When the three of Zuo Liancheng came to the place where they had been ambushed by the Snake King before, it was already completely dark. The trio quickly cleared a clearing at the top of the hill and started a raging fire. Sleeping in the open was not a difficult task for the three of them, and by the light of the fire, without much effort, they built a lanzhang hammock with vines on a relatively high tree next to the fire, which was the place to rest at night.

It had rained in the morning, and the ground was still a little damp until now, and if you sleep on the ground, not only are you susceptible to moisture, but you are not as comfortable as sleeping in a hammock, let alone sleeping in a tree, you will feel more or less safer. As for the healthy horses that rode when they entered the mountain, they could only ask for their own blessings, and this could not be blamed on the three people for not having a conscience and ignoring them, for no one expected to meet the snake king in that valley, let alone find an opportunity to successfully kill it. Being able to successfully kill the Snake King was originally an unexpected thing, and in the face of so many treasures that were hard to buy, but could not be found, and might even change the fate of their lives, how could anyone be so heartbroken that they didn't pick it? Now that it is so late, although there is a faint moonlight overhead, who dares to risk his life to rush to the night in this deep mountain and old forest where there is not even a road? Fortunately, where the three of them tied their horses, the terrain was quite open, and it was not a lakeside stream that was particularly easy to attract wild beasts, and in such a place, it was relatively much safer, so that it would not be easy to encounter too many large beasts of prey that came to drink or hunt.

The three of them sat around the fire, took out the snake meat that had been roasted in the afternoon, put it on the fire and heated it, and then feasted beautifully. But the three of them didn't dare to eat too much, after all, this thing was too replenishing, and there was a lot of energy contained in it, and eating too much would easily cause harm to the body.

"It's a shame that there is so much snake meat, if only I could bring it all back and bake it into jerky. After eating the last piece of snake meat in her hand, Josia took out a silk scarf and wiped the oil and water off her mouth, saying with a little unfinished and a little regretful.

"yes, it's a bit reluctant to just throw them away. Wait until tomorrow morning, if the corpses of the snake king are not eaten by the other demon beasts, we will send a letter back to the chief of Lao Xili, and ask him to bring some people over and get the remaining snakes back. That's a good thing for the clan. "As a member of the Shenlong tribe, Zuo Liancheng still has a deep affection for his tribe, and if he can help him, he doesn't mind doing something.

"If you have such an idea, then why wait until tomorrow? I believe that even if a demon beast comes to snatch the corpse of the Snake King tonight, there shouldn't be too many. Moreover, it is impossible to distribute it evenly between demon beasts and demon beasts, and they will definitely fight for food. In this way, it will drag on even longer. If you're lucky, when the clansmen rush over early tomorrow morning, you won't only have a chance to get a piece of the pie, but you might also be able to get the corpses of other demon beasts. It's a pity that I don't have many bullets, otherwise, I'm really sure that I can save all the corpses of these bloody silver snakes. ”

"Bullets? What are you talking about? Are they expensive? Why don't you bring more?" Josia had never heard of the word "bullet" before, and couldn't help but ask a series of questions curiously.

"That's it. Xiao Jian withdrew a bullet from the sniper rifle magazine and put it in her hand, then sighed, and then added, "This is the weapon I used to kill those big snakes in the morning, don't underestimate it, although it is only so big, it can completely pierce an iron plate one or two inches thick." It's a pity that I only have thirteen of these bullets in total, and this time I brought six, and I used up four at once just now, and now only the last two are left. ”

"Why don't you prepare more yourself? You can attack from such a distance, it's just unguardable, it's indeed a rare magic weapon. Zuo Liancheng couldn't believe that such a small thing could directly kill the Snake King who had been cultivating for thousands of years from such a distance. If this little thing has so much power, why not make more of it yourself?

"This thing can't be made if you want to do it, and if you want to make this kind of bullet, you need many, many conditions to do it. Xiao Jian didn't explain to them the technology and equipment needed to make this kind of high-precision bullet, because even if he told them, they couldn't understand it, so it was better not to say it. As for what to do with those bullets in the future, after those bullets are consumed, we can only take one step at a time. Anyway, it is impossible for a living person to be suffocated by urine, and there is a way before the car reaches the mountain.

"I'll have a message for the chief. Just do as you say, and let the tribe send more people. After saying that, Zuo Liancheng took the thumb and index finger of his right hand in his mouth and let out a short, sharp whistle continuously. After a while, a black feathered, palm-sized bird flew over and landed on his shoulder, and gently pecked at Zuo Liancheng's sideburns with its pointed beak very closely. Zuo Lian tore off a strip of white cloth from the corner of his clothes, wrote a few words on it with charcoal, rolled it up carefully, stuffed it into the bamboo tube on the bird's feet, and then raised his hand, and the black bird disappeared into the night sky again.

After doing all this, the three of them sat down by the fire again and began to chat. Mainly to talk about some questions about the cultivation experience, of course, Zuo Liancheng and his wife inevitably asked about Xiao Jian's origin and future plans, but they could see Xiao Jian's hesitation, looking at him left and right. Later, I simply didn't ask. It's not, Xiao Jian is deliberately avoiding them, it's really because he can't even tell why he came to this world. As for his future plans, he hasn't even figured out the basic situation yet, so how can he talk about a complete plan? Of course, Xiao Jian longs for himself to become stronger, hoping that one day he can get out of this mountain and see the outside world. But can this be said to be the ideal of the future? At best, it is just an instinctive reaction not to be willing to be mediocre.

Just as the three of them felt that they had nothing to say and were about to go up to the tree to rest, a huge beast roar suddenly came from the valley. The voice was loud, but it was dull, and it seemed to be mixed with anger and threat.

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

......

In response to the loud, dull roar just now, there were several mournful wolf howls in succession. It seemed that under the threat of the tiger roar in front of him, he had no intention of flinching.

There is a situation, and there seems to be a fight over there. Xiao Jian picked up the sniper rifle beside him, raised his hands flat, pressed the scope tightly above his left eye, and looked into the valley by the faint moonlight in the sky.

Sure enough, in the middle of the valley, where the three of them had killed the snake king during the day, three giant beasts, two large and one small, and a group of demon beasts with gray fur and scales on their feet were confronting each other nervously, roaring at each other with threats and warnings. The giant beast was huge, one or two meters tall, a bit like the tiger Xiao Jian had seen in zoos and TV movies before, but it had a pair of curved horns about a foot long on its head. At this time, they are standing in a zigzag shape, with their tails facing inwards and their heads facing outwards, both with their front melons slightly curled and their backs arched, as if they are ready to strike at the uninvited guests in the middle. Beside them, Xiao Jian saw that the piece of meat that had been decomposed by the three of them from the Snake King's corpse during the day was much less than when he left.

"It should have been stolen by this guy, maybe they ate too comfortably, maybe they believed in their own strength too much, and finally let down their vigilance before falling into the encirclement. Xiao Jian muttered in his heart, moved over the scope again, and began to carefully examine the group of animals that dared to surround these three behemoths. The size of a military dog in the army, its feet are covered with a thick layer of scales from the calf down to its paws.

"One, two, three...... 19.20...... XXVII, XXVIII. Xiao Jian moved the sniper rifle in his hand and carefully counted them twice in the scope, a total of twenty-eight, close to the number of ten to one. However, is this a simple quantitative comparison that can determine the victory or defeat of both sides?

"What's the situation?" After all, it was too far away, and there was only the faint moonlight at night, and although the two of them could clearly hear the roar, it was impossible to see what was happening so far away.

"There are three huge demon beasts and a group of wolf-like animals...... Xiao Jian briefly described the appearance he had just seen, and handed over the sniper rifle for the two of them to observe for themselves.

"That huge body, with horns on its head, like a tiger, is the 'Golden Horn Demon Tiger', this kind of demon beast has no sharp teeth and sharp claws, and is cruel by nature, it can be said that it is the overlord of the mountains in our Qinglong Mountain Range. The other kind is like a dog, with scales on its feet, called 'saber-toothed demon wolves', which usually live in groups of several or a dozen heads, and are rarely left alone. Their teeth are also unusually sharp, and they can run very quickly. What's more, this saber-toothed demon wolf is very intelligent and can cooperate well with each other to attack the enemy. Sometimes, if you encounter a large animal that lives in a pack, the Dressers will even unite several wolves and launch an attack together under the command of the head wolf, which is even more terrifying. On weekdays, six or seven saber-toothed demon men are not the opponent of the Golden Horn Demon Tiger, but once more saber-toothed demon wolves unite, it will be difficult to say who will kill the deer. Did you notice that the tallest male wolf at the back of the pack was not? With it, it may attract more saber-toothed demon wolves nearby at any time, it seems that tonight on this mountain, the golden horn demon tiger is more than lucky. Zuo Liancheng was afraid that Xiao Jian would not understand the power of the saber-toothed demon wolf, so he deliberately made a detailed introduction. At the end, he advised: "In the future, if you encounter this kind of saber-toothed demon wolf in the mountains, if you are not sure that it is alone, don't take the initiative to provoke it." It generally doesn't like to attack humans, and if it senses that you are not a threat to it, it will not attack you as long as it is not too hungry. This thing is still very vindictive, and if you can't kill it once and let it escape, the next time you meet it, it will definitely come to you for revenge. ”

"Is it so terrible?" Xiao Jian couldn't help but think of a novel he had read before, "Wolf Totem", in which the author Jiang Rong described in detail the story of the steppe wolves and Tengger herdsmen on the Mongolian steppe. Isn't the saber-toothed demon wolf described in Zuolianchengkou the same as the steppe wolf in terms of living habits? Only it is larger in size and has scales on its feet. However, for the kind of animal that is considered to have the highest IQ on the earth except for humans, Xiao Jian is still very worthy of it, and many of the advantages of this animal are worth learning from humans. For example, tenacity and tenacity, not afraid of difficulties, not letting go of the goal, being able to fight alone but also work together and so on. There are many companies and teams that embrace this spirit, and there is a particularly best-selling book on it, which seems to be called "Wolf Road".
