Chapter 40: The Snake Spirit
Approaching the end of the year, the entire land of Guanzhong is filled with strong festivities. For Jieli Khan, who was thousands of miles away, he deliberately came to send warm enthusiasm, and the soldiers and civilians of Datang were very moved. As soon as Jieli Khan was mentioned, they gave a thumbs up and praised "Owl criticism!" ”。
With the spread of the deeds, Li Kuan, who rode the tiger to the south, could receive the warmest welcome wherever he went. The most important thing is that all the people who have met him can get some benefits. The better ones are his freshly hunted game, or a few kitchen knives and axes and other farm tools. The worst one, that also has a few catties of salt. Under this all-round and multi-incentive, Li Kuan's reputation is spreading throughout the territory of Datang at an unprecedented speed.
For Li Kuan, these are all small things that are easy to do. At present, he is more concerned with hunting down the beasts that have been hurting and eating people. During an unintentional hunt earlier, I found that as long as it was a beast with a history of cannibalism, it would gain a faint sense of merit after killing it. This unexpected surprise made him overjoyed. After tossing for months and traveling tens of thousands of miles, how can I not be happy when I can finally confirm a path of merit.
It's a pity that, after all, the ability of humans to fight against beasts has long been perfected. Although the livelihood of the Central Plains has withered in recent years, so that those beasts have an opportunity to take advantage of, but the Central Plains is the Central Plains after all. Anyone who dares to eat people will soon be spontaneously organized by the people to eliminate it. In this environment, although Li Kuan is very active, he can only occasionally catch a few missed goods.
Li Kuan chased down a giant snake suspected of becoming a sperm along a certain river with strong ice. He found this guy two days ago, and the local people have been worshipping him as a god. From time to time, I have to offer a few poultry and other contact feelings, but once this guy is hungry, he will still yell at people. Over the decades, many children have been swallowed by it. The local government and the people all hate him, but this guy is too cunning and vindictive, and he has turned himself into an evil god.
As soon as Li Kuan heard this, he was interested, and he was determined to destroy this thing. I thought I would have to wait until the beginning of spring to do it, but who knew that this guy didn't need to hibernate, and as soon as he heard the sound of gongs and drums, he came straight out of the river and wanted to eat offerings. Then he was naturally beaten by Li Kuan, but he escaped with his life, and then dived into the river and escaped all the way.
Because the river was frozen in winter, Li Kuan somewhat underestimated this guy, so he was taken advantage of by it and ran all the way. However, now Li Kuan's divine consciousness is nearly two hundred meters, and if he escapes his life, he can't get rid of Li Kuan at all. In addition, it is winter again, and the snake creatures are slow to move, so they can't run much faster at all. It's just that there is a buffer of ice on the surface of the river, and every attack will be dead, which gives it a chance to breathe.
It has been embellished to prevent it from getting away, and the big snake can only sneak under the ice, and does not dare to come out at all. Two consecutive days of high-intensity attacks had already made it fearful. If he could surrender, I'm afraid this guy would have surrendered a long time ago. It's a pity that Li Kuan, who can't search the world for the sake of merit, how can he let it go.
Near noon, Li Kuan carried the big snake to a small river south of Chang'an City. At this time, Li Kuan, stepping on a pair of ice blades, walked on the ice like flying, and shook the gold rope at the ice from time to time. The head of the rope, which was as strong as a spear, grazed the head and body of the snake again and again, forcing the snake to follow the river all the way to the east.
After two days of pursuit, Li Kuan also somewhat figured out the habits of this thing. With such great effort, Li Kuan not only wanted to kill it, but also tried not to hurt its skin and not let this good material suffer any losses. Combined with the behavior of this guy devouring fish and turtles in the river in a panic all the way from last night to now, he already has several hunting plans.
was distracted as a bait, and suddenly sensed a killing intent coming at him from afar. Li Kuan's heart was shocked, and his divine sense quickly withdrew from the big snake to inspect it. But it's a feathered arrow!
Although this arrow is fierce, after all, it has flown far away, and it is caught in the palm of your hand as soon as you catch it. Which one is so kind? Dare to shoot me?!
"There are assassins! Come on! Protect the king! A shouting came from the front, and Li Kuan was confused when he heard it, yes, it was the arrow that your kid shot himself, and he came to play thief and shout to catch a thief, am I really blind?
Before he could respond, a row of soldiers in armor stood up on the small bridge in front of him, and several of them were holding bows and arrows to face him from a distance. However, at a distance of fifty meters, Li Kuan's consciousness swept away, and he immediately found a few gorgeously dressed little guys hiding behind the soldiers in this row.
Oh yes! It turned out to be another prince! Li Kuan was a little embarrassed, this is special, Li Tang's prince is his own family. It's a shame to have this kind of oolong incident! Careless, patronizing the pursuit of snake spirits, this lesson must be learned.
Just as he was pondering how to open his mouth to cover up this matter, his consciousness swept back, and suddenly found something else. If you look closely, those little kids are really in the middle of the small bridge that is no more than three meters wide, with a few barbecue grills playing picnics! At each end of the bridge, there were several attendants, who stopped pedestrians on both sides. What surprised him even more was that in the open space south of the bridge, there was a scalper who had been skinned and deboned, and next to the ox, there were several villagers with miserable faces kneeling.
What a deal! Li Kuan didn't think about any wording, and shouted loudly: "This king Li Kuan, who is in front of you?!" Get out of here! ”
The soldiers were frightened, but they refused to get out of the way. At this time, a little kid flashed out from behind the soldier and shouted at Li Kuan: "You are playing below, this king is playing on the bridge, why do you let this king get out of the way?" You are the prince, and so is this king! This king is still your uncle! ”
After discovering that it was his own person, Li Kuan's divine sense had been re-embellished with the big snake. found that this guy actually took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly speed up, and he didn't care about talking to him at all, he accelerated, stepped on the ice and rushed to the small bridge like flying.
"Stop him! Stop him! "The little kid didn't know what he was doing, and thought he was going for himself. I was trembling with fright, but I still didn't want to hurt my face.
Several soldiers could only stubbornly raise their bows and arrows in their hands: "Your Highness, please stop......"
Li Kuan said angrily: "You bastards! I'll settle accounts with you when I come back! ”
With these few words, Li Kuan directly accelerated, rushed under the bridge, and chased east with a big snake. The golden rope in his hand struck continuously, forcing the speed of the big snake to slow down.
At this time, the gang on the bridge understood that there was something else to dare to love! It's just that the two princes still refused to let go, shouting to watch the excitement, and urging the guards to roast beef. In and out of the words, there is a meaning of appreciating Li Kuan as a juggler. The group of entourages who listened were very upset, but unfortunately they were soft-spoken and did not dare to persuade more.
Li Kuan's big snake speed slowed down, shouted Da Fei, Xiao Fei, and handed over a few things he had prepared to them to go to the front to arrange. I chased the big snake and increased the intensity of the attack, so I had to make it not think about it.
Da Fei held a big rock and smashed a hole in the ice in front of him, and Xiao Fei threw two chickens with traps buried in his hand. The two bloody chickens were slowly rushed to the east in the water, and at this time, Li Kuan's hand loosened slightly, and the big snake seized the opportunity to rush forward and quickly escaped.
Not surprisingly, the big snake that escaped quickly caught up with the two chickens and swallowed them one by one, and the speed gradually increased a little faster.
Li Kuan, who was chasing after the ice, waited for the two baits to enter his stomach, took out the remote control and pressed it gently, and the two bombs buried in the chicken carcass detonated violently.
Bang! The ice surface was slammed into a long crack, and the big snake struggled to throw it out of the ice, twisted its body, opened its hideous mouth, and rushed towards Li Kuan with the last strength.
Li Kuan was also a little surprised, what the hell, it didn't kill like this?! Of course, it was impossible for him to go to the front with this dying cargo, and quickly drew two figures under his feet and quickly retreated to the west. The big snake's mouth suddenly erupted with blood arrows, which were mixed with a large number of internal organs, and it was obvious that the power of the two bombs was also considerable, and the damage was not light.
In just a dozen seconds, Li Kuan had already retreated to the vicinity of the small bridge. Seeing that the big snake was desperately chasing after him, he couldn't run away by himself, and let this guy go to plague the fools on the bridge. I had to call Da Fei and Xiao Fei to come over to help, and shook the gold rope in his hand, and the sleeve directly put the big snake in the sleeve, and threw the other end upward, Da Fei and Xiao Fei swooped and grabbed firmly, and both spread their wings and pulled upward.
Squeak! In a harsh sound of ice grinding, the big snake was pulled to a halt, but refused to give in, and struggled to pull it downward. Da Fei and Xiao Fei's figure slammed in the air, and fell upside down from the air like an arrow, steadied his body dangerously, and pulled up again......
In this way, pulling and pulling back and forth, the big snake is only a cartilaginous reptile after all, and it is on the ice, and its whole body loses the direction of force after it is completely separated from the river. The whole body was pulled into the air, and it gradually floated higher.
Li Kuan saw the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, and slid past the big snake in a sprint. A long knife appeared in his hand, and he cut off most of the snake's head, and blood gushed out, spilling the entire ice surface red and dazzling.
The struggle of the big snake became more and more intense, and at this time, Li Kuan had already turned over on the south bank. Took the golden rope handed over by Da Fei and Xiao Fei, grabbed it, ran forward at full speed, pulled the big snake to the south bank of the small river, ran along the river beach for dozens of meters, wrapped the rope around a big jujube tree, quickly wound it a few times, whistled, suddenly jumped upward, grabbed Da Fei's giant claws, and flew into the air.
The giant snake that had half of its head cut off struggled to chase Li Kuan, but helplessly found that it was tied to a tree, its whole body shook suddenly, and countless large and small stones were swept around along the river. When the dust cleared, I saw that the giant snake had been tightly wrapped around the jujube tree, and the tighter and tighter it became, and the big jujube tree, which was enough to be surrounded by two people, let out a low roar.
It was only at this time that the people on both sides of the small bridge realized that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had just cleaned up a giant snake! God, such a hard old jujube tree is about to be blown up by it! This is when the head is about to fall off, so how terrible is it when it is alive?!
Da Fei descended slowly and placed Li Kuan in the open space at the south end of the small bridge.
Looking at the sad-faced villagers, Li Kuan asked coldly, "What's going on?" ”
Thump! A man dressed as an attendant knelt on the ground: "The prince spares his life!" ”
