Chapter 6: The Kiss of the Serpent's Letter?
Riding horses rented from the mercenary union, the four squads galloped all the way, and it only took an hour to reach the valley of empty sorrow. As soon as they entered the mountain, the four squads moved separately.
"Captain Gu, this empty valley is full of flowers and plants, how can the black snake have a place to hide?" Su Xiaoli looked at You Xuanhao, who was two years younger than herself and four centimeters shorter, and said curiously.
You Xuanhao turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoli hasn't seen a snake?"
Su Xiaoli smiled embarrassedly, "Although this girl is not a child of a rich family, she has never been to the wild, she usually stays at home, and it is normal if she has never seen a snake......
"Alas...... You people in the imperial capital are good, they have never suffered from rural children, and there is a local protection policy for the annual soul mage exam, and the top soul law university here can be reduced by more than 100 points......" You Xuanhao sighed, he has lived at the bottom of the society for the past seven years, and he has been in the countryside for a long time, which makes him feel very vicissitudes," It's winter now, and the snakes in this area of the Alpin Empire generally inhabit dry and sunny caves, and the strange thing is that these black snakes don't seem to have the habit of hibernating, and in such a cold weather, they will go down the mountain to forage for food...... Perhaps the climate in this valley is different from the outside. ”
"Oh...... Aga...... everyone nodded, only You Xuanhao had been in the countryside in the team, and the others had only heard a little from others.
The terrain in the hollow valley is complicated, there are thousands of ravines, there are no roads, there are almost no tall trees on it, only some dwarf shrubs and white grass; the land is a miserable yellow without nutrition, and a layer of yellow sand on it, every time the wind sweeps, the sand and stones fly, giving people a sense of "yellow clouds and white grass have not yet spring". There was no water, no people, no life, just a group of cannibalistic black snakes, a few passing crows, piles of barren rocks, and an extremely strange atmosphere.
See one to kill one, see one to kill one, see one litter to kill one litter, this is the simple and crude slogan of You Xuanhao's team. But now looking at the mountains and yellow sand, I don't know where the black snake lives, and the four of them are a little at a loss.
"Listen to me, as long as we move forward together, it is not easy to have problems. If the serpents perceive our breath, there will be a great movement, and if one of us perceives it, it will have a chance to kill it. You Xuanhao said with a serious face.
Ye Rui promised that he hadn't seen You Xuanhao so serious for a long time - no, it should be said that he had never seen it.
So everyone could only follow You Xuanhao's instructions, move forward together, each with a weapon, ready to fight at any time.
......
The first detachment had by this time penetrated deep into the valley from the western side. Along the way, I saw many small lizards, but I never saw a single black snake.
Long Yue wiped the cold sweat from his face, breathing rapidly, obviously overly nervous. "Damn, where are those snakes dead? It's a shame that Lao Tzu is so serious about finding it...... I looked so seriously, but in the end, I still didn't have a chance to kill!"
Jian Rou took out a pot of water from the storage artifact and handed it to Long Yue: "Brother Long, it's useless to be anxious, it is estimated that these snakes were attracted by other teams...... As long as we stay safe, that's the biggest win, isn't it?"
Long Yue took the water from Jian Rou's hand, took two sips, and then said with a smile: "Yes, being alive is more important than anything else, after all, I haven't loved a ...... vigorously."
Jian Rou blushed when she heard this, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I may ...... Still can't ......"
"I can wait! Lao Tzu can wait until you accept me! Even if it's for decades, for a lifetime!" Before Jian Rou finished speaking, Long Yue hurriedly said. The two fell into an impasse all of a sudden, while Yi Ruqiu on the side was watching the show, waiting for Jian Rou's reply. Long Yue and Jian Rou have known each other for a long time, but Yi Ruqiu and Sun Rongjian were only temporarily separated, and they didn't know each other. Yi Ruqiu is a very gossipy girl, and Sun Rongjian is a boy who likes to act alone.
Just when the team was in an embarrassing situation, Sun Rongjian in the rear shouted, which frightened the team members to hurriedly look to the rear. I saw a black tornado struck towards this side at great speed, and it was estimated that it would swallow the four of them in less than ten seconds.
"Run!" Long Yue hurriedly took Jian Rou's jade hand and led the team to run forward desperately. Sun Rongjian violently released the Wind System Acceleration Soul Technique on himself, and at this time, he couldn't care about the others. In any case, there is no escape, everyone knows it - but there is nothing to be done!
The sudden black whirlwind swept the four of them into the eye of the storm in an instant, and disappeared into the desolate valley with the four of Long Yue......
......
"Just over there...... Is it a tornado?!" Ye Rui couldn't help but be startled when he saw the corner of the black whirlwind in the distance.
You Xuanhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It seems that the environmental conditions here are even worse than imagined...... Over there, Long Yue's team is probably already under attack by the storm. We have to be careful!"
The yellow sand on the ground was blowing with the wind, and the "rustling" sound was really terrifying. Occasionally, a small beetle crawled by, making a subtle sound that was different from the sound of wind and sand, which frightened everyone and hurriedly waved their weapons, but the result was only in vain.
"Brother You, let's take a rest! If you continue like this, the physical exertion is very great, and everyone can't bear it......" Even if he didn't want to drag down the team, he still had the strength to continue to move forward, Ye Rui still reluctantly made a request.
You Xuanhao looked at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was tired, he nodded. So the four of them faced each other in four directions, sitting in a group, leaning on each other's backs, each holding a weapon in case of accidents.
However, everything is not as simple as You Xuanhao thought.
"Rustle—"
Thousands of sand and stones flew up from the ground in an instant, turning into the appearance of earthy yellow dragons, circling upward, rolling up a tornado. Immediately, the storm turned from yellow to black, and a dragon roar came out, attacking You Xuanhao's team.
"Everyone, defend!" You Xuanhao's pupils contracted, and his facial muscles twitched, obviously he was not lightly frightened, but the others were not lightly frightened - Su Xiaoli and Huang Ming were all frightened, their feet were weak, they fell to the ground, and their whole bodies trembled; Ye Rui seemed to have seen a big scene, and his performance was only a little more exaggerated than You Xuanhao.
"Water shield!" You Xuanhao suddenly opened the vortex of the eight death holes behind him, the sword was retracted into the Tianxin bracelet, and the spiritual power surged into his palms, conjuring up a huge wall of water, no, it was a hemispherical defensive barrier. As soon as the four soul beads appeared, they emitted a dazzling light, and their rotation speed became faster and faster.
Ye Rui also joined the action, and three vines tightly wrapped around the waists of the other three, pinning the four of them together.
"Hurry! Brother You needs spiritual support!" Ye Rui looked at the black tornado that was getting closer and closer, and shouted.
Only then did Su Xiaoli and Huang Ming react and hurriedly transmitted their spiritual power into You Xuanhao's body. You Xuanhao's whole body was shocked, and he felt that the spiritual power in his body was abundant, so he roared loudly and continuously strengthened the water shield.
The tornado struck, and all the grass, trees, sand and rocks flew away.
You Xuanhao and the four of them stood in place, watching the black tornado hit the water shield - the moment the wind rushed up, the water shield trembled, and the wind and sand collapsed, until they floated through the hemispherical barrier and converged into a tornado, but they did not break through the soft water shield.
"Whew-" The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the Longyue team, You Xuanhao's team is more united, and most importantly, You Xuanhao's water shield that can defeat rigidity with softness is something that the Longyue team does not have, which makes the fate of the two teams completely different......
That's weird!
Just as everyone relaxed their vigilance, a black tentacle-like object suddenly drilled out of the ground and grabbed Su Xiaoli's ankle tightly.
"Ahh
Ye Rui turned around and was shocked: "Sister Xiaoli!" The relaxed vines tightened again, wrapping around Su Xiaoli's waist.
At this time, You Xuanhao's reaction was very fast, he took out the nameless sword from the Tianxin bracelet, and with a quick swing, he cut off the black tentacles.
"Damn, I'm scared to death...... Huang Ming was about to give up hope of life at this time.
You Xuanhao looked around and didn't dare to relax any longer.
However, it is not that simple, and the dangers are one after another...... Just as the four of them were defending their tentacles, the earth collapsed, and without warning!
The four of them were caught off guard, swallowed by the yellow sand, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
......
Above the valley, a figure flashed.
The plain-clothed man looked at the sunken yellow sand, shook his head, and said to himself, "It's up to them to create...... Sixteen of them were taken down, and if it weren't for the enchantment and age restrictions in that damn place, I wouldn't have let it run so rampant!Kids, don't let me down......"
Then an old man in black appeared next to the man, and scolded at the man in plain clothes: "This is what you said about the black snake eating people?!" Kong Shuangqiu, I know you really want to kill that old snake, but you deceived me and made me give a false order! Those children are all elites, if something happens, Lao Tzu will be dismissed immediately! You don't want to inherit the position of the president of the trade union!"
The man named Kong Shuangqiu smiled: "Dad, since I was a child, how many things have you seen me do that I am not sure of?"
The old man Kong Tian sighed, "Then why did you never succeed in arranging Yao'er's blind date?"
"......" Kong Shuangqiu was speechless, looked at the desolate valley, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
......
You Xuanhao patted his painful head with his hand, feeling the terrifying aura of this place. The fragments of memory in his brain suddenly burst out, making You Xuanhao sweat in fright.
Looking at the three people who had passed out in a coma, You Xuanhao was a little discouraged. This is the Eye of the Wild, and You Xuanhao captured this information from memory. There is not just one, but ten, and each of them is an extremely terrifying existence, and this empty valley should be the safest one among them. Why did I come here in my previous life? Why hadn't I heard Old Man Rong talk about such a place as the Wild Eye before? Many questions swirled in You Xuanhao's mind.
Don't dare to act rashly, this is You Xuanhao's state at this time. Every few meters in the underground passage, a fluorescent stone glows not very brightly, illuminating the entire passage.
Not long after, Su Xiaoli woke up, looking at the dim underground space, the whole person was stunned. Then Ye Rui and Huang Ming woke up one after another, and they all felt panicked.
"Listen, we may have been deceived by the president...... The place we are in now is called the 'Wild Eye', and although I don't know what is inside, I can only find a way out by moving forward. Can you understand what I mean?" You Xuanhao said seriously.
Ye Rui and the three nodded.
"Hahahaha, if you want to strangle us with a condom, we'll open a hole for him and slip away!" The corners of You Xuanhao's mouth rose, and a wave of confidence poured into his chest.
With the team, You Xuanhao chose to move forward.
"Since he brought us here, not to kill us, presumably the demon here is not for the purpose of cannibalism...... Ye Rui analyzed seriously.
But Huang Ming immediately refuted Ye Rui's point of view: "What if he likes to eat alive, so that you can watch your organs being dug up little by little, and then eat them?"
Ye Rui, You Xuanhao, and Su Xiaoli couldn't help but shudder at the same time.
Ghost, don't let you be right!
Along the underground passage, walking around a corner, You Xuanhao, who was walking in the forefront, was suddenly startled and almost sat on the ground.
"I'm a ghost, are you a human or a ghost!" or ......" You Xuanhao looked at the girl with long hair in front of him, looked at the extremely faint shadow on the ground, and after making sure that she was not a ghost, he saw the lower half of the woman's body...... "Snake demon!"
"Wait, don't hurt me!" The girl couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw You Xuanhao holding the sword in her hand. "I am a black snake in this empty cave sky, our king said that he would use your body and soul to refine the soul rejuvenation pill, but our black snake has been sleeping in this cave for decades, and has never had a conflict with human beings, I don't want you to lose your lives because of our king's selfish desires......"
"Oh, girl, we have no reason to believe you. Ye Ruidao, he had had enough of torture today, he didn't expect to encounter so much trouble when he went out this time, if he didn't run out of the family, how could there be so much pain...... Therefore, he is on the highest alert at the moment.
The half-human, half-snake girl felt wronged, and the corners of her eyes were moist, and she was about to cry.
"We can trust you, but you have to sign a contract with me, what?" You Xuanhao said.
Ye Rui couldn't help but be shocked when he heard You Xuanhao's words, "Brother You, if she wants to hurt us, in their territory, it is simply effortless, and she can kill us in ten thousand ways!"
"No, I choose to trust her, and I ask you to trust my judgment. You Xuanhao smiled.
"I believe in you. Huang Ming patted You Xuanhao's shoulder.
"I believe in you. Su Xiaoli also expressed her attitude, anyway, there is no other better way now.
Seeing that everyone else was supportive, Ye Rui had no choice but to say, "Brother You, don't let us down!"
Ye Rui would not have thought that after this incident, he firmly believed that there was nothing in the world that You Xuanhao could not do.
And You Xuanhao was calculating in his heart what to do next. The intuition given to him by this snake girl is good, and his intuition has always been very accurate, but this alone is not enough, and signing an agreement with the snake girl does not completely guarantee that she will not indirectly harm the four people, but following her can get closer to the truth earlier, and may be able to find an opportunity to escape, but it is really impossible to escape the fate of being refined, and there is no way.
So You Xuanhao and the snake girl signed a blood agreement.
"My name is Mo, please take care of me!" The snake girl named Mo leaned over, and when You Xuanhao was not paying attention, she stretched out the snake letter and kissed You Xuanhao with her sexy lips.
