anyway.

Shen Shuli wanted to put the snake king into the space for careful study.

Even if she was mistaken, this was still a super snake king worthy of research.

If I give it to Mu Wanjun for research, she will definitely be very happy.

If it really is a dragon...

Then it has more research value!

Who doesn’t want to see in person the legendary dragon-like snake that can transform into a dragon?

Even though Shen Shuli was very fast, it still took her half an hour to weld the iron cage.

Xie Chengyuan was still fighting fiercely with the Snake King.

She quietly approached the snake king's position and carefully observed the situation.

...

...

Xie Chengyuan shot several arrows into the snake king's neck.

But the thickness of the snake king's scales was far beyond Xie Chengyuan's expectations, and these arrows did not cause any harm to it at all.

Instead, it angered the snake king.

The snake king was unable to fly into the air and fight with Xie Chengyuan in mid-air, but its front body stood up to five meters tall!

You can imagine how long the bodies tangled together behind it are!

This king snake is not only extremely thick, but also extremely long!

It definitely exceeds the record for the longest python on the blue planet in the previous life!

But Shen Shuli was right behind the snake king and couldn't see whether there were really two claws on the snake king's abdomen.

But such a huge snake made her even more interested!

Xie Chengyuan didn't expect that the snake king could stand so high, and he had a deeper understanding of its huge size.

The big knife in his hand could not cause any damage to the giant snake's scales or break its defense.

He was feeling particularly heavy-hearted at the moment.

This snake king is the most difficult enemy he has ever encountered!

Who would have thought that his strongest enemy would be a snake!

Xie Chengyuan channeled his internal energy into the sword, preparing to unleash his ultimate move.

The big snake was obviously also angered by Xie Chengyuan.

It opened its huge fangs and sprayed a stream of liquid directly towards Xie Chengyuan.

Xie Chengyuan quickly dodged.

The giant snake's tail, which had been hidden in the dark and had never been used before, suddenly emerged from behind Xie Chengyuan and swung towards him fiercely.

"Watch out! Its tail is behind you!"

Shen Shuli was so frightened that her pupils could not help but shrink, and she quickly warned Xie Chengyuan!

now.

Shen Shuli no longer wants to tame this snake king!

She didn't want to see Xie Chengyuan get hurt at all!

She immediately took out a rocket launcher from space and was about to shoot at the snake king's head.

The snake king was startled by Shen Shuli's loud shout. Its original attack suddenly stopped and it immediately turned to look at Shen Shuli behind it.

After hearing Shen Shuli's warning, Xie Chengyuan immediately flew away from his previous position.

Seeing that Xie Chengyuan's eyes were not on the Snake King for the time being, Shen Shuli immediately tried to put the Snake King into the space!

If it doesn’t work!

Even if she exposes her secret, she must kill the Snake King immediately with a rocket launcher!

Otherwise the snake king will attack her!

“Wow!”

Fortunately, Shen Shuli successfully put the snake king into the iron cage in the space!

Shen Shuli was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, soaking her entire back with sweat.

The volume of the iron cage is 10 meters × 10 meters × 10 meters, but after the snake entered the iron cage, it actually occupied the bottom one-third of the space!

What surprised Shen Shuli the most was that this was actually a huge white snake that was completely snow-white and had no impurities!

It's so beautiful!

She looked carefully and found that the snake really had a sharp horn on its head!

But the big white snake was obviously stressed at this moment. Its head and tail kept hitting and banging the iron cage, trying to escape from it.

Before she could carefully observe whether there were really claws on the snake's belly, Xie Chengyuan's voice appeared in her ears.

Shen Shuli's consciousness quickly withdrew from the space.

"Ari, were you hurt by the snake king? Why is the snake king gone?!"

Xie Chengyuan saw Shen Shuli lying on the ground motionless, her breathing became extremely weak, and her face suddenly turned pale with fear!

He didn't have time to think about why the snake king suddenly disappeared. He quickly picked up the person in his arms and flew away from here to a relatively safe place.

Shen Shuli opened her eyes and found herself lying in Xie Chengyuan's arms.

Her head was pressed against his chest, and she could hear his violently beating heartbeat.

"I'm fine." Shen Shuli said quickly, leaving his arms and standing up.

Xie Chengyuan didn't know how she suddenly returned to normal, but the stone in his heart finally fell.

"Are you really okay?" Xie Chengyuan still asked worriedly.

Shen Shuli jumped twice in front of him, "Look, I'm really fine, I was just frightened by the snake king, it didn't attack me."

"By the way, where is the snake king? Did you defeat it?" Shen Shuli was worried that he would question her, so she asked back before he could ask.

Xie Chengyuan frowned at this moment.

He just turned around, but it only took two breaths.

The snake king disappeared!

He was worried that the Snake King would go down the mountain to seek revenge on the team, so he quickly picked up Shen Shuli and said anxiously, "Let's go down the mountain quickly, I'm worried that the Snake King will go to the team!"

Shen Shuli pursed her lips and said nothing, silently letting him take her down the mountain.

Along the way.

The two saw a group of snakes at the foot of the mountain fleeing up the mountain.

And they didn't run in the same direction, but fled in all directions!

Shen Shuli knew that this was because the snakes sensed that the snake king's breath and orders had disappeared, so they lost their cohesion and immediately fled for their lives.

The team that was on high alert did not expect the snakes to suddenly retreat, and the pressure on everyone was immediately relieved a lot.

When Shen Shuli and Xie Chengyuan returned to the team, most of the snakes had already fled, leaving only a few hundred stupid snakes still attacking the team.

After getting rid of these stupid snakes, Xie Chengyuan searched the surrounding area several times alone, but failed to find any trace of the snake king.

The heavy stone in his heart could never be put down.

The resting area was surrounded by dead snakes. Everyone gathered the dead snakes together and burned them.

Snake meat is actually very delicious, but these snakes are all highly venomous, and no one knows whether the bodies of these snakes have been contaminated with toxins from other venomous snakes during the fight.

So it’s better not to risk your life in pursuit of novelty.

"Those snakes suddenly left for unknown reasons. We need to be careful and vigilant." Su Yunhai said to everyone.

Everyone agreed with this and quickly took turns to rest to prevent any more snakes from running out of energy.

"I have searched everywhere I could nearby, but I still can't find any trace of the snake king."

Xie Chengyuan walked up to Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai with a heavy heart, and told them the results of his investigation that had lasted for most of an hour.

Shen Shuli has already told Su Yunhai the news about the Snake King.

So Su Yunhai was not worried that the snake king would attack the team.

But since it was a secret concerning his daughter, he couldn't let her reveal it to outsiders.

Su Yunhai patted Xie Chengyuan on the shoulder and said, "Perhaps the Snake King is tied up by something. He should not pose a threat to us for the time being."

"You are injured, ask the princess to treat you, and leave the night watch to me. If the snake king appears, I will notify everyone in time."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Su." Xie Chengyuan nodded in agreement and left after looking at Shen Shuli.

Shen Shuli and her daughter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas, it's a pity that I can't enter the space, otherwise I really want to see what this majestic dragon snake looks like." Su Yunhai sighed.

"I'll let it out for you to play with after I've tamed it."

Shen Shuli was in a good mood, her dimples and canine teeth were exposed when she smiled.

"Hehe, my daughter is filial~"

Su Yunhai's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.

He really wanted to see what a snake as thick as him looked like!

Seeing that her father was always thinking about the Jiao Snake, Shen Shuli thought about it, and after her consciousness sank into the space, she took a few photos of the Jiao Snake with her mobile phone and showed them to him.

Su Yunhai squatted on the ground and secretly looked at his phone.

"hiss!"

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

"It's really a behemoth!"

"This is definitely a species that has never appeared on the Blue Planet!"

Su Yunhai watched and marveled.

Shen Shuli did not disturb her father and went to find Shen Yuehua to rest together.

After the snake king disappeared, the snake group no longer actively attacked the team.

Not even a snake appeared during the second half of the night.

After daybreak.

Shen Shuli used the spiritual spring water to attract the flock of white geese to a location far away from the team and then put them all into the space.

After a night of tossing and turning, everyone in the team was still wary of another snake attack, so they did not get enough rest and were a little tired.

After hurriedly eating their dry food, everyone immediately set off on their journey without stopping.

They just wanted to get away from that scary snake mountain.

The group walked in one breath until noon, and only dared to stop to rest after entering another big mountain.

After walking for most of the day, the team didn't encounter any more snakes, and they finally relaxed.

The green plants on this mountain have increased visibly.

Everyone hunted a lot of hares, pheasants and wild eggs along the way, and the atmosphere in the team was obviously much more relaxed.

Seeing that the team had made a good harvest, Shen Shuli was in a good mood and provided a lot of seasonings to add flavor to the game.

Everyone enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.

While everyone was resting, Shen Shuli secretly strolled around, looking for a suitable place to release the horses.

Near the deep mountains, Shen Shuli finally saw a suitable location.

She was about to release the horses when she vaguely heard the bleating of prey nearby.

She quickly and quietly moved closer and saw a large group of sika deer drinking water by the stream at the foot of the mountain.

The bleating sound just now should be the sound made by a young fawn.

There were no sika deer in Shen Shuli's space yet, so she immediately and quietly approached the herd of deer, and within the limits of the space, collected all the deer into the space pasture.

By the way, release all the stallions in the space.

The horses suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar environment. Some of them were frightened and started neighing wildly on the spot.

Among this group of horses, there was a top-notch black horse that showed some intelligence.

Shen Shuli hurried over to communicate with him.

When the horses saw their master appear, their rebellious mood was finally calmed down.

She stroked the big black horse and said softly, "Bring your brothers with me. You will have to work hard during this period."

The big black horse snorted, stretched out its big head and rubbed Shen Shuli affectionately before nodding.

Shen Shuli led the way in front, and the big black horse led 199 brothers to follow behind their master.

The team is already packing up and preparing to continue on their journey.

Shen Shuli hurriedly trotted a few steps, probably shouting loudly for her father.

"Dad, Dad, look what I found~"

Su Yunhai knew what his daughter was doing, so he quickly came over to ask questions.

"Girl, what did you find?"

"Dad, look! I just found a herd of wild horses in the mountains! I have tamed them. We can ride them now!"

Shen Shuli's voice was clear, pleasant and bright, reaching everyone's ears.

When everyone heard this, they immediately put down their work and ran over to watch.

Looking at the many spirited horses behind Shen Shuli, everyone's eyes were bright.

"Oh my god, Miss Shen is really a lucky star. She can even meet such a fierce herd of wild horses!"

"Who said it wasn't true? These wild horses are so brave and powerful that they are hard to subdue. I don't know how she managed to subdue such a large group of wild horses!"

“Miss Shen, are you selling this wild horse? If you do, I’m willing to pay a high price for it!”

As soon as this person said this, everyone else was moved!

Why didn’t they think of buying a horse from Miss Shen!

If they could buy a horse, they would have less trouble traveling.

Shen Shuli came to Su Yunhai and said with a smile: "My father is the captain, so he will naturally be responsible for arranging these horses. You can ask my father."

She always wanted to build up a higher prestige for Su Yunhai in the team so that he could have a higher voice and decision-making power.

Everyone looked at Su Yunhai eagerly, and spoke well of him at once, just to get a horse.

"Everyone, please be patient. I will first check whether there are any problems with these wild horses. If there are any extra horses, I will definitely give some to you."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to think about it.

Su Yunhai counted carefully and found that there were exactly two hundred horses.

Although the quality of these horses is not as good as Shen Shuli's big black horse, it is almost the same.

After all, it has been kept in the space for several months, and every day of growth will make it stronger.

It is definitely no problem for these horses to carry three or four hundred kilograms of weight at a time.

The team consists of 266 people, with an average of two people per horse, and there are still many horses left to help carry supplies.

"Everyone, you can all see the quality of these wild horses. If I sell them to you at a low price, my family will suffer a huge loss."

"But if I quote a high price, you probably won't be able to afford it."

"How about this, I rent the horse to you, you give me one tael of silver per day as the rental fee, and our Su family will be responsible for the horse's daily rations and water?"

"We, the Su Shen family, need one hundred horses, and the remaining one hundred can be rented to you."

"If you are willing to rent a horse, come and sign up. You can be the first to choose a horse. If you are not willing, our Su family will keep it for our own use."

There are 98 people in the Su family, and many of them cannot ride horses. They need people who can ride horses to lead people and carry supplies, so one hundred horses are enough.

The situation of the prisoners is similar to that of the Su family. Not many of them can ride horses, so they definitely need multiple people to ride together. The remaining one hundred horses are enough for them.

They originally thought they would have to spend a large sum of money to buy the horses, and were still worried that they did not have enough money.

Unexpectedly, the captain was willing to let them rent it.

Although the price of one tael of silver per day is not cheap, the quality of these wild horses is definitely worth the price.

Moreover, the Su family is willing to take care of the horses' food and drink, which is definitely worth it for them.

They had almost no hesitation and rushed to sign up to rent horses.

Su Yunhai has already divided out the one hundred horses needed by the Su and Chen families.

The remaining one hundred horses were given to the prisoners who registered and paid first to choose.

The one hundred horses were quickly divided up.

Su Yunhai reminded, "Okay, everyone, get familiar with your horses as soon as possible during this afternoon."

"Those who haven't rented a horse can discuss with those who have, pay them some silver and share the money. After we go down the mountain, we will all try to ride horses to get on with our journey."

"Okay, Captain Su!"

"Got it, Captain Su!"

"Don't worry, Captain Su!"

The prisoners were very enthusiastic at the moment. They packed up their things immediately and let the horses carry the supplies on their journey.

The mountain road is difficult.

The team walked until late at night before reaching the official road.

Su Yunhai led the team to an area where there were no other victims and asked everyone to rest quickly.

The Su family gathered all the horses together and fed them.

These horses are used to eating fresh grass in the space pasture. They find the grass outside the space taste bland and are very reluctant to eat it.

While everyone was resting, Shen Shuli sent the horses into the space in two batches to eat, drink and rest.

After daybreak, quickly get all the horses out.

The two hundred horses were back in their best spirits.

But there is a new problem that Shen Shuli needs to solve.

None of these horses' hooves have horseshoes nailed on them, and the long journey will definitely cause damage to their hooves.

She would have to find a chance to shoe the horses.

The quickest solution is to go to the nearest city and find a blacksmith shop to make it custom-made.

Shen Shuli collected the hoof sizes of all the horses overnight.

Shen Shuli suggested to her father: "Dad, I will go ahead and travel alone to the city ahead to order a batch of horseshoes, otherwise the horseshoes will definitely not be able to bear it."

Su Yunhai then realized that none of these horses had horseshoes, and he quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, then you should be careful and be careful not to get infected by the disaster victims."

Shen Shuli: "Don't worry, you also need to take precautions and hurry on your way. We can use the intercom to contact you when the time comes."

Su Yunhai said worriedly: "Why don't you let Xuanguang go with you? I'm worried about you being alone."

Shen Shuli thought it was feasible. Anyway, she had no secrets to be exposed this time, so it would be nice to have someone to protect her.

Xuan Guang had sharp ears, and when he heard Captain Su mention his name, he immediately ran over to ask.

"Captain Su, are you looking for me?" Although Xuan Guang had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were bright when he looked at Su Yunhai.

Su Yunhai explained: "Well, Ah Li wants to go to the city ahead to order a batch of horseshoes. You can go with her!"

"No problem!" Xuan Guang responded loudly, attracting Xie Chengyuan's attention.

Seeing Xuan Guang approaching Su Yunhai and Shen Shuli, he walked over curiously and asked.

Xuan Guang quickly explained it.

“Uncle Su, how about I accompany Miss Shen for a walk?” He glanced at Shen Shuli before proposing to Su Yunhai.

Su Yunhai heard this and felt that there was no problem at all.

Xie Chengyuan is much stronger than Xuan Guang, so he can feel more at ease knowing that he is protecting his daughter.

Shen Shuli had no objection to this, it would be the same no matter who followed.

Xie Chengyuan rode on horseback and took Shen Shuli with him to set off first.

It was just getting light.

The disaster victims along the way have already set off on their journey.

This time is the coolest time of the day and also the best time to travel.

So there are quite a few people on the road.

Moreover, all the victims looked haggard, and one could hear someone coughing from time to time.

It can be seen that many of these victims have been infected with the epidemic and have no conditions for medical treatment.

The epidemic in the whole state has been brought under the maximum control, and the Du Yunyun Envoy has made the prescription for treating the epidemic public.

But there are still so many people who do not have the conditions for medical treatment, which shows that there are many difficulties.

Either there was a shortage of medicinal materials, or a shortage of silver, or the local government was inaction.

In the end, the only ones who suffer are these helpless people.

Shen Shuli and Xie Chengyuan both wore face masks on their faces to avoid infection and hurried on their way.

We passed two smaller towns along the way.

However, the epidemic in the town was serious, and the town leader, the village head, blocked the town and did not allow anyone to enter or leave at will.

Also, due to the impact of the epidemic, many shops are unable to operate normally, and the only blacksmith shop has long been closed.

Shen Shuli and the other person could only continue on their way, preparing to try their luck in a larger county town.

It took another two hours of travel.

The two finally arrived at a county town that looked quite large - Songshan County.

The epidemic in Songshan County has not been well controlled and the city gates are closed.

Many disaster victims gathered outside the city, but the officers and soldiers did not allow them to approach the city gate.

After seeing this scene, Shen Shuli and Xie Chengyuan felt heavy in their hearts.

I thought that if the epidemic in the entire state could be brought under control so quickly, the efficiency in other places would not be much different.

Unexpectedly.

There is such a big difference!

This shows.

Gao Fei, the Transport Commissioner of the Capital, is definitely a rare good official who has both power and strong executive ability!

"What if we can't enter the city?" Xie Chengyuan stopped his horse and asked Shen Shuli behind him.

"Let's get off first." Shen Shuli jumped off the horse, and Xie Chengyuan followed suit.

The two men led the horses to the grassy area nearby to eat and replenish their energy.

"Why don't we sneak into the city, but I'm worried that even if we get into the city, the blacksmith shop in the city won't be open." Shen Shuli said.

Xie Chengyuan nodded: "I thought so too, but if we continue to move forward, it will take at least another 500 miles to reach Yuzhou."

"I don't know what the situation is like in Yuzhou."

Yuzhou is the team's next destination, rich in jade and with a prosperous trade.

"Yuzhou is the provincial capital after all, so I think the efficiency will be higher." Shen Shuli's mood was also quite complicated.

"Can you take me in secretly?"

Xie Chengyuan looked at Shen Shuli and nodded: “Okay, let’s find a place with few people.”

"OK."

The two men led their horses and circled the city wall from a distance to look for a suitable location.

Finally found a secluded bamboo forest.

The city wall here is very high and ordinary people cannot climb over it, so there is no one guarding it.

Shen Shuli tied the horse to a nearby tree and let it continue to graze.

Xie Chengyuan took Shen Shuli over the city wall to observe the situation inside the city.

Next to the city wall on this side is a residential area. Perhaps because of the epidemic, there are very few people passing by on the nearby streets.

Xie Chengyuan and his companion pretended to be residents and searched for a blacksmith shop in the city.

The situation in the city was just as the two had expected, and the epidemic was not well controlled.

Almost one-third of the population has been infected with the virus.

The biggest reason was that the city lacked key medicinal materials, and Songshan County was in financial difficulties and could not purchase this main medicinal material from outside.

As a result, the treatment of the people in the entire city has been delayed.

Shen Shuli and Xie Chengyuan walked in silence on the street and finally found the largest blacksmith shop.

The owner of this blacksmith shop is in good health and has not been infected with the virus for the time being, but the business of the shop is very bad.

The whole city was in an atmosphere of fear and oppression, and shop owners had no intention of opening their shops.
