Not far outside Xiangyang City, there are wooden houses built randomly in twos and threes. At this moment, smoke is rising from many roofs.
Dongzhang came all the way to one of the doors. When he saw the couch in front of the door, there were neatly piled firewood. When he saw the open door, Dongzhang asked aloud: "Is there anyone there?"
After waiting for a while, there was no response. When Dong Zhang wanted to ask a second time, a feeble voice came from the room: "Who are you looking for?"
An old man with a very serious hunchback walked out shakily, looked directly at Dongzhang with a pair of cloudy eyes and said: "Everyone in the family has gone to the city to go out to the stalls, and only the old man is left at home. What do you want, sir?"
After saying that, he coughed violently and kept coughing. His body was really in bad shape visible to the naked eye.
Dong Zhang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point and asked: "Old Zhang, do you know anyone around here who is familiar with the terrain and valley here?"
"Oh? I wonder if the young master wants to..." The terminally ill old man was a little dumbfounded.
After looking at the old man, Dongzhang changed his explanation: "Maybe you know which valley has a lot of venomous snakes?"
The old man pondered for a moment and then said: "The people who live here are all poor people. Every household has traveled to the mountains. If we are familiar with the valleys nearby, every family is familiar with them. I also ran to the mountains when I was young.
Since I am quite familiar with this area, you can ask me what you are looking for."
"That's a good relationship. I wonder if there is a valley with a lot of venomous snakes nearby? Or... there are some large raptors." Dongzhang's eyes lit up and he asked quickly, almost asking you if you have seen that eagle.
.
"There are many poisonous snakes..."
The old man hunched over and fell into a brief memory, and Dongzhang naturally would not disturb him, but just stood there quietly and waited quietly.
"Yes, go west for more than twenty miles from here. There is a valley with lush vegetation. There are many snakes and scorpions in that valley every day. If you go, you'd better prepare some snake repellents and...
..”
"There were not only snakes there, but I also happened to see a big eagle when I was young. Its terrifying size almost scared me to death. It was so scary." The old man recalled the eagle.
Diao is still a little scared.
But Dongzhang was happy when he heard this. Isn't this the big eagle? It's impossible that it hasn't been touched by anyone with such a big body. It will be easier to handle if you have the direction. Dongzhang
He smiled and threw a few coins to the old man: "Thank you."
Then he turned around and walked in the direction the old man said.
"Sir! You must prepare to drive away the snakes!" the old man shouted anxiously to Dong Zhang's back.
"I know." Dongzhang waved his hand to the old man with his back turned, and soon disappeared from the old man's sight.
"Hey, why didn't you listen to the advice?" The old man stared at the direction Dongzhang left, shook his head, and walked straight back into the house.
With the direction in hand, Dongzhang naturally went straight to the topic, but he didn't pay much attention to the poisonous snake.
Dong Zhang, who spread his body skills and hurried on, was very fast. In just half a cup of tea, Dong Zhang had already run for more than 20 miles. He came to a valley without blushing or out of breath. He looked at the people in front of the valley.
A large area of lush vegetation, Dongzhang thought to himself: This should be the Snake Valley the old man mentioned.
He took out the long sword from his waist and chopped down the vegetation blocking the road one by one. Dongzhang stepped into the valley. It was obviously a sunny day, but as soon as he entered the valley, the light dropped by more than three or four levels.
, it suddenly became a lot darker.
Looking up at the big tree that was full of life and covering the sky, Dongzhang muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it that such a dark place is where snakes like to be?"
The ground in the valley was covered with leaves that were as thick as the feet. As soon as one stepped on them, he immediately sank in. He immediately became a little shorter. Dongzhang just walked deeper into the valley, one foot deeper and the other shallower.
go.
Aren't there a lot of snakes? Why didn't I encounter even a single snake along the way?
Dongzhang continued to walk deeper into the valley with doubts. He didn't know whether it was because he had the attribute of a crow's mouth or something else. As soon as this thought arose, reality soon came true.
No, as soon as Dongzhang stepped on the pile of leaves, a green shadow pierced Dongzhang's foot under the cover of the leaves. His eyes narrowed slightly, the long sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and one was chopped off.
The two-part green snake fell straight to the ground.
Looking carefully at the ground, I saw a small green snake two fingers wide. I don't know what kind it is and whether it is very venomous, but one thing is for sure. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find this snake.
The dead branches and leaves on the ground are their natural protective color.
Dongzhang didn't let him ponder for long. At this time, there were sudden bursts of intensive brushing sounds in the valley. Dongzhang's ears twitched and he was sure that it was not the rustling of leaves caused by the wind, but the sound of some kind of animal. In the Snake Valley,
What other creature could there be? It must be a snake.
At this moment, green shadows surged out from all directions of Dongzhang, and they were quickly approaching Dongzhang, twisting their waists, tusk, tut, tut, even though Dongzhang himself did not have trypophobia.
But when Leng Buding saw dozens or hundreds of snakes wandering towards him, Dongzhang still felt a little numb. Snakes are probably not liked by many people. They would feel conflicted if they saw them, let alone with them.
'Getting along' face to face.
Seeing this scene, Dongzhang without saying a word, swept away all the thick leaves and dead branches within the area around him. He held the sword in his right hand and danced an airtight circle around him.
Sword net, many snakes have been cut off inexplicably when they get close to the east Zhang Zhang Xu land.
But after the group that just died, a new group appeared. They are really cold-blooded animals. They are not afraid of death. This is not over yet. The snake shadows are not only in all directions in Dongzhang, but also venomous snakes appear on the top of their heads.
It fell on Dong Zhang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is really endless. With a wave of Dongzhang's long sword, he took the trouble to swing away the snake shadows around him, and then the long sword plunged straight into the ground and howled wildly!
Buzz buzz!!
Sound waves invisible to the naked eye swayed around in circles, instantly startling many birds and animals in the forest, and this snake was naturally no exception. Those who couldn't bear it turned around and fled, and those who could.
, have all fallen to the ground unconscious.
In just a quarter of an hour, there were no snakes around Dongzhang that could still move around. The ground was filled with some snakes that had been chopped into two pieces, and there was no other snake around.
He clapped his hands with satisfaction and Dongzhang sheathed his sword.
The original article says that Dugu Qiufei's sword tomb is on a very high platform, but the most indispensable thing among the mountains and deep valleys is a high platform. Don't you have to climb up one by one to see it?
And the divine eagle usually feeds on snake gallbladders, so it should be found in places with many snakes, but I have traveled all over the Snake Valley, not to mention the eagles, and I can't even see a single bird.
The days flew by, and five days passed so quietly. On a certain mountain peak near Snake Valley, Dong Zhang was sitting on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain. His legs were dangling in the air, and those who didn't know thought he was
I'm sitting on the seesaw.
His eyes were fixed on the Snake Valley below. The sharp mountain wind blew Dong Zhang's hair flying all over the sky. He had been wandering around this valley for five days and nights. He had seen Snake before.
There are quite a few, big and small, fat and thin, male and female, all of them are there, but the shadow of the eagle has never been seen.
Could it be that he was too conspicuous? Did he frighten the divine eagle away? Or was he simply looking in the wrong place?
Just as Dongzhang secretly asked himself three questions in a row, a strange voice came to Dongzhang's ears along the mountain wind, Gu Gu Gu Gu!
Um?
Dong Zhang, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff, had a sudden expression on his face. He turned his head suddenly and rushed towards the source of the sound. He saw a huge black figure in the valley on the side quickly passing through the forest, and he couldn't help but make a cooing sound in his mouth.
the sound of.
There was a burst of surprise in my heart, you finally appeared, Da Diao...
