Chapter 10 Old Man

  I dodged immediately, and the two of them pounced on nothing. I flashed into the bedroom, just as the two men behind me, who were holding stun guns, saw that the net hadn't caught me, so they fired two shots at me.

  I rushed into the bedroom, a stun grenade exploded behind me. I didn't hesitate and immediately ran to the window, climbing down because they were police officers, so it was impossible for them to harm my parents, so I wasn't worried about them at all.

  Those police saw me escape from the window and then ran down the stairs, chasing after me. When I just slid to the bottom, they scared me a jump.

  At this time, there were also two people holding anesthesia guns downstairs, waiting for me. It seemed that they had been prepared early. When the two saw me coming down, they immediately opened fire at me.

  Fortunately, I was fast enough and the target wasn't big, so their anesthetic bullets didn't hit me. After narrowly avoiding them, I started running at full speed.

  At this time, my goal is the last sewer, because it's a bit closer now, and my speed is also faster than before. If I run at full speed, I should be able to get there in just a few minutes, as long as I can hide inside, I'll be safe.

  Those police saw me running and immediately boarded two police cars in batches, quickly chasing after me. Because it was daytime, they could see relatively clearly, so at this time their stun grenades were fired at me like they didn't cost money.

  Such a scene also attracted passersby pointing and whispering to each other, implying that the police were making such a big fuss just to catch a snake.

  I'm also speechless with anger. When you catch bad guys, why don't you work so hard? Instead, you bully me, a single snake? It seems that snakes are indeed good at being bullied. You just wait for me, when I become powerful, I will definitely take revenge on you.

  I finally ran to the side of that sewer, I was overjoyed, but a moment later, I was suddenly hit by an anesthetic bullet and I got a fright.

  He jumped down immediately, and the anesthetic effect seemed to have taken hold. I felt my body gradually losing strength, and my head was a bit dizzy, but I still gritted my teeth and crawled forward. What if they also came in? Wouldn't that be terrible for me?

  However, my worries were unnecessary because the diameter of this manhole was less than thirty centimeters, which could not accommodate a person coming down. In fact, I myself am not even sure if it is really a sewer.

  Because I've never seen a sewer without water, and this one is quite strange, it doesn't look like it was dug out by humans at all. The entrance is also very small, and there's no manhole cover, but I didn't care about that at the time. As long as I could hide in it, that was good enough for me.

  Finally, I couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a daze, I don't know how long it took, but I gradually woke up. Although I didn't know what time it was now, as a snake's instinct, I could feel that the outside sky had already darkened.

  At this time, I didn't dare to go up yet, I was afraid that those people hadn't left, so I simply crawled into the cave. When I climbed to the edge of the stone platform last time, my heart was excited.

  Because the glowing mushroom from last time emitted a faint glow again, although not as strong as before, I understood something - this mushroom, although drained by me, can slowly recover on its own. It's only been two days and it's already emitting light again.

  I didn't think much, and suddenly climbed up, then lay down beside to enjoy, I gradually fell asleep again, because this feeling is too comfortable, even though I just slept, but now still can't help but sleep again.

  Until I woke up, it was no surprise to find that the mushroom had withered again. However, I wasn't worried at all because it would definitely recover and I could come back to suck on it next time.

  At this time I checked my body, not only were the injuries on my body all healed, but my scales had also become much thicker and harder, and my meridians had also become stronger. Other functions had also been enhanced.

  It seems this mushroom has brought me too many benefits, and this discovery is absolutely a surprise...

  I had originally wanted to stay inside for a while longer, but I was afraid that my parents would worry about me. After all, they must have thought of me as the spiritual anchor I used to be after our encounter. So I didn't linger any further and slowly crawled towards the entrance, first hiding at the bottom to listen for a while.

  Since there was no movement above, I climbed up and found that the few police officers had indeed left. There wasn't a single person upstairs. By now, the east had already turned white like a fish's belly, indicating that I had been hiding downstairs for almost a whole day.

  I rushed home immediately, but when I passed by the park, I suddenly saw a strange scene, an old man was practicing boxing.

  As I saw this, I suddenly became interested, because when I was a child, I also liked these things, but at that time no one taught me, and I didn't learn them well. So now I decided to stop and take a look, but just as I had climbed to within about ten meters of the old man.

  A chill suddenly rose up all over my body, and before I could figure out what was going on, the old man appeared eerily in front of me. I let out a startled yelp and hastily retreated backward.

  However, when the old man saw me clearly, he was stunned and muttered to himself: "Huh? It's a snake! Why did I feel that something was wrong with this snake just now? Was I thinking too much?"

  The old man sized me up for a while, but didn't seem to find anything out of place. He shook his head to himself and turned back around. I also let out a sigh of relief. The old man was really too strange just now. I clearly saw him still being over ten meters away from me, so how did he suddenly appear in front of me? Moreover, in that instant just now, I felt a dangerous aura emanating from his body.

  As I saw him walking away, I let out a sigh of relief. At this time, the old man turned back and started making some moves, which looked like an elderly person practicing Tai Chi, but also not quite like it. Anyway, I didn't understand what he was doing.

  After a long time, the old man seemed to have finished this set of boxing techniques. He took a deep breath and then switched to another type of boxing technique. This move I understood, it was the snake fist that I had seen on TV before. Although it wasn't performed exactly like on TV, from the posture, it was very obvious that his hands were as agile as a snake's body.

  I was so absorbed in watching that the old man suddenly muttered to himself: "The snake fist is soft yet firm, and yet firm with a hint of softness... one change, ten thousand changes..."

  In fact, even I, an outsider, know a bit about this. From my previous understanding, every style of boxing has its origins. Take the snake fist for example, it evolved from the way snakes hunt or attack, and its essence lies in soft work, whole body like cotton, lively and smooth, extremely agile!

  Of course, theory is just theory, but in reality, I'm still clueless. I watched from the side with wide eyes, and the old man's snake fist was incredibly agile, as if his whole body had no bones. Maybe this is what they mean by 'lively and smooth power'.

  As I watched the old man's every move, I don't know why, but these moves felt so familiar, even coming from deep within my soul. Yet this old man was awakening them one by one.

  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

  Unconsciously, I slowly followed the old man's moves and started moving along with him. Although his movements were very different from mine, I somehow felt that every move, every attack of mine seemed so familiar!

  The old man suddenly saw me beside him and stopped immediately: "Huh? This snake is quite interesting! Since it can keep up with my movements, what a spirited fellow!"

  I was startled in my heart, just now I was too deeply involved and completely forgot about my situation. At this time, the old man spoke up, scaring me to a jump, and I also stopped, staring blankly at him.

  The old man smiled slightly, then stopped looking at me and continued to practice his snake fist, not finishing until over ten minutes later. In fact, the snake fist doesn't have that many moves, he just intentionally slowed down, which is why it took so long.

  I don't know what's going on in this old man's mind, but I feel that he's a bit strange, maybe it's because he's tired, he rested for a while, shook his head and started practicing this set of fist techniques again.

  Is this old man seeing that I have an audience on the side watching with rapt attention, so he's even more energetic? In fact, how would I know, this old man intentionally wants to show off in front of me, with his experience, the world is full of wonders.
