Rushing downstairs to see that the old landlady was standing in her yard, and in front of her was a dirt pit, and it looked like the old landlady was tidying up the garden, and she dug such a hole when turning over the soil. At this moment, four or five black heads poked out of the pit, slender and long.

"Snakes?" I was stunned, it is not uncommon to find snakes in small towns in the United States, but they rarely appear near residents' homes, let alone such a large nest, and the old lady is very diligent in picking up the garden on weekdays, so it is impossible not to find such a nest of snakes. I stepped forward and pulled the old lady behind me and looked down. The pit looks very shallow, and in my experience, if the pit is dug by the snake itself, the hole will be deeper and the space inside will be larger. If you want to dig a hole and catch a snake, you can't do it with a hoe or two, and you can't see the owner without digging for an hour.

I leaned in, and the snakes were all black with triangular heads, which could be determined to be venomous from the appearance of their heads. And they are all relatively large, the longest one looks like two meters, it seems that because of the threat of the old lady, several snakes are on alert, and one of them has slowly straightened up.

"How can there be snakes?" Although the old lady had screamed before, she was actually very calm. The people of Texas are generally more strong, this old lady is still German, and she has the fortitude and strength of the Germans in her bones, so the snake that saw this pit was not very afraid, but curious.

"I don't know, you step back and leave it to me." I motioned for the old lady to retreat, and then quietly pressed my hand on the ground, and the pit began to change, the originally soft ground gradually hardened, and some small thorns pierced out of the pit, piercing the bodies of several black snakes out of the bloody holes. Several black snakes that were attacked had a great desire to attack, dragging their injured bodies out of the dirt pit. It's not hard for me to clean up these black snakes, but now that the old lady is behind me, won't I be exposed if I cast a spell? Just as I was trying to figure out how to blind the old lady's eyes.

The old lady held a shovel and slapped the head of the black snake crawling over a few times, but she didn't expect that the head of the black snake that was already injured when she climbed out of the pit was smashed to pieces.

"Humph!" I looked back and saw that the old lady, who was no taller than my shoulder, was holding a shovel with a fearless expression. I smiled bitterly, feeling that my worries were superfluous, and the old lady was fierce.

I gave a thumbs up, and the old lady walked into the house and called the police to come and deal with it. Leaving me in the courtyard, I walked over to the pit and reached out to play with the black snake on the ground a few times. This observation revealed a problem.

The distribution of species is a fascinating phenomenon, and each country and region has its own unique species. I don't know much about the species here in Texas, but I know the snakes in front of me. The two-meter-long body and triangular head are not unusual, but the patterns on these snakes are strange. The black diamond-shaped snake scales, the ring-shaped white lines and the snake tail like a regular triangle are a special kind of snake and earth beast in China, distributed in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and the locals call it the white-ringed dragon.

As far as I know, this kind of earth beast is unique to our country, in other words, it is generally impossible to appear in Texas, USA, unless someone sells the white-ringed dragon to the United States. But on the one hand, the trade of earth beasts is very strict, and on the other hand, the price is also very high, how many people who buy earth beasts are people who have some connections in the circle, and they have spent a lot of money to avoid strict inspection, but they have lost the snake here? This is unlikely......

Moreover, although the white-ringed dragon is not the most poisonous, they are some of the most popular spell-casting tools for local wizards in Yungui. I've never been exposed to it, but I've heard of the process of casting spells with the White-Ringed Dragon. It is said that by burying the newborn Ringed Dragon in the dojo or home of the person to be dealt with, the White-ringed Dragon that has been cast with a spell will grow very quickly, and it only takes about three to five days to grow to adulthood. When an adult is an adult, the dragon will crawl out of the man-made snake nest on its own, and destroy the surrounding enchantments or formations. At the same time, the adult Ringed Dragon can also receive some simple orders from the spellcaster, and can stealthily bite people, and the poisoned person will not react at first. The snake fangs of the white-ringed dragon are not long, and the snake teeth only need to gently puncture the skin of a person to inject venom into it. On the first day after poisoning, the area where the venom is injected will swell, but the swelling will not be exaggerated, at most it will be about the same as a mosquito pack. However, the toxicity begins the next day, and the swelling enlarges, accompanied by dyspnea and mental pressure. Eventually, on the third or fourth day, the toxicity was at its limit, and the poisoned person hallucinated, babbling gibberish and even sleepwalking without realizing it. At this point, the spellcaster will appear, feed the poisoned person an herb that temporarily relieves the poison, and then start negotiating terms with the poisoned person. After the other party pays a satisfactory price, the wizard will leave the antidote, if he refuses, then the small life will not be saved after the effect of the herb disappears.

Judging from the fact that there was a nest of white-ringed dragons buried in the garden of the old lady's house, the method is similar to the method I know that wizards harm people. But this is an ordinary old lady, and she is not a rich and powerful person, who would use this method to harm her? Besides, this method of casting spells to control the White Ring Dragon is one of the wizards' housekeeping skills, and it is generally not passed on casually, and foreigners cannot learn it. Even if someone has a grudge against the old lady, it is unlikely that they will be able to do this.

If it wasn't for the old lady of the landlady, there would have been only one, most likely for me. Someone found the bar last night, and this morning found this nest of snakes, and it seems that my whereabouts have been exposed again.

Soon the sheriff of the town took someone to dispose of the snake's carcass, and while they were negotiating, I walked in and made a phone call.

"Xiao Wei? Come to me once, maybe have to move. ”

A few minutes after the sheriff left, a small, dilapidated pickup truck pulled up across the street, and a man in a large jacket stepped down and smoked a cigarette. When I saw this, I walked over, and the man standing in front of me was wearing a large leather jacket, a beard, a full head of hair, and a tall figure who looked like he was in his forties. The appearance of smoking looks a bit like a cowboy in the American West, but this face is characteristic of Asians.

This person's name is Xiao Wei, and he is an overseas Chinese who was born in the United States, returned to China to study for a few years when he was a child, and then returned to the United States. Because of some chances, he became Junyan's helper in the United States, and he didn't care about any major matters on weekdays, but he was responsible for helping me arrange accommodation and relocation after I arrived in the United States. Also one of the few contacts I have in the United States.

"Brother Shan." He hurriedly smiled and nodded when he saw me coming.

Don't look at his beard and messy hair as if he was in his forties, in fact, his real age was only about twenty-five, and I was close to forty at the time, and it was not an exaggeration for him to call me big brother. What's more, he didn't make less money for helping me this time, so he was very polite to me.

"Probably discovered, I already killed two last night and found the Ringed Dragon in the landlord's yard this morning. This place should have been exposed, you can help me find a new place to live. I spoke.

He nodded, took out a packet of red china and handed it to me.

"I asked my Chinese buddy to bring it for you, hehe, I know you can't get used to foreign cigarettes. You give me two days, and I'll ask people to inquire if anyone from the Chinese circle has come to the neighborhood recently, so you can wait for me to call. He said with a smile.

I nodded, glanced my eyes into the car, and frowned at the cigarette rolls scattered on the back seat of the pickup. Then he grabbed him by the neck and pressed him against the car door.

Xiao Wei was startled and shouted, "Brother Shan, what are you doing?" ”

"I warned you, don't touch these things, you should be a deaf ear?" I shouted.

The laws of every state in the United States are autonomous, while some deviant things in Texas are legal. He immediately understood the meaning of my words and hurriedly said: "That was before, my car hasn't been washed for a long time, I swear I've quit!" ”

Reaching out to open his eyes and looking at the whites of his eyes, I let go of my hand and nodded: "You'd better remember my words, I hate this kind of thing the most, don't let me see it again and never touch it again, understand?" ”

"Got it......" he nodded hurriedly, and drove away.
