Chapter 237: Snake Nest and Snake Nest
Calculating the time, today is the sixth day since the venomous snakes massacred the village.

For the villagers of the Great Wilderness Village, who were shrouded in the shadow of the Mad Snake Disaster, opening their eyes was another day filled with a haze of terror.

Xu Binghu woke up early and prepared to go hunting in the mountains. He had a lot of food to eat every day, including peregrine falcons. The most important thing was that he had to prepare the materials for the third body refining.

As he reached the village gate, he stopped and looked ahead with a serious expression.

Before my eyes, dozens of dark red snakes lay dead at the gate of the village on the edge of the wilderness. Some were broken into two pieces, and some lay with their bellies facing upwards.

During this year, Xu Binghu frequently went into the mountains to hunt and had seen many strange things. However, he had never seen a poisonous snake die at the village gate in such a strange way.

He clenched the seven-leaf lily in his hand, walked forward to check, and found that the poisonous snake was broken into two pieces, with marks of claws on it.

"This looks like it was caught by Xiaobai?" Xu Binghu guessed, "It seems something terrible happened last night!"

Since I couldn’t go into the mountains to hunt today, I simply wrapped a few poisonous snakes that were broken into two pieces in white cloth and took them home.

As soon as I got home, I saw Xu Ranlei sitting cross-legged in the middle of the yard, Lian Ji was busy in the kitchen, and Cuihua, the matchmaker who had stayed at home last night, had just woken up.

As soon as I woke up, I saw Xu Ran sitting alone in the middle of the yard, which was very strange. At the same time, I looked up and saw Xu Binghu standing at the door.

"Your child is really smart. He knows how to get up early to keep healthy at such a young age. He even meditates in the yard. Judging from his appearance, he must be three years old, right?"

After having a roasted whole lamb meal together last night, Cuihua and the Xu family became quite familiar with each other.

Last night, I also heard Xu Ran talking and walking alone.

At this time, Lian Ji walked out of the kitchen and saw Xu Binghu standing at the door. She was a little surprised, but still explained, "Our Xiao Ran is a genius. He just celebrated his first birthday a few days ago."

"One year old!!!" Cuihua was a little surprised, "He can talk and walk at one year old?"

She had been a matchmaker for decades, traveling to countless villages, meeting countless people, and seeing a lot of babies, but she had never seen a one-year-old child who could walk and talk!
"Haha, my Xiao Ran didn't just do these things when he was one year old."

Cuihua heard it and immediately reacted.

That's right! It definitely wasn't something he learned when he was one year old. He had just celebrated his first birthday, so it's impossible for him to be able to walk and talk so fluently in just a few days. It must have been a while.

Cuihua quickly walked over to Xu Ran and said, "Genius, this is definitely a genius!"

Hearing outsiders praising her child, Lian Ji's face was filled with joy. She walked over to Xu Binghu with a smile and asked, "Husband, why are you back? Didn't you go out hunting early?"

Xu Ran heard his mother's voice, opened his eyes, and saw his father standing at the door with a serious expression.

"Dad, what happened?" Xu Ran knew at a glance that something serious had happened.

Xu Binghu opened the white cloth in his hand, and the snake corpses were scattered all over the ground, which scared Lian Ji who was standing beside him.

Cuihua, who had just witnessed the tragic scene of a poisonous snake slaughtering a village, was even more shocked by this scene. "Snake! Snake! Snake!!"

Seeing this, Xu Ran also frowned and asked, "Dad, where were these bodies found?"

"At the village gate," Xu Binghu said, "These bodies that were broken into two pieces all had Xiaobai's claw marks on them. The intact bodies didn't have any scars at all. But next to them, there's the seven-leafed flower you planted!!"

Cuihua, who was already frightened, was stunned again. "Seven leaves and one flower, isn't that the work of Pharmacist Xie? How could it be Xiao Ran's?"

"Matchmaker, what you are talking about is the old version of Seven-Leaf Flower. Xiao Ran has improved the previous variety. Now, all the Seven-Leaf Flower in the village are made by Xiao Ran!" Lian Ji added.

After listening to his father's description, Xu Ran became excited.

"It seems that the venomous snake village slaughterer is about to arrive at the Great Wilderness Village. The villagers must be prepared." Xu Ran thought.

Then he said, "Dad, go talk to Old Qi and tell the villagers to be careful and not leave the village unless necessary. If you must go out, remember to bring the Seven-Leaf Flower."

Xu Binghu nodded, "Okay, I'll go find Mr. Qi now."

After saying that, Xu Binghu walked out of the house and went straight to find Qi Lao. After a while, he arrived.

"Old Qi."

"Binghu, you look so anxious and flustered. What happened?" asked Old Qi.

Xu Binghu sorted out his words and said, "Old Qi, do you remember the madman from Stone Village who appeared in the village before?"

"Remember." Old Qi said, "Didn't I ask you to save it? And the people who went out to investigate have returned. Stone Village has indeed been destroyed."

Xu Binghu nodded. "Yes, the matchmaker who came to the village yesterday stayed at our house and told us a piece of news. That is, Jiyuan Village was also destroyed, and it seems that it was also slaughtered by poisonous snakes."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was finally a ripple on Qi Lao's wrinkled face, and he looked a little nervous.

Xu Binghu continued, "This morning when I wanted to go hunting in the mountains, I saw the dead body of a poisonous snake at the village gate."

After hearing this, Old Qi became even more nervous. "Are you saying that the venomous snake has set its sights on our Great Wilderness Village?"

Xu Binghu nodded, "That's right!!"

This is not a small matter. After all, two villages near the mountains were slaughtered by poisonous snakes. No one knows what abilities these poisonous snakes have. The unknown is the most terrifying.

Suddenly, Mr. Qi thought of something, "Oh, right, you said there was a dead snake at the door? Why is there a dead snake?"

How could anyone appear at the village gate so late at night? Moreover, if the fate of the previous two villages is followed, the entire village will be destroyed in one night!

Xu Binghu took out the Seven-Leaf Flower and said, "Mr. Qi, you don't know that after Xiao Ran developed the latest Seven-Leaf Flower, he planted them all over the area, so the poisonous snakes can't get close!!"

Only Xu Binghu and Lian Ji knew that Xu Ran was planting seven-leaf lilies around the village. No one else knew.

Elder Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with joy, and he praised repeatedly, "Great, Xiao Ran really has foresight. First he improved the Seven-Leafed One-Stalk Flower, then he gave it away to the villagers for free, and then he planted them all around the village!!"

"A feat like this should be recorded in the village annals. Two fierce men have emerged from your Xu family!"

Xu Binghu, although young, has the strength of a thousand pounds and is a well-known hunter.

Xu Ran, who just celebrated his first birthday, is smart and kind-hearted. He even planted seven-leaf lilies outside the village without the villagers knowing.

If it weren't for this action, they would probably have turned into a pile of bones and gone to hell together.

"Xiao Ran is from Dahuangbian Village. This is what he should do." Xu Binghu's face was also shining at this time.

Moreover, Xiao Ran now has the strength of a thousand pounds, but he hasn't said anything about it. If people knew, they would go crazy! !
"So what do you think now?" asked Mr. Qi.

Xu Binghu told Qi Lao everything Xu Ran had said to him. "Tell the villagers not to leave the village. Even if they must leave, they must take the Seven-Leaf Flower with them. After the matter is investigated, or after all the venomous snakes are killed, they can resume their normal lives."

Mr. Qi slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, this method is good. Xiao Ran's brain is really flexible."

"I will notify everyone about this matter, and no one will be able to leave the village."

"Sorry to trouble Mr. Qi" Xu family.

Xu Binghu returned home and told everyone about the blockade of the village.

"Matchmaker, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for the time being. You can only leave after the matter is resolved."

Cuihua was eager for this. "It's okay. The men from Dahuangbian Village are all in high demand. The good-looking women from other villages will be waiting for news from Dahuangbian Village. There's no need to rush!"

Here, there is delicious food to eat every day, and she wishes she could stay here every day.

Outside the village of Dahuangbian.

Even with the flames burning brightly, the grass outside the village was still filled with dark red poisonous snakes, lurking outside and watching closely. They couldn't get in, so they had to stay outside.

Suddenly, all the poisonous snakes turned around sharply, and a foul smell hit them. They stood there in a daze, as if they had received some news.

After a while, all the poisonous snakes recovered and gathered by the river. They found a piece of soft land and drilled hard into the soft land with their heads. Their whole bodies were wriggling like a drill bit.

It was not until the snake's head was broken through that a hole several meters deep was drilled out, and its breath disappeared completely, and it died.

Seeing this, the other poisonous snakes continued to follow up with the next one.

Obviously, since we can't enter Dahuangbian Village from the front, we have to dig a tunnel.

Even if the seven-leaf lily can kill them and prevent them from getting close, they will dig tunnels until they reach a deep place where the seven-leaf lily can no longer affect them, and then break out of the ground inside the village.

night.

Xu Ran sat cross-legged in the middle of the yard, feeling uneasy. He opened his eyes and found Xiaobai patrolling in the sky.

He waved his hand, and Xiaobai appeared beside him the next moment.

"How is it? Did anything happen?" Xu Ran asked.

Xiaobai shook his head, and his sharp eyes were full of doubts. He rubbed Xu Ran's body from head to toe.

"You mean, there are no more poisonous snakes outside the village?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Now, his inner uneasiness became even stronger.

It's obvious that this group of venomous snakes are causing trouble.

As the king of birds of prey and the overlord of the sky, Xiaobai can still clearly see everything on the ground even at an altitude of ten thousand meters and even at night.

But now, there are no poisonous snakes outside the village, which doesn't make sense.

While Xu Ran was thinking.

Suddenly, there was a scream from outside.

Xu Ran reacted immediately and said, "Something happened!"

At the same time, he shouted into the room, "Dad, something happened!!"

The moment Xu Binghu came out, Xiaobai had already flown into the sky.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. I just heard screams. Let's go check it out first."

After saying that, Xu Ran rushed towards the place where the sound came from with such speed that Xu Binghu could hardly catch up with him.

"This kid is so fast, I never noticed it before!!"

Just a quick complaint, Xu Binghu also chased after him at the fastest speed.

After waiting for the two to disappear into the darkness, Lian Ji and Cui Hua came out of the room. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, worry appeared in their eyes.

Soon, Xu Ran arrived first at the place where the sound came from. It was a hunter's family in the village. When he opened the wooden door, he saw a strong man lying on the ground, covering his calf and shouting.

Beside him, a dark red poisonous snake stood half-up, staring at the sturdy man in front of him.

The sturdy man heard the sound from the door, turned around and saw that it was Xu Ran. He shouted, "Xiao Ran, run quickly and inform the people in the village that the poisonous snake has come out of the cellar!!"

After saying that, he endured the pain in his body, held a wooden root in his hand, propped up his body, and stood in front of Xu Ran.

"It's okay, uncle, I'll do it!"

Xu Ran's childish voice sounded from behind him, and he turned to look.

Xu Ran picked up a small stone from the ground and clenched it tightly in his hand. Invisible meridians appeared, and white innate energy flowed through them, and an infinite power rose.

Xu Ran's eyes also emitted a faint golden light, as if locked onto the dark red poisonous snake not far away.

"call out--"

The next moment, the strong man heard a sound of breaking air in the air. He turned his head to look in the direction of the poisonous snake, and saw a long headless snake lying on the ground, without any breath.

Seeing this, the sturdy man stammered and exclaimed, "Xiao Xiao Ran you."

"Uncle, it's okay! The poisonous snake is dead." Xu Ran comforted.

Just as they finished all this, Xu Binghu arrived. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a snake with its head missing lying in the yard.

He looked at Xu Ran blankly and asked, "Xiao Ran, did you do this?"

Before Xu Ran could say anything, the sturdy man beside him said, "Brother Xu, you don't know, just now Xiao Ran threw a stone and the snake's head was gone. His strength is greater than mine, and his accuracy is even higher than mine!!"

The strong man kept praising Xu Ran, as if Xu Ran was his son.

When Xu Binghu heard this, he was very shocked, although he already knew that his son Xu Ran was very strong.

However, this was the first time that he had witnessed his strength in person. Even he, the strongest hunter within a hundred miles, could not do this.

You have to know that the distance between Xu Ran and the corpse is now a full ten meters, and the snake's head is so small! In the dark, let alone hitting the snake's head, even if he can hit the snake's body, it will be very strong, let alone killing it in one blow.

"Okay, stop talking and get treatment first. Uncle was bitten by a snake and needs to use Seven-Leaf Flower..." Xu Ran reminded.
