Chapter 4: A Blending of Fire and Ice

"Sisisi" came from far and near, the air flow alternated between hot and cold, the hoarfrost on Du Sheng's face was disappearing, and the dripping ice water flowed into his mouth, which was slightly warm. At this moment, the ice silkworm also felt the changes around it, it began to stop gnawing, holding its head high, watching the red magma in the distance flow from far and near, meandering, and where it passed, the grass and trees were all ashes, and green smoke rose.

Du Sheng was puzzled, and the red-black slurry flow had stayed at the mouth of the basin cave. Du Sheng hurriedly fixed his eyes and took a closer look, but the voice went straight down to his throat, his heart was frightened, and cold sweat broke out. This is a well-known beast, a third-order red fire python. It was too big, its head was like a jar, its body was like a bucket, and its back was arched with black-red barbs, and its scales flashed like fire, and its belly was red and red. The red fire python raised his head and looked at Du Sheng, staring with both eyes, as if he was threatening, and it seemed to be disdainful of Du Sheng's little show of strength. And in this short moment, Du Sheng felt like his soul was scattered, his throat was hot, his whole body was numb, and his mind was blank. The moment the red fire python looked up, Du Sheng saw his own shadow reflected in its huge eyes, which made him feel as light as a feather, as if the weight of his soul had gone with it, leaving only a light and fluttering body. This paradoxical feeling skewed Du Sheng's memory. After only a few seconds, the red fire python didn't take him to heart at all, swaggering to the side, coiling high, the red scales were squeezed by each other, rattling, muscles tensed, spitting out letters, protecting the seven-inch vital place, staring at the ice silkworm with both eyes. The ice silkworm is also like a great enemy, and it is fierce at the ice spirit grass, with the cold qi entering the body, the volume of the ice silkworm is rapidly expanding, increasing hundreds of times, like the thickness of an arm, although compared with the red fire python, it is still a little smaller, but the ice silkworm is white and transparent at this time, the light blue energy is mixed with transparent blood, and it circles wildly, exuding bursts of chill, which is not to be underestimated. The two sides faced each other for a while, and when the breath on both sides rose to the peak, the battle was about to break out, and the red fire python shuttled to the rear of the ice silkworm like thunder, showing a semi-encirclement situation, and the straight and thick snake tail smashed towards the ice silkworm, and the ice silkworm saw this and hurriedly spit out a thin layer of cold air, the cold air temperature was extremely low, and the air around the place where it passed condensed, and ice flowers bloomed in mid-air. The red fire python's tail was castrated for a while, but it did not stop, and in an instant, it smashed into the sky full of rubble, and the ground was cracked. The Ice Silkworm will dodge the whip and will luckily roll on the ground a few times. But before the ice silkworm could react, the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air exploded, and the snake's tail whip swept quickly, hitting the ice silkworm. The heavy force made the ice silkworm smash into the cliff wall not far away like a pinball, and the dust was fierce, obscuring the vision. The red fire python coiled itself again, rubbed its scales, the snake scales turned from dark to red, and the temperature around the snake's body rose sharply. It stood still, its eyes fixed on the dust raised, swallowing letters, carefully searching for traces of its enemies.

After a few breaths, the dust raised slowly froze in the air, and the flying dust in the air condensed water and emitted bursts of cold mist. The fog grew thicker and thicker, blurring the vision. In the mist, there was a buzz and a roar, and black shadows floated. With a "whoosh" black shadow burst out of the thick fog, flickering and flickering, and swooped towards the red fire python. After looking closely, I realized that it was the ice silkworm that came out of the fog.

At this time, the ice silkworm was unusual, it actually grew two pairs of narrow wings on its back, crystal clear, and it was already flapping at a super high frequency, and its speed was increased by many times compared with before. The figure of the ice silkworm began to fluctuate, flickering left and right, its wings flapped violently, and an acceleration flashed to the side of the huge snake head of the red fire python, the chill came from the inside, and the cold breath spewed, and the small half of the huge snake head of the red fire python was covered with layers of white frost, and the cold air invaded the snake scales and stinged the flesh. The red fire python was in pain, grinning open, revealing its black and sharp fangs, and biting towards the air where the ice silkworm was. The ice silkworm quickly vibrated its wings, fluttered a few times, and instantly flashed to the back and abdomen of the red fire python, spitting out cold breath one after another. After the red fire python bit into the air, there was a biting chill on the back and abdomen, very annoyed, and hovered up again, burning red scales, driving away the cold, and suddenly flicked its tail whip towards the ice silkworm in the air like a storm. The ice silkworm looked at it as if it were nothing, and a few light flickeres were all easily dodged, and then a series of cold ice blows fell like raindrops, and the cold suddenly exploded on the red fire python. The body of the snake is speckled and white, which is very weird. The cold breath penetrated through the delicate snake scales, stinging the skin and flesh of the red fire python, and it didn't stop, drilling into it hard. The pain made the red fire python hiss, angry to the peak, when the air hissed, the fangs were cold, the eyes were about to hold up, as if they were about to swallow the ice silkworm alive, the body squeezed and circled, the scales glowed with fire, the back was towering, the giant head was raised, and the letter kept swallowing and measuring the distance of the attack. The Ice Silkworm is also trying to shake its wings, moving quickly from side to side, maintaining its body balance to prevent the enemy's unpredictable surprise attack. However, the continuous consumption of spitting essence qi also made it slightly sluggish. The Red Fire Python waited for the opportunity, it knew that the Ice Silkworm consumed more than itself, and if it was not careful, it could quickly defeat this enemy. Sure enough, the moment the ice silkworm's final body stopped, the red fire python saw the time and seized the opportunity. Attacking decisively, he opened his bloody mouth, pounced on it like lightning, and bit down hard, the ice silkworm could not avoid it, and was deeply embedded in the body by the fangs of the red fire python **, and the black ink-colored venom spread rapidly in the translucent body of the ice silkworm. The ice silkworm squeaked and screamed, its body quickly became smaller, and it broke away from its sharp teeth, and suddenly, the red fire python swallowed the shrunken ice silkworm in one gulp.

The red fire python became extremely uncomfortable when it landed, like a fish swallowing, shaking its body violently, the snake's tail kept slamming the ground, its body was red, the heat was steaming, the fear in its eyes was surging, tearing the bloody mouth, its face was hideous, and it couldn't help writhing and struggling. After a while, a little ice flower appeared at the neck of the snake, and then the ice flower pierced outward like an arrow, and the area expanded larger and larger, accumulating icicles. The red fire python was at a loss, twisting its body frantically, squeezing its neck, and then the icicles at the neck shattered, and the ice chips fell all over the ground, and a thumb-sized hole appeared in the neck of the red fire python, and the ice silkworm struggled to drill out of the breach, and fell heavily to the ground, the translucent body had already become black, and there was no energy fluctuation in the body. The red fire python also grinned and mourned, making a final struggle, and the blazing energy gushed out with the snake's blood from the hole, and its body could no longer support the weight of the snake's head, and it fell down with a bang.

Du Sheng looked at this short and tragic battle in a daze, as if he was in a different world. Seeing the ending of both defeats, Fang came to his senses and secretly rejoiced, but he was stunned to feel a huge black shadow above his head smashing overhead, and it was the huge body of the Red Fire Python. In an instant, the blazing snake blood splattered all over his body. The Red Fire Python is originally a spirit beast of heaven and earth, and its blood is full of spirituality when it has been cultivated so far. The moment the snake blood first touched Du Sheng's body, the blazing fire attribute energy gushed out in a steady stream as if it could not be vented, twisting into a blood snake in the air, coiling on Du Sheng's body, surging with blazing heat, burning his skin and sizzling. Du Sheng only felt that his eyes were about to support, and it was not good to scream, and the few mouthfuls of extremely cold qi injected by the original ice silkworm also erupted with the subtle invasion of peripheral energy, surging wildly in the dantian, as if he smelled the smell of the enemy, so he refused to give up even if he had to gush out and destroy it completely. This is good, the blood on Du Sheng's body is gathering more and more, the surrounding temperature is no longer warm, but becomes irritable, the temperature rises sharply, and a steady stream of fire attribute energy rushes into the dantian, burning the skin. The two energies were rampaging all over the body, muscles, organs, bones, muscles, and skin, and the situation was getting more and more intense, as if they were all declaring victory, and they looked down on this weak teenager at all, and they were very faceless.

"Hot, hot, water, I'm going to drink water. Du Sheng was hot, his face was red, his skin was dry and his flesh was cracked, white smoke was steaming on the top of his head, and his blood was boiling. He kept rolling, hoarse, his hands tearing his clothes like a madman, and his originally slender body was now swollen as if saturated, his veins dilated, and he was like a human-shaped balloon. In such a predicament, if you allow the fiery energy to gather and fill your body like this, you will definitely die. Faced with the choice that he only had to die, he simply didn't do anything, and he didn't believe that he couldn't accept this power. The inner choice aroused his unyielding stubbornness and supported his dying consciousness. With such a mentality, Du Sheng's dead horse became a live horse doctor, his fat and swollen fingers pinched the seal with difficulty, the life and death duel was forcibly operated, the spiritual power barely operated until Zhou Tian, and the three clear streams and veins were parallel to each other, scrambling. The two spiritual powers, one cold and one hot, are quite restricted, and they settle down a little. Du Sheng didn't dare to be careless in his heart, and tried extremely hard to maintain his balance, sometimes raising the sky and roaring, spraying blazing flames dozens of feet high from his mouth, sometimes growing lotuses all over the ground, and ice vines scattered out ice flowers. With the loss of blood and energy, Du Sheng's breath gradually stabilized, while the torso of the red fire python had contracted sharply with the loss of blood and energy until it dried up.

"Grandpa, grandpa, look, there's a fire-breathing dragon in the valley over there. Grandpa, look, it's squirting again. Hurry up and see. The flames that rose several feet high above the valley where Du Sheng was located caused the birds and beasts around to scatter, and there was a lot of movement, which also caused the nearby medicine pickers to retreat one after another, for fear that some monsters would come out of nowhere and affect them.
