In such an uninhabited wilderness, the sudden sound of such a human wailing is terrifying.
Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun quickly drew their swords and entered a state of alert.
"Aqin Ashan, you go inside." Ji Xun said to Aqin Ashan who was sitting at the entrance of the cave.
"What's the sound? How scary?" Wei Muyan hurriedly hid behind Ji Xun, looking soft and weak.
"Don't be afraid, Yu Yu. My husband is here." Ji Xun ignored Wei Muyan at all. His tall body took a step forward and protected Shen Yu Yu behind him. He looked like he was willing to risk his life to block the sword. Wei Muyan Mu Yan felt jealousy in her heart and twisted the silk handkerchief fiercely.
A bonfire was lit in the cave, and the few people calling for help outside followed the light of the fire and ran toward the cave as if they were dying, and soon threw themselves into the cave in a state of embarrassment.
"Help, help!" The two men were disheveled and frightened.
"Who?" Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu immediately put the swords on their necks.
"I, we are villagers nearby." The accent sounded like a local.
The two of them shivered and shrank into the cave. Seeing Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun staring at them warily, they hurriedly explained.
"My name is Zhao Da, and his name is Qian Er. A few days ago, we were hired by someone to lead the way to Yunmengze to find a kind of orchid called the 'ghost flower.'"
"I never imagined that that place was extremely dangerous. I couldn't find any orchids, but most of the people died."
"Qian Er, I and the few remaining people had to return, but unexpectedly we were chased by two giant pythons."
"The two giant pythons are one to twenty feet long, their bodies are thicker than buckets, and their heads are bigger than washbasins.'
Zhao Dazheng was talking vividly, and at this moment, a huge head quietly poked into the cave. Its eyes were bigger than a copper bell, its hard scales glowed with a metallic luster, and it spit out a blood-red letter.
Seeing so much 'food' in the cave, the giant python shook its head excitedly, and smelly saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth, dripping on Zhao Da's face. When Zhao Da looked up, he fainted from fear.
The giant python had been chasing them for so long and was already starving. A giant tail rolled into the cave and was about to drag Zhao Da away.
Ji Xun swung his sword and cut off the tail of the giant python.
The giant python suddenly shrank back in pain. In the dark night, its two huge eyes shone with a faint cold light.
"Yu Yu, you guard the entrance of the cave, I'll go out and deal with them."
"Okay." Shen Yuyu responded and said to Qian Er, "Why don't you drag him in? Do you want to feed the snake?" After hearing this, Qian Er was frightened and came to his senses, and quickly dragged Zhao Da in. Inside the cave.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a violent storm outside, with lightning and thunder.
Occasionally, a strong bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and two huge pythons were seen fighting fiercely with a man outside the cave.
Shen Yuyu wanted to go up and help, but he was worried about the safety of the people inside the cave, so he could only silently stand at the entrance of the cave, trying his best to distinguish the figures of humans and snakes.
Electric light and sword light flashed in the night, and Shen Yu's heart rose in his throat.
If it were daytime, it would be easy to deal with the two pythons, but at night the snakes could be seen, but the human vision was blocked, making it difficult to use even the most advanced skills.
Fortunately, there were frequent lightning strikes, and Ji Xun quickly seized the opportunity to thrust his sword seven inches into one of the giant pythons.
The seven inches of snakes are where their hearts are. The giant python was stabbed in the vital part and kept rolling and thrashing on the ground. The smelly blood flowed everywhere and soon stopped moving.
When the other giant python saw that its companion was killed, it felt threatened and became more ferocious. It quickly entangled Ji Xun and opened its bloody mouth to swallow him.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down, catching sight of this terrifying dusk. Shen Yu's face changed drastically, and he rushed towards the giant python desperately.
"Axun, be careful.'
At this moment, the lightning had passed, and the world fell into endless darkness. Shen Yue suddenly lost the target of her attack, but she did not stop. When she thought that Ah Xun might have been swallowed by the python, she almost went crazy. She raised her sword and pounced towards the giant python. The place is a barrage of slashing and stabbing.
"Yu Yu, I'm fine." Ji Xun hugged her in the dark night, "I'm here. If I stab the giant python seven inches, it will die soon.
"It scared me to death. I thought you were swallowed by a python!" Shen Yuyu threw herself into Ji Xun's arms, broke down and cried, "It's good that you're okay. If something happens to you, I won't be able to survive. Woohoo~~!"
"Don't worry, your husband won't die so easily. Even if it's for Yu Yu, I will try my best to survive."
In the night, Ji Xun looked extremely moved, and his heart couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain.
He was full of ambitions and devoted himself to serving the country, but he was framed by the prince many times. He disfigured his face with a knife, dragged his broken leg and strange poisons to Mujia Village. At that time, he was filled with despair and lost all enthusiasm for the world. , waiting for death.
It was Yu Yu who was like a ray of light entering his heart, leading him out step by step.
He can't die, he has to live for the sake of his future! Their future hasn't even had time to begin yet!
"Yu Yu, don't cry. My husband will be fine." Ji Xun wiped the corners of her eyes and kissed her forehead, "Go into the cave, your clothes are all wet."
A heavy rain washed away the python blood on Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun, and they quickly returned to the cave.
I thought of a way to change into clean clothes in the cave, and then sat around the campfire.
Shen Yuyu lay on Ji Xun's lap, and Ji Xun took a handkerchief and twisted her wet hair gently, carefully and considerately.
Zhao Da and Qian Er, who narrowly escaped death, recovered after a long time.
Zhao Da looked at Ji Xun: "Master, where are you going?"
"Yun Mengze." Ji Xun replied calmly.
"Listen to me and don't go." Zhao Dazhi waved his hand, his eyes full of fear, "The swamp in this season is a hundred times more dangerous than in other seasons. It is the mating season of giant pythons, and the house is as big as rolling into a ball.'
"In addition, there has been a lot of rain this year, and there are bottomless swamp traps everywhere. If you accidentally step into them, you will definitely die."
"There are also giant crocodiles, poisonous insects~~even blood-sucking mosquitoes can kill you. It's too scary. Turn back quickly to avoid wasting your life."
"If it's so dangerous, why are you still going?" Shen Yue asked.
Zhao Da sighed helplessly, "My mother and the mother-in-law of Qian Er's family are all seriously ill~~ If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have accepted this job." As he spoke, Zhao Da pulled Qian Er and knelt down towards Ji Xun. "Thanks for meeting the young master and saving our lives. The young master is so kind and kind that I can't repay you."
"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning." Ji Xun pulled them up.
In order to repay Ji Xun's life-saving grace, Zhao Da and Qian Er earnestly advised them to turn back.
It is impossible for Ji Xun and the other two to retreat, and Wei Muyan has no intention of looking back. She is becoming more and more interested in Ji Xun.
He was extremely powerful when killing the giant python, but extremely gentle when twisting Shen Yu's hair.
There is a tiger in her heart that smells the roses. This is what she said to Ji Xun. She has always dreamed of getting such a husband.
It's a pity that Shen Yuyu took the opportunity to win his sincerity.
But she is a Gu Master, and there are plenty of opportunities for Ji Xun to fall in love with her.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yue asked Zhao Da Dao, "Are all those who hired you dead?"
"Originally, there were only three of them left." Zhao Daodao said, "But we alarmed a group of giant pythons who were having sex, and everyone split up and ran away~~ It must be in danger."
Talking for a while, Shen Yuyu leaned in Ji Xun's arms and fell asleep for a while, and then it was dawn.
It rained all night and stopped only at dawn.
After the rain stopped, everyone walked out of the cave and saw two giant pythons lying to the east and west outside the cave. They were one to twenty feet long and their trunks were thicker than buckets. It was obvious that Ji Xun could kill them in the dark. The strength of Kung Fu.
Seeing that Ji Xun was determined to go to the swamp, the two villagers took out all the bottles of anthelmintics they had with them and gave them to Ji Xun.
Ji Xun looked at the two giant pythons and said to Zhao and Da, "The gall bladders of these two pythons should be worth some money. You can carve them out and sell them so that you can treat your family members."
Qian Er, who had been silent all this time, hurriedly said: "Young Master saved our lives, and we have nothing to repay. How can we receive this favor again?"
Zhao Daye waved his hands repeatedly, "Yes, I don't know how valuable this snake gall is, but we can't have it."
"No matter how valuable it is, it's not as valuable as human life." Shen Yue smiled and said to them: "Besides, we don't have time to deal with this. It will be a waste if you don't take it."
After saying that, Shen Yuyu, Ji Xun and others got on their horses and headed forward.
Zhao Da and Qian Er knelt down behind them with red eyes, kowtowing repeatedly to thank them for meeting this noble person.
