Based on the young man's information, Xiangyun Company immediately summoned a team of more than ten people, composed of Miao people who were familiar with the terrain and Jin Yiwei who were highly skilled in martial arts, and slowly explored the mountain forest.
The group of people started marching in from the place where the young man witnessed the white snake. After walking for about half a day, they arrived in the deep and uninhabited forest. Except for the big trees that blocked the sky and the poisonous insects that could not be disturbed, it seemed that there was nothing there. There is no other gain.
There are almost no normal roads in this Miao border mountain. After all, there have been very few people walking here for thousands of years.
Along the way, their team has been cutting rocks and cutting thorns, and has transformed from an expedition team into an engineering team. Everyone is tired and tired, and they look like beggars.
The second shopkeeper irritably split the branches blocking the way with his sword. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard an exhausted confession coming from behind.
"Second, second shopkeeper, please be slower. This villain is incompetent. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
The second shopkeeper heard the sound and looked back, only to see that the faces of the brothers who were traveling with him all turned sallow, and their spirits were more than one level weaker than before entering the mountain.
He frowned, turned around, grabbed one person's wrist and began to diagnose the person's pulse. After checking, the second shopkeeper's frown deepened.
He turned his gaze to the two Miao people who were leading the way and said calmly: "Two friends, why are my brothers still poisoned after using the medicine you concocted?"
Leading the way was a pair of Miao grandsons. The grandson was only in his teens. The young man couldn't stand such suspicion. His face turned red and he asked angrily: "The shopkeeper is doubting me." Did grandpa play tricks on the antidote?"
The second shopkeeper folded his hands without saying a word. The dagger in his sleeves was already gently held by him. He looked at the old Miao man calmly. If the other party answered incorrectly, he would immediately cause the other party's blood to be spattered on the spot.
The old Miao man sighed and slowly explained: "The shopkeeper misunderstood. Laochan's antidote can indeed ward off the miasma poisonous insects in the forest, but it is not a panacea."
"Oh?" The second shopkeeper's face softened slightly and he asked, "How do you say it?"
The old man took the initiative to stretch out his arm for the second shopkeeper to check. He said: "The miasma in this mountain has existed since ancient times. The deeper you go in, the deeper it hurts people. We, the Miao people, have lived here for thousands of years, so we can rely on I have to resist with my physical constitution, the shopkeeper is from the Central Plains, so..."
After the second shopkeeper heard this, he grabbed the old man's wrist unceremoniously. After some pulse diagnosis, he finally understood.
This miasma is harmful to everyone, and the depth of the damage varies from person to person. Medicine can alleviate some of it, and your own physical fitness and martial arts can also alleviate some of it.
These seedlings have been born here and have been here for a long time, and their innate physical constitution can also alleviate some of it. Just now, the second shopkeeper also detected some poison in the old man's body. Looking at his face, he was indeed invaded by miasma, which is enough to prove what the other party said. Not empty.
"It's me, Meng Lang. Don't blame me." After figuring out the matter, the second shopkeeper cupped his fists and apologized to the old Miao man.
"You're welcome, shopkeeper." The old Miao man waved his hand and did not take the matter to heart.
However, he also stopped and took a look at the sky at this time, and then looked at the bottomless dense forest in front of him, and then advised the second shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, your guys are already at their limit in reaching here. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go inside.”
The old man's words were words of advice, but they were indeed offensive. The second shopkeeper did not find any information related to Saint Caiwei during his trip. He sighed and finally decided to give up. He might not be willing to sacrifice his own life.
"Then just listen to my father-in-law."
The second shopkeeper called out all the brothers who were resting. It wasn't that he didn't care about his subordinates. This place was so poisonous that staying here would be a slow suicide. Since he wanted to leave, the sooner the better.
The group of people planned to go back home, but just as everyone turned around, the young Miao man hanging at the end suddenly discovered a pair of green eyes in the thick grass.
"Ah!" The young man was startled and screamed subconsciously.
This sound also shocked other people in the team. The second shopkeeper quickly turned his head, his sharp eyes swept behind him, and he hurriedly asked: "What's going on?!"
"There are—there are monsters!" The Miao boy pointed in the direction of the grass and said in a trembling voice.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The second shopkeeper looked towards the place pointed by the other person, and when he saw the green vertical pupils, a shiver ran down his spine.
He immediately took out the three darts he carried and threw them out. The snake shadow disappeared in a flash, and all three darts missed. Then, the surrounding trees suddenly trembled violently, and fallen leaves fell like rain.
The group of people breathed attentively, and the second shopkeeper's ears seemed to catch a trace of movement. Without thinking, he threw out three darts again, only to hear a sound of gold and iron. In the sparks struck by the three darts, the white body of the big snake was reflected. Everyone's eyes.
Accompanied by a hissing sound that made people sweat, the big snake finally exposed his body in front of everyone.
"this"
The second shopkeeper and all the Jinyi guards were all shocked. They raised their heads and couldn't believe what they saw. No wonder the Miao people would call the white snake "immortal" when they saw the white snake. Damn it, they were right.
The thick body of this white snake is about the size of the mouth of a well. The upright part in front of everyone's eyes alone is three feet high. The huge body entrenched behind it makes people's legs weak.
The Holy Maiden of Miaojiang is indeed extraordinary. Not everyone has such a big heart to keep this thing as a pet.
"White Snake Immortal!"
When the old Miao man saw the white snake, he immediately knelt down and knelt down. He also took his grandson, who was so frightened that he wet his pants, to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
The second shopkeeper did not have that kind of strange belief. He looked at the basilisk in front of him and swallowed subconsciously. He had never seen Saint Caiwei's white snake, so he was not sure whether it was the same one, but now it seemed It's not his turn to pick and choose.
He seemed to be targeted by this monster, and the three darts just now seemed to have angered him.
Facing the white snake's hanging green vertical pupils, the second shopkeeper gritted his teeth and threw three more darts. This time he saw clearly that the three darts, which were so powerful that they could penetrate the board, hit the white snake, which was just a scratch. Just a little spark.
"Damn it, what the hell."
The second shopkeeper couldn't help but uttered a curse word. Could it be that this basilisk also practiced Shaolin Vajra to become indestructible? Why was it that his hidden weapon was able to create sparks when hit on his body?
Hiss——
White Snake spat out the letter, with fierce intent clearly visible in its vertical pupils, and at the same time as it opened its mouth wide enough to swallow a person, the second shopkeeper suddenly felt a strong wind coming, and the shouts of the brothers behind him quickly faded away in his ears.
When he came back to his senses, the ground was already three or four feet away from him. Blood spurted out from the mouth of the second shopkeeper. He caught a glimpse of the afterimage of the tail whip, and then he slowly realized that it turned out to be the white snake's weapon. The tail whipped him away.
The second shopkeeper's body first went up to the sky, and then hit the ground with a bang. His internal organs seemed to be displaced at this moment.
Seeing the big snake seemed to be unsatisfactory, and the second shopkeeper didn't care about anything else. He silently recited "Master Lu's blessing" in his heart, and then immediately took out the token of Xiangyun Company and shouted with all his strength: "This is Xiangyun Company. The shopkeeper is here to find the saint on the orders of Mr. Lu’s family!”
The open bloody mouth had already reached the second shopkeeper, and the brothers behind him couldn't stop the big snake at all. Seeing this, he couldn't help but scream in his heart, my life is over.
But just when the second shopkeeper was about to die, the big snake suddenly stopped on its own.
Everyone was puzzled by the explanation, and the big snake's open mouth slowly closed. Its anger seemed to have subsided, and it slowly retracted into the deep forest while spitting out the letter.
The second shopkeeper narrowly escaped death and finally stood up with the help of everyone. He looked into the depths of the dense forest. After taking a deep breath, he said loudly again: "I have brought a message from Lu Shaodong's family. The Shaodong family is worried about their friends. If it’s safe, if it’s convenient, please ask the saint to come out and meet you!”
The wind rustled in the ears, and after a moment, the figure of the big snake appeared again, its condescending vertical pupils reflecting the calm demeanor of everyone.
Just when no one dared to make a sound, a slightly dull female voice came from above White Snake's head.
"Did Mr. Lu call you here?"
This voice fell in everyone's ears, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The second shopkeeper supported his seriously injured body and said: "Exactly, we were shocked to hear about the tragedy of the Lingyue clan, but the young master said that the saint is a great blessing. People, so we are ordered to find the whereabouts of the saint."
After the second shopkeeper finished speaking, a moment later, a beautiful figure appeared from behind the snake shadow. It was the Miao Saint Caiwei that everyone was looking for.
