The accident happened so quickly that Song Jiang didn't even see what happened, but he saw Lao Zhen's sickle sweeping down against the tip of Lao Deng's nose, cutting the strange snake that suddenly jumped up into two pieces... Lao Deng was frightened. His legs softened and he collapsed on the ground.
Looking at the two severed snakes on the ground, Song Jiang looked shocked and said, "Holy crap! What are these?!"
Lao Zhen said calmly, "This is the Cangshan branding iron head, a highly venomous snake... If you are bitten by it, it will be the King of Hell carrying a sedan, and the Jade Emperor himself will not be able to save you."
Lao Deng had already been scared to death, and after a while he calmed down and said tremblingly, "What's going on? Why did the stone turn into a snake?!"
After hearing this, Lao Zhen shook his head and said, "I warned you before you came up here, don't look around or walk around. This area is full of dangers, and an inconspicuous little thing can kill you..."
Lao Deng said with a scared look on his face, "I thought it was a beautiful stone? I didn't expect it to be a green snake coiled together!"
At this time, Song Jiang walked over and helped Lao Deng up from the ground and said, "Fortunately, I was not bitten... I have also heard of this poisonous snake called the iron head, which is said to be extremely venomous!"
Lao Deng, who had escaped the disaster, patted the dirt on his body and was about to bend down to pick up the dead snake on the ground. When Song Jiang saw this scene, he suddenly remembered a piece of news he had seen on the Internet before, saying that a chef was cooking When making snake soup, he was bitten by a venomous snake that he had just beheaded and was poisoned to death. So he wanted to remind him to be careful. Unexpectedly, the next second he heard Lao Deng suddenly say "Ouch", and then his whole body fell to the ground. On the ground...
Seeing this, Song Jiang quickly turned Lao Deng's body over, only to find that the snake head that had just been chopped off by Lao Zhen was biting on Lao Deng's finger...Song Jiang was stunned on the spot when he saw it. I don’t know what to do with time.
Lao Bing reacted quickly and cut off Lao Deng's blackened finger with the knife in his hand. Then he immediately pulled a thin hemp rope from his waist and tightly wrapped it around Lao Deng's wrist to stop the bleeding.
It may be due to the snake venom. Although Lao Deng had one of his fingers cut off, he didn't seem to feel much pain. However, his consciousness soon became blurred, his breathing became rapid, and his lips turned a terrible purple color. …
Lao Zhen said anxiously when he saw it, "It's still too late, the venom has spread to other parts of the body!"
After hearing this, Song Jiang quickly asked, "Is it possible to save him by sending him down the mountain now?!"
"I cut off his fingers just now to release about 60% to 70% of the venom, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive ten minutes... Now he can almost survive until he is sent to the hospital down the mountain." Lao Zhen said this. After a slight pause, he said, "You two have two choices now. One is to go down the mountain with me and come back up again after I have settled Lao Deng's affairs. The other is to go into the valley by yourself and wait until I have settled Lao Deng's affairs. Come up and pick you up.”
Song Jiang was still a little hesitant after hearing this, but he heard Meng Zhe say in a deep voice, "Send him down, and the two of us will enter the valley by ourselves."
Lao Deng was slightly startled after hearing this. He didn't expect that these two young people from the city would have the courage to enter the valley by themselves. However, Lao Deng's situation was urgent and he was not allowed to say anything more, so he quickly carried the Lao Deng, who was on the ground, turned around and walked down the mountain...
When Meng Zhe saw Song Jiang looking at the two of them with worried expressions, he said in a funny tone, "What? Are you scared that there are only two of us left?"
After hearing this, Song Jiang shook his head and said, "I'm worried that Lao Deng won't be able to make it down the mountain..."
"People often say that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune... But he just escaped death once and then suffered a second disaster. Do you know what this means?" Meng Zhe asked with a gloomy face.
Song Jiang shook his head and said with a confused expression, "I don't know...what does it mean?"
"It shows that God will never give a person a second chance... Do you think that person named Deng is short-sighted? What's so good about a dead snake?!" Meng Zhe said angrily.
Song Jiang said helplessly, "I guess he didn't expect that a dead venomous snake would jump up and bite people, right?! Okay, let's go ahead and do business in the valley. Without Lao Ming to lead the way, I don't know if we can Find the exact location of the altar."
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe waved his hand after hearing this, and saw that the thick vegetation blocking their way instantly retreated like a tide. When Meng Zhe saw this, he said with a proud face, "Actually, if Lao Bing and the others hadn't been there, If you two follow us, our way up the mountain will become easier..."
Without the obstruction of the vegetation, the terrain in the valley suddenly became much clearer. A stone road covered with moss appeared on the ground, with many strange patterns carved on it... Song Jiang and Meng Zhe walked along the stone road. In front of him, he was blocked by a huge banyan tree surrounded by several people.
"What a big banyan tree! This can't be Grandma Montenegro from A Chinese Ghost Story!" Song Jiang said with emotion as he looked at the banyan tree.
After hearing this, Meng Zhe looked at the spreading aerial roots of the banyan tree on the ground, and hummed softly, "Have you watched too many ghost movies? If a tree does not have the blessing of external forces... it will not be possible even if it lives for tens of thousands of years. What kind of climate is it like?”
"What kind of external blessing is needed!?" Song Jiang asked curiously.
Meng Zhe smiled mysteriously after hearing this, then he walked around the aerial roots on the ground and gently pressed his hand against the banyan tree. Then a stream of blue energy slowly poured into the thick body of the banyan tree...
At this moment, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "Open your eyes!" The next second, a set of facial features gradually appeared on the banyan tree. Song Jiang opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
The old banyan tree gained facial features after receiving Meng Zhe's energy, and then asked, "Who are you...?"
After hearing this, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "I am the White Tiger Divine Lord... I have something to ask you today, so I will lend you a third of my divine power."
"Shenjun's question... Xiao Ke must tell you everything he knows." The old banyan tree said in a trembling voice.
"How many years have you lived here!?" Meng Zhe asked the first question.
The old banyan tree was silent for a moment and then replied, "Xiao Ke...has lived here for nearly two thousand years."
Meng Zhe nodded and said, "Then do you remember everything that happened here?"
"This valley was once the altar of a tribe thousands of years ago. Later, something happened and the altar was destroyed. From then on, no human beings set foot in this place..." The old banyan tree's words became more and more slippery, and he could already give a complete answer to Meng. Zhe’s problem.
