Chapter 438: Snake Catchers, Four Snakes Enter the Mountain Gate
Wars are breaking out everywhere in the Central Plains of China.
Along the way, Xu Hei also heard about the death of the Emperor Qin and the incompetence of the Second Emperor Qin, but he didn't care about it. What happened in the human world had nothing to do with him. He had his own things to do.
…………
Wushan Mountains.
Compared with when Xu Hei left, this place has changed dramatically. A large number of mountains and forests have been cut down, forests have been reclaimed, and countless monster tribes have been expelled and slaughtered.
The Tiangui Sect has built five cities here.
Just because this is the location of Wuyou City.
Wuyou City has been destroyed for several years, but the excavation of Wuyou City has never stopped. From time to time, a lot of good things have been fished out of it, driving the rapid development of the economy.
The small gathering point established outside the city has become a big city.
Such a rapid development speed is not because of how powerful the Tiangui Sect is, but because of the intervention of the Shengui Sect.
With the secret support of such a behemoth, it is hard not to think that the changes here will be fast.
Of course, the Tiangui Sect disdained to care about the disputes in the secular world of Qin. After Qin Xuanji gave his million puppets to the Qin Emperor for burial, he did not owe Qin anything.
The fall of the Qin Emperor was one reason, and the Tiangui Sect no longer interfered was another reason, which accelerated the decline of Qin.
Xu Hei and his party flew over the sky, his consciousness swept the land below, and his brows slightly frowned.
"Is this still the Wushan Mountains?"
Xu Hei looked at the place he was once familiar with, with deep doubts.
The mountains have disappeared, cities are dotted everywhere, and the plains are vast and boundless. He left for only three or four years, and such a huge change has occurred, giving Xu Hei a sense of unreality.
The location of Wuyou City was once shrouded in a layer of fog. The fog of Wushan was the only thing left, but it was limited to the Wuyou City area.
Xu Hei leaped and shuttled through Wushan. He did not find even a familiar figure. The former group of monsters were all gone.
"Where did they all go?"
Xu Hei returned to the elephant tribe where Man Jin once lived. There were no elephants here. There was no land, only a vast lake.
There were two fishermen fishing on the shore.
Xu Hei came back for revenge, and visiting his friends was just a side trip. He never thought that the things and people here were different, and the changes were so huge.
He landed beside the fisherman and said, "Old man, did a group of elephants live here before?"
These two old men were not simple. Their cultivation had reached the initial stage of Jindan. This was considered a strong man in the Central Plains.
The two men quickly stood up, put away their fishing rods, and looked at the black-robed young man who suddenly appeared with vigilance.
"What elephant?"
One of the tall and thin old men frowned and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
Another short and fat old man quietly had a communication talisman in his palm. At the same time, medicine powder was sprinkled out of his sleeves, forming a poisonous mist invisibly, coming with the wind.
Xu Hei frowned. It has only been a few years since he came back. Are people so insidious now?
"Brother Xu, it's useless to ask this question. Watch me!"
Behind the two old men, a cold laugh suddenly appeared. It was the Nine-headed Insect standing behind them.
"Pah!"
The short and fat old man crushed the communication talisman in his palm without hesitation. The talisman turned into a ray of light and soared into the sky, but was swallowed by a head of the Nine-headed Insect.
The two people's faces changed drastically. Before they could react, another head of the Nine-headed Insect rushed out, turned into a rope, tied their necks, and lifted them up.
"Each of my nine heads has a special ability. Now it's the ability of the sixth head, the soul control technique!" The Nine-headed Insect explained.
At this moment, his sixth head had a burst of black light rushing into the center of one of the eyebrows. The short old man's eyes were dull and he fell into a state of confusion.
The soul control technique can forcibly control a person's mind. It is the secret method of the blood inheritance of the Hydra.
"Senior, spare me, I am from Qin..."
The other person then thought of begging for mercy, but he was also controlled by the spirit control technique halfway through his words, and his eyes were confused.
Xu Hei remained calm and asked, "Three years ago, was there a herd of elephants living here?"
"I don't know."
Both of them shook their heads.
Xu Hei wrinkled his face and said, "Who are you, and what happened here?"
The two of them answered questions with their eyes blank, like zombies.
One of the two was a senior official of Qin, and the other was a secret sentry of the Skynet organization. They were whispering and discussing secrets here, but they were caught by Xu Hei, so he thought of killing them to silence them.
As for what happened here.
Three years ago, the Tiangui Sect stationed here and built a lot of buildings. Wushan had already changed a lot, and they couldn't remember what the elephant tribe and lion tribe were.
"I see." Xu Hei had no expression on his face.
According to this development, the monsters living in Wushan are afraid of death.
He knew that there was a guardian god in the depths of Wushan, named the Demon Lord, but he didn't know what his situation was, and why he couldn't even protect the monster tribe.
Of course, it is also possible that Man Jin and his men migrated to the depths of Wushan. After all, the wilderness is so large that it is impossible for humans to occupy everywhere. They only occupied the area around Wuyou City and the periphery of Wushan.
"However, the Snake Catching Sect did capture a group of monsters and also wanted a snake. Because Qin was involved in this matter, I have an impression of it."
The old man from Qin suddenly said.
"What?" Xu Hei's face sank.
Immediately, he did not hesitate and rushed towards the direction of the Snake Catching Sect at full speed. The Nine-headed Insect killed the two men and threw them into the lake, following behind.
…………
Snake Catcher Sect.
Today's Snake Catching Sect is much in decline compared to the past. In that battle, the elders and disciples suffered countless casualties, and 70% of them were lost at the hands of Xu Hei.
The remaining 30% also ran away due to encroachment by external forces. That is to say, Xu Qingzhi's remaining power is still there, and they do have some unknown background, so they have not been destroyed.
Later, they played a huge role in helping the Tianpuppet Sect to open up wasteland, gained a lot, and entered a period of rapid development.
This barely made up for a small part of the losses that year.
And recently, they got another chance, a chance to change their fate against the odds.
"Elders, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed this year. There will be no need for you to take action at that time. We only need to catch some fish that have slipped through the net. From now on, the territory of the southern region will be decided by the Snake Catcher Sect. How about it?"
The little overlord Xiang Fei personally came to the Snake Catching Sect to seek cooperation.
Taking sides again.
When the Chu State was still there, they were forced to take sides. Because they wavered and missed the opportunity, they were resented by the Qin State.
But this time, all the elders sided with Xiang Jiajun without hesitation.
"Brother Xiang, the world has been suffering from Qin for a long time. Qin Xuanji is not a human son and has forced us into such a situation. It is really hateful!"
"I'm willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"
All the elders echoed in unison.
It must be admitted that the Snake Catching Sect made the right choice this time. If nothing else happens, the Snake Catching Sect will definitely get a share of the pie when they enter the capital of Qin.
This is a great opportunity for them to rise. If they seize this opportunity, they will surely turn around!
That night, the Snake Catcher Sect held a banquet to entertain Xiang Jiajun.
For this banquet, they were not stingy and planned to kill some of the monsters they had captured back then and use them as dishes. This is hard food that you can’t even pay for, and other sects may not have it!
…………
In the cage behind the mountain.
Man Jin was like a corpse, chained and lying on the ground. His two tusks had been pulled out, and his breath was like a gossamer. His originally indestructible skin was covered with scars.
These injuries were several years old and had not healed, and the cage was stained with blood.
The reason why he never died was because he still had another wish.
He also wanted to see his children.
Back then, in order to protect the young elephants, he decided to sacrifice all the adult elephants, including himself, to lure the enemy away.
He didn't know whether it was successful or whether the youngest son of the elephant clan had been discovered.
During that roundup, his wife died, and the rest of the tribe suffered heavy casualties. Only he had his meridians sealed and has survived to this day.
But he had a premonition that today, his life would come to an end.
A muscular man walked up to the cage. He was a butcher from the Snake Catching Sect, and was responsible for killing monster beasts, skinning them and removing their bones.
It is said that he can completely remove the bones of monster beasts without cutting off a piece of meat. His skills are exquisite and he is known as the contemporary chef and has countless reputations.
When he saw this man, Manjin knew that his life was coming to an end.
"Originally there was some use in keeping you, maybe we could lure the snake out, but in order to entertain Xiang Jiajun, I have to sacrifice you."
The butcher said, let Manjin be a sensible person.
"If you want to eat me, it depends on whether your teeth can bite me or not!"
Man Jin would rather die than surrender and made sarcastic remarks.
"Don't worry about it!" the butcher sneered.
He was about to open the cage, drag him out and kill him.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderous explosion in the sky, as if something hit the Snake Catching Sect's formation, shaking the entire sect inside and outside, like an earthquake erupting.
"What's going on?" The butcher looked into the distance.
"Boom!!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another deafening sound, which suddenly spread all over the world, like a meteorite falling, and the world trembled.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Some ancestors who were in seclusion woke up from the depths of the back mountain, stood up from the ground, and rushed towards the main entrance of the sect. This made the butcher holding the knife immediately realize that something was wrong! An enemy has broken in!
Snake Catching Sect, main entrance.
"boom!!!"
Another impact and bombardment came, and the outer sect's formation was filled with cracks, getting bigger and bigger, like glass that was about to break, filling half of the sky.
All the elders and disciples rushed out, looking towards the horizon with frightened expressions.
Before he could take action, he heard a bang, the formation shattered, and a big hole appeared in the sky.
From the time the noise came to the time they arrived, the formation was shattered in just two breaths! What an amazing method this is!
Outside the cave, four figures stood, with eyes like ice, looking down ahead.
"What's going on?"
Xiang Fei and others also followed, looking at the four figures, their pupils shrank.
