"General, Major General, it's already dawn, it would be bad if people from Xikun found out, let's go down the mountain!"
They read everything that should be seen, and recorded everything that should be recorded. When everyone turned around and went down the mountain, they suddenly heard a rustling sound in the forest.
Everyone stopped in an instant.
"who is it?"
The rustling sound did not stop, but became clearer, and the surrounding mountains and forests echoed, as if they had entered an encirclement.
Gu Shubai said: "It doesn't look like a person, it looks like some kind of animal."
animal? Why are animals all over the forest and moving together
Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, these "animals" are obviously coming towards them!
Behind them was an unobstructed cliff, and the only road in front of them was blocked by monsters in the forest, and there was nowhere to escape.
Everyone tacitly drew out their swords, blocking Gu Huaijiang and Gu Shubai at the end.
"General, Major General, if you can't resist anything, you can climb down the vines of the cliff!"
The guards looked at death like home, even though their scalps were numb, they didn't hesitate for a moment when they stood in front of Gu Huaijiang and his son.
Even if it is mountain spirits, ghosts, fierce tigers and bears, they can use their flesh and blood to block a way out for the general!
Gu Huaijiang said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, let's take another look."
His voice was like a reassurance, the soldier's hand holding the sword no longer trembled, and his eyes were fixed on the mountain forest.
"hiss-"
There was a terrifying panting sound, and a sharp-eyed guard immediately pointed to the front right, "It's a snake! A poisonous snake!"
Not one, but seven or eight poisonous snakes with black bodies and silver rings, raised their bodies in the grass, and swam towards them with a message!
"It's there too!"
Another personal guard pointed to the front left, and densely packed poisonous snakes were swimming towards them. This scene made people tremble all over!
They have killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and they have never been afraid of the enemy's sharp knives and long swords, but they have never seen such a strange scene.
Hundreds of venomous snakes swam towards them as if someone commanded them...
With a swipe, the guard soldier killed the first poisonous snake that approached with a sword. The eyes of the severed snake shone with hatred, and the part of the snake's head suddenly flew towards the soldier who killed him!
The soldier didn't expect that the slashed poisonous snake could still move. He didn't realize it for a moment, but when his leg was about to be bitten, he cut the snake's head in two with a sword behind him.
This time, the snake head was completely silent.
The tip of Gu Shubai's sword was stained with snake blood, "You have to chop seven inches off the snake, otherwise they won't die for a while, but will take revenge instead."
While speaking, two more poisonous snakes approached. This time the soldier was prepared and cut off seven inches of the snake neatly.
Gu Huaijiang said: "Retreat, retreat to the edge of the cliff."
The cliff became narrower as it got closer to the back, so that they could maximize their advantages of being few. Everyone retreated as promised, and after the vanguard of the snake group was killed, they rushed up in large numbers.
While killing the poisonous snake, Gu Shubai said, "These snakes must have been driven by something to besiege us. Perhaps the people of Xikun knew that we would come here to investigate and set a trap on purpose."
"ah!"
A soldier was bitten by a poisonous snake on the leg, and the poisonous snake behind him came up to him and was chopped into two pieces by Gu Shubai.
"Stand back!"
The soldier who was bitten by the snake immediately crawled to the back, Gu Shubai took over his position and continued to kill the snake. Hundreds of snakes came back after killing them, like a torrential flood.
Gu Huaijiang was relatively safe in the back. He looked down and saw that the soldier bitten by the snake had black blood on his leg, and his lips had turned purple.
"Hold on!"
He tore off his sleeve and tied it tightly over the soldier's wound to prevent the snake's venom from spreading.
"Huh?"
The soldiers who were chopping the snakes were surprised to find that the poisonous snakes that rushed up were three steps away from Gu Shubai's body, and they all detoured to attack them instead.
Gu Shubai also discovered this problem.
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, he lowered his head and looked at himself, looking for the difference between himself and those guard soldiers.
Finally, his eyes fell on the plum blossom purse embroidered by Yufu himself.
He tore open the purse, not caring what spices were inside, and directly swung at the snakes.
A strange scene appeared, the snakes that had been sprinkled with spices receded like a tide, until they retreated to a circle three steps away from the spices, not daring to take a step closer.
There is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the soldiers are relieved.
"Major General, what's in your purse?"
"I don't know what it is, Yufu gave it to me before I left."
Gu Shubai sniffed it carefully, he had sniffed the purse when he received it, but he didn't find out why, and it is still the same now.
No matter what it is, just know that poisonous snakes are afraid of it.
He tore off the hem of the clothes casually, divided them into several pieces, poured the spices in his purse into each piece of fabric and wrapped them up.
"Father, you put this away."
He gave Gu Huaijiang the one with the most weight, and shared the rest with the soldiers, each carrying one on his body.
"Put him on your back, there is an antidote for snake venom in the camp."
He pointed to the soldiers on the ground, and then walked towards the snake group first. The amount of spices was reduced, and poisonous snakes might not be afraid, he had to do an experiment first.
"Major General, no!"
The soldiers behind him wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so they could only watch Gu Shubai walk into the group of snakes.
Swipe—
As he moved, the snakes seemed to hesitate, gathering at his feet without moving.
Suddenly, they make an attack!
Everyone was in suspense for a while, Gu Shubai stood where he was, his body stiffened.
For a while, the snakes shook their heads and tails, and finally retreated slowly until they disappeared without a trace.
