Now this situation is to call the sky not to call the earth and the earth not spiritual, you can only rely on yourself, Gao Lan took a deep breath, and led the horse to swing aimlessly in this secluded and gloomy forest.

Gao Lan looked around vigilantly as he walked, and suddenly felt a hard object under his feet, froze for a moment, and looked down.

It turned out to be a complete skull......

She hurriedly withdrew her foot and instantly gasped.

He took a few steps back and bowed apologetically to the skull with both hands.

Then he looked around, and realized that there were many bones scattered all over the ground.

"Why are there so many dead people here?" Gao Lan was suddenly terrified, and his heart was timid.

She slowly raised her head, and was about to continue walking forward, when suddenly a vine fell down in front of her, and made a bend, Gao Lan was about to pluck it with her hand, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, this branch ...... How can there be eyes!

It was as if his eyes were still staring at him......

When she reacted, her hands and feet trembled, she was frightened, she involuntarily gasped, and slowly retreated a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm a person with divine power to protect my body, Gao Lan, you can never forget this very important point." Gao Lan kept cheering himself up in his heart.

After retreating to what he thought was a safe distance, Gao Lan quietly pulled a few sharp leaves next to him, holding them in his hand as a hidden weapon, ready to wait for the opportunity to attack.

With the weapon in hand, Gao Lan's heart eased slightly, and for a moment, he carefully observed the snake in front of him.

The snake was slightly thinner than its own wrist, coiled around its top, with a blurred outer outline and a dark brown color, which really helped it hide itself better.

On its back, on a dark brown background, is a row of white diamond-shaped markings that meet end to end.

Gao Lan's heart lit up, and he said in his heart: Isn't this "black and white"!

Gao Lan suddenly remembered the ancient text he learned when he was studying, Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher Says".

"The wild of Yongzhou produces strange snakes, black and white, and they die when they touch the grass and trees; To bite people, there is no one. ”

Gao Lan pondered: Could it be that this boundary is the Yongzhou mentioned in the article?

Gao Lan remembered the profound connotation of the snake catcher's words, the sentence "harsh government is fiercer than a tiger", which is still fresh in his memory, looking at the bones scattered on the ground, Gao Lan seemed to understand: Could it be that these corpses were all bitten to death by snakes......

A peculiar snake grows in the wild in Yongzhou, with a black body and white patterns; When it touches the grass and trees, all the plants and trees die; If it bites someone, there is no cure. However, catching it, drying it, and making it into bait, it can be used to cure leprosy, diseases of the hands and feet that cannot be stretched, swollen necks, and sores, remove dead muscles, and kill all kinds of parasites. At first, the Emperor Taiyi ordered the collection of this snake, which was levied twice a year, and recruited those who could catch snakes, and used the snake to offset his taxes. Therefore, the people of Yongzhou are scrambling to do the errand of catching snakes.

The article grasps the connection between snake venom and the poison of harsh government, skillfully uses contrast, and uses the poison of snake catchers and poisonous snakes to set off the poison of taxation, highlighting the darkness of society.

When she finished sighing, she heard a lot of sounds around her, and the horses next to her seemed to have a premonition of danger, and kept stomping their hooves, shaking their heads and struggling.

Gao Lan comforted the horse with one hand, his face was slightly pale, very solemn, and he looked around vigilantly, and the leaves he was holding in his hands had been pinched with enough strength, ready to throw them at any time.

There seemed to be snakes gliding slowly on the trunks and vines. The snake that was gradually approaching was also very alert, eyeing the tiger, but it was not in a hurry to attack.

Gao Lan had always thought that it was something from the trunk and vines before, but now he realized that these were poisonous snakes, and he was suddenly afraid.

The serpents were each a little old, thick and long, coiled together. The snake rises upwards and seems to be extremely vigilant, ready to attack at any moment.

Looking further down the ground, in the grass in the darkness, seven or eight black and white snakes crawled out silently.

They gathered and came very suddenly, and they didn't know which hole they crawled out of, and they didn't attack, they just stared at Gao Lan quietly, as if they were thinking about something, and seemed to be waiting for the leader's call.

Gao Lan guessed that the leader should be the huge poisonous snake that had just looked at him.

After Gao Lan finished thinking about it, he immediately met its gaze again, with small eyes, the lethality is not small.

Seems to be emitting:

"What are you looking at!"

"Look at you, what's the matter!"

"Let's try again!"

"Try it!"

Suddenly, countless big snakes flew up, flying all over the sky, and they attacked Gao Lan and the horses.

"Boom!"

Gao Lan kept waving the leaves in his hand, and the leaves made a sound of breaking the air in the air, and finally, those leaves with internal force were inserted into the snake's body like sharp daggers at this moment, and then the snakes that were hit were also splashed with blood everywhere.

The strong smell of snake blood seemed to intensify the momentum of the poisonous snake's attack, and they were all high in fighting spirit and did not flinch.

The leaves in Gao Lan's hand were used up all at once, and he didn't have time to pull new ones, but fortunately, he had just fallen into the thorn bush, and the thorns on his body had not yet been pulled out quickly, so he kept tearing off the thorns from his body and then aimed at the attacking snakes, shooting them one by one.

The snake crawled and attacked silently, only making a faint "hissing" sound when spitting out letters, which was really dangerous and terrifying.

When Gao Lan was concentrating on dealing with the snake in front of him, a cunning little snake secretly climbed onto the horse's back from above, and the horse panicked instantly.

Gao Lan turned his head to look at the horse, and saw that a snake was crawling on its body, and he raised the snake's head to prepare to attack it, Gao Lan was shocked, and was about to throw the hidden weapon in his hand, but he entered the door again to stop it, she was afraid that she would hurt the horse by mistake, so she went directly to catch it.

As a result, the snake's head and body are extremely flexible, Gao Lan tried several times, but couldn't do it, and finally she took out her right hand and caught it casually, the snake body was slippery and slippery and extremely difficult to catch, Gao Lan held it, only to feel a sticky and soft cold thing slip away from the palm of her hand.

In a moment, there was a sharp pain like a knife stabbing in Gao Lan's wrist.

"Ahh

She screamed.

Gao Lan's face suddenly showed a look of pain, and she raised her hand tremblingly. Staring at the tiny red dot on her left wrist, she didn't even notice when the snake had taken the opportunity to bite her.

The red dot was almost like a needle prick at first, a little smaller, but in a moment, the poison was swift, and a huge black and red lump immediately bulged out of her wrist and swollen to the height, and the small red dot was also swollen to the size of a knife blade......
