Chapter 54 (1/2)
Chapter 54 Stormy Night
At Wu Wenxiang’s instructions, Chen Jinyong drove Qin Lang to the base of the Clear Sky hill.
Right now, it was already nine at night.
Clear Sky hill was originally a desolate hill; there were very few people who came to take a stroll at this place during daytime, let alone at night when not even a ghost shadow existed.
The moon was hanging brightly above in the sky, but the lush trees and cl.u.s.ters of weeds on the Clear Sky hill appeared to be ever more eerie, even the night wind gave people an icy bone-chilling sensation
Insects’ cries were echoing throughout the hill.
A formless pressure was present everywhere, as if the dangers were lurking all around.
Qin Lang went along the hilly road, and walked to the top of the Clear Sky hill with large strides.
His pace was steady, despite knowing that An Desheng had already set up a trap.
Qin Lang had thought he could force An Desheng to negotiate and give in, with the evidence in his hands, but he hadn’t expected this old guy could be so patient and also was in control of a portion of the police force of Xiayang city. He even forced Qin Lang to come here, on the contrary, it could even be said he was superior in stratagem.
Merely, An Desheng thought he had already prepared everything at the Clear Sky hill to make this place the burial ground for Qin Lang, but he could have never expected that at this Clear Sky hill, Qin Lang possessed ‘home ground superiority’, because how could there only be few snakes at this desolate hill?
Hence, Qin Lang simply didn’t need to carefully check where those police sc.u.ms were hiding, as his ‘friends’ would find each and every one of these sc.u.ms.
At Qin Lang’s low-pitched whistle, the originally quiet Clear Sky hill was suddenly ‘bustling’; from within the cl.u.s.ters of gra.s.ses and trees came xi~xi~suo~suo, bone chilling sounds, almost all the poisonous creatures of the whole Clear Sky hill had come out of their caves.
There was a common saying ‘Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot; five poisons wake up, there is no peace’; around the Dragon Boat Festival, all kinds of poisonous creatures would frequently move about, but Xiayang city’s weather was sizzling hot, so the poisonous creatures had started their movement early, thus at Qin Lang’s deliberate urge, not only the poisonous creatures of the whole Clear Sky hill started gathering towards the hilltop, even the ones from nearby hills also started rus.h.i.+ng over ‘to join in the fun’.
In no time, snakes and other beasts formed a ‘flood’ all around Qin Lang, and this ‘poisonous creatures’ flood’ was continuously moving towards the hilltop, unrestrained; giving off an extremely horrifying feeling to people.
However, Qin Lang didn’t have the slightest fear, because these poisonous creatures simply didn’t dare to approach him, they could only follow his commands.
“Ahh!”
Right at this time, a scream echoed from halfway up the hill, a dark silhouette was forced to jump down from a tree due to the snakes, after which this dark silhouette was quickly drowned under the flood of the snakes. This guy had thought of shooting while hiding on the tree, but he simply couldn’t conceal himself from these snakes’ perception, and under the distraction due to the snake, he rashly jumped from the tree, the aftermath was obvious.
Within another two minutes, gunshots echoed out. Someone was clearly so frightened that he was using guns to shoot the snakes. But right now, more than hundred thousands of snakes had rushed forth to the hill, even if this guy used up all the bullets, he could only kill few snakes and those gunshots stimulated these snakes’ vicious character, on the contrary. And the guy was quickly bitten to half-death state.
Soon after, a blood curdling scream echoed again; this time, the guy who was attacked by the snakes was very valiant, he killed several large snakes using a military dagger, but his fierceness was only short lived.
Qin Lang continued to move forward, then he heard a ‘rustling’ sound beside him ——
This was a sound of a large snake moving!
Qin Lang glanced and couldn’t help exclaiming ‘good heavens!’, the creature that was inclining towards him was a python which was at least seven-eight meter long and sixty-seventy kilo; its color pattern was whitish with brown blotches, Qin Lang looked at it and knew this ought to be an asian rock python, apparently it was also attracted by snakes commotion pill’s scent. Qin Lang held out a hand and patted this rock python’s head, the rock python quickly slowed its speed and followed Qin Lang from behind, maintaining the same pace as Qin Lang’s.
In the next several minutes, two concealed shooters also suffered calamities.
