Chapter 6: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
When the Xuanji hermit walked to the entrance of the cave and unexpectedly found several alien warriors and white snakes lying dead on the ground, he was taken aback, and his face showed a look of great surprise. Oh my God, what happened here when I left? What happened to them?
Xuanji Hermit's shoulders shook, and the prey in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", he looked at the big white snake that fell to the mouth of the cave with shock, almost couldn't believe his eyes, but the blood on the wound of the big white snake had coagulated, revealing a dark red color, and he lay there motionless.
There was an expression of great pain in the eyes of the hermit of Xuanji, and he beat his chest, tears were about to fall, and he didn't understand why this was the case.
The Xuanji hermit walked quickly to the big white snake, slowly squatted down, lowered his head and stroked the cold body of the big white snake, and muttered in his mouth: "Big white snake, big white snake! Wake up! What the hell is going on? What happened?!"
But the big white snake didn't react at all, it didn't move, there was no brilliance in its golden eyes, and it stared blankly at the Xuanji hermit.
The hermit looked back at the other smaller white snakes, all of whom had left the world covered in scars.
At this time, the Xuanji hermit turned around and found the body of Gartnu who had fallen next to the great white snake. He stood up and walked over to him, and kicked Gartnu's lifeless body with his toes, the corpse moving only with the hermit's force, but without a trace of life.
The Xuanji hermit couldn't help but wonder a little: "I've never seen these people, where did they come from?" It's so cruel, it looks like they must have come to steal the Book of Heaven, but how do they know about this place? Even this stone door has been opened by them, and it seems that the combination lock I set is still not safe!"
"But now that they have killed the white snake guarding the cave, what will I do in the future? If someone comes to steal the Book of Heaven, it will be troublesome, I have to think of a proper way quickly!"
Thinking of this, the hermit walked into the cave where the gate was open, and at a glance he found that the sword and the ancient silver necklace on the incense case had been stolen, and the hermit couldn't help but be so angry that he beat his chest, and he looked up and sighed: "Oh my God, these barbarians, they really deserve to die! They actually stole the sword and necklace, so where should I find them in the future? I am really sorry for the ancestor of the Rising and Falling Xi! I am sorry for my mission! Now even the guardian white snake has been killed by them! Oh my God! I will kill them!"
He stomped his foot hard, and a puff of dust rose from the ground and churned in the air.
Then the Xuanji hermit crouched down, holding his head in a dejected silence. The little white snake was awakened by the cry of the Xuanji hermit, she raised her head and looked at the somewhat desperate hermit, and curled up in the corner in a daze without saying a word.
After a while, the hermit came out of the cave, buried the corpses of the alien warriors one by one, and buried the Great White Snake family under a pine tree, and carved the two large characters "Righteous Snake" with a sharp knife on the thick trunk of the tree.
It was nearly dusk, and the sun was setting, and the blood-red afterglow shone on the cave. The hermit walked into the cave and picked up the prey he had caught during the day.
He lit a pile of firewood and set the cleaned pheasants on the fire and roasted them slowly.
The hermit sat by the fire, munching on a wild fruit with a dejected expression, the light of the fire reflecting his bearded face. At this time, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, after all, the Great White Snake family that had accompanied him for countless days and nights had left him, and they were still sacrificed to protect this heavenly book.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and turned his hand around the pheasant on the fire. Unfortunately, there was no way for him to save them, and the Xuanji hermit felt a little helpless in the face of this matter, and he felt very desperate.
At this time, the pheasant was roasted to a brown and shiny color, and the fat on the chicken dripped on the rising flames, making a "swish" sound, and the roasted pheasant was beating with the flames, exuding bursts of tempting meat aroma in the air.
The Xuanji hermit couldn't help but sniff, and the tempting appetite was immediately hooked, and his empty stomach made a "gurgling" sound. The hermit picked up the roasted pheasant that had been worn on an iron drill, blew on it, and tore off a chicken leg with all his might, and put it to his mouth and nibbled on it.
A breeze blew, and the scent of roasted pheasants drifted into the nose of the little white snake hiding in the corner, lying there and watching, with the floating air.
The little white snake was already hungry at this time, if it was in normal times, the big white snake would have brought food to fill her little belly, but now......
The little white snake was very disappointed, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, feeling so hungry! She really wanted to go up and take a bite of the fragrant chicken, but she was a little afraid of the hermit uncle, and she didn't know if he would feel very angry when he saw the little white snake.
The little white snake kept spitting out small letters and made a slight "sizzling" sound.
At this time, the Xuanji hermit seemed to hear the sound of the little white snake, he turned back to the entrance of the cave and looked for something in surprise, and then quickly stood up and walked to the place where the little white snake was hiding, with a chicken leg in his hand.
The little white snake was so frightened that she immediately retracted her head, but Uncle Hermit had already seen her. The Xuanji hermit squatted down in the corner, and looked at the little white snake's little head poking out slightly with a kind face: "Little white snake! There is still a little white snake alive, this is really good! God has eyes! Isn't this the youngest child of the big white snake!"
When the little white snake heard what the hermit said, the little heart that was still hanging just now immediately put it down, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, gently cocked the corners of her mouth and smiled embarrassedly at the hermit uncle, stretching and shrinking her little red tongue.
Uncle Hermit couldn't help but smile happily when he looked at the little white snake: "This little white snake is so cute! Little white snake! Are you hungry?"
When the little white snake heard the hermit uncle asking her if she was hungry, he immediately nodded, stretched his body outward, and looked pitifully at the chicken leg.
The Xuanji hermit smiled, and immediately tore a trace of chicken from the chicken leg and handed it to the little white snake's mouth.
The little white snake couldn't hold back her hungry appetite for a long time, and as soon as she stretched out her head and grabbed the chicken in the hermit's hand, she devoured it, and didn't even have time to chew it carefully, so she swallowed the shredded chicken on her stomach, and then looked at the chicken leg and spit out her little tongue without being too addicted.
The Xuanji hermit looked at the greedy appearance of the little white snake and seemed to feel very happy, so he tore off a few strands of meat and fed them to the little white snake.
The hermit of Xuanji slowly retreated backwards while feeding the little white snake with shredded chicken, and he wanted to lead the little white snake to the fire.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the Xuanji hermit saw the appearance of the little white snake clearly.
