Gou Zai, a corpse sewn into a spirit in a mortuary during the Republic of China era, became a spirit

"..."

Looking at the incredibly excited radish, Xie An was speechless.

He originally planned to communicate and trade with the second snake through the carrot silk, after all... they were both skeletal creatures, and indeed belonged to the same species, so it wouldn't be a case of fratricide...

Now it's all good...

Xie An will never forget the suffocating oppression brought by that withered skeletal serpent.

Not only is it enormous, but it also has a penchant for cannibalism... and it's even unafraid of Maxim machine guns.

How terrifying must that be?

Xie An simply couldn't believe it...

Going to see this thing... I'm under a lot of pressure.

What if that giant skeletal snake wasn't full...

Thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

brush.

Xie An immediately glared at Luo Bosi, who sensed his displeasure and instantly stopped flailing her arms and legs, standing at attention without daring to move. Her jaw trembled, making a "crackling" sound, showing her nervousness and fear.

Seeing its obedient and frightened appearance, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little amused.

"What does Snake Brother want with me?"

Luo Bosi pointed at Xie An, then pointed towards the riverbank, and then joined her two fingers together.

It's roughly saying that Snake Brother Two was very satisfied with the deal he made with Xie An and wanted to continue the deal.

Xie An thought about it and realized that if he could establish a stable trading channel with Snake Brother, that would be a good idea.

Moreover, the large snake cannot cross the Qinghe River, so its safety is guaranteed.

Even so, Xie An did not intend to show himself.

After all, he had killed so many warlords and soldiers, and it would increase the risk if any outsiders found out.

"Alright, then I'll go see Snake Second Brother, but I'll just hide far away in the mountains and forests, and rely on you to relay the message."

Upon hearing this, Radish breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest to indicate that there was no problem.

Xie An no longer hesitated and quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

The military has substantial resources.

There were more than twenty rifles, several thousand rounds of ammunition, and three Colt pistols. In addition, there was a Maxim machine gun and two boxes of ammunition left.

As for the silver dollars... he also pulled out more than a hundred.

Logically speaking, these warlords and soldiers were used to plundering the people and were all quite wealthy. It's likely they left in a hurry and didn't have time to bring much money.

"One hundred silver dollars is not a small amount."

Xie An gathered up the more than twenty rifles, bullets, and several pistols scattered on the ground and tied them up with rattan. Then, carrying the Maxim machine gun, he walked towards the riverbank.

By now, it was already bright daylight. The mist in the forest had dissipated, and the bright sunlight shone down, turning the forest into a golden hue.

After walking about two miles, I could clearly feel that the humidity in the air had increased, and I had reached a point close to the banks of the Qinghe River.

Xie An immediately stopped and looked ahead from behind a small earthen mound. He saw a huge, withered skeletal snake lying on the surface of the river.

Perhaps because it had eaten and drunk its fill, the skeletal serpent lay on the water's surface, emitting a hoarse, satisfied whimper, while swaying its massive tail, stirring up the bloody water in the river.

It had devoured more than twenty live corpses, its blood staining a large area of ​​water red, with many bone fragments floating on the surface... yet the skeletal serpent was frolicking and playing within it...

Xie An pointed to the riverbank: "Go see that snake, and tell it I'm injured and can't move around easily. Ask it how it wants to trade with me... Also, feed the snake so well this time, try to make it show its sincerity."

Luo Bosi nodded in agreement, then turned and left.

Xie An hid behind the earthen slope, only peeking out half his head. He saw Luo Bosi rush to the riverbank. When the giant snake saw Luo Bosi from afar, it raised its huge head, flicked its pale tongue, and wagged its tail... seemingly welcoming Luo Bosi.

Xie An also saw it clearly... that was no ordinary snake tongue.

It's made up of hinged bones, similar to a spine... It looks pretty creepy.

When the radish reached the riverbank, it immediately began to dance and gesticulate wildly, its mouth opening and closing with a "click-clack" sound.

Xie An couldn't figure out how the two guys were communicating, but judging from the situation... they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Unable to reach the shore, the skeletal serpent swung its tail, splashing water and water plants onto Radish Silk, its mouth trembling as if teasing her.

Meanwhile, Radish picked up a stone from the riverbank and threw it at the giant snake. The snake twisted and turned to dodge, occasionally getting hit by the stone but not getting angry. Instead, it opened and closed its mouth even more, clearly chuckling.

Xie An: "..."

I only thought the radish was a bit silly before, but I didn't expect this fierce and violent snake... to look a bit silly too.

Watching the two immature guys playfully teasing each other, Xie An felt a sense of peace.

Even... a truly insane idea emerged:

Is it possible for me to... also subdue this giant skeletal serpent?

The skeletal serpent, fearless even by a Maxim machine gun, would be terrifying to anyone if I took it under my command... Taking out a small squad like Shen Qianjun's... wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

But he also knew that the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

To subdue this giant serpent... is extremely difficult.

Let alone whether the mountain demon spirit within him could suppress this giant serpent. Even if it could... with his current mental abilities, he wouldn't be able to control such a monstrous serpent.

Judging from the amazing feat of controlling Roberts before, controlling a ghoul relies on mental strength.

However, his current mental strength is not on the same level as Orochi's. If he rashly tries to take control, not only will he suffer a backlash, but he might also be in mortal danger.

Even if one cultivates to the level of Ming Jin, one's spiritual energy is still far from sufficient.

Eh...

Xie An suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"If you can't control the big ones, can you control the small ones? I'll have Radish ask Snake Brother Two if he has any snake eggs or disciples or anything like that."

"I wonder if this thing has snake eggs..."

Having made up his mind, Xie An cleared his mind of distractions and continued looking ahead.

The carrot and the giant snake played around for a while, tossing and shoving at each other. Finally, the giant snake used its tail to scratch the carrot's nose and then tossed her a bone as thick as an arm.

Luo Bo Si picked up the bone with both hands and hurriedly left the riverbank. Soon she arrived in front of Xie An and presented the bone with both hands.

Xie An took the bone and examined it carefully. The bone was the same as before, but it was more than twice the size. He roughly estimated that it contained more than ten kinds of corpse demon essence.

"What did the second snake brother say?"

Luo Bosi began to gesture wildly, while a mental connection was established:

This means that Snake Two was bored on the other side of the river and hadn't eaten fresh human flesh in a long time, so he was very satisfied with the food Xie An had arranged. He expressed his gratitude with a large bone and hoped that Xie An could regularly send people to the banks of the Qinghe River for Snake Two to enjoy. Snake Two responded with a bone in exchange.

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this information.

Hey, this big snake is actually quite polite.

The deal was good, but Xie An clearly had bigger ambitions. He immediately returned the bone to Radish: "Take this and give it back to Snake Boss Two. Ask him if he has any snake eggs, or other small bone snakes of his kind. If so, ask him if he can give me one. I'll bring him more food."
