Chapter 18: Into the Mountains to Catch Snakes

"This life is nothing more than a process, the glory between the flowers, the rich grass frost, life does not bring death does not take away, those smart people, or confused people, what are the proud? What are the frustrations? Go with the flow and be at peace, as comfortable as the clouds, as free and easy as flowing water, is the attitude that life should have. An old man who seemed to be a fairy wind and bones, but had a lewd light in his eyes, said to Sao Nian, who was shirtless and wore pants on his buttocks.

I saw the sao nian who was wearing pants and revealing half of his buttocks, looking at the old nerve who said something strange to himself with a very blank and curious face.

"You, are you trying to blackmail me?" said Na Sao Nian with some disdain as he looked at the old man who looked like a magic stick, yes, it was contempt.

The old man in a dirty Taoist robe didn't expect that he would be despised, and he was a fool.

The old man didn't care about Sao Nian, but he said very seriously: "Child, I don't want to blackmail you, but I want you to go to your family, otherwise they will have a bloody disaster today!"

After the old man said this, he scolded in his heart: "Hey, you can't cheat you like this?"

Na Sao Nian looked at the old man with straight eyes, and said loudly: "Oh!! I know who you are, you are the charlatan or the warlock who doesn't know how to learn as the city lord said, right?"

The old man listened to the child's shouting, and said in his heart that he was afraid that it would be a lie if he didn't beat the drum, and he saw that the people around him were staring at him one by one, and the old man had a feeling of being in the circle of fierce beasts, and he only felt that his back was cold for a while, and the chrysanthemum was tight and tight, and the cold sweat on his head was also unstoppable.

It's just that I pity the old man, I wanted to cheat some wine money from this little year, but I didn't expect that the people here are so urine, so the old man was nervous, but he was still only smeared with oil on the soles of his feet, and two ducks and a duck were equal to a girl, so he naturally ran away, otherwise he would be killed.

The so-called Sao Nian is a very sassy young man.

Those who entered Heishuibei from the outside were assimilated by the local folk customs of Heishuibei, and they all seemed so simple and tough, of course, the most important thing was to be strong.

In the training ground, the training shouts and screams were intertwined, and those who didn't know thought they had entered the pig killing farm.

At this time, I saw a junior colonel rushing into the training ground, and ran straight to the place where Zuo Qian was.

"Report!" the little colonel shouted after Zuo Qian, who was watching the training.

Hearing someone behind him, Zuo Qian turned around and saw a junior colonel with his hands arched and kneeling on one knee.

"What's the matter?" Zuo Qian asked indifferently.

The little colonel replied very respectfully: "Your Excellency, I received a report from the Ming Corps this morning, saying that there is a long insect as long as a bucket in Bailin Mountain to make trouble there."

Zuo Qian thought about it carefully, there was a large field at the foot of Bailin Mountain, what if the peasants were injured?

Then Zuo Qian asked, "Are there any casualties?"

"At present, an old peasant and a Ming soldier have been eaten, and several other militiamen have been injured, but they are not a big problem," the colonel replied.

Hearing this, Zuo Qian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there were not many casualties, otherwise there would be chaos, it looks like the grain is about to be harvested here, if there is no one to work in the field behind, the grain must not rot in the field!

Looking at the trainees in the next field, Zuo Qian shouted: "Tiger Elephant, Shaluo, take the elite battalion of Flying Fish Guard and follow me."

"Yes"

"Ling Zhen, bring the fire team of the Shenji Battalion here."

"Yes"

After an order, I only saw a team of about thirty people walking out of the Flying Fish Guard, all of them showing a fierce aura.

Training is training, and now it's time to go on a mission, and the personnel who participated in the mission have all gone back to the cabins to get their equipment and uniforms.

The equipment of the Flying Fish Guard is not peculiar, except for the same standing repeating crossbow machine as the Mo Knife Team, it is a wild goose feather knife, and the elite battalion of the Flying Fish Guard has one more flying claw than the ordinary battalion. The elite battalion is to be in personal force, far beyond the peers of many people to enter, a best division of strength is that in the same generation and the same level, one person can overturn three or four, you can enter the elite battalion, of course, this elite battalion is not only Flying Fish Guard, the Mo Dao team also has, even the Shenji Battalion that plays the technical flow also has, but the elite of the Shenji Battalion is different.

Zuo Qian was naturally still dressed in a cyan robe, and there were no other weapons on his waist except for a Yanling knife straddling it, and on the other hand, the group of people gathered in front of Zuo Qian had a flying claw hanging on the right side of the Yanling knife on the left, and a crossbow machine on his back. There are also some tools and weapons for other functions, which are also carried by special people. The simplest equipment is the firecracker team, and there is nothing else except a firecracker, a bag of gunpowder and a bag of iron.

Bailin Mountain is not very far from Heishui Town, and the group of people did not ride horses, and walked for about an hour to the foot of Bailin Mountain.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zuo Qian divided the team into three groups, with fifteen people each led by the Tiger Elephant and Sha Luo, and the rest of the fire gun team followed Zuo Qian, and the three teams searched from three directions.

The firearm team led by Zuo Qian is not only the highest attack, but also the weakest, so he will lead the team.

I don't know if it's Zuo Qian's luck or his luck, but less than half an hour after their team went up the mountain, they found traces, and saw that the surrounding grass and shrubs seemed to have been crushed by some huge object, and they were still in an 'S' shape.

After Zuo Qian looked at these traces, he signaled the people below to stand by, and then asked people to send a signal, and when everyone arrived, they went over together, and after Zuo Qian explained the matter, he followed the traces of the big snake alone.

Following the serpent's trail, the surrounding trees gradually became scarce, and it was already noon, so the sunlight was shining through the trees, shining on the ground like a kaleidoscope.

And snakes are cold-blooded animals, and they must rely on the sun to maintain their body temperature every day, and according to the written records of this world, Zuo Qian knows that as long as these snakes do not evolve into dragons, whether they are in the innate realm or the golden jade realm, they will not be able to escape this natural law.

When Zuo Qian passed through this forest, he saw from a distance that on a raised boulder thirty zhang away from him, there was a giant snake as thick as a bucket, where it formed a snake array, a head as big as a millstone spitting scarlet snake letters, which looked a little terrifying, but the two eyes like copper bells were closed, as if they were enjoying the sun.

The color of the giant snake is white and yellow, and the head is not the kind of triangle of the poisonous snake, at a glance, you know that it is a python or a snake, so most of the snakes like this kind are not poisonous, but this kind of snake should not be underestimated, their movement speed is very fast, especially after the prey, they will strangle the prey alive.

Zuo Qian quietly left the woods and returned to the gathering place just now, and saw that the other two teams of Flying Fish Guards were also coming, and Zuo Qian began to give orders.

"The fire gun team will use three formations to wait, but don't shoot yet, wait for the flying fish guard to catch it with the flying claws before fighting, and I and Sha Luo will go up to entangle the big snake, and the tiger elephant will command in the back", Zuo Qian first made a simple arrangement.

When a group of people came to their destination and saw the giant snake, they knew what it meant to be shocked, and what they heard from others and what they saw with their own eyes were completely different things. The huge body was full of crushing and explosiveness, and if a person stood alone in front of the giant snake, it would not be enough for others to stuff their teeth.

After seeing such a scene, the tiger elephant said: "Superior, I vetoed the plan just now."

Zuo Qian asked lightly, "Why?"

"Wait a minute, you will command in the back, and I will go with Shara to entangle the giant snake," Tiger Elephant said very seriously.

Zuo Qian pointed to the giant snake in the distance and said: "That giant snake has a bulge on its head and belly, it looks like it is about to turn into a dragon, do you think you can make a few moves with him when you have just reached the innate realm?"

Snakes want to turn into dragons, it is impossible without the golden jade realm, and only Zuo Qian is the innate realm, and it is also the innate realm that comprehends the sword intent, and the scara is also the innate realm, but it is a year earlier than the tiger elephant, so Zuo Qian decided that he and the scarlet will entangle the giant snake.

Seeing what the tiger elephant wanted to say, Zuo Qian decisively interrupted and said, "Okay, execute the order."

"Sha Luo, my master, you are the tail, except for the five people left to protect the fire gun team, the rest of the people spread out in a circle to surround the giant snake, and then first wrap the giant snake with flying claws, and after the giant snake is entangled, the fire gun team will open fire, try to hit his abdomen and below the head, and protect the five people of the fire gun team, don't forget to use your crossbow machine", Zuo Qian took the lead to leave after speaking.

After Zuo Qian and Sha Luo left the place, the tiger elephant also commanded the rest of the people to enter the battle position, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Remember, use your maximum ability to drag the giant snake today, and you can't let the upper position have an accident, if the upper position is a little damaged, then you can judge yourself here today!"

"Yes"

The man below replied in a low but firm voice.

After the tiger elephant nodded in satisfaction, he said in a low voice: "Action."

The tiger elephant gave the order, and everyone jumped out of the woods like apes and surrounded the giant snake.

It is said that animals have a natural sensitivity to danger, and this giant snake is the same, not to mention a snake that is about to turn into a dragon, and the feeling is even more keen. As soon as everyone moved, the serpent felt it, and although it was a little far away, the feeling of danger lingered in its heart.

The giant snake that was lazily basking in the sun suddenly raised its head, and its two eyes as big as copper bells opened at once, and its eyes were full of indescribable ferocity and bloodthirstiness.
