Bai Gu took a deep breath, quickly moved the old man to a more hidden position, sprinkled some realgar powder and other insect repellent and snake repellent around him, and then walked away alone.
Because he knew that the giant snake was coming for him.
He had to lure away the giant snake alone so that the old man could not suffer undue disaster.
The old man is a good person and shouldn't be involved.
The old man helped him by showing him the way and looking for ginseng together.
A person who has helped me, why do I have to harm him or hurt him?
There is no such truth in the world.
At least, not with Bai Gu.
Bai Gu took a step forward, and a large ball of realgar powder appeared in his hand.
This time, it is kneaded with snow, and you can add more realgar powder.
Moreover, he also added some spices.
When the giant snake noticed Bai Gu, the latter threw it hard, and the big ball drew a parabola, hitting the giant snake's head again.
"Roar!"
The giant snake was completely angry.
It has lived for who knows how many years, and its own power is extremely powerful. The snakes around it are also led by it, and no one dares to disobey it. It is also the king of snakes on this ancient snow peak. For countless years, almost no living being has dared to provoke it like this.
And it happens again and again and again.
As a snake king, it must capture the human being in front of it, torture it slowly, and kill it to death!
Otherwise, if this spreads out, it will be ridiculed by its peers, and its prestige as a snake king will be greatly damaged.
It will never allow this to happen!
It must catch Bai Gu tonight!
In the forest, a figure as small as a fly ran quickly. Even though the snow on the mountain road had reached up to his calves, the little figure looked as if it was nothing. His speed did not slow down at all, and it tended to get faster and faster.
Behind him, there was a huge figure following closely behind
Obviously, the latter is faster.
The distance between the two is getting closer!
Bai Gu glanced back and gritted his teeth.
Damn it! How come this thing can run so well? I can't even shake it off!
What the old beggar had warned him before suddenly flashed through Bai Gu's mind.
"Snakes in the mountains are very fast. If you encounter one and you can't get rid of it, you have to run away quickly! But you have to remember that you can't run on flat ground, let alone run low, otherwise the snake will easily catch up with you. Go higher. Run everywhere, run up the mountain. And you can't run straight, you have to turn suddenly, left and right. It's best to have some bumps on the road, so at least the snake can't catch up with you so fast. You kid is running very fast. , maybe we can get rid of it.”
Bai Gu curled his lips.
Although the old beggar usually seems careless, there are still times when he can do it. Whether it's helping to lead the way to Mr. Wu or buying things for him before going into the mountains, they are all very reliable.
Then take a gamble and trust the old beggar once.
Old guy, don’t trick me, or else I’ll come look for you every day in the middle of the night after I die!
With a turn of footsteps, Bai Gu shifted his figure and started running towards the top of the mountain.
Although Bai Gu moved left and right in a very wide range, in the eyes of the giant snake, this kid was just teasing him!
Provocation is not enough, you dare to tease me!
This kid is looking for death!
The giant snake roared up to the sky, and a water ball as black as ink condensed out, and suddenly shot towards Bai Gu like an arrow.
The ink-colored water ball carried a fishy smell that reached the sky, and the little liquid that escaped actually melted a big tree into a pool of sewage - this was clearly the venom condensed in the giant snake's body!
Extremely toxic!
As if he felt that there was danger coming from behind, Bai Gu had no time to think and subconsciously threw himself to the side, narrowly avoiding the ink water ball.
"Bo!"
The water ball exploded on the ground, and its toxicity instantly corroded the ground into a large pit, emitting a strong fishy smell.
Bai Gu was so frightened that he stood on his head. If he hadn't escaped just now, he might be a corpse now.
Even the bones were turned into slag.
Seeing that the attack failed, the giant snake became even more angry. With a flick of its tail, it flew straight towards Bai Gu.
The sound was so loud that the sound of breaking wind resounded in Bai Gu's ears.
"I go!"
Bai Gu turned over, rolled and crawled dozens of meters away, and barely dodged again.
However, the huge impact of the giant tail hitting the ground directly flew Bai Gu away, and threw him heavily on the snow. He fell and chewed the mud, eating a mouthful of snow and soil.
"puff!"
Just as Bai Gu was about to get up, he suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing the snow in front of him red.
Although he had just escaped the slap of the giant snake's tail, the huge impact it produced after landing was still quite powerful. Moreover, Bai Gu was not far away at the time, and the landing point of the giant tail when it landed was right behind his feet. The impact was twice as powerful as if the giant tail hit Bai Gu directly.
With such an impact, Bai Gu only vomited blood, which only meant that he himself was in excellent physical condition, but it might not have been the case for someone else.
Bai Gu quickly got up, without having time to check his injuries, and continued running towards the mountain without looking back.
All he wanted now was to run away and get away from the giant snake.
If it catches up, the only outcome will be death. At that time, what does it matter whether it is hurt or not?
However, no matter how high the snow peak is, there is still a top.
What if the giant snake persists and chases it all the way to the top of the mountain?
At that time there was no way out.
If it doesn't work, the only option is to jump off the mountain.
It's better than dying in the mouth of a giant snake!

"You pay for tonight's drink, I have no money!" came a mean voice, it was an old beggar.
The person sitting opposite him was actually the drunkard who died in front of the Yaojiu Pavilion that day.
"Okay!" The drunkard seemed to be used to the old beggar's careless appearance, and his tone was very calm.
"By the way, what are you doing here? It's not a good place." The old beggar peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
"Just take a walk, can't you?" The drunkard took a sip of wine. Well, the wine was not bad.
"I believe you wherever you go, even this Yunshui City. Something will happen to you when you come here."
"Even if something happens, you can't help."
"Then it seems like something is going on, or something big." The old beggar crossed his legs, thought for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, "Wu family?"
"Absolutely." The drunkard nodded.
The drunkard was not surprised as to what the old beggar could guess. After all, he only had a few bad things to deal with.
"Look at it, I don't blame you, no one else can do it perfectly." The old beggar patted the drunkard's shoulder and wiped the oil stains off his hands.
The drunkard was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiaoyan is dead, I can't protect her, I'm sorry."
The old beggar paused and said, "Where is he buried?"
"Dongyang can only reluctantly erect a memorial tomb."
The old beggar drank all the wine in his glass and said, "It would be nice to have a small grave."
When the drunkard saw that the old beggar was unwilling to say anything more, he stopped speaking and just drank silently.
They looked at each other speechlessly.
——————
"Damn it! This thing must be a donkey, so stubborn!"
Bai Gu was now covered in scars, and there was a wound on his left hand that was as long as his arm, and blood was gushing out. The off-white cotton and linen undershirt has been dyed red.
Now his whole body was like a candle in the cold wind, blood red all over and teetering on the edge of collapse. But just relying on that little spark, I persisted until now.
Bai Gu ran out of a path and came to a flat ground.
But after he ran a few steps, he realized something was wrong.
This flat land is lush with green grass and trees, but there is no snow at all!
It's winter now. How can there be no snow in the snowy weather?
Moreover, what frightened Bai Gu the most was that this place was actually a cliff!
In other words, there is no way to run!
God, you really don't give me a way to survive.
Bai Gu wailed in his heart and ran towards the cliff again.
If it doesn't work, I can only really jump off the cliff. I don't want to die in the mouth of that giant snake. And cliff jumping, maybe it can be like those stories, there are adventures under the cliff, and if I learn enough, I can come back and beat up the giant snake!
Bai Gu ran under a big rock and hid.
Anyway, this place is close to the cliff. If the giant snake really rushes towards him, he will jump down quickly.
As soon as he had this idea, the giant snake's head poked out from the woods and roared twice in Bai Gu's direction. But he remained motionless, as if he didn't dare to take another step forward.
Only then did Bai Gu realize that there seemed to be an invisible boundary between the woods and the plains. Within the boundaries are flat lands, green as spring; outside the boundaries are woods, covered with snow.
And there seems to be something within the boundary that scares the giant snake, making it afraid to take a step beyond it.
In order to confirm this idea, Bai Gu came out very desperately and hooked his fingers, as if to say: "Come here! Come here and kill me!"
He looked very provocative and arrogant.
The giant snake was furious. How dare this human being ignore it and provoke it again and again!
This kid must die today!
The giant snake roared up to the sky, and then rushed towards Bai Gu regardless of any taboos.
"I'm going to play Dafa!"
"boom!"
Suddenly, a rumble came from the sky.
It's thunder!
Bai Gu looked up and saw that in the originally cloudless night sky, countless thunderclouds had gathered at some point, filling the entire sky. There are layers of thunderclouds, as gloomy as the sea, as if they are weighing on people's hearts.
The flashing thunder and lightning were as thick as flying dragons, swimming like fish, running wildly in the low-hanging sea of clouds, baring their teeth and claws.
"boom!"
There was another thunder explosion, and a light broke through the gloomy sky in an instant, illuminating the night sky thousands of miles away like day.
Bai Gu narrowed his eyes due to the sudden light.
At the same time, a sentence from some anecdotes that I had heard before suddenly came to mind.
"There are thunders from the sky, as bright as the day; all evil spirits are caught by cause and effect."
Bai Gu couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that everything in the book is true. If you do bad things, you will be struck by lightning."
Bai Gu looked at the giant snake again, only to see the latter standing at the edge of the woods, not daring to move at all.
Because it knows that this thunder is coming towards it.
All living beings have a destiny of life and death, blessings and misfortunes, and any forced change will lead to disaster!
The giant snake has lived for who knows how many years, and has surpassed the category of ordinary snakes. In the past, I relied on the blessing of certain opportunities to survive in this world. Now, in order to hunt down Bai Gu, he suddenly exposed himself to the outside world!
Tianjie is always willing to pay close attention to things that defy the heavens like him. He has been wandering around outside for so long, how could Tianjie not notice it? How could he let himself go?
If you want to blame, blame this human being!
If it weren't for him, how could he get out of the hole so easily? How could it lead to disaster?
It's all his fault!
But the current situation really puts it in a dilemma.
As long as it dares to step onto the plains and cliffs, the heavenly calamity on its head will be struck immediately, and it will definitely be crushed into ashes before it can kill Bai Gu.
But if it just retreats, it won’t be reconciled!
The human boy in front of him repeatedly provoked me and ignored the dignity of the snake king. He deserved to die! And since it came out of the cave because of this, how could it make sense to run back in despair? I'm afraid I'll be laughed out of my compatriots!
It doesn't allow this to happen!
The giant snake opened its bloody mouth, and an ink-colored water ball condensed and then shot out.
Since you can't get close, shoot from a distance!
"It's this trick again..."
Bai Gu was numb.
I don't know how many times I used this trick when I was chasing the giant snake on the road. Most of the injuries on my body were caused by the bursting of water balls and the splashing of gravel.
He even almost got hit several times. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been a puddle of blood by now.
Just when Bai Gu was about to escape from the place and avoid the water ball, thunder exploded in the sky, and a thunder struck down suddenly, wrapping the ink water ball, and instantly turned into smoke and dispersed.
Bai Gu was stunned, could it still be like this?
The giant snake's gray eyes seemed to light up for the first time, full of surprise and disbelief.
Heavenly Tribulation is actually helping a little human being? !
How can it be? !
Whether it is recorded in ancient scriptures, folk stories, or its knowledge of being the Snake King, such a thing has almost never happened.
Some, without exception, are those who are the proud ones of heaven, strange and powerful people, who can turn their hands into clouds, turn their hands into rain, and cover the sky with one hand.
The thin, short, and small human in front of me doesn't look like this kind of person at all. He doesn't even have the slightest edge!
Is Tianjie crazy?
Just when the giant snake was puzzled, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to hear what the giant snake was thinking, and surged, and a thunderbolt as thick as an arm struck straight at the giant snake.
The thunder was so fast that it struck the giant snake in just an instant, exploding countless sparks and scales.
"Roar!"
The giant snake roared in pain, and then fell straight down, crushing countless trees and throwing up countless snowflakes and dust.
Bai Gu stared at this scene blankly.
The giant snake, just like that, died?
It's true that someone was struck to death by lightning.
Bai Gu suddenly realized that the giant snake was dead. Isn't that a good thing?
The most important thing is that my life is saved and I don't have to run anymore.
Then, there is the corpse of the giant snake.
The whole body of the snake is covered with treasures.
Snake gallbladder can clear away heat and detoxify, snake scales can be used as armor, snake meat can activate blood circulation and remove dampness, snake blood can nourish yin and strengthen the spleen... ordinary snakes have such functions, let alone such a big snake.
Even if you and the old man are half as much, you can still make a lot of money!
Hey, you’re going to get rich!
Thinking of this, Bai Gu couldn't help laughing and ran out quickly towards the woods.
In Bai Gu's eyes, that was not the body of a giant snake, but a piece of money!
Good life, here I come.
Bai Gu ran over with a smile and opened his hands, as if to embrace the ideal and beautiful life.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped out from the woods and killed Bai Gu.
It's a giant snake!
The giant snake is still alive!
Bai Gu was startled, but he had no time to retreat.
The giant snake has opened its bloody mouth, ready to devour Bai Gu.
The fangs as sharp as knives are close at hand!
Bai Gu could even smell the strong fishy smell from the giant snake's mouth.
"This thing is a real dog!"
Bai Gu was already in despair. He raised his head and imitated the tone of the hero in the book when he met his end, and sighed, "My life is over!"
"boom!"
A thunderbolt fell from the sky, hitting the giant snake's head like a pile, and smashed it heavily to the ground beside it, creating a big pit.
In shock and confusion, Bai Gu was thrown away by the powerful impact and hit a huge boulder before falling down.
"What's going on?" Bai Gu couldn't help feeling tightness in his chest, and he couldn't spit out a mouthful of blood.
Not only because of this, the sudden thunder from the sky just now also stunned him.
Hey, no, is Tianlei so good at finding opportunities? A hero saves a beauty?
Then wouldn’t I become... Oh no! What's going on? Hey...
Bai Gu was confused again.
At the same time, the thunderclouds in the sky surged again and struck down several thunderbolts. Each one hit the giant snake seven inches away accurately, almost tearing the giant snake in half alive.
In the deepest part of the wound, you can already faintly see the wildly beating heart of the giant snake.
"Roar!"
The giant snake was in pain and roared to the sky. The roar was hoarse and angry at the same time!
The clay figurine still has some anger, not to mention it is a snake king!
Even if you are a calamity, I am not a softie!
As if sensing the giant snake's anger and dissatisfaction, the thunderclouds in the sky just surged, and ten thunderbolts fell straight down, striking the giant snake.
Ten thunderbolts intertwined in the air, converging into an extremely thick thunder column, directly enveloping the giant snake.
Enlightenment!
"Damn, I'm afraid this is a little painful." Bai Gu shivered as he watched. Whether it was a giant snake or a thunder, as long as he got even slightly closer, he would be killed by a single touch.
When gods fight, a mortal like him doesn't want to suffer.
Suddenly, the giant snake in the thunder pillar began to struggle violently, rolling up countless gravel and dust flying everywhere.
At the same time, there was a faint purple light emerging from the body, resisting the baptism of the thunder pillar.
A flying stone hit Bai Gu's forehead without any bias.
The world in front of Bai Gu began to spin, and he fell upside down. Bai Gu's eyelids began to feel heavy.
Was that stone intentional by that beast?
Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see the thunder from the sky crashing down more and more violently. The number... must have been dozens...
