The hunting party enters the forest.

The silence was a bit eerie. There were no birds, animals, or mice in this forest. The extreme silence made the hounds in the team restless.

The hunter ahead made a discovery.

The clan leader rode forward and saw hunters surrounding several strange and huge earth pillars. The earth pillars were taller than people, and they were gathered together in large and small groups. The clan leader remembered that he had seen many such strange earth pillars along the way. As expected, the Hundred Thousand Mountains It's amazing that there are even such things, but why do I feel so uncomfortable in this place...

On the hillside, Snake Eyes watched coldly. After the team went deep into the forest, it rolled up a long stone with its tail and threw it out!

The spinning stone bar flew over the treetops and passed the crowd, and then hit the earth pillar hard with a clang, smashing into a small piece, but the earth pillar was mostly intact.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, suspecting someone of a sneak attack. They gathered around nervously for a long time but saw nothing.

In fact, they could still survive if they ran away after the rocks hit the ground. It was already too late now. The earth pillars were like streams of black water gushing out of springs...

Woof woof woof~!

The hounds barked like crazy, and two hounds even broke away from the rope and ran away with their tails clamped. The horses neighed. The strange behavior of the hounds and the horses made everyone feel uneasy, and there was a swishing sound in the woods.

Until a certain servant felt pain in his calf and looked down to see a scalp-numbing scene.

Horrified screams broke the silence...

More and more big thumb ants are coming towards us!

The crowd that had just been hugging each other suddenly ran around, beating the ants on their bodies as they ran. The more they ran around, the easier it was to attract the ants from the nest due to the vibration. The earth pillars instantly turned into a black ocean, some kind of unknown The famous ant made humans see what superiority in numbers means. In just a short time, there was almost no place to set foot in the forest.

Don't even think about standing up again if you fall down. In just a few seconds, you will turn into an ant ball and gradually melt away.

White Snake remembered that there was a crocodile that passed through the woods before. The four-meter-long crocodile melted in a short time and turned into food for the ants, not to mention that humans are not as strong as crocodiles.

After looking at the clan leader who was still galloping away on horseback, the white snake disappeared into the grass.

The horses dragged the clan leader away. The rugged terrain limited the speed of the horses. The bites of the ants made the horses run wildly. The clan leader sitting on the horse was accidentally swept down by a branch and fell from his horse. By the time he got up despite the pain, his mount had long disappeared. , hearing screams coming from the woods behind him, he continued to run away with a limp regardless of the pain.

If he could go back in time, he swore he would never take a step into the forest, but it was a pity that it was too late.

A white shadow flashed past, and the little rural patriarch fainted from the pain in his head.

I don’t know how long it took, the clan leader woke up slowly, and felt as if someone was pulling him forward. I don’t know if it was a servant or one of the hired hunters. When he returned, he could be rewarded with two taels of silver. The clan leader thought so, but he raised his head and looked forward. Suddenly I was extremely frightened...

A huge white snake's tail wrapped around its calf and dragged it forward!

"Help...help..."

No one responded, the cry for help echoed in the valley, and the patriarch's heart dropped.

Then the whole person rose into the air, landed and rolled a few times and looked up to look around at the frightened and wailing people. It was still in the forest, and he was sent back by the white snake.

The ants covered the greedy one, and the white snake left without looking back.

…………

The people who were lucky enough to escape ran out of the mountain, and then the name of the ferocious beasts in the mountain spread like wildfire. Shiwandashan once again warned mankind with his blood. Dozens of people entered the mountain and less than ten survived. This time, the company relied on going into the mountain to collect food. The herb collectors who make a living from medicinal herbs no longer dare to go into the mountains. At the same time, the villagers also know that the white snake has a high IQ and is very good at killing people with borrowed knives.

If it weren't for the poorer people living in thatched houses in mountain villages, a temple would have been built for White Snake.

The mountain villages are not as particular as the old scholars in the big cities. They will believe whoever helps and appears. Wong Tai Sin fox fairy and even snake fairy temples can be seen everywhere in the countryside. Instead of seeking help from a high-ranking and indifferent god, it is better to go to the great god in the mountain behind the village. , at least the immortal will appear and occasionally cure diseases and avoid disasters.

The mountain people are even more afraid of the white snake.

White Snake knew that he could not communicate too much with Yun'er, otherwise it would easily affect her life, so he decided to return to the mountain.

The valley is quiet.

The ancient ginkgo tree builds a blessed place, and the psychic white snake asks for immortality.

The mountains are full of time and weather, and the ancient trees have become White Snake’s training ground. Except for climbing up the cliff in the early morning to breathe, they usually stay under the trees, coiled on boulders, or lazily wrapped around the ancient trees. It completely lost the concept of time until it shed its skin and grew again, reaching a height of six meters.

Suddenly thinking of Yun'er, and wondering how that girl was doing, White Snake remembered that the fruit trees in the mountains bloomed nine times and bore nine times, and nine years passed in an instant.

Swim all the way out of the mountain.

When seeing the mountain village, White Snake lamented that it was still the same poverty as nine years ago.

Maybe White Snake and Yun'er are destined. When they came to the back mountain, they saw a pretty figure standing there in a daze. The girl had grown up, but her smell had not changed. If you don't look at the calluses on her hands, Yun'er was actually very pretty and long. Her hair hangs down to her waist. She is definitely a first-class beauty in the countryside, but... why are her eyebrows so tightly knitted?

Yun'er looked back with a feeling, and saw the long-lost white figure.

"White snake!"

Just like when I was a child, I ran over and hugged the white snake, crying and laughing, complaining that the white snake had been gone for many years. The setting sun shone brightly, and the slim Yun'er looked like a child...

When night falls, the stars twinkle. Modern humans living on earth can never imagine how beautiful the pure starry sky is. The twinkling stars hang in the sky, gorgeous and beautiful.

Yun'er sat on the grass with her back to the white snake, looking at the stars with her big eyes and snake pupils.

In fact, White Snake can't see stars, and her high myopia has not changed much after practicing. As for the infrared heat sensor, it is even more impossible to see the stars clearly. This is just for show. Yun'er doesn't know that her good friend is myopic anyway.

Yun'er and White Snake whispered.

"I'm getting married..."

"…………"

White Snake is speechless, how old can Yun'er be this year? Fifteen? Or sixteen years old. At this age, you should study seriously on campus instead of getting married and having children. The mortality rate of children at this age is extremely high, but who cares?

"Brother Wang in the village is very nice. I like him but don't want to marry him. I really like Brother Wang..."

"…………"

"Last month Guo Yuanwai came to our village and saw me and said that he wanted to take me as a concubine. I know that concubines have no status. Guo Yuanwai is forty years old like my father."

"…………"

"The village is poor, and Brother Wang's family is also very poor. Every year they don't have enough food to eat, they dig grass roots and scrape tree bark. It's different with Guo Yuanwai. His family can eat meat every day without worrying about starvation. Look at how fat Guo Yuanwai is, even though his concubine has no status. But I really don’t want to go hungry again!”

Yun'er was a little excited, and White Snake knew that she was just trying hard to prove that she was right.

"My parents didn't want me to be a concubine. I wanted to go, but they had no choice but to agree. Brother Wang was very sad."

"I'm going to get married the day after tomorrow..."

"White Snake, can you get me married..."

White Snake nodded.

The starry night was gorgeous, and on the hillside, the sound of sobbing could be heard far, far away...
