Chapter 60: The Three-Lined Black Flame Snake
The ensuing sudden situation is really extremely abrupt, and the thoughts that emerge in everyone's mind are completely chaotic, like several balls of thread of the same color and size intertwined together, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find the right end from it to unravel, so as to sort out all the clues.
The chaos and impact in their minds were so stirring that they couldn't get used to it, only their bodies naturally made their best defenses, as if they had been prepared.
This also shows once again that these casual cultivators are not just a group of vain people, each of them is a person who has personally experienced various crises and escapes from these crises, and only in this way can they develop this almost instinctive reaction speed.
"This man must have died a long time ago, but it's strange, when did he die?", one of the Sanxiu looked at the black skeleton of the corpse on the ground, glanced at the severed arm, and said very seriously in the silent crowd.
Most of the people in the crowd were still sorting out the context of the matter, but there were still some clear-headed people who quickly sorted out the key points, and when they heard the conclusion of this loose cultivator, they felt a crisis inexplicably in their hearts, and they were slowly overshadowed.
They all knew that the words of the man they were saying were not false, for they had already sensed it before the corpse was burned by the crimson flames, not to mention that a man who had completely exposed his body to the gray mist had seen the scene when he went deep underground, and anyone could detect the strangeness in their hearts.
In particular, he noticed that Qingyanlou, who knew the most about this place, reacted so violently, not only guarding Lin Hai and Xiao Qian closely, but also showing a killing aura that had not been seen so far, and did not mean to let anyone take a step closer.
All the moments reminded them that what was happening at the moment must be related to the danger in the depths of the earth, and if they did not muster their spirits, death could be instantaneous.
"Why would you attack this man when he is dead?"
"Hehe, don't you know what kind of place this is? This is the place where the meteorite fell, and it's no surprise that this kind of thing happened."
"That's right, don't you see that even the people in Qingyanlou are so cautious? I guess they have already understood what is happening here, but what kind of creature is it that can actually withstand the blow of a strong man in the Jade Pill Realm?"
These scattered cultivation minds are also very sensitive, and they can hold up a palm in the hands of Lin Hai, a powerhouse in the realm of Jade Pill, but there are no scars on their bodies, and all kinds of manifestations show that the slender black shadow force that suddenly appeared in front of them must no longer be under the ordinary rare beasts.
......
After a period of low and solemn silence, the scattered cultivators threw all their questions to the Qingyan Tower, which was waiting for them, and at the same time, everyone's eyes fell on the rock wall again.
"Manager Lin Hai, although the juniors know that this place is not so simple, and they have already prepared for it, but what is going on in front of you?"
Being under the heavy guards of Qingyan Tower, Xiao Qian was also confused at this time, and after recovering from the surprise attack just now, he asked Lin Hai on the side with great confusion.
From what he knew before, there was no detailed information about this place, so he didn't know that this was really normal.
Even if Lin Hai had spoken to him not long ago, he had only mentioned the dangers and possible situations here, but he had not said that such a situation would occur.
At this time, Lin Hai's face was also a little puzzled, and he glanced at the right hand that he had made before, and a few rare strands of solemnity gradually appeared between his eyebrows.
Xiao Qian noticed a few strands of solemnity between Lin Hai's eyebrows, and the curiosity in his heart became heavier and heavier, accompanied by a deeper understanding of the danger deep underground.
Everyone in the Starfall Land knew Lin Hai's cultivation, if Fei Ran and Wu Xing were the powerhouses of the first tier that were obviously on the Starfall Land today, then it could be said unceremoniously that Lin Hai and Liu Hong were the powerhouses of the second tier only below the two of them.
However, when facing the slender black shadow in front of him, Lin Hai, who flew it out with the power of one palm, actually showed solemnity, it is conceivable that he was not satisfied with his shot, but was wary of the slender black shadow.
Although it was clear what Lin Hai's reason was, it was an invisible pressure for a creature who could make a strong man in the Jade Pill Realm still need to remain vigilant after using a palm.
"Deacon Xiao, if you want to say this, it is really difficult to explain, and it is difficult for the general manager to explain it for a while, rather than this, Deacon Xiao should look at it with his eyes, maybe he can understand it better."
Signaling slightly to the outermost person, Lin Hai once again returned to his previous calm and calm state, but the cautiousness in his eyes deepened.
After seeing Lin Hai's gaze, one of the guards on the periphery looked nervous and vigilant, and his face flashed a little reluctantly, but he could only walk out hard.
As soon as this person's body moved, everyone's eyes instantly shifted to him, and as he moved cautiously, it finally landed on the rock wall.
Everyone could see the solemnity and caution in his expression, and they could also sense the faint fear in his heart from the slight trembling of his movements.
Especially when he stood less than a meter away from the rock wall, the pace under his feet had involuntarily slowed down, from the previous whole step to half a step, and the tremor on his body became more and more obvious with each step he moved, and the weapon in his hand was also horizontal in front of him, as if he was always on guard against the slender black shadow that no trace of breath was embedded in the rock wall.
It wasn't until the weapon in his hand provoked the creature in the rock wall several times and confirmed that there was no response to any movement, that the fear in his heart slowly disappeared, and finally reached into the gap under the gaze of everyone.
The slender black shadow embedded deep in the rock wall was more than two meters long, leaving a gap just large enough to fit into a man's fist, but not as deep as his arm.
One can imagine how powerful Lin Hai's palm is, but it can also be seen that the slender black shadow's physical resistance is so strong, and it can actually maintain a complete physical body under Lin Hai's powerful palm.
Everyone was staring intently, breathing became heavy, and everyone's heart was beating with his every move, getting faster and more intense.
After all, it was the first time for all of them to come to the depths of the underground, and they didn't know much about this place, and they didn't have half of the information about the dangers that existed here, so they could only guess their next response through Qing Yanlou's reaction.
It was dark in the slit, and the man could only tell by the slight coldness of his fingertips whether he had caught the shadow.
In his senses, the cold feeling from the black shadow was exactly the same as the corpse he had touched before, and then he finally put his mind at ease, and his tense body was also a lot easier, and finally took out a long black snake more than two meters long from inside.
The size of the long black snake seemed to be just over two meters, but when it fell from this person's hand, it was actually nearly three meters.
The slender body is only the size of an adult's forearm, and the black inky scales shimmer with a slight cold light, giving people a feeling that is as hard as iron.
However, the most surprising thing is that there are three lines of different colors on the abdomen of the long black snake, which connect from the tail end of the long black snake to the head, and finally cross together on its forehead to form a flame-like pattern.
The flame pattern is composed of three different colors: red, yellow, and orange, but the color it shows is not a normal flame, but an unknown black flame, which is very clear under the light of the true qi in the hands of the people of Qingyanlou, just like a real flame, but at the same time, it also gives people a little uneasiness in the bottom of their hearts.
"This is the !!Three-Line Black Flame Snake!!"
After taking a few careful glances at the long black snake in his hand, the people of Qingyanlou couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the ensuing fear that appeared from the depths of his heart subconsciously threw the black long snake out of his hands.
Hearing the screams and fear of his subordinates, Xiao Qian nodded secretly, and at the same time, his body began to tense and become vigilant.
"Three-line Black Flame Snake, what kind of beast is this, how come I've never heard of it?".
"I've never heard of this beast before, is it only here?, or is it a rare beast?"
"Well, that's right, it seems that there are still a lot of secrets in the depths of the earth."
Hearing this unfamiliar name during the meditation, everyone asked the others around them in great confusion, only to find that no one had ever heard of this beast.
What's more, judging from the various manifestations of this beast, it has the physical ability of an ordinary rare beast at the level of a fierce beast alone, which is undoubtedly a very powerful beast.
Looking at the third-line black flame snake that was held in his hand by his subordinates who were holding back fear, Xiao Qian couldn't help but speak: "Chief Lin Hai, is this one of the strange beasts you are talking about?"
Lin Hai didn't answer Xiao Qian's question, but just tapped it slightly.
Xiao Qian's pupils suddenly froze, and he recalled in his mind the several alien beasts that Lin Hai had mentioned to him before that lived deep underground, and finally found one that matched the one in front of him from his memory.
In fact, just as these scattered cultivators had guessed, the third-line black flame snake was indeed a strange beast that could only be possessed in the depths of the underground here.
In Lin Hai's information to Xiao Gan, there was detailed information about this strange beast, which was one of the most important alien beasts that Qing Yanlou had received in the past three years in the battle.
According to the information obtained by Xiao Qian, the third-line black flame snake is a kind of alien beast that likes to live in an environment full of heat, especially likes to live next to some kind of earth fire, and achieves its own transformation and growth by sucking the flames of the earth fire.
Its strength can be seen from the three lines on its body, because for them, these three lines are actually the condensation of the flame essence they have absorbed, and each condensation requires a large amount of flame power.
The strength of the Black Flame Snake, which only has a red line under its abdomen, is not very high, and ordinary acquired cultivators can fight against it and can easily kill it.
And after absorbing enough flames, its body will undergo its first transformation, and the lines under its abdomen will also be split into two, and the color of one of them will also change to yellow, and the strength of the Black Flame Snake at this stage is already slightly better than that of ordinary Innate Realm cultivators.
When it sucks enough flames again, and when it produces a second metamorphosis, the third orange line will appear, and the Black Flame Snake at this time is the real third-line Black Flame Snake in a sense, and its strength has exceeded the cultivators of the Innate Peak Realm, even if it is facing the cultivation of the half-step Turbidity Pill realm, it will not fall behind at all.
And the third transformation is just like the three-line black flame snake in front of him, the three lines under the abdomen are intertwined on the forehead to form a black flame pattern, and the strength is already almost the same as the ordinary turbidity pill realm.
And once the three lines under the abdomen are completely converged on the forehead, its strength will transform again, and it will become the most powerful existence among the rare beasts.
"Three-line Black Flame Snake, Senior Brother Blood Lie, why have I never heard of this kind of strange beast? Is it really like they say, this kind of strange beast is only available here?"
Blood Lie, who was also puzzled, came back to his senses from the question of a Blood Sword Sect disciple beside him, but at the same time as he came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed the flame pattern on the forehead of the three-line black flame snake in the hands of the person in Qingyanlou, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.
Through the gray mist that had been foggy again, his scattered minds saw the vigilance and anger in the eyes of more than nine adults in the casual cultivation, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Turning to look at Lin Hai indifferently, the corners of Blood Lie's mouth suddenly smiled evilly, with a bit of banter and solemnity in his eyes: "Lin Hai, you should also tell us what kind of danger exists in the depths of the underground, and what kind of strange beast is this third-line black flame snake!"
The sudden change in Blood Lie's attitude surprised everyone, but at the same time, they also realized that this was the best time for them to change from passive to active from Qingyanlou's coercion, and it was also an opportunity to get the information they wanted, if they let it go easily, I am afraid it would be difficult to find this kind of opportunity again.
Lin Hai didn't seem to expect Blood Lie to suddenly ask him for verification, but from Blood Lie's ill-intentioned tone, he felt deep malice.
In particular, he noticed that all the scattered cultivators who were driven under his words actually faintly had a bit of the momentum of the same hatred and hatred in them, and there was no longer contempt in his eyes when he looked at the blood spirit.
Even so, he was still very confident in his heart, with his cultivation in the Jade Pill Realm, not to mention that these people here, even if there were a few more scattered cultivators in the Turbidity Pill Realm, they could be suppressed by his backhand.
Therefore, Lin Hai did not respond positively to Xuelie's ill-intentioned question from beginning to end, only the aura on his body was slowly rising and rising, making all the scattered cultivators and the people of the Blood Knife Sect who were always paying attention to Lin Hai's reaction nervous.
