Becoming A Dragon In A Martial Arts World

  Chapter 39 Mysterious Traces

   "Hoo~"

   "Old, old! It's really useless, the old woman can't even beat a rookie."

  As soon as Zhang Bold left, he saw the old woman sighing to herself as if discouraged, and at the same time, she kept looking at the young man who had fought side by side from the corner of her eye.

   Zhou Zhen, who watched Zhang Boldly leave, turned around and smiled, and said gently: "What did the snake woman say? If it weren't for Zhang Boldly swallowing the martial stone, how could I fight you?"

   Speaking of this, he changed his voice, "Grandma, I have heard that you have raised many strange and mysterious little guys. I wonder if you have any clue about this guy who stole the ice silkworm?"

   "Hahaha, your little friend has such a sweet mouth, he doesn't look like those rigid and merciless demon slayers. This is indeed true, and let me take a good look at it, old lady."

   "To be honest, I'm also a little curious, old lady, who is actually able to steal the ice silkworms under our noses."

  Speaking of which, Snake Lady changed her previous kind face and became a little fierce.

   Also, after all. How many of them are really kind to be able to hang out in this rivers and lakes?

  She took a few steps forward to where the mouse was before, and then lowered her body to observe carefully.

   As soon as I touched my finger, I rolled up some dust and rubbed it, then put it to my nose and sniffed it, frowning thoughtfully, and muttering to myself:

   "What is this flavor?"

   As she spoke, she suddenly put the dust in her mouth and tasted it, and then her face became ugly.

   "Urine? Rat urine!"

   "No, no, this trace belongs to that mouse."

  Beside Zhou Zhen, watching the series of behaviors of the snake woman is also a little strange. Are these snake and poison doctors all so perverted?

   It didn't take long to see the snake lady shifting her position and came to a lying mark.

"This is?"

"what is this?"

  Zhou Zhen also squatted down next to her, and asked the snake lady curiously.

  Because the lying mark is a bit too obvious in this position.

  The snake woman ignored Zhou Zhen, she stretched out her hand and stroked gently across the lying mark, as if stroking a lover's fingers.

  Of course, if someone can zoom in on her fingertips at this moment, they will be able to see some strange little creatures.

  Following her stroking, when she suddenly drew a tiny scratch, her fingers suddenly paused slightly, and then returned to normal.

   During the whole process, her expression was also changing. Finally, she quickly glanced at Zhou Zhen from the corner of her eye, and slowly uttered a word:

"snake!"

   "Snake?" Zhou was shocked, a little unbelievable, "Impossible? How could a snake appear here and eat the mouse and the wooden box?"

  How could the snake lady glared at him, "Are you questioning my old woman's years of experience? I have been playing with snakes for so many years, but I still don't know if it is a snake or not?"

   "If there is no accident, it should be a ten thousand snake. Now that the spring sun has arrived, this ten thousand snake should have just woken up to hunt, and just happened to encounter it and ate it."

"yes?"

  Zhou Zhen glanced suspiciously at the snake woman and replied, he faintly sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where it was, after all, he didn't know much about snakes.

   "Since that's the case, let's leave here and find our own."

  Speaking of this, the snake woman stood up again, and left as if nothing had happened.

  But at this moment, there was a wave of hesitation in her heart, and a hint of joy that she couldn't explain clearly.

   Is it really just a snake?

  Zhou Zhen hugged his chest and held his chin, staring at the snake woman who was fading away, and said something to himself.

  …

  At night, the bright moonlight shines on the woods like water. Now the bustling scene of the day has long gone, leaving only a mess in the forest.

  However, at this time, a figure appeared, a figure that should have left.

   Snake!

  It turned out that the snake lady hadn't left, she just pretended to leave and tried to deceive Zhou Zhen.

  At this time, she seemed to have seen Zhou Zhen leave, so she came back leisurely.

  As for why she came back, I have to mention what she discovered today.

  She is still vaguely recalling the scratch at noon today.

  Is the trace today really a snake? Ten Thousand Snakes?

  Yes and no.

  Faced with Zhou Zhen’s question at that time, Snake Lady answered honestly, without any deceit, but she didn’t say one thing, she didn’t tell all the findings.

  There are indeed snake-like traces there, which is true, but why is there a sharp scratch in the traces?

  Although she had no time to think about it because of the urgent time.

   But with her years of research on snakes.

  She found that the position of the scratch was indeed on the body of the unknown "snake" according to the position at that time, rather than being scratched by an eagle that accidentally landed.

  So she subconsciously concealed it.

   After all, the two are not related, so she doesn't need to tell him completely.

  Then she forcibly suppressed the curiosity in her heart, pretended to leave, and waited until Zhou Zhen had almost left before coming back to check again.

   While thinking about it, the snake lady came to this trace again.

   She was relieved when she saw that the traces were still there. Fortunately, the traces were not destroyed.

  After all, during this period of time, she has thought about the traces at the beginning several times, and finally she inexplicably found that the traces looked a bit like jade claws.

  Snake body lying marks, and jade claws...

  Plus her baby's inexplicable anxiety today.

  Is this the trace of an earth dragon?

   No, no, the scratches of the earth dragon cannot be so sharp.

  And her baby can't be uneasy in the face of the earth dragon, only the higher level of the same kind or facing the natural enemy will feel so uneasy.

  But her baby has been cultivated for so many years, and ordinary snakes are no match for it.

So…

   She had a premonition in her heart, and she couldn't wait any longer. She just knelt down and began to observe carefully.

  Because she left once, she made all the preparations during this time.

  That's why I saw countless densely packed worms crawling down from her body, following the scent guided by her and covering them one after another, they were painted on the ground like ink in a short while.

   Then, a mysterious creature with long claws formed on the ground.

  The moment she saw this trace appear, the snake woman's eyes widened for a moment, her expression froze and she couldn't believe her eyes.

  This, this, this trace is...

  Suddenly, Snake Woman's heart beat "plopppppp" rapidly, because this meant that her guess might be right!

   Subconsciously, she looked around suspiciously, even though there should be no one around at the moment, and then decisively waved away these little bugs

   No, not so decisively.

  The snake woman shook her head resolutely, thinking of how much manpower and material resources that great court has spent since its founding, and it has taken nearly a thousand years.

  I have never found such a mysterious and powerful creature, how could it be so easy for her to meet it now.

  She still needs to carefully look around for other traces.

  Thinking of this, she drove the little bugs to remember the smell, and began to search slowly.

  However, she did not realize the existence of another person in the darkness...

   "Wan Snake", another elegant name for King Cobra, "Wan Snake", means "King of Snakes".
