Chapter 578 Red Toad
Shiwan Dashan.
Generally refers to a place in the southwest corner of Guangxi Zhuang nationality. Here, it is the dividing line of the local climate, and it has been built into a national park. It can be said that there are green mountains and beautiful peaks.
But in the eyes of people who really understand this word, they know that this Shiwan Dashan is actually the territory of the Miaojiang tribe. It is poor and bad, with poisonous snakes rampant and swamps everywhere, which is very unsuitable for human survival.
Although after years of development, most Miao people have moved out of this deep mountain forest and moved to live outside, there are still a very small number of people who are stationed here and are unwilling to leave.
Those who moved away are called mature Miao, and those who are still in the mountains are called raw Miao.
The mature Miao are not scary. They have integrated into the life outside and are no different from ordinary people, but it is better not to provoke the raw Miao, because they usually have the art of refining Gu in their hands.
That is, raising Gu worms.
At this moment.
A dilapidated village, not big, with a gate propped up with wooden sticks, broken and even not tight. Some of the wooden sticks had big holes between them, not to mention people, even big cows could get through.
And it fell to one side, and with the wild grass beside it, it told the desolation of this place.
The whole village was covered with wild grass, which was one meter high. And some of the huts built with wooden sticks collapsed into ruins and were buried in the wild grass.
Obviously, no one has lived in this place for many years.
"Sha!"
"Sha!"
Just at this time, a rustling sound came from not far away, and the wild grass kept tilting to one side, as if something was rubbing against the wild grass and rolling over it, and the huge weight pressed the wild grass to one side.
Even many mice, rabbits and the like hidden in the wild grass rushed out.
Not long after, a huge green snake as thick as a water jar and nearly 80 meters long appeared in the grass. Wherever it passed, even the ground was pressed out with a deep mark.
What? The largest snake in the world is the Amazon anaconda, which is more than ten meters long. Compared with this one here, it is just like a baby. It is estimated that if it turns sideways, it can crush the giant pythons recognized by biologists into meat patties.
It's just that it rarely comes out and has never been discovered. Or, the people who found it are already dead.
The snake is very fast. After a while, it passed through the dilapidated gate and entered the village.
From the outside, the village doesn't look big, but when you get inside, you will know that it is a completely different world. There are many narrow paths in the village, and the entire area is almost equivalent to ten football fields!
The whole village is a slowly upward structure with very little flat land. It was not until you enter the middle that you know that the village is actually built on a mountain, but this mountain is not high and there are no peaks.
Or from a distance, the top of the village seems to have been wiped out by a mysterious force, which is why this situation has occurred.
The snake had a clear goal when it entered the village. It crawled directly along the overgrown road to the top of the village. After about ten minutes, it stopped in a thatched hut.
It is not accurate to call it a thatched hut, because the whole hut is in tatters, with big holes in many places and even traces of burning. But outside this broken hut, there are some huge animal skins hanging.
There are tigers, crocodiles, wild boars, and even pythons, all kinds of them.
It can even be said that the whole hut is wrapped in these animal skins, even the roof. And if you look closely, you will find that some of these skins are green and yellow.
Genuine human skin!
There is even a skull hanging in the center, which is gloomy and terrifying.
But these skins, like the hut, are broken and none of them are complete.
"Back then, this hut was only for the village owner. And only the largest village owner within a hundred miles could live in it. But now, he can only live with insects."
In the center of the snake head, an old man was sitting cross-legged, looking at the hut in front of him with complicated eyes. He knew in his heart that this place was a holy place in the hearts of countless tribesmen back then.
Including him!
Because the largest and most powerful village owner within a hundred miles lives here! Here, he is God, he is the emperor, and what he says is authority, representing everything!
Back then, if those Japanese troops hadn't come in, he wouldn't have known that there were guns and cannons outside that could kill people a hundred meters away, and he wouldn't have been taken out by them. In that case. Then there would be nothing in his life that happened later.
At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. According to the rules of the village, he was also of marriageable age, but when his parents were looking for a wife for him, a huge change happened in the village.
The whole village was attacked by a group of Japanese soldiers!
Moreover, at the very beginning, they were attacked by cannons and so on, and many people were killed and injured at once. Even his parents were killed by shells, and even the village chief was accidentally blinded by the flying shells.
And the old man believed that if the village chief had not been blind at the time, many secret methods would not be accurate, and those Japanese would have died here! At that time, when the village chief struggled, more than 500 Japanese soldiers came, and less than 30 of them returned in the end.
And the old man only found out at the end that these Japanese used the most violent artillery fire to take care of the village chief's position at the beginning. Otherwise, the agile village chief would also be difficult to be injured.
This group of Japanese came prepared! They even knew that their village chief was famous for his witchcraft.
It was not until the time when he was captured that he realized that these people came specifically for the village chief. Among these Japanese, there was a Southeast Asian witch who coveted the witchcraft of the old village chief!
It was his instructions that made these Japanese soldiers attack their village at all costs.
But the Southeast Asian witch was unlucky. He was counterattacked by the dying village chief. A centipede shot out of his mouth and bit the other party's neck. In less than ten seconds, the other party was poisoned and died.
In the end, only more than 30 Japanese soldiers walked out. However, they took the remaining more than 100 tribesmen in the village out. After all, they were escorted out of the vast mountains. When they came, they had witchcraft to protect them, but when they went back, they were alone.
Bringing some Miao people, their safety is also guaranteed.
"Quack!"
"Quack!"
Just as the old man was recalling what happened in the past, a huge red toad covered with bumps jumped out of the hut. It stared at the old man with its big eyes.
