Chapter 19: Bait
"Not everyone is as lucky as you." Wen Mo looked at the dark mountain not far away, and replied to me, "Little apprentice, you will go up the mountain alone for a while, are you afraid?" ”
"I'm sure I'm afraid!" I didn't hesitate to say, the mountain looks gloomy, plus Wenmo and Cunchang said that there are bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the mountain for a long time, and I won't go up if I go up alone.
Wen Mo laughed and tapped my forehead, "Yes, I can honestly say what I think, I don't have to force it, but don't worry, if you go up alone, there will be no danger." ”
I don't know why, when Wenmo's fingertips touched my forehead, a strange feeling instantly rose in my body, "Then Master, what are you going to do?" How did I find out that every time something happened you ran away, to be honest! ”
"It's just a matter of going to take care of it, okay, don't waste time, when the morning dawns, we have to go back to the store."
In desperation, I had to go up the mountain alone.
Wenmo discussed with the chief before I probably understood seventy-seven-eighty-eight, Wenmo asked me to be the bait, the python that I killed before is considered the descendant of the big snake, and if I haven't gone back for so long, I will definitely have to send another one, so the best way is to let me go up first to try my luck, see if I can touch it, and if I can touch it, take me directly into the cave.
But what do you want me to do after that, Wenmo didn't reveal it at all.
"Isn't there really any danger?" I looked at the path that was not easily recognizable in the night, and said nervously, "What if something happens to me......"
"Don't worry, I'm behind you." Wenmo nodded at me and let me go up the hill along the path.
After only two steps, I couldn't help but look back at Wen Mo, but I didn't expect that the place where Wen Mo was standing had long since disappeared.
Running so fast!
I just wanted to open my mouth to call him, but finally I shut up, this is the first thing that Master has entrusted me, and I must do it well.
Gritted his teeth and raised his legs to walk up the mountain.
The mountain at night is more eerie than during the day, but fortunately, this road is often walked by people who go up the mountain to collect firewood, and the surroundings are cleaned up and not difficult to walk.
The only thing that was difficult was that I stumbled every step of the way, mainly because it was too dark to see under my feet.
After walking for half an hour, I gasped and looked up at the top, and then at the bottom, and I suddenly panicked.
There is darkness with no end in sight.
"It's okay, it's okay, Qin Xian, you're the best!" I cheered myself up in my heart, stabilized my uneasy emotions and continued to move forward.
At a fork in the road, I stopped.
As the chief said before, there are two roads up the mountain, the one on the left is the one that everyone often goes, and there is no danger, and the one on the right has collapsed again a few years ago, and no one can get in.
Wen Mo specifically instructed me to go to the right.
After standing for a long time, I turned to the right and continued to climb up.
Sure enough, it's a road that no one has walked for a few years, and it's all surrounded by weeds and thorns, and if I hadn't had a good sense of direction, I'd definitely get lost here.
But after walking two steps, my calf hurt, and when I looked down, I found that my calf was scratched at some point, and blood was constantly spilling out.
"Shhh
"Hiss-"
Suddenly there was the sound of something passing through the grass, and I jerked my head up and looked in the direction it was coming from.
However, there was nothing around but the swaying grass.
Is it a delusion?
But now I couldn't afford to waste any more time, and seeing that the wound on my calf had solidified, I hurriedly stood up and made sure I was in the right direction, and I walked with my feet up.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a hissing sound behind me.
"Blood, the smell of blood."
Hearing this, my whole body stiffened and I was pinned to the spot.
The sound was exactly the same as the snake I heard during the day!
"Blood...... Taste! ”
I turned my neck stiffly, and a snake was standing behind me, as tall as two people!
It's thicker and longer than the snake in the daytime!
And its eyes are not yellow, but an eerie green.
The python grinned, spit out the letter, its long and narrow pupils flashed, and it immediately attacked me!
"Wow!" I screamed and subconsciously covered my eyes.
Unexpectedly, its snake head stopped in front of me, and with great interest, it took two hole-like noses and looked at me.
"This ...... The taste is ......"
I opened my eyes, and I met his eyes, and I saw an indescribable excitement in his eyes.
"You have a treasure on you, don't you?" The big snake tail swept over, and instantly rolled me up airtightly, "Hand it over, hand it over......"
The blood basin opened its mouth wide, and seeing that it was about to swallow me, I said in a hurry: "If you eat me, aren't you afraid that the snake god will monster you?!" ”
Strange to say, after experiencing that incident during the day, I was a lot calmer when I encountered this snake again.
The python closed its mouth, "What did you say?" ”
"I, I'm the tribute that the chief has chosen to pay tribute to the snake god!" Anyway, things have come to this point, and I simply started to lie, "If you eat me, the snake god will be unhappy and will eat you." ”
The python stopped, apparently thinking about what I had just said.
I pretended to be scared and lowered my head, thinking in my heart that Wenmo didn't know when it would appear.
After a while, the python spoke, "Take it back." ”
It suddenly opened its mouth and grabbed my collar in its mouth, like a dog holding a toy, and carried me quickly through the mountains and forests.
I didn't have time to see the route clearly, and ten minutes later, the python led me to a dark hole.
It stopped, curled me up with its tail, and began to "hiss" in its mouth again, as if it were saying some spell.
Then, the cave rumbled, and the python flew in like an arrow from the string!
"Wow!" The cave seemed to have existed for many years, and it had formed stalactites, which were so dark and damp that I sneezed out a few times in an instant.
I don't know if it's because I'm dazzled, I seem to see some white bone ...... scattered in the cave?
I don't know how long the snake moved, but when it finally stopped, I was also thrown off.
Then I was fascinated by a strange sight in front of me.
In the middle of the cave there was a huge flat land, and in the middle of the flat ground was a raised sharp stone like a hill, a huge snake...... I don't know if it's a snake, it's the body of a snake, but there's a huge human face at the head of the snake.
The face was extraordinarily distorted, with closed eyes and a wide nose without any hair.
The big python next to it seemed to be calling out to it, and as soon as it opened its eyes, I felt a wave ......of dizziness and almost fainted.
That strange feeling of oppression almost took my breath away.
Its eyes were strangely looking, they were not even white, they were red, but I could see the unsettling sensation emanating from his eyes.
"Your body...... What exactly is it? ”
I saw its snake body move, and its long, huge tail suddenly curled up my throat and pulled me through.
Its strange face was so close to me that I could almost see my reflection in the red pupils.
"I don't have anything...... Just, I was chosen by the Governor......" I replied stubbornly.
"Lie!" It immediately retorted.
It actually saw through my lie at a glance, and its red eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, "You have a treasure on your body, dragon soul, right...... With that I can soar and never have to stay in such a small place anymore...... Haha......"
What did it say again, I didn't hear it clearly, but I seemed to hear the words "third master"?
"Hmm, what kind of high-level guy am I, it turned out to be Candle Jiuyin......" Before I could react, Wen Mo's teasing voice sounded in my ears.
Huh?
I hurriedly turned my head to look left and right, but I didn't see Wenmo at all.
