Jingwei Village is located in the middle of a mountain col. Surrounded by high mountains on all sides, directly in front and behind, two lion's mouths face each other in the air. The mountain, the calcareous mountain, is very similar to the two mountains in front and behind it. The so-called lion's mouth is a cave.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two caves that the two mountains are more similar, and both caves are called "Lion Rock". Along the way to the west, a narrow river on the right rushes endlessly, and its water is clear and visible.

Between the mountains, the fields are crossed, and the people who work are everywhere. The environment is quiet and indisputable, but it is really like a peach blossom forest.

When I entered the village, it was already afternoon. In the small village, fortunately, there is a small restaurant, and after a little food, I asked the locals about the snake.

When it comes to the burning snake, some simple farmers are talking eloquently, adding fuel and vinegar to some things that have happened before, as if they are all talking about fasting.

And when asked where there was the scorching snake, everyone replied in unison without hesitation: "Storm Rock!" ”

Chongfeng Rock is located under a high mountain more than 500 meters away on the left side of the Lion Rock in the front mountain. There are dense trees and weeds everywhere, because over the years, the villagers of Jingwei Village have gone from poverty to well-off, so that no one likes to go in and out of this mountain anymore.

Besides, on this mountain, even a few years ago, there were people who were bitten to death by scorching snakes, and now no one dares to touch the moldy head.

When asked about these situations, Meng Que remained silent, and did not say that he came to burn the snake, but just said that he was just curious. He was also afraid that these simple-minded villagers would talk behind his back because of the power of the snake, and scold himself for being a "short-lived ghost" or something.

After eating and resting for a while, Meng Que began to quietly head towards Chongfeng Rock. Jingwei Village is not very big, and it is not difficult to find the Chongfeng Rock, just when the previous few old men pointed fingers to describe the Chongfeng Rock and the Burning Snake, Meng Que had already written down the location of the nameless mountain and the Chongfeng Rock.

After being far away from people, we came to the mountains. But I saw green bamboos everywhere, and the wind was blowing. Meng Que first came to the foot of the former Lion Rock, and then walked more than 500 meters to the right. According to the villagers, the location of the storm rock is in the lower right corner of the nameless mountain, and it looks like a wisp of water running through it at a height of 50 meters.

He searched carefully, and in the midst of the overgrown weeds, he spread his fingers, and swept away, whether it was weeds or wild trees, they broke off one after another, crisp and neat.

After searching for more than an hour, he finally found the location of the cave.

It was under a high mountain rock, in the midst of a moat, and when the weeds were cut down, I could see half of the mouth of the stormy rock. According to the villagers here, the mouth of the storm rock is only the size of a bell, and only one person can enter, and it must be a thin person, and a slightly fatter person cannot squeeze in.

Meng Que did not rush into the cave immediately, but observed around the entrance of the cave for a while. The cave is exceptionally dry, and the wind blows incessantly from inside the cave to the outside of the cave, and the wind is quite strong, like blowing an electric fan. It's just that the electric fan blows cold air, and here it blows hot air.

One of the peculiarities of this cave is that in spring and summer, the cave is unusually humid and often adds streams. In autumn and winter, the stream is cut off and strong winds blow, and the cave becomes extremely dry.

Because of this, snakes, insects, rats and ants are most common around this hole. Just when Meng Que had just cut this place open, he unconsciously shot two brown square flowers and a snake with a triangular head with the strength of a thousand mang's fingers. This snake does not have a long body, but it is very venomous, and it is said that after biting a person, it will die in five steps. It is precisely because of this name that it gets the name of "five-step snake".

It's already early winter, and the average snake has long been hiding and preparing to hibernate. But there is an exception here, and there are snakes outside the cave, and there are still snakes in the cave.

Meng Que was at the mouth of the cave, kneeling down and looking out. It was very easy and natural at a glance, and the black bats were scattered upside down on the rock wall, and in some cracks, in the stone recesses, several poisonous snakes were curled.

Some Meng Que can call out their names, but some Meng Que have never seen them since they were young and have never heard of them. Even though he couldn't name them, he knew they weren't scorching snakes. The snake is very small, and its body is red and fiery red, as long as it can be seen, it should be very eye-catching.

"Damn, there are so many snakes, how do you get in?"

If you want to catch the snake, you have to go to the cave to find it. But this cave is only the size of one person, and if you want to enter, you must crawl, and your body rubs the ground and the rock wall. It's impossible not to alarm those poisonous snakes and bats, and if you bite it, you'll definitely be lying here.

Meng Que played a small drum in his heart, he was not afraid of snake bites, but afraid of poisonous snakes spraying poison. Because of the existence of "dragon sleep", poisonous snakes can never bite into their own flesh and skin, but the poison is different, the venom is sprayed out of their mouths, in the form of a mist, whether it is skin contact, or from the respiratory system, can be poisoned.

After weighing it again, he first spewed a fire and burned all the bats and poisonous snakes at the entrance of the cave. Then he gritted his teeth, used the "snake shadow phase", and got into the hole as fast as he could. Enduring the feeling of nausea and fear, he shuttled quickly, and entered more than ten meters from the entrance of the cave to the inner cave.

The inner hole is as big as the space of a house. The crampness is frightening, but the space is so large that it makes people feel weird, so I turned on the flashlight and fixed it on the high rock. In order to ensure that he could catch the scorching snake, Meng Que bought dozens of flashlights, and almost bought all the flashlights in that small shop.

At this moment, all the flashlights were turned on, and there were dozens of lights, which shone all over the day.

At this time, Meng Que discovered that there were more than a dozen corpses left in the cave, which were piled up together. Small creatures such as bats and cockroaches are everywhere, and only bat feces are the thickest on the ground. It smells fishy and makes people feel so uncomfortable.

In the silence, there was a slight sound in a crack in the rock, and Meng Que pricked up his ears, he had already heard it. hurriedly dodged over, and without saying a word, he immediately swept away with a thousand mang's fingers. I saw blood flying, a black poisonous snake was cut in two, the snake that had just been cut into two pieces, still alive, it desperately drilled into a small hole in the ground, leaving half of the body and tail slightly twisted in place, very weird.

This kind of black poisonous snake, Meng Que knows what kind of snake it is, it is the strange snake that is abundant in YZ. Although this Jingwei village is not under the jurisdiction of YZ City, it is very close to YZ, and it is not unusual to have this kind of snake.

Quietly waiting, ten minutes, twenty minutes......

There was no sound in the cave, and even if a snake appeared, it was not a burning snake. It seems that scorching snakes are rare, and as rumored to be, such snakes are easy to smell and difficult to see. Although few people who see it can survive, due to its rarity, it is a comforting luck to see it.

Two hours passed quickly. Meng Que was a little skeptical that there was a scorching snake here, thinking that just waiting like this was not a solution, so he began to think of a way.

It is said that the snake is different from ordinary snakes in that it likes dryness and heat......

Yes, dry and high-temperature. This cave is full of bat feces, and it has long become a damp place, and throughout the entire cave, only the space of more than ten meters long at the entrance of the cave is a dry place.

So, if there is a snake here, it should be at the mouth of the cave, not inside the cave?

When he came in from outside the cave before, he found that except for snakes and bats near the entrance of the cave, there was nothing in the eight or nine meters long space behind it, and it was also the driest place.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately turned on three flashlights and slowly approached the entrance of the cave.

After walking for three or four meters, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in the pile of rocks. Meng Que hurriedly stared at the past, and occasionally saw a flash of red light, and in just a moment, he disappeared into the pile of rubble.

"Huh? A red snake body? Could it be a burning snake? ”

This discovery made Meng Que excited like a little rooster with hormones. He rushed forward with a flashlight, and did not dare to pick up the stones with his hands, so he used a wooden stick to move the stones piece by piece where the red figure disappeared.

After only four or five bricks were dialed, the red snake shadow appeared again, and it was extremely fast, crawling out, poking its brain, rolling up, and hiding in the rubble on the other side.

This time, Meng Que saw it completely clearly, this was definitely a scorching snake. The body is red, and the body is a little bigger than an earthworm.

In the excitement, a few more stones were removed, and the snake crawled out again. It is extremely nimble and cunning, and it is no wonder that people who have seen it before have lost their lives nine times out of ten. It's just too fast to crawl.

But, it's fast, and so is Meng Que. The first two times, Meng was unprepared, so he let it take advantage of the loophole and hide in the stone pile. At this time, if you are on guard early, how can you allow it to escape again?

Seeing its red snake shadow appear, Meng Que waved a wooden stick, knocked it over, hit the snake's head, and killed it with a stick.

"Hehe, it seems that I was lucky to catch you in just one day."

Meng Que laughed, wanting to pick up the corpse of the burning snake, but suddenly, the stone under his feet loosened, and another red snake shadow appeared, this one was much larger than the previous one, I am afraid that it is the thickness of someone's thumb. As soon as Meng Que came, not only did it not abscond, but pounced on it and bit it when it opened its mouth.

"Wow~~~"

With a shout, Meng Que retreated violently, and during this period, he also used the "Monkey King Phase" as an auxiliary. While retreating, the wooden stick in his hand waved again - bang!

Hit the snake in the body, and then the stick struck again. hit the snake seven inches above, the skin and flesh were rotten, and he died decisively.

Quickly picking up the corpses of two scorching snakes, one large and one small, Meng Que didn't dare to stay here any longer, and once again cast a snake shadow and flew out of the hole......
