23 Chapter XXIII
The fish was skewered by the branches, rolling on the fire, the burnt smell of barbecue came with the turning of the fish, several people sat together, Mo Nainai couldn't help but have his eyes shining, "Wow, Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Ji, you are so amazing!" ”
Lin Yin was very dissatisfied: "Why do you only praise them? I... The black wind also made a lot of efforts. ”
When the black hawk heard his name, he looked up at his master in confusion, and then continued to bury his head in the bitter suffering.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was happy for a while, as if it was not in the tense autumn hunt, but an ordinary party.
Ji Yun handed the first skewer of grilled fish to Qin Gu, without saying a word, but the expectation in his eyes betrayed him.
Qin Gu opened his mouth and bit a large piece of fish, the fish meat was already dry after being roasted by the flame, and it had a unique dry aroma in his mouth.
He praised: "Senior brother has such good cooking skills, we will have to go to the kitchen of Yinfeng Pavilion to help us improve our food in the future." ”
Ji Yun smiled slightly, distributed the grilled fish to the others, and then lowered his head and took a bite: "It's good if Senior Brother doesn't dislike it." ”
When they had eaten and drunk, they started a fire on the spot.
After a while, someone spread out the map: "Senior Brother Qin, this forest is almost finished, do we still want to continue to go north?" ”
Qin Gu had already made up his mind, but he pretended to ponder for a moment: "I want to continue walking." ”
The nine-eyed snake in the original book is in the northernmost part of the woods.
He can be regarded as having God's perspective, but others are not, and this decision is actually very irrational in the eyes of others.
At the edge of the map, how many monsters can be killed? If you continue north, you may waste the last day of autumn hunting.
Qin Gu was ready to be refuted, he didn't intend to convince everyone, after all, the Nine-Eyed Snake was not an ordinary demon beast, and he himself was sure to kill the Nine-Eyed Snake, but he couldn't guarantee that the others would not be injured.
But unexpectedly, everyone only showed some surprise, and no one objected.
Even Lin Yin just snorted coldly and acquiesced.
Qin Gu was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Everyone... What do you think? ”
Mo Nanai replied seriously: "Senior Brother Qin, everyone believes in you. ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin," someone responded, "even if there isn't even a bird in that place, let's just take a circle and see the scenery." ”
I don't know when their title to Qin Gu has changed from "Young Alliance Master" to "Senior Brother Qin", which is not only a change in title, but also a manifestation of trust.
Qin Gu was dumbfounded, but looking at their eyes full of trust, there was a heat surge in his heart.
He originally used "team spirit" as an excuse to fish, but at the moment, he sincerely hoped to win the first place in the team at the same time.
Qin Gu took the initiative to assume the duty of vigil and stayed awake all night.
The nine-eyed snake's information rolled over and over in his brain, almost reaching the pulp by him.
Until he set off for the north, he was still trying to analyze the weakness of this demon beast from the only information he had.
The nine-eyed snake, as the name suggests, is born with nine eyes, resembles a python, covered with hard scale armor, and is invulnerable;
Its main means of attack, in addition to the snake's customary entanglement and strangulation, is also the nine demonic eyes.
Like the mythical Medusa, she has the ability to imprison the actions of others.
This is why unsuspecting monks are extremely easy to be killed by the nine-eyed snake.
But just like the head of the three-headed dragon-necked beast is the most vulnerable place on the body, even if the nine-eyed snake is a top-level demon beast, there must be weaknesses.
Find the weak spot and kill it with one hit.
In the midst of his thoughts, the ground trembled slightly, and everyone vigilantly took out their magic weapons and gathered them vigilantly.
Countless black shadows scurried out of the trees, black eagles shouted alarms in the air, and fleeing demon beasts roared past them, because their hooves and feet trampled the ground and vibrated constantly.
It can be seen that the number and the team are huge.
And these demon beasts seem to only want to escape, and they don't even care if the monks stand in front of them.
Qin Gu seemed to feel something, and jumped to the forefront in an instant, his eyes were as calm as a pool of water, staring at the deepest part of the forest without blinking.
Suddenly, a huge eye opened in the darkness, followed by a second, a third...
Nine palm-sized almond-shaped eyes stared at them maliciously.
Lin Yin was stunned: "What is this?!" ”
As if in response to his question, the huge python slowly revealed its true face.
Its torso is as thick as a tree, and the lines on its skin are twisted, but when it is wide, it looks like a human face, and its nine eyes are embellished on the snakeskin, which is strange and grotesque.
"Nine, nine-eyed snake!" One of the monks shouted in disbelief, "How can there be high-level demon beasts here?!" ”
Just like the distinction between monks with different cultivations, the feeling that high-level demon beasts bring to people is also different from other demon beasts in the field.
The feeling of being watched, seemingly under constant surveillance, instinctively puts the body in a state of extreme tension, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.
Someone was already starting to tremble: "Senior Brother Qin, let's run!" ”
Mo Nanai clenched the token in his hand: "Senior Brother Qin, you can use the token to beg... Senior Brother Qin?! ”
She shouted out because Qin Gu had already flown forward, and looking at that posture, she was actually preparing to confront the Nine-Eyed Snake head-on.
Just when she was stunned, another figure flew by, and Ji Yun, who was originally behind the palace, pointed to the ground on tiptoe, and caught up in an instant, fighting with Qin Gu on the left and right, and the nine-eyed snake.
In the distance, Qin Gu's voice came: "The Nine-Eyed Snake has the ability to fix itself, you should be careful, find an opportunity to withdraw first!" ”
Senior Brother Qin... Senior Brother Ji... In such a dangerous situation, I would rather use myself to buy time for them...
Mo Nanai's eyes were wet again, she put her hands together, and her slender fingers flipped out a few spells at a very fast speed: "Senior Brother Qin, I'll help you!" ”
Feeling the temperature plummet, countless ice cubes appeared out of thin air and smashed towards the nine-eyed snake.
Kunlun Snow Palace, born in ice and snow, is also like dancing when casting spells.
The appearance of Ice Ling stopped the nine-eyed snake's movements, but it could not hurt it in the slightest.
The hard scale armor shattered the ice in an instant, and the nine-eyed snake shook its bloated body and shook the broken ice off.
It was obviously enraged by this group of monks who didn't know what to do, and its nine eyes suddenly opened to the maximum, red blood streaks appeared one after another, and the meridians around the eyeballs burst out, and in the end, the whites of the nine eyes also turned bright and dazzling blood red, and blood and tears continued to overflow, winding on the snakeskin of the human face.
It's coming!
Qin Gu slapped out with one palm, and the spiritual power swept through the woods, blowing up flying leaves in the sky, and setting off a rain of leaves between the others and the nine-eyed snake;
At the same time, the voice said: "Turn your back!" Don't look at its eyes! ”
He also immediately closed his eyes and scattered his consciousness into the woods, instead of looking at him.
With the guidance of his divine sense, Qin Gu stepped on the blade and borrowed his strength, flew to the side of the nine-eyed snake in a few steps, and slashed at its neck with a horizontal sword.
Bell ——!!
The scale armor was as hard as the blade of the sword, and the impact was transformed into a great repulsion, and Qin Gu was shocked and flew out upside down, stepping on the trunk of the tree with one foot to stabilize his body.
No, keep chopping.
After his neck didn't work, he stopped fighting, and several body methods landed and moved closer to Ji Yun.
"Senior brother," sensing his approach, Ji Yun said in a deep voice, "The snake is seven inches. ”
Qin Gu stared at it, and saw that seven inches away from the snake's head, a gap was faintly visible between the scales and armor, revealing soft pink skin.
"Xiao Yun," he had been in bed for many years, Qin Gu had never seen a living snake in the real world at all, and he sincerely sighed, "You are really a genius!" ”
Ji Yun opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything about this lack of life experience.
Possible weaknesses are identified, and new problems emerge.
Although the nine-eyed snake was bloated and large, it was very agile in its movements, and every time it moved, it deliberately faced the hardest side of the scale armor to everyone, and protected the fragile seven inches.
Only when the ability of the Nine Eyes is used will there be a momentary opportunity to reveal the beating heart under the scales.
Only for a moment!
The nine eyes closed, and the nine-eyed snake's movements became a little slower.
Of course, Qin Gu understood that it was recuperating and waiting for the next opportunity to attack.
– and that's their chance to attack.
Just now, there were already monks in the team who listened to his words and sent a signal for help to the Immortal League.
In other words, at most, there will be a few more moments, and the Demon Punishment Division will arrive.
He had to rush before that and let Ji Yun kill the Nine-Eyed Snake.
"The Demon Punishment Division is coming," Qin Gu said, "Xiao Yun..."
Ji Yun clenched the hilt of his sword, and his serious eyes made Qin Gu feel that no matter whether he wanted to advance or retreat, Ji Yun would obey unconditionally.
No, no, no, you can't obey me!
Qin Gu sighed, Ji Yun should be more of a marshal who scolded Fang Yu than a general who charged into battle.
After settling down, he saw the eyes of the nine-eyed snake open again, and immediately said, "Xiao Yun, I'll be your eyes." ”
Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, and Qin Gu looked at the others who were still helping on the periphery: "Senior Sister Nana, Senior Sister Yunxiu, please help me!" ”
Both of them are out-of-body monks, capable of transforming the primordial spirit into all things;
For the rest of the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, Qin Gu asked them to go to the outside of the forest to meet the Demon Division.
The two nodded, Monet's palms were facing each other, turning in opposite directions, and large pieces of ice appeared around the nine-eyed snake with snowflakes, one after another;
Medicine Valley Monk Hua Yunxiu raised his hand, and a brown mist flew out from his sleeve, coating the top of the ice cube with a layer of emerald green.
Qin Gu said again: "Lin Yin! ”
Lin Yin responded from afar, and said angrily: "You don't need to say it!" Black Wind! ”
The black eagle cried, Lin Yin said something in his mouth, the black eagle's body suddenly swelled several times, its wings opened, and every time it flapped its wings, it would roll up a small area of airflow, forming a tornado visible to the naked eye.
The Black Hawk turns into a black meteor and flies between the ice cubes, attracting the eye of the nine-eyed snake;
Ji Yun took off the hairband and tied it in front of his eyes, and after his vision disappeared, the rest of his senses became particularly acute;
Qin Gu's Divine Consciousness instantly dispersed into a thousand leaves and thousands of flowers, and the absence of a battle made him more engrossed in what his Divine Sense saw.
Ji Yun kept leaning down, like a vigorous black panther leaping in the woods, and the nine-eyed snake noticed the approach of the uninvited guest, his blood-red eyes rolled, and his gaze focused on the comer.
Soon, however, it was furious to discover that the intruder who had intruded into its territory was completely unaffected by its sight, and did not even pause in his footsteps.
The black eagle was still circling, falling from time to time, its sharp beak and claws tearing through its scales and pecking at the skin of the nine-eyed snake to blood.
The nine-eyed snake finally felt bored, and its body writhed, and slapped it fiercely at the black eagle.
The black eagle screamed and staggered and fell, and Lin Yin spread his arms and ran in the path where it fell, catching it steadily.
Don't forget to scold Qin Gu and the others: "Qin Gu!! You pay my eagle!! ”
Taking advantage of the distraction of the nine-eyed snake, Qin Gu caught its momentary slackness, and its scales fluttered, revealing the soft parts of it.
Qin Gu shouted: "It's now!" ”
Feng Di's swordsmanship took off, Ji Yun flipped his wrist and picked out a sword, his body moved suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he approached the body of the nine-eyed snake, his wrist was forced, and the sword was in the middle of seven inches!
The spiritual power made a crackling and popping sound, the sword was pushed by the spiritual power to save and submerge, and the nine-eyed snake began to roll violently, intending to throw Ji Yun off.
Rao is back hit the trunk of the tree countless times, and he was dizzy from being shaken, and Ji Yun didn't let go at all, but the strength in his hand was heavier, like a beast that was fighting, and he forcibly submerged all his swords between the scale armor.
The nine eyes of the nine-eyed snake widened suddenly, and the brilliance dissipated from the bloody eyes one after another, and it fell to the ground without a bare eye, making a loud "boom".
Ji Yun was out of breath, his hands were stained with the blood gushing from the heart of the nine-eyed snake, he wiped it on his body casually, and then he couldn't wait to take off his hairband, and turned his eyes to look at Qin Gu.
Qin Gu had also retracted his divine sense and was smiling at him.
The joy of hunting high-level demon beasts seemed to become even more surging.
Lin Yin's discordant voice suddenly broke the atmosphere: "Qin Gu! Ji Yun! Give me medicine!! ”
Qin Gu hurriedly took out the wound medicine from his arms, and Lin Yin hurriedly sprinkled it on Black Eagle's wound, his eyes full of pity.
Fortunately, this time he didn't make a fuss, so he could only say in pieces: "For the sake of killing the nine-eyed snake, I will spare you first this time... Damn, why is it always my black wind that is unlucky..."
Black Eagle's wound healed rapidly under the effect of the wound medicine, Qin Gu smiled, and suddenly felt a little delicate.
He looked around and asked, "The Demon Sect hasn't come yet?" ”
It's been so long, and it shouldn't have been here yet.
As if in response to his question, a loud noise suddenly erupted in the mountains not far away, shaking the mountains for a while, and Qin Gu staggered, almost not standing firm.
- That's the direction of the forbidden land.
