Chapter 1 Badwater, Black Snake

That night, this was the place we came to after half a month after leaving Ma'an Village. The flat avenues, country roads, and winding and rugged mountain roads were all trampled by us. But today, at this moment, we completely lost our sense of direction. Although we knew that it would be right to walk forward, in this mountainous area, we were wandering around in the old woods, and after walking around, we returned to our original place.

After stopping again, I just figured out the situation around me. The old forest I was wandering around was in a valley basin and there was no way out. On the other side was a towering mountain. Bu Yique walked down from the mountain and stuck out his tongue helplessly and said, "I just looked at it. If I walked on the mountain road on this side, it would be difficult. If I crossed the mountain, it would be a bottomless canyon. Alas!"

The master looked at the slender path in the middle and said helplessly: "There is heavy moisture here, and there is a fishy smell that can be smelled from afar. And these fishy smells may not be a day or two, and have turned into miasma. If you walk this path, you will be afraid that there will be a bad water swamp in front of you!"

I have never seen what the swamp looks like, but when I see the Master's expression, I guess it won't be much better. I immediately asked, "Master, where should we go?"

The master smiled bitterly and said, "I can only go here, but you must be cautious when leaving. Well, you two will first break a few branches and use them to explore the way later."

Bu Yique and I looked at each other, and both nodded in agreement. When we arrived in front of the big tree, I hurriedly asked Bu Yique: "Yique, have you ever seen the swamp?"

Bu Yique smiled and grabbed the back of his head, saying, "I have heard of this. It is said that once a person enters the swamp, it is more difficult to deal with than an evil spirit. The more he thinks about it, the less he can't get out. Hehe, I heard that I have never seen him before when he grows up."

As he said that, Bu Yique climbed up the tree first. I looked down at the god card that my master had just made for me. I kept it carefully along the way, for fear of losing it accidentally, so I didn't argue with Bu Yique for the work of climbing the tree. After listening to Bu Yique's words, I secretly felt a chill in my heart. Is this swamp really that fierce?

Bu Yique threw down three thick and long branches, and then we both returned to the master excitedly. The master immediately ordered: "When I walk in a while, I will walk in front. You can follow my footprints and you will be fine, but you will be inquiring about the road conditions along the way to avoid any sudden situation!"

"Um!"

We both nodded in agreement. Only then did the master feel relieved. When he walked into this slender and narrow mountain road, he was immediately surrounded by a gray aura. The stars and moonlight in the sky could not illuminate the fog at all. Oh no! It was miasma!

Although there was not enough light to visit the road conditions, there was still a little hazy light. In addition, we each walked safely on branches. After about half an hour, the surrounding mountain walls gradually became steeper. However, this was only one side of our nearest, and the other side gradually relaxed a lot, and the gray atmosphere in the air became even more intense.

"Gudu~~"

Suddenly! A sound of water came from the branches in the master's hand. The three of us stopped immediately, and then heard the master say in surprise: "It's not a swamp, but it's also a small evil pool. Look at the appearance of this, there must be many creatures buried in it, walk along the edge of the mountain wall below, be careful!"

After my master staggered forward, I immediately found that the few stepping stones next to the mountain wall were not difficult to walk, and they were simply unable to walk. If you were not careful, you would leave it. Later, Bu Yique might have seen me standing still for a long time, and immediately urged, "Seventh day of the lunar month, why don't you leave?"

"Ah? Oh..." I hurriedly stopped looking at the bad water on that side, but carefully stepped on a small stone, supported the mountain wall with one hand, and then strode and stepped on the second, third... fourth...

I was sweating all the way, almost reaching a point of concentration and staring without squinting. I looked up at the figure of my master who was already walking far ahead, but it seemed that he was still staggeringly, which means that there were still a long and long hardships to go on this path.

"Oh! This... how can you go?!" I felt happy in my heart, and finally heard Bu Yique's unbearable voice coming from behind me. I turned my head and saw that Bu Yique's fat face was close to the mountain wall. His throat just now must have been injured by the sharp rocks. This guy ate more than anyone else. The dry food he took out in Ma'an Village had already been gone, and at least most of it was in his stomach. Now it's better, and it's more difficult to walk than anyone else.

I walked and said with a slight : "Who made you grow so much meat? When this hurdle passes, should you consider how to lose weight?"

Bu Yique was also interested and laughed and said, "Come on, I'm just asking me to cross mountains and rivers, but if I don't let me eat, it's better to kill me."

"Silk~~~"

I was about to speak, but suddenly I was shocked by a subtle and weird sound. I quickly turned my head to look at the dark evil pool. I took a breath of cold air. I saw a long thing as thick as a bucket slowly squirming in the water. After taking a closer look, I almost got scared away my souls and seven spirits. Then, that was nothing else, it was a big black and shiny snake with a huge round head spitting long letters. Isn’t the direction of the spitting right here?!

There was suddenly no sound of Bu Yique behind me, and I immediately asked tremblingly: "Yique? You...have you... seen it?!"

After a while, Bu Yique trembled in the same tone: "Look... what do you see?"

I turned my head and saw Bu Yique's two eyes staring at the big black snake without blinking, but his mouth was already grinning behind his head. Seeing me looking at him, he slowly turned his head to look at me. We looked at each other for a short time, and then shouted at the same time: "Run quickly--"

"Boom~~~bang!"

I was shocked and saw the big black snake sweeping its tail as thick as a bucket and swung over. Bu Yique squeezed his eyes and bowed and rushed away. Another sound of violent impact on the mountain wall came. Then, there was the gravel dust scattered like rain. The big black snake failed to hit the blow and immediately raised its head and rushed over. The huge body swayed back and forth in the evil pool for a while. The black fog was naturally the mist raised by the smelly black water. We didn't care about being disgusted and retching, and fled in a hurry under our feet!

Before I could look back, I could only feel a strong storm sweeping over and chasing closely. Accompanied by Bu Yique's repeated cry of pain, I guess that big fat face had a lot of close contact with the mountain wall. When I saw the figure of my master from afar, I hurriedly shouted: "Master is in front, it's almost over, run!"

Fortunately, I didn't step into the air, otherwise I would have been finished with one kick. My hard work of practicing ankle finally came in handy. I suddenly rushed up in the last few steps. Just as I stepped to the edge of the pool, my arm was grabbed by my master and pulled me up with force. At this time, I could finally look back at Bu Yique. I saw that Bu Yique was still about one meter away, and the big black snake behind him was getting closer and closer. The snake head... was already raised in the air, ready to pounce on it at any time!

At this moment, the master bent over and grabbed a stone and held it. His five fingers were closed together. He hurriedly said, "I would like to invite the Five Emperors and Five Thunder Gods of the Five Directions to shock the earth and fall into the mortal world. Each gate guards three thousand realms to avoid being burned by thunder and thunder. The thunder and hatred are busy. The five thunders turn into dust. The master is here to invite him now, and I hope that the five thunders will personally subdue the spirits!"

After chanting the mantra, the master shouted: "B Yique lay down!"

Before he finished speaking, the master raised his hand and sniffed at the fingers and stones, and then rushed out-

"Boom~~~"

The stone did not hit the big black snake, but hit the mountain wall next to the big black snake. A thunder suddenly sounded from the mountain wall. At the same time, Bu Yique had already bent over and hid under a oblique angle of the mountain wall, and half of his trouser legs had also stepped into the evil pool. Although the big black snake was not injured, it was obviously shocked by the explosion. The huge bucket body quickly shrank into the pool and retreated far aside until we could not see it.

At this time, Bu Yique finally exhaled and shouted loudly, crying at his father and mother, then ran up and squatted on the ground with his butt. Bu Yique looked down at his dirty trouser legs, looked at his two sleeves covered with dirt, and then started to hum slowly.

"Silk~~~b!"

At this moment, the big black snake that had already lurked into the pool suddenly rushed out of the water, and the huge snake tail was swung hard towards the mountain wall. The position where it was thrown was exactly where the master had just attacked. Is it losing my temper? I was speechless...

The master snorted angrily and said, "You are also practicing. If you don't change your evil nature, I'm afraid the great way will be slim. Let's go!"

After saying that, the master was the first to walk in front, and I supported Bu Yique and touched the greasy and smelly mud stained on Bu Yique's body. I immediately opened my mouth and retching, waved my hands and smiled, "Good brothers support you spiritually, let's leave this ghost place quickly."

Bu Yique wanted to say something, but after looking back, he immediately shook his legs and feet and rushed to chase the master in front. I was thrown behind, and a cool air swept across my back, and my whole body trembled, and I quickly chased after me.

This is a strange thing. When I was looking at the hillside just now, this area was obviously bare hills and narrow mountain paths. However, after walking out of this evil pool, there was a large black forest in front of me. I could not see the momentum at first glance, and it was farther and farther to the end of my sight. This made me wonder, even my master was surprised.

However, since I have already walked on this road, I still have to go on. According to the itinerary calculated by the master, I can see the mountains and rivers of the broken road in a few dozen miles, which means I can walk straight north. I touched it and even if I pass through this forest, I would have to be at least twenty or thirty miles away.

Before entering the woods, we stopped to rest for a while, and Bu Yique also took the opportunity to change into clean clothes. Although he was reluctant to throw away the dirty and smelly clothes, it was not a big deal to carry them like this. After all, we always had to eat along the way. It was a big deal to smell the stinky smell all the way. After repeatedly confirming that there was no water source around, Bu Yique had to throw away the pants helplessly.

After a short rest, the master took the lead in setting off. In the words of the master, you must pass through this woods tonight. The time I was delayed in Ma'an Village a few days ago must be closer on the way, otherwise even if you find Tongyao Town, you may not be able to find what we are looking for.

"Gugu~~~~"

There was something I always wanted to say but couldn't say. Now that I heard Master's stomach sing an empty city plan, I shouted with confidence: "Master, I'm hungry."

Bu Yique was casually accustomed to hunger when he heard this. The master smacked his dry mouth and said with some distress: "Yes, we haven't eaten seriously for several days. We will look along the way later. Try to walk around the sparse forests and near the valleys. Maybe we can find some wild fruits to satisfy our hunger. Let's walk like this for the time being."

"Huh?! Master Yang, look? Someone lives here! It's a village!" Bu Yique shouted inexplicably, pointing to a dark place in the distance and said excitedly.

I hurriedly glanced around and said, "Where is it?"
