Chapter 36: The Red Serpent

After separating from Lei Wuchen, Ding Xiao continued to walk towards the Fog Cloud Valley alone, because of the delay just now, Ding Xiao quickened his pace, wanting to finish collecting the herbs before the sun rose.

As Ding Xiao kept walking deeper into the valley, the fog around him became thicker and thicker, Ding Xiao cautiously looked at the road ahead, the last time he left, he made a mark here, but today he didn't find the mark.

"Has anyone been here?", Ding Xiao couldn't help but wonder. He looked around the valley, and it was so white that he couldn't see anything at all.

"Who?", suddenly heard the sound of "rustling" not far away, Ding Xiao hurriedly took out the scimitar on his waist, clenched it in his hand, held his breath and concentrated, and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

Although the fog was very heavy, Ding Xiao could still see that there was a black shadow shaking not far in front of him, Ding Xiao put down the medicine basket, jumped up suddenly, waved the scimitar and rushed towards the shaking thing, hearing the sound, the thing hurriedly pulled out its legs and ran, and disappeared into the fog in a blink of an eye.

Ding Xiao fell to the ground, looked at the hole in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief, it must have been a mole, it was really a false alarm. Just as he was about to withdraw the scimitar, a violent sound suddenly reached his ears.

Ding Xiao hurriedly followed the sound to look, although he didn't see too far in the white fog, he could still feel that the thing that was crawling must be huge. As the sound became more and more tired, the thing seemed to have crawled away, and after a long time, Ding Xiao walked back to get the medicine basket.

"What's going on in this valley today", Ding Xiao picked up the medicine basket and muttered to himself. Just as he had just taken a few steps forward, he suddenly felt a chill hit behind him, and at the moment when he turned his head, a huge black head bit at him.

Ding Xiao hurriedly dodged sideways, but the medicine basket behind him had been shattered under the impact of the black head and scattered on the ground.

"The red-shaped giant snake?", Ding Xiaofei took a few steps back, stared at the behemoth in front of him, and whispered.

I saw that the monster was two feet long, its whole body was blood-red, its mouth was wide open, and it made a "hissing" sound, and its two fangs flashed cold in the mist.

Ding Xiao had heard that there was a giant snake in the valley, but today was indeed the first time he had seen it, he clenched the scimitar in his hand, and looked back at his back, if he fought hard with this monster, he would definitely not be its opponent.

"Hiss, hiss......", the red-shaped giant snake stuck out its tongue, and in an instant, it quickly bit Ding Xiao.

Ding Xiao hurriedly jumped up, the scimitar in his hand slammed into the top of the red giant snake's head, only to hear a "bang", the snow-white blade and its head slammed together, Ding Xiao hurriedly waved the scimitar, but the red giant snake seemed to wear a layer of armor, and the blade couldn't hurt it at all.

"Ah~", the red-shaped giant snake suddenly swung its body and threw Ding Xiao, who was in mid-air, around.

Before Ding Xiao could stand up, the red-shaped giant snake hit again, and the huge body made a piercing sound, as the red-shaped giant snake continued to approach, the sound became more and more deafening, Ding Xiao gasped for breath, his whole body trembled, and under the pressure of this sound, the blood in his whole body seemed to burst out.

Looking at the red-shaped giant snake that rushed quickly, Ding Xiao roared angrily, converging the strength of his whole body on the scimitar, if he couldn't penetrate its body this time, I was afraid that he would have to die in the belly of this monster.

"Hiss~", the red-shaped giant snake opened its mouth and bit Ding Xiao under him violently.

Ding Xiao was not in a hurry to dodge, and when the red-shaped giant snake was still one step away from him, it instantly rolled under its abdomen, and the scimitar that gathered strength slammed into the giant snake's body.

"Ah~", Ding Xiao slid down from the throat of the giant snake, and blood gushed out from the giant snake's body, dyeing his clothes all over his body bright red.

The red-shaped giant snake that was suffering severe pain hurriedly flicked its tail, wanting to kill Ding Xiao under him, seeing this, Ding Xiao instantly jumped up and stabbed the head of the giant snake again, but the head of the giant snake was extremely hard, and although the scimitar was blessed with strength, it still did not penetrate a bit.

"Hiss~", the red-shaped giant snake with an injury in the abdomen did not rush to attack, but lay its entire body on the ground, and blood soaked the ground under it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Xiao hurriedly took a breath, and after this combo, most of his physical strength had been consumed, which showed that the red-shaped giant snake did not seem to be in trouble.

"It's better to go first", Ding Xiao thought to himself, hurriedly turned around and jumped up, and flew out of the valley.

"Hiss~", just the moment he just jumped up, the red-shaped giant snake had appeared behind him, and the black-red tail swept him down from the air, and with a "clang", his body slammed heavily on the ground.

Ding Xiao ignored the severe pain on his body, quickly stood up, and stared at the red-shaped giant snake standing in the air.

"How...... How is it possible?", Ding Xiao said in surprise, and after lying on the ground for a short while, the wound on the giant snake's body had completely healed.

"It seems that I have to fight to the death with you today", Ding Xiao clenched the scimitar in his hand and said with a cold expression.

The red-shaped giant snake also seemed to feel a strong hostility, its blood-red body became more and more vivid, its brown eyes looked at the prey in front of it, and in an instant, it rushed towards Ding Xiao.

The skin of its whole body is too hard, the scimitar has no effect on it, and the only weak abdomen is its fatal place, but he didn't expect it to have such a strong self-healing ability, and if it is consumed again, it will become more and more unfavorable to himself, just when Ding Xiao was anxious, he suddenly thought of a place before.

Ding Xiao smiled coldly, it was a forbidden area of life, although he had never been in, but in this situation, no other worries were allowed, rather than being eaten by this monster, it was better to go in and fight, and kill this monster before he died.

"Take you to a fun place", Ding Xiao shouted loudly at the red-shaped giant snake, turned around and jumped forward quickly, and the giant snake saw this, and also quickly chased after Ding Xiao.

The violent sound kept echoing in the valley, startling the surrounding animals to flee, the originally quiet valley suddenly became lively, if it wasn't for the encounter with this giant snake, Ding Xiao didn't know that this valley, known as the place of death, still had such a lively scene.

At this moment, Ding Xiao couldn't help but think about Wu Chang'an, this valley is not as terrible as he said, as for why he said to the villagers that this is a forbidden area, a valley of death, is there any secret hidden here, and he doesn't want to be known?

Ding Xiao listened to the wind that kept "whistling" in his ears, in this white mist, he didn't know where the road ahead was, and he only kept running forward, because this was his only life.

"Whew...... Woo......"

Suddenly, a wild beast's scream pierced the fog and rushed into Ding Xiao's ears, he knew very well in his heart that this cry must be theirs, could it be that he came to seek revenge on himself?
