The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 262: Snake Bones Coiled on a Giant Tree

goo goo-

The forest was once again shrouded in darkness, and the earth was silent, like a bottomless void.

People cannot see the road under their feet, nor can they see the vast sky when they look up.

This is a closed world, surrounded only by giant trees standing like javelins and vines that grow in a messy and twisted manner.

After killing the madman, Zhang Wuling and his group continued to move forward smoothly.

But now, because of the darkness, they had to stop again.

Finding a suitable campsite is the most important thing at the moment.

Fortunately, we were lucky enough to find a relatively flat place in the forest that was so dense that there was nowhere to stand.

After clearing away some vegetation, everyone started setting up tents.

Tonight is better than last night because it didn't rain, except for the slightly low temperature.

After setting up the camp, everyone started preparing dinner.

So Zhang Lingyu and a few others including Hei Guan'er formed a team and went to the woods to collect some firewood.

Everything should have been normal, but unexpectedly, not long after Hei Guaner and the others left, Zhang Lingyu came back alone with a serious look on his face.

"Wuling, something's going on here."

Zhang Wuling heard this and asked curiously, "Why? What happened?"

"Yeah." Zhang Lingyu nodded. "It's hard to say for sure. You'll know when you come and take a look."

It must be something unusual that could make Zhang Lingyu look like this.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Wuling followed Zhang Lingyu into the woods and then came to a depression.

When they arrived at the depression, Zhang Wuling finally understood why Zhang Lingyu had such an expression, and He Guaner and the others were also there.

There was a huge tree growing in the depression. What was shocking was that there was a huge snake skeleton coiled around the giant fir tree.

Judging from its bones, this snake is larger than an anaconda and as thick as a train, wrapped around a giant sequoia tree.

"This is the biggest snake I have ever seen." said Black Tube.

Ma Xianhong was also shocked. "It's unbelievable that there are such giant snakes in the world."

If there were no horns on this snake bone, no one would doubt that it was a dragon.

Zhang Lingyu said, "We should be worried now. If there's a giant creature like this here, there might be another one. Our camp is very close to here. Isn't it too dangerous?"

"Don't scare yourself yet." Zhang Wuling observed for a moment. "There aren't any animal tracks here. It's possible that the scent of the dead giant snake is keeping the other beasts in the forest away. If that's the case, it might even be beneficial to us."

Zhang Lingyu was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was true. Most animals have a keen ability to detect smells.

Some animals even leave their scent in their territory to warn other animals not to approach.

The size of this giant snake is truly terrifying. It must have been the overlord of this forest when it was alive.

Although no one knows why he died here, his remaining aura can still scare other creatures.

In this way, their camp would be safer and they wouldn't have to worry about being attacked.

Zhang Wuling asked, "Apart from this giant snake bone, have you found anything else?"

Clarinet held a pile of dry firewood and shook his head, saying, "No, it really gave us a fright when we first saw it."

"That's good. Although it's indeed surprising, if it's just a pair of snake bones, there's no need to make a fuss. After all, the world is full of wonders. Let's go back first."

"it is good."

After Zhang Wuling brought his men back, Wang Ye and the others gathered around immediately.

"Uncle Junior Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing happened. We just ran into a big snake bone. Everyone was just too surprised."

"Snake bones?" Feng Baobao blinked. "Brother, can I make soup with them?"

"Uh..." Zhang Wuling was stunned and couldn't understand what was going on.

Xia He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pulled Feng Baobao and said, "Okay, don't forget to eat. If you're hungry, we'll cook now."

"Oh." Feng Baobao nodded.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, everyone relaxed and started preparing dinner.

After dinner, everyone followed the old rules, taking turns to keep watch in groups of two, while the others went to rest.

The first group consisted of Feng Xingtong and Ma Fule, and the rest of the people went into the tent.

Feng Xingtong had nothing to do at night, so he kept watch while chatting with Ma Fule.

It was basically Feng Xingtong who was asking questions, while Ma Fuer was talking, introducing the situation of the Western magical world.

"Um, why is your Avatar the Big Melon the Unforgivable Curse?"

Ma Fuer said as a matter of course: "Because it will take people's lives!"

"Ah?" Feng Xingtong was dumbfounded. "So, your Unforgivable Curse is because of this?"

"Yes." Ma Fuer nodded. "Isn't it unforgivable to take someone's life? Although I sometimes don't like this explanation, it is indeed true."

Feng Xingtong was silent, not knowing what to say.

Do these foreigners have such high moral standards?

Although taking someone else's life is unforgivable, it seems that this happens frequently among them.

Not to mention depriving people of their lives, it is not uncommon to exterminate entire families or kill nine generations of their clan.

There are so many grudges and revenges in the martial arts world, and fighting each other is even more common. Everyone learns a skill, basically aiming to take people's lives, and there is no such thing as unforgivable.

Even the compassionate Buddhism is not without drastic measures.

If Feng Xingtong knew that there was a guy called 'Boiled Egg Head' or 'No Nose' in the West, who was labeled evil because he split his soul to make Horcruxes and pursued immortality, he would probably be even more surprised.

Because this is not a strange thing in the Eastern world.

And there is nothing wrong with pursuing eternal life. Since we can all practice cultivation, who doesn’t want to be among the immortals and live forever?

Just as the two were chatting, a long shadow was silently stretching towards the camp in the darkness.

Ma Fuer was talking incessantly when he suddenly felt something entangled around his ankle.

Just as he lowered his head to look, a strong pulling force came, pulling him to the ground and quickly dragging him away.

"Mavro!"

Feng Xingtong was also shocked and shouted loudly, while chasing after Ma Fule.

But just as he shouted, a figure suddenly jumped out of the tent and rescued Ma Fule in an instant, with terrifying speed.

It was not until this time that Maful discovered that what had just entangled him was actually a vine.

But how could a vine move and even attack people?

At this time, Zhang Wuling, who had just rescued Ma Fule, looked around - countless vines emerged from the woods, some crawling on the ground, and some dancing in the air.

Every vine around seemed to have life, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether these things belonged to animals or plants.

Just as Zhang Wuling was observing the situation, vines that looked like insect tentacles launched an attack from all directions.

"Oh, this damn place really doesn't allow people to have a good night's sleep..."
