Chapter 313
Thinking of its abnormality, Mo Ghost did not retreat but advanced, and the bamboo flute slashed horizontally.
The rattlesnake's body was abnormally soft, almost folded in half, and after dodging the blow, it stood upside down in the air, turned in a circle and bit at Mo Ghost, and inside its open mouth, two dark fangs exuded coldness in the light.
Mo Ghost retracted the bamboo flute, stuck it in its mouth, put his hands on both sides, looked at the black marks left on the flute by the fangs, and turned the flute to exert force to loosen its mouth.
Just getting closer, she clearly saw the rattlesnake's inverted triangular eyes, red blood gradually covered the whites of the eyes, the nose twitched rapidly, the whole head twitched slightly unconsciously, and the saliva secreted in the mouth flowed out of the corners of the mouth.
Something was clearly wrong with its current state, and the rattlesnake realized that the toxin was mixed with saliva and spat out.
Although he knew that it was delaying time and wanted to escape, Mo Ghost still didn't dare to gamble, and retreated slightly, avoiding the venom, and when he turned his head again, the rattlesnake had already run away, but the breath left along the way was still there.
The places where the venom was poured on the ground, whether it was dead grass or earth, made a 'hissing' sound as if it had been drenched with hot oil, and it became pitch black.
Bypassing this area, Mo Ghost chased after the rattlesnake.
The female cultivator who was still sitting on the ground looked at the man and beast who had left blankly, and after a while, she realized that she had escaped death, and ran out of the forest tremblingly, Xiling City could not go back, the master and senior brother were unreliable, anyway, she had already built the foundation in the later stage, so it was better to cultivate by herself.
Here, Mo Ghost caught up as fast as he could.
The second awakening, the rattlesnake's fangs should have changed, but it was not completely controlled, and it was even affecting its own thinking, so when it encountered an opponent like Mo Ghost, which it couldn't kill with one blow, it immediately chose to leave.
Xiaobai guided, following the smell left by the rattlesnake, and chased away.
Instead of continuing southward, it swayed northward, and must have been in a state of uncertainty, that is, when its eyes were red, but it was not slow, and even far greater than usual.
As the distance continues to increase, the rattlesnake's body odor dissipates quickly, and Xiaobai will soon be unable to track the rattlesnake with its taste.
"What is this?"
Xiaobai smelled the fishy smell again, but when he came over, he only saw a porcupine that had fallen to the ground, and the color of his body was not the previous crimson or gray, but faintly bruised.
"Don't move. ”
Mo Ghost stopped its outstretched claws, took out a flying knife, and stabbed it into the corpse of the demon beast as if it was inflated, only to hear a soft sound, the porcupine's stomach exploded, and the internal organs mixed with poisonous blood scattered in all directions.
"Ahem!" Xiaobai pinched his nose, "This is too stinky!"
"The rattlesnake's venom is far more powerful than it used to be, and when it can control it freely, it will not be easy to catch it again. Mo Ghost endured the smell and came closer, and half of the flying knife that had just been thrown out had dissolved because it touched the blood.
The internal organs scattered to the ground are all semi-corroded, and the form can only be faintly distinguished, and its eyelids are turned open with a half-cut flying knife, and only the whites of the eyes can be seen, and the black eyes are turned up.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with your flute!" Xiao Bai covered his mouth and nose with two paws in disgust, "Why does it become so stinky when it bites the demon beast?" ”
"The bamboo flute is different," Mo Ghost glanced at the flute in his hand, the black mark on it had been cleaned up, and the venom left behind was collected by her and went back to study.
He took out another throwing knife from his sleeve and cut the entire head along the top of the porcupine's head, and the black blood flowed out along the incision, and the entire brain tissue had been completely decomposed, even more corroded than in its body.
"Huh~~~" Xiao Bai jumped on top of Xiao Hei's head in disgust and patted it away from here.
Mo Ghost ignored the two demon beasts and enlarged the incision, the entire brain of the porcupine was like a container filled with water, and the brain tissue was completely corroded.
Judging from the situation of this monster beast, the toxin mutated by the rattlesnake this time is the first to come into contact with the brain after touching the human body, and because of the strong toxicity, the rattlesnake itself is also affected.
"Have you finished reading it?" Xiaobai looked at the blood in disgust, its sense of smell was sensitive, and he only felt that his brain was groggy after smelling it for a long time.
"Wait. ”
Mo Ghost carefully searched for the wounds on the outer skin of the wild boar, and finally found two marks the size of rice grains on its neck, but the entire wild boar skin was intact, that is, the toxin was likely to flow down the bloodstream to all parts of the body, and the first to damage was the inside, especially the brain.
"Are you waiting?" Xiao Bai commanded Xiao Hei and flew up a little more.
"Okay, let's go," Mo Ghost got up, glanced at the two demon beasts in the sky, and took out a porcelain bottle filled with some blood, "Find a place, you protect the Dharma for me, and I will look for the traces of the rattlesnake." ”
You can't use the original method depending on the taste, but in this way, it is back to the beginning.
But this is also helpless, the gap between her and the rattlesnake's cultivation is too big, unless the rattlesnake wants to fight her to the end, otherwise it wants to run, and it is difficult for Mo Ghost to stay, even when it is delirious.
"Found it?" Xiao Bai watched Mo Ghost wake up.
"Well, you can find it by following the traces it left behind," Mo Ghost stood up, "From this side, there are still some demon beast corpses in front of you." ”
"How can it still have the heart to hunt demon beasts?" Xiao Bai sat directly on top of Xiao Hei's head, trying not to go down, only looking at the floating fish in the stream from a distance, each with their belly facing up, rolling their eyes.
"Perhaps, it has to be hunted," Mo Ghost pulled over a fish with silk, and after poking it, it was exactly the same as the porcupine just now, "Although the toxin is produced by the rattlesnake, it is obvious that it cannot be controlled at the moment, and it is even affecting itself, so the excess toxin must be expelled from the body." ”
"Then it's okay to spit it out directly, why bother to harm people and demon beasts?" Xiao Bai's face was blocked by Xiao Hei's feathers, but he could also think of the disgusted expression behind him.
"Just now it attacked me with toxins mixed with saliva, but the venom that fell to the ground was obviously much lower than the concentration in the blood of these demon beasts," Mo Ghost just discovered the toxins in the blood of demon beasts, which can directly corrode the ground.
"You mean, it has something to do with blood?" Xiao Bai glanced down, the fish had been dismantled by her, the flesh and blood were blurred, and she immediately retracted her gaze.
"Well, this toxin should spread with the blood, and if the rattlesnake wants to expel the toxin from the fangs, it must also bite the body of the demon beast or human cultivator, but just now I disrupted its plan and didn't catch those monks, so I could only retreat and bite the demon beast I met. ”
Mo Ghost fished the corpses from the creek to the surface, and after the sun had passed, the fish would gradually burst open, and the entire river would be polluted.
"Is there anything else ahead?" Xiao Bai poked his head and looked forward.
"Yes, the toxins that monks and demon beasts can withstand are different, and if you want it to regain its consciousness, you need a few. Mo Ghost jumped lightly, crossed the stream, and continued to walk deeper, "Be careful, there's a big demon around here." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Bai grabbed Xiao Hei's feathers, "What big demon?"
"A weasel that has become a spirit," Mo Ghost said softly, "It has lived for at least two thousand years, and it is recorded in the jade slip that it haunts this area, because there are many small demon beasts, but it has no fixed residence, so it has not been able to find its exact location." ”
"That rattlesnake is so rampaged, will it run into it?" Xiaobai said gloatingly.
"Weasels, who have been able to live for so many years, have the advantage of not causing trouble, unless they go out to hunt demon beasts, they will not come out at any time, and the possibility of meeting them is extremely small. Mo Ghost followed the traces and slowly leaned forward, "You go back to the spirit beast bag, and let you out if necessary." ”
This is already an extremely deep position, and to be on the safe side, it is better to put them away and paste the crypt on yourself.
"Bang!"
Mo Ghost stopped, and the sound of a fight came from ahead.
Quietly groping past, I saw a yellow-brown weasel with an arm-long body fighting with a rattlesnake.
"I'm poisoned and delirious, which will hurt your cub, and when I get better in the future, I will give you a favor. The rattlesnake spoke, in good order, and temporarily regained its senses, "For the sake of our previous friendships." ”
Hearing it say this, Mo Ghost noticed that not far from the ground, there was a small weasel lying in a small circle.
The rattlesnake inadvertently killed the weasel cubs, which was a good thing, but the problem was that she had never heard that the weasel had given birth, and judging by its form, it was clear that it was already an adult, that is, the weasel had already quietly given birth to offspring.
"Friendship, did you kill each other's husbands?" the weasel, also female, was on the trunk of a tree where the leaves had fallen, and opposed the rattlesnake.
"That's a husband, it's just with its sperm, and when it runs out, it will naturally be killed," the rattlesnake spat out the snake hyacinth, and his tone was cold, "Aren't you the same, it's more useful to die than to keep." ”
The mouth of the Mo ghost hiding in the shadows opened slightly, and the rattlesnake and the weasel agreed to kill each other's husbands?
"You're as cold as ever," the weasel said mockingly.
"Don't talk about this, I know you managed to hatch three cubs, it's just one of them, it's my fault for killing it, how do you want to make amends to let me go now?"
Mo Ghost didn't dare to gasp when he heard this, the weasel had already hatched three cubs secretly?
Her mind instantly conjured up the period when the rattlesnake laid eggs, and according to her speculation, the rattlesnake should not have been fertilized immediately, but had hidden sperm in its body for at least a few decades, which means that the weasel had probably given birth decades ago.
Not only that, but it also raised the cubs well, without letting any monks find out, if it weren't for the fact that the rattlesnake was not sober today, it could still hide well.
Now these monsters are really amazing!
"You don't have to owe favors, I want you to promise me one thing," the weasel had lost the anger he had begun with, and the fur on his body softened.
"What's the matter?" the rattlesnake held back the drowsiness in his head.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll look for you when I need it," the weasel didn't immediately negotiate the conditions, leaving a hand, "You have to tell me where you're going." ”
"You're a white wolf with empty gloves!" the red blood began to gather in the rattlesnake's eyes.
"Your business has been spread all over the big demons, you have killed so many people, those monks will not let you go, and now you are involved, which is equivalent to exposing myself, I will wait for you to be completely safe, and then promise me one thing," the weasel grinned and smiled treacherously.
The rattlesnake didn't speak, but looked at it coldly.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not taking advantage of others," the weasel cupped his paws, "don't worry, you can do this." ”
"Why are you here tonight by such a coincidence?" Rattlesnake held back his anger, "As far as I know, these cubs of yours don't usually come out at all, but today you not only brought them out, but also let them appear in front of me alone." ”
The weasel didn't speak, sacrificing a waste child in exchange for a rattlesnake promise, no loss.
"Hmph, the two of us, who is more indifferent?" The rattlesnake fanned its tail, and it felt the toxins in its body begin to spread to its brain again, "Tiger venom doesn't eat children, when it comes to this, I'm really far inferior to you." ”
"Will you say yes or not?" said the weasel, for today it would not agree, either by its own hands or at the hands of the monk who would be found later.
"Do I have any other options?" the rattlesnake struggled to fight the toxin, "go find me in the Unnamed Sea." ”
"You're going to the Unnamed Sea?" the weasel touched the two pinches of his beard on the side of his mouth, "It's not easy, I don't know that place well." ”
"The place where the Demon Beast Forest is connected to the Unnamed Sea is where our vein origins," the rattlesnake said slowly, they had tried their best to get closer to the transformation demon in the Demon Beast Forest, but they didn't expect that today, it would run back again.
But it won't be too long, when it completely absorbs the bloodline, and when it adapts to the toxins in its body, it will definitely kill it again!
The weasel thought about it for a while, its cub was already frail, and it would have no future interest, and it had already had an idea to let it die, and it was not a pity to be stuck here today, sacrificing it a long time ago.
"I won't go to the unnamed sea, but... You shouldn't be willing to stay there, right?" The weasel sneered, this snake is the most cold-blooded, if it hadn't been instigated back then, he wouldn't have killed the weasel ruthlessly, and ate its flesh and blood to recuperate for himself, "I'll wait here, and when the time comes, I promised my things, don't forget." ”
"In that case, I'll go first. The rattlesnake's eyes were almost full of blood, and he bothered his will and quickly left.
