Chapter 401: The White-headed Viper

readx;

After looking around, there was no trace of the big bear, and it seems that the two guys have gone away on their own. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That's really ...... I'm speechless.

"This bear thing, leave without saying hello." I nagged with some dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Li Dong said: "Maybe there is another reason, this big bear has a mysterious identity, who knows if it left by himself or was summoned by someone." ”

"Summoning Beast!?" I said in surprise.

Li Dong smiled: "Hehe, you've read too many novels, have you ever seen a real beast tamer?" ”

I replied, "No, I've only seen the circus trainer, who just whistles and directs the animals to do what they are told?" ”

Li Dongdao: "Those are for the audience to see, animal trainers can usually summon pet beasts from a long distance, some can do it more than ten kilometers away, they use a special high-frequency whistle, this kind of whistle you can hardly hear the sound, but the animal can clearly capture, especially in the process of long-distance transmission, the whistle will not be covered by the noise of low frequency in nature." ”

I reacted immediately: "You mean to say that someone called the big bear away with a whistle in the distance?" ”

Li Dong said: "It's just that there is this possibility, let's find a way to find the Crystal Heavenly Palace by ourselves, and don't expect the big bear to lead the way." ”

I scolded a few more unrighteous bears, and then I grabbed my backpack and hit the road.

With Xiaoxiao leading the way in front, we have a lot of peace of mind, and some potential dangers in the forest will be avoided by Xiaoxiao one by one.

After climbing a hill, you enter a relatively open valley, where the trees are relatively sparse and less shady, and some herbivores and birds are more abundant, and it looks more like a forest on TV.

However, when I arrived here, I suddenly had a subtle feeling that I was in a vast field, and it was like walking in the desert for a long time and suddenly entering an ocean.

But we're still in the forest, and I don't know why I feel that way.

The further I went, the more I could perceive the difference between the two forests, the forest I had passed before felt a little lifeless, and here it seemed full of life, the whole forest seemed to come alive, but it was just ...... It was as if I was being watched from afar, as if someone had magnified me with a microscope and looked closely.

It was an inexplicable feeling, a completely intuitive feeling, and I subconsciously stopped, closed my eyes and touched everything around me.

When I calmed down, I immediately realized that the subtle feeling came from the mountain range under my feet, which is a natural and pure heaven and earth aura, and it seems that this is the essence of the Divine Dragon Frame.

Xiaoxiao pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "That is the Ice Cave Mountain, halfway up the mountain, where I saw the mirage." ”

With the goal set to come, we quickened the pace, but fortunately there were few trees, mostly low amaranth grasses, and some bushes. It is not suitable for large animals to hide their bodies, with a wide view and abundant vegetation. So it attracts a lot of herbivores, as well as some reptiles.

At this point, our path was blocked by a snake.

The snake is less than a meter long, has a blackish-brown back with vermilion horizontal spots, an olive gray belly with small white dots scattered throughout, a yellowish-white epidermis on the head and neck with dark brown markings, and a triangular head with arrowheads.

Although it looks like a small snake, I always feel that it exudes a strong danger, and it may be because of my natural fear of snakes.

Li Dong said at this time: "This seems to be a viper." ”

When I saw that he knew this snake, I immediately asked, "Is this snake poisonous?" ”

Li Dong said solemnly: "It is highly poisonous. ”

Highly toxic!? I got nervous, looked around, and asked him, "This thing doesn't live in groups, does it?" Will there be other snakes nearby? ”

Li Dongdao: "No, the snake moves alone. Only when it is time to hibernate in the winter will they get together to warm up. As long as it doesn't feel threatened, it won't be attacked, and we'll get around here. ”

"Huh? Tiny, what are you doing?! Come back quickly, that's a poisonous snake! I yelled at the little one.

I don't know when, Xiaoxiao actually took a branch and went around to the side of the viper, it seemed that she wanted to catch the snake.

After I shouted, the snake ran away into the grass.

"What's going on here? Doesn't it mean that snakes don't have hearing? I turned my head and asked Li Dong.

Li Dong said: "The snake does not have an ear canal and eardrum, but it does not mean that it cannot feel sound, and the snake can very keenly capture the vibrations around it." Now that it's gone, I'm going to get out of here. ”

Xiao Xiao shouted, "Oops, you scared it away!" Did you know that this snake is very valuable, and there are several foreigners who specialize in buying this snake at a high price. ”

Seeing her look like a little money fan, I smiled and said, "Look at the way you hold a branch, you know that you can't catch a snake, you are like a spearfish, no matter how valuable this snake is, you have to have a life to take it." Don't do such stupid things in the future, your mother will worry about you. By the way, you seem to know this kind of snake, what's the matter with the foreigner you are talking about? ”

Xiaoxiao threw the branch, sighed, and said, "Although I haven't caught a snake, I've heard others say how to catch a snake, so it should be okay to be careful." This snake is called the white-headed viper, and those foreigners are zoological experts, and they have shown us photos and want to buy this snake for research, but the white-headed viper is too rare and no one has ever caught it. ”

"Do research? How much did they offer for the acquisition? I asked curiously.

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to make a gesture of two, and I asked, "Twenty thousand?" ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "No, it's 200,000 dollars." ”

"Sizzle! …… That's a lot! Is this thing so valuable? I asked Li Dong on the side.

Li Dong nodded and said: "Rare things are expensive, this price is not outrageous." The black market price of the Mangshan Iron Head Snake in Hunan is more than one million, just because there are less than 500 of these things, and only that one place has them. ”

I asked again, "This snake is so venomous and so expensive, what are you buying it for?" Is it just for research? ”

Li Dong said disdainfully: "The research of bullshit is all guys who can't afford to be early." Do you know that the price of one gram of ordinary five-step snake venom is more than 400 yuan, which is still artificially cultivated. The medicinal value of snake venom is very large, and in recent years, there have been more and more snake venom beauty products, resulting in high snake venom prices. ”

I regretted letting go of the snake when he said it, but just think about it, it's still a small life, and if you take your life for money, it will be worth the loss.

However, I always felt that there was something different about this white-headed viper, like the big bear, which made me feel full of spirituality, but it had already run away and could no longer look closely, so I had to give up for the time being.

We chatted as we cautiously walked up the hill. After walking for nearly two hours, I came to Xiaoxiao's designated position, and I was already tired and sweating.

Xiao Xiao looked very relaxed, she stood on top of a boulder, pointed to the northwest sky, and said, "Every time it rains, there will be a rainbow on this side, and on the other side, there is the location of the mirage." The other side she was pointing to was to the northeast.

I asked her, "Have you looked around here?" ”

Novel: "Of course I looked, I searched almost the entire area of the mountain, there was not a house at all, and a few times, I almost got lost but finally walked out." ”

"Lost? Are they all in the same place? I asked, confused.

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, it's all in the valley over there, where the environment is a little complicated, and it's easy to go the wrong way." She pointed to the valley farther southwest.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but light up in my eyes, if there was a suspicious target, then that valley should be the most suspicious. After seeing a lot of various formations, after listening to the small description, I directly thought of this aspect.

I glanced at Li Dong, who was constantly gesturing on the ground, and didn't disturb him, knowing that he was calculating our fortune at this time.

After about a cigarette, Li Dong looked up at the valley in the southwest, and said, "Ding." Wonji, Hyung. ”
