91. Chase the murderer in the tree
The moment I saw the white-clothed fairy girl make a move, I suddenly felt my heart sink straight down!
With that fairy girl's means, she can seal the throat of the earth dog with a knife from a dozen steps away, and now she is condescending to shoot Uncle Mei, and there is no reason to miss!
"Uncle Mei!"
I cried out in despair, ready to collect his old man's body.
I only heard the sound of "tuo", and when I raised my eyes, I couldn't help but be stunned!
I saw that the bronze dagger thrown out by the white-clothed fairy girl was not pierced on Uncle Mei's body, but nailed to the one-inch ebony trunk in front of him.
Although Uncle Mei was not injured, he was also frightened into a cold sweat by this sudden blow, and both hands let go of the ancient tree, and he almost fell off the tree.
Fortunately, his legs were clamped tightly enough, and his waist board was also very strong, so he was able to hold it up in the tree.
And after the white-clothed fairy girl threw out the flying knife, she immediately stood up, like a nimble ape, hugged the trunk of the tree and continued to run upward.
I stared blankly at everything that was happening in front of me, only to feel that my heart was about to jump out of my chest, and after pondering again, I realized that the white-clothed fairy girl did not intend to ask for Uncle Mei's life, but just wanted to give him a warning, otherwise with her means, this flying knife would never miss, let alone shoot an inch in front of Uncle Mei impartially.
This weirdo doesn't seem to be a murderous man.
But this time Uncle Mei was lucky enough to pick up a life, and next time he may not be so lucky.
I hurriedly said to Uncle Mei: "Uncle, stop it, the two of us are not her opponents, and we will find a way to catch her when the shopkeeper Wang and them come over." ”
Uncle Mei didn't listen at all, and said with red eyes: "No!" I'm going to avenge your aunt! ”
After saying that, he hugged the trunk of the tree and climbed up again.
I had no choice but to follow closely, seeing that I had jumped up to a height of four or five meters, and when I looked up, I saw that the white-clothed fairy girl had already come to the location of the skull of the bronze dragon remains.
She approached the dragon's skull and stopped, suddenly reaching for a bone at the dragon's neck.
I watched from afar, and suddenly remembered one thing - in the Tuojiang tomb before, Uncle Mei found the mechanism in the dragon remains, the ancient Shu jade slip that Master Gao had in mind, was hidden near the skull of the dragon skeleton, and the mechanism to open the treasure was a bone at the neck of the dragon skeleton!
At the beginning, Uncle Mei observed for a long time, and then found the location of the mechanism, but the white-clothed fairy in front of him seemed to know the secret in advance, and came to the side of the dragon's skull, without looking at it, and directly turned on the machine spring.
I only heard a "snap", and the upper jaw of the bronze dragon slowly opened, and then a dark black delicate wooden box poked out from the crack between the bones, everything was exactly the same as the mechanism in the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang!
I know that in this wooden box, there must be another piece of ancient Shu jade slip!
Sure enough, I saw the white-clothed fairy girl pinching it with her hand, and the old wooden box was instantly shattered, and the brilliance inside was shining, it was a piece of jade slip full of color!
At the same time, the king's shopkeeper on the other side of the river was holding a pair of binoculars and looking at the situation on the ancient trees.
As soon as he saw the white-clothed fairy girl take out the ancient Shu jade slip from the dragon's mouth, he shouted at us like crazy: "Quick! Grab that piece of jade for me! Fast! Grab the jade Jane, and I'll double your reward! Triple it! ”
I said in my heart, shopkeeper Wang, you can really look down on us, and this white-clothed fairy girl grabbed jade slips, isn't this tantamount to snatching food?
There are no cases of flying knives in people's hands, and we will be sent to death when we go up.
But Uncle Mei was not afraid of this, and still gritted his teeth and climbed up.
I knew that he was bent on avenging Aunt Mei, so he was desperate to catch the white-clothed fairy girl, and I was also very touched to see him so desperate.
Thinking about it again, since the white-clothed fairy aunt and Aunt Mei's death are inseparable, then she probably knows the whereabouts of Sister Xiaomei.
"Damn, isn't it a cheap life when people die and birds face up? Lao Tzu is also out of the way! ”
In the distance, the shopkeeper Wang saw our two men climbing up so hard, and thought that we were loyal to him, and encouraged him vigorously: "Good job! Go and get the jade slip back for me! Rest assured, I will not do you any wrong! ”
However, after I had climbed two more steps, I suddenly heard a strange sound in my ears, which seemed to be the "rustling" sound of autumn leaves falling on the ground, but the sound was continuous.
Then I suddenly felt cold at my feet and neck, as if I had been entangled in something like a rattan.
I was startled and quickly looked down, but at this glance, I almost fell off the tree in fright!
I saw a crimson snake coiled around my ankle! The snake was three feet long, with a triangular head, and a pair of eyes that shimmered with a faint blue light, and looked at me with a bifurcated letter.
"it!"
I was so frightened that I scolded, quickly shook my ankles, threw the strange snake out, and then looked up and reminded Uncle Mei: "Uncle, be careful, there are snakes!" ”
As a result, before the words fell, I saw a red strange snake crawling on Uncle Mei's shoulder, and this snake was staring at Uncle Mei's neck, as if it was looking for a place to speak!
I've heard people say before that snakes with bright colors and triangular heads are often highly poisonous, and if you are bitten by this snake on the neck, I'm afraid that Uncle Mei's old life will be explained!
"Uncle, you have a snake on your shoulder, shake it!" I shouted.
Uncle Mei begs for a living in the water all the year round, and he is an old acquaintance with snakes.
As soon as he heard that there was a snake on his shoulder, Uncle Mei hurriedly hugged the trunk of the tree and twisted it violently, the snake couldn't bear it on his back, and was thrown down by Uncle Mei and landed on the trunk below.
Getting rid of the entanglement of two poisonous snakes in a row, but we were not safe, because there was a "rustle" sound like falling leaves in my ears, I swept around with my headlamp, and I saw a large number of red strange snakes entrenched on the trunks and branches of the surrounding trees, not to mention more than a dozen!
Unexpectedly, our grandfather stabbed the snake's nest!
The underground river is the territory of piranhas, but this old tree is the territory of the red viper!
Under the bag of this group of cold-blooded beasts, we didn't have time to look for the white-clothed fairy girl again, Uncle Mei took two steps up, came to the branch where the white-clothed fairy girl was hiding before, squatted, took out the diving blade from the backpack, and cut down the knife in his hand, and hacked to death the two strange snakes that caught up!
Then he shouted at me, "Rong Sheng, come to me first!" I'm safe! ”
I nodded, and hurriedly climbed up, but after climbing twice, the cold feeling on my ankle came again, and another strange snake wrapped around my foot and neck!
In a panic, I quickly shook my ankles and tried to shake the snake away, but because I was too nervous, this time I used too much force, and the snake was thrown away by me, but I also lost my balance on the trunk, stepped on the air, and fell down the trunk uncontrollably!
