Chapter 78: Snake Language
A total of seventeen corpses were found, and five were still alive, but all of them were in critical condition.
No one, including Feng Yun, had any hope for whether they could survive.
Including those who were pierced by the bone spurs from the monster's tail and died, the Yan Snake Tribe lost a total of 25 people this time.
If the five seriously injured were added, the total would rise to thirty.
For the Yan Snake tribe, which had a small population and few fighters, it was indeed an extremely huge loss.
The only thing that was more fortunate was that the first target of the monster's attack did not choose those warriors who pulled the rope. The mid-level totem warrior suffered very few casualties, only one.
However, people's emotions were quite different from Fengyun's imagination, and they did not appear too depressed. On the contrary, most people's emotions were very uplifting.
Fengyun realized that this should be the white snake's credit.
This also made him understand that primitive people's worship and devotion to totems was beyond what he could imagine.
When the body was transported back to the tribe, everyone in the tribe gathered around, and the relatives of the deceased threw themselves on the body of the deceased, weeping and wailing, and many people's eyes were red.
To stabilize the emotions of the loved ones of the deceased as well as others in the tribe.
In front of everyone, the witch announced the compensation for the relatives of the victims. He would first take out a part of the common property of the tribe, that is, the part of the prey that the hunters handed over to the witch when they returned from hunting, and distribute it to them.
After the winter hunting is over, according to the harvest, they will also be given a share as their winter reserve.
Perhaps it was because they were used to seeing life and death, and because Wu's compensation standard was indeed relatively high, the relatives of the victims gradually stabilized their emotions and transported all the corpses back.
Afterwards, the others also slowly dispersed.
Feng Yun was kept by Wu, and he wanted to discuss with him how to deal with the monster.
"Yun, I am going to leave all the monsters to you, but because the truth about the White Snake cannot be made public for the time being, in order to take care of everyone's feelings, you need to make some compensation. But don't worry, I will keep in mind your contribution to the tribe In my heart, when the time is ripe, I will definitely tell everyone the truth and compensate you even more.”
"You don't have to worry, you just need to give some symbolic compensation. The monster's level is too high for everyone to eat. You and Bao Shou stopped the monster's attack, which is equivalent to saving everyone. Everyone won't care. "
Wu looked at Fengyun with guilt on his face.
"Boy Yun, Wu's actions are indeed a bit wrong, but please understand, he is also thinking about the future of the tribe. From now on, if you have anything to do, feel free to come to me, even if I put my old bones to work, I will definitely help you to complete it. "
Bao worried that Fengyun would have emotions in his heart, so he hurried up to comfort him.
"Wu, Uncle Bao, you don't have to say that. You are also for the good of the tribe, I can understand."
Fengyun readily agreed.
Wu and Bao's starting point is the interests and future of the entire tribe, he really has no way to refuse, otherwise it would be too disregarding the overall situation.
Since you can't refuse, you might as well agree readily, at least you can show your tolerance and leave a good impression.
"Yun, it's really hard for you. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time, and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Wu looked at Fengyun with eyes full of approval and affirmation, and made a promise again.
"Wu, you are serious. These are what I should do. Oh, right. I really want Wu's help on one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"I heard from Uncle Bao that you know how to form a contract with snakes. I wonder if you can tell me how to do it?"
"This is the matter. Even if you don't tell me, I will take the initiative to help you. Don't worry. It's not difficult. As long as the white snake is willing, there will be no problem in forming a contract."
Wu immediately made a promise.
"Yun, tell me, how did you get the white snake to follow you? In my memory, among the snakes that partnered with the ancestors, it is not as powerful as it. You must have spent a lot of energy, right? "
"Haha... consume energy? Wu, you..."
Before Fengyun could respond, Bao laughed out loud.
"Bao, did I say something wrong?"
"Wu, you would never have guessed it. The white snake came to the door on its own initiative. Boy Yun himself was worried that it would attack him, so he tried his best to drive it away."
"Yun, is it true?"
Wu looked at Fengyun, looking very surprised.
"It's true. I didn't know the situation at the time and made a joke."
"Yun, where is the white snake? You call it out, and I will immediately form a contract for you."
Wu was obviously worried that Fengyun would really do something stupid.
"Wu, wait a moment, I'll go find it right away."
Fengyun also wanted to form a contract with the white snake as soon as possible, and after hearing Wu's words, he immediately picked up the basket containing the eggs and ran outside.
After a while, Fengyun came to a forest outside the tribe.
Before Fengyun issued a call, a white shadow flew down from a tall tree and landed in front of him, it was the white snake.
"Thank you, otherwise I'm afraid I can't really be sorry for that big monster. You eat these bird eggs first, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough, I will find a way to get you a lot of bird eggs, so that you can eat enough."
Fengyun once again expressed his gratitude to the white snake, and put the basket in his hand in front of it.
The slight dissatisfaction in White Snake's eyes disappeared immediately.
He plunged into the basket and ate all the eggs in a blink of an eye.
"Come back with me. I'll help you find the eggs."
Fengyun was worried that the white snake was not full, so he went out to find food by himself, and instead of going back with him, he immediately threw out the bait.
After hearing what he said, the white snake jumped into the basket immediately, and repeatedly signaled him to leave quickly.
Fengyun carried the basket and walked towards home.
As he walked forward, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
When he was about to enter the tribe, Fengyun stopped.
"Do you want to stay with me forever?"
Fengyun lowered his head to ask the white snake sitting cross-legged in the basket.
White Snake nodded immediately, apparently understood what he said.
"Then are you willing to form a contract with me and become an eternal partner?"
Fengyun felt himself very nervous.
White Snake nodded again without the slightest hesitation.
Fengyun's hanging heart finally completely let go.
At this time, Fengyun didn't realize that his view of the White Snake had undergone a fundamental change, and he regarded it as an existence equal to him.
He wants it to be voluntary, not deceptive, to achieve his purpose.
It's just that he still overlooked one point at the time, can White Snake really understand what forming a contract is?
Fengyun returned home with the white snake, and walked towards Wu Hebao, but subconsciously slowed down.
He was a little worried, the white snake didn't want to meet strangers.
The performance of the white snake reassured Fengyun.
After seeing Wu and Bao, it just glanced at them without any aggressive behavior.
Wu looked at the white snake, and suddenly let out a strange hissing sound, which was very similar to the sound made by a snake spitting out a letter, but it made people feel chills down their spine.
White Snake reacted immediately, straightened up, looked at Wu, and said the same thing.
Fengyun showed surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect Wu to know snake language.
After a while, the White Snake's straightened body resumed its cross-legged posture.
Wu took out a piece of sackcloth from his bosom, put it in the basket, and covered the white snake's body.
He turned to look at Fengyun, and said, "Yun, there is no problem. I have already communicated with the white snake. It is willing. You can form a contract with it at any time."
"Just now."
"Okay, come with me. I will help you form a contract."
Without the slightest hesitation, Wu immediately walked outside.
Fengyun followed, and Bao also followed behind them.
"Wu, did you use snake language to communicate with the white snake just now?"
"Yes."
"Can you teach me? When I communicate with White Snake, I always use guesswork and tricks, which is very inconvenient."
"Of course. In fact, you don't need to learn Parseltongue at all."
"Why? Can't speak snake language, how can I communicate with it?"
"Communication is not a problem. When you form a contract, you can naturally understand the snake language."
"It turned out to be like this. Oh, that's not right. I can understand what it is saying, but it can't understand what I am saying, and there are still obstacles in communicating."
"You don't have to worry about this at all. The effect of the contract is two-way. You can understand the language of the snake, and the white snake can also understand what you say. There will be no problems in the communication between you."
"That's great."
Fengyun laughed.
Although there was communication between him and the White Snake, it was really too much effort.
Walking into Wu's residence, Wu asked the gatekeeper to watch from a distance, and no one was allowed to disturb him, so he closed the door and blocked the door with a thick wooden stake.
After thinking about it, he found another piece of animal skin and hung it behind the door, covering it tightly.
People outside just want to spy, but they can't see anything.
Wu Zhi stopped violently, and then brought Fengyun to the totem pole.
The witch picked up the sackcloth covering the white snake's body, and said something to it in snake language.
White Snake jumped out of the basket, stood upright, and stood beside Fengyun.
"Yun, cut your hand and smear the totem pole with blood."
Wu gave instructions to Fengyun.
"Want to paint the entire totem pole?"
Looking at the tall totem pole, Fengyun couldn't help feeling afraid.
"No, your blood only needs to be stained on the totem pole."
"fine."
Fengyun heaved a sigh of relief, took out the Wangshou Yaknife from his bosom, cut a hole in his left palm, and then pressed his palm on the totem pole.
"Okay, come back."
Fengyun immediately retreated back and stood where he was. Wu Jiang poured the medicine powder he had prepared on his wound, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
Feng Yun saw the bloody handprints on the totem pole disappear quickly, like water seeping into the sand.
In the blink of an eye, the totem pole lit up as if electrified, especially the flame snake coiled on the pole ignited a raging flame.
Then, something even weirder happened. The eyes of the Yan Snake Statue on the pillar started to turn, and shot two strong lights, one at Fengyun and the other at White Snake.
