Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 437 Outpost
This big snake is at least one foot long, and the back half of its body is hidden in the grass and cannot be seen clearly, but its head raised high shows that its body will not be too short.

Looking at Zhang Wei, the snake glanced at the little guy in Zhang Wei's arms, then suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit Zhang Wei!

Snake bite!

This move was fast and urgent, Zhang Wei didn't dare to be careless, stretched out all six arms, and grabbed the snake's head.

The next moment, although Zhang Wei grabbed the snake's head with both hands, he was also hit by it, and then the snake's body entangled him!
This is a snake's instinctive attack.After being beaten like this, the bloodthirsty vines on Zhang Wei's body immediately came out of his clothes, and wrapped around the snake!

A vine and a snake are entangled like this, and Zhang Wei is caught in the middle!
It's uncomfortable to be caught in the middle!
The strangling power of the snake is not a joke, even if Zhang Wei's six arms are very strong, he still can't break free from the strangling of the snake.

Gradually, Zhang Wei's face turned red, and the snake also showed a trace of pain.

One person, one snake and one vine, they are all torturing each other!At this time, the little guy jumped up and down anxiously.It quickly bit the snake.

But the snake's venom resistance was extremely high, and after only a moment of trance, it returned to its original state and continued to strangle Zhang Wei.The little guy has nothing to do, he can only scream.

"Little guy, go and take out the Vajra Indestructible Pill from my treasure bag!" Zhang Wei was furious!

As soon as the little guy heard this, he immediately got into Zhang Wei's arms, squeezed into Zhang Wei's chest, and took out a few pills from the treasure bag.

Zhang Wei swallowed one immediately, and then a faint aura appeared on the surface of his body, and his defense power was greatly increased!

There was an anthropomorphic look of surprise on the snake's face, and then it exerted force again, entangled even more forcefully.

But at this time, Zhang Wei relaxed. Although he still couldn't move, he didn't feel suffocated anymore.Because the body's defenses were greatly increased, the snake could entangle him, but it couldn't hang him!
Zhang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aren't you stupid? You can take drugs! I can spend days with you!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei was fine, the little guy also heaved a sigh of relief, then jumped on the snake's head and started cursing 'squeaky'.It is also a master who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When the snake entangled Zhang Wei and couldn't move, it took the opportunity to hit it twice!

Although the damage is not high, the insult is extremely great!The snake's eyes were green with anger.

This stalemate really lasted until sunset.For this reason, Zhang Wei ate several Vajra Indestructible Pills!

Finally, the snake couldn't stand it anymore.It couldn't hang Zhang Wei to death, but it was uncomfortably entangled by bloodthirsty vines.Finally, its body began to relax, and the whole snake began to subdue.

Zhang Wei took the opportunity to get out, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he was about to attack the snake.But at this moment, the snake looked at him pitifully, and began to stick out its tongue to beg for mercy.

It is too tired to move, and now it just wants to survive.

At this time, the snake's abdomen rolled for a while, and then it spit out a white bead from its mouth!

This is snake beads!It is said that some successful snakes will condense snake beads in their bodies.The snake bead is the condensate of the snake's soul and body. In the animal taming technique, controlling the snake bead is equivalent to controlling the snake.

And snakes with snake beads are also very potential, because after the evolution of snake beads, they become dragon balls!The snake also shed its snake body and turned into a dragon body!
In order to survive, the snake actually spit out all its snake beads!

Zhang Wei picked up the snake bead in surprise, and said to the snake: "You hand over the snake bead, but are you willing to recognize me as the master?"

The snake nodded helplessly, if you don't recognize you as the master, you will kill me later!Freedom is precious, but life is more expensive.In order to survive, why not be a dog!

This snake does not have human etiquette, righteousness and shame in its mind, and its greatest instinct is to live!

Zhang Wei was overjoyed, this is picking up a snake pet for nothing!He put away the snake beads, and said: "Since you are so sensible, I will accept your snake beads. If you behave well, I might return the snake beads to you!"

This is the technique of imperial servants, whether the people below believe it or not, this pie must be painted.Without big pie, how can the people below have thoughts, and without thoughts, how can they have the motivation to work hard?

As for what constitutes a good performance and a suitable return, this is all up to Zhang Wei.

Sure enough, the snake was still sullen, but upon hearing Zhang Wei's words, it raised its head, and a gleam of light appeared in its eyes.

This ignorant snake probably seldom contacts people, so Zhang Wei caught it with a few words!

Zhang Wei looked at the snake, and finally said, "Okay, you're tired too, let's take a rest first."

After speaking, he sat down cross-legged and began to rest with his eyes closed.He seems to be resting, but he is actually guarding against this snake!
Fortunately, this snake is also honest, it is probably really tired, or really wants to sleep, so it just coiled up and fell asleep!
The next morning, Zhang Wei, who had been on guard all night, woke up the snake.Seeing the sleepy look of the snake, he was very speechless, feeling that it slept well this night!
Zhang Wei said angrily: "From today on, you will be called Qinghua. Because your skin is blue and yellow. It doesn't sound good to be called Huanghua, so you will be called Qinghua!"

Qinghua also had no room for objection, and just made a flattering 'hiss' sound to Zhang Wei.It's a pity that Zhang Wei doesn't speak Parseltongue, otherwise he would be able to understand what it said.

The group continued to move forward, the little guy was backed by Zhang Wei, and he was not afraid of Qinghua, but dared to jump up and down on Qinghua's head.This is quite a feeling of a mouse dancing to a cat...

I don't know how long I left.Zhang Wei's eyes were blank, and he finally walked out of the pasture area.

Moving on, the road became more and more dry, and finally reached a piece of loess-covered ground, and then a solitary sentry tower stood in front of it.

This is sentinel number three!The whole body is made of bluestone strips. It is five feet high and about three feet square. This sentry tower is cylindrical.There is still a large section buried in the soil below.A small door is the entrance, the entrance is very short, you need to bow your body to enter.This is also for the sake of safety.

After walking not far, a bow and arrow suddenly shot towards Zhang Wei.Zhang Wei stretched out his hand, grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted: "I am the garrison mage sent by Xiling City, and I have a certificate!"

At this time, a human head stuck out from the top of the sentry tower and said, "Shove your credentials through the door, don't play tricks!"

Zhang Wei went up and stuffed the piece of paper into the crack of the door.In fact, there are quite a few palm-sized holes beside the gate. People in the sentry tower can stick their spears out of these holes to assassinate the people by the gate.

After a while, the door was opened, and a man said to Zhang Wei, "Come in."

Zhang Wei walked in with a cat's body, and saw a dozen or so ashen-faced people watching him warily.

"Let me in like this, your guards are not strong." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

When the people in front heard this, their complexions changed slightly, and suddenly they all took out spears and big knives.

Zhang Wei immediately said: "I am really the garrison mage sent by Xiling City, and I am a disciple of Xinghuang Temple in Jinhua Mansion."

When those people heard it, their faces were a little ugly, and they said, "What do you mean? Playing us for fun?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "No, I just want to say that if I really want to kill you, you have no way to resist."

After his words fell, a snake suddenly came out of the holes by the door!
The hole is small, and the blue and white are very large.But blue and white can get out of this small hole, because it has the ability to shrink bones!

No matter how small the gap is, it can get through!

"Snake! What a big snake!" The faces of these people changed drastically, and they were about to hit Qing Hua with their weapons.And Qing Hua just shook his head, and knocked these people to the ground.

Compared with this kind of snake, human beings are too weak!Unless there is a huge advantage in numbers and sophisticated weapons and equipment, it is really difficult for ordinary people to deal with this strange beast.

Zhang Wei said at this time: "Don't be afraid, this is my pet beast, it is to assist you in defending the sentry point, and this is also the reason why I dare to come here!"

When the others heard what Zhang Wei said, they looked at each other for a while, and then they cupped their hands and said to him, "The Taoist priest is amazing!"

Only then did Zhang Wei nod, and then said gently, "Who is your whistle chief?"

............................................................

Facing a group of people who face life and death every day and don't know if there is a tomorrow, all means are better than showing their strength and shocking their hearts.

After knowing that Zhang Wei in front of them was someone they could not fight against, the group of sentinels became more honest.At least on the surface they are honest.

The whistle chief is Jiang Dacui, a stout man.There are 25 people in this No. [-] post. They have been here for more than a month, and they will guard here for at least half a year.

The soldiers at the sentry point have to be on duty, otherwise no one will suffer.It is too much psychological pressure to guard against sneak attacks every day.

Standing next to Zhang Wei, the sentry chief Jiang Dacui introduced: "There are 25 brothers in total. They have a year's supply of food, but there is not much water. Although there is a well in the sentry, the flow is often cut off, so water must be used sparingly."

"In addition to people, there are fifty spears, fifty crossbows, three thousand bows and arrows, and fifty pairs of armor. In addition, there are firewood, kerosene, dried wolf dung, and medicinal materials. Wait for the sundries."

As he spoke, he led Zhang Wei around the sentry point.

There is a basement at the sentinel, and there are a lot of vegetables and other things in it, which is equivalent to a cellar.

Food cannot be placed underneath, otherwise it will become moldy.There is a water eye at the sentry point, which is a hole in the ground from which water can emerge.The water below here gathers very slowly, and there is only one bucket of water in a whole day, which is barely enough to eat and use, so there is no need to think about taking a bath.

Knives, guns and weapons are prepared according to the number of heads, and they can be replenished if they are damaged.In fact, the supplies at the outpost are always in sufficient supply. You can't let everyone risk their lives and have a shortage of supplies!In this way, there is no need to fight this battle, and the people at the sentinel surrendered directly.

The sentinel is divided into three floors, and the ground floor is the usual activity center for everyone.The second layer is sleeping, food storage and kitchen.The third layer is stacked with weapons and sundries.In fact, there is another level at the highest level, which is the top of the sentry tower, where everyone usually looks out and sets off the smoke.

The arrival of Zhang Wei gave everyone a reason to be happy.

The cook made a stewed vermicelli with jerky and cabbage. There is no shortage of jerky and vermicelli here, but cabbage is missing.Cabbage is not easy to preserve, and it can only be supplemented by Xiling City. It is really a rare commodity.

In addition to stewing vermicelli with dried meat, the whistle chief also took out a pot of wine.This wine is not a must-have, so the amount is very small, even if Zhang Wei came, each person can only get a small glass.

"Daozhang Zhang, eat more meat. This is the best air-dried beef, and it tastes good." The whistle chief kept adding meat to Zhang Wei, while he kept adding cabbage to his own bowl.

Zhang Wei looked funny at this, but he didn't say anything, but picked up the bowl and started eating.

..................................................................

The life at the sentry point is boring. Everyone can't go out to patrol, and they dare not go out to patrol. They can only stay in this sentry tower.Over time, this will really give birth to problems.

But this kind of boring is better than losing your life, and the people here have nothing to complain about.

In the first few days, Zhang Wei took out the book given to him when he joined the army and read it.Most of the guard towers are illiterate, only the guard understands some characters, but the guard is not interested in this kind of 'plain' book without pictures.

Most of these books introduce the customs and customs here, some are captured from the people of Daqin, and some record the customs and customs of Daqin.

Zhang Wei just watched and played to see if he could get any extra gains.

Looking at it, Zhang Wei suddenly saw a magical thing - water-absorbing moss.

This is a type of moss found only in dry places of the prairie.On the prairie, rain is not always there, and there are also dry seasons and rainy seasons.Whenever the rainy season comes, this water-absorbing moss will absorb rainwater crazily.It has a special fluffy structure that traps rainwater in this structure.Someone has calculated that one tael of water-absorbing moss can absorb more than a catty of water!

If you don't have water in the prairie, try to find these water-absorbing mosses, they can sometimes save your life!

Seeing this thing, Zhang Wei suddenly had an idea in his mind.He turned his head and asked Jiang Dacui: "Do you know about water-absorbing moss?"

Jiang Dacui, who was in a daze, showed a hint of confusion when asked by Zhang Wei, and said, "What moss?"

"Water-absorbing moss!"

"Absorb what?"

"Water-absorbing moss! Forget it! I won't ask!"

Looking at Jiang Dacui's stupid look, Zhang Wei didn't ask him what he was thinking.At this time, a person on the side said: "Zhang Daochang, I know this thing!"

"You know?" Zhang Wei asked in surprise.

"Of course I know, I'm a local! We also call this thing 'Shui Po Po' or 'Shui Guanyin' because it can really save lives!" The man said with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Wei knew that he really knew, so he asked, "Do you know where I can get this thing?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's useless to tell you, that place is occupied by Daqin people, you can't go there!"
