Chapter 350: Divine Beast Bones
Seeing this, Xiao Yao didn't hesitate, his body was short, and he suddenly jumped towards the stone pillar, jumping into the air with his whole body, and his eyes locked on the black snake.
The ordinary snakes on several stone pillars dodged the raging flames everywhere, but the two-striped black snake did not move at all, and continued to coil on the top of the stone pillars, just looking at Xiao Yao vigilantly, spitting out letters from time to time.
Xiao Yao was in mid-air, holding his breath, and the whole person fell towards the stone pillar like an eagle with wings outstretched. The iron fan in his right hand slammed into the snake's head.
After the epiphany, Xiao Yao had absolute self-confidence, as long as his iron fan hit the snake's head, the black snake would inevitably die.
It's just that the vigilant black snake was obviously aware of Xiao Yao's attack, and saw that its whole body shrank suddenly, the back half of its body was wrapped around the stone pillar, and the front half of its body flashed outward, and it dodged Xiao Yao's blow lightly.
Xiao Yao took advantage of the trend of his body falling, and gently pressed his left hand towards the top of the stone pillar, and the iron fan in his right hand hit the head of the black snake again.
Xiao Yao's actions completely angered the black snake, and a cloud of white mist was sprayed at Xiao Yao, and the snake god swam quickly along the stone pillar, vacating the back half of the snake body, and drew towards Xiao Yao, trying to knock Xiao Yao away.
The white mist rolled towards Xiao Yao, although Master Wu'an said that as long as he held his breath, Xiao Yao still didn't dare to be careless, he tilted his body to the side, and the iron fan in his right hand had already pierced deeply into the stone pillar.
But what Xiao Yao never expected was that this stone pillar was not as strong as Xiao Yao imagined, as if it was hollow. His own iron fan stabbed it lightly. Xiao Yao hurriedly clenched the iron fan, gathered true qi with his left hand, and slammed it towards the position of the snake's body.
Xiao Yao didn't care if he could hit the snake god, even if he dodged it, as long as there were several stone pillars in his palm, this hollow stone pillar would inevitably be shattered, and the black snake would inevitably be affected, and it would be easy for him to do it at that time.
But the serpent seemed to have a sense of wisdom, and was very clever. It didn't meet Xiao Yao's palm, but curled up its body, and then swooped and flew into the air.
Xiao Yao's left hand hit the stone pillar directly.
There was a bang, and the upper end of the stone pillar was powdered, and the gravel was splashed.
Xiao Yao's palm strength has not decreased, since he has broken the stone pillar, let it be broken to the end, so that the black snake will have no place to live.
However, the next palm shocked Xiao Yao's whole body. His left palm struck on a cold and piercing thin pole, shaped like a green bamboo, and it turned out that inside this hollow stone pillar, there was something else.
This thin rod was as crystal as jade, shining with brilliance, and it actually blocked Xiao Yao's full palm, which shows its sturdiness.
Xiao Yao grabbed the thin rod with his left hand, pulled out the iron fan with his right hand, and pressed hard at the bottom of the fan, and the iron fan was immediately divided into ten fan blades.
Xiao Yao saw the opportunity, waved his right hand vigorously, and immediately threw ten fan blades and flying knives at the black snake in the air.
The black snake in the air was shrouded by the ten fan blades thrown by Xiao Yao, and it was instantly cut into several pieces and scattered on the ground.
And Xiao Yao didn't have time to take a closer look at what his left hand was holding, so he pulled it with all his strength, and kicked his legs violently towards the stone pillar.
The stone pillar shattered, and the entire thin pole was pulled out of the hollow stone pillar by Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao fell to the ground steadily, and only then did he see the whole picture of the thin pole he was holding in his hand. It looks like the backbone of an animal. I don't know how long it has been buried in the stone pillar, but it has become as crystal clear as jade, and there are circles of dark green patterns at the joints.
This spine is about two feet long, and the joints have been completely condensed together by Shi Zhongru, and they are all one.
The stone bell attached to the spine has deteriorated over the years, and has acquired a jade-like luster, enveloping the spine.
Knowing that this was not the time to think about this backbone, he inserted it into his waist.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed overhead, and the little guy who left at some point jumped back on Xiao Yao's shoulder, holding a green thing in his hand to play.
On the other side, Master Wu'an and General Panli had already rushed out of the group of snakes.
Xiao Yao jumped to the two of them, grabbed Master Wu'an and ran into the distance. General Panli didn't say much, and followed Xiao Yao.
The three of them ran until they reached the entrance of the cave before they stopped.
Master Wu'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to Xiao Gongzi this time, we can survive the disaster, which is really very lucky." ”
General Panli also bowed his hand to Xiao Yao, "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for saving your life." ”
"You two are so polite. The three of us should have worked together tacitly. There is still a long way to go, and we must cooperate with each other. ”
After some thrilling adventures just now, the three of them have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and they have more trust in each other.
"Master, how can there be a Ten Thousand Snake Cave in this beast cave sinkhole, and there are also two-pattern Gu worms?" At this moment, Xiao Yao brought up the doubts in his heart.
Wu An looked at Pan Li and Xiao Yao, and said slowly, "Do you know why the four major toasts sent people here in this operation?" On the surface, it seems to be for the prophecy of the witch assembly, but in fact it is for our action. ”
After Master Wu'an finished speaking, Pan Li also nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao was entrusted by King Miao, and now the three of us can be regarded as living and dying together, and some things should not be hidden from Gongzi." ”
Then he said to Master Wu'an: "Master, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Wu An saw Pan Li nodding, "Actually, even if we don't talk about this matter at the moment, as long as we can get out alive, you will know sooner or later." Gongzi is not only a friend of the Poison Dragon Sect, but also entrusted by King Miao, so he can naturally know about this matter. ”
Seeing the two of them so solemn, Xiao Yao looked at the two of them more and more confused, and chuckled, "What is the matter?" I really don't know. ”
"I'm here to tell you, Xiao Gongzi, do you know why we came to detoxify these divine beasts this time? It's because there was an accident. The four great toasts felt that the care of the witch temple was unfavorable, so the four great toasts sent people to deal with the matter personally. Uan said.
"This beast cave was originally the place where the divine beasts raised by the great witch gods of the past dynasties lived, because the lifespan of the divine beasts far exceeded that of humans, so after the death of the last generation of the great witch gods, these remaining divine beasts were left in the beast cave. In the past two hundred years, since there is no Great Witch God, no one can suppress the divine beasts and remove the Gu poison from their bodies. ”
"But that's not the most important thing," Master Uan continued, as his voice shifted.
"Although there are occasional divine beasts that run out and hurt people, there are only a few divine beasts left, and after a hundred years, I am afraid that there are only one or two left. But recently, I accidentally found traces of high-level Gu worms here, just like the black snake just now. ”
"You must know that it is very difficult to cultivate high-level Gu worms, and wild high-rank Gu worms are even rarer. However, in recent years, three high-level Gu worms have frequently appeared in Phoenix Mountain. Two with one stripe and one with two stripes. Therefore, Phoenix Mountain secretly sent people to investigate secretly, and finally found that these high-level Gu worms actually came from this beast cave. ”
Master Wuan continued.
"And after the Witch God Temple lost several batches of manpower, it still hasn't found the reason for the appearance of these high-level Gu worms. In the end, the witch god came forward and speculated that it was possible that various Gu worms were artificially thrown from the top of this sinkhole, allowing these Gu worms to live in the beast's den. Some of them ate the corpses of the dead divine beasts, so they were infected with the Gu poison left in the bodies of the divine beasts by the Great Witch God, so there were high-level Gu worms. ”
Master Wu'an's face became more and more solemn at this time.
After that, the Witch Temple immediately placed people around the top of the mountain to investigate secretly. Sure enough, he found the traces left by someone throwing Gu worms on the top of the sinkhole, and then immediately notified the four major toasts. ”
"On the one hand, the four major toasts feel that the matter is very important, and on the other hand, they feel that it is not good for the Witch God Temple to take care of the beast den, so they decided to send someone to deal with this matter, otherwise let the high-level Gu worms here keep running out, it will be a catastrophe for Miaojiang. These Gu worms will continue to attack humans, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe in the world. ”
General Panli exhaled and added.
"The four major toasts unanimously judged that there were people in the Wushen Temple who ate inside and outside, so it was so, so King Miao decided to send one person from each of the four major toasts to participate in this operation and remove and eliminate this bane. Heal the living beasts and destroy the bones of the dead beasts. Master Wuan said.
"That means it's possible that we'll encounter such a high-level Gu worm again?" Xiao Yao asked.
"It should be encountered, but it should be a one-striped or two-striped Gu worm. This Ten Thousand Snake Cave has not yet taken shape, but these Gu worms have obviously found the bones of those divine beasts. Since the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is here, the bones of the divine beasts will inevitably be nearby, so we have to search carefully. Master Wuan said.
"So are we going to continue our search now?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Let's get rid of the smell of snake blood first, and then we'll go back and look for it." As Master Wu'an spoke, he took out three vials and gave them to Xiao Yao and Pan Li.
"This is my special essential oil, which can mask the breath on my body and make the Gu worms smell like grass and trees. And I also have a carrion Gu, which can be used specifically to find the bones of the divine beast, so let's rest here for a while and then set off again. Master Wuan said.
I didn't expect this operation to be so troublesome, not only to fight all kinds of high-level Gu insects, but also to find living divine beasts and exorcise poison for them, and to be careful not to be beaten by them.
"Master, general, you have a good rest, I'm on duty outside."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao." Wu'an and Panli applied essential oil to their bodies while leaning against the stone wall to eat some dry food.
Xiao Yao came to the outside of the cave, took up the getaway, diverted his perception, and carefully explored the surroundings, and there was nothing abnormal. He sat down at the entrance of the cave and took out the severed spine to study.
It is said that the divine beasts will be refined by the Great Witch God after death, so as not to lose the Gu poison, only in the past two hundred years there has been no Great Witch God to deal with these divine beasts, and this spine is inlaid in that stone pillar, and then look at the jade-like crystal clear stone bell wrapped on this backbone, it cannot be formed at all without hundreds of years or even thousands of years.
Therefore, according to Xiao Yao's judgment, this is absolutely impossible to be the bones of a divine beast.
Xiao Yao stroked the jade pillar of his backbone, and inadvertently saw the green thing that the little guy was fiddling with in his hand, could this be the snake gall of the black snake?
Later, he turned his gaze to the spine jade pillar in his hand, and he didn't know if his iron fan could be found back and continue to use it, and the jade-like spine in his hand was extremely hard, and it could be reluctantly used as a weapon for self-defense for the time being.
On a whim, he held the end of his spine and tried to infuse his true qi into it, and his spine suddenly buzzed.
With a little joy in his heart, he poked at a small tree beside him.
