Chapter 12 The King of Vipers(2/2)
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Yang Ji shook his head, laughed secretly at himself for being suspicious, picked up the rabbit on the ground and turned around to leave.
In the next few days, Yang Ji would go into the mountains every day to practice "Tiger and Leopard Thunder" and hunt at the same time.
His hunting skills became more and more refined, and he brought back more and more prey, which was no longer limited to small animals such as rabbits, deer, and wild badgers, but also included large animals such as foxes, minks, and even wolves.
After all the prey was decontaminated, the fur was stored by Yang Ji. After the accumulation reached a certain level, it would be sold in the market.
As for the remaining meat, Yang Ji gave it to the old housekeeper to handle, preparing to dry it and make it into food for the winter.
…
"howl!"
A white fox suddenly wailed, its limbs stretched out, and its body shivered. A long arrow from behind was incredibly shot from the eye socket, pierced through the lower jaw, and was firmly nailed to the ground.
This arrow preserves the integrity of the fur to the greatest extent, showing superb archery skills.
"What's going on? Here again?"
From behind, Yang Ji rushed over from the woods, slowed down, frowned and looked at the white fox on the ground with confusion.
He has encountered this situation several times while hunting in the mountains these past few days. The prey ran away in a hurry, but once they reached this area, they seemed to have been greatly frightened and immediately stopped and remained motionless.
Once can be said to be accidental, but twice and three times cannot be explained so simply.
"Is there something weird here?"
Yang Ji frowned and looked forward.
He could clearly see the white fox just now, and its trembling movements clearly indicated extreme fear.
Yang Ji subconsciously wondered if there was any powerful beast in front of him. Only when he encountered a beast that was more powerful than him would the fox be frightened like this. But soon, Yang Ji shook his head again.
If there was really a ferocious beast hiding there, it would have jumped out and eaten these rabbits and foxes long ago without any movement. After all, ferocious beasts are not philanthropists.
"Go in and have a look."
Yang Ji still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. He carried the bow on his back and carried the prey, and walked in carefully.
After passing dozens of feet, there is a cliff. The cliff is not high. Further forward, there is a depression, which is very common in deep mountains. There are deep vegetation inside, and a few large bare rocks are exposed on the surface. Others
Then there is nothing more.
"Strange, there is nothing at all!"
Yang Ji stood on the cliff with a surprised look on his face. From his position, he had a clear view of what was under the cliff, and there was nothing special at all.
If there really is any ferocious beast, it cannot be hidden in this depressed area.
"Go in and have a look."
Yang Ji had no clue, so he simply found a low place and slid down.
"His!"
Suddenly, without warning, a sharp sound came into his ears, which frightened Yang Ji so much that he staggered back and almost hit the cliff behind him with his back.
"what?"
Yang Ji was shocked and felt a sense of terror.
He asked himself whether he was a timid person, and he had never been afraid when facing the eldest lady and several clan elders. But just for a moment, he couldn't help but feel an extremely dangerous and trembling feeling, as if he was about to be fatally attacked.
.
However, the expected attack did not come, and there was silence all around.
It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like extremely long centuries had passed. Yang Ji quickly calmed down, raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
There was nothing in front of me, except for the roaring grass and a huge exposed rock. There were no terrifying "ferocious beasts" around.
However, when Yang Ji glanced at the bottom of the rock, he couldn't help but feel shocked and gasped.
Hiss!
"Crowned snake!..."
Yang Ji was in a trance and almost murmured the name in his sleep.
It was a small black snake, pinned down by a rock, with its body raised and staring at him fiercely. When he saw the crown sarcoma protruding on its forehead, Yang Ji recognized it almost immediately.
its identity.
Crowned snake!
The prey that Lu Ling pursued so hard and almost lost his life - the King of Poisonous Snakes, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Snakes!
