Chapter 199: Snake Turns Jiao, Jiao Turns Dragon (II)
The atmosphere inside the tomb was dead.
Xing Chang and Jiao San held the miner's lamp in their hands, and subconsciously held their breath, for fear of making some big noise, waking up the python that was in the process of demutation.
Especially Jiao San, an inexplicable fear in his heart is very strong.
There are many people who believe that there is 'blood suppression' in nature.
But there are also those who oppose this view, arguing that it is an instinctive expression of self-preservation by feeling danger.
But in any case, some people have a natural fear of something.
For example, some people are naturally afraid of rats or snakes.
It just so happens that Jiao San is this kind of person.
Jiao Sansheng has a fear of snakes in his life, even if he shuttles between the two worlds of yin and yang, steals tombs for half his life, has seen countless corpses, and has dealt with zongzi many times, he has not overcome his fear of snakes.
Every time the mound is dug up, in fact, the most taboo thing for Jiao San is not to encounter the dumpling of the corpse, but to encounter the snake.
Regarding this, Xu Tianchuan also knows now.
I saw Jiao San at this time looking at the python in front of him, his dark face turned white, and the beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans fell down his cheeks, and he felt that the whole person was completely empty.
Just now, Jiao San also plucked up great courage and jumped down from it.
If Xu Tianchuan hadn't opened his mouth and changed to a second person, Jiao San would probably not have jumped down if he died.
"It shouldn't take long for this python to turn into a dragon!"
Xu Tianchuan also subconsciously took a deep breath.
The python's huge head bulged out into a large bag.
And this big bag has been scabbed into a hard shell, under the illumination of the miner's lamp, you can clearly see that the scabbed bag has regrown two small sharp corners like the tips of bamboo shoots that have just broken through the ground.
The long horn on the forehead is the biggest distinguishing feature between snakes and Jiao.
Snake Jiao!
Xu Tianchuan never dreamed that he would see the scene of a real snake turning into a Jiao in his lifetime.
"So, there really are dragons in the world?"
This may be a bit of a stretch.
But one thing is obvious, although the python has the blood of the Rui Beast and the Dragon, it is actually the cold-blooded nature of the snake, and it is a vicious beast.
If it truly completes its transformation, it will definitely be a nightmare for all living beings.
I can just eliminate harm for the people and be a 'dragon slayer warrior'.
"Uncle, look at its heart, it seems to be still beating!"
Xing Chang looked at the python's seven inches and called out in a low voice.
As the old saying goes, 'Hit a snake seven inches', because the heart of a snake is seven inches from its forehead.
Of course, this 'seven inches' is not an accurate positioning, but only the ratio of the head to the heart.
Although this python is coiled, it is nearly twenty meters long, so the position of the heart is four or five meters away from the head.
Xu Tianchuan also noticed that under the black scales that have completed the degeneration, the newly grown soft scales are very tender, as if a film is covering them, so you can clearly see that the heart of the python is beating, but because the process of transformation takes a long time, it is also like entering a state of hibernation at this time, and the body's metabolism has undergone huge changes, basically even if the metabolism has stopped, so the heart only beats weakly every ten minutes.
This also made Xu Tianchuan more relieved.
At this time, this python is completely like a fat pig to be slaughtered.
Such a big bargain, where to pick it up?
So Xu Tianchuan didn't talk nonsense, holding the Youtian Sword in one hand, he was decisive, jumped on the python's coiled body, rushed to the position where the python's heart was beating in a few steps, and raised the Youtian Sword high, and slashed it with all his strength.
Sonor!
The sharp and sturdy Heavenly Sword slashed at the black scales wrapped around the python's exterior, making a sonorous sound, and a string of sparks splashed in an instant, and the crisp echo echoed through the walls of the tomb.
But the layer of black scales on the python's body that had degenerated was actually harder than he imagined, comparable to a hundred refining meteoric iron, and under a string of sparks splashing around, only an inconspicuous sword mark was left on the python's black scales.
"it!"
Xu Tianchuan looked at this sword mark and couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.
Obviously, the scales have completely degenerated from the python's body, and they are still so hard.
It seems that what the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says is correct.
This python is really full of treasures!
If you take off all the scales of such a large python, how many pieces of dragon scale armor can be made?
It's a lot more than playing with antiques.
"Uncle, wake up! Wake up! ”
With the hardness of these scales, it will definitely not work to cut hard, that is, when Xu Tianchuan was about to think of other methods, Xing Chang not far away suddenly exclaimed.
Xu Tianchuan's subconscious spirit lifted, and he immediately raised his head to look at the python's head.
I saw that the python's originally closed eyes had been opened.
The eyes on both sides of the osprey were as large as two lanterns, emitting yellow light, and a long black narrow pupil in the middle seemed to be a canyon crack leading to hell, revealing cold and deep, and at the same time, with a powerful momentum, shrouded in.
The dragon awakens!
The eyes that the python opened made Xu Tianchuan's first thought of these four words!
It is worthy of a python with dragon blood, just by this look, you can feel an indescribable huge momentum, and at the same time, it also has the cold murderous aura of cold blood.
It's no wonder that Chang Chang is so excited.
But after all, Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang both have the bloodline of the divine beast, even if there is really such a thing as bloodline suppression in this world, then in front of the bloodline of the divine beast, it is also a little brother of a string of bloodlines crossed by a dragon, so Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang did not feel the slightest fear in their hearts, and the reason why they were nervous was because they sensed the potential danger.
Awareness of danger and fear are two different things.
But Jiao San is different.
The moment the python woke up and opened his eyes, Jiao San, who already had a natural fear of snakes, had the last trace of stubbornness in his heart was completely disintegrated, and he sat directly on the ground with a murderous look in the python's cold eyes.
"Don't panic! The outer skin of the python has completely degenerated, and the new skin has just grown, this stage is its weakest time, and it should not pose much of a threat to us! ”
Xu Tianchuan immediately shouted loudly to stabilize the scene.
Although I am not an animal expert, I have not studied the growth and changes of snakes, and I don't know anything about snakes, but I can roughly guess according to the current situation.
Otherwise, the people of Yuntian Dao would not have taken great pains to help the python arrange such an environment to carry out the process of transformation, let alone wait until such a sword was cut down to force the python to wake up.
Truly!
The python that woke up opened a pair of lantern-sized eyes, but the body coiled on the moire stone platform still did not move at all, but it was obvious that the frequency of the heart had become faster, from once every ten minutes before to the current frequency of beating once every ten seconds, and the beating was very obvious, and even the skin of the body bulged up every time it beated.
This shows that the python's newborn body is more tender than a newborn baby, and its outer layer of degenerated black scales is actually equivalent to its only life saver now!
As long as you break this layer of scales on its body, even a small wooden stick can poke it to death.
Since it doesn't work with chopping, let's change the way!
The scales on the python's body are exactly the same as those on the fish's body, stacked on top of each other, completely covering the entire body, each scale is the size of two palms, and the form is semi-oval.
Taking advantage of the fact that the python did not move, Xu Tianchuan held the sword again, and slashed the Youtian Sword in his hand at an eighty-degree oblique angle, and slashed it against the gap in the scales covered by the python.
It's like scraping fish scales.
Since it can't be cut, then scrape off the layers of scales covered by it!
Sonor!
The finger-wide blade of the Heavenly Sword was stuck under the gap in the scales, but it didn't have the same refreshing feeling as scraping fish scales, although the whole shell had been molted from the python's body, it was still incredibly strong.
Drink......
Xu Tianchuan changed to holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, stepped on the python's body and shouted again, and tilted the Heavenly Sword stuck under the gap in the scales upward.
Who said that giving a fulcrum can pry the earth?
Completely prying.
It seems to be an indestructible copper and iron armor without the slightest flaw.
The executioner next to him also jumped up immediately, unfolded the steel fan in his hand, and put it under the same scale, and riveted all his strength to pry it up with Xu Tianchuan, but there was still no reaction.
It's a shame that the python is still motionless at this time, if it is not at the peak of transformation, with the scales of this body, it is basically equivalent to an invincible existence.
"Uncle, no!"
Xing Chang turned his head and shouted at Xu Tianchuan anxiously.
But before Xing Chang's words had completely fallen, the python's huge head suddenly lifted up, and a pair of green eyes followed suit, and the long and narrow black pupils like cracks emitted a deep cold light staring at Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang's bodies.
In the next second, the python's originally coiled body shook for a while, and the snake tail at the back cocked up, and swept towards Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang.
"Be careful!"
Xu Tianchuan was the first to react, grabbed Xing Chang and rushed down the moire stone platform.
Thundered......
The python's tail happened to hit a circular dragon stone pillar next to it, and the force was very great, knocking down this stone pillar in an instant, and the shattered bluestone flew out.
Doesn't it mean that the python that is in the process of metamorphosis at this time is also the time when the body is at its weakest, like a dead pig, and will not resist?
It is true that the body is at its weakest, but it does not mean that the body is weak and will not resist!
Xu Tianchuan could clearly see that under the violent tail flick sweep, the tail of the python hit the dragon stone pillar fiercely, and the soft scales that had just grown out of its tail had a violent friction with the black scales that had degenerated outside, causing a large piece of the soft scales that had just grown out to be damaged, and black-brown blood flowed out.
Obviously, this is a dog jumping off the wall!
