Chapter 134 Weird Village


Chapter 134 Weird Village
To be alone in the deep mountains and old forests, encountering a coiled black-scaled snake is a mind-numbing scene in itself.

Not to mention that the eyes of this big snake are quite strange.

Lu Bai stared at it thoughtfully, and the inexplicable murmurs that sounded in his ears seemed not to be the kind of noise that ordinary animals could make.

Could it be that this time... is a death battle with a demon background?

The pair of vertical pupils of the black-scaled snake still maintained a scrutinizing look.

One person and one snake stared at each other like this for a while, and finally the black-scaled snake took the lead to break the deadlock.

It moved.

Click~click~
The scales rub against the bark of the tree, and the thick snake body meanders on the trunk, pushing the part above the neck groove of the big snake to gradually become suspended in the air.

The big snake's snout opened little by little, spitting out a scarlet and slender snake letter, seemingly trying to determine Lu Bai's background.

After the suspended snake body extended for more than two meters, it began to slowly shrink back.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Instead of relaxing, he increased his vigilance.

Because the upper half of the snake's body is curled up, it is ready to go like a spring, and it is undoubtedly in an attacking posture.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Bai shouted tentatively.

Unexpectedly, whether because he was too lazy to communicate or because he was simply inhumane, after he spoke, the big snake pounced towards him like lightning.

Now that the matter has come to this, Lu Bai cannot just surrender.

Instantly turn off the surrounding light, shrouding the surrounding area in darkness. At the same time, activate [Flash Time] to avoid the bite of the big snake.

Snakes mainly rely on smell and touch to sense prey. It cannot be said that they have no vision, but it is generally not very good.

Of course Lu Bai knew this.

Therefore, he did not intend to completely block the opponent's vision, but to confuse the big snake.

Thanks to the existence of [Flash Time], it is not difficult to do this.

Hiss~
The big snake jumped into the air, and immediately maintained its attacking posture and retracted its trunk, continuously spitting out snake messages to sense the environment.

After determining Lu Bai's position, he shot away again.

However, this pounce failed.

The big black-scaled snake finally froze.

It doesn't quite understand what's going on now. It's certain that it has clearly sensed the location of this human being, but why does it miss it so many times?
There was no evasion process, which surprised the snake.

Is it some kind of nightmare spell?
It turns out that he is capable, no wonder he dares to go into the forest alone.

"Would you like to chat?"

Lu Bai was hidden in the darkness, and his voice sounded a bit smiling.

This sounds obviously confident to the black-scaled snake.

It flicked its tail suddenly and swept towards the place where Lu Bai's voice came from.

The feedback was only a sound of breaking through the air, without attacking anything.

The final sneak attack failed. The black-scaled snake made a decisive decision, sprayed out a dark green poisonous mist, and quickly retreated under the cover of the poisonous mist.

After all, Lu Bai's behavior was too weird, and it was really not sure what his true identity was.

Watching the tail of the black-scaled snake completely disappear into the vegetation, Lu Bai waved his hand to disperse the darkness around him.

He could obviously feel that the big black-scaled snake was intelligent, but it was a pity that the other party didn't want to communicate with him.

He breathed a long sigh of relief: "Is it a snake demon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt dizzy.

Fortunately, this feeling comes and goes even faster.

He wasn't even sure if it was an illusion.

It was already evening when I walked out of the woods.

Lu Bai looked at the smoke rising into the sky in the distance and quickened his pace.

He is still confused about the situation in this world, so he should ask a local first.

After running along the country road for four or five kilometers, we finally arrived at our destination...a small village.

It is not the kind of pastoral scenery you imagined, where the streets are connected and the chickens and dogs hear each other.

On the contrary, it is a bit desolate. This village has about a hundred households, so it is not large in scale.

A half-person-high wooden fence surrounds the dilapidated, low-rise earth-tiled houses, and sparse haystacks are dotted around the houses.

From time to time, you can see a few puddles of water on the gravel road connecting the villages, making it wet and muddy.

The whole place has a strong sense of dilapidation.

The cadres who went to the countryside saw the need to immediately help the poor.

Maybe it was because he rarely saw strangers. Not long after Lu Bai stood at the entrance of the village, several families soon opened their doors and looked at Lu Bai with curiosity and wariness.

Not long after, the men of the family pushed the women and children back home and closed the door behind them.

An old man over fifty years old walked out surrounded by people and shouted righteously: "May I ask what you do for me, young man?"

There is no trace of modernity in these villagers' numb, patchy clothes or their way of speaking.

Considering that he was following the local customs, Lu Bai casually held his hand and said, "I'm passing by your place and I see it's getting late. Can you let me stay the night?"

As soon as these words came out, the villagers started talking in low voices.

Some people even pointed at Lu Bai.

The village elder, who was over fifty years old, coughed twice and asked, "I wonder where the young man came from?"

Lu Bai pointed to the mountains and forests behind.

The scene instantly cooled down.

"Qinggang Forest?"

"I'm afraid there's something wrong."

"Shh..."

Many villagers hid in their houses with frightened faces and closed the doors tightly.

The village elder's first reaction was to hide away, but he had already stood up, so he could only stay in place in embarrassment, smiling unnaturally.

"Then which one do you want to stay?"

Such a big change?
Lu Bai was silent for a moment, and then showed a harmless smile.

"I choose?"

"It should, it should."

The village elder couldn't help but tremble when he saw this smile, and his wrinkled face looked like he was crying.

Zhiqua~
The door of a broken house at the end of the village was pushed open, and a dark-skinned little girl stood up.

She looked at Lu Bai with eyes full of awe and fear, but she took the initiative to invite: "Please...please come and stay at my house."

Lu Bai glanced at her and returned his gaze to the village elder.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, of course, the old man will take his leave first."

The village elder turned around and left as if he had been granted amnesty.

The dark-skinned little village girl opened the fence door and shouted tremblingly: "Come...come on."

Lu Bai immediately walked away.

He estimated that the attitude of these villagers had changed so much that they probably regarded themselves as some kind of inhuman existence.

The house was very shabby.

There was a wooden table for eating, a small wooden stool with a slightly reflective surface, and an extinguished fire pit in the corner.

Going further inside, there is no obstruction, and you can see the layout inside at a glance. Next to the firewood stove is a one-meter-square wooden storage tank, with a gray towel hanging on top of the storage tank.

There is a hint of antiquity in the simplicity.

But none of these attracted Lu Bai's attention. All his eyes were now focused on the base of the wall.

It was a miniature building the size of a shrine.

At a glance, it looks like the entire house has been scaled down.

There is even an internal structure, which is as detailed as a mini figure.

Moreover, right in front of the miniature building, there is a porcelain bowl serving as an incense vessel, which is piled with incense ashes and burned wooden sticks.
