The east wind started last night, and there were no frogs in the cols.

In the blink of an eye, the fake hunter Ah Feng has followed the minibus snake to the col for nearly a year.

During this year, he also encountered a full moon night, but the barrier of Lushu Mountain was not all opened, but a gap appeared somewhere in Lushu Mountain, and the length of time it appeared was different.

Ah Feng is not Bai Ze, he doesn't know actuarial skills, he has no way to calculate the exact point where the gap appears, and there is no way to leave Lushu Mountain smoothly.

The little snake was very good to him, but since he knew that such a good-looking girl was a giant snake, he could no longer treat the little snake with all his heart and soul as he used to.

In order to avoid the little snake, he always left the col temporarily every day under the pretext of collecting medicine. It was the same that day, when he was packing up his tools in the courtyard, when suddenly a group of people came in a hurry, and it was evident from their clothes that they were also from the Ba Snake clan, and that they had come to find Madame.

Although Ah Feng was afraid of those snakes in his heart, he was not at ease to leave his wife alone in the grass hut. Although he didn't know what the suspicions were between his wife and her people, he knew that those snakes didn't seem to see his wife living a good life, and always came to find fault with him every now and then.

Those snakes are not as aggressive as before, and only tell Ah Feng's wife that the big day in the clan has arrived, and let her prepare well. The big day they are talking about is the day when the Ba Snake clan pays tribute to the spirit snake, and it is also the day to worship the snake gall.

Ah Feng silently remembered that day in his heart, and then waited for that day, he followed the little snake all the way into the forbidden place of the snake clan.

The moonlight shone on the gray-white ground, setting off a faint light. Outside the forbidden land, there were three snakes in charge of guarding, and they stood together, as if discussing something unspeakable.

Ah Feng came closer and heard what they were saying. It turned out that Ah Feng's wife, that is, the little snake that Bai Li and they knew, was the snake girl of the Ba Snake clan, and it was also the little Ba snake with the highest cultivation talent that had appeared in the Ba Snake clan for hundreds of years. The cultivation of the snake is much more difficult than that of ordinary demon beasts, and the snake gall left by the spirit snake is too powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary snakes to absorb it directly and turn it to their own use. So, the patriarch of the Ba Snake clan came up with a more evil method, first using the small Ba snake to lure out the demonic power on the snake gall, and then absorbing it by each of them after the demon power weakened.

To put it bluntly, Ah Feng's wife, that simple little snake is a proper tool snake.

"And then, what did you do?" Bai Li asked Ah Feng: "You actually care about your wife in your heart, right?" ”

"She's my lady." Ah Feng neither admitted nor denied it, just looked at Bai Li and said these words. "She is my wife, she is very good to me, even if I am afraid of her, I can't let her people bully her. That night, when I heard what the snakes were saying, I felt chills in my limbs and was very angry. Taking advantage of their inattention, I secretly stunned them, sniffing the scent of my wife and entering the forbidden place of the snakes. ”

Seeing Bai Li's puzzled face, Ah Feng explained: "The smell of my wife's body is different from that of other snakes, and other snakes have their own snakey smell. ”

"There is indeed a strong smell of herbs on the little snake, and I also smelled this when I was helping her deliver the baby. I wondered at the time, there were no herbs piled up in the hut, and the yard was empty without any traces of herbs, and where did the smell of her come from. I thought it was the snake scent that came with the snake. It turns out that the truth of the matter is this. The little snake collects medicine all year round, not for her, but for other snakes in their clan, right? ”

"Yes, my wife was born different from other snakes, she can directly absorb the energy on the snake's gall and then use it for her own use. Other snakes can't, including the patriarchs of their clan, and they often suffer damage to their bodies due to their ability to feed. My wife also collects and cures medicine for them. Those medicines are not easy to come by, and they even have to go deep into the camps of other demon beasts to collect them, and if they are not careful, they will be injured and die. But her people don't think about her good at all, they are using her, consuming her, and bullying her from beginning to end. If it weren't for the fact that my wife was still of some use to them, they would have been unable to tolerate my wife a long time ago. ”

"But you are a mortal, what can you do if you sneak into the forbidden place of the Ba Snake Clan? Stealing the snake gall bladder of the spirit snake? ”

"I didn't think about stealing snake gall at that time, I just wanted to enter the forbidden place, find Madame, and tell her the truth of the matter. If she is willing to leave Lushu Mountain with me, I can take her back to this town. As long as she doesn't come out, others won't know that she is a snake, and we may be able to live a simple life in peace. Ah Feng looked up at the gray sky above the town: "There are no elaborate mechanisms in the forbidden place of the Ba Snake Clan, there is only one step made of stone from top to bottom, and that step is deep underground. I went down the stairs and saw many snakes shedding their skins. The further down you go, the stronger the smell of snakes fills the air. I walked for a long time before I came to a half-open stone door.

It was a room carved out of the stone wall, and there was a huge Dan furnace in the room, just like the one we saw in the Taoist temple. There was a raging fire burning under the Dan furnace, and huge hot gas overflowed outward along the inner wall of the Dan furnace, and the whole room was steaming and smoky, not like a fairyland, but like a cave with demons and monsters hidden in the story.

The four walls of the stone house are hung with snakes of various colors, and it is not known whether they were used to decorate the stone house or if they were used for another purpose. I walked around the furnace, only to find that there was a secret door hidden behind the furnace, and there was a room behind the door. In that room, I found my wife, and I also saw the patriarch of the Ba Snake clan, and several elders of their clan. They were all sitting cross-legged, as if asleep.

I crept up to my wife and tried to wake her up, but I thought she would open her mouth and spit out a pill. The elixir was oval-shaped, with a soft glow around it, and it looked like the legendary pearl of the night. But the pearls of the night are all round, not oval. Looking closely, I found that the oval-shaped bead glass seemed to be curled up with a small snake. But because of the halo, I couldn't tell if the little snake was painted or if it was actually hidden inside.

Just as I grabbed the elixir and tried to put it back in my wife's mouth, one of the patriarchs of their snake clan woke up. It was also at that time that I learned that what I got was not an elixir, but a sacred relic of the Ba Snake clan, that is, the snake gall of the spirit snake you just mentioned, the legendary thing that can make me immortal.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I put the snake gall in my mouth and swallowed it, and then ran like crazy towards the ground. I don't know if it was because I swallowed the snake gall, or because their patriarch had not yet recovered, I escaped smoothly, and even found the gap in the barrier by mistake and fled back to the town.

All of this seems to be destined by God. ”

Ah Feng said, hehe, smiled, but the smile was very bitter.
