Chapter 1155: Snake Walk

"Stick to it, there are 20 miles to the post station, and when you get to the post station, you can have a good sleep with hot rice and hot water!"

The car dragon winded for miles, but the people and horses were getting slower and slower. The captains of the guards in front and behind had to ride their horses in a roundabout way, cheering everyone on, and cheering one after another.

Rushing is very boring, and even more vigilant people will become numb after a long time of traveling. Thirsty, sore, tired, sticky on the face and body, getting more and more uncomfortable. However, many people's hearts have been tempered, and they are very resolute and will not complain about hardship.

Looking at the time again, the sun has passed overhead, and it has sunk halfway, and it is estimated that in another hour and a half, the day will be dark.

And from morning to afternoon, everyone was accompanied by the howl of wolves and beasts. Fortunately, the coyotes and the rest of the beasts did not come to the door. Only the three unlucky dart masters and guards in the big merchants in front stepped on a few big red chain snakes passing by, but they were bitten, and through the cotton pants, the feet and necks were swollen like steamed buns. However, there was a physician who knew a little about detoxification and had an antidote to common snake venom. The wounded were cleaned, powdered, administered, treated with medicine, treated as a wounded, and got into the car and lay down.

Feng Gao, Yu Qiuxia, and Wu Datou may have felt that this was an opportunity to make friends with Boss Chen, so they took the guards to the front to offer condolences, but unfortunately they didn't see Boss Chen, and only found out the injuries of the three unlucky guards. Although the wound was cleaned and the medicine was dressed, they were unconscious.

Wu Datou also deliberately went to the back of Chelong, found Zhang Weidong, and sighed: "This person, you can't get sick." This wilderness is full of dangers, and you are bitten by a snake. If you're lucky, you can carry it, and if you're unlucky, you'll get into it. ”

He has been engaged in border business for more than ten years. Every once in a while, there will be casualties, fighting thieves, fighting wild beasts, and beware of traps and accidents along the way. This poisonous snake and poisonous insect is one of the accidents. As a result, the loss rate of the merchant's dart master and bodyguard is usually not low.

Almost all merchants, dart masters, and guards, after completing a trade, will recuperate for a period of time to recover their bodies and minds before embarking on a long journey.

Two horses ride side by side. Wu Datou's guards rode later.

Seeing that Wu Datou was melancholy, Zhang Weidong asked: "Is it dangerous to go through border trade?"

"Dangerous! How is it not dangerous?" Wu Datou immediately became excited. "In addition to the big merchants, the small merchants do business three or five times a year, and if they are lucky, they will lose thirty or forty people for a hundred people, and sometimes they will all go inside!"

Wu Datou pointed to his convoy again, the dozen or so cars were full of heavy goods, but the goods were tightly covered, and I didn't know what was underneath.

"These goods, people, and horses are all fragrant and sweet. I want to take a bite of everything, and many times, there is no other way for merchants to fight to the death to protect the enemy. Many people did not die at the hands of the enemy. But the injury worsens, and the doctor becomes more important. However, even if there is a large reward. There are not many doctors who are willing to risk their lives to follow the merchants, and they are accompanied by doctors. It is basically the treatment of a big businessman. ”

As he spoke, Wu Datou turned sideways on the horse. hugged his fists and said: "Doctor Zhang, I have to rely on you on the next road, of course, I understand the rules of Yonghetang." ”

"Well said!" Zhang Weidong agreed.

Wu Datou came with a heart and left satisfied.

There are highly poisonous things in the wilderness, Zhang Weidong knows about it, and naturally he can't help but take precautions. He took out some insect repellent snake powder equipped with realgar, the effect was stronger, and it was quickly distributed, and even the horses and mules were sprinkled with some smell.

Not only that, but Zhang Weidong also took out a black clay pot from a car, which he had accidentally collected and bought from a peddler.

However, the contents emitted a strong smell of urine, which made people hide their noses.

"Master, what is this?" Zhao Gongjian rushed over in response, opened it and looked at it, and was immediately choked.

Zhang Weidong said with a smile: "This is a good thing, and it was not easy to collect it." This road is not very smooth, poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, and even wild beasts infested to attack the convoy, all of which have to be guarded against. The dirt and dung in it came from the king of the wilderness, the 'Wild Lion', and with it, it is estimated that ordinary beasts dare not approach. ”

As far as Zhang Weidong knows, on this planet, the king of the forest has the 'elephant tooth tiger', the king of the wilderness has the 'desolate lion', the king of the grassland has the 'overlord eagle', the king of the sky has the 'kamikaze pterodactyl', and so on. Many large birds and beasts are not found on the earth, or have existed but have become extinct.

Just like the vast wilderness on the border between the two countries, there are dangerous existences, including highly poisonous insects and snakes, coyotes, leopards and hyenas, giant vultures, and wild lions.

If he hadn't learned from books and life, Zhang Weidong wouldn't have believed that there were such rich biological resources on this planet with extremely poor vitality. Nature, or the evolution or evolution under the Heavenly Dao, is so complex.

Zhang Weidong sighed slightly, as if he had an understanding.

Even, Zhang Weidong had doubts, did the Dao of Heaven really collapse tens of thousands of years ago?

What is the Heavenly Dao and how the Heavenly Dao evolves, Zhang Weidong has no idea. After all, that kind of mystical was too far away from him, and his realm was far from enough.

When Zhao Gongjian heard that this thing was actually a product of the 'Desolate Lion', which could drive away the beast, he immediately didn't care about the bad smell, and happily hugged it and distributed it.

For a moment, there was a strange smell emanating from the line at the end. Although it is faint and almost inaudible to people without approaching it, the beast's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and being able to drive them away will do the trick. The remaining half, Zhao Bow and Arrow took it back and put it back in the car.

It is said that the wild lion is huge, but the strength is infinite, it moves like thunder, a roar, can be heard dozens of miles away, can scare many small animals to death, even if the general large beast hears it, it will run away with its tail between its legs. Even, there was a first-class martial artist who encountered a desolate lion, and the master was bold, but in less than a few breaths, the warrior was torn apart. However, wild lions are used to walk alone, except during the breeding season, and there are not many of them. Otherwise, if Che Long really encountered the desolate lion, it would be equivalent to encountering a catastrophe.

As for the proposal to give Wu Datou's team a little bit?

Zhao Gongjian would not consider it at all. This half jar is full of smelly things, and it is much more precious than gold coins. Besides, everyone's friendship is not that much

The front of the convoy. Boss Chen got out of the carriage, sleepy-eyed. It seems to have just woken up.

The captain of the guard, 'Jiang Long', rode a horse and followed, but. At a glance, Boss Chen noticed that his chief guard seemed to have something on his mind, and his face was full of sadness.

"What's wrong?" Boss Chen's face sank.

"Is the master awake?" Jiang Long came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted.

"Just now, two brothers and a dart master were bitten by poisonous snakes, and now they have this high fever and are unconscious. ”

Boss Chen's face relaxed slightly, and he said, "What about Doctor Liu?"

"If you go back to the master, Dr. Liu has already dealt with it, but Dr. Liu said that he is not sure. It's the venom of the big red chain snakeβ€”" Jiang Long said.

"Big Red Chain Snake?!How could it be-" Boss Chen was moved.

The big red chain snake is rare in the wilderness, but it is an extremely venomous snake, the poisoned person will soon be paralyzed, unconscious, see within a day, basically survive one in ten.

"How did the Great Red Chain Snake wake up in such a cold day? Doctor Liu is sure it's the Great Red Chain Snake?"

Most snakes begin to wake up and come out to forage for food, but the big red chain snake has some differences, and basically does not wake up from its hole until May and June every year.

Jiang Long said: "It can't be wrong. The snake corpse is still there!"

"Ask Dr. Liu to come over. ”

After a while, an old man in his fifties with a gray beard, accompanied by a guard and a young man, hurried to the front.

Big Boss Chen asked the old man to get on the frame, and then. The escort and young talents returned to the back. This old man is Dr. Liu. It is said that at the beginning, he was good at treating trauma, bruises, and poisons, and was later rewarded by Boss Chen for joining the merchant team, and his status in the team was very high.

Boss Chen asked. Dr. Liu stroked his long beard and said, "With the old man's many years of medical experience. Ordinary snake venom is naturally not a problem, but this big red chain snake is not ordinary. The time of infestation is not right, the poison is more violent, fortunately, the old man is on the side, taking medicine and dressing, most of the poisonous snakes are removed, and the rest depends on the destiny of heaven. ”

"However, with all due respect to the old man, the poison of the big red chain snake is one of the most poisonous in the world, even if it goes to the county town and the royal capital, it is useless, the old man can't cure it, and no one can bring the dead back to life!"

Jiang Long hurriedly said, "Doctor Liu, is there no other way?"

"Unless there are the three major antidote pills in the world!" Physician Liu said indifferently.

The world's three major antidote pills? It is a treasure that claims to be able to cure all poisons, it is very rare, where can I get it now? And even if there is, I can't afford it.

In this regard, Boss Chen has no good way. Even Dr. Liu was not sure, and the rest of them had no choice.

"By the way, there seems to be some people in a small merchant at the back of the line, and there seems to be a doctor among them, who is said to be from a medicine hall in Ren County, and his medical skills are very good!" Jiang Long suddenly remembered something and said excitedly.

Doctor Liu's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Escort Jiang doesn't trust the old man, and the old man can't be cured! Master Chen, the old man has gone back!"

Of course, Boss Chen didn't want to offend Dr. Liu, so he immediately apologized a few times, pretended to be angry, and scolded Jiang Long: "Jiang Long, don't you apologize to Dr. Liu?

Jiang Long had no choice but to apologize: "Doctor Liu, I didn't mean that, it's just that my brother was seriously injured, which made me confused-"

Coupled with Boss Chen's persuasion on the side, it was easy to talk about it, so Doctor Liu dispersed his anger and pretended to be generous and said: "That's it, the old man is not a rebellious person, and he can't listen to the good of others, Jiang Huwei might as well invite that person over, the old man wants to see, just a wild doctor, how clever is the medical skills, can you solve the poison of the big red chain snake?"

"This-" Jiang Long suddenly hesitated, and couldn't help but look at Boss Chen for help.

"Oh no, snake, snake!"

"So many snakes!"

"Mom!"

Suddenly, the team was in chaos, screaming incessantly.

In the grass on the side of the road, hissing, countless snakes crawled out densely, all kinds of kinds, non-venomous, highly venomous, the big one has more than a zhang, the small one is a foot long, and even many rare snakes such as the big red chain snake have appeared. They swam quickly towards the procession, people and horses roared, and the team was suddenly chaotic, and swords and weapons were unsheathed. However, unlike the fight of beasts, snakes are too small and numerous to exert their strength.

"Kill!"

"Kill the snakes, don't let them get close!"

"Ah, I was bitten!"

"Help!"

β€œβ€•β€•β€

Boss Chen looked at it, it seemed that the mile-long team was in chaos, like a struggling dragon, and then looked at the grass on the side of the road, and suddenly his face was frightened, how many snakes must have been? He has been walking for decades, and he has never encountered so many snakes together, is it because God wants to punish him for not doing good deeds?

"Quick, quick, kill them, don't let them hurt the horses!" Boss Chen roared with all his might.

"Light the torch, hurry up and light the torch to drive away the snake!"

"Hurry up!"

"Realgar powder, realgar powder!"

"Snakewalk! Snakewalk! It must be a snakewalk!" Doctor Liu on the frame suddenly shouted, looking very excited, struggling to get up and kneel on the frame, kowtowing to the snakes, looking extremely religious.

His appearance is very abnormal, but no one will pay attention to him at this time, even Boss Chen, who is in the same car, also uses this whip to whip the horse's buttocks. As soon as the horse was excited, they immediately ran desperately, several times faster, and some snakes avoided it, and were killed and crushed, but they still went forward one after another.

"Quick, quick, just run out of the snake pack and you'll be fine!" (To be continued.) )
