Chapter 13 The Monsters of the Village

Legend has it that Jiaolongtan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the lake water seems to originate from underground, resulting in the entire lake surface being in a depression.

In addition, the lake is blocked by the mountains, so it is rarely seen by the sun, and the water is cold and unfathomable.

In the past, some rock climbing enthusiasts would go to this undeveloped mountain to challenge themselves, but one of them accidentally fell into the pool.

The rescue team tried to go into the lake to retrieve the people, but everyone who touched the water became too cold to move.

The family paid nearby villagers to send bamboo rafts to retrieve the body, but after three days of searching, they couldn't find a single fish or any other living creature, let alone a body, or even a single water plant.

Later it was left unresolved.

But since then, no one has bothered to come here to climb the mountain anymore.

Ten years ago, after the demon-slaying operation ended, Mount Sanqing was searched thoroughly, even the Flood Dragon Pool was not spared. If people couldn't get down, they'd just throw bombs at them.

After frying the fryer several times, a few snakes were caught, but they were all very ordinary small snakes and obviously not a threat.

Shen Xiu and the others assumed that the black snake demon with scales on its head had probably escaped from Sanqing Mountain.

But no one expected that it didn't go anywhere, but instead hid at the bottom of the pool to recover from its injuries.

Now, ten years later, the deep, bone-revealing wound on the black snake's face has long since scabbed over, leaving a strange, curved scar on its human-like snake face.

The black snake opened its single eye and gazed intently at the crack between the two mountains.

The wind whistles, and the lake water gurgles.

That is the only connection point between the entire Jiaolongtan and the outside world. Without the sound from there, the entire Jiaolongtan would be like a silent graveyard, without any movement.

At that moment, a snake's head was stuck in the crack.

A blue snake head with its eyes still open.

With a whoosh, the black snake's tail swayed at the bottom of the pool and reached for the green snake's head, carefully pulling it out of the crack and coiling it in front of itself.

The black snake looked down at it, a trace of sorrow welling up in its green eyes.

When this child came into this world, it was just an egg. After being injured, it hatched at the bottom of the pool. Two months ago, it said it was going out to find food, and then it never came back. I never expected this.
who is it?

The black snake raised its tail high, furiously lashing the lake surface.

It came into this world feeling incredibly wronged, and was then crushed by a group of ordinary people. Now, it has even killed all of its children!
It could no longer tolerate this; it wanted revenge for its children, and it wanted to tear all the humans who killed it to pieces!
The once tranquil lake suddenly surged with a huge wave, pounding against the surrounding mountains with a thunderous roar that echoed through the valleys.

"Hmm? Did you hear anything?" The soldier stationed at the foot of the mountain turned to ask his comrade.

The other person listened intently for a while, then shook their head, "No, there's nothing there."

The soldier who had just asked the question listened attentively again, and it seemed that there was no more noise.

Was he hallucinating?
Wild bamboo forest outside Yunmeng Village.

"There isn't even a single bamboo rat left. That guy could really eat."

Meng Ziyang, holding a shovel, grumbled at Meng Qi, completely forgetting that the creature he'd been talking about, which had eaten a bamboo rat, was already in his stomach.

"Let's go, there's nothing left here."

After Meng Qi finished speaking, she led Meng Ziyang out of the bamboo forest.

As she crossed the stream, Meng Qi glanced back at the bottom of the river and froze.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Meng Ziyang was thrown across the river by Meng Qi, who grabbed him by the back of the neck. Because he was used to being thrown like that, he was able to control his body on the other side and no longer fell on his butt like before. But after taking only a few steps, he found that Meng Qi had stopped moving.

Meng Ziyang turned around and walked back to the riverbank, imitating Meng Qi by staring at the river water.

After a while, he scratched his head and said, "There's nothing here. So what is my aunt looking at?"

Meng Qi wasn't really sure either. She only felt that when she crossed the river, a dark shadow flashed across the bottom of the river, but when she looked closely, there was nothing there.

"Let's go, maybe I saw it wrong."

The two turned and walked towards the village. Unseen by them, a thin black line slowly converged at the bottom of the river, eventually forming the shape of a snake, which slowly swam towards the surface.

The black snake poked its head out. On its small, thin face, a single emerald eye gleamed with a cold, eerie light. Its missing eye, like a deep pool, stared at the two departing figures.

It's here! The bamboo forest here, and even those two human cubs, still smell like its offspring.
"Grandma, Grandma"

Mengqi and Mengziyang were skipping home when a little boy of about three or four years old came running towards them. His face was covered in snot, and he was barefoot. It was unclear whether he had fallen in the pigsty or somewhere else, but his body was covered in smelly mud.

"Pierdang, you stay right there and don't run this way again."

Before the little guy could run up to them, Meng Ziyang yelled, covering his nose and backing away, "Where are you messing around with that? It stinks!"

Meng Qi, with a stern face like a little adult, said, "Hurry home and have your grandma wash you and change your clothes. Go now, be a good girl."

"Cocoa, ya."

The little guy stammered, and before he could finish speaking, he started crying loudly.

"You mangy dog, we haven't even touched you, and now you're crying in front of us? What's the meaning of this? If others see this, they'll think we did something to you. Shut up, just shut up!"

Mengzi's yang energy was surging.

He and his aunt used to be invincible in the village, and anyone who got beaten up and cried would blame them.

But that was all in the past. They've been retired from that kind of thing for a long time, mainly because beating up those little brats was pointless.

Now that the mangy dog ​​is crying, well, everyone will blame them without asking any questions later.

Pidan ignored Meng Ziyang and cried as he moved closer to Meng Qi, crying, "Grandma's a monster!"

Meng Ziyang laughed, "You dare call your grandma a monster, you stinky brat! I think you're really asking for a beating!"

"No, Grandma, there's a monster!"

Meng Qi was taken aback, looked at the little egg in surprise, and asked, "Where are the monsters?"

Being a child, she didn't find anything wrong with what Pidan, who was a year younger than her, said, unlike an adult who would think he was talking nonsense.

"There, there."

With obvious terror in his eyes, Pidan stammered, "I...I saw...I saw it eating the piglets."

Actually, the monster ate two chicks yesterday, but when he told his grandparents, they didn't believe him. They said the chicks were fine and hadn't been eaten by anyone.

He had a lot of chicks at home. His grandparents didn't count them carefully, but he knew exactly how many there were.

So far, six have been lost.

So yesterday he followed the mother hen to the back of the house where the chicks often looked for grass seeds. Then he saw a child about his height. No, it wasn't a child, because its tongue was very, very long. It was so long that when it stretched out, it would stick to a chick in a flash, drag it into its mouth, and eat it up with a gulp.

That's all for today, see you tomorrow!
