Chapter 176 The Weird Tomb
Wu Zhongyuan used his light skills. Seeing that he was running fast, Hei Xiong knew that he had no hope of chasing him, he was soon discouraged and stopped chasing him after chasing him for dozens of meters.
The black bear stopped chasing, and Wu Zhongyuan did not slow down. It was getting late, so he had to return to Daqiu before dark.
As for hunting, let’s find a way back to the Daqiu realm. Let’s start looking now. Even if you catch it, you still have to work hard to carry it back.
Before the sun set, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the Daqiu realm. At this time, there were still people in the mountains, some who got nothing and were depressed, and some who were excited with their prey.
On the way, I heard two young men carrying goats talking excitedly, guessing that after returning to the city, which girl would come forward to pick up the prey in their hands and form a relationship with them.
After hearing the two of them talking, Wu Zhongyuan remembered that there was still this kind of thing. What if many women came around with their prey? He is now a warrior in Daqiu. You must know that being able to marry a warrior at this time is the ultimate dream of many girls.
If Wu Qin is present and he insists on not choosing from these women, will Wu Qin be suspicious? Will he make random matches?
No, I have to find a way to catch prey that can only make women retreat.
The first thing he thought of was a weasel. This thing was very savory, but after a flash of thought, it gave up. As a warrior in Daqiu, it seemed that it was not good to carry a weasel back.
Then I thought of making a heavy weight so that they couldn't handle it. But if I think about it carefully, it wouldn't work. What if they carried it together?
It is really hard to find a suitable goal. You have to show your might and let the women waiting outside the city retreat. What should you find?
After thinking hard for a long time, I suddenly had an idea. When I got it, I went to find a snake and a big one.
The Aryans' beast-seeking technique is not just telepathy, but also certain skills. There are certain rules for which animals like to stay wherever they like to stay. Snakes usually like to stay in places not far from the water source, and when hibernating, they like to stay in places with suitable dryness and humidity. The hibernation environment is too dry, and snakes will dehydrate and die during hibernation. If the hibernation place is too humid, it will freeze and freeze to death.
Abandoned cities are the first choice for snakes to hibernate. There are actually several similar places in the mountains and fields. Find the past, calm down and enter into meditation, and search for it in response.
Don’t underestimate the cultivation of the cave god. After becoming a cave god, his sensing range has increased significantly. He has indeed sensed the existence of snakes. There is another characteristic of snakes hibernation, that is, he likes to gather together, there are many small snakes, but there are few big snakes.
After finding several abandoned villages, he couldn't find the big snake. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wu Zhongyuan was a little anxious. This was his first time participating in a festival hunting. If he went back empty-handed, it would be embarrassing.
Fortunately, there is no way out. On the hillside east of this abandoned city, he sensed the existence of a suspected target. The target is located a few meters deep below a large soil bundle. Through perception, a big guy with hundreds of kilograms should be hidden below.
Most snakes themselves cannot dig holes, how can this guy drill so deep?
I was confused and looked at the surrounding situation again. Finally, I realized that there were many similar landblocks around. This place should be a tomb, and the place where the big snake hides is one of the tombs.
He didn't know which tribe the abandoned village was originally from, nor who was buried here, but no matter who was buried or which tribe they were from during their lifetime, it seemed that it was not good to dig someone's grave in order to catch a snake.
After hesitation, I began to search around the grave. There must be a hole leading to the grave around it, and it will usually be located in a relatively high terrain, because if the hole is too low, it will pour water into the grave when it rains.
Soon he found the entrance of the cave, right on the grave, located on the upper right side of the grave, hidden under a cluster of shrubs. The diameter of the cave entrance is seventy or eighty centimeters. It should have been excavated by animals such as badgers. If it were weasels and mountain rats, the entrance of the cave would not be so big.
I went to the entrance of the cave and smelled it. The smell was strong and pungent. For some reason, the soil on the entrance of the cave and the four walls of the cave was very dry, and the temperature inside was very high, which was a bit unreasonable. From the entrance of the cave, you could clearly feel that there was heat emitting outward.
Although the entrance of the cave is not small, it is still difficult to get in. If he takes a step back, he will not get in. The temperature in the grave is so high that it is very high. The big snake inside is probably awake at such a high temperature. What if it is halfway through, the big guy jumps up and gives him a bite.
Use smoke? No, I don’t know how big the space inside is. It’s snowing at this time, and hay is not easy to find. Moreover, the heat is going upwards. Even if the fire is on, the smoke will not be poured into it.
Digging it out is not possible. Not to mention that you don’t have any tools at hand, you can’t do that even if you have them, you can’t do it like that. Then you’ll be digging someone’s ancestral grave.
After pondering, I thought of a way to cut off a piece of fresh branch that was three meters long, took off the shoes on my right foot, tied them to a stick, then untied the rope, peed on the shoes, and dripped a little, and the rest of the urine was next to me. If I urinated all over the shoes, the shoes would be soaked and I would not be able to wear them for a while.
The underground space of this grave is larger than he thought. If a stick more than three meters long is stuck in it, it will not be able to see it at all, but you don’t have to insert it to the end. Snakes are very sensitive to smells. As long as they smell the smell and feel that the target is moving, they will take the initiative to attack.
The facts proved that his judgment was correct, and soon the prey bit the hook, and the huge force from the other end almost made the wooden stick in his hand lose his hand.
You can't confront it with it. If you let it go, it will be bad. You have to pull it up quickly. There must be a hundred pounds of this thing, otherwise you won't have such strength.
When he pulled up, he was mentally prepared to imagine this unseen snake as extremely terrifying as it had not yet appeared. In this way, even if it was really ugly and hideous, it would not be scared.
After pulling the stick out for two meters, he suddenly exerted force and grabbed the end of the stick and dragged it eastward. The big snake must have been dragged out, but he did not look back and kept pulling the stick eastward.
I don’t know if the big snake was stupid enough to let go, or if its teeth were inserted into the boots and couldn’t pull it out. In short, it didn’t let go. Wu Zhongyuan didn’t look back and just ran eastward, picking snow when he ran. In such a cold weather, this guy would soon freeze.
At first, the snake was struggling violently behind, but later the strength of the struggle gradually weakened and eventually disappeared, leaving only its own weight, and one hundred pounds must be more than one hundred pounds.
At this time, he had not turned around and ran to the edge of the woods west of the Great Hill. Then he looked back and was shocked. This guy was bigger than he thought, more than five meters long, with red scales on his body, triangular head, and a cluster of red crowns similar to a rooster cockscomb on it. This was not a python, but a poisonous snake.
At this time, the guy was already frozen. Wu Zhongyuan went over and took off his shoes and put them on. He wanted to drag them back, but kicked them a few times, but found that the cold was hard, so he simply carried them.
Although the sun has set, there are still many women standing outside the city gate, most of which are married women waiting for their husbands. There are still people in the mountains at this time, and he is not the latest to come back.
Seeing him approaching, the crowd began to get restless. When he was still dozens of meters away from the city gate, a group of women came to him.
Wu Zhongyuan glanced at him and was shocked. There was no one with good looks, all of them were crooked.
At this time, the sky was already dark. The wicked Gua Lizao only saw the light red cloak behind him. He didn't see clearly what he was carrying on his shoulders. When the distance was close, he finally saw clearly, screamed loudly, turned around and ran away.
The harsh screams made Wu Zhongyuan frown. It was said that ugly people were often used to make trouble, and this was not unreasonable. The ugly woman was, the more she liked to yell.
When they arrived at the city gate, they were also shocked by the married women and soldiers guarding the city. The venomous snakes were generally small in size, and they had never seen such a large venomous snake.
Some preys were caught by everyone, and there was a group of people responsible for recording. Not only were there people recording, but there were also special people responsible for shouting at the top of their voices. After shocking, the person in charge of publicity howled at the top of their voices, "The God of Zhongyuan Cave, a hundred-year-old red-crowned snake."
"Are you scolding me?" Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "You should add capturing, or capturing alive."
Reprimanded, the man hurriedly shouted, "Catch alive..."
"Shut up, stop shouting," Wu Zhongyuan threw the poisonous snake in front of everyone, "Be careful, you're not dead yet."
Aluo was also near the city gate, but she was standing next to the street in the city. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan throwing his prey down, she hurried over, took out a piece of rice cake from her arms and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan spread his hands and signaled that he had caught the poisonous snake and had not washed his hands. A Luo brought the rice cake to his mouth.
Wu Zhongyuan was also hungry, so he took a bite and smiled at Aluo.
Aluo also laughed.
At this time, the group of people responsible for receiving and recording prey were discussing whether this poisonous snake could be eaten. This red-crown snake is a highly venomous snake. Everyone avoids it on weekdays, so who would catch it and eat it?
Wu Zhongyuan looked around and didn't see Wu Qin, and he was relieved. However, even if Wu Qin was still here, he wouldn't force him to choose his wife, because the rest were so that's all.
He lives in the west area of the city. After going back to wash, he went to the city with Aluo. There was a large bonfire party tonight, which was located in the square outside the Warriors' Morning Hall.
When the two arrived, the square was already crowded. The situation was a bit like the open-air banquet for weddings in modern rural areas. There were dozens of large pots on the east and west sides of the square, with meat and rice stewed inside.
There are more than a dozen piles of firewood in the middle of the square, all of which are burnt-resistant hard wood, and dense cushions in other areas are placed. At this time, ordinary people cannot sit on stools and chairs, and can only sit on such flat cushions.
The Warriors had their own seat. In the north, when they arrived at De Square, Aluo went to the kitchen, and Wu Zhongyuan went north.
At this time, most of the warriors were already in their seats. When Wu Zhongyuan came over, Wu Qin, who was sitting in the main seat of the north, waved to him with a smile, "Zhongyuan, come and talk."
Wu Zhongyuan walked over quickly, raised his hand to salute, "Master Jushan."
"Have you ever chosen the woman you like?" Wu Qin seemed to be in a good mood.
Wu Zhongyuan was about to answer, but found that Wu Zhen and others sitting around him were smiling with deep meaning.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan stunned, Wu Dalie urged, "Master Jushan is asking you."
Wu Zhongyuan could only shake his head.
"Hahaha, maybe it's okay, I have my own arrangements." Wu Qin waved his hand and signaled him to return to his seat.
Wu Zhongyuan was confused and walked towards his seat, and after sitting down, he tilted his head to look at Wu Qin. At this time, Wu Qin was talking to Wu Zhen and others. Wu Dalie was in contact with him and smiled and winked at him.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't understand what Wu Dalie's look meant. When he found that the young warriors around him looked at him, he vaguely guessed what Wu Qin wanted to do. Although Wu Qin was only 35 years old this year, he had three children, two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter was eighteen years old this year, and the second daughter was sixteen. Judging from this attitude, Wu Qin might want to betroth one of the daughters to him...
