Chapter 396: Danger
"When I was fighting with Beirong, I once led my troops to chase into the hinterland of Black Eagle Mountain, and led my cavalry guards to fight with the general of Beirong in Black Eagle Mountain for seven days and nights, and finally cut down the general with a knife," Camuron threw the fish to Luo Yunshuang and strode ashore, "The food I brought with me has long been eaten, and when I am hungry, I can only find something to eat in the forest, and the guards are tired, so I can no longer let them serve me, I have done things like this, such things as going up the tree to catch birds and going down to the river to catch fish." ”
"I now finally know why the southern steppes have been provocative, and the conditions on all sides are better than those in the north, but they have never been able to defeat the north." Luo Yunshuang lit up the fire, and said with a smile while adding dead branches to the fire, "Big brother, you are a long-awaited leader, sooner or later, the Qilan Grassland will merge in the north and south in your hands and restore unification." ”
"I hope so!" Kamulon laughed.
"Definitely." With a confident and determined smile on her face, Luo Yunshuang casually grabbed the dead branches and fallen leaves beside her to add to the fire, while talking to Kamulon.
"Beware!" Kamulon suddenly grabbed her wrist, Luo Yunshuang lowered his head, and then found that what he was about to catch was not a dead branch, but a gray-brown flat-headed poisonous snake, the light green markings of the snake body, mixed with the dead branches all over the ground, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.
Kamulon grabbed the poisonous snake, cut it in two with a single knife, and immediately took her hand to examine it carefully, "Have you been bitten?" Why are you so careless? ”
His tone was worried, and he checked her hand over and over again, Luo Yunshuang looked at his concerned expression, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, subconsciously retracted his hand, and smiled, "It's okay, I haven't touched it!" ”
The sky is getting dark, the night is falling, and everything is silent between heaven and earth.
Hector and his guards formed a semicircle, facing the way they came, protecting Kamulon and Luo Yunshuang in the innermost, Luo Yunshuang's back was a huge stone wall, and on the other side of the stone wall was a pool of lake water, which was the campsite selected by Kamulon, with his back against the mountain wall, very safe.
After a long journey all night and day, everyone was very tired, and they slept soundly together.
Under the light cyan moonlight, a slender shadow slowly rose in the corner of the pool against the mountain wall, and from a distance, the shadow kept squirming higher and higher, projecting on the mountain wall, like a water wave that kept swimming.
I don't know when the fire went out, Camuron turned over and woke up, burned the fire more vigorously, then looked around carefully, and fell asleep on Luo Yunshuang's side.
The weary man always fell asleep quickly, and in a moment the forest fell silent again. Under the moonlight, the strange shadow of the stone wall money in the waterhole slowly resurfaced, squirming slightly, slowly and silently approaching the sleeping crowd.
Hector and his guards all fell asleep facing the way they came, their alertness was first-class, once there was any change in the way, they would definitely wake up at the first time, they had their backs to the pool, no one would have thought that there would be any problems with this pool, this pool was not big, it was surrounded by stone walls on three sides, the stone walls were very steep, there were no weeds, they couldn't hide people at all, the water in the pool was clear and you could see the sand and stones at the bottom of the water, at dusk, everyone was still fishing in this pool and washing their faces, and they all knew that there would be no problem with the pool water, Therefore, everyone's attention was focused on the forest where the pursuers were most likely to lurk.
The slender shadow approached silently, and had reached the huge stone that Luo Yunshuang was leaning on, slowly getting higher and higher, getting closer and closer to Luo Yunshuang, the moonlight shone obliquely, and the smoke-like shadow stopped for a moment, and then gradually approached Luo Yunshuang!
At the moment when the shadow was about to attack Luo Yunshuang, she suddenly felt a strong killing intent coming, her eyes opened violently, and she subconsciously rolled on the spot and dodged!
Just between the calcium carbide firelight, the shadow rushed down, facing Luo Yunshuang's position just now. It didn't expect Luo Yunsheng to dodge in time and hit his head on the stone. The tail swings uncontrollably, making a big splash!
Luo Yunshuang was shocked, it turned out to be a big snake, if it wasn't for the danger she felt in her sleep just now, I'm afraid she would have died in the belly of this big snake by now.
One of the guards who slept closest to the pool and had his back to the pool suddenly felt a chill on his face, as if he had been splashed by the pool water, and he wiped off the water droplets on his face while wondering how the pool water could suddenly splash on his face. Subconsciously opened his eyes, and before he spoke, he felt something cold and soft around his neck, the guard was shocked, subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it, and ripped off the thing, and the two hands were already broken, and there was a light green liquid splashed all over the hand, subconsciously avoided, and when he looked down and saw the half of the gray-brown snake body in his hand, he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, and his eyes touched the black python not far from him, and he was suddenly shocked!
Pit Viper!
The new guards slammed, they didn't expect to encounter the most terrifying pit viper in the legend, this kind of thing is said to be a large group as soon as it appears, and the sense of revenge is very strong, if the snakes in their group are harmed, they will not give up without revenge. The guard turned around sharply, and saw behind him, countless pit vipers were crowded together, each with a large mouth with sharp fangs, and dark green snake eyes staring at everyone.
The guard looked at the terrifying scene in front of him, and subconsciously raised his knife to slash, but suddenly he felt that his whole body couldn't move, and every muscle in his body was slowly stiffening......
And this was just a matter of an instant, Luo Yunshuang had already woken up everyone with a low scream. The moment Kamulon opened his eyes, he grabbed his big knife, and at the same time turned Luo Yunshuang behind him with his left hand, and slashed at the pool with his backhand!
There was a huge splash on the surface of the water, which washed away half of the dense group of snakes, and in the hazy moonlight, it was faintly clear that countless snakes were squeezing and swimming in the pool.
The guards rushed up, all looking at the pool with wary and solemn expressions. Kamulon's gaze also fell on the water, looked at the group of snakes, and said coldly, "These things are extremely vindictive. They must have come to avenge the snake that died during the day, and since they have already killed one, then kill all the rest, and if they don't die, then it is us who die! ”
The guards nodded in unison, they knew that as long as these pit vipers left a little wound on the human body, it was enough to kill people, making people unguardable, and their bodies were more slippery than ordinary snakes, and their movements were as fast as the wind.
Luo Yunshuang rolled and hid behind the boulder, watching the guards fight against those pit vipers, these pit vipers were really flexible, gasped, and asked, "What are these things?" Not like your average snake? We didn't even know that we could gather so much in a short period of time, and we were so close! ”
"This is a unique pit viper in the dense forest of Qilan Mountain, it is said that they have been cursed by the power of darkness, and they are more aggressive than ordinary snakes. Kamulon said quickly, "I guess the snake that killed them at dusk attracted them." ”
Luo Yunshuang frowned, and asked in amazement, "No, that snake still has some green patterns on its body in the evening, and it doesn't look like them." ”
"This snake is green when it is young, it will slowly turn black as it grows older, and it will completely turn gray when it becomes an adult, it was my negligence, I always thought that this snake was just a legendary thing, and I didn't want it to really exist."
Kamulon sighed and said, "We have to find a way to deal with them completely, otherwise we will have a lively journey!" ”
Luo Yunshuang thought for a while, took out a few bottles and cans from her arms, and said, "Poison them!" ”
"It's useless," Kamulon said as he grabbed her and persuaded her, "the pit viper itself is highly poisonous, so if you are afraid of your poison, beware of accidentally hurting someone." ”
"It's better to use a thunderbolt!" Jiang Yushu said, "I saw that the guards were equipped with thunder bombs before, and they were not afraid of explosions. ”
"These snakes are all in the water, how to use thunderballs? If we blow them up everywhere and don't kill them, we won't be able to prevent it. ”
Kamulon suddenly smiled and said, "Although these things are troublesome, they can also help us a lot if they are used properly." ”
He took a small bottle from his bosom, rubbed some of the glittering powder on himself, and poured the rest onto the burning fire.
Luo Yunshuang asked curiously, "Isn't this a unique tracking powder on the grassland?" Big brother, what is this going to do? ”
Kamulon smiled mysteriously, "These snakes have lived in the dense forest for many years, all kinds of senses have been degraded, but there is still a vague recognition of the light, I leave this gold dust on the fire, once the pursuers come, they will definitely come to the side of this fire to check, and the tracking powder will naturally be glued to the body, and then, just wait for the revenge of the pit viper!" ”
After Kamulon finished speaking, he jumped up with his long knife, swept over the heads of the guards, and in a flash of cold light, he split the head of the serpent into two parts, and the remaining thin snakes, which were fluttering one after another, flew quickly in the water, and rushed towards him like arrows.
Everyone had fled far away, and in the blink of an eye, they had run more than a dozen feet away. Camuron walked last, tore off his coat stained with tracking powder with one hand, threw it out, and then sprinkled out another handful of tracking powder, and those pit vipers chased after them, and saw the bright light in all directions, and chased along the light for a while, and everyone had already climbed the tree, and moved away from the treetops, and ran far away, until they were sure to escape from the pit viper's tracking circle.
The guard, who had died from the tongue kiss, was also brought out by the other companions, and everyone dug a pit together and buried him.
The group mourned for a while, and continued on, the road in the dense forest seemed to be the same, there was no sense of direction at all, and the guards took turns looking at the vines and thorns, still inevitably cutting their clothes by some bushes left on both sides. Luo Yunshuang walked while carefully paying attention to the movement in the forest. I don't know why, he always had a feeling that this forest was different from the road he had walked before, as if somewhere around, someone had been looking at them with gloomy eyes.
However, despite this feeling, in fact, they were much safer than they were yesterday, because there were far fewer beasts following them, and it took a lot of effort for them to even try to beat a rabbit for dinner.
