Chapter 30: Arriving at the Destination
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the thick ink covered the entire sky, Feng Lingyu picked up the black and white jade pendant around her neck and put it to her lips and blew it a few times, and a sound like 'hiss' came out of her mouth clearly.
After a while, another 'hiss' sound came from a distance, accompanied by the sound of rubbing the ground, getting louder and louder, until a black and yellow python with strange patterns snuggled at her feet, and the split red apricot sticks out from the flat snake's mouth, licking Feng Lingyu's neck to show intimacy.
Feng Lingyu caressed the snake's body with attachment, and muttered as if to a good partner who had been with her for many years: "Worm, you should go back to avoid the limelight, take him with you, and look back at the valley, okay?" β
The serpent seemed to understand her words, and shook his head back and forth at her, nodding, but still wrapped around her, and did not move.
"I know you're reluctant to leave me, but I have something important to do now, and it's inconvenient to take you with me, be obedient, I'll go back to you when I'm done, okay! The life and death of this person is a matter of my reputation, you have to protect him and take him back to see the old man, you must not have anything, understand? Feng Lingyu said with a rare soft voice.
The python blinked its slender demon red snake eyes, slowly slid to the ground, hissed a few times, threw out its thick tail, rolled the unconscious Ba Xiaotian in the thatch, wrapped a thick layer of grass around his body to prevent him from rubbing the ground and getting injured, and then slid into the night, farther and farther away.
Feng Lingyu watched the big snake disappear from sight, the scene in front of her seemed to be a line, split and closed, the dark night, it seemed to be silent as usual, but it was an undercurrent of waves, she tiptoed, and jumped towards the ecstasy cliff without hesitation.
The long night was accompanied by the flickering moon, revealing a faint yellow halo, and in the depths of the Ecstasy Cliff, a vague group of people was struggling to grope in the dark, and there was a ragged man not far ahead.
This is exactly Zhang Laohan and his party, who are still quietly following his delirious son, Zhang Sheng, who has not seen him for many years.
It's been about two or three hours of walking, and the villagers can't support their physical strength, all of them are out of breath, taking three breaks at a time, and their clothes are inevitably torn in a few places, which is quite embarrassing. What made them strange was that Zhang Sheng was as relaxed as walking on a flat avenue, his steps were smooth, not fast or slow, as if he was being pulled by some magical force!
Along the way, from time to time, crows suddenly flew by, and unknown living creatures fluttered and fluttered in the dense forest, and the movement was one after another, which made the people panic, and everyone was terrified, for fear that a terrible monster would suddenly jump out of nowhere and eat them without even the bones left.
Especially a few women, although they were protected by the men in front and behind and mixed in the middle, they were still trembling step by step, and they wished that their heads were full of eyes and that they could see the movements around them.
Finally, I don't know how long it took, when he was about to reach a swamp, Zhang Sheng stopped, and his originally expressionless face instantly showed a stupid smile.
Everyone secretly hid in the bushes, watching him kneel down, and reaching out to caress the surface of the swamp as if admiring a treasure like no other.
As he kept stroking, the swamp suddenly changed, and it began to condense, and the originally scattered silt slowly squeezed up in one placeγγγγγγ
