Chapter 369: The Battle of Snakes and Beasts in the Forest
When the army of beasts first stepped into the territory of the Snake King, they were still somewhat hesitant, but when they saw the incomparably quiet woods in the middle of the night, they slowly relaxed.
At the forefront was the Tiger King, followed by the monkey demon and the fox demon, and the army of beasts behind was also led by the tiger, lion and leopard, and slowly let go.
When they came to the river, they couldn't help but get nervous, because after crossing the river, they would not be far from the snake king's cave.
However, there was still silence everywhere, and this silent tranquility always gave people an inexplicable sense of depression, and the Tiger King, who was walking in front, couldn't help but complain:
"Walking secretly like this, I feel really aggrieved, it's better to let go of my pace, go faster, get the thousand-year-old ginseng as soon as possible, and leave early."
The black-faced old monkey demon comforted:
"Don't worry, we're not far away, Tiger King, wait a while, you must not fall in love, we will leave as soon as we get the things, lest the Snake King come back early, it will be difficult for us to escape!"
The Tiger King reluctantly said:
"I'm in charge of the fight, which of the two of you is going to get the ginseng?"
The fox demon said softly:
"Uncle Ape has the most experience here, and there are a lot of things to pay attention to when picking ginseng, and we don't know much about it."
The old monkey demon shook his head and said directly:
"There must be a powerful python guarding there, my old arms and legs, where can I withstand the toss, otherwise, the three of us go over there together, if we encounter a powerful python guarding, the three of us join forces, wouldn't it be faster?"
In this way, the Tiger King didn't do it, and he said confidently:
"If there is resistance here, there must be someone who takes the lead in the battle, otherwise the dragons have no leader, won't it become a plate of loose sand, or if you two join forces to steal ginseng, I will lead everyone to have a good time with them, okay?"
The old monkey demon thought for a moment, nodded in agreement:
"That's okay, then you are responsible for dragging the snakes that come out here, and we will be responsible for picking ginseng, and when we get it, we will come and call you, and then retreat as soon as possible, don't wait until the snake king comes back, then none of us can leave."
While talking, they continued to walk inside, and in the moonlight, they suddenly saw a black press in front of them, all of which were pythons waiting in array, and the leader was actually a little girl in a big red dress, and there was a golden python that they were all familiar with.
This scene was very surprising to them, wasn't this a sneak attack? Why is the other party already looking like he's ready for battle?
The fox demon suddenly raised his hand and signaled the team behind him to stop first, and then they carefully observed the other team, and after watching for a long time, they didn't see the snake king, and then continued to lead their team to continue to walk forward.
Now that it has been exposed, the army of beasts no longer needs to sneak forward, but walks over generously.
When he got closer, he saw the situation on the other side, and the fox demon couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell, looking at Mu Qianmei and saying contemptuously in a teasing tone:
"Yo, where did this bride come from, she looks so handsome, this snake king is really, when you get married, you don't notify us, you didn't bring any gifts when we came, little sister, what's your name?" Look at you, you should be a normal human being, why did you marry a big python? ”
Mu Qianmei was not angry, and actually explained seriously:
"It's not my clothes, I borrowed them temporarily from the Serpent King
A dress is just worn temporarily, I am just a temporary guest here, I got lost in the forest, the snake king was kind, and I was taken in, we also just received a notice from the small snake nearby, saying that a large number of distinguished guests are visiting, and the snake king is not here for the time being because of something to go out, so we will replace the snake king, lined up to come to greet the guests. ”
The tone is neither arrogant nor humble, and he seems very calm, as if a warm host has come to greet the guests.
This was a surprise to the fox demon, did she really not understand or pretended to be confused? It's just a little girl, who is normally ridiculed and ridiculed, doesn't she get angry and get angry, and then run over to fight with her sword raised? She was even able to patiently explain, and then said that she was here to greet the guests!
The fox demon continued to smile and said:
"Huh...... I didn't expect the little sister to be so reasonable, in fact, there is nothing serious, that is, a few days ago we told the snake king that we wanted to borrow him something to go back to use, and he asked us to come over tonight to pick it up, so we came, since the little sister is so sensible, presumably the snake king has already explained it to you! It's the ginseng plant on the top of your mountain, we borrowed it for urgent use, and we will return it in a few days, can my little sister take us over to get it? ”
Mu Qianmei also said seriously:
"Oh, that's what happened! The Snake King did explain to me, saying that if you come to pick it up tonight, I will take you up the mountain to get it, but since it is a forbidden area in the Snake King's territory, I can only lead the three of you to the leader, and the rest of the animal friends will stay here and wait, will you go now? I'll take you there. ”
Mu Qianmei's words surprised them very much, and the Tiger King said honestly:
"The Snake King is so righteous? Okay, okay, you can take us there! ”
At this time, the scheming old monkey king spoke:
"Since it is the forbidden area of the Snake King, then it is inconvenient for us to go there, how can we break the rules of the Snake King? Otherwise, since he has explained it to you, then you should go and pick it up and hand it over to us, what do you think? ”
Mu Qianmei shook her head and said:
"The snake king said, the ginseng is relatively old, and the ginseng picking is also very disciplined, how can ordinary people pick it, only those with deep skills like the three can be picked, so I must lead the three to it, let you pick it yourself, it is possible to succeed!"
The Tiger King said impatiently:
"In that case, why are you talking so much? Let's go, and you will lead us there. ”
The fox demon immediately stopped:
"Don't worry, don't worry, since you have already said it, you will let the snakes behind you all retreat into the snake hole, lest when we are not there, what if they clash with these friends behind us and fight?"
While a few people were talking, Jade had already hurried back, and it quietly came behind Mu Qianmei from the team, and lay at the front of the team with Bing Lan.
At this time, the old monkey demon beside the fox demon whispered to the fox demon:
"It's not good, she's delaying the army, you see, the jade has already arrived from the waterfall, and if you wait, maybe the snake king will be notified back by them."
Mu Qianmei didn't seem to hear it, and still said to the fox demon slowly:
"You have a point, we're not here, it's really not good for them to fight later, or that's it, you let these animal friends behind you retreat to the border of the snake king's territory and wait, and I will also let our snake brothers and sisters go back to the snake cave, like this, me."
You can pick ginseng with peace of mind, what do you think? ”
The fox demon couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Haha...... You little girl, how old are you, you are so shrewd, I have lived for more than a thousand years in vain, and I was almost deceived by you! Are you trying to stall and wait for the Serpent King to come back, have you already gone to inform you? Okay, we don't need you to lead the way, we all know this road, let's go and pick it ourselves! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Mu Qianmei to reply, she ordered loudly:
"Let's go, let's rush over!"
So, the three of them took the brunt of the first flight and jumped over, the fox demon and the old monkey demon planned to directly cross the snake group and run to the top of the mountain to collect ginseng, while the tiger king was ready to fight them and drag the snake group back.
At this time, without Mu Qianmei speaking, the golden python ordered the snake group to fight.
The fox demon and the old monkey king's desire to directly cross the snake group, of course, is impossible to achieve, the golden python and the ice blue have already got up to meet them, stopped them, the golden python meets the fox demon, the ice blue meets the old monkey king, at this time, the jade who has just arrived also met the tiger king, one-on-one battle.
With a strong forward momentum, the beasts rushed towards the snake group with a murderous spirit, and the snake group was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately fought together.
Mu Qianmei didn't know their combat strength, so she didn't dare to rush into the battle, so she jumped up and stood on a tree for the time being, taking a look at the overall battle situation first.
The combat effectiveness of the two sides is uneven at a glance, the tigers, lions and leopards that rush in front of the beasts are relatively strong in combat, so they are facing them here are the eight leaders of the snake group and the big python whose strength is relatively close to them, the combat power of the two sides is comparable, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time.
The other animals in the beasts, whose combat effectiveness is relatively low, are met by ordinary snakes.
The battle on this side had just started, and on the hills on both sides of the rear, the ambushed snakes also rushed out quickly, attacking from the rear, and caught the rear of the Hundred Beast Army by surprise.
The rear of the Hundred Beast Army, are some of the most weak animals, they came, one is strong, the other is also an opportunity to watch and exercise, now they are attacked, there are four strong combat effectiveness of the python to lead, the speed of casualties can be imagined.
Mu Qianmei watched on the tree for a while, and had a rough estimate of the combat effectiveness of both sides in her heart, the other party originally only planned to sneak attack, and the focus was on stealing ginseng, and she did not plan to fight head-on with the snake group, so the preparation was not so sufficient, from the fact that they arrived outside the territory of the snake king, the three leaders still disagreed, it can be seen that they were temporary, so the team called for was uneven, like a plate of loose sand, and did not form a unified sense of battle.
On the contrary to them, the division of labor on the side of the snake group is more clear, soldier to soldier and general, the formation is still relatively neat, and even there is an ambush, so it naturally has the upper hand.
Especially after the ambushed snakes joined the battle, the team of the Hundred Beast Army suddenly became a mess, and the number of casualties increased rapidly, which also greatly reduced the pressure on the snakes in front, because some beasts wanted to return to meet the battle in order to rescue the same kind behind, but the beasts in the middle blocked them, so that they could not retreat.
On the contrary, when they turned around, their backs were facing the snakes, so they naturally became the best targets for attack, and for a while, the front and back parts of the Hundred Beast Army were chaotic, and soon the entire team was out of rank.
The army of beasts that are chaotic into a pot of porridge seems to have become the fish and meat of the python group on the chopping board mountain, allowing them to keep harvesting life one by one.
