After hearing Dong Wan'er's words, me and Hua'zi couldn't help but widen our eyes. On the other hand, Dazhi put on a proud expression.

In Dong Wan'er's words, that kind of Arrow Snake wasn't a natural product, but was specially made by the Western Xia in the past to defend the border.

It was said that there were only two of them, one male and one female, with extremely large bodies. This, however, is consistent with the large green snake we have just seen.

However, what Dong Wan'er said next completely upended my understanding of snakes.

According to her, the snake laid thousands of eggs every year when it reached the breeding season. At that time, this kind of strange snake could be seen everywhere in the Western Xia. Moreover, this kind of strange snake could distinguish the Qi in the blood of Western Xia people and outsiders, and could also attack outsiders when they had ill intentions towards the Western Xia people.

Back then, when Tie Muzhen had sent troops to the Western Xia Army, he had encountered an ambush from this kind of thing midway without even seeing a single person. Although in the end Western Xia was still destroyed by the troops of Tie Muzhen, but he was also left in the Western Xia forever.

”This is indeed somewhat similar to what is recorded in the historical records. According to legend, in the past, Tie Muzhen had indeed been shot and injured on the way to Western Xia, and in the end, after attacking Western Xia's Wang Ting, he had indeed died in Western Xia. ”What, you guys understand this piece of history so well, could it be that you came this time for …”

Before I could finish, Dong Wan'er nodded her head in acknowledgment and then turned her gaze towards me.

She had an inquiring look in her eyes, and I naturally knew what she was thinking about. Thus, I simply threw a log into the fire and said, ”You said before that as long as we can find that tree, we will be able to find what you want. At that time, if we use that thing to force the person behind the scenes to reveal us, we will be able to take the risk once and for all.”

After I finished speaking, I could clearly see a hint of joy in Dong Wan'er's eyes. However, her complexion somehow paled as compared to yesterday.

Was it because he didn't put on any makeup? Was it because that slash had consumed too much of his strength?

Although I had some doubts in my heart, I didn't put them to heart. After all, after stabbing that giant snake just now, she was still so lively!

However, after warming up his body, a new problem arose.

Although the river is not wide, it is at least five to six meters away. Even a large snake would be sucked dry in an instant. I don't think that we can safely reach the other side before we become desiccated corpses.

However, just as I was looking at that river, not knowing what to do, the large board suddenly approached me.

”Brother Zhou, I seem to have smelled the scent of a stranger, and this smell is a bit familiar.”

When Dazhi said this, Hua Zi immediately pricked up his ears and looked in the direction that we came from, as if he had also heard something.

”Maybe Xu Man also followed us when he saw the smoke we created.”

However, just as I finished speaking, I saw the figure that appeared from the forest. Although it was familiar, it wasn't Xu Man! It wasn't until the man approached that I saw that it was the one who had come back from the sea with us.

Why would he come here? Did the old monk ask him to come? But why didn't the old monk ask him to come directly with us but instead came to find us after we left?

After seeing my doubtful expression, Foolish Man didn't mind. Instead, he laughed loudly and walked towards us. ”Aiya!” What a coincidence! I never thought that I would meet you guys in this kind of place! ”
