"Hoo~"

"I'm old, I'm old! I'm really useless. The old lady can't even win against a rookie in the world now."

As soon as Zhang Gu boldly left, he saw that the old woman seemed to be discouraged and kept sighing at herself. At the same time, she kept looking at the young man who had fought side by side with her peripheral vision.

Zhou Zhen, who was watching Zhang Bingdao leave, saw this, turned around, smiled, and said gently: "What did the snake woman say? If Zhang Bingdao hadn't swallowed the martial stone now, how could he fight with you."

At this point, he changed his voice and said, "Mother-in-law, I heard that you have raised many strange and mysterious little guys. I wonder if you have any clues about this guy who stole the ice silkworms?"

"Hahaha, you little friend has such a sweet mouth. You don't look like those rigid and merciless demon slayers. This is indeed true. Please allow me, old lady, to take a closer look."

"To be honest, old lady, I am also a little curious. Who is it that can steal the ice silkworms under our noses?"

Speaking of this, Snake Woman changed her previous kind face and became a little fierce.

Yes, after all, how many people who can survive in this world are really kind?

She took a few steps forward to where the mouse was before, and then lowered her body to observe it carefully.

As soon as he touched his fingers, he picked up some dust and rubbed it, then he put it to his nose and smelled it. He frowned thoughtfully and murmured to himself:

"What does this smell like?"

As she spoke, she suddenly put the dust into her mouth and tasted it, and then her face turned ugly.

"Urine? Rat urine!"

"No, no, this mark belongs to that rat."

Next to Zhou Zhen, looking at the series of behaviors of the snake woman, he was a little strange. Are these people who play with snakes and poison doctors so perverted?

It didn't take long for the snake woman to move her position and come to a lying mark.

"This is?"

"What's this?"

Zhou Zhen also squatted down next to him and asked the snake lady curiously.

Because this lying mark is really too obvious at this location.

Snake Lady ignored Zhou Zhen. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the lying mark, as if caressing her lover's fingers.

Of course, if someone could zoom in and look at her fingertips at this moment, they would definitely be able to see some strange little creatures.

As she stroked, when she suddenly made a tiny scratch, her fingers suddenly paused slightly and then returned to normal.

During the whole process, her expression kept changing. Finally, she quickly glanced at Zhou Zhen with her peripheral vision and slowly uttered one word:

"snake!"

"Snake?" Zhou was shocked and couldn't believe it. "Is it impossible? How could a snake appear here and eat the mouse and the wooden box?"

Unexpectedly, the snake woman glared at him and said, "Are you questioning my many years of experience, old lady? I have been playing with snakes for so many years and still don't know whether it is a snake?"

"If nothing else, it should be a Ten Thousand Snake. Now that the spring sun has arrived, this Ten Thousand Snake must have just woken up to hunt for food. It just happened to stumble upon it and ate it."

"Yeah?"

Zhou Zhen glanced at the snake lady suspiciously and replied. He vaguely sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was. After all, he didn't know much about snakes.

"In that case, let's just say goodbye and each find his own way."

Having said this, Snake Woman stood up again and left as if nothing had happened.

However, at this moment, there was a moment of hesitation in her heart, and a hint of joy that she could not explain.

Is it really just a snake?

Zhou Zhen crossed his chest and held his chin, staring at Snake Woman who was walking away, and muttered to himself.

…

At night, the bright moonlight shines like water on this forest. Now the lively scene during the day has long gone, leaving only a mess in the forest.

However, at this time, a figure appeared, a figure that should have left.

Snake woman!

It turns out that Snake Woman never left, it was just Yang Zuo who left in an attempt to deceive Zhou Zhen.

At this time, she seemed to have seen Zhou Zhen leave, and then came back leisurely.

As for why she came back, I have to mention what she discovered today.

She is still vaguely recalling the scratch at noon today.

Is that trace today really a snake? Ten thousand snakes?

Yes and no.

Faced with Zhou Zhen's question at that time, Snake Lady did answer honestly without any hint of deception, but there was one thing she did not say. She did not reveal all her findings.

There are indeed snake-like traces there, that's true, but why is there a sharp scratch in the traces?

Although she had no time to think too much because of time constraints.

But with her many years of research on snakes.

She discovered that the location of the scratch was indeed on the body of the unknown "snake" based on its body position at the time, and was not scratched by an eagle that landed accidentally.

So she subconsciously hid it.

After all, the two were neither related nor friends, so there was no need for her to tell him completely.

Then she suppressed the curiosity in her heart and pretended to leave. Then she waited until Zhou Zhen was almost gone and then came back to check.

While thinking about it, Snake Woman came to this trace again.

It wasn't until she saw that the traces were still there that she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the traces were not destroyed.

After all, during this period of time, she had carefully recalled the original traces several times, and finally she inexplicably discovered that the traces looked a bit like jade claws.

The snake's lying marks and jade claws...

In addition, her baby was feeling inexplicably uneasy today.

Is this the trace of an earth dragon?

No, that's not right, Earth Dragon's scratches can't be so sharp.

Moreover, it is impossible for her baby to feel uneasy in the face of an earth dragon. Only higher-level species or natural enemies would feel so uneasy.

But her baby has been cultivated for so many years, and ordinary snakes are no match for it.

So……

A certain premonition came to her mind, and she couldn't wait any longer. She bent down directly and began to observe carefully.

Because she had left once before, she had made preparations during this period.

So I saw countless densely packed little bugs crawling down from her body, covering her with the scent of her guidance, and soon they were painted on the ground like ink.

Then a mysterious creature with long claws formed on the ground.

The moment she saw this mark appearing, Snake Woman's eyes widened for a moment, her expression frozen and she couldn't believe her eyes.

This, this, this trace is...

Suddenly, Snake Woman's heart beat rapidly, because this meant that her guess might be right!

Subconsciously, she looked around suspiciously, even though there was probably no one around at the moment, and then decisively dispersed these little bugs.

No, you can't be so decisive.

Snake Woman shook her head decisively, thinking about the countless manpower and material resources that the great court spent from the founding of the country to the present, which took nearly a thousand years.

She has never found such a mysterious and powerful creature, how could she meet him so easily now.

She also needs to carefully search for any other traces around her.

Thinking of this, she drove these little bugs to remember this smell and began to slowly search for it.
