Chapter 18 Snakes
But is it really quiet? Master has no expression on his face, he just smokes dry cigarettes attentively, as if the cigarette is so sweet that he can't leave it for a moment. And I can't figure out what kind of medicine or cigarettes Master sells in his gourd.
No different than dry smoke, it has burned to the end very quickly.
My face was calm, but I was actually a little anxious as I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand. After less than five seconds, I took out another cigarette and lit it.
"Hey, I'm quite addicted to smoking. Does this count as going against me?" The sinister voice of King Liu Sheng came from above our heads.
In fact, what I didn't explain is that he was like this all the way, and he seemed to be showing off his power to us. It's just that neither Master nor I picked up on his 'trouble', and he was 'honest', so he was quite boring.
.
He didn't explain it, just because he didn't care. Unexpectedly, he still looked a little unwilling, and started to bully people again in his words.
I wonder if it was because Master and I were going to defect to Yang Sheng that he naturally developed a sense of crisis. He was afraid that we would be reused, so he couldn't help but say a few words?
But this time, because I was anxious and had a reason to stay outside, I replied to him: "I'm addicted, is that okay?"
King Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and his face became gloomy again. Just as he was about to say something, a "rustling" sound came from the dense forest in the wilderness, and in the heat, there were also faint sounds.
The cool breeze, could it be that God sympathizes with my anxiety and allows a gust of wind to help me calm down?
But this was obviously not the case. In just three to five seconds, a series of exclamations came from the campsite.
King Liu Sheng realized something was wrong and suddenly turned around. I couldn't hold back my strong curiosity and stood up with a "huo" sound. Then I saw snakes. There were many snakes, but there were only two in this one.
The small camping ground in the tent was suddenly crowded with snakes that came from nowhere. I took a quick look and saw that there were at least thirty of them.
These snakes are not of a fixed species. I don't know much about snakes. Although I have had 'close contact' with some of the most terrifying ones, even those that turned into dragons, I can still only roughly tell them apart.
Venomous snakes, and non-venomous ones.
In short, the ones with round heads are not poisonous, and the ones with pointed heads are poisonous. With my little common sense, I could distinguish this at a glance. The rest, I just stared at them subconsciously.
"Holy shit, have we broken into a snake den?" One person couldn't help but curse loudly.
After all, you are a person in the circle of cultivators. Not to mention thirty or forty snakes, even twice as many snakes will not make people panic, especially these guys who are wrapped so tightly that they seem to be unusually mysterious.
Although they were a little flustered, they could 'squeeze' a snake to death with almost one move. Their movements were extremely fast, faster than the snakes that were attacking them crazily. Even if they were inevitably bitten, they didn't care at all.
Faced with such a situation, the first reaction of King Liu Sheng was to look at me and the master angrily, but I just looked over there curiously, and the master just glanced at it twice and continued to pump.
There are dozens of venomous snakes after all, so my master's reaction is within the normal range.
In short, there is nothing suspicious about us. We have been blocked from power, and we are even just smoking innocently, so what is there to be suspicious about?
Therefore, King Liu Sheng just looked at us like this, and the next moment he probably thought it was impossible, so he turned around and said to his subordinates: "It's just a snake, hurry up and get rid of it."
He probably wanted to get rid of them quickly, but before he finished speaking, more snakes emerged from the depths of the forest and grass. This time, they were no longer dozens, but all at once.
Hundreds of snakes spewed out, such a spectacular sight. I only saw that time in the shade place when I was a child. I still vaguely remember that it was the snake exorcists who drove away the group of snakes.
If there are so many snakes, I think we will be in danger. At least the cultivators are still mortal and cannot resist the bites of these snakes. My first reaction was to drag Master into the tent, while Master held a cigarette in his mouth.
, glanced at King Liu Sheng: "I understand Yang Sheng's temper. You are responsible for escorting us. I hope you can send us to the ground unscathed."
Then, the master stood up. It seemed that the dry smoke had burned to the end. He let me pull him into the tent. I couldn't figure out whether he was responsible for all this.
I just saw King Liu Sheng choked and speechless by my master's words. At this time, a small venomous snake rushed towards him from behind, but he did not turn around at all, but looked at it with some annoyance.
He looked at my master, then raised his hand casually, two fingers stretched out forcefully, as if something was clamped.
I saw strangely that the venomous snake was caught in the air. It struggled for less than a second before it went limp. King Liu Sheng withdrew his finger, and the snake fell to the ground with a 'snap'.
"It seems that you are quite capable, so you don't need to worry about me." The master said easily, and then he and I entered the tent. Of course, he did not forget to close the tent door firmly.
The master who was relaxed just now suddenly turned a little worried. He murmured to himself in a low voice: "He is stronger than I thought, and he is just a subordinate."
Who is he? I didn’t ask such a stupid question. It was obviously referring to King Liu Sheng. Three days ago, he once attacked me. That time shocked me, but it was just a shock. How could he use his hands to make nothing?
Attacking the human soul.
But just now, he probably wasn't showing off deliberately, it was just an unintentional move, but it really shocked me.
I don't really want to admit this feeling, because admitting that my enemy is very strong, the feeling brought by this pressure will be suffocating, but I have to face this reality. I think Master must feel the same way, right?
But the master just muttered something like this, and then took a newspaper that I had read when I was bored, and a bottle of mineral water that was thrown casually in the tent.
Then, he poured the hot dry cigarette ashes that had just been extinguished in the dry cigarette pot onto the newspaper, rolled the newspaper into a roller, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water, and carefully poured the dust into the mineral water bottle.
, tighten the lid again, shake vigorously and stir.
The water in the bottle quickly turned into a strange gray-white color under the master's manipulation. He took a closer look, then opened the bottle and poured the gray-white water on me.
with him.
When Master did everything, his hands and feet were very fast, and it was completed in less than a minute. During this process, I was very quiet until everything was done, and then Master breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice.
To: "No need for me to explain anything, right?"
"Is the problem in the dry tobacco?" I asked in a low voice.
The master didn't say anything. He took the dry tobacco pole and moved his fingers dexterously. I don't know what mechanism he touched. I discovered that there was a small space under the tobacco pot that could be popped out. There was also something inside.
Some yellowish-brown powder.
"Is this the powder?" I asked in surprise, and at the same time I was impressed by the exquisite design of this dry tobacco pole. The carved patterns on it also perfectly concealed this hidden little mechanism.
"The fun is coming later, let's start slowly." Master did not answer me specifically, but opened a small corner of the tent window. Fresh air came in, which relieved my heat, but at the same time, there was also a sound.
The unpleasant smell seems to be the fishy smell unique to snakes, and there is also a faint smell of blood. It should be the blood of snakes?
In addition to this, there was an increasingly intense "swirling" sound. Only then did I realize that this was not the sound made by the wind blowing the woods and weeds at all, but the sound made by the snakes in the mountain forest when they crawled.
's unique sound.
I was still wondering before, how could such a small wind cause such a strong reaction? However, when I thought about it, the crawling sound caused such a movement, how many snakes must there be?
Could it be that the bag of cigarettes that Master smoked attracted all the snakes in the forest?
There was a sound of heavy breathing outside. As the saying goes, if there are many ants, the elephant will be killed, not to mention the snakes all over the mountains and plains. But I also believe that Liu Shengwang and his party will not sit still and wait for death like this.
