Volume 8 Chapter 39 Snake Sound
Hearing the snake speak, I was stunned for a moment, then I was stunned, I could hardly believe my ears, and I was stunned.
How is this possible?
I had long been prepared for the evil nature of the crested snake, but no matter how smart they are, they can’t possibly speak human language. At that time, the words were so clear that I definitely couldn’t have heard them wrong.
I immediately felt that I must have heard it in a dream. This was absolutely impossible. Obviously, my nerves were too tense and I was confused. I gritted my teeth and continued to dive down.
The snake looked down at me, watching me sink, and suddenly twisted its neck, as if sizing me up, then suddenly leaned down and hung in front of me. The crest on its head shook, and it let out a voice: “Little Master?”
This time it was even clearer, and the movement was so much like a person talking to me that my cold sweat kept coming out. I dared not move for a moment, thinking to myself, “Damn it, I really ran into a snake spirit this time.
My mind was in a complete state of confusion. My thoughts were racing. Was this a divine snake? A snake that had passed the sixth level of human speech and graduated from graduate school? Could this cock-crown snake really have human qualities, or was it simply a snake that had already developed a mind?
In that instant, I suddenly remembered that we were now in the realm of the Queen Mother of the West. Damn, this was the fairyland in ancient times… it’s not surprising that snakes can talk.
The snake looked at me and saw my expression change. It was probably very interested, too, and turned its head again, shaking its crest.
I was prepared for this, so I heard it more clearly than the first two times. As soon as I heard it, I suddenly realized that something was wrong. Huh? Why does this snake speak with a Changsha accent?
Could it be that this is a crested snake from Changsha, who has come to the land of the Queen Mother of the West to support the construction of the west?
At that moment, a very absurd thought flashed through my mind, and I suddenly wanted to ask it, “Are you sent by Hunan Satellite TV?” But then a flash of inspiration came to my mind, and I broke into a cold sweat. Gradually, I realized what was going on.
If this snake really had supernatural intelligence, then it would have spoken the language of the Xiwangmu Kingdom at the time, but this snake is now speaking Mandarin, and it has a Changsha accent. This is obviously very unusual. Mandarin was only promoted in the 1950s, and Changsha-style Mandarin is used by people born in the 1970s. This is completely modern. Even if this snake has superhuman intelligence, it shouldn’t speak with this accent.
There is only one possibility. If it is not “speaking,” then it must be “learning to speak.” This snake is actually learning to speak like a parrot!
I immediately calmed down. This must be the case. Imagine the sounds you heard all the way, all just calling “Little Master?” There was no second sentence, and even the tone was the same. Obviously, this was not a conscious act. This Changsha accent is Pan Zi’s accent, and Pan Zi likes to call me “Xiaosan Ye” and “Xiaosan Ye” the most. This snake must have been following us, so it learned to speak.
However, it is strange that a parrot learns to speak, but a snake learns to speak like us. This is obviously not just for fun. It must have a reason for learning this sound.
Thinking of this, I broke into a cold sweat, and thought of the rattlesnake. This snake attracts its prey by imitating the sound of water. Is the snake talking for the same purpose?
I thought, “Damn it, I’m not attracting it to me. Damn it, I’ve actually fallen for the snake’s trick this time.
The snake looked at me, and the blood-red triangular snake head was almost a palm’s distance from my nose. I could almost smell the spicy fishy smell on it. These thoughts flashed through my mind, and I couldn’t think anymore. I thought to myself, no matter what, there was still a poisonous snake in front of me.
I slowly leaned back, trying to get as far away as possible, at least far enough to have a chance to avoid its attack, and then try to sneak into the water.
However, as soon as I moved, the snake moved closer again, staring at me with its eyes, as if it knew my intentions. I backed up a few times, and it moved closer, but it didn’t attack me. It just kept a distance of a palm’s width from me, and the low-hanging snake head made me stiff and afraid to make any big movements.
I felt very strange. It seemed to want to control me, but this behavior itself was very strange. Because snakes are reptiles, all their behavior should be a conditioned reflex. It made no sense for it to do this. What did it want?
Just when I was wondering and at a loss, suddenly I felt something touch my ankle. It seemed like something had come up from the bottom of the water.
