Chapter 176

On the four-kilometer-long track, the teams escorting the gods ran wildly on the closed highway, guided by the sound of firecrackers.

In the team where An Sheng was, although the palanquin bearers were already older, they were all farmers who ran to the tea mountains every day. Although they were old, they used large stainless steel bowls when eating and had great endurance.

An Sheng's team encountered another village's team after turning a corner.

Seeing An Sheng's team coming, they didn't even think and blocked the front of the team.

"Try ramming me, and after the god-parading ends, An Mou will treat you all to K-style food!"

"At that time, I'll let you know what it's like in Colonel Sanders' place—there's no Kentucky and no virtue, only a robust old man there!"

Seeing the opposite side squeezing over, An Sheng immediately shouted and whimpered loudly, and at the same time, raised the feather duster in his hand, revealing a strange smile.

But the team on the opposite side couldn't understand the fox's threat.

They braked rapidly, intending to force An Sheng to stop and reduce the speed of An Sheng's team.

An Sheng sneered and poked the feather duster directly into the armpit of the palanquin bearer on the opposite side.

"Parading in the middle of summer and only wearing a vest? You must have never tasted a feather duster!"

"Hahaha! That's a foul! You guys from Changxi Town are fouling!"

The few palanquin bearers who were ambushed by An Sheng suddenly felt their armpits itching unbearably. They shrank their bodies, laughed, and almost threw their own lord out.

The rhythm of running was also interrupted because of the scratching by Lord Fuli, and their breathing rhythm was in chaos.

"You're talking nonsense! Our Lord Fuli stretched out his big tail to greet you! You guys are going crazy yourselves, what does that have to do with our Lord Fuli!"

Yu Zhenghong, who was running in front, didn't see Lord Fuli's defensive counterattack completely. He only saw in the corner of his eye that Lord Fuli seemed to have stretched something over to shake it in a friendly way.

Then, the palanquin bearers on the opposite side fell over.

"If you have the ability, let your own lord speak and greet us too! See if I kneel or not?"

Yu Zhenghong carried the palanquin and rushed forward, but he didn't forget to spit at the opposite side.

Our Lord Fuli has ability.

If your lord also has ability, why didn't he come out and trip us all to the ground?

"Damn you, what you said actually makes sense..."

Looking at An Sheng's team disappearing around the corner of the road with smoke and dust, the palanquin bearers from the opposite village cursed and helped their own lord up, chasing after them.

In the time they delayed, two teams had already completed overtaking. They carried the palanquins on one shoulder, held the bamboo poles with one hand, and ran rapidly as their bodies jumped up and down with the rhythm of the hundreds-of-jin god statues.

The villagers along the way seemed to have long been accustomed to the high-intensity confrontation during the god-parading.

The villagers stood honestly on both sides of the road, holding their mobile phones to record videos, just like watching human F1.

Even those who used firecrackers to lead the way only hung firecrackers on bamboo poles from far away and set them off on the road.

Being rammed by the god-parading team, the power was completely no less than a low-speed collision of an A0-class small car.

Although people wouldn't be rammed into the sky.

But sliding out three to five meters was normal.

"Quick! There are two more teams in front!"

The fellow villagers along the way, especially at the corners of the small roads, were cheering for An Sheng, informing them of the real-time information of the competition.

Originally there were four teams in front, but two teams took the wrong road because they were not familiar with the roads in Changxi Town. Even if they turned around in time, they still took a big detour.

An Sheng had already locked in the top three, but the other two teams started more than a minute earlier.

An Sheng's team ran along the track, and it was still somewhat difficult to catch up with the first and second teams in front.

"It seems that since An Mou is being a lord for the first time, it can only be friendship first, competition second."

An Sheng, sitting on the palanquin, had already walked out of the village road and arrived at the big straight road. From An Sheng's angle, he could see the small farmers' market, which was already decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, preparing to welcome the birth of the first place.

An Sheng's current distance from the first place was at least three hundred meters, and the second place was also a hundred meters away.

After the explosion of the first three kilometers, although everyone was a bit exhausted, the speed was still maintained at the level of a college student's short-distance sprint, making it difficult to close the distance.

"Although I feel a bit sorry for you old men, don't worry, tonight Lord Fuli will treat you to the full set of East Sea Linglong!"

An Sheng thought for a moment. Since he was representing Changxi Town for the first time, he didn't want the village to lose.

The little fox revealed an apologetic look, opened its mouth, and emitted a loud whimper toward the surroundings of the farmers' market.

"Fu?"

A king cobra less than three meters long heard Lord Fuli's call, poked its head out from the grass, and was still biting a green bamboo snake that had been strangled.

A hundred meters away, a nest of small king cobras poked their heads out and looked at the asphalt road leading to the farmers' market.

The big king cobra was a bit puzzled, but it still followed Lord Fuli's instructions and played a chasing game.

It was just that it didn't have hands, otherwise, everyone could see the scene of the king cobra scratching its head.

The king cobra crawled rapidly, using its unique explosive secret technique, and chased after them at a speed of 6 meters per second.

The king cobra ejected and pounced, landing behind An Sheng's team, and suddenly let out a loud hissing sound.

"Damn it!? A king cobra!"

Yu Zhenghong saw a black shadow in the corner of his eye. Instinctively, he looked and saw a big snake with a square face and a neck like a rice spoon hanging behind, spitting its tongue.

The other palanquin bearers were startled, looked back, and met the small, somewhat bewildered eyes of the king cobra.

In silence, An Sheng's team seemed to have installed nitrogen acceleration on the palanquin.

The king cobra behind let out a "Fu" sound, and the overall speed of the team increased significantly.

In the blink of an eye.

An Sheng's team, whose soles were almost running out of sparks and whose legs seemed to have run out of phantoms, overtook at light speed, leaving the original second place far behind.

"?"

The god-parading team in second place was stunned. The palanquin bearers looked at An Sheng's team with confusion.

Until they saw the king cobra group following closely behind An Sheng's team, they were suddenly shocked.

"Damn it! A nest of king cobras! Did they step on a mother snake protecting its young?"

Realizing that the situation was not right, the second-place team hurriedly jumped to the side, avoiding the snake group that was speeding.

"Step on your mom! Hurry up and call the fire department!"

An Sheng's team sped away. From far away, someone cursed at the original second-place team.

The king cobra's explosive speed was 6 meters per second.

Although it could only last for a short time, it was enough to make people's adrenaline soar, using all their strength to run.

The palanquin originally carried on the shoulders was lifted up. The old men seemed to dream of returning to their childhood, being scared into grandchildren.

"Damn it!"

The team from the neighboring Dougu Village, who thought they could secure the first place, saw a row of old men running at full power and overtaking them, and they were all stunned.

"What kind of youthful, hot-blooded old men are they! Running so fast at this age, aren't they afraid of breaking their bones!"

The youth of Dougu Village cursed in their hearts, but soon they couldn't curse anymore.

Because the king cobra group chased after them.

The youth who were cursing the old men of Changxi Town for being youthful and hot-blooded a second ago.

In the next second, they also turned into energetic little men.

Although the king cobra's venom strength didn't rank first in Xia Dong, the king cobra's venom injection volume was usually as large as a white wine glass. Locals knew not to touch any king cobra.

Once bitten, the mortality rate is very high, especially during the king cobra's breeding season. Don't wander around the snake mountain and its surroundings unless you don't want to live.

And.

King cobras also have the status of protected animals.

In short, seeing one makes one's scalp tingle. Not everyone is like Aqing, who welcomes king cobras.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper!"

Seeing that they had already run to the first place and the temporarily built shrine was right in front of them, An Sheng whimpered to the king cobras that helped, thanking them for their help.

In the future, if they have anything, just come to Lord Fuli.

"Village Chief! Help! There are snakes chasing us!"

Running in front of the shrine stage and arriving in front of the Changxi Town crowd, Yu Zhenghong couldn't hold it anymore and spoke loudly to tell his encounter, almost crying.

"Don't worry about the snakes! We'll block them for you, hurry up and invite Lord Fuli to the shrine, grab the first place first!"

Old Chen scanned the surroundings and didn't see any snake-related things or similar shapes. He urgently told Yu Zhenghong and his group to continue running inside.

Put the snakes aside, we'll block for you, now you hurry over and grab the first place!

Urged by Old Chen, Yu Zhenghong and his group still quickened their pace and ran to the sunshade, stopping in front of a red cloth hanging from the top of the shed to the ground.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

A burst of gongs and drums erupted in the shed. The villagers of Changxi Town cheered and stepped forward, lifting the palanquin An Sheng was sitting in like a relay. Immediately after, hearing the sound of gongs and drums, the firecrackers that had been prepared outside were lit.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper!"

Lifted high by the Changxi villagers, the little fox stood up on the palanquin it was riding in, whimpering, with both arms raised high. If one looked closely, one could see the little fox's fingers were uneven.

The little fox's fingers were closed, imitating the human gesture of being NO. 1.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper!"

"Xiaoan!"

Riding an electric scooter and carrying Mo Yiqing, Yu Xueqing was surprised to see An Sheng being lifted high.

"Wow!"

Mo Yiqing seemed to be influenced by the atmosphere at the scene, feeling as if she had returned to the time of dragon boat racing. She held her phone and followed the other villagers to make a fuss in front of the shrine.
