Chapter 9 The Gaze of the Snake Demon

The young officer held his breath, which was not difficult because he had forgotten how to breathe.

The bald man smiled at him for a while, and found that it had no effect, so he retreated behind the tree. Soon, another face appeared behind the tree. The officer recognized this person. This was an old soldier assistant he brought with him. Although he could not remember his name, his appearance was correct. The only strange thing was that he was also smiling and nodding, without any majesty of the Xuanfu Army.

The officer still did not move, and the face behind the tree kept changing, as if he had to use this method to attract him.

Before, the officer abandoned the soldiers and fled alone, and did not see the scene of the fight, but he was very sure at this time that only heads were left of these faces that laughed at him.

When the officer thought of more than a dozen lonely heads smiling at him in turn, his patience was over, and he screamed and fell down. The chestnut horse was startled, jumped a few steps, and stopped again. It did not notice the danger at all.

The scream woke everyone up. Xiaoqiu and Fangfang's heads collided with each other, and they both screamed at the same time in pain.

The teenagers were in a mess, and they were dizzy for a while before they saw the officer who was still screaming.

The heads that appeared in turn finally lost their patience. The manipulators behind them showed their true colors. Two or three feet high, the huge snake head was suspended in the air, and the two yellow eyes as big as lanterns flashed coldly.

This time there were no Xuanfu soldiers fighting in the front. The snake demon seemed to know that this was a group of humans with little combat power. It slowly lowered its altitude and looked at them one by one.

The young officer finally stopped screaming, and fainted for the third time in less than a day.

The teenagers in Yelin Town had run away twice before, but this time under the direct gaze of the snake demon, their legs seemed to be frozen, and they couldn't move at all. They could only stand there obediently, and the extreme panic caused their brains to be numb.

The snake demon crawled around the boys, stopped when it was almost connected head and tail, and circled them in its body, then continued to stare at the humans, spitting out long snake tongues at each of them, as if looking for something.

The boys were able to speak, and Erliang first thought of a possibility, and said in a trembling voice: "It ate enough during the day, and now it is surrounding us and keeping us as breakfast."

This scene scared everyone. Lengzi was a little fatter than others, and was particularly scared when he heard this. He leaned close to Ershuan, "What should we do? Otherwise, let's hand over your chestnut horse.

The snake demon was not interested in larger food. The chestnut horse was circled outside. It ran a little further, sniffing everywhere to find grass. It did not abandon its owner, but it did not think about saving its owner.

Ershuan swallowed dryly, hid the long sword behind him, and whispered: "Find the right opportunity, run if you can."

Looking at the snake body that was taller than themselves in the night, the boys couldn't think of how to have a chance to escape.

"It's catching prisoners. "Xiao Qiu suddenly had an idea.

The snake demon's huge head gradually drooped, and finally it was only a few feet from the ground. Its eyes were parallel to the boys, and it made a hissing sound from its mouth, as if it was giving some kind of order.

Xiao Qiu took a step, and the boys gathered together nervously, but they also admired it in their hearts.

"I." Xiao Qiu looked into the snake demon's huge round eyes, trying not to blink, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the officer who fainted not far away, "Wake him up, and then we will go with you."

The snake demon blinked, as if trying to understand what the little human said,

and then nodded, and actually understood.

Lengzi held Ershuan's arm, "What does Xiao Qiu mean? Go with it? Where are we going? "

Er Shuan broke free from Lengzi's hand, winked at his companions, signaling them not to be afraid, Xiao Qiu had his own ideas.

Xiao Qiu slowly walked towards the officer.

The officer just fainted near the middle of the snake demon's body. Xiao Qiu turned his back to the snake's head, knelt on the ground and pushed hard.

The officer slowly opened his eyes, first looked at Xiao Qiu blankly, then found the huge and slippery snake body beside him, sat up, opened his mouth and screamed again.

Xiao Qiu covered the officer's mouth with one hand, "Don't scream, what's the use?"

The officer's eyes were wide open, and he nodded reluctantly.

The officer nodded again.

"Can you stand up?"

The officer still nodded.

Xiao Qiu moved his hand covering his mouth, and with his other hand, he stuffed a stack of paper talismans to the officer.

The officer was stunned and understood Xiao Qiu's intention. He finally got back his protective paper talisman, but he didn't have the courage to use it, "My leg..."

Xiao Qiu helped the officer stand up, grabbed his shoulders and shook him twice, "Are you feeling better? Can you walk? "

The officer nodded first, then shook his head, not even daring to look at the snake demon.

Xiao Qiu really wanted to beat the officer up like Er Shuan. As a member of the Xuan Fu Army, he was stern and cold when facing prisoners, but he was scared like a sheep when he needed to take the lead. He was even worse than the most timid teenager in Ye Lin Town. Fang Fang was a girl, but she was not as incompetent as him.

The snake demon's head moved over and stopped a few feet away to observe the two humans. The officer was so scared that he was about to collapse again. Xiao Qiu supported him and then tried to block him in front as much as possible to prevent the snake demon from seeing the pile of paper talismans.

"If you can't move, I'll have to give you to it to fill its stomach first." Xiao Qiu said, secretly holding the dagger in his right hand. He was not so scared when he had no way to go. Anyway, he would not sit and wait for death.

The officer regained his composure after extreme panic, "I can move now, don't, don't give me to it. "

Xiao Qiu took a step forward, facing the snake head that was taller than him, and shouted: "Where are we going? Are we leaving now?"

The snake head slowly rose, and stopped when it rose to a height of more than ten feet. It looked down at the tiny human, and a green light flashed strangely in its lantern-like yellow eyes, moving from left to right and quickly disappearing. Then, it opened its mouth, revealing long fangs and an unfathomable black hole.

"What is it doing? Isn't it trying to capture prisoners?" Xiao Qiu asked in confusion.

The officer was the only one who knew a little about the demons, and the courage he had just gathered was about to get away. "It's not going to take us away, it's going to absorb the essence of humans to cultivate its demon body, so it wants us all to live, because only living people..."

He couldn't continue, and he wished he could faint again so that the snake demon would not be interested in him.

Xiao Qiu was actually very scared, but this fear did not make him lose his courage. Instead, he gave birth to a desperate fighting spirit. He suddenly pulled out his dagger, shouted loudly at the black hole above his head, and took a stance to prepare to meet the enemy.

The snake demon was unmoved. The more lively the prey, the better the effect of cultivating the demon body.

Xiaoqiu's brave action was an inspiration to the trapped teenagers. Ershuan raised the long sword behind him with both hands, took a big step and rushed towards the nearest snake body, shouting louder than Xiaoqiu.

Ershuan slashed the snake with a sword, hoping to open a passage. With a bang, the sharp talisman sword did not cut off even a scale, but was bounced into the air and fell heavily to the ground. Ershuan had his own fierceness. Without a weapon, he pounced on the snake body and opened his mouth to bite.

The snake demon didn't care about such an attack. He ran towards the nearest human with his mouth wide open.

The black hole was getting closer and closer, and Xiaoqiu was still shouting loudly. Behind him, the officer finally gathered enough courage and raised his right hand upwards, "Wheel Slash!"

A wheel-like white light flew up from the officer's hand at a high speed and rushed straight to the snake demon's yellow eyeball.

This was not a powerful blow from a small town boy, but a powerful force from the first-class paper talisman of Xijie Country. The snake demon obviously did not expect this move, and the snake head swung to let the light pass.

Xiaoqiu did not expect this, but felt that the officer's move was too fast and not accurate. More than ten paper talismans were sent out, but only raised the snake head a little higher, and did not hit it at all.

"Hit the snake body! Hit the snake body!" Xiaoqiu reminded loudly, but the officer was like crazy and could not stop at all. It was not until his hands were empty that he looked at Xiaoqiu with a stabbed mouth, "No, no."

The snake demon was angry, and the snake head shook twice in the air, and suddenly swooped down, intending to make a quick decision.

At the same time, Xiaoqiu also made a move, pounced on the snake, and stabbed it hard with a dagger tightly. Knowing that this move was useless, he still refused to give in.

Puff!

This stab was beyond everyone's expectation, and it actually penetrated the scales and pierced into the snake body.

The snake demon was even more surprised. Although the dagger was not long, it was a little afraid. The snake head rose again, and the body swayed violently, throwing Xiaoqiu and the dagger out together.

"Yes, use the dagger! Use the dagger! This is a treasure that has killed monsters." The officer shouted, just remembering that the dagger was his own thing, a magical thing with a long history. While talking, he ran back with his hands and feet, hoping to stay away from the snake head.

Xiaoqiu got up from the ground, and his attack was effective. He became more courageous and rushed forward again with a loud shout.

Ershuan behind was stunned for a while, ran a few steps, picked up the long sword on the ground, and also shouted loudly, following Xiaoqiu to attack the snake head. ． ｋａｎｈｃｏ

The desire to compete for the position of the leader of the young people in Yelin Town overwhelmed all fears. Even if there was a deep abyss in front, Ershuan would jump down without hesitation.

The other teenagers also shouted, but they still didn't dare to move. They cheered without reservation, and several people's faces turned red but they refused to stop.

The sharp voices merged into one, and there was a bit of high-pitched momentum. The snake demon on the opposite side seemed to be intimidated. Its two yellow eyes retracted several feet, and then quickly changed direction, and it seemed to want to escape.

Xiaoqiu and Ershuan were more confident. They didn't think that the snake demon that ten Xuanfu soldiers couldn't beat would be afraid of two children. Instead, they sped up and chased after it.

The snake demon really wanted to escape, and it fled in a panic. It circled around a big tree. The snake body, which was almost as thick as the tree trunk, was like a moving hill. It slid past the two brave teenagers, and finally swept the tip of its tail and slapped them more than ten steps away.

Xiaoqiu felt something fall into her arms, so she hugged it. When she looked down after it landed, it turned out to be the bald man's head, with a funny smile on his face. Xiaoqiu's hair stood on end, and she instinctively threw the last part of the bald man backwards.

Xiaoqiu and Ershuan were knocked away so easily, and the shouts of the teenagers became weaker. Only then did they suddenly realize that someone else had scared away the snake demon.

"Ding..."

The sound of a copper bell suddenly rang, and a beam of light fell obliquely from the sky, landing between the snake demon and the teenagers. The light dissipated, revealing a person, a person that all the teenagers recognized except Fangfang and the officer.
