Chapter 12: The Ancient Tomb in the Center of the Earth (Section 2: The Nine-Tailed Python)
Seeing the turbulent magma flowing rapidly under their feet, Ye Ting and Qi Hao looked at Fang Xiaoqian who was flying up with them with a surprised expression, their minds filled with countless question marks.
"Don't look at me like this, I know you have a lot to ask me, I'll explain to you when I rescue Li Sijia and get out!" Fang Xiaoqian knew that they had something to ask her, so she blocked the conversation before they could speak.
Fang Xiaoqian took them for an unknown amount of time, and finally flew to the top exit of the tunnel. The lava trailing behind it also stopped at the bottom of the hundred steps near the tunnel exit.
A vast ocean appeared in front of him, and the deep blue sea roared.
A lonely, seemingly crumbling bridge floats above the sea. The end of the bridge was shrouded in thick fog, and I don't know where it leads.
"Mom, I just came out of the fire, shouldn't I be buried at the bottom of the sea? This, what is the origin of this Li Sijia? Can you get caught in this place? ”
Qi Hao on the side had just been glad to have picked up a life from the sea of hot magma fire, and this time he had to face the bottomless and terrifying blue sea, and a loveless expression appeared on his face.
At this time, Fang Xiaoqian's own spirit element was greatly damaged due to the flight with people just now, and she knew that if she took the two of them to forcibly fly over this sea again, she was afraid that if she was not careful, she would hide at the bottom of the sea!
Fang Xiaoqian looked at Ye Ting helplessly, he must be a demon exterminator, the Golden Holy Bead and the Heavenly Bead are both in his body, although he is a mortal body, but it must be different from a mortal, he can only hope in his heart that he can turn evil into good fortune.
Ye Ting looked at the pontoon bridge in front of him, there was no support under the bridge, it was completely suspended on the sea, and at a glance, it looked like a ribbon floating in the air.
"The only way to do this is to cross this bridge, I'll go ahead, you follow me, in case of an accident, quickly retreat!" Ye Ting turned his head and commanded the two people behind him.
Ye Ting took a step first and stepped on the bridge deck, not shaking as he imagined, so he tried to take a few steps forward, feeling as smooth as walking on the road. But he still didn't dare to be careless, and his hands clutched the chains on both sides of the bridge.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoqian and Qi Hao also followed closely together, clutching the chains on both sides like Ye Ting. In this way, the group of three slowly walked to the middle of the bridge, and the thick fog on the sea gradually enveloped them.
"Cold-faced people? Cold-faced man-" Fang Xiaoqian called Ye Ting softly, and Ye Ting came back to look at her.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ting asked puzzled.
"Did you hear any strange noises?" Fang Xiaoqian felt that the closer she got to the end of the bridge, the more she heard a very strange sound.
"Didn't you hear any strange sounds?" Ye Ting stopped and listened to it, except for the roar of the sea under the bridge, he really didn't hear any other sounds.
"Qi Hao, what about you?" Fang Xiaoqian turned her head and asked Qi Hao again.
"I'm scared, how can I care about listening to this and that?" Qi Hao spread his hands and shook his head and said, his two long legs were still trembling.
"I'm so confused, forgetting that you two are just mortals? Hearing is far inferior—" Fang Xiaoqian reacted at this time, and quickly stopped.
"Mortal? Hearing is far inferior to what? Fang Xiaoqian's inexplicable words caught Ye Ting's attention again, and Ye Ting asked suspiciously.
"I mean to say, we are all ordinary human beings, far inferior in hearing, far inferior—" Fang Xiaoqian knew that Ye Ting was already suspicious of her, thinking about the words and trying to divert his attention.
"It's not as good as the hearing of dogs, wolves, and so on!" Fang Xiaoqian, who was short of words, finally came up with a reason.
"Oh, you're trying to say that your hearing is as good as a dog or a wolf, so you're not mortal?" Ye Ting caught Fang Xiaoqian's words and continued.
"Yes, yes, huh? No, no, no, no! Fang Xiaoqian shook her head and said yes for a while, and said no for a while, making Qi Hao on the side stunned.
"Stop, stop! Don't shake your head, it's dizzy! Serious questions! Qi Hao had another worried expression on his face.
"You say, there's no monster popping up on this sea, are you? Isn't that how movies are acted? Qi Hao's mind came up with the monster that appeared in the movie, and he was really afraid that he would encounter it in reality.
"Shut your crow's mouth!" As soon as Fang Xiaoqian's words fell, the pontoon suddenly shook violently, and then the strange sound got closer and closer, and quickly disappeared.
Suddenly, a huge wave hit them, saying that it was too late, Ye Ting hurriedly held Fang Xiaoqian with one hand and Qi Hao with the other, and the three of them formed a group and lay on the bridge deck.
After the waves, with a burst of strange sounds, the three of them looked up. I saw a huge monster appear above the sea, the monster was born with a snake body, the body has scale armor, but there are nine tails below the waist, there is a sound of iron collision when dragging, it turns out that the strange sound is from here.
"Nine-tailed python?" Fang Xiaoqian and Ye Ting said in unison.
"You recognize?" Fang Xiaoqian was surprised that Ye Ting, a mortal, still knew about this monster.
"How do you recognize that?" Ye Ting also asked rhetorically.
In his opinion, those who can recognize the nine-tailed python must be people in the same path or people who cultivate immortals and cultivators, or they are either demons or demons. What kind of person is Fang Xiaoqian in front of her?
Legend has it that the nine-tailed python is the nine-tailed fox demon Su Da's anger has been transformed, and the immortal blue crane in the god world is afraid that the creatures will be poisoned, so he decided to sacrifice his life to take righteousness, and use his vitality to suppress the nine-tailed python, and then the nine-tailed python was ambushed under the seat of the Lingtian Holy Maiden, and has been indoctrinated since then.
"So, this is the tomb of the Lingtian Holy Maiden?" Ye Ting looked at the behemoth in front of him and asked Fang Xiaoqian.
"Well, this nine-tailed python is obviously the caretaker of the tomb of the Lingtian Holy Maiden, and this vicious fight is inevitable!" Fang Xiaoqian also looked at the nine-tailed python in front of her, protected Qi Hao behind her, and prepared to stand up.
The nine-tailed python with its red eyes shining and spitting blood-red snake letters, flicked its nine huge tails and shot at the three of them.
Ye Ting stretched out one hand into the air, and the gossip long sword instantly appeared in his hand. One raised his hand and swiped forward, and a cold sword aura slashed at one of the tails of the nine-tailed giant python. I only heard a scream of "woo", and one of the tails of the nine-tailed python was cut in half by the gossip long sword.
So, Ye Ting once again swung his Bagua Long Sword, and swung another sword qi according to another tail that came from the other strafing, and cut off another tail. In this way, repeatedly, the nine giant tails were cut in half one after another.
Just when Ye Ting thought that he could clean up the nine-tailed giant python with a gossip long sword, something strange happened......
I saw the nine-tailed python curl up its entire body until it curled up into a ball, and then stretched out again, and after a huge snake skin shed off, the nine reborn giant tails waved again and shot at the three of them.
"Oh no, how can this be?" Ye Ting didn't expect it to be like this, looking at the nine giant tails that were attacked together this time, he lowered his heart and waved the gossip sword in his hand again.
Just when Ye Ting was going all out to meet the nine giant tails, he never thought that the snake head of the nine-tailed giant python would attack him unprepared, and at this moment, Fang Xiaoqian jumped into the air and flew to the huge snake head, blocking the snake head's attack on Ye Ting.
The huge snake head spat out the snake letter and attacked Fang Xiaoqian, Fang Xiaoqian dodged backwards again and again, and quickly pulled out the colorful sword from his waist, wielding the colorful sword and stabbing at the snake head.
"Nine-tailed snake demon, look at the sword!" Fang Xiaoqian shouted loudly as she quickly stabbed down with a sword on the snake's head.
However, a sword stabbed down, but it was bounced back.
"Good boy, the scales are so thick? There is even a time when the colorful sword can't be broken? It's weird! Fang Xiaoqian swung her sword again and stabbed down on the snake's head, this time she was shocked and flew more than ten zhang away.
Fang Xiaoqian, who was shocked, snorted, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then the person slowly fell into the sea.
Just as she was about to fall into the sea, a flash of golden light appeared and scooped her up from the surface. Fang Xiaoqian fixed her eyes and saw that it was Ye Ting, a cold-faced person.
"Cold-faced people? How could you be? Fang Xiaoqian asked in Ye Ting's arms.
Surrounded by golden light, Ye Ting held Fang Xiaoqian firmly in his arms and slowly rose from the sea.
"I don't know why this happened, I just felt a huge pain in my heart, I felt that you were in danger, and then I couldn't help but be like this." Ye Ting didn't understand why this was happening, as if saving her was a subconscious instinct.
Seeing that Ye Ting was shrouded in a layer of golden light, Fang Xiaoqian realized that it was the Golden Sacred Bead in his body that was summoned to wake up, but he didn't know it.
"You flew over to save me, what about Qi Hao?" As she was talking, Fang Xiaoqian saw at a glance that a snake tail had swept Qi Hao and was about to send it to the huge snake's mouth.
Seeing this, Ye Ting first put Fang Xiaoqian on the pontoon bridge, and then jumped up, brandishing the gossip sword in his hand and slashing towards the snake tail, the snake tail was cut off again, and Qi Hao fell from the air.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoqian immediately threw out the colorful sword in her hand, and the colorful sword turned into a rainbow streamer, tied up the falling Qi Hao, and then dragged Qi Hao back to the pontoon.
As soon as Qi Hao landed on the bridge deck, he fainted. Fang Xiaoqian hurriedly pinched his people, Qi Hao woke up, got up and hugged Fang Xiaoqian, threw herself into her arms and cried.
"Mom, if it's a little later, I'll be buried in the belly of the snake—" Qi Hao cried with a handful of snot and tears.
"Haven't you fed the snake yet, don't cry! Also, I'm not your mother! Don't scream mother, you'll lose my life! Fang Xiaoqian touched Qi Hao's head and comforted.
"Listen, take this colorful sword and play the role of a protector! You stay here first, I have to go up and help Instructor Ye!" After Fang Xiaoqian finished speaking, she put the colorful sword in her hand into Qi Hao's hand. One raised his hand upward, soared into the air, and flew to Ye Ting's side.
"What are you doing up here? I can deal with it alone, you go down and protect Qi Hao! Ye Ting saw Fang Xiaoqian flying up and yelled at her.
"It's better for two people to deal with each other than one." Fang Xiaoqian responded to Ye Ting while shooting a series of lotus darts towards the nine-tailed python's body.
The huge body of the nine-tailed python couldn't dodge and was hit by a succession of lotus darts. Green venom flowed from the area where it had been hit, and it shook itself and threw it at the two of them.
"No, it's Venom! Be careful-" Fortunately, Fang Xiaoqian's eyes were quick, and she quickly grabbed Ye Ting and quickly flew above the snake's head, so she avoided it.
Looking at the venom that fell into the sea, boiling green foam appeared on the surface of the sea, and it could not be dispersed for a long time.
"Ye Ting, quickly use your skills to force out the Golden Sacred Bead in your body, and you may be able to collect this nine-tailed giant python! If we continue to fight like this, we will always be exhausted! Fang Xiaoqian turned her head and shouted loudly at Ye Ting as she parried.
"Golden Sacred Pearl? How can I have a golden orb in my body? Ye Ting asked puzzled.
"Don't ask so much, hurry up! Force it out first! Facing the nine-tailed python's hideous snake head attacking again, Fang Xiaoqian said anxiously.
After hearing Fang Xiaoqian's words, Ye Ting didn't say a word, closed his eyes and started working. The golden ring behind him was magnifying layer by layer, and the light was becoming more and more dazzling.
The Golden Sacred Bead gradually appeared from Ye Ting's chest, and then a golden giant arrow appeared above the sea and shot towards the seven-inch distance of the nine-tailed giant python.
With a loud "boom" sound, the nine-tailed python fell into the sea with an arrow, and then there was a muffled explosion in the sea, and the three of them were stunned by this huge sound.
I don't know how long it took, Fang Xiaoqian woke up first and found herself lying on the grass. So I quickly got up, and then I noticed that at this moment, I was in a place full of flowers and plants, and even the sky was full of flowers and plants, and I was completely in a world of flowers and plants.
"This, where is this? What about Ye Ting and Qi Hao? Fang Xiaoqian got up from the grass and staggered forward, looking for Ye Ting and Qi Hao.
