Meng Xiang quickened his pace, and scurried away like a wild animal in the jungle, passing over the trees in the dense forest. A towering barren mountain appeared before his eyes. He walked out of the jungle and came to the foot of the mountain. There was no sign here, but there were occasional movements in the dense forest beside the mountain, and occasionally mysterious people would spy not far away. The ground was covered with traces of human activities, such as food packaging and other household garbage.
The barren mountain in front of us is Mount Ikoma. The nearby villagers respect the little eagles very much and even call Mount Ikoma a holy place. They would never trample on the environment like this, so these traces should have been left by people who planned to go up the mountain to rob tombs.
Shanju Mountain is not the highest mountain here, but it stands out because there are no continuous mountains on both sides of it. There are dead grasses at the foot of the mountain. Due to the dry weather, there are even warning signs to remind people to be careful of mountain fires.
Meng Xiang secretly found it interesting. He was about to walk up the mountain, but at this moment, he saw two young men sneaking up from the side of the mountain and whispered to Meng Xiang, "Friend, are you here to make a fortune?"
Meng Xiang didn't want to pay attention to them and said indifferently: "No, I'm just here for fun." After that, he wanted to go up the mountain. One of them pulled him and said, "Friend, there's no need to hide it. We are actually fellow travelers. There are poisonous snakes on the mountain. Several people have died. We are trying to find a way to drive the snakes away. Do you want to join us?"
Meng Xiang turned his head and said disdainfully: "You are afraid of even snakes, and yet you still do this business, haha. You can do whatever you want, but don't bother me." He was too lazy to talk to these people, and ignored their persuasion, and walked straight up the mountain.
The mountain was covered with weeds, and the higher you climbed, the denser the trees around you became. The trees on the mountain were all short trees, similar to locust trees, but they were basically 4 or 5 meters high, making it difficult for people to walk among them. Even if Meng Xiang had enough physical strength, it was still difficult for him to climb at high speed at the bottom of the mountain.
However, not long after climbing, Meng Xiang felt something was wrong. In the dense forest, with the help of the sunlight, it seemed that there were red spots hidden in the weeds or leaves. Before climbing to the mountainside, Meng Xiang stopped climbing, frowned, and carefully observed the movements around him.
"Hiss...hiss..."
Waves of strange roars gradually sounded from all around. The weeds, leaves, and trees were gradually entangled by this terrifying sound. Meng Xiang guessed that it was the sound of a snake.
It seems that the two tomb robbers at the foot of the mountain were right, there are indeed snakes on the mountain.
Snakes nearly 1 meter long emerged from the weeds, swaying their bodies, raising their heads, sticking out their tongues, and staring at Meng Xiang hungrily.
It is not surprising to see snakes in the forest, but this kind of snake is one that Meng Xiang has never seen before, and he also believes that such snakes cannot exist in the real world.
These snakes were emerald green and slippery, with no visible scale patterns. Their heads were triangular like rattlesnakes, with a pair of long, pointed fangs sticking out, and their eyes were fiery red.
Although Meng Xiang felt that these snakes were a bit strange, he did not take them seriously. His spiritual defense was getting stronger and stronger. With the bite force of the snake, it was impossible to penetrate the spiritual defense and his protective spiritual energy. However, he did not dare to be careless. He took out the HK-MP5 submachine gun from the ring and said to himself: "It was wrong for me to invade your territory, but you are too arrogant." He smiled lightly and pulled the trigger.
The sound of "bang bang bang" of gunfire penetrated the sound of snakes and spread far away. Meng Xiang was confident that he had a submachine gun with unlimited ammunition and did not need to be stingy with bullets. He thought that the green snakes in front of him would be wiped out by the submachine gun. However, these green snakes were extremely smart. They suddenly dived into the grass in tacit understanding and disappeared from Meng Xiang's sight in the blink of an eye.
Meng Xiang was a little surprised, but since he had already scared the green snake away, he didn't care and continued climbing up the mountain.
After climbing another 50 meters, the forest along the way was so dense that even sunlight could hardly penetrate. Meng Xiang felt that there were many dangers around him, so he was on guard. Suddenly, with a "whoosh", more than ten green snakes suddenly fell from the green leaves above his head. Although Meng Xiang reacted quickly, there were bunches of tree trunks standing around him. No matter how fast he was, he could not move quickly. He had to keep waving his spirit sword, trying to push away or chop the falling green snakes.
The green snake on his head broke into pieces, and what oozed out of the snake's body was not blood, but a foul-smelling black liquid. Fortunately, Meng Xiang had a spiritual defense, and the black liquid splashed on Meng Xiang's body, just like sticking to glass, and was splashed back. But before Meng Xiang could relax, hundreds of blood-red eyes appeared in the surrounding grass, and strange "hissing" sounds continued to sound in the darkness.
Even snakes have this ambush attack strategy, which is beyond Xiang's expectation. He regrets peeping into the wisdom of snakes. However, in his understanding, snakes are solitary animals, so how can they attack in groups
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" These green snakes shot out from the ground like arrows and shot towards Meng Xiang's body. Meng Xiang wanted to kill the green snakes that were falling from his head, and he could no longer care about them. He felt that these green snakes in front of him were not ordinary creatures, and he did not dare to use his body to test the bite force of these snakes. In a hurry, he had to crash into a tree next to him.
"Crack!" The tree broke with a sound. Meng Xiang barely avoided the attack of the green snake, but was caught off guard by the fallen branches. Two green snakes hidden in them had opened their mouths and bit Meng Xiang's left arm respectively.
The piercing pain pierced Meng Xiang's nerves. Even though he had unlocked his potential and blocked the pain, Meng Xiang still found it unbearable. Similar to being bitten by a werewolf, this pain came from the soul.
These green snakes are not ordinary creatures at all. They have magical powers. They penetrate Meng Xiang's spiritual defense and directly attack Meng Xiang's soul.
Meng Xiang felt scared at this moment, and spiritual energy overflowed from his body. The effectiveness of Kaio-ken increased to 12%. The shotgun spiritual energy covered him tightly, pushing forward like a wall, and instantly knocked away all the green snakes that besieged him.
As his spiritual energy increased, Meng Xiang felt the pain greatly reduced and felt relieved. However, he was unable to resist the numerous green snakes that attacked him on the hillside. He regretted having underestimated the killing power of the green snakes and quickly retreated down the mountain. A dense mass of green snakes appeared in the bushes again. They twisted their bodies against each other, rubbing against the ground, and emitted a momentum like a galloping horse, as if to demonstrate to Meng Xiang.
Seeing such a strong lineup, Meng Xiang dared not stay any further. He retreated to the foot of the mountain and breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of those green snakes, he was still frightened. He tore open his sleeves to check the injury and saw that there were four small holes on his left arm. Although the holes only penetrated the skin and failed to pass through the concentrated spiritual energy under the spiritual defense, the outer layer of the skin was already oozing with yellow liquid and began to rot.
"Damn it, what kind of curse is this? It turns out that people who go up the mountain will die from being bitten by these green snakes, with their bodies festering all over." Meng Xiang cursed. Judging from the speed at which the festering was happening, it would probably take less than two hours for the entire body to be affected. By then, the entire body would be festering, and there would be no hope for recovery.
Meng Xiang hurriedly took out the healing medicine from the ring. The healing medicine exchanged in the main god space can cure all external injuries and is effective in all cases. But for some reason, even after applying it this time, the wound showed no signs of improvement. Meng Xiang tried to focus his spiritual energy on the wound and heal it with spiritual energy. Although the festering skin showed no signs of improvement, the festering trend had been stopped.
Meng Xiang realized at this time how terrible these green snakes were. They were like curses from evil spirits. They were no longer physical injuries. It was impossible to cure them with medicines for external injuries. Fortunately, Meng Xiang's spiritual energy had the effect of exorcising evil spirits. He suppressed the curse of the snakes with his spiritual energy and was temporarily safe.
If the spiritual energy was not depleted, it would not be difficult to suppress the curse and safely pass 10. However, Meng Xiang still had to find a way to climb Mt. Ikoma, and even have a fierce battle with the ghost in front and the ghost in the back. Once the spiritual energy was weakened, he might die of festering all over his body.
However, Meng Xiang would not back down. He could not swallow this humiliation, and spent points to enter the plot world with great ambitions. However, he triggered the side plot, and before he could even climb to the mountainside, he had to go back with a failed record of having 6,000 points deducted by the main god. He could not accept this result.
However, the green snakes on the mountain were too fierce. How to get up the mountain was a problem. Hire a helicopter? Meng Xiang looked up at the top of the mountain. The sound of wind passed by, and he seemed to hear the green snakes laughing at him. Meng Xiang gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Damn it, wait and see, you will be in trouble tomorrow."
