Volume 5: Chu Ming 460: Shangguan Hong's Journey to the Forbidden Land (1)
A few nights later.
This is the night of the full moon, the moon is in the sky above the black velvet canopy, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the bright moonlight is silently sprinkled, under the reflection of the moonlight, the thousand-needle pine forest is as deep as a wave of slowly undulating sea, and only the pine waves are heard in the night.
Shangguan Hong had been wandering in this thousand-needle pine forest for several days, and now she was hanging in the night, her face was tense and she was covered in cold sweat, just now, she had just escaped a crisis that made her feel terrified.
Like those people in Qian Chao, at night, Shangguan Hong will also find a place to hide for the night, although not all demon beasts like to be active at night, but whenever it is night, it is still a time when all kinds of fierce demon beasts come out to forage, so it is best for monks to find a place to hide at night when they are outside, and Shangguan Hong is no exception.
But Shangguan Hong didn't have the ability to arrange a formation for Qian Chao, when Qian Chao was out for the night, whenever he found a hiding place, he would arrange a formation outside to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out of the five people, so the five of them would be relatively safe when they spent the night outside. But Shangguan Hong is different, although she has a lot of experience outside, when she spends the night outside, she basically looks for a remote place to hide quietly for a night, compared to the five people of Qian Chao, her overnight way is much worse. What I want to explain here is that when Shangguan Hong spent the night outside before, he was not in the forbidden land, outside the sect, if ordinary demon beasts disturbed Shangguan Hong at night, they would inevitably be killed by him, and in this thousand-needle pine forest, Shangguan Hong did not dare to make a move in the face of the middle-level demon beasts that abounded here, so he could only hide.
On this day, Guan Hong found a relatively deep cave to hide before nightfall, she thought it was safe, and lit a bonfire in the deepest part of the cave.
In the middle of the night, suddenly Shangguan Hong, who was thinking about something by the bonfire, had a sudden alarm in her heart, and a strong uneasiness instantly invaded her whole body, just outside the cave, she heard an obvious sound of knowing everything, and it came from the entrance of the cave where she was hiding, obviously something accompanied by the sound first lingered at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then began to drill in, Shangguan Hong could distinguish that the sound gradually entered the cave, followed by the sound of stones falling from the cave wall and the roof of the cave, She knew at once that some powerful danger was coming down the winding cavern.
At this time, Shangguan Hong regretted a little, he shouldn't have chosen such a place with only one exit to hide, and now that the exit is blocked, the trend of catching turtles in the urn has been achieved.
Of course, Shangguan Hong relied on something, and she got up and tightened her cloak while stepping on the bonfire.
This cloak was obtained from her master Qiu Huaqi after she returned to the sect, and according to Qiu Huaqi, this cloak was passed on to him by her master, that is, Qiu Huaqi's father, Qiu Long, and he passed this cloak to Shangguan Hong that day in Qiu Huagu's cave mansion. This cloak is called "Black Qiu", and it is said that it was found in the cultivation world after Qiu Long broke through the Yuanying realm, and it was made by a Yuanying-level refining master, and Qiu Long did the refining master a great favor, so he received this item. As for the benefits of this cloak, it is that this cloak can be used by Yuanying Monks, Jiedan Monks, Zhuji Monks, and even Qi refining disciples like Shangguan Hong can also be used, after draping it on his body, as long as he is infused with spiritual energy, he can completely cover himself in the face of powerful danger, because Qiu Huaqi was looking for a white fox all over the world at that time, and Qiu Long was worried about his son's safety, so he gave this black Qiu to Qiu Huaqi.
And Qiu Huayan was punished for a hundred years because of his own negligence, and the promise that he would help his disciple find the egg of Qingluan could not be fulfilled, so he felt guilty, so he passed this cloak to Shangguan Hong, and now this cloak has become Shangguan Hong's life-saving thing.
Because of the poor airflow in the cave at this time, it became stuffy, and the embers of the bonfire on the ground were a little dark red, in addition to this, the cave was pitch black, and she couldn't see her five fingers, but Shangguan Hong clearly saw that there were two dark red rays of light slowly shining in along the direction of the cave, and at the same time there was a crackling sound, and she immediately concluded that it was a huge snake that came in.
The two dark red rays of light were the light that came out of the snake's eyes, and the crackling sound was sent out by the snake letters that the big snake kept spitting out from its mouth!
The cave became narrower and narrower the further inwards it went, and eventually the serpent's head was stuck in the cave less than three feet from the bottom of the cave, and it could never get in again.
But a fishy smell peculiar to snakes suddenly permeated this small space.
In the cave at this time, in addition to the dark red remnants of the bonfire embers on the ground, it was the red light in the eyes of the big snake, Shangguan Hong was a monk, she could naturally see the appearance of the big snake clearly in this darkness, and immediately she recognized what kind of demon beast this was, and her heart became even more nervous at the same time.
It's a bug!
A mid-level demon snake.
An ordinary dragon is no more than the thickness of a big bucket, and although this one is still a mid-level demon beast, its body is as thick as a big tree that can only be hugged by two or three people!
Probably because of the abundant aura in this forbidden place, this guy looks so thick.
The frog passed by here at night, not only aware of the heat emitted from this cave, but also noticed that there were fluctuations in the aura, the demon beast's sense was far beyond the ordinary monk, it immediately concluded that there was a meal of its own blood food in this cave, so it followed the cave all the way in, but at the most critical time was stuck in this narrow cave, and the most annoying thing was that when it climbed along the cave inside, suddenly it lost its sense of the previous aura, However, its round and stout body completely blocked the cave, and it did not believe that its prey could escape, so it still went all the way in to see what was going on.
The embers on the ground in front of him were extinguishing, but there was nothing else, but its body could no longer move forward, and in anger, the huge cockroach opened its mouth and screamed at the bottom of the cave!
Shangguan Hong instantly felt a fishy and unbearable wave of air rushing to her face, making her dizzy, and at the same time her ears were also in pain, but this was not shocked by this hissing, although the worm was big, but its hissing was not impossible, but at present, this small cave was almost completely closed, and the sudden bulging air flow was caused by pressing her ears.
Shangguan Hong still made some movement in a panic, which made the python suddenly excited, and the huge snake head was aimed at Shangguan Hong's direction, it seems that the prey did not escape, but there is some means to cover the body, such a thing The worm has also encountered in the experience of hunting other demon beasts, it seems to have a way to deal with it, and then this python actually began to slowly retreat backwards, it is easy to come in, but it is not easy for snakes to retreat, plus it has desperately squeezed forward in order to hunt the blood food in this hole, It's hard to go back now.
And with the sound of scales scraping against the ground, Shangguan Hong suddenly understood what this guy in front of him was going to do, although he couldn't see it in the dark, her face was bloodshot almost instantly!
Python suck!
Suddenly, I took a deep breath and swallowed everything in front of me!
This is the means that the great snakes of the climate have!
The reason why it has to retreat is because its body shape has completely blocked this cave, and the airflow is not smooth, so it can exert the maximum power of python sucking by retreating!
Looking at the two dark red snake eyes in front of him that were moving back a little bit, Shangguan Hong understood that if he didn't save himself, he would really become the belly of this big snake.
Is there a way for her to save herself?
Of course.
But not much.
Shangguan Hong returned to the Five Spirits Sect from the Thousand Needle Pine Forest to find her master, and Qiu Huayan gave her many things, just to prevent her from dying because of danger when she was looking for Qingluan's eggs, including something that was specially designed to deal with some powerful snakes.
It was a white powder.
In the cultivation world, almost all the big snakes, whether they have become the climate or not, their natural enemies come from the air.
The common little snake in the world is afraid of the falcon, the eagle falcon has amazing eyesight, can find the trace of the small snake in the air, and then swoop down to accurately grab it with its sharp claws, fly to the air and then release the claws, fall to death and then take food. And the demon snakes in the cultivation world are also afraid of those big birds with sharp beaks and sharp claws, although not all big birds can prey on demon snakes, but some eagle falcon demon birds are still the great enemies of demon snakes, and they are born with great deterrence to all kinds of demon snakes.
The kind of white fine powder that Shangguan Hong took out was carefully ground from the shell of the eggs laid by a very powerful eagle, the kind of eagle almost exclusively feeds on all kinds of demon snakes, and its eggs are discarded after hatching out of the eaglet.
It's a pity that Shangguan Hong doesn't have much of this fine powder in her hand, so she is still a little reluctant after taking it out, but after all, life is important, and Shangguan Hong, who is pretentious and has a plan for the future, of course doesn't want to die in an unknown cave at night like this, so even if she is reluctant, she still takes it out and then boldly walks forward and blows the big snake's head that is close at hand!
The results are immediate!
Shangguan Hong didn't notice the breath of a big eagle in this fine powder at all, but the worm in the cave was completely different, the fine powder was scattered, and it all fell on the head of the worm, and suddenly the cockroach was like being poured a pot of boiling hot oil on the head of the pocket and as if it had been hit the head, and suddenly a terrified hiss sounded, and the entire cave immediately shook violently, and the rocks were rolling, so that Shangguan Hong couldn't help hiding, and the cockroach that was struggling to retreat backwards was as fast as lightning and shrank back quickly, The scales on his body were torn off by the violent friction with the stone wall of the cave, and almost at the same time there was a rumbling sound at the entrance of the cave, and it was the man's movements that almost collapsed the entrance of the cave when it retreated.
The fine powder that Qiu Huayu gave to Shangguan Hong could even startle a demon snake of the level of Jian Bi and Hao Xiaoniao, not to mention that this was just a mid-level demon beast.
Shangguan Hong was stunned by the power of this fine powder at first, and immediately she realized that she was still in danger, and suddenly woke up, and then her body immediately rushed outward, this black Qiu cloak was consuming her aura almost all the time, if she couldn't support it at the moment and was killed by this worm back to the horse pistol, then she really wanted to hate it, so she broke through the rocks that were almost piled up at the entrance of the cave, and Shangguan Hong's figure flew into the air at once.
Under the moonlight, Shangguan Hong saw that the trees below were boiling, and the huge cockroach still did not get rid of the great fear brought by the fine powder, and frantically moved around the mountains and forests indiscriminately and collided, the nearby mountains and rocks cracked, the trees were broken, and the rumbling sound was loud, and then it fled to the distance, which caused many other demon beasts to roar!
