Chapter 29: This dense forest is unusual

Chapter 29: This dense forest is unusual The moment he saw the giant python, Gu Heng was not actually panicked.

Because there is no need to panic.

It's just a snake!

This was just an ordinary python, only a little long and a little big. The snake's head looked almost half the size of his body. Perhaps the snake's body alone could crush him, but Gu Heng was also a mortal doctor who had been to the mountains and hunted, and was experienced and skilled.

Even Xiao Xi on his lap was very calm and didn't care at all. She was still touching her cat paws unscrupulously and showing off her nails.

Cats are not afraid of snakes, so how can a grown-up like me be afraid of snakes?

Although the snake did look like it could swallow him in one bite.

With a smile on his face, Gu Heng watched the giant python slowly swimming towards him. Its vertical pupils slowly opened and closed, and it spit out its tongue, making a hissing sound. Then Gu Heng discovered that the snake's breath was a bit heavy, and along with the sound came a strong earthy smell.

"Brother Snake, I've been gone for a whole day, can't you let me find some peace and quiet?"

Gu Heng spoke calmly, as if it was just a normal conversation, "It's hard for me to deal with you like this..."

"hiss--"

The giant python twisted its body and let out a low hiss. It raised its huge and ferocious head and spat out its tongue at Gu Heng. It was intelligent and could understand human language. Of course, this was also within Gu Heng's expectations. The wild cat he picked up could understand human language and read words. It shouldn't be surprising that the poisonous insects and beasts in these wild mountains and wildernesses had some intelligence, right?

Of course, if the snake insisted on eating him, Gu Heng would not sit there and wait for death.

Among the "gifts" given by the system, the Speed ??Boots are the most useful, and the second most useful one... is specially used to deal with wild beasts!

"An inch closer, and you'll die."

Su Jinxi raised her eyes lazily and stared at the giant python that was ready to move. With just a sound of voice, the giant python suddenly stopped moving.

Because along with Su Jinxi's telepathic thoughts came the mighty power in her eyes that was as surging as a landslide or tsunami. That fierce, violent, destructive aura made the giant python's entire body tremble, and it finally crawled down and huddled on the ground.

At that moment, the giant python even suspected that if it dared to move forward even a little bit, the power would be enough to tear it apart!

"Hiss."

The giant python shook its head uneasily and quickly retreated. The rustling sound of its wandering quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving only Gu Heng and Su Jinxi sitting there.

"Meow!"

Xiaoxi was very excited.

Well, that's great. It seems that this old snake brother doesn't eat mortals like him. It seems that what I said just now touched the heart of this snake.

Gu Heng felt the temperature of the fire and wondered whether he should hunt some wild animals to eat and try the taste.

"Xiao Xi, wasn't that snake just now very strange?"

Gu Heng touched the silver kitten's head and talked to himself, but he suddenly thought, it is strange that a snake can understand human language, so isn't it strange that the little wild cat on his leg can understand human language and words?

"The master has also noticed something is wrong..."

Su Jinxi looked at the direction where the giant python left and fell into deep thought.

Yeah, it's really strange.

Because she recognized what the monster was - a black-scaled earth python, a fourth-grade monster, equivalent to a cultivator who had just entered the Out-of-Body Stage. It was not a very powerful monster, but in her perception, the black-scaled earth python was close to the Spiritual Stage! But it could fight against a sixth-grade monster!

This is extremely abnormal, because a fourth-grade monster should not be so strong.

Unless... there is something weird about this place!

This isolated mountain, including its surroundings, is covered in dense forests and has thin spiritual energy, making it a barren wasteland. However, the fourth-grade monsters here are strong enough to fight against sixth-grade monsters. There must be something wrong!

"Could it be that the master has already discovered that there is a problem here?"

The more Su Jinxi thought about it, the more she felt that this person was a great man! There was something wrong with this lonely mountain, he must have seen it early on, otherwise why would he deviate from the main road, not enter the city, and have to stay in this desolate place for a night?

"You're interested too, right?"Gu Heng continued to touch Xiaoxi's head and talked to himself.

It's over. I was so bored that I told the cat these nonsensical things. If I had known earlier, I should have gone into the city and had a night tea in the market.

I just hope that this little wild cat who can understand human language will not think that its owner is mentally ill.

"Hmm? So the master has noticed that I am very interested in the strange phenomena here?"

Su Jinxi felt that she could not hide anything from him.

However, since it has been mentioned, why not... go and investigate, just in case we really gain something?

Thinking of this, Su Jinxi jumped off his legs. Seeing that Gu Heng didn't move, she tacitly allowed him to go and see what was going on in this lonely mountain!

Then she ran away quickly with her short legs, leaving Gu Heng with a furry back.

Gu Heng: "..."

Did this little guy go to the toilet?

Forget it, this is an isolated mountain anyway, and she can speak human language, so she will be back soon. If she can't come back, Gu Heng will also have a way to find her.

He lay there peacefully, and in the darkness of the dense forest, a new peeper appeared.

...

"Why is there someone here?"

In the dense forest, several figures gathered in the shadows of the deep forest, avoiding the moonlight and concealing their breath. Seaʀch* The Novelƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

We have to be careful and cautious because they have suffered losses here.

They looked at one of the few open spaces in the deep forest, where a young man had lit a bonfire, was sitting next to a bluestone, and was looking through a map.

Um?

What's going on?

There is a very strange black-scaled earth python around here! They were almost killed by the earth python two hours ago. They went down the mountain in a panic and dared to go up the mountain again after sunset, just to see if they could avoid the earth python monster.

"That damn snake is close to the level of Spirit Severing Stage. How can a mortal like him stay so peacefully on the Tomb Mountain?"

Someone in the group murmured.

They were originally casual cultivators, and they had some cultivation. All five of them were in the out-of-body stage. But with this lineup, it was really a bit beyond their capabilities to search for the "Emperor's Tomb" whose authenticity was unknown on the Tomb Mountain.

The leader actually learned from a certain Taoist priest that there were treasures in this mountain, and there might even be tombs of the most powerful people!

And they want it!

But forget about the treasures, they couldn't even deal with the black-scaled earth python roaming around the periphery, so they had to wait until late at night to see if they could sneak past.

But now, the one lurking on this open space was not the snake monster, but a mortal who had lit a bonfire.

"Why don't we just kill him? Otherwise, the news of the treasure here will spread out. If that happens, the five of us won't even have time to lick our soup bowls, let alone eat meat!"

"No! Don't you have a brain? We all have difficulty detecting the fluctuation of true energy from him. He is either a mortal or stronger than us. But how likely is it that a mortal would come to this burial mountain in the middle of the night?"

After the leader said this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, there are rumors about this place circulating in the villages, towns, and cities around the tomb mountain. It is said that some people came here to chop wood and collect herbs, but ended up being haunted by evil spirits or eaten by giant beasts. In short, once the rumors spread, mortals would definitely not have the courage to come here again.

It is also possible that some young people who just want to seek excitement and do not believe in superstition may come here.

If this young man is not a mortal, then he must be a cultivator who is stronger than the five of them. However, how much stronger is he?

"Damn, someone else must have heard about the treasure in the Tomb Mountain!"

Someone said viciously.

"He's the only one left now. I suggest we outsmart him and get rid of him first.""What do you think?"

Everyone exchanged glances in the dark, and they all agreed with this method. The young mortal, or monk, must be eliminated!

It's not for any other reason, just because he is in this mountain of burials. Now in this mountain, any outsider who has nothing to do with them must be killed upon sight.

If I don't kill him, won't the treasure be divided among others when it is found?

But if you want to kill, you have to use your wits.

...

Gu Heng was looking at the other end of the map with great interest, but at this moment, the rustling sound came from the woods again.

He rolled his eyes.

Could it be that the snake has come back again?

So Gu Heng put down the map, took out a golden disc from the system backpack, put it in his arms, and then shouted indifferently towards the dark forest: "Don't hide, I know you are there!"

His voice was so loud that it immediately woke up the silent forest.

However, it was not the giant python that responded, but a middle-aged man in dirty and old clothes who staggered out. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a sword hanging on his waist. His face was full of vigilance and fear, and it was obvious that he had suffered some kind of injury, which led to this state.

"Little brother, little brother! Don't be anxious, I'm not hiding on purpose."

When the middle-aged man saw Gu Heng raise his hands, a look of joy finally appeared on his face, and he hurriedly explained to Gu Heng.

"Who are you?"

Gu Heng frowned.

Are there other people in this desolate mountain?

"My name is Wang Qi, and I'm a hunter from the nearby Jingtou Village. I went into the mountains to hunt something to eat, but I didn't expect to run into a giant python. Several hunters who were traveling with me died. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go down the mountain."

Wang Qi said in a panic. He looked at Gu Heng's unfamiliar handsome face and remembered the terrifying power of the black-scaled earth python. More tension and fear appeared on his face.

"Oh? You also encountered the python?" Gu Heng asked puzzledly.

"Yeah." Wang Qi smiled bitterly.

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

Oh, it turns out that the giant python didn't eat him, it turned out that it was already full!

When he saw Wang Qi's appearance, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. Hunters like Wang Qi had to go up the mountain to make a living. Just like what Wang Qi mentioned just now, a hunter from the same village was eaten by a snake. He was very scared, but he didn't show much of a reaction, because he was used to it.

In this world, how easy is it for mortals to live a peaceful life?

Even he had to move to another place because of the bloody storm in Aoki City, didn't he?

Alas, we are in the same boat. We are in the same boat.

"Alas, these days are really hard. Come on, Brother Wang, this place is warmer. Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Gu Heng stirred the pile of firewood and motioned Wang Qi to sit down and warm himself by the fire.

"Thank you, little brother. You are so kind-hearted! But to be honest, the snake hit me with its tail, and now my chest and abdomen are still hurting."

Wang Qi quickly waved his hands to refuse, but then he sat down directly. His action made Gu Heng want to laugh. Although he said no, his body remained very obedient.

"If so, eat this."

Was he injured by the python? No problem, he is the best mortal doctor!

Even if he no longer had a clinic, he was prepared in case he encountered the dilemma of having to practice medicine on the road but having no medicine to use.

He took out a pill from the system backpack and handed it to Wang Qi.

But when Wang Qi saw the pill, he was stunned.
