"Shall we go around the side and take a walk inside?" asked Josia, looking at her husband with an inquiring eye.

"Well, we should not alarm them when we pass by the boulder over there, this silver-horned flying snake, although it has a strong sense of territory, as long as you don't threaten their safety, they generally won't take the initiative to attack humans. But we still have to be careful, they are about to go into hibernation soon, and it is the time of year when they are at their most irritable, and it is very annoying to go crazy. Zuo Liancheng said as he walked in front of his wife, "It's better for me to explore the way in front, it's safer." ”

The two of them quickly bypassed the bushes where the silver-horned flying snake was and continued to walk up the stream. There was no danger this time, although there were a few flying snakes and other dangerous animals occasionally, but they were all carefully avoided by the two of them.

"Look, it's a big piece of ivy!" Josia had sharp eyes, and soon spotted the ivy growing on the opposite side. I saw that on the stone cliff wall on the opposite side, which was more than ten zhang away, densely crawled with dark green finger-thick vines, and the thin leaves the size of fingernails showed their dark red backs when blown by the wind—this was the ivy they were looking for. This ivy is vigorous, the vitality is extremely strong, it is an indispensable material for refining Pei Yuan Dan, Bu Yuan Dan and other kinds of pills, although it is not very precious and rare, but the ivy that can be seen in ordinary times, even if it has grown for hundreds of years, it is only the thickness of chopsticks, I didn't expect that most of the things I saw in front of me were the size of thumbs, and individual vines were as thick as a baby's arm, which must have grown for at least a thousand years or even thousands of years.

"I didn't expect to see so many of them at once, and besides, the ivy here seems to have grown for a long time. Looks like we're in luck!"

"Be careful!" As soon as Josia finished speaking, he suddenly heard a warning from the man standing behind him, and before he could react, he saw a sword light flash in front of him, and a three-foot-long silver-horned flying snake had already been cut in two, and landed on the ground one meter away from his left side, and the two bodies covered with black and white circular patterns writhed freely on the ground, which made people feel extremely disgusting.

Josia looked at the dead snake lying on the ground, and her heart palpitated, and she almost fell into its path. The reason why this silver-horned flying snake is called a flying snake does not mean that it really has wings on its body and can fly freely in the air, but that it can arch its body and then catapult into the air like an arrow to attack the enemy, which is extremely fast and unguardable. What's even worse is that this snake is extremely venomous, if it bites and does not get timely treatment, even if the martial arts are strong and the Taoism is profound, within an hour, it will definitely convulsions all over the body in pain, and the poison will die.

Seeing this, Josie quickly pulled out the sword at her waist and held it in her hand, vigilantly observing the movements around her. Although she is a daughter, she is not the kind of mediocre woman who can only stay at home to cook on the fire, serve tea and water, although her martial arts are not as good as her husband, but she is also a good hand who can go into battle to kill the enemy and fight wolves in the mountains.

The couple held their swords in their hands and slowly walked towards the opposite cliff, but as soon as they took a few steps forward, they heard three soft sounds of "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" from the grass, and three flying snakes shot straight towards the couple from three different directions like arrows from the string. Zuo Liancheng's eyes were fast, and he saw the cold light of the long sword in his hand flash, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and then splitting the flying snake that attacked from the left front, and then his body was short, dodging the flying snake attacking from behind. At the same time, Josia also shook her long sword, and she had already shot down the flying snake that was about to be bought in front of her. But before the two of them could catch their breath, more flying snakes flew from all directions like raindrops. At the same time, there was a dense rustling sound in the grass, and more flying snakes swooped down on them from the ground. This flying snake seemed to have mastered its wisdom, and when it saw that the sneak attack failed, it actually launched an attack on the two of them from the ground and the air at the same time!

"Hurry back, we may have broken into the lair of the flying snake!" Josia saw that the situation was not right, and quickly reminded her husband loudly, and at the same time took out a large handful of flying needles from her arms with her left hand, and she didn't have time to lock the direction, and with a shake of her hand, the flying needles shot out in all directions. This flying needle is Josia's unique secret weapon, simmering on it is highly poisonous, and those who are hit by the flying needle will not see blood and seal their throats and be killed on the spot, but they will be numb in an instant, lose all their strength, and be unable to move. If there is no unique antidote personally prepared by the person who administers the needle, the average samurai will die of poison within two hours, even if the person with high internal strength, if the medicine is not applied in time, even if it is finally rescued, it will leave serious sequelae, and from then on the hands and feet are weak and weak, not only can not lift any heavy objects, let alone dance the sword and practice the feet. When Josia returned from her master, the master repeatedly told her that this flying needle must not be abused, and also told her that once she found that a fellow disciple used this flying needle to kill innocents indiscriminately and harm the villagers, she must clean up the portal to ensure the innocence of the master. After Josia finished her studies, although she often carried the flying needle with her, she never used it once, except for her husband, and even her own children did not know that she had such a skill, let alone the rest of the tribe. Because she is only walking in the clan on weekdays, even if she accompanies her husband into the mountains to collect medicine or hunt, she generally relies on the long sword in her hand to solve the battle, today the matter is urgent, in the face of such a large number of silver-horned flying snakes, simply using the sword, I am afraid it will be difficult to work for a while, she no longer hesitates, and casually hit a flying needle, I didn't expect the effect to be wonderful, and suddenly more than a dozen flying snakes were hit by the flying needle, fell from the air, rolled and struggled on the ground, and died in a blink of an eye.

"Okay, you use the flying needle in front to open the way, and after I break it, let's get out of their encirclement first. Zuo Liancheng is not a mother-in-law's mother, he immediately decided, the two switched positions, Josia handed the sword to his left hand, and his right hand took out a flying needle from his arms, turned around, raised his foot and walked towards the road where he came, while Zuo Liancheng leaned back against his wife, walked back step by step, and at the same time danced the long sword in his hand into a sword net, covering the whole body.

It may be that the two of them have already shocked the entire group of snakes by their previous merciless killing. I saw the shadows of silver flowers swaying everywhere in the air on the ground, and these snakes seemed to be commanded from behind, and they surrounded them without caring about life or death, completely painting a posture of not giving up if they were not buried in the belly of the snakes.

The two of them fought and retreated, slowly retreating towards the hillside behind them. The long sword in Zuo Liancheng's hand was still majestic, and under his fierce sword momentum, dozens of snakes had already been cut into two or even several pieces by his sword, and his own clothes were also covered with blood at this time, and the whole body exuded an unpleasant smell of blood, which made people sick. In contrast, Josie rarely gives the flying snake a chance to attack in close quarters because she uses flying needles to deal with flying snakes in most cases, and although her clothes are stained with a lot of blood, she is much cleaner than her husband.

"What should I do? This snake seems to be inexhaustible, how can there be so many!" The two have been fighting with the snake for nearly an hour, and the flying snakes that died in the hands of the two of them are two or three hundred, but the flying snakes around them are still not afraid of death, and they are constantly attacking the two of them, although the two of them have not been injured by the snake until now, but it is not a good thing to consume it like this. Not to mention that the energy of the two is limited, and they will inevitably be physically exhausted if they fight for a long time, not to mention that nearly half of the flying needles they brought at this time have been used, although there are still a lot of them, but they can't last long if they keep projecting and not recycling. Josia's face couldn't help but feel a little worried at this time, and she asked worriedly.

"Hold on a little longer, you can see that the number of snakes blocking us in front of us is obviously much smaller than the number of snakes chasing behind us, which means that we are far away from the central area of the snakes, as long as we rush forward a little further, we will definitely be able to break through the encirclement of the snakes. Zuo Liancheng was obviously calmer than his own woman, and his heart was not flustered, at this time, he kicked away a flying snake that was about to bite his calf, and then with a sword in his hand, he slashed the head of another flying snake flying towards the door in front of him, and then answered his woman's question loudly.

Josia's eyes swept around quickly, and saw that the situation was exactly the same as what her husband said, and at the moment she was determined, and with a raise of her hand, two flying needles shot out, hitting the seven inches of the silver-horned flying snake that was ready to get up and attack herself from the air in the grass three meters away in front of her, and the snake's head was brought up by the strength contained in the flying needles, and slapped on a small tree next to it with a "snap", shaking the small tree from side to side, and the yellow leaves of the branches fell one after another. In order to save the already small number of flying needles in order to last more time, Josia no longer threw a dozen or dozens at a time, as she did at the beginning, but began to reduce the number of them, using one or two at a time. Each time a dozen or dozens of pieces are fired, although the killing area is large, but the accurate head is not enough, and a lot of flying needles will be wasted, and now one or two flying needles are fired at a time, although the killing area has been reduced, but the quasi-head has come up, and the effect of killing the enemy has not decreased much.

The two of them covered each other one after the other, and after a rush of killing, the snakes blocking in front of them were gradually scarce, and when the two finally rushed to the top of the mountain, there were no snakes around.

By the time the two of them came to the big tree where they had tied their horses, they were already exhausted and panting, and the sweat on their bodies had already soaked their clothes.

The two of them took off their blood-stained coats, and then took out clean clothes from the package on horseback and changed them - the clothes they had just worn were obviously not worn until they were washed, there were too many blood stains on the clothes, and the two had to rest in the forest at night, which could easily attract the attack of wild beasts.

"Dad, what should we do now? Then you have too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to succeed if we attack. If I could wait a little longer, when the weather gets colder, the snake will also go into the hole to hibernate, but I am afraid that it will be too late. Josia asked, wrapping the two of them in another package.

"Waiting is definitely not the way to go, then Dan Ivanti's conditions are time-limited, if we can't finish on time, he will definitely find other troubles. In this case, let's find some water first, wash the blood off our bodies, then eat something, and then go to find other medicinal herbs. As for this ivy, when I go back and prepare the snake repellent powder, I should be able to drive this snake group away for a while. Although the effect of the snake repellent powder is not long, it will not last long, but if we are well prepared and act fast enough, we should be able to collect the ivy we want before the effect wears off. Zuo Liancheng knows that although this ivy is not a rare medicinal material, it can be found in many places, but under normal circumstances, most of the ones found are not old enough and the medicinal effect is insufficient. Now that I have encountered it, of course, it is impossible to give up because of a group of snakes.
