Chapter 289 The Cowardly Snake
After being criticized, Hei Xia Zi's expression suddenly became serious, and he spoke to Wu Xie in a serious manner.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Big disciple, enjoy playing in the water here. I will protect you."
Wuxie rolled his eyes at Hei Xia Zi and turned his head away, not wanting to look at him.
Everyone's attention was focused back on the pool. Under the clear water was a dark area and nothing could be seen.
"How about I drop a couple of drops of my blood? Logically speaking, I have a special physique, so my blood should be more attractive to those things."
Wuxie stirred the water with his hands from time to time, but there was no movement for a long time, so he spoke in boredom.
Zhang Moyu frowned when he heard his words, raised his hand and hit Wuxie on the back of the head, and spoke in a bad mood.
"You're just thinking about bleeding when you have nothing to do. Where did you learn this bad habit? You don't care about your own body, but you want others to care about you."
Wuxie covered his head with his hands, looking aggrieved, and his eyes kept glancing in the direction of Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling turned his head and pretended to observe the stone wall next to him.
This was absolutely none of his business. He hadn't bled himself since he met Zhang Moyu. His body was the capital of revolution. There were still many things he needed to do at home, so he had to take good care of his body.
"Hey! Do you think this pool looks a little shallow?"
Hei Xia Zi spoke unexpectedly, attracting the attention of several people.
In dark places, the black blind's eyes can see more clearly.
At this moment, he keenly noticed that the pool, which was originally so deep and dark that one could not see the bottom, was no longer deep because although the bottom of the pool was still dark, he could clearly feel that there was something lurking in the darkness.
Wuxie stared at the bottom of the pool for a long time, and then found that it was only darkness as far as his sight could see, and he could not see anything at all.
Zhang Moyu was worried about alerting the snake, so he didn't want to rashly use his mental power to probe deeper. If he let the dragon snake escape to the deep underground river and hide for ten or eight years, it would cause a lot of trouble.
It is difficult to tell anything just by observing with your eyes, but Zhang Moyu still has a high degree of trust in Hei Xia Zi.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Moyu reminded others to be on high alert while grabbing Wuxie's collar with one hand to ensure that he could pull Wuxie away as soon as possible if anything happened.
"Xiao Hei."
Zhang Moyu called out to Hei Xia Zi softly. Hei Xia Zi took out his gun nimbly and spoke in a low voice.
"It's approaching."
The atmosphere gradually became solemn. Zhang Qiling had already drawn out his knife, which was now lying in front of him, staring at the bottom of the pool with sharp eyes, ready to strike.
Zhang Ruiping silently took out his poisoned dart and held it between the fingers of his left hand. With his other hand, he held the dagger for self-defense. His muscles were tense and his alertness was at its highest level.
Although he didn't see anything, Wuxie was infected by the atmosphere and was so nervous that he froze in place, not daring to move.
After another ten seconds, as the thing below continued to approach, Zhang Moyu and Zhang Qiling, who had good eyesight in the dark, could vaguely see something under the water.
It was a huge snake head that occupied almost half of the pond. Actually, it didn't quite look like a snake head. There were fin-like structures extending outward from its cheeks, and there was a very sharp-looking horn on one side of its head that had no forks.
There should have been a horn on the other side, but it looked like it had been broken off, so it was only a little bit long.
Two dim eyes stared at them closely, revealing resentment and vigilance that made people's scalps tingle.
Wuxie even felt the greed in its gaze as it stared at him, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Just when a few people thought that the dragon snake would get closer and closer, and then find an opportunity to catch them off guard and attack them during the confrontation, an accident suddenly happened.
Zhang Moyu saw that the dragon snake was about to enter the optimal range of his mental attack, but the next second it stopped and slipped away without looking back.
"Fuck! Brother Mo, it ran away!"
Wuxie, who was acting as a bait with fear and trepidation, screamed loudly subconsciously. Zhang Moyu withdrew his hand that was grabbing Wuxie's collar, inadvertently rubbed his ear that was pricked by Wuxie's scream, sighed, and spoke with some tiredness.
"I saw it, don't be so surprised."
Wuxie smiled at him embarrassedly, cleared his throat and said sorry.
"I'm sorry, Brother Mo, I got a little excited. I'll definitely do it next time."
It's like fishing. After fishing for a long time, you finally catch a big fish. The fish is about to bite the hook, but the next second, for some reason, the fish runs away. Who wouldn't be excited?
"This thing is quite alert. It looks like it's not going to be easy to deal with."
Hei Xia Zi smacked his lips regretfully, turned the gun that was always ready in his hand twice, turned on the safety and stuffed it back into his clothes.
Zhang Qiling and Zhang Ruiping also let down their guard and put away their defensive posture.
Zhang Moyu felt a little regretful. They only had one chance. If the dragon snake didn't come up the first time, then it would be useless for them to stay here no matter how long they stayed.
Judging from his appearance, he was probably scared by the Zhang family who had come to deal with him before, and he dared not show up again.
But it's true that one of the sharpest and hardest horns on its body was broken. You can imagine how badly this dragon snake was beaten back then.
"what to do?"
Zhang Qiling also frowned slightly and wanted to ask Zhang Moyu for advice.
"We don't have time to waste here with it. Since it won't come out, then it should never come out."
Zhang Moyu had thought about this situation before, and took out a black garbage bag full of things from his backpack and opened the bag.
Inside was a large bundle of red ropes with small octagonal bells attached, and a smaller sealed bag containing a thick stack of talisman paper.
Each drawing has red characters on a yellow background. It is neither the traditional Taoist amnesty decree nor the messy and incomprehensible scribbles, but the word "seal" written in small seal script.
The handwriting is elegant, with iron-like strokes and silver-like hooks, and has a subtle sharpness and unique style. You can tell at a glance that the person who wrote this word has good attainments in calligraphy.
"Anyway, we just don't want this dragon snake to go out and transform into a dragon and do evil.
We can use a formation to seal this dragon snake, as long as we can stop it for a while.
Now is the end of the spiritual energy era. When the formation becomes ineffective, it will probably be the time when the spiritual energy is exhausted and the cultivation of this dragon snake will be completely lost.
By then, we won't have to kill it, and it won't survive."
Zhang Moyu started to untie the rope while speaking, and did not forget to give instructions to Wuxie, the weakest person present.
"Xiao Xie, please stand at the edge first. Setting up the formation requires meticulousness. I have a feeling that if you get involved, it will only make things worse. Once we have set up this place, we'll take you with us."
