Chapter Thirty-Eight: Breaking Through the Mountain Gate
"Ah Huang, smell it, is there anything else in it?"
The big yellow dog that was brought in sniffed the snake yin grass and barked a few times inside, the captain was overjoyed, and sure enough, there was still one!
People died for money, birds died for food, and more than a dozen people carried knives, opened the way with dogs, and slowly walked inside.
Trembling all the way, fortunately, he didn't encounter any danger, and after a while, Ah Huang at the front screamed a few times, Xiao Li fixed his eyes, and a faint white light appeared not far away.
"Snake shade grass, at least a few dozen!"
"Ah Huang didn't respond when he screamed so loudly, it seems that the golden snake is either hanging up or seriously injured and can't get up."
"Let's go, maybe we can catch a monster alive!"
Xiao Li was full of confidence, the fear in his heart was much smaller, and his pace was much faster.
But just as they were about to approach the snake grass, a slightly hoarse hiss sounded.
"Golden Snake!" Everyone was trembling with fright, and in the dark hole, such a sound was really a little scary.
"Don't be afraid, it must be dying, otherwise it would have rushed over!" Xiao Li took a sip of saliva and comforted the others, but he was also comforting himself.
Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared above the snake yin grass, and when you looked closely, it was a golden snake head, the size of five people's heads, and the letters that spit out were more than a meter long.
"Shhh The snake's head was stained with blood, and a pair of big eyes looked directly at the people of the Xiao family.
Ah Huang Dog is careless, and when he sees that anyone dares to bark, he has a dog-like greeting to the golden snake, and is swallowed by the golden snake in his stomach.
In the silent hole, the sound of swallowing was particularly clear, and several people were immediately scared to pee their pants, and the last one even screamed and turned around and ran.
The people in front, including Xiao Li, didn't want to run, but their legs didn't obey at all. As they were hesitating, suddenly the huge head of the golden serpent poked out like an arrow from a string, and set off a gust of wind above their heads. Then I heard a heart-rending scream, and the man who had just run had already appeared in the mouth of the big snake.
The head of the big snake returned to its position just now, and a pair of human legs leaked out of its mouth, and blood dripped from the corners of its mouth.
"What should I do......" Xiao Li kept comforting himself in his heart, it was seriously injured, it was just pretending, it was easy to kill, but the knife in his hand really couldn't be lifted.
Listening to the crunchy chewing sound, Xiao Li's heart rose to his throat, and there was a person behind him who fainted directly. The people of the Xiao family are used to being arrogant and domineering, but there are very few real fights, and this kind of scene can't be handled.
Suddenly, Xiao Li had a plan, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Golden Snake is angry, we have no malicious intent, we are neighbors who live on the opposite mountain, in fact, we have long known the existence of adults, but my Xiao family has always believed in snake spirits, so I have never bothered!" It's just that today, I happened to see a millipede offending the adult's territory and came to help, but I didn't expect the adult to be so powerful and behead it in one fell swoop! ”
Seeing that the golden snake swallowed the man and did not move again, Xiao Li continued: "I swear on behalf of the Xiao family today that I will be filial to the adults in the future, offering 100 catties of raw meat every day, and sending a spiritual grass on the 10th!" ”
The second child spit out the letter, and the huge head was pressed towards Xiao Li, who resisted the urge to run away, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I know that you have a spirit, you must believe me!" ”
Hearing this, the second child retreated, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao Li was already soaked, and hugged his fists again and said, "Lord Xie, my lord farewell!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Li turned around in a dashing manner, and his movements were smooth, and everyone who watched was stunned.
"Golden Snake, farewell!"
"Farewell, sir!"
The group followed Xiao Li's example and saluted with fists, and then exited the cave. The second child's head turned and turned, I really can't understand, are human beings so shameless?
Out of the hole, Xiao Li's legs were already weak, and he was relieved to see that his people came out safely, and the golden snake did not chase it out.
"The captain is mighty!"
"I thought I was going to die!"
"The captain is really not afraid of danger, and he has the wind of a general!"
Xiao Li held his head high, thinking that he had fooled the second child, and after enjoying some praise, he pretended to say: "Hmph, a beast is a beast after all, how smart can it be?" ”
"That's it, how can a beast be a boss!"
"The boss is better than the brute!"
The more he heard this, the more wrong it became, and Xiao Li scolded and said, "That golden snake is definitely extremely injured, otherwise it would not have been possible to let us go so easily."
"What then, wait and go in again?"
"No, the golden snake is a first-order demon beast after all, even if it is seriously injured, we can't withstand it before we die."
"Do you want to give up those spirit grasses?"
"We can't deal with it, it's not that no one can deal with it, Snake Yin Grass, the top of the first-order elixir, we can't give up, go, go back and tell the adults."
In the medicine field, Xiao Chao is pacing non-stop, Gao Jin is not only the son of the county guard, but also the hope of his Xiao family's future, if there is an accident near the medicine field, he is not very good-looking even if he has no responsibility, so he is very anxious.
"My lord, I have something to tell you." Xiao Li also knew that this would make Xiao Chaozheng upset, but he was afraid that the golden snake would run away, so he still mustered up the courage to come over.
Xiao Chao said impatiently: "Say something quickly." ”
Xiao Li recounted what happened before in detail, and also took out a few snake yin grasses.
"Are you sure the golden snake has been seriously injured?"
"There will be no mistake, the scene was very tragic, there was a lot of snake blood, and it didn't chase after we left."
Xiao Chao thought, it was strange that the golden snake could believe Xiao Li's nonsense, and the fact was probably that it was too seriously injured.
"How far is it from here?"
"Just cross a river behind the mountain, and you will be there in half an hour."
"Let's go, let's see!" Xiao Chao thought about it for a while, and decided to check it out, a golden snake and a millipede, plus dozens of snake yin grass, are obviously worth a lot of money, and the Xiao family has always wanted to cultivate snake yin grass, but because there are too few seedlings, they can't let go of this opportunity.
Seeing Xiao Chao come out, Zhao Yun was slightly excited in his heart, although he didn't know Xiao Chao, but his momentum was completely different from that of ordinary people, and he must be a strong martial artist.
"Good!" Zhao Yun let out a sigh of relief, and the plan was almost half successful.
Estimating that Xiao Chao had almost crossed the river, Zhao Yun groped his way to the medicine mountain, and he released hundreds of poisonous snakes to explore the way, just afraid that there was a secret sentinel in the gutter to release cold arrows.
When the medicine field was first built, there were indeed a lot of dark whistles around, but in recent years, the Xiao family's power has become more and more powerful, and the Xiao family's self-confidence has swelled I don't know how much, looking at Changshan County, who dares to touch the Xiao family? So I have long relaxed my vigilance, the dark whistle is tired, mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, and the same is true for staying on the tower and looking.
The Xiao family built two tall towers on the left and right sides of the mountainside, with a large space at the top, which could accommodate more than ten people. At this time, one or two of the towers on each side were sentry, and the others were lying down and sleeping. The two martial arts realms left suddenly, and they didn't believe that anyone would fight the idea of Yaotian, so they didn't remind them to be more vigilant.
Zhao Yun observed it and decided to take a detour and start when he got to the top of the mountain, otherwise it would be easy to make a mistake.
The aura of the medicine mountain is relatively strong, so the surrounding grass and trees grow extremely vigorously, although the line of sight of the two towers can cover a wide area, but it is relatively simple to sneak through the dense grass alone. Of course, the main thing is that the few people on alert are listless, their eyes are cloudy, and there is no vigilance at all.
"The grass over there seems to have moved."
"The grass can walk?"
"No, it looks like something has passed."
"What's that?"
"I don't know, as soon as I slip out, it's too fast."
"Maybe it's a wild boar, maybe you can have a good meal if you fall into a trap in a while."
It was naturally Zhao Yun who was mistaken for a wild boar, this time he had already arrived at the gate of the mountain, and he had dodged several traps along the way with the assistance of poisonous snakes, I have to say that the traps of the Xiao family were really secretive, and if there were no poisonous snakes, Zhao Yun might have been hit several times.
Both sides of the mountain gate are fenced, and the only way to enter is through the middle gate, which is guarded by eight big men with big knives in their faces, and the pomp is very large.
Zhao Yun looked around, and there was indeed no other way to go.
"The mountain gate is the first line of defense, there should be traps!" Zhao Yun took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw some chains on both sides of the door, extending all the way to the ground.
"Sure enough." Zhao Yun guessed that there must be some kind of trap underground, but this would be time-crunched, and he didn't have time to scrutinize it carefully, so he could only gamble.
Pulling out the crossbow arrow arrows that he picked up in the place of the man-snake battle, Zhao Yun's power exploded instantly, "Whoosh!" With a few sounds, several arrows shot out at a rapid pace, and in the blink of an eye, they shot into the junction of the chain.
"What people!" Eight strong men woke up at once, and one of them immediately cut the rope beside him, and the sound of clucking chains sounded, and something seemed to rise from the ground, but the chains were stuck by arrows and could not operate, and the thing could not get out.
Before the eight strong men could understand what was going on, "Wow! With a bang, a nearly thirty-meter-long golden behemoth suddenly appeared in front of him, with a large mouth of blood, spewing out a strong wind and fishy smell, which frightened two or three people to pee their pants immediately.
"Demon Beast ......"
The boss didn't delay, rushed through the crowd and went directly up the mountain, there were many guards and traps along the way, but when they saw the boss's fat body key posture, they were dumbfounded, and no one dared to turn it off.
"Find the medicine field!" Zhao Yun commanded, and the boss slowed down and followed dozens of poisonous snakes towards a place where many houses had been built.
"Is there a mistake?" Zhao Yun wondered, this place seems to be a place where the guards live together, and the medicine field should not be there, right?
Indeed, this is the residence built by the Xiao family, and the medicine field is still some distance away from here, and the reason why those poisonous snakes will lead the way here is very simple, every time people go to collect medicine, they start from here.
"The language barrier is a big barrier!" Zhao Yun also figured out the reason, but there was no way, fortunately, although there were many people in this place, there were no traps, all the traps were around the medicine field, who would have thought that the thieves would come here?
