Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 160 Two: Snake Road

Before the four came to the fork in the road, they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

It is impossible for two roads to both lead to the exit.

up or down?

While hesitating, Shen Ye took out the five-color stone.You must know that this road is guided by it, whether it is the tomb of the snake man or the sea of ​​sand right now, if it weren't for the five-color stone pointing to a certain direction, Shen Ye and the others would not have come here.

Shen Ye tried to sense the direction the five-color stone was pointing to, but the five-color stone, which had always been effective, failed this time.No matter whether it is going up or down, the five-color stone feels faintly hot to the touch, as if there are things attracting it on both sides.

Seeing that Shen Ye frowned and said nothing, Xie Yi said, "Can't find out?"

Shen Ye nodded.

Xia Yi stood on the left side with Le Wuyi, and frowned upon hearing this.

"Why don't you choose a path randomly?" Xia Yi suggested, "If it's a dead end, it's okay to walk back."

Le Wuyi nodded.

Xie Yi sighed: "I'm afraid, I can only choose one of the two roads."

"Why?" Xia Yi was puzzled.Is it possible that once this fork is walked up, the other road will disappear?

Shen Ye actually agreed with Xie Yi's point of view, he stepped aside: "You will understand after reading."

Looking at this posture, it made Le Wuyi and Xia Yi look at the stairs.The two of them were a little strange. Are there special symbols marked on the forked roads going up and down?

When the two reached the middle of the two forked roads, they both showed expressions of sudden realization, and then it turned into a headache.

Why?

It's just because the scenery beside the two forked roads can't be seen far away from the forked road, but when we come to this dividing line, the scenery on both sides changes.

On the stairs going down, there is a long stretch of yellow sand on the left, stretching as far as the eye can see, it still looks like the sea of ​​sand when the four of them came.But the right side of the stairs going up was actually dark green, it was clear that the four people entered the forest in front of the mausoleum.I saw countless towering ancient trees rising into the sky, and the stretched branches and leaves were as thick as waves, disturbing the prosperity one after another.Most importantly, there are living creatures swimming in it.

Take a step back, and the forest turns back into a desert, and take a step forward, and it becomes a rich green again.What about the left side?Because it is a desert where not a blade of grass grows, there is no difference for a while.

"Meow meow..." Le Wuyi looked at the forest on the right, and couldn't help being speechless, "So there are so many..."

As seen before, in the extremely lush forest, there are not all kinds of animals shuttling through it, only huge boa constrictors.Some of them swim among the bushes, and everything kneels down wherever they go, and some simply perch on tree trunks, tightly entangled in circles, black and white, like extremely thick vines— —Unfortunately, the pattern is too scary.

"This is..." Xia Yi couldn't tell for a while, he looked at Shen Ye, "What does Senior Shen think?"

Completely different scenery, but only a thin line separates them.I am afraid that the two roads connected are indeed different spaces.Once you step on it, perhaps as Xie Yi said, you can only go straight to the end.

Xu said last time that the space of Ghost Mountain was so intricate that it was difficult to find out what happened.Now such a thing that goes against common sense, the four of them are no strangers to it.It's just that the forest alone cannot determine whether the stairs above are connected to the space when they came.

Shen Ye also had a headache and didn't give any hints. If he said he should choose the way up, how would he know that they didn't come out of the mausoleum, and all the hard work since then was in vain?Not to mention that this road is not necessarily connected to the space when we came, it may be just a blindfold.But choose the road below. There is a long stretch of yellow sand, which has not changed. How do you know that it is not leading to the original sand sea and returning to the original point?

Shen Ye was depressed for a while, Xie Yi couldn't see him being troubled, looked at Le Wuyi who was still amazed, and felt blessed for some reason: "Wuyi, what do you think?"

Le Wuyi was suddenly named, and he was taken aback and said, "Huh?"

Xie Yi smiled and said, "If it were you, which way would you go?"

Le Wuyi blinked, and was about to say that he didn't know, but Shen Ye and Xia Yi also turned their gazes over, with a look of sudden realization.

Le Wuyi was tongue-tied: "Uh... what are you guys?"

Shen Ye naturally thought of his disciple Sun Yixiang's luck and intuition: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Even Xia Yi asked in agreement, "No difference, which one do you want to take?"

Le Wuyi was stared at by three people, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Meow meow, is it up to me to decide?Do you want to believe me so much... Le Wuyi swallowed her saliva, watching the two forked roads wavering.

up or down?

up and down?Previous?

While wandering his eyes and pondering hard, Le Wuyi swept his eyes, and suddenly pointed to the forest on the right side: "Isn't that Huang Jue Huang Boss and the others?"

Shen Ye and the others took a step forward when they heard the words, followed the direction Le Wuyi pointed, and they saw Huang Jue and his party—more correctly, they saw a pair of living people in the forest.Because the distance was too far, it was impossible to see the appearance of those people clearly, but judging by the companions who went to the ground together, it could only be the missing Huang family.

Of course, if there is a third team, that's another matter.

Right now, those people should be holding branches to cover themselves, trying to hide their whole figures in the bushes.But in the forest full of boa constrictors, at first glance, the four people squatting carefully on the giant log are pitifully small and weak.

"They have been discovered." Xie Yi affirmed.On an ancient tree not far from those people, a boa constrictor was silently approaching them.

Xie Yi looked at Shen Ye who was frowning and said nothing, and couldn't help but feel the injury on his foot - judging from the current situation, if he encounters an enemy, he can at most protect himself, and it is difficult to spare the energy to help others.

In the case of being dragged down, to save or not to save?

With so many pythons, his own existence will definitely make the four of them the target of public criticism.

But if it doesn't help...

Shen Ye seemed to have sensed something, turned his head, and saw Xie Yi with a face full of self-blame.Shen Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and said helplessly, "What are you thinking, even if we go there now, it's too late."

After finishing speaking, there was indeed a gunshot from below, followed by another burst of gunshots after a short while.The four of Shen Ye looked again, and saw that the people below had jumped off the branches, protecting one of them and running away.Maybe it was too much noise, many boa constrictors got the news and chased them in the direction where the four escaped.

Le Wuyi instinctively took a step forward, and immediately looked at Shen Ye after waking up, and Xia Yi did the same.If you continue to hesitate, when the four of them arrive at the scene, you will definitely not be able to find Huang Jue and the others.

Seeing this, Xie Yi quickly said: "They have more information than us, so it's better to give it a try than to give up the opportunity in front of us."

That's true, Huang Jue and his party obviously came prepared, and the news is relatively comprehensive.Since they are heading for the forest, there is always a reason for them.

"Senior Xie said yes." Xia Yi echoed, "Senior Shen carefully protects Senior Xie. Huang Jue and the others, just leave it to me and Wuyi."

Le Wuyi nodded repeatedly.With Grand Master protecting Master, what else is he worried about?

Xie Yi hesitated to speak, there are many pythons below and the environment is dangerous, the four of them also need to be vigilant.

Shen Ye finally nodded: "Let's go down immediately."

The platform was several hundred meters away from the sea of ​​trees. Now that the four of them had made up their mind, they immediately put it into action.Le Wuyi was the first to bear the brunt of it and was about to step up the stairs on the right, but the next moment, his whole body was shaken, and he retreated suddenly: "There is a snake!"

If it was an ordinary snake, Le Wuyi would not make such a fuss, but unfortunately, the snake in front of him was not even comparable to the giant python below.

I saw several snake heads suddenly appeared on the originally smooth stairs.One after another, they sprung up one after another like mushrooms after a rain.Those snakes are small and delicate, and there are a lot of them. They look like water snakes breaking through the water, protruding slowly from the inside of the stairs, hissing.

Each step looked like a rash on the face of a person, and it spread quickly, and the entire step was covered with dense snake heads.

Not to mention Le Wuyi, even Shen Ye was surprised.So many thin snakes sticking their heads out, where did they come from?If they are part of the ladder itself, are there snakes in the ladder?Is this a snake ladder?

This thought flashed by, and the four of them were shocked.If this is the case, did they think that they lived in peace all the way, but they were actually in danger?If all the snakes crawled out from the inside of the ladder, how could they stand here?

The first little silvery white snake was different from its companions, they could only poke their heads out, but it had crawled out unsteadily and in its entirety.

Le Wuyi was dragged back by Xia Yi, trying not to disturb the unknown animal.

The little snake spit out snake letters, and didn't curl up to attack. With a flick of its tail, it actually swam down from the stairs.

The four of Shen Ye retreated cautiously, but the little snake regarded the four of them as nothing, slowly swam to the platform, and then leisurely climbed up the stairs on the left.

Just after going up two steps, the little snake stopped moving again.It turned its head to look at Shen Ye and the others, its tail kept beating the stairs.

That posture is so agile that it doesn't look like a snake, but like a human.

Le Wuyi swallowed her saliva: "Is this...the meaning of asking us to keep up?"

Xia Yi nodded: "It seems so." He turned his gaze to the stone steps on the right, and saw that the original solid-colored textures had become densely packed snake heads, which were tightly packed without gaps.The heads of these snakes were all facing upwards, and they didn't intend to look at the four of them. It was just that the snake's mouth kept opening and closing, and the snake letters rose one after another. It was believed that once people stepped on it, they would be bitten into carrion in an instant.

A stone road has completely become a snake road.

threaten?Or a warning?

The little snake on the left still tapped on the stairs with its tail, making a "popping" sound with an even frequency and no irritability.

What about Huang Jue and his party on the right?Xie Yi looked up, but he couldn't find any trace.

Shen Ye suddenly laughed, Xie Yi turned to look: "A Ye?"

Shen Ye's expression was cold: "Since it's clear, of course we'll follow." He glanced at the snake and said, "Since we're not allowed to rescue it, why should we take risks."

As soon as Le Wuyi threw a piece of cloth onto the snake path, he saw those snake heads protruding and biting frantically like chickens pecking at rice.In an instant, the debris flew away, and the piece of cloth was bitten off in just a moment.Seeing this, Le Wuyi twitched the corners of his mouth and moved further away from the stone steps.

Seeing that the four of Shen Ye turned their eyes to the left, the little snake seemed to have sensed it, and turned back to climb up again.With a body of less than one foot, it is very dexterous, but it can climb a long distance in a short time.

Shen Ye's face was cold, and he stepped up.Xia Yi and Le Wuyi looked at each other, and then followed.

The moment I stepped on the stairs, the surrounding scenery really changed.In an instant, the fork in the road was no longer there, the snake road was no longer there, and the forest disappeared without a trace—as if the platform just now was just an illusion.

Sure enough... Seeing this scene, the four of them kept silent and went up silently.

Xie Yi leaned on Shen Ye's back, not knowing how he felt.He looked up, and the only ladder leading to the sky seemed to be far away.If you look down, you will see a vast sea of ​​sand with no end in sight.Thinking that he was a burden all the way, Xie Yi couldn't help but sigh.He just glanced casually, and he quickly signaled to Shen Ye: "A Ye, look there!"
