Chapter 8: Encounter with a python
"Let's all go, Master Long, we also have a care for each other, there are many people who go to the Demon Beast Forest in a team, and it's too risky to go alone." Uncle Chu said. "Yes, let's go together," the crowd said.
I said unhappily: "What are you doing like this? You will only distract me if you go, with my strength is not in danger, I may have to take care of you with me."
"Brother Xingyu, if you want to treat me as a sister, let me go with you, and I will take care of myself." Chu Yun said angrily.
I thought about it, and someone had to talk on the way, so I said, "Okay, Sister Yun, you go with me, and the other people's inns will be handed over to you." Everyone listened to my decision, and it was difficult to say more.
After packing up our things, we said goodbye to everyone and headed for the demon beast forest to the west.
Two days later, we arrived at the big river in the Demon Beast Forest, from a distance, there were already many people on the river, all in groups, there were several big boats by the river, Chu Yun and I walked towards a boat, and as soon as we walked under the boat, we heard someone on the boat shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, the boat is about to start."
Chu Yun and I hurriedly got on the boat, and saw that there were already many people on the boat, a few in a group, a few in a group, probably in a group, just called us a slightly chubby man, I saw him smile and come over and say, "Are the two of you also going to fight demon beasts?"
I replied, "Brother Mo is not the only one who wants to form a team with us."
The fat man replied, "Hehe, it's not one person, there's another one over there." We followed the direction he was pointing and saw a small man smiling and waving to us.
Thinking that he had just told us to hurry up and get on the boat, I still had a good impression of these two people, so I asked, "Why are everyone else in a group of people, but there are only two of you?"
The fat man said: "Alas, there is no way, Feng Xiaoxiao and I are too low-level, and no one wants to be with us."
I said, "Fatty, you see that we are two people, and I still have to take care of my sister, just form a team."
At this time, the man named Feng Xiaoxiao hurried over and said, "Big brother can help each other in a team, there are many people, there is great power." Chu Yun said, "What can you help us?"
Thinking about it, I originally wanted to come alone, but now one more Chu Yun is troublesome enough, I don't want to make any more trouble, I don't bother to pay attention to them.
Seeing that we ignored us, the fat man continued: "Brother, there are many secrets in this forest, we have been here several times, although we have not hit the demon beast, but several times we have escaped death."
As soon as I heard the secret, I quickly said, "What a secret". Feng Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed it again and said, "Big brother, unless you bring the two of us, it's not that you don't say it."
Chu Yun said with a smile: "Brother Xingyu, take them with you, maybe they really know something."
As soon as I thought about it, I should have brought two guides, and said, "Okay, my name is Long Xingyu, what about you"?
The fat man said: "My name is Gu Dahai, and Brother Long will call me Dahai."
"My name is Feng Xiaoxiao" I said: "Of course I know that your name is Feng Xiaoxiao, isn't Gu Dahai screaming"?
"Oops, hurry up, hurry up" Suddenly there was a crowd on the deck, and many people ran to the side of the deck of the boat to look into the river.
I saw a person on the water in the river desperately swimming towards the boat, but it seemed to be pulled by something.
"Alas, I must not be saved, and I was obviously pulled by the river monster. Gu Dahai said.
I asked what a river monster is, Gu Dahai shook his head and said: "Alas, this person is dead, there are many river monsters in this river, their strength is very great, they look like monkeys, a river monster can pull down a group of people, and drink human blood in the water."
Seeing that this person was about to sink, but no one rescued him, at this time, a figure was as fast as lightning straight into the water, and in an instant, he grabbed the person, and with the help of the water's feet, he immediately turned around and flew back.
At this time, everyone saw that the rescued person was carrying a monkey in his lap. Quickly fence this man and the monkey.
At this time, Chu Yun and I realized that it was Nangong Lin who saved people, and at this time, the people on the deck praised Nangong Lin one after another. And Nangong Lin didn't have much expression calmly.
Nangong Lin also saw us at this time, so he came over and said, "Young Master Long, didn't you expect you to go to the Demon Beast Forest to get the Beast Pill too?"
I said, "Why, why don't we team up together?"
Nangong Lin said: "That's not necessary, I've always liked to fight alone."
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and hurriedly said, "Go over and look at the water monster you brought up."
The people on the deck are now crowded next to this monster.
I pulled Chu Yun and squeezed in, I looked at it, and said loudly: "What kind of water monster is this, is this clearly a monkey?
Gu Dahai whispered in my ear: "Brother Long, don't look at this soft monkey, it is not shallow in the water, it specializes in sucking human blood."
"Kill this monster," someone in the crowd began to shout.
At this time, Nangong Lin came over and said, "Everyone, this water monster can't be killed."
"Why can't you kill it, this thing will hurt people when it gets into the water." Many people in the crowd were originally because Nangong Lin had saved people, and they saw that he had reached the realm of breaking through the realm at such a young age, and those who had a good impression of him began to question as soon as they heard him say that he couldn't kill the water monster.
I saw Nangong Lin say calmly: "This water monster has a strong sense of revenge, there are thousands of water monsters in this river, if this water monster is killed, other water monsters will definitely gather together to destroy the boat."
When the crowd heard this, they had no choice but to give up and quickly release the water monster. This water monster is also very cunning, when it was just on the boat, it was motionless, and it was just thrown into the water by everyone, and as soon as it touched the water, it immediately got into the water and disappeared.
The next morning, the boat came to a halt, looking at the mess of bushes by the river and the lush forest in the distance, which seemed unusually quiet, and in the distant forest faintly heard the cries of some unknown beasts.
Everyone got off the boat, and I looked at these people, there were probably a dozen groups of people. They each walked towards the forest in the distance.
"Brother Long, when you enter it, you have to stay closer, don't disperse, this forest is full of dangers."
After a day and a night of contact, the four of us gradually became familiar with each other, it turned out that Gu Dahai and Feng Xiaoxiao also came in groups with others a few times before, and later because the two of them were beginners and the other were junior magicians, their strength was too low, and every time they dragged others back, gradually no one wanted to team up with them.
Hearing Gu Dahai say this, Chu Yun hurriedly chased after me and grabbed my clothes. I said loudly: "The sea, don't scare Sister Yun."
Feng Xiaoxiao said: "Brother Long, what the sea said is not scary, some beasts are not afraid of magic and sword energy, let alone demon beasts, last time a master of gathering qi was killed by a rhinoceros demon beast that has been around for decades, that beast can fly, but fortunately I and the sea ran fast, otherwise grass would have grown on my body now."
I frowned and said, "Sharp will fly, I'll go, it's weird".
"It's not strange, this is just a demon beast on the periphery of the forest, the middle and innermost are even more terrifying, and no one dares to go with a strength like us." Gu Dahai continued.
I laughed: "Then you two still ran in to die."
Gu Dahai said: "There is no way, my strength can't be improved, Feng Xiaoxiao and I have been practicing for more than a year, and we can't break through, so we can only try our luck to see if we can beat the monster beast that has just grown up and get the beast pill."
Hearing these two people treat each other so honestly and tell us about their experiences without leaving a trace, I can't help but feel some good feelings in my heart. As he spoke, he walked from the bushes he had just walked into the forest.
This forest, which accounts for about one-third of the entire continent, is cut off from the outside world because of this bottomless river, which is several kilometers wide and deep. If outsiders don't enter in a team, almost no one dares to set foot in it.
The forest is dimly lit, and tall trees block out most of the sunlight, making the forest particularly mysterious and eerie.
The crowd that just came in has already dispersed, firstly, because the forest here is dense and the trees are intricate, and secondly, everyone really doesn't want to meet together, so as not to encounter demon beasts and rush to get a bad score.
The road in the woods was not easy to walk, and the branches that blocked the road everywhere, and the four of us walked towards it with difficulty, because I didn't have a sword, Gu Dahai asked to walk in front, only to see him cutting weeds and shrubs with his sword to open a way for us.
As we walked, we were suddenly stopped by a fallen tree, which was as thick as a hug and fell into the bushes.
Gu Dahai was about to jump over, when he saw the dark bark of the big tree suddenly move.
I knew that something was wrong, and while pulling Chu Yun and Feng Xiaoxiao back, I shouted loudly: "The sea, come back." Before Gu Dahai could react, he was knocked far away by this swarthy monster with a "boom". It is estimated that the injury is not light.
Only then did we see clearly that this particular tree was obviously a big python.
The python was supposed to be crawling in the bushes to rest, when we woke up and saw that its entrenched body was more than five meters high, and its two yellow eyes were the size of two leather balls. Spitting a red snake core, "Sis..." stared at us.
Chu Yun and Feng Xiaoxiao were already scared, I secretly called my good boy in my heart, this thing was often seen in movies before, and it really scared me, Gu Dahai saw that the three of us were still stupidly looking at the python, thinking that we were scared stupid, and shouted loudly: "Brother Long, take Miss Chu away." While wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he waved his long sword in front of us.
I said calmly: "You go first, I'll solve this goods." When it was too late, we saw the python pounce on us with its mouth wide open and spurting blood.
Gu Dahai grabbed ahead of us, waved the long sword in his hand and danced a faint sword qi to meet us. At this time, the big python actually sent out a yellow energy wave, and collided with Gu Dahai's sword qi, only to hear a "bang" Gu Dahai fell out like a bird with broken wings.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaoxiao cried out: "Damn, Lao Tzu fought with you, and he also waved his long sword and rushed out."
I saw that Chu Yun also drew her long sword, and I was worried that she would rush out too, so I hurriedly shouted: "All come back." Then I wielded it, the Phantom Sword.
I saw that I was holding a huge long sword condensed by sword qi in my hand, emitting dazzling colorful light, and stabbing at the python.
The python seemed to know the power of the sword, and swung the huge snake's head, and the yellow energy wave was even better than just now, and then pounced on me, only to hear a "bang", but it was not me who fell, and the python was directly stabbed into two pieces by my sword qi.
Feng Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted: "Brother Long, hurry up and take the beast pill on the snake's head, this is a thousand-year-old demon beast."
I saw a yellow energy circle floating on the body of the python, and there was a yellow bead in the center. I quickly took it off.
"I didn't expect Brother Long's strength to be far above us, I was self-righteous just now, I'm really embarrassed, Brother Long." Gu Dahai said embarrassedly.
Feng Xiaoxiao also hurriedly said: "Brother Long, your strength is too strong, do you know that this is a thousand-year-old python?"
Thinking that these two people can think about others in an emergency situation just now, I am sure that these two people are worth dating.
I asked, "The sea, how do you know it's a thousand-year-old python?"
Gu Dahai said: "Brother Long, we judge the age of the demon beast from the color, the eyes of ordinary beasts are black, and the eyes of demon beasts for several years are red."
Hearing that Gu Dahai changed his name to Brother Long to Brother Long, he knew that he must have been shocked by the strength just now. I was about to speak.
I only heard Chu Yun rush to say: "Brother Xingyu, I have also heard my grandfather say the age of this demon beast, red is a few years, red is decades, orange is hundreds of years, thousands of years is yellow, as for the next tens of thousands of years, it seems to be blue."
"That's right, Brother Long, and the last one is purple, this is just a legend, no one has ever seen it"...
