Han Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and rested on a tree branch for a while before getting off the tree.
Thinking about how they were almost exposed just now, I felt a little bit scared. They were too close to the opponent this time. Unfortunately, the telescope had been sold to Old Man Feng, otherwise the expedition team could be monitored from a distance.
He rested for ten minutes, until he felt that the voices of those people began to become inaudible, and then he was ready to continue tracking.
Taking out his shield and sword, he carefully climbed up to the top of the mountain.
Hiding behind a big tree, he looked towards the valley and found that the valley was full of people, many people were moving around the lake, and there were also people in the woods over Zhenwu Temple.
Seeing that these people ranged too widely, Han Xiaosheng was worried about encounters on the way and did not dare to go over to inquire. He simply hid behind a tree and observed.
Suddenly, he found that everyone was flocking to the mountains and forests around Zhenwu Temple, and he couldn't help but guess in his mind.
After half an hour of chaos in the forest, the people came out of the woods again and walked towards the lake.
A group of people wandered around the lake. The leader of the group began to come towards Han Xiaosheng, and
A few people at the end of the team were passing the part where the lake overflowed.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A whirlpool suddenly formed in the calm water surface of the lake. The last few people in the team were attracted by the changes in the water surface. They stopped and looked at the lake water.
The area of the whirlpool became larger and larger, and the rotation speed became faster and faster. Suddenly, a huge head rose from the center of the whirlpool, getting higher and higher, almost halfway up the hill.
People by the lake were shocked. It was a giant snake. Its body was as thick as several water tanks. The height above the water surface was more than 20 meters. It was unknown how long it was under the water.
The giant snake was full of menace, and all the people by the lake lost their ability to move. Only those who had turned to climb the mountain were still working hard towards the top of the mountain because they did not see the ferocious beast.
Only a weird long hiss of the giant snake was heard, and the sound shook the surrounding mountains and forests. For a moment, everyone from the top of the mountain to the lakeside had a blank mind. Even Han Xiaosheng on the top of the mountain was also hit and almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, he was farthest away and when his mind regained consciousness, he quickly retracted his head and body and hid behind the big tree, trembling all over.
Han Xiaosheng escaped, but those who were still near the lake suffered. Everyone collapsed to the ground and lost the ability to move.
The giant snake lowered its head, opened its mouth wide, and suddenly began to inhale, and a storm immediately blew up by the lake.
Those paralyzed on the ground by the lake were like fallen leaves, spinning and flying, screaming and being sucked into the belly of the giant snake.
The middle part of the giant snake's body began to swell, forming a big lump, which gradually turned into a round shape, and then it stopped breathing.
Some people who reached the giant snake's mouth fell one after another and fell on the lakeside, letting out alarming screams.
Han Xiaosheng heard the movement by the lake and exposed half of his head to look at the lake.
I saw the giant snake showing a humane expression of regret. Looking at the people who fell to the ground by the lake, a large round bump bulged in the middle of the body. The body was slowly lowering until the flat and terrifying head. Sinked into the lake.
After a while, the whirlpool on the lake gradually dissipated and calmness slowly returned, leaving only a few people screaming by the lake and blood all over the ground.
Except for the screams of those people, there was no movement in the valley. It seemed that the fierceness of the giant snake had not dissipated.
Han Xiaosheng looked at the lake quietly, watching the surviving people by the lake slowly get up, support each other and walk up the mountain road by the lake, disappearing little by little at the end of the mountain road.
On the hilltop behind Zhenwu Temple, there was also a team watching all this. Everyone closed their mouths tightly and did not dare to make a sound, as if they were worried about disturbing the giant snake in the lake.
A middle-aged man in front of the team looked frightened and slowly turned around and left. Behind him, a handsome young man holding a folding fan was also trembling all over and said in fear:
"Deputy Mayor Shi, how come there is such a terrifying beast here?"
The middle-aged man's trembling voice came:
"How do I know? You Crow Mountain horse thieves have been operating in the mountains and forests of this area for a long time. You don't know, and I don't know either."
A group of people behind him followed away in silence, with heavy expressions on their faces.
Han Xiaosheng walked out from behind the big tree and looked at the calm lake. He was speechless for a long time. Thinking that he had been exploring opportunities by the lake before and stayed for a long time, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. He also secretly warned himself that this world is too dangerous. There are many opportunities and dangers. It is also everywhere, traveling through it is risky, and exploration requires caution.
Originally, he wanted to go to Baibao Pavilion in town to do something in the past two days.
As a result, yesterday I met someone who plotted against me and wanted to kill me. As a result, I was forced to take the first step. They committed murder and set fire, and also saved a beautiful woman who was the most beautiful woman in the country.
Today I met two old men again. After a lot of hard work, I got a few more partners to explore the ruins.
I wanted to go to Baibao Pavilion twice, but I didn't even see the Baibao Pavilion sign. I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seemed that it was not appropriate to go there for the time being.
Thinking of the suddenness of this time travel, my sister and brother-in-law watched me disappear into the living room. They were probably still worried about me. It was too dangerous here, so they should go home first and come here again when they are ready.
Having made up his mind, Han Xiaosheng decided not to wander around anymore and took a detour to the mountain behind the Taoist temple.
When he arrived at the mountain behind the Taoist temple, he walked down the hillside to the back of the Taoist temple. He found that the three corpses he had buried in the ground had been dug out and thrown randomly on the ground. He couldn't help cursing those people in his heart for digging up the graves. , deserved to be swallowed by a giant snake.
He didn't know yet that if he had come a little earlier, he might have met Deputy Mayor Shi and the horse thief who were chasing him. It could be said that the giant snake saved his life by some mistake.
Han Xiaosheng took out the engineering shovel, dug the pit again, buried the three Taoists again, and piled them on the grave. It was thought that these three people who were frightened by the giant snake would not dare to come here again, and these three people should be able to sleep peacefully.
He returned to the Taoist temple, closed the Taoist temple door, bolted the door, returned to the library, closed the door, put on his hiking bag, took out his old mobile phone, and said silently:
"I want to go back to the real world"
The phone's light flashed, and the screen began to flicker. A halo of purple light enveloped him, and the purple light in front of him began to rotate, forming a vortex.
The vortex turned faster and faster, and suddenly with a flash of light, the vortex and Han Xiaosheng disappeared out of thin air.
After coming back to his senses, Han Xiaosheng found that he had finally returned to the real world, sitting on the sofa in the living room, carrying a hiking bag. Opposite him sat his surprised sister Han Ying, and his brother-in-law was not there.
After calling "Sister", Han Xiaosheng put down the phone.
The two of them had obviously been waiting for a long time. Seeing the dirt on Han Xiaosheng's body, Han Ying asked eagerly:
"Xiaosheng, how is the situation? Are you in danger?"
Han Xiaosheng put down his weapon. Seeing his sister anxious, he smiled and said with joy:
"Sister, there is not much danger. I have been there for half a month and have been in a small town. The town is relatively remote and the people are relatively simple. They are mainly farmers and they are not aggressive.
The dust on my body was caused by rummaging through things in a Taoist temple that was no longer occupied. "
He didn't mention the grudge with Mr. Shi's family, nor did he want to mention the terrifying giant snake. He didn't want his sister to worry.
Han Ying felt relieved and saw that he was a little dirty, so she asked him to take a bath first while she went to buy him a breakfast.
Only then did Han Xiaosheng realize that it was already past nine in the morning, and the early morning sunlight slanted into the living room through the glass window.
The clock on the wall read 9:11 on February 19th, the third day of the Lunar New Year.
