Chapter 44: The Snake Demon Clan
Although Wang Lung had the intention to stay in this completely strange and interesting town for a few more days, he also understood the importance of the task, so when Zhang Mingyi told the two to leave immediately, he had to reluctantly continue to move forward.
Then he understood how unreliable Zhang Mingyi's words were, and he thought it was a very close distance, but he walked for half a month.
Along the way, he gradually became familiar with Zhang Mingyi, and he was very helpless about his rough and unbearable temperament: on the one hand, he did not reject this kind of person, and even liked it a little - when you only have characters like Zhang Tailai and Jiang Xue around you, it is impossible to have the possibility of being lively; on the other hand, it is difficult for him to imagine that such a person will be Zhang Tailai's brother, and this kind of personality can actually join Long Yin?
"Why, did someone say that people in Long Yin must be cold and rigid and unkind?" Zhang Mingyi seemed to see through his mind again, and said with a smile.
"I didn't say that...... Wang Lung shook his head: "But at least you have to be more accurate, your so-called Sangyou Mountain, which is not too far away, we have been walking for half a month, and we haven't seen a shadow yet." ”
Zhang Mingyi smiled: "Half a month's journey is far away? What a child who has never seen the world......! When you grow up, you can go around on your own, and then you will know the vastness of the world. ”
Wang Lung heard the hesitation in his words, but he didn't dwell on it, and only nodded.
"Okay, this time it should not be too far, the mountain in front of it is Sangyou Mountain. It's just that this mountain is dangerous, stretching for hundreds of miles, even if there is news that there may be demon clans living here, it is not easy to really find out. ”
"What's more, there are only three of you and me, but we definitely don't have the ability to confront the entire snake demon clan head-on, so it's better to be careful and act in secret. ”
Wang Lung and Jiang Xue nodded, but they quickened their pace and walked towards the mountain.
Zhang Mingyi's words are very accurate, the entire Sangyou Mountain is indeed vast and boundless, as soon as you enter the mountainous area, it is gloomy everywhere, and the unknown ancient trees are towering to the sky, and it seems that there has been no human trace for a long time.
Wang Lung asked a passer-by a few words, and the man waved his hand and said, "It is said that there are monsters in this mountain, which are very vicious, so no one dares to live within a radius of a hundred miles, and few people go up the mountain." Only some brave hunters and the like occasionally rush to fight some wild beasts, but it is said that they often go and never come back...... Why are you guys asking about this?"
Zhang Mingyi smiled, thanked the old man, and said to Wang Long and the others: "It seems that it is true that there are monsters here, but I don't know if it is a snake demon clan, and I don't know if it is a place to live or a scattered demon." Let's go, let's go into the mountains and have a look. ”
The three of them entered the hinterland of the mountain, slowly getting deeper and deeper, but they didn't notice any traces of the existence of monsters, only some ordinary beasts and wild fowl, but they would not be taken seriously.
In the dense forest, it was stuffy and hot, and Wang Lung endured the boredom and searched carefully, hoping to find some clues.
Suddenly, Na Xue snorted softly, attracting the attention of the other two.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Mingyi came over and glanced at Jiang Xue, and asked with a slight frown every day.
"There's a corpse here. Jiang Xue brushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground and revealed the half-exposed corpse, and suddenly a foul smell also spread, and Wang Lung couldn't help but cover his nose.
"It seems that it has been dead for a while, and it should be a hunter who went up to the mountains to hunt, but since it has not completely decayed, it will not be too long...... There are no traces of being bitten by wild beasts, huh?" Zhang Mingyi suddenly found something and shouted.
Wang Lung hurriedly said, "What, what did you find?"
Zhang Mingyi smiled: "No, he actually has a lot of silver in his money bag, what do you bring silver for when hunting, it's really ......" He smiled as he put the silver into his pocket.
“...... Do you take the dead man's things too?" said Wang Lung in amazement.
"Shhh......hh
Wang Lung also felt it immediately, and there seemed to be a hissing sound among the fallen leaves, as if something was crawling over the fallen leaves and rustling.
Zhang Mingyi's expression immediately froze, and the state of Hang'er Langdang disappeared immediately, and his palm was horizontally protected in front of him, blocking in front of Wang Long and Jiang Xue.
It's just that the voice came from Wang Long Jiangxue's direction.
Wang Lung was also awe-inspiring, slowly raised all the dragon qi, and placed it on the palms of his hands, ready to release his own attack at any time;
However, after the vines were removed, a little girl came out from the depths of the bushes, who looked no more than seven or eight years old, dressed in red, with big eyes, blinking and looking at several people, as if she was very curious.
"Who are you?!" Zhang Mingyi hurriedly turned around and asked sharply at the little girl.
The little girl in red seemed startled, but immediately asked, "Who are you, why did you trespass into our territory?"
"Where are you?" Wang Lung also wondered.
"That's right, our territory, the entire Sangyou Mountain is our place, you people are all bad people!" the little girl said, crossing her waist.
Wang Lung glanced at Zhang Mingyi inquiringly, and the latter shook his head, indicating that he couldn't see the clue, so he had to say, "What about your family, where are they all, and who are they?"
"Naturally, it's the one who wants your life!" Suddenly, seven or eight voices came from all directions at the same time, and immediately several figures rushed out of the woods, surrounding Wang Lung and the three of them.
Zhang Mingyi smiled: "Oh, it's really a trap, it's terrible!"
Wang Lung said helplessly: "Now that you have found out, didn't you say that the Zhang family's induction can not only see through other people's minds, but also predict danger?"
"Probably...... This kind of situation is not dangerous to me at all, I didn't even feel it!" Zhang Mingyi smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"You're still laughing when you're dying!" said a man who looked like a leader in the midst of the siege.
"Daddy!" the little girl cried out with joy and threw herself into the man's arms.
The leader glared at the child in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever trespasses on the forbidden land in the dense forest in the mountains, kill!"
When the rest of the people heard this shout, they immediately shouted and killed Wang Long and the others.
When things came to this point, there was no need to say more, Wang Lung breathed a long sigh of relief, and a thunder sword in his hand suddenly lit up, slashing towards the attacking enemy.
Jiang Xue also pulled out a dark sword and broke into the crowd.
Zhang Mingyi seemed to be very leisurely, just watching the two of them fight, frowning or approving from time to time, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward.
However, Wang Lung could also feel that these besieging him were only equivalent to opening up three or four dragon veins, and Jiang Xue and his own were more than enough to deal with.
The leader looked more and more frightened, originally thinking that there were only three people, and they were two young boys, and they didn't need to do it themselves. I don't want to be just the skills of these two teenagers, it's so good!
Although Zhang Mingyi seemed to be idle, he was always staring at the leader, and when he saw that the other party frowned, he gently let go of the child in his arms, and then he was on guard.
"Drink!"
The leader's punch slammed out, smashing into Jiangxue, who was closer to him, and as soon as this punch came out, it exploded like a scorching sun, shining brightly, illuminating the entire dark deep forest.
Zhang Mingyi's eyes flashed with coldness, his body disappeared in an instant like lightning, and suddenly swept across the air, and with a bang, he grabbed the opponent's fist and drove his whole body to hit the big tree next to him.
With a bang, the entire ancient plant completely exploded and turned into a cloud of wood chips.
The two looked at each other, crossed fists, and spoke at the same time.
"People in Dragon City?!"
"The Snake Demon Clan?!"
