After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 148: What’s the origin of that eagle?
The fog was so thick that it was impossible to tell the direction in the valley.

If we retreat now, we may not be able to really retreat, and we may be ambushed by He Shiwu in the woods.

It would be safer to stay by the pond.

The terrain here is open, with water on one side, so even if we are attacked by surprise, we can still maneuver.

"Where did this fog come from? It's so strange!"

The two were only one or two meters apart, but they could no longer see each other and could only hear each other's voices.

"Who knows?"

Qinzhou's voice came, "A long time ago, I heard people say that there was often heavy fog in the Mixian Valley. Maybe it was caused by the special geographical structure. There is a lot of water vapor in the cave, which easily forms fog. When the wind blows, the fog comes out..."

It's hard to tell whether this old man really understood or was just pretending to understand. He talked a lot of nonsense, and it didn't sound completely unreasonable.

Today's weather is not sunny and it's overcast. It's normal to have fog in the mountains. And with the strong wind, the fog came out.

But I don’t know when it will end?
At this time, it was already 4:20 in the afternoon. If it continued for a few hours, it would be dark.

It is even more dangerous to stay in the valley at night.

Chen Yang held a dagger in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

After waiting for about ten minutes, He Shiwu still didn't show up.

Chen Yang said, "How about we go in again and try again?"

"The fog hasn't cleared yet, are you crazy?"

Qinzhou said angrily, "You went in knowing there was danger, isn't that courting death?"

Chen Yang said, "What I mean is, it doesn't dare to attack me, but it dares to attack you, so we might as well use you as bait..."

"Get out of here."

Qinzhou was extremely angry.

Bad idea, this is definitely a bad idea.

At least that's the case for Qinzhou.

The old man just survived a dangerous situation, how could he dare to take risks at this time?

They are using me as bait. It was an accident that I was able to escape before. If I go in again now, I’m afraid I’ll be eaten up.

Chen Yang took a deep breath. He knew that it was a bit difficult for him, but he didn't force it. He could only wait.

"Hiss..."

From the surrounding fog came a sound that made one's bones numb and one's back feel cold.

There was a rustling sound, something was approaching.

Moreover, there are quite a few.

Qinzhou's face changed slightly, he stood up and ran towards the raft.

He opened his backpack, took out a packet of realgar powder, and quickly sprinkled it around.

snake!
There were many snakes gathering towards their location.

The fog was so thick that they couldn't see anything clearly and could only hear sounds.

After a while, my ears were filled with rustling sounds.

From time to time, there were splashing sounds coming from the pond.

Some came out of the woods, and some came out of the pond.

Chen Yang and his friends had no way of estimating how many there were, but they were surrounded by the sounds of snakes spitting out their tongues and making angry growls.

Extremely scary.

Qinzhou's forehead was covered with sweat, his scalp felt tingling, and he was extremely nervous.

Fortunately, the area was sprinkled with realgar powder, so the snakes did not dare to approach and just wandered around.

However, it is not certain how long this realgar powder can last.

"Whoosh!"

A black shadow broke through the air and instantly landed on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang only felt a chill on his shoulder, as if someone had touched him with a hand.

Turn around and look.

It was a coral snake as thick as a baby's arm.

"Ho!"

The smell of realgar on Chen Yang made it feel very uncomfortable. The coral snake immediately showed its fangs and bit Chen Yang's neck fiercely.

"Grass!"

Chen Yang reacted quickly. He reached out and grabbed its head and pulled it off his body.

With the other hand, he grabbed its tail and gave it a sharp tug.

The highly poisonous coral snake was immediately broken into two pieces.

The blood mixed with intestines and stomachs was scattered all over the ground.

Chen Yang casually threw it into the pool next to him.

At the same time, Qinzhou encountered the same situation.

What flew onto him was a five-step snake.

It is also highly poisonous.

It suddenly bumped into his arms, which scared him, but he reacted quickly. Before the five-step snake could move its mouth, he picked it up and threw it to the ground. With a wave of the pipe in his hand, he smashed its triangular head into pieces.

"Chen Yang, be careful, these things can fly." Qin Zhou reminded.

"Ah."

Although Chen Yang is immune to snake venom, it still hurts if he is bitten by these things.

Snake, fly?
It is impossible for them to fly. Even if you use your butt to think, you can guess that they must have been catapulted over with the help of nearby trees.

The ground is covered with realgar powder and we can't break through, so we'll take the aerial route.

Chen Yang couldn't help but frown, he realized a key point.

This was an organized and disciplined attack.

I came here completely for them.

So, what is behind this?
Originally, he thought it was a king cobra, but obviously the king cobra did not have the ability to control a group of snakes.

Later, he thought that it was the crested snake, an A-level beast, that had given birth to a spiritual being, and it should be easy for it to control these snakes.

However, the crested snake had already been killed by himself.

Could it be He Shiwu?

How can it be?

He Shiwu is just a plant, how can it command a group of snakes of different genera?
That means there is indeed some mysterious existence in this rice noodle ditch.

Another crested snake? Or, some other snake?
Just thinking about it.

Several more snakes shot out from the thick fog.

As expected, the snakes were unable to cross the barrier created by realgar powder, so they began to climb up the trees in the nearby woods.

It came to the top of a branch, bent its body, and using the advantage of its high altitude, it shot down. Although the force was not great, it could still shoot two or three meters away.

Two or three meters is enough to reach Chen Yang and the others.

Chen Yang swung his knife in the air, chopping up the flying poisonous snakes.

He leaped to the edge of the woods and cut down the trees near the pond.

Many poisonous snakes surrounded him and attacked him madly.

Chen Yang didn't care at all. He chopped down the trees at the edge of the forest, making a large open space. Then he turned around and rushed into the pile of snakes, chopping with his knife.

"Pfft, pfft..."

The smell of blood spread along with the thick fog around the pond.

Qinzhou only saw a figure swaying in front of him and knew it was Chen Yang.

So fierce?
He had only heard about Chen Yang's battle against the snake group from Lei Anton, and he felt that it was exaggerated and overstated.

But now I realize that the information I got from Lei Anton seems to be too conservative.

Diving directly into the pile of snakes and fighting, this is so fierce that it cannot be described.

At least, Qinzhou wouldn't dare to be so reckless.

The snake's blood splattered onto Qinzhou's face. The fishy smell made him feel nauseous and he quickly hid backwards.

At this time, the fog was so thick that he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He was really afraid that Chen Yang would accidentally chop him.

"Ding! Hunted 1 B-level snake [Bamboo Leaf Green Snake], gained 100 experience points."

"Ding! Hunted 1 B-level snake [Golden Ring Snake], gained 100 experience points."

"Ding! Hunted 1 B-rank snake [Black-banded Snake], gained 100 experience points."

……

In my mind, system prompts kept ringing.

Although the thick fog obscured Chen Yang's vision and he could not see clearly, he gained something every time he swung his sword.

I did get bitten a few times on my body, but they were nothing serious.

Based on my last experience, I just needed to apply some gold medicine on the wound afterwards.

"Old man Qin, pay attention to your surroundings. Be careful of sneak attacks from Polygonum multiflorum." While fighting with the group of snakes, Chen Yang did not forget to remind Qin Zhou.

"Chirp!"

Just at this moment, an eagle's cry suddenly came from the sky.

High-pitched, piercing, and covering the entire area.

Suddenly, the group of snakes seemed to have received some kind of instruction and stopped attacking Chen Yang.

Then, like the tide, it quickly receded.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment.

The bright red snake blood dripped down the blade, and the surrounding area was filled with the corpses of poisonous snakes.

There was an indescribable fishy smell in the air.

The smell of blood, accompanied by the stench of snakes, is disgusting.

"Chirp!"

There was another loud eagle cry, and the sound quickly faded away.

Chen Yang's eyebrows were tightly locked together.

As soon as this eagle came out, the snakes retreated?
"Old man Qin, is he dead?" Chen Yang shouted.

"Can't die."

Qinzhou's voice came.

Chen Yang walked over following the sound, "Did you hear the eagle cry?"

"heard it."

Qinzhou sat on the raft, holding a dagger in his hand, the blade also covered in blood.

Next to him, there were several dead poisonous snakes scattered around. It wasn't like he had just done nothing.

Chen Yang asked, "What's the origin of that eagle?"

"How should I know? Ahem..."

Qinzhou gasped for breath and coughed up a mouthful of phlegm, which he spat into the pool of water beside him with a hissing sound.

"do not know?"

There was a flash of surprise in Chen Yang's eyes.

His intuition told him that Qinzhou was hiding something from him.

Chen Yang asked, "Is it possible that the eagle is behind the snake group?"

"Ah."

Qin Zhou laughed, "They are of different species and speak different languages, how can we control them?"

What the hell, we can’t communicate in the same language!
Chen Yang thought about it and came up with a possibility.

Eagles are the natural enemies of snakes, and that eagle had been catching snakes in the valley.

Could it be that the being behind the snakes was being targeted by the eagle?

Therefore, the snakes will retreat in time.

Just as Chen Yang was thinking, the thick fog around him gradually dissipated.

The white mist gradually faded, and with a strong wind, it disappeared completely after a few minutes.

At that moment, the two felt as if their cataracts had been cleared.

It feels so good to be able to see things.

The pond was still the same pond, but there were many dead snakes scattered around it, some broken into two pieces, and some broken into three or four pieces.

Some were already dead, while others were still alive, dragging their bodies and struggling in the blood.

Intestines and stomachs, covered in blood, were scattered all over the ground.

Fishy and smelly.

There were many fallen trees scattered around the edge of the forest, all of which had just been cut down by Chen Yang.

A total of 72 poisonous snakes were killed.

Gain 7200 experience points.

It’s a pity that the snakes ran too fast, otherwise, with Chen Yang’s bravery, he would have obviously killed more than just this few.

The surrounding woods were quiet.

The wind blew, but the ripples in the pond remained the same, as if nothing had happened.

Time: 5:08 pm.

There are still at least two more hours until dark.

"Do you still want to go in?" Chen Yang asked.

Qinzhou frowned and hesitated.

I feel unwilling not to go in, but if I do, I'm afraid of encountering danger.

What if there is heavy fog again?
"go!"

Qinzhou seemed to have made up his mind. He pushed the raft into the water again and jumped directly on it.

Chen Yang thought that when he said "leave", he meant leaving the valley, but he didn't expect that the old man was quite courageous.

It's actually worth risking your life for a treasure that doesn't exist.

Now that we're here, how can we not go in?
Even if you know there is danger, you have to go.

……

This time, Chen Yang was asked to sit in the front of the raft.

The two followed the current and paddled towards the cave again.

There was still some residual fog in the cave, but it quickly dissipated with the wind.

Chen Yang held a high-intensity flashlight in his hand and shone it back and forth on the wall of the cave.

No Polygonum multiflorum was found, but a group of sleeping bats were startled.

……

Twenty minutes later, the two successfully entered the snake cave.

There were no more accidents on the road.

There are no snakes in the snake cave.

Not a single snake was seen.

The snake corpses hunted by Chen Yang last time have also disappeared.

A strange look flashed across Chen Yang's eyes.

There were hundreds of dead snakes, all piled up in such a small stone cave. When they left, they didn't take anything with them.

How could it disappear in just a few days?
"what happened?"

Qinzhou saw his strange expression and asked quickly.

Chen Yang explained the situation to him.

Qin Zhou also frowned, "Is it possible that it was done by the Polygonum multiflorum plant?"

This is not impossible.

After all, He Shouwu likes blood food.

No one would be so bored as to come here to collect the bodies of these snakes, right?
A sly smile appeared on Chen Yang's lips.

He Shiwu is nearby, so that makes things easy.

The two of them quickly climbed up to the cave where the treasure was discovered earlier. Qinzhou searched up and down in it, inside and out. He looked so careful, as if he didn't want to miss a single inch of it.

The three wooden boxes were still there, and there was a faint smell of mold in the air.

"I told you, we don't have what you're looking for!"

Chen Yang folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and watched him work leisurely.

"That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense."

Qin Zhou shook his head repeatedly and murmured, "Could it be that the thing is not here? Did they hide it somewhere else?"

If it weren't for his limited physical strength, he would even want to dig the cave three feet deep into the ground.

After coming out of the cave, he checked other slightly larger entrances in the snake cave, but found nothing again.

Qinzhou stood in the snake cave in a daze with a gloomy face, as if he was thinking about what went wrong.

"Are you still looking?" Chen Yang was a little impatient.

Qinzhou came back to his senses, "Chen Yang, show me what's in Blind Pang's tomb."

Since this treasure was hidden by Chen Antai and Blind Pang together, then the things in Blind Pang's tomb should contain clues.

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "We agreed that you can only give you the things after you finish my business."

Qin Zhou blew his beard and said, "What are you waiting for? It's almost dark."

To be honest, it doesn’t matter whether it is dark or not. It is dark in this cave and the light is not very good.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Zhou urged immediately.

He now urgently wants to get what is in Chen Yang's hand in order to locate the exact whereabouts of the treasure.
