Chapter 59: The Serpent's Scales
The gray valley, the former splendor has been obscured by a thick white mist, can only wait for the sun to perform a grand opening ceremony for it, I am afraid to regain the style of the past!
The silent surface of the lake, filled with a gauzy mist, is white, and you can't see the edge of the lake, but a series of bubbles appear from time to time at the bottom of the water, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts and dare not step forward lightly.
If you don't look closely, no one will see that there are several gray corpses floating on the water, let alone that just now, a huge and earth-shattering battle broke out here.
"One, three, seven...... Eighteen freshwater gray crocodiles!Well, it's a big deal" Xiao He counted them and put them into the ring one by one, his face was full of joy.
"Big brother, I'm fine here, look, I've got a lot!" As she spoke, the girl raised the Phantom Spirit Root in her hand, looking very excited.
"Xiaoli, it's good! Pick some more, I'll give it to me later, it's useful!"
"Good"
In a short time, both of them returned with a full load, and went ashore one after another, and returned to the clearing of the primeval forest, where a fire was raised and crocodile meat roasted.
In the past, all the meat I ate was terrestrial soul beasts, but this time it was aquatic, and even Xiao He was the first time, and he obviously had some expectations, so he quickly added the grill, and he was busy before and after, but he was also happy to do it.
More than an hour later, the crocodile and silver wolf barbecue meat with all the color and flavor were already placed in front of the big snake, and at the same time, Xiao He also handed a large piece to the girl.
Seeing this, Xiao He also smiled and said:
"You two slow down, there is more, make sure you are full, and then bake it when you are gone~"
"Big brother, your roasted meat is so delicious! I really want to eat it every day!" said the little girl, wiping the fat from her mouth, and then continued to eat violently.
"Hiss~" The big snake also agreed, burying his head and continuing to enjoy the food.
"Haha, this can't be done, my brother still has something to do, but it's a pity that I can't stay by your side all the time!" Xiao He also took a bite of meat, shook his head, and said with a smile.
"Okay, but I'll come back to you later!
"Well, that's fine, no problem!"
"Hiss~"
"Brother Snake, do you want to do it too, okay, even if you come, but Brother Snake, you have too much appetite, so you have to bring your own ingredients, otherwise I don't know where to get you so much meat, haha" Xiao He looked at the huge body of the big snake, so he joked.
As soon as the big snake heard this, he was not happy, and grinned with a sullen face, indicating that it was very unfair.
At this moment, Xiao He also stood up, patted the head of the big snake, and said sincerely:
"Haha, Brother Snake is really still Brother Snake, teasing you. Don't worry, you are my good brother in this life, as long as you are willing to come, I will definitely go hunting, good entertainment, and you are satisfied!"
"Hiss~"
When the big snake heard Xiao He say this, the big eyes of the round bones turned, and crystal snake tears oozed out, it was moved, and the scarlet snake letter was caught off guard and licked Xiao He's face a few times, and his face was full of oil!
"Brother Snake, you~ don't play like this, it's okay~"
"Hee-hee, Brother Snake, the big brother's right cheek is not oiled~" The girl applauded and laughed on the side.
"Xiaoli, when did the two of you join forces to frame me~ Oops, don't come to Brother Snake~"
"Hiss~"
......
Time always flies, especially when you enjoy it, maybe in that moment, it becomes a nostalgic taste.
After a full meal, the two and a snake are about to set off, leaving this gorgeous and colorful valley and returning to human society, perhaps facing a profound parting.
"Xiaoli, are you sure you're going this way? That's right" The deeper Xiao He felt, the more weird his aura became, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Well, that's right, that's the direction!" the girl nodded, very sure.
"Okay, I admire how you got here in the first place, even I'm afraid here!" Xiao He couldn't help but admire.
"Hehe, I don't know, I didn't think about anything at the beginning, I just wanted to save my grandmother, so I came out again by mistake and entered the valley, but I was targeted by a hungry wolf" The girl's appearance is obviously a little tangled.
"Well, pretty lucky"
"Hee-hee ~ I think too"
After the girl finished speaking, she continued to guide the way in front, and there were no soul beasts out to invade along the way, although they all wanted to taste the taste of human flesh, but when they saw a giant snake bodyguard escorting, they could only watch and did not dare to approach easily.
The three-hour journey was completed in a blink of an eye, and the trees in front of me began to grow a lot shorter, indicating that they were about to get out of the primeval forest boundary.
The encounter is so embarrassing, the acquaintance is so far-fetched, the parting is always so sad, and some words are difficult to say.
Memories are always so kind, Xiao He just stepped into this primeval forest, and the first soul beast he encountered was this big snake, and he almost fell into a big meal in its mouth.
However, he never even dreamed that now his relationship with the big snake had become so cordial, even difficult to give up, and there was a kind of bond that was difficult to let go.
Xiao He thought that after leaving this primeval forest, the big snake would leave on its own, and it was difficult for him to say goodbye, but he didn't expect it to follow all the time, which made his heart become heavier and heavier.
Finally, the young man who was walking in front stopped, turned to look at the big snake behind him, endured the sadness in his heart, pretended to smile, and said:
"Brother Snake, shouldn't you go back too?
When the serpent heard this, he was stunned, pretended not to hear, and turned his head to the side.
However, Xiao He quietly walked up to it, stared at its big eyes, and continued:
"Thank you, Brother Snake, these days with you have been really good, I will always remember it. But it's time for us to part, I have something I have to do, I can't continue to accompany you, if there is a fate, we will meet again, goodbye. ”
"Tick"
Before Xiao He finished speaking, the huge crystal tears in the eyes of the big snake began to drip down, but he didn't look at him or move.
"Hey, Brother Snake, I'm leaving, take care......"
Then, Xiao He also sighed sadly, and then walked towards the girl, asking her to continue to lead the way, and the two walked together.
"Hiss~"
At this moment, the serpent quietly continued to follow.
It's just that as soon as Xiao He stopped and looked back, it turned its head to the side again, pretending to ignore him.
Stop-and-go, Xiao He was also helpless, and scolded directly:
"You skin snake, when are you going to follow me?~ I warn you not to follow me anymore!
"Big brother, are we too cruel to Brother Snake, in fact, I am also a little reluctant" The little girl looked at the pitiful appearance of the big snake, and suddenly felt distressed.
"Let's go, Xiaoli, don't you still want to save your grandma?
"Oh~"
After saying that, the girl continued to lead the way, but from time to time she looked back at the serpent, but she did not go back.
"Hiss~"
......
The big snake looked at the figures of the two of them in the distance, and suddenly became anxious, and kept calling, but Xiao He never looked at it again.
I followed up a few times, but I hesitated to stop, and finally I could only stand stupidly in place, staring intently at Xiao He's distant back.
Finally, Xiao He's figure disappeared behind a hillside and could no longer be seen, and the big snake came back to his senses, and suddenly he was also extremely sad, and chased after him desperately.
As soon as the head of the big snake poked into the back of the hillside, he saw Xiao He Qingxiu's face, and said with a smile:
"Brother Snake, I knew you would follow, otherwise, you go back to the forest and wait first, I will go to treat her grandmother with Xiaoli, and when I am free at night, I will come over and give you a barbecue?
Seeing Xiao He say this, the big snake also lowered his head silently, looking very lost.
Before the big snake could react, Xiao He went up and gave it a big hug, and continued:
"Brother Snake, you just wait here first, it's not good for you to follow the past, I'll come over at night to get you something to eat, okay? I should go, otherwise Xiaoli will wait too long."
It's just that the big snake is still silent, Xiao He patted its head gently, had to wave goodbye to it, and then turned around.
"Hiss~"
Just when Xiao He walked out of a distance of ten meters, the big snake actually followed again, Xiao He also realized it, and when he turned around to persuade it to leave, he suddenly saw a golden light flashing on the big snake's forehead, and a scale that emitted golden light slowly appeared, and finally floated in front of him.
"What is this?" Xiao He saw this, and suddenly became puzzled and asked.
"Hiss~"
I saw the big snake nodding lightly to Xiao He, signaling him to take it, Xiao He understood, and just when he touched the scales with his hand, the golden light flashed again, and it was imprinted into his eyebrows and disappeared.
"Hmm, what's going on, why is it gone?" Xiao He was also confused, and was shocked by this scene.
Before Xiao He could come back to his senses, the big snake had already turned around silently, walked in the direction of the primeval forest again, and disappeared from his sight, leaving him alone in place, stupid and unmoving.
"Big brother, are you alright?" the girl asked as she walked up to him, tugged at his sleeve, and tugged at his sleeve.
"Oh, oh~ Okay! Let's go!"
Xiao He reacted at this time, and he could no longer see the huge figure of the big snake in front of him, so he silently turned around and left, heading to the small village in the distance.
An hour later, in the gorgeous valley, a woman in Tsing Yi floated above a huge lake out of thin air, and behind her stood an old man with a lovely face.
Then the woman spoke, and said:
"Elder White-eyebrow, did you see everything just now?"
"Young patriarch, you're talking about that human boy, right? I didn't expect you to even give this kid your own natal scales, hey, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the patriarch when you go back!" the old man stroked his gray beard and said worriedly.
"Elder Baimei, you just need to help me keep it secret, you don't have to worry about anything else, my father and mother will explain it well!"
"Plop~"
After the woman finished speaking, she directly turned into a white snake, it was the big snake, and I saw it plunge into the lake, like a swimming dragon, swimming into the black hole at the bottom of the lake.
"Hey~ Young patriarch, why do you bother? If the patriarch blames, how can you protect his integrity~ It's difficult" The old man looked at the back of the lake cruising, shook his head, and said.
After saying that, the old man also turned into a giant snake and swam towards the bottom of the lake......
