87. Lead the way

The moon is high and the night is dark, and the top of the hill is full of messes.

The carcass of pit vipers, shattered stones, broken dead wood.

In this devastated and tragic battlefield, the young man gently brushed off the dust on his clothes, and his face was as calm as water.

The joy of jumping through two steps in quick succession did not overwhelm him. He was just ecstatic for a moment, and quickly regained his composure.

recalled that when he broke through the fourth order, there seemed to be a force in his body that pushed him to desperately absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and it was this power of unknown and mysterious origin that disrupted his rhythm at that moment and almost controlled his body.

"Teacher, when I broke through the fourth order, my body seemed to be a little out of control. Xia Gui hesitated for a long time and said the question in his heart.

Boudin had already expected him to ask this question, and his face was solemn, "Yes, because the consciousness of that flat-haired beast has awakened a little. ”

"Chongming Bird?" Xia Gui was surprised.

"Yes, this flat-haired beast is sealed within you, and you are one. When you break through to the fourth level, it triggers the resonance of its subconscious breakthrough, but it doesn't know it, and its consciousness habitually grabs it, so it replaces the rhythm of your absorption. Boudin explained.

After listening to this explanation, Xia Gui took a deep breath with some fear, "Isn't this beast sealed?"

"While its seal is not yet broken, it is impossible to perceive you or the outside world, and any action you make will not attract his attention. However, the situation now, a little has changed, and the first seal has been unlocked. Boudin stroked his forehead with some headache, "There is some kind of mutual perception channel between you. ”

"Goo" swallowed his saliva, Xia Gui, who had a dry mouth, said slowly: "What will be the consequences?"

Boudin shook his head, "It's not awake yet, its consciousness is quite weak, and it won't happen. But as time goes on, his consciousness will gradually awaken, and then the situation will be dangerous. ”

The current Xia Gui is only a fourth-order cultivator of the Cheng Mai Realm, and in the face of this thousand-year-old demon beast, he is like a small grasshopper on a plate, which can be crushed with his fingers. If this behemoth really awakens, the first thing this cunning creature will do is to devour himself completely.

This terrible consequence, even if Boudan doesn't say it, Xia Gui can guess it.

"You must devour its power before he fully awakens. You strengthen, it weakens, you get stronger, it gets weaker, then once it wakes up and wants to kill you, it's not that easy. ”

Boudin's logic is very simple and crude.

Seals are to be broken, and power is to be devoured.

It's just that the sooner the better.

It's like a race of life, whoever can take the lead in strength will gain strength and a glimmer of life.

Xia Gui, who has experienced so many setbacks and tribulations, has already honed his mind to be calm and tenacious. If at first he thought it was a cruel thing to devour the power of the Heavy Bird, but now in the face of such a life-and-death situation, he is no longer indecisive.

"Teacher, tell me how to speed up, I can handle anything. Xia Gui said in a low voice.

"Can you bear anything?"

Budan strengthened his tone, and he looked at the young apprentice's cheek, "I have 11,000 ways to increase the speed of cultivation here, and when you first obtain the Inner Pill of the Sky Swallowing Python, I will slowly teach it to you." ”

"Nedan ......"

Speaking of the Neydan of the Sky Swallowing Python, Xia Gui seemed to be awakened.

The real purpose of this mission is the Inner Dan of the Sky Swallowing Python, and you must have enough merit to exchange for the Sky Swallowing Python. And as a hundred-year-old Heaven Swallowing Python's Inner Dan is a good medicine for breakthroughs, especially for cultivators in the late stage of the Dripping Water Realm, a hundred-year-old cultivation Inner Pill is enough to properly support the successful impact of the Murmuring Realm.

You must know that the impact realm is not as simple as the impact level, because there is a difference in the realm, so this impact level is also extremely difficult, and there is even the possibility of regression if you are not careful.

And a hundred-year-old pill undoubtedly greatly increases the possibility of success in impact, and can even reach a 100% success rate.

For Ah Scar, who has broken through to the Gurgling Creek Realm, this inner pill may not be so important anymore, that is, the elixir of nourishing and strengthening. But for Jiang Wu, this hundred-year-old cultivation pill is what he is determined to obtain.

Thinking about it this way, although Xia Gui has now broken through to the fourth order of the Chengmai Realm, there is still a huge difference in strength between Jiang Wu and the others, and it can be said that there is little hope of snatching this Inner Dan from the hands of these warriors......

"Well, Nedan, that's the ultimate purpose of your trip. If you don't have this Inner Dan, what do you use to break through and break the second seal? Boudin said.

Xia Gui sighed a little helplessly, what Boudan said was simple, looking for the Sky Swallowing Python, where did he go to find it?

There was no news of their teammates from the other two mountains in the distance, and they didn't know what they were looking for.

As I looked around the black extinct volcano, I couldn't help but sigh leisurely. The snake beasts on this mountain have almost been wiped out by themselves, and I am afraid that there is not even a single snake shadow. Just as Xia Gui was about to turn around and go down the mountain, suddenly his ears stood up alertly.

Bang la blah.

He seemed to hear something strange, like the sound of broken stone collapsing.

His eyes looked like a cheetah at the place where the voice came from, and in the gap of a pile of small stones that had been broken, a snake of medium physique was actually crawling by meandering!

The snake slipped like a small fish and slipped through the crack in the stone, revealing only half of its sliding skin. As he swam, the rubble around him was touched, making a rattling sound.

It was this sound that betrayed it.

"Fish that slipped through the net?" Xia Gui was also surprised, but he didn't expect that there would be a living.

He took three steps and made two steps, his fingers penetrated into the pile of rubble, and with a slight grip, he quickly pinched the slippery snake body and grabbed it out.

It's a snake the size of a three-finger snake. Compared with the small snakes that were killed before, it was covered in spots and had a larger physique, so it could not be called a small snake. But compared to the pit viper that was killed, it was only one or two meters long, and it was a small snake in comparison.

The snake was choked seven inches, writhing and struggling in the air, looking angry.

"Twenty to thirty years of cultivation. Boudin took one look and said.

Compared to the little snake, its cultivation is even better, and its spiritual intelligence is also higher, but compared to the pit viper, it is far inferior.

The corners of Xia Gui's mouth hooked up a contemptuous smile, obviously not taking this guy seriously. Since he can kill the pit viper, if he wants to get rid of this spotted snake that has only been cultivated for twenty or thirty years, it is simply no problem.

Just when Xia Gui's palms were tightly closed, ready to pinch the seven inches of this scourge, the spotted snake actually glanced back at Xia Gui, and his eyes showed a variety of expressions such as fear, pleading, and fear. The expression in this gaze was as rich as human eyes, which made Xia Gui's heartstrings tremble slightly, this snake is very smart!

"Although the cultivation is not very high, the spirituality is very strong. "It seems that I have been dedicating myself to spiritual wisdom for the past twenty or thirty years. ”

Xia Gui's palm gently pinched the seven inches, feeling the struggle of the spotted snake. Xia Gui looked at its pupils with interest, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "So spiritual, can you understand me?"

The spotted snake twisted its body, and a miracle happened, it actually bent the front half of the snake's body near its head, and nodded like a human bending its neck. Seeing the spotted snake nodding, Xia Gui was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that this creature with a brain no bigger than his thumb would be able to understand what he was saying.

Xia Gui changed his hideous face and said viciously: "Since you can understand what I mean, then I will have something to say." It's not easy for you to practice for decades, if you don't want to be caught by me, it's best to listen to me honestly. ”

Seeing Xia Gui's fierce face, there was also a trace of resentment in the eyes of the spotted snake, and this resentful look quickly dissipated. Because it knew that it was not as good as Xia Gui, and it couldn't swallow the hateful human in front of it alive, so it had to nod helplessly with hatred in its eyes.

"Where is the snake king swallowing python? lead the way, I want to see it. Xia Gui said.

When the spotted snake heard that Xia Gui was looking for the Sky Swallowing Python, a trace of consternation first appeared in its strange eyes, and then it called twice with a "hiss, hiss".

It knows where the Sky Swallower is hiding.

"Okay, you'll lead the way. Xia Gui said.

The spotted snake stared at Xia Gui in disbelief, and there was a faint look of anticipation in his cunning and resentful eyes, probably very eager to see Xia Gui being swallowed alive by the Sky Swallowing Python.

Of course, Xia Gui knew about its vicious thoughts, but as a human with advanced intelligence, he didn't want to expose this guy's pitiful thoughts.

Let this vicious and stupid inferior animal lead the way, and when you are about to see the Sky Swallowing Python, you will slap him to death with one palm, and never give it a chance to report the news.

Of course, there are also some means to control the speed of this beast's movement, so as not to get out of control when it happens.

Thinking of this, Xia Gui grabbed the tail of the spotted snake and straightened its snake body, and then a thick true qi poured into his hands, grabbing the straight snake body, Xia Gui's hands went around inward, just like tying a knot with hemp rope, and it was actually a dead knot on the snake of the spotted snake.

Because this knot is blessed with special true qi, the spotted snake can't break free from this dead knot after it lands. Pity this low-level creature that used to swim as freely as a loach, suddenly didn't know how to expand and shrink in the process of swimming, dragging this huge dead knot, limping and crawling at a very slow speed.

"Hiss. The spotted snake turned its head and glanced at Xia Gui with great resentment.

"Haha. Seeing its embarrassed crawling appearance, Xia Gui suddenly laughed mischievously, and then followed the spotted snake unhurriedly.

One man and one snake slowly descended the mountain at a serene speed.
