Chapter 12: The Line Between Life and Death

In the evening, there is no trace of sunset at all in the mountain behind Gujia Village, and in the haze, a little light is reflected between the leaves, forming a small pillar of light.

Gu Chen familiarized himself with the body after the breakthrough, and then prepared to clean up the scene.

Coming to the corpse of the iron-backed tiger, Gu Chen looked at the blood stains and intestines on the ground, and he didn't feel much in his heart, but he watched it from such a close distance, and his face turned a little pale. He sliced the Ironback Tiger's forehead with his sword, and to his disappointment, he didn't find a crystal nucleus, but this was also expected by him, not every beast could have a crystal nucleus like the wind wolf before.

Gu Chen didn't plan to peel off the tiger skin, first, it was difficult to explain it to his father and mother when he brought it home, and second, the fur of the iron-backed tiger was very hard, especially on the back, and no businessman was willing to buy it.

For the rest of the corpses, Gu Chen dug a pit and buried them, and he still understood the rules of the jungle such as destroying corpses and destroying traces.

After dealing with all this, Gu Chen immediately left this place and went deeper. He had to get out of that place as soon as possible, because the smell of blood might provoke some other ferocious beasts, and Gu Chen might not be able to fight against it at that time.

The woods in the depths were darker than before, and the whole scene was gloomy, and the occasional cry of an unknown bird or beast added a touch of horror to the atmosphere.

Gu Chen walked cautiously, he needed to be careful with every grass and tree around him, he might not know when a beast rushed out and bit off his head.

At this time, something was held in the corner of Gu Chen's eyes, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. It was a plant with a green body and a blue leaf in the middle, and in his impression, this was a Tongmai grass, which was worth 5 gold coins in the world, and it was the most suitable for him to take at this stage

With this spirit grass, I will definitely be able to break through to the Martial Artist Four Heavens, Gu Chen thought to himself. I have to say that if a martial artist has no adventures, with no talent, the improvement of strength will not be fast, unless it is a natural king. Or if you have very strong financial resources at home, you can also get a quick boost by buying treasures such as pills, spirit grass, and spirit fruits. There is no doubt that Gu Chen has nothing to do with these at all.

Just as Gu Chen wanted to go over to pick it, he suddenly remembered what the second uncle had said: "The more precious the treasure is, the more likely it is that there will be powerful beasts or even demonic beasts guarding it." ”

Therefore, Gu Chen did not touch it easily, but quietly observed whether there were any traces of wild beasts around him. To his surprise, it seemed that the potion was ownerless, and no suspicious traces were found.

Gu Chen hesitated whether to pick, if he was caught by a beast, it would be a whine, if he was successfully picked, then he would definitely be able to break through to the Martial Artist Four Heavens.

Danger always coexists with opportunities, it is impossible for a warrior to have smooth sailing on the road, no matter how lucky you are, without the support of strength, it will be in vain. Thinking of it, Gu Chen gritted his teeth, and with a ruthless heart, he decided to act. He couldn't wait any longer, and it would be a waste of time to wait any longer.

I saw Gu Chen walking lightly towards the Tongmai Grass, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, at this time, Gu Chen's heart was also raised, his heart was very nervous, and his feet trembled so much that he could hardly walk.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters, one meter. At this moment, the sound of "rustling!" came from the grass next to him, Gu Chen stopped and turned around to run, but after he found that there was nothing behind him, he exhaled.

"It should just be the wind. Gu Chen comforted himself like this, at this time he was engrossed, and the sound just now almost scared him to death.

Gu Chen was only a meter away from Tongmai Cao, his eyes were extremely hot, and he decided that even if there was any more trouble, he would not pay attention to it.

It's close! Gu Chen's fingers were almost touching the Tongmai Grass, he had already smelled the unique smell of the Tongmai Grass at this moment, although it was not fragrant, it was very attractive.

"Hiss!" The big tree above Gu Chen's head stretched out a thick snake tail, and with a flick of it, Gu Chen was thrown away.

Gu Chen had already obtained the Tongmai Grass when he heard the sound, and he wanted to dodge the attack of the snake tail, but it was too late. I saw that Gu Chen hurriedly used his arm to protect his head and resist its attack.

"Bang!" A muffled sound came out, and Gu Chen forcibly used his legs to stop the trend of retreating, only to see that he had slid on the ground for six or seven meters before stopping, and two obvious dents appeared on the ground.

Gu Chen didn't have time to see what kind of beast it was, judging from the confrontation just now, he was invincible.

So Gu Chen stuffed the Tongmai grass into his arms, pulled his legs and ran, he knew why he didn't find any trace of the beast just now, it turned out that it was hiding in the tree.

Gu Chen felt guilty for his negligence, why couldn't he be more cautious? But this couldn't be blamed on him, in front of such treasures, it might be even more unbearable to be replaced by someone else.

But this was not the time to think about this, Gu Chen had already felt the movement coming from behind him, and he realized that it had chased after him. Gu Chen looked back as he ran, and saw a python with a blood-red body, a cone-shaped snake head, and a body about three or four meters long was spitting snake letters, and quickly twisted its body and chased after Gu Chen.

"Damn, it's a blood python!" Gu Chen scolded secretly after seeing it, the blood python is a beast that is very bloodthirsty, and it treats its prey very cruelly, tearing a hole in the prey's body, and then sucking the blood on their body, and when their blood runs dry, the blood python swallows it again.

If you are caught by the blood python, you can only watch and resist, because the blood python's fangs contain a paralyzing toxin, and it only takes one drop for an adult elephant to be paralyzed for an hour.

Gu Chen knew that the blood pythons of adulthood were generally three or four meters long, and their strength was generally up to the six heavens of martial arts. Isn't this one in front of you the blood python in adulthood?

Realizing this, Gu Chen used all his life's strength to run, and he didn't care what the direction was, just ran forward.

However, the difference in strength between the two is too big, Gu Chen is also the strength of a martial artist in the late stage of the Triple Heaven, and when he encounters this blood python of the Martial Artist Sixth Heaven, it is completely like playing a lantern in the pit - looking for death.

The blood python chased frantically, which made Gu Chen's heart cold, he had already smelled the fishy smell in the blood python's giant mouth, but he was already running with all his might. At this time, Gu Chen couldn't wait for two more legs.

The distance between the two quickly narrowed, and the snake letter in the blood python's mouth kept spitting out, as if it was very satisfied with the prey. For this kind of hunting, the blood python is tried and tested, hiding on the Tongmai grass, and often there are prey who come here unknowingly, and this Tongmai grass is a bait for it.

Gu Chen knew that he couldn't run any longer, if he ran any longer, he would definitely be caught up, the speed gap between the two was too big. Thinking of this, Gu Chen turned around and drew his sword and took the initiative to attack.

"The stars and rain are continuous," after Gu Chen broke through the late stage of the Martial Artist Triple Heaven, the sword in his hand became even more powerful, only to see the starlight continuously, extremely beautiful, but what shocked him was that every sword was dodged by the blood python, although Gu Chen thought that his sword was already fast, but the speed of the blood python was faster.

The blood python shook its head and easily dodged Gu Chen's attack, this level was not a threat to it at all, Gu Chen finished casting it, and the whole person was stunned to the ground, but seeing the blood python rushing towards him, Gu Chen was so frightened that he continued to run. Although Gu Chen caused substantial damage, he successfully widened the distance between the two.

"Hiss! hiss!" The blood python was enraged by the kid in front of him, only to see its body retract, like a spring, it instantly flew behind Gu Chen, and the blood basin opened wide, and it was about to give him a mouthful.

Gu Chen's back was numb, and he felt a fatal threat, but the blood python was very fast, and he forcibly twisted his body to dodge, but it was too late. I saw the blood python bite Gu Chen's body and inject paralyzing toxin into it.

"Ahh I have to say that the toxin of the blood python is very powerful. After a while, Gu Chen's wound began to turn black, and then spread around at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gu Chen slowly felt the paralysis in his body, and his legs gradually lost sensation, he bit the tip of his tongue and forcibly cheered himself up. He had only one purpose, and that was to escape.

The blood python continued to pursue, it followed Gu Chen unhurriedly, it enjoyed the process of paralyzing its prey. After Gu Chen fell to the ground, it was time for him to enjoy the "dessert".

"No, in this way, if I go down, I will definitely die at the hands of the blood python. The scene in front of Gu Chen's eyes had become illusory, and the toxin had spread throughout his body. Gu Chen moved forward step by step, his legs almost unconscious.

"Are you going to die?" Gu Chen couldn't raise any strength, and at this time, Gu Chen found that there was a cliff in front of him. The current situation made him desperate, with a cliff in front and a blood python in the back. Gu Chen's heart was half cold, is the sky going to kill me?

The blood python looked at Gu Chen with a playful expression, and the information revealed in his eyes seemed to say: It's useless for you to run, you still have to fall into my hands after all

Gu Chen used all his strength to crawl forward, he held on to the edge of the cliff and looked below.

"How tall is this?" Gu Chen looked at the bottomless cliff, and it was pitch black below. Now Gu Chen has two choices, one is to jump down, and the other is to play with the blood python. But there is a huge disparity in strength, not to mention that Gu Chen is now powerless, and he has no strength to fight against it at all.

The blood python slowly crawled in front of Gu Chen, its mouth wide open, and its two huge fangs were exposed to the air, which was terrifying.

Gu Chen gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision, only to see him jump off the cliff, even if he died, he was not willing to be buried in the belly of the blood python.

"Say goodbye to my father and mother, the child is not filial. Gu Chen fell, he closed his eyes and waited quietly. He wasn't afraid, he just didn't expect that he would die like this.
