It was another half moon that passed in a hurry, and there was little greenery on the main peak, but the pines and cypresses on the top of the peak were still standing in the cold wind, standing still.

The night in late autumn became long and cold, and on the main peak of Hupo Mountain, in the dense forest halfway up the mountainside, next to a lit bonfire, Liu Chen and Xu Yan were eating barbecue while chatting in small lines, enjoying a rare peaceful time.

In the past half month, the two of them have forgotten about life and death, fighting every day, and being strong every day. The sword in the opponent is becoming more and more handy, and the cultivation is also progressing rapidly.

Liu Chen has opened fifty-nine Xuanmen in these days, which is equivalent to a forging body five-grade monk who has opened nine doors to enter the forging body, which can not be said to be not powerful. If you open the ninety-nine Xuanmen, as soon as you enter the forging realm, it will be comparable to the peak of the forging realm of the monks who opened the nine gates.

The improvement of his cultivation even allowed him to reluctantly use a sword technique of the lower grade of the Xuan Rank, and the sword technique of three questions. Although he could only barely urge the first question of the sword trick, ask the sword. But it is also several times stronger than half a month ago.

Yellow-level martial arts usually have only one move, while martial arts that enter the Xuan level and above have a change in the number of moves, and the difficulty of learning is greatly improved.

Normally, Xuan-level martial arts can only be barely activated by the Qi Realm above the Forging Body Realm, and it is really incredible that Liu Chen can perform one and a half moves without stepping into the Forging Body.

Compared with Liu Chen, Xu Yan's cultivation was slightly weaker, and he only opened fifty-six Xuanmen. However, his overall progress has been even greater, from a half-baked monk with no foundation to a master of martial arts and fierce sword skills.

Liu Chen didn't know the way of the sword, but he just taught Xu Yan a lot of fighting skills. But Xu Yan's own sword talent is extraordinary, and in Liu Chen's opinion, it is simply terrifying. Without a knife technique, he actually created a knife technique. Although it is relatively simple, in Liu Chen's opinion, it has also reached the level of the Yellow Order martial arts.

What's even more terrifying is that Xu Yan really got a comprehension from the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique, the Eight Extremes Sword Dao. You must know that the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique cannot be mastered unless the power of the Concentration Realm!

The eight-pole sword path is secretly combined with Taoist gossip, containing yin and yang, and there are eight styles, each with its own merits. Xu Yan didn't master a few of the moves, but realized a knife intent from them, fierce and domineering.

A few days ago, I met the wolves led by the Ice Spirit Wolf again, and saw the ill-intentioned gaze of the Ice Spirit Wolf. Xu Yan unfolded this sword intent, and in an instant, those ordinary gray wolves touched the ground with their front knees, and they were pressed to their knees by this momentum, which made the ice spirit wolves jealous and did not dare to do anything, so they had to lead the wolves to retreat.

It's just that the two of them are not good at cultivation after all, although they have their own tricks to pressure the box, but once they show it, if they don't solve the battle quickly, they will soon be weak and weak, so they can only sit and wait to die.

"During this period of time, we have completed the expected plan ahead of schedule, and our cultivation has improved a lot, most of the herbs we need have been collected, and the valuable items on the beast are almost out of place."

Liu Chen smiled as he glanced at the large baskets placed on his side, which were filled with herbs and valuable parts for hunting fierce beasts in the past half month.

When the two of them went out hunting during the day, they hid these things in a hidden place, and then took them out at night to count and sort them out.

"Tomorrow we only have two tasks, to pick the floating fragrance flower that we have been observing for a long time, which is the main medicine in the spiritual ointment I plan to make. Another thing is to kill the demon beast that guards the floating incense flower, the fire pattern python. Liu Chen turned his head to look at Xu Yan, his heart full of longing for the battle tomorrow.

"This will be our first battle with a monster, so we have to be careful. It's not too early tonight, so meditate early and kill that animal tomorrow in the best possible condition. Xu Yan nodded when he heard this, and said to Liu Chen.

Without further ado, the two of them hastily cleaned up, meditated cross-legged under the cold moonlight, and cultivated.

……

The next day, the sky and earth were gray and covered with hoarfrost.

Liu Chen and Xu Yan wiped their swords early, washed up, and hid the harvest of the half month, and then each carried an empty basket on their backs and walked towards a valley.

In about half an hour, the two arrived at their destination. It is a small valley, not large, sparsely planted, and in the center is a cold pool, exuding a biting chill.

The cold pool is crystal clear, and the red stone bottom is evenly distributed with brown patterns, which is quite beautiful.

On the almost vertical stone wall behind the cold pool, there is a sky blue six-petal flower, which still blooms beautifully even in such a cold late autumn. The flowers seemed to have a strange fragrance wafting, so that Liu Chen, who was far away on the other side of the cold pool, could smell it, and their hearts swayed.

"As expected, the flowers are blooming! Brother Xu, while the fire pattern python is not awake, I will go and pick the floating fragrance flower, and you are here to help me keep an eye on that evil animal."

Xu Yan nodded when he heard this, Liu Chen didn't say more, the thunder snake stepped forward, his figure flickered, and he bypassed the cold pool, but he didn't make any sound.

When he came to the stone wall, he saw that as soon as Liu Chen's feet were forced, he jumped up more than a zhang high, firmly grasped the vines on the stone wall, and quickly climbed up.

The process was smooth, and soon he came to the floating fragrance flower, Liu Chen smelled the fragrance of the flower, and couldn't help but be a little intoxicated. Taking a deep breath, pulling out the floating fragrance flower with all his might, and being happy about the future, Liu Chen's complexion suddenly changed.

Floral, gone!

"Hiss"

"It's not good, the beast is awake, Xu Yan, hold it back, I'll come down immediately!"

"Evil animal, grandpa is here, eat me and cut it for half a moon!"

Xu Yanyan heard that his footsteps moved, his spiritual power surged, and he slashed towards Hantan with a knife, using his self-created knife technique.

"Roar roar!"

Blood stained the cold pool, and a large red-skinned and brown-striped python hissed out of it. What is the bottom of the pool, it turns out to be the place where the fire pattern python is entrenched.

The colder the weather, although the fire pattern python is a demon beast, its cultivation is not profound, and there are still some signs of hibernation. Now it is only at noon that they wake up to hunt some prey, and then go back to sleep.

The floating incense flower is very beneficial to this fire pattern python, but it has always been just a flower bone flower, and the medicinal effect is not great. It had to stay here day and night, waiting for the flowers to bloom and swallow them in one gulp.

Who would have thought that as soon as it bloomed today, it would be taken away by these two human beings. Fortunately, once the floating fragrance flower is picked, it will no longer be fragrant. The two apparently didn't know it, but the scent of flowers dissipated, waking up the fire-streaked python.

What made the fire stripe python even more angry was that when the two humans saw it wake up, instead of running away in a panic, they dared to slash it with a knife that had just woken up and was groggy and couldn't escape.

The fire pattern python's eyes were full of scarlet with anger, and he opened his big mouth, regardless of Liu Chen, who was hanging on the rock wall, and bit towards Xu Yan, who had injured himself.

Seeing that this giant python, which was one zhang wide and nine zhang long, opened its fishy mouth and pounced on him, Xu Zhen's face did not change, his aura surged, he dodged left and right, and narrowly avoided the attack of the fire pattern python several times.

"Look at the sword!"

Liu Chen, who jumped off the cliff in a few steps, threw the back basket aside, performed a thunder snake step, and rushed towards the fire pattern python, leaving several sword marks on the giant python with one hand.

"No, this guy's skin is too thick, although my swordsmanship is more than dexterous, but it is not powerful enough" Liu Chen thought secretly in his heart, a little angry.

"Liu Chen, be careful!"

Just as Liu Chen was thinking, the huge snake head of the fire pattern python suddenly turned back one hundred and eighty degrees, biting him, and at the same time, the python's body twisted flexibly, wanting to entangle Liu Chen.

Shocked into a cold sweat! Liu Chen didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly urged the Thunder Snake step again, dodging the entanglement of the python's body, and dodging the huge mouth of the fire pattern python.

But at this moment, a mouthful of pale red smoke spit out from the mouth of the fire pattern python, and quickly enveloped Liu Chen, who had just stood still, this time he was not so lucky, and he just collided with the smoke.

Although Liu Chen quickly held his breath, he was still a step late and inhaled a little smoke.

This trace of smoke entered his abdomen, and he suddenly felt that his internal organs seemed to be burning, and the aura around his body was scurrying among the limbs and bones, making Liu Chen feel pain and unspeakable suffering, it was the strange poison of the fire pattern python, the evil fire poison!

Seeing this great urgency, Xu Yan hurriedly slashed out a few knives to divert the attention of the Fire Pattern Python who was about to continue attacking Liu Chen. The fire pattern python's vertical pupils were cold, and the python's body moved, quickly rushing towards Xu Yan.

Seeing the fire pattern python attacking, Xu Yan forced himself to calm down, and slashed out a few more knives, specifically attacking the snake tail and snake head. It's a pity that except for a few more blood marks, it still can't do much damage to the fire pattern python.

Delay until the aura is exhausted and the situation is critical! Xu Yan looked at Liu Chen, who was unable to fight and was suppressing the poison in his body not far away, gritted his teeth, and his eyes became firm. Urging all his spiritual energy, looking at the Tang knife in his hand, the world seemed to be quiet, only this one person stabbed.

Knife intent, condensation!

"Ding"

This mortal soldier actually sounded with the sound of a sword, and it seemed to have life!

Xu Yan stood still and waved his knife. The white mangs flashed and slashed at the fire pattern python seven inches.

"Puff"

In response, the fire pattern python was seven inches and cracked more than a meter deep. Blood spurted wildly, the fire streak python hissed in pain, writhing in all directions, and the stench of blood stained the valley red, dying and struggling.

Xu Yan no longer looked at the giant python, his face turned pale, and he walked to Liu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged to suppress the poisonous attack. He also meditated cross-legged to calm the turbulent and chaotic aura in his body.

"Xu Yan, go and collect the demon pill and snake gall in the body of the fire pattern python, let's leave immediately after collecting it, this place should not stay for a long time!"

After a few moments, the fire-streaked python stopped writhing, blood ran out, and it was completely out of breath. Liu Chen opened his eyes with difficulty and said to Xu Yan, whose face was gradually improving.

Xu Yan glanced at Liu Chen with concern and didn't say much. Came to the corpse of the fire-patterned python, drew the dagger, and spread it out. The skin of this fire pattern python is hard and difficult to break through, and it is extremely soft after death, and it can be cut with a slight stroke of the dagger. Of course, because of this, python skins are worthless.

After groping in his body, Xu Yan took out two things from it, a black snake gall and a fiery red demon pill. The demon pill was oval-shaped, slightly heated, and scattered with red light, and the spiritual power was constantly surging on it, and if you looked closely, there were dark lines twisting in it.

The demon pill is something that exists in every demon beast, similar to the human dantian, storing majestic spiritual power. After the death of the demon beast, the inner pill will not be broken, but if the demon pill is broken, the demon beast will be completely destroyed if it does not die...

"Give me snake gall bladder to suppress the snake venom in my body. After the demon pill you must keep, the selling price is extremely high. ”

Liu Chen stretched out his hand to take the snake gall, cut open the snake gall that was the size of a watermelon, and poured dark green juice into his mouth. This snake bile is bitter, smelly, and difficult to enter the throat, Liu Chen frowned, and swallowed it into his stomach with nausea.

The abdomen was slightly cold, and the bitter bile came into contact with this evil fire poison, and Liu Chen suddenly felt that his body was itchy, and most of the hot sensation in his internal organs disappeared. The evil fire poison is gradually suppressed, but there is still a residual poison that is difficult to solve, and it is necessary to use spiritual power to suppress the toxin at all times.
