Chapter 543 Collecting the Property
Sure enough, the next moment she stretched out a hand and gently touched the little green snake. She was not as vigilant as they were.
When she touched it, the little green snake rubbed its head against her fingers, looking very affectionate.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but wonder, do all snakes like her?
Si He teased the little snake for a while and then withdrew her hand, but it did not leave. It also coiled up beside her and stayed there obediently. Although this scene was not strange, it was still rare.
After resting for a while, the group set off again and the little snake returned to the bushes.
We hurried along the way, and after entering the deep mountains, we encountered fewer wild beasts and the danger was much greater than before, but we were able to escape without any danger.
Moreover, they did not rush to travel at night, and the place they stayed was carefully selected, which greatly reduced the possibility of encountering danger.
After another day of travel, Si He and the others finally reached the cliff.
"You guys wait here, no need to follow."
After Si He finished speaking, he got off the horse and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Gao You and others could only stay where they were and watch her walk towards the bottomless cliff.
It was almost evening, but the mountains blocked the sunlight, so it was cool here with gusts of mountain breeze.
There was still a faint white mist on the edge of the cliff, and it looked hazy from afar.
When Si He walked to the edge of the cliff, her figure became increasingly blurred in the fog, as if she was slowly being swallowed by the fog. Even the surrounding mountain winds could not blow away the thick fog on the cliff.
Gao You and others didn't understand what she was going to do, but seeing her clear purpose, they felt relieved.
But the next moment, she suddenly jumped off the cliff!
The group of people opened their eyes wide with fear. At the same time, they got off their horses, rushed to the edge of the cliff, and looked down carefully.
Unfortunately, the fog below the cliff was boiling, as if it was rising from the bottom of the abyss, and nothing could be seen.
"lady!"
Gao You screamed towards the bottom of the cliff, and then heard Si He's voice coming from below.
"I am fine."
After hearing her words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her behavior just now really scared them.
Judging from the current situation, there must be something else hidden under this cliff.
But they followed the instructions and waited obediently up there, but their eyes were fixed on the bottom. Only now did they begin to feel curious again, what was she going to get?
At this time, Si He stood on the protruding rock under the cliff and took a careful look at the situation in the cave. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he slowly walked forward.
The wooden railing blocking the entrance to the cave had not been moved, but because the fog was so heavy, some mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms, grew on it.
Si He put on gloves and moved the wooden railing away, and a heavy smell hit her face.
The cave was pitch black and filled with a faint evil aura.
You can't feel it when standing in front of the cave, because there is a suppressing treasure placed on the entrance. Only when you walk into the cave can you clearly feel the strange atmosphere in the cave.
When Si He walked into the cave, she took off her gloves and put the treasures at the entrance into her ring. Since she was here, she naturally had to take these things with her.
After collecting the suppressing treasure, she walked to the cave entrance, squatted down, and picked up the bronze tripod on the ground.
A faint black aura lingered around the cauldron. When touched, the chilling sensation seemed to penetrate the skin and pierce into the bones.
But this is nothing to her.
However, in order to avoid this thing from stirring up the aura in her body, she did not touch it for too long. After wiping off the dust on it, she put it into the ring.
With the disappearance of the bronze tripod, the terrifying atmosphere in the cave also disappeared.
Si He slowly stood up and walked into the cave.
A dusty black coffin came into view. She walked to the coffin and reached out to touch it gently.
The coffin was a bit rotten and the black paint had faded, making it look very old.
Si He's eyes were complicated, and she withdrew her hand after a while, then continued to walk into the cave. In the innermost corner, there were some of her old clothes, the jewelry Ning Ji bought for her, and some treasures and other miscellaneous items.
It was inconvenient to carry these things with me before, they were too cumbersome, so I put them here temporarily.
Si He walked to the pile of things and lifted the cloth covering them. There were jewelry boxes and some bundles on the ground.
She picked up a Huanghuali wood jewelry box. However, the lock of the box was rusty, which affected its appearance a little. The box was heavy and felt very substantial.
The jewelry box was of a very ordinary style, but it was engraved with a pattern of ears of wheat. When she originally bought the jewelry box, this pattern was not there. Ning Ji carved it for her later.
She gently stroked the box and after hesitating for a while, she still did not open it. She suppressed the emotions that were slowly welling up in her heart, and then put the jewelry box into the ring.
Then she collected the bags containing the treasures.
As for the old clothes in the bundle, some were hers and some were Ning Ji's. After thinking about it, she put the clothes into the coffin, and finally put them into the ring together with the coffin.
At this moment, the cave was empty, with only a piece of old cloth left in the corner.
Si He took a quick look and then walked out of the cave.
On the cliff, Gao You and his group waited for a long time, but there was no movement below. They couldn't help but become anxious again, but they were worried that she might be busy, so they didn't dare to disturb her.
At this moment, some subtle sounds suddenly came from the bottom of the cliff. They looked intently, and then saw Si He climbing up the rock wall quickly from below.
After a while, she was standing on the edge of the cliff safely.
"Let's go."
As she spoke, she walked towards the horses.
"Yes." Gao You and others responded in unison. However, before leaving, they couldn't help but look down at the cliff again. Unfortunately, it was still foggy and very quiet. There was nothing unusual and they couldn't see anything.
It was evening, the forest was dark, and the occasional roar of animals could be heard from the depths of the dense forest.
However, there is a good place to rest nearby.
Gao You and others followed her on horseback, crossing mountains and ridges, and finally arrived at Snake Valley before it got completely dark.
Si He pulled the reins and let the horse walk slowly into the valley.
However, the horse was very anxious at this time, neighing from time to time, and was even reluctant to move forward.
Helplessly, Si He had to dismount and walk ahead.
Gao You and others lit torches, but the range of the light was limited. It was pitch black in the distance and only the shadows of trees could be vaguely seen. But when they arrived in front of the valley, they all heard dense hissing sounds.
When they heard these sounds, they subconsciously tensed their bodies and knew what kind of animal it was at the first moment.
This is a snake!
And there are a lot of snakes here!
Even if you don’t see the snake, just hearing these sounds is enough to make your scalp tingle!
"Hiss..."
Especially after they came here, the hissing of these snakes seemed louder and more frequent!
They shone the torches around them, and the next moment, they saw a dense swarm of snakes coming towards them!
