"Do you know the names of these snakes?" Seeing that I didn't speak, Yuan Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at the snakes that surrounded the big tree we leaned on and asked me.

I didn't speak, but I was thinking in my heart about how sure we would be if the snakes forcibly attacked.

There is no doubt that I have no tools in my hands, and it is difficult for me to protect myself with my own skills, although Yuan Ji has extraordinary ability, he meets me, and I have almost no hope for him, so if I want to escape, I can only rely on myself.

Hurriedly looked up, I began to look for an escape route, from the ground through the snake group to escape is obviously impossible, the only way to save yourself is to escape from the trees, fortunately, these towering ancient trees one after another, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the green vines falling all over the sky look very strong, if you can use the power of the ancient vines to swim between the trees, it is the only way.

Seeing me looking around, I didn't listen to what he was saying at all, Yuan Ji's face was slightly gloomy, and he called out unhappily, "Hey, what's the matter with you woman?" Didn't you hear me talk to you? ”

His thoughts were pulled back by him, I looked at him, and said lightly, "Life and death are at stake, are you still in the mood to laugh with me?" ”

"Life or death?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said disdainfully, "It's just a group of poisonous snakes, Young Master Ben only needs to burn them, and they will definitely have no shape." ”

"With fire?" I shook my head, "No, once a fire is formed, won't you and I be burned to ashes?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at me, his eyes flickered, and a contemptuous smile rose to his eyebrows, "I'm not afraid of fire, you," he paused, suddenly moved his steps closer to me, and said with a strange smile, "If you are willing to tell me the truth, who are you and how did you appear here, I may consider saving your life." ”

He forced me to move two steps towards the trunk to the left, leaning my back against the hard tree, looking at his approaching face, feeling the warm breath on my skin, and goosebumps immediately rose. But I can't answer the answer he wants, let alone say that he came in because he was worried about Xiuling, Yuanji and Xiuling were opponents at the moment, if they knew that I knew about Xiuling, I was afraid that there would be more trouble, and I would get into trouble instead.

After some deliberation, I could only repeat the answer I had given him before, and when he saw that I refused to tell the truth, he looked slightly annoyed and snorted lightly, "Since you refuse to tell me the truth, then don't blame me for leaving you alone." With that, he stretched out his hand to the woods to the southeast and said, "Look over there, and test your eyesight." ”

I followed the direction of his finger to look, although the dense forest is deep and the mist is boundless, but my five senses at the moment are stronger than usual, and I can see the scene a hundred meters away, only to see a white mist, there is a yellow and white python coiled in the middle of the blades of grass, it stretches its thick waist like three people hugging us and looks at us, ruby-like eyes, clearly reflected the dense shadows of trees and snakes, my heart can't help but abrupt, blurted out, "That's the snake king?" ”

"Yes, I have some eyesight. You guessed it, it is the snake king of the beauty snake, these snakes seem harmless, but in fact, if you bite you, you can see blood seal your throat, and you will be killed on the spot, because the poison of their saliva is a few points stronger than the strongest Crane Top Red poison in the world. Moreover, they are all under the command of the Serpent King, and when they attack in groups, they are unguardable, comparable to an army, do you know where you have entered now? This is a purgatory on earth, and no one of my people can live for a long time. ”

I secretly suppressed the panic in my heart, and turned my head to ask Yuan Ji, "Capture the thief and capture the king first, are you sure to get rid of the snake king first?" ”

"Why should I help you get rid of the Serpent King?" Yuan Ji was stunned and looked at me unhappily.

I was dumbfounded for a moment before replying, "You also said that these beautiful snakes are under the command of the snake king, no matter how great your skills are, you may not be able to escape from tonight's disaster, and the snake king is so dangerous, if you don't get rid of it today, it will harm the people in the future, how can you bear it with your heart?" ”

"Hehe," he sneered twice, "I can't see that you have such a good heart, but if you want to protect the common people, you have to have that strength!" After saying that, he was about to fly, I hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, he was dragged by me and could not leave, so he swept my face with a pair of cold eyes, suppressed his anger and asked me, "This is the last chance I give you, who are you?" If you still refuse to tell the truth, I will abandon you and let you be devoured by the beautiful snakes! ”

I listened to his cruelty, my scalp was a little numb, and I hesitated for a moment and could only answer helplessly, "Okay, I'll tell you, but can you keep it a secret for me?" ”

He snorted, pulled back his sleeve and looked at me, noncommittal.

At this point, I wanted to hide my identity and beg him to help me escape, so I could only pretend to be embarrassed and say, "I...... I'm actually a witch spirit girl, and I heard that the witch clan retreated to the witch spirit valley, so I heard the news. ”

"What?" This time, it was him staring at me in disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, you can take me back to the Valley of the Witch Spirit to be inspected by your patriarch, and if I lie to you, let you dispose of it."

He saw that I was resolute and did not seem to be cheating, so he was a little hesitant.

I don't know if the bet is right, but at the moment there is no other way than to rely on him, as for the identity of the witch spirit girl is revealed is a blessing or a curse, anyway, save your life before you can plan anything else.

Yuan Ji kept looking at me, his eyes flickering, as if considering whether to believe my words, and I simply looked back at him calmly to show that I was guilty.

After a while, he pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I will believe you once, if you are not a witch spirit girl, I will make your life worse than death!" With that, he looked up and pointed above the trunk of the tree I was leaning on, "Those beautiful snakes will definitely attack in a while, you just have to climb up, there is a hole in the tree, just enough for one person, no matter what happens, you just wait there." ”

I looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a dark tree hole that was sunken into it more than fifty meters away, and I felt a little relieved, but I was a little worried, and asked, "You fight them alone?" Isn't there anyone else in this canyon to summon to help? ”

It's okay that I didn't say anything, but as soon as I asked, he immediately stared at me, and said with a cold gaze, "Have you seen anyone else?" ”

I secretly regret it in my heart, I know that the three of them are competing for the patriarch's token, and they don't want to damage their own strength because of killing demons, but give others a chance, if he thinks that Xiu Ling and Wanyue are also nearby, how can he kill the beauty snake with all his might? So, I immediately shook my head, "No, I'm worried about you, if you have other friends or clansmen in this canyon, you can call them over to help, wouldn't it be a better chance of winning?" ”

He narrowed his eyes, as if to judge the truth of my words, although this boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was very scheming and suspicious, and I secretly thought that I must think twice about talking to him again, and never make the same mistake again.

Suddenly, there was a strange cry not far away, like a whistle, and like the whistling sound of a sharp arrow piercing through the air, almost at the same time, the group of beautiful snakes surrounding the tree finally moved, and the snake that was close to the trunk of our tree climbed towards the tree at unimaginable speed.

Yuan Ji and I looked down at the same time, and we saw that the bottom of the tree trunk was already crawling with snakes, they were overlapping at the moment, and their movements were exactly the same, like an incomparably thick red python, moving towards the tree at lightning speed, I was afraid that it would not take a quarter of an hour to rush in front of us and completely drown us!
