Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blood-Patterned Black Python in the Black Water Pool II
The six men stopped at the same time, stopping behind a row of large trees, each hiding their figures. The foliage of this row of trees is luxuriant, but each leaf is a dark green color, and the veins on the leaf surface are close to black. Both the trunk and the branches were a dignified dark brown, and there were at least two or three dark holes in the middle of the trunk of each tree, and from the outside, nothing could be seen.
In front of the trees is a large clearing. It is said to be an open space, but in fact it is just a piece of land without trees and shrubs. The ground was covered with withered yellow grass, layer after layer, and there was no gap in sight, and as far as the eye could see, only waves of dark yellow waves could be seen, and a dozen long purple-brown figures on it.
Beyond this clearing, there is a thick dark gray mountain wall. * The psychedelic vines are entangled above the rocks, covering almost all the visible area of the mountain wall. The vines were covered with dark yellow psychedelic flowers, sowing pale yellow pollen from time to time, blending in with the surrounding fog - of course, Ye Hengyuan and the others still couldn't figure out how they could scatter pollen when there was no wind.
Beneath the mountain wall, there is a mountain crevice. That's where the sound of running water comes from. A stream of water about the size of an adult's forearm is slowly flowing down the middle of the mountain and into a pool between the clearing and the mountain wall. But amazingly, the water turned out to be black, as black as ink. It looks like a pool for washing pens in the backyard of a great calligrapher. If it weren't for the faint sound of the water stirring up by the flow into the pool, no one would have thought it was a stagnant pool.
"What kind of water is that?" Xue Mengyi frowned, "Could it be poisonous in it?"
"It's dark water," Ji Chengdong said, "water affected by the dark element." Under this mountain wall, there must be a dark attribute Heaven and Earth Yuan Force. This water is water that has undergone a mutation after being filled with dark elements. It doesn't have to be poisonous, but there must be a dark force. There may also be water attribute or dark attribute spirit beasts inside. Except for people with water attribute and dark attribute, no one else should touch it, otherwise it will be harmful to the body. ”
"Then we have to hurry," Ye Hengyuan stretched out his hand, gently brushing aside a cluster of branches and leaves in front of him, his eyes scanning the open space in front of him as quickly as two beams of light, "And make as little noise as possible." If you alarm the spirit beasts in that pool, you may be in trouble. ”
"There are eighteen in total," Fan Junfeng said, "and the strongest ones are no more than the second and third order." There are no martens among them. ”
Yes, the eighteen purple-brown figures in the open space in front of them were the brown martens that Ye Hengyuan and the others were looking for. They are light brown all over, with the exception of a head-to-head purple pattern on their backs. Most of them hide among the dark yellow grass, lying on their stomachs on the ground, standing still, as if resting. Occasionally, one of them moved, but it moved to another direction in a few moments, and there was no obvious movement, and there was no movement. Without careful observation, it is difficult to spot them by beings of the same rank as them. Among them, there are no pitch-black martens.
"Get ready!" Ye Hengyuan said in a low voice, "Hurry up!"
Including Leng Han, the six people released the martial spirit and the spirit circle at the same time. A faint layer of turquoise fluctuations spread from Ye Hengyuan's body, enveloping him and his teammates' bodies. The sound of releasing the martial spirit and the spirit circle was forcibly controlled within the range of this layer of fluctuations, and was not transmitted outward.
This skill is called Air Condensation, and it is a collective name for a series of moves that condense air. What Ye Hengyuan can use at present is only the most basic soundproofing skills recorded in the booklet given by Qiu Bai. This is because he has just risen one level, so he can barely use it.
"It's only eighteen?" Ji Chengdong also followed Ye Hengyuan's example, and glanced at the brown mink group in front of him, "It's still not enough?
"Don't think about it so much," Fan Junfeng rolled his eyes, "Let's solve this batch first." ”
"Guys," Leng Han lowered his voice, "I can help you restrain them. Hurry up. Directly attack them in the head. It's better to attack only a little. ”
"Good!"
After only a few sounds, I saw six shadows flashing, and six people rushed out from behind the tree at the same time.
Rushing to the front was Wang He. He kicked the ground with his right foot, jumped high, and slammed his tiger striped shield into the ground with both hands. A maroon seismic wave spread out from the center of the barbed shield, and it took only a few breaths to envelop the entire brown marten herd. All the brown martens froze in place, and their bodies began to tremble.
Leng Han also made a move. He raised his right arm high, swung the ice knife in his hand, and stabbed the ground three times in succession. A layer of blue-white light poured out along the blade of the Ice Blade, spreading out from itself as the origin, and it only took a few breaths to spread to the entire brown marten herd. Each brown marten has an extra layer of ice blue on its body.
"Up!"
Ye Hengyuan shouted and took the lead in rushing towards the farthest few brown minks. Xue Mengyi and Ji Chengdong rushed to the other two.
All the brown martens froze in place, unresponsive, and didn't even have time to resist. The only thing they are good at is speed, and in addition, whether it is attack or defense, it is far from being comparable to the silver tooth wolf of the same level. If it weren't for the fact that they escaped a few points faster than the silver-toothed wolves, they would have been wiped out by the greedy poachers. It is precisely because of this that the Cangling Kingdom has legislated that only officially approved hunters can hunt more than a dozen mink spirit animals, including brown martens.
Ye Hengyuan waved Fang Tian's halberd with both hands, drawing a pale green circle in front of him. More than a dozen white and green air arrows about the thickness of three fingers erupted from the circle and flew towards several brown mink in front of them. This qi arrow was not only condensed by his own spiritual power, but also condensed by the wind element gathered in the circle of spiritual power that he had just drawn. With his current cultivation, he can send out a maximum of twenty paths at a time.
Xue Mengyi was suspended in the air, and a faint golden light was enveloped in her body. Colorful bright stones surrounded her slender waist, alternately flashing with colorful light. Seven golden rays of light as thick as an adult man's arm shot out from the inner layers of the seven gems and shot towards the heads of the seven brown martens.
Ji Chengdong raised his hands high and kept doing a movement similar to washing clothes. The bowl swelled again, but it didn't change direction, it only swelled horizontally. A huge jet of water in the shape of a fountain gushed straight upwards from the holy water bowl and continued to rise to about three meters, and then burst out more than a dozen water arrows of length and width like the forearms of an adult man, flying towards the eight brown martens in front of him. Not all of his arrows were aimed at the head, but a significant portion of them were aimed at the back and even the buttocks of the brown marten.
Listening only to a series of explosions and cracks, the brown martens were beaten to pieces. Each one was either dead or wounded. Their blood was not brown, but a dark red like a human. Blood splattered everywhere, staining almost the entire meadow red. Only two slightly stronger brown martens broke free from this series of attacks and two restricted skills, and rushed straight to Wang He in the middle of the group. They also had two wounds on their bodies.
"Knock! knock!" the swollen tiger-striped spur shield flew out in response, and collided twice, knocking the two brown martens that flew backwards and flew out. The spikes on the shield also left two deep scratches on their heads. In the next second, two chilling ice picks pierced their throats.
The battle was soon over. All eighteen brown martens fell to the ground. The crowd hadn't even made much of a move.
"Huh-" Ji Chengdong pretended to be very tired, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his forehead, "That's it?" I thought it would be a little difficult?"
"Don't pretend here, okay?" Fan Junfeng rolled his eyes, "If you don't do it, you won't die." You hurry up and pack them up. ”
"Hmm. Ji Chengdong agreed, took out the red box, and began to absorb the corpse of the brown mink. The other five were all scattered, standing in place, slowly recovering their spiritual powers. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the body of the brown marten on the ground, and no one noticed that a series of tiny bubbles began to bubble out of the black pool behind them.
Xue Mengyi squatted down lightly and gently touched the fur of a brown mink. The brown marten was killed by a direct headshot from the light of the Colorful Bright Stone, and its fur did not suffer much damage. With a good tailor, it can be transformed into a noble robe, or a skull.
"My sisters have several of these mink coats. I'll be buying one soon, too. ”
"Poof!" a loud noise suddenly sounded. A black figure as thick as a tree trunk suddenly emerged from the black pool, making a large black splash. It directly opened its bloody mouth, revealing two teeth like sharp blades, and bit down on Xue Mengyi, who was closest to the waterhole.
"Little dream!" Ye Hengyuan exclaimed, his body rushed out like a cannonball, but instead of attacking the figure, he directly opened his arms and hugged Xue Mengyi's body.
Except for Ji Chengdong, the other three people were also stunned for a moment, and at the same time subconsciously released a spiritual power wave towards the figure. Their martial spirits were also re-released.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the head of the black figure slammed into the ground, creating an oval-shaped pit. Ye Hengyuan's body was also swept up by this impact, and he rolled out with Xue Mengyi in his arms. The three colors of spiritual power waves all hit its head, but they only made a little sound, and did not cause any damage to it.
"Brother Hengyuan!" Xue Mengyi had just reacted, only to feel that her body was carried up and flyed, as well as the tall figure in front of her. She involuntarily opened her arms and hugged Ye Hengyuan's waist.
"Uh......" Ye Hengyuan forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood in his throat, quickly let go of Xue Mengyi, and got up from the ground with a turn. The dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd reappeared in his hand.
It was also at this time that everyone really saw the black figure clearly.
It was a snake. A huge black python. Its head alone was already as big as a small water tank, and its body was a few points thicker than the trunk of the largest tree that Ye Hengyuan had seen before. Above its triangular head, there were two small, blood-red eyes. Its entire body is covered in black scales, and every two scales have blood-red lines at the junction. Its exposed body alone was at least three or four meters long. The snake kiss in its mouth is also blood-red, making a non-stop "hissing" sound and spewing out a faint black mist
