◎Leave over the mountain◎
Chapter 24
Shitou cried out in pain after being hit by Ali, but even so, he showed no intention of putting down the little snake in his arms.
Seeing that the child was not willing to put the snake back in his hand, Ali felt a little annoyed.
Just as it was wondering whether to find an older human to teach the cub a lesson, it smelled a slightly familiar scent in the air.
"Haha..."
Stopping the pace of chasing the stone, Ahri turned around and looked towards the bushes farther away, baring a threatening look.
The smell over there was something that even Ahri, the big cat who had become stronger due to the changes in the world, felt wary of.
The only person who could not concentrate on hiding and practicing at this time, who had a familiar smell and the kung fu to run out like Ahri, was the one who was crossing the mountain. Ahri could not think of anything else.
Thinking of the baby snake in her human cub's arms, Ahri became even more alert.
There are so many human cubs here. If it really fights with the mountain-crossing beast, it will definitely hurt the human children nearby.
After all, Ahri is not small in size now, and Guoshanfeng himself is also not small in size. Now after the mutation, he will definitely be stronger.
As soon as there was any movement from either side, while Ali was not able to react and was concentrating on fighting it, Guo Shanfeng hit the children nearby with his tail, and the force was enough for them to bear.
Thinking of this, Ahri licked his lips in annoyance, his eyes sharp and staring at the bushes over there with alert readiness.
"Something's wrong..."
Shitou had been chased and beaten by Ahri before, but now he suddenly saw Ahri stop and stare at one place. He was a little surprised at first, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly reacted.
"Momo, you guys go back first!"
Stone said as he began to move towards where Ahri was currently.
But before he could move over, he saw Ahri's warning look.
"Ah Li, I was wrong. I'll put the little snake back now..."
Seeing Ali's current appearance, Shitou realized belatedly that he must have provoked something powerful again, something that even Ali, the village bully who had fought all over the village, was afraid of.
But before he could really move, he saw a dark head emerging from the bushes where the noise of ropes had just been heard.
"Over the mountain..."
Gangduan watched from afar and recognized this snake, which looked obviously different from the previous ones.
This snake looks a little different from the snake in Shi Tou's arms.
It looked rougher and larger, while the one in Stone's arms was more delicate and spiritual.
Perhaps it was because it was just an ordinary animal before the changes in heaven and earth, and it was not like Ahri who could occasionally get close to Ying Huai to get some spiritual energy.
When the world changed suddenly, the first thing that changed was its already advantageous body shape, and later it also evolved its scales.
This is why it looks huge in size but rough in appearance.
Ahri was standing opposite the mountain, standing vigilantly in front of the rock, as if ready to fight the snake at any time.
However, the mountain peak opposite it obviously had different ideas from Ahri. After coming out of the bushes, the other party did not rush towards the stone that was going to take away its cub, nor did it declare war on Ahri, with whom it had fought before.
Instead, it stood there and observed, hissing a few times in the direction of the stone. Seeing that the little snake in the stone's arms was still not ready to come down, it hesitated for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Even Shitou, who had such keen perception, only felt Ahri's nervousness and vigilance during this period, but did not feel Shanfeng's malice or any intention to hurt his emotions.
After seeing the mountain and preparing to leave, the little snake in Shitou's arms poked out its little head and hissed twice in the direction of the big snake, as if saying goodbye.
Guo Shanfeng heard it, paused slightly, and then walked towards the bushes again.
Guo Shanfeng has a very good memory. If you really count his qualifications, they are comparable to Ahri's. It's just that Ahri is lucky. She met Ying Huai a long time ago and has Ying Huai's aura, so she has a very good foundation.
This allows Ahri to quickly control the direction of her own alienation and improve her strength in this sudden change of heaven and earth.
But crossing a mountain is different. Everything is done according to one's own instincts and is figured out by oneself.
One of the reasons why it lost its eggs so easily in the mountains before was because the little snake in that batch of eggs was very talented. It had clear emotions and was able to express them at the beginning of the changes in heaven and earth.
At that time, Guo Shanfeng only had memories, instincts, the ability to hunt, and the ability to protect his eggs.
An egg like this, with excellent qualifications but no ability to protect itself, would easily be targeted by other creatures on the mountain.
One can imagine what life was like in the mountains during that period. Either one was fighting with egg thieves or on the way to look for eggs.
If the egg had not been stained with the scent of Ying Huai and Ahri, it might have completely disappeared in the stomach of an animal due to a sneak attack before it even hatched, and become energy for the evolution of that animal.
Obviously, Guo Shanfeng also knew something vaguely.
So this time when it saw Ahri who had beaten it, it did not fight with her, and it did not react at all when faced with Shi Tou, the human who took its cub away.
After confirming that its cub really did not want to follow it back to the mountains to live, it crossed the mountain and left on its own.
But before it could go far, a locust leaf floated in from somewhere in the sky, drifted over, and slowly landed on the forehead of the mountain, which had become somewhat huge after the mutation.
Specks of light spread out, and some meridians that had been damaged by instinctive evolution were smoothed out by a very gentle force. The remaining strength continued to be stored in the leaf on the forehead, waiting for the next opportunity to appear.
Feeling the gentle power spreading across his forehead, Guo Shanfeng quickly locked onto the direction from which the leaves were coming with his keen sense of smell. Over there, there was a tall locust tree with a lush green crown.
After the power dissipating from its body subsided, it hissed twice again in the direction of the little snake, and then went up the mountain without any hesitation.
This time, it’s a real farewell.
With that person at the foot of the mountain, its cub will not be in danger of life. The little two-legged beast carrying its cub also smells pleasant and does not harbor any malicious intent.
There is a big cat around that can only fight it to a draw. It can be imagined that the cub will have a good life in the future, and even better development.
And it itself, back on the mountain, has its own way to go.
After making the decision, it crossed the mountain and left quickly. Its speed did not slow down because its body had evolved to be larger, and it was even faster than before.
If Ahri's body hadn't mutated, perhaps we wouldn't be able to fight it to a draw now.
Ying Huai sensed the direction the bird was heading over the mountain from afar. After he felt relieved, he lowered his head and carefully examined the plants that the villagers had placed next to him.
Ying Huai allowed those who had some intelligence, or were about to develop intelligence, and had no ill will towards the villagers to stay.
The rest are plants that have no intelligence and whose bodies have mutated due to this sudden change in the world.
Ying Huai simply rolled up the plants, and when he saw that they were unable to move due to his rolling, he signaled the villagers that they could deal with them.
The last ones left were mutated animals, some of which were cats and dogs in the village, and some were common small animals that came down from the mountains.
Of course, the elderly people in the larger villages can't catch it either.
If two out of ten plants have a certain degree of intelligence, then most of these animals are mutating based on instinct, and because of the mutation, even the little brains they originally had are almost mutated away.
There are very few animals that can evolve intelligence after mutation like the mountain peak.
For such a long time, Ying Huai watched the little mouse, A Li, in Tang Rufeng's hand, and found that it had intelligence and could also improve its own strength.
The rest of them are either because the spiritual energy in the world has increased, and their brains have improved a little, so they look smarter on the surface, or they have mutated and their brains are gone, so they look like fools, which is not normal at all.
Most of the villagers gathered under Yinghuai's tree. At first, they were very surprised to see these plants gathered together. After all, for so many years they had only seen their godmother shaking branches and giving them a few leaves from time to time, using the leaves to express what she wanted to communicate with them.
This is the first time I have seen my godmother use her power so directly.
"Perhaps because the world has changed recently, my godmother's power has also increased?"
When this thought came to mind, the villagers just watched quietly, and from time to time they came forward to move away the animals and plants that Ying Huai decided to let them deal with.
"Are the rest of these good?"
Seeing the remaining ones placed next to the godmother's tree, and seeing that the godmother didn't seem to have any intention of throwing them away, one of them stepped forward to ask.
[Well, we can just find a place to replant the trees and release the animals.]
When the leaves of the Yinghuai tree fell and landed on someone, this sentence inexplicably appeared in that person's mind.
Wow, before only fonts could appear, but now godmother can put words directly into their heads.
This change doesn't seem to be an entirely bad thing.
Although they were thinking this, they did not delay in their actions. A group of people hurriedly moved away the animals and plants that had been brought in in the morning.
Seeing that the things around him were moved away and that there was peace and quiet again, Ying Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around to look at the direction he had left by crossing the mountain, and chuckled softly.
Ying Huai had sensed the movement of the creature crossing the mountain before.
The other party did not hide when it came. Even if it felt Ying Huai's roots following it, it ignored it. It was obviously confident that its actions were aboveboard and its strength was strong enough. Even if a fight broke out, it had the ability to escape, so it was not afraid at all.
However, after it really entered Daxi Village and got a certain distance away from Yinghuai's tree, it clearly realized the gap between itself and Yinghuai, and its thoughts unconsciously changed.
Also because of its slightly gentler attitude, Ying Huai took into consideration that the snake cub was still young and might need some teaching from its parent Guo Shanfeng in the future, so he gave it some spiritual power to calm the meridians that were damaged during its evolution and mutation.
It only has instincts, so it doesn't know that if these internal injuries are not handled properly, they will become hidden dangers in the future, and when it advances next time, they may become its death warrant.
Shitou and others present did not notice Ying Huai's action, but Ali saw it clearly, and even wanted to grab the leaf on Guo Shanfeng's forehead when he saw it.
The cat is quite domineering. It has never had its meridians combed by Ying Huai in this way. This snake is actually the first one!
The cat didn't think about it. It had grown up with Ying Huai, and Ying Huai had always been watching over its tendons and veins. What could be the problem?
Shitou saw Shanfeng leave, and after seeing his own Ali leave, he also moved a few steps and disappeared from their sight. He was a little confused for a moment.
"Hmm? Do you agree to let me take the little snake away? Ahri doesn't want to fight me anymore?"
Shitou turned around and looked inquiringly at the few people who were standing far away and refused to leave, waiting for his steamed buns and coins.
"That's probably it. We've already crossed the mountain, but the little snake hasn't been called away yet. I guess they're letting you raise it on your own."
Gangduan walked forward slowly, looked at the little snake in Shitou's palm, then turned to look in the direction where Guoshanfeng and A Li had left. That was all he could say.
Apart from this guess, he really couldn't think of anything else.
"Okay, let's take it back. Brother Shitou, make sure the little snake is well hidden so that uncle doesn't see it."
Momo listened to Gangduan's words, came over, nodded and spoke.
"That's for sure, but you have to keep it a secret for me. I'll give you one-third of my pocket money later!"
In order to get his younger brothers and sisters to help keep the secret, Shitou paid a high price.
"Sure, I'll wait for my parents to come back in two days. I'll ask them to bring some delicious food and you can pay for it with your pocket money."
When Momo heard this, he nodded and agreed readily.
He had almost spent all his pocket money before returning to Daxi Village, but Shi Tou still had a lot because he stayed in the village every day and didn't spend much.
"We are considered to be wealthy customers."
Xiao Ling'er came over with Chu Xinran, talking with a smile.
"Brother Shitou, you have to be more careful next time. You were lucky this time, and your godmother will cover for you." Gangduan thought for a while before speaking again.
When they left over the mountain, they all saw the leaf on their forehead.
They play under the godmother tree every day and are very familiar with the locust tree leaves.
To be able to let the leaf float so far and let Guo Shanfeng choose to leave without even fighting with Ahri, he must have gained some benefits, and the benefits are so good that he doesn't even want his cub.
Not far from the group of children, Mayor Xiao took in the entire scene and turned to look at the secretary next to him.
"Mayor, when we were walking around the village earlier, a few people there were saying things to us that were incoherent, intentionally or unintentionally. Now it seems like they're trying to trick us into wandering around in a random pattern."
The secretary looked down at the notebook in her hand that contained the information and spoke out.
"This village is indeed a little unusual..."
After listening to this, the mayor chuckled and nodded.
Daxi Village is not big, and you can see most of the village even if you go around it.
But those who took them for a walk in the village or chatted with them would quietly ask them to take a detour in the village.
If it weren't for what he just saw, he really wouldn't have reacted.
"Those leaves, are they from the tree at the entrance of the village?"
The secretary pushed his glasses and recalled the scene he saw when he entered the village and the tall tree at the entrance of the village.
A group of villagers gathered under a tree at the entrance of the village with some abnormal plants.
Are they really doing their own research?
"Okay, from what we've seen so far, Daxi Village should have its own support, so they don't want to move down the mountain."
The mayor said this, shaking his head with a helpless look on his face.
"So we just give up like that?"
"Give up? Am I such a confused person? If I don't figure it out, my last name won't be Xiao. I'll follow his surname Wu Desheng."
Mayor Xiao reached out and took the secretary's notebook, then turned and walked towards the village chief's house.
