What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Gu Xunzhi had already prepared the answer to this question, but he didn't expect her to ask it at this time.

He cleared his throat:

"we are--"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started, Ren Zhen's voice came from behind him, interrupting his words:

"We came here to find a snake demon... Do you know anything about hunting in this area?"

As soon as Ren Sha said these words, the atmosphere in the hut suddenly became tense and delicate.Gu Xunzhi turned his head to look at his senior in astonishment, not understanding why he so easily stated the purpose of their trip in front of outsiders.There was no expression on Ren Zhen's face, Gu Xunzhi couldn't see what he was thinking, he could only guess that he might be testing.After seeing the senior brother, Gu Xunzhi turned back to look at the female hunter. He saw the female hunter's face clearly through the little light. I don't know if it was his illusion. Gu Xunzhi felt that the woman's expression showed a strange expression. .

"Snake demon?" Her voice seemed to have become a little stiff, "I haven't heard of any snake demon around here."

She obviously doesn't know how to lie, and anyone can tell that she is lying.This made Gu Xunzhi also puzzled, why did she lie about this?

Ren Zhen didn't seem to notice that she was lying, she just nodded:

"Oh, I heard that the snake demon's territory is still some distance away from here. It's probably normal if you don't know."

Ren Zhen didn't seem to intend to continue the conversation when she said this, but the female hunter didn't intend to end it like this, she asked very vigilantly:

"What do you want to do with the snake demon?"

"It's nothing." Ren Xiao said, "Since you don't know, then we'll find it ourselves."

Ren Sha said so, so she stopped talking.But he kept staring at the hostess in front of him with bright eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her expression.But the hostess had a subtle attitude, she seemed to be taken aback when Ren Shae mentioned the snake demon, and seemed very nervous.But if she is afraid, it doesn't look like it.

Gu Xunzhi became nervous when he saw this situation.He didn't know what the senior brother had discovered, and kept turning his mind, deducing several possibilities back and forth.In any case, a woman alone here is always suspicious.

Could she be a basilisk?Gu Xunzhi didn't think so.The hunting gear in this hut is slightly smaller than ordinary hunting gear, and they are obviously custom-made according to the hunter's figure. There are so many leather goods piled up here, both old and new, obviously she hunted them herself.Gu Xunzhi knew that snakes don't chew when they eat, but just swallow them raw. If she was really that snake demon, she probably wouldn't have accumulated so many furs.

There is no snake demon near Bikong Mountain, and Gu Xunzhi has never seen one before, so he doesn't know what the snake demon likes to transform into.However, Gu Xunzhi recalled that when he just entered the room, he accidentally touched the hand of the hostess and felt her skin was warm.

Thinking about it this way, probably not.

Knowing that she was not a snake demon, Gu Xunzhi was a little relieved, but he still felt quite nervous. After all, after hearing Ren Xiao mentioning the snake demon, the hostess's behavior was a bit strange.

What is the relationship between her and the snake demon, is it an enemy or a friend?Or did they not have any special relationship at first, but just changed their attitudes because they were both monsters?

Although Gu Xunzhi was not as capable as Ren Sha, he vaguely guessed that this female hunter was not human.However, the situation was unclear at this time, and Gu Xunzhi didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only pretend that he didn't notice anything.

After the female hunter finished talking with Ren Xun, she lowered her head and sewed a few more stitches, but she seemed to be upset, so she quickly put down her work and raised her head to look at Ren Xun again:

"I have never seen the snake monster you are talking about. But after all, I have lived here for a long time, and I am very familiar with this area. It seems that I have heard of something like a snake monster. You are looking for a snake Demon, I can help you too."

The female hunter had been looking at Ren Zhen before, but this time she was speaking to Gu Xunzhi.Maybe she saw that Gu Xunzhi was better at speaking.However, after hearing this, Gu Xunzhi didn't dare to agree without authorization, and turned to look at Ren Sha.I only heard Ren Sha say:

"We are already very grateful that you allow us to stay here tonight. As for finding the snake demon, it is our own business, so there is no need to trouble yourself."

Ren Xiao's attitude was cold, but her eyes were still fixed on her.

This female hunter is not good at lying, nor is she very good at covering up.She seemed to realize that the person on the opposite side had already noticed her identity, and she seemed to be willing to go all out:

"Let me tell you the truth. I do know that there is a snake demon nearby. I don't know if it is the one you are looking for. Her territory is a little far away from me. I usually don't go there, but... it's not I can't find it. If you need it, I can help you lead the way, but you must tell me why you are looking for the snake demon... Did you know her before?"

Ren Zhen was waiting for these words, he leaned out from the darkness, his eyes glistened under the light:

"I don't know that snake, and I'm not interested in knowing it. I'm here to trouble her."

A gust of wind blew in through the crack of the door, and the bean-like lamp flickered, making Ren Xun's face flickering.There was no smile on his lips, and his face looked extremely cold amidst the changing light and shadow. The Orion flinched involuntarily, and asked hesitantly:

"Are you... demon extermination?"

Gu Xunzhi had heard a little about exorcising demons, and some practitioners who failed in their practice made exorcising demons their profession.The big and small monsters in the mountains are very afraid of this kind of people.Seeing the look on the female hunter's face now, Gu Xunzhi understood that she must be a monster.

Gu Xunzhi shook his head:

"No, we are looking for that snake demon for other reasons."

Hearing what he said, the hostess seemed to be relieved, and quickly recovered her original mood, picked up her needle and thread again, bowed her head and continued to sew the rabbit skin, and said:

"I don't know what's wrong with you, but I would like to remind you that the snake girl is the mountain lord in that area and the most powerful monster within a hundred miles. She is not easy to mess with. If you let her give birth If she opens her mouth, she can swallow both of you in one gulp."

Having said that, she deliberately raised her head, staring and puffing her cheeks, making a fierce and scary face.It's just that she looks very beautiful, even if she makes such a strange appearance, she won't look scary, but rather cute.

Ren Sha smiled:

"It's because she's not easy to mess with that I went to find her. Ordinary little monsters, I still don't like them."

This was the first time Ren Sha laughed since he entered the house.This rare smile had an astonishing effect. The hunter on the opposite side accidentally raised her head, almost staring blankly, and her needlework stopped.

Gu Xunzhi watched the hostess's change of expression from the opposite side, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

The hunter seemed to have thought about it several times, and finally seemed to have made up her mind:

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I will accompany you."

"Thank you then." Ren Sha said.

Orioness didn't mention whether she wanted any compensation, neither did Ren Xun and Gu Xunzhi.Gu Xunzhi privately felt that this hunter might have something to do with the snake demon.

After this, neither side spoke again.The hostess bowed her head and finished sewing the rabbit skin, then got up and blew the lamp.

Gu Xunzhi didn't sleep very well that night, the wind and rain outside were very loud, but fortunately, the bear skin wrapped his legs that were afraid of the cold, which made him feel more comfortable, and he could barely fall asleep.The hunter on the opposite side was used to living in this hut, even though there were two outsiders here, she still slept soundly.Only Ren Xun didn't sleep, and sat alone in a corner, keeping watch all night.

The next day, Gu Xunzhi and the hunter woke up very early.The female hunter took out some dried meat, and Gu Xunzhi also took out the dry food from the village.The two put these foods together to make porridge, had a random breakfast, and were ready to go on the road.The Orion looked around:

"You didn't bring your animals here? This old man has poor legs and feet. How did you come so far?"

Ren Xun didn't explain, and turned the piece of paper into a green donkey in front of the Orioness, and asked Gu Xunzhi to ride it.The Orion looked at Ren Sha's spell in surprise, and the luster of desire flashed in her eyes:

"You actually know how to do this! Can you teach me?"

After observing last night, Ren Xun felt that this little demon rarely interacted with people, and maybe he didn't even have many relatives. He was just a little mountain demon who practiced alone.He felt that her temperament was somewhat naive, so he was not very defensive.At this time, when she heard her say that she wanted to learn her own spells, she said:

"It's not that I don't teach you, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it with your way."

The hunter was so angry that her eyes widened, and she raised her chest with her hands on her hips:

"How do you know I can't learn it if you don't teach it! Don't look down on people!"

This female hunter is not tall, but she is quite imposing when she poses this way.Ren Sha couldn't help but laugh:

"In this case, I will pass on the formula to you as a reward for leading us. Don't blame me if you can't learn it."

"It's a word."

The formula of Ren Sha's spell is actually not difficult at all, but the little monsters in the mountains usually seldom have enough mana to learn it.The female hunter had obviously never learned these things before, and listened to Ren Zhen's words with great interest, while reciting them, she also asked Ren Zhen a lot of irrelevant questions:

"Do I need any special paper for this? What if I don't have the right shape?"

Ren Sha was actually impatient, but he still counted on this little demon to lead the way, so he explained everything carefully.When he finished speaking, the hunter had already cut a little donkey, imitating Ren Sha's way of reciting formulas.

The piece of paper in the hunter's hand fell to the ground without moving. Ren Xun didn't believe that she could learn it all at once, but just watched it leisurely.The Orion was a little frustrated, and stomped her feet unhappily.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but at this moment, a puff of smoke rose from the little piece of paper, and a little donkey suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The female hunter responded with anger and laughed happily:

"Hey, I succeeded!"
