Chapter 553.

Ah Mei looked at the Transdemon Underworld King, her face filled with dismay.

She knew that this old man was an expert, but the one he had mistakenly killed was the Gothic Clan Chief.

Although it was said that Nandu was already old, and he still had to consume his heart and soul to feed the Snake King every month.

However, his martial arts were still unfathomable.

A Mei asked herself that if she were to face Nanto on her own, she would surely die.

And she was killed by this old man?

She counted with her fingers:

“Yes, today is the day when Nantuo feeds the Snake King …… You should have taken advantage of his heart and blood depletion, his internal strength is not good, and that’s how you picked up a bargain …… right?”

“That doesn’t matter.”

The Transdemon Underworld King didn’t care what he did or what he killed.

Anyway, he was just following Jiang Ran’s orders to go to the Gothic Clan and make a big mess.

Who would have thought that after all the other experts had been given a beating and accidentally killed one person, the result was that this snake rushed out like crazy, wanting to make things difficult for himself.

“Your Holiness …… face this beast, do you have any methods?”

The Demon Ferry Underworld King looked at Jiang Ran pleadingly.

Jiang Ran smacked his lips:

“There is a way, it’s just a feeling, it’s a bit of a pity ……”

What’s so unfortunate about that?

A Mei had already wanted to lead a temporary evacuation from here now.

Each of the hundred clans actually had their own offerings.

The Gothic Clan enshrined the Snake King, and the Yao Clan also had the Scorpion King.

However, the refining method was different, and the counterparts were not the same.

The Snake King grew in size and strength, was invulnerable to swords and spears, and was covered in poison.

But the Scorpion King is very small.

The size of a baby’s fist, a hard shell indestructible, extremely fast, like lightning, a needle behind the tail can kill the world.

Nai Mei’s mother once had a great battle with Nanto.

The Scorpion King suffered a serious injury and has not recovered until today.

It was also placed in the Yao Clan’s holy land and immersed in medicinal liquid to recuperate.

It was also because of that great battle that led to the death of A Mei’s mother, and she had to take on the heavy responsibility of the clan leader in advance.

Now that the Snake King had arrived, but the Scorpion King was unavailable, and if she didn’t run, I was afraid that the Yao Clan would be in danger of extinction today.

Under this kind of critical juncture, what did this person still say about pity?

Then she heard Tang Yuyi say with a smile:

“Want me to try first?”

“It can work?”

Jiang Ran’s eyes lit up.

“I don’t know ah ……”

Tang Wuyi glanced at the snake king that slowly swam in, as if it had already forced its prey to the end of its rope, and there was starlight turning in her eyes.

“Stand still.”

The voice came out, and the Snake King’s massive size suddenly stopped on the spot.

“It’s done?”

Jiang Ran was a little excited.

Seeing such a large animal, Jiang Ran’s first reaction would naturally not be fear, but rather wanting to take it in.

It was like the small white snake he had up his sleeve today.

Although it was rather restless after seeing the snake king.

But this would have calmed down as well.

If this big white snake is also taken down ……

Just as Jiang Ran was thinking this, this snake seemed to be enraged.

The body shape was like a white blistering wind, whistling, wrapped in a gust of fishy wind, causing the Yao tribe people to each lose their colors in horror.

“Not good …… Let’s go!!!”

A Mei exclaimed.

However, Jiang Ran didn’t just not leave, but instead took a step forward.

Tang Yuyi skimmed her lips:

“A beast without a spirit is just a big pile of meat.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“Since this is the case …… then beheading it is.”

The toes of his feet took a step forward, and the bleak cold air suddenly spread forward in an arc from his toes.

The wind is a sword, the ice is also a sword.

Since this piercing coldness arrived in front of the time, this snake has been a little muddled.

When that cold wind swept …… it was completely quiet.

The Yao tribe up and down are all full of confusion.

A foot stepped out of the ground full of ice, this is a human can do things?

But this wind sweep, why this snake also did not move?

While looking at each other in dismay, they saw the snake suddenly split into two, and blood rushed up to the sky and flowed, drenching the earth.

This snake is poisonous, highly poisonous!

Even its blood is poisonous, falling on the surrounding weeds, those weeds will be blackened and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually curled up and dissipated.

Only then did the huge snake corpse fall towards the sides.

The roaring sound, drew Yao clan people each color change.

Dead!

This Snake King, unexpectedly died just like that?

How could he die for no reason?

A Mei couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ran, at this moment she felt that what she was seeing was not a human being, but a ghost or a god in front of her.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, frowned slightly:

“The …… transferred out of its stomach is a human being.”

That was the mutilated corpse, the face had long been destroyed by the stomach acid indistinguishable.

There were no more features to be seen on the clothing either.

It should be a person who just finished eating today.

A Mei couldn’t be bothered to be shocked at the exaggeration of Jiang Ran’s blow, and after seeing the corpse, she said softly:

“The Snake King needs to eat thirty-six people a year.

“These thirty-six people were either taken from our clan.

“Or from other ways to get …… for example, rashly set foot in the hundred thousand mountains outside the mountain people.

“These people, under the Snake King’s intimidation, will occasionally help the Gothic Clan.”

“I see.”

That was pretty much the end of the conversation.

Jiang Ran nodded:

“Miss A Mei, what you want this honored one to do for you, this honored one has already done.

“When will you lead the way for this honored one?”

“We will leave first thing tomorrow morning, this trip is not only to lead the way for you, but likewise to travel to the Hundred Clans Assembly.”

Ah Mei said:

“With five days of light, you should be able to arrive.”

“Good.”

Jiang Ran nodded and looked at the corpse of the snake king again:

“This snake, what are you going to do with it?”

“Strip the skin and extract the bones, take what can be used, and the rest …… either dig a pit and bury it deep, or, let’s put it to the torch.”

A Mei realized that she could be said to be answering questions to Jiang Ran now.

Even if she didn’t want to admit it anymore, she knew that Jiang Ran’s strike just now had scared her.

It was surprising that someone from outside the mountain had such martial arts skills!

What kind of world was this outside the mountains?

Jiang Ran stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully:

“In that case, I won’t bother Miss A Mei, let’s go back and rest first.”

“Good, I’ll find someone to escort you.”

Ah Mei ordered two female guards to lead Jiang Ran and the others to the guest room.

Jiang Ran also didn’t continue to waste any words, telling them to be careful of this snake venom cloud …… are dealing with poison, who could not be clear about it?

Why bother to talk too much yourself?

This is another calm night ……

Not calm all can not.

The only opponent of the Yao Clan is the Gothic Clan.

Gothic clan yesterday, but all can fight, all by the Demon King of the Underworld to beat down.

If they are injured, they won’t be able to get up without a few months of work.

With the death of Nanda, the Gothic Clan is leaderless.

Moreover, even the Snake King, who had been worshipped for generations, had been decapitated by Jiang Ran.

This had put A Mei in a trance, and her fear of Jiang Ran had increased greatly.

This good looking man was a monster that was terrifying to the extreme ……

His appearance made Ah Mei feel that the Snake King that the Gothic Clan had fed with their heart’s blood for generations, as well as this kind of move, was a joke.

In front of this kind of person, it was all meaningless.

As for the Gothic Clan facing this situation, even if they knew that the problem was with the Yao Clan, they were really powerless to fight against it.

No matter how much it hurt, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Of course, this was not the end.

After ordering people to deal with that snake, Ah Mei went to see Ah Ying again.

And that night, she released Ah Ying back.

Nantuo had two descendants, a son and a daughter.

Now that Nantuo was dead, then the son would have to inherit the patriarch position.

But the problem was, Ah Mei knew Nanda’s son, he was headless, tyrannical, and suspicious.

It would be a disaster for the Gothic Clan if this kind of person became the clan leader.

At this time, A Ying was released by A Mei, and was bound to be scorned by him.

This brother and sister will have a battle, the victory or defeat is hard to predict, but about a short time, is not going to come back to Yao clan wantonly.

……

……

Under the bright and dim light, A Mei sat there and told the old woman about her calculations one by one.

The old man was sewing something with a needle and thread, one stitch at a time with great care, while also nodding softly and sighing softly:

“Ah Mei, nowadays, your heart and means are already very good.

“In the future, the Yao Clan will be entrusted to you.”

If it was in the past, upon hearing these words, Ah Mei would definitely be elated.

But today, she sighed with some disinterest.

“What’s wrong?”

Grandma looked at her:

“Upset?”

“Not unhappy, just …… struck a blow.”

A Mei said softly:

“You said that we have done everything we can to survive.

“In the face of Nandu, we can still defend ourselves through other means, but if we face those few people from outside the mountain, how can we guarantee that we can be invincible?”

Granny was silent for a moment, then shook her head:

“This is not something we should think about ……”

“Why?”

A Mei looked at the old man in disbelief.

Granny took A Mei’s hand and patted it gently:

“We are at different heights and face different friends and opponents.

“The feud between our Yao Clan and the Gotham Clan over the years is like a joke in front of the eyes of those true masters.

“A farce that can end at any time.

“Just as, we see the children in the Walled City playing around today.

“As children we need not worry that adults will bully us.

“but it was impossible to resist their control.

“As if now, because of the words of the flute tribe, the hundred tribes will gather in the flute tribe, to open that hundred tribes conference.

“And who can say no?

“An existence like ours would not be a match for them.

“For them, we just have to go along.”

“But …… wouldn’t that be going against the grain?”

“How can everything in this world be smooth? Even if it’s the old patriarch of the Flute Clan, can everything go smoothly?

“I’ve heard that even the Nine to Five outside the mountains have powers beyond their reach,” he said.

“Not to mention us?”

As Granny’s words came to this point, she looked at A Mei, who was still worried, and smiled:

“You, you’ve been hard-natured since you were a child.

“I told your mother that it’s not good to be too stubborn.

“But your mother told me …… that if obstinacy is in the right direction, it’s not obstinacy, it’s effort.

“If you want everything to go your way and go the way you want it to go, then you have to work hard on your cultivation.

“Your martial arts will get better and better, your means will get stronger and stronger, and your tribe will thrive.

“One day, it may not be impossible to stand at the same height as them ……

“What’s more, at that time, you may not be unable to make them bow down in front of you.

“A Mei …… This is a direction, as for how far you can go, it only lies in you.”

Ah Mei’s eyes gradually flashed with luster, and finally nodded fiercely:

“Grandma, I understand.”

After saying that, she stood up and saluted to take her leave.

She still had to leave early tomorrow morning, so she naturally couldn’t continue wasting her time here.

Granny gazed at her back, smiling lightly and shaking her head for a long time.

……

……

Ah Mei is the kind of nature that says one thing but not another.

The Yao clan leader, naturally must have such a bearing.

So she said that she would leave on the day, and this early in the morning, Jiang Ran and the others had already followed her on the road.

Hundred thousand mountains, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, naturally there is no livestock as mounts.

Ah Mei found a few good hands, no doubt, all women ……

The group then traveled light and simple, leaving the Yao Clan and rushing in the direction of the Flute Clan.

Perhaps because of the aftermath of Jiang Ran’s snake chopping yesterday, these girls, who were used to looking down on men, were polite to Jiang Ran.

Only no one dared to talk to Jiang Ran.

Even Mei didn’t dare to speak to him easily.

Jiang Ran is happy to be idle about this, and he is not without someone to talk to, Poetic, Frightening Frost and Snow Princess …… a few people muttered idly.

The foot of the mountain road is certainly rugged and difficult to walk, but it is not difficult for them.

It was the Rapunzel who would feel a bit embarrassed some times.

But whenever it came to this kind of time, Jiang Ran would take her hand and lead her.

There were naturally dangers in the mountains, but for everyone present, these dangers were either predictable and avoidable, or not taken seriously at all.

Therefore, after three days of traveling this way, it was always peaceful.

At the same time, Jiang Ran also knew one thing.

When walking in these mountains, if you can’t afford an open fire, don’t start one if possible.

The firelight was too conspicuous, and in the middle of this forest, it could be spotted from afar.

If these people have malicious intentions, sneak close and use poison …… from afar then they will somehow get caught.

At that time, when Jiang Ran and the others started a fire in the mountains to cook food, they were discovered by the people of the Yao tribe in this way.

A Mei and others were using scorpions to cast poison at that time.

This poison is the Yao tribe’s secret preparation, colorless and tasteless, but after taking it, it can make people unconscious.

No matter what kind of supreme master you were, you were treated equally.

It was just that Jiang Ran had prepared for it, and after an antidote pill was taken, the toxicity was reduced by 70%.

The remaining 30% couldn’t help them.

The only unlucky person who didn’t have the antidote is the King of the Dodo Demons, and that’s why he got hit.

Do not open fire is only the first rule in the mountain, in addition to the fear of being discovered, is also worried about the mountain fire …… 100,000 mountains rolling, forest rush, if a fire burns words, this mountain do not know how many living beings have to die.

In addition, sleep as much as possible not on the ground.

Hundred thousand big mountain forest deep wood, sky-high trees cover the sun, the ground is damp and there are rotting leaves accumulation, is many poisonous insects paradise.

Resting on the ground, even if you have the means to do so, you will inevitably be missed by some strange and unusual bugs.

This random bite, it is possible to never wake up again.

Therefore, when sleeping, or as high as possible to go.

In the tree to do the trick, and then use the powder to repel the body.

Although not perfect, but also the safest practice.

And finally …… the most important key is that if you meet someone, the other party has not found your case, as far as possible do not show up.

Unless sure that the other party is a friend, or an enemy.

Hundred thousand big mountain hundred tribes, but not how close to each other.

There are too many snakes, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, encountering people, killing and robbing people, killing and robbing people, and ultimately being corpses being gnawed by wild beasts and poisonous insects mutilating their bodies …… even if they are found by their friends and relatives, they don’t know exactly what kind of people are poisoning them.

In the end, it can only be unsettled.

Therefore, every time you meet with strangers, you have to be prepared to share life and death.

This was the law of the mountains of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

A Mei would occasionally talk to Jiang Ran about these things along the way, but didn’t care too much.

After all, in her opinion, Jiang Ran not looking for trouble from others was something that others had burned incense for eight lifetimes in exchange for.

If someone really dared to rob money and sex from Jiang Ran and the others, that would be asking for death.

On this night, the starlight was covered by the canopy of the tree, and it was pitch black.

On top of a huge ancient tree, a group of people were scattered between the branches of various trees to rest.

Suddenly Jiang Ran opened his eyes, and saw A Mei sitting on another tree branch with her knees crossed.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Ran’s movement, she turned back to look at Jiang Ran and bit her lip before turning her head back:

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Someone is coming.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“Since yesterday, there seems to be more and more people in this forest …… isn’t it because it has gradually gotten closer to where the Flute Clan is?”

“Hmm.”

A Mei nodded:

“The Hundred Clans Assembly is about to begin, and the Hundred Clans will naturally gather at the Flute Clan.

“What do you …… you few …… plan to do then?

“Is it to directly fight in?”

“It doesn’t have to be that violent.”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“Just blend in. …… Miss A Mei, why don’t you look at me when you speak?

“Just now I wanted to ask, what do you mean by looking at me and twisting your head away?

“Is it because this honored one is unpleasant to look at?”

“……”

Ah Mei was speechless for a while, this stinky man has such a face that attracts bees and butterflies, how can people keep looking at him?

She glanced back at him:

“Is this how you talk to other people on a regular basis?”

“Huh?”

Jiang Ran felt that these words seemed a bit strange, but for a moment he couldn’t tell what was strange about them……

In the midst of uncertainty, he heard A Mei hum:

“Watery woman.”

“I …… ah? Water sex poplar?”

Jiang Ran’s jaw dropped and pointed to his face.

Just then, he heard the sound of suppressed laughter coming from his side.

When he looked down, it was none other than Tang Yuyi who was reading about herself.

He couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her face:

“What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at you being a watery woman ……”

Tang Yuyi was poked and prodded by him, so she stopped sneering and simply laughed openly.

Jiang Ran was speechless at the moment, a miserable scream rang out, breaking the silence in this forest.
