Chapter 19: Where the Spring Flows

The next day, the butterfly fairy told Su Mu that he and Liyuan would go into the valley to pick some herbs, so that Su Mu could take good care of Ning Ning at home.

Su Mu was a little puzzled, he had helped Aunt Yue go to collect medicine before, Liyuan didn't know about medicinal materials, and he wasn't very familiar with the terrain in the valley, why did he want to find Liyuan.

Thinking of this, Su Mu said, "Aunt Yue, why don't Uncle Liyuan stay and take care of Ning Ning, I'll accompany you." ”

"Don't be stupid boy, you are a little wary of people, now that this man's illness is almost better, it is time to participate in some more coolie activities, but you have been busy recently, you have to pay attention to recuperation, otherwise how can I help you treat your meridians at that time?" Butterfly Fairy retorted with a smile.

"Yes, little brother Su Mu, you just stay at home, Ning Ning will trouble you. Liyuan also said with a smile.

Looking at Ning Ning, who was dragging the corners of his clothes on the side, Su Mu felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart, but he couldn't detect any more clues, so he had to agree. watched as Butterfly Fairy and Liyuan left the house one after the other and walked into the deep valley.

There were only two people left in the huge house, Su Mu and Ning Ning, Ning Ning looked as if she had just woken up at this time, and her dazed appearance was very cute, she tried to stay awake, staring at Su Mu with big eyes.

"Mu... Elder brother... Elder brother... Father... He... Go... Where..."Although Ning Ning's voice is much better and she can speak some longer sentences, her voice is still a little stumbling and hoarse, which is very similar to Su Mu when he was a child.

Su Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "Ning Ning, Uncle Liyuan and Aunt Yue have gone to collect medicine, and they will come back in a while, let's go to the inner room when the weather is cold here." ”

"Okay~" Ning Ning smiled sweetly, wrapped the bib around her neck tightly with her hands, and her face was red like a tender apple.

The continuous cloudy sky finally appeared today with a ray of sunlight that cleared the clouds and mist, and warmly sprinkled on Su Mu and Ning Ning's bodies, which also made Ning Ning's mental state look very good.

Today will definitely be a good day, Su Mu thought to himself.

On the other hand, the butterfly fairy and Liyuan crossed the dense forest, followed the road signs left by the butterfly fairy before, and spent a whole morning finally finding the trace of the six-flower python.

The butterfly fairy looked at the traces of the six-flowered python crawling on the ground, and her brows furrowed. Liyuan, who was watching with his burden on the side, couldn't help but feel nervous.

"This, Medical Immortal, has something happened?" Liyuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's a little weird. "This mark is a little different from the last time I saw it, it seems to be much larger and clearer. Maybe the last time I found it, it was a long time later, and it was destroyed a lot by other alien beasts, but it wasn't as clear as this time. Judging by the humidity and softness of the soil, the traces were probably left just an hour or two ago. ”

"Doesn't that mean that the six-flowered python is near us?" Liyuan was startled, and quickly raised the iron sword that was secretly brought out of the warehouse, and looked around to be on guard.

"It's still some distance from the valley I predicted, so it shouldn't be around here. "The eggs of the six-flowered python must be in extremely clear and cold water in order to develop and hatch properly, so I am afraid that it has already gone there." We were lucky, the egg-laying process of the six-flowered python was less than two days, and we should be able to catch up in terms of time. ”

With that, he continued to move towards the depths of the valley on his own.

Liyuan touched the crawling marks left on the ground, and the strange lines made him shiver in his heart. Liyuan swallowed his saliva, but still gritted his teeth and followed.

After another hour or so, the butterfly fairy and Liyuan finally came to the deepest part of the valley, which was a place with extremely beautiful scenery. The babbling stream gathers here to form a spring, lapping against several boulders on the shore and making a gurgling sound. The valley is deep and secluded, it is early winter at this time, although the branches and leaves on the trees have already fallen, but the tenacious shrubs still provide excellent shelter for the butterfly fairy and Liyuan. Following the sight of the butterfly fairy, a huge python with intricate patterns several meters long was lying very weakly on the shore, its lower body had been completely submerged in the spring water, and it was obvious that it was about to lay eggs.

The butterfly fairy turned around and glanced at Liyuan, who was already trembling, and said, "The wind direction is very steady, the six-flowered python has already begun to lay eggs there, it can be seen that it is indeed very weak, I will go to the slope of the upper reaches of the stream and start lighting incense, there will be a lilac fragrance wafting here, if the six-flowered python has smoked enough incense, it will close its eyes and enter a coma, then you will go up and pierce its head, take out its snake tendons and snake gall bladder." The butterfly fairy commanded.

"This, Lord Medical Immortal, or I will only be responsible for lighting the incense, and you will kill the snake and take the tendons yourself..."Liyuan said with some trepidation.

"Don't you dare to kill a snake that can't move?" "The butterfly fairy looked down on the man in front of her more and more, "I tell you, if I can, I will definitely do it myself." It's just that this incense has to be carefully blended and controlled, and it has to be drifted in the wind for a while to achieve its best effect, and maybe the snake may wake up when I return. ”

"Why can't you light incense from here?" Liyuan still didn't give up.

"It was lit straight here, and we were spotted by the snake before the incense could take effect. "Even if it's in a weakened state now, it's a piece of cake to kill both of us." ”

Liyuan knew that there was no other way, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clenched the sword in his hand.

The butterfly fairy knew that Liyuan had made up his mind, so he turned around and left to arrange incense upwind.

Lilac smoke, lilac smoke. Liyuan's eyes stared at the huge six-flowered python, and he didn't dare to come out. is waiting to complete the task given to him by the butterfly fairy as soon as possible. To be honest, he is really scared now, Liyuan was born in a scholarly family when he was a child, although he fell early in the family road, but he also lived a pampered life for a while. After the family fell for a long time, he was admitted to the Tanhua of the Tu Nan Guowen test, and was recruited as a son-in-law by the big man, and he has not been exposed to these bloody jobs since he was a child. Even after being kicked out of the house, he mostly did some hard work. Liyuan knows that he is a little cowardly by nature, and although he has always looked down on those who fight and kill, dance with knives and guns on the surface, he actually envies those heroes who go to the end of the world with a sword. It's just that his own body is bones, and he obviously doesn't have that opportunity.

Now there is an opportunity to prove himself, for the sake of Ning Ning, and in order to repay Su Mu's kindness to him, Liyuan decided to fight.

Finally, Liyuan saw the lilac smoke slowly drifting. Looking in the direction of the smoke, you can see that on the hillside not far away, the figure in purple is naturally a butterfly fairy.

The smoke slowly drifted in the wind, stopping around the curled up Six-Flowered Python. The six-flowered python was obviously very sensitive to the smoke in front of it, it raised its head slightly, writhed and sniffed in the smoke, and after a while, its eyes slowly closed.

After waiting for dozens of breaths, confirming that the six-flowered python in front of him was indeed unconscious, Liyuan lifted his sword and emerged from the bushes, and cautiously approached the six-flowered python step by step, not daring to make any footsteps.

Closer and closer, closer and closer, the six-flowered python is almost close at hand. At this time, Liyuan had the opportunity to get a close look at the whole picture of this big python that usually lives in a cave. It was larger and stronger than it looked from a distance, and its long body seemed to be able to strangle a person with ease. The markings on his body were very hideous, and the slippery skin was also terrifying, which made Liyuan shiver.

Liyuan came to the head position of the six-flower python, and the six-flower python still did not react when it was so close at this time, which also made Liyuan feel a little calmer.

Now you just need to follow the plan of the butterfly fairy, and it will be fine. Liyuan comforted himself in his heart.

But when Liyuan did a good job of mental construction and slowly raised his sword to stab down, he seemed to suddenly recall a lot of things.

Remembering what the Butterfly Fairy had said to him, and also recalling the journey with the Butterfly Fairy all the way to the valley today, he felt as if he had overlooked something very important.

Although the six-flowered python in front of them was very huge, its width seemed to be narrower than the traces they found on the road.

It didn't seem like enough to leave such a large and visible mark on the ground.

If the trail of the six-flowered python they found on the road was not the one in front of them. If this spawning python still has a mate. At this time, when his child is about to be born, is it possible not to be by his side? Liyuan's mind recalled his nervousness, excitement and excitement when Ning Ning was born, as well as the extreme shock and grief when he learned that Ning Ning's mother had died due to cold phagocytosis.

If the six-flower python in front of him is Ning Ning's mother, where is he at this time?
