With a thought, the slowness is released.

"You, better not move."

Xu Ran glanced at the young scholar and said to the four people: "You did not show any intention of harming me that day, and I would not attack you for no reason, but if you do not cooperate, it is hard to say.

I just saw you from afar and just wanted to come over and say hello and ask some things by the way."

Feeling that his movements were obviously slow, the young scholars exchanged glances with Taoist priests and others, and they were already tacit. With this move, we can't afford to offend...

The scribe quickly put away the black fog and smiled apologized: "This adult, the young man has no malice. He just thought about what happened that day, and was nervous and subconsciously made an act of trying to escape."

Middle-aged Taoist priests also smoothed out the situation, "All old friends, why should they be so tense?

We were drinking and having fun that day. If the Mountain God hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have to retreat in a hurry. Maybe we have become confidants. Do you think so? Haha..."

Xu Ran nodded, signaled that they all sat down, poured wine one by one, and said, "My name is Xu Ran, I want to ask you some things."

The four demons are mainly middle-aged Taoist priests, and he said, "You don't need to be polite, please speak."

Xu Ran briefly told the story of being attacked by the bear demon that day and asked: "Do you know where are bear demons appearing outside Taohua Ridge?"

"I've never seen this before..." The middle-aged Taoist priest kept shaking his head, "Where are you?"

The two hunters who had been silent all the time looked at each other, and one of them said, "Sir, we brothers seem to have seen each other..."

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Xu Ran said, "Your name is Snake Da, right? Why do you stop talking?"

Never mentioned my name in front of Xu Ran, the hunter said in horror: "How do you know my name by sir?"

Xu Ran smiled, "You will know at a glance. You don't have to panic. Tell me where you have seen the traces of the bear demon."

Can you tell the name at a glance?

I'm afraid that this master's supernatural powers are no less than those of Lord Shan God?

He didn't dare to hide it from Xu Ran, and Snake nodded quickly and said, "A long time ago, my brother had not yet transformed, and he saw an altar in the depths of that mountain.

There are various animal bones piled up on the altar, and there are also many humans. The gods sacrificed to them are like half bear and half human. I think it may be related to the bear demon."

Xu Ran looked at the mountain he was referring to, which was on the edge of the periphery of Taohua Ridge, and then began to enter the depths to the north side of the mountain.

The Snake Da said that it was possible, but I don’t know how long it took for what he said a long time ago, and then said, “How many years have you brothers transformed?”

Snake Avenue: "It's almost ten years since we were raised by humans earlier. After following the snake charmer for more than ten years, we have become human and have the opportunity to transform."

At this time, Shi Er, who had never spoken, looked at Xu Ran expectantly and said, "I'll ask you about it. Since you came from the county town at the foot of the mountain, have you ever seen an elderly snake charmer in recent years?"

Xu Ran shook his head, there was no impression in his predecessor's memory, "I haven't seen it before."

The look of Snake Er's expectant eyes dimmed instantly, and then he was filled with a look of disappointment. He sighed and said, "He is probably in his sixties when he is alive, and how many ordinary people can survive past seventy. I'm afraid we won't see him anymore. Alas..."

Xu Ran said curiously: "Why didn't you go see him earlier?"

Snake Avenue: "When we first transformed, the demonic energy was too strong. If we rashly entered the city, we would easily be discovered and caused a disaster.

When our cultivation level is slightly improved, Lord Shan Shen issued a ban on the mountain. All demons and monsters in the mountain are not allowed to enter the place where the human race gathers at the foot of the mountain without permission."

He paused and said, "We met you that day and invited you to have a drink together, so we had a plan.

After you have eaten and drunk, we guide you down the mountain and make you owe us favors, so we entrust you to help us find that person.

As a result, before we could say it, Lord Shan God appeared. How dare we bear the power of Lord Shan God? We had to run away. We didn’t expect to meet you again today.”

So that's it, and with the fact that the four demons did not have the evil spirit, Xu Ran felt a little fond of them and said, "You brothers help me lead the way. If you find the trace of the bear demon, you can ask for a few questions after I go down the mountain."

"So good!" Snake Big Snake Er hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xu Ran to the end, "Thank you for your accomplishment."

The middle-aged Taoist raised his glass again, "Xiaodao also wishes a glass to the elders on behalf of the two brothers."

After drinking the wine in the glass, the Taoist priest looked at the sky and said tremblingly: "It seems that the friendship between two snakes and snake charmers has moved the world. God sent Lord Xu to help his brother fulfill his wish!"

Seeing the middle-aged Taoist priest so moved, Xu Ran also became interested and said, "Let's set off immediately. On the way, you brothers will tell me about the past with the snake charmer."

...

The speed of snake and snake two was much slower. They prefer to become big snakes and winded among the trees. Xu Ran used his sword to speed with them, and listened to them as he walked.

It turns out that the snake charmer cherishes his snake very much. After the snake grows too big and is not suitable for the snake charmer to bear it on his body, he does not sell it or kill it, but put it back to the mountains.

When we are about to part, we advise it not to scare pedestrians, and not to hurt the livestock raised by people. We teach it to accumulate merits and may one day turn into a dragon and become a god.

At that time, Snake Da had already understood human nature, and it had equal feelings and righteousness. He went to the mountains to find Snake II for the snake charmer, and then left after he was tamed. Snake II did the same later.

Their past actually coincides with the story of "Snake Man" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Xu Ran decided to return to the county town to help them check whether the old man was alive.

Doing this will not bring merits, but will also make you feel comfortable in your heart.

When they saw Lao Wang and Zhang Yuner, Snake Big Snake Er was so scared that he hid behind Xu Ran, especially Zhang Yuner, who did not know how to restrain his murderous aura, made them afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

Comfort the snake brothers, and then gave a kick to recall Yan Chixia. After discussing, the few decided to continue moving forward and rushed to the hinterland of the mountain before dark to rest. After resting for a night, they could go over the mountain to check the altar dedicated to the bear god during the day.

...

It's night.

Halfway through the mountain, the mountain wind blew the bonfire, and the tents were clearly extinguished. Yan Chixia's snoring sounds like thunder came from one of them from time to time.

Not far from the tent, two big snakes were in the grass, and they couldn't stand the noise of snoring. They crawled a few feet away before falling asleep with peace of mind.

There were two tents that were very close to each other. Xu Ran in the tent on the outside did not fall asleep. He just sacked the power of the ox and tigers before he pushed Yan Chixia down in the system.

Killing the first monster with a system rating of "BOSS", Xu Ran almost opened all his skills and won the remaining health. Because of using the Gossip Shield skill, he could not automatically beat the Knight BOSS.

It seems that I have to push him again in the future.

In helplessness, Xu Ran took the medicine and snacks that recovered blood and blue, and began to practice the second article of "The Record of Chunyang Xuanbao" given by Gu Qingqing.

He found that focusing on practicing Taoism can not only slowly increase experience points, but also accelerate the recovery of blood bars and mana bars.

Suddenly, in the bushes more than ten feet away, a large area of ​​black mist quickly surrounded, and a stream of them poked out like tentacles.

When the nearest tent was several feet away, the black mist condensed together and turned into a huge monster wearing thick leather armor and holding a large sword on his back.

He bared his fangs and stared at the tent five or six feet away. The snoring sounds inside made him inexplicably curious.

Are the same kind of sleeping inside?

While the monster was hesitating, a sharp sword light suddenly flashed beside him. He hurriedly returned to the sword block, and heard Canglang's voice, and was shocked and staggered back.

Before he could stand firm, the knife had already attacked again, and he inserted his weakness in no time.

The monster fell to the ground tremblingly. The Zhizhi Shuai Shuai, who was on duty, immediately stepped back and blocked the nearest tent. His paper-like face numbly locked in the black mist in the bushes.

Xu Ran sensed the abnormal movement of Zhazhi Lingshuai immediately, and his body flashed and slipped into Zhang Yuner's tent next to him like a loach.
