Chapter 41: The White Snake of Good and Evil

After the rest just now, Lan Yucheng's physical condition seemed to be a little better, and he didn't let the ghost three help him go again, Teng Lao Wu led them to spend nearly two hours all the way to the west side of the Dragon King Ridge, and the traces left by the white snake also disappeared here.

Teng Lao Wu snorted like a hound and searched for a few minutes nearby, and said: "The white snake should have stayed here for a while, I have found the way it came, but the smell has faded a lot, and it is a little strange, that thing seems to have gone there first and then turned around." ”

Teng Lao Wu pointed in the direction of the east.

"Let's go check it out." Lan Yucheng said.

After walking in the direction of Teng Lao's five fingers for less than three minutes, he saw a path that had been artificially opened, and the snow on the road was full of footprints.

"It seems that the camp in front of Jie Shao and them should be stationed, be careful, maybe there are still people over there." Lan Yucheng said that he was going to their camp.

"Mr. Lan, since you know that it is their camp, there is no need to go and see it, go find the white snake's lair first." Teng Lao Wu stopped and said.

"It's not bad time, maybe you can find some clues about Jie Shao there."

They walked along the road for almost twenty minutes, then down a slope where a two-meter-wide stream was babbling. The sky was already bright, the winter sun hung in the sky, but there was no trace of temperature, the fog that filled the forest had gradually dissipated, and the vision became much wider.

On a flat piece of land by the brook, a dozen tents were set up, and they hid aside and observed, and when they saw that no one was moving, they went forward.

"Look for what they left behind, and see if there are any clues left."

Lan Yucheng said that he went into a tent first, and the others also searched for each tent one by one, there were really a lot of things they didn't take away, after all, so many people died, and they couldn't move away from Old Man Nie, so they had to be thrown here.

Chu Ye flipped through the mountaineering bags left in a tent, food, water, climbing ropes, cameras, compasses and many other professional mountaineering equipment, but they were not short of these, so there was no need to take them.

Chu Ye shook his head with some disappointment, and was about to go to the next tent when he suddenly heard Cheng Youmin's excited laughter.

"I've finally found something good."

The others hurriedly gathered around, and it turned out to be two bundles of explosives and detonators. Cheng Youmin checked it and put the explosive in his bag, saying: "It's a pity that this is lead azide explosive, and the stability is not very good. ”

As for explosives, a thermal weapon, as a retired soldier, he is naturally very kind. Lan Yucheng didn't stop him and said, "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lan, I'm very familiar with this thing."

Except for the two bundles of explosives found by Cheng Youmin, nothing else was needed, Lan Yucheng said helplessly: "Nie Weiguo, when they leave, they should go back to the camp and take all the important things with them, forget it, let's go." ”

They returned to the same path they had come, led by Teng Lao Wu, and when they came back, everyone had a question, because Teng Lao Wu said that the smell of the white snake extended to the edge of the camp, and they had been around for a long time, which meant that they should have already discovered Applejack and his men, and it was strange why they did not attack their camp.

At this time, Chu Ye suddenly remembered some stories about the white snake that Lin Anguo said when he just entered the mountain yesterday, in the legend here, the white snake does not hurt people, but on the contrary, it is to save people and is seriously injured and turns into a snake by the dragon, throwing away the legendary elements, in all the stories, this white snake has not done a single evil thing, and even saved many villagers who were lost and injured in the mountains, which is also the reason why they are offered as snake gods.

The most real thing is that with the size and ferocity of this white snake, there are almost no natural enemies in nature, but Shiquan Village and nearby villages are not far from the killing trough and Dragon King Ridge, but they have never heard of the white snake invading them.

Last year, so many people came here to look for the white snake, and I didn't hear the news of a traveler going missing, so it was easy for the white snake to hunt them.

Thinking in this direction also explains why it didn't attack Applejack's camp, what Beard said earlier can be confirmed to be a fabrication, Applejack and the others didn't meet White Snake head-on until last night, so White Snake sensed that Applejack and the people he brought with him were looking for it, and didn't attack them because he thought they were fellow travelers like last year, and it was staying around the camp and maybe even to protect them.

Thinking of these, Chu Ye couldn't help but have a strong sense of guilt, if this is the case, then now these people, including Ajie and their people, have made a big sin, the last tragic situation of the White Snake last night is vivid, Chu Ye was shocked all over, and suddenly thought of himself.

Because of the second uncle, he has become a strange guy, and when he is emotionally controlled, he will turn into a bloodthirsty zombie.

If one day, he finds a way to control his emotional changes, he lives like an ordinary person, he is friends with everyone, and he helps those who are in trouble, he is called a great benevolent person and respected, but once his body secrets are discovered, even if he does not become a zombie again, even if he does not hurt anyone, will those who usually greet him with a smile pick up a butcher's knife and aim it at him?

What happened to the White Snake made him have to think about it, after all, for most people, if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. This phrase has long been misinterpreted and has become a slogan for many people to attack and even slaughter other people and species, and consider themselves good deeds.

Chu Ye felt a chill in his body, and quickly stopped these associations, Lan Yucheng and the others didn't know if they thought about the legend about the White Snake, so as to explain the reason why the camp was not attacked by the White Snake.

"The traces of the white snake have been completely covered by last night's heavy snow, I can only follow the smell to find it, and I can't say if I can find it." Teng Lao Wu said.

"Just look for it." Lan Yucheng said.

The rest of the time was completely relying on Teng Lao Wu's nose that was more agile than a dog to find the nest of the white snake, and last night's heavy snow dyed the entire forest into a pure white, and the silver-covered trees dotted it, outlining a vast and detailed landscape painting.

Soon it was noon, and they didn't walk far, mainly because the smell left by the white snake behind them was getting weaker and weaker, and Teng Lao Wu's speed slowed down. Chu Ye looked at his furrowed brows and sweaty face, although he didn't like him, he had to admire his dedicated attitude.

At first, Chu Ye thought it was because of the conflict between Teng Lao Wu and them on the way into the mountain, but now Chu Ye felt that Hu Lao seemed to have some grievances with him before.

He asked Jiang Yun, but he didn't expect that this old Hu Lao's apprentice was not clear, and said, "I have never heard the master talk about Teng Lao Wu. ”
