Chapter 18: The Snakes
But is it really quiet? Master didn't have any expression, just focused on smoking dry tobacco, as if the cigarette was too sweet, he couldn't leave it for a moment, and I couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Master's gourd, the cigarette was no better than dry tobacco, and it had quickly burned to the end.
I had a calm face, but I actually threw away the cigarette butt in my hand with a slight agitation, and after less than five seconds, I took out another cigarette and lit it.
"Yo, I'm quite addicted to smoking. Is that against me? "That Liu Shengwang's yin and yang weird voice came from above our heads.
Actually, what I didn't explain was that he was like this all the way, and he had a bit of a way to show us Ma Wei, but Master and I didn't pick up his 'stubble' and were 'honest', so he was also quite boring.
didn't explain, and it was just because he didn't care, but he didn't expect him to be a little unwilling, and he began to squeeze people again between his words.
I wondered, did he naturally have a 'sense of crisis' because my master and I were going to Yang Sheng, afraid that we would be reused, and then couldn't help but squeeze two sentences?
But this time, because of my anxiety and the reason why I had to stay outside, I replied to him: "It's addictive, can it?" ”
That Liu Shengwang was stunned for a moment, his face became gloomy again, and he just wanted to say something, but there was a 'rustling' sound in the dense forest in the wilderness, and in the heat, there was a very faint cool breeze, could it be that God also sympathized with my anxiety, so let a gust of wind help me calm down?
But this was obviously not the case, and in just three or five seconds, a series of exclamations came from the camping camp.
Liu Shengwang was shocked that something was wrong, and turned around all of a sudden, and I couldn't hold back my strong curiosity, and stood up with a 'Huo' sound, and then I saw snakes, a lot of snakes, in such a small camp with only two tents, it was crowded with snakes that I don't know where they came from, and I took a cursory look, there were at least thirty or more.
These snakes are not a fixed species, I don't know anything about snakes, although I have 'close contact' with the terrifying existence among them, to the level of the dragon, but I can still roughly distinguish between poisonous snakes and non-venomous ones.
In short, the round head is not poisonous, the pointed head is poisonous, I can tell this at a glance with this little common sense, and the rest are just subconsciously staring blankly.
"Fuck me, we broke into the snake's den?" One person couldn't help but curse loudly.
After all, it is a person in the circle of cultivators, not to mention thirty or forty snakes, even if it is doubled, it will not make people panic, especially these wrapped and extremely tight guys, it seems to be extremely mysterious.
Although they were a little scrambling, they almost 'pinched' a snake to death as soon as they made a move, and their movements were extremely fast, faster than these snakes that attacked them frantically, even if they were inevitably bitten, they didn't care at all.
Faced with such a scene, that Liu Shengwang's first reaction was to glance at me and Master angrily, but I just looked over there curiously, and Master only glanced twice, and continued to smoke dry tobacco in the old god, after all, there are dozens of poisonous snakes, and my master's reaction is also within the normal range.
In short, there is nothing suspicious about us, we are sealed with power, or even just innocent smoking, what is so suspicious?
Therefore, Liu Shengwang just glanced at us like this, and the next moment he thought it was unlikely, so he turned to those subordinates and said, "Snake, hurry up."
He probably wanted to say that he would deal with it quickly, but before he finished speaking, from the depths of the forest and grass, more snakes poured out, this time no longer on the scale of dozens, but hundreds of them at once
If there are so many snakes, I think we will be in danger, at least the cultivators are still mortals, and they can't resist the bite of these snakes, my first reaction is to pull the master into the tent, and the master is holding a dry cigarette in his mouth, and glanced at Liu Shengwang: "I understand Yang Sheng's temper, you are responsible for escorting us, I hope you can send us to the ground unharmed." ”
Then the Master stood up, and it seemed that the smoke had burned to the end, and he let me drag him into the tent, and I couldn't figure out whether he had made it or not.
I just saw that Liu Shengwang was choked by my master's words and couldn't speak, and a small poisonous snake rushed towards him at this time, from behind, but he didn't turn around at all, just looked at my master with some resentment, and then raised his hand casually, and his two fingers stretched out very strongly, as if he was caught something.
I saw strangely that the poisonous snake was caught in the air, and after struggling for less than a second, it softened, Liu Shengwang withdrew his finger, and the snake fell to the ground with a 'snap'.
"It seems that you are good, so you don't need me to worry." Master said very easily, and went into the tent with me, of course, without forgetting to close the door of the tent firmly.
The master, who was relaxed just now, looked a little worried in the blink of an eye, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "He is stronger than I thought, and this is just a subordinate." ”
Who is he? I didn't ask such a stupid question, obviously referring to Liu Shengwang, three days ago, he once attacked me, that time had shocked me, but it was only shock, how did he attack people's souls with his hands in the void.
And just now, he shouldn't have deliberately shown off, but just an unintentional shot, but it really shocked me.
I don't really want to admit this feeling, because admitting that my enemy is strong, and the feeling of this pressure can be suffocating, but I have to face this reality, and I think Master must feel the same way, right?
But Master just muttered something like that, and then took a newspaper that I had read when I was bored, and a bottle of mineral water that I had casually thrown in the tent.
Then, he poured the dry cigarette ash that had just been extinguished and was still boiling hot in the dry tobacco pot on the newspaper, rolled the newspaper into a roller, unscrewed the lid of the mineral water, carefully poured the dust into the mineral water bottle, tightened the lid, and shook it vigorously.
The water in the bottle quickly turned into a strange gray-white color under Master's preparation, and he took a closer look, then opened the bottle and splashed the gray-white water inside on me and him.
When Master did everything, his hands and feet were very fast, and it took less than a minute to complete, and in this process, I was very quiet until I finished all this, and then Master sighed with peace of mind, and said in a very low voice, "You don't need me to explain anything, right?" ”
"What's the problem?" I asked in a whisper.
The master didn't speak, he took the dry tobacco stick, his fingers moved dexterously, and I didn't know what mechanism he had touched, but I found that there was a small space under the smoke pot that could be popped out, and there was some yellow-brown powder in it.
"Is that the powder?" I asked with some surprise, and at the same time I was impressed by the delicate design of this dry tobacco stick, and the carved pattern on it also just right to hide this hidden little mechanism.
"The show is ahead, let's start slowly." Master didn't answer me specifically, but opened a small corner of the tent window, and fresh air came in, relieving my heat, but at the same time, there was a foul smell, as if it belonged to snakes, and there was a faint smell of blood, it should be snake blood?
In addition to this, it was the increasingly strong sound of 'rustling', and then I realized that it was not the sound of the wind blowing the forest and weeds at all, but the unique sound of the snake crawling in the mountain forest.
I was still wondering how such a small wind could cause such a strong reaction. However, when I think about it, the sound of crawling causes such a movement, so how many snakes must there be?
Master smoked that bag of cigarettes, shouldn't it attract snakes from the entire mountain forest?
There was a heavy wheezing sound outside, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, not to mention this is a snake all over the mountains? But I also believe that Liu Shengwang and his entourage should not sit still like this.
Sure enough, the door of our tent was opened all of a sudden, and Liu Shengwang yelled at us with an unusually ugly face: "Go, you can't stay here." Dare to take advantage of the chaos to do anything, be careful that Lao Tzu leaves you to feed the snakes! ”
