Chapter 30: The Terrible Snake and the Centipede
Jiang Liu was completely immersed in the wonderful artistic conception of martial arts, and he couldn't comprehend the subtlety of the moves before, but now he suddenly opened up, he suddenly talked to himself, suddenly punched and turned into palms, and then broke the roots and branches, and practiced the swordsmanship he had learned, and his martial arts moves unconsciously rose to a higher level.

He had no idea what was happening outside, but at last he awoke to find that the shrike was gone, the bonfire had long since been extinguished, the sun had risen in the sky, and the shadows of the trees were waving, and it was already noon.
The river was all over the mountains and found a shrike, and the shrike bird had already left, so naturally it could not be found, but it was finally a little rewarding, and a few hares were caught and returned.
Jiang Liu's injuries have not healed, and he does not plan to go out now, he has lived at the bottom of the valley for ten years, and the level of barbecue is also very high.
He rested for a while, and then according to what the shrike bird said, practicing the Tianxiang heart method, the internal force flowed along the meridians, and when it rushed through the dantian, it was slightly blocked, but it was no longer as stinging as before, in fact, this was thanks to the "condensing jade" true qi of the shrike bird, which not only helped him repair the damaged meridians, but also suppressed the snake venom in the depths of the dantian. He cycled like this several times, and slowly there was no obstacle in the dantian, only to feel that his body was extremely light, and the fatigue around his body was swept away.
Jiang Liu lived in the cave for a few days, and his injuries slowly healed, and in the past few days, he meditated on cultivating his internal strength, and his skills have improved a lot compared to when he came out of the valley.
The first thing he did was to find Wang Xiuyu and get back the Poison Sutra, the important thing was that there was a letter written by his father-in-law to Zhang Huiqin in the Poison Sutra. But where is Wang Xiuyu? Jiang Liu didn't know, he decided to try his luck at Juxian Villa.
The cave where the river is hiding is on a hill, with mountains to the east and hills to the south and west.
The forest and sea in the north are vast, but there are no high mountains and mountains, Jiang Liu decided to go north, and he walked more than ten miles in one breath before he got out of the forest. A few miles further, turning a mountain col, a large lake suddenly appeared in front of me, the surface of which was very large, and in the light of the setting sun, it was shining with gold.
The river was walking along the beach by the lake, and after walking a short time, he found a large snake. The snake was more than two feet long, and the snake's head was raised and its back was facing the river. Its body is as thick as a bowl, its neck has white patterns, its back is blue, its chest is ochre, its limbs are as colorful as brocade forging, and what is even more strange is that this snake actually has four legs.
The big snake heard a sound behind him, and the snake's head turned back, and its crystal eyes shot a cold light, staring at the river. Since Jiang Liu was bitten by abdominal insects, he has suffered from a serious "snake phobia syndrome", and was glared at by the big snake, although he was still a few feet away from the big snake, he couldn't help but take two steps back. Fortunately, the serpent quickly turned his head back and didn't frighten our protagonist's little heart.
Jiang Liu looked along the snake's head, and saw a centipede more than a foot long standing not far in front of the big snake. It has a reddish-brown body, a very thin body, no antennae, but many fewer feet than centipedes, only three pairs, and a pair of transparent wings on its back.
This "centipede" was calm, looking east and west, and seemed not to put the big snake in front of him in his eyes at all, but the big snake was like a great enemy, staring at it motionlessly, and even the river behind him had no time to take care of it.
Jiang Liu had never seen these two strange things, and when he was surprised, he saw a person walking in the distance, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was an old woman. The mother-in-law was hunched back, her white hair was fluffy, her face was covered with fine wrinkles, and she carried a white cloth bag in her hand.
Jiang Liu gave her mother-in-law a kind smile, and her mother-in-law glanced at Jiang Liu, did not speak, but made a gesture of silence.
At this time, the big snake and the "centipede" who were facing each other were finally about to fight. The big snake spits out its tongue and shakes in the air, making a hissing sound, and the "centipede" flutters its wings and flies, circling around the snake's head. The big snake's neck was straight, swaying back and forth, staring at the "centipede" without relaxing for a moment.
The "centipede" flew around a few times, the speed slowed down, the big snake saw the opportunity, suddenly pounced on the "centipede", swallowed the "centipede" with a big mouth, the "centipede" seemed to have no power to fight back, a little struggle, into the stomach of the big snake.
The battle ended in an instant, and Jiang Liu was slightly disappointed, he never expected this "centipede" to be so bad. He turned to look at the mother-in-law, her eyes fixed on the serpent's belly.
Jiang Liu just wanted to greet her, when she suddenly saw the big snake rolling on the beach, stirring the sand particles flying all over the sky, and then it suddenly jumped on all fours and plunged into the lake, the lake churned, and disappeared in an instant.
The old woman stared at the surface of the lake, and her right hand crept into her pocket, and she found a small fishing net, which was shining with gold, as if it were made of gold thread.
Jiang Liu didn't know what she meant, and secretly wondered. Suddenly, I heard a "bang", and something flew up in the lake, it was the "centipede", which was originally slender, but now it was swollen and fattened two or three times.
When the old woman saw the "centipede" jumping out of the lake, she immediately threw out the fishing net in her hand, which happened to be set on the "centipede", and then pulled hard, and the "centipede" was caught off guard and was suddenly dragged to the beach.
The "centipede" sucked the blood of the big snake, his eyes were red, his anger was abnormal, he jumped up suddenly, and a blood arrow sprayed at the mother-in-law's face, the mother-in-law avoided it in a thrilling way, and the second blood arrow followed, just in the right shoulder of the mother-in-law, she screamed and fell to the ground.
The "centipede" ran back and forth in the fishing net, trying to break the net, but the net was so strong that it could not break free no matter what. The "centipede" couldn't get out, and its scream was terrible, and suddenly it pounced on the mother-in-law who fell to the ground.
Jiang Liu secretly screamed that it was not good, this time she was going to pounce on her mother-in-law, she had no power to resist, how could she still live. With this in mind, his body immediately pounced, and in a moment, his palms were pushed out, hitting the head and neck of the "centipede", and the "centipede" flew back upside down. Jiang Liu was horrified in his heart, it turned out that this "centipede" was actually like copper cast iron, extremely hard, and one of his arms was almost broken, and he was sore.
The "centipede" was so angry that it targeted Jiang Liu, and before Jiang Liu could catch his breath, he pounced again. Jiang Liu didn't have a blade on his body, and he didn't dare to punch and punch, so he had to keep dodging, but fortunately, the "centipede" was trapped in the net and couldn't move, otherwise Jiang Liu would have been injured by him.
At the critical moment, the mother-in-law who fell to the ground woke up leisurely, grabbed a handful of medicinal powder from her waist with her left hand, and sprinkled it on the fishing net. The "centipede" seemed to be very afraid of this powder, and screamed in panic, and its body kept trembling. Jiang Liu took the opportunity to put away the fishing nets and tighten the "centipede", "the centipede" was trapped, and its fierce nature was stimulated, and it screamed, as if desperate, and rushed towards the river.
Before Jiang Liu could scream, he was pounced on by the "centipede". What's even more hateful is that one of the "centipede" kicked the acupoint of the river, making him completely immobile and crushed by the "centipede".
Looking at the bloody little face of the "centipede" in front of him, Jiang Liu closed his eyes in resignation and said in his heart: "My life is over!"
