Chapter 479: You snake catcher, your snake fell!

"Kill, it's over there!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

Under the night, in a pitch-black forest outside Changancheng, figures kept shuttling back and forth.

They held cold sabers and torches, searching frantically.

The Wang family head hid behind a small hillside.

His body was pressed tightly against the damp mud, and the fine sweat on his forehead kept sliding down his cheeks.

He was constantly cursing in his heart; where exactly did things go wrong?

The Wang family took this 'Sunflower Manual' in the front, and the people sent to silence the yamen runner hadn't even returned, yet the Wang family was pursued and killed by a group of men in black...

Of the entire Wang family, only he, with his high martial arts skills, had broken out of the encirclement.

"Damn it, it must be that yamen runner who found people in advance; that kid leaked the secret!"

"This manual has caused my whole family to be buried in a sea of fire!"

But when he reached out and touched the technique in his bosom, he sighed again, "Causing my Wang family to be wiped out and attracting so many people to pursue me, it really is a peerless technique!"

"Wait until I break out of the encirclement, cut off these two taels of meat, and become a peerless expert; none of these people pursuing me will escape!"

The Wang family head, while borrowing the moonlight, kept his body pressed tightly against the side of the small hillside, cursing in his heart.

Above him, from time to time, martial arts world people walked past the small hillside with sabers, heading toward the distance.

It was just that the Wang family head was hiding very covertly, and there were some lush branches on the side of the hillside, so he hadn't been exposed yet.

"I can only hide here for one night tonight."

The Wang family head thought to himself.

Meanwhile.

Not far away, in a carriage parked in the middle of the official road, Gao Yang was drinking hot tea brewed by Green Radish.

Around him were Chen Sheng in plain clothes, and a group of guards from the Dingguo Duke Prefecture and the palace imperial guards.

Although there weren't many, they were all top-tier elites.

"Minister Gao, this time we can be considered to have made a big profit; in just one day, we sold over a hundred pieces of intelligence."

Li Long walked in, full of admiration.

He was truly impressed by Gao Yang; he could even make a big profit by taking advantage of this!

Gao Yang had a faint smile on his face, and he said slowly, "This is just the beginning; as time ferments, this bloody storm will be even more terrifying!"

"A large number of 'Sunflower Manuals' will emerge in this world!"

As these words fell, the eyes of Green Radish and the others clearly changed when they looked at Gao Yang.

"Where is the person hiding now? Why haven't we heard the movement of the pursuit?"

Li Long heard this and said, "That Wang family head is an expert; he withstood dozens of waves of pursuit in one day and still hasn't died."

"He is now on the side of a small hillside at the east end. The branches there are lush, making him hard to find. It seems he intends to hide there for a night and rest."

Gao Yang's mouth curved into an arc, and he sneered.

"Rest?"

"If he rests, how can we watch the show? We must stir up the atmosphere tonight!"

Li Long bowed and nodded, "I will send people disguised as pursuing martial arts experts to drag him out!"

Saying this, Li Long bowed and was about to leave.

Gao Yang grabbed Li Long and smiled, "That will expose our people; it's not worth it."

"Making him come out naturally—that is the best strategy."

Li Long frowned.

"Making him come out naturally, I fear that's quite difficult, right?"

Gao Yang looked at the corner of the carriage.

There was a cloth bag tied in two layers, and it was accompanied by the wriggling of living things; the bag kept changing shape, as if something wanted to drill out.

"It's August, and there are many poisonous snakes in the fields. I happened to meet a snake catcher in the fields this afternoon. I originally wanted to buy them back to make snake soup, but now it's cheaper for this Wang family head."

"This must be charged to the Ministry of Revenue; it must be reimbursed!"

"Later, when the martial arts experts pursue him here, order your men to stand on the side of the hillside, open the bag, and take advantage of the night to pour them out."

"Next, there's no need to worry about anything else."

Seeing this, Li Long's face suddenly revealed a sinister smile.

"Minister Gao, you are still the ruthless one!"

Saying this, Li Long gave instructions to the imperial guards with the bag, and the guards soon disappeared into the thick night.

Gao Yang walked out of the carriage and looked with Li Long toward the direction where the Wang family head was hiding in the night.

Their faces revealed sinister smiles in unison.

"..."

"Damn it, I said earlier that he was a profiteer; I'll definitely tear down his stall when I go back!"

"He clearly said he fled here, where is he?"

Around the hillside, several strong men holding sabers were cursing.

"Brothers, are you also here for the Sunflower Manual?"

The imperial guard greeted them.

"Yeah, what are you doing?"

"Looking at you, you don't look like you're here to grab a martial arts manual."

A big man said loudly, full of ruggedness.

The imperial guard replied very naturally, "I don't have that ability; I'm just a stinky snake catcher, planning to catch some snakes to sell for wine money in Changancheng tomorrow."

Hearing this, the big men relaxed slightly.

"It's not safe tonight; don't lose your life catching snakes."

"Go back quickly."

The imperial guard bent over, smiling fawningly, "Thank you, brother, for the righteous reminder. Tonight, this peerless manual will definitely be yours."

The Wang family head sneered behind the hillside.

If it weren't for the pursuit, he would have jumped out and killed this snake-catching bastard first!

Forget it, patience is key!

The Wang family head restrained his breathing.

The imperial guard stood on the side of the small hillside, not biased, and quietly untied the bag.

Immediately, snakes fell down the small hillside, some crawling toward the distant forest, others crawling inside.

"What's that sound?"

"What fell down?"

The Wang family head heard a rustling sound and was suspicious, and then he widened his eyes.

In his line of sight, a black snake spitting its tongue was coming toward him.

The cold sweat on the Wang family head's forehead dripped down instantly.

"Brother, stop chatting; your snake fell!"

"Your snake fell, and you won't have wine money tomorrow!"

The Wang family head roared in his heart, and then he saw the black snake getting closer and closer to him.

Soon, man and snake stared at each other slowly.

Both sides maintained a relative stillness.

He suddenly remembered the Miao method he had heard about by chance years ago; as long as you shake your body and keep your body at a special frequency, rhythmically with the snake, you won't be bitten.

The Wang family head looked at the black snake before him and gritted his teeth.

He began to try to tremble his body slightly, keeping his body in a special rhythmic beat. ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
