Chapter 56: The Great Snake
The three of them briefly explained to each other their cultivation, combat power, and magic weapon attacks that they were good at, and after agreeing to take care of each other, they quickly flew into a height of four hundred meters.
Along the way, the three of them saw some small demon beasts many times, but they were all in the Qi refining period, and it was useless to collect them.
In fact, the three of them knew very well that if they wanted to win the ranking in this assessment trial, it was best to collect the Jindan Period Demon Beast. But even if Shi Rou and Li Mu are currently in the early stage of Jindan, they don't dare to say that they can do it.
For many really powerful Jindan stage demon beasts, these two of them are just delivering food.
After entering the 400-meter altitude area, due to the unknown road ahead, the speed of the three of them inevitably slowed down, and the further they went, the stronger the inexplicable sense of crisis became. During the foundation building period, the demon beasts were already able to exude coercion, maybe one or two were nothing, but tens of thousands of them inhabited the territory, and when they united, that kind of prestige was extremely terrifying.
"I don't expect it to be ...... in groups," Liu Meier said in her mouth.
Soon, the sky darkened, and the three of them had been looking in the mountains for a day, and finally found the trial sign, which was close to evening.
At this moment, Tianquan Mountain, which was shrouded in black curtains, seemed to be covered by a huge devil's claw, and the sullen oppression was so heavy that people couldn't breathe.
The mountains and forests are especially terrifying at night, with the occasional movement in the grass or the sound of a few strange birds in the woods.
"Why don't we rest for one night first, and then hunt demon beasts tomorrow?" Liu Meier rubbed her arms and felt that the mountains were especially cold at night.
"It's fine." Li Mu looked at Shi Rou.
Shi Rou: "I'm fine, but it's best not to make a fire, it's easy to attract demon beasts." That way, you won't be able to rest well. ”
"Not bad." Li Mu nodded, and immediately extinguished Liu Meier's desire to make a fire to keep warm.
Glaring at Shi Rou fiercely, Liu Mei'er saw that Li Mu had found a big tree to sit down and meditate, and she also chose an ancient tree with intricately entrenched roots next to her, and sat down and quietly looked at Li Mu's handsome face.
Shi Rou jumped and sat cross-legged between the branches of a large tree, paying vigilant attention to her surroundings as she took out dry food and a water bottle from her storage bag and ate them in small bites. Although the valley has long been opened at this moment, the food habits left in the Nether in the past have not been completely changed. It's in this kind of barren mountains and mountains, and it's always boring if you don't eat something.
Seeing this, Li Mu and Liu Meier were a little incomprehensible. But how many monks don't have a weird temper? So I didn't say anything.
Soon, the night was getting deeper. There was no sky and moon in the dense forest, and it was pitch black, Liu Mei'er was scared and asked to sit with Li Mu. Li Mu did not refuse, but only asked her not to disturb her meditation.
Just when Shi Rou climbed to the middle of the tree to take a nap and began to get a little confused.
"Hiss, hiss......"
A subtle, dangerous movement was getting closer and closer to Shi Rou.
Who?!
Shi Rou opened her eyes suddenly, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she faced a snake head that was a foot in diameter!
The snake head felt Shi Rou wake up, and without hesitation, he suddenly opened his bloody mouth and bit her hard!
Eyes and hands are quick, Shi Rou is almost instinctive, leaning back and planting from the tree, avoiding the fangs of the poisonous snake while holding the trunk with both hands and sliding down.
Halfway through the slide, the poisonous snake had already caught up, and Shi Rou kicked the trunk with both feet, and the whole person flew out and landed in the thigh-deep grass.
At this time, everything was silent, and the sound of all the insects, birds, gnats and gnats in the world seemed to be so frightened that they shrank up and did not dare to make a sound because of the appearance of this big snake.
Shi Rou took the time to sweep the ground just now, but she didn't see Li Mu and Liu Mei'er, where did the two go?
"Hiss ......"
It's a pity that Shi Rou has no time to take care of the two of them at this moment.
After missing two attacks in a row, the big snake also found that Shi Rou didn't seem to be as easy to deal with as it thought, and cautiously wrapped around the big tree, spitting snake letters, and the snake's eyes bloomed with a dangerous golden light.
"The Golden Serpent?" Shi Rou found out the breed of this snake and couldn't help but be surprised. A few days ago, Lian Zhan gave her a copy of "Demon Beast Tasting", she had seen this kind of demon beast on it, it is said that the highest grade of the golden thread snake found so far is the Yuan infant stage, and every extra golden thread on the head of the snake represents that they have finished molting their skin once and successfully advanced to the next level.
There are two golden threads on the head of this snake, and it is obvious that it is a foundation building demon beast! And the two golden lines are all brilliant, and it is obvious that they are still demon beasts that have entered the foundation building period for a long time. In other words, its combat power is comparable to that of Jindan Renxiu, or, has it reached the middle and late stages of Jindan?
Shi Rou's eyes flashed with excitement, after successfully advancing, she had never fought head-to-head with anyone, wouldn't it be a good opportunity now?
The golden thread snake would not give Shi Rou any more time to think, as soon as she noticed that she was slightly distracted, she immediately attacked with all her strength, obviously more than ten zhang long, but she could move extremely quickly.
Shi Rou only felt a bloody breath coming to her face, the strong wind blew her face painfully, she jumped up suddenly, avoided the snake's head, jumped onto the big snake, the water spirit sword was withdrawn, the spiritual power was poured into the sword body, and a sword was slashed!
"Whoa-" The long sword slashed at the serpent's back, scraping the snake's scales into a burst of sparks, but it didn't stab into it at all.
The snake's body shook violently, Shi Rou couldn't stand on his feet at all, and immediately jumped off the snake's back, and jumped into the air the moment he landed, avoiding the snake's head that turned around and bitten him.
Shi Rou didn't expect it, but she couldn't even make a wound on the snake's back! You must know that what you have in your hand is also the magic weapon of the Jindan period, although it is not a divine weapon, but it is also an extraordinary iron, under the infusion of aura, you can't even make the golden thread shoot injured?
After being dodged by Shi Rou many times, the golden thread snake has been completely enraged by Shi Rou, and it no longer tries to attack with Shi Rou, but attacks at full speed, the attack is fierce, and the huge snake body swims in the forest at high speed, so fast that only afterimages can be seen.
In an instant, there seemed to be a foot-thick whip sweeping in the forest, stirring up the leaves and branches in the sky to dance wildly, and the trees that were hundreds of feet tall collapsed one after another under the impact of the huge force.
"Whoosh!" The snake's mouth kept spitting out black slime, shaped like a sharp arrow. As soon as the venom touched the trunks and stones, it immediately corroded into a large hole.
Shi Rou dodged at high speed in the forest, constantly shuttling and jumping. She didn't use a flying sword, just because although the flying sword could support her to fly in the air, it was good for traveling, but it was far from flexible compared to the golden snake. In particular, the Golden Thread Snake moved too violently, and the air around it was disturbed by it. If it is not properly controlled and gets involved in the turbulence of the air, it will be taken advantage of by the golden thread snake.
The movement speed of the golden thread snake was too fast, and as soon as it noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power, it immediately avoided it, and Shi Rou made several moves, but rarely hit it.
However, in the process of running and jumping at a rapid pace, Shi Rou found that his speed and strength were getting faster and faster, and he couldn't help but wonder, had he never heard that a breakthrough in the realm could also bring physical strengthening?
In the world of cultivating the truth, the gods are generally cultivated but not the body. Even the bodies of high-level monks are still mortal in the flesh, but the power of spiritual sense, magic weapons, and spells can make them dominate the heavens and the earth. And as long as the body is controlled by qi, it is definitely not something that an ordinary spirit sword can hurt.
At this time, Shi Rou felt that the speed of her body was so fast that she was terrified.
The wind whistling in my ears whistled by, and everything around me was as fast as an afterimage, but it was clearly visible. Spiritual power is running wildly in the body, not only the speed and endurance are improved, but even the eyesight and ear power are not the same as before.
The night seemed to her as if it were day. After chasing each other with the golden thread snake for a while, Shi Rou found that there were fewer places to stay around, and there were traces of the corrosion of the fishy venom everywhere, and a trace of black gas rose into the air.
Shi Rou felt a flower in front of her, and she was a little dizzy, terrible! She unknowingly absorbed some poisonous gas!
No, you have to do it quickly.
Shi Rou didn't hesitate any longer, jumped behind a thick tree, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", the big tree was hit by venom several times one after another, large chunks of the trunk were corroded and dented, black smoke rose up, and an unpleasant smell came out.
Shi Rou held her breath, raised her sword and quickly aimed at the trunk of the tree and slashed hundreds of times!
Rumble!!!
The aura of the wind swept thousands of pieces of wood of different sizes and smashed into the head of the swift golden thread snake, and a small light flashed away in all the wooden blocks.
How could an attack of this magnitude bring substantial damage to the Golden Thread Snake?
The speed of the golden thread snake did not slow down in the slightest, and it disdainfully broke through the wooden block array with the snake's head, but suddenly felt a strong crisis enveloping the top of his head. However, it was too late to dodge.
"Qiang ——!!!"
The twin swords of ice and fire that were mixed in the wooden block array by Shi Rou finally hit the snake's eye and exploded with a bang.
Suddenly, a huge blood frame appeared on its face, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
The golden-threaded snake was in pain, and suddenly raised its head and let out a sharp "sizzle" chirp. In this way, its abdomen was completely presented in front of Shi Rou's eyes.
Where would Shi Rou let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? The figure flashed, and it had come to the belly of the snake, the ice sword was pushed to the extreme by her, the sharp cold light flashed, and the belly of the snake was cut into a hole nearly two meters long, and blood splattered out.
With a successful blow, Shi Rou immediately retreated, her purpose was not to kill this spirit beast, but to avoid the heart part. Otherwise, if the cut just now is confirmed, the golden thread snake will definitely die.
However, to Shi Rou's horror, the speed of the seriously injured golden thread snake did not decrease but increased, and when she just landed and was about to rest, it accurately bit in front of her with a thunderous speed.
Caught off guard, Shi Rou instinctively pressed the sword against the mouth of the snake, but the whole person was hit by the huge force of the snake body and flew backwards, but he grabbed the ice sword and didn't let go!
This is a magic weapon given to her by Mu Liuyun, and she will never want it to die in the belly of a snake unless it is absolutely necessary!
Under the severe pain, the golden snake was already frantic at this time, and wanted to bite Shi Rou to death in a frenzy, but was pressed against his upper and lower jaws by a sword, and kept rushing up and down in the forest.
Shi Rou felt like she was being shaken, and her back kept hitting the branches and gravel of the trees.
Seeing that the golden snake had a tendency to spit venom again, she gritted her teeth, sacrificed another fire sword, and stabbed it towards the mouth of the snake.
Just listen to "Boom! With a muffled sound, the fire sword erupted into terrifying flames, and the snake's body was castrated.
Sensing that the strength of the golden thread snake biting the sword body seemed to be weak, Shi Rou hurriedly drew his sword and retreated, but he was still half spilled by the blood spurting from the snake's mouth.
She immediately retreated, and in the process of retreating, she watched the remaining golden pupils of the golden thread snake continue to dilate, and finally "bang", the entire snake body fell to the ground, and there was no more sound.
