Chapter 9: The Red-headed Two-Horned Serpent
Yaoluo and Ye Dan came to the dark river, and he directly asked Ye Dan to go down to the river and run out. At this time, Yaoluo showed a steady composure that did not match his age, and he had to embody Uncle Wolf. Ye Dan was already so frightened that his face turned pale, and he ran hard in the river in a panic, he didn't want the truth of this matter anymore.
The sound of "snorting" from the depths of the cave was getting closer and closer, and even piercing. More than ten people standing in place heard the terrifying panting sound in the depths, and the cold wind blew everyone's long hair floating, and their faces were not good-looking in an instant, and they had not seen the snake yet, just this lineup, they already knew the horror of this thing.
Uncle Wolf and them slowly retreated towards the bend in the deep hole.
"Everyone, run. Yaoluo was anxious and shouted to the crowd 50 meters away, "That could be a giant snake that is about to become a dragon." ”
However, everyone could no longer hear Yaoluo's anxious shouting. They broke out in a cold sweat and stared at the huge phantom reflected by the moonstone around the corner.
The hand holding the weapon was even trembling. But they can't retreat, and retreating means a rout, and it means the disintegration of the group.
So, they are slowly gathering together, retreating step by step. The phantom stopped there, and if it weren't for the sound of heavy breathing, everyone would have thought that it was there in the first place, just a serpentine shadow.
Everyone had all stopped, and no one spoke, staring at the snake shadow.
A dozen strong men and a giant snake leaning on a reflection of the shadow confronted each other like this. The giant snake did not advance, and a dozen strong men did not dare to retreat.
Uncle Wolf shook the big knife in his hand again, hoping to feel the strength accumulated in his body and give himself a little courage. The sharp and bright blades, the sharp long swords, the wide axes, and the sharpened arrows were even colder when illuminated by the moonstone, emitting bloodthirsty hunger.
Yaoluo looked from afar, his hands clenched the short knife, and he seemed to feel the short knife tremble with excitement. The atmosphere of such a confrontation is becoming more and more depressing. Yaoluo knew that this was brewing between the two sides, and one blow would kill.
This giant snake already has a certain amount of wisdom. It knew that its arrival had alarmed the enemy in front of it, so it didn't rush over blindly and let the enemy give it a sharp blow. It stopped when it smelled someone in front of it. It is waiting, waiting for the enemy in front of it to have a psychological breakdown, or waiting for the person in front to appear within the range of its attack.
Suddenly, the sword flashed, and the phantom over there flickered.
"Little Liu, don't ......" Uncle Wolf shouted, but it was too late.
A figure leaped and threw himself around the corner, and a terrible cry resounded throughout the hole. Everyone could see that half of the short and strong man's body was already struggling in the mouth of the giant snake, blood was pouring out, and the big knife left a shallow wound on the snake's head, and red and green liquid flowed out.
It turned out that this short and strong man was a clan of Uncle Wolf Ye's family, ranking sixth.
Watching the short man slowly be chewed in the mouth by the giant snake, convulsing constantly. Everyone's eyes were red, but under the huge green eyes of the giant snake, no one dared to dare.
This time, they actually saw half of the giant serpent. The black and white scales on the giant snake's body, each one the size of a palm, and a snake head more than a meter wide, looked down on everyone. In particular, the red snake head has two small horns protruding. It can be seen that this giant snake has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, and it is ready to turn into a dragon.
If, in a few tens of thousands of years, the two horns on its head are formed, and the snake's tail transforms, then it will be a real dragon. Even if it's much weaker than the rumored species of dragons, at least it's got the name dragon itself.
"What should I do, what should I do?" Uncle Wolf was anxious and secretly complained.
"Prepare for battle, remember not to turn around and run, it's too fast. Uncle Wolf said in a low voice to the people beside him. There was a sound of breaking wind, and someone shot an arrow at the giant snake, and the head of the giant snake flashed, and several scales fell, leaving a scar on the body seven inches away.
The giant snake was angry and pounced on everyone, and Uncle Wolf swept it with all his strength and slashed at the snake's head. With a loud bang, Uncle Wolf put away his knife and jumped to the edge of the stone wall. The secret path is not good, this snake's head is too hard, and it can only leave a small wound, and it can't seriously hurt the giant snake.
The serpent's head retracted and looked down at everyone again, but under it, there was another corpse with an entire upper body that was unrecognizable, and it was no longer breathing. On everyone's side, a tall and thin man with blood splattered on one arm.
In just an instant, two people died and one was seriously injured, but they couldn't even break the snake skin, which made everyone a little afraid. If this continues, the situation will not be good, and there will only be more casualties.
The archer drew his bow again, and three arrows shot at the serpent seven inches and three inches. The serpent slammed its head and hit the top of the cave, sending the moonstones tumbling. Two arrows were half-submerged into the stone wall, "buzzing" towards them, and the other shot just seven inches into the giant snake.
There was a wail, and the whole cave trembled.
"It's going berserk. "Yaoluo has fallen into the dark river and can run out at any time.
Everyone also realized this, and took advantage of the moment when the giant snake was angry, and ran away. In the blink of an eye, everyone arrived at the dark river, but the giant snake was faster, and the two people running behind him, one of them was hit by the giant snake against the stone wall, his internal organs were broken, and after a few convulsions, he became no longer breathing, and the other was directly swallowed by the giant snake.
Because of the sacrifice of these two people, they bought everyone a moment of time, and everyone jumped into the dark river and rushed outside. The people who were busy running for their lives didn't notice that Yaoluo, who was originally in the river, not only did not leave, but was also stepped on and squeezed by everyone. Far behind everyone, soon, everyone disappeared under the dark river.
Yaoluo couldn't say what he was suffering, when he wanted to run, he couldn't walk, and he seemed to be tied up by something. In a hurry, he half-crouched, and used his short knife to cut at what was wrapped around his feet. The dagger didn't touch anything, it was like a half-circle in the water, and he heard a terrible cry, and his feet suddenly moved.
As soon as Yaoluo raised her leg and wanted to escape, she froze in place, subconsciously waving a short knife at her head.
He looked up, and the serpent stared straight at him, the hot breath of the blood disc pouring out on his bloodless face. At this moment, Yaoluo was extremely calm. It's like knowing that death is an inevitable end, and he has seen it. However, he is not one to sit still.
So, he thought to himself, no matter what, the serpent pounced, and he made a last stand, as his grandfather said, don't live a nest, and don't die when he dies.
Thinking of his grandfather, Yaoluo suddenly became sad, if he died, what would his grandfather do, would he be lonely? Fortunately, grandpa had someone to accompany him, and that beautiful sister Yalai hadn't just been adopted by his grandfather a few days ago. Thinking about this, I felt a lot of relief in my heart.
However, when he thought that he would never see his grandfather again, Yaoluo became sad, he couldn't help but let himself cry, and when he didn't let him die, he was still so cowardly. So, gritting his teeth, he looked firmly into the giant snake's big scarlet eyes.
At this time, the giant snake was also looking at Yaoluo, saying that it was looking at Yaoluo, but it was better to look at Yaoluo's short knife that was more than two inches long. At this time, Yaoluo didn't notice the weirdness of the short knife, but it didn't mean that the red-headed giant snake didn't notice it, the black short knife was already trembling slightly, and a trace of black gas overflowed from the knife, and this black gas became extremely dazzling in this day-like hole.
The scarlet in the serpent's eyes slowly faded, the cold atmosphere permeated every part of its flesh, fear quickly spread from its eyes, and it trembled like Yaoluo.
Slowly, the giant snake turned around, looked at Yaoluo in horror, crashed into the deep hole, fled for its life, and the stone wall that it was hit fell to the ground.
And at the moment when Yaoluo was in danger, Luo Zhen, who was far away in the tribe, was leaning on the old man and reprimanding Yalai, saying: "You little girl, if your intelligence is the same as your beauty, then it will be good, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Yalai was looking at the animal skin history, his face was black, since he was taken in by this old man, he did not lose himself, it seems that his pleasure is here.
The old man was proudly playing with himself to Yalai, when suddenly his face changed, and he ran to the ancestral hall, took out a piece of sandpaper, and looked at the incense mist. After a while, "Hehe" laughed twice and said to himself: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't know what it is, it's your fucking acquaintance." ”
"Luo Lao, what's wrong?" Seeing Luo Lao hurriedly go out and come in, Yalai asked.
"It's okay, that little guy has some minor trouble. ”
"Yaoluo is going to be okay, right?" asked Yalai worriedly, she still liked this little brother.
"If you don't have the ability, you can't blame anyone if you're dead, hey, you won't beat that kid's idea, and you don't see how old you are. The old man jumped to his feet, looked at Yalai, and asked.
Yalai was stunned, she found that the old man could not get along well, so she was busy with her own going.
It is said that Yaoluo watched the giant snake retreat and couldn't figure out why, but he knew at this time and hurried to run for his life.
When he walked out of the dark river, Yaoluo took a deep breath, secretly glad that he did not become food in the stomach of the giant snake. However, Uncle Wolf, they should go away.
"Luo'er, are you alright?" a voice came from behind a tree.
Yaoluo saw that Uncle Wolf and the others were walking cautiously, and everyone was extremely embarrassed. Uncle Wolf's worried eyes and the surprise after seeing Yaoluo moved him to a sour nose.
"It's all right, I'm entangled in something in the river, slow you down, the serpent seems to come to the dark river and retreat. Yaoluo didn't know the reason for the giant snake's retreat, and said.
"Let's get out of here, if the serpent comes out, we won't have to go back. Uncle Wolf pulled Yaoluo and Ye Dan and quickly left towards the valley.
After leaving the valley, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of escape from death, everyone sat on the ground softly all of a sudden, and everyone secretly said that it felt good to survive.
Unfortunately, this time, there were heavy casualties, twelve people, and eight returned. They don't know how to deal with the people in the tribe, how to account to them. Especially as Uncle Wolf, who led the team this time, I felt ashamed of them.
Yaoluo directly lay down and fell asleep, facing the sky, thinking that it was so dangerous to come out this time. 、
As night fell, everyone walked towards the tribe with a heavy heart. In front of them, they saw the lights of the tribe in the distance, but they did not have the pride of a great harvest or the joy of returning home. Everyone's shadows quickly melted into the darkness.
