After putting away the rattling arrows, everyone formed groups of two or three and began to act separately.
I still got together with Shao Zilong, and after everyone else had left, I set off unsteadily.
"You said that Haitang is a glutton for life, are you true or false?" Shao Zilong asked.
"Do you believe this?" I looked at him.
"I knew you must have made it up casually. I've never heard of Taotie Fate." Shao Zilong looked like he had known it for a long time.
I looked at the surrounding environment and said, "There is no such thing as Taotie Fate, but other than that, it's all true."
Shao Zilong stared at me and said nothing for a long time.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing!" Shao Zilong rushed forward. After walking for a while, he turned back and asked, "Are you saying that the little girl really has a rebound aura?"
"What rebound halo?" I was a little confused.
"It's not what you said. If someone has bad intentions and wants to harm her, she will be unlucky. Isn't this just rebounding the halo?" Shao Zilong said angrily.
I couldn't help but laugh, "If you want to say that, it's more or less the same."
"Is this really true?" Shao Zilong stared at me doubtfully for a while and muttered, "If I had known, I would have learned some numerology, but this thing is too confusing."
We talked as we walked, and talked about things in Shimen Village for a while, but it was very peaceful along the way. Except for the chirping of birds and insects in the forest, we didn't even encounter a pheasant or hare.
"It's true what you said about Xiao Cao. When he heard that the beautiful lady Shen came to the mountains, he quickly called us over. He's just a licker." Shao Zilong shook his head.
"You called him Xiao Cao?" I laughed.
"Doesn't he have a brother? His brother is Da Cao and he is Xiao Cao. How appropriate." Shao Zilong said.
"Very good." I nodded.
Shao Zilong scratched his head and said, "But it's best not to let us hit that thing."
I asked why.
"This is so easy to understand. If we are unlucky enough to run into each other, do you think it would be better for me to take action or not to take action?" Shao Zilong looked embarrassed, "If you want to take action, then you have to disobey my old man. The rules you set for me.”
"It's okay. If you don't want the generous gift from the Cao family, why don't you just end it? I'll get your share for you," I comforted.
"That won't work!" Shao Zilong's eyes flashed with gold, "Brother Cao must get the generous gift from the Cao family!"
Perhaps Shao Zilong's prayer had an effect, but until it got dark, we both found nothing.
We didn't hear the sound of arrows rising into the sky, which means that others are similar to us and their efforts are in vain.
"Xiao Cao is just messing around. Maybe that thing didn't run into Qinglong Mountain at all." Shao Zilong complained.
"Isn't this what you want?" I said.
"That's true." Shao Zilong laughed and said, "It's best if everyone stays calm and goes back to get the generous gifts."
As soon as he said these words, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from not far away, making a "pop" sound in mid-air.
"Sounding arrow!"
We were both taken aback, hurriedly identified the direction, and rushed towards the place where the sounding arrow took off.
The place happened to be not far from us, and we quickly arrived nearby.
Only the smell of blood drifted over with the wind.
The two of us immediately chased after them. After a while, we saw two people lying in front of us. The ground and the surrounding grass were stained with blood.
"How are you?"
We quickly looked around and rushed over to turn the two people over.
These two people were members of our group. One had a broken arm, one had a broken femur, and there were also multiple fractures in the chest and under the ribs.
There were countless other flesh wounds.
However, although the appearance looked miserable, fortunately there were no fatal injuries.
Shao Zilong and I quickly treated their injuries.
Judging from the traces at the scene, a fierce fight took place here. One of them had a talisman in his hand, but before he could use it, he was knocked away by a huge force and passed out on the spot.
"What is this?" Shao Zilong squatted down and stared at the strange marks on the ground, frowning, "Does it look like a python?"
"Kind of." I agreed.
Judging from the traces on the ground, it does seem to have been swept out by a huge snake's tail.
This inevitably reminds us of the thing Haitang saw in the vegetable garden.
"He really came out, why are you causing trouble!" Shao Zilong cursed.
I got up and went to the side to check.
At this moment, several more figures rushed over quickly.
"what happened?"
Just listen to Wei Dongting's voice shouting and asking.
Also arriving with him were Cao Junwu, Lao Meng and two other people who were wearing bone strings around their necks.
"You can see for yourself." Shao Zilong replied lightly.
Wei Dongting glared at him and followed Cao Junwu and others to see the injured two people.
"Don't worry, fortunately we arrived in time and won't die." Shao Zilong said.
Cao Junwu checked the injuries of the two men, then stood up, looked around, and said, "Send the ringing arrow."
Wei Dongting shot two loud arrows into the sky.
Not long after, more people arrived one after another, and their expressions changed drastically when they saw the two injured people.
"Tell me about the situation at that time."
When the two men regained consciousness, Cao Junwu immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Dragon, there is a dragon..." One of them suddenly shouted, with a look of horror on his face.
"What?"
His shout shocked all of us.
"Say it again? Did you just say there was a dragon?" Wei Dongting said.
"Yes..." The man's voice kept trembling.
His companion nodded in horror.
"Are you kidding? How can there be a dragon?" Wei Dongting said.
Others couldn't believe it, and everyone was talking about it for a while.
Shao Zilong and I looked at each other, also surprised.
"Could you have seen a big snake?" Cao Junwu asked with a frown.
"Yes, did you see it wrong?" Wei Dongting said.
But the man kept shaking his head, "That's definitely not a snake. It has two horns on its head and four claws. It's very fast. We can't see it very clearly, but it's definitely not a snake."
Everyone looked at each other.
"How long and how big is it?" Cao Junwu asked.
"It's probably this long, right?" The two men gestured.
According to their description, it was about three or four meters long.
Someone laughed at that time, "Is the dragon that long?"
"More like a large lizard."
"Where did the big lizard come from here? It's probably a python or something. They got it wrong."
Everyone also laughed, and their tone became much more relaxed.
"What if it was really a python lizard that could almost kill us two?" The injured two people were not happy.
Those who were joking before suddenly stopped laughing when they heard this.
Anyone who can be summoned here must have some unique skills. If two people join forces, they really won't be able to defeat a python.
"Didn't the little girl in Honghe Village say that what she saw at that time was a big snake with a human face? I guess we encountered this thing." Lao Meng said in a deep voice.
"That's for sure." Everyone nodded.
"Why do you think that thing is a dragon?" I asked abruptly.
"What?" The two people were stunned for a moment, "It's because..."
"Is it because you vaguely saw that thing has horns on its head and four claws?" I asked again.
The two people subconsciously wanted to nod, but I interrupted, "That's not a problem, is it?"
Everyone else gave me a strange look.
"It seems..." The injured two hesitated for a moment, and one of them swallowed and said, "It seems that as soon as I saw that thing, I felt... very scared, and my hands and feet became weak."
"Yes, yes." The other person nodded again and again, "I'm not afraid of your laughter if I say it. I had the same reaction at the time, and I was..."
He glanced at me and said, "When you reminded me, I realized that at that time, an idea suddenly came into my mind that that thing was a dragon. I didn't know what happened."
"Yes, I am the same way." The man before said with a complicated expression, "I thought it was the horns and claws that made me think it was a dragon. In fact, I was shocked as soon as I saw that thing, and it just I feel strangely..."
After the two said this, everyone was in a commotion.
This thing sounds too mysterious, but since both people have such reactions, it cannot be said to be just a pure coincidence.
Really weird!
