"Hiss-" A thin, colorful snake poked its head out of the grass, its tongue occasionally peeking out of its mouth.

"It's almost there. "I ran.

The Painted Serpent meandered after me, silent, and the murderous motive lurked in the snake's eyes.

With a "whoosh", the prayer sword slashed horizontally against the wind, perfectly cutting off the roots of the herb growing in the ground, and I took advantage of the situation to pocket a string of Bilian mountain grass.

Thinking that I would leave safely without any unnecessary fighting, I was content to put my sword back into its scabbard. Unexpectedly, the head of the snake suddenly protruded from the ground, and the sharp and venomous snake teeth appeared, and the snake could be said to hunt me down on this hillside.

And as the prayer sword was quickly unsheathed again, the snake's head fell to the ground and sounded.

Smack!

The head of the snake and the body of the snake were completely separated, and a large amount of blood splattered from the fracture, staining part of the ground red.

"I was distracted just now, it was really dangerous, but fortunately, the reflection of the sword body reflected this snake when I collected the sword. "I touched my pounding heart and closed my eyes and inhaled.

"Hiss-" Multiple more poisonous snakes attacked.

"It's really tough, and I'm not going to be distracted this time. "I shook off the blood from my sword and placed it on the forearm of my other hand in a battle stance.

The group of snakes bounced off the ground and swooped in the blink of an eye. I subconsciously rolled over and quickly dodged, and when I got up, I just stared at the snakes in front of me.

"It shouldn't be all, right?" I thought of the worst-case scenario.

Sure enough, more snakes emerged from the grass and enveloped me tightly within the hunt.

"Numbers wins?" I scoffed, "don't underestimate me, bastard. ”

The snakes were approaching step by step, and I looked around, and the sword of prayer that I clenched was also stained with sweat in my palms. There are less than twenty steps, less than ten steps......

"Brother Tianchen, Xin'er is sick but waiting for you to come back. Wu Xin'er's heart was pinned on my heart with the wind.

"Ah, Xin'er, wait and see how your brother Tianchen cleans up these filthy beasts. "I jumped up on the spot with a light skill, condensed most of my strength, and threw out a large amount of sword qi from the blade.

A large amount of dazzling sword qi seemed to cover the sky in an instant, falling from above at an extremely fast and dense rate, completely penetrating the bodies of the snakes.

In a moment, the snakes fell to the ground, spurting out a lot of blood, and the place quickly turned into a mess.

"Plop. "My body fell from the sky, smashing a small hole into the ground, and the prayer sword fell and stuck in the ground not far away.

"Hmm, it hurts. "I got up from the ground and clutched my weakened and injured body. At the same time, I had an unusual pain in my legs.

I noticed two hole-like bite marks on my legs, no doubt caused by the snake's fangs.

"Am I destined to die in this wilderness?" my heart slowed, and I was afraid that the snake venom had begun to spread throughout my body.

My eyes gradually closed from one to the other......

"Uhh

A large number of auras suddenly appeared around my body, and then poured into my body, flowing in a specific pattern.

"Ahh "I got up from the ground, and the scene that had just happened was still lingering in my mind.

I moved my tired hands and feet, and found that they were all healed. I walked up to the Prayer Sword, pulled it back from the ground, and said, "It seems that the injury is completely healed, and my physical strength has recovered a lot." ”

Before the sun set, I hurried down the hill and rode back to my original pharmacy.

"Shopkeeper, I'm back. ”

"It's good to come back alive. Did you get the herbs you wanted?"

"Well, you see. I took out a bunch of Bilian mountain grass from my bag and said, "I got it with great difficulty, and I was bitten by a snake during the fight." ”

"Snake bites? The shopkeeper looked at my wound for a moment and said, "It's a wonder, your wound is healing at an extraordinary rate." ”

I smiled.

"Then you can sleep here tonight, and set off tomorrow morning, what do you think?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. After I finished speaking, I went to the side room on the second floor with the shopkeeper.

After dinner, in the dead of night, the stars and the moon hang together in the night sky, which is so dazzling.

I sat alone at the head of the bed, with a rag in my hand, wiping the scabbard of my prayer. The world outside the window is so quiet and peaceful, giving people a sense of comfort.

"Xin'er, I don't know if you're okay?" I stopped wiping, and I couldn't help but feel nervous. It didn't take long for drowsiness to take over my consciousness.

"Brother Tianchen, look, Xin'er's illness has been cured. Wu Xin'er became lively again, and declared.

"yes, I see. I replied to the cute little girl with a smile.

As soon as the scene turned, Wu Xin'er fell into the seemingly bottomless sea of fire.

"Help me, help me, Brother Tianchen!" Wu Xin'er cried out.

"Xin'er, don't cry, I'll save you now!" I jumped and entered the sea of fire. The fire became more and more serious, like a wall of fire, ruthlessly blocking the retreat of the two of us.

"Brother Tianchen, it's so hot, it's so hot!" Wu Xin'er's clothes were wantonly burned by the flames.

"Xin'er!" I held out my hand impatiently.

I woke up from my bed to find myself in a fire.

The fire spread quickly, the whole house was full of black smoke, and the wooden pillars on the roof beams could not withstand the onslaught of the raging fire, and then turned into charcoal and fell to the ground.

"Damn, the cause of this fire is obviously man-made, and there must be someone behind the scenes. "I covered my mouth and nose with my hands, intending to leave quickly with my valuables.

Unexpectedly, the sudden collapse of the roof blocked the doorway. Faced with the onslaught of fire, I had no choice but to keep my body back, and before long leaned against the wall.

In desperation, I drew my prayer sword and slashed through the wooden window behind me, and decisively jumped out of the second floor.

"Ahem. "I fell the ground on the first floor, making a sound of pain.

"Danger!" the crowd on the street warned.

Multiple clusters of flames broke away from the second floor and slid vertically from above.

Crackle –

The scorching fire was torn apart by the blade of the sword and scattered to the ground.

I flipped a few backflips and got back into the crowd. The crowd was noisy and alarmed all the inhabitants of the area.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Too bad this fire could reach the neighbor's house. ”

"Arsonists are really sinister. ”

"This is a very heavy loss. ”

......

"Shopkeeper!" I put my hand to my mouth and made a call.

"I'm here, young man. "The shopkeeper seemed to hear my voice and reacted immediately, with a man and a woman supporting him.

"Shopkeeper, what the hell is going on?"

"It's them...... Three!" Chu Congjian said, "I saw those three bastards with my own eyes! I think there is no hope of collecting debts, so I plan to kill the killer?"

"From see, Hugh is talking nonsense!"

"Uncle. Chu Cong stomped his feet angrily and said, "I'm not talking nonsense! I'm telling the truth!"

"Yes, what he said is true. Chu Congjian's sister interjected, "Uncle, just believe him." Before the words fell, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy had a heart attack.

"Hurry, hurry!" Neighbors picked up buckets and went out, trying to extinguish the unusual fire.

The evil fire has not yet risen, and the hearts of the people are not afraid.

If you have manpower, it will eventually subside.

"Phew, thanks to all the fathers and fellow villagers, this fire can be regarded as quelling. One man stood in front of the group and announced.

It was because of the incitement of that man's words that the mood of the inhabitants became unstable again.

"Now we have to drag the culprit out of the arson case and hand it over to justice. ”

"Yes, that's right. ”

"That's right, escort to the yamen. ”

The conspiracy has just begun, I thought to myself.
