Chapter 129 Python Thirteen
Chang Ba was a little scared, but he still said stubbornly: "You are a human, you are so arrogant. I want to see what you are capable of!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiaobai immediately refused to do so and swooped down from the tree, pecking at Chang Ba with his beak.
It was agile and had practiced the True Phoenix Body Refining Technique, so its claws were extremely sharp. Chang Ba dodged left and right but did not dare to really attack, and gradually he could no longer withstand it.
"etc!"
Chang Ba suddenly shouted, "I have no grudge against you, why bother fighting? Maybe we can cooperate."
Huo Qinghuang waved her hand to stop Xiaobai's movements, and looked at Chang Ba in confusion: "Cooperation? What use can you provide?"
Chang Ba saw that there was a turning point, and hurriedly said: "I have lived in Changbai Mountain for many years, and I know the terrain and herbs here very well. If you are looking for any precious herbs, I can help you."
Huo Qinghuang's heart moved. She came here indeed to look for some rare herbs. With the help of this big snake, perhaps she could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
But she would not easily believe Chang Ba. After all, this snake was cunning and timid, and he might have some conspiracy.
Although she was not afraid, she didn't want to waste time.
"Why are you helping us?"
Huo Qinghuang asked.
Chang Ba rolled his eyes and said, "You don't look like bad people to me. Besides, there are some uninvited guests coming to this valley from time to time. I can't handle it alone. If you can help me drive those guys away, I will take you to find herbs."
Huo Qinghuang thought for a moment and realized that the uninvited guests that Chang Ba mentioned were those little days, so he agreed: "Okay, deal. But if you dare to play any tricks, I will not let you go."
Chang Ba nodded quickly: "No, no, I dare not. Once I say something, I cannot take it back."
In this way, Huo Qinghuang and Chang Ba reached a temporary cooperation.
…
No words were spoken that night.
Early the next morning, the few of them quickly ate a few bites of barbecue, and then, led by Chang Ba, walked out of the valley.
Mao Gougou and others were very nervous, not knowing where the big snake was going to take them.
But seeing that Huo Qinghuang was calm and didn't seem worried, they had no choice but to put aside their uneasiness and followed him obediently.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the more secluded and tranquil the scenery of Changbai Mountain becomes. There are towering ancient trees all around with lush branches and leaves. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the layers of leaves, forming patches of light.
Soon, Chang Ba led them to a hidden valley entrance.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck!”
Xiaobai suddenly started chirping.
This is not the place it explored, it is going in the wrong direction!
Huo Qinghuang suddenly stopped and looked at Chang Ba indifferently.
This look seemed to have substance, and Chang Ba's snake body tensed instantly.
It stopped, turned around and said, "Since we have reached a cooperation agreement, I will show my sincerity first.
By the way, my name is Chang Ba, you can call me Master Ba.
There is an old medicinal herb in this valley. The last time I went to see it, it was not yet ripe, but it should be mature now.
But there's a big, powerful guy guarding it, so we have to be careful."
"Calling you Master Ba? Do you want to ascend to heaven sooner? Stop talking nonsense and just lead the way."
Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes and said calmly.
Chang Ba was choked by these words. He had no choice but to shut his mouth awkwardly and lead the way silently in front.
As soon as you step into the valley, a strong aroma of herbs hits you in the face.
Huo Qinghuang sniffed lightly, his eyes brightening slightly.
Xiaobai took the lead and rushed into the valley to check the situation.
Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound, and a python covered with black stripes jumped out from the grass, spitting out its tongue, blocking their way.
Mao Gougou and others were startled and quickly hid behind Huo Qinghuang.
The python was more than ten feet long, and its scales had a black iron luster and looked extremely strong. Its pair of emerald green eyes flashed with a cold and ferocious light, which frightened them so much that they wanted to run away.
Huo Qinghuang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the python in front of him with indifference, without even moving a step.
"Mang Shisan, why are you here?"
At this moment, Chang Ba swam up, circled the python a few times, and asked in surprise.
In the eyes of Maogougou and others, its movements looked like it was about to launch an attack, which scared them so much that they turned around and rushed out of the valley.
"Shit! A fight is about to start, run!"
"Shit, I'm gonna pee my pants!"
The hairy dog let out a loud roar and ran away.
When the others saw this, they ran faster than the other, fearing that they would become food for the python.
"return!"
Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly and he shouted speechlessly.
These guys look listless when they are working, but run faster than anyone else when they are escaping.
Besides, Chang Ba was just saying hello, why did they start fighting?
Xiao Bai was flying in the sky and almost laughed to death when he saw this scene.
"Haha, these weaklings are so stupid, it's really making me laugh to death!"
Mang Shisan looked up at the sky, then at Mao Gougou and others who were called, and finally fixed his gaze on Huo Qinghuang, with a hint of vigilance flashing in his snake eyes.
This is a monk!
Its sensing is never wrong!
"Chang Ba, what are you bringing people here for?"
Mang Shisan spit out his scarlet tongue and spoke in a sinister tone.
It twisted its body a few times on the ground, then slowly straightened up, staring at Huo Qinghuang and the others with cold eyes.
"Hey, the food inside should be cooked by now. We can't get it anyway, so why not do it as a favor?"
Chang Ba said very simply.
For it, using a medicinal herb that does not belong to it in exchange for Huo Qinghuang's help is a very cost-effective deal.
When Mang Shisan heard this, he immediately became angry.
"You coward! Even though the Red-feathered Crested Vulture is powerful, we are no pushovers. If we join forces, we can definitely tear it into pieces. Then, the treasure will be ours!"
Mang Shisan cursed in frustration.
When Chang Bayi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he felt hopeful. However, when he thought of the terrifying red-feathered crested eagle, he became a little timid.
"No, no, that red-feathered eagle loves to eat snakes. If you want to have sex with me, you go ahead. I don't want to lose my life for nothing."
It lowered its head and swam backwards, looking as if it would never be fooled.
Mang Shisan was almost pissed off by it.
How could the Chang and Mang families produce such a coward? He is as timid as a mouse and has no courage at all. He is simply not worthy of being a python clan!
"You are such a loser! You brag about your abilities all the time, but you fail at the crucial moment. You have brought shame to our python clan!"
Mang Shisan was so angry that all the scales on his body were trembling slightly.
It really couldn't understand why Chang Ba was so timid and cowardly even though they had practiced in Changbai Mountain for many years.
Chang Ba was so angry that he raised his head and retorted, "It's easy for you to say that. The Red-feathered Vulture is our natural enemy. You have seen how powerful it is. How many of our fellow tribesmen have died in its mouth? If we rush up to it, wouldn't that be courting death?
Besides, I am also thinking about everyone. Instead of fighting to the death with that vicious bird, it is better to find a safe way."
As Chang Ba spoke, he secretly glanced at Huo Qinghuang out of the corner of his eye, secretly glad that he had found such a helper. He could use her to deal with the Red-feathered Crested Vulture, and he could rest easy from then on.
