Chapter 5 Rock Python
Hearing his father talk about the turtle last night, Cheng Xiaoxi was very worried in his heart, and rushed to the river in a hurry.
The river was as calm as ever, and the river breeze gently brushed his cheeks, as gentle and affectionate as a mother's hand.
Cheng Xiaoxi searched around the river for a long time in a panic, but he didn't find the slightest, he was a little annoyed, sat on the ground, but his eyes couldn't stop, looking back and forth on the banks on both sides of the river.
Inadvertently, he saw the flowing water of the Jiangxi River, but suddenly evoked the memories of the young man, and he remembered what his father said to him one day:
"When the cultivation reaches a certain level, the spiritual power that can be driven is as vast as the sea, and the strength of the cultivator will become extremely strong, and he can fight against an army alone! However, the most powerful force in the world is not spiritual power. ”
Thinking of his father's expression and tone at that time, Cheng Xiaoxi still doesn't understand very well.
"Is there really a power greater than spiritual power? What could it be?" he said, confused, and muttered to himself, forgetting what he was looking for.
Not long after, just when he was puzzled, there was a sudden sound of water splashing not far away, and it sounded like something had fallen into the Jiangxi River.
Xiaoxi hurriedly got up and rushed to the place where the sound came from, Longquan Mountain is the world of fierce birds and beasts after all, I don't know what is in the river, he was a little nervous, he didn't take a few steps and hid behind a stone by the river, only stretched out a head, looked tightly into the river, but did not dare to go further.
At this time, the river was no longer as calm as before, the rolling waves were boiling and surging like a boil, and large areas of water splashed in all directions, reflecting dazzling light in the bright sun.
When I looked closely, there seemed to be a foreign object tumbling and stirring in the river, rolling up waves several feet high from time to time.
A fluff of aquatic weeds was pushed onto the mudflats on the shore, and dozens of white fish and red shrimp in the aquatic weeds desperately crawled around, trying to escape from this terrible place. And there are already more fish and shrimp carcasses floating on the water, densely packed, floating around with the water waves.
The river wind was blowing, and a terrifying feeling was blowing in his face, and the brook was filled with fear, and his hands clung to the stone where he was hiding, and his eyes were still firmly fixed on the place where the river was tumbling.
This scene really frightened him, he has lived in the mountains since he was a child, in addition to practicing psychic and physical strengthening, he is playing in this majestic mountain, to say that the poisonous snakes, beasts, birds and fish in the mountains, he has already seen a lot.
But even so, he had never seen anything so powerful, what could make such a big move?
Time passed slowly in his tension, and the river gradually returned to calm, is it over?
A heart was just about to let go, and at this moment, a thing in the room cut through the water, and the brook looked at it, and ran back and forth.
Stumbled along the way, and a dog ate in the middle, but fortunately, there was no danger. He was three points tired and seven points nervous, he stopped under a tree and gasped for breath, and when he looked behind him, everything was as usual, even quieter than usual, without a sound, as if there was nothing to chase after him.
After a long time, there was still no movement on the riverside, and although the brook was still afraid, it could not resist the curiosity, so it crept back again.
He crept up behind the stone where he had been hiding, poking his head out and searching nervously.
The river is calm, and the fish and shrimp carcasses on the water do not know where they have been washed away, clumps of aquatic plants are entangled in the river, and a few shrimp and crabs that have escaped death are deeply hidden inside, dragging their sight into a stream, and then looking at the shore......
A giant snake has appeared on the mudflats!
His eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the snake with horror in his eyes, and it seemed that even his heart stopped beating at this moment.
I saw that the snake did not move at all, its head was facing the shore, and its tail was still in the water, as if it had been hurt in some way, and blood spilled from under its body, and flowed into the water along the river bank, dyeing half of the river bright red.
......
"An adult rock python, more than three zhang long, such a fierce creature is already the overlord of this mountain, it is difficult to kill it with my cultivation, could it be that there is a master who came here to hunt spirits?"
I don't know when, Cheng Xiuwen came to Xiaoxi's side, and his eyes were like a son, staring directly at the river.
Seeing his father appear, Cheng Xiaoxi leaned closer to him and said, "Father, when I first saw it, it should have been in the middle of the river. With that, he pointed to the spot where the waves were rolling, and his body was still trembling unnaturally.
"Rock pythons are naturally afraid of water, and they are afraid that they are forced to escape into the water in order to save their lives. Cheng Xiuwen said, and looked around, at this time the river was quiet, not even a trace of wind, and then he pulled out the long sword at his waist and slowly walked to the rock python.
"Father beware!" Seeing Cheng Xiuwen walking towards the rock python, Cheng Xiaoxi hurriedly opened his mouth to remind.
Cheng Xiuwen nodded, analyzed it in his heart, and said, "Except for that blood hole, there are no other wounds on the snake's body, and this kind of wound is not like it was caused by a cultivator." And if it is cannibalism, then there will inevitably be other wounds in the fight. Well, but the fierce birds and beasts are all bred by heaven and earth, and they are in the same vein with each other, and every time they fight, they are just to distinguish the superior, and they will definitely not hurt their lives, so in this way, who killed this rock python?" Cheng Xiuwen couldn't think about it, his brows tightened even more, he turned over the body of the rock python, but still didn't find it, so he had to put his hand into the hole in the snake's belly and grope it.
After groping a few times, Cheng Xiuwen seemed to have found something, he came to the river, looked around again, and then squatted down to wash his hands, rubbing his hands, and said: "It seems that the spiritual power of heaven and earth has decreased, and it has not only affected human beings, this should be done by foreign beasts, I am afraid that this thing is extremely ferocious, and killing the rock python is just to devour Xiuwei." ”
Cheng Xiaoxi heard that it was a strange beast, so he hurriedly followed his father's side, not daring to make a sound, but only carefully looked around.
"Xiaoxi, are you alright. After a few breaths, Qin Rou's voice came from the forest.
Looking back at his mother, Cheng Xiaoxi hurriedly replied, "I'm fine!"
Qin Rou hurriedly walked to Xiaoxi, and when she saw that her son was indeed not injured, she looked at the snake corpse on the ground, and her expression suddenly became serious.
The husband and wife discussed in a whisper......
Then Cheng Xiuwen pointed to the rock python and said: "Although the spirit yuan has been taken away, this body is also quite precious, and then it is loaded with some essence blood, plus the treasures of those spirit insects I have saved, I only need to find some more neutralizing things, and this poison can be regarded as a complete solution." ”
It was decided to take the flesh and blood, and the husband and wife were busy, the skin of the rock python was very flexible, and it took a while to get enough flesh and blood, and when the three of them returned home, it was already noon.
Sitting on the chair, Qin Rou was obviously still thinking about what happened by the river, she had palpitations in her heart, and said worriedly: "Brother Wen, it seems that this land of Shenzhou is about to be chaotic. ”
Cheng Xiuwen had no expression, looked at the snake meat and essence blood brought back, and raised his head to his wife and said: "The sky is falling, and there is a high one, so don't worry about this, this is not something we can change, we will deal with these snake meat and essence blood in the past two days, and we will talk about it later." ”
"Okay!" Qin Rou responded, but the gloom on her face did not decrease at all.
Cheng Xiuwen knew that what his wife said was the truth, and this day would come soon, so he was worried after all, and his mood became a little boring.
He stood in the doorway and looked out of the house, when the sky was getting dark, and the sky was surging with black clouds, pressing down on the earth.
It's going to rain.
Soon, the rain fell quickly, like countless sharp knives, straight into the earth, and the fierce collision sound that reached the ears was like **, low and continuous.
Longquan Mountain was shrouded in oppression, and the hot earth evaporated all the rain that had fallen at the beginning.
The water vapor was dense, gradually connected together, like a dream, in the thick and deep white mist, as if something terrible was about to be born!
"Today's world can no longer withstand any changes. ”
Qin Rou walked towards Cheng Xiuwen, leaned on him, and looked at the outside world like her husband, feeling inexplicable.
Suddenly, she remembered her son, what should he do in the future?
