This old man was the one who had been in the luxury suite with that girl at the beast fighting arena, and now the girl was also by his side, watching her grandfather get angry.
A little girl walked over and said: "Grandpa, I just heard the bodyguards say that the Liu family sent troops to kill the giant snake. Why are they so bad?"
Seeing his granddaughter, the old man finally put out the fire and said softly: "Rou Rou, don't ask about these things anymore, okay? There are some things you can't understand!"
The girl pouted and said, "Grandpa, you're treating me like a kid again. How would I know if you didn't tell me? I don't care, but you have to protect that big flower snake. When I first saw its eyes, I felt so sorry for it. It seemed like it could talk!"
The old man was taken aback, then laughed and said: "Hehe, you little girl, if snakes could talk, they wouldn't be fierce beasts, but monsters. Alright, Grandpa has important things to discuss, hurry up and go down!"
Seeing that her grandfather not only didn't believe her, but also ridiculed her, the girl glared at him, but still listened and left on her own. At this time, the old man put on the same intimidating aura as before, saying to someone beside him: "Guohua, you go investigate this matter for me thoroughly. This time I will make the Liu family see that us old folks still have a say in things!"
The man's eyes also took a glance, he clearly felt that the old man was furious this time, although he couldn't understand why, but still respectfully responded with a sentence. This person is also clever and knows what to ask and what not to ask. After receiving the order, he retreated.
In the mountain stream, we several animals that look very out of place are chasing after a grown wild boar. Probably this wild boar unintentionally ran here to forage for food and was discovered by the giant ape.
At this time, we were called to come together to catch it. Everyone didn't know if it was a tacit understanding, but they didn't immediately bite the wild boar to death. Instead, they kept chasing and playing with it. The wild boar was indeed very fierce, but for us, it was just a plaything.
Until we finally killed it, the giant ape and I had the largest appetite, almost swallowing all the wild boars, only then were we satisfied to lie down and digest the food.
At this time, the sunshine was shining on my body, it felt very comfortable. I suddenly told them that I wanted to leave, and upon hearing this, several of them were completely caught off guard, not understanding what I meant.
I explained to them for a long time, meaning that I still have many things to do. Actually, I was mainly worried about the white-bellied fish and didn't know how it was doing. Secondly, I also wanted to go home and take a look.
After understanding my intention, the giant ape made a big show of its actions. It bit down on my body with one mouthful, while the firebird was very playful. The two of them, one used its claws to grab my head and the other used its claws to grab my tail, as if they were afraid I would suddenly run away.
To be honest, seeing them so reluctant to part, I was really touched. If it were humans, they would have cried, but since all good things must come to an end, I couldn't stay in the deep mountains like them forever.
Even if I don't go back to find Baimao Fu, or go back to see my parents and Xiao Bai, I'm clear in my heart that the Liu family has suffered a great loss this time. They definitely won't let me off because I've already reached a point of no return with them. In fact, there's an even greater unknown danger, it's just that I don't know about it yet.
I told them these things, they said don't be afraid, if I really want to leave, then they will follow me. I told them that outside is much more dangerous than in the forest, and their goals are too big, also precious animals, if they go out, they absolutely can't escape the ferocity and greed of humans.
After repeated dissuasion, they finally agreed to let me go, promising that after I finished my own business, I would come back to this forest and spend the rest of my days with them. Upon hearing this, the three guys finally released me, repeatedly asking for my guarantee.
I couldn't help but laugh and cry, even animals have played this set. After I guaranteed it multiple times, they let me go. The cobra said: "Ji Chen, this time out, I'll be following you!"
As for the snake following me, I didn't say anything, after all it's like me, not a big target, easy to hide, secondly I need its guidance when I walk out of this forest, and thirdly we can communicate with each other, exchange is also very convenient.
So I replied, "Alright, even if you don't say anything, I'll still take you with me. If you follow me, you're my snake from now on. Wherever Big Boss goes, you'll follow, and it won't be boring for me to be alone!"
Upon hearing this, the glasses snake was overjoyed and circled around me excitedly. The giant ape and firebird looked on with envy as they escorted us all the way to the top of the mountain stream.
The giant ape licked me and the cobra with its tongue, while the two firebirds also rubbed against us with their smooth feathers on their heads, reluctant to part.
I held back the reluctance in my heart and told them I had to go. At this time, the little firebird grasped my tail tightly, and it took a while for the big firebird to pry it loose. I gritted my teeth and walked forward with the glasses snake.
One step, three looks back, this description is not excessive at all. Every time I look back, I see them still standing there without leaving, but staring at me. The firebird even rises to the sky, looking at me straight. Now I recall a song, my friend.
Maybe there isn't that cup of wine, but we have true feelings of sharing life and death...
"Roar......"
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
"Chatter!"
When my figure disappeared from their sight, their voices came over, as if they were seeing us off. The voice had no previous arrogance, but instead carried a hint of emotion and reluctance, echoing through the entire forest.
"Goodbye! I'm really going to miss them so much, I want to cry!" The glasses snake said with a difficult tone after hearing their voices.
"Just cry if you can! Do you think you're human?" Snakes don't have tears, so I just said that to it.
But if it's said that snakes don't have tears, last time I saw my mother like that, I actually cried once, even I myself didn't know what happened, probably because I still kept a human soul.
I was afraid of getting hurt again, so at this time I and the glasses snake went forward at full speed, until we couldn't hear their voices anymore, then we stopped to rest, and our hearts felt a little better.
The scenes of life and death with them were still vivid in my mind, lingering in my brain for a long time, until the eye-glass snake said to me after a while: "Ji Chen, don't think so much, let's hurry on our way first, after you've finished your business, we can come back, isn't that okay?"
I listened and agreed, and directly followed the glasses snake to crawl forward until the second day later. The glasses snake actually told me that it couldn't find the way down the mountain either, because it had never been out before. However, it said that this place should not be far from the exit of the forest.
I was speechless for a moment, I looked at the direction, we have been walking north all along, since we've walked so far, then we won't change direction, just keep going forward, no matter how big the forest is, there must be an end to it, right?
In the late afternoon, we finally saw the dim lights in the distance. Our hearts were filled with joy, thinking that we had finally made it out. My glasses snake and I excitedly crawled towards the light.
After several miles of walking, we finally arrived at a village. The village looked quite poor, with almost all the houses being tile-roofed and some even thatched with grass. I had no idea where this place was.
Compared to me, the glasses snake was extremely excited: "Ji Chen, I've never seen a human's residence before, wow, it looks so beautiful! It's much more beautiful than the cave I lived in last time, I love it! Let's get one like this too, and let Big Guy and those two birds move in!"
I was speechless again, this guy really is an old adventurer who has been staying in the forest all along, but his imagination is quite rich. I wonder what expression he will have when I take him to the city.
"Hey, what are you doing? Come back quickly!" As soon as this guy finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, looking very excited. I was anxious and hastily called out to stop it. If I'm not mistaken, the people here make a living by hunting, if it runs up there, it might get bitten by someone's hunting dog.
