Chapter 51: The Great Serpent

Ling Ning's figure was stunned, and Xia Shiqing on the side also noticed an abnormality, and the two looked at each other slightly, both understanding each other's thoughts. In the midst of the lightning, Xia Shiqing suddenly pounced on Ling Ning, stopped his waist and took him away from the wooden man, and at the same time, there was a loud noise behind him, and the cyan wooden man more than two meters tall was destroyed by a huge shadow!

Fortunately, Xia Shiqing reacted quickly, and she was half a breather slower, but I was afraid that the two of them would have been torn apart like this wooden man!

With the help of scattered light spots, you can clearly see a huge python appearing behind the two of them, wreaking havoc on the wooden figures. This giant python is white, its eyes are red, its head is raised and its feet are more than three meters tall and more than one meter wide, and its tail is not visible at a glance! It is hard to imagine how such a giant python could appear quietly behind the two of them, perhaps secretly approaching in the quagmire, or crawling slowly on the vines, in front of this ancient cold-blooded top hunter, it is not surprising that it is not aware of it.

Xia Shiqing grabbed the vines on the rock wall tightly with one hand and Ling Ning's waist with the other, and she whispered, "Will this affect your back injury?" ”

Ling Ning felt a pain in his waist, and he knew that his waist could not use his strength at all, and he could not fight with the giant python at all.

"It's fine, but ...... I'm just afraid I'll drag you down...... It's not as good as ......."

Xia Shiqing shook her head silently, Ling Ning also knew that she would not leave her no matter what, and she would not say anything about the remaining half of the sentence.

The python's scarlet eyes were focused on the two of them, and it spitted purple letters at them. Although the python's eyesight is extremely poor, it accurately re-locks the position of the two through heat induction, even if it remains still, it will not help.

In this muddy quagmire, this giant python undoubtedly has the advantage, and it is not the best choice for the two of them to escape, it is better to fight with all their might!

Ling Ning said: "Put me down, I'll contain it with Mu Dun!" ”

Xia Shiqing nodded in agreement, and she stared intently at the giant python, waiting for its next attack.

The python raised its head and opened its bloody mouth, and a suffocating fishy smell came to its face! Then the python pounced on the two of them!

At the moment of lightning again, Xia Shiqing hugged Ling Ning and avoided it! She put Ling Ning in the quagmire, rubbed her body with the long sword in her hand, and stabbed the giant python's huge body with a sword!

"Poof!"

The sword seemed to be pierced on a spring wrapped in flesh, and the long sword slid through the body of the giant python with a bend, leaving not even a trace!

At the same time, Ling Ning quickly punched his hand print!

"Wood Escape, Wood Man Technique!"

Huge green trees rise from the mire! Instantly withstood the big mouth of the giant python, and then Aoki changed for a while, turning into a wooden man and holding the giant python with both palms!

The giant python curled up for a while, and the muscles of the whole body burst out, and the wooden man immediately let out a piercing "crunch" sound, obviously overwhelmed!

"Shiqing, step aside! Use fire! Ling Ning said busily.

Xia Shiqing will turn over and jump a few meters back, and then the two of them will seal together!

"Flame Dance!"

"Flame Blast!"

After practicing in the way taught by the palace master, Ling Ning's understanding of the five basic attributes has deepened a lot, especially the fire attribute, and after obtaining the demon fire, he has become more and more sophisticated, and he can easily use the Dao technique of the "spirit" level.

Compared with the lowest-level "gathering" first-level Dao technique, the "spirit" level consumption is smaller, but both the power and range have doubled, so it can be said that this level of Dao art can be regarded as truly stepping into the ranks of "cultivating immortals", and it was just a small fight before.

These two flames fell on the giant python accurately, and instantly swept the whole body, the huge body of the giant python struggled desperately in the flames, and finally, the wooden man burst open with a "crunch"! The giant python's huge body slammed uncontrollably into the rock wall, and the entire rock wall shook with it, and a large number of rocks and dirt slid down the stone wall. The python let out a heart-rending hissing sound, which reverberated in the cave, which was terrifying!

Ling and Xia carefully avoided the stones that slipped down the rock wall, and at the same time waited for the giant python that was struggling and roaring in the flames until its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and it never stood up again.

The flames became smaller and smaller, and the pitch-black smoke quickly filled the entire space, and with a wave of Ling Ning's sleeves, a strong wind blew away a large amount of smoke. I saw that the giant python had already become a charred black statue, and the spark that had not yet been extinguished was like orange-red hot iron that gradually cooled and turned black.

Ling Ning stared at the giant python's remnant body, the charred black corpse suddenly broke apart, and when he looked inside from the cracked part, it was actually empty, and there was no flesh and bone in it!

"Oh no, it's a snake molt!"

Although Ling Ning realized this, it was already over! Xia Shiqing's painful voice sounded behind him, and her body was grabbed by a huge force, and then she fell hard against the rock wall!

Xia Shiqing vomited a mouthful of blood like a rag doll that had been thrown away, and fell weakly on the blackened and hard mud ground smoked by the flames, and then the huge head of the giant python appeared again and slammed towards her!

Almost at the same time, Xia Shiqing also made a handprint!

"Lingmu Double Wall!"

Two Aoki slammed out from both sides to protect her, and collided with the python's attack!

"Bang!"

This blow caused a large area of ups and downs, and his vision was blurred for a while, but Ling Ning still quickly pounced on it to check the situation despite his back injury.

"Shiqing!"

"Don't come here!"

Xia Shiqing was covered in blood, she tried her best to raise her head and look up at the giant python that was about to attack, and hit her hand prints with both hands!

In a trance, Ling Ning seemed to see the scene when his father fell in front of him, he desperately wanted to do something, but now it was too late to seal it! He unconsciously looked at the raised head of the giant python, and there was a vague shadow hovering above its head in the smoke and dust, although he couldn't figure out what it was, but he suddenly had a realization in his heart that it was the shadow controlling the giant python!

"Bastard!"

With Ling Ning's roar, the stone sword that had been lost in the battle suddenly appeared in his hand again, as if it had "grown" out of his palm out of thin air!

The stone sword turned into a "shattered star" in the blink of an eye, and in his roar, it turned into a sharp meteor and shot towards the shadow hovering above the giant python's head!

Two Aoki scurried out of the quagmire and rushed towards the giant mouth that came over them, shattering like crisp bamboo shoots meeting iron plates, but it also slowed down the giant python's attack a little bit, just a little bit of time, "Huh! A shattered star pierced the shadow and nailed it to the stone wall!

The head of the giant python that should have continued to attack suddenly slammed! It shook its head, as if trying to drive something away.

"Shiqing! Are you okay! Ling Ning pounced on Xia Shiqing, nervously checking the injuries on her body.

Xia Shiqing looked at the python's confused appearance, and after confirming that it would not attack again, she said to Ling Ning: "It's okay, it's just ...... It's just that the leg was bitten through by that guy. ”

Ling Ning tore open her trouser leg, and a blood hole appeared on her fair skin, as if a pool of red spring water suddenly gushed out of the endless holy snow region, and the continuous spring water dyed the snow region a bright red little by little.

Ling Ning took out the wound medicine and hurriedly stopped the bleeding for her, and wrapped it with a bandage again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when everything was bandaged properly.

He raised his head and saw Xia Shiqing looking at him blankly, and couldn't help but care: "What? Does it hurt terribly? ”

Xia Shiqing retracted her gaze, shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that you don't have to be too nervous about skin trauma." ”

Ling Ning grinned lightly, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head in an effort to dispel the image of his father's tragic death in his mind. When he looked up again, he found that the python had disappeared.

"That guy is gone?"

"Well, it's gone, it doesn't seem to want to attack us, is your back injury okay?"

"It's not too much of a hindrance if it's not strenuous activity."

Ling Ning helped her up, her leg injury seemed to be more serious than his back injury.

"Can you move around?"

"It's fine."

Xia Shiqing's gaze turned to the struggling shadow on the rock wall that was pierced by the long sword shattering star, and she blurted out a little for a moment: "It turned out to be it!" ”

Its transparent form gradually appeared under the staining of blood, and it was the great snake she had encountered in the mountains! She had saved the human-speaking toad green from its mouth, thinking that it must have come to take revenge on herself.

"Have you seen this snake? Strange, how is its body transparent? ”

Xia Shiqing briefly explained how she had encountered it, and Ling Ning was amazed when she heard it.

"This guy really has a bit of a way, and he didn't freeze to death under the broken star, which is really unusual. And it can control such a big python, what is the origin? ”

"I don't know about this, but what's even more peculiar is that its snake skin is transparent, which is really rare."

"Yes, hehe, it's a pity that it's too small to make a transparent robe, well, maybe it can be made into a scabbard!"

The big snake seemed to understand the conversation between the two of them, and struggled even more, and the sword was inserted into the rock wall so deep that it could not escape no matter how hard it struggled.

Just as Ling Ning wanted to finish it further, suddenly a strong wind swept from the depths of the cave! The whirring wind is like the groan of a hungry ghost, and the person who blows it cannot open his eyes. There was also a heavy fishy smell in the wind, as well as an overwhelming coercion, like a fierce beast in the abyss that had not seen the light of day suddenly raised its head to the sky and let out a shocking roar.

After the strong wind passed, everything was calm again, as if everything that had just happened was unreal. The strange wind came and went so fast that if it weren't for the splashing mud that left a little mark on the two of them, they would almost have thought they were hallucinating.

The calm came so quickly that even the serpent, which was nailed to the rock wall, did not react for a moment, it was slightly stunned, and came to its senses and nodded frantically at them, as if it was prostrating and pleading.

Ling Ning and Xia Shiqing glanced at each other, to be honest, they were a little confused, they didn't know what was in the depths of the cave, and they didn't know if the big snake in front of them was still going to be unfavorable to them. But neither of them is a person who likes to kill, and it seems that it is not impossible to let it go.

"Are you begging us for mercy?" Ling Ning asked.

The serpent paused slightly, then nodded again, and from time to time its eyes looked into the depths of the cave, as if it couldn't wait to go.

"You seem to be in a hurry, what's going on inside?" Xia Shiqing asked softly.

Although the big snake is quite spiritual, it can't spit out human words like toad green, and can only kowtow and plead vigorously. The two looked at each other, and naturally they knew that they couldn't ask anything.

"Okay, we can let you go, but you have to promise not to take revenge on us." Ling Ning made a final request.

The big snake naturally nodded in agreement, Ling Ning reached out and pulled out his long sword, and laughed at himself with a wry smile: "I'm so stupid, what do I want to guarantee that you won't talk anyway......"

The long sword was drawn, and the big snake fell to the ground with a "snap", and it moved its body a little and "hissed" twice at the two of them, as if to say: "I will keep my promise." Then it crawled into the depths of the cavern without looking back.

"Shiqing, let's go and have a look, I always feel that there is something unusual in it......"

"Well, there's no place to climb up these four times, so we can only go deeper."

Ling Ning made a mudra and used the wooden man technique again, and the two of them took the wooden man and followed the big snake to explore the depths of the cave.

……

When a round of red sun poked out of the sky, Qian Mei'er's heart suddenly relaxed, but it was only a moment of relaxation, and then she became nervous again.

Looking at the small city that was about to disappear from view in the distance, it was already enveloped in flames, and the raging flames carried the black smoke billowing out, like wolf smoke in the desert, and the red sunlight showed a tragic meaning through the smoke.

Thinking back to what had happened last night, she wished it had been a dream, but the stiff pain from her sword-wielding right hand told her that it was all real.

When the Heaven Devouring Demon turned into golden butterflies flying all over the sky, all the monks in the city fell into madness. They desperately snatched the golden pages, as if they were a passport to the fairy world. Although the killing had already begun, it was the spewing pages that brought the atmosphere to a climax. In this feast of slaughter, each monk was transformed into a beast, their mouths wide open and their fangs bared, scrambling to pounce on the floating flesh. They tore, roared, and struggled to get as many pages as they could.

The sky is lit up with a variety of techniques, and if you look at it from afar, you will think that it is a fireworks festival in the middle of a festival.

At first, it was just a killing for the sake of fighting for the pages, but as the fight intensified, people couldn't tell who the enemy was, and those who grabbed the pages wanted more pages, and those who didn't have the pages had to fight desperately, and even those who wanted to get out would be targeted, no one knew if you had a page on you, no one knew if you wanted to grab the page, and the best way was to strike first.

"Mei'er, go and rest for a while, let me do it for you." Lingxi's face was pale, and all of her proud bodyguards had died in the previous night's battle, and no one knew if they had died in the fight or if they had done their duty.

"Doesn't it matter what your injuries are?" Qian Mei'er said this, but her eyes were still staring at the depths of the woods, and she didn't dare to let her guard down.

"I've been on medicine for a lot better, but it's just a skin injury...... But Phantom Ji ......"

Phantom Ji was already in a coma at the moment, and she was the first to notice that something was wrong as soon as the three of them rushed into the crowd last night. Not only did Wen Xin'er's figure quickly disappear, but the monks who rushed up to snatch the pages of the book did not allow them to leave alive. The three girls were soon surrounded, and Phantom Ji was the first to advocate retreat, and under her leadership, the three girls desperately broke through in one direction.

In the process of breaking through, the third girl was hindered by layers, and Phantom Ji threw away the blindfold of her right eye, and the pupil of her right eye emitted a golden light, plunging the enemies who rushed up into illusion one by one, but she also fell into a coma after escaping from the city because of the overuse of her pupil power.

Lingxi, who has always been well-respected, saw her bodyguards dying one after another in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but be afraid, and almost gave up. Fortunately, Phantom Ji and Qian Mei'er desperately pulled her, so that she could break through "intact".

She will never forget the giant palms that fell from the crowd, slapping the living monk into a pile of minced flesh in front of her eyes. I can't forget the Xuanyuan Sword Array that frequently flew in the night sky, constantly penetrating the bodies of the monks one by one. In the face of life and death, no one hid his cultivation anymore, but those who exposed his cultivation were all strangled by the sword array without exception!

This sword array has not appeared for too long, this time its prestige will soon spread throughout the entire Mortal Dust Continent, and then it will spread on the Immortal Dust Continent, I believe that no one will dare to challenge it within more than ten years, and no one will dare to question the legend of the Xuanyuan Sword Array.

"She'll definitely be fine, she must have experienced this kind of thing in the Immortal Dust Continent...... There were too many people last night, and there were too many monks gathered in that little city. Qian Mei'er looked at the smoke in the distance with a somewhat vacant gaze.

Phantom took the sword from her hand and put her arm around her shoulder, "Go ahead, sleep for a while." I believe that after last night's battle, there will be no one in this vicinity anymore, and even if they do, they will not have the strength to fight. ”

Qian Mei'er didn't say anything, she walked to the side and leaned against the tree with her eyes closed, as if she really fell asleep.

Lingxi sighed, she looked at the blood on her hands, for an eldest lady who had been used to living a comfortable life since she was a child, this bloody experience undoubtedly made her see the cruel side of the immortal cultivation world. But she held on and didn't fall, thanks to the protection of Qianmei'er and Phantom Hime, she was able to leave the city, and she couldn't believe what would have happened if they hadn't fought alone.

She didn't understand why it was like this? Is the attraction of the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill really that great? Even some of the old monsters of the Immortal Dust Continent also fought for it...... I couldn't figure it out, she shook her head vigorously to dispel the dizziness in her mind, she didn't dare to close her eyes, afraid that when she closed her eyes, those monks like hungry ghosts would pounce on her again, but she was too tired, although the injuries on her body were not as good as those of Qian and Phantom, but the true yuan in her body was almost exhausted, and she really wanted to sleep and replenish her energy in the most primitive way.

Slowly, she finally couldn't resist the temptation of sleepiness and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, when she woke up, it was already late at night, she looked around, but she didn't see the figure of Qian Mei'er and Phantom Ji, in this dark woods, she was left alone!
