Merchant of the Underworld

There is also wind and snow in the valley, but I don't know why it is not as cold as outside.

Large flakes of snow shaped like goose feathers fell all over the ground, covering all traces. However, Han Laoliu had already released the pathfinder crane before, so he must have noticed something.

We quietly passed along the left side of the woods!

Although the ground in this area is covered with heavy snow, many snowflakes remaining on the branches have fallen. It can be seen at a glance that many people have just passed by here.

We had just walked a hundred steps when Han Laoliu suddenly stopped and motioned for me to be silent.

The two of us bent down, gently pushed aside the snow-covered branches, and looked forward from a distance.

But I saw two legs exposed behind a big tree not far ahead.

The owner of those feet was wearing a light snow suit and high snow boots, just like the corpses in the tunnel.

The only difference is that these two legs are moving, but the movements are very unnatural——

He was squirming one after another, as if he was lying on a big rock and twitching constantly.

At the same time, there was a very strange clicking sound coming from behind the tree, which sounded like... something was gnawing at the bones.

I patted Han Laoliu on the shoulder and pointed to the other side of the big tree, where snow and mist kept rising, as if something was churning.

Han Laoliu parted his hands and made a gesture of encirclement. I nodded and tightened the twin ghost-killing swords in my hands. He bent down and went around from the other side. Han Laoliu also grabbed the ancient sword and surrounded him from the other side.

puff!

As soon as the two of us got closer, the snow around the big tree exploded, sending up snow and fog all over the sky.

In the snow and fog, a dark shadow blurred out and swept towards me!

I jumped up quickly and hid aside.

There was a loud bang! The black shadow hit the tree trunk next to it, causing the tree to shake violently, and large swaths of snow fell from the sky, covering it head-on.

I didn't even care to get out of the way, I stared straight ahead, but I saw a black shadow in the falling snow swaying out!

Only then did I finally see clearly that it was a big snake!

This snake is as thick as a bucket and is all white except for a black stripe on its back.

It was holding a corpse in its mouth, but only two legs were left. It seemed that it was disturbed by me and was about to turn around and run away.

No wonder the posture of those two legs was so weird just now, it turned out to be a big snake eating it!

Before I could catch up, Han Laoliu suddenly jumped out from the front, sword in hand.

A white light flashed past, and the big snake was immediately chopped into two pieces.

He was so fast that I didn't even see clearly how he made the move before the sword was already sheathed.

The big snake broke into two pieces and rolled on the ground for a few times before becoming motionless. Bright red blood gurgled out, staining a large area of ​​snow. A fishy smell assaulted the nostrils, making it extremely disgusting.

I walked over and took a look. The fractures between the two snake corpses were shining with crimson light, and ancient talismans were faintly emerging. It seemed that Han Laoliu's sword was no worse than that of the man in the T-shirt.

"This is the larvae of an Arctic python." Han Laoliu glanced at the snake corpse: "When this guy grows up, he can swallow walruses, polar bears, and even big tiger sharks in a fight, but how can he do it here? Appear here?"

"It doesn't seem to want to attack us at all, it's just preparing to escape. The valley is so dangerous and we don't know anything about the situation. What if it causes other troubles?" His move was very neat, but it made people feel uncomfortable. I'm extremely confused.

"It's precisely because we don't know anything about this place." Han Laoliu glanced at me: "That's why we need to make some noise to draw out all the guys here and see what their background is."

"Hide quickly, someone is coming!" Suddenly, his face tightened, he grabbed my arm with one hand, jumped up, and jumped four or five meters from the ground, landing firmly on the branch of a big tree. , not even a piece of snow fell.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!" Suddenly several cuckoo calls came from the distance.

Immediately afterwards, there were several more nocturnal sounds coming from the opposite side.

Swish, swish, swish!

At the same time, except for the direction of the tunnel from which we came, hurried footsteps sounded from the other three sides. The sound came very fast. In just a few dozen seconds, six or seven figures approached.

We hid in a big tree and could see clearly that these people were all wearing white snow suits, their heads and faces were covered tightly, and they were holding submachine guns painted with white and yellow camouflage.

Their movements were extremely professional, their angles for covering each other were extremely thorough, and their cooperation was quite tacit, with almost no dead ends. They all seemed to be extremely capable professional soldiers.

They stopped near the snake carcass. The five of them remained on alert and looked around very alertly. One of them approached, checked the dead snake and its companion in the snake's mouth, and then pressed the communicator on his ear. Whispered something.

But just in the middle of what he said, his head fell down with a pop. Before he could react, his body swayed and fell to the ground.

The five people around were suddenly startled, but no one screamed. They just quickly found a hiding spot and stared around closely.

puff! Puff puff!

A white light shone everywhere, flying around the necks of the five people in almost the blink of an eye.

The five people were immediately dismembered and died together!

This group of soldiers who were so well-trained did not even find out where their enemies were before they died, and they did not even have a chance to pull the trigger.

I looked at Han Laoliu in surprise, but he was also looking around warily. It was obviously not him who did it!

"Hmph, you dare to come to the Devil's Valley just now. You really don't know whether to live or die." As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked over from a distance.

A skinny little old man, wearing a shabby gray coat, a half-length goatee, sunglasses, and long hair, he was no different from a fortune teller who wandered the streets.

"There aren't many of these white devils left. According to me, they should have been stewed long ago. Why do you have to work so hard!" Behind him was a great monk.

It was freezing cold in the valley, but the great monk was actually wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with his arms open, revealing a big belly covered with black hair. On his bare head was embroidered a palm-sized word for "Tu", which stood out against the snowy light. ,shining.

The two people walked over one after another and looked at the dead bodies on the ground with disdain.

The great monk curled his lips: "Mr. Dong is really too careful. Aren't they just a few white soldiers carrying fire sticks? No matter which one of us does it, it's a piece of cake. It doesn't take two people." A group?"

"Of course they don't need to worry too much, but our real opponent is coming soon, so it's better to be careful." The guy who looked like a fortune teller stroked his goatee.

"What real opponent? You mean that little kid named Zhang? Don't you think so? I'm afraid I, the lazy Arhat, can kill him single-handedly, so why bother with this?" the great monk replied.
