Chapter 9 The Paper Horse
With the sound of drinking, the members of the Li clan who were migrating and fleeing suddenly panicked, and those who were timid immediately ran away screaming.

Seeing this, Patriarch Li immediately shouted: "Unity and never abandoning is the ancestral motto of our Li family in Sifang City, and it is the foundation of our family's prosperity. Regardless, those who dare to violate it will take away their surnames and clan members can attack them together."

As soon as these words came out, those few timid people immediately stopped and returned to the team, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the patriarch again.

In the distance, the disciples of Pavilion Master Wu saw that everyone was stagnant, and immediately turned around anxiously and shouted: "The snake demon arrived in the blink of an eye, why didn't you run away but stopped at the same place? Don't you all want to feed the snake with your body? "

Patriarch Li didn't look back after hearing this, but continued to face the clansman and said:

"Everyone, listen to my orders, and the young and strong will come out immediately. Your task is to protect the women and children of the clan and reach Sifang City safely. From now on, as long as you unite as one, my Li clan will not be bullied by the people in the city. Do you understand?"

"Patriarch, we are willing to die for the people of our clan, to fight to the death with that snake monster." Dozens of young and strong people with red eyes who came out said one after another.

The patriarch waved his hand domineeringly, "You wait to obey orders, remember, your duty is to protect every surviving clansman, and you are the hope of our Li clan, how can you die so easily?"

"Li Mo comes out." The patriarch suddenly shouted.

The man named Li Mo was a burly man in his 30s, he answered and came out.

Patriarch Li untied the package behind him, held it up in front of him with both hands, and then said:
"This copper box is a relic of the old patriarch. It is now entrusted to you for safekeeping. From now on, you are the new patriarch. You need to help Li Mo protect the clan and not disobey his orders."

"Patriarch, this is you." Li Mo knelt down on the ground with red eyes, and was about to say something but was scolded by the patriarch:

"How can the snake demon waste time with you in a short time? Take it quickly and lead the people out of this place immediately."

"Yes," Li Mo raised his arms to catch the package, bowed down and got up immediately after bowing, shouting: "Those who go out will carry the young children and female relatives on their backs, and leave this place immediately."

There was a burst of crying in the team. The young children, women and the young people who looked at the rest reluctantly cried and waved goodbye. The scene was tragic and heartbreaking.

"Chan'er." Mrs. Wang was held firmly by the arm by a young and strong man, and kept persuading her.

"Let go of me, I want to be with big brother." Li Miao was carried on the shoulders by the young and strong of the clan, and he let him shout and beat without looking back.

Li Can bit his lips tightly at this moment, his face extremely bitter.

Just because he was on two crutches, he was judged as one of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and he died together with these people with gray faces and snake venom in his body, just to attract the snake demon and give other tribesmen a chance to escape.

Li Can felt bitter in his heart, but he also knew that if he disobeyed the patriarch's order, he would not only be expelled, but also be chased and killed by the clan.

Besides, I can't run fast at all at this time, whether I can escape in front of the snake demon is still a matter of opinion, so no matter how I look at it, I can't escape the situation of death.

Not only Li Can, but also the more than 30 people who were left here had the same idea.

Some of these people have gray hair and frail bodies, some are pale and bloodless, obviously snake venom has entered their bodies and never recovered, and it is difficult to go too far without the help of their clansmen.

"Dear family members, this old man has no choice but to make this decision, but for the sake of the Li family to continue, no matter how much sacrifices are made, this old man will not hesitate."

"This old man knows that his sins are serious, and he is willing to sacrifice his life for justice to be the first person to stop the snake demon. Now you can scatter to the left and right and do as you please. As for life and death, it depends on God's will."

After finishing speaking, Patriarch Li raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see that the billowing smoke was only two or three miles away from this place, and it would arrive here in a short while at the speed of the snake demon.

"If you don't disperse and run away, do you really want to wait here to die?"

Patriarch Li let out a long sigh after he finished speaking, and greeted the snake demon with his hands on his back.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly shook his hands behind him lightly, and a black bead the size of a goose egg dropped from his sleeves, and he whispered to himself softly:
"Today, I will let you, a bastard, taste the 'shocking thunder' that our Li clan used to open mountains and explode mines. Even if you don't die, you will have to suffer a lot, so that you can relieve the hatred in my heart."

At this time Li Can and the others woke up and fled away, but these people were either old and weak, or were dying from the snake venom. They staggered only a few tens of meters before falling to the ground out of breath.

Although the desire to survive was very strong and struggled to crawl forward, after a while they had no more strength. Some cried and gave up struggling on the ground, some turned over and sat up and closed their eyes, cursing the injustice of the heavens but looking The look of resignation.

Among these people, only Li Can was still fighting desperately, and he was seen walking away on crutches to one side.

At this time, there were bursts of pain in the palm of the hand, blood flowed from the worn-out palm, sweat dripped from the forehead, and there were bursts of tingling in the sore and swollen legs.However, these pains were not worth mentioning in Li Can's strong desire to survive, and he still gritted his teeth and moved forward desperately.

After a while, Li Can suddenly heard a loud noise behind him.

When I looked back, I saw a huge flame rising up with thick smoke, and after a miserable roar came, a black head the size of a room emerged from the smoke.

The raised body of the White-browed Viper King fell to the ground with a bang, and the weak shock even reached Li Can's feet.

I saw a small red horn growing on its huge head, about a foot long.There are two large white palm-sized spots on the vertical pupils the size of a human head, like two round eyebrows, which is why the snake demon got its name.

Its vertical pupils revealed a cold and blood-thirsty light, and there were two upside-down sharp fangs in its upper palate. The color was so white that it made people shudder.

After hitting the ground, the white-browed viper king kept shaking his head, obviously injured by the two 'shocking thunders' in the patriarch's hand. With the shaking of the snake's head, several palm-sized scales flew out from the mouth, blood Suddenly gushes out and falls on the ground.

Li Can is not the only one standing still at this moment, several disciples of Pavilion Master Wu are also watching from a distance, and the mature-looking man among them can't help but shake his head and say:

"I didn't expect that patriarch Li was a loyal and strong person. He would rather die to protect the clan. He must have been a ruthless character when he was young!"

A tall and thin man with a sallow complexion beside him echoed a few times and then suddenly said: "It's a pity that the snake demon was not seriously injured, otherwise we might be able to get a big bargain together."

"Getting cheap? What is Second Senior Brother thinking?" A young, short and fat disciple next to him interjected:
"Master said that all snake monsters are extremely vengeful. I'm afraid that it will be very angry when it calms down later. It will definitely not stop until these Li clan members and us are exterminated."

"The third junior brother is right. It seems that we should be more careful when we go out of the city, so as not to be guarded by it and be plotted against."

The mature-looking man nodded repeatedly, and then suddenly sighed again: "It is admirable that Patriarch Li is willing to die in order to protect the clansman. Besides, we collected 50 taels of gold but did nothing to help. In this heart It’s a bit embarrassing.”

The tall and thin man with a sallow complexion immediately replied: "What Senior Brother said is very true, and Master also said that cultivation is to cultivate the mind, and there is no shame in the heart to stand on one's own feet, but I don't know how Senior Brother can help them?"

"This... it's better for the second junior brother to ride back to the city immediately on a paper horse. The leader Chen guarding the city gate is a brother and friend. Only by asking him to activate the formation on the city gate can these Li clan members be saved. By the way, to activate the formation requires Charge the fee, and take these three gold ingots." After speaking, he immediately threw three gold ingots to him.

"It seems like that's the only way to go, so I'll take a trip." The tall and thin man took the gold ingot and put it in his arms, then took out another thing, and when he stretched out his palm, it turned out to be a black paper horse the size of a palm.

This paper horse is not painted in watercolor, but hand-cut like the paper-cut of later generations. Although the mouth, eyes, ears and nose are hollowed out, it looks lifelike. The material of the paper horse is also quite thick and hard. It is definitely not ordinary paper in the world.

I saw that he bit his finger on the forehead of the paper horse, and after the blood had soaked into the paper horse, he took out a golden hoop-like spiritual weapon and put it on the forehead, and then chanted the incantation to throw the paper horse away.

Hearing a neighing sound, a tall horse fell out of nowhere, with a trace of mist emitting from its body, its eyes were red and its body was pitch black. After snorting, it landed firmly on the ground.

"Take care, both of you, I'll go back as soon as I go." The tall and thin man jumped up and sat astride his horse, raised his hand and pointed at the city in the distance, and shouted: "Dun."

The black horse immediately jumped into the air and galloped away half a foot off the ground.
