Chapter 2: The Snake Demon

After dinner at home, I tricked my parents into going out for a walk and slipped out.

As soon as I got out of the building, I saw Xing Linzao, who was fighting mosquitoes, and he had been waiting for me downstairs for a while.

For the sake of mobility, he temporarily rented an upstairs apartment on my house by himself.

"Let's go. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the station.

"What the hell are you going to do tonight?" I asked, catching up with him.

"Don't worry, you'll find out later. ”

Rows of street lamps lit up the night, and in the middle of the road, cars sped away, and the sound of cars mingled with the sound of people talking, and the whole street played into a noisy and troublesome music.

Sure enough, this place full of fireworks in the world is suitable for me, watching this person come and go, I thought to myself.

We got on the bus to Yihe at eight o'clock, this line connects the west and east of the city of H, and when we got off, it was already nine o'clock.

"It's already nine o'clock, and if I don't get home at half past ten, I'll be scolded to death by my mother. ”

Xing Lin next to him was extremely calm, "It's okay, I promise you will definitely arrive home on time." You can do what is in front of you first. Follow me. ”

A cool night breeze blows from the river to the east, accompanied by the chirping of insects. Shrouded in moonlight, we walked deeper into the wetland park.

It's quiet all the way, but I always feel like something is following behind me, and when I look back, there's nothing.

Probably walked to the center of the woodland, and Xing Lin next to him stopped.

"Are you ready?" Xing Lin looked down at me.

"What am I going to do? You haven't said anything. I looked at him blankly.

"Sword. As he answered, suddenly, I felt a dark wind behind me. I immediately dodged and summoned the Streamersword.

"Tonight, it's your real battlefield, and I'm here to support you. After speaking, Xing Lin retreated ten meters away and watched with his hands.

I could see that he wanted to give me a chance to train, but he was afraid of accidents and didn't dare to go far.

I turned to face the thing, and when I looked at it, it was a large python element, about five or six meters long. Its eyes glowed green, its mouth was wide open, its fangs were sharp, and its body was twisting, and the scales on the snake's body glistened in the moonlight. It stood where I had just stood. Constantly spitting snake letters, such a ferocious appearance, seems to be ready to eat me at any time.

"It's delicious food, I haven't eaten a human with spiritual powers for a long time, I really miss that taste. ”

This snake actually speaks human words!

At this moment, I was very scared with my sword, and this fear came from the depths of my soul, and it seemed that I could not beat it with my ability.

But I can't back down, I'm determined to become Liao Chenchen as powerful as in my previous life.

The python was the first to attack me, I picked up my sword in my right hand to block the attack, and with my left hand I picked up a spirit rune and slashed it at its face. The talisman covered its face, and it shook its body and wagged its tail to remove it. I took the opportunity to stab its body with a sword, its scales were as hard as a rock, and after many attempts, my sword only made a few cuts, which definitely did not kill it, but only angered it even more.

"Liao Chenchen, get serious, think about how you competed with me before. ”

I understand.

I immediately turned and jumped a few steps onto a nearby tree, summoned the Fire Splitting Bow, drew the bow, and tried to aim at it. But its scales are so hard, how can I hurt it?

Seeing that it was about to pounce with its bloody mouth wide open, I let go of my hand and kept shooting a glass-colored arrow into one of its eyes. Suddenly blood splattered, dancing and screaming. I added three more arrows, which were also very powerful, piercing through its scales, and little by little blood oozed out, and it gradually gave up its struggle, and lay motionless on the grass.

I jumped off the tree, walked towards it, poked it with my sword, and when I made sure it was dead, I breathed a sigh of relief, and the arrows stuck in the snake disappeared.

After Xing Lin saw that I had completed the task, he clapped his hands and walked towards me, "Good job." ”

I could hear that his voice was full of joy, and I also understood that this experience of going down the mountain was to continue to eliminate demons and subdue demons, so as to improve my cultivation.

But I felt it in my heart, and it didn't seem like I wanted to kill them.

I stood beside the snake demon in a daze, but Xing Lin began to get busy. After he put the snake into a purple gold gourd, he began to draw a complex circular formation on the ground, using the snake's blood.

"Let's go, let's go home. Xing Lin got up and pulled me into the circle.

"Xing Lin, do we spirit cultivators have to kill those monsters?"

"Youkai are just spirits that have been transformed into plants, trees, animals, etc. It is different from or surpasses the form of animals, plants, etc. When they have aura in their bodies, they have their own spiritual sense. But monsters are different from people, they cannot be domesticated and nurtured at will. And in order to quickly improve their cultivation, most of them will choose to suck popularity. Therefore, when encountering demons and spirits, most of the cultivators directly get rid of them in order to prevent future troubles. ”

"But there are many of them who have never harmed anyone, but who will do good deeds and devote themselves to cultivation, will they also be eliminated?" I asked rhetorically.

"This ...... It may depend on what the cultivator does. Tonight, it's the first time you've killed a monster, you must not be used to it, this snake demon has been following us since we came in, and has long treated us as food. It just said that it hasn't eaten people for a long time, and it must have done a lot of evil before, and we can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven this time. ”

"Alas. I ......, "I don't know why, but I've been defending the yokai that are the opposite of our cultivators."

"Don't think too much about it, let's go home. He touched my head and began to chant the incantation.

Suddenly, the circle activated, and the golden light flowed out, and I closed my eyes.
