There was a carriage parked outside Baihe Village, and when Zhou Qing and Mo Fei ran outside the village and were about to untie the horse rope tied to the tree, the roar of the ghost appeared not far away with his figure.

"It's too late, let's go into the woods. ”

Seeing the ghosts rushing in, Zhou Qing glanced at Mo Fei, and then the figures of the two of them went directly into a dark and quiet mountain forest on the edge of the village.

The two of them ran a few steps in the forest, when they heard the sound of horses crying behind them, Zhou Qing did not pause, he knew that the horse that took them from Jinling County to this Baihe Village must be swallowed alive.

Hearing the sound of the horse's cry, Mo Fei glanced back and saw that the ghost bit down from it and broke the horse in two.

"Don't catch fast!" Finding that Mo Fei beside him suddenly fell behind, Zhou Qing, who was running, opened his mouth and shouted, but the steps under his feet did not stop.

The trees in this mountain forest are luxuriant, and the forest is very dark, Zhou Qing and the others can't run with all their strength, but because of the huge body, the ghost can't chase in this dense forest with all his strength.

I don't know how long I ran in the mountains and forests, and Mo Fei's voice came from behind Zhou Qing.

"Xiaodao Chief, I can't run anymore, I shouldn't be able to see tomorrow's morning, there are some words that you can help me pass on to my family. ”

Hearing Mo Fei's words behind him, Zhou Qing felt guilty in his heart.

Thinking back to what happened tonight, it was because of his carelessness that he ended up like this, and if the river at the edge of the village could be counted, it might be ......

"Tonight's incident was caused by my carelessness, don't worry, I won't let you die. Zhou Qing, who was running, suddenly stopped, picked up a branch from the ground, and said, "You keep running, I'll lure him away." ”

When Mo Fei ran past his side, Zhou Qing saw the ghost chasing after him, he raised his hand and shot the branch at the ghost, and then ran in another direction in the mountains and forests.

The goblin stretched out his hand and waved away the shooting branches, let out a roar of rage, and chased in the direction of Zhou Qing.

chased and fled, and after a long time, Zhou Qing's mouth began to gasp, and at the same time, in the woods in front of him, there was a sound of 'hiss~hiss~'.

Immediately after, a pair of green eyes the size of his palm appeared in the dark forest.

After running two more steps, he saw a giant python that was a few points thicker than an adult's waist and pounced on him with its mouth wide open.

In a hurry, Zhou Qing dodged sideways and avoided the python's mouth, and at this moment, the ghost behind him chased closer.

After the giant python pounced in the air, it did not attack Zhou Qing in the second attack, but spit out the snake letter and rushed towards the approaching ghosts.

Zhou Qing, who got out of the python's mouth, took a deep breath, and saw that the giant python didn't pay attention to himself, but went to the ghost that was chasing, and secretly said lucky in his heart, and immediately ignored the fight between the fierce beast and the ghost, and continued to run in the forest to escape.

He knew in his heart that although the python was thick and ferocious, it was nothing more than paralyzed flesh in front of the ghost, which was as hard as a stone.

After the chasing ghost saw the giant python that suddenly rushed out, he stopped, he stretched out his big hand as sharp as an eagle's claw and stabbed directly into the head of the giant python, and then grabbed the python's head and put it in his mouth.

The giant python that was caught by the head waved its tail in a hurry, and after sweeping several trees in a row, it slapped at the ghost.

The power of this broken tree is not insignificant, but it does not hurt the ghost in the slightest.

After the ghost stood in place and chewed a few bites, he dragged the nearly ten-zhang long python body to catch up with Zhou Qing at this time, and this series of actions only happened in ten breaths.

On the way, the ghost will take the python corpse to its mouth from time to time and bite it, and the original monstrous anger on its face has subsided a little, and it seems that this giant python is quite suitable for its appetite.

Chasing Zhou Qing from a relatively long distance, after the ghost swallowed all the pythons, its already huge body seemed to increase a little.

"Hmm~"

A satisfied roar came from the ghost's mouth, and he suddenly stopped, no longer chasing after Zhou Qing, but turned around and walked in the other direction.

The sound of chasing behind him disappeared, and Zhou Qing also stopped, stood in the forest and looked behind him suspiciously, and then followed in the direction where the ghost was walking.

After following the goblin for a moment, he saw a lake nestled between the mountains.

The surface of the lake is calm and traceless, and the crescent moon in the sky is printed on the surface of the lake, and the picture is like a painting.

The ghost who walked to the lake let out a low roar, and then its huge body leaped into the lake, instantly stirring up huge ripples on the calm surface of the lake.

Some distance from the lake, Zhou Qing sat in the forest, looking at the lake that was gradually calming down, and was very puzzled.

Half an hour later, when a blush rose in the sky, he realized why the goblin didn't chase after him.

Originally, in order to escape for his life, he didn't count the time, but he didn't expect that this night would pass.

Zhou Qing got up and walked to the lake for a turn, he had no choice but to leave here first for the ghosts hidden under the lake.

He had been chased by the goblin for most of the night last night, and he couldn't figure out where he was now, so he had to go down a stream below the lake.

After not sleeping all night and expending a lot of physical strength, Zhou Qing's face was a little pale at this time.

As he walked, there was a sudden soreness in his calf, and when he looked down, he found that under his feet, there was a poisonous snake two feet long and red all over his body.

After the snake bit him, it burrowed into the grass on the side, while Zhou Qing sat down by the stream, his face even more ugly.

"It's over......"

After being bitten by that red snake, Zhou Qing could feel a dizziness in his brain, so he could conclude that it must be a poisonous snake.

"I can't go to the village in front of me, I can't go to the store in the back, and I have snake venom ...... in my body"

Glancing at the wound on his calf that was bitten by a poisonous snake, Zhou Qing took out a yellow rope from the cloth bag he was carrying on his side and tied it tightly to his calf, then picked up a branch by the stream and walked on, got up and continued along the stream.

After stumbling for a while, his vision began to blur, and in the blurred vision, he saw a wooden bridge not far away.

Leaning on the branches, he tried to walk to the bridge, but after a few steps forward, he felt that it was dark before him, and he fell into the rubble by the brook.

......

At noon, two figures appeared on the wooden bridge not far from Zhou Qing.

The two men were a woman who looked to be in her thirties, and a girl of twelve or thirteen.

"Master, look at the red shadow, it looks like a person has fallen to the ground. The girl walking on the bridge saw the boy in red lying abruptly in the rubble.

"Xi'er, I have said many times that my teacher has brought you out this time, and my generation of cultivators should be careful like stopping water, and let the affairs of others take their course, and they should not be easily intervened, so as not to be contaminated with cause and effect. ”

"I see, Master. The girl nodded in response, then glanced at Zhou Qing who fell in the pile of rubble, and said, "But Master, that person looks like something has happened, if we turn a blind eye, I'm afraid it will ......."

The girl was halfway through her sentence when her teacher looked at her and let out a soft sigh.
