Chapter 120: Strange Snake
Time: March.
Location: Paradise Hideaway, deep in a canyon forest surrounded by nine mountain peaks.
Weather: Sultry, gloomy, oppressive.
Under the guidance of the ghost boy, I came to the place where I picked up the Death Scythe.
It was an arched cave.
The so-called arch hole is a tree root hole with countless roots and stems entwined and arched.
The cave was damp and gloomy, with a strong smell of rot and decay, and a faint smell of blood.
The cave was not deep, but it was very dark, and even with my eyes, it took me about ten seconds to get used to the darkness.
The ground inside the cave was muddy and muddy, leaving many footprints that had been trampled on.
In addition, there are many traces of the surrounding tree roots being chopped by knives.
Depending on the situation, there had been a fight here, and one of the parties to the fight was Lin Miao, because his scythe fell here, it was easy to guess.
can fight with Lin Miao so fiercely, could it be that mysterious woman? Or someone from the Heavenly Master's Mansion?
As I pondered, I glanced at the corpse of a creature hidden under the withered leaves.
It looked like a snake, its head cut off and nowhere to be found, its entire body as thick as an arm, covered with black scales.
"The poisonous snake of the Gu clan?"
My heart sank, and I approached and used my scythe to remove the dead branches and leaves, and I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the true face of the snake corpse.
There is nothing strange about encountering a snake in such a place, and the snake in front of me is nothing compared to the golden python I saw in the water dungeon before.
But to my surprise, the shape of this black snake is not the same as the snake I have seen before, and it can be said to be very weird.
Because at its waist, it is actually forked, and it looks like two snakes merging together, like a conjoined baby.
Heterogeneous! Two-headed snake!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have had a hard time believing that there was such an anomaly as a two-headed snake in the world.
As far as I could see, one of the heads of this two-headed snake had been cut off, but the other head was intact, its head was flat-headed, triangular, and at first glance it looked like a poisonous snake.
Ignoring its twin heads, this snake looks like the polar king cobra, which has a nickname for our native mountain peak.
Peaks are known as venomous snakes in our country, and their movements are lightning fast, and if you become the target of their attack, it will be difficult to avoid them, even if you react quickly.
It is precisely because of its quick action and elusiveness that it is called the mountain peak.
The most important point is that it is so poisonous that if a person is bitten and does not have time to get the anti-virus vaccine, he will die of poison in less than ten minutes.
There is an uncle in my village, when he was a child, he went up the mountain with his family to cut wood, and saw a tree hole, and there was a bird's nest in the hole, and there were eggs in the nest.
At that time, the standard of living was backward, and the rural children did not eat a meal, and they were very surprised to see the bird eggs in the cave, so they reached in and took them out.
Unexpectedly, there was a mountain peak in the cave that was also devouring bird eggs.
Shekou grabbed food, and he naturally couldn't avoid being bitten on the hand.
His family rushed to check, and saw that he was bitten by the mountain peak, in order to avoid the spread of the venom, without saying a word, he raised the firewood knife and waved it down ruthlessly, cutting off half of his arm......
From then on, the uncle became a one-armed man, and no longer dared to dig the bird's nest, and even turned around and ran away when he saw the snake from afar.
This is not an apocryphal story, but a real thing that happened in my village.
From here, it can also be seen how toxic Guo Shan Feng was, and medicine was not so developed at that time, and if he hadn't cut off his arm, he probably wouldn't have lived today.
And the two-headed snake in front of him is like a combination of two venomous snakes that have crossed the mountain, and its poison is definitely not weak.
A two-headed snake appears in the Cave of the Double Dragon...... Could it be that this thing is the offspring of a two-headed dragon? And Lin Miao is not fighting with people here, but fighting with this poisonous snake?
I swallowed my saliva hard, and I really didn't have "resistance" to snakes, which were disgusting and scary.
To be honest, I admire those snake catchers who haunt the mountains and forests all year round. This kind of terrible thing, they actually dare to catch it with their bare hands, the courage is too fat.
I don't know if there are any strange snakes like this in this place?
I took the plunge and flipped the snake corpse over with a scythe, and my heart was once again shocked.
What do I see......
Foot!
A snake had three legs growing out of its belly, and those feet were clinging to the ground like chicken claws, and were covered with maroon skin.
This...... Can it still be called a snake?
I took two steps back and wiped my forehead, and before I knew it, I was already in a cold sweat.
It's incredible, how can there be such a strange thing in the world?
What should I call it?
Three-legged snake or two-headed snake?
It's terrible, this kind of thing is terrifying even if it's dead.
I walked briskly out of the dark arch and looked up at the strange, dense, undulating terrain in front of me. There was a fear in my heart.
Because I don't know if there's such a weird two-headed snake ahead, what if I encounter it?
There was no sun, but dusk was twilight, and night was approaching.
The weather is starting to get colder, and there is a cold wind and a drizzle.
The drizzle was misty, and the mist rose from the ground, enveloping the heavens and the earth in a moment.
Above the sky, the huge black tree trunk loomed in the thick fog, like a wrath and dragon writhing in the clouds, and it looked even more terrifying.
It's not that it's dark, it's because dark clouds are gathering in the sky, and it looks like it's still some time before it gets dark.
Looking at the huge trees in front of me, which were obscured by the mist, I stood still and hesitated, and after several minutes, I gritted my teeth and decided to move on.
The destination is right in front of me, and now that I'm here, I don't want to wait any longer.
As soon as I thought of this, I didn't delay too much, I carried a mountain whip and a backpack, and took Lin Miao's sickle in my hand to cut down the roots and barren grass that blocked the road ahead, and climbed forward.
After ten minutes, there was no dirt in sight, and there were dense rhizomes intertwined all around, and I was now climbing along a thicker rhizome.
These rhizomes are wet and slippery, and their surface is covered with moss, fungus, and if you step on it, you will slip if you step on it.
And some rhizomes have already withered and eroded, but it is difficult to distinguish from the surface, but as long as you step on them, they will break immediately.
You must know that there are countless holes under these rotten rhizomes, and if you accidentally fall down, it will be difficult to climb up again.
Walking on this complex terrain is like walking a tightrope on a cliff, with danger and danger everywhere.
In the end, I had to lie on my stomach and move forward, because I had almost fallen into a hole just now. If it weren't for the ghost boy's timely action and pulling me back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The speed is too slow, and it is estimated that it is completely dark, and it is impossible to reach the roots of the big trees.
I regretted it a little, looking at the fog behind me, and when I stopped to rest, I asked if the ghost boy could take me across this area and go straight to my destination?
The ghost boy looked at me and rolled his gaze, and only after half a sound did he nod and said, "I'll give it a try...... The place is a bit weird......"
As he spoke, it turned into a black mist, wrapped around me, and carried me off the ground and galloped forward.
I was three or four meters above the ground at this time, looking at the countless rhizomes flashing under my feet. I sighed in my heart, I knew that the ghost boy had this ability, why did he suffer so many crimes? Just let it fly here with itself.
However, as soon as this thought arose in his heart, a noisy flapping of wings sounded overhead.
I followed the sound and looked up, only to see a black cloud falling from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it came closer.
It's too fast, too fast to react to.
It wasn't until the black clouds came near that I realized that it wasn't a black cloud at all, but a flock of birds, a flock of spirit birds with colorful feathers.
This bird is exactly the same as the one I saw in the deep valley before.
There were too many, at least thousands, and they gathered together, like a dark cloud falling from the sky, approaching in an instant.
Before I could think about it, the screams of the ghost boy suddenly sounded in my ears, and it turned into a black mist, which was pierced by the spirit bird.
It stands to reason that ghost children are intangible bodies, and it is difficult to be hurt by tangible things, unless they contain the Buddha nature of the Tao and the Dharma, and something that specifically restrains it.
For example, willow branches, as well as runes, thunder and lightning, etc.
This kind of spirit bird is really not simple, it can hurt the ghost child.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
Countless spirit birds pierced through the incarnation of the ghost child, and the black mist showed signs of collapse.
As the ghost boy screamed, my body shook for a while, and the next moment, I felt that my body was light, and then the whole person began to fall to the ground.
At the moment when the screams of the ghost boy sounded, I was mentally prepared, and at this time, I was in mid-air, staring at a tree root below, and flew down to hug it.
However, the fall was too rapid, and the injury was not healed, so he could not stabilize his body.
Fortunately, with a bit of luck, when he fell again, he was caught by a rhizome that was wound into a net.
Ignoring the pain, he struggled to get up, stabilized himself and looked up.
I saw that above the sky, the ghost boy turned into a huge ghost head, wanting to devour the group of spirit birds, and spew out pieces of ghost fire.
Unexpectedly, the spirit bird's body is sensitive, and the most terrifying thing is that it can actually devour the ghost fire spewed out by the ghost boy, and it can also eat away at the ghost boy's body.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
There was a mess in the sky, except for the screams of the ghost boys, and the sound of countless spirit birds flapping their wings.
In the end, the huge ghost head incarnated by the ghost boy collapsed with a bang, and then quickly condensed into a child.
At this time, the ghost boy became three or four years old again, looking extremely miserable, and his body was oozing blood.
Generally speaking, the Yin Spirit is bloodless, and the blood it sheds should be the blood I fed it before.
Although he turned into a ghost child, the spirit bird's attack did not stop, but became more rapid.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the ghost boy's figure disintegrated again, turning into a black mist.
The most terrifying thing is that those spirit birds are actually devouring the black mist turned by the ghost child.
"Master, save me ......"
As the black mist faded and faded, the ghost boy's weak screams became smaller and smaller, and if the black mist was completely swallowed by the birds, the ghost boy would cease to exist.
Seeing that the ghost boy could no longer condense and form, and was even about to be destroyed, but there was nothing to be done, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
They were in mid-air, and I couldn't get involved without wings.
When he was in a hurry, he had to pull out the mountain whip behind him and shouted at the sky: "Ghost boy, come back...... Take refuge in the mountain whip. ”
As my shouts rang out, the black mist in the sky quickly converged and then rushed towards me frantically.
After the black fog, a flock of birds chased after them.
They were so fast that they rushed in front of me in an instant, and I had nowhere to retreat at this point, so I had to stretch out my left hand to protect my eyes from being pecked blind by the rushing birds.
Burst! Burst! Burst......
Countless spirit birds flew past my ears, and some crashed into me.
At this moment, I am like a fallen leaf in the wind, crumbling.
After more than ten seconds, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the sound of flapping wings disappeared.
"Are you gone?"
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and secretly glad that those spirit birds didn't attack me, but only targeted the ghost boy, otherwise......
Thinking so, when I lowered my arms covering my eyes and looked around, I was shocked by what I saw.
I saw a large flock of colorful spirit birds parked around me, and they all tilted their heads and stared straight at me......
