The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 150
But running out doesn't mean it's safe.Since those people can think of pretending to be Yuan Mu and the others to gain their trust, it means they are not fools.

Knowing that he was only temporarily safe, Yang Yang thought about it, and decided to hurry up before it got dark, or to find a place to settle down quickly.

As for why those people insisted on lying to Yang Yang like this, instead of just throwing him down and snatching the Snake Egg away, that's not what he has to consider now.

Thinking of this, he stood up holding the snake egg, ready to continue to set off.

But this time, he tripped over a branch before he had run far. Because he was still thinking about his own food and clothing, when he realized that he was about to fall, the snake egg in his hand was about to fall to the ground.

At that moment, Yang Yang made the fastest reaction that a mortal can have. He raised his hand and threw the snake egg in his hand, and when the egg was doing a parabolic motion in the air, he moved towards the direction where it landed. Take advantage of the trend.

Steadily caught the snake egg that was about to hit the ground.But he caught it, and he was injured for it.

But at this time, Yang Yang didn't care about these anymore. After catching Ba Snake Egg, he put it in his arms and looked carefully, and only after he found that there was no damage did he plan to stand up again.But at this moment, he realized something was wrong.

The entire ground was vibrating with an abnormal rhythm, as if someone was beating a huge drum deep underground.

Could it be that group of fake Yuan Mu and the others chasing after them?Yang Yang looked nervously at the direction behind him, but saw nothing.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that the intricate and intertwined tree roots under him suddenly shrank back as if they had encountered something terrible.

All of a sudden, the whole forest was filled with the rustling sound of tree roots rubbing against each other, and those noises spread away centered on Yang Yang.

After 5 minutes, the noise under the ground finally stopped, and the tree roots on the ground also stopped moving, and what appeared in front of Yang Yang was a road.

Looking at the road paved with stone slabs, Yang Yang was stunned for a while, and then he slowly stood up with his still weak legs.

The injured hand was pulled during the movement, and a burst of pain made him turn his head to look, only to realize that the cut on his hand was bleeding.

After Yang Yang did a simple bandage to stop the bleeding, he hugged Ba Snake's egg and took the first step towards that road.

Where does this road lead?Who paved it?What will you encounter on the road afterwards?
He couldn't answer these questions, but he still decided to take this path.It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid, but as long as he thinks of the fake Yuan Mu chasing after him for an unknown distance, he can only bite the bullet and go forward.

Compared with someone who has no experience in wild survival and may get lost in the forest or encounter unknown monsters at any time, Yang Yang prefers this stone road that looks flat.

Thinking of this, he hugged Ba Snake's egg and quickly ran towards the distance.

The stone road should have been around for some years, maybe because it has been covered by tree roots all year round, and it has been corroded severely even if it is not exposed to the sun, but you can still see the reliefs engraved on it.

After running for a certain distance, Yang Yang found that the group of unknown monsters headed by fake Yuan Mu did not chase after him, so he slowed down a little.

As soon as he calmed down, his heart began to beat drums.But even so, he still didn't have the slightest idea of ​​leaving this road and going to the forest.

Human inertia is probably like this. When there is a flat road, no one wants to go on a rough mountain road.

So in order to distract himself from thinking about those strange things, Yang Yang looked around, trying to convince himself that this road is safe.

At this time, he found that the reliefs that were almost corroded seemed to be describing something, just like the murals of primitive people.

The relief is engraved with a legend about a giant snake, because many places have been damaged, so Yang Yang can only complete it with his own brain while looking at it.

However, even so, he still guessed what the giant snake in the story was, especially after thinking that this was the last place where the survivors of the Wu clan once lived, he became more sure of his guess.

"I didn't expect them to be very kind to you." Yang Yang stepped over a scattered branch lightly, bowed his head and said something to the snake egg in his hand.

As an egg, Ba Snake naturally couldn't respond to him, but he didn't care, just like a child who would talk to his toys, knowing that those toys would not respond to him, but still persistently chatting with them.

The current Yang Yang has this kind of mentality. He knows very well in his heart that it is impossible for Ba Snake to communicate with him as an egg, but he will still tell the egg in his hand when he sees some stone carvings.

After walking like this for more than three hours, he took out his mobile phone, which was about to run out of power, and looked at it, and found that the time had come to 04:30 in the afternoon.

"Fortunately, it's summer." He didn't know if he was talking to himself, but he looked at the egg in his hand and said, "But we have to hurry up, otherwise we will sleep in the wild tonight. "

Saying so, he speeded up, and 15 minutes later, the stone road was cut off, as if someone had cut it with a knife, and another forest appeared in front of him.

Yang Yang looked at the stone road that was cut off without any warning, and stepped into the forest after hesitating.

Fortunately, this time, he didn't have to walk for long. After walking for a few minutes, he saw the edge of the forest. The most surprising thing was that he saw a village not far from the forest.

The stockade looks a bit like Zuo Yong's hometown. In the forest, you can still see the clothes that people hang up in the stockade, fluttering back and forth with the wind in the sun.

It was as if the long trek had finally found its direction, Yang Yang smiled and walked in that direction.

In this stockade, traces of people's lives can be seen everywhere, such as clothes drying on the turret, bundles of firewood outside the house, and grape trellises erected under the trees in the yard.

It's just that when he searched around this small village, but didn't find any living animals, a chill came to his heart.

He recalled the strange stories he had read. The weirdest and most inexplicable thing in it was that people often found some ghost ships on the sea. Everything on them was normal, and some even the food was warm. The people have disappeared.No one knows what happened to them, and no one knows where they went.

Such associations made Yang Yang bloodless, he glanced at the platform in the middle of the village, and ran out as if fleeing.

Because he ran too fast, his chest hurt a little, but he finally ran out of the village.

"It seems that we are really going to sleep in the wilderness tonight." Yang Yang panted, mocking himself at Ba Snakedan.

After saying this, he stood up and was about to leave, but inadvertently saw a stone tablet at the gate of the village.

The stele is not small, but it should be some years old, half of the stele has been buried in the ground, just like the stone road that was walked before.

The relief sculpture on it was almost weathered, Yang Yang blinked, walked over unconsciously, bent down to look carefully, and finally confirmed that the painting on it was a huge snake.

Yang Yang turned his head and took another look at the village, he suddenly understood who this village belonged to.

But no matter who it belongs to, as a mortal, he definitely doesn't belong here, so he sighed and turned his head to leave.

And at this moment, a white shadow flashed in front of him, which startled him. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the one who appeared in front of him was Meng Xiu, who had lost contact with him since yesterday. .

"Meng Xiu?" The relieved Yang Yang called out tentatively.

The latter seemed to be stimulated by these words, shook his ears, grinned and began to attack him without saying a word.

Yang Yang was taken aback, then seemed to think of something, he didn't bother to explain, picked up the snake egg and started running into the village.

At this time, Yang Yang's mind is still clear. He knows that with his physical strength, he can't run away from Meng Xiu. He can hide in those houses for a while when he runs into the village, but if he is in the forest, he has a little chance of winning. All gone.
