Chapter Twenty-Three: Trapping the Snake Demon
"There must be danger in this mountain!"
After taking a closer look, Hou Jiuming made a conclusion.
The mountain is silent, without birds and beasts singing, which is very rare in this vibrant mountain range.
In this case, it is either a dead Jedi, and the living beings cannot survive.
Either there's a great terror there, occupying the hill and treating it as its own territory.
And the trees in the middle of the mountain are verdant, and it doesn't look like a dead Jedi.
So, it could only be that something occupies the whole mountain.
"Such a big mountain, you have to take a closer look and confirm that the location of the big snake is planning!"
Hard fighting is not advisable, and the risk is too great.
It's okay to try something like traps.
His purpose is to kill, not to capture alive, so there is no need to limit the means.
…………
In the next three days, Hou Jiuming circled around Menghu Mountain, observing and looking for favorable terrain at the same time.
During this time, I have seen a giant snake at night.
No, it's no longer appropriate to say that the giant snake is protruding, because its head is protruding and it is obviously about to turn into a dragon.
And, every night with the top of the mountain swallow the moon.
said that he was not a demon, Hou Jiuming absolutely did not believe it.
However, although this demon is huge, it is not as terrifying as imagined.
One is that it's not that fast.
Hou Jiuming wants to use his light body technique with all his might, and he will definitely be able to get rid of it easily.
Second, judging from its might, it hasn't been a demon for long, and it shouldn't be able to spell yet.
Combining the above two points.
This snake demon is strong and large at most.
For killing it, Hou Jiuming is still a little sure.
…………
Following
The sun fills the land and moistens the entire mountain range.
Located at the bottom of the cliff of Tiger Mountain, in front of a cave, Hou Jiuming arrived with a cloth bag.
Looking at the bottomless cave, he took out a tinder, lit the cloth bag, and threw himself into it without hesitation.
"Boom~"
I don't know what Hou Jiuming did.
After the cloth bag was lit, the fire was small and the smoke was large.
The pitch-black smoke poured into the cavern as if it had been pulled by a smoke machine.
Looking at the cave covered by thick smoke, Hou Jiuming waited quietly.
It didn't take long, half an hour at most.
"Boom~"
There was a sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking from inside the cave.
"It's coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran.
As a result, not long after he ran out, he saw a large snake with a pitch-black body, bulging on the top of his head, with scales the size of a palm, and the diameter of a water tank, swept out of the cave.
As soon as he appeared, he locked onto Hou Jiuming, who had escaped, and let out an angry hiss.
"Hiss~"
The huge body twisted and twisted, and it moved quickly without a pause.
"Bang~Duang~Wow~"
Between the flying sand and rocks, Hou Jiuming and the big snake fled and chased each other, and came to a narrow valley.
As soon as he passed through the canyon, Hou Jiuming bent down and pulled up the two vines that had been prepared.
"Give it to me~"
With a loud shout, the two vines were straightened in an instant.
The stones that were linked at the other end were also pulled at the same time and rolled down the valley.
As the two cornerstones fell, the stone walls that were neatly arranged on both sides collapsed.
At this time, the snake demon who had just entered the valley and had not yet caught up with Hou Jiuming was immediately hit by a rolling stone.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~"
Falling rocks are like rain, as big as a stone mill, as small as a basin, falling rapidly from a high place, and the power carried on it, the snake demon who smashed it hissed.
"Hiss~hiss~"
As a tyrant of Tiger Mountain, when has the snake demon been treated like this.
was first disturbed when I was sleeping at home, and then I chased for a long time and didn't catch up.
Finally, the prey did not escape, and it rained stones in the sky again.
If it's just a few, or a few dozens, the snake demon doesn't care at all.
This little stone, at most, causes trouble to it, and it can't do any harm.
But now, the stones fell like rain, and it didn't take long for them to bury their bodies.
Its power is great but that stone more.
In the eyes of the snake demon, its body was completely buried, leaving only its head held high.
struggled, but the boulder on its body was nearly a thousand tons, even if it cultivated into a demon, its strength was infinite, and it would be useless in the face of the weight of a thousand catties.
Standing at the mouth of the valley, looking at the buried snake demon, Hou Jiuming took out his bow and arrow and shot at its eyes.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, it is a specially made iron-tired bow.
When the bow and arrow were fired, it slammed into the bassilis's eyelids like bullets.
"Poof~"
The bow and arrow were only slightly blocked, and they directly sank into the snake demon's eyes.
The black liquid dripped down vertically.
The giant serpent, which was hit hard by this, immediately let out a terrible roar.
"Hiss~"
The body that was crushed by the boulder also began to struggle.
It may be the danger to life that makes it burst into potential.
Hundreds of thousands of catties of boulders shook.
Seeing this, Hou Jiuming did not dare to delay, stretched his bow and arrows, and practiced shooting.
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"
The arrows burst through the air one after another.
The bowl-sized snake eyes, like targets, were filled with arrows.
Not only that, but when the giant snake opened its bloody mouth and hissed, Hou Jiuming also shot a few arrows into its mouth.
It makes its mouth bleed and its mouth is not tightly closed.
Under such an attack, the giant snake, which had been struggling to resist, gradually began to be weak.
Crimson blood stained the stone near the basilisk's head red.
Look at the amount of bleeding, there is not a cylinder, but more than half of it.
However, Hou Jiuming did not step forward directly.
Instead, he ran up to the top of the valley and threw down the stones scattered nearby.
Not trying to stone him to death.
Rather, it is temporarily buried.
Save the snake demon from being cunning and pretending to be dead to cause the past.
The purpose of entering the mountain this time is the remains of immortal cultivators.
I want to see if I can find something valuable.
The basilisk is only secondary.
Kill the best to get a batch of materials.
It doesn't matter if you kill or not.
With the other party's current injuries, even if he escapes, he can't make waves.
After burying the snake demon as a whole and making sure that it would not be eaten by other beasts, Hou Jiuming rushed to Tiger Mountain along the way he came.
According to Grandma Baowa, the body was buried directly under the tiger's head by his son.
After a few days of observation, Hou Jiuming had already determined the location and went to check.
But there was nothing but a pile of rocks.
Ruling out the possibility that Baowa's father and grandmother lied, it could only be what happened during this period, causing the corpse to disappear.
According to the formation of this snake demon, Hou Jiuming guessed that it should be that the snake demon accidentally swallowed the corpse before becoming a demon and evolved into a demon.
If there is anything left, it must be in the snake demon's cave.
So, after coming to Tiger Mountain, he went straight to the cave.
By this time, the smoke package that had been thrown at the entrance of the cave had long since been extinguished.
But there was still a pungent smell coming from inside.
This is something that Hou Jiuming made improvised with realgar and snake-repellent herbs to provoke the snake demon.
Now it seems that it worked well.
The cave is large enough to accommodate four or five people walking side by side at the same time.
