Chapter 112: Guardian Spirit Snake
Her lips turned white, and she couldn't help but shiver.
With a sigh of relief, she prostrate herself on the edge of the cliff, reaching out and trying to reach for the snow lotus seed.
It's just a little bit close!
Pulling her arms, she almost threw all her might, and her body subconsciously leaned forward, seeing that half of her body had already been vacated.
Seeing this, Chu Tianchen stepped forward and dragged her body as she was sliding down the cliff.
"Be careful!"
Unexpectedly, the snow was too slippery, and even though he had dragged Tang Chuyao's body, the two of them still slid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The body suddenly took off, and Chu Tianchen slid down in an instant holding Tang Chuyao.
At this critical moment, Chu Tianchen pulled out the short blade on his waist and plunged it into the ice wall of the cliff hard, so that the two of them did not fall.
He hugged Tang Chuyao tightly, and there were some green tendons beating on the back of his hand holding the short blade, obviously struggling.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao hurriedly climbed a bulge with his feet and shared some weight, and the two of them came to their senses.
"Whew...... It's dangerous! ”
Tang Chuyao patted his chest with one hand, and looked up at the top of the cliff with a determined expression.
Snow lotus seeds, she is determined to win!
Gritting her teeth, she gestured slightly towards Chu Tianchen.
"Let's climb up!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianchen glanced at her with appreciative eyes, and then immediately found a foothold to support her.
Then, holding hands with them, the two of them sailed up against the wind, leaving a cave on the steep ice wall that they had climbed with the help of their blades.
After about a stick of incense, Chu Tianchen had already climbed to the edge of the cliff, but he refused to go up, and instead stretched out his hand and threw Tang Chuyao up first.
Xu was that he used too much force, and the support point under his feet instantly collapsed, and a weightless fell violently.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao turned around and grabbed him and slid to the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately, Bai Chen arrived in time and caught her in an instant, and the two of them worked together to pull Chu Tianchen up.
Regardless of being embarrassed, Tang Chuyao got up and went straight to Snow Lotus Seed.
Suddenly, just as she was within reach, two golden cobras appeared in front of her.
They shook their bodies, spitting snake letters and hissing sounds.
Tang Chuyao suddenly stopped, and was stunned in place.
"How can there be cobras here?"
The temperature on the top of this mountain is extremely low, inaccessible, and snakes will hibernate when they are cold, why do they appear here?
There were a bunch of questions in her mind, and she lost her mind for a moment, and she didn't notice the golden snake rushing towards her.
Seeing this, Chu Tianchen cursed in his heart, stepped forward quickly, and pulled Tang Chuyao over.
"What's the matter with you, you're still in a daze at this time?"
The sound of scolding poured into his ears, and Tang Chuyao's fierce spirit came back to his senses, and he glanced at the cobra that had just pounced in the air with some fear.
If she gets bitten by this, I'm afraid she will have to return to her hometown.
At this time, the cobra is half-propped up, the snake's belly is high, and the neck is propped up.
Tang Chuyao moved her foot with palpitations, widening the distance between her and the cobra.
It wasn't until she was out of the cobra's attack range that she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Tianchen also looked vigilant, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and was ready to draw the sword at any time.
Tang Chuyao on the side swallowed a mouthful of saliva lightly, and leaned forward slightly.
"Brother Snake, can you borrow a way?"
Unexpectedly, the two snakes didn't seem to hear it, and they still stared at Tang Chuyao with deep hostility.
Helpless, Tang Chuyao was so anxious that his palms sweated slightly, seeing that the snow lotus seeds were in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.
Chu Tianchen on the side stepped forward, pressed her shoulder, and pointed to one of the cobras that was crawling towards the snow lotus seeds with a suspicious expression.
"Could these two snakes be guarding the snow lotus seeds, so they will attack the pickers?"
Hearing this, Tang Chuyao also pondered, and saw that the cobra who returned to the side of the snow lotus seed circled around the snow lotus seed.
Tang Chuyao nodded with some certainty, with a solemn expression.
"I'm afraid yes, it is recorded in ancient books that wherever rare things grow, there will always be spirit beasts to stay with."
After speaking, she was entangled with embarrassment.
If it was a spirit animal, this snake didn't understand her words at all just now, and it wasn't even as good as that wild boar!
There was a burst of complaints in her heart, her face was a little gloomy, and she was stalemate for a while, and her mouth became a little dry.
It's not a way to do this and wait, how can you get the snake in the past two days?
Thinking about it, she walked to the side of the burden and took the water bladder.
But as soon as she opened the corner of the baggage, there was a tight hissing sound of a snake spitting out letters behind her.
Her heart tightened, and the hand that grabbed the burden trembled slightly, and a few red fruits rolled out.
At this moment, the two golden cobras seemed to be particularly excited, and the scales on their necks did not burst out.
They seemed to be very covetous, constantly spinning on the ground two meters away from Tang Chuyao.
The heads of the two snakes continued to rise and fall with the burden in Tang Chuyao's hands.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao suddenly understood, and she deliberately raised her burden high.
I saw that the two snakes seemed to be attracted by something, and they suddenly sprang up, and only one tail supported the ground.
These two snakes, don't they want to eat the red fruits in her baggage?
This red fruit was given by the wild boar when she asked the wild boar snow lotus seeds, is it ......
To confirm her suspicions, she reached into her baggage, grabbed a handful of red fruits, and threw a few at the cobra.
Sure enough, the cobra was instantly excited, and crawled towards the red fruit.
Seeing that these two snakes were eating with relish, Tang Chuyao was overjoyed.
As long as there is a weakness, it will be easy to do!
She smiled slyly, grabbed the remaining red fruit, and raised it towards the two cobras.
"Do you still want to eat?"
I saw the two snakes nodding their heads very attentively, the snake's head shook slightly, and it was not as scary as just now, but a little cute.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao was speechless for a while, she once thought that these two snakes were not even comparable to a wild boar.
I didn't expect it to be a spiritual animal!
Tang Chuyao continued to tempt the cobra with the red fruit, "If you want to eat, get out of the way, I really need snow lotus seeds." ”
Hearing this, the two snakes actually moved to both sides, making way for them to make a wide path.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao was excited, and threw a few more red fruits over rewardingly.
Passing over the two snakes, Tang Chuyao walked to the edge of the cliff where the snow lotus seeds grew and frowned.
Even if she didn't have the cobra's obstruction, she wouldn't be able to reach it!
In an instant, she had a bitter face, looked at the snow lotus seeds that were close at hand, and sighed.
Just when Tang Chuyao was at a loss, two cobras suddenly appeared at her feet and rubbed her legs with their heads.
Immediately, a few meandered and crawled, and they rolled up two snow lotus seeds and sent them to Tang Chuyao.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao was so shocked that she was a little speechless, and she covered the corners of her mouth in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the red fruit given by this wild boar is indeed useful!
Fortunately, she didn't treat wild boars as ordinary animals at that time, and she didn't slaughter them to make roast pigs.
After taking the snow lotus seeds, Tang Chuyao took out all the remaining red fruits in the bag and fed them to the cobra.
Immediately, she took the snow lotus seed and looked relieved.
Finally got her hands on it, and now her father's leg disease is expected to be cured.
Seeing her smile, Chu Tianchen's mood also improved inexplicably.
"Now that the snow lotus seed has been found, let's hurry down the mountain, it's too cold here."
Bai Chen on the side also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Miss Tang, you still have injuries on your arms, I'm afraid you're going to freeze in this ice and snow."
Hearing this, Tang Chuyao reacted and moved his painful arm.
She may have been so excited that she forgot the pain in her arm.
Indeed, if you have an injury, you should not stay here for a long time, for fear of chilblains.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain."
Tang Chuyao bowed slightly, carefully put the snow lotus seeds into the baggage, and went back with them.
The descent was relatively smooth, and in less than two hours they came to the foot of the mountain.
Just as they were about to rest on the spot, before their buttocks hit the ground, a group of people suddenly surrounded them.
Tang Chuyao's heart tightened, and his body stood with Chu Tianchen's back to the side, making a defensive posture.
"Who are you?"
The group of people in front of him were uniformly dressed and moved quickly, not like ordinary mountain bandits.
Just as Tang Chuyao was on guard, Bai Chen hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand between Tang Chuyao and the comer.
"Stop, misunderstanding, these two are my friends, and they saved my life before."
Listening to Bai Chen's words, the people around him gradually put away their hostility, and the anger on their faces disappeared.
"Yes, Childe!"
Seeing Bai Chen's scolding of the people around him and the attitude of the people around him towards Bai Chen, Tang Chuyao looked surprised.
"Bai Gongzi, who are these people?"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Chen laughed miserably and arched his hand apologetically.
"I'm really sorry, these are all domestic servants below, maybe they received the news of my accident, so they collided with the two."
Hearing this, Tang Chuyao relaxed at this time, and subconsciously leaned on Chu Tianchen's back.
"Tell me earlier! I thought I had met a thief! ”
Chu Tianchen also glared at Bai Chen fiercely, turned around, and naturally picked up Tang Chuyao, still with a look of vigilance.
Seeing this, Bai Chen laughed a little helplessly, and then waved his hand to disperse most of the people around him.
A spacious carriage appeared in front of them.
"Miss Tang, in order to thank you for saving your life, I want to invite you to a meal, I wonder if the girl can appreciate her face?"
As he spoke, he respectfully turned sideways and made an inviting gesture.
Without waiting for Tang Chuyao to answer, Chu Tianchen subconsciously tightened the hand on Tang Chuyao's shoulder.
"Thank you Bai Gongzi for your kindness, saving you is just by the way, you don't have to eat."
After speaking, he wanted to pull Tang Chuyao away, but Tang Chuyao stood motionless as if he had a nail under his feet.
"Chu Tianchen, are you stupid, don't you have to walk back if you don't sit in the carriage?"
Her voice was very small, only enough for Chu Tianchen to hear.
Hearing this, Chu Tianchen looked confused, glanced at the injury on her arm again, and kept his eyes cold for a while before compromising.
"All right, but you have to stay away from the white dust."
