Chapter 3: The Serpent Master

Possessed spirits, perfect bodies, ancient beasts, what is that, I can't understand anything. Xu Tian's consciousness was already very vague, and he vaguely heard the conversation of the tentacle monster, and it became violent again, as if he wanted to struggle out of the darkness and wake up again.

"Hey! He's still conscious, it's a little strange! Ordinary people, but they can't hold on to it now. ”

"After surviving two drops of demonization liquid, and being able to hold on to one stick of incense, this is far beyond the boundaries of a perfect body. ”

The two tentacle monsters stood in front of the wooden barrel, looking at Xu Tian in the wooden barrel, they couldn't stop being surprised, and the snake head hanging in front of the arm kept swaying.

"Why don't you try another drop?" said a tentacle monster tentatively.

Xu Tian's consciousness seemed to feel a crisis, and slowly sank, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and fainted in the barrel, the whole person leaned on the edge of the barrel, and there were still a lot of blood stains on the corners of his mouth next to his flushed face.

"Forget it, if anything goes wrong, you will regret it, so let's take him to the master first. Seeing that Xu Tian was already unconscious, the other tentacle monster finally let him go, and had no idea of adding medicine to the barrel again.

At the signal of the two tentacle monsters, three or four different tentacle monsters came in from outside, some of them were completely indistinguishable from human appearances, and their faces were covered with snake scales, completely getting rid of their human bodies.

They carried Xu Tian, Shi Hu and Da Zhuang out of this stone cave and walked to the depths of the main hall. Along the way, the stone hall became narrower and narrower, and the tentacle monsters became fewer and fewer, and after walking for a short time, they stopped at what clearly looked like a square.

Although the area of the square is not large, about the size of half a basketball court, it is not small when it rests in an underground stone cave. Around it, there are four different statues, snake, ox, tiger and elephant. Each statue is carved with hideous faces, fangs, and scarlet pupils. The mouth of the serpent, the horns of the bull, the front paws of the fierce tiger, and the trunk of the mammoth all have a red bead, on which the light is constantly flickering, and a halo of light is constantly reflected, gathered in the center of the square, on an altar.

This altar, about one zhang two or three high, jade and peach wood stacked together, octagonal structure, red on the outside and white on the inside, the surface is engraved with a lot of dark and complex lines, from the outside to the inside, all converge into a recessed pool in the middle, and the halo reflected by the surrounding statues converges together, mysterious and abnormal.

The tentacle monster put Xu Tian and them in an open space in front of the altar, and then prostrated himself extremely reverently, facing the direction of the sky above the altar, quietly waiting for something.

............

Time passed little by little, Xu Tian didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and the moment he woke up in consciousness, he woke up painfully due to the residual power of the medicinal liquid. He opened his eyes and found the surrounding scene, a little panicked, the medicinal liquid in the wooden barrel had already turned into clear water, and he no longer had medicinal power, but Xu Tian still felt his body tremble, although he didn't know what place this was, but he was not stupid, this kind of arrangement was a bit like a cult sacrifice in a few places.

"Big strong, big strong ......"

Xu Tian saw that Da Zhuang beside him had not woken up yet, and called out on the side, after hearing the call, Da Zhuang slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, the medicinal power left on his body couldn't help but make him grin. Shi Hu also woke up in time.

Xu ...... God, this ...... Be...... Where?"

Da Zhuang's expression was still slightly distorted by the pain in his body.

"It looks like an altar, right!" Xu Tian said, looking around.

"Ignorance!"

It was Shi Hu's voice, although the medicinal power made his face twist and pain, he still looked at Xu Tian with contemptuous eyes, and said proudly: "What altar? That's the name of the unknown arrangement by the ignorant, this is the ritual of enlightenment, the opening of the wisdom of living beings, and the birth of a transcendent intelligent body." This is......... The Enlightenment Ceremony, the starting point of the path to heaven. ”

In the end, Shi Hu couldn't stop getting excited, and he had already forgotten the pain his body had endured. His expression was no longer distorted, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, extremely happy. "I've finally made it to the end, I've been here for almost a year, and it's finally my turn. ”

"Shi Hu, don't you think it's strange?" Xu Tian had a little doubt in his heart, he seemed to have heard something, like some kind of spirit, this was not like the enlightenment ceremony that Shi Hu said at all. "Are you really sure this is our chance?"

"Hehehe, what do you know? I saw it with my own eyes. Shi Hu was a little proud at this time, and the feeling that his dream was about to come true was very suitable to describe him now.

"Then have you ever seen a successful creature?" This is a question that Xu Tian has been hiding since he heard what Shi Hu said.

"This ..............." Shi Hu suddenly looked like a duck pinched by the neck, his expression froze there, very unnatural, and he said hesitantly: "Since you ...... Be...... Qiming succeeded, so ...... Naturally, he set foot on the Heavenly Road and followed the immortal cultivation!"

The more Xu Tian listened, the more he felt that there was a problem, if this was the case, then was it so mysterious? And he knew that he was being used for experiments, and he had heard of some perfect body. He didn't know what to say to Shi Hu, what could he do?

"Anyway, I only know that only by becoming strong can I live, and everything else is bullshit!" Finally, Shi Hu suddenly said, this time, there was no arrogance in his tone, there was only determination.

"Don't make any noise, chirp. A tentacle monster crawling on the ground couldn't take it anymore and scolded.

Only then did Xu Tian and the others notice that because the edge of the barrel was high, they were soaking in it, and they were facing away from the tentacle monster behind them, so they just woke up and didn't find it.

"If you continue to quarrel like this, the master will come later, and he will throw you away to feed the snakes. Waving the snake's head arm, the tentacle monster smirked.

Xu Tianshihu Dazhuang was quiet in the barrel, not speaking, and the whole square returned to its previous silence.

Master, what the hell is this, is it really the so-called immortal? Xu Tian guessed in his heart, he had heard of the so-called warlock before, could it be.

"Click......"

The sound of the stone door opening came, interrupting Xu Tian's thoughts, it came from the left, and following the sound, he saw a tall figure slowly appear in Xu Tian's eyes, although it was still very vague and could not be seen really, but the momentum that emanated from the top and bottom of the body made Xu Tian's heart tremble uncontrollably, as if he had seen an interstellar storm that could not be resisted.

The stone door opened completely, and the figure slowly walked in, standing in front of the barrel. As he approached, Xu Tian saw this figure clearly, his face looked about sixty years old, with long gray hair coiled in a bun at the back of his head, a typical Taoist appearance, on his old face, a pair of cloudy eyes, but from time to time he revealed essence, showing extraordinary strength. The blood-red robe, embroidered with a yin and yang diagram, looks a little weird, especially around its waist, there is a small green snake coiled, and the cold snake eyes are looking around, so that people dare not look at it.

The slightly old hands, holding a snake-headed staff, looked at Xu Tian and the others, and said, "Is this the seed of this batch?"

After hearing the voice, a tentacle monster stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly spoke: "Yes snake lord, all three of them have been strengthened by demonic liquid. ”

"Hmm. Is there a perfect body?"

"Back to the master, there is one. ”

There seemed to be a flash of light in his cloudy eyes, and the old man known as the snake lord seemed to have heard the most beautiful sound.

"Okay, after waiting for so long, you can finally start planning, gods and demons! ha........."
