Chapter 331: Thrilling
Ten thousand snake sumo, this is really a scene that tests the strength of the heart.
If it weren't for the various scenes of countless killers around her, Guichen really doubted whether he would be able to hold the candle in his hand now.
But fortunately, he is no longer the boy who only felt sorry for himself in Lishan.
Before lighting the candle, she had already explained what to do, Guichen took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, and quickly melted the bottom of the candle with sword fire according to what Ying Baoyue said, jumped high, and pressed it on the thickest branch of the big tree beside her!
With a plop, the boy fell into the swamp, and despite being splashed with muddy water, he looked up sharply, only to see that the pale yellow thing called the candle was really firmly fixed to the branch as she said!
And just then a hand grabbed him.
"Let's go!"
Guichen took the hand and slid low past the base of the tree, and at the moment of sliding, his face rolled slightly, and the corner of his eye caught the extremely terrifying scene.
Countless snakes grazed over their heads like poisonous arrows and pounced on the candle on the branch, and the thick tree where the two of them hugged together was instantly engulfed by the dense wriggling poisonous snakes!
"Hiss......" Guichen's scalp was numb and he gasped, and grabbed the hand of the girl who was pulling him in front of him, and the next moment the soles of his feet finally touched the real place except for the roots.
It's a stone.
They finally reached the edge of the waterhole.
"The effect of the snake incense is only a quarter of an hour, we must hurry," Ying Baoyue let go of Guichen's hand and looked at him, "I am on the left and you are on the right, there are four pieces for one person, and there are scattered stones near the boulder to settle on, so let's look for them separately." ”
Guichen nodded, and hurriedly jumped to the side of a boulder on the right closest to him, drew his sword out of its sheath, lit the sword fire, opened his eyes wide, and began to search in the crack of the stone.
The next moment, he remembered that Ying Baoyue was a water cultivator who couldn't light a fire, and turned his head to look at the figure of the girl by the boulder on the other side not far away, "Mingyue, do you need me to light a torch or something for you?" ”
"No," Ying Baoyue's voice came from afar, "I can see that you are careful with fire, it is easy to attract insects." ”
See it...... Guichen was slightly stunned when he heard this, looking at the girl who had finished checking a boulder not far away, how did she see it in the dim light where she couldn't even see her fingers?
There's never a shortage of mysteries in her. Guichen smiled bitterly, took out a piece of paper from his bosom and opened it, with a picture of medicinal herbs drawn on it.
It was before entering the forest that Ying Baoyue painted a portrait of his schisandra.
Guichen carefully looked at the sketch in his hand, and it was only a few strokes temporarily, and it was already much more detailed and realistic than the illustrations in ordinary medical books. Such a vivid medicine diagram he had only seen in the more expensive edition of the Pharmacopoeia that the disciples of the Northern Han Pavilion had taken out and displayed.
There are actually two editions of the pharmacopoeia, with and without pictures. It is said that the original version is with pictures.
Of course, the ones with pictures are much more expensive.
He was poor and only bought without pictures, and he didn't have the opportunity to see the real pharmacopoeia that was all the rage among the nobles of the family.
But although he couldn't afford it before, he now has a picture of medicine that is not much to be desired.
Or painted specifically for him.
A smile appeared at the corner of Guichen's mouth, and the appearance of the woman when she was drawing appeared in front of him. If it weren't for the last time to investigate Wang Tusheng, he wouldn't have known that she was actually good at painting.
Guichen's eyes were slightly deep.
The portrait of Wang Tusheng taken out by Ying Baoyue in Huo Mansion was drawn by herself.
When I saw that woman draw such a portrait based on memory alone, the young people who had seen Wang Tusheng in the National Teacher's Mansion were stunned.
If it hadn't happened so many things later, she would have stayed in his small courtyard at the beginning, and she would have been able to make a living by selling calligraphy and painting and hunting...... Guichen thought quietly.
But at this time, he was suddenly stunned, why did he suddenly think about this at this time? Guichen hurriedly shook his head fiercely, forcibly putting all his attention on the stone in front of him.
But after a careful search, he was disappointed to find that the stone did not have the appearance of the medicinal herbs painted in his hand.
Guichen took a deep breath and jumped to the second stone, still finding nothing.
The third piece is still the same.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Guichen's forehead, and he wiped it the back of his hand and jumped to the last boulder on the right, which was larger than the previous three and looked more bizarre.
He gritted his teeth and searched inch by inch, and just when his mood was extremely nervous, Guichen's eyes suddenly lit up!
In the weeds of a large black crack in the stone, there was a grass with reddish leaves and fruit like red beans.
That's it!
Guichen was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately stretched out his hand to the grass, but at this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Return! Be careful! ”
Be careful? It was then that he finally realized another voice in his ears.
It was an extremely subtle hissing sound.
Hiss?
Guichen tilted his head stiffly and met a triangular head for a moment.
A pair of vertical pupils were staring at him, glowing a faint green glow in the dim light of the fire.
There's one more!
In the bottomless crack at the edge of the small crack where Schisandra grows, there is actually a poisonous snake entrenched!
Just as he reached out to grab the schisandra, the poison shot out of the crack where he was hiding, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, opening a bloody mouth towards his arm.
All this happened so quickly that Guichen's mind went blank.
Knock knock.
The world was so quiet that only the sound of his heart beating could be heard, but the moment it jumped out, he should have been dead.
Guichen had never felt so close to death.
If you know it sooner, you should have ...... it sooner
"Return!" However, at this moment, with this exclamation, Guichen's pupils shrank.
The speed at which the poisonous snake pops out is extremely fast, and the speed at which he draws his sword against it cannot catch up, and the speed at which a person uses a tool cannot catch up.
And at this moment, in an instant, an arm that was completely different from the color of his arm inserted horizontally, blocking between him and Shekou.
The arm was slender and white, as if it had no strength.
But Guichen knew that this was not an arm that could not be restrained.
This is a pair of hands that can do anything and give people countless surprises.
No one is faster than her in this moment.
But why would she do it! Guichen didn't know what his mood was, and endless anger suddenly rose in his eyes, but before he could desperately push her away, the scene in front of him completely widened his eyes.
Just when Ying Baoyue's arm was in front of his arm, the poisonous snake that was about to bite suddenly froze!
The next moment, as if he had seen something terrible, he bounced back violently and wandered away in a panic.
Fled......
Guichen looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
"It's good to catch up."
The sound of the woman's breathing becoming rapid for the first time sounded in his ears, and the sound was like a breeze blowing through his heart, and Guichen turned sideways in a daze, looking at the girl who was close at hand, holding one hand on the stone and panting slightly.
There was a scratch on the back of her hand, and there were faint beads of blood. It can be seen how anxious she was when she rushed over just now.
Guichen's mood was extremely complicated, and he bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry, are you okay?" ”
The scene just now was so thrilling that he seemed to have his soul choked by his throat, and he only felt that he was certain to die.
But I didn't expect her to rush over, or in that way.
"This sentence should be me asking, are you okay?" But instead of blaming him for being careless, the girl who hurried in front of him asked him so.
"Thanks to you, I don't have anything," Guichen shook his head and stared at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression, "It's just ...... What's going on here? ”
Thinking of the scene just now, he was still terrified.
Although he escaped, he didn't understand.
That is.
Why did that venomous snake suddenly retreat?
