural enemy is an innate fear that comes from the bone marrow. It's nature, and even if they grow to like the human who is kind to them, it's no match for nature.

It stands to reason that with the speed of the stone vines, it should be able to find Xiao Lei before the hooked snake discovers the intruder. But fate is elusive even to God.

Xiao Lei followed the bloodstains all the way, the ravines and dense shrubs greatly hindered his movements, and the bloodstains gradually disappeared into the messy grass, but he did not slow down, and dozens of days of hunting life also exercised extraordinary physical strength.

Xiao Lei ran away from the bushes in front of him, and suddenly his eyes were open, and Xiao Lei saw the rolling waves of clouds and the continuous peaks hidden behind the sea of clouds. Before he had time to admire the magnificent beauty, the inertia of his body made him still maintain a state of rushing forward, and he was instantly distracted by the impact of the scenery.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Xiao Lei did not rush out of the cliff. He had fallen down a very steep hill with weeds, rocks, and a few pines and cypresses scattered in a haphazard manner.

As soon as Xiao Lei found that he couldn't stabilize his body, he reacted quickly, bowed down and rolled with his head in his hands. Xiao Lei's vision could only see the world spinning, and the pain of his body being rubbed by stones was bearable, but he couldn't control his body, and could only watch himself hit one tree after another violently. The violent impact made Xiao Lei's chest feel stuffy, and a fishy sweetness welled up in his mouth.

In the end, Xiao Lei was no longer able to protect his head, and in another violent concussion, it seemed that his head hit a hard object. As soon as his eyes went dark, he didn't know anything.

Maybe a moment, maybe half a day, until drops of cold liquid splashed on Xiao Lei's cheeks. Xiao Lei's consciousness gradually recovered from the darkness, and he opened his eyes extremely reluctantly. He found himself lying on a large inky blue stone, half of his body seemingly unconscious, and the other half of his body falling to the edge of the stone, soaked in a shallow puddle.

The blood flowing from the head injury entered his eyes, and Xiao Lei's eyes were red. The surrounding scenery was no longer visible, and only some faint outlines could barely be seen. He shook his right hand, and when he found that he still had the strength to spare, he tried his best to support his body, trembling slightly.

Xiao Lei had never felt that a simple action would take so much effort, and it took a long time to regain some physical strength after sitting up. He examined his body carefully, and there was no problem with his ribs and leg bones, except for a few bruises and a few scrapes on the rest of his body. But the bones of his left hand seem to be broken, and he can't use force, and he hurts when he moves.

Xiao Lei, who was soaked with blood loss and half of his body, trembled his teeth and looked around. He seemed to have fallen into a mountain stream that was almost dry, and the height on both sides of the mountain stream was beyond Xiao Lei's current body to climb. And as he rolled down, he lost his bearings and didn't know where he was.

Ignorance of Kunlun, coupled with the monsters that may appear at any time, made Xiao Lei feel a trace of despair. Xiao Lei was annoyed by his recklessness, and hoped that Shi Manman would find that he was missing. But the stone vines that Xiao Lei knew, if she found that she was missing, she should not look for it, but go back to the enchantment in a daze.

Xiao Lei once again confirmed his situation, and his blurred vision made Xiao Lei's heart even more irritable, and he tried hard to turn himself off the boulder, washing his eyes with his right hand that could still move, until the red world gradually became clear. Dead trees and broken branches can be seen everywhere in the mountain stream, Xiao Lei found a branch of moderate length and thickness, and staggered towards the upper reaches of the mountain stream with difficulty with the pestle.

How could Shi Manman have thought that Xiao Lei fell into the mountain stream, and as soon as she crossed the other bank, she found blood stains on the ground. After Mingrui's sense of smell sniffed out that the blood did not belong to Xiao Lei, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she began to search along the bloodstains. But Shi Manman couldn't suppress the image of Xiao Lei being devoured by the hooked snake in his mind, and he thought that he would never be able to eat the food made by Xiao Lei again, and he couldn't see his busy appearance. There was an incomprehensible sadness in her heart.

Shi Manman anxiously pursued the blood stains and forgot to hide his breath, and quickly shuttled through the woods, and suddenly there was a whistling sound behind him, Shi Manman did not dodge in his heart, turned around and grabbed a slippery and cold thing backwards. Shi Cranberry steadied his body and looked at the object in his hand, which turned out to be a tail draped in dark scales, and a sharp barbed bone extended from the end of the tail. Shi Manman gripped the other man's tail with one hand, and his free other hand reached out to grab the barb and break it. The owner of the tail felt threatened and jerked hard. Pull the tail away from the stone vine's hand, and don't forget to use the hook to insidiously attack the opponent's dead corner.

The body of the stone vine was a hard stone, and even though she was not afraid of the hook's attack, the sleeve of her arm was still broken, but only a shallow white scratch was left on her skin.

When the other party saw that the blow missed, he immediately distanced himself from Shi Manman. Shi Manman's eyes were fixed, and he was suspicious. She had seen the body of the hooked snake from a distance, at least seven to eight feet in size, covered in black scales, and the eyes of the yin owl exuded a fierce aura. But the creature standing in front of him, spitting out a letter and ready to attack at any time, although it looks like a hooked snake, its body is not many times smaller, and it looks like it is less than two feet long, and it is as thick as a calf. How can other members of the Hooked Snake's territory be allowed to enter? But this is not the time for Shi Manman to be cranky, Shi Manman just wants to get rid of this "roadblock".

Shi Manman thought about it and urged the spiritual power in her body, and the air around her was squeezed by the spiritual power and crackled. Where did the little hooked snake see this formation, and the murderous aura that was frightened by the momentum of the stone vines immediately disappeared.

Before she had time to escape, Shi Manvine flashed to the side of the little hooked snake at a very fast speed, raised her hand to grab it, and its tail was grabbed by Shi Manman's hand, and her hand pulled the tail of the little hooked snake and quickly tied one knot after another. The little hooked snake writhed, opened its mouth in pain, and even screamed: "Ah! It hurts! Let go of me! Otherwise, I'll tell my mother and let her swallow you in one bite!" ”

"Your mother? Who is your mother? Shi Manman just wanted to control the other party's actions and not let the other party get in the way of his search for Xiao Lei. But when he heard the other party's words, Shi Manman suddenly changed his mind.

"My mother is the king here!" The little hooked snake said proudly and condescendingly looking at the stone vines, as if warning the other party of the fate of offending him.

"Have you ever seen a man coming?" Ignoring the arrogance of the little hooked snake, Shi Manman asked again after having the answer he wanted in his heart.

"People? How could there be someone in Kunlun. What's more, why am I telling you? The little hooked snake spat out the letter, and his tone was still arrogant.

"What about your mother?" Shi Manman asked coldly.

"Why did you tell you?!" The little hooked snake stubbornly turned its head and ignored the stone vines.

The stone vine carefully looked at the small hooked snake in front of him, it did not have the slender and gloomy eyes of an adult hooked snake. Instead, his eyes were round and wide, and his eyes shone with tears of humiliation threatened by the stone vines. The scales on his body had not yet turned into armor, and they were cold and lubricated to the touch.

"It's okay if you don't say it." Shi Manman said slowly, his wrist flexibly turned, and another knot appeared on the little hooked snake's body.

The little hooked snake has lived for a hundred years, how could he have suffered such a grievance, and he cried in pain, and he did not forget to threaten the stone vine in his mouth.

"Stop howling!" Shi Manman slapped the flat head of the little hooked snake and shouted.

"I'm going to let my mother eat you......" was still muttering, but he didn't dare to cry anymore.

"Have you thought about it? Before I thought about it, I would tie you to a tree, and then I would find it myself. "The stone vine grabbed the little hooked snake and tied it to the trunk. Seeing this, the little hooked snake shouted, "I'll take you!" I'll take you! "If those weak foods see themselves tied to a tree, and such a loss of dignity is spread, then how can they show off their power in the future? What's more, take this goblin to see her mother, and when her mother sees that she has been wronged, she will definitely help her take revenge. The little hooked snake thought, and could only nod obediently.

Shi Manman put down the little hooked snake with satisfaction, let it shrink its shape, and then lightly touched it on the seven inches. The little hooked snake suddenly lost its ability to move, but its consciousness was still clear. It was in a hurry, thinking that the stone vines were going to be bad for it. But when she saw her wrapping herself around her wrist, she relaxed and showed the direction for Shi Manman.
