Gou became a god or devil after splitting his body

"Such a terrifying giant snake, I'm afraid it's not a high-level beast."

High-level beasts are as powerful as warriors in the Yunzang realm, and are very powerful.

Li Yan, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the giant snake chasing him.

Fortunately, he was cautious and didn't show up rashly, but waited for a while after Zhao Honglong and the others left.

Otherwise, he would have collided with the returning terrifying giant snake.

The picture was so beautiful that Li Yan could feel his hair standing up just thinking about it.

"Should I catch up and see?"

Li Yan hesitated.

Finally, after thinking about it, Li Yan followed.

However, he didn't follow the road that the snake had roughly crushed out, but walked through the thorny jungle beside the road.

In this way, even if the giant snake suddenly returned, he would have more time to react.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, there was a fierce battle sound in front of him.

The shouting and scolding of humans, the hissing of giant snakes, the sound of tree trunks collapsing, and the sound of branches breaking came together.

Li Yan, whose nerves were tense, relaxed.

Then, he came to a tree more than 20 feet high, activated the identity method, and jumped with all his strength.

With the help of the reaction force from the branches on the tree, he reached the top of the tree in three or four steps.

Standing on a branch that was strong enough to bear his own weight, Li Yan looked far away and soon saw the lively fighting scene in the distance.

"Why are there so many people? It seems that I can't get any advantage."

Li Yan muttered with some disappointment.

It turned out that in the battle in the distance, a total of more than a dozen people appeared and besieged the giant snake that was chasing.

This made Li Yan, who followed with the idea of ​​​​fishermen benefiting from the snipe and clam fighting, very disappointed.

"No, there is still a chance."

It turned out that just when Li Yan was disappointed, the giant snake suddenly went crazy.

The snake body, which was originally dark black and like metal casting, suddenly turned red.

Moreover, as time went by, the red color became deeper and deeper.

The destructive power it caused naturally became greater and greater.

The humans, who were originally at ease, could not have expected such a scene to happen, and were caught off guard.

In the blink of an eye, three people were hit by the snake's tail and flew dozens of meters away, knocking down countless trees, and their bodies exploded in the end.

There were two more people, one was smashed by the giant snake's truck-like head, and the other was bitten to pieces by the giant snake's dagger-like sharp teeth, and then swallowed into its stomach.

After losing five companions at once, the remaining people panicked.

They did not dare to continue attacking the giant snake, but fled in all directions.

It was obvious that the giant snake was violent, and if they did not flee now, when would they flee.

Looking at the humans fleeing in different directions, the giant snake stood up, and its head was already ten meters off the ground.

Looking at the humans who were as small as ants with indifference, its eyes were full of bloodthirstiness.

The huge snake swallowed and spit, and then located the smell of the thief.

Then, it raised its head to the sky and let out a hissing sound, and quickly opened the way in the direction where the smell came from.

The battlefield, which was just lively, became unusually quiet at this time.

Even though there was a lot of fresh flesh and blood here, no wild beasts came to enjoy it, because of the terrifying breath left by the giant snake.

Li Yan was not an animal, so he could not detect the pheromones left by the giant snake, so the quiet battlefield had no deterrence for him.

"See if you can find anything good."

On the big tree, Li Yan had seen clearly, except for the five people killed by the giant snake when it went crazy.

There were still many people around, who should have been killed by the giant snake before, but at that time, Li Yan was still on the way.

With some expectation, Li Yan quickly got down from the big tree and ran quickly in the direction he had located before.

Soon, Li Yan arrived at the battlefield.

All he saw were fallen trees, huge snake paths everywhere, and smelly blood everywhere.

"It seems that the giant snake should be injured, but I don't know where it was injured."

Before, the distance was too far, and Li Yan could only see the size of a thumb when looking at people, so how could he see the location of the wound on the giant snake.

After pointing to a crooked tree that had been confirmed to be intact before, Li Yan found the first corpse around it.

"Damn, it's broken into two pieces. It seems that being a garbage man is not a good job."

Looking at the body with intestines scattered all over the ground and broken into two pieces, Li Yan looked a little ugly.

If Li Yan had just come here, he might not look ugly, but would be ready to vomit at any time.

It was because he had been in this world for such a long time, killed many beasts, and even killed several people, that he adapted a lot.

Li Yan touched the corpse very quickly. He had to be fast, because who knows when the giant snake will come back.

Li Yan didn't look at the things he touched and put them directly into a blood-colored bag half the size of a person.

This is what Li Yan used to pack prey. Unexpectedly, it was used to pack the spoils he got from touching corpses today.

It took nearly a cup of tea for Li Yan to touch the bodies of twelve people in total.

This is still relatively intact.

There are also some corpses that were directly smashed into pieces by the giant snake. Clothes and flesh were mixed together. There was no value in touching the corpses, so Li Yan gave up.

"Good, today's harvest is rich."

Even without counting, Li Yan can roughly estimate that there are at least a thousand taels of silver notes.

"As expected of the Zhao family, they are rich."

Yes, these are all members of the Zhao family. You can tell by the clothes they wear. The word Zhao is embroidered on the cuffs and collars.

Then Li Yan put the blood bag, which was one-third full, on his back and ran away.

"It's exciting to run after touching the corpse."

As soon as this thought flashed through Li Yan's mind, a long knife cut across his neck and the blood bag fell to the ground.

"Why is it you?"

Li Yan held his neck tightly and looked at the middle-aged man with a knife in front of him in shock.

"Oh, you know me, it seems that you should have followed us all the way."

"I didn't expect that there was a little bug like you behind me. It was my mistake that I didn't find it, but it's not too late to make up for it now."

The middle-aged man was Zhao Honglong.

However, his current state was obviously not very good. Blood foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his left hand hung down weakly, and his clothes were tattered and full of scarlet blood, which seemed to be corroded by snake blood.

The hand holding the knife in his right hand was still trembling slightly at this time. It was obvious that the sneak attack just now made his already serious injuries even more serious.

"Didn't the big snake chase you? Why are you here?"

Li Yan asked with difficulty.

"It's just a diversion. When the giant snake caught up with me, I knew that the smell must have exposed our whereabouts."

"Luckily, I met family members on the way. They fought against the giant snake with me, otherwise I might have been killed by the giant snake in one encounter."

"How could I make the same mistake again? I gave the thing to one of the tribesmen. Hehe, he didn't expect that I gave him a life-saving talisman."

"Use his life to exchange for my life."

Perhaps it was because he was emotional after escaping death. Facing a dying person, Zhao Honglong vented like a neurotic.

"Hey, why am I telling you something?"

"You can only blame your bad luck. You just happened to appear in front of me when I ran back."

"But you stole things from my Zhao family, so you deserve this disaster."

After Zhao Honglong finished speaking, he kicked Li Yan, who was still holding his neck before he died, and bent down to pick up the bloody bag that he was holding under him.

However, he had just taken two steps when the tip of the knife pierced through his chest, and drops of sticky blood dripped from the tip of the knife.

Zhao Honglong's face revealed an expression of disbelief, and before he lowered his head, the tip of the knife quickly withdrew from his body.

The next moment, his head fell off.

"Be careful in the next life, not everyone will die if they are killed."

Li Yan held the blood-stained steel knife and stared at the headless body at his feet indifferently.

But the next moment, his expression changed.

"What? The banknotes are all broken, and there is nothing good in the pocket. I thought it was a big fish."

After touching the corpse, Li Yan's face was not very good, until he saw the big knife in the corpse's hand.

After picking it up, Li Yan's face looked much better.

"It turned out to be a three-hundred-forged weapon produced by [Meteoric Steel]. It is worth a lot of money. Not bad, I made a profit."

[Meteoric Steel] is a large blacksmith shop across Shannan Road, a total of three states. It can not only forge five-hundred-forged weapons, but also spiritual weapons used by innate warriors. It is a thousand-year-old brand in Shannan Road.

The weapons they forge will be branded with the mark of [Meteoric Steel] and the number of forgings.

A three-hundred-forged big knife like this has a market price of no less than 300 taels, which is expensive.

After packing up all the things he picked up, Li Yan left quickly.

Soon after he left, a large group of people wearing Zhao family costumes surrounded the entire battlefield.

"Great elder, Zhao Honglong is dead. He was stabbed in the heart from behind and then beheaded."

"It might have been done by someone I know."

After checking Zhao Honglong's body, the man immediately came to a tall old man to report his observations.

"How sure are you?"

The old man's voice was loud, and there was no emotion on his face.

"I'm 70% sure."

"Zhao Honglong is a blood exchange warrior. Even if he was seriously injured, he would not lose his vigilance and expose his back. Therefore, it is very likely that he met someone familiar and relaxed his vigilance."

"Can you find out who did it?"

"Eighty percent of them are outsiders, and 20% are our clansmen. Because the property of other clansmen was looted, the possibility of outsiders is very high, but it is not ruled out that someone deliberately created a false impression to confuse the public."

"Please give me ten days, and grant me the right to investigate. I will definitely catch the murderer."

"Seven days, I want you to catch the person in seven days. The clan will not allow meritorious officials to die inexplicably."

"Can you do it?"

Facing the old man's indifferent eyes, the man's back was instantly wet with cold sweat, and finally gritted his teeth: "I can do it."

"Very good, if you do this well, the family will not treat you unfairly."

"Zhao Hongcheng, come here."

As the old man spoke, he took out a white jade bottle stained with blood from his arms.

A tall, thin middle-aged man stepped forward immediately.

"Take this back to the clan, and let each person carry more. I don't want any accidents to happen."

"Yes, elder."

Zhao Hongcheng bowed respectfully and carefully took the small jade bottle.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took half of the people away.

Afterwards, the elder also left.

The rest of the people were responsible for cleaning up the scene and taking the remains of the tribe members back to the tribe’s cemetery for burial.
