Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 585 Giant Snake

Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated. They quickly dispersed with their swords in hand, surrounding the giant snake and looking for an opportunity to attack.

At the same time, the giant snake's speed increased, and in a blink of an eye it advanced several meters into the cave. One guard was unlucky and was hit by its tail, flying out and falling at the entrance of the cave.

It was clearly a careless tailspin, but he felt a pain in his chest and flew into the air.

Fortunately, the location was pretty good, so he didn't have to find a way to sneak outside to send a signal.

As a rapid whistle sounded outside the cave, the people and snakes inside moved together.

Cui Bianxu took a few steps to the side of the snake, jumped high, and stabbed down with the two swords in his hands.

The moment the hundred-refined steel, representing the highest smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty, touched the back of the giant snake, a harsh friction sound was heard due to the enormous strength and speed of both sides.

However, perhaps this snake didn't pay much attention to snake hygiene, as it seemed to have a lot of mucus on its body, making it slippery. In addition, its scales were extremely hard, so the two knives slid back a bit, and then the dagger slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Bianxu twisted his waist, stomped his feet twice in the air, turned over and rode on the snake, forcing himself to stab it again with a long knife from a closer distance.

The moment the hard scales were pierced, he seized the opportunity and pushed down hard, but he only penetrated a small part and could not go any deeper.

The giant snake felt pain and twisted its body wildly, trying to throw the person off. Cui Bianxu held the long knife tightly with both hands, and his whole body was nailed to the giant snake's back like a nail.

In an instant, countless pieces of debris fell in the cave.

Seeing this, the guards found the right opportunity and attacked the giant snake's vital parts such as its seven inches and eyes. However, the giant snake was so ferocious that not only were they not hurt at all, but it even opened its mouth, spit out its tongue, roared, and flew towards the guard closest to it to bite.

The guard was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged to the side and swung his knife at the giant snake's jaw.

The giant snake felt pain and shook its head violently, throwing the man out. He hit the stone wall heavily and spurted out a mouthful of blood the moment he landed.

Cui Bianxu was a very protective person. Seeing his men being beaten and bleeding, his anger grew more and more intense. Who knew that this giant snake was even more ferocious? It had lived in this mountain for hundreds of years. No matter what kind of beast saw it, it would retreat in fear.

It has long been a dominant existence.

In the eyes of this snake, the sky is the boss, the earth is second, and it is the third.

These ant-like creatures actually dared to hurt it, and it immediately twisted and turned wildly in the cave. Everyone avoided it wherever it passed, but even so, they all suffered some minor injuries - either they were bumped into the side, or they were scratched by the flying debris.

Jian Ming dodged with a sideways roll, and just as he regained his balance, he rushed towards Cui Bianxu, who was on the giant snake. "Jiulang! Get down quickly!"

Too dangerous!

Cui Bianxu was also feeling uncomfortable at this time. In order to avoid being thrown off or being deliberately hit to death by the stone wall, he had to passively adapt to the giant snake's chaotic movement trajectory while also doing a Thomas full spin from time to time.

Its brains were almost shaking out, and its limbs had varying degrees of abrasions, but he was a strong-willed and stubborn person. He gritted his teeth and refused to let go even though it hurt. While cursing the snake's ancestors in his heart, he used both hands to make the long knife rotate several times in the giant snake's body, causing the giant snake to hiss in pain.

Taking advantage of the momentary gap, he drew out his left hand with a fierce look in his eyes, and used his back teeth as if they were almost trained into trapezius muscles to pry open the wound that had turned into a bloody hole, and pulled out the long sword and put it back into the scabbard.

The guards were so frightened that they knew if anything went wrong with Cui Bianxu, they would all be dead.

Li Sheng thought he was about to come down, so he wanted to delay him for a moment and immediately shouted, "Let's go together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up, swung his long sword and stabbed at the giant snake's huge but emotionless eyes again.

The giant snake was in so much pain that it wanted to eat a human to replenish its energy because Cui Bianxu grabbed the bloody hole on its body with both hands and pulled it apart. When it saw him putting the ant to its mouth, it opened its mouth as wide as possible without hesitation, ready to swallow the little ant into its stomach in one bite.

Seeing this, Li Sheng stopped and quickly retreated, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

Unfortunately, although the giant snake was huge, it was as fast as lightning and arrived in front of him almost instantly. The strong fishy smell covered him tightly.

He felt that he would go to see the King of Hell in the next second, but he was unwilling to die like this, so he simply held the long knife across his head, ready to cut off the tongue of this thing to vent his anger if it was eaten.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, a long rope suddenly hit his ankle, and then he felt dizzy and fell on the ground on his back. A huge force came from his ankle, and his body was pulled out in an instant.

The huge, yellow-spotted snake fang just passed over the tip of his nose.

Having escaped death, Li Sheng opened his eyes wide and breathed in the fresh air in disbelief. Jian Ming's annoying voice came from above his head: "Hurry up and get the rope to help!"

Only then did he realize that the person who saved him was this guy.

He was holding a thick rope, tying a knot skillfully, his eyes fixed on the giant snake. He immediately understood: "Are you going to use this to catch the giant snake?"

Is this guy planning to harness the giant snake like a wild horse?

"Will this work?" Everyone could hear the distrust in his words, but his hands were very honest. He quickly took out a long rope from their bags and tied a knot.

When they went into the mountains to do their work this time, they brought a lot of long ropes with them, just in case they had trouble climbing without ropes.

I didn't expect this guy could come up with such an idea.

Jian Ming curled his lips and rolled his eyes while constantly changing his position to avoid the giant snake's attacks: "Everyone, get ready quickly and follow my instructions. Let's set a trap for this thing together!"

Cui Bianxu, who was riding on the snake, had his hair disheveled and looked like a madman. His hands were covered in blood. He tore off a purse from his waist and held it in his mouth.

This purse contains some poisons and secret medicines secretly made by the Cui family. He usually doesn't carry these with him, but this time someone followed them to this place, so he brought them with him just in case.

I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.

The situation was urgent and the snake was shaking violently, so he had no choice but to pour the water into the bloody hole without thinking twice.

One bottle was poured out and one was thrown away, and soon four or five bottles of medicine were used up.

With the dosage of the drug he gave, even a tiger would have been killed, but this giant snake was really tough. Perhaps it knew that it would return to the underworld today, so it became even more crazy.

At this moment, Jian Ming and others had also prepared the hemp ropes.

He was heard yelling at the top of his lungs: "Now, set!"

As soon as he finished speaking, six long ropes rushed towards the snake's head from different directions!
