Chapter 3 "Death" Chapter 46 Reading the water and suddenly hearing the sound of the stream Wagging the tail and rustling are big insects
In the distance, there was the sound of a stream flowing, not loud, but very visible in the quiet forest.
"Haha! water! water is coming!" Pei Hu Shouhou and the others had their eyes shining, and they picked up the qiong syrup grass and hurried in the direction.
Seeing this, the black fox didn't stop much, and hurriedly took the third prince to follow.
But a few people followed the sound around, but they didn't find a trace of water, although the sound of water kept lingering in their ears.
"It's really strange! Obviously, the sound of water is here, why did the sound of water disappear again as soon as we arrived here?" Pei Hu gasped and complained, "Shouhou, what did you find?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a vigorous figure falling from the tree, and shook his head helplessly.
Just as Shouhou fell, there was a sound of running water not far away.
"Who is it?pretending to be a ghost!" Pei Hu raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush over.
The black fox grabbed Pei Hu, made a silent gesture, and slowly retreated in the direction of the sound of the water. Strangely, with each step they took back, the sound of the water came closer, and the current water was a little more urgent than before.
It was not long before they passed a thicket of spacious, spacious, bushes and retreated into the forest on the other side, and the stream followed as if it were alive.
The grass not far away shook for a while, and the black fox sneered when he saw this, and the two stones in his hand that he had picked up at some point swished in the direction of the sound, and after a muffled sound, there was a howl from there.
I saw a white and chubby child standing up with a whimper, rubbing his red eyes.
"Huh, how can there be children here?" Jin Zhu'er saw that the black fox had succeeded in the sneak attack, and was about to help, but she was stunned for a moment when she saw such a scene.
"Whose doll are you, what are you doing here at night, hurry up and go home!" Pei Hu shouted.
But the child was unheard of, and still wept and wiped his tears, and his red face cried like a flower cat, which was very pitiful.
"I think the boy is frightened, black fox, go and ask him where he lives, and send him back first. β
"Hmm. Simply agreeing to the words of the third prince, the black beaver approached the crying child step by step, but every time he took a closer step, there would be a trace of inexplicable nervousness in his heart.
It was clear that there was the sound of water just now, why did a child appear in front of him, and seeing that his exposed upper body was naked, and it didn't look like he was carrying something, the black fox was very drumming in his heart, and when he let go of his hand, he was actually broken free by the hare.
The hare survived in a desperate situation, and before it could hit the ground, it couldn't wait to flutter. When it finally landed in the grass, it rolled on the spot, jumping left and right and running in the direction of the child.
The black fox was about to chase after him, when he saw a bloody mouth under the child's feet, and a gust of fishy wind came to his nose, swallowing the hare directly into his mouth, smacking his lips and looking dissatisfied, and then biting the black fox!
The black fox reacted very quickly, knelt on the ground and leaned back, kicked his feet, and flew back upside down, pulling up a few people to shuttle through the forest and escape.
Although the big snake chased after it, but fortunately, the woods were dense, and it would not be able to get close for a while, so it fled and chased, and it didn't take long to return to the place where the three princes had passed before.
At this time, the situation of the land under the feet of several people was similar to Shouhou's hairstyle, the trees were dense everywhere, and there was only a patch of tender grass in the middle, and they quietly hid in front of the forest on one side of the clearing, and they did not dare to stare at the forest on the other side.
"Whoa... Boom..."With the sound of trees breaking, the hideous-looking snake still chased after it, spitting out the letter and hissing, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
Just as the serpent turned away in disappointment, he saw the black fox suddenly stomp under his feet and stood out.
"What are you going to do, black fox!" Jin Zhu'er looked startled.
"Hiss!" the serpent felt the ground shake, turned around and looked back, and curled up and attacked from mid-air.
The black fox counted the time, flicked the short stick in his hand, and shot into the young grass. Hearing a crisp click, a grass net was tightened on the trees around it, trapping the big snake in mid-air, and as soon as the big snake landed on the ground, before it could struggle, it was poked into a sieve by the wooden thorns hidden in the tender grass, and gurgling blood flowed out.
From the appearance of the big snake to the time it was subdued, everything happened between the stones and fires, and even the three princes did not slow down.
"Black Beaver, you... You've already arranged it?" the third prince wondered.
"Yes, Third Prince. The black fox said lightly.
"But haven't we been together all the time? When did you set the trap?"
"Just when I went to catch a hare..."
It turned out that when the black fox was about to catch the hare, he suddenly found that the ground under him was very slippery, and the grass was overwhelming to the sides, which was obviously the mark left by a huge snake. At present, everyone is extremely hungry and thirsty, if this big snake is caught, the snake blood can be taken to drink a full meal.
Looking at the ground again, this trace should have been left not long ago, presumably this big snake is also very cautious, if he tells the third prince about the matter, and then Pei Hu Shouhou listens, I'm afraid it's just a bamboo basket to draw water, so he took the opportunity to catch a hare, secretly laid a trap, ready to use the hare as a bait and wait for the big snake to take the bait.
Just as he was about to arrange the hare into the trap, he suddenly heard a small sound approaching the third prince, so he could only carry the rabbit back first.
"I see," said the third prince thoughtfully, "no wonder there are no wild beasts in this forest, and now it seems that it has become a delicious meal for this great serpent." β
"What the hell is this big snake?" Shouhou held the short knife, his face was cloudy, and he couldn't do anything when he looked at the half-cut white fat villain on the top of the big snake's head.
"This big snake was originally a monster that lived in the sand, and people called it the red-crowned rattlesnake. Its tail is a hollowed-out bony structure, and when it wags its tail, it makes a sound like a stream of water, attracting prey that steps into the desert. The black fox pointed to the serpent's hard tail.
"And the red crown is talking about the sarcoma on its head, this demon beast is extremely spiritual, and can transform the sarcoma into a human form. Normally, they hide into the sand, exposing only one tail, reducing their own water loss. When the prey follows the sound of the water, it uses the sarcoma on its head to conjure up half of its body, disguised as a victim trapped in quicksand, and if you come to your aid, it will swallow people when they are unprepared!"
"However, this demon beast is different from ordinary snakes, it likes to stay in a hot and dry environment, but this forest is cold and damp, and its strength is also greatly reduced, otherwise it will not be so easy to solve. β
"Black beaver, you know everything. Pei Hu gave a thumbs up with great admiration.
"That's what the gentleman told me. β
"No, you're obviously later, why haven't we heard about these things?"
"Sir said that even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to deal with it, so I didn't bother to tell you. β
Although several people wanted to refute, but this was indeed the case, they could only sigh depressedly, ready to take advantage of this demon beast.
The red-crowned rattlesnake was already extremely weak, and the injuries were terrible, but at this time it finally died, and the fat white child on its head also turned back into a sarcoma, hanging to the side, like a cockscomb.
Seeing such a scene, Shouhou also lost the burden in his heart, stood in front of the big snake in a few steps, and drew a short knife to bleed it.
At the moment when the short knife had just pierced into the skin of the big snake, I saw that the lifeless snake head suddenly bit Shouhou's head, and then there was a crisp click!
"Shouhou!" Several people in the distance saw the sudden abnormality, and hurried to Shouhou's side with a buzzing sound.
I saw that the steel teeth of the red-crowned rattlesnake stuck Shouhou's head in the middle, and Shouhou didn't move at all.
"Shouhou! You died so unjustly!" Pei Hu's eyes were about to split, and he dragged Shouhou's body and wailed in pain.
"You... Don't pull me yet..."Shouhou's sullen voice came from inside the snake's head.
"Shouhou, you're not dead?"
Pei Hu was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully into the snake's head. The imaginary brain-bursting scene did not materialize. In the mouth of the blood basin, a short stick was held up inside.
It wasn't until Pei Hu carefully broke open the giant mouth of the big snake that Shouhou took out his head, at this time he was even frightened and tossed, ran to the side and retched, muttering in his heart if he had offended something, and his head was stuck twice in two days in a row, and the few hairs that were tossed like this made him even more nervous.
"It's... Isn't this monster dead? How can it still bite?"
Shouhou had a shadow in his heart, and at this time he stood far away and watched the black fox deal with the big snake in front of him, but he didn't dare to approach again, for fear that it would give him another bite.
"After the death of this demon beast, although its vitality dissipates, it still retains a counterattacking characteristic, and once it senses that someone is approaching, it will carry out unconscious attack behavior. β
"What did you say?"
"Sir. β
"Then why don't you remind me..."Shouhou cried with a sad face.
"Sir said that when the time is right, I want you to feel a sense of crisis. The black beaver said solemnly.
Although the snake blood was a little salty and slippery and thick, several people were already thirsty and exhausted, and they didn't care about anything else at this time, so they all poured it down.
The snake's blood not only relieved the hunger and thirst, but also made several people red, and they could no longer feel the slight coolness of the night, and even some heat gushed out, and even the third prince felt that his blood was full of qi and blood, and his strength had increased a little.
Just as a few people were drinking blood and eating flesh and heartily, there was a sound of rustling in the direction of the trap just now.
"I understand!" Pei Hu saw that the black fox was about to speak, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile to show his understanding, "Anyway, you have already set up a trap, right?"
"Thisβ" The black fox stood up with an ugly face and looked into the distance.
"Black fox, you rest first, this wine and food can be regarded as regaining strength, and then it will be handed over to us!" Shouhou straightened his hairstyle and pulled out a short knife.
