I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 146: Driving the snake and swallowing the wolf
  The sun was rising, and the orange light shone down, like a veil covering the top of the mountain.

The mountains are green with green pines and willows, shrouded in clouds and mist, and are as beautiful as a dream.

Squatting on a piece of bluestone, Cao An stretched out his hand to pick up the sweet mountain spring water and drank it all in one gulp.

It’s a new day, really refreshing and... funny.

Looking under the boulder next to the grill, Ying Huorong had fallen gloriously.

He wasn't defeated by the Jingyu Crow, but he ate hundreds of pairs of giant roasted wings and stuffed himself.

On the other side, there is also the own little arowana who is also full.

It floated out of an eggshell crookedly, and its belly was obviously fatter, just like a pregnant mother, which made people laugh.

As if knowing that Cao An was making fun of it, the little dragon fish coyly jumped into the water embroidery pattern, these two! I don't treat them badly on weekdays, so there's no need to eat so hard.

After waiting for a while, Ying Huorong finished digesting the food.

Look at that slim waist. Where has all that flesh gone?

With this question in mind, Cao An moved his gaze upwards and found that the position that was not very prominent at first was now larger.

Can it still be like this?
  It's an ability that women really envy.

Getting back on the road, the two of them went down the mountain this time instead of going back the same way they came. Instead, they headed further east.

Following the map's guidance, the two walked for more than half a day before planning to arrive at the edge of a small town.

This place belongs to the territory of the Viper Kingdom. Although the town is not big, there are obviously a large number of their spies.

The two of them walked directly into the town in such a swagger, washed and ate at an inn, and soon attracted spies.

"Are they them? They are wearing masks, so you can't see their faces clearly."

"It's definitely true, a man and a woman. The woman has a good figure and must be beautiful. She has already reacted to the snake sniffer. They smell of snake powder."

"Okay, notify the superiors immediately and come here to intercept them."

Snakes will be punished.

The Snake Kingdom was still worried that Cao An and the others were hiding in Chiguang City and would not come out. They were trying to sneak into the city to assassinate them. Unexpectedly, these two people showed up on their own. How could they be polite?

As a prince of the Viper Kingdom, it was a great shame and humiliation to have his limbs chopped off and thrown out of the gate.

They came to Chi Guangguo to argue, but Chi Guang ignored them. Now that there was a chance for revenge, they took action without even thinking.

The news quickly spread back to the king's tent, and the king personally ordered to arrange for the national army to lead the team to avenge his youngest son.

For a time, a large number of masters poured into this place, vaguely surrounding Cao An and the others.

Perhaps Cao An also sensed the situation and pulled Ying Huorong towards the dock. Little did he know that this was what the vipers wanted to see most.

"Take the water route in front of our country of snakes? You really don't know whether to live or die. Keep a close eye and send some water snakes to bite their boats when they reach the mouth of the river."

The Imperial Master stood in the distance, looking at their backs with sadness.

The eyes like poisonous snakes have already stared at the two prey.

It’s a pity that we still don’t know who the prey is?

Ying Huorong looked at the small objects along the street and asked boredly: "There are many people staring around us. Do we need to deal with them?"

"No need, the time for our meeting is coming soon, just in time for all the old and new friends to gather together." Cao An didn't care about the people behind him at all, and went straight to the dock to look for the person to meet.

Master Chiguang told him that the boatman arranged this time must be someone who has experienced hundreds of battles and has outstanding abilities.

Cao An saw the person and felt that his words were true.

The cold wind was blowing on the river. Although there was no snow, the temperature definitely did not exceed 5 degrees.

That man was just shirtless, covered in tattoos, smiling and chatting with the people around him. He was indeed a ruthless person.

"Boatman, we hope to leave immediately."

When the young man saw the token handed over by Cao An, he knew that this was his guest and smiled confidently: "No problem, just call me husband. We will get on the boat and leave immediately. Those bugs behind will never catch up with us."

The two people jumped into the boat. The six-meter boat looked quite luxurious. The awning was fully equipped with tables and chairs. It was unknown what kind of technique could make the boat steady and imperceptible to the ripples of the water.

"Xiaohu, we need to go to the other side first. Don't leave those things behind too far. I want to play with them."

Hearing this, the husband also showed a bad smile: "To deal with those guys who are neither yin nor yang! Then I will be more energetic. Don't worry, our boat is neither fast nor slow."

Still shirtless, he lifted the long pole in his hand, and the husband's boat seemed to be moving sideways, passing through the densely packed fleet.

Such good boating skills surprised the Viper State Master on the shore. He quickly found a big boat and followed closely.

Along the way, the big boat rowed with all its strength, but it could only hang behind the clipper. Fortunately, the water snake at the bottom of the river was slowly approaching under the influence of the sound of the flute.

As long as there are enough, water snakes will bite through the bottom of the boat, then swarm up and strangle the enemy underwater.

But Cao An's road was not back to Daxing at all, but to the other side of the river.

He took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the young man. Such generosity made the young man stunned: "Master Chiguang has already sent someone to pay the deposit, you don't need to pay it."

"Take it and wait for us here for three days. If we don't come back, you can leave on your own." "Okay, then I wish you success!"

The young man glanced at the bottom of the lake. The energy flowing from the bamboo pole into the water was already felt by the dense water snakes approaching. These two people could attract so many people, so they should be considered heroes.

Cao An didn't explain much. He looked at the distance to the shore and took off with Qinggong. He walked through the water with Ying Huorong and landed directly on the shore, leaving the husband's boat floating quietly around the corner to wait.

"Stop, don't expose the water snake. Are those two people ashore? Where are they going?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid I discovered a water snake and went ashore to escape, right?"

"Hmph, did you run away? Let's go ashore and set up a snake array."

A group of people behind him came in hot pursuit, and Cao An acted as if he was completely unaware.

Still leisurely rushing to the meeting place with Ying Huorong.

Wearing masks, when we arrived at the gathering place, there were already many people gathered here.

There was a middle-aged scholar in the middle holding a book and registering. When he saw Cao An and the others approaching, his eyes showed a faint look of caution.

Looking around, most of the people here are the captains of the team. Everyone has met each other and is very familiar with each other. However, Cao An and the others suddenly came wearing masks. It was inevitable to be alert.

Fortunately, Cao An's acting skills were top-notch, and he had already drawn the token as soon as he walked over.

"Is this where rewards are given? I'm here to receive the rewards of Team 12 on behalf of my uncle."

"Uncle?" The other party glanced at the book, and now there was only one group left who had not come to collect it. He thought quickly and asked: "Oh, you are Baogen's nephew! Where are the others?"

"It's not Baogen, it's Genbao. You must have remembered it wrong. He was hit by an arrow in the knee and couldn't come back."

Cao An knew that the other party was testing him, but he didn't show any nervousness. Anyway, all twelve teams were destroyed by him, so he didn't worry about the noise of walking.

The password, token, and name all match. Could it be that he is really that person's nephew?

The scholar was worried and glanced at a companion next to him.

The other party understood, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "So you are Genbao's nephew! He and I are from the same hometown of Beiyan, and I have never heard him talk about you! Why are you here, still wearing a mask?"

Someone wanted to take off his mask.

"Don't come here to get close." Cao An irritably slapped his hand away and quickly ran through Genbao's message in his mind.

"My uncle is from Daxing. Who is from the same hometown as you? I'm wearing a mask to protect you from villains like you. Hey, do you want to pay me? If you don't pay me, I'll leave! This bird can't shit. This place, I really don’t want to stay here.”

If you have the right place of origin, there is no problem with being defensive. Many rangers don't like to show their true colors to others. Aren't there two of them wearing masks?

Well, it sounds right to complain. This Nan Chu is indeed disgusting. This one seems to have no problem!

The group of people were bewildered by Cao An's superb acting skills and gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Of course, maybe I just feel that there is no need to be defensive.

Because the only person who came here was a scholar, and he was given money to do something, so the impersonation would only cost him 100 taels, so it was harmless.

The scholar said nothing more and handed over the money, planning to send someone to Chiguang City to see the specific situation later.

Cao An, on the other hand, was very straightforward. After getting the money, he turned around and left without dragging him away from the water.

The group of people left behind were still mocking Genbao for being so weak that he would be shot in the knee. The laughter could be heard from far away.

But there was no problem when Cao An came, but when he returned, the problem became bigger because a group of people were following him ashore.

[Six distinct senses] is activated, and the sounds of a large number of poisonous snakes spitting messages are instantly heard in the ears.

In the woods nearby?

Cao An's eyes flashed with amusement, and he suddenly accelerated and rushed over, and looked into each other's eyes with the national master of the Viper Kingdom who was preparing for a sneak attack.

The national master was shocked and just drew his weapon and wanted to fight.

But they found that Cao An had already run away. As he ran, he was cursing: "Asshole! You actually found someone to ambush me!"

The captains who were still in the gathering place, preparing to exchange some information with each other, suddenly heard Cao An coming back cursing, and then saw a group of pursuers behind him, and they quickly drew their weapons.

The responsible scholar shouted at Cao An: "You actually put people..."

"You actually asked someone to ambush me! You bastard, you didn't want to kill someone and silence me! At worst, I'll give you this hundred taels, I don't want it anymore."

Cao An's attack didn't give him any chance to speak, and all his money fell to the ground.

The scholar was stunned. His angry look didn't seem to be fake. He even rushed forward to kill two people immediately, killing two people in a row. Did he blame him wrongly?
  The scholar couldn't understand the situation, and the national master of the Viper Kingdom across from him couldn't understand it even more.

Seeing this group of sneaky transactions on the shore, I guessed that they must have caught Cao An's accomplices, so I waved my hand.

"Release the poisonous snakes and kill all these people."

"Damn it, it's the army of the Viper Kingdom, responding to the enemy."

A big battle started inexplicably on both sides.
