Chapter 30: Advanced (2)
Xiao Jian carefully removed the magazine of the sniper rifle from the gun, and carefully checked the ammunition inside. There are a total of six bullets in it, these bullets, for the current Xiao Jian, the remaining bullets are simply more valuable than gold, the world he is in now, it is impossible to replenish ammunition for a while, all the sniper bullets he is now add up, and there are only thirteen rounds in total, if it weren't for the fact that Zuo Jincheng has saved himself twice, and now he is doing things for himself, Xiao Jian will not easily use this treasure at the bottom of the box to press the last one. You know, there is no big difference between a sniper rifle with no bullets and a stick for fire. At that time, it would be more convenient to use the long sword in your hand. Thinking about when I was still in Huaxia at that time, I could receive as many bullets as I wanted, and I never had to worry about such a trivial matter, and it was also in that situation that I never thought about how to save ammunition. And now, without ammunition supply, there will be one less bullet in your hand, and you have to worry about it, and you must let every bullet be used where it is most needed. In fact, many things in the world are like this, when you have it, you don't know how to cherish it, only when you lose it completely, you will suddenly find that many of the things you have lost are the most important, the most cherished, and the most worth remembering in your life. But many times, when I finally understand, everything has become history, and I can't get it back.
Xiao Jian carefully reloaded the magazine back into the sniper rifle, began to lie down in a bush, used the scope to lock on to the target he had just found again, and began to silently wait in his heart for the arrival of the best shooting opportunity. It's not about Xiao Jian, even Zuo Liancheng can't figure out how long it will take for the Snake King to advance, and to what extent it will be considered to be completed. The advancement of animals is the same as the advancement of a type of cultivator, it is extremely taboo to be disturbed by external objects, because if the process of advancement is suddenly interrupted, it will lead to the failure of the advancement, and it will be difficult to advance in the future. When they advance, they tend to choose a remote place away from the crowd. Therefore, if it is not a coincidence, it is rare for ordinary people to see a scene where there is a chance to advance to animals. Since everyone has no bottom in their hearts, they have no choice but to take one step at a time and act at the opportunity.
At this time, the huge snake king was constantly writhing his huge body on the ground, and the weeds and small trees around him had long been rubbed by it so that he could no longer see his original appearance, and the huge snake tail slapped the rocks and clods on the ground from time to time, raising up dust in the sky, and it seemed to be extremely painful. As the speed of the snake's body intensified, a thin crack began to appear in the middle of its huge triangular head, and then the crack began to slowly increase, enlarged, and finally slowly peeled off to both sides, revealing a new layer of snow-white snakeskin, the new snakeskin looked obviously more crystal clear than the old skin that had faded, and the texture on it was also more fine, like a delicate satin, but there was a faint hint of sky blue in the snow-white.
"Could it be that this snake king's advancement is to shed the original old skin?" Xiao Jian thought in his heart. Remember that when you are on Earth, snakes will shed their original skin when they grow to a certain extent. Their epidermis has no sweat glands, it is easy to keratinize, many snakes have to molt four or five times a year, in traditional Chinese medicine, this kind of skin shed from the snake is called "dragon clothes", it is said to treat a lot of skin diseases have a special effect, and it is expensive. However, this is an advanced level of the Snake King, is it also that simple? Xiao Jian told the Zuo Liancheng couple around him in detail about the scene he had observed—they were so far apart, and they didn't have to worry about the Snake King who was molting hearing the conversation between the three of them.
"It shouldn't be so simple, if it's an ordinary molt, how can it make such a big noise?" Zuo Liancheng wasn't sure, but he instinctively thought that things couldn't be as simple as the three imagined.
"I've heard that many demon beasts have the potential to trigger visions of heaven and earth when they are advanced, and sometimes they even cause heaven and earth snow tribulations. Because the path of cultivation is a process of changing one's life against the sky, whether it is taking the martial path, the Dharma path, the demon path or any other way, it is constantly challenging the limits of one's physiology and body, and if the challenge is successful, it will enter a higher level, and if the challenge fails, it will either stagnate at the original level, or die. Of course, there are also many people who never dare to challenge their own fate, they are always content with the status quo, get by, although they do not have to experience the risks brought by the challenge, but they are also doomed to be mediocre and inactive in their lives. This snake king is so huge, and when it advanced, it made such a big battle, and drove so many poisonous snakes to protect its Dharma, it should be that it felt that it might trigger the vision of heaven and earth when it evolved. In fact, whether it is just a simple molt this time, we will wait to see how it reacts after molting. ”
I saw that the snake king's movement was even greater at this time, and he kept rubbing his huge head against the rock beside him, and the huge rock that was two feet high was actually rubbed and swayed by it. Finally began to molt in earnest, the thick snake skin first peeled off from the head, then seven inches, and then slowly the body, tail. At this time, the originally clear sky gradually began to become cloudy, and the thick clouds were getting lower and lower, and there was a faint beginning to flash thunder and lightning in it.
"Could it be that you can even attract a thunderstorm?" Zuo Liancheng exclaimed, "Then at least the Yijing is above the sixth order, if we can kill him, then we will be very rich." Snake King above the sixth order, his whole body is full of treasures. ”
"Haha, the best is yet to come, I've never eaten the snake meat of the snake king above the sixth order, so I think it should be extremely delicious. Xiao Jian Zuo Liancheng was very excited, and he also made a joke.
"That's not necessarily, the snake king above the sixth order is at least an old monster that has lived for a thousand or two thousand years, you think about its old meat, maybe it can't be stewed!" Josia quipped beside her.
"What the hell is wrong with your weapon like a burning stick? Don't wait for a long time, but you can't even break its head, and you will rejoice. Zuo Liancheng didn't know what Xiao Jian was holding in his hand, and asked a little worriedly.
"You can rest assured about this, this guy in my hand is amazing, two or three inches thick steel plate can be pierced, I don't believe his head will be so hard. Xiao Jian knew the power of the sniper rifle in his hand well, and said confidently.
The huge snake skin finally shed from the snake king's body, and the snake king at this time looked obviously weaker than before, although he was still writhing his body, but the amplitude of his movements was getting smaller and smaller compared to before. At last, the Serpent King coiled its huge body into a huge circle of twenty or thirty squares, and then remained motionless, except to stare angrily at the lower and lower dark clouds and the denser and denser lightning in the sky with its huge triangular tongue.
At this time, the sky was already pouring rain, and the lightning in the clouds flickered more and more violently, brighter and brighter. Finally, with a rumbling thunder, an arm-thick thunderbolt slashed down on the snake's head, and the snake king did not show weakness, only to see it raise the huge snake's head, open its mouth and spew out a white light the size of lightning, and the thunder and lightning collided together, after a flash of electric light, the white light disappeared, and the thunder and lightning also disappeared at the same time.
"It's so powerful, it's really a good monster who has become a fine!" Xiao Jian couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to the snake king in his heart.
The sky also seemed to be enraged by the Snake King's provocation, "Boom", three loud bangs, and almost at the same time, three bolts of lightning that were obviously twice as early as the previous thunder and lightning slashed at the Snake King's head.
The snake king was no longer entrenched on the ground at this time as he was just now, first spit out a white light from his huge mouth, and collided with the thunder and lightning in the middle, and then the huge snake tail fell upward, hitting another thunderbolt on the left, and finally rolled on the spot, between the lightning and flint, it was able to dodge the third lightning on the right!
However, the thunder tribulation did not end there, and then five thunderbolts of water bucket thickness fell at the same time from different angles, which was simply a posture of not giving up until the snake king was killed on the spot.
The Snake King, who had successfully dodged the previous three thunderbolts, also showed an unyielding look in his huge blood-red eyes. Three rays of white light also erupted from its mouth almost at the same time, and then, the huge snake tail swung left and right, and suddenly smashed the two boulders one or two feet high next to it at once, and its huge snake body also rose into the air with the power of this rebound, and it actually hit the last two thunderbolts without dodging, it seems that it wants to rely on the strength of its body to carry the last two thunder tribulations!
Looking at such a thrilling scene in front of them, the three of them were stunned for a while, and they didn't recover for a while.
The Snake King finally succeeded in carrying the nine thunderbolts, the lightning in the sky became less and less, the thunder became lower and lower, and the original backlog of clouds gradually began to disperse. However, after carrying the last two thunderbolts, the snake king's body was already scarred, the entire snake tail was burned black by the thunderbolt, and its abdomen was even more fleshy by the thunderbolt, and the flesh and blood were blurred. And it itself was lying on the ground, dying.
"It's time now!" Xiao Jian used the scope to lock the seven inches of the snake king, and pulled the trigger in his hand without hesitation. With a "bang" of gunshots, the bullet hit the snake king's seven inches exactly, leaving a huge hole in it.
