Chapter 17: The Five-Step Snake and the Mastiff
His eyes turned to the young May Day.
After a catastrophe in his life, the young May Day could also predict that the golden zombie like a little girl must be related to the black cannon woman who played the willow leaf flute. However, he did not have time to pay attention to the little girl at the moment, so he immersed himself in meditation and entered into an intense recuperation.
Sitting cross-legged in a valley, the young man absorbed the essence of the stars and the moon, spit out the old and accepted the new, accumulated abundant true vitality in his body, and accelerated the wriggling of flesh and blood. He guides the flow of true qi in the meridians, opens up the best points one by one, and explores novel veins.
At the beginning of the rising sun, he stood on the top of the mountain, facing the east, wantonly swaying his martial arts skills, and his moves were clouded by the air of wind and clouds;
Day after day, the boy devoted himself to recuperation, and the rotten flesh of his body had fallen off, and new flesh had regenerated. His breath was long, completely clearing the stagnant qi from his internal organs. On his back, the former Xuanming palm prints and dark red marks had gradually faded, and his skin was glowing.
The injury was completely healed, and the young man's internal strength was also slightly stronger, and his martial arts skills were more refined. The boy made such progress because he had been here for a year...... Autumn, winter, spring and summer, the four seasons cycle and change, and the clouds on the horizon are even more changeable.
A year has passed, and the height of the teenager is more upright, but it is not at all as tall as the sickness after performing the bone shrinking skill.
His eyes were wise and reflective of a condensation of spiritual power that transcended his years, and his physical senses became more and more acute, as if there was a trace of invisible wind lingering on his body.
The hissing sound of the snake sucking suddenly sounded, making the scalp tingle, and the five-step snake came out of the weeds, and it swam around the young man's legs with its snake body, and crawled upwards with all its might, and it habitually wrapped itself around the young man's arm.
A year has passed, and the body of this five-step snake has not grown at all, but the color of the snake's body has deepened a lot, and the most obvious thing is its triangular head, which shows a more hideous momentum, and its eyes are fierce from time to time.
Looking at the five-step snake, the muscles of the young man's cheeks relaxed, and he grinned - in this year, the young man and the five-step snake have been companions and never give up, and the affection of the young man is not good at expressing it, just a smile is enough.
Hiss~~
The five-step snake rolled its eyes fiercely, it had seen the smiling face of the teenager many times during the year, but it had scoffed at it. Perhaps it was due to the coldness of the young man's temperament, and the young man's smiling face was reflected in the eyes of the five-step snake, which was full of weird smirks.
Giggle a fart, the fifth master prefers actual actions...... The five-step snake swayed and crawled down the young man's body, and it swayed three times, swaying into the weeds.
The young man smiled and followed the five-step snake forward.
Many times in the past, the five-step snake once provoked a huge black blind man, and once fought to the death to kill a wolf mastiff...... There is no way, the five-step snake is arrogant, and for a very powerful opponent, it can only seek the help of the young man.
There was a fishy smell ahead, it was the smell of a wild beast, or rather, a fierce beast lying in front of it. The young man's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced down at the small five-step snake leading the way in front of him.
The one-meter-long five-step snake, with its deep scales, was getting closer to the beast in front of it, and the five-step snake radiated a kind of aura, and its triangular head became more and more formidable - like a fierce bandit!
Creak......
A black shadow in front of him quickly ran, and a half-meter-tall mastiff appeared in view. This mastiff was encountered by the five-step snake during a wandering, and the staring of a snake and a dog with big eyes and small eyes miraculously joined the same stream.
It was precisely because of this mastiff that the five-step snake collided with the ferocious large mastiff in a general manner, but the result was that the little mastiff was almost bitten to death alive. However, after the injury healed, this snake and dog became more high-spirited and arrogant, often harassing large fierce beasts.
When the mastiff saw the boy and the five-step snake, its head gently rubbed the boy's legs and feet, and after making a silent communication with the five-step snake, they ran forward together...... Similarly, the mastiff's expression was solemn, and his eyes scattered waves of grim light.
A man, a snake and a dog, they brought a slight sound of the ground rubbing, and quietly approached the unknown beast in front of them.
The smell is getting stronger, and the woods are getting denser.
It appeared, and it was a safflower-colored python about twelve meters long and about the thickness of a bucket.
In the back mountain of the dilapidated mountain temple, there is such a ferocious beast, it is enough to see that the dilapidated mountain temple is very likely to be related to it, and the young man preliminarily estimates that this python should be dozens of years old.
It's no wonder that five-step snakes and mastiffs have a rare grim posture.
Hiss~~~
The python hissed, the wind rolled upside down, and the flowers and leaves fell.
The snake's body was long, nearly ten feet long, the scales the size of a palm covered the entire body, shining brightly, its eyes were tyrannical, its fangs were sharp, and its red tongue was shocking.
The snake clan has a keen sense of smell, and as soon as the boy and the five-step snake and mastiff appear at a distance of twenty zhang from it, it already senses abnormality. It turned its head, its murderous eyes staring at the outsiders who had infiltrated the territory, making no secret of the murderous intent within.
Hiss~~~
Roar......
The five-step snake and the mastiff stepped forward, and this time with the backing of the boy, these two little beasts were full of confidence. They let out a wild scream and pounced on the red python first.
A one-meter-long five-step snake and a half-meter-high mastiff, these two little beasts fearlessly slammed into the huge red python, making the boy feel like a mayfly shaking a tree.
Although the two beasts were as swift as the wind, they could not give the red python any effective wounds, and they could not break through the scale armor of the red python. On the contrary, in the counterattack of the safflower python, they are full of dangers, and if they are not careful, they are in danger of being swallowed alive, and even if the python's tail sweeps, the fierce force is enough to crush the bones of the two beasts.
The grandeur of the five-step snake and the fearlessness of the mastiff seem to have the potential of the king of beasts, but their bodies are too small, and their bodies are obviously disproportionate to the safflower python. The red python opened its bloody mouth and bit the mastiff fiercely, and its swallowing power almost swallowed the mastiff.
Woo...... A large boulder was projected quickly, and the whimper sound of breaking the wind was also made when it shuttled in the wind. The boulder slammed into the python's skull, and its massive body tumbled out.
"Roaring ......"
The red python slammed into the torso of a large tree, stopping the rolling. The python shook its dizzy head, screamed in pain, and looked at the young man not far away with a pair of bronze bell-sized eyes, shooting a cruel light.
The python's senses are keen, and it can feel the mysterious power hidden in the young man's body before, and it does not want to be hostile to the young man, after all, the world of cultivation is extremely deep and undetectable.
Now that the boy's attack has arrived, it has no choice but to fight back with cruelty - the python swallows!
Call...... The red python opened its bloody mouth and suddenly sent out a terrifying swallowing force at the young man. The innate skill of the python vein, its ability to swallow is indeed extremely strong. However, when the red flower python opened its mouth to swallow, the young May Day left the place like a whirlwind, and he showed lightning footwork, and his figure was like a ghost.
The young man stepped urgently, he bullied himself behind the python, his arms clamped the python's tail like iron hoops, and his waist exerted force, he picked up the entire body of the red flower python like a strong man, and threw it far away.
The five-step snake and mastiff not far away were dumbfounded, and the young man's arms worked and picked up the behemoth red python, such a great power and majestic posture were deeply imprinted in their hearts. At that moment, they seemed to feel a series of laser currents burst out around the young man's body, setting off the young man's heroic figure.
The huge safflower python slammed into a big tree in a parabolic trajectory, breaking the trunk with a click, and the body bones of the python were smashed alive.
The red python fell to the ground, its expression was gloomy, the snake's body rolled and twisted, it hummed and chirped, and kept moaning.
A whirlwind swirled quickly, and the young man took out his palm like a knife, and the palm of his right hand pierced deeply into the body of the red python seven inches.
"Roaring ......"
The red flower python tossed and roared, but as the blood continued to erupt, its howling and struggle became more and more weak, and finally it was dying and withdrawing from heaven and earth.
Hiss~~~
Barking......
The five-step snake and the mastiff jumped for joy, and when they saw that the red flower python was killed, they rushed quickly and launched a ravaging bite on the dead body of the python...... The young man looked at the huge python's body, its eyes suddenly moved, and it walked forward quickly, and its right hand clawed fiercely through the python's chest and abdomen.
After a period of groping and searching, the boy took out a bloody sarcoma from the belly of the python - snake gall bladder. With such a big python, its snake gall is definitely comparable to a panacea, and the young man threw the snake gall to the five-step snake with a shake of his hand.
Ya, kill the snake to get the guts, I'm not welcome, the fifth master...... The five-step snake glanced vigilantly at the mastiff on the side, and immediately began to swallow excitedly. The snake's body is flexible, and its natural skills are even more amazing, the five-step snake faced the round snake gall, and finally took half an hour to swallow the snake gall into its belly.
However, its entire snake body was almost deformed, and its body was stretched in a circle...... opened its mouth and burped loudly, and the neck of the five-step snake was crooked, and it instantly fell into a deep sleep.
Witnessing the snake gall swallowed by the five-step snake, the mastiff on the side barked a few times, and then it pounced on the body of the red python in anger and began to gnaw fiercely. The heart, liver, kidneys, cerebral medulla, ...... of pythons They were all eaten by mastiffs.
The flesh and blood of the red flower python* was full of fishy smell, and it soon attracted other beasts, as well as a few vultures...... However, it was only because of this that a young man stopped to linger, and the beasts that came did not dare to grab food unscrupulously, and wandered around the periphery one after another.
"Whew......"
The mastiff suddenly let out an excited howl, and after it spared no effort to destroy the python's body, it actually found a dozen round snake eggs.
Like a treasure, the mastiff was savagely devastated, and its gobbling posture also had the characteristics of an arrogant bandit.
The little mastiff's flesh grew more and more, and it finally let out a howl and fell to the ground.
The beasts on the periphery gathered more and more, and the huge python body constituted a strong temptation to the beasts in the mountains and forests, lions, tigers, wolves, leopards...... The beast's eyes glowed green, and they tried their best to suppress their impulses.
The boy witnessed all this, this is the world of the jungle of the jungle, when the red flower python is not dead, how dare these jungle beasts set foot here? Although the boy has some feelings, but he can't do anything - to live in this world, he naturally has to follow such a law of survival!
His figure flickered and swept beside the body of the red anaconda, and he collected pieces of scale armor...... Then, the boy flew away with the mastiff and the five-step snake.
Traveling in the wind, he turned his head to look back, and the beasts on the periphery had already swarmed into the flesh of the red flower python, tearing apart the blood and bones, and gnawing on the flesh......
After nearly a year, the boy came to the mountain temple again, and this place was once the place where he encountered a crisis of life and death. The blood pool on the side of the hall had dried up, and a square steel cage was upside down in the pool.
The young man's face was calm, without sorrow or joy, he glanced at the steel cage, and then sat cross-legged on the ground. He put down the five-step snake and the mastiff, his hands gently pressed on the abdomen of the two beasts, and the two true vitality slowly crossed into their **.
The safflower python, which has survived for a hundred years, not only contains abundant essence and vitality in its **, but also in its snake gall bladder, viscera, and snake eggs, it is full of heaven and earth spiritual power, as well as toxins that are enough to kill. The five-step snake and mastiff dogs fearlessly devoured so much spiritual power, and the result was bound to be harmful and useless.
And the young man is to refine the huge and complex energy in it with his own true qi, and guide the spiritual power to cut their hair and marrow, and quench their flesh and bones.
The process was slow, and the boy closed his eyes silently, his mind dividing himself into two things, feeling the situation of the two beasts. However, this practice is effective, the spiritual power of heaven and earth has been refined, and a steady stream of hot blood energy has overflowed to the entire body of the two beasts, like a spring breeze and rain, the hot blood energy stimulates their physical bodies, the two hearts beat strongly, their blood flows faster, and the meridians and blood vessels relax and contract...... Their breathing is even, and their snorts are longer.
For ten days in a row, the young man continued to refine the heaven and earth spiritual power in the bodies of the two beasts, slowly guiding the spiritual power to spread, unclogging blood vessels, opening up the meridians, and helping them silently step into the threshold of cultivation. A layer of black impurities expelled their **, and some fishy odors also spilled into the air.
The boy opened his eyes, his body fluttering, and he glanced at the five-step snake and mastiff that were still sleeping, and his tense face faded into coldness. Under the operation of the fate of heaven and earth, a person, a snake and a dog met like this, and he should cherish it.
The boy turned his head to look at the pool of blood, the steel cage quietly buckled upside down, and the steel was already stained with rust. Once trapped in the cage of the lion tiger, he almost died in it, how could he forget this grudge?
The young man's hands were slightly attached to the internal force, and he waved his palms and suddenly slapped them at the junction of the steel and iron pestles, again and again...... He was going to dismantle the steel cage alive and return it to the mysterious man who had attacked him.
Day after day, the dilapidated mountain temple was filled with the sound of slapping from time to time, and it was not until a few days later that the sound gradually faded away. Nearly twenty days later, the sound of hissing snakes and the barking of dogs sounded in the ruined temple.
Looking at the two beasts in front of them, the five-step snake and the mastiff dog had been tempered by the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and their bodies had grown slightly. The five-step snake's scales are darker, while the mastiff's mane is shiny - both pairs of eyes are blazing, and they are clearly quite spiritual.
