Volume 1: Wind Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 196: Big Snake
Hall Master Jiao's long knife stirred, and the branch above his head was broken into two pieces, followed by blood dripping, and the two snake bodies bent and rolled aside.
Meng Shan's expression changed, secretly thinking it was a fluke! If Hall Master Jiao hadn't taken action in time, he would have been bitten by a poisonous snake. The snake's body was as thick as a wrist, and it was coiled on a branch. You couldn't tell it apart unless you looked closely. [Search for the latest updates at.; "Draw out your sword and be careful!" Meng Shan no longer dared to be careless and reminded the disciples behind him. Before he finished speaking, there was a loud crackling sound from the branches behind him, and some disciples exclaimed, apparently encountering a venomous snake.
Hall Master Jiao looked solemn as he walked in front, swinging his long knife from time to time to cut off venomous snakes entangled in branches, or fly away venomous snakes hiding in the grass, letting Meng Shan and others who were following behind watch them, and chills ran down his back. gas.
"Ten years ago, there weren't so many venomous snakes on this road. What happened?" Hall Master Jiao slowed down, became more cautious, and led everyone forward step by step.
Everyone followed Hall Master Jiao inside for half an hour, but only walked two or three miles. At this time, the dense forest suddenly opened up. In front of the open space of several tens of feet, on a cliff, a waterfall fell into the deep pool below. There was a faint sound of roaring waves, which made people's ears buzz. ring.
Moist water vapor filled the air, and light smoke spread across everyone's cheeks. There was a hint of fishy smell in the coldness. There are scattered green and white wild flowers beside the pool, which makes the deep and cold scenery in front of you even more eerie.
"This is where it is. Disciples who are fetching water should move faster. We have to rush back before dark!" Hall Master Jiao also had sweat on his forehead and finally reached the place. This place has not changed much from ten years ago. The only difference is that the faint fishy smell in the air is unsettling.
Maybe it’s because of my age! Hall Master Jiao shook his head and put away his inappropriate thoughts.
Along the way, the disciples were also on tenterhooks. The short walk was frightening, and everyone felt relieved when they finally saw the pond.
The disciples walked to the edge of the pool one after another, and some of them had already laid down, scooped up the clear pool water and started drinking.
Huang Jiaqi and Yao Zi placed the ten or twenty water bags they carried with them on the edge of the pool. They were not in a hurry to fetch water. They knelt down like others and leaned into the pool. There were shocks and frights along the way. Everyone was sweating profusely and their mouths were dry. They drank water first before talking about anything else.
In a deep pool with a radius of more than ten feet, the waterfall falls and splashes like snowflakes, and endless ripples come in one after another. The coolness hits the face, making people feel indescribably comfortable. Huang Jiaqi's eyebrows were smiling. He opened his hands to scoop up the pool water, and when he was about to open his mouth to drink, he froze like a clay sculpture.
The pool of water in front of me actually surged up, and the pool of water bulged out into a large area.
Pool water leaked from the gap between Huang Jiaqi's fingers, and he didn't realize it, staring blankly at the strange sight in front of him. Immediately, Yao Zi beside him also noticed something unusual and his eyes widened.
The water in the pool was still bubbling up. After a while, the water surface suddenly opened, and a head the size of a millstone popped out. On the dark head, there were dense scales, and a pair of eyes the size of copper bells glowed with a silver-yellow cold light, looking at the Huang family and Qi in an eerie manner.
"monster--!"
Huang Jiaqi was inexplicably horrified, yelled, and sat down on the ground in fright.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yao Zi retreated with a look of horror on his face.
Maybe it was Huang Jiaqi's scream that alerted the monster in the pond. The monster with a head as big as a millstone suddenly came out of the water, with a body as thick as a bucket, rolling the pond water with a loud sound and splashing water.
The incident happened so suddenly that most of the disciples at the edge of the pond had no time to dodge, until the pond water splashed all over their heads and faces. Then they all turned pale with fright, turned around and ran away. Hall Master Jiao and Meng Shan were also caught in front of them. The sudden monster was petrified.
"This is an anaconda! Back away!" Hall Master Jiao woke up quickly and shouted loudly.
After Huang Jiaqi screamed in surprise, he rolled and crawled back, but suddenly felt a fishy wind coming from behind him——
"help me--!"
The shouts stopped abruptly, and the big snake leaned out of the pool. As fast as lightning, it bit Huang Jiaqi's body and raised it high.
Huang Jiaqi could no longer make a sound, and his limbs were struggling in mid-air.
"Help—!"
Meng Shan roared loudly, rising up like a magpie, leaping to the edge of the pool in one step, and struck the big snake's body from the air with an overwhelming palm force.
The big snake bit Huang Jiaqi in its mouth. Its body was more than ten feet high out of the water, and it was shaking its head to swallow the delicious food in its mouth.
Meng Shan's palm from the air hit the big snake seven inches below the neck. With its hard scales, the snake was not damaged at all, but Meng Shan's strong palm force still caused its body to tremble violently.
The big snake was frightened and angry. It shook its head violently, and the object in its mouth was thrown to the cliff with a 'bang'——
Without saying a word, Huang Jiaqi was thrown red and white, and fell into the pool with the waterfall. The snow-like water splashes suddenly turned red.
Seeing his disciple falling to death in front of his eyes, Meng Shan's beard and hair burst out, and before he reached the edge of the pool, he suddenly struck out with his second palm.
The remaining disciples were still in shock, but they saw that their fellow disciples died in an instant, with Meng Shan leading the way. No one thought about it anymore, they all drew out their swords and surrounded the pool with gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Hall Master Jiao was so anxious that he stamped his feet and shouted: "Don't get close, stay away from the pool——"
Damn it, when did such a big snake come to this pool! When Hall Master Jiao saw that his disciples were not retreating, he had no choice but to run over with his long sword in hand.
The big snake twisted its thick body in the pool, turning the water upside down, causing Elder Meng's second palm strike to miss. It aimed at Meng Shan, hissed loudly, opened its bloody mouth, and attacked with a fishy wind.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Shan used both palms, exerted 120% of his palm power, and hit it hard.
With a loud "bang", the snake's head was crushed by the fierce palm power and paused for a moment. But Meng Shan's arms shook violently, and an unparalleled force came, and his blood and qi surged. He stepped back four or five feet before he could stand.
"Puff" a mouthful of blood spurted out, Meng Shan's face flushed, his eyes widened, and his face was full of horror.
The big snake paused, and then leaned over the shore, and then the four or five feet long body coiled up, jumped out of thin air, and rushed straight towards Meng Shan.
The palm just now shook his internal organs, and Meng Shan had suffered serious internal injuries. His arms trembled and his steps were light. Seeing the big snake becoming more ferocious, he couldn't help but secretly complain.
At this time, on the beach more than two miles away, Li Caiyi and Shi Jian had picked up a pile of dead firewood and lit a bonfire.
Hongan's men caught sea fish on the beach.
Zhen Yuanzi and his apprentice also came to the island. Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng also learned to fish on the beach.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the beach golden. The dusk on the sea is particularly beautiful!
Zhen Yuanzi shook the wine pot in his hand and smiled proudly at Lin Yi.
"I found another pot of wine, which will be served with seafood later. In addition, the sea breeze in front of us is gentle and the scenery is pleasant. It's really fun! Beautiful!"
Lin Yi smiled and was about to answer, but his expression changed.
Zhen Yuanzi was also stunned when he saw this. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Lin Yi suddenly stand up and leap into the air. Then he let out a long whistle. His figure was as fast as a startled wild goose. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the jungle.
