Christmas

"Well, as I expected, the big snake is shedding its skin recently, but..."

"But what?"

Looking at the water in the bowl, Xia Yao casually asked.

"Looking at the shape of this snake, it doesn't look like it will shed its skin now."

"how?"

"The golden snake that has become a climate will shed its skin every 100 years, and its body will skyrocket to a size of three feet, and its magic power will be stronger, and this snake is only about two feet in size."

"You mean something made it peel off all of a sudden?"

After listening to Shi Xie's words, Xia Yao immediately understood.

"Oral insult '〇"

"Will that be difficult to deal with?"

Seeing Shi Xie's solemn expression, Xia Yao also became worried, after all, the snake ate so many people.

"How do you know if you don't try."

He patted Xia Yao on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry.

"Uncle, let the strong man who stayed just now prepare some thicker ropes and big nets, and let's go to the forest behind."

"it is good!"

After speaking, Zhu Da took Zhu Chun out together, Xia Yao sat on a chair and looked at Shi Xie.

"Are you really sure?"

"don’t worry.,,

"Oral insult '〇"

Although he agreed with his mouth, Xia Yao always felt strange and a little uneasy in his heart.Seeing Xia Yao's still uneasy expression, Shi Xie bent down and kissed him on top of his hair, soothing his emotions.

After a while, Zhu Da also prepared the things Shi Xie needed, and sent Zhu Chun to call them.

The three of them came to the entrance of the forest together. Zhu Da was waiting there with the five strong men just now. Seeing them coming, Zhu Dacai put down his cigarette stick and stood up.

"Daqing is familiar with the roads in the forest. I am old, so I won't follow, so as not to drag you down. Be careful."

"Well, Dad, you can go back first, we will go."

"Okay, let's go."

Taking a puff of dry smoke, Zhu Daban narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Chun, then at Shi Xie and Xia Yao.

"Uncle, don't worry, we will be fine."

"well."

Watching Shi Xie and his party completely disappear into the forest, Zhu Da sighed, raised his foot to knock off the shredded tobacco on the sole of his shoe, and turned to leave.

The air in the forest is a bit humid, exuding a smell of mud and rotting leaves. Occasionally, a few unknown birds will fly over the branches in the forest, looking for bugs on the trunk with flapping wings.

Stepping on the slippery ground with one deep foot and one shallow foot, Xia Yao wiped the sweat from his head, and some unknown names were also scratched on his trouser legs.

The words are full of thorns.

"very tired?"

"No, it's just that this road is a bit difficult to walk."

Shaking his head at Shi Xie, Xia Yao continued walking, and Zhu Chun in front of him just turned his head at this moment.

"Go further, and we will arrive in a while. It just rained a few days ago, and the road is indeed difficult to walk."

"Well, I'm fine."

Sure enough, after walking for a few more minutes, Xia Yao finally saw the end of the forest, and hurriedly walked towards that direction.

At the end of the forest is a large open space with a pool in the middle. According to Zhu Chun, the lake was formed naturally and has never been dried. There should be a spring under the pool.

The moment he saw the big lake, Shi Xie was probably a little sure that this was where the big snake was staying.He looked around vigilantly, but found no movement.

And Xia Yao was already sweating profusely, and his body was sticky, his eyes glistened when he saw the water in the big lake.

Xia Yao couldn't help it, so he ran to the lake and squatted down, picked up a handful of water and began to wash his face.But just as he picked up the water and poured it on his face, a golden shadow slowly swam towards him from under the water.
