"Brother Yuebai, you're talking about a ghost?!" Tang Mingxiang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Well, the old man fought with the demons outside the Demon Wall back then, and these ghosts are not only extremely ferocious, but also very cunning, and the most difficult to deal with!" Zhang Xing said with a worried expression.
"General Zhang, you are only half right, the snake demon is indeed extremely ferocious, the atlas records that this monster is similar to our human race, and the birds and beasts mistakenly see us as the snake demon, so they are frightened and panicked, it can be seen that the snake man demon is quite good!" Li Yuebai said with a smile.
"Well, the old man has fought with them, and all of them are infinitely powerful, and they are extremely fast in running and climbing, which is not comparable to my human race. These ghosts come out day and night, in groups of three or five, and what is even more strange is that they usually crawl on four legs, and only when they find prey or fight, they stand upright like us Terrans! Zhang Xing said.
"General, this is nothing unusual, many monsters have this fetish! Ha ha! Liu Senjun interjected.
"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't know, this thing isn't crawling on its side, it's the kind with its chest and abdomen facing the sky! Run like lightning! When you see its disgusting appearance, you'll understand, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh anymore! Zhang Xing shouted.
Everyone was awe-struck when they heard this, and they knew that the demon was not only bloodthirsty and brutal, but his appearance was even more terrifying, and a trace of fear couldn't help but come to their hearts.
"Don't panic too much, with me Li Yuebai here, they will definitely come and go, and no one can stop us from going home! Let's talk about it, which is more powerful than the viciousness of the Chinese wolf soldier and the evil man of the human heart?! Li Yuebai glanced at Zhang Xing meaningfully.
"How can this ...... compare?!" Zhang Xing didn't dare to look directly at Li Yuebai's gaze, turned his face and muttered.
"Could it be that Brother Li is wrong? My Mingxiang was ruined by someone! The poison of the human heart is many times more vicious than this monster! Tang Mingxiang said hatefully.
"Well, what Mingxiang said is true. Although the demons are extremely ferocious, there are a large number, and the chronicles of the kingdoms also talk about the human head spider worm born between the two countries of the snake people and the giant Kun, this demon is very rare, and the book only says that "this demon is terrifying and vicious, and occasionally feeds on the demon of the dragon, and the gods are ghostly, and the body is huge, and the world is rarely known." Li Yuebai frowned after speaking.
"Yuebai, you're making a big fuss, isn't this the giant tarantula in the Giant Kun Kingdom? What's so strange! Liu Senjun was unimpressed.
"The giant tarantula you said is a big worm, which is quite common in the giant Kun country, and its appearance does not match the description of the human-headed spider in the book, so I dare to say that it is definitely not a giant tarantula! It's a pity that there are only a few sentences in the book, and there are no illustrations, only that no living person has seen this demon in person, and we have little chance of encountering this demon through the country of the snake people this time, but it's better to be on guard early! Li Yuebai reminded everyone.
"Hey! Yuebai said that last time, the old man was too careless and failed to listen to Yuebai's suggestion, and as a result, he was killed by Mingxiang's chieftain army! Ay! Shame on you! Zhang Xing sighed.
"General Zhang, don't blame yourself too much, I can't wait for each to be his master, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you and I have no selfish grudges. Mingxiang only pleaded with you for one thing, and after returning to Jingshi, I hope you don't hide the truth and tell the truth to the court. The defeat of the army has nothing to do with Brother Yuebai, you must not wronged him, otherwise I Mingxiang will never give up, I will definitely make you look good! Besides, if there is no moon and white persuasion this time, I am afraid that your head will no longer be on your shoulders! Tang Mingxiang glared at Zhang Xing and scolded.
"Hmmm! Well! What the girl said is very true, the old decay will return to Beijing to tell the truth to His Majesty, the defeat of the army, the crime is in his own body, and it has nothing to do with Yuebai, and the old decay is determined to protect Yuebai's innocence! Zhang Xing hurriedly jumped down, and Tao Yu leaned over to apologize.
"Hmph, you still look like a battle-hardened general, responsible, bearing, like a gentleman." Tang Mingxiang said.
"Hey, let it pass what happened in the past, and mention what it does. Besides, I, Li Yuebai, have no strength to admonish to the end, how can the lower officials have nothing to do with it? If you talk about the sin of the defeated army, you also have a share in it. Master Zhang got up quickly. Li Yuebai followed Tao Yu and helped Zhang Xing to comfort him, and the eight generals under Zhang Xing all nodded and sighed when they heard it, secretly admiring Li Yuebai's righteousness and responsibility.
"Well, I forgot to remind everyone, there are plants in the country of the snakemen are also very vicious, not so much that they are strange trees, but rather that they are can't walk man-eating demons, although they are not as good as the snakemen and demons, but they should not be careless, otherwise they will lose their lives if they are not careful!" Li Yuebai reminded everyone again.
"Could it be that Your Excellency is talking about the 'delicate-faced demon banyan'?!" A man surnamed Chen joined the army and suddenly spoke.
"Exactly, this demon strain was born at the foot of Dacang Mountain in the country of the Snakeman, on the bank of the Spirit River, it is the only way for us to wait for this trip, and after crossing the Great Cangshan Mountain, it is the Xiaocang Mountain, which is where the Devil often haunts." Li Yuebai said.
"Brother Li, where are we now?" Tang Mingxiang asked.
"I have compared the atlas map below, we call it 'Jiqiu Ridge' here, and I am afraid that we will not be able to reach Dacang Mountain until sunset! It's not early, let's hurry up! Li Yuebai urged.
Everyone followed Li Yuebai's suggestion, and after a short rest, they drove Tao Yuwang in the direction of Dacang Mountain in the southeast to continue the journey.
The Taoyu beasts rushed quickly, and the originally vaguely distant Dacang Mountain gradually came to front of them, and the plants and beasts that appeared became more and more strange and indescribable, all of which were unseen in everyone's lives. Li Yuebai said secretly: "It seems that the various weirdness recorded in the book about the Snake Country is only one-twelfth compared to what you see in front of you, and the strange and vicious places will definitely be unexpected, and you must be careful everywhere, and you must not be careless!" ”
The nine of them walked for a while, and a sea of red appeared in front of them, countless red vines drooping from the tops of the tall trees, and the crimson vines were winding and hanging low, covering the sky and the sun, layer upon layer. Everyone approached cautiously, and found that the skin of these vine branches was smooth and transparent, and blood-colored juice and white veins could be seen inside. The vine branch is as thick as an arm, dozens of zhang long, there are many curved branches, the branches are more than zhang long, and there are wheel-shaped green leaves at the joints of the branches, and the leaves are very tough and sharp. From a distance, the vine branches look like they are made of many red arms strung together. The vines were densely covered in a forest, and they stood in front of everyone, blocking the way.
"Brother Li, could these vines be the 'delicate-faced demon banyan' that eats people?" Tang Mingxiang couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw these weird vines.
"It shouldn't be, there is a description of the ogre banyan in the "Strange Map of the Strange Chronicles of the Country" about the cannibal banyan in the country of the stingers, only saying that the branches and leaves of the figlet are very beautiful, so beautiful that people forget to linger, and even some are suffocating, and even the birds and beasts passing by it forget that they are in danger. You see, these vines make people feel weird, but they are not pretty! Everyone has gone all the way, there are many strange things in the country, the book records are only 12 out of 10, these vines look strange, unpredictable, everyone should not rush forward, in the next and try it first! Li Yuebai raised her head and stared at the vine road that fell to the ground and danced with the mountain wind from time to time.
