It's a pity that Qin Ke only tried to lift the body of the demon snake, and immediately showed a look like "Sorry to disturb ......".

The body of this big snake was too heavy, and the skin was covered with a layer of copper armor-like scales, Qin Ke sighed, it seemed that the idea of taking the whole snake out was a bit fantastical, maybe cutting a large piece of snake meat was the best choice that was easier to achieve.

Qin Ke also dug up a large piece of snake oil and made a temporary torch for himself, and when more light shone around the cave wall, he suddenly felt a sense of reincarnation in his heart.

It's just that since this demon dove glass was killed by him, he didn't even encounter a dove glass along the way.

He sniffed the blood on his body, and wondered if it was because he had slaughtered their ancestors that he had provoked the other snakes to hide in the crevices of the rocks.

Sure enough, when he pried open a more suspicious cave wall, he really pulled out a dove glass more than a foot long in it, but unfortunately this dove glass was already dying, and when he opened the snake's belly and wanted to take away the snake gall, he found that there was only a pool of black-purple stinky water left where the snake gall should have grown, which was-

Scared?

Qin Ke could only accept this fact with a wry smile and slowly continue to walk forward.

As a result, after a long time, he turned back to the place where he had killed the demon snake just now, and the entire cave was completely closed?

Even if he found some small forks in the road and heard the sound of terrestrial bats flapping their wings inside, how could he fit into the small hole that he could barely see with his eyes?

After standing for a long time, he returned to the place where he had fallen in silence, and looked up at the entrance of the cave, which was still not far from him, and his face became more and more ugly.

However, perhaps it was the endless road, and just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly found that a vine the thickness of a finger slowly extended from the entrance of the cave, and he could clearly see that there were many fresh leaves on the vine, and the vine hung all the way to his feet, and finally stopped moving.

Qin Ke's eyes were suddenly full of surprise, and he looked up at the entrance of the cave and muttered, "Who is so reliable?"

A black shadow flashed, he only felt his shoulders sinking, and when he turned his head to look, Xiao Hei was falling on his shoulder impartially.

A pair of black eyes flickered twice, and Xiao Hei immediately found the piece of demon snake meat that Qin Ke was tied to his belt, and jumped up with a squeak.

Qin Ke untied the piece of meat and put it on the ground, touched Xiao Hei's head and asked, "Is it the person you found?"

Xiao Hei ignored him, obviously more interested in the bright red piece of meat in front of him.

Qin Ke rolled his eyes and sighed, "As for it, people who don't know still think that I abuse you and often don't give you food." ”

The top of the cave entrance was surprisingly quiet, and there was no sound of anyone talking, Qin Ke was a little puzzled, glanced at Xiao Hei, and thought to himself that he would leave nothing else for now, since someone was willing to put down the vines to save him, it would not be because they wanted to "fish" him and harm him again......

Let's just climb up the vine first.

The vines were very tough, completely different from the ones that grew around the hole, and he feared several times that the vines were not strong enough and he would fall down again, but in the end he managed to climb out of the hole safely.

However, when he climbed out of the cave, he did not see any figure around him, only the sound of the wind, the shadows of the trees, and the cold moonlight projected through the heavy and lush canopy, and in the distance, he could clearly hear the echo of the wolf howl and the tiger howl in the mountains.

Qin Ke looked around, walked all the way to a towering giant tree along the vine in his hand, squatted down to study the ugly and rough knot, this knot was already a little loose, if it wasn't for Qin Ke's hands and feet when he climbed up, maybe he would really fall back again.

"What's the situation?" Qin Ke threw away the vines, confused.

When he just wanted to sit down against the big tree and rest for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him, thinking about it, he walked around and walked behind the tree, but he covered his mouth all of a sudden!

In front of him, a tall black bear was lying on its back on the ground, staring at two eyes the size of copper bells, and with a low roar, Qin Ke saw that it raised its bear paws, as if it was about to get up and sprint towards him!

He subconsciously pulled out the dagger from his waist, and the whole person retreated towards the tree with agility, his shortness of breath caused his chest to rise and fall violently, thinking that the person who saved him just now saw this bear and was scared away?

He stood under the tree with his dagger in his hand and waited for a while, but the bear did not get up, and gradually he could not even hear the roar.

Under the wind vision, he heard the sound of breathing extremely faintly, not like a beast, but like a dying old bear.

But then the light of the torch came, and he could clearly see that the bear's mane was shiny and shiny, and his body was tall and strong, and he should be in the prime of life.

Qin Ke waited until the bear's breathing stopped, and finally couldn't help it, he leaned over with a frown, he checked the bear's body, but he didn't see any injuries.

In the light of the fire, he drew his head closer with some difficulty, and at last he saw a very small wound on its chest, which barely gushed much blood, except for a small handful of hair stained with dried blood scabs.

"Can such a small wound be fatal?" Qin Ke was a little incredulous, but he had to believe that this should be the only reason for the death of this black bear.

But if there is such a master, who can pierce the heart of the demon bear with a sharp weapon, cut off its vitality, and then throw down the vines to save himself, why would he refuse to come out to meet?

Qin Ke's mind became more and more confused.

Xiao Hei should have eaten enough in the cave at this time, and climbed up along the vines, Qin Ke looked at its satisfied appearance, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked, "Hey, you were on it just now, right?"

Xiao Hei glanced at him, tilting his head a little inexplicably.

Qin Ke asked solemnly: "Xiao Hei, did you see the person who killed this bear and dropped the vines just now?"

Xiao Hei let out a low cry, but did not respond, but slipped into the open placket of his chest, curled up in a ball, and quickly closed his eyes.

Qin Ke helplessly took off his clothes and looked at it, and said softly: "Aren't you able to understand what I say?"

Xiao Hei breathed a long time, and he had already fallen asleep peacefully.

Qin Ke hated it so much, and he also knew that this guy would be sleepy after every big meal, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.

The snake gall bladder was collected for more than half, and he also got a demon snake gall, which was an unexpected joy. However, seeing this dark night, Qin Ke knew that it was not appropriate to move around at this time, so he climbed a big tree and prepared to simply sleep.

Wu County, camp.

"How many died yesterday?" Abu asked one of the men in front of him.

If Qin Ke was here at this time, he would definitely be extremely surprised. Because the person standing in front of Abu was none other than the biggest "sworn enemy" in their previous Taixue Hall - Zhang Mingqi.

It's just that after the "Destruction of the Embankment and Flooding of the Fields", the Zhang family fell from the clouds to dust overnight, and the original "pride of the sky" is now almost white.

Although his old father is now out of prison, and the court has spared him from death by remembering his merits, his Zhang family's mansion compound can never go back, and can only live in a simple and shabby courtyard house.

Most of them are ordinary people who have done nothing all their lives, and of course there will be some ruffians who wander the market, and even thieves and snitches who steal for a living.

His father could not get rid of the depression in his heart, and he was already ill in prison, and now he can only lie on the bed all day, looking at the black top of the bed and breathing.

Zhang Mingqi took over the military order allocated from above this time, and set off half a day late behind Gao Changgong's ship, and before leaving, he used the only money left on his body to find a trustworthy old servant to take care of his father's daily life.

As a result, the honest-looking old servant received the fixed amount and disappeared the next day.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few well-wishers in the neighborhood who were willing to take turns to help take care of him, I was afraid that he would really not be able to set off with the army with confidence.

He knelt in front of his father's bed, knocked his head on the ground three times, and swore that "Dad, sooner or later, my son will take back what belongs to our family." ”

Maybe this sentence will never be realized, but if he doesn't leave himself with this thought, how can he force himself to bow his "noble" head in front of those forces? How can he resolutely give up his self-righteous identity as "Zhang Gongzi"? How can he continue to crawl and fight in this cruel and cold-blooded world? ?

But after arriving in Wu County, he felt that the humble confidence he had built up with great difficulty collapsed......
