Chapter Twenty-Five: The Serpent

Since they decided to join forces, the two temporarily formed an alliance.

Xu Xiao is a self-cooked character, calling Yan Wuya to sit by the fire and enthusiastically sell him his barbecue.

"It's also interesting, when I came, I was attacked by a lot of demon beasts, and I was hungry from the fight, I wanted to barbecue meat to eat to replenish some physical strength, and I was worried that there would be demon beasts taking advantage of this attack, but I didn't expect that as soon as the fire was raised, those demon beasts didn't dare to approach."

Yan Wuya naturally felt that the number of demon beasts here was relatively small, and he thought that he was killed by Xu Xiao, but he didn't expect it to be because of this.

It's probably because the eyesight of the demon beasts here is declining, and they will subconsciously fear bright things, which is also an unexpected joy, at least before the battle with the demon beast, the two of them can reduce unnecessary consumption.

Yan Wuya was silent, but Xu Xiao said it happily, he said that he had calculated that there were treasures in this secret realm and that his disciples would be of great benefit, so he came to explore, thinking of finding some benefits for his disciples.

When Yan Wuya heard this, he had a good impression of Xu Xiao.

Most of the masters and apprentices in the cultivation realm have an ordinary relationship, especially in some sects, accepting disciples is just to teach cultivation, and they don't care about the opportunities of the disciples, and some of them are directly thrown to the disciples who can be independent to teach, and they are the shopkeepers.

Only a few people like Xu Xiao just counted the things that were beneficial to their disciples here, so they came.

"Your disciple must be very good." It's worth being so careful.

is also a sword cultivator with high cultivation, Yan Wuya knows what kind of disciple can win his favor, what sword cultivation values most is not qualifications, but a heart.

Cultivating immortals is to cultivate the heart first, practice the sword, and practice the heart and sword.

Xu Xiao naturally understood, laughed twice, and began to talk about how his disciples were.

"Although he didn't learn swords since he was a child, his temperament at this age is far beyond ordinary people, and he is not lazy and slippery no matter how hard and tired he usually practices swords, his senior brother always likes to tease him, and he is not shocked." Speaking of the back, Xu Xiao sighed, "I thought that I would not accept apprentices in my life, but I didn't expect to be able to meet him, and it is my blessing to have this disciple." ”

For a great power to sigh like this, this disciple must be extremely good.

Yan Wuya has no intention of accepting disciples, he knows that he is special, and he does not want to delay others, if his disciples die because of him or are full of revenge, it is not a good thing for him.

But at this moment, listening to the complacency in the other party's words, he couldn't help but have an idea.

It's just that he thought of the immature face in his memory, and after all, he still dismissed this decision.

There is no such thing as day and night in the secret realm, and after a day or two of coming in, it is always full of red mist. Or maybe the fog in mid-air is too thick for sunlight to shine into, so there is no obvious diurnal variation here.

Xu Xiao and Yan Wuya estimated the time, there were still twelve hours before the lone lamp phantom branch matured, Xu Xiao decided to explore the situation of the demon beast first.

"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, and it is convenient for us to plan first." Xu Xiao said.

Yan Wuya had no opinion, nodded in agreement.

The two agreed that Xu Xiao would investigate, and Yan Wuya would guard the surrounding situation for him.

The environment where the Lone Lantern Phantom Branch is located is different from the surroundings, where it grows, the surrounding 100 meters of green grass, and other places are yellow sand and dead trees. In the middle of a clear spring, the lone lamp phantom branch bloomed and had already bloomed eight flowers, and when the ninth flower bloomed, it was the time when it was ripe.

There was no trace of the blood of the demon beast on the green grass, but there were traces of the powerful demon beast, Xu Xiao speculated that this demon beast should be a reptile such as a snake, and looking at the size, it must be extremely huge.

Although it is difficult for other demon beasts to approach because of this demon beast's guard, the lone lamp phantom branch is about to mature, and the powerful aura emitted by it makes many demon beasts eye, and the figure of the demon beast can be seen from time to time in the fog, but because of the fear of the demon beast guarding the town, he does not dare to approach easily, and can only let out an unwilling howl.

Yan Wuya guarded the demon beasts in the outer circle in the secret place, and Xu Xiao also began to act, only to see that he was growing lotus step by step, and his body was ethereal and invisible.

To Yan Wuya's surprise, he seemed to be in a very strange situation, he was standing there, but you would subconsciously ignore it, even if Yan Wuya kept staring at the other party, but even if he flickered his mind, he would lose the trace of the other party.

But Xu Xiao didn't leave, he was still there, and the speed of progress was not fast, but you couldn't perceive him.

Yan Wuya's heart was shocked, and he immediately recognized this strange exercise.

Legend has it that there are immortals who pass down a technique when they ascend, and cultivators can hide their aura through special exercises and body techniques, and those who are proficient can disappear out of thin air in front of people. But the most powerful part of this exercise is not the case, but the great achiever, who can even use it to avoid heavenly punishment.

Those who cultivate the truth attach great importance to the oath, especially the oath to the Heavenly Dao, if they are violated, they will be punished by the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will rain down the heavenly thunder, and very few people can be safe and sound under the heavenly thunder.

Even if you don't make an oath or break it, the higher your cultivation, you will encounter a thunderstorm every time you advance.

This exercise is to deceive the Heavenly Dao and avoid the Heavenly Thunder.

This exercise is called "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea"

However, this exercise is now only in the hands of Ah Hanyuan's group, and it cannot be practiced without orthodox bloodlines.

That's where the problem comes in.

Who is this Xu Xiao? Where did you come from to practice this method?

Yan Wuya quickly suppressed what he thought in his heart, no matter what, now that he and Xu Xiao are still allies, the top priority should be to find the lone lamp phantom branch.

Here, Xu Xiao hid his figure and advanced towards the depths of the traces.

He walked very comfortably, walking on the territory of the demon beast was like his own backyard, but in fact, it was only on the surface, in fact, he was also a little surprised in his heart, with what he found along the way, this demon beast was even stronger than he imagined.

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, he still behaves unhurriedly, not because he does it on purpose, but if he wants to launch "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" perfectly, he must cultivate his self-cultivation, hide his joy and anger, and turn himself into a tree, a stone.

As he went deeper and deeper, Xu Xiao had already seen a part of the demon beast's body.

The demon beast coiled its body around the Lone Lantern Phantom Branch, its body was huge, but even this could not completely cover the area of the Lone Lantern Phantom Branch, and the only gap that was exposed was where the two of them came just now.

The demon beast was indeed in the form of a snake, different from ordinary snakes, its whole body was blood-red, and it was able to blend into this red mist, so that people couldn't find its body for a while. Xu Xiao was at the tail of it, and I saw that the scales on its body were glowing with cold light, looking at the material, I am afraid that it will not lose to the sword at all.

The red snake should be asleep at the moment, it is motionless, but Xu Xiao did not act rashly, after all, although he relied on "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" to get close to the red snake, but snakes are naturally good at perceiving the environment, and the slightest mistake will wake it up.

Xu Xiao saw that it was almost there, so he turned around and retreated, he walked for a while and saw Yan Wuya.

The two looked at each other and left together.

By the bonfire, Xu Xiao told in detail what he saw.

"That snake has scales all over its body, if it is an ordinary sword, it will definitely not be able to hurt him, but both of us are sword cultivators, so we should be able to fight with it."

"That being said, if you can attack its weak point in one fell swoop, you will definitely be able to seriously injure it. But I've seen it, and the snake's scales are particularly thick at seven inches, and if you talk about weakness, you may have to find another place. ”

The two discussed it and decided to improvise when the time came.

There are not many weaknesses of snakes, especially this kind of demon beast, probably the eyes or body, although the demon beast cultivation is high, but as long as the weakness is found, it is still very easy to deal with.

After discussing the countermeasures, the two of them meditated and rested, preparing wholeheartedly.

The lone lamp is ripe for a quarter of an hour.

Both of them opened their eyes at the same time, both with serious expressions.

Not far away, wisps of light had risen, almost illuminating half of the sky, and the demon beasts couldn't suppress their restlessness, and their roars were stronger than the last, which was a sign that the lone lamp phantom branch was about to mature.

At this time, there was an earthquake, and the sound of the red snake sliding on the ground could be clearly heard, like a small mountain, its huge body was hidden between the thick red mist, and the two raised their heads and saw a pair of bright moons in the air.

No, it wasn't the moon, it was the red snake's eyes. Unlike other demon beasts, its eyes are bright, and it even seems to be able to see everything on the ground through the red mist, and its tail sweeps, and the monsters that are about to move are shot away.

It noticed the two people holding swords on the ground, and it immediately understood that these two human sword cultivators were very powerful, and it let out a howl, which was completely unrelated to snakes, and a huge roar seemed to stun people.

But here at this moment, there are two of the top few people in the cultivation realm, their faces remain unchanged, and they rush straight away with a kick of their feet, the purpose of which is the eyes of the red snake like the moon!

Red Snake found that the howl didn't work, and in a fit of rage, he flicked his tail in an attempt to repel the two. Yan Wuya's long sword blocked the giant tail, and the long swords collided, and the two made a sound similar to that of striking iron.

The scales of this red snake were really stiff, and the strength was extremely great, Yan Wuya's eyes were cold, and he suddenly used force in his hand, swinging his sword to swing the giant tail back.

The giant tail landed on the ground with a loud bang. The red snake, which was provoked again, roared angrily, and attacked even more violently.

Yan Wuya held the long sword in his hand, and fought hundreds of rounds with the big snake in the blink of an eye, although the big snake has no skills, but the power is great, if it is strong, it is Yan Wuya who suffers.

But he's not alone.

Here, Yan Wuya faced the red snake alone, and on the other side, Xu Xiao used "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" to quietly approach the lonely lamp phantom branch.

The red snake who was attracted by Yan Wuyan did not realize his existence, at this time the lone lamp phantom branch was about to mature, Xu Xiao held his breath, and when the lone lamp phantom branch matured, he immediately picked it off.

This is the plan of the two, before Xu Xiao used "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" and was not discovered by the Red Snake, the two of them had this idea, and the higher strength of Yan Wuya attracted the Red Snake, and Xu Xiao went to pick it up.

The plan was quite lucky so far, but just as Xu Xiao stretched out his hand to pick, the Lone Lantern Phantom Branch suddenly burst out with a burst of bright light, even if Xu Xiao immediately reacted to dodge, he was dazzled by the light.

The red snake also found itself deceived, howled, and became even more angry, and it kept twisting its body, almost killing all living things
