Fortunately, the snakes circled the stone we were standing on and began to retreat in both directions.
I kept staring at the middle-aged man. He put his right hand on the bamboo basket, obviously wanting to do something.
There must be a trump card hidden in his bamboo basket.
However, he finally chose to give up.
I speculate that he recognized Miao Xiaobao and wanted to take action, but was very afraid and finally chose to retreat.
People who dare to release snakes in the mountains and raise them.
In addition to possessing unique skills.
They are relatively courageous.
The middle-aged man was afraid.
This shows that Miao Xiaobao is famous in this Miao Valley.
I glanced at Miao Xiaobao out of the corner of my eye.
He was indifferent and had no reaction at all to the group of snakes or the middle-aged man that appeared.
"For the sake of Mr. Miao, I won't argue with you."
"You were standing in the way of snakes and you didn't die because I controlled the snakes. Otherwise, you would all have died. Tens of thousands of snakes swarmed up, and no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape."
The middle-aged man said loudly and subconsciously touched the pimple on his face.
He is reminding us.
He controlled the snakes to retreat, allowing us to save our lives.
Likewise, if he doesn't control the snakes, we will be killed on the spot.
Since he expressed his intention to withdraw, I also bowed my hands: "The soul of Emperor Chiyou shines on the Miao border, and the five poisonous holy insects nourish the spirit Gu. I came here to collect gall grass, and had no intention of entering the snake path. The superior raised his noble hand, and the juniors shed tears of gratitude."
"
"My name is Ma Dalong, I don't know what to call my uncle!"
Digallica is a common medicinal material in the Miaoren Valley.
It is also common for herbal collectors to go out at night.
Out of caution, I gave a false name.
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "It's just a chance meeting, so you don't need to know my name. There are many venomous snakes in the mountains. If you want to save your life, leave here quickly."
He continued to blow the copper pipe, then took out a short whip and waved it vigorously, driving the snakes away and walked down the mountain.
"I have goosebumps all over the floor. There are so many snakes, it's really scary to death. After I survive, I will definitely leave here and I don't want to stay for a moment longer."
Guo Jiaoyang said.
I walked up to Miao Xiaobao and asked, "Do you know him?"
Miao Xiaobao just snorted a breath of corpse air from his nostrils.
Obviously, he doesn't like middle-aged men.
I turned the dead green bamboo leaves over and found that the snake scales were not too different, just relatively hard.
"No. This snake's body is contaminated with a small amount of corpse air. It may have been in contact with a certain corpse."
Chunya's eyes lit up, she cut open the snake's scales with a knife, and found some strange changes in the snake's body.
It was infected by corpse energy and its form changed.
"No wonder they take the initiative to attack people. Their temperament is completely changed by the influence of corpse Qi. It is possible that corpse Qi is distributed somewhere where they go into the mountains to look for food."
"It's most likely the third zombie's corpse."
Chun Ya said sincerely.
I couldn't help but feel happy and said: "Does that mean that we can track the third zombie through the traces of the snake group?"
Chunya frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Dongsheng, I always feel that something is wrong. If there is no better way, the way you said is a good one."
Guo Jiaoyang snorted coldly: "Doctor Dong, I advise you not to have this idea for the time being. The snake driver has bad intentions, so you should be careful. There is no reason to release snakes in the mountains in the middle of the night."
Bai Tiehu said: "Going out to let snakes look for food is not a job where you leave early and come back late. The shorter one takes three to five days, and the longer one takes ten days and a half. It is normal to drive snakes home in the middle of the night."
"The only thing worthy of attention is that this snake driver can drive thousands of snakes away and has a very high standard."
Bai Tiethu's forehead was also covered with beads of sweat.
He can control two or three thunder-spotted snakes, but tens of thousands are beyond his control.
Guo Jiaoyang sneered and replied directly to Bai Tiehu: "You have brains, but not much."
"You just reported Miao Old Snake's name without knowing the situation clearly. Judging from his expression, he and Miao Old Snake are not at odds with each other. You are exposing the information of a reliable friend in advance."
Bai Tiehu's eyes widened: "..."
Chun Ya eased the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two: "Miss Guo, what do you have in mind?"
Guo Jiaoyang continued: "Even if it's normal to release snakes in the middle of the night, I still think he has bad intentions. I could clearly feel through the gaps between my fingernails just now that he had murderous intentions. Just because he couldn't kill us. So, he finally activated
Snakes, protect yourself and get to a safe place."
This is exactly the same as my analysis.
For a moment, the middle-aged man planned to use the trump card in the bamboo basket.
"Although he retreated, he could not keep himself secret and had already begun to stare at us."
"So, we can't follow the snakes' traces in the opposite direction. Instead, we should go south, dig up the gallbladder grass, and look for medicinal herbs."
Guo Jiaoyang said.
I nodded: "That's the truth."
Bai Tiehu shouted: "Brother, what are we afraid of? Even if he keeps an eye on us, is it possible that one person can deal with so many of us?"
I said: "A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. If he recruits helpers, and each of ten people controls a snake worth ten thousand, can he still be able to deal with it?"
"..." Bai Tiehu was speechless again.
I also felt a little uneasy about this unexpected snake releaser.
His attitude towards Miao Laoshe and Miao Xiaobao, as well as the murderous intention that suddenly arose and was quickly concealed.
We come down from the stone.
We did not follow the direction of the snakes, but continued walking south, searching for herbs in the forest.
As expected.
I have a clear feeling.
In the dark, there is a strange aura following us.
As long as you turn around, you can see the snake's shadow flashing in a hidden place.
Some are silver light and shadow, and some are red aura.
"He is using snake poison to spy on us. And there are more than one. This man is indeed murderous."
I lowered my voice and said.
"You don't need to thank me. I'm afraid you owe me a favor."
Guo Jiaoyang said.
I smiled helplessly, and then said to the Snake Great Immortal: "Do you know much about the village of Miao Ren Valley? If you are asked to deliver a message to Miao Lao Snake, are you sure you can do it?"
I originally planned not to rush to find Mr. Miao.
But the current situation is that Xiao Qiu Kui and Gu Feichen have not shown up yet, and the mysterious and dangerous snake herder has made everything confusing.
It would be better to meet Mr. Miao in advance.
"Master, I have only been to the area and never entered the village. They dare to raise so many snakes, which shows that they can deal with snakes. If I go to deliver the message, it will be like a moth flying into the flame. It will never come back. It will delay the master's plan.
.”
Snake Great Immortal said frankly.
I can't help but feel a little confused.
Suddenly, a burst of white mist suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. In an instant, it blocked the bright moonlight.
I can't see my fingers.
The surroundings became deserted.
I shouted: "Everyone, be careful. Stay together."
The black dog started barking and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Miao Xiaobao suddenly shouted, and a wave of air spread out.
The white mist dissipated.
I looked down and saw three big pythons lying on the ground.
