C441 Little Snake Reappearance

With a 'whoosh', it was very, very light, like the faint sound of a wind blowing through leaves. The sound was so soft that it did not attract anyone's attention, including the scholar.

At this moment, the scholar's attention was completely focused on whether or not there was a sneak attack. He did not care about the rain, wind, leaves and so on.

However, that sound did not end there. It was like a huge python going back and forth in the forest. Its speed got faster and faster, and the sound it made also got louder and louder.

Although he did not know what made this strange sound, the scholar did not subconsciously run away. If he were to leave the tree trunk at this moment, he would have no way of defending against the illusionist's sneak attack on his back.

The voice seemed to be deliberately directed in the direction of the scholar, giving him an inexplicable sense of nervousness and fear. It originated from the fear of strange things, and because he didn't know what it was, his brain directly categorized it as something terrifying.

The sounds were getting closer and closer, louder and louder, and the sounds were getting louder and louder, as if the number of students was increasing and the students could no longer hold it in. He no longer had any previous thoughts, if it was an enemy, perhaps he could still fight, but with so many unknown things surrounding him, even if he wanted to fight, he would have to fight with everything he had.

Right now, forget about whether or not there would be a illusionist sneak attack from behind him, even using blades in the sky wouldn't be able to stop him from escaping. Furthermore, compared to the illusionist, this unknown object was even more terrifying. As a result, the scholar no longer cared about whether or not he would be attacked from the back. He mustered his strength and sprinted in the opposite direction of the voice.

Sometimes, people just think too naively. There is no basis for facts and no theoretical basis. They just think that they have encountered such a terrifying thing unilaterally! This argument was laughable.

By the time the scholar had run for his life, the place where the sound had come from was completely silent. Everything was quiet. Then, a small dark green snake elegantly crawled out of the bushes. The snake still had something like a rope in its mouth, and the other end of the rope was deeply hidden in the bushes. If the scholar were here, he would definitely know that the noise just now was caused by this small dark green snake.

The little snake spat out something that looked like a rope and looked in the direction in which the scholar had fled. Then he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

"Pavilion Master, then... Is that a snake? " Su Wanyue took a step back in fear. It was probably because women were naturally afraid of snakes, so when a snake appeared suddenly, even if it was not in front of him, it would still feel some fear.

"Oh, it's a little snake, don't be afraid!" Gongsun Ztian looked at the mischievous little snake and smiled as he comforted Su Wanyue.

"But ?" After hearing that Gongsun Ze Tian was certain that it was the 'snake' species, Su Wanyue's pale face, which had yet to recover, became even paler. She subconsciously hid behind Gongsun Ze Tian and timidly opened her mouth to say something, but before she could say anything, she was cut off by Gongsun Ze Tian with a smile.

"Don't worry, it's different from the other snakes. These are my spoils of war!" Gongsun Ze Tian pulled Su Wanyue who was hiding behind him over, smiled as he interrupted her, and explained to her.

"The loot?" Su Wanyue opened her eyes wide as she asked curiously. She had heard of captives being their spoils of war, and had also heard of obtaining certain treasures as spoils of war. Only a few people said that they captured a living snake for their spoils of war! Could it be that this snake was following someone else? And the pavilion master killed the owner of this snake and then captured it for his spoils of war?

Thinking about it, Su Wanyue couldn't help but shiver in her heart. What kind of hobby was this pavilion master exactly, why was she trying to catch a snake to play with? She even found such a lousy excuse.

"Remember the head?" Seeing Su Wanyue looking at her in such a manner, reckoned that this girl was lost in her thoughts. Thus, she explained to Su Wanyue while pointing at the human head that was still hanging on the tree trunk.

"Hmm, that big guy is so weird. He has a face full of stubble, but he wants to tie a woman's hair bun!" Su Wanyue looked at the head embedded in the tree trunk, and nodded as she commented.

"That little snake was originally following that transvestite! However, that transvestite was killed by me and it was caught by me. Now, it will listen to me! " Gongsun Zaitian continued to explain, as if he was talking about an extremely dull matter in the air.

However, Su Wanyue knew that the process was not as simple as he said it would be. The other party was not someone who had no power, so Gongsun Zaitian had to go through a lot of effort to settle this matter.

"Is it domesticated?" Su Wanyue thought of another problem. Although such an intelligent little snake had Inherent Skill, it couldn't be lacking in nurturing. But the problem now was, how could other people train such a clever little snake so easily?

"What do you mean by tamed? That's in exchange for my conditions!" Gongsun Ze Tian looked at the little snake's extremely fast speed, and chased after the scholar from a strange angle. He did not forget to stick his tongue out at him during the entire process, and even Gongsun Ze Tian laughed at his actions, but he did not forget to explain to Su Wanyue the doubts she had.

"Switch? Wait a minute, you want to negotiate terms with the snake? " When Su Wanyue first heard Gongsun Zaitian say that she would use conditions to exchange, she didn't even have the time to react. But very quickly, she became even more surprised, her eyes opened wide, as if she was looking at a lunatic. She even had the urge to reach out and touch Gongsun Zaitian's forehead.

It was normal to trade or exchange with others, but the meaning behind Gongsun Zaitian's words clearly meant that he was making a deal with that little snake. So how could this snake do such a thing? Did it understand human speech? Talking about conditions? Did he feed them a few times a day?

"Hmm, I told you earlier, it is not an ordinary snake!" To be exact, it is not a wild beast, but a demonic beast. It is only in its infancy and is unable to take human form! " Gongsun Ztian continued to explain to Su Wanyue. At the same time, his gaze never left the illusions.

"Demonic beast?" Su Wanyue subconsciously asked. She had never heard of the name 'Demonic Beast' before, and the wild beast had often heard of it. Of course, with her status, she wouldn't often come into contact with the wild beast.

"That's right, you might not even have come into contact with this kind of thing! What you usually see is a wild beast. A wild beast's IQ is at most 7 or 8 years old, it would be amazing if it could occasionally reach the age of 10! But Monstrous Beasts are different. They have intelligence comparable to humans, and some special Monstrous Beasts even surpass normal humans. Some top quality Monstrous Beasts can even become part of the peak intelligence of humans. " Gongsun Zaitian spoke with confidence, like a wise man who read a lot of books, omniscient and omniscient.

"Demon beasts are actually this powerful? Then why have we rarely seen them?" Su Wanyue was extremely shocked, and exclaimed out loud. At the same time, countless questions surged out as though a hundred thousand questions about the reason.

Since young, although Su Wanyue had rushed around for the sake of living, but had seen and heard far more than most women, she had never heard of any other demon beasts.

According to the historical records of the various families, demon beasts actually lived together with humans a long time ago. However, due to the greed of some extreme humans, they forcibly took away the beast cores to aid in their cultivation. Not only that, their cultivation had advanced greatly in a short period of time. Gongsun Ztian was from a big clan and had been familiar with all the books in the clan since he was a child. Furthermore, he knew all of the knowledge within the clan's books.

"Did the humans win in the end?" Su Wanyue asked.

"I don't know. There's no record of it. Maybe it is. Otherwise, we can't hide deep inside the mountains and there won't be any news about it!" Gongsun Zaitian answered noncommittally. He neither nodded nor shook his head. According to his own analysis and understanding, the great battle that year must have been extremely tragic and both sides must have suffered heavy casualties. However, such a deep grudge shouldn't have disappeared for thousands and thousands of years.

Unless some almighty expert intervened and completely resolved the enmity, it would be impossible to remain calm for so many years. Only this kind of situation would explain things. If that happened, both sides would surely fight to the death, perhaps even until one side was completely annihilated.

If that was really the case, then what kind of promise did the almighty elder give to the demon beasts to be able to obediently stay in one place for tens of thousands of years without appearing?

"Why don't I know about these things!" Su Wanyue said somewhat embarrassedly to Gongsun Ze Tian with a displeased look on his face. She was Gongsun Ztian's eyes and ears, and even this kind of thing had to be told to him by the pavilion master. Yet, he acted like a fool and didn't know anything. Was this not a dereliction of his duty?

On one hand, since you have joined the Listening Rain Pavilion, your focus has not been on these trivial matters. On the other hand, the detailed history of these things are all explained by the upper echelons of the various powers, and the identification and judgement of the demon beasts have been spread among the common folk. When you go back, you can ask your subordinates, some of them should know some general information about it, especially those who have been members of the bounty hunter, they should have heard of it from the elders. Gongsun Ze Tian laughed. He suddenly felt that Su Wanyue, who had a broken heart, was more like a girl now, and this sort of thing still required her to be emotional, so he explained it to her.
