Chapter 21: The Snake and the Mysterious Man

"Beetle snake!" The thought flashed through my head like lightning, and I couldn't believe it.

This snake is a sacred object in Taoist legends, there is a kind of snake that can not turn into a dragon, only through the catastrophe directly into a dragon, it is said that this kind of beetle snake, it is also called a snake of Teng, its biggest feature is to fly without wings.

And there are many sayings about it, many Taoist things are inevitably related to it, divination, Qimen and even in the legend it is also a high god, the twelve star generals, the god of fire, the most mysterious of the five elephants hidden and not appearing in the middle of the main land of the gods, because it is hidden and not visible, so people generally only say the four elephants.

In short, at that moment I was completely ignorant of the ups and downs of my life, I had seen a lot, and even Kunlun Penglai I accepted, but how to make me accept the fact that a legendary 'divine beast' really exists?

Isn't that to tell me that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true? Wouldn't I still believe that there was a Jade Emperor? Even if I believe in the Three Qings, I may not be able to accept the existence of the Heavenly God!

I can only tell myself that it was a 'xenomorph', a mysterious creature that I had never seen before, but it appeared in front of Liu Shengwang so suddenly, Liu Shengwang was probably also shocked, and even took two steps back, not daring to face this strange little snake.

As soon as he retreated, the spell he had put on me was ineffective, and my soul shook violently at that moment, and it felt like a tide rushing back to my own body, but such a sudden return, like a taut rubber band being loosened and bounced to the flesh, my soul was also slightly injured by the shock.

And the beetle snake that took off in front of Liu Shengwang actually stopped in front of him, and the very anthropomorphic person stood up and made a strange hissing sound, and for a while I actually felt that the air was heating up.

"Don't look, let's go!" Master dragged me along.

Although I was full of curiosity about the snake, I had to follow Master's footsteps and run towards the depths of the mountain forest.

After running for more than 100 meters, I had entered the dense forest, I heard Liu Shengwang's miserable howl, I didn't know what was happening, I couldn't help but be curious, I glanced back, but saw the fire over there.

"Is it really a beetle?" I couldn't help but mumble to myself.

As he ran, Master said to me, "There are too many hidden things in this world, and there used to be a great vein, guarded by the soul of a true divine beast. Do you think I should believe or not? However, this snake, even if it is a beetle snake, it is also a young snake, and the real beetle snake will not pass so easily even if it is Wu Tianlai. ”

There was no road in the dense forest, overgrown with weeds and thorns, potholes in the middle, and mixed with stones, Master and I stumbled, extremely laborious, due to the injury of the soul, my whole person was not in a good state, while running out of breath, I felt extremely shocked, I seemed to think of something, but my mind was still on the snake that suddenly appeared, I couldn't help but ask Master, "Is that really a beetle snake?" What do we run if it's us? You don't have to run to be a baby snake. ”

In my thoughts, the best thing is to be able to hijack the car, and then 'fly away' with Master, and join everyone, this desolate uninhabited mountain forest, even beetles have appeared, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good place to go, what should I do if Master and I get lost in it? We are still two people who have been sealed with strength, just ordinary people who are a little stronger, even if we meet some kind of beast in it, too

But the master said, "Don't you think that Liu Shengwang is a good-looking person, your spiritual sense is strong, and your soul is also strong?" What did it feel like just now? ”

Speaking of the feeling just now, my cold sweat was wet, and I couldn't help but say: "Just now I felt that as long as it was a moment later, my soul would be pulled out." ”

"That's it! He actually guarded against me, and seemed to be wholeheartedly cleaning you up, but he didn't do his best. And that snake is even a beetle snake, don't you understand, the natural advantage also has to be acquired through growth, although it is amazing when it appears, but I can feel that it can't overpower that Liu Shengwang in terms of momentum. "Master ran more easily than me, and spoke fluently, and the strange thing was that he seemed to know where to run, and in this dense forest, there was no feeling of headless flies running around, and he took me very calmly.

"Then you're afraid that they will catch up again?" I couldn't help but ask.

"For this reason, these snakes that appear behind them are the key to the matter, but these snakes have become spirits, and it is impossible for us to really sacrifice them, at most it will delay some time. In addition, Wu Tian's ten generals, I heard a piece of news, that is, there are those who do things in the open, and there are those who respond secretly. "Master pulled them together and jumped over a deep ditch that had dried up, and said one more thing to me.

I didn't quite understand and asked Master, "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that they never do things alone, they always appear in the light and in the dark, and they have a special contact with each other. Even if we don't find out, we have to guard against it, you know? Master explained this to me.

Now that it was completely dark, Master and I didn't have flashlights with us when we ran, and even though I felt as if Master knew the way, my speed inevitably slowed down, and even Master stumbled.

But Master's words made me run like this, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, a Liu Shengwang is so difficult to deal with, if there is another Saint King? Besides, Master said that it was impossible for the beetle snake to really be able to clean up Liu Shengwang, and even if it could, those snakes would only delay time for us

In this situation, I feel a huge pressure when I think of it, and I want to run fast very much, but in this mountain forest, how can the speed be fast?

Master didn't want to hide anything from me, and told me even worse news, saying, "On the nails that are nailed to us, there are 'secret doors' (hidden methods), and at a certain distance, we can know our location in a special way. We're running away, time is tight! ”

Can it be worse? I thought we had escaped! Now in this situation, at this time, I wish I could give birth to four legs, but unfortunately, this is more impossible than letting me see all the strange beasts recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

My breathing became heavier and heavier, and Master became short of breath, but this dense forest, the weeds seemed to have no end, and under the moonlight, all kinds of strange cries filled my ears, making people more and more desperate.

At this time, I felt that the mysterious nail on my body began to tremble slightly, at first it was imperceptible, but then it did vibrate very obviously!

Because it was nailed to my flesh, I couldn't ignore it, but I just looked at Master helplessly and in a panic.

We have used all the tricks that can be used, in order to get rid of this predicament, even the master has to tell a 'lie', temporarily deceive Yang Sheng, if this time, we are 'caught' again, then there is really no room for maneuver, we can only fight to the death, and the result must be that we lose!

And losing means that we have to die, under normal circumstances, who really doesn't care about their life and death?

I got a response from the master at this glance, and he happened to look at me as well, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that that Liu Shengwang has been out of trouble and is looking for our position at this time." Otherwise, the nail would not have reacted like this. ”

"What the hell is that distance?" I gasped, trying to give myself a little hope in this predicament, like running without end, and running with purpose, the latter will make people more motivated.

"I don't know." The master smiled bitterly, but when he looked ahead, he still said, "Only by running, you can't give up any hope." ”

"Hmm!" I said yes, and Master and I continued to stumble through the dense forest.

Because it was a long mountain, we ran uphill, which was even more tiring, and I thought to myself, if there were pursuers behind, they should have caught up, and they should have run easier than me and Master, because using the secret method to track us, we are like two bright lights in the night.

I don't know if the word bright light gave me a hint, my back was numb all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but look back, but sure enough, I saw a little distance away from us, lit up with dotted lights!

I gasped, the pursuers are coming? So fast? And they have the tools for lighting, and it is only a matter of time before they catch up with us.

"Master." I couldn't help but shout weakly, and when the master heard this, he also turned back suddenly, he naturally saw this situation, and the beard on his face twitched a little, but he sighed and said to me, "Cheer up and keep running!" ”

What else can be done about this? I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, but at this time, the moon was a little pale and oppressive.

But it was also at this moment that I heard the sound of the bamboo flute, which seemed to be guiding our way ahead.

"Yes! Inherit one, work harder. Master suddenly became excited.

And I finally couldn't help it, and asked the master dissatisfiedly, "Master, who is that?" It's not exactly because of that powder, right? Is someone helping us? ”
