Cheng Dalei slapped his sword on the ship's railing, and the banging sound made everyone's scalp numb.
"The one who robs you now is the Toad King of Toad Village in Toad Island. Think about it carefully, do you want to eat wontons or flat noodles?"
"There are no bandits in Qinchuan..." Shopkeeper Lin said boldly, but immediately shut up when he caught Cheng Dalei's eyes.
"Now that I'm here, isn't it possible?" Cheng Dalei said: "It seems that you are going to eat flat noodles, okay, I will be the first to operate on you."
"No, no, I'll eat wontons."
After saying that, shopkeeper Lin couldn't wait to jump into the river. Then, under Cheng Dalei's coercion, all the men on the boat jumped in one by one.
"Now it is your turn?"
Cheng Dalei faced Ximen Chunchang. At this moment, Ximen Chunchang and the beautiful woman named Ping'er were the only ones left on the boat.
"I, I don't know how to swim."
"Then I'll treat you to some noodles..." Cheng Dalei came over with his sword in hand.
"no, do not want."
Ximen Chunchang shouted, turned over and jumped out of the boat. He saw only the surging river water, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He really didn't know how to swim.
Suddenly, Ximen Chunchang found that he had not fallen into the water, but was half-suspended in the air. Cheng Dalei caught him back on the boat with his big hand like a chicken.
"You, you won't kill me?" Ximen Chunchang.
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "No, it suddenly occurred to me that a person like you is more suitable as a meat ticket."
Ximen Chun was stunned for a moment, then Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Tied."
In an instant, the two of them were tied up like rice dumplings and thrown into the cabin.
"Master, the brothers have already made preparations on the island. As soon as the realgar arrives, we can take action." Liu Bei.
Cheng Dalei nodded: "Let's go!"
The boat sailed through the waves and had a smooth journey, and soon it was approaching Snake Island. No, it should be called Toad Island now.
The cargo ship docked at the shoal, and the brothers from Toad Village were all waiting at the shoal. Cheng Dalei had given instructions in advance not to allow them to enter the depths of the island easily. After all, the snakes entrenched on the island were beyond human power.
Cheng Dalei unloaded the realgar from the boat and had already prepared something to start the fire. Everyone bundled straw into clumps, wrapped it in realgar and lit it.
The pungent smell spread, everyone's faces were wrapped in wet cloths, and the poisonous snakes in the grass sprang out one after another, as if they sensed the signal of a natural disaster, and fled around.
The number of venomous snakes is not one by one, but layer by layer, just like the surging waves of snakes. The snake skin rubs against the ground and makes a rustling sound. Even these murderous gangsters feel that they are covered with poison at this time.
Goosebumps appeared in layers.
The action must be fast. If someone finds out, especially by Mo Mingmi of Qinchuan Pass, troops will be sent to encircle and suppress him. Therefore, Cheng Dalei must set up the first line of defense for the village before they get the news.
So it must be fast.
Cheng Dalei, Qin Man, Zhao Zilong, Zhang Fei, Gao Feibao and others were walking quickly at the front of the team. Occasionally, two venomous snakes rushing towards the team, but they were cut into two pieces by Cheng Dalei's sword.
After them, everyone smoked realgar smoke in their hands to drive away poisonous snakes in the grass. After that, some people sprinkled realgar into the soil to prevent the snakes from coming back.
The snakes panicked and chose their way, and most of them escaped into the water. Wherever everyone walked, it could be said that not a single snake was alive.
In one day, Cheng Dalei had almost fully investigated the topography of the island. The entire island was roughly in the shape of a gourd. The bottom of the gourd was closest to the shore, about five miles away. The rest of the island was surrounded by the surging river.
It's best if everyone enters the heart of the island. In front of them are several dilapidated buildings, a martial arts arena, a gathering hall... This should be the cottage abandoned by Mo Mingmi, and it is also covered with grass at this time.
"ah!"
When Guan Yu pushed open the dilapidated door of Juyi Hall, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. What kind of character is Guan Yu? God is great and I am second. He won't accept anyone except his eldest brother Liu Bei. He can make him scream.
What will happen again...
Cheng Dalei also walked over and only took a look inside. His whole body was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and the hand holding the sword was trembling.
There was a row of people standing in front of the gate. Everyone's expression was not much better than that of Cheng Dalei. Their knees were weak and they seemed about to fall down at any time.
There is a big snake coiled in the Juyi Hall. Calling it a snake is really an insult to it.
It is more than ten meters long and has a body as thick as a beam. What is even weirder is that it is completely white. The whiteness is like the phosphorus white of a stone that has been broken. Perhaps, it itself has been petrified.
At this time, it was coiled in the center of the Juyi Hall, and the faint light fell on it from the roof. It was a huge head, looking down at everyone, not like an animal, but like a wise man who had experienced all the vicissitudes of life.
"This is a dragon."
Someone let out an exclamation. To a certain extent, this was the thought of everyone present, including Cheng Dalei.
Yes, this is an era of cold weapons where everything is very primitive. Many species have become extinct in modern society. If we did not mention this era, some weird creatures would not exist.
Cheng Dalei's heart was pounding. He stretched out his hand behind him and said, "It smells good, it smells good..."
Everyone is preparing candles and incense cannons today. After all, you need to light firecrackers when moving, not to mention setting up camp today. Xu Shenji carefully handed the incense to Cheng Dalei. It could be seen that he was also very nervous.
Cheng Dalei lit the incense stick, put it on the ground, and muttered something.
"Lord Snake King, my brothers and I were forced by the government to have no home. We have no choice but to become bandits. We will rob the rich and give to the poor in order to do justice for God. I hope you can make some room for us."
After Cheng Dalei said this, he led his brothers to bow to the big snake three times.
In the first obeisance, the Snake King did not move.
During the second prostrations, the Snake King did not move.
On the third bow, the snake king moved.
It moved like an arrow off its string, and rushed towards Cheng Dalei at an extremely fast speed. Cheng Dalei was frightened to the point of losing his mind.
Boom!
At the critical moment, Guan Yu closed the door and blocked the big snake inside.
Cheng Dalei finally came to his senses and found that his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Axe, where's my axe!" Cheng Dalei yelled: "I've really given you shame. I've given you shameless things. I will kill you today."
The men looked at each other in confusion, all thinking the same thing: Can such a monster, or rather a divine object, really be killed?
When Cheng Dalei saw this scene, he raised his ax and shouted: "A real man should be in charge of the world, so why should you be afraid? Give it to me... do it for me."
The door burst open, revealing a huge snake head. Cheng Dalei rushed forward and used his two flying wings to avoid the attack of the big snake, while ordering others in the air.
"Retreat, all of you, retreat! Don't come here to die if you don't have the ability!"
With the speed of this big snake, it can destroy the house even if it throws the wall, not to mention the human body. Cheng Dalei relies on his agility to deal with this big snake, and other people who come up will only die.
