Chapter 497: The Origin of the Sacrificer
After walking around the mountains and forests, they didn't find anything, but they did find some very precious herbs, but at this time, the little golden snake that had been floating ran out.
"What's going on? Could it be that there are snakes in the vicinity too? ”
Yan Shuang looked at the direction in which the little golden snake left and was very puzzled, but they had only looked for that place just now, and they didn't find anything.
"Most of the things that can attract snakes are blood and carrion, and I think that some animal in that place must have been injured, or encountered some danger, and it is in danger."
Yan Long glanced at Yan Zhi and planned to follow the direction of the little golden snake, specifying that it was much better than them blindly searching here.
Bai Yu and Yang Yanxi saw his thoughts, and also left, so they didn't have any clue to look for the python in the mountains and forests, so they could only look everywhere for the time being.
The little golden snake is petite, and it is extremely fast in this mountain forest, and it disappears as soon as it slips through the smoke, and now even if they want to follow, there is no way.
"Let's look separately, maybe there's something around here."
Yang Yanxi glanced at the surrounding environment and spoke, it was very quiet in this neighborhood, there was no sound, it stands to reason that it should be the sound of some birds and beasts.
"Okay, gather here in the evening, if you encounter any danger, you can go, everything will be done when we are together, don't act rashly."
She told her that she didn't want any of them to get hurt or anything.
Several people nodded when they heard this, and then they went everywhere, and the surroundings became extremely quiet, but they didn't know that there were a pair of cold eyes that had been watching their every move, but whenever they saw that something was wrong, they immediately had the intention of swallowing them into their stomachs.
Yan Long Yanshuang turned around and found nothing except for a small cave, and strangely, there was nothing in the cave inside, but it seemed that the surrounding environment seemed to have snakes infested nearby.
There was still a lot of flesh and all kinds of blood stains around, and for a while they didn't know what the blood stains were, so they had to give up the search and continue to search.
She walked for a long time and did not reach the end, but the surrounding environment was unusually beautiful, but there was no trace of the snake, but she saw him right in front of her.
"Yan Xi, have you found anything here?"
She went over to ask, only to see what he seemed to be looking at on the ground, but it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary.
"No, but you see that the things here seem to be poisonous, and the grass around them has withered, although it is only a part, but it is enough to prove that there is a highly poisonous thing here."
He informed her of his discovery, and then looked along the surrounding plants, but found some bloodstains, but unfortunately there was nothing special in front of him.
"That's true, but it's dark now, let's go back too, and come back tomorrow to check, it seems that we can't find any trace of the little golden snake."
She took a few looks, only to see that they were all highly toxic liquids, but to be on the safe side, she didn't touch them directly with her hands, and used a small bottle to collect some of them.
Seeing this, he nodded, this day in the mountains and forests did not find any trace of the python, but it was found anyway, and it was naturally possible to find it if you took your time to investigate.
"White girl, Yang Gongzi, it's so strange here, there are not a single snake, but those sacrificial people attracted so many snakes nearby last night, where are those snakes hiding."
Yan Shuang saw them coming back and hurriedly asked, he had already studied with Yan Long, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.
"Look at it again tonight, those villagers trust the people who sacrificed very much, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to do it, so we can only find a way to figure out what they are doing."
He listened and was silent for a while before replying, all the clues must have known more from those who sacrificed, and now they still have a long time, and they are not in a hurry to do so.
"That's true, let's go back first."
She listened very much to agree, this matter still has to be considered in the long run, mainly because they don't know the origin and purpose of those sacrifices, those sacrifices are very skillful, and it looks like they have been here for a long time.
With their abilities, they can't shake the status of the hundreds of people who sacrifice in the hearts of the people, and naturally they won't act impulsively, so they can only take their time.
Seeing this, Yanlong Yanshuang nodded and returned directly the same way, but he didn't know that the little golden snake followed their footsteps from a dark place and went back, but he liked them very much.
"Oh, you're finally back, I thought I was saying goodbye like this, and I'm still wondering if something was wrong."
The uncle smiled when he saw them returning, and then put dinner on the table, but it was all coarse tea and light rice, and there was no meat at all.
There is a distance from the capital, and the family members who don't have a carriage will naturally not go to the capital, so they can only find a little food nearby to pass away
Over the years, the villagers here have come here like this, and they have long been accustomed to such a light life, and there are not many fish in the nearby rivers, and basically they can't catch any fish.
"Uncle, isn't there a market around here? Or is there some rule here? ”
Bai Yu looked at the food in front of him and asked, when they came back, they happened to pass by the door of those people, and they happened to see the dishes they were eating, and they only felt very strange.
"It's not for nothing, in recent days, those sacrificial people will come, so we can only eat fasting and chant the Buddha to bless ourselves with longevity, and at the same time avoid causing trouble, therefore, now every household is like this, and you are also coincidental, for the time being, we can only grieve you."
Uncle explained that he also knew this, but these were not particularly big things for him at all, and he had long been accustomed to what he had eaten over the years.
"So that's the case, uncle, do you know where these people come from, and why are they here?"
Yang Yanxi listened to the words and then asked, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly felt a black shadow flashing, but when he turned around, he didn't see anything.
"I don't know exactly where it is, but I heard that it seems to be from Xitang Town, and it's a priest with strong spells, so I don't know if it's true or not."
The uncle thought carefully and answered, and there were some doubts in his heart that they asked about these things, but then he thought about it, they must have been curious about these things when they first arrived, and it was normal.
"Thank you, uncle, we all know this."
She listened to Yan smiled and looked at the uncle, and then ate it unceremoniously, although those coarse tea and light rice did not taste good, but at the beginning they also came over like this.
It's just that life is getting better and better now, and basically I don't eat these light and non-nutritious things, but I haven't eaten it for a long time, and now I taste it really has a different flavor.
Uncle took one look at it and turned away.
