That guy named Tǔ Wá smiled and said: "Hehe! Dogzi Ge, what are you talking about? Why wouldn't I trust you? I met a boss in Guangdong the other day, he told me he likes some rare birds, the rarer they are, the more money he pays for them. That's when I thought of you, Dogzi Ge, let's make some money together, rich brothers!"
The dog didn't want to come along at first, because some time ago someone in the village was caught selling a wild animal and got thrown into jail, and on top of that had to pay a hefty fine. So normally, the dog wouldn't even dare think about coming to catch firebirds.
But this time, he couldn't withstand the soft and hard bubbles of the local tyrant, and finally took out a high price of 50,000 to tempt him. After thinking about it, it's just catching one, anyway, and taking it to Guangdong so far away to sell, the possibility of being discovered is not great, and maybe he can even make a lot of money. For these mountain villagers, 50,000 yuan is an astronomical figure.
No, taking advantage of the twilight, the two of them secretly climbed up the mountain to prepare for catching the firebird. I secretly crawled in the bushes and listened to their conversation, so I also knew about their purpose this time.
"What is this place after all? How can there still be such precious birds here? Weren't they almost extinct? It's strange, they actually appear in this forest. This forest seems to be quite interesting!" After hearing their conversation, I was also puzzled, but I also became curious about the forest.
"Hmm, what is this?" The silhouettes of the two finally appeared in my line of sight, but they were accompanied by an animal that somewhat resembled a dog, but was slightly larger than ordinary dogs.
I thought for a long time, but I just couldn't figure out what breed of dog this was. Judging from its size, it looked like a wolf dog: "I know now, these guys must have caught wolf cubs in the mountains and then went back to raise and train them themselves, so when they grew up, they were much bigger than ordinary wolves and their appearance had also changed."
It's true that the dog had caught this wolf cub when it went hunting in the mountains before, and brought it back to raise as its hunting assistant. The dog called it Xiao Hui, but it really did look grey.
"Little Gray, go ahead and see if there are any big ones!" The dog didn't talk to the earth doll anymore, because they had already walked deep into the forest. Often, some large wild beasts would appear, and if they weren't careful, they might fall here, so he let Little Gray scout ahead first.
Xiao Hui seems to be very obedient, as soon as the master says something, it immediately runs forward. It didn't notice my presence, which isn't strange at all, because I'm still 50 meters away from them. Its vision and perception are far inferior to mine, so I can see them, but they have a hard time discovering me, especially since I'm hiding in the woods.
As I saw them walking towards the forest ahead, I didn't plan to bother with them anymore, but suddenly, that little grey one barked "Woof woof!" twice.
The dog immediately took down the shotgun, loaded it and said: "Tuwawa, be careful, there should be something in front!"
"Could it be a firebird?" Upon hearing Dogzi's words, Tuba didn't show the slightest fear, but instead seemed somewhat excited.
The dog looked ahead and said, "I don't know about this, let's follow up and take a look!"
I heard something and became interested, just about to leave, but I suddenly stopped again, then slowly followed them from behind, wondering what other monsters would appear in this forest.
"It's just a garter snake! I got all excited for nothing!" One look, and it turned out to be a garter snake. The little boy was disappointed.
I took a closer look, and this cobra is about two meters long, slightly shorter than me, and not as thick as my thigh. But for an ordinary snake to grow so big, it should be an adult cobra.
I'm getting more and more interested in this forest, not only did the firebird appear, but also the glasses snake, I have a feeling of coming to the animal world.
The cobra is not as gentle as our silver ring snake, so when it saw the little grey one, it suddenly raised its head, puffed out its neck on both sides, and at this time the spectacle pattern on its back became more obvious, while making a "hissing" sound.
"Little Gray, be careful and kill it for me!" The dog saw that the snake was furious, so he planned to let Little Gray bite it to death. Since Little Gray was trained by him personally, if he was careful enough, he would definitely be able to kill the snake.
In fact, without the master saying it, Xiao Hui also went against it. It circled around the glasses snake for two laps, making a "Woo Woo!" sound in its mouth, as if looking for an opportunity to make a move.
Snakes are very sensitive to external dangers, so when facing Xiaohui, the glasses snake clearly felt a sense of pressure. It knew in its heart that this guy was not easy to deal with.
I don't know why, but when I saw this glasses snake, I felt a sense of familiarity, maybe it's because we're all the same kind, so I decided to go up and help it out.
At this time, I quietly approached them, and when there were still twenty meters away, I suddenly released the breath on my body, and a strong sense of oppression was transmitted instantly.
"Woof! Wooo!"
Perhaps for ordinary people, they can't feel this pressure yet, but for Xiao Hui and that glasses snake, they felt it at the first time.
Especially that little grey one, it was so scared that it immediately retreated and hid under the dog's legs, staring tightly in my direction, although it didn't see me, but it was shaking all over its body.
"What was that?" The two men were also startled, and Dogzi quickly aimed his gun in this direction, ready to fire at any moment.
I immediately darted to their left, then pounced on the dog son, because he had a gun in his hand and was still a threat to me. The twenty-meter distance was just an instant matter for me at that time.
Before that dog reacted, I had already bitten his hand. He was startled and the shotgun fell to the ground. He shouted loudly: "Oh my god!"
After finishing, he pulled his legs and ran away. Xiaohui seemed to be scared silly too, running even faster. It's not that it's timid, but its sense of danger is very strong, so when it feels the pressure on me, it doesn't have any thought of resisting. After all, it's just a ordinary wolf trained after all.
"Dogzi Ge, what was that thing just now? I thought it looked like a snake?" Tua asked while running, because my speed was too fast, so he didn't see clearly, seeing Dogzi run away, so he was also scared and followed to run.
The dog said, "It seems to be a snake, but this snake is too evil, and its speed is simply too fast. Even Xiaohui was scared like that, so let's hurry up and run away! Moreover, it bit me once, I don't know if it's poisonous!"
Actually, when I bit him, I didn't inject any venom, because although they are detestable, they don't deserve to die. If there was really venom, even if it was just ordinary snake venom, running like that would accelerate the circulation of the venom and they would have died already. It's not that they lack common sense, but they were truly frightened.
"Hey... don't come over here!" After they ran away, I turned my head to look at the glasses snake, but the glasses snake seemed to be scared by me too, retreating backwards while saying to me.
I shook my head and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm here to save you!"
It seemed to understand what I was saying, and it didn't retreat any further. It stopped and looked me up and down before saying, "You're the original Spearhead Viper?"
I nodded at the snake head and said: "Yes, I am the original spearhead!"
It seemed a bit puzzled, knowing I wouldn't hurt it, then crawled closer to me, sizing me up and said: "I've seen snakes like you before, but they're all so small, not as beautiful as you, and definitely not as fierce!"
I didn't intend to tell it about myself, I just said: "Maybe it's just a different way of life, right? So, what is this place?"
"Don't you know?" Seeing me ask it, it seemed to have asked a strange counter-question back at me.
"I'm from a very far place and just arrived, so I don't know what this place is yet!" I explained to it.
The snake tilted its head, looked at me again, and even circled around me before saying: "So you're from far away, huh? You're really impressive. I've lived this big and never left this forest. How about this? I'll take you on a tour and then tell you where we are?"
