Chapter 17: Outwitting Cobra Gile
(I'll have a wonderful extended chapter over the weekend, and I wish you all a happy read.) By the way, ask for a recommendation. Thank you. )
Blood-red eyes, blood-red hooked mouth, brown feathers, wings more than two feet wide are much longer than the arm span, and a pair of large claws with sharp tips have been opened, and the dive speed is extremely fast.
It was too late to dodge, and the old monster squatted down and swung his stick at the same time.
The guy was huge and swooped fast, but he was clumsy enough to dodge, and the stick hit the giant bird right between the neck and the corners of its wings.
"Boom!"
At the same time as the stick broke, the giant bird also screamed, and its wings flapped into a strong wind, and it flew higher and farther into the sky.
The old monster threw away the half of the stick left in his hand, patted the bark and sawdust on his hand, looked at the giant bird in the distance, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that my old monster Qiao Shan was almost pecked by a bird here." ”
A new stick was sharpened and he was trying to harden it, when suddenly the neighing of a horse was heard.
The old monster heard clearly, this voice was extraordinary, there must be something new, and he pointed his toes on the ground and flew away.
A large round-eyed python with the thickness of a small bowl mouth and a triangular head shape was staring angrily at the horse, and when it heard the sound of the old monster landing on the ground, it arrogantly raised its neck and turned its head, revealing the eye-catching sign of the poisonous domination on its neck.
"Hehe! It turned out to be a big guy with glasses! The old monster is a thief, all the way, hurry up, come thousands of miles, just for you!"
The old monster of Qiao Shan pointed the other end of the stick at the cobra and shook it, observing the movement, and thinking about attacking to win the move.
The bespectacled guy saw that the stick had formed a threat to him, and suddenly became angry, and his body coiled up a foot away, and there was a pile the size of a bamboo basket, and the scales like copper coins were thick and shiny, and his neck stretched higher, revealing two half-cut chopsticks, and sharp fangs as sharp as steel drills, and more than a foot densely covered with blood-red letters with hooks and thorns, and the cobra was ready for all the preparations for the imminent attack.
The old monster stared at the cobra's eyes, hunched over, and cautiously walked with a catwalk.
From Wutai Mountain to Mount Emei, from a scholar who only smells the fragrance of books to an immortal among people who have cultivated into a monster, how many rings have he experienced in the ring, he has also experienced arduous battlefield tempering, Qiaoshan Old Monster is tired of hearing about it, but at this time, the old monster is not facing a martial arts master who has cultivated to the extreme, nor is he an outlaw with a sharp weapon in his hand, but an injection master who has no limbs, no wings, and cannot carry any offensive utensils, and a poisonous python born with a glasses pattern on his flat neck.
"Hero, don't be so serious, don't be so good? The old monster doesn't want your life, he just wants to borrow your guts. As he spoke, the old monster touched the waist knife on his waist with his other hand.
As if he understood the old monster's words, the cobra alertly stretched his neck a little more, his head did not move, and a pair of red round eyes stared intently at the old monster's every move, and even the old monster's face and subtle expression, as if to say, don't think! You took the guts of this king, what did this king take to digest you?
The horse flicked its tail and stepped aside, as if knowing that there was going to be a fierce battle here, and gave them enough room to use their skills, and after a few steps, stood there quietly, watching, waiting.
The old monster continued to walk in circles around the cobra, and soon made a circular path through the weeds.
The snake does not dare to underestimate the enemy, and has fully prepared for defense and first-class combat readiness to attack at any time, and wherever a person goes, his head turns and his eyes are fixed.
The old monster of Qiao Shan suddenly accelerated, the wind under his feet, and the light cat steps flew faster and faster, and the bespectacled guy was already dazzled by the constant rotation of his neck.
"Sneer, sneer...
Positive three circles, three circles, three positive circles, one circle, one circle, five circles, four circles······
The python's neck is like a play's braided hair on stage, and it keeps turning.
After a while, the grass around the cobra was trampled on by the old monster of Qiao Shan, and it became a circle road.
It is certain that the snake's neck has been shaken and its eyes have become confused.
The old monster still didn't dare to act rashly, and continued to tease the python with a stick, his body wanted to pounce and retreat, and he kept changing his posture, weakening the snake's defensive instinct little by little.
It's just a joke about this king!
A fierce animal, how could he accept such humiliation, the cobra couldn't bear it anymore, shrunk his bones and closed his breath, opened his mouth wide, and whistled and swallowed the old monster.
The old monster flashed and dodged.
The python turned its head suddenly, and its large mouth, inlaid with two steel fangs, recoiled towards the old monster.
Another flash, easily dodged, the old monster wondered, how to make the snake's body straightened?
The second time he threw himself into the air, the Eye King crossed his body and shook his head, as if he was dissatisfied with his actions.
The old monster of Qiao Shan really didn't want to kill this terrible guy, raised the stick, and the cat stepped forward and swung it down hard.
"Smack!"
Hit the head, the cobra felt the pain, and instantly became angry, "roaring" and popping its head out like a spring in the neck, bouncing at the head of the old monster of Qiaoshan.
The wide open mouth almost swallowed the old monster, if it weren't for Qiao Shan's quick movements, he might have changed from human body to food.
Qiaoshan old monster was shocked and sweated, no need for more teasing, the python began to take the initiative, where the old monster is, where the letter goes, the mouth swallows.
For a while, the old monster of Qiao Shan dodged and jumped, and his steps were very nervous.
No matter how dangerous the situation is, the old monster is reluctant to step out of this circle, because he is afraid that if he leaves this circle, the distance between him and the snake will be shortened, and if he lets him slip away, he will not achieve his goal.
Things are not what the old monster imagined, in the eyes of the cobra, although the uninvited dish in front of him is a little old and dry, it is better than nothing, and it is not willing to give up.
As the offensive became stronger and stronger, the cobra's sense of self-protection gradually weakened, and its body elongated day by day, and the circle coiled became smaller and smaller.
When a snake encounters a problem, its body immediately coils up, probably for two reasons.
First, protect seven inches.
Second, it is convenient to attack.
The cobra, who had been dizzy by the old monster of Qiaoshan, had long forgotten to protect the seven inches, and only thought about clamping this naughty prey, injecting venom into him, and then slowly digesting this delicious food into its own energy.
The cobra was annoyed, and its mouth was wide open so that the old monster could see its white and red ring bones.
At this time, the old monster of Qiao Shan threw away the wooden stick and pulled out the waist knife, and the cat's legs jumped.
The body of the cobra is like a lift.
"Huh!"
The entire body is almost in the shape of "|" The shape stands upright, and its mouth is wide open to catch the prey that is about to fall.
The old monster Qiao Shan flipped his head in the air, his body fell upside down, and at the same time as he pushed away the snake's head with one palm, the sharp waist knife had already cut through the seven inches of the cobra, and took off the snake gall that was stirring with green juice in the white leather coat.
The python's body contracted sharply in pain, and its wide-open head shook and stretched out to the breach.
A young man with a snake gall in his hand flew on his horse, "Go!" The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the surrounding animals and birds.

On the Qiongdong practice platform.
Zhou Mengyuan fed Dou Ya'er the last bite of food.
"Have you eaten enough?"
"Hmm. I'm full. Brother Yuan, where did you learn to cook?"
"Foolishness. My grandmother is blind and sometimes has to do it for her. ”
"You're such a great grandson of Grandma. I want to learn from you! Brother Yuan, if the master doesn't come back today, my eyes will be blind, Brother Yuan, no one will pay attention to me, can you cook me a meal to eat? Hehe, it's a very simple kind. ”
"I've learned from you to be confident, to trust the people around you, and not to worry about cursing them. I believe in everything about the master, and I believe that he has rushed back within a hundred miles. ”
"If only that were the case. I can see my mother, you and my master, Brother Yue and I can see them and so many people I want to see. After hesitating for a moment, Dou Ya'er said, "Brother Yuan, let me touch your eyes, okay?"
Zhou Mengyuan didn't think about it, grabbed Dou Ya'er's slender little hand and touched it to his eyes.
"I wish my eyes could send you energy! If my eyesight drops a lot in exchange for your sight, I'm willing!"
As soon as she heard these words, Dou Ya'er, who was rarely loved by others, suddenly changed her voice and became the kind of crying.
"I would rather be blind and never see anything for the rest of my life, rather than lose your eyesight in the slightest. Grabbing Zhou Mengyuan's hand with both hands, he shook it vigorously and said, "Brother's kindness, my sister understands it." Meeting you in the vast sea of people is the creation of God and the luck of the buds. We have a common revenge for killing relatives and need to be avenged, and everyone has self-destructed, so won't revenge become an empty word? You must live well, live with bright eyes, listen to the teachings of the master, and avenge us and all those who have been harmed by Qi rampant!"
I don't know when, Dou Ya'er snuggled up in Zhou Mengyuan's arms, her ruddy and beautiful face was enjoying the gentle caress of her hot fingertips.
"The candle is about to burn. I'm going to get a new one. ”
Although he said it in his mouth, Zhou Mengyuan didn't move at all.
Dou Ya'er was enjoying the feeling of being loved, and she was even more reluctant to let Zhou Mengyuan let go of herself, "Are you afraid of the dark? Anyway, I can't see anything, it's the same with or without light." ”
"Who says you can't see anything, it's the same with or without light? You doll who doesn't want to see the light again. ”
"Master, it's Master!"
The two teenagers spoke in unison, and they were immediately ecstatic.
Dou Ya'er stood up.
Zhou Mengyuan stepped forward to greet him.
Old Monster Qiao Shan was even more anxious, "Go and bring the candle, I want to give Xiao Ya'er medicine." ”
Under candlelight.
The old monster opened a small, delicate porcelain jar, and his index finger and thumb reached in and pinched out the snake gall.
Zhou Mengyuan looked at such a big snake gall and was suspicious.
The old monster took the snake gall on the top of the small porcelain altar, carefully pierced the gallbladder leather coat with the tip of the waist knife, and the turquoise bile slowly flowed out and dripped into the altar, and took out a cloth bag from his waist and slowly opened it, poured a full cassia seed into the altar, covered the lid, and shook it lightly a few times.
"Mengyuan, go get the spoon, the master is going to feed the medicine to the buds. ”
Dou Ya'er took a sip, and immediately frowned bitterly, "Why is it so bitter? And it smells fishy, so bitter that my two cheeks are about to cramp, and the fishy little bud wants to vomit." ”
"Then don't eat it, let this cloth be covered like this forever, it can absorb sweat in summer, and it can protect against cold in winter. "The old monster deliberately Dou Ya'er was in a hurry.
"No, no matter how bitter it is, I will eat it. I want my eyes to get better soon, I want to see Brother Yuan, see if he has lost weight for me in the past few days... Hey. And, of course, my beloved master, blame you. Hey, hey, hey. ”
The old monster said with a smile while feeding Dou Ya'er "snake gall bladder restorative medicine": "You doll who likes the new and hates the old, and is heavy on color and light friends. I haven't seen him for a few days, so I put my master behind. I hurt you in vain!"
Unable to think of the words of redemption for a while, Dou Ya'er just smirked hard, "Hey, hey, hey." ”
Zhou Mengyuan was not amused, his face was still solemn, "Master, the disciple dares to ask you, did you take this courage from the snake with your own eyes?"
"Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?"
"I, I..." Zhou Mengyuan touched the back of his head and said, "I'm afraid the snake doesn't have such courage." How do I think, it's more like pig gall. ”
"Ah, Pig Gall, Master, can you coax me!" Dou Ya'er said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Meng Yuan's question made sense. Your worries, though, are unnecessary. This snake gall was not bought, nor was it asked for by others, but it was taken by me personally at the height of a spectacle python. ”
"I picked it up myself!" the two teenagers were shocked.
"Yes! The old monster had never seen a snake stand upright. ”
"Scared the hell out of you, didn't you?"
"I was shocked into a few cold sweats. However, the old monster firmly believes that although it is a highly poisonous python, it will die when it touches a tooth, but it is not a snake spirit, and there is no seventy-seven forty-nine changes; Haha! Mengyuan, you follow me out of the cave and go and see the heaven-sent horse that has more credit than me. ”
"I'm going too. "When I heard that it was a heaven-sent horse, Dou Ya'er couldn't afford to lag behind.
"Why don't you see anything, and when you get better, Master will give you this steed." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! When I get this horse, I'm going to braid its mane and tail, and tie it with colorful stripes, and show it off to Brother Yue. ”
Old Monster Qiao Shan and Zhou Mengyuan had already come out of the cave, and Dou Ya'er's loud speech became self-talk.
The old monster Zhou Mengyuan and the two came to the entrance of the cave and didn't see the horses, but only saw the saddle and stirrups that were newly equipped at the county inn when they set off.
"Who is so bold to steal your horse so quickly, it can't be Qi Hengxing's subordinates who did it, right?"
"I see. What a miracle from heaven!"
The old monster of Qiao Shan stroked his sparse white beard that was pouting forward, nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
