Chapter 17: The Strange Python
Hades? Is that the shop that sells a mess of paper?
I remembered that there were still a lot of fun things in the store, and I nodded, "Okay!" β
The last time I went with my grandfather, I was in a coma the whole time, and at the moment I followed Wenmo, turning around, and my head was dizzy.
After walking for almost half an hour, I refused to go.
"Master, I'm tired!" I yelled at Wenmo, who turned his head to look at me and sighed, "I won't carry you like your grandfather." β
"Really?" I ran over and looked at him pitifully with wide eyes: "But I'm so tired, I can't walk!" β
I just started to play tricks.
Wen Mo rubbed his temples with a headache: "I know, I know, stinky little ghost...... Come up. β
After saying that, he squatted down.
I rushed over with a grin and hugged Wenmo, who carried me on his back.
"Master, what does the Underworld shop do?"
"Well, to put it simply, it's for the dead."
"What do you do with burning things for the dead?"
"Give them to use in the underworld, there is a dungeon called Lethe in the underworld, and it is said that all those who cannot be reincarnated for the time being will live in Lethe River, which is similar to your village."
Along the way, I pestered Wenmo to tell me about the underworld, or about what happened to him.
At this time, I realized that Wenmo knew a lot of things, just like my grandfather said about astronomy and geography.
Wenmo took the trouble to explain to me, and gradually, I became more and more sleepy, and I couldn't help but yawn on Wenmo's back.
"Hmm......"
"If we're sleepy, let's take a rest over there. Wen Mo pointed to a big tree over there. β
I nodded and yawned again.
For some reason, I felt relieved when I left the village. Although I feel guilty about my grandfather and my father, I am much better now.
I felt Wenmo put me down, carefully cleaned up the surroundings, built a small fire not far away, and covered my clothes.
In this world, in addition to my father and grandfather, there is only Master.
In a daze, I heard Wenmo whisper, "The wind is coming." β
Then, a small breeze blew in, and I felt very comfortable all over.
"Your Excellency followed us all the way, are you tired?"
Who is Wenmo talking to? I instinctively wanted to raise my head to see what Wenmo was doing, but I didn't expect that if my eyelids were heavy, I couldn't lift them.
ββ¦β¦β
Another whisper, I couldn't hear anything.
After that, I saw the dragon soul again.
"Ah, Dragon Soul!"
I was surprised to find that my dream was no longer a pale patch, but instead a place of birds and flowers, an endless grassland, where the dragon soul was sitting on the ground and didn't know what to do.
"Wow, did you do that?"
"Well, for thousands of years, I have only cared about cultivation, and I have never gone out to see the surrounding scenery, and I am trapped here, so I might as well do something to pass the time."
The dragon soul glanced at me, "You seem to be in a much better mood. β
"Hmm." I nodded, "I've figured it out, my father's affairs are also in a hurry, since I can't be in a hurry, then what else do I have to hurry?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's good to figure it out. The dragon soul looked at me carefully, "Yes, it's a little different, it looks like it's time to start." β
"What?" I didn't hear the dragon soul clearly.
"Since you have inherited my demonic power, you can't be a waste wood anymore." The dragon soul walked over and pinched my face, "Do you want me to teach you the spell?" β
"What is the spell?" I tilted my head in confusion, "Can I eat it?" β
ββ¦β¦ That's not for food! The dragon soul rolled its eyes, "In short, you have to use my demonic power to do something and accumulate merit, you know?" β
"What is merit?"
How do I feel like everyone is telling me weird things today?
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and my eyes flashed back to reality.
But the pain didn't subside, and when I looked down, I almost cried!
I don't know when a python appeared in front of my eyes, it was tightly bound to my body, the snake's head was erected to look at me, and there was a slit in its orange-yellow eyes, with a dangerous and terrifying aura.
"Hiss-" The python spat out a crimson letter at me, and its mouth grew.
I saw his fangs glistening in the sunlight.
"Master!" I subconsciously shouted Wenmo, and when I looked up again, Wenmo was gone again!
Why did he disappear at the critical moment?!
Seeing me struggling, the python became tighter and tighter: "Hiss-hand-over-hiss-"
"What?"
Hearing the hissing and the sound of someone talking, I was so surprised that I forgot about the struggle.
"Hand it overβ"
This time I really heard it clearly, and my face was white!
It's over, and I ran into a python that has grown into a sperm, what can I do?!
"Master!" My whole body was gurgling and crying out in pain, "This snake can talk!" β
Unexpectedly, my five words popped out, the python was stunned for a moment, and the strength that entangled me also relaxed a little.
I slipped out of the gap and ran into the forest in a panic.
But before I could take two steps, my ankle touched something cold, and it got tangled......
"Bang!"
I fell into a, and my nose hurt and hurt!
But this time, the things in my pocket fell out.
It was the folding knife I had taken in my grandfather's room before I left, and he used to skin pythons.
Don't look at the small size of this knife, it is only the size of my palm, it is a grandfather's ancestral knife, extremely sharp! Any animal's fur can pull out a neat opening!
I turned to get a knife when the python pulled me backwards several times!
I clung to the roots of the tree on the ground and started a tug-of-war with the python.
The snake was a cunning creature, and it couldn't pull me for a long time, so it leaned out and went around me.
When I saw that it was at least three meters long, I was startled for half a second, and immediately climbed forward two more steps, picking up the knife while it was not paying attention!
Grandpa said, hit the snake and hit seven inches!
Uh, but where's the seven inches?
Anyway, when the python came up to me again, opened its bloody mouth as if it was about to eat me, I stuck the knife on the snake's head!
The python was stunned for a moment, and began to let out a piercing "hiss" accompanied by a scream, how ugly the sound was, how ugly it was, dark red blood kept dripping from the top of its head, and it frantically shook its head, trying to throw the knife off its head!
I watched the sharp teeth keep rubbing in front of me, and I shivered and rolled and crawled to run, but I didn't expect the python to chase after me while eating pain!
But I was really unlucky, and I only ran two steps before I hit a tree. I was dizzy and didn't say anything, and I stumbled to the side.
The python was in a hurry to chase me, but he didn't pay attention, and hit it with a "bang".
I swallowed, I can't go down this way.
The knife doesn't last long, and the damage it can do is limited, so I'm sure I'll still be eaten if I go on like this!
Thinking of this, I jumped up and jumped at the python's head, which happened to be stuck near its head and neck.
The python felt me crawl on top of it, froze for a moment, and then shook its head frantically.
"Shhh Hiss-"
I could hear that it was so angry that it refused to come down, holding its slippery snake body with one hand as it reached for the knife.
When I touched the handle of the knife, I was overjoyed, but as soon as my hand was loosened, I didn't hold it steadily, and the whole person fell down.
I subconsciously grabbed the knife, but I didn't expect the python to be frantically swinging, the knife was extremely sharp, plus my weight, it was actually pulled down by me!
"Shhhh With a bang, I fell to the ground, and the python rolled on the ground in pain, and its body spread out and curled up for a while.
I was so frightened that I ducked to the side, and after struggling for a while, the python stopped moving.
When I walked over, I saw that the knife actually cut off the top of the python's head, and drew a seven or eight inch long opening.
At this time, I felt a little afraid, and I was stunned for two or three minutes to make sure that the snake would not suddenly jump up, and then I dared to approach cautiously.
I picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground, it was bloody and disgusting, then rubbed it clean with dirt and grass and stuffed it back into my trouser pocket.
Before I could leave, a group of people suddenly appeared on the edge of the woods, and they looked at the python lying on the ground, and then at me standing beside the python at a loss......
"Ahh
In the crowd, a woman screamed and startled me: "He, he! He actually killed the messenger of the snake god! β
"Oh my God, this is going to bring disaster to our village!"
"Village chief, what is the village chief going to do?!"
I was so stunned by the crowd that I forgot to explain.
Out of the crowd came a man, about fifty years old, with sharp eyes and a strong spirit, and he looked at the python on the ground, and then at me.
"Little doll, you killed this python?"
I nodded dumbly.
The crowd began to stir again, and several of them pointed at my nose and said viciously: "Village Chief, he killed the messenger of the snake god, we must tie him up and send him to the snake god to make amends!" β
When I heard this, I immediately took a step back, "You, where are you going to send me?" β
"This matter ......" the village chief's eyes looked at me with a little more helplessness and pity, "just do it." β
"Wait, who allowed you to take my apprentice?"
