The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 25 Snake Fighting
Looking up at the sword mound, Guan Yuan was in a good mood, and his swordsmanship level went up to a new level.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, he planned to get up and go down the mountain, and go back to his rented house first.Wait until tomorrow to come back to the valley and look around to see if you can find the Bossic Snake.

Because Guan Yuan was too excited, he couldn't forget Huashan Sword before going to bed.He thought about going up to the mountain to catch snakes tomorrow, and the moonlight imprint on his heart has the effect of detoxification. Once bitten by a poisonous snake, he would not be helpless, so he didn't do the daily compulsory moonlight training session, and went to bed early.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Guan Yuan first practiced Huashan swordsmanship in the courtyard, then packed some dry food and water bags, and equipment for sleeping in the open, and went to the valley where the sword tomb was located.This time, he planned to stay on the mountain for a few more days, firstly to look for the Bossic Snake, and secondly to find a secluded place to practice swords and consolidate his lower realm.

He first came to the cave where the bones were buried, then found another cave nearby, and put his belongings in it.A lot of stones were moved to serve as tables and chairs, and a flat ground was swept out to lay the bedding, even if it was officially moved in.

Tens of meters west of here, there is a turbulent stream, which is crystal clear.

Why didn't he live in the cave before? Guan Yuan still thinks it's better not to disturb the cleanliness of his predecessors.

After packing up the shelter and eating some dry food, it was already noon.Guan Yuan set off to search for traces of golden snakes throughout the valley. He had seen snakes sloughing out when he entered the valley before. There must be many Pusiqu snakes here.

It's a pity that I searched for two days and found nothing.At night, Guan Yuan sat by the campfire, wondering.

At this time, the twilight was deep, and the valley was completely empty, and even the sound of flowers falling could be heard.The wood burns and occasionally crackles, bringing the thoughtful Guan Yuan back to reality.

"By the way, I'm stupid too!" He stayed for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing. "It's not the start of the sting today, and the snakes are still hibernating, hiding deep in caves and crypts, so it's hard to find them!"

After figuring out the key here, Guan Yuan was also speechless for a while, it turned out that he came early.

So he was not in a hurry, and brought some food and clothing to the valley to practice Qi and sword every day. In this deep mountain and valley, he would have a new experience.Anyway, it was mid-March at this time, and the spring days were getting longer, and it was coming soon.

After living in the valley like this for almost half a month, suddenly one night, Guan Yuan was awakened by an earth-shattering thunder.

Rumbling thunder, from near to far, and then from far to near, echoed in the valley.Suddenly a white light flashed, and the whole valley was as bright as day for an instant, and then the light was swallowed by darkness again in a flash.Then there was a burst of muffled thunder.

Chunlei is followed by Chunyu.First there was a drizzle, rushing and dense, like a needle, falling from the sky and hitting the woods, making a rustling sound.After a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the beaten leaves swayed back and forth, as if the sky had been pierced.The water on the ground merged into streams, and thin mist rose from the woods, as if shrouded in light smoke.

Fortunately, Guan Yuan chose a good location for the camp, and the surrounding water was drained out.That night, he listened to the sound of rain and thunder in the cave, and couldn't fall asleep. The movement outside gradually subsided until dawn.

When the next day dawned, Guan Yuan walked out of the cave and looked around, the valley seemed to come alive overnight.The sound of birds and insects is endless, everything grows, and spring is full of vitality.The woods washed by the rain seemed to be much greener than when he first came here.

"When thunder is heard on the Waking of Insects Festival, the dormant overwintering insects will be awakened."

Guan Yuan knew that it was time to catch the snake.

Snakes that wake up from hibernation are usually very hungry, but they are also very vicious.Guan Yuan reminded himself to be extra careful, he brought a lot of iron pieces, and planned to use An Qingzi's technique to punch out strange snakes when he encountered them.

He searched carefully in the valley. Snakes are cold-blooded animals. After recovering from the state of hibernation, they need to gradually increase their body temperature to restore their physiological functions.So Guan Yuan searched in several open and shaded areas in the valley, where there can be a little sunlight, which is conducive to the recovery of the snake's body temperature.

While searching, Guan Yuan suddenly heard rustling in the grass in front of him.He walked around to look around, and sure enough, there was a strange snake about 4 feet long and black all over, swimming slowly past.I saw that the snake's scales were fine and dense, and some gold was faintly revealed all over its body.The head of the snake is slightly square, and there are meat horns on both sides of the top of the head. It is an adult Pusi snake.

As the snake was advancing, it suddenly stopped and looked in Guan Yuan's direction, obviously it had spotted him, and it was only a foot away.The snake coiled up slowly, raised its head, and slowly spit out snake letters, hissing.

Guan Yuan was a little afraid of the snake, but when he saw that he had missed his tracks, he didn't procrastinate. With a wave of his right hand, he shot three iron plates from a distance, and aimed straight at the snake's three-inch vital point.

The strange snake may have just woken up from hibernation, and it moved slowly. It was nailed to the ground and rolled back and forth.

After half a quarter of an hour, the strange snake stopped moving and fell on the ground.It's better for Guan Yuan to be careful, he patched another piece of iron and hit it on the snake's head, but there was no movement, he was indeed dead.

Guan Yuan was about to go forward to pick up the snake corpse, when suddenly a stench came over his face.He looked up, and there were three strange snakes swimming not far away, all about the same size, black with a little gold.

When snakes hibernate, they choose to hibernate in one place for safety, so when they wake up, several snakes wake up together.

These three should be in the same litter as the one that died on the ground, and when they saw their companion died on the spot, they immediately entered a state of alert.

Guan Yuan didn't dare to be careless, he jumped back hastily, and at the same time a handful of iron flakes swayed out like a sky full of stars.This time, he lost his aim in haste, and only killed one strange snake, the other two soldiers split into two groups, outflanking them from left and right.

He touched his back, but unfortunately he was too anxious just now and threw all the remaining iron pieces.He had no choice but to lift the Qiushui sword, hold it to his chest, and wait for the opportunity.

The strange snake on the left was the first to attack. First it bent its body, then jumped more than a foot high, and rushed straight to Guan Yuan's waist.Guan Yuan stabbed three inches straight with his sword, but the snake turned around in mid-air and dodged it.Seeing that he was about to get close, Guan Yuan swung the golden goose across the air, cut it in half with a sweeping sword, and avoided the snake's head's bite on his side.

The snake corpse was broken into two pieces and fell to the ground with two clicks.

Seeing the tragic death of his companion, the snake on the right did not dare to step forward for a while, and confronted Guan Yuan.Guan Yuan did not hesitate, took advantage of the victory and pursued him, nailed him to the ground with a single sword, then flew up and threw him in the distance.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind him. It turned out that another strange snake came up to him. With the dense leaves, it came around behind Guan Yuan. At this time, he jumped off the tree and rushed straight to Guan Yuan's back.
