As Long Xiao Yun was collecting hemostatic grass from the cliff, he suddenly heard someone shout for help. It turned out that an old man had injured his leg and was waiting for someone to come rescue him. This kind of good thing happened to Long Xiao Yun.

The Hanging Dragon's Roar was very steep. Not just anyone could climb it easily. Therefore, when Long Xiao Yun saw that strange old man, his first reaction was not to rush to save him, but to observe him carefully.

This old man dressed like a mountain villager, and he was also a bit sloppy. However, it just so happened that he had a white, fat body. Other than a bamboo basket for storing medicine, there was also a very large wine gourd. The gourd must contain good wine. Even without lifting the lid, one could smell the aroma of wine.

Obviously, this person was not a herb gatherer, but if he wasn't, what was he doing here?

"Young man, why are you still in a daze? Your parents didn't teach you to be willing to help others, to save the dying and help the injured? Quick, help me up! " The old man saw that Long Xiao Yun was looking at him suspiciously, so he quickly said something to divert Long Xiao Yun's attention.

"Oh, grandpa, please slow down!" Although Long Xiao Yun saw that something was off, he didn't point it out in front of him. If the other party really had something up his sleeves and it wasn't as though they were going to harm him, why would he bring trouble upon himself?

"Great sir, how did you manage to climb such a high cliff?" It's too dangerous! " Long Xiao Yun deliberately tried to beat around the bush, to see if he could get any useful information from it.

"Wasn't it because I wanted to gather herbs? Back then, I climbed this cliff that was ten times taller than this cliff. Now, I have no choice but to admit defeat!" The old man was very cautious, his words were watertight, and it was hard for Long Xiao Yun to hear anything.

"Oh, Great Master, are you from the Thousand Mountain Sect as well?" Long Xiao Yun asked tentatively.

"The Thousand Mountain Sect, you can say that! "He used to be a disciple of the Thousand Mountain School, but his cultivation level has never been raised, so when he grew older, he could only live in seclusion in the mountains, earning money with some herbs!" the old man replied.

Long Xiao Yun saw that the old man wasn't willing to reveal the truth and also didn't want to continue arguing, so he said to the old man: "Elder, you should rest first. I still have some hemostasis grass to find. If you're willing to wait, then wait for me to finish harvesting the hemostasis grass before sending you down, how about it?"

"Hemostatic Grass, this isn't easy to harvest. How much more do you need?" the old man asked as he glanced at Long Xiao Yun's bamboo basket.

"I need about thirty more, right?" Long Xiao Yun said as he scratched his head.

"Ah, thirty? Even if you pick until dark, you might not be able to finish the whole thing, but can't I wait that long? You can't leave! " The old man kept stopping him as if he was holding onto a dragon's roar.

"Then what do you want, sir?" Long Xiao Yun asked patiently. If the other party was a young man, Long Xiao Yun might have just run away.

"Take me down first, then you can go gather more herbs!" The old man firmly held onto Long Xiao Yun's leg. If Long Xiao Yun didn't agree, then he wouldn't let go.

"Ah, sending you down? I'm back to pick the herbs? " Long Xiao Yun was instantly angered to the point of fainting. This is a cliff, and not a flat road. When I came back, the sky had already darkened, so there was no time to pick herbs. "Uncle, are you trying to make things difficult for me? I'm in a hurry? "

"I don't care. I just want you to send me down first. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving?" The old man was still unrelenting and forced Long Xiao Yun into a passive position.

"What does this old man want to do?" [He clearly isn't a herb picker, yet he came to pick herbs and still insisted on me sending him down. Could it be that Wang Youcai and Long Xiaochuan purposely arranged him to make things difficult for me?] Wang Youcai was not that kind of childish person! Then who was he? "Why are you pestering me?" Long Xiao Yun could not understand, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he didn't know what to do.

"Young man, why don't you hurry up and send me down? "If this goes on, the sky will turn dark. Good people will be rewarded!" The old man held Long Xiao Yun's leg with one hand, took out his wine gourd with the other, and took a sip. How was this an injury? He was clearly here on purpose. Long Xiao Yun shook his head. He didn't think that he would run into someone who came to pick herbs.

"Alright, alright, I'll send you down first, okay?" Helpless, Long Xiao Yun could only send this strange old man off. As for the matter of gathering herbs, he could only come back and talk about it later. Thinking that he might not be able to sleep today, Long Xiao Yun felt extremely depressed. However, he couldn't just leave. If something really happened to this old man, he would be guilty!

Long Xiao Yun tied the old man to his back with a rope and then carefully climbed down. No matter how reluctant Long Xiao Yun was in his heart, he couldn't abandon this old man. This old man really knows how to enjoy himself. He wasn't worried at all that he would fall down. As he drank, he urged Long Xiao Yun to hurry up. I, Long Xiao Yun, was so angry that I wanted to cut the rope and throw him off.

He was halfway up the cliff when he heard a hissing sound from the other side. When Long Xiao Yun heard this, he immediately felt his scalp go numb. His limbs were weak, and he had a colourful, colourful snake that was as thick as a thigh that was carrying a crown on its head was swimming towards them.

This large snake was two zhang long. Its huge body clung to the almost vertical cliff, but it was as if it was walking on flat ground. Long Xiao Yun couldn't recognize what kind of snake it was, but it definitely harbored malicious intentions. If they were on flat ground, Long Xiao Yun could still use his full strength. With an old man on his back, Long Xiao Yun felt like crying.

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I reckon we're both done playing this game?" Long Xiao Yun said pessimistically.

When the old man saw the large snake, not only was he not afraid, but he was actually very excited. He shouted, "Golden Crown Flower Python, this is good stuff. Kid, we've struck gold!"

Long Xiao Yun wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. "Great sir, are you joking? We can't even protect ourselves right now, so we don't care what that is. How about I let you go, and you escape first? "

"Yoh, I didn't expect you to know how to respect your elders and to respect your children. Don't be afraid. With me here, this big snake will be unable to do anything to us." The old man took another sip of his wine.

"You must be joking, I'm here!" Long Xiao Yun exclaimed. Long Xiao Yun didn't know whether to run or not, so he was prepared to be bitten to death.

But suddenly, the Golden Crown Flower Python stopped mid-air, as if something had stopped it. When Long Xiao Yun looked carefully, he could see that it wasn't that the Golden Crown Flower Python had been blocked, but that it had been grabbed by two big, transparent hands.

Long Xiao Yun turned his head in excitement. "Mister, look …" He saw a look of disbelief in the old man's eyes. Long Xiao Yun was stunned, as if his hands were controlled by this old man.
